FishingWithFredo:
The dude talks on the radio 3 hours a day, five days a week, and this is what you have.

FAIL.

This link's for you, blind ideologist.

This is satire that is so close to the truth that I can't wait till some prominent right winger steps up and starts saying they actually think it.

Sadly, saying shiat this retarded is par for the right wing course anymore.

(profoundly bored)

ChickenTits: uhh, you don't have to look to far (new window). It's not like this is isolated. I'd call the birther movement pretty mainstream, guy.

Who was the first person to say Obama was born in Kenya?

I don't know. That's not really important. What is important is who ran with it even after being bludgeoned with the truth over and over again: The Birthers, who consist almost entirely of conservative retards who make up a huge percentage of the Republican party's base.

WhoIsWillo: psst.

it's satire.

It's damn hard to tell sometimes.

Tsunami Ditka: mekki: This is satire. It says so right in the tags at the bottom of the "article". Nice trolling, Subby. You already got a few Farkers.

I'm gonna take the Rush Limbaugh Defense:

"Okay, so it's been exposed as satire. But in every satire there's an element of truth, AND YOU KNOW THEY REALLY THINK IT!"

/nods triumphantly

Well played!

Ass Exploder: WhoIsWillo: psst.

Agreed. I double-checked to make sure it was an Onion article, but on the other hand, I can completely see people saying the things that were in that article and believe in what they say.

Now that's desperation

"Do you want me to keep going, because we're right in the middle of our annual verification of state capitals, and we're only on Kentucky."

I'm imagining them doing this. "Baton Rouge? Hmm... yes, yes it is. Des Moines? Well, that one gave us trouble last year so I took the liberty of looking it up ahead of time. It is indeed still the capitol."

Honestly, I feel stupid that I didn't recognize it as satire until: Hawaii is the only state with a royal palace, a fact that has caused many birthers to suspect that Obama will ultimately demand to be named King of the United States. I'm not sure if that says more about me or how crazy birthers are.

I think somebody must have copied this from the Onion (or something similar).

randomjsa: Who was the first person to say Obama was born in Kenya?

From what I've read it got started through a blog posting by Jim Geraghty that got picked up by Swift Boater Jerome Corsi.

What was your point? That the birfers aren't mainstream republicans? Good luck selling that pile of crazy.

New Internet Law (#96): If there is a dumb idea on the Internet, someone somewhere believes it is true.

I will bet dollars to donuts that somebody will say "Hm. Hawaii is an island...and it isn't connected to the mainland US...it didn't really become a state normally, right...by God, they're right! It isn't a state!"

You have an angry kitten hanging off your nads by its jaws.
What do you do?

A) stop pissing it off with your stupidity

B) attempt to pull it off despite the clamped-on teeth

C) distract it with---wait, what?? Plastic milk jug rings?

PC LOAD LETTER: FishingWithFredo: Would those be people who believe in the 10th Amendment, and believe that Congress is usurping rights it doesn't constitutionally have?

Please, by all means, count me as a Stater. And I'll count you as an idiot if you're not.

Yeah, we were much better off before the Pure Food and Drug Act, the Child Labor Laws, Minimum wage, the FDIC, FEMA and Social Security, seeing as every single one of those violate the 10th Amendment.

The sad part is that he probably un-ironically agrees with your statement. I've interacted with people like this in real life.

Damn, kitty, you're easy to please.
I need a lure and a big hunk of raw meat.

I know it's satire and all, but...

Hawaii does not have a straight line in its borders, which is required in order to obtain statehood.

I maintain that a state has a straight line in its borders if its border is piecewise-differentiable, since that means at some point it has a continuous derivative, which means that at some scale some point is colinear with the border's tangent. Since that's all of them, I rest my case.

FishingWithFredo: Curse of the Goth Kids: FishingWithFredo: LiberalWeenie: Oh, they didn't say it? Well we know they think it.

Is this my opportunity to again laugh at liberals who don't realize Rush Limbaugh was mocking them by throwing back in their face the exact phrase members of the media used about him and his utterly bogus "racist quotes?"

OK.

LOL, again.

1. Rush is right.
2. If Rush appears to be wrong, see item 1.


Explain to me where I said Rush was right.

Everybody on the left is making a big deal about his "but we know he thinks it" comment. If you don't know the genesis for that phrase, pay better attention.

Nah he's a douche all on his own.

I believe it's pronounced, "McDanlpooncrat".

Nah, that idiot has been here for a while.

My cat stole a nice chunk of steak off my fork this morning......Is that normal?

Has plenty of food (Meow Mix) and treats about.

Your cat was certainly a bold one to snag a bite from your
fork, but cats going for (nutritious meat type) people
food is perfectly normal :P

I had a cat with whom I would share almost all the food
I cooked, unless it was sweets. He would even eat the
green beans and carrots in the bit of stew I would dish
up for him.

My present Miss FatCat won't demand food from me much,
but she likes the occasional dab of mayo or spoonful
of chicken soup.

One Yankee friend of mine had a cat who snagged the whole
chicken off the kitchen counter, only to be forced to give
it back to her to be cooked, and another friend of mine
(the Finn) had the wee furry beastie at a friend's house where
he was visiting glom onto the steak he was getting ready to
cook for dinner.

The two Finnish carnivores in the second hunting/stealing
event ended up sharing bites of steak with each other.

Kittypie070: yay Caturday, you can threadjack anything with Caturday

Pfft. Gimme a mealworm and shut your cat yap before I spikes ya one.

I found it entirely plausable until the 2nd-to-last paragraph. The same conservatives (like, say, Sarah Palin and Taaaaahd!, as well as governor Perry of Texas) claim that they were not properly admitted into the union and thus are free to leave at any time.

OmniscientSean: I know it's satire and all, but...

But Mandlebrot showed that a border is a fractal, and thus, in general, non-differentiable. Therefore, no states have straight lines, and therefore the ratification of all fifty states is invalid. Someone call a constitutional convention.
