AMERICA'S GREATEST PUNDITS

IF BILL CLINTON WAS BLACK, THEN HOW IS OBAMA NOT MUSLIM? A real winner in the Moonie Times op-ed section today. We reach Absolute Zero by only the end of the second paragraph: “The man now happy to have his Islamic-rooted middle name featured prominently has engaged in the most consequential bait-and-switch since Adolf Hitler duped Neville Chamberlain over Czechoslovakia at Munich.” Swish. [Washington Times]

    That picture is making me dizzy, not to mention feeling a little KKK.

  2. Airborne Toxic Event says at 6:54 pm, June 9th, 2009

    The comments are awesome crazy.

  3. Lord Growing says at 6:57 pm, June 9th, 2009

    I’ve been reliably informed that Frank J. Gaffney Jr. is in fact the pseudonym of former libtard snark-monger Liz Glover.

  4. jasper f. krone says at 6:58 pm, June 9th, 2009

    Jesus Hussein Christ!

  5. jasper f. krone says at 6:59 pm, June 9th, 2009

    Airborne Toxic Event: Agreed. I marked all 102 comments as “offensive”.

  6. Brendan M. says at 7:04 pm, June 9th, 2009

    Anyone who works at the Washington Times, as well as anyone who has worked with anyone who works at the Washington Times, and their families, should be shot in the face, or at least sentenced to 12 years hard labor in North Korea, or Rush Limbaugh’s sex dungeon. Literally.

  7. PsycGirl says at 7:05 pm, June 9th, 2009

    Airborne Toxic Event: but there was this one shining star, presumably directed at the author: “Your paranoid delusions, slander, intolerance and fake theologogy should disqualfy you from ever having anything published under the guise of intelligent thought or analysis. You’re an utter lunatic.” Besides, everyone knows Obama is the first MUSLIN president.

  8. Cicada says at 7:06 pm, June 9th, 2009

    Between this and the 9/11 truther telethon, there will be a lot wingnuts with chapped hands. Fap, fap, fap.

  9. dijetlo says at 7:06 pm, June 9th, 2009

    Frank Gafney…that name sounds familiar…wasn’t he Secretard of Commerce under ‘W’ or something?

  10. NoWireHangers says at 7:06 pm, June 9th, 2009

    I tried to read that shit article, I really did. You see it’s the end of the day and I’m feeling grouchy and fatigued. I was desperate enough to click the link, but I only got as far as halfway through the first sentence: During his White House years, William Jefferson Clinton — someone Judge Sonia Sotomayor might call a “white male” –

    Frank J. Gaffney, Jr.–someone any rational human being might call a rat faced turd eater–

  11. iantenna says at 7:08 pm, June 9th, 2009

    “Just ask Joe-the-plumber.”

    yes-indeed-double-deedy, when i am looking for the truth i will do just that, thank you washington times comments section.

  12. NoWireHangers says at 7:08 pm, June 9th, 2009

    Airborne Toxic Event: I can’t believe it took 3 comments to get to this:

    maggieb
    He is also the first, Illegal alien , allowed in the White House. Where’s the documents , Barry, anti-up . Tell the truth just Once.

  13. Scandalabra says at 7:10 pm, June 9th, 2009

    That animated gif deserves an Oscar, an Emmy, and a Guggenheim grant.

  14. “I cried, because I had no hat, until I met a man who had no brain.”

    It’s actually rather impressive that Gaffney can type sentences, even delusional ones, with that big, open, airy space where his brain is supposed to be.

  15. shortsshortsshorts says at 7:14 pm, June 9th, 2009

    At least a Republican finally figured out what “appeasement” means. Jesus that was embarrassing.

  16. WadISay says at 7:19 pm, June 9th, 2009

    jasper f. krone: One of the comments ended, “The message of Christ is love.” I wonder how many times it got marked offensive.

  17. Cicada says at 7:19 pm, June 9th, 2009

    Here’s a doozy from the comments:

    “You people can’t stand it when someone speaks the TRUTH. He’s a MUSLIM get use to it. You sheeple! Let him ruin the country and then you’ll big the biggeat BITCHes in town. Get a life”

    +10 points for the unironic use of “sheeple”.

    And then there’s this one from e1313ruth:

    “You are right on about Obama..He is the great deceiver.. The one the Bible said would come right before the return of Jesus and would fool all but the elect… Obama is not only a muslim, he is the messiah of Islam.. The one promised to return and save Islam and force the entire world to bow to the Allah beast… He has been busy campaigning now for world president.. If he wooes all the musim to his side, of course he will win by sheer numbers.. There we are truly in trouble..He has not begun his reign of terror yet.. He is just getting warmed up.. God help us..”

    Let’s see, mispellings, Obama is the anti-christ, world president mumbo-jumbo, unnecessary ellipses. I think we have a winner! All the ameros go to e1313ruth!

  18. Mad Farmer Manifest says at 7:19 pm, June 9th, 2009

    Bait-and-switch? Because his middle name is Hussein now when it was… Hussein during the election? That’s not a bait-and-switch. A bait-and-switch is when I tell a Washington Times writer that we are going out for pizza and then just push him into the crocodile habitat at the DC zoo, for laffs. See, there’s ‘bait” (pizza) and a ’switch’ (reptilian murder). This isn’t rocket science. I guess this is all we can expect from someone whose highest value is the fact that their body keeps a small amount of carbon out of the atmosphere.

  19. FormerDCite says at 7:29 pm, June 9th, 2009

    Dear Mr. Gaffney,
    Thank you for clearing up all my suspicions about President OSAMA. That explains the sudden public appearance of Michelle and the girls in burkas. Since we all know that being Muslim is synonymous with being a terrorist, I will write my congressman to start impeachment hearings now.

    Sincerely,
    Typical WT reader
    (An ignorant bigot.)

    P.S. Could you please write an editorial about the miracles St. Bush, (the younger) performed during his 8 years of enlightened leadership? And please GFY, also.

  20. wheelie says at 7:31 pm, June 9th, 2009

    I still can’t believe his remarks in Cairo . . .

    OBAMA: As a devout Muslin, I believe that females should be circumcised, people such as Hillary Clinton. Although, by the look on her face these days, seems like that already happened!

    EGYPTIANS: Ha ha ha. Yeah! Whooo!

    OBAMA: You know, the Jews, they be runnin’ the banks, man. They give good interest, ya know? Ya kill a couple a thousand of them in Germany, pretty soon they’ve turned it into 6 million!!

    EGYPTIANS: Ha! Whooo! Whoooo! *wild applause*

    OBAMA: But seriously, let us build peace together. Let us build it high . . . and then fly planes into it!!

    EGYPTIANS: Ha ha ha!! Whoooooooo!! *even wilder applause*

    OBAMA: So basically, let’s hate women, and Jews, and kill lots of people. Thank you! You’ve been a wonderful audience!

    EGYPTIANS: *standing ovation*

    What a fucking panderer. Seriously. But I guess it’s just diplomacy.

  21. yosoy says at 7:36 pm, June 9th, 2009

    The Muslins have taken over! Soon we will all be living under Shaliah law!

  22. rereridiculous says at 7:36 pm, June 9th, 2009

    In the wise quotes of Cartman, to all the Freepers becoming even more and more crazy over the last few months:
    “Mm, your tears are so yummy and sweet! Oh, the tears of unfathomable sadness! My-yummy!”

  23. CollegeStudent says at 7:38 pm, June 9th, 2009

    Wait, Obama’s really Snoop Dogg?
    I knew it.

  24. shortsshortsshorts says at 7:49 pm, June 9th, 2009

    If becoming Muslim makes us an oil-rich Nation again, I think we should just stop whining and welcome our new religious overlords.

  25. wheelie says at 7:50 pm, June 9th, 2009

    rereridiculous: This is the truth. Watching them whine as President Obama sews the world back together is fun.

    (Serious note: Obama in Cairo on the Israel/Palestine issue brought a tear to my eye. It was great to see a world leader choose truth over bull. For a brief moment, I caught myself dreaming of world peace. . . Silly me.)

  26. lizard scum says at 7:53 pm, June 9th, 2009

    CollegeStudent: Snoop Dog doesn’t have a devil’s forked penis like BHO has, I’m sure he’d rap about it if he did.

    All of this scary shit makes you wish for the days when we had a pathological narcissist who just wanted to get BJs in the office. Just wait until Obama does something for labor unions, then the ass wipes on the Right will really go ape shit. Obama is the Whore of Babylon in bed with organized labor, union leaders are the Antichrist persecuting American big-business martyrs, struggling American workers are the Beast with seven heads, etc.

  27. Koolaid says at 7:58 pm, June 9th, 2009

    the best part is that they never can answer the “So What?” “What if he is?” retort nor do they realize they are demeaning a large swath of the U.S. population by equating the mere notion of Obama as a muslim with bad. loves it.

  28. charlesdegoal says at 7:58 pm, June 9th, 2009

    Hard to pick one among all those great comments in the Wash Times, although I think this one is nice: “So far his cabinet seems be a group of incompetants, gee I hope I’m wrong.”

  29. Suds McKenzie says at 8:01 pm, June 9th, 2009

    its like a “rocket ship” half way to the moon.

  30. american mutt says at 8:07 pm, June 9th, 2009

    OBAMA IS RENKARNASHUN OF MUSLIN EGYPTIN GOD PEOPLE!!!

  31. rocktonsammy says at 8:09 pm, June 9th, 2009

    Those five colored guys look a little ‘darker’ to me for some reason.

  32. rocktonsammy says at 8:13 pm, June 9th, 2009

    Which of the colored guys are either in jail or dead?

    White guys too.

  33. bhosp says at 8:15 pm, June 9th, 2009

    Koolaid: Colin Powell is a Muslim for saying that. That must be why he tricked Bush into invading Iraq. SO THAT THE DEMOCRAT PARTY COULD TAKE OVER CONGRESS IN 2006 AND MAKE AMERICA WEAK!

  34. I just made a TRUCKNUTZ digression in the comments. Now my day is complete.

  35. Suds McKenzie says at 8:25 pm, June 9th, 2009

    ahh, the Five Pillars of retard!

    when was the last time you tried to find your birth certificate sir? its hard.


    the comments alone were worth double whatever they paid him. Now excuse me, I have to sit quitely in the corner with my “tin foil hat”.

  36. donner_froh says at 8:27 pm, June 9th, 2009

    Cicada: If only she would have remembered to hit the CAPS LOCK key. Or maybe she accidently hit it and turned off the ALL CAPS the she uses to comment.

  37. The Station Manager says at 8:32 pm, June 9th, 2009

    Airborne Toxic Event: Damn it, man! I always tell myself not to read the comments, and then one of you Wonketteers up and sucks me back in. There is more crazy than one man can deal with in those comments.

  38. donner_froh says at 8:47 pm, June 9th, 2009

    It takes about four seconds to register and start commenting on the Washington Times site.

  39. S.Luggo says at 9:15 pm, June 9th, 2009

    “This is not to say, NECESSARILY, that Mr. [Barack Hussein-Wishes-to-Kill-All-Christian-Babies-and-Little-Puppies] Obama actually is a Muslim….” Noooo. Not saying so.

    To contrast:
    Frank Pig-Intercourser Gaffney Jr.

    This articulation of Frank’s middle name is not to say, NECESSARILY, that Frank, or his pater familias, had regular, luscious, sweaty, carnal knowledge of representatives of the porcine species. Nope. It might signify that Frank relishes discussing, e.g., Proust or Martin Heidegger, with his swine intimates. Libtards, the defense now rests.

  40. totoro says at 9:52 pm, June 9th, 2009

    That paper is the “Watchtower” with a sports section. Those “Walking Tall” looking guys on the metro with the short sleeve dress shirts and high-waters, you should slap that paper out of their hands.

  41. FlownOver says at 9:59 pm, June 9th, 2009

    The comments at MoonTimes are getting better & better.

  42. This type of Op-Ed goes perfectly with the Washington Times new distribution method: placing a copy under the windshield wipers of parked cars.

  43. masterofzen says at 10:32 pm, June 9th, 2009

    As fun as these columns are to read now, you know what will be even more fun? Reading them in like 20 years.

  44. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 10:49 pm, June 9th, 2009

    You know, I liked the old days when Gaffney’s entire column would be reduced to “Fuckin’ Nigger.”

  45. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 10:54 pm, June 9th, 2009

    In all seriousness, how is it that you can be bat-shit crazy and make a living as a Conservative? Hell, not only make a living but shape American policy?

    You don’t see the Obama administration using my posts here to set policy…., and I sure as hell don’t get paid for them. But they are fare more rational than anything posted on NRO. I’ll even act like a pompous mentally-challenged ass if that is what it takes. I demand equality!

  46. peeno nwar says at 1:58 am, June 10th, 2009

    OH NOES!!!

    This means John Fitzgerald Kennedy was a jelly donut!

  47. Barry White Zombie says at 6:59 am, June 10th, 2009

    Brendan M.: Except for Liz Glover. She gets the wonkette lifetime pass.

  48. paintitblack says at 10:03 am, June 10th, 2009

    Daily Kos summarized Gaffney’s, uh, spew - giving the “highlights” of his rant. Yeah old HUSSEIN OSAMA really baited and switched ‘em. Like no one I knew ever guessed that Barry Negroid had THAT middle name during the election. WAKE UP SHEEPLES,TEH MUSLINS AR CUMIN!!!!11!! ANTICRIST!!11 BIRTH CURTIFECAT TELPRMTR ALIAN!!!11111111!!!!EAT BABIES!!!!1111

  49. groove says at 11:18 am, June 10th, 2009

    President Dogg is change I can believe in.

  50. EdFlinstone says at 7:43 pm, June 10th, 2009

    Hopey used the words “holy” and “koran” together, holy shit what more evidence do you sheeple need?
