I got this message from my freeper uncle, and I don't understand what it means??
He is a rushbo fan and a total freeper and dittohead. But I love him dearly.

What does this mean?

The tally is in, 2 million people, the voters, attended the inauguration of our new president. Only 14 missed work!

What the hell does this mean?

1. He is implying that the vast majority of Obama voters ...
... don't have jobs. We're all Welfare Queens, dontcha know?

2. Ask him
Does this mean 1,999,984 people lost their jobs during the Bush administration ?

6. He probably only watched 10 minutes of it
It's a well-known fact most Freepers can't count past 10.

This is the DU member formerly known as RushLimbaughIsABigFatIdiot.

5. What he believes is...
only the unemployed (aka, by rushbo, as welfare recipients) voted for Obama.

You might try what I finally told my repug relatives. I said, "Please don't send me anything to do with politics." When that didn't work for two of my friends (and one family member), I reported them as spam. That worked! ;-)

36. My aunt sent me an email that lied about Iraq War military deaths...
and I sent a scathing email back to her. I even took the time to click on the included link on the email, and found out all of the numbers posted in the email lied. Needless to say, I haven't received another bullshit rightwing email from her. :D

7. Tell the pig that the jobs were offshored and there are none left.
(others already said it; purported welfare queens were the ones that had shown up at the inauguration)

8. Lord. I'd just ignore it.
My first reflex is to get annoyed and immediately start listing all the people I know who took vacation days to attend -- every single one of them an upstanding member of the community.

But then my second reflex is, "Don't teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig."

Actually, my third reflex is to slap back with a funny comeback. The nice thing about email is that it gives you a day to come up with good lines, and I try to make it a policy never to let this RW bullshit go unanswered -- you just have to needle the bastids back, not get angry.

If I come up with any good zingers I'll let you know. :)

23. YES! Please do that for me!
BTW, I saw your pics.

No WONDER we show up at you door with pink boas and savings bonds!

I think I am bigger than you. I could sit on you.

(Don't think I'd like to try that though.:scared: )

27. I could squish you.
But, I don't know why I'd do that. I like you!

And you'd kick my ass!

I'm not a fighter, so you have me over a barrel there.

11. Using his logic that means nearly 60 million people would be unemployed.
Boy, that sounds like a ringing endorsement for gop economics. :eyes:

But the people things like this are intended for do not stop to think things through. As your uncle if he'd like some cheese with his whine?

17. Actually, it probably has more of
a bigoted undertone, if you get my drift. The freeps are really good about throwing around that kind of sentiment. :eyes:

16. Ask him if he came up with it himself or if Rush spoon fed it to him.
Dittoheads love to quote their beloved lord and master.

24. More than that. He is saying anyone who voted for Obama or went to his inauguration,
is either unemployed or on welfare.

This is a dumb fuck who thinks Sarah was wonderful, and refers to our President as "Sambo"

I am supposed to go to his place Wednesday to fix his PC.

Should I sabotage him? :evilgrin:

30. I'm guessing too, that he wouldn't believe that I work in the oil/energy
industry, making in the upper five figures and still voted whole-heartedly for Obama. If I could have taken the time off, I would have gone :D

Further, I doubt he would believe that we used to have a piping designer as narrow minded as he is that "milked" his way out of a job. That is, he did as little work as he could, made up excuses as to why he hadn't got anything done, wasn't very good at his job for quality, and finally got fired for it. How's that for a "stronger work ethic" :eyes:

You should definitely sabotage him

Don't just "Reply All" either. "Mine" all the other addresses out of the body of the email (assuming there are others; I've gotten ones like that at work that must have contained another hundred email addresses from all the previous forwards) and send your reply to them, too. Invariably, there will be one or two that actually agree with you but were too intimidated or couldn't be bothered to reply in kind ;)

Slip a nice 4800 kbps modem in there. It'll give him a little more time to consider what he's writing.

29. It means he's a racist asshole; implying that most of the people
at the inauguration were black, and therefore (as the white racist assholes continue to claim) are on welfare instead of having jobs, as the white racist asshole claim to have.

You can continue to "love him dearly," because he's family, but he's a fucking racist. Sorry to have to be the one to break the news to you.

31. Because the party that favors unions and workers rights....
...apparently is made up of people who don't work. Or something like that. :eyes:

Sheesh. I feel for you. Of course you're talking to someone whose brother in law recently said that the closing of Guantanamo "means that the terrorists won't have anything to be afraid of anymore." All in the family.

32. That's along the same logic as "The death penalty prevents murders."
;)

I wonder what it's like to live with such a simple view of the world...

33. Tell him: The tally is in, 67 million voters elected Obama as POTUS.
And then tell him to go kiss a moose.

What an assholish thing for him to say. x(
