Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, November 17, 2011

The president of the University of Texas College Republicans joked on Twitter about shooting President Barack Obama. "Y'all as tempting as it may be, don't shoot Obama," Lauren E. Pierce said in her tweet. "We need him to go down in history as the WORST president we've EVER had!" She's been asked to resign from leadership positions in that group and the statewide Texas College Republicans.

Poor choice of words, to be sure. He won't 'go down in history as the worst President ever', but, IMO he'll be far from the best.

We need him to go down in history as the WORST president we've EVER had!

Translation;

'WE know, but don't speak it out loud, that Bush 2 has, by any measurable metric, passed carter at full speed to become the worst prez ever. We also know that if one of the repub candidates becomes prez they will easily pass bush 2, so we really really really need obama to be worse, even if we have to lie, cheat and steal to make it so'.

Really? How long did it take you to think that one up?

I bet you are still patting yourself on the back.

He's a bad president but worst ever? He's not even the worst of this young century and it ain't close.

B-I-M-B-O and Bimbo was her name-o

I remember Ann from back when she almost used to be a female.

Any Texan unaware of George W. Bush's position as Worst President in the history or even the future should resign because she's too stupid to serve.

Lol...Bush has surpassed Carter? That was the funniest thing I have heard all day.

You have rotten fruit in your head instead of a brain....

What a fucking moron you are.

Moron! Stupid moron! Tempting to shoot the President? WTF is wrong with this girl? And she is in college?!

People, lets start with one term presidents when we look at worst presidents ever.

Yeah but is she hot?

What a fucking moron you are.

"Moron" is being kind. She is a lib, Florida voter and potential juror...

Worst ever is Taft; it really is not debatable at all.

Epic failure, but one of the best Chief Justices of the Supreme Court ever.

No one with a mustache that epic could be all that bad.

Hmm...Stupid AND Blonde...
who would have thought?

worst ever...G. Dumbya...
hands down...

he gave us this mess,
which Rethugs just love to
have amnesia over...

"Lol...Bush has surpassed Carter?"

Carter was just an ineffective pussy who failed to act during some pretty bad times. Bush actively made this worse during some pretty bad times. Its not even close. Carter didn't kill thousands of Americans by lying us into a war, for example.

lol, what a puss.

Oh, and fuck stick, I'm assuming you're going to assign a position to me based on the above flag so let me clarify for you, I still give Bush the biggest share of the blame.

Now by all means flail your limp wrists and pretend your party had nothing to do with it.

FTA: "This is going to make people sit back and think, 'Hey, I need to think before I post this," Chapman said. "What you say on Twitter is very public and can reflect on yourself and the organization you represent."

Have we taken this too far? Are we over-obsessing with anything and everything people say that might be taken in a bad light?

I think so.

Was her joke in questionable taste? Sure, I suppose. But, hey, she did say NOT to shoot, right?
But for her organization to get that panty-twisted is a bit much, I think.

Besides, I think it's far worse to "need" for a president to be, in her words, "the worst...ever".

Sigh...once again, let's go over the rules for Haiku.

Have we taken this too far?

No. Joking about shooting the president is in extremely bad taste and requires investigation by the Secret Service.

Nope....both sides are at fault...
sorry to disappoint DIE OR LIVE...

but seriously...Trickle Down...Supplied Side...
the G.O.P. mantra for like 30-40 years...

the G.O.P. more at fault...

G. Dumbya may have been a tool of
Darth Chenney, but that's still no
excuse...

course he should have never been the POTUS
in the first place...Gore 2000'

(i just loves pissing off the G.O.P.)

so easily riled...

"Carter was just an ineffective pussy who failed to act during some pretty bad times." Yeah he wasn't smart enough to make secret deals to sell the Ayatollah missiles for the release of thehostages after the election and inauguration. Reagan shouldn't have moved into the WH, he should have moved into Levenworth.

p.s. Happy Turkey Day...

It is in bad taste, but the joke was not about shooting, but about it being tempting. The tweet in question said "don't shoot Obama".
You may not see a difference, and neither may the Texas College Republicans, but I do.
Regardless of what the Secret Service thinks or does, I'm refering to the court of public opinion.

This is a nice diversion from the issue of the day. That being that you actually had an OWS loon take real shots at the President already.

Lol...Bush has surpassed Carter? That was the funniest thing I have heard all day.

FTFY

GWB isn't even the worst President over the last 5 years Danni.
Catch a clue.

"GWB isn't even the worst President over the last 5 years Danni."

Only a person who sees zero (or negative) value in the lives of our servicemen could believe this.

Time to let Texas secede and give them back to Mexico. Going down as the worst state ever.

This is just a parody of the folks who believe "you fired the first shot" crosses the line, right?

As far as bad presidents go, look at Wilson and FDR, they both put thousands of American citizens in concentration camps, Wilson being the more insidious. He had a private army of endorsers, (that Hitler later patterned the Gestapo on), that imprisoned any one foolhardy enough to voice dissent or disagreement- even in private conversations in their own home. The "progressives" have always had a convenient memory. I suppose the eugenic movement was from the far right. Only in the twisted view of the revisionist historians.

I guess all those Snow Birds, (economic refugees) down here from the rust belt are stupid to come here to get jobs. We do appreciate all the industry that California has been exporting to us tho.

another rtard brainiac exposed...

"We need him to go down in history as the WORST president we've EVER had!"

WE NEED....yeah, obviously she cares more about getting power back than the welfare of the United States. She'll go far in conservative circles.

"We need him to go down in history as the WORST president we've EVER had!"

Sorry, sweetcheeks, Dubya has that honor locked away. Short of nuking America, no President could do worse.

Moron! Stupid moron! Tempting to shoot the President? WTF is wrong with this girl? And she is in college?!

#11 | Posted by kanrei

Kanrei--look at the OWS people--and they supposedly HAVE college degrees!

She is an idiot all the same.

I don't want Obama shot--I want him voted out!!

Then the Republican POTUS implements common sense policies creating the environment for the country to grow prosperous again.

And Obama has a front row seat to see it all be great again!

The "progressives" have always had a convenient memory.

#34 | Posted by docnjo

Convenient? What FDR allowed to happen to the Nisei was the nadir of his presidency. But you have to have a "convenient memory" to overlook so studiously the context of the times in which he took that action.

It's a fascinating and complex story. One you'll sit on your ass smelling your own farts rather than learn.

FDR was a great man. Hoover, who paved the way for FDR, was a good and intelligent individual who sat on his ass during a crisis and projected having no clue (though I'm pretty sure he did not fart-sniffing). A failure, in other words.

Buchanan will be the WORST president in Amercian history until someone else can connive at presiding over the dissolution of tHe Union. It wouldn't suprise me that the jackass Young Republican in this article never heard of him.

That being that you actually had an OWS loon take real shots at the President already.

You mean the rightwing nut from Idaho, who thought Obama was the anti-Christ? What are you smoking Dr_2Dumb?

What's next, OWS had WMD?

Reality and the right.....

Then the Republican POTUS implements common sense policies creating the environment for the country to grow prosperous again.

It worked well under Dubya, right Muffy? Flushed 8 years of Democratic success down the toilet in less than a year. And the klowns running for the GOP make Dubya look only half-retarded.
Aren't you afraid President Romney will outsource rightwingnut blog posting to China? It's about the only thing he hasn't.

Please. Don't anyone shoot Obama. Then we would have Biden. Of course, he would not have the clout Obama has, but no telling what Biden would do.

During George Bush's administration there were books and movies about assassinating President Bush.

The left said it was just "free speech" and "artistic license".

Can we all just spell POLITICAL IDOALOGUES.

What phonies. Always looking to be the victims. Always looking to be offended.

"Can we all just spell POLITICAL IDOALOGUES. "

Clearly, no.

"Clearly, no."

Indeed... that's called "fiction".

"Day of the Jackal" was about assassinating the President of France... should Forsythe have been arrested?

Heck, Tom Clancy killed most of the US Government in one book.

I've wondered if Al Qaeda didn't get the idea for 9/11 from Sum Of All Fears. That was one of the first thoughts I had the morning of 9/11.

It is in bad taste, but the joke was not about shooting, but about it being tempting. The tweet in question said "don't shoot Obama".

It's more than bad taste because of the "reason" for not doing it, "tempting as it may be". Reason for NOT doing it was that they needed him to go down as the worst pres in history. Not that shooting someone is a bad thing. You may not see the difference, but most everyone else does.

AmericanUnity, I think you're thinking of one of the later books, The Bear and the Dragon maybe? Something about Japan getting squeezed for Oil and a rogue pilot flying a jet liner into the capitol building during some event and wiping out pretty much the whole Govt.

Thinking back it's interesting that one of the first things they did with the new Govt was to do away with the old tax code. One of the symbolic things was that during a hearing to discuss the tax code, someone placed the entire printed tax code onto a table and it collapsed under the weight.

In Sum of All Fears it was a plot to set off a nuke while the Pres was attending the Superbowl.

Anyway. Time for work.

Laters,

Loh

Is this woman crazy? She clearly hasn't thought this out.
No one in their right mind is tempted by the concept of "President Biden".

Yet another twattish tweeter on Twitter loses a job with a dumb post and proves once again that if you are high on alcohol, drugs or right wing politics stay away from Twitter till you get back to normal again.

“It’s never funny to joke about such a serious matter,” Pierce tweeted. “I have learned a very valuable lesson.”

And just think, it only took her twenty-one years.

Only a person who sees zero (or negative) value in the lives of our servicemen could believe this.

Unless it is Boeing getting uneeded or questionable military contracts, as you value the lives of the troops? Which in your case means NEVER having to engage?

#47 | Posted by Lohocla

You're right. I named the wrong Clancy novel.

It was Debt Of Honor where the Japanese pilot flew the jumbo jet into the Capitol.

#51 | Posted by crispee_oc

I know it is very hard for one so simpleminded as yourself to contain to two seemingly contradictory thoughts in their brains at one time but one can support the troops yet not support war.

"I know it is very hard for one so simpleminded as yourself to contain to two seemingly contradictory thoughts in their brains at one time but one can support the troops yet not support war."

Especially when it wasn't retard dooner who wrote it but Drudge's Sally. Meaning stfu Trig, you have no clue or reason to open your yap.
