The Atheist Communist Caliphate Made Flesh, Spread the Clusterfuck Around Thread

[Chuck to Chuck]

Jesus, he's really ANGRY about Obama's election, isn't he?  I find it comical that anybody who's suffered through the last eight years of Republican government can't at least open their mind enough to acknowledge that it might be time to try something else for a while.

With some people it's not about ideology as much as it is branding.  No matter how good it might be for baseball to see a few different winners, Yankee fans can't believe that anyone other than the Yankees should win every year.

That's every black person Bush has spoken to in the last 8 years.

Bush thinks that the key to the unemployment situation is to expand the NBA to 50,000 teams.

I've got just the man to lead this rampant, unchecked NBA expansion; Gary Bettman.

This. Is why I decided to sit back watch how this all plays out.

And how'd that work out for you?

What does any of that have to do with "branding"?

I don't get this Gittles analogy at all.

Since when does any fan care about what's good for baseball? Even Bud Selig doesn't care about what's good for baseball.

Holy shit... Where's our resident anarcho-syndicalist, Jon?

Off organizing for the IWW?

Apparently a fun new meme has been ricocheting around the internets while he's been out, taking root among Hillary dead-enders, conspiracy theorists and the hilarious right alike...

THE OBAMAS FIRST FAUX PAS - BEHOLD AMERICA'S NEW FIRST FAMILY

In a campaign where nothing has been left to chance, we have America's new First Family, the Obamas, all decked out in red and black! When I looked at this picture this morning, I thought the choice of clothing colors was a bit odd. Really, who puts black on a little girl and why red & black on the all four of the Obamas?

Why this combination of colors, when surely the campaign has been planning what the first photographs of the incoming faux president and his family would look like for weeks? Even the criss/crossed material on Michelle's dress seemed odd to me. I had to dig a little deeper.

Think about it. Don't we always see politicians in shades or combinations of red, blue, navy, etc. Examples that quickly come to mind include Nancy Reagan's red dresses, Hillary's many shades of blues dresses and pantsuits, Laura Bush her many shades of blue and royal blue . . . the men follow the same the same etiquette. Why, because subliminally we are supposed to think of the red, white, and blue in our country's flag. I didn't have to dig very deep . . . here's the answer.

Black and red bisected symbolism

The red-and-black flag is the symbol of the anarcho-syndicalist and anarcho-communist movements. Black is the traditional color of anarchism, and red is the traditional color of socialism. The red-and-black flag combines the two colors in equal parts, with a simple diagonal split. Typically, the red section is placed on the top-left corner, with the black on the bottom-right corner of the flag. This symbolizes the co-existence of anarchist and socialist ideals within the anarcho-syndicalism movement, and to symbolize the more socialistic means of the movement leading to a more anarchistic end.

...

Lest anyone think that campaigns and politicians don't understand the importance and symbolism of the use of color in their campaigns, has anyone forgotten Hillary's orange pantsuit the night of her speech at the Democratic Convention in August?

At the time, I thought that was an odd choice too, until I realized that orange is a color of protest. HRC was so cool, protesting her unfair treatment by the DNC's selection of Obama in her orange suit, and it went over most people's heads. Way, to go, girl! It's just one of the reasons we loved you!

Memo to the Obama team: the choice of red & black clothing for this all important introduction to the American people was either one of the dumbest moves I've ever witnessed, or was incredibility insensitive to the history of this country, or was intentional.

You may want to remember that the last time the world had to deal with a charismatic leader capable of keeping millions of people mesmerized with his rhetoric, his iconic symbol, also in red and black, looked like this . . . [take a guess]

Dennis: Anarcho-syndicalism is a way of preserving freedom.
Woman: Oh, Dennis, forget about freedom. We haven't got enough mud.

Intrepid Reader 7 Seconds: We'll attack! We'll attack! We'll attack in red and black!

I don't know who wrote that but he's in more dire need of a blowjob than any white man on earth.

I saw Mike C surfing around here at Desipio the other day.  His user status said "Posting in _______ Thread (probably this one)".  He must have backed out, because the post never appeared.  Now somebody links that site with his trackmarks all over it?  That induced gut-busting laughter, I nearly fell right out of my chair.  Gracious!

That's every black person Bush has spoken to in the last 8 years.

Don't see Colin and Condi in there, smart guy. The first two black Secs of State... Remember them? Smart guy? But by all means continue with your Bush as racist caricature. It's hilarious as all get out.

Jury's out.

Well shit.  I want to be the Secs of State too.  I would need to take Mondays off; on account of all the soreness and whatnot.
