Wonkette
This is a pretty great video, the more times you watch it. Barack Obama was giving another one of his health care chats in Bristol, Virginia today, so a few wingnuts took to the highway and staked out a spot, coincidentally right next to the local Wendy’s, and booed Obama’s motorcade as it drove by. A day in the life. But you must see this one guy’s sign, near the beginning: “HE’S NOT QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT BUT HE DID STAY IN A HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS LAST NIGHT.” What does this mean! Have the wingnuts gone pastiche? [YouTube]
Birthers and right wingers share a lot of stupid videos with each other on Youtube, it’s about time someone figured out the untapped viral marketing potential.
And why did they boo the ambulance? I don’t get it.
PourMeAGoldWater: It’s their way of protesting government healthcare.
he spent the day in BRISTOL?!
was this written by david letterman oh geez. also.
Didn’t you read the godamn bible, dont say notin’ bout no negro presidents.
Jim, your quote of the guy’s sign is wrong, one more lie from the mainstream media. It says “Holiday Inn EXPRESS”. Tell the truth! You know, in honor of the troops and all, you betcha.
PourMeAGoldWater: Ambulances are all part of Hopey’s communist muslin health agenda, don’t you know that?
So the limo goes by around 0:56 and they’re still booing a full minute later at - what ? - the deputy undersecretary of the department of redundancy department?
Pray tell who or what was in the numerous white vans which followed Barry’s car? Are they to be used to transport the birfers to the FEMA re-education camps?
All the booing reminded me of cows on a hillside mooing, which clearly proves that right-wing loonies are the true descendants of cows.
slavojzizek: Oh rats I KNEW that but FORGOT TO TYPE IT. Time to stop typing today.
foryoublue: Oh geez. She does get around, doesn’t she?
Then they all went to get Baconators, the end.
Wow, look at all that blubber.
sweetcandy: right-wing loonies are the true descendants of cows.
Oh dear, I truly hope you don’t have any Hindu friends.
Realistically, what else is there to do down there?
Did you read the Bible??!! Well, did you?????? Also. Did you see the chubbie people waddling toward the Wendy’s??
On the flip side of the ‘Holiday Inn’ sign it read, “Strike–Better Pay For Holiday Inn Employees”.
They all got organized for….
less than 10 seconds of presidential “exposure”?
I’m sure Obama was reading each and every one of their signs, especially teh one about teh Biblioteca. He saw it and went: “Damn, I HAVEN’T read the Bible! That does it! I’m going to kill every poor person for Jesus and Corporate America! That’ll get me right with God.”
Remember how we were all branded traitors, or at least unpatriotic for disagreeing with the president when it was Doofus? Seems they need to retool the rhetoric, since it’s not about the office of president at all.
foryoublue: Aw Jeez, I was gonna unsubtly point out how I wasn’t gonna go near that one, but you just had to go jump right in the shit puddle. We’re all in for it now, you know? Both Cougs & Snowbilly are gonna get us.
Death to the salad eaters!
Everything they know is wrong, but at least it did come out of the box, such as the Holiday Inn commercial in which some expert is drawing all that admiration and he’s not really a brain surgeon but he DID stay at Holiday Inn last night, which means he’s plenty smart, which is all that’s required for a GED in Bristol, VA.
Around 1:19 a heifer with a neon yellow and orange sign emerges from the bottom left. What the fuck is she wearing? What is that! Is it a rayon muumuu, or a Wonderwoman cape?
what a bunch of miserable, sloppy-assed fuckwads.
Yes, there it is. Welcome to my world. Chockful of wingnuts, wackos and waddlers. Often I pray for the sweet release of death.
This is amazing. My brother tipped me off to the technique you don’t notice right off. The signs are turned away from the motorcade and towards the camera. That means I’m afraid Barack will have to lower the level of his dialogue after he notes the herd of cows on the hill with blank signs, for illiteracy.
White vans = ACORN.
But there wasn’t any colonial cosplay!
But, but… people were waving their flags. In his sound-proof car or van, all the President would have seen would have been people waving their flags.
Were they large people, Clarice? Yes, Dr., they were large.
when your political slogans are derived from tv commercials, it’s probably time to stop watching tv.
Re: the guy with the Holiday Inn Express sign - signs take time to make, particularly long ones. I’ve made a few signs myself (WWF shows at the Garden in high school), and that guy must have spent at LEAST an hour with his mind focused 100%, solely on the sentence “He’s not qualified to be president but he stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night” without its stupidity crossing his mind.
You had me at the Star Wars in Ireland opening credits . . .
HAY NOBAMA WHERE’S THE BEEF? HURR HURR HURR.
God damn I hate these people. 2012 can’t come fast enough. You fucking Mayans better have been right!
WhatTheHeck:
What America needs is more morbidly obese beasts holding up signs. Who needs flags, when there’s loose pale flabby cellulite flapping in the wind. I hope that Wendy’s stocked up on patties and cheese.
You had me at the Star Wars in Ireland opening credits
OReillysVibrator: Holiday Inn ‘Expess’. He even misspelled it to maintain the Tardus Quo..
The sign is only the tip of curiosities here. I don’t understand is why they do not only boo the presidential limousine…
…but also the Secret Service…
…the local police…
…a government vehicle pulling an armored trailer…
…some white vans…
…an ambulance (because they oppose universal healthcare?)…
…some more cops on motorcycles…
…and for a couple more seconds, the empty street. ???
Also, Wonkette, you oughta be ashamed. Sarah Palin said mentioning Bristol is off limits.
Has Andrew Sullivan seen this yet? The black-on-green Star Wars-esque opening credits were pretty inspiring.
Or is he no longer posting pro-Iranian Revolution videos, now that the thinly veiled focus of his blog is to balance out his obsession with getting Trig Palin to produce his official birth certificate proving that Sarah Palin is his mother by half-wittedly harping on Barack Obama to produce his official birth certificate proving that Honolulu, Hawai’i is his place of birth?
Well, I’m buying a house in the south of France. I’ll check in on the InterNets from time to time.
Pizzuti: Streets are socialist too. I shouldn’t have to give my hard-earned money to the government so it can make elitist paved byways for motor vehicles.
I watched twice but didn’t see any black people. Do you think that there may be a racist crowd?
Jesus what a herd of stoopid. It almost looks as if it were the crowd from the Monday game in idiocracy and they have gone full retard. This is the life Trig has to look forward to.
The only thing worse than a racist is a pussy racist. C’mon, you pussies, yell out what you really think! Nigger, nigger, nigger! Don’t be cowards. Get right down to it.
Extemporanus: I wanna go to Hawaii! Yayyyy!! Hawaii!!! (sorry, you got me stuck on all things tarded).
Wendy’s: The New Free Speech Zone.
And all these people will get type 2 diabeetus and STILL hate health care.
johnnypantalones: Not fair. I want this all to continue. I want these inbred yokel NASholes to suffer four more years under Obama. I want the birth certificate to be their pot of gold. Eventually, they’ll eat a handful of pills and end MY disdain. Maybe the Mayans will coincide with the Jesus Comeback Tour, and we can call it a “two-fer”.
Srsly, let 2012 be the end for Luo tribesmember hatin’ dickheads.
At least this President knows to leave the top up when he drives by a grassy knoll.
Aping what they’ve seen on the teevee commercials for humorous effect is a very high form of art for wingnuts, perhaps the highest.
I’m sure there are a dozen “Priceless” signs that we weren’t able to see, all of them hilarious.
…And that goes for Rush Limbaugh, too, who, as I understand, is a chronic bed-wetter even in his advanced years.
Pizzuti:
Side-effects from the repeated alien abductions and the required procedural gapings and memory erasures.
Oh I think I get the Holiday Inn thing! He is spending trillions of our dollars, but he is trying to trim the budget by cutting off the fat and staying at Holiday Inns!
Hahaha, good one fat dude with sign! I bet you really zinged Obama as he sped by you at 40 mph.
Smoke Filled Roommate: Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, leis goes on!
Seriously, though, have you seen Andrew “My goal here is transparency and avoiding double standards” Sullivan’s blog today? Dude must still has shit on the brain from his POW experience last week in Crap Cod.
Servo: Victory to the salad worders!
I Am Not Your Gary Busey: That there is your basic $1.99 rain poncho. It’s bright orange so maybe your cracked out neighbor won’t mistake you for something to feed to the chillens and shoot you. The poncho also comes in camouflage in case you’re the methed out neighbor.
boinggg: “Nigger, nigger, nigger!”
Close, but to be truly brave they would have to be completely honest and put “Kill the” in front of that phrase. How’s the right going to defend the first batch of wingers arrested in an assassination plot? I’m sure Sean O’Rushbeck will find a way.
The fact O’bama is half African and the first lady is African-American and beautiful has them spinning into frenzy. Michele, esp., because she is beautiful and has has the features of a black woman. In their world, that isn’t right. That she’s classy and a style setter on top of that really has them undone. And the two little girls that the wingers think of as pickininnies are darling makes it that much worse for them.
These are terrible, vicious people who are stuffing their mouths with pork rinds and giant cups of high-fructose corn syrup. Like the white trash they are, they are stupid, without class or intelligence. And, sadly, many of them live in my community.
boinggg: “Where’s the birth certificate?” = “This nigger isn’t my president.”
I agree. Let’s get all out in the open, LOU DOBBS.
I call bullshit. The path was not paved with palm fronds for The One. And I saw no donkey, only jackasses. Wake up, birthers!
I didn’t get a good picture, but I was 15 feet from the big O in Raleigh today. I gave him the universal wonkette trucknut salute, whatever that is… and then he seduced me with his muslun magic. the end
The funniest part is that Obama’s limo passes pretty early on, so the wingnuts are really just booing at Secret Service cars — and an ambulance!
I guess what I’m saying–not to get too serious on this humor-driven forum–is that it’s all about racism, whenever push comes to shove. Even worse than Obama’s being elected is his doing his best to make the changes that he promised he would try to make. The knuckle-draggers can live with Sambo being a simple Democratic place-keeper waiting for the next Republican brainiac, if they have to, but they can’t abide his actually making changes to make American society more equitable. When all else fails, they have to say “nigger”. That’s like their thermonuclear device–there’s nothing beyond that.
And I should apologize for saying that Rush Limbaugh is a chronic bed-wetter. In truth, his real enjoyment comes in fucking pigs, because they remind him so much of his mama.
DustBowlBlues: “These are terrible, vicious people who are stuffing their mouths with pork rinds and giant cups of high-fructose corn syrup.”
Can’t they just hurry up and die already?
“Obama is not qualified to be president” These are the same people that supported a complete dolt as president for eight years. And I live in Virginia, and I’ve been to Bristol.
Actually it’s kind of clever for a Wingnut.
I have a question for the “Birthers.” First of all, when the conspiracy is over will they be called “After Birthers?” Secondly, most “Birthers” are unapologetic “Pro-Lifers” and adamantly proclaim “LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION!” Okay, follow me here, now they are making all kinds of noise because they want everyone to believe Obama was born in a “ferrin’ country.” Unlike Walnuts who WAS born in Panama. What would they have DONE then?!!? Anyway, according to them, if LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION shouldn’t they be worried about where Mr. and Mrs. Obama were doing it NINE MONTHS previous to Obama being born? I mean, did the spermatozoa fertilize the ovum in Hawaii or ELSEWHERE? Inquiring minds want to KNOW! They can’t keep having it both ways. If LIFE begins at conception we need to know EXACTLY where EACH President of the United States parents were NINE MONTHS before they were born starting NOW!
Holiday Inn Express? Were they protesting Sarah Palin? Wouldn’t she upgrade to an express from Motel ^ on vacation (paid for by the RNC)?
Jesus. What fucking language were those people speaking? The signs were in English, but other than the booing, all I heard were jackals cackling.
1. President Maccaca did not notice you fucktards.
B. Eat A BOWL OF DICKS AT WENDYS.
#. repeat.
Looks like a fair number of those motivated civic-minded people are in serious need of a health care chat, stat.
Shouldn’t they be harvesting mountain oysters or something? Obviously; these folks are “southerners”, as opposed to “hillbillies”; appalachian folk wouldn’t give a damn who drove near their community. I’m glad that he ventured into right wing territory, though.
sweetcandy:I just had a great visual of Barack hanging out the window of his Cadillac Dreadnought Mooing gleefully at the Heiferinians he passes by.
Is it wrong to fantasize about being the guy in the turret of Obama’s mobile minigun?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZZhwk3FGEQ
I can explain the Holiday Inn Express sign.
That guy was turned away by the management of one last night. They did not want to tell him the truth (”You’re an idiot and you smell funny”) so they told him they were full because the President had taken all the rooms. He believed it and was bitter.
Ohio Wonkette Fan: Good point. Not too many wiggers listening to teh rap or wearing “Voinovich for Senate” buttons or committing suicide because they live in Cleveland or Youngston. Oh, sorry thought you said “Obviously; these folks are “Ohionans.”
Missed opportunity. If he really was one of us, he could have picked up enough votes to get health care passed just by hanging a pair of chocolate/vanilla truknutz from every car in the motorcade.
Well, now I’m convinced government health care is bad. Even if they are real ‘muricans, I simply refuse to pay for the health care of anyone who waddles.
Extemporanus: Sully has always annoyed the shit out of me with his fickle bandwagon-jumping viewpoints that seem to change on a whim like fashion.. Personally, I wish he stayed in Poopoo Town with a poopoo ‘puter (’pooter?) that didn’t work because it had poopoo all over it.
user-of-owls: right-wing loonies are the true descendants of cows.
Oh dear, I truly hope you don’t have any Hindu friends.
I love wonkette, and most of the snark is positively sublime here, but I feel the need to school somebody on what I think is potential ignorance. As somebody born to Hindu parents and with even a marginal understanding of Hindu mythology, Hindus do not believe that any people are descended from cows, nor would such a statement upset them in particular anymore than it would upset any person. With that said, this kind of a misrepresentation of what is dear to Hinduism would be as frustrating as somebody making a stupid and untrue generalization about what Muslims believe. I’m assuming you basically mean brown people are funny and different from us (white folk) and easily upset, hahaha, in which case, what are you doing on Wonkette?
I’ve seen this movie before. “Two Thousand Maniacs!” Herschell Gordon Lewis was a prophet.
these goobers can shovel the x-large wendy’s frosty into their collective toothless, chaw-spit flecked maws without worrying about brain freeze.
Saw this on Salon:
“From the NPR story about the difficulty of selling Obama’s health care reforms in Appalachia:
“Mr. RICHIE DRAKE: The health care plan he’s got, Obama, is going to hurt people in the long run. Minorities are going to get more attention than the whites and stuff like that. That’s the way I take it from what the news was talking about.”
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=111273315“
PourMeAGoldWater:
“And why did they boo the ambulance? I don’t get it.”
They mistook it for van carrying dying orphans.
I used to work there as a reporter. I’m guessing that was the local KKK crowd. Don’t forget Tennessee is the birthplace of the Klan.
I’m sure if this was President W and the protesters were sane, rational non-republicans demonstrating against an unpopular war & president they wouldn’t have been allowed within a mile of shouting distance of W or his motorcade. Also, I’m sure the irony of this disparity would be lost on these diabeetus-ridden, BSE beef-eating, inbred, toothless, knuckle-dragging vermin.
All I was thinking when I watched the whole clip what, “why the hell are those morons waiting there to boo a 65 mph motorcade”? Then, when I saw some motorcycles whizzing by I thought, “wouldn’t that be fucking badass if Barack was driving one of those?” Then I thought, “who gives a fuck?”
Then I commented.
BARRAK OBANA IS NOT KENYAN, THAT IS A HOAZ. HE IS WORSE HE IS HAWAIIAN. i REPEATEDLY WARNED YOU. BARRACK OBAMA IS NOTHING MORE THAN AN AGENT OF THE HAWAIIAN ROYAL FAMILY. ONCE INSTALLED AS SUPREME MONARCH OF THE UNITED STATES YOU WILL BE SLAVES TO THE POLINESIAN ROYALLY. iT MAY BE TO LATE BUT IF WE WORK TOGETHER WE CAN PREVENT THE INEVITABLE. SEE WIKIPEDIA, READ ABOUT THE HAWAIIAN MONARCHY. HAWAII IS NOT A DEMOCRACY IT IS A MONARCHY.
johnnypantalones: No, see, the mayan calendar isn’t stopping, it’s rolling over, like cell phone minutes or a Korean SUV.
Hooray For Anything: Minorities are going to get more attention than the whites and stuff like that.
And stuff like that? What the fuck does that even mean? The brain of a true genius at work there. Can’t even fire up enough neurons to complete his racist sentence. When in doubt, or when the grey matter just gives out on you, tack on a and stuff like that. It’ll make you sound ejjamucaded to your less brilliant friends.
GreatOldOnesParty: y’all have the most bitchin’ avatar I ever seen,dawg. If you look closely at that video, you can see Cthulhu in the Wendy’s drive-up lane.
hobospacejunkie: “…diabeetus-ridden, BSE beef-eating, inbred, toothless, knuckle-dragging vermin.”
You forgot “God-bothering” and “cracker.”
The part I liked was at 1:12, where you can hear one bloke shouting “DIRTY COMMIE”
And it’s a good thing that Wendy’s is nearby, too. Otherwise these teabaggers wouldn’t be able to meet the wingnut dietary requirement of 18,000 calories a day primarily from animal fat.
Road kill on the Highway of Progress.
Are all wingnuts unemployed?
JoeMac: Blacks in Bristol?
Last one left a few years back.
queenbitch: So you want the Hindus to worship the red necks? (Ain’t about descending from) (and they really don’t worship cows either but anyway)
A previous name for Bristol,VA was Rock Ridge, VA, that is before snowbilly grifters started naming their spawn after cream sherry and forms of teh mathematics.
BaconatorGrams for Mongos!

0:39 = hideous chubble beasts, enter stage left.
And last week there was a healthcare weekend where doctors, nurses and dentists gave their time to help the poor people who live in this very area….hundreds upon hundreds showed up.
Same sounds were heard ~146 years ago, as Pickett’s Division was crushed at Cemetery Ridge…’ceptin’ these here folk withdrew to the comfort of climate control, fine fast food vittles and comestibles, and NASCAR.
Instead of giving these nuts healthcare, we should send them cigarettes and tanning salon gift cards. It’s time to clean the scum out of the gene pool.
SpecialHorse: And yet you still wasted less time than those idiots on the street.
I was saying “Boo-urns”
TGY: i love you.
A guy yells, “Obama lies - Obama dies!” at about 1:30…
widget09: Neither does the Constitution. Forget about natural born–Obama’s presidency is prima facie unconstitutional.
Biblioteca means library. Lol. And no it’s not unconstitutional. Don’t use latin if you don’t know what it means. Even in a sarcastic manner that was an absolutely retarded thing to say.
