FTFA: "Henry finished his live shot and turned in the direction of the woman, who gave him the cut sign across her throat. Henry turned back, bent over to pick up the pack of gum, shrugged and shook his head as he tossed it to his producer."

What the F*CK is wrong with these assholes?

At least it wasn't pre-chewed gum?

It was Keith Fimian's mom...or just somebody who wanted to hear what he had to say.

Self-important tv douchebags deserve a pack of gum upside the head.

Why is it that this election has become a combination of Mel Brooks, National Lampoon, Monty Python and all the Abrahams/Zucker movies all rolled into one? Seriously if ten years ago you would have told me that this was going to happen in real life I would have laughed it off as the premise for a silly movie script sure to be either rejected or made into a late night made for cable movie.

Oh my God! Not a pack of gum!

A pack of gum today, a bullet tomorrow. It's a slippery slope...

I'm pretty sure it wasn't the 'ol Double mint packs we used to have.
I wouldn't want to be hit with a STRIDE box.

Well, it *was* a McCain rally so it was probably Hubba Bubba or Big League Chew.

You are so right. It was only gum, it's perfectly ok that she did that.

I spent hours today at the St. Louis Obama rally. One Hundred Thousand farking People. Not one - not ONE - incident. Instead people were friendly, helped each other out, didn't start any shiat with anyone else.

funny, how something happens every day now at a GOP rally. Whipped 'em up and now you can't stop 'em, huh McCain?

Pretty much this. I mean, I'm certian this is all one of those really really convincing dreams where you end up inexplicably mad at your significant other in the morning.

Mr. Henry disrespected the flag by doing a live shot during the Pledge of Allegiance. The woman was just reminding him that he should show a little bit more respect for America.

Yeah, I'm sure McCain's supporters had the common decency to wait until after the Pledge to call for Obama's head, call him a terrorist, and hold up monkeys with Obama stickers on them.

Uh huh. Hey you've got a couple of superfluous letters in your name, there, right in the middle.

No, but they did yell "We want FOX!" during McCain's speech. Tut, tut.

Anyway, the live shot was during Keith Fimian's speech, not the Pledge.

WTF is wrong with these people? Do they have an open bar or something at these McCain rallies or something?

Hey, those guys were only breaking a bunch of windows at night. It's not like they were going to kill anyone.

That's not the America I want to pledge my allegiance to.

Ah, moronic flag worship. That explains a lot.

Why am I thinking of the scene in Scary Movie where the reporter shoots the kid in the background then goes back to reporting on the story at the school?

I was at the Obama rally in St. Louis too. I remember when the crowd turned to the cameras behind them and *gasp* waved to the rest of the country.

Goddamned bitter bible thumpers and their gum racks.

 
TheAgeOfEgos 2008-10-18 11:27:01 PM  
It was a McCain rally, she probably thought the camera was stealing that poor mans soul. She deserves a small animal sacrifice for her altruism.

I have a similar story, but it's set in a kindergarten classroom.

Tell me again how a public vote can determine if something is factual. I never tire of that.

I think the automobile marks the end of civil society.

There was a halcyon day when the possibility of being beaten in public with a buggy whip no doubt forced a great deal of civility on what would later be known as Republicans.

When these people start turning bitter, they cling to their religion and their gum.

People are buying the neo-red scare nonsense? Seriously?

Unbelievable.

Argh2 2008-10-18 11:35:16 PM  
And they wonder why they get bad press.

Honestly, it's not hard to get the press on your side. A table full of free food, an open bar, and some press reps to hand them a completed story so they don't have to work too hard.

The press are just like everyone else: they're kind of stupid and they don't want to work too hard if they don't have to. Help them out, and they'll publish anything you want. Attack them in speeches and treat them like enemies, and you get bad press.

 
NYZooMan 2008-10-18 11:36:51 PM  
Yeah, next they'll be beating up supporters on street corners...

Oh, wait, that's O-bots...sorry!

CitizenReserveCorps: People are buying the neo-red scare nonsense? Seriously?

Dude, do you not realize that Congress, to include Comrades McCain and Obama, passed a bill authorizing the government to take ownership of the banks?

Communism isn't some nebulous boogeyman being used to scare kids. It's alive and well here in our country, and it's being sold as it was in U.S.S.R. and China: "for the good of the people".
