Obama Now Sails Under The Flag Of Commie Red China

Treachery! The wingnuts have a new thing to type about: “We now have solid confirmation that the communist government of China did in fact raise their flag above Washington, DC for the first time this past Sunday, September 20, 2009.” Obama, OPEN YOUR EYES! “The communist government of China now owns a great deal of US debt and factions of their military threaten to launch a nuclear strike against the United States over possible conflicts involving our allies in Taiwan. They used to only be able to threaten to destroy the west coast of America, but due to the theft of our two stage missile technology, during the Clinton administration, China now has the nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons and delivery systems to attack every major city in the United States.” These strikes will of course happen tonight, during Jay Leno or whatever, because of the flag thing.

    I heard they were going to bomb the shit out of us in retaliation for sending Sarah Palin over to Hong Kong for her speech today.

    I don’t blame them.

  2. imissopus says at 6:30 pm, September 23rd, 2009

    In retaliation thousands of American citizens now plan to march on Washington with tiny egg rolls attached to their hats.

    Wait until Chimpy McFlightsuit shuffles off this mortal coil and they discover the Saudi flag tattooed on his left buttock.

    I wonder how many local goods or products that were even tangentially involved in producing this flag ceremony, and in covering it, were shipped to their final destination via train. I wonder how many of those goods or products may have originated on the West Coast (or dare say, even further West). Finally, I wonder how many of the goods shipped by rail may have therefore traversed sections of the original Transcontinental Railroad.

    Just wondering.

    This is where Sarah (Queen Esther) of Wasila, swoops in to lead the counter attack, holding up the armies of Gog and Magog for the returning Jeasusto smite.

    Drudge sirens to look for:

    On the CCP being Obama’s new homies: GREAT PEEPS FORWARD!

    On slumping sales for ‘Audacity of Hope’: LITTLE READ BOOK!

    …oh, there’s more.

  10. ManchuCandidate says at 6:36 pm, September 23rd, 2009

    Red China has 20+ ICBMs that can reach most of US America, only a few carry multiple warheads.

    US America has 450 Minuteman III ICBMs that can reach out and touch China + 500 or so Trident II SLBMs and all carry multiple warheads.

    Most importantly, why would China want to blow up it’s biggest customer?

  11. OT, but I was over at the Drudge and saw they fixed the Fox Greta ad (no doubt this is due to my threat to organize a million grammarian march on Fox headquarters).

  12. WhatTheHeck says at 6:39 pm, September 23rd, 2009

    The U.S. flag flies below the Chinese flag because it was made in… China.

  13. Pithaughn says at 6:39 pm, September 23rd, 2009

    Of course way at the bottom of the “article/rant” at WND, they deflate the entire premise of their anger with this “A spokesman for the American Legion told WND that if the proper protocols are followed, there should be no issue with the actual display of a Chinese flag, especially since diplomatic visits routinely include the display of foreign flags. ”
    I’ll tell you what, if the Legion is ok with it then by gawd they should shut up already, and quit whining about the 70 million china mans that got rubbed out by Mao. Have they even caught up to what the US guvmint has done to the injuns right here in merica?

  14. In America you flag pole, in Soviet China pol(ice) flags you! Obama would have been wise to heed the timeless warning of Yakov Smirnoff.

    Nobody puts my B.D.in the corner! Nobody.

  22. Snarkalicious says at 6:49 pm, September 23rd, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: Yeah, China is only communist in terms of population statistics. The few rich-ass fuckers at the top aren’t sending shit this way but consumer electronics, polo shirts and ‘Made In America’ product tags.

  23. I wonder how many times the US American flag has flown at the Olympics following a curling match? kin’ Canada City wins alla time!

  25. slappypaddy says at 6:52 pm, September 23rd, 2009

    yes, it’s true, and a sad sad day it is. the communist capitalist government of china, after a fierce firefight with the valiant teabagger brigade of the ayn rand wing of the freedom party of the shadow government of the benighted states a-murky, raised its bloody standard over the smoking ruins of our blasted temples of liberty. it wasn’t reported by the msm, they’re all part of the conspiracy of silence. spread the word! tell everyone you know!

  26. Well, shit, if we fly the Chinese flag above this country, then won’t they be *unlikely* to bomb us?

    CLEVER THINKING!

  27. Certainly, no other president would ever have allowed this.

    Sheesh.

  39. I’m not sure ALIPAC understood their target demographic when they named themselves after notorious negro militant Cassius Clay.

  40. Yes, the Chinese own lots of our debts and are planning to bomb us in order to profit from making all that debt unrecoverable by annihilating their biggest customers. Not to mention the world financial collapse that would shortly follow.

    Clearly coherent thought is in short supply these days.

    The missile technology theft bullshit claim is yet another conservative lie. The theft was discovered during the Clinton administration, which is like blaming Obama for Abu Ghraib.

    I realize mandarin is the national language, Putahngwa Tsei, but Cantonese is just cold bangin’ sexier than mandarin by a factor of ten, all those soft little “la’s’” and “lo’s” and that little turned up “mah?” at the end of every question. That and when you speak mandarin you look and sound like your eating rancid shit.

  53. “Chinamen?” Did someone say “Chinamen”?:

    Col. Andy Tanner: …The Russians need to take us in one piece, and that’s why they’re here. That’s why they won’t use nukes anymore; and we won’t either, not on our own soil. The whole damn thing’s pretty conventional now. Who knows? Maybe next week will be swords.
    Darryl Bates: What started it?
    Col. Andy Tanner: I don’t know. Two toughest kids on the block, I guess. Sooner or later, they’re gonna fight.
    Jed Eckert: That simple, is it?
    Col. Andy Tanner: Or maybe somebody just forget what it was like.
    Jed Eckert: …Well, who *is* on our side?
    Col. Andy Tanner: Six hundred million screaming Chinamen.

    We nuke them, we lose everything we use.

  83. Mad Brahms says at 10:17 pm, September 23rd, 2009

    So tedious. I once worked in municipal public affairs for a small border city. The populace just about soiled themselves when a Mexican consulate was established, and began flying the Mexican flag. We had a few flag courts with the flags of other countries alongside the U.S. flag, and I would routinely (1-2 times per month) get inquiries about why our flag was not flying higher than the others. I studied up on the U.S. Flag Code more than I ever wanted to, committed to memory the phrase “When flown with the national banner of other countries, each flag must be displayed from a separate pole of the same height” . . . and even went so far as to call the U.S. State Department Office of Protocol. After a lengthy conversation, the cordial and long-patient woman I spoke with said essentially, “the U.S. is a free country — you can fly any flag you want, and the government won’t tell you what flag you can or cannot fly. You could fly the Communist flag over your house if you wanted to (W’s admin, BTW). Our primary concern is that the U.S. flag be displayed respectfully, and we would expect that those of other countries be displayed in such a manner also.”

Since Kentucky is one of those Red-state-socialist welfare moneypits, maybe the Obama gouvernment shouldn’t take a census there, and thus NOT allocate any federal money there… that way, the good peepul of Kentucky would be free of Negro KenyaMuslin CommiNazi colored Dominion - and LURVE IT

    Speaking of things found in Kentucky Cemeteries, why haven’t we been hearing much about Steve Nunn?
    Also, Hart County and Clay County both have 4 letters.

    Also, why isn’t Wonkette all over the Mackenzie Philips thing? It has sex, drugs and references to 60s pop culture all over it. I’d have thought it was right up our Creek Alley.

  116. China owns us? Such stop-the-press news.

    Joe Biden on Republicans: “I mean, c’mon, man?” Best. Argument. Ever. Literally.

    sigerson: they are masters of cognitive dissonance, that’s for sure

  119. The wingnuts don’t seem to have so much of the anti-Chinese hostilities when they buy those Vizio HDTVs.

  121. Neilist: Isn’t it “On the origin of species”?

  122. The Chinese flag replaced the Kenyan flag. Happy now, Orly?

  123. Why shouldn’t they fly thier flag over America? They own it.

    dijetlo:

    That kind of dialect preference is highly personal. For example in northern China at least, people think certain southern dialects can make men who speak them sound too soft and indecisive because they’re not sharp, crisp enough, and the trailing sound at the end of sentence make it sound like you’re negotiating/asking for permission. A classic example of this is the cognitive dissonances created whenver the Luo Xiaohu character in Crouching Tiget Hidden Dragon speaks: he is supposed to be this desert eagle/lone wolf type, but he is super soft spoken, even more so that the spoiled girl he’s chasing after.

    And you should see the reactions I get when I tell my non-Chinese speaking friends directions to my favorite restaurant in NYC Chinatown: just go down on Mott and then take a left around Mei Dick (http://www.yelp.com/biz/mei-dick-new-york). Sexy indeed.

    zhubajie: in Russia during the revolution the communists were the Reds and the Czarists were the Whites, so in most communist countries white is associated with conservative. Is it true here in U.S. as well?

  125. When we’ve spent our last equity-line dollar on cheap crap at Walmart and the Chinese missles come screaming in over what’s left of the polar ice-cap I just hope Jane Velez-Mitchell chooses MY fallout shelter to huddle in…
