Holy Balls! The latest right-wing bullshit (but they aren't racist or anything) Photo Updated

[Sannum]

Are people really this fucking stupid? Is there a way we can get them the help they need so much? I like the touch of "old ex-neighbor". I am not a violent person, but I am really starting to have an overwhelming desire to slap the shit out of these fucking idiots.

Per e-mail:

This was sent to me by an old ex-neighbor who wound up being a White House photographer. She said that after the Ball some fashon critics suggested that the attire could be questioned by some and therefore a lid was put on all photographs. This one happened to make it to my email, however and I'm passing it along to a few.




3rd attempt at posting correct photo - I am so tired I can't even function!

7. Seriously how stupid would you have to be to believe that email and that picture? I know they hate

Obama but really?

8. People that stupid should be put in a place where they can be safe

from hurting themselves and others. People that crazy should not be out walking the streets.

10. Fake Michelle has a ROCKIN' Bod!!!

I'm not insulted.. more jealous really. I want her abs!!

Honestly - this doesn't offend me.. it sort of makes me laugh. The Wingnuts do & say more on a daily basis to REALLY offend me.. so things like this just make me chuckle. It's not like anyone would look at that and think it's real...

And I have a feeling 75% of those on this board thought it was funny when Palin's head was on a Bikini clad chick holding an AK-47... so what's good for the goose is good for the gander IMO.

11. This photo is beyond racist.

12. By successfully loading the pic, you've made it more likely to be spread on the Internet.

While it's probably already out there, now it's viewable by more people, and it might even be more likely to be posted more frequently.

And that is unfortunate.

13. the picture is on snopes for heavens sake.

I suspect more people visit snopes than DU

15. I saw another altered one

Michelle had James Brown put on her face. I also saw one with a monkey on her face. That was even worse.

16. That is a million dollar smile on

his face :rofl: and damn, Michelle has a good body.:rofl:

[vaberella]

17. I realize the racialization..but I kind of like it. Fake Michelle is sweet & I like O's pimp suit.

Ugh......weird.

19. Here is the ORIGINAL Picture:

Nevermind.. i tried to link to the pictures, but Snopes won't let me.

Here is the Snopes Link so you can see the "before" and "after": http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/photos/whball.asp

Give the Photoshopper some credit.. this was a "pimp the world" contest that he/she was entering into to show off Photoshop skillz.. he/she wasn't trying to purposely send this out as an actual picture (I don't think the artist thought anyone would actually be stupid enough to take it seriously).
