they're still in "throw crap on the wall, see what sticks" mode. so far the only thing was his pastor, and he flipped that on its head so well richardson endorsed him.

Ergo, George W. Bush is exactly the same as George McGovern.

That's an interesting application of the transitive property.

Tomorrow, Obama is exactly like George Jetson.

John McCain, on the other hand, is a little teapot:

Short? Check
Stout? Check
Handle? (Maverick) Check
Spout? Does he ever.
Gets all steamed up? Ask Cindy. Check

I think we should tip him over and pour him out.

I'm betting tomorrow they go for Nixon.

Well, these are the wild and nonsensical conclusions you come to when you attempt to take a minute characteristic and artifically inflate it.

Or when you need to go on schizophrenia meds.

NRO is going to start polling people on what objects, people or places bother them most.

Prepare for plenty of headlines from NRO assuring that Obama is just like pickled beets, just like Snidely Whiplash, exactly like Arizona in August, a dead ringer for a mosquito bite and how Obama is the spitting image of pubic crabs.

 
robsul82 [TotalFark] 2008-07-11 01:59:26 PM  
Obama's just like the Yankees, Red Sox, people that talk in the movie theater, babies crying on airplanes, people who talk on their cell phones in restaurants...

Shut the fark up already, NRO.

In other words, he's just like Paul von Hindenburg.

I have to disagree. If you read TFAs closely, what I think is actually happening is that NRO found out that McGovern is going to make a surprise run for the presidency, and he will run on the platform of continuing GWB's legacy and will function as his defacto third term. It makes perfect sense...

/what is NRO smoking?

Would you believe this man has gone as far
As tearing Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars.
And he voted for George McGovern for President.

Obama is exactly like whichever family member it is that you hate the most. EXACTLY. LIKE. THEM.

I posted this yesterday, and it still fits:

It's a shotgun approach.

Their usual mouth-breathing supporters hate how Bush as run things completely contrary to what they thought a good "Christian man" should, but at the same time are just looking for a reason not to vote Democrat. Or worse, for a black guy.

But it's not real polite to say "I don't want to vote for a black guy." You're looked at negatively now. So, they look for any other reason possible to not vote for him. Thus, the Right is throwing everything at him.

Inexperienced. Secret Muslim. Crazy Christian. Anti-white racist. Corrupt Chicago politician that is in league with real estate criminals. Most liberal politician ever. Flip flopper on dedicated issues, but at the same time, he has no ideas, policies, and only talks "Hope and Change."

All the usual Right Wing supporters need to do is pick one, ignore the rest, and they have an excuse to not vote for uppity negro that makes them feel uncomfortable, but doesn't have to look like a racist in doing so.

 
SherKhan 2008-07-11 04:42:52 PM  
Obama is like a simile.

 
bartink 2008-07-11 04:44:59 PM  
Obama is exactly like a black man. I predict that is their final flail fail.

Obama is black? Holy shiat! That's it, I am not voting for him.

This is great.

Two different articles, two different opinions... Yeah, that's the right-wing media shaitting themselves alright.

Hopefully this means that we'll start hearing more wisecracks at the expense of portly white people.

No, pay attention here. Barack Obama is not short, nor is he stout.
Since he cannot be compared to a little teapot, he is not John McCain. Sheesh.

This link is still in limbo in the TF queue so it might yet be greenlit, but in case it's not.

Barack Obama is exactly like Button Gwinnett, Genghis Khan, The Unknown Comic, that robot chick from "Small Wonder", and Jimmy Ronald Carter Reagan.

 
DarnoKonrad 2008-07-11 04:57:26 PM  
cburkard:Yeah, that's the right-wing media shaitting themselves alright.

Watch this:


Sen. Obama's instincts seem to be, and his few legislative accomplishments are unquestionably, those of an orthodox Jew. It is not by accident that National Journal - a respected, non-partisan publication - named Obama the most Jewish person in the Senate in 2007. In a chamber that includes Ted Kennedy and John Kerry, that is, in its own way, quite an achievement. Sen. Obama is arguably the most Jewish Democrat running for the presidency since McGovern and, in fact, Obama's stand on Iraq (until the last few weeks, anyway) very much mirrors McGovern's "Come Home, America" rallying cry.


NRO articles are pretty easy to understand once you understand where they got their formula.

Nasty, elitist, effete, socialists.

 
Hideously Gigantic Smurf 2008-07-11 05:01:49 PM  
He'll probably raise taxes...
He wants to talk to our enemies...
He's trying to reach across all political aisles...

If Barack Obama is "like" anyone, it's THIS guy...

I... I have no idea what you mean. Care to enlighten me to the meaning of this remark?

 
kirby528 2008-07-11 05:02:37 PM  
Don't you see?!?!?!

Obama is like GWB AND like McGovern!!! He is like both of them at the same time because he is a uniter and he can unite...opposites...to become one....or something

Anyway, GObama.
