Phyllis Schlafly: Obama is using closed captioning to order people to applaud him

[ck4829]

Yesterday, Phyllis Schlafly appeared on right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' radio program and managed to actually outdo the host as she railed against the environmental movement as full of Leftists and Communists who are out to control the world while attacking President Obama as authoritarian socialist who is an enemy of all "real Americans" ... and even worked in a claim that the White House had inserted "applause" commands into his speech during the Tucson memorial service, calling it "so tacky you can hardly believe it" and proof that Obama is "a fake".

Now, I might be wrong here, so just stick with me...

Dude: "Blah, blah, blah."
Closed captioning: "Blah, blah, blah."
*Crowd applauds*
Closed captioning: "Applause"

That is how closed captioning works, right?

3. Wait'll she finds out that those ultra-busy CC fingers were typing

"lunkhead" whenever GWB sppeared! (Oops--cat's outta the bag)/

[zbdent]

7. weren't there, like, mass suicides of CC typists

whenever they heard that W was going to make a speech?

[luvspeas]

4. d-uh, doy, erm erm erm!,...

this is without a doubt the STUPIDEST thing I've seen all day. And I saw the Enquirer story that says Obama is so skinny because he has a stomach parasite!

[May Hamm]

9. One of them African parasites no doubt

The headline I saw was the stress of hiding his real birth place is the reason for his weight loss.

5. Obama is attempting to control my mind by using proper grammar .........

:crazy:

[JuniperLea]

6. I wonder if she is aware that spontaneous applause...

Has broken out at other, private memorials to the fallen in this massacre... which is awesome if you ask me.

[Itchinjim]

8. Phyllis Schlafly? How old is that crone? 124?

I thought the dried up old bag kicked the bucket years ago.

[niyad]

26. please do not insult crones by including that vicious cretin in their number

[Systematic Chaos]

10. I wonder what that uptight blowhard would have done had she seen this??

[chat_noir]

11. #applausegate

Making fun of:

@HeyTammyBruce

@GatewayPundit

@EdMorrissey

12. Those are mind-control rays, Phyllis.

Applause signs are so like, 60s.

[hlthe2b]

13. I'd like to think the "STOOOPID" would die out with her ....

when she goes to meet whoever she thinks is there to congratulate her on her lifetime of insane blathering, bigotry, and hate.

Yes, of course. THE people doing the CC simply insert applause for when the audience begins to clap and other descriptions when other non-word sounds are intentionally made.

But, that would probably be too optimistic...

[StarsInHerHair]

14. Righties are hypocrites

plain and simple.

[StarsInHerHair]

15. gop hates deaf people too, they hate all 'others'

[LostInAnomie]

16. This is seriously one of the dumbest avenues of attack I've come across.

Why don't they just ask the Republican lawmakers in the crowd if there were applause signs?

[Demeter]

17. Isn't Phyllis Dead Yet?

oh, I forgot...vampires don't die.

[shireen]

18. i thought he used mind control?

:P

[madrchsod]

19. she has to be a billion years old now.....

[opihimoimoi]

20. GOP Drama Lady returns from TUVA where she is undergoing treatment for advanced

loss of Reason and Logic...

[PufPuf23]

21. To even read the name Phyllis Schafly is so non-relevant I laughed out loud.

I cannot conceive of a reality where this matters or would be in a fair and sane media.

Ooops I am out of touch with reality. ;o)

[spanone]

22. insanity rules the right

[Arkana]

23. Phyllis Schlafly is long past senile.

[boobooday]

24. Sigh.

And did you notice Michelle wearing a RED DRESS?

OMG!

It means something! Or it will by tomorrow.

[Lint Head]

25. The idiocy is breath taking.

[niyad]

27. my favourite encounter with the "sweetheart of the silent majority" (would that she actually were

silent)

during the fight to ratify the ERA, she was invited to our college to debate betty friedan (wish I had a video of that little encounter)

later that night, as she responded to questions from the audience, (and, having listened to her lying about how the ERA would force women into combat), I asked her, "so, phyllis, if it is so awful for our daughters to go to war, why is it so wonderful for our sons?"

big surprise, she had no answer.

amazing she is still drawing breath.

[Stevenmarc]

28. Poor Phyllis she's obviously suffering from years of Aqua-Net exposure.

[Zoeisright]

29. Isn't that shriveled old bag gone yet?

I mean, how old is she, 118? She sure looks like she was exhumed.
