I know some stuff is kicking around but imagine if you knew that somewhere on the Internet there was a picture of you years ago smiling into the camera and being waaaay on the wrong side of history.

Skrill.exe posted:It sounds like your uncle really misses Osama Bin Laden Touché. Another "It came from Facebook" gem: A loving idiot posted:I was wrong, Obama did get something done he pushed for; said he would get a playoff system done in College football. Great job! I don't get it. And when you tell them things like, "He ended don't ask don't tell, he made healthcare more accessible, he signed legislation to make it easier for women to earn equal pay, he killed Osama Bin Laden, etc," they make it sound like you're splitting hairs. I'm sorry, but motherfucking conservatives. If you hate gay people, women, racial minorities or abortion so much that it will make you vote republican, at least have the balls to say so. Don't paint it as being influenced by the "failures" of someone else.

This is from a few pages ago, but I just want to point out that the whole #SandyLootCrew thing was a twitter tag invented by troll outfit "Gay friend of the family Association of America" to expose racial bias (aka flatout racism). Of course, infowars jumped on it, and other poo poo "journalists" also thought it was real immediately, even got picked up by the Daily Mail. So if you see people on facebook commenting on it, this should make it fairly easy to call them out (not that they'll listen). quote:"To sum it up, myself and a few members of the GNAA thought that it would be amusing to pretend to be looters,” said Mr. Kaiser, who claims to be a 19-year-old African-American male living in New Mexico. “One of us came up with the hashtag #SANDYLOOTCREW. We were making the most ridiculous tweets that we could think .. .people will believe literally anything, even us stealing cats."

So my high school's graduating class president and organizer of the nearly-botched ten-year reunion posted this magical diatribe. He also uses a fake name on Facebook because he's afraid of repercussions (surprisingly smart for the poo poo he throws up there about Obamaphones and health care):whackjob posted:Prediction: Romney Ryan win big...recounts demanded....supreme court rulings....riots..Romney sworn in..DOW hits 18,000 by 2015.... Russia and China respect America again...Iran fears us and destroys its centrifuges....Obama care repealed and people under 26 actually look for a job and start working.....2016: B.O. comes back in 2016 with a billion dollar+ war chest and defeats Hilary in a bitter primary fight as she becomes a laughing stock when Bill gets engaged with Monica and loses as the economy booms...Jimmy Carter dies drunk on his death bed a admits he's an anti-Semite....2020: Ryan defeats another "have-nots" candidate...B.O. admits he was born in Kenya and becomes secretary general of the UN and proposes a new world government....Ryan laughs at him and cuts US support to the UN....B.O moves the HQ of the UN from NY to Dubai in "retaliation" and proposes a world tax to support the UN and a global UN dollar and doesnt get it...B.O runs the U.N. to the brink of bankruptcy..Michelle.O gets a show sponsored by Oprah and the near broke O-network, leaves B.O., signs a deal with Doritos and blows up to 250 and expresses that for the first time she is happy in her country....2024: Romney takes over the UN and saves it from insolvency then dissolves the whole organization and tells then tells the world it is finally time to have a beer and drinks a 6-pack, gets drunk and admits he's awesome...by this time the gay sex scandal that Ahmadinejad is involved in will render Iran powerless as Gavin Newsome is elected their next president and playboy magazine and Jack Daniels will now be legal in the Arab world due to an aggressive duel marketing campaign by a plunging Playboy stock price due the accessibility of naked women on network television and pop-up internet adds in the US therefore there will be no more need to prevent wars and the US no longer buys Arab oil.... Ryan wins again and the U.S. gets its AAA rating back amid 6% growth, theoretically full workforce & DOW 25,000.... B.O. gets an honorary Reverend degree and renews his true profession as a community organizer/agitator where he will pick up his megaphone and fight for new toilets in public housing on the south-side and has a déjà vu moment when he walks down the aisle in a famous sermon televised by MSNBC at his old church next to Reverend Wright who he pushes down the aisle in a wheel chair because Ryan has by this time cut medicare enough that Reverend Wright will no longer be entitled to a motorized wheel chair from the tax payer and stands in front of the congregation and starts the sermon G-d drat America! Ah a fine bottle of wine on the eve of the election...I see it so clearly now... I wish this was a joke post by him. I really, really wish. Oh and this is Illinois of all places.

My mother is a font of talking points spouted by either right wing radio or the Catholic Church. She pretty much thinks Obama is the Antichrist. So much so, that she told her 85 year old neighbor, a family friend since my parents moved into the neighborhood in 1979 and my brother's Confirmation sponsor, that if he voted for Barack Obama he was going to hell because Obama is pro-Choice. I'd be surprised, but she already told me I was going to hell for rejecting the Church.

Brennanite posted:What is a "theoretically full workforce"? I think he means that unemployment is as low as it can reasonably go. You can't get unemployment to 0%, because there is always movement in the labor force, people moving from one job to another, etc. But who knows, it's such a bizarre, crazy, far-right wet dream. And so oddly specific, too. Whoever posted that (sorry, phone posting), I hope you can watch and see what happens tonight/tomorrow when this guy realizes he's got another 4 years of The Islamic Shock to deal with.

Not precisely on-topic but this has the right level of at least. I was voting this afternoon when I hear this guy behind me have this conversation with the lady manning the polling station help table: Guy: "Excuse me. I don't know what to do; I lost my wallet yesterday so I don't have an ID right now. Can I still vote somehow?" Poll worker: "No problem, sir. In California you don't need an ID to vote." Guy: "Oh, okay. But I really wanted to show you my ID. I think those laws are really important." Edit: Imapanda posted:"I hope Obama doesn't win, he want's those homosexuals to marry and spread their filth in the streets" Santorum is hell on our street maintenance crews.

I want to add the word Obamacare to Words I Never Want to Hear Again. You loving retarded monkeyshits, this is the SAME PLAN the GOP introduced years ago! Just because Obama and not Bush started it up again doesn't make it loving Obamacare! I had a loving crazy dream where, a few weeks ago, right after the second Presidential debate, a teenage girl hit all the news stations and said Romney was her father, and she had six brothers and sisters and two moms, and Romney kept them off somewhere in Utah or Arizona, and they were paid to keep quiet. DNA tests proved Romney had some extra wives and kids, but somehow, somehow, Fox News spun it that the two women were total sluts and Romney was tricked into being with both of them, and having seven kids with them. And somehow he still won the election.

Really the most important fact to counter it is that government spending has had lower growth under Obama than any President since Eisenhower. The debt is large not because he is overspending, but because the economy is bad and Republicans forced him to extend the Bush tax cuts. Yes, the debt is bad. Yes it's an issue. If you are comfortable being up front with your old man tell them that he was awfully quiet when Bush was running up the debt and spending without paying, and for him to suggest that a much more thrifty president is a big spender is dishonest.
