Breaking!! Obama uses both his index and his middle finger when he flips people off!!!!

[Frank Booth]

We all know Obama flipped Hillary off. He must have flipped her off, because Taylor Marsh told us so! The fact that he used two fingers to scratch the side of his face doesn't mean he didn't flip her off!! That's just how he flips people off! It's his whole, weird "foreign" thing. Look, here's a picture:

[cliffordu]

1. That's that al kida secret hand signal we been hearing about...

:rofl:

[Bongo Prophet]

35. And the Bosnian Pinky! Shame on you, Barack Obama!

That pinky gesture is so insulting, I won't even repeat it here.
DU is "balkanized" enough as it is.


This is SO much more important than the wars, economy, energy policy or "massive retaliation" in defense of Israel and other middle eastern countries.

Priorities, ya know. ;)

[cliffordu]

37. OMFG!!!! Not that!!!!!!! oh noeeeesss!!!!!111!1!!!!1

:rofl:

[SemiCharmedQuark]

He's going to pick his nose and wipe it on an American flag no doubt.

Right ABC?

[kenny blankenship]

42. This one is variously interpreted as "There is no God but God and Mohammed is His Prophet"

but also in other contexts, "The anthrax is in the mail, calm down already" or "Have I ever told you how I met your mother?"

[cliffordu]

63. LOL!! That's some funny shit.....!

:rofl:

[PA Democrat]

90. He was also blinking in Morse Code :"Death to America"

Seriously, OMG! If you splice the first 25 seconds of every campaign speech he's given on odd numbered Tuesdays, you'll see he's clearly blinking out this disturbing message!

[GarbagemanLB]

2. It's a combination flip-off and gang-signs making a shout-out to the south side of Chicago. Clearly

you don't understand.

:rofl: :rofl:

[anonymous171]

3. This is such an important issue in the race.

:rofl:

[Blue_Roses]

4. good grief...

you've got to be kidding...

who started this crap? :eyes:

[GarbagemanLB]

5. Hillbots in their death throes.

[woolldog]

21. believe it or not

it's on the LATimes blog currently.

[maddiejoan]

6. Uhm

you do realize in that pic he's only scratching with his middle finger --right?

[anonymous171]

8. ummm

You do realize that many people scratch their faces with only one finger with no ill intent, don't you?

[maddiejoan]

82. watch the CBS clip

you can see how funny he thought his joke was.

[Dbdmjs1022]

9. You don't see his index finger? It's the one extended right next to his middle one

Jeesh, they call US delusional?

[cliffordu]

40. HE HAS FINGERS?????? I thought those were claws......

crab-people crab-people.......

[maddiejoan]

83. watch the clip

you know he's doing exactly that.

[scheming daemons]

89. I did..... no way can you conclude that TWO extended fingers REALLY meant ONE.....

Sorry.... maddiejoan... just like Maddy McCall.... you've become a parody of yourself.

[maddiejoan]

91. I know what I saw

not only were two fingers NOT extended --it is so clear that he knew what he was doing --and it's even clear many in the audience knew it as well.


watch the CBS clip --he seems so pleased at his little joke.

[cali]

97. Pathetic and you are without a doubt the most shameless

hypocrite on DU. You with your outrage about the Lorraine Motel stuff? Sickening.

[maddiejoan]

103. Oh please Cali

there's a pic of you next to hypocrite in the dictionary.

Watch the video --watch the full context.

Obama flipped her the bird --and even then --I'm left with a big so what.

Who even cares if he did? I don't.

But to deny that he did it? That's just bizarre.


PS --the Lorraine photo spread was Maddy's. I know we all look alike to you --but that wasn't me.

[cali]

105. I apologize for confusing you with Maddie McCall

and shove your hypocritical shit and your moronic comment about all looking alike to me- whatever the hell you meant by that.

[maddiejoan]

117. you confused me with another Hillary supporting Maddie

that's what I meant.

I remember when you used to have a sense of humor.

Where did it get to?

[maddiejoan]

118. you confused me with another Hillary supporting Maddie

that's what I meant.

I remember when you used to have a sense of humor.

Where did it get to?

[IsItJustMe]

102. I don't know it at all. But in your fricked up reality system, anything is possible.

[Drunken Irishman]

10. Uhm

Can you not see his index finger rising up parallel to his middle finger? Generally, though, middle fingers are longer than the index finger.

[maddiejoan]

84. I can see his index finger fine

it's crooked.

[Drunken Irishman]

112. So who flips people off with their index finger up?

[maddiejoan]

120. ...

:eyes:

[ruggerson]

15. lol

it's amazing ain't it?

It's a dumb story to begin with. He was probably just scratching his face.

But posting a pic that clearly shows only one finger being used to PROVE an assertion that it is two, well.... you gotta love this place.

[grace0418]

20. If by "only" you mean "also" then yes, we realize that.

But maybe someone photoshopped that other finger in.

[Zachstar]

45. Oh my.. hold up your hand..

What is the longest finger?

There is no law saying you have to scratch your face with half your hand.

We have to get away from the gotcha crap. It is making democrats look like dumbasses.

[onenote]

85. and here's a photo from another angle

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5561283&mesg_id=5561283

[maddiejoan]

87. again

your pic only proves he was flipping the bird.

[scheming daemons]

92. How does a pic of TWO fingers extended prove he was flipping the bird?

You've become a parody of yourself.

[maddiejoan]

99. watch the effing movie

you pic is half of a second in time.

it proves nothing --the clip speaks for itself.

[scheming daemons]

109. I saw the clip..... you're still wrong.

[maddiejoan]

119. whatever, Skippy

[onenote]

93. again

your post only proves you're blind

But I'm always willing to help out a fellow DUer: http://www.visionhelp.com/

[maddiejoan]

100. I don;t think so

watch the movie --the snapshot of .5 second moment proves nothing.

The intent is quite obvious in the unedited CBS version (in fact it's MORE evident in the unedited version)

[onenote]

104. I've watched it several times

I watched it when he first scratched his face with his pinky. ANd then when he scratched with two fingers.

What video are you watching. Or was that pinky thing part of an elaborate set-up?

[IsItJustMe]

101. Sad.

[Lord Helmet]

7. shit the story was going so well until you busted them

[FrenchieCat]

11. And supposedly, in that large crowd, for a split second.......

everyone reacted to what he was doing (they said).....alhtough most wouldn't have been able to see it. They were reacting to what he was saying, not what he was doing at that point. Barack always has his hands in his face. I've noticed that about him.

I really don't want to see anymore of these posts.

Hell, it might get talked about on the news just because we are talking about it.

I feel like I live in 20th century USSR right about now.

[aquarius dawning]

12. It's called subtlety. But it wasn't so subtle that it wasn't obvious.

There's no denying it. Why bother trying?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. He must have done it in that subtle, French way.

After all, he does hate America.

:sarcasm:

[aquarius dawning]

25. "After all, he does hate America."---You said it, not me.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. You evidently missed my little "sarcasm" thingy.

But yeah, he probably picked up the secret flip-off in that madrassa he attended when he was a kid.

And here's the "sarcasm" thingy again, in case you missed it: :sarcasm:

[aquarius dawning]

29. You must have just fallen off of the turnip truck

if you've never seen the head scratch/bird flip combo played. Quit insulting people's intelligence.

[cliffordu]

41. I hate America too, then. Actually I just hate the bridge YOU live under...

[aquarius dawning]

60. how clever.

[Zachstar]

46. Geez man how old are you? Are you ok?

[gcomeau]

19. There's no denying it?

Was that sarcasm? (If so, my apologies for falling prey to the sarcasm deadening property of the interwebs)... Or do people actually use TWO fingers to flip people off on the planet you came from? And do it to people who aren't even in the room?

http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/i_video/main500251.shtml?id=4025010n

0:39 in.

[aquarius dawning]

24. Give me a fucking break. He flipped her off and the crowd picked up on it.

That's one of the oldest tricks in the book. As I said, it was subtle but not too subtle. You're just insulting people's intelligence by denying it like this.

[gcomeau]

27. Ok... I'm going with sarcasm.

Despite the lack of tags, nobody is actually that stupid. You had me going for a second there though, bravo! :)

[FrenchieCat]

28. Do you know how large that gathering was?

People wouldn't not have seen that and responded that quickly. Obama supporters are quick and smart, but not that quick and smart. Folks were responding to what he was saying.....plueaze, stop with the bullshit. This ain't no fucking russia.

Cheney can tell folks to go fuck themselves.....and shoot people in the face....

And a Black man can scratch his face, and the fucking PC police is all over him....after having questioned his patriotism the night before.

You need to quit.

[aquarius dawning]

31. and it was only a handful of the crowd that caught it.

I'm not being the PC police. I just recognize that BO wants to get ugly now after the debate. I don't blame him. His ass got kicked pretty good last night from what I saw. I'm sure he's a little bitter about that.

[FrenchieCat]

39. Will know who's ass got kicked soon enough......

but in a pile on three to one, that made it kind of hard for Barack, wouldn't you say?

What he is bitter about is the same thing that I am bitter about. Small minds.

[aquarius dawning]

52. Hillary has been ganged up on plenty. I think it was Barack's turn.

small minds you say? I would be curious to know just what that means to you.

[Zachstar]

Both Clinton and Obama got their asses handed to them last night.

Or did you forget Clinton admitting Obama can win against McCain?

You are grasping at straws and it is not going to work.

[aquarius dawning]

55. I'm not grasping at anything. It was too fucking obvious and I'm simply pointing it out.

You're the ones trying to pretend like it didn't happen. Give it up. he flipped her off.

[Zachstar]

66. No what is going on here in my view is you desperately want it to matter.

In my view You want the news to suddenly say "OH NOES HE FLIPPED HER OFF" In my view you want Clinton to run ads saying Obama is a thug. In my view you want this to harm Obama and drag this to the convention. In my view you want the superdelegates to overturn the pledged delegates.

You are grasping at straws in my view. It wont work and the evidence shows you are wrong.

So how about we start talking about issues. And leave this crap in the past.


Just be aware tho. After bittergate we are not going to just stand still why Obama is being Slandered or Libeled. We are going to call the crap and desperate attacks are going to be exposed.

[aquarius dawning]

72. Your view is skewed. I posted one comment. You started a fight over it.

and now it's my fault that this is some kind of a big deal? You're the one who has turned this into more than it needed to be. I was perfectly content to post my one comment and move on to the next thread but you chose to fight about it. Go away and quit fighting about it if you want to end this.

Just be aware tho. After bittergate we are not going to just stand still why Obama is being Slandered or Libeled. We are going to call the crap and desperate attacks are going to be exposed.

Bittergate was legit. He insulted rural folks first and then insulted their intelligence by trying weasle out of his comments with more of the "what I really meant was" crap.

[cliffordu]

74. More specious bullshit.

I think you might not be a democrat at all.

You sure don't sound like one.

they'll be gone soon enough.....

By this time next week, I'd bet.

:patriot:

[aquarius dawning]

73. did you just call me a shit head? And you were calling me the troll in this thread?

[cliffordu]

76. Actually, I was thinking of a stronger word....

When I address you, I do it directly. See other threads.

Do you get free coffee or do you have to buy it out of those machines??

Is the office well lit? Are there people there working the push polls on phones or are y'all by yourselves on the computers??

[NorthCarolina]

111. LOL - Nailed it n/t

[TLM]

32. Just curious.... how many finger do you extend when you flip someone off?

Because that looks like two fingers to me....

[aquarius dawning]

38. to be 100% honest, my pointer finger tends to extend along with my middle finger

to a certain degree. I have to consciously force myself to pull the pointer finger back but most of the time, it looks exactly like the picture of BO there in your post. That being said, If I was getting in someone's face up close and personal and giving them the finger, it would probably look a hell of a lot different than if I was pulling off the old "head scratch/bird flip combo" which, as anyone with any sense knows, is reserved those occasions when it would be inappropriate to get in someone's face and blatantly flip them the bird (at a political rally type affair for example) and, just to be clear, I have to really stretch my imagination to come up with a scenario that would cause me to get in someone's face and flip them, off. It's just not my way. Regardless of that, this is obviously the subtle form of the bird reserved for those aforementioned occasions and, I'm sorry, but several persons in the crowd caught it just fine. their response was as obvious as his gesture.

[gcomeau]

43. Their "obvious response"...

...was to Obama saying Clinton was in her element at the debate, after what he had just said was going on there. As was obvious to anyone who actually watched the video.

[Zachstar]

49. Are you a kid sir?

[aquarius dawning]

Or threaten it -

I would guess if you come around here and slander the candidates you cannot expect not to get your feelings hurt....

[aquarius dawning]

79. Oh look, someone's responding to me but I can't read their message because I'm ignoring them.

oh well.

[livingmadness]

62. There are none so blind as those who will not see

Perhaps it will help to make the photo BIGGER, since some here seem so determined to face reality

[Zachstar]

68. Again nothing wrong. Just desperate Clinton supporters trying to make a case out of nothing

Don't you wish that camera was JUST a bit more to the side so you can twist this even more eh?

Simple fact Obama did not give Clinton the bird. Saying anything otherwise is a defamatory statement unless you intend to prove it in court.

[livingmadness]

121. Friend - you've got the wrong idea

I posted the photo to PROVE he wasn't giving the bird. K?

[Zachstar]

47. And you sir are slandering him and the media networks.

[aquarius dawning]

56. No I'm not. It's written so that makes it libel.

and only if it isn't true. Since it's obviously true, it's neither.

[Zachstar]

61. Obviously true? There is no truth in it. Its a twist. Trying to drag serious politics into crap

And I have heard of the ole scratch and flip. It isn't done like that in the least bit. I have learned my share of High School tricks.

No you have stated a defamatory statement towards a candidate. You have no evidence outside of sillyness to prove he did such a thing. You can't prove it in court

Therefore anyone continuing to say he flipped the bird to anyone is putting out defamatory statements and it needs to stop.

[aquarius dawning]

80. shut up for Christ's sake.

[Teaser]

108. shorter aquarius dawning: there's no disagreeing with me

[Frank Booth]

13. Stephanopoulos better grill him about this!

Watch the rest of the liberal media just ignore it.

How can people fail to see that he hates our country. He won't wear a flag pin and he won't even flip people off in the real American way! :cry: :cry:

[Triana]

14. It's the secret Obama yo-momma 'we hate Hillary' hand signal!!

OMG!

:sarcasm:

[grace0418]

16. Maybe ABC can plan another debate where Obama spends the whole hour explaining

why he flipped Hillary off.

:eyes:

[TheDoorbellRang]

18. I believe that's how radical muslim christians flip people off

:rofl:

[Frank Booth]

22. Yes. I think he learned this in the madrassa.

This really shows how anti-Anerican he is.:crazy:

[Cha]

23. Obama's giving hilary the

Peace sign and taylor marsh just thinks he's flippin' 'er off.

[kenny blankenship]

30. It's patently obvious once you are initated into the clandestine Obama Code

Here he is at an earlier appearance passing nuclear secrets to Iran:

Oh, wonderful. Now they know how to make miniaturized neutron bombs.
(The hand gesture is a misdirection. The classified information is actually being reflected from his necktie off of his teeth.)

And this one, from the same speech given today, is either a signal to his Al-Qaeda minions to release the alien mindcontrol spores from transparent dirigibles circling above America, ensuring his election, or else it's a message to drink more Ovaltine, whichever is more sinister.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

33. ROFL!

[Zachstar]

50. OH NOES!!! NOT THE OVALTINE!!! NOOOOO!!!

[cliffordu]

69. NO!! Do NOT bring up the Ovaltine thing!!!!!1

[boppers]

34. He's flipping her off UK style!

It must be that furiner blood. :sarcasm:

[Danger Mouse]

36. The height of desparation...

the height of idiocy...
the end is near...for them...

[boppers]

44. Anatomy lesson, kids!!!

Without using your thumb, try to press your index finger to your palm, i.e. flip a bird.

It's not easy.

[onenote]

95. I must be quadruple jointed or something. I had no problem at all

[SemiCharmedQuark]

48. Also since the cheers began before he even had his fingers at his cheek,

he must have told the crowd beforehand his secret evil plan.

[Zachstar]

51. Evil!!!

96. us cultist communicate telepathically -- you didn't know that?

I sent you a mind message, why didn't you get it. Is your mind message answering machine off?

54. Oh! Fer sake

I saw a redneck once scratch his back with a toilet brush. I assumed it was a legitimate itch having noe idear it was sending the Tidy Bowl man a subliminal message?

I have to get with the program.

59. Birdie-gate, anyone?

[CreekDog]

64. how unamerican!

:eyes:

[Zachstar]

71. Ok everyone this matter needs to be closed. Evidence has shown he did not flip anyone off

If someone says otherwise they are spewing defamatory statements and just show the image to them.

Watch for people looking for camera angles that are more to the right. That is what they will focus on (Talking about Anti-Obama Blogs and forums on the net) If they do post the CBS video link.

This is a perfect example of why we need to stop playing the fucking gotcha game and focus on any issues we can at this point.

[Warren DeMontague]

81. That's how all us elitists do it.

Especially when we're in San Francisco, talking about how much we hate America as we order our lattes.

[zulchzulu]

86. OFMG!!! OBAMA GIVS HLLARYY THE FINNGER THSI IS HUGH11!!!

:boring:

[DemsUnited]

88. How about these pics.

Such a shocker!! Scratching face with two fingers! OMG!





I've had it with these stupid, manufactured distractions. Like Obama says, they're divisive and they're ruining our politics and our country.

Time for change.

[mckeown1128]

94. What is funny is that the comment section at Taylor Marsh's...

...site is going bezerk. They are OUTRAGED I tell you. It is sssooo funny reading their comments. They've already started a media campaign to get this in the news. Their list of course is filled with fox, hannity, rush, savage and the likes. They have "broken" down the video snub-gate style. The series of events and everything. It is so funny.

[cliffordu]

113. Why would you choose to come here and share this shit with DU??

[mckeown1128]

116. umm... cause the faux scandal is funny... and I often post

about Taylor Marsh because I can't stand her and I think she is bad for the party.


ohh.. and it is Talor Marsh who is pushing this POS scandal.

[IsItJustMe]

98. Yes, the Clintonites, Faux News Democrats, and Republicans are now going around the message boards

posting that this is the Muslim way of giving the bird.

:sarcasm:

[zulchzulu]

107. That podium was made in China! The microphone was made in Mexico!
