Ok, even I, 'Right-of-Left-Center' have to say...

... that the photograph Drudge has been running of BHO with the hyper-linked tag line: "Gallup: New Low for O" is a pretty devious move.

Look at it: at first glance, the microphones before him make it appear that he's wearing a bow tie, the signature fashion accessory worn by members of the Nation of Islam, which of course, is also tied to Chicago, Illinois.

When you add the raised finger and capture him wearing the righteous expression of a mosaic holler, it truly portrays him as a Louis Farrakhan wannabe.

I would be willing to place a small wager that, after this picture was posted, a higher percentage of respondents would poll that, yes, Barack Obama is an adherent to the Nation of Islam and is therefore, limited as President to the United States (I won't say POTUS, because it sounds like a Latin vulgarism for 'vagina') because his primary interest is to advance the cause of black people, rather than to defend the nation.

I've noticed that several of other photographs that have been published that were similar, in terms of posture, expression, ect., but this is about as blatant as I've seen, without overtly using Photoshop.

2. I read here earlier today that Drudge's site is toxic

Something about ad on the site sending malware out to viewers.

So, no thanks.

Why?

6. +1, and I'll add, who cares what's on that site anyway? nt

4. Drudge is more of a sexist than anything else. He seems to hate women.

He treated Hillary like shit in the Primaries.

Now he's going after Nancy Pelosi (and he has been ever since we won the Presidency).


He's bad towards Barack too, but he saves his most potent venom for women.

5. isn't Drudge a self-hating closeted gay man?

no wonder he's so fucked up.

7. POTUS actually stands for "President *OF* the United States" (not "to" the United States)

I'm not normally the grammar nazi type, it's just that in my opinion, there is a vast difference in meaning between the two phrases

also, Welcome to DU! :toast: :hi:

8. interesting, but do you have a link?

Thanks.

9. 'Right of left of center'? Is that center?

What does that even mean?

As for Drudge- he is a rw hater and his site is meaningless.

10. Drudge? Meh, he is sooo yesterday's news....

notice he isn't even on the rabid right's media shows he's so irrelevant.
