Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

Thursday morning Drudge Report prominently featured a photo of Michelle Obama flashing the "black power" hand sign to a group of onlookers and media. The hand sign came into prominence, and became associated with the Black Panther radical movement of the 1960's.

If the headline link no longer leads to the Drudge Report's page showing Michelle Obama, you can view the picture that was displayed on Drudge at the following link www.freewebs.com

....and the article accompanying the picture was about how Michelle is going to be staying at home for the near future. GO FIGURE.

Now we know why all of the preemptive "leave my wife out of this" talk from the Obammy.... ;-)

wow you are an idiot

you know those super duper ultra lefts you hate

you are more idiotic

That is the "the 'black power' hand sign"???

Hmmm....


When I look at that picture I see a generic fist-pump indicating some sort of victory.

I have no love for the Obamas but this is absurd.

you know those super duper ultra lefts you hate

OK - but he doesn't wear a towel on his head and refer to it as 'fashion'.

:-)

As I recall, Dubya gave that exact sign on his way to the stage to announce the invasion of Iraq. He also gave it to the G8 last week.

Oh, but he's not a negro demoncrat.

Never mind.

What pantload came up with that one? You wanna see a "black power hand sign"?

Here's a "black power hand sign": www.flickr.com

Oh, wait, here's the Mushroom Power hand sign from the 2008 Mushroom Kingdom Olympics www.flickr.com

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid

I never realized that my body-languate response to Bush winning in 2004 was a 'black power hand sign'.

OMG!!!!
Fredo has uncovered a plot by the Obamas to get him elected and then to enslave the white race. I hope my overseer is a kind one. Thank you Fredo, thank you fellow KKK members for me too. You guys are always there to point out the dangers of allowing black folks vote and run for office.

My lady a gangsta.

doc.

i love that mushroom power hand sign :)

"I hope my overseer is a kind one."

Gets hot out in those fields in summer, no never mind what kind of overseer you got overseeing you, Danni.

Me, I'm auditioning for some lighter work up in the big house, gonna be the house boy in charge of the fans or maybe the lemonade stand.

So every time Tiger sinks an important putt, he's flashing a black power sign?

How odd.

"So every time Tiger sinks an important putt, he's flashing a black power sign?"

I believe when he does it it is actually the BlackThaiWhiteNativeAmerican Power sign.

I always construed it as the "I am the best golfer in the world" sign.

i always construed it as "hey, stay out of the way while i'm cleaning my fist" sign - wouldn't want it to accidentally go off!

quite frankly, i thought more of her left hand clenched so tightly it looked as though the bones were going pop through the skin.

Fuck.. I didn't even know I was in the Black Panthers.. Wish someone would have told me because it would have explained a lot of shit.

what's wrong with the hugely popular "wave" , or even the Clintonesque "thumbs up"?

NOPE not miss Obammy...it's gotta be the BLACK POWER sign. Wake up, people.

Speaking of hand signs, one of my favorites:

"it's gotta be the BLACK POWER sign."

Do you even KNOW what the Black Power sign looks like? Doesn't appear so from your posting.

But I do understand Cindy McCain has been working on a sign of her own - you know, just in case...

This whole hysteria surrounding the Obamas is getting embarrassing. You rightwing whackos making this "black panther" shit up are doing us all a dis-service.

Black Panther salute my ass. She was cleary shaking her fist at the white reporters threatening to "fuck dem white devils up proppa".

Sanantonio - I think that was John, not Cindy, dude.

Fredo the Feeb - consistently racist, to say the least.

Do you still feel that great elation now? Do you think Bush was better for America than Kerry? Are you proud of your vote and do you want 4 more years of the same?

Or do you think McCain will be different?

Lighten up BB. He was poking sarcastic fun at the morons who think Michelle was flashing the black power sign.

HOW do you explain THIS:

www.freewebs.com

This is absolutely a front page Blog.

WTF.

Gee Feebie, you don't think that "Black Power" label might have been photoshopped in do you?

Nahhhhh.

N. I do not have Photoshop on my PC at work.

You cannot deny she is making the black power sign in THAT picture , though. Can you.

"N. I do not have Photoshop on my PC at work."

I didn't say YOU did it, Feebie.

"You cannot deny she is making the black power sign in THAT picture , though. Can you."

Yes. Goodness knows NO ONE ever closes their fist to emphasize a point during a speech.

Feeb.

Even if she is using the hand gesture that originated in the black power movement, so what? that doesn't mean that she is using it to convey the same message.

And, again, even if she were, so what? Obama's candidacy in a large way represents the culmination of what that movement was all about.

"...that "Black Power" label might have been photoshopped..."

Note "Black Power" isn't even centered.

And no one would use blue-screen blue in that situation, it would screw with background graphics.

Actually if you look down the page, Tony Snow is also making the black power hand sign.

What the hell is up with that?

i just got the blue screen of black panther death in windows

bill gates that silly black panther!

"Actually if you look down the page, Tony Snow is also making the black power hand sign."

LOL! Nice catch 726!

Just when you think it isn't possible to make Fredo the Feeb look even more stupid.... WHAM!!

Fredo is batshit crazy.

I never realized that my body-language response to Bush winning in 2004 was a 'black power hand sign'.

Funny flag.

Holy crap, this black power conspiracy is much more than even I suspected...

www.crooksandliars.com

Run Fredo, run as fast as you can! They're all around you! Don't look back - just run... RUN!

726, that's a FF!

I actually have quite a dark complexion,
FYI.

I am originally from the south of Spain.

I am not afraid of darkies. Just trying to point out where the Obammy agenda may lie. that is all.

This is a good DR thread- thanks to all of the concerned citizens who contributed.

Gotta go prepare the bomb shelter.

You know.

For the race war.

"I am originally from the south of Spain."

Oh Lord, a self-loathing Moor.

Good grief--there is too much time between now and the election...


FF for the photos..

I had to add this one.

Poor guy.

Nevertheless, that IS the black power sign.


sigh.

Suddenly the "black power" hand sign is a gang sign too?

Wow, when Fredo C decides to post a thread and make an ass of himself he don't do it by half measures.

From assertions of terrorist "fist bumps" to "black power gang signs" Playdough C's inherent racist slant on things (borrowed in large part from the right wing smear machine) becomes apparent.

Spud thinks Matt Drudges's inclusion of the Michelle pic just ties in with his alleged luff of fists.

(and Gerbils)

Aha! That's a breakthrough.

Be Well.

Seriously?

People can't be this fucking stupid can they?

*glances up at Fredo_C's post*

Fredo. Do you have a note or something reminding you to breath written somewhere that you'll notice it ever few seconds?

This image is edited to have the words "Black Power"

Only an idiot would buy that she gave a speech from a podium with the words Black Power plastered to the front of it.

"This image is edited"

Didn't the GOPiggies do something similar with Kerry the last time around?

WTF is the matter with these people?

She certainly looks Angela Davis mean.

They are out there and many of them could be inspired to vote but such antics.

"Here's an uinedited pic "


Oh yeah...now that is relevant.
Way to put'em in their place.

Better get that sore spot taken care of, kerrin57, before the itch turns into a full-blown rash.

Oh sweetie...to tell you the truth...I am real cranky and sore. Been picking and processing our blueberries for two days now.
Too damned tired to itch or scratch....but I'll be with ya all day.

Laura Bush - homegirl pumps for Black Power

How ridiculous to ridicule Michelle Obama for doing the same thing with her fist. The "Black Power" sign in the original pic looks photoshopped.

FredoC

Stop wasting our time reporting on phony stories.

I happened to remember the picture on the DrudgeReport you were talking about (and trying to pass off on here) which you say is no longer on that website.

I went back into yesterday's Drudge Report archives and found the REAL PICTURE of Michele Obama. This was the real photo -- not the stupid photoshopped one you put up. Give me real news to comment on or don't waste my time.

"Been picking and processing our blueberries for two days now."

Sounds like you're in a jam.

Been picking and processing our blueberries for two days now.

I'll bet they're delicious picked fresh. Do you sell jams and jellies on a website or anything?

"Do you sell jams and jellies on a website or anything?"

Nah, just apples: students.ou.edu

calif chris dumbfuck go to my link again and scroll down. I never tried to edit the drudge picture
I display the same one you did

scroll down, meathead.

BLACK POWER MY BRUTHA!!!

You know it's a little dissappointing not a single lefty picked up on the fact that this was a sarcastic joke, I mean it's true I hate the obamas, but this was supposed to be kind of tongue in cheek....

Mea culpa, Fredo.
I was in a cranky pre-a.m. coffee mode.
For a novelty, next time I'll read before posting. I only scan the thread sometimes.

correction: should be no italics for "Fredo"

Dumb issue--sighhhhh.....

hey murphy I wish this whole thread would just dissappear. I saw almost zero participation in good natured goofing around by my friends on the right.
Just a bunch of leftards admonishing me for being stupid, as If I really think the Drudge picture was the black power sign. Oh well.

TGIF
