1. It's hilarious and I piss myself laughing every time I see it.

[datopbanana]

38. I think the Obama one was even funnier. Whoever created this to make the point it was sexist FAILED

[Mojorabbit]

108. Yes an epic fail.

I found it hilarious.

[DevonRex]

2. Don't you have enough people to talk to over there?

[Arkana]

3. She's too busy crapping herself with righteous indignation.

[DevonRex]

5. Or with calls to action...

...somewhere else, where people hate Obama.

[datopbanana]

39. Pretty much.

[stranger_with_candy]

4. Yes

It's fucking hilarious. Enough of this shit already?

[GarbagemanLB]

6. Fucking hilarious. Christ, let it go.

[tridim]

7. I never knew that the penis is the male equivalent of the breast.

I think both pics are semi-amusing in a "fart joke" kind of way.

[rockymountaindem]

8. For the situation to be completely analogous it would have to be two women

"groping" a cardboard cutout of Obama. It would still be crass, but it would also not set off any well-calibrated outrage alarms. People do silly things. That's just how it is.

[camera obscura]

11. The funny thing is that me + my (female) friends have done goofy stuff with male cutouts before

I guess by the original poster's standards, I'm too nasty to be a part of this board :shrug:

[Orangepeel]

19. that wouldn't be that much different than the "Obama girl" video

famous people, including political candidates, are sometimes treated like sex objects. I agree that that's just how it is.

[camera obscura]

9. Jeez, a warning next time? I fell out of my seat laughing!

[CreekDog]

10. It is funny

People who are upset have a 1000 things to get more upset over than this or the photo with the Hillary cutout.

[liberalmuse]

12. At least they're not molesting real people...

Though perhaps a blow up doll would be better than cardboard. And yes, it is funny.

[Ian David]

13. ooh! ooh! Do this one next!

[Lucky 13]

14. Freakin' hilarious.

[Clio the Leo]

15. At least they're not pouring the beer up his nose this time. NT

[cali]

16. wowzer. how do you do it? an unbroken stream of pathetic

fucked up, petulant, pile of shit posts.

Congratulations, dear.

[DevonRex]

17. Of the hit and run variety, too.

You have a fine way with words. :) and :hi:

[boppers]

18. Oooh, I wanna see one with Babs!

:rofl:

[Withywindle]

20. Yes, actually.

Particularly because of the smile.

[AllentownJake]

21. I'm sure during the primaries

The Hillary people were doing similar things.

It's called blowing off steam.

Let it fucking go.

[MadBadger]

22. Well look who's back. Im guessing you aint stayin'.

[mckeown1128]

37. It was so pleasant without them here... oh well. nt

[d_b]

23. lulz @ all of them

[Billy Shears]

24. the Hillary one is still the funniest

[happychatter]

25. While it, is mildly amusing... you, are absolutely ridiculous.

[Uzybone]

26. Very funny, get a life.

n/t

[Genevieve]

27. yeah,

if you're still in Junior High School.

[Milo_Bloom]

28. EPIC LULZ!

[Balderdash]

29. Of course it's not funny

Too bad we still have all of these Freepers over here trying to sow decent amongst the Progressives and liberals. There are plenty of Democrats that care about sexism and misogyny.

31. I drop one letter and that's all you got out of my post, who's

the hugh moran?

[IndianaJones]

35. you kinda dropped one letter and then a whole word. nt.

[Balderdash]

42. LOL

And you can't read...

[IndianaJones]

46. dissent? decent? descent? bwaaaahahahaha. nt.

[11 Bravo]

40. Oops, now you have proven that you can neither spell nor count ...

the tribe has spoken ... it's time for you to go.

[uppityperson]

43. What does "sow decent" mean? I am running phrases and can't get it.

thanks

[ieoeja]

71. Trying to turn us all into good "decent" people it would seem. Thinks our humor is too crude. n/t

[H2O Man]

32. No, but you are.

[sniffa]

33. Oh noes, we've been punked!

[HughMoran]

34. No!

All those trees wasted to make those carboard cutouts!

[mckeown1128]

36. Hmm... I can guess what sites you've been on...

http://pumapac.org/ (Where they know the truth about how Obama is an illegal alien muslim terrorist manchurian candidate :sarcasm: )

Seems they just love those pics....

[Ichingcarpenter]

45. Yes it came from the Puma site and

many of the faux outrages mirror stuff from other puma sites too
like PUMA08

[Ian David]

68. Boo-hoo for the PUMAs

[JVS]

113. Nice LOLcat!

:rofl:

I mean the one about Republican Anus

[blogslut]

41. It is not funny

Because it is a very bad photochop of something that never happened.

What would I think if there was an actual photo of say, Mark Penn and Terry McAuliffe, doing bad nasty things to a cardboard cutout of President-Elect Barack Obama? I would think the same thing I do about young Favreau's photographic infamy - People do stupid things when they drink too much.

[Nikki Stone1]

44. MassDemm, you are absolutely correct. Good photo lesson.

What is discriminatory for HRC is discriminatory for Barack, and as progressives we need to remember that no one is free while others are oppressed.

Nikki

[AllentownJake]

47. Fucking oppressed?

She's Secretary of State. How the hell was she oppressed when she was asked to serve in the most sought after cabinet appointment?

[dkf]

48. She's the SOS and he's the President and they are still both oppressed by

2 stupid pics on the internet.

How twisted is that?

When is a person not oppressed any longer?

[AllentownJake]

49. If we were still in the midst of silly season

I.E. the Primary. I'd understand the faux outrage. We won. We have a democratic President and 2 of the people who ran for President are in the cabinet and another is VP. Half the democratic field is in the Whitehouse.

[Uzybone]

51. Maybe those outraged

don't really support democrats. This is lipstick on a pig level "outrage".

[atimetocome]

99. Hillary was oppressed by the young drunk male.

[TayTay]

50. Agreed, free the oppressed Fatheads!

Heretofore, all cutouts, fatheads and other depictions of actual human beings should be fitted with cameras and GPS location devices so that people will know when one is not being used properly. Should someone, shockingly, approach a representation of an actual human being with ill intent or intent to commit humor, they should be jailed or have their pics in the paper or something bad like that.

We need a cutouts rights group! Free the oppressed http://www.fathead.com/">fatheads! Expand the copyright laws to include a provision that prevents anyone from saying or doing something mean or disparaging to a picture of someone.

That ought to do it. If we don't nip this particular threat to the Republic in the bud now, I think the next step will be the hideous abuse of wind-chimes or lawn chairs or some other inanimate object. Heaven forbid!

[countingbluecars]

57. Good one! n/t

[Rebubula]

83. How does one...

...Oppress a cardboard cut out??

Did these actions stop Mrs. Clinton from speaking her mind or casting her vote?

Seriously...lighten up, Francis

[Balderdash]

52. Women still have such a long way to go...

I really don't understand how so many supposed Progressives don't get it.

[Erin Elizabeth]

53. It's stuff like this and the over the top reactions from HRC supporters

that made me realize something today. When I was watching Obama on Meet the Press and he mentioned HRC as his Secretary of State, I thought you know, I think she'll work out great. My first positive thought about her in weeks.

You know why?

Because I haven't been to DU in a while and the last time I was here, I took to hiding a lot of the HRC threads. The realization is that her over the top supporters bug me SO much more than she does, so as long as I stay away from YOU GUYS, I can actually be objective about her.

In other words, you guys are not doing her any good.

Oh and I think that picture is freaking hilarious.

[Nikki Stone1]

54. I voted for Obama. That doesn't mean I lost my ability to see something sexist.

Neither has Obama. I am looking forward to him taking over in January.

[Erin Elizabeth]

58. What the heck did that have to do with my post?

[Balderdash]

78. Maybe it's what you said, "over the top reactions from HRC supporters"

I voted for Obama too and I see sexism and misogyny. I'm wondering why supposed Democrats and liberals are having such a hard time with the concept.

[ProSense]

55. Funny in a sort of "I can't believe some photoshopped cardboard to make a stupid point" way. This

is funny in a sort of holy shit way.

[JTFrog]

64. Holy Shit. That's a pathetic holy shit, nothing funny about that. n/t

[ieoeja]

74. I love this quote:

Referring to a vote for Obama a poster from your link wrote:

"I will NEVER vote for him. NEVER! Never under any circumstances. I am a NO WE WON'Ter!"


This was posted at 7:41pm on Oct 31st by someone called ... massdemm.

Wonder if she's related to the OP of this thread?

[SwampG8r]

111. lot of familiar names on your link

[Upton]

56. Yep, as is the real picture

it's a shame, but in their eagerness to brand everything sexist, many of my fellow Democrats have lost their sense of humor.

[quakerboy]

59. Would be funnier if the Obama

wasn't so pixelated. Other than that, in a dumb Dorm humor kinda way, sure its funny. Why do you ask?

[Occam Bandage]

60. These are all hilarious in a way the Hillary one is not. I honestly laughed out loud three times.

[geek tragedy]

61. Pathetic PUMA worms trying to gin up outrage is funny.

GFY.

[dbmk]

62. I didn't think the original was funny

And neither did I find these ones funny. Ok, maybe the one with Mother Theresa. :)

Nor do I find them offensive. They land rather softly in the middle of my "Could care less" zone.

[JTFrog]

63. Almost as funny as the PUMA's coming out of their hidey holes to wallow in feigned outrage.

:rofl:
:rofl:
:rofl:
:rofl:
:rofl:

[ShortnFiery]

65. This is series1111!

The "Groping of the President Elect's Cardboard Cut-out." :P :crazy:

[Christian30]

66. It's not a big deal...

This is another media created drama and we have to stop falling for it. It's a bunch of young guys who were drinking and fucking around. In the days before the "Internets" and digital cameras, this would never have seen the light of day.

[Balderdash]

67. Sexism and misogyny shouldn't be tolerated by

liberals. I can see it from Republicans but not us, why is this such a chore for Democrats?

[Rebubula]

95. Drunken fun...

Did anyone get hurt? The only problem is that they were not smart enough to NOT post the pic online.

Lighten up, Francis. There are plenty of places where your outrage would be appropriate (oh maybe, honor killings, rape, genital mutilation etc) - but two chuckleheads molesting a cardboard cutout - meh.

I guess that I am not progressive enough to have lost my sense of humor...

[scheming daemons]

69. I think that is hilarious..... Why is it that PUMAs like the OP have no sense of humor?

[snooper2]

70. Pic's 2 3 and 5 made me smile

:rofl:

[thewiseguy]

72. I see PUMA!

}(

[DevonRex]

73. Yep. Not enough people over at caphill to talk to. Last week it

was a different site whose folks came over here. Now it's caphill. Poor widdle things got nobody to talk to.

[Balderdash]

81. I see a sexist Freeper!

.

[DevonRex]

96. You might want to check this out from the OP:

http://capitolhillforum.com/topic/845525/1/

Wiseguy got it right.

[Forkboy]

100. LOL @ "PumaSphere".

:rofl:

[Balderdash]

101. Yeah, well I'm not a PUMA and it's rude to just lump

anyone who objects to letting this little asshole off the hook as a PUMA. It's also rude to just fucking ridicule people who are on the same side and not even try to listen. Just poke 'em until they shut up. I'm not going to shut up about sexism though. I'd be just as upset if that guy was grouping any cutout of any woman. First off, he's Obama's representative, why would he want to embarrass his boss like that. And Republicans are just waiting to pull another Palin out of their ass because Democrats are sexist. Why give them the ammunition?

[ProSense]

102. "It's also rude to just fucking ridicule people who are on the same side and not even try to listen"

It's rude to stir up phony outrage over bullshit and pretend that you're doing this for the greater good.

Carville: It's a piece of cardboard, stupid

Obama's transition team: Favreau apologized, Hillary accepted, the isse is over.

Keep crying faux tears.

[DevonRex]

117. He didn't "lump" anybody. He said something directly to the OP

which was about the OP. It wasn't about you at all.

[ErinBerin84]

75. I laughed, guess I'm going to Hell.

The cardboard grope was stupid, but I'm pretty sure all parties involved have bigger fish to fry at this point. At least I should hope so.

[tekisui]

76. Very funny. Especially Ma Theresa.

[ieoeja]

77. Given that you posted the following about Obama:

"I will NEVER vote for him. NEVER! Never under any circumstances. I am a NO WE WON'Ter!"

At http://capitolhillforum.com/single/?p=195301&t=807601 just four days before the election, why are you here?

[Faygo Kid]

84. Thanks for that catch. Tombstone her.

[rockymountaindem]

85. I thought she was already banned

Did the mods reinstate the PUMA fools after the election as some sort of goodwill gesture?

[thewiseguy]

93. Uh Oh!

:rofl:

[DevonRex]

120. Maybe now it'll get TS'd...

:shrug:

Seriously, what more will it take?

[Sebastian Doyle]

79. Perhaps THIS was a more appropriate use of a cardboard Hillary?

Right, PUMAtrolls? :eyes:

[Beacool]

88. I laughed at the one on the right.

:rofl:

[nichomachus]

80. No, they're stupid

And the original one was stupid

But it wasn't a fucking constitutional crisis.

You really need to get over yourself and focus on the real problems facing the country, instead of wasting bandwidth with phony outrage.

[Neshanic]

82. Yes. very much so.

[lumberjack_jeff]

86. I miss the good old days

When we had legitimate shit to be pissed off about.

Now that the troops have come home from Iraq, the economy is zooming and Wall Street CEO's are behind bars, life is boring.

[AtomTan]

87. Imagine what you could accomplish if you put all that energy toward helping someone who needs it.

[Balderdash]

89. Imagine what life would be like if women were treated with

respect.

[thewiseguy]

94. Imagine if life was not so one dimensional.

:think:

[Erin Elizabeth]

122. I don't know what you're on about, I'm treated with respect.

[Hellataz]

90. yes, it's just young people having fun and being stupid, why is this a federal case?

[Alter Ego]

91. Where'd you go? You just tossed a friggin molotov cocktail and left us?

Come back so we can laugh at your pathetic outrage!

[Life Long Dem]

92. Is MSM still talking about this?

Why do the articles say he is 27 years old when Wikipedia has Jon Favreau as 42 years old? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Favreau

MSM probably figures they can use this incident to build up it's case against Obama - whatever this case may be.

[Erin Elizabeth]

97. So, you voted for McCain, huh?

I mean according to that quote from that Capitol Hill site you voted for McCain. What the fuck are you doing on DU?

[ProSense]

105. It's amazing this thread is still open. n/t

[mckeown1128]

112. PUMAs are a protected class here..

Even if they are quoted on other sites as having voted for McCain...and support the whole "Obama is a illegal alien terrorist plant" smears.

[DevonRex]

119. What's up with that? McCain voters who only stir up shit should be

out of here, IMHO.

[Starry Messenger]

121. I don't get it either.

I'm all for a big tent but the sideshow attractions are getting a little old!

[DevonRex]

123. Yes, they are. We have plenty of good democrats to argue with

on this board. Seems to me we don't need McCain/Palin voters to cause more trouble.

[atimetocome]

98. NO--and the one of Hillary and the drunk was NOT funny either.

[Incitatus]

103. No, it's actually pretty stupid. nt

[Catchawave]

104. Agree n/t

[JeffR]

106. What's funny is seeing you posting here.

It's not just funny. It's painfully funny.

Well, painful, anyway.

[Skittles]

107. OK so it made me laugh

that does not necessarily mean it is funny :7

[Drunken Irishman]

110. Sexist.

[Drunken Irishman]

109. Yes. I LOL'd at the Mother Teresa one!

[anonymous171]

114. lol you again.

I thought you got TS'd after your whole "OBAMA WAS NEVAR A PROGRESSIVE HAHAHA" thread

[dionysus]

115. waaaahhh

banky will make it better;


seriously find something real to get pissed about... stop being so hypersensitive about the goddamn clintons already...

[dionysus]

116. .

[bunnies]

118. Bad poomuh. Back in your cage!

:spank:

[AtomicKitten]

124. We look forward to you pointing out every real or imagined slight against your precious.

[dionysus]

125. .

127. precioussssssss
