Wonkette
Thanks to Wonkette hippie operative “Joe” for sending us a shot of this hippie protest sign, which is exactly correct. The hippies did save John McCain, so that he could come back to abandon his newly crippled wife.
JOHN MCCAIN
So hysterical in many, many ways.
I went to a pride festival yesterday and the Phelps people were there
a guy was standing next to them with a sign that said “God blessed America and look what fucking happened” with an arrow directed at the Phelps people. it made my day
Does this mean that if McCain wins, my long abiding hatred of hippies is validated?
The physical construction of that sign leaves something to be desired. Why did they cut out “POW” but not “A”? Those 10 sheets of paper probably killed six snowy owls.
Hippies! Hippies Everywhere! They say they want to save the world, but all they do is smoke pot and smell bad.
Damned hippies.
…does this mean we can “thank” the Hippies for WALNUTS!? Somehow the tear-gas and severe beatings they received doesn’t seem all that bad.
Since WALNUTS! stayed in the Hanoi Hilton by choice, he was greatly irritated that hippie protests got him sprung.
That is why he hates the hippies so. That and the fact that they keep trying to smoke his lawn.
HA! Those hippies are pretty astute when not wandering around in a marijuana-induced, patchouli-and-sandlewood-scented, macrame-entangled haze.
HIppies are people too. As far as I know…
TJBeck:
Looks like they cut and pasted fonts from old
issues of High Times. Not that I’m an expert.
Suddenly I hate those Goddamn hippies!
How dare you hippies!
Don’t you know its a crimal offense to point out the flaws in an argument of a WAR HERO!
Another great demonstration of the law of unintended consequences.
…does this mean that the NEXT generation of WALNUTS! is wasting away in Iraq somewhere?
I would like to say that I am really happy that the general election has begun. Making fun of McCain feels a lot better than making fun of Clinton.
If hippies had not brought McCain back, Rambo or the guys on Harley Hogs would have.
As an un-reconstructed hippie, who smokes pot, but bathes regularly
I would like to remind you that the hippies not only stopped a war, they
started the environmental movement, the gay rights movement, supported the women’s movement,
marched for civil rights, and generally added a great deal to the arts.
Remember the Whole Earth Catalog? Did you know that the first blog was The Well, which
can still be found at Salon.com? Did you know that the same hippies did both of those things?
So, maybe you should thank the hippies for this thing you are doing right now.
Sheesh, give it a break. Hint; The Monkee’s and Charles Manson weren’t hippies.
forgot my id: It’s almost like if we had let the Great War go on a little longer, we might have been able to off Hitler. DAMN YOU WOODROW WILSON!
WALNUTS throws hippies under the bus.
bitchincamaro: Was that the issue where everything was accidentally left at 72 point Times New Roman? Yea, that was a great issue.
NotUrEvryDayWEzl: Well, if we’d have let the Germans win, there would have been no need for a second world war. And we’d all be speaking German, and we’d have better beer. And a guy named David Hasselhoff would be a TV star.
if i didn’t protest the iraq war in 2003 we’d still be in iraq fighting right now.
upperleft: I HEREBY THANK ALL HIPPIES FOR ALL THE GOOD THEY HAVE DONE INCLUDING SAVING THE LIFE OF
JOHN SIDNEY MCCAIN THE THIRD.
upperleft…an un-reconstructed hippie, who smokes pot…
Remember the Whole Earth Catalog?
Yes. sort of. i remember the name, but i can’t picture it.
oh god, i’m really trying, but i just can’t.
i keep seeing a big black paper-covered book, but it says
anarchist cookbook on the cover…not the same. reefer
madness indeed.
as for your list…well, OK, but what have hippies done lately?
not much, really.
If there were no hippies, the 60s “cultural revolution” would have peaked with acoustic folk music. Imagine what life would be like if all we had to look back to was the intense warbling vibrato of Joan Baez. A Mighty Wind indeed. Gawd.
Likewise, we probably wouldn’t have gone around another corner ended up with Disco.
So, I guess there’s two sides to every story. Thanks, hippies.
tsunami: Played a little hackey, listened to some Phish, sampled some tasty buds… don’t worry, the hippies are busy keepin’ on. At least here around here.
edgydrifter: Strange that my posts today all have double words words. I must be flashing back to my UO days. Or maybe my computer is tripping. Something something.
upperleft: Damn straight! Yay Hippies. Hippies did it all. As a former star commenter, I hereby declare this a “Wonkette Unofficial Day Of Appreciation for Hippies (Who Bathe).”
edgydrifter…I must be flashing back to my UO days.
ah yes…the silliest question i used to get asked was…
“how long does it last?”
my best answer…maybe, a lifetime.
Gahhh! I keep forgetting not to hit “next” button and it zaps me back to the Orygone stump farm picture.
Gahh! Flashbacks! (OK, I guess that fitting on Hippie Appreciation Day).
upperleft: The Monkees WEREN’T hippies?
My world-view is shattered. Take me now, Lord. I have no reason to live.
And stop ragging on Charlie, man. Not cool at all.
They only saved him so that they could spit on him with patchouli-scented saliva and taunt him with groovy new music he hadn’t been exposed to, like Vanilla Fudge and The Chambers Brothers.
TJBeck: Only the French would be speaking German. I highly doubt that Wilhelm would have invaded his grandmother’s realm. Then we’d still have the glorious British Empire, and maybe even a good old Ottoman Empire to keep that pesky South-west Asian area in line.
Dave’s not here, man.
nhunter: Wha…? C’mon, man, let me in. I think the cops saw me!
So what they’re saying is, if there were no Hippies:
-Vietnam would still be going, and McCain would be dead or a discredited commie sympathizer.
-George Bush would have crashed his jet in a coke-induced haze, sparing us from both his presidency and his children.
-Dick Cheney might have finally run out of deferment, and DeLay might have finally been drafted.
-No Iraq.
Fucking hippies.
In his book The Real McCain, author Cliff Schecter claims that John McCain made extremely ugly remarks about his wife Cindy McCain during a tirade witnessed by three reporters and two aides. “At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain’s hair and said, ‘You’re getting a little thin up there,’” Schechter writes. “McCain’s face reddened, and he responded, ‘At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt.’ McCain’s excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days.”
And do you think it would matter to him? It would take the Cong alot more than 4 decades to crack “Walnuts” McCain…hippies!
when will mccain’s anti-american confession that he signed as a pow re-surface? or has it already?
Alas the ever damning ripple effect, no mood lights, no lava lamps, no Hendrix… I think we could have done without these; naaaaaaaaaaah
NotUrEvryDayWEzl: T.E. Lawrence is responsible for Hamas, Al Qaeda, PLO, etc., etc., ad nauseum. The Balfour Agreement led to 9/11.
Albion’s revenge for Yorktown, obs…
Its a bad joke to say that if it wasn’t for the protestor McCain would still be a POW. Don’t get me wrong, I think he would be an awful president. I had friends who served in Vietnam who were spit on after they got back to the U.S. Its a dreadful memory for veterans to this day. Most of these men didn’t volunteer but were drafted and did what they felt was their duty. So lets not get carried away with this idea.
‘Songbird’ McCain was never tortured:
