Breaking: Poop-gate debunked.
The major Clinton supporter driven Obama scandal of the day has been poop-gate. Some dipsh%t cop accused the Obama campaign of setting up porta potties on/near a fallen cop memorial, during Obama's 75,000 person rally. The cop of course didn't notify the Obama campaign at the time... he was too busy taking pictures to send to the press.

Thanks to the time spent by one of our own... it has now been debunked:

Dr_eldritch

I just got off the phone with the Portland parks department...
"Darren" said that the Parks Department provides the space, and the port-o-john company that you contract is responsible for placement.


http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=6154597&mesg_id=6158236



Now... I officially place poop-gate in the "OFFICIAL STUPID-GATES BOX"

Where it will no join it's cousins "Snub-gate", "Pickle-gate", "Obama-scratched-an-itch-gate", "57states-gate", and of course the ever loved "Sweetie-gate" along with many, many others.

Portland Police Officer: Obama campaign dishonored police memorial.
Just being reported on the evening news locally.

Officer Thomas Brennan, Portland Police Department, has complained to the Obama campaign that on the occasion of the rally at the Portland waterfront, porta-potties were placed by organizers in the middle of the Police Department's permanent memorial to fallen officers at the waterfront park. Flags were at half staff at the memorial from a service held for a fallen officer. The porta-potties were placed smack dab in the center of the memorial area. Brennan considered this immensely disrespectful. He sent photos to the campaign and has not received a response.

But, it was locked for flamebaitiness.

38. Pickle gate was the scandal that Clinton supporters...
tried to push in regards to Walmart..

For example

Obama supporter: Here's a Walmart board video of Hillary sitting silent while the other board members brag about keeping workers from forming unions. Why didn't she stand up for unions when she had the chance?

Hillary supporter: That was back when Walmart was respected.

Obama supporter: But I have a video of it.

Hillary supporter: Well, Michelle Obama was on the board of Treehouse.

Obama supporter: So what.

Hillary supporter: They sell pickles to Walmart.

Obama supporter: So what?! Vendors are also victims of Walmarts business policies.

Hillary supporter: But Treehouse makes money from their interaction with Walmart...and some of that money goes to MO.

Obama supporter: So what? does that have to do with Hillary not standing up for workers?

Hillary supporter: Obama is the one that this scandal is about. He didn't have his wife take a stand against walmart... and Hillary was working for Walmart when they were respected...blah blah blah.

Obama supporter: Video EVIDENCE.

Hillary supporter: Uh... DU is horrible ever since it has been taken over by you misogynists.

26. So Obama's campaign didn't manage the event properly
otherwise they would have paid attention to where their contractor placed the portable toilets. Its called MBWA - management by walking around. Perhaps if they had paid as much attention to the police memorial as they did to the background and sound system for Obama's speech....

Sorry, this is not a good excuse.

59. Desperado...
why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, before it's too late
