Let me the FIRST to condemn any Obama supporter or Democrat who is wearing "C" word t-shirts. . .

. . .to attack Palin.

McCain spokesperson, Nicole Wallace, on MORNING JOE this morning alleged that folks are wearing "C" word (C U NEXT TUESDAY is what she said) t-shirts to Obama rallies attacking Palin. Not sure if this is true but if it is I condemn it as I am sure the Obama campaign does.

The distinction I will make however is is there anything in the Obama rhetoric that encourages folks to allegedly wear those shirts?

87. What BS. Why are we giving ANY play here to what Nicole Wallace says without PROOF?

Edited on Wed Oct-15-08 12:35 PM by ClarkUSA

She's a lying piece of Republican shit.

Who's up next for quoting for attribution, Tucker Bounds? :wtf:

17. You forgot to say "concern duly noted". The thought police always have to say that first.

It's like the Miranda warning for all liberal thought-copping.

...who takes a McCain spokesperson seriously, especially at this last, desperate stage of the election.

If these shirts actually exist, though, I would condemn them and their wearers.

Honestly I don't give a damn what they call the witch (yea I said witch) come on sexism police. :eyes: She sat there silent as someone threatened another persons life all while she was inciting them to do so. she has some nerve to get pissed off because someone (allegedly) called her a cunt. I'm sorry but judging by the crowds she draws I find that hard to believe. I'm sure the crowd would drop kick anyone that insulted their precious Palin.

11. Why do Democrats have to be considered the harbingers of all that is evil in the world

while allowing the repukes to tar and feather us this way... all despite the fact that they are the truly evil ones? Why would anyone put any credence to what they say? And why are we not demanding that they denounce McKKKlan supporters who walk around with monkey dolls with Obama stickers on them? They would say "First Amendment" and we capitulate.

No one on this board nor in the Obama campaign has anything to do with what any one of 300,000,000 American citizens do.

Still disgusting....strangely enough, the creator of the shirt was a woman too, and thought it would be "ironic" since McCain called his wife that word (according to Ben SMith). Not amusing

Typically, you don't see a Photoshop piece that works so well with the wrinkles of the fabric and the contour of the shirt compared to the bodies.

It's most likely a real photo of a group of idiots who just want to get noticed for being "mean" and "risque".

There are two words I never use, regardless of how much I may dislike an individual: the "N" word for AAs and the "C" word for women.

50. I saw a picture of a caveman and a dinosaur together

Doesn't make it true.

Those people in the pic are nowhere near an Obama rally.
They are staffers of a website looking for attention.
There is no proof that any of these idiots are Democrats.
Just a bunch of shameless self-promoters looking for their fifteen minutes of fame.

From their website WOW:

We at World of Wonder
We at World of Wonder pride ourselves on being champions of the eccentric, the bizarre, the kooky, the outlandish, the subversive, the outcast, and all things that exist on the fringe of society. We believe that the underground of today is the mainstream of tomorrow, and that the true innovators of the present are found not at the crest of pop culture, but lie just underneath, creating the groundswell for the next great wave. It is our goal to bring into the spotlight those people and ideas that now reside at the edge of civilization. This is our manifesto, and these are our beliefs:

We believe that there is an artist inside all of us (but usually a bad one).
We believe that imagination is second only to good looks.
We believe the superficial is the most profound.
We believe that soup cans are art.
We believe that celebrity is the disease of the 21st century.

We believe that everyone is the star of their own musical.
We believe that children should be named after consumer products.
We believe genocide is a lousy way to solve demographic problems.
We believe that history belongs to those who write it.

We believe that beauty is on the outside (and if you don't believe us just peel off your skin).
We believe we are living in the age of the thing.
We believe that chartreuse is the new yellow.
We believe that salmon can be served with either red or white wine.
We believe the children are the future.

We believe your car is your suit.
We believe that Las Vegas is the pinnacle of modern architecture.
We believe that video did not kill the radio star, but only hurt her feelings.
We believe in the sixteenth minute.
We believe that the television is a good device for raising your children.

We believe that two wrongs almost invariably make a right.
We believe that you should never drink the water in Mexico.
We believe that the glass is neither half empty nor half full, but simply confused.

We believe that modern life is rubbish.
We believe the wrapping's the thing.
We believe that a man should be allowed to marry his horse (but only if the horse can speak and voices its consent).
We believe in the emptiness of emptiness.
We believe that the missionary position is best left to missionaries.

We believe glamour is where you are not.
We believe that the mullet never got the attention it deserved.
We believe that seltzer water is primed for a comeback.
We believe that Elvis is dead, but probably preserving nicely.

And finally...

We believe that you should never, ever turn off your tv.

They are soooo avant garde.
Too cool for school.
I bet they each own forty black t-shirts.

Bunch of silly gits.

It was at a hotel in Philly I believe, when Palin dropped the puck (shirt creator was a libertarian, but an Obama supporter, so you know that Obama is at fault! heh). Maybe they were protesting her? I can believe that Wallace lied obviously, since that's her special talent, but she actually said "c you next tuesday"? What a nerd!

43. look, daddy, Obama did it too!

I am sooo sick of the whining from the McCain camp.

do these t-shirts stem from rhetoric the Obama ticket is stirring up? NO WAY.

End of story.

liberals don't use words like that in this way normally....I question it just because of it's lack of taste. Liberals make jokes of things, they use that word in a rant perhaps, but not on a t-shirt. No liberal worth their salt would stoop to that, when there is so much else to say. Besides, that word hardly describes her true faults. She is a patriarch in a skirt. She is a racist, she is a moron, she is ill equipped and misinformed and internationally embarrassed.

I call bullshit on this, for the simple fact that liberals have a much better command of the english language and use it with finesse. there is no finesse here, just a childish desire to say "he did it too!"

I'm not just a feminist when I approve of certain women's political views. Misogyny should never be accepted and laughed at just because Palin is not on our side politically speaking. It's akin to defending free speech only as long as we like what is being said.

76. That's OK.

I just get ticked off when I see the sexism prevalent in our society. I didn't like it when Hillary was the target of it and I don't like it being used against Palin. There's plenty of other things to criticize Palin for other than being a woman.

Take care!

folks feel the need to do this. Palin is pretty good as discrediting herself without any outside help. These tee-shirt wearers are only discrediting themselves and their fellow democrats. You'd think they could have come up with something, anything more clever than this.

Has anyone seen any photographic evidence of this yet? I heard this story once but they refused to show a photo of the people because of the graphic nature (but they could have just fuzzed out the 1 word!). When they fail to show evidence, its starts making me wonder ..............

56. I wonder if anyone can identify the people wearing those T shirts

I think a lot of people would call them out. There were a lot of hard core Democratic supporters in the protest who would like to point out those folks. I wonder if the picture was photoshopped or if those guys were plants. Given how much the Obama campaign relies on the grass roots, it would be hard to show up at a rally and not have someone in your neighborhood able to identify you.

57. Sounds like something McCain would say to his wife

Or about her...

"At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt."

59. OK, to be fair to the old guy,

is there actual proof that he ever said that to Cindy or is it just hearsay? You know how people always make things up about those who they don't like.

63. no video evidence, so that is not proof

Edited on Wed Oct-15-08 09:48 AM by ErinBerin84

I remember when someone asked McCain about it in a town hall, and he said "We don't use that kind of language here", and the man was ushered out. (funny, he thought it was acceptable to call Hillary Clinton the B word in a similar event..) According to Ben Smith, the creator of the shirt worn by people outside of Palin event is a female libertarian, who thought the shirt was "ironic" because of the reports that McCain called Cindy that.

69. You forget about the reporters who where there when it was said and were used as sources

But why dwell on that when we can pretend that a female libertarian is an Obama supporter and use some stupid t-shirt to try to make it look as though Obama is as bad as McLame.

73. oh, I totally believe that he called her that.

Edited on Wed Oct-15-08 10:08 AM by ErinBerin84

I found it "strange" that his immediate response to that question in the town hall was not a denial, but a quick "eh, have this guy removed!" I didn't add the part about the reporter's account of it, because I thought that was common knowledge. And again, Nicole Wallace probably knows that these people were not at an Obama rally (or a Palin rally) and even if they were, do not compare to calling Obama a terrorist or shouting kill him , but why stop lying now when she could continue in the tradition of her mentor Karl Rove?

77. Others heard the exchange?

Well then, that's pretty low of McCain. No woman deserves to be called such crass names by anyone, let alone by her husband.

79. Yeah, I was disappointed at his belated defense of Hillary.

They had been friends for years and he should have chided the woman who called her the "B" word immediately, not 10 minutes later.

68. Absolutely, and was Nicolle Wallace equally as concerned..

about the fact that John McCain called his wife this very repugnant name? What does that say about John McCain's character Nicolle?

72. Yeah, but the shirts didn't say "KILL the cunt", now did they?

THAT would be worth getting worked up about.

...at least you are consistent. Is this Todd or one of the kids?

85. But She Is A "C word".

Not many more fit to wear the label than her.

If I ran into her in public, I'd undoubtedly shout that at her.

Wouldn't wear the t-shirt though.

93. I tried to do a little quick research about WOW...

Edited on Wed Oct-15-08 01:35 PM by SavageDem

...and it would appear that WOW refers to Women Online Worldwide - I haven't seen anywhere else in this thread that identifies what "WOW" is. Their site is a bulletin board, but it doesn't look that active. No threads in the "Politics" section started in three days, and the Search function doesn't return any hits on "cunt."

So, I might be tempted to agree with others that this smells a little like a Republican smear job. I can't think of any women I know - including fairly rabid feminists - that would proudly (or even ashamedly) wear a shirt like this.

OK, so I was quick on the draw. Looks like there is a group out there - and I do mean "out there" - that is proud to create & wear these shirts. Go figure. I guess our big tent has a few kooks in it. At least we don't claim to be perfect - or we shouldn't...

94. She can allege anything she wants.

In fact, that seems to be the McCain campaign's basic strategy: allege damn near anything and let the voters figure out if there's anything to it. It may be true that some college student at some McPalin rally wore a McC*nt t-shirt, or whatever (and it may be pure fabrication)--but that's neither a threat against Palin's life or necessarily a misstatement of fact (there, I said it). And in no way has the Obama/Biden campaign incited that type of behavior. As opposed to, you know, suggesting that Obama's a traitor who "pals around with terrorists."
