Probably burn it either way. Party!

Riots if he wins... blood in the streets if he loses...

Looks like Chicago's farked either way.

There goes that liberal media again!

Just those savage negroes will riot, as it is in their blood to do so, drawing from only the basest animal instincts from Darkest Africa.

It depends, are there cub fans involved?

 
bobbette [TotalFark] 2008-11-02 08:15:49 PM  
So... Obama winning will have about the same impact on people's psyches as a hockey or baseball team winning the prize.

Meh.

 
Fark It [TotalFark] 2008-11-02 08:18:15 PM  
Obama supporters aren't European soccer fans you limey douchenozzle.

/Forecast for Grant Park on Tuesday: 70 degrees, with a 95% chance of Republican tears and butthurt.

Good riddance.

All of my African American friends have been clearing space in their living rooms for their brand new televisions.

I'm not seeing this happening.

 
Kitwilly [TotalFark] 2008-11-02 08:34:08 PM  
I am confident the London daily Telegraph is dialed right in to the pulse of Chicago. The racism implied by everyone saying the blacks are going to riot is offensive. The Bulls won six championships and it was the white dorks flipping cabs on Division. The blacks just shoot their guns off.

 
Kublai Khan [TotalFark] 2008-11-02 08:39:16 PM  
Yes, yes, riots if Democrats win. They've been trying to sell this line for weeks now, when are they going to give up?

"OH NOES BLACK PEOPLE RUN!"

Wait for Ashley Todd to show up with a B carved on her other cheek claiming it was a large, black, muscular, well-hung rioter who also threw her on the ground and felt her up.

You know about Superdawg? That is around Nagle and Devon, not exactly a tourist location. I have relatives who live in Edgebrook and Sauganash, so I've had it before. Meh. Overpriced. You can get a good hot dog anywhere in Chicago.

Kitwilly: I am confident the London daily Telegraph is dialed right in to the pulse of Chicago.

But I came here to say what my doppleganger/alt said. If the London press really has the inside scoop on Chicago, this party needs to be moved to Englewood or Austin stat!

 
sigdiamond2000 [TotalFark] 2008-11-02 09:23:32 PM  
Barack Obama has not won yet of course, and he may not, but it occurs to me that his planned victory extravaganza in Chicago's Grant Park on Tuesday night could see his presidency off to a dreadful start.

This guy sounds really concerned.

 
ecmoRandomNumbers [TotalFark] 2008-11-02 09:30:50 PM  
Good. And you can take your crappy pizza with you.

/and don't forget to torch Oprah while you're at it.

We'll keep the deep dish as long as you keep your ketchup on a saltine thin crust.

A co-worker brought one back after he visited family there. Had to reheat the hot dog, but the relish they put on it was more than worth it. Ft Worth got a Pizzeria Uno not too long ago. It'll make you not ever want to go anywhere else(well, except Lombardi's).

 
Canadian Canuck [TotalFark] 2008-11-02 10:47:42 PM  
Maybe this time they will actually burn all of the city.

They write about this city as if we have some problem with violent crime.

I doubt there has been even one reported murder this year.

 
JimmyCarter'sSecondTerm 2008-11-02 11:21:02 PM  
Ok here is the plan.

Step 1. Vote for McCain.

Step 2. Tell exit pollster you voted Obama.

Step 3. Faulty predictions.

Step 4. Riots.

Step 5. Profit?

My friend's friend was dating a guy from Chicago up until a month ago. She had a date with him around 10/1 and was stood up. She was understandably upset and went to his home to find it completely emptied. On 10/17, she received a letter from her boyfriend explaining that he wished he could tell her why he had left and that he was sorry it had to be like that. The part worth mentioning is that he BEGGED her to avoid Obama supporters on the evening of November 4th, especially around Chicago.

I liked both these comments, so I thought I would quote them.

From the article: "There are 70,000 tickets for Grant Park but the city is expecting anything up to one million people to turn out."

We could pass out the first round of socialism checks that night, too -- just to piss off the repugnicans!

"...it occurs to me that his planned victory extravaganza in Chicago's Grant Park on Tuesday night could see his presidency off to a dreadful start....I hope none of this happens. Can you imagine how an incident would play into the hands of Obama opponents, bigoted or otherwise? The world will see, they may say, what happens when you elect a guy like him."

wa1.images.onesite.com

Yeah. THIS racist douchebag's not concerned or anything....

/would have expected the Daily Fail to print this....
//a guy like what, douchebag?
///probably wrote this during his 26-minute gym ride

 
McManus_brothers [TotalFark] 2008-11-02 11:24:24 PM  
Two friends of mine (both ardent Hillary/lukewarm Obama supporters) say they're going to spend Wednesday locked in their South Side apartment. Win or lose, that city is gonna go nuts.

Anyone got that picture of McCain looking at Palin and thinking "Goddamnit"?

 
Roceodr 2008-11-02 11:28:28 PM  
Well, it's not like Chicagoans will ever have a chance to riot over the Cubs winning the world series, so this might be the only chance they get...

 
RemyDuron 2008-11-02 11:28:36 PM  
I hope not, my parents will be there. White republicans like them will probably be lynched by all those nasty negros.

/Ridiculous.

as long as you don't have any bling on, you should be good to go.

Keep the air force ones home though

Win or lose, that city is gonna go nuts.

Regardless of who wins and who loses, this country is going nuts. Just my opinion.

I live in Arizona ... I'm staying the heck away from the KFC that night. Don't want no trouble.

 
FootInMouthDisease 2008-11-02 11:31:33 PM  
does chainmail count as bling?

or my g-unit kevlar? (kidding, i have a Stainless S&W .460Mag tho..)

so in case of 'uppity negroes' or zombie hordes, both of which are equally likely
