1. Gotta love the "banana republic" bit.
We're not the ones who stole an election (on second thought, make that two), passed fascist legislation like the Patriot Act, manipulated the American public into supporting war with a country that had nothing to do with attacking us, and could only say "So?" when it is pointed out that the majority of the people now oppose them. If this is a banana republic, who made it so?

2. If you join, do you get a jacket or something?
'cause that WOULD be kinda cool.

That and a secret fist bump.

3. Damn. We donated to his campaign, but never were we told

we could become his thugs. We'd have happily ponied up $25 more if it would have entitled us to official Obama's thugs status. How cool would that have been?

on edit - I already type like a thug, assuming a thug types poorly, so I'm a natural. Mr. President, hello?

5. He made me say it.
It's all his fault. No one but him bears any responsibility for the state of the nation anymore. Especially me.

6. Yes, I go around forcing people to be nice to each other.
Sometimes it takes high levels of brutality.

7. I saw this new "thug" meme...
Edited on Sun May-24-09 02:14 AM by Puzzler
... in a few trolling comments under a completely unreleated Alternet article today.

Is this a new meme hoping for traction?

9. A circle of idiocy: Some parent at a swim meet commenting on a random comment in a random blog....
... and we're laughing here at DU.
