Wingnuts Have Proof Obama Wanted Applause At Weird Times In Tucson

[meegbear]

It has taken some time, but Gateway Pundit figured it out! We now know why those rowdy, unassociated college kids whooped and cheered every time they heard the words "University of Arizona" ("mourning"), at the memorial in Tucson last week: The president’s Jumbotron told them to applaud! It certainly couldn’t be that these wingnuts don’t understand the concept of closed captioning, right? Oh.

Yes, closed captioning. A revolutionary new technology.

If Obama had really wanted to get the crowd to cheer, obviously he would have spoken about our shared love of beer pong. And if he wanted to get political, he would have compared Democrats and Republicans to beer-pong partners fighting over how to re-rack the cups instead of trying to sink them. "And you know what happens when you bicker? China nails a bounce. And then it’s two cups."

If the wingnuts didn’t have those annoying college kids to focus on, they may have had to admit Obama’s speech was actually really good. Haha, nevermind. They would have just complained about that shaman guy. “America is COWBOYS, not INJINS.”

Sure, the White House should have probably held the event in a smaller location without a bunch of unassociated college students who pregamed "THE PRESIDENT IS HERE!" and cheered at weird times. But on the other hand, it’s hard to fight ignorance. (Congratulations on all the traffic you're getting, Gateway Pundit)

1. talk about paranoia

[proud2BlibKansan]

2. There were a couple DUers there.Maybe they can refute this.

[Brickbat]

12. What is there to refute? It's closed captioning.

[proud2BlibKansan]

13. The only proof I have seen is the picture in the OP.

And I have no idea if it is photoshopped.

I don't automatically believe everything I read or see on the internet.

Yes, I'd like to hear from someone who was actually there. Doesn't seem like an unreasonable request.

17. It's closed captioning for the hearing impaired

Places where the techs thought there would be applause

[proud2BlibKansan]

18. That makes sense

Thank you.

3. jesus h christ on a raft

idiots, every last one of them..

[Lint Head]

4. So these right wing pricks are now using tools for the hearing impaired

to spin their twisted lies.

[OHdem10]

5. This is so nutty on the part of the Right. Very simply, they the

Right are so darn frustrated that Obama did so well
they are doing everything they can to make the event
seem bas. In other words they cannot rip Obama apart
so they are trying to make his event seem terrible,
hoping the ill will rub off on Obama. It is the
same old "Destroy Obama--Make him a one=termer.""

To be so mean spirited about a Memorial Service is
so baffling I do not know what to think.

[monmouth]

8. Wait till when Cheney dies. They will be out of their minds at the

supposed disrespect shown to that cretin. They're really nutzo..

[Proud Liberal Dem]

6. I believe that they tried to use the same smear on the Wellstone memorial

n/t

[opihimoimoi]

7. Their negative tribalism is appalling and pathetic.....partisan politics at its worst

[NutmegYankee]

9. omfg - The righties are actually questioning if CC notes applause.

How can people be so fucking stupid? Does partisanship blind people that bad?
Every speech I have seen with CC noted when the audience applauded. This is pathetic...

[pintobean]

10. Gateway Pundit is an idiot.

Media Matters frequently beats him over the head with his own stupidity. He's also a freeper.

[semillama]

14. James Urbaniak has been fileting him on Twitter

who found this shocking image:

If anyone here is on Twitter, I highly recommend following him, really funny guy. Also the voice of Dr. Venture!

[Brickbat]

11. They said the same fucking thing about the closed captioning at the Wellstone memorial. What a

fucking joke they are.

[jwirr]

15. They are a bunch of idiots. When I watch closed captions it tells me

both the words and sounds that are happening. It does not tell me to applaud.

[Generic Other]

16. stop the stupid [applause] unplug the braindead [wild cheers]

throw their frontal lobes in a blender and pour them in ice cube trays.
