"Osama for Obama" t-shirt worn by Clinton supporter @ Clinton's election night party in Columbus

I have one that says "Witches for Hillary."

witches, sorry not Wiccan

use to attack obama. It's fucking disgusting.

It says this right at the top of the article.

A party crasher and he got what he wanted.

Obama supporter here - but an honest one - I have tracked these type of RW players before, and for many cycles.
Often the same ones show up again and again.

Many of the most ridiculous asses in both camps here on DU or elsewhere are all-to-clever "operatives" - this has long been a factor. We should always say "Hmm" rather than "Oh those X supporters are so...!!!"


High five for the sleuthing, fellow DUer.

As Molly Ivins might say, "Good on ya."

Chubbies with Thick Thighs for Hillary last week...

Yikes

I also have one I had made that says "I slept with Bill."

then you really don't believe in free speech. You believe in free speech for some and censorship for others. If it has said "Osama for McCain" would that have been OK?

censorship in the past few years when people wearing anti-Bush (or war) T-shirts were escorted out of Bush gatherings. I didn't agree with this censorship. And in the case of the "Osama for Obama" T-shirt, I hate the message, but the person has the right to wear it. My personal feeling is that the message is "wrong"- that the implication of Osama supporting Obama is ridiculous. Osama for McCain is also ridiculous.

I think I can believe something is wrong, and tolerate it because I believe in free speech. And I use the word "tolerate", not "support."

but there are some Osama for Hillary shirts on the market too. As a Hillary supporter, I think I am gonna have to have one just for fun. But, in my old age, I like pissing off people.

Left of Cool

but no link to examples is given. Same old tired excuse.

Not a Hillary supporter.

One can believe in free speech and still believe that some speech is wrong (unless you assume "wrong" means "should be illegal")

:eyes: Sounds more typical of a McCain supporter.

NGU.

NOT!

. . .so many of Hillary's supporters (NOT REPUBLICANS) have advanced this whole Obama is a Muslim meme. Its getting old.

then show us a picture of this supposed shirt

though, IMO this guy is a RW plant...

:puke:

NGU.

That makes me wonder if he was a Republican crashing Hillary's party. If not, he's only hurting his candidate wearing that shirt.

Recall that she is his press agent...." I have experience,McCain has experience and Sen.Obama had a Speech!"

That alone should have been grounds to throw her out of the Democratic Party!

Don't they have any rules for the candidates to follow, is there no decency?

now that this may be considered a way to win.

of nothing but the vileness of one bigot.

:shrug:

It's so outlandish it's hard to think otherwise.

have his last name spelled wrong but want to know facts before I say why.

JEWISH VOTERS THAT OBAMA IS A MUSLIM. HE WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF CUP O' JOE BUT SOLD IT. HE IS A BEXLEY OH RESIDENT.

Patriot Pastors

By: MARILYN H. KARFELD Senior Staff Reporter

Todd Appelbaum, a 44-year-old native Clevelander who has lived in Columbus for the past 25 years, attended the event along with a number of Republican government officials, including Blackwell. Former chairman of Columbus's chapter of American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), Appelbaum is now active in a Jewish-Christian coalition that works to support Israel and other issues.

Evangelicals are loving patriots

Appelbaum, who brought three Orthodox rabbis to the pastors' gathering, attended in order to meet Parsley and to develop deeper relationships between the Jewish community and conservative evangelicals.

"Our freedoms are threatened, our Judeo-Christian beliefs are threatened by radical Islam," Appelbaum says. "If western civilization is going to be saved from these evil forces, who don't share our values, it has to be done through Christianity. There are only 14 million Jews throughout the world. There are two billion Christians. They are the only ones who can stand up to radical Islam."

This looks like he went there to keep us shredding each other.
I think your discovery of who he is and what he's about deserves its own post.

Deserves its own thread

I was baptized, but I hated church, and probably lacked the understanding to know what the hell was going on. Does that mean I was a Christian?

. . .as far as I know.

so-called "Christian" brouhaha was about. (And I would have escaped into agnosticism had I been born Muslim or Jewish, far as that goes.)

Or hanged from the highest tree.

Either way, such a person does not belong in the Democratic Party.

Ok, maybe not killed. But he certainly doesn't represent our party.

An example of HRC's scorched-earth strategy? If she can't have the nomination, she'd rather see it go to McCain? It makes me wanna :puke:

Though they will want to win at any cost, this is something that's out there in the rural parts of the country and many southern Christian areas.

:shrug:

believe the crap in the smear e-mails. I think we would be shocked at the number which believe it.

Okay pal, you hateses teh Muslims. Now, fuck off.

For the record, did Obama say that he was never a Muslim?

Not that there's anything wrong with being raised as a Muslim, or having a Muslim parent.

well?

wow, enjoy your nominee.

decided last night I will vote in the general, I will vote dem down the ballot except for president if she is the nominee. will leave that blank.

and before you get all stressed, I'm in NY so she'll win here without me and I can still sleep at night.

Any asshole wearing a shirt like that into a Hillary gathering is doing so INTENTIONALLY to get the cameras of the MSM on him -- which they will certainly oblige him, because it gives them an opportunity to create a mini-gotcha moment and make Hillary look intolerant by 'association.'

Nobody who truly wants Hillary to win would attempt to injure her campaign that way. I bet you that nearly every Hillary supporter in that room thought the guy was a jerk who didn't belong there.

Ergo, I conclude this bigot to also be a liar -- someone who is NOT associated with the HRC campaign and someone who is probably not a real HRC supporter.

He might work for McCain, who actually benefits from this kind of crap.

Or he might work for Obama, who benefits even more.

and could have asked him to wear and HRC shirt that I am sure they had on hand.

I support Hillary, and I think the message on the T-shirt is wrong.

I see in your post below that you will not vote for her in the GE. It makes me sad that you feel that way, but your candidate will likely be the nominee. :hi:

See modmom's posts upthread. His name is actually Todd Appelbaum.

Come on. Republicans pull this ALL. THE. TIME.

A lot of the worst supposed intra-party nastiness isn't coming from inside this party, at all.

Around here, too.

It's time to give Hillberman a taste of her own medicine.

Geez! He's been IDENTIFIED! By NAME! There are news stories about him and who he is! HE IS A REPUBLICAN!

typical in the Hillary Campaign..

after all these years.

The Democratic Party may end up losing their support from the black
community and from anyone who isn't racist.

The GE is going to get really nasty.

no matter who is at the top of the ticket over here.

Hopefully he didn't actually possess a voter's registration card.

and I don't want to hear people equating this with the class factor here on DU GDP, fucking both sides are guilty.

see post above.

Do us a favor and edit your post to reflect the facts. Thanks.

Hillary isn't responsible for that moron nor is Obama responsible for some of his juvenile supporters on this forum.

Thankfully we live in a country where such a t-shirt wouldn't get you beheaded.
