Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Wednesday, April 02, 2008

During Sen. Barack Obama's visit to the Italian Market here this morning, he was harassed repeatedly by a middle-aged man trying to get a photo with the Illinois senator. The extended contact was unusual, given the heavy security surrounding the candidate, and Obama was sufficiently frazzled that he lost his cool.

Didn't really see Obama "lose his cool". It's obvious anyone could pop a cap in our candidate, though....is this a portent of things to come?

Yeah, where is this "losing of cool" that I hear about?

Had that been me, his clocked would not needed additional cleaning for years. How about-Lets just duck into this empty room and deal with you.your picture.

See how kid glove like Obama is handled? If this was Chelsea, or Billybob it would be a be full frontal attack on how they lost their cool.

While I agree with DaveTheWave, they should have tasered the photo-hound, dude.


Obama Harassed by Pushy Photo Seeker


I didn't see him lose his cool. I would have decked the guy.
BTW, I don't think we've seen the last of that guy. I'm sure he'll be making the rounds at all the right-wing media outlets.

It turned out the man was an e-Bay seller

Fuckers are one step lower than the paparazzi.

From the description in the article it sounds like Obama more than kept his cool.

The ones with the egg on their faces are Obama's alleged security people.

Make them all meter maids and get some real professionals in there.

So sez Spud.

Spud has spake.

Be Well.

Methinks the secret service is not doing thier job. Should have shot the asshole. Okay, okay not shot, but they should have hauled his arse off to a deserted warehouse and "interrogated" him. Is it just me being paranoid but I get more and more worried about Obama's wellbeing the more likely it is that he is going to be the next POTUS.

No, yer not paranoid, LBD.

Spud's been hearing folks talk on the blogs about this very thing fer a while now.

Spud to the Powers-that-be:

Keep him safe, motherfuckers.

Keep Hope Alive.

Be Well.

Hey Spud - so I'm not paranoid the motherfuckers really are out to get me :)

I'm not paranoid the motherfuckers really are out to get me :)

~LBD

Yup, but in a good way.

In fact, if Spud didn't know you was happily married and such Spud would be one of 'em.

See wot happens when you post yer pic on the net?

All kinds of strange men start lusting after you in their hearts!

^_^

Spud means that with all respect!

Just sayin...

Yer hawt!!!

Be Well.

Seemed like Obama was being pretty nice about it since the guy had been stalking him all day.

Had he just been a voter asking for a photo at an appropriate time and place Obama probably would have done it.

The guy'd already gotten an autograph earlier in the day. I'd be a little spooked by him too.

Don't get all self righteous about the "e-Bay seller" there SpudDud(tm)....just because he thought your trailer was at the curb waiting for the trash hauler. Heck, it's not his fault he posted your junk on e-Bay.

This guy is an idiot if he's looking for something to sell on E-Bay. Go pester the Rev. Wright for a group picture in the pulpit.

RIDE ON

SPUD lives in one of the most expensive cities on the North American continent. I don't think trailers are even allowed. If they are they're worth a million like some of those on the ocean in Florida.

:-)

One "RV" park? That's the best you can come up with, C-Hole?

I am not an Obama supporter, but I dont see the issue here. The guy was bugging him, and Barry was simply fed up with it and dealing with the guy sternly. The level of easy access to him is also astounding, given the reported death threats.

On a separate note, it is humorous to see all the calls from the usual suspects in here, advocating the use of shooting, tasering, "enhanced interrogation techniques" against this guy. If Obie had been in the WTC, I guess waterboarding would not be the big issue it has become.

Uh, actually it said rv/trailer parks...

Calm down big guy... just fucking around with AU... he said: "I don't think trailers are even allowed."

Its just a joke... nothing to get your dreds in a knot about...

By the way, you haven't thanked me yet for keeping your lights on this month. I assume the welfare check cashed... Actually, no thank you is necessary, just the thought that your 17 babies from 8 different mothers will someday carjack me is thanks enough.

How's the weather in Idaho, C-hole?

Rob...Very good.

BTW, you know jo has never been with a woman.

Say hi to Mark Furman for me.

Funny... I-da-ho... Isn't that how your first baby's mamma introduced herself to you?

The way I see it, Obama's going to have to spend his life in a hamster bubble after he gets elected. Or maybe he's actually got real balls unlike most of those losers (W) who don't let a real person within a half mile of them.

obama will not get elected.

Suddenly, when the messiah Obama is involved, the freedom loving libs turn into little brown shirts. A flip-flop the likes of McCain and Kerry can be proud of.

What's with the media and calling people out on 'losing their control'. I can remember Bill Clinton giving one harassing reporter a stern talking to, and then the next day the media reports that he 'flipped out' on the guy.

The media is so full of shit these days.

"Suddenly, when the messiah Obama is involved, the freedom loving libs turn into little brown shirts."

Agreed. I think Nappyheadedho made the point above how use of deadly force and torture techniques suddenly becomes a viable option when someone is irritating Obama's apparently sensitive psyche. Let's hope the Iranians don't miff the poor little hothouse orchid if he gets elected.

No, one person said that. I don't seem to remember any "freedom loving Libs" defending the cops in the "Don't taze me 'Bro" incident.

Oh really, did anyone use "deadly force and torture techniques" in this incident, or was it handles peacefully without violence?
I thought so. But you keep making up little fantasies in your mind if that helps you get by each day knowing you're an asshat.

I just watched it again, if that had been a Bush rally, that guy would already have been tazed and in jail. It seems to me Obama was calm and reasonable.

that was like 6 blocks from my house. I bet I rode my bike right by there on the way to work and I didn't even notice. I'll bet Bush would have had a 10 block radius blocked off.

"Is it just me being paranoid but I get more and more worried about Obama's wellbeing the more likely it is that he is going to be the next POTUS."

The good Reverend Wright is the one who needs to worry. Didn't he refer to Italians as "garlic noses" or something. The Sopranos don't take kindly to that stuff.

Hey, TFD, you skim-and-respond mook. If you actually took the time to read the postings before blathering, you might see that we're talking about people advocating use of force, not the actual use of force in the incident.

Maybe this will help you:

Which means I understand what you are saying, but unless you have proof there is a widespread call for torture and violence on Obama's or any Dem's behalf, I'd like to see it. Otherwise you are just talking out of your ass.
And then I called you out on this statement you made, which I read carefully...

Posted by SE4NY6969


Which, once again, you have no actual proof of, just the word of another rightie blowhard. So if you care to show me where Dems/Liberals as a group (not just one individual) has called for or used "deadly force and torture techniques" then I will concede.

Have you ever watched that video? I seem to remember Kerry telling the cop to leave the guy alone. I agree he could have come off the stage and physically tried to stop the cop. But hey, maybe he has a little respect for cops and expected them to act in a decent, responsible way. What a sucker.

And yet I don't seem to remember distinguishing between who did what at Kerry's Q&A session.

All that matters is that you feel like you're making a point, and that's something you can be proud of.

I have no idea what this means. This conversation is about the accusation that Liberals/Dems are calling for violent ways to solve the problem of obnoxious people in crowds. I said I've never seen anyone but a few individuals on the Left call for this. You're the one who brought up John Kerry. If you can show me where Kerry or any Democratic leader has called for such action, I'd love to see it.

Where I clearly distinguish between who did what.

or this post...

Where I also clearly define who (the cop) did what.

"So if you care to show me where Dems/Liberals as a group (not just one individual) has called for or used "deadly force and torture techniques" then I will concede."

Oh, so now we're changing the rules here? It has been common practice here amongst the leftie blowhards to take the utterings of one rightie blowhard and extrapolate it as being representative of the beliefs of the whole group. But when I make the same sort of extrapolation from the postings of one or two leftie blowhards, you call foul? Typical leftie blowhard. Ooops, I mean, typical you.

I will make sure to point out to you the next time I see you generalize about conservatives. Should be within the next 30 or 40 minutes if you hold true to form.

"I have no idea what this means."

Of course you don't.

"This conversation is about the accusation that Liberals/Dems are calling for violent ways to solve the problem of obnoxious people in crowds."

For my part, I gave a facetious response to a probably facetious comment.

"I said I've never seen anyone but a few individuals on the Left call for this. You're the one who brought up John Kerry."

Only because a person actuallly did (not hypothetically 'would') get tazed at a Kerry Q&A session (as opposed to the hypothetical 'Bush rally') for simply asking a question.

"If you can show me where Kerry or any Democratic leader has called for such action, I'd love to see it."

I can't find where I said they did.

Good day, and nice 'debating' you.

I will make sure to point out to you the next time I see you generalize about conservatives. Should be within the next 30 or 40 minutes if you hold true to form.

You go ahead and do that. In fact, just click on my name and you'll see all my previous posts. If you can find one where I berate all cons for what one person says, I'd love to see it.

And this statement...

I think Nappyheadedho made the point above how use of deadly force and torture techniques suddenly becomes a viable option when someone is irritating Obama's apparently sensitive psyche.
Posted by SE4NY6969


To me, implies that an action has taken place, that someone has done this.


"If you can show me where Kerry or any Democratic leader has called for such action, I'd love to see it."

Posted by LIVE_OR_DIE

Try the sentence right before that one...

Only because a person actuallly did (not hypothetically 'would') get tazed at a Kerry Q&A session .... for simply asking a question.

You are implying that Kerry endorsed or ordered this action, which he clearly did not.

I might add that the large majority defending the tazing action at the Kerry Q&A were not liberals.

"You are implying that Kerry endorsed or ordered this action, which he clearly did not."


Posted by TFDNihilist


Nope.

You are reading what you want to see, and/or putting words in my mouth (keyboard?).

I just said it was a Kerry Q&A session, as opposed to your hypothetical 'Bush rally.' Anything else you try to put in there is your own, not mine.

I know you probably still won't understand this (special ed has failed you), but let me try one more time:

I countered the 'Bush rally' statement with an example of someone being tazed at a Democratic event. It wasn't to imply that Democrats advocate forced suppresion of dissent, but that your black and white world of people being tazed at Republican events while nothing of the sort happens at Democrat events just doesn't work.

"I might add that the large majority defending the tazing action at the Kerry Q&A were not liberals.

Posted by TFDNihilist"


I'm sure you can quantify this "majority" with some actual evidence that that was the case.

Lacking that, what I saw here (not knowing the scope of your statement) was people splitting up not based on political ideology but on whether or not they personally thought the questioner was acting appropriately, liberal or otherwise.

If you can find one where I berate all cons for what one person says, I'd love to see it.

I only had time to quickly scan your recent postings.


As usual, righties come out to piss on the working folks.

I love it. that's always the righties' way.

Now, in the course of completing this assignment, I must admit that as I read through your postings, you are less extreme and vitriolic in your overall postings than many in here on both sides. I still disagree with most of what you say, but for laying a broad brush on you, I feel I should apologize.

And now, as we sit around the campfire, let's all join hands and sing "Kum-by-yah".....

but for laying a broad brush on you, I feel I should apologize.

Thanks, I admit I am capable of hyperbole like millions of others. Guilty as charged.

One thing I really try to stay waway from is the personal insults and the "messing with the person's name" game. I read in a book by Vonnegut that when you use divisive language, then your opponent tends to focus on the language and not the message. That makes a lot of sense to me.

I'll make a blanket statement right now, your ability and willingness to research your point and then admit when you may not have been right puts you miles ahead of most of the "righties" that post here. Kudos. You seem to be a recent addition to the asylum. Hope you stick around.

But it's more than a name, it's a philosophy. I see the direction the human race is going and I couldn't care less if the whole thing collapses in its own filth. Tear it all down.
