I just want to see if this gets the same high fives from the Obama supporters laughing it up over the pantsuit video.

yuck it up, obama fans!


Not so funny now, eh?

Similar, i suppose if you feel that sort of thing is effective go ahead it only comes back on Hillary. The fact is probably the rest of the candidates for president from now on are going to have experimented with drugs, so its for the best that we have a president that is honest about the dangers and what not. Thats real life babe. Sorry if you want a denier go to the Big DOg or Chimpy.

You apparently don't realize that this is SATIRE. Go on, watch it again. All the way to the end.

I didnt say I believed it was real just what it reminded me of, damn you are like the president you read what you want to read.

Those kids are ACTORS.

ACTORS.

You didn't get it at all. Nice try at a backflip, too bad you fell on your ass!

You really don't understand satire, do you? They're making fun of the whisper campaigns by others (i.e. human garbage like Bill Shaheen).

As an Obama supporter, I thought it was hilarious.

...I would be curious as to who taught the kids to do the snorting thing...probably the same adult who wrote the copy. Sad...and more than a little bit sick.

I watched a few of the 'commercials' that they made and I couldn't help but wonder what kind of parents would put their kids out there like that. Disturbing!

And the ones who "pageant" and "American Idol".

See how some satire just isn't "funny" when it is directed at your favorite?

...do you really think such an add would not be used by Republicans? Would they have to change a thing about it? Clever barb of satire maybe...but no less effective to some people.

It's PARODY. And it's FUNNY. ANYONE could have written and produced this. It's a JOKE.


Those children are ACTORS.

If the GOP is going to use SWIFT KIDS FOR TRUTH, that will be worth seeing. Because it is both ABSURD and funny as hell.

Ouch, ouch, ouch....your OX is getting gored. Your candidate's weak spot is being prodded. Of course, I didn't see you piping up when all those Free Republic Bosnia sniper fire pics were cut and pasted over here. Or the unkind pictures of Senator Clinton in other situations.

Nope, didn't see you WARNING in DIRE TONES what the consequences might be for those bits of amusement? Because...oh, they were FUNNY to you, weren't they?

How does that shoe FEEL on the other foot? Pinch a bit?

Spare me your "concern." And it's AD, not ADD. ADD is what you do when you combine two and two to make four. And when I add it all up, I see Obama supporters here either NOT getting it, and whining that parody aimed at their preferred candidate is NOT ALLOWED. And that adds up to a deadly mix of cluelessness and hypocrisy.

Here's a better one:

It doesn't establish anything more about culpability than some kind of cover-up though. If he was murdered, it wouldn't necessarily have to have been the Clintons who had it done.

But, you knew that, right?



Can someone point me to the pants suit video?

and as far as I am concerned, I give Kudos to Obama for being honest about it... Do you realize how many Americans go to work high or hungover? We are a country of recreational drugs, be it alcohol or pot or prescription drugs....

They think it's funny, but we know it's not!

The outraged comments in another thread were even funnier: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5809215

because so many pouters can't tell parody from a real Swiftboat ad!

More like BULLSHIT-MOM.

Cute.

What a fun trip we will have dropping over the cliff together.

The Obama supporters outnumber the Clinton ones--most of whom have left, in absolute disgust over the vicious bullying the Big O team thinks serves as "debate"--ten to fucking one.

It's the Obama supporters who have engaged in sleazy "web" practices, because they are all so "internets-savvy" to include that crappy hoax stunt by that Jamal Boone idiot, and it's the Obama supporters who regularly LOWER the level of discourse with their snarky ignorant bullshit remarks, their "RAPID RESPONSE YOU'RE ON IGNORE!!!" here any time the debate causes cognitive dissonance and their moronic beliefs are challenged, and their photoshopped Clinton pics they've COPIED straight from Free Republic. They're also the ones who come up with a thousand names for Senator Clinton, Hillaryous, Hitlery, that Bitch, the C word--I've seen it all. But if anyone calls Obama by his childhood name it's a fucking federal case.

So don't tell me we're in the same cart, boo hoo, especially when YOU guys are the bastards holding the reins and driving all over the goddamned road like, dare I say, coked up drunks.

This is FUNNY. Ha ha ha. And it's OBVIOUS to anyone who isn't functionally retarded that it is a PARODY, a JOKE.

But then, it's not the Clinton ox getting gored this time, so "No Hijinx Allowed" eh?

Spare me. When I see you protesting the shitty treatment of Clinton here with the same high and mighty tone, I'll take your admonitions a bit more seriously.

It's time, all right--it's time to realize that the ones driving the cart here, Team Obama, are the ones taking us over the cliff.

"Satire should like a polished razor keen, wound with a touch that's scarcely felt or seen"

I don't think this video is "funny" at all. Neither did i think the Clinton video was funny. They're both a pretty low form of humor.

Calling people "functionally retarded" is way outta line.

And why are you goring so many oxen?



You tend to smear with the broadest of brushes MAD, it's a quality that will not win people over to your point of view. Please take some cues from Bigtree and support your candidate without the invective and vitriol... maybe then we'll respect what you have to say.

:shrug:

And if you're looking for elevated discourse of which Wilde would approve, this ain't the place.

I didn't direct that 'functionally retarded' label, which, BTW, is a medical term*, at any indivual. I said that the parody was obvious to anyone who wasn't. And it is, if people would simply LOOK at the material put out by that group. They pick on everyone. The children are ACTORS. They don't have a political agenda, their agenda is HUMOR. In fact, anyone who wants to 'dig deep' on what they do would see that their humor actually decries the bullshit techniques used by campaigns and their supporters during the political season. But hey, that takes a second or two of thought to digest. And way too many people here, apparently, are incapable of that.

I'm not interested in "winning people over." Really. I'm a bit sick of the one-sidedness on this forum, though, and I WILL point it out, regardless of any high-horse scolding you might want to mete out. You don't seem to get that I don't, and won't, use vitriol against Senator Obama. I'll take apart his ideas, but I won't stoop to the bullshit name calling and personal insults that Senator Clinton receives here incessantly from uninformed buffoons.




*See the term in use, here: http://jpa.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/4/1/13

the children may be actors, but SOMEONE wrote the "script".

i'm sick of the utter and complete BULLSHIT flung from BOTH sides... and as far as i'm concerned, in the past few months you've been one of the major offenders.

As for "functionally retarded" being a medical term, well, the medical profession for a long time thought Homosexuality was a Mental Condition. Ask the parent of any Developmentally Disabled person which term they prefer.

Believing you're justified in doing something nasty just because someone else has is CHILDISH and IMMATURE.


Either way, i offer Good Luck to you and your candidate.

I correct the record, and give it back roundly even when vastly outnumbered, when people fling sexist, racist, ageist shit at Clinton, post dispicable pictures, and make false assertions. Why should people who support Clinton, even though a minority here, be obliged to be perpetual martyrs to vicious bullies, just to prevent a few from being upset by the back and forth?

And I make no apologies for that.

I too wish the shit would stop. I don't light it off.

In the interim, the Hide Thread option is great if it gets to be too much.

My remark about the medical term still stands. There are many reasons for developmental disability or 'delay' and mental illness is just one of many possible reasons. Hemiplegia, injury, disease and other issues can also cause the condition. The cite was provided purely as an example, not to suggest that it was the prime definer of the condition. And it still has currency as a very clear and concise medical descriptor, which is how it was intended--not as a schoolyard taunt.

And again, no one is forcing ANYONE to wear a shoe that doesn't fit.

No matter how this turns out, our candidates will be fine. Good luck to you, too.

we see different things when we visit here. I often see Clinton supporters making snarky remarks without attribution WHENEVER there is a positive Obama thread that doesn't dis Clinton. I don't often visit the threads that are pro-Clinton cheerfests so i don't tend to see Obama supporters being as irrational or rude as Clinton supporters.

I also tend to think that if you were opposed to the "bitter" remark or the "for the first time i am REALLY proud of America" remark, then you too must have opinions about the CHOICE of wording and how it may rankle people. Staunchly defending your language when it's clear that i (and a goodly amount of others i know) would find it offensive (in a non-political candidate way), is tantamount to saying your opinion matters but mine doesn't. Which is an attitude i see all too often among Clinton supporters.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but this post and your comments have made me want to exit DU until someone wins the nom.

I had oral surgery today and the Vicadin's kicking in... i'll go before i get even more incoherent.

Peace to you.

you aren't hearing what I am saying.

Your opinion matters...as much as MINE does. Not more, not less.

This is a discussion forum. We air ideas and OPINIONS here. It's not an AMEN chorus.

Try looking at the board with a new eye after the painkillers wear off. Every time you see Clinton, substitute Obama, and every time you see Obama, substitute Clinton.

It's funny how where you stand depends on where you sit.

Y'know, the one's who didn't get that the following video (from the same source as the video in this thread) was a parody:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5809215

You really should apologize to your fellow HRC DUers.

Anyone, no matter who they support, who can't figure out what that cadre of humorists is all about needs a major reality check.

I don't apologize for pointing out that way too many people get their balls in an uproar...over NOTHING. See, I'm an equal-opportunity critiquer.

I fully agree that too many DUers have lost all sense of perspective. And that covers some HRC supporters and some Obama supporters.

Parody???

It's actually quite funny. Even funnier when Hill Fans think it's real!!!

with his *ick in a goat somewhere. Maybe a threesome with Jeffy and the shrub. There will be no shortage of low life politics in the GE no matter who the candidate is.

:spray:

Yeah. It's still satire.

...the electorate can turn around and laugh about this. You get it...I get it...but does everybody with a vote get it?

Only if you're an idiot. I don't know many kids running a 527.

Outpatient procedure, apparently, and they give you Kool Aid in post-op!!!

What horrible parents they must have.

The parents should not have allowed their kids' participation.

And when they were done, they got their little checks!

:rofl:

for kids who lives were fucked up by being child actors.

is falling!

Even WOLF and Jeannie from CNN found them amusing. And they don't seem "fucked up" to me at all--they repeat their lines, they take their checks.

You need to toughen up, the whining really demonstrates a profoundly thin skin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oQD_9iObfM&feature=related

Its sad no matter who its directed at. I'm sorry your political tunnel vision has blinded you to that.

Those kids are charming. You're the humorless one with issues.

Hypocrits DAMAGE their own children for political gain.

:rofl:

Man, this is hysterical. Like shooting fish in a barrel.

And yes, it's every bit as funny as the Pantsuits video.

You know what people like about Obama? It's his honesty. None of that slick "I didn't inhale" nonesense. He owned up to trying drugs as a youth and says it was a stupid thing to do.

He agrees with those kids so I don't see why you think Obama supporters would be outraged :shrug:

That video is hilarious. So's this one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpBzQI_7ez8

Hillary still wears pants suits.

Something that obviously escaped your notice.

As are all the other 236.com stuff.

Kind of typical of Hillsnbill supporters to

Miss The Funny Bit!

dark. I hate to tell you, it is TEAM B. OBAMA that is whining here--not the "HillsnBill" supporters. They're the ones laughing their asses off.

It's not like these funny little actors with their funny little videos on a satire website haven't been PROFILED on a major cable news network:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oQD_9iObfM&feature=related

So, mind how you go, Pilgrim.

:toast:

pant suit one, either. The guy is an equal opportunity spoofer.

And they won't have to change a thing in the script.

But wow. You seem to be outraged over the pantsuit video.

Lighten up, Francis.

:crazy:

those kids are very cute.

But then I like 23-6.

have run.

bwaaahahahahahahaha

If I could buy a sense of humor for you Hillary fans, I would.

Sadly, it is impossible.

I recommended it on Youtube.

...on something worthwhile instead of replying to your bullshit filled OP:

Here is an English cut rep striped tie:



How is it different than an American cut striped tie?

:rofl:
