Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

A new online computer game attempts to capitalize on the current strain of right-wing paranoia and activism, embodied by Glenn Beck's televised blustering and the Tea Party protests, by allowing players to inhabit a world of the near-future that represents a conservative nightmare.

The game, called "2011: Obama Coup Fails," is hosted by a website called The United States of Earth, and according to David Corn of Mother Jones, it was developed by "a small group of Ron Paul-loving libertarians living in Brooklyn."

In the game's scenario, 20 million armed American "patriots" begin seizing local and federal government offices. These are the same people whose earlier Tea Party protests had been ignored and dismissed by the mainstream media. Now, they post bounties for government employees. There's fighting in every state. Meanwhile, Lou Dobbs has been disappeared, and Glenn Beck has been found dead of an "aspirin overdose." Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, Sean Hannity, and Bill O'Reilly have been rounded up, and Fox News forcibly shut down. The US military refuses to come to Obama's rescue. His loyalist forces of 40,000 end up controlling merely three counties in Virginia, while an allied force is in charge of three counties near Washington, DC. The Federal Reserve also controls two of its own counties, as does the Cong (the remnants of the Democratic Congress). A collection of pro-Obama black nationalists and Islamic fundamentalists have a hold on two counties. What can you do as a player? You can join the patriots trying to capture Obama and defeat the Cong.

If figures. If Obama disolved congress Taxman and his ilk would just accept it and even welcome it.

And as far as the military is concerned, their job is to protect the Constitution, not the current occupant of the White House if he were to disolve Congress. In this scenario, the Obama "loyalists" would actually be traitors to the Constitution.

I remember the loons that thought George W. Bush would remain President through some sort of emergency.

They were fucking insane to think that Americans would allow that and anybody thinks that Americans would let Barack Obama do that would be insane as well. Maybe 5% of the most liberal people ever would but even that number may be a little high.


Also: My spell checker doesn't have Barack or Obama as a correct word. Is there a way to update the spell checker not just for browsers but also for MS Office and shit?

How pathetic can a bunch of losers get?

Oh-right-here they are.......playin' a silly little fantasy game.

"Looneytarians"...Poor deluded bastards.

SELF-RETORTING RETORT!

Andy, your spell checker is completely racist!

Keep on punching away at that strawman.

Do you have to pay for the game? What's the link?

Sounds like fun.

This sort of kills Muffy's Bush assassination movie whine, doesn't it?

Oh well, she's still got that hate whitey and African press Corps dirt on Michele.

Maybe some day she'll produce it.

Rep. Ron Paul is running for president and actually in a position to win.

So it's less believable than Lord of the Rings....

This sort of kills Muffy's Bush assassination movie whine, doesn't it?

The spin will be interesting.

??Taxman?? (as you call yourself), you show your utter ignorance in posting this blogger's warped reality stereotype that simply lumps together all "right-wing paranoia and activism" to Glenn Beck, the Tea Party protesters and Ron Paul.

First of all, Glenn Beck is a fake "patriot" -- a Benedict Arnold to the true patriot, no patriot by any stretch of the imagination. He has co-opted the true grass-roots movement of those fed up with both parties and often stabbed the true patriot in the back.

Second is the propaganda of the patriot as an aggressor who is just itching to attack the government. That couldn't be further from the truth. And ever Mother Hubbard liberals know it deep inside. OathKeepers has been very clear that they are peaceful, but draw the line with unlawful orders.

Third is your coining of a derrogatory term paul-tard. Your stupidity just reaks there. He also has never advocated the violent intents that you stereotype. You obviously have no clue what Ron Paul stands for. He actually represents the constitutional best interest of the people with bi-partisan legislations such as Audit The Fed.

So who is behind this game. The exact people you do support, who sells you the kool-aid propaganda stereotype to further divide this country. You fell for it, moron!

How freaking stupid you are to fall for this crap. I won't go on, as you aren't worth the trouble in your deluded left-right, warped, stereotyped kool-aid drinking intelligence level.

The link to the game didn't work. I guess Obama pulled the plug.

"According to Russotto, the site's designers despise Democrats and Republicans, and they will show their political balance next week, when the site introduces an "Ambush Bush" scenario, which will give players the chance to hunt down the ex-president in Texas."

It's got something for everyone!

The link to the game didn't work.

So Republican....

the site's designers despise Democrats and Republicans,

And Ron Paul left the GOP when? Oh wait....

Obama dissolving congress??


Lol moron


The link to the game didn't work.


So Republican....

I figured out how to get in but it sucked.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the liberals are getting all faux indignant about a frigging video game since they believed Bush would hightail it to Paraguay to avoid prosecution for his "war crimes" and that the Sacrosanct One would be a change for the better

Bush's Secret Service protection doesn't end for another 9 years. Then "Paraguay here we come... Doo doo Doo doo"

(So no one's confused, Bill Clinton is the last U.S. President to receive lifetime protection by the SS)

I would be happy if GWB fled to Paraguay, to the desert Chaco where he owns all that land. It is a hell on Earth. Worse than any prison. 120 degree temperatures, no rainfall, no mountain views. Just endless barren land. In fact, if he agrees to exile there, we should forever forego any prosecutions.

What exactly are you implying that you will do in 9 years, Timex?

You sure talk tough online.

So You don't want Him publically to account for His War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity?? Just let Him disapear into nothingness without paying for His crimes?? If that ain't fucked up to the max I don't know what is.

Larry

I implied nothing. I could care less where he lives as long as it isn't 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

And 'doo doo' is what he cleans up after Barney.

This is the same as many other games

Mafia wars
Ninja wars
Shogun Wars


there are dozens of these on Myspace, Facebook and browser based stand alone games.

Im just surprised it took this long to come up with one neo-civil war themed.

I figured out how to get in but it sucked.

Much like Ron Paul.

a fake news item associated with the game lists Michelle Malkin, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage, and Rush Limbaugh as patriots. Malkin "will make a fine Senator and will help America get back on the path to the free market and rule of law via the Constitution of the United States of America."

I apologize for my rush to judgment earlier. I do take offense to the derrogatory "Paul-tards", Eric Sorenson can go f*k himself at his malicious slander in claiming it was devised by Ron Paul's backers.

I hadn't read in-depth the full "plot" of the game. Even Alex Jones has a role in this game!

Now I believe it clearly reaks of neo-con ideology while completely blowing it on the truth of the New World Order. It putridly glorifies their twisted leaders Beck, Limbaugh, .

So where are all the loons who say "Video Games and Movies Make People Do Stuff" Now?


Incidentally

Glenn Beck has been found dead of an "aspirin overdose

If this were true i'd have to apologize to Nance and Diablo.

Clear proof of a higher power.

That's the Obama administration for ya. Mr. Peace Prize Material won't even hold our previous admin accountable for all the war it started and then fucked up. Too busy ordering missile strikes on Afghan civilians and polishing his Peace Prize.


Bribes. Babes. Beer. Word!

Interesting premise for a game. Remove the real names and you could actually have a hit on your hands. Alternate historical timelines are nothing new. I have played game where the Nazis won WW2, where Aliens invaded in 1953...I am currently playing one in post WW3 nuked out Washington DC. Exploring the Capitol building was rather surreal.
