6. sorry...it's in protest of how ugly her campaign has been.
ignore me if you must, when HRC is a fair campaigner this goes, or when there is a nominee.

Edited on Sun Apr-27-08 07:14 PM by berni_mccoy
"Hillary's hitting it out of the park" or "Grand-slam for Hillary"

But no. Gotta go right for the subtly racist attack.

7. Racist?
I use the term "upside the head" all the time and I'm a pretty pasty white. Maybe it's a regional thing but I hear it all the time without racist overtones or meaning.

9. The picture the OP is bringing to mind is this:
A white woman hitting a black man upside the head. Reverse the imagry and put a baseball bat in Obama's hand and put the same title on the post. What would the readers be left with?

13. It says nothing about hitting a specific person
in fact, so far the responses have named Bill as the recipient of the whack upside the head.

It's a funny photo -- no need to read more into it than is there.

him.

http://notlarrysabato.typepad.com/doh/2006/09/george_allens_b.html

George Allen and PV High I went to Palos Verdes High School with George Allen. Ask him about the JJR (the Jesse James Revival) his un-official club where he claimed they beat up N's on Saturday nights. He kept a Dodger bat in his car with words "Nigger Knocker" written on it.

52. Or Lester Maddox's "Pickrick Flyswatter"
axe handles used by Maddox and his regular white customers/goonsquad to chase blacks out of his Atlanta cafeteria. Lester parlayed that lumber into political office too, becoming Georgia's governor in 1966.

21. Indiana jumps the gun, installs Monarch
Edited on Sun Apr-27-08 07:45 PM by leaningprog
Indiana, unsure of the outcome but wanting to leave it's
mark on the realm while it is in the spotlight, hosted
an ad hoc Coronation in a ballpark, the images of her
Royal Highness, holding aloft the Royal Scepter flashed
around the globe. The Queen rushed off with a tee-ball
tee and Knighted Sir Clinton, Sir Lanny, and Sir Ickes
after they pledged Internet donations for her Coronation
Ball. A replacement for Court Jester to take Sir Clinton's
present duties, is being sought post haste.

Guam, who intended to surprise her with the ceremony,
is reported to be crushed and despondent.

God Save the Queen!

35. batting for the pitcher?
according to George Will: As befits a guy who probably showers in a coat and bow tie, Will initially opposed the DH, loftily harrumphing in the early 1980s that the rule was "America's worst mistake since electing President Buchanan" and "partly to blame for the federal deficit." (I quote from Will's 1998 collection of baseball essays, Bunts.) By 1986, however, he'd changed his tune. Noting that "fidelity to conservative philosophy occasionally requires minor course corrections," Will conceded that "perhaps the DH serves conservative values," one of which apparently is that "only serious batters shall bat." (That pretty much leaves out pitchers as a class.) Lest one wonder if Will was about to admit that socialism has its points too, the columnist also declared that the whole business was giving him a migraine.

59. That's why the door people have them for sure
but Obama thinks Clinton is already winning:

<<And when you look at the polling that’s now being done, post Pennsylvania, about how we match up in a general election, I think Senator Clinton does a couple points better than I do. But it’s not substantial. Most of those voters will vote for me.>>
