PHOTO Will this pic cause mass hysteria too?

[Jackeens]

Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, left, shakes hands with U.S. President Barack Obama during a dinner at the G8 summit in L'Aquila, Italy on Thursday, July 9, 2009.

:shrug: Don't know. On a scale of 0 to 10 how do Freepers feel about Gaddafi these days?

[That Is Quite Enough]

1. Yes. Some people will freak out over Obama pics no matter what, but we already knew that.

*Just realized that was probably a rhetorical question*

[David__77]

2. No. Qaddhafi was warmly embraced by Bush.

Winning over Libya was a big diplomatic move and it isn't a pariah these days.

[Jackeens]

3. Oh. Okay. Thanks.

[BlooInBloo]

5. Soooo 'yes', because they're hypocrites.

[Jackeens]

8. LOL, Freeper heads exploding already....well, the first three to post any way.

If your stomach is strong enough:

25. You know that caption of that girls butt we have. Apparently it's on Drudge.

ala the Rethug talking heads at that link you gave, I believe it's post # 5.

[LynneSin]

37. These are freepers. They have the attention span of gnats on ritalin

they won't remember that at all.

[MercutioATC]

4. "Obama embraces a transvestite"

No, it's not an "embrace" and Gaddafi isn't really wearing a dress, but I'll bet that's posted on FR.

[Clio the Leo]

6. ah but fear not, there was no shoulder grabbing. lol NT

[David__77]

7. Ha! The infamous neck rub!

I haven't thought about that in some time. Makes me laugh...

[vaberella]

24. Heh. Oh guess what...I passed my Driving exam.

Although my instructor said I drove way too slow.

Sorry for sort of highjacking---Jackeens.

[Clio the Leo]

27. Yay! Now .... hurry up and put an Obama '12 bumper sticker on the back of that car!

If that doesn't make you want to drive around town, I dont know what will! lol

[vaberella]

28. Wicked plan...will do. Actually, I'll purchase an Obama bobble head.

He's the best---I'll rub him for good luck before I drive.

[Clio the Leo]

29. Well, I just hope Tweety doesn't get jealous. NT

[vaberella]

30. I had a horrible revoltingly lascivious and perverse response to that statement.

So I won't respond. :D

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

9. No, because Gaddafi isn't wearing his uniform and elaborate

military hat. The freeps won't know who it is.

[rasputin1952]

12. Pretty snazzy get-up though...

i'd check the drapes in the local library to see if they're still there...;)

[TahitiNut]

14. I'm thinking he went through an upholstery sampler ... a gawdawful mix of patterns.

:shrug:

[Flying Dream Blues]

22. Methinks he doesn't fit into that tight little uni anymore. ;) nt

[rasputin1952]

10. The president could shake hands w/Jesus Christ and the Wingnuts

would go ballistic. They seem to forget that bush & cheney appeared to be sexed up by satan...but the current president is somehow, "evil".

BTW, Ghaddafi looks like crap, bet he's near death's door...:hi:

[rateyes]

11. Wonder if the freeps got all hot and bothered about this pic:

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

13. They'll try to start shit when a young girl "dares" to sport a peace shirt. What do you think? nt

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

15. Not only that they'll shit when Gaddafi takes off the mask to reveal it's actually

Raul Castro!!!!!!

[Chipper Chat]

16. I fondly remember Johnny Carson on his show saying to Ed & guests:

"what mother would name her kid Mooimar?"

[Thrill]

17. Yes. You know it

[Jackeens]

18. I do now! See post 8

[Robb]

19. ...

[Are_grits_groceries]

20. It might send

fashion designers into rolling fits. Looks a twee bit busy to me.

[Occam Bandage]

21. OMG! Gaddafi's bowing in the first picture!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

23. Tony Blair and Gaddafi no one worried about that?

[dysfunctional press]

26. not as much as this one will...

[OneBlueSky]

31. anybody catch Andrea Pelosi's "Right America: Feeling Wronged -- . . .

Some Voices from the Campaign Trail" on HBO a couple nights back? . . . the only conclusion I could draw from it was that the number of really stupid people inhabiting this country far exceeds even my worst fears . . .

not only didn't these people know anything about Obama, the nation, or the world, they actually believed that THEY were the ones who were well informed and supporting THEIR country against the Muslim imposter . . . they ranted about socialism, but when asked to explain what it was, were at a loss . . . they bemoaned the dire state of the economy and their 401Ks, seemingly blaming the yet-to-be-elected Barack Obama and his cohorts in Washington rather than the real culprits -- their own party and its corporate overlords who have looted the nation and its treasury for at least the past eight years . . .

these are the folks who will go batshit over this photo, seeing in it yet more proof that Obama is working for a worldwide Muslim conspiracy to steal our country away from us good, God-fearing, flag-loving, ribbon-wearing, arms-toting Americans . . . someone should clue them in that the theft has already been accomplished -- and it sure as hell hasn't been by the left-wing "socialists" they seem to fear so much . . .

32. Only if he was looking at Qadaffi's ass.

[DesertRat]

33. Will people make cracks about his garment

like they do the Pope? :shrug:

[jberryhill]

34. Garment?

Is that what that is?

I thought maybe the curtains had fallen.

[depakid]

35. Damn, Gaddafi's gotten fat!

[LynneSin]

36. Didn't Bush rave about how Libya had turned in some of it's Mustard Gas a few years back

Just saying.

But I do remember bush pointedly mentioning Qaddafi had done that.
