The racists are getting so creative! Someone in an Obama mask, whipping an old man and a fetus. Apparently we missed *this* on our field trip to Reston, Virginia the other night; we fully apologize. [Slog]

Needs more explosions.
In their defense, this little skit is better than bringing a gun to the event. Better by far.
The Passion of the OBamaCare
Why does every Fundie movie have be a variation of “Passion of the Jew Baiting Christier”?
Is that Dick Cheney with the walker? If so, harder!
She’s clearly being punished by that baby, dragging it around like a ball and chain on the ground.
Did she really say “Don’t hit me no more, massa!” at the end?
xdcfvgbhnjmk,l
Sorry about that. My jaw hit the keyboard. Is she actually saying, “Don’t hit me no more, Massa”?
Sweet chocolate baby jesus, but that is some FUCKED. UP. sex-play in public.
There is no way this is going to win a Tony. Not enough dancing homosexuals.
Is it me or does that Obama mask look like a Nixon Mask that someone used a little boot polish on?
Wingnuts have some catching up to do on their street theatre. Guys, really, you could go to a couple teach-ins or something.
“OMFG” pretty much sums it up. You just can’t ask for more commitment from “actors.” The production values (particularly that crystal clear digital audio) are in keeping with the right wing nut’s high standards. From videography to solid and sensible political thinking, they’re really on the ball.
I did not know the KKK did community theater.
Finally I understand the health care debate. I was previously confused about the public option, single-payer, Medicare, whether the English system is really better, and so on. This little tableau vivante has cleared everything up.
[re=397638]whiskey tango foxtrot[/re]: Really. Where are the giant puppet heads?
Isn’t that the rooftop where the Beatles played?
She needs to cut that umbilical cord asap.
Who was that masked man?
Turns out these are Aetna executives.
[re=397634]Min[/re]: That’s the worst case of irony deficiency I’ve ever seen.
[re=397635]drrty martini[/re]: That was my thought. I’m all for olds screaming their heads off about bullshit, utterly randomly – that’s what being old is all about – but when they start with costume play in the middle of a public street, nobody wants to know some old’s sex dreams.
This is the moment when the RNC comes out of character, bows, then announces “And scene.” Right?
Yep, a crack head whorish racist lady, a fat slob in black face, and an old bitter fuck all acting like retards. Welcome to the new Republican party.
Somehow I think the scariest thing for the Tea Baggers isn’t that Obama is portrayed as killing old people and aborting babies but Obama is portrayed as whipping white people.
[re=397633]Dear Diorama[/re]: She was saying it the entire time.
It’s Virginia. Just an homage to the Old South, where slaves were happy, singing in the fields and pickin’ terbacky. Nothin’ to see. Move along.
[re=397658]El Pinche[/re]:
It’s not new. Just out in the open.
I have no hope for this country with these kinds of fucks in it. Can we please fire up the death panels, like, yesterday?
If wingnut mommas drag their babies across the floor by their umbilical cords, I guess we can figure out what happened to Trig.
And the asshole with the Obama mask on should stop by my place after 8:00 tonight so I can teach him how to properly use that whip.
My head. It’s exploding.
The character arc of the old man lacked credibility for me. That, together with the tepid commitment of the master in whipping and the complete failure of the woman to project emotion should mean a very short run for this production.
1/2 ☻ out of ☻☻☻☻☻
Needs more insanity.
Bullshit. This video does not contain an actual death panel where you must joust with other olds to stay alive. MORE BLOODSHED PLEASE.
Reminds me of the scene in Harvey where Veta shouts, “He’s a white slaver!”
In this case I would recommend that every person in the production take the injection.
[re=397637]QuestionEvil[/re]: Yes, why is a tanned Richard Nixon whipping that old man?
Or is this a scene from the re-make of Point Break?
Looks like Nipsy Russell.
The part of the doctor was played with gusto and verve and the girl had a delightful cameo role. A puckish satire of contemporary mores. A droll spoof aimed more at the heart than the head.
[re=397677]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: “100% pure adrenaline!”
[re=397637]QuestionEvil[/re]: win,
Subtle.
At this point, I think we can all safely expect everything to get much, much worse. Thank dog for Wonkette.
What a total mischaracterization and a poorly executed piece !
Completely unbelieveable sez I
Why, “obama” isn’t even wearing a brown uniform with jhodpurs or a hitler mustache !!
[re=397674]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: NEEDZ MOAR FEETUSS!!!
[re=397671]Mull_Man[/re]: Smiling blackface unicode, nice.
A tan blazer and Khakis was the best that arsehole could muster when trying to dress presidential? And an emaciated white meth-head with no teeth is protesting AGAINST affordable health care? Or does she just get off on racebaiting roleplay? I think my brain just keeled over in a pile of its own vomit.
On the positive side, that’s the second brown face I’ve seen at one of their rallies.
[re=397671]Mull_Man[/re]: I concur. One simply doesn’t portray the “successor to Hitler” as having a limp-wristed whipping technique. The scene lacks the frenetic, demonic, and urgent energy that the real Obama, the aforementioned successor to Hitler, has been bringing to the Healthcare debate. All-in-all a disappointing outing by the actors. They’ve utterly failed to capture the essence of the character, scenario, and context. A proscenium arch would have tied the whole thing together: The scene would have worked better as a hanging.
[re=397688]Gopherit[/re]: Also, where’s the Americorps Shock Troops?
That is the best teaser video I have ever seen. I’m ready to pay for premium access.
You people just don’t recognize creative genius when you see it. The fetus is a metaphor for the plight of the honey bee which is now being decimated by man’s mistreatment to the environment which is represented by the old man passing gas. The guy with the whip is Harry from down the road. He’s not right in the head.
[re=397691]Gopherit[/re]: Yes, but the first was carrying an assault rifle so I am not sure he counts.
Hole. Lee. Shit.
[re=397692]I-man[/re]: They obviously haven’t been boning up on their Rifestahl
[re=397635]drrty martini[/re]: I was going to say, these people always play out their deepest desires by prostesting too much. We KNOW what they want Hopey to do to them. Hard. And repeatedly.
Are thise “truck nutz” on the bottom of that walker?
The whole thing was directed by Randall Terry—he had a brief cameo as a lab coat-wearing doctor stabbing a pregnant lady in the stomach—and was apparently pretty epic.
Causes I’m contributing to in the following year:
1.) Amnesty International
2.) ACLU
3.) Secret Service
Have they apologized for the fundie nutbag who kidnapped the girl and kept her in his yard for years? His blog is still up, for now!

I am curious to see how this turns out to be Bill Clinton’s fault, somehow.
looks more like OJ/Sammy Davis, Jr./Nipsy Russell, but we get the point, any old black man mask will do. whats the over-under on how long til these tards just say fuck it and dress up in black face like a minstrel show. i give it a couple weeks. any takers.
on a side note, their acting blows…
With no sound, it kinda looks like an old anti-drug PDA from when I was in school. That lady certainly seems no stranger to snorting pink nazi-crank off a truck stop men’s room floor for blow jobs.
Or a John Waters movie.
I assume that was the thinnest person they could find who was willing to wear the
Kurt RussellObama mask. Have they ever seen Barry? No paunch on our President.[re=397634]Min[/re]: Why yes. Yes she did. Rethug humor strikes again. Oh no. “strike”! Get it! Ha ha ha.
Its not surprising that the radical Right is putting on all of these elaborate theatrical productions. I heard that a lot of them, like Dick Cheney and Alan Keys, have daughters who are thespians.
What this flick really needs a Scarface ending – Al Pacino busts into the scene at the end and introduces the clan of assclowns to his little friend.
[re=397708]wx insider[/re]: Hah, check it out!
When the “Death Panel” crap started, it remided me of Vonnegut’s Ethical Suicide Parlors. One next to each Howard Johnsons, but instead of an orange roof the Ethical Suicide Parlors had a purple roof to be able to tell the difference.
Ok Gramps, just make it down and back and you can have your creamed corn. No, don’t pay them any mind. A who is doing what to you? I don’t see anyone dear, and they don’t have negroes down here anymore…
[re=397658]El Pinche[/re]: As a Virginia slims ad would say… They’ve come a long way baby
[re=397671]Mull_Man[/re]: The production lost a lot with the unexpected loss of Jeremy Piven.
[re=397708]wx insider[/re]: Those are walker-balz
What the fuck has happened to Mel Brooks’ standards? He goes from “The Producers” running a hundred years on Broadway to this piece of shit? Now I suppose Jim is going to tell me that Susan Strohman (sp) directed it.
I knew times were tough, but I thought Brooks could live off royalties the rest of his–Damn. Is this his way of asking for help from the Obama death machine? Hiding his call for help in a satirical piece of crap?
Hey, speaking of–anyone seen “In the Loop” yet? Thank God Tulsa has an artsy-fartsy theater that’s going to start running it Labor Day Weekend. I’m hoping for a family outing, since it looks like our kind of family comedy. The kind of family that watches “The Ref” together every Xmas, that is.
[re=397710]Extemporanus[/re]: That “someone in an Obama mask” IS Randall Terry.
[re=397719]liquiddaddy[/re]: PalmPilot or kissing in the hallway?
[re=397649]Uncle Sam[/re]: And where’s the bloody placenta? This thing’s not going to win any awards, that’s for sure. Even as I type this, there are wingers out there cruising slaughter houses in the hope of improving the special effects of their little–satire? parody? No? Okay, their sick little skit. Yeah, that about nails it. I am so tired of fucktards.
[re=397739]DustBowlBlues[/re]: we saw it an missed half the dialogue because everyone in the audience, ourselves included, were howling with laughter. It was terrific.
Forget Rush Limbaugh. Corky for Waiting for Guffman is the new head of the Republican Party.
[re=397679]Norbert[/re]: As for me I’m planning to spend the next three days in a brothel. Care to come with me?
Just watched again and decided what it’s really missing is that, when they get to the wall, the negro Nixon guy should throw the oldtard off the roof. This thing could have been so improved if they had asked wonkerattis to critique it before the release date. Oh, and thanks to Keith O, I now know who Randall Terry is. And I am afraid. He’s bound to show up here in Okrastan.
Speaking of Dust Bowl! The Guardian is doing a video series, retracing the Joads trek across America, and began with a charity clinic in Tulsa where many are getting their only chance at health care. I didn’t even know there were here until a young British friend sent me the link on FB. Shit. I would have asked them to tea. Or, Shite, I mean.
I get the feeling these folks have not actually read a lot of federal legislation. What, exactly, do they think is actually in the proposed healthcare bills?
§666. Federal compensation for whipping and killing fat old white republicans.
(a) Any health care provider, as defined in §1 of the Act, who whips, beats, or otherwise abuses a fat old white Republican shall be entitled to compensation at taxpayer expense at a rate to be set by the Death Panel established under §13 the Act.
(1) Compensation for whipping, beating, or otherwise abusing fat old white Republicans shall be in addition to and shall not reduce compensation paid for killing the same fat old white Republican individuals as stipulated under subsection (b) of this section.
(b) Any health care provider, as defined in §1 of the Act, who kills a fat old white Republican shall be entitled to compensation at taxpayer expense at a rate to be set by the Death Panel established under §13 the Act.
I watched this crap for 33 seconds expecting to see a money shot.
throw in a midget, and you’ve got a David Lynch movie.
Now we know what project those “movie industry conservatives” that Breitbart sucks up to are involved with.
[re=397677]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: “point break” HAHAHAHA
[re=397744]Come here a minute[/re]: No se, vien paca. But your question sounds nasty, and I laughed when I read it. So, if you just rhetorically chopped my nuts off, we’re both happy.
These folks were at Burning Man a few years back, except the old timer was naked and had a boner.
That was the lamest flashmob I’ve ever seen.
Maybe some Orrin Hatch on backup vocals?
Les Miserables, indeed
OK, I’m now convinced: I want have an abortion now.
[re=397742]The Power of Wheat[/re]: That’s what I thought at first, too.
However, the photographic evidence obtained by Mr. & Mrs. Sara K. Newell while attending this event appears to indicate that “Obama” is actually Randall’s red-shirted, portly cohort, to whom he’s loaned his threadbare beige blazer.
In the old days you whipped the nigra. In the Obama era the nigra whips you!
[re=397812]imissopus[/re]:
I believe you meant, “In Communist ‘merica, nigra whips you!”
[re=397779]liquiddaddy[/re]: I think you meant PSA, not PDA — no se what you mean by “vien paca”.
[re=397719]liquiddaddy[/re]:
The have it in pink now? Has anyone told Kitty Harris?
[re=397658]El Pinche[/re]: Couldn’t have summed it up any better. Had no idea the KKK was grooming thespian shock-troops.
[re=397798]Guppy06[/re]: I have always advocated retroactive abortion… Limbaugh, Beck, etc. It would be a nicer, more civilized world, for sure.
[re=397746]Doglessliberal[/re]: Thanks. I can’t wait. The trailers are hysterical. Malcolm is that guy they called Blair’s Karl Rove. The Scottish guy–Alistair something?

[re=397715]superfecta[/re]: It’d be an interesting psychological experiment to see how many of the angry comments on that blog refer to ass rape. Ass rape is of course the worst punishment possible in the psychic economy of heteronormative consumer society, which is why it is not only tolerated but encouraged in prisons.

So you’re saying that my “YOBAMA Wants to Gay Abort our White Christian Grandmothers to the Muslin Moon-God and ACORN, Also. (www.wonkette.com)” sign can be on the side of teh Bitterz?
WIN!
[re=397833]user-of-owls[/re]: WIN
needs a little work, no?
[re=397705]Doglessliberal[/re]: Well, yes. The manifest content of these protests is bad enough, but what it says about the latent content is hilarious – or would be, if it weren’t so terrifying at the same time.
[re=397719]liquiddaddy[/re]: She’s like a Plywood Dinner Theatre impersonation of Edith the Egg Lady.
Mmmm. What mask? That’s tan-boy John Boeher beating Teddy with a crowbar.
You know, summer is almost over. Aren’t there some French protests of God-knows-what we can get some pics of? Been a while since we’ve had pics of large gendarmes versus barely-dressed and barely-legal girls. Maybe something to show Blackface Nixon how it should be done?
I’ll be damned. NIXON has been reincarnated. And I thought he was a dark as he could be. And beating Dick Cheyney? Whats with that?
Hey drftjgoj, get it right. Its “comnist merca”
So somebody tell me if I understand this. As far as I can tell, this little comedy troupe thinks since we have a black president, he must want to enslave and whip all the white women and, because he’s a Democrat, force them to have abortions. And they think that once we see their little skit we will realize that health care reform is really all about forcing white women to have abortions and we will oppose it and lynch the uppity nigra. Is that it? But then why whip the old black guy? or is the message that if health care reform is enacted, we will all be whipped by black men? This is confusing and must be deeper than I thought.
i would like to see tarantino’s version of this. you just KNOW that fetus would figure prominently.
plus, you know chapter titles.

[re=397818]Come here a minute[/re]: `You are exactly right about “PSA.” Sorry. My horrible spanglish it meant to convey, “Hey come here.” As in, “vien paca out of that swollen ditch you little motherfuckers!”

[re=397941]ladymacbeth[/re]: The old guy does look a little gimp-like…
If Tarantino did do this, there would be about fifteen minutes of dialogue before anything happened and then the aborted fetus would join up with a whole bunch of other aborted fetuses and blast the Obama character with machine gun bullets and maybe a scalping or two, all to the strains of an Enrico Morricone composition. The entire scene, of course, would exactly mirror a scene done by some obscure 70′s era B Movie Korean director that he watched while working at the video store while high on mushrooms. Needless to say, the scene would be awesome.
Boy, Barry put on weight.
And here’s something I don’t get: why do conservatives seem convinced that Democrats are *forcing* mothers to have abortions? It’s like that wingnutty political cartoonist who gave Barack trophies for “most abortions like ever, fer serious” and who shows Obama slickly tricking pregnant women into his death clinics. Do they even KNOW what the word “choice” in Pro-Choice means? I’m pretty sure the movement isn’t called Pro-Eugenics. Of course my boyfriend’s roommate’s girlfriend seems convinced that I’ve personally aborted a fetus myself, so I suppose connection to reality was never a serious component of the Lifers.

What ever happened to older people having some sort of dignity?
[re=397962]Potater[/re]: Because they’re paranoid and crazy. The know that the demographics in this country don’t favour them: 50 years from now, whites will be the minority, white kids today will have grown up and will be less racist, and everyone who went through the communist scare will be dead, so that socialism won’t freak them out. A heaven for some, a hell for others.

tis great union has a $100 trillion shortfall with Social Security
http://mwhodges.home.att.net/cur-year-deficit-trusts.htm#$44%20Trillion
and there has been only one 10 year period in the past 100 years tat the national debt has went down….1920-1930.
America is $57 trillion in debt and for sum thig reason the nincompoops in D. C. don’t want the “we the people” to know jus how it got there…
well, if the American consumer takes up 70% of the GDP and they spend half their George Washington’s (dollars) on foreign made it would take bout 17 to 20 years to have most all the “Washington’s” stuck in a foreign bank.
now! look at the largest company “Retail” in America…
quote*Wal-Mart firmly believes in local procurement. We recognize that by purchasing quality products, we can generate more job opportunities, support local manufacturing and boost economic development. Over 95% of the merchandise in our stores in China is sourced locally. We have established partnerships with nearly 20,000 suppliers in China. *end quote!
Now! if there be 182 country’s making items for the world to buy and they have only 5% of the pie in China…duh! This company makes the nice people of China support their currency(yuan) by keeping it in their country working for the people there…. but with the “yuan” going up in value and the US dollar going down…all the foreign items that the American consumer buys thinking it is cheap has went up in price.
People…its all about the currency and to keep a currency strong you got to keep it floating around the country you live in so it can work for you. For the past 12 years all them US dollars are being shipped overseas to a foreign bank and with the American worker not making anything for the foreigner to buy the “we the people” have to turn to the “second” largest employer in America(Uncle Sam) to sell “we the people” debt in order to get all them dollars back!
50 years ago a foreigner would had given their left nut for a US dollar or a Hershey’s chocolate bar and today the same foreigner has got Uncle Sam and the American consumer by both all the while Hershey is moving the chocolate factory to Mexico. Wake up! America and think “MADE IN AMERICA.”

Indeed, scientists have long considered ballast water the primary way invasive aquatic organisms are introduced. From the zebra mussel’s arrival in the Great Lakes, to an American jellyfish severely disrupting Black Sea fisheries, the potential costs of accidental introduction of a species to new homes can be tremendous. Aquatic invasives cost the US $9 billion yearly, according to estimates by David Pimentel, professor emeritus of ecology and evolutionary biology at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y. Zebra and quagga mussels (a cousin to the zebra) alone cost the $1 billion annually.*end quote!
tat is $9 billion a year in hidden taxes to all Americans…
cheap ain’t chic and it cost America…………jobs!
Congress can’t make jobs….if fact…here in the past 46 years the turnips on tat big hill couldn’t pour p^ss out of a boot with the dang instructions on the heel.
Manufacturing is where the jobs are at and jus look at where manufacturing has got it self into….
