1. Another - with the President sandwiched between Hitler and Lenin.

:eyes:

[Feron]

27. So much snark, so little space....

This is a classic example of why a simpleton should never try to be clever.

[Greenpeach]

33. These people are all racists...

nothing more, nothing less. All the labels, socialism, fascism, gov't takeover, spending, all latched onto as smoke screen for hatred of "Blackman in the White House" If they're so concerned with the truth, why don't they just tell it? Put on the damn hoods and sheets and march with burning crosses as symbols!

[BR_Parkway]

35. I'm sure the irony of "In troubled times, the fearful and naive are always drawn

to charismatic radicals" by becoming a Glenn Beck disciple is completely lost on them.

What are you afraid of Teabagger?

[tosh]

40. Ha - you beat me to that one, BR.

"...the fearful and naive..." :eyes:

[Happyhippychick]

2. A teabagger holding a sign that says "stupid is a stupid does". Doesn't get any better.

[Hello_Kitty]

4. The sign says "stupidly is as stupidly does"

So it actually can get better! :rofl:

[Taverner]

5. Ned Flanders? Oh by diddly you know he'd be there!

[Kadie]

6. *snort*

:rofl:


I was posting so fast, I read it as 'stupid' also.

Stupidly!!!!

:rofl:

[Happyhippychick]

LOL! This has GOT to be a new avatar for DU!

[butterfly77]

20. I guess they would know..

with their stupid asses..

[TygrBright]

8. No, no, no... "StupidLY is as StupidLY Does!"

Which is hilarious on so many levels...

To be technically correct from a grammatical standpoint, the sign would have to read "Stupid is as stupidly does." This would be correct, but not terribly pithy or inspiring.

To be pithy and inspiring, the sign would read "Stupid is as stupid does," possibly with a pic of Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump, the popularly-attributed source of the quote-- or a pic of Sally Field as his Mom, the actual source of the quote.

To be utterly moranic and missing of the point, the sign would have to read "Stupidly is as stupidly does"....

....oh, wait.

Heheh.

Never mind.

quibblingly,
Bright

[Happyhippychick]

12. I totally missed that! It's even funnier than I originally thought!

[gauguin57]

14. I think they were referring to Obama's statement that the Harvard police acted "stupidly"

... in arresting Skip Gates.

Uh-oh. I'm starting to be able to translate freeper. I think I need to go back to bed.

[Kerrytravelers]

3. Where is my bailout?

Health Care Reform.

You're welcome.

Idiot.







Edited for spelling because I am not one of them, proudly spelling simple words incorrectly.

[sandnsea]

7. No kidding

They've gotten more help in the last 9 months than the last 8 years and are too damn dumb to see it.

One unemployed guy in MN said he has 4 kids and can't afford to help anybody else. Well no shit. That's why we extended unemployment benefits, increased food stamps, extended SCHIP, etc etc. To help him and his family.

These people are just too dumb for words.

[Kadie]

42. No more spending, but give me something.

:shrug:

[IDemo]

9. "Socia Lism"?

:shrug:

[Kadie]

13. I don't get it either.

:shrug:

[IDemo]

16. Perhaps a disdain for words with more than two syllables..

[Lars39]

17. The Hooked on Phonics version, maybe.

lol :D

[ShortnFiery]

These people are NOT intellectually curious when they mix "Socialism" and "Communism"

Talk about having it BOTH WAYS?

Didn't any of these clowns take a political science course?

I don't despise "the truly ignorant" ones by birth, but those INTELLIGENT right wingers that are sponsoring this event are just plain VILE excuses for humanity. Yes, I despise the intelligent Freepers because they know better but USE some of the working poor as their "useful idiots."

FreedomWorks ====> Big Brother fomenting right wing hysteria among the clueless.

[Joanne98]

10. LOSERS!

[treestar]

11. "out of control spending" eff them, they didn't mind it when it was

for Iraq and to kill people.

Jerks.

[ShortnFiery]

19. Yes, remember how fired-up and nationalistic the right wing of this country became

during the run up to the Iraqi Invasion. I know, as a former Army Soldier, that sometimes war is inevitable and I was proud to serve my country. But Iraq was not even condoned as "a just war" by the CONSERVATIVE Vatican in Rome.

Logic, Empathy and need for "the common good" for our Fellow Americans are concepts totally lost on the right wing of this Nation. It's just plain sad ... as a Nation, we could become so much better. But not as long as large CORPORATIONS are able to mislead fragile minded people into hysteria.

[treestar]

32. I have great hopes for the internet

To get people across the country talking to each other and to undermine the power of the media.

That it takes so much money to get elected is the big problem.

[Blue_In_AK]

15. Well, isn't that special?

[arcadian]

18. WTF? AP? "rally against the president's health care plan and out-of-control spending"

Funny I don't think AP ever described the antiwar protests as "rallies to end the Illegal Iraq and Afghanistan Wars and to hold the war criminal President accountable."

Making opinions about policy AP? For shame!

[ShortnFiery]

23. Face it, until the people TRULY HURT, our goverment and major corporations are ONE.

We are so screwed in the short term. However, I'll keep plugging away to elect progressive candidates THEN pray they keep their moral compass.

That's all we have left, but at least it's something: Continue to keep active in local politcs. :shrug:

[enid602]

21. play

They look kind of bored. Maybe they should have brought some toilet seats so they can play horseshoes.

[bluestateguy]

22. Do they think Shepard Smith supports all this nonsense?

I'm inclined to doubt it.

[ShortnFiery]

24. He's the most logical of the bunch, but periodically, especially re: nationalism

Shep can get a little viral case of "the right-wing crazies."

[Quantess]

26. No, I think the cowboy is in love.

[Critters2]

28. LOL! nt

[ShortnFiery]

31. ...

Well, and that ... :spray: :blush:

[S_E_Fudd]

25. Not exactly a rally of MENSA members is it?

With that much collective stupidity gravitating to one place we are likely to see a rip in the space time continuum!!

[ShortnFiery]

29. Not at all. There's pride to be had in NOT being a genius, but instead, only slightly

to the right of the fat portion of The Bell Curve ... That is, average to slightly-above average IQ individuals can AS EASILY become highly successful. Once a basic IQ is reached, it's motivation and maturity that kick-in to make the lion's share of the difference.

What the right wing lacks is not basic IQ, but that of intellectual curiosity. Most people with just a H.S. education can maintain their interest in current events and politics but it takes EFFORT.

I have no doubt that many of the working and middle class people attending that rally are, at least, of average intelligence, but EMOTIONALLY they've always wanted "an authoritarian daddy figure" to run the country.

Some personalities get "a charge" out of pleasing authority figures, no matter what the cost it may be to their fellow American.

Most of them don't even realize that they've sold their "independent thinking" to the American Enterprise Institute, et. al. who TELLS THEM who to HATE and what actions to do.

This so called rally is nothing more than Willful Ignorance on Parade ... sponsored by their beloved authoritarian DADDY figure - a corporate entity entitled "FreedomWorks."

[GoCubsGo]

30. OWWWWWW!!!!

The STUPID! It hurts!!!

[WillieW]

34. You guys don't get it. They want their (White) America back LOL

[shireen]

36. i'd like to know ...

how many of the out-of-town protestors had their trip financed by a right-wing organization? I find it hard to believe that those knuckle-draggers would actually travel to DC at their own expense. I've never seen so many mean bitter faces in one place.

[ShortnFiery]

38. FreedomWorks claims to have bussed in 30,000. Corporations helping the Average American?

:puke:

[WillieW]

41. Many are jobless and where paid $100 to attend. The bus trip was paid by the sponsors.

[CatWoman]

37. gee

they even bought the nanny with them

[otohara]

39. Red, White and

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:
