Names fail.

[madamesilverspurs]

I really love "Benjamine." Paging Flip Wilson . . .

[MannyGoldstein]

1. If we teach people to spell, will they become Democrats?

Hmm...

[Donnachaidh]

3. the more important question -- do we WANT them to become Democrats?

Personally, I don't.

[lonestarnot]

6. ROFLMAO!

[roguevalley]

20. half wits. God must have loved them because he made so many

[NMMNG]

5. You'd still have to teach them to think

and give them consciences.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

13. Get a clue liberals! This is why they think government schools failed them!

And the schools obviously did. A few hours ago I read a post to the comments section of the Arizona Star. "Are President failed us," or something like that. Well,
maybe they are correct. Just sayin.

[JDPriestly]

43. Are you sure he went to grade school in the US?

I would be surprised if he did. He was trying to sound the names out phonetically. He wasn't very successful.

I just don't believe that a child could go to grade school in this country without learning to spell the names of the presidents. Not possible.

He may have a learning disability. That could be the explanation.

Well, he really embarrassed himself. I feel kind of sorry for that degree of ineptitude although every time I reread one of my posts on DU, I discover missing words, misspelled words -- maybe he was writing too fast. That is my excuse.

[former9thward]

39. If posts on DU are any indication spelling is not just a problem for the RW.

[JDPriestly]

44. True, and mine are the worst although I know very well how to spell.

But George Washington? Tomas for Thomas looks like an Eastern European spelling. Benjamine -- is that some Italian influence?

Very curious.

[former9thward]

47. I am the worst speller in the world but at least I know to click on the 'Check Spelling' icon.

[JohnnyLib2]

2. Instant classic!

[SharonAnn]

33. Yh, no! They were liberals! The right-wing were the royalists against democracy.

[catabryna]

4. Unrec...

because I hate to make fun of people.

:toast:

[JDPriestly]

48. Good point. But this poor soul kind of put himself out there just as we

do on DU with our horrible grammar and atrocious spellings. And we have even less excuse since we have a Spellcheck.

It's just funny because the sign's message is so arrogant and ignorant. This man obviously knows nothing about the historical context of the time in which Jefferson, Washington and Franklin lived and how utterly liberal their ideas were at the time.

Not only can he not spell simple words, but he is ignorant when it comes to history.

It is, I agree a very sad case. Maybe a learning disability?

[JHB]

7. So he admits the founding fathers were not right wing extremists...

...unlike those fellows with somewhat-similar names.

[toddwv]

8. Double fail.

Spelling and...

The founding fathers tried the t-party's idea of America... it was called the "Articles of Confederation". It failed miserably because the federal government was left unfunded and powerless.

So those ultra-liberals concocted the Constitution of America which greatly increased federal power and gave Congress the right to levy taxes.

[philly_bob]

23. Thanks for historical insight on Articles of Confederation, toddwv

[toddwv]

55. Just a boilerplate response I've developed to righties

who claim the founders were hard-core conservatives.

[tularetom]

9. I didn't realize that Hispanic guy was a right wing extremist

You know, Tomas Jefferson.

[Systematic Chaos]

15. From what I hear, he was a real no-buener.

:evilgrin:

[awoke_in_2003]

45. Don't forget his good friend...

Juan Adams.

[JHB]

10. Note to Teabaggers: If you don't know enough or care enough to do the job right...

...in this case, spelling your protest sign, then:

Why should I assume you know jack shit about anything? Why is your opinion worth anything?

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. RLOL

this boy needs to read the Papers of Virginia and a certain Bible just for starters.

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

[LWolf]

12. Oh, good. He's challenging the Moran guy's claim to stupidity.

Will we see them on Monday night RAW?

:rofl:

[Joe Fields]

14. The GOP logo is most apt.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

16. Oh yeah, for what it's worth, it was Thomas but what the fuck,

the school system is broken. Thanks Republicans! Just what you wanted, an illiterate population.

[Baby Bear]

17. Three Strikes And You're Out

How did he manage to misspell every single name? Normally, I don't sweat spelling, but this is ridiculous.

x(

[awoke_in_2003]

46. I sometimes think...

the egregious signs are made by plants.

[lpbk2713]

18. "Is our children learning?"

[virgogal]

19. Funny !

[RC]

21. Oh goodie, another right wing poster boy.

How can they think they're right when advertize that they're so wrong?

[Rex]

22. Did he mean to get all their names wrong on porpoise?

[The Wielding Truth]

26. Hahahaha. Maybe these off named people do live in the RW alternate universe.

A la Sliders. Everything about this is twisted.Their confident ignorance is
incredible and basically embarrassing.

[Mira]

24. The best one since "Morans", surely Recommended and appreciated and

raucously laughed at.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

25. Tomas? Ay, dios mio!

:rofl:

[glowing]

27. Who are these men: Washinton, Tomas, and Benjamine?

Must be famous right-wing extremists that the rest of us weren't taught in our history classes... Maybe they had something to do with burning witches in Salem? Or perhaps, they were turncoats and gave away vital info to the British? I guess we'll never know.

The people who are caught with "moran" signs, normally scurry back into the dark.. They don't like attention when their stupidity is openly on display for everyone on the inter tubes."

[Zorra]

29. I think they fought for Diaz against Zapata during the Mexican Revolution.

Jorge "Washinton" Gonzalez, Tomas Ruiz Hernandez, and Benjamine "El Pendejo" Rodriguez.

[glowing]

57. lol

[treestar]

28. Wow 100% fail

Got none of them right!

[cali]

30. whoa. am I the only one that finds that profoundly depressing?

[Tennessee Gal]

31. There ain't no spell check on poster boards!

ROFLMAO!!

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

32. He forgot Jaime Madison and Paolo Reviera.

[lpbk2713]

34. Y Naranja Juan Bonero también.

:rofl:

[awoke_in_2003]

50. and Juan Adams. nt

[Pool Hall Ace]

35. According to Behind the Name,

Benjamine is the French feminine form of Benjamin.

Tomas is a Swedish, Norwegian, and Lithuanian spelling of Thomas.

I can't explain Washinton.

Could the sign holder be one of those (gasp) European socialist-commie types???

[JHB]

36. Where was this from?

I'd had a notion to be an entrepreneur and go to teabag rallies charging for spell-check services, supplemented by selling overpriced correction supplies (white-out, markers, etc.).

The time for that is probably past, though. These days vendors and media outnumber the attendees.

At least there's no lines for the porta-potties.

[Coexist]

37. why is he casting asparagus at our historical figures?

[pam4water]

38. That sign doesn't even make scene,

[separationcs]

40. Is this even real?

[Tikki]

41. Do you believe the poster might not be real?

Why do you think that?


Tikki

[separationcs]

59. Because

I have a hard time believing people can be so dim as to fuck up so many words on an otherwise well done poster.

[Avalux]

61. Otherwise well done?

:rofl:

[JDPriestly]

42. I wonder what this man's mother tongue was?

Italian immigrant? Mexican immigrant? German?

Or someplace in Eastern Europe?

There is some reason for his chronic misspellings. He may be translating these names from some other language.

That is hilarious -- and embarrassing for this poor fellow.

I can't believe that he is American-born. I just can't believe that he could have gone to an American grade school and not learned how to spell the names of these Founding Fathers, especially the early presidents.

[Firebrand Gary]

49. Too bad this sign is intentionally misspelled.

One name is believable, two is questionable, three is confirmation of intentional mischief.

[separationcs]

60. Yes.

[awoke_in_2003]

51. make English our offical language

:)

[obxhead]

52. You know that was painstakingly written out as well.

I bet he focused really hard trying to keep it all nice and neat.

My laugh for the day, thanks.

[DrunkenBoat]

53. The Latin founding fathers, Toe-mas & Ben-ya-meen.

[d_b]

54. lol shit

[TK421]

56. George WASHINton, TOMAS Jefferson, BENJAMINE Franklin...

this can't be serious...this has to be a joke..


OK..which DU'er was this?

[blueamy66]

58. Had to post this pic on FB

what a dill weed.......
