Why Did Obama Destroy CHRISTmas by Doing His Speech On Snoopy Night?

by Ken Layne

1:58 pm December 1, 2009

Sorry couldn't find a Snoopy picture.Barack Obama is taking a break from his favorite non-golf game (enraging liberal bloggers) by returning to his actual mission in life, which is shitting on the holy infant Jesus Christ. That’s right, Obama’s Afghanistan War Pornography was deliberately timed to CANCEL the annual repeat of the Snoopy cartoon, A Charlie Brown Xmas. But, eh, CBS will just run it next week, who fucking cares, watch it on YouTube if you want, it’s not 1965. [Mcall.com]

Wait, are we supposed to eat taco salad for Xmas dinner now?

Nikolai Vsevolodovich Stavrogin December 1, 2009 at 2:01 pm

The photo, the alt-text. Cryptic.

Geico Taco Salad would like to talk to you about car insurance.

I remember the first time they ran the Snoopy special. Afghanistan was at war then. And in 1966, 1967, 1968 …

user-of-owls December 1, 2009 at 2:06 pm

He shoulda bit Frosty’s style. Frosty sucks, fuckin’ Charlie Brown/Rudolph wannabe. Anything after 1965 is punk-ass derivative.

Canmon (the Inadequate) December 1, 2009 at 2:07 pm

GOOD GRIEF!

rachelv December 1, 2009 at 2:09 pm

Too bad, the wingnuts could stand to hear Charlie Brown lecture them about the commercialization of CHRISTmas, what with their obsession with rating the stores according to whether the clerks are CHRISTmas-friendly, negligent or offensive.

user-of-owls December 1, 2009 at 2:09 pm

[re=469017]nbawriter[/re]: Vietnam, too. As a kid, it was hard to tell sometimes whether you were watching a sports wrapup show or the evening news, what with Uncle Walter having the daily dead stats with the Us and Them teams on a graphic behind him. This is true, you can look it up.

[re=469016]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: Honestly, how many calories could possibly be in a doughy fried bowl of Hell and Regret?

chascates December 1, 2009 at 2:11 pm

But the Grinch will still be on, right? RIGHT?!?!

shortsshortsshorts December 1, 2009 at 2:13 pm

BUT I THOUGHT SNOOPY DIED FOR OUR SINS??

WadISay December 1, 2009 at 2:14 pm

Conservatives are so good at spotting gay messaging in cartoons. Hint: castrator “Lucy” “takes away” the “football” (symbolizing masculinity) from Charlie Brown. Run with it, Focus on the Family.

Extemporanus December 1, 2009 at 2:14 pm

Nice photo, Ken, but what the hell does Lou Dobbs have to do with this story?!

queeraselvis v 2.0 December 1, 2009 at 2:15 pm

At least Barry didn’t pre-empt the gayest 3 minutes 28 seconds of holiday television programming EVAR. Because that would’ve been just too much.

magic titty December 1, 2009 at 2:17 pm

The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown totally pwns that weakass Christmas special anyway.

Servo December 1, 2009 at 2:20 pm

I thought they hated Peanuts because of that dyke Peppermint Patty.

tootsieroll December 1, 2009 at 2:21 pm

That site is prime for warblogging. Have you read the retarded comments?

AbstinenceOnly Ed December 1, 2009 at 2:21 pm

Snoopy was unavailable for comment, as he was honeymooning in Vanuatu with his husband Tinkie Winkie.

DickTaterPeeNoShay December 1, 2009 at 2:23 pm

[re=469034]chascates[/re]: Yes, the Cheney interview will be aired in its entirety.

comicbookguy December 1, 2009 at 2:25 pm

[re=469062]Servo[/re]: For the last time Peppermint Patty isn’t gay, she’s athletic. Have you not noticed how she keeps trying to make it with Charlie Brown? Marcy is the gay one.

And say what you will about LBJ’s escalation in Vietnam, at least he didn’t interrupt Snoopy to do it.

Sharkey December 1, 2009 at 2:28 pm

What?!? Linus’s thumb isn’t going to suck itself.

AbstinenceOnly Ed December 1, 2009 at 2:28 pm

[re=469077]comicbookguy[/re]: But it DID result in the deaths of many Charlies.

user-of-owls December 1, 2009 at 2:32 pm

[re=469045]Extemporanus[/re]: “That image is very disturbing. I wish you’d have chosen something else. I realize that it’s a shameful part of American history that we should never forget, but it’s too much.”

Servo December 1, 2009 at 2:32 pm

[re=469077]comicbookguy[/re]:
Oh, yeah. Silly me. Peppermint Patty is the slut. Got it.

bitchincamaro December 1, 2009 at 2:32 pm

The whole xmas/Nam/destroy thing works a whole lot better when you include a little napalm, doncha’ know.

thefrontpage December 1, 2009 at 2:34 pm

Today, we’re all Charlie Browns.

V572625694 December 1, 2009 at 2:36 pm

Barry, can’t you do anything right? Bowing to the emperor, shaking hands with party crashers, and now this. Voting for him is beginning to seem like a big mistake.

Cicada December 1, 2009 at 2:38 pm

[re=469066]tootsieroll[/re]: It really is a retard-o-palooza over there. On the bright side, it’s nice to see that the communist,muslim, islamofascist, teleprompter etc, etc, memes are still going strong in Wingnutville. I would hate to think they had dialed it down a notch in the interest of appearing sane.

TGY December 1, 2009 at 2:42 pm

Today, we are all the Raggedy-Ass Christmas Tree.

Sharkey December 1, 2009 at 2:47 pm

[re=469066]tootsieroll[/re]: I just wrote a retarded comment :)

pampl December 1, 2009 at 2:47 pm

Today, we are all “we are all” jokes

PsycGirl December 1, 2009 at 2:48 pm

A story on NPR a few years ago suggested that CBS HATED “A Charlie Brown Christmas” before they first showed it and was prepared to show it once and then bury it. Oops, the viewing public loved it, guess they were wrong.
There is an analogy there but I’m not up to developing it.

bago December 1, 2009 at 2:52 pm

Sweet Jesus, they went full-retard! (vis-a-vis the commentary)

AnnieGetYourFun December 1, 2009 at 2:55 pm

So, am I the only besides Obama who doesn’t like Charlie Brown. Like, at all? I seriously hate that fucking series.

Sharkey December 1, 2009 at 3:02 pm

[re=469153]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: I’m with you. I can still watch the “Year Without a Santa Claus” or “Rudolph”, without puking, but the rest are just dreck. Charlie Brown and Grinch included.

Servo December 1, 2009 at 3:04 pm

[re=469153]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]:
They need to have some balance by creating a Christopher Titus version for the dysfunctional majority.

SayItWithWookies December 1, 2009 at 3:06 pm

[re=469153]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: That special is one of the few things I like about Christmas — probably more because of Vince Guaraldi’s music than the story, though.

The Revolutionary December 1, 2009 at 3:14 pm

Snoopy is white… Obama is black… maybe Glenn Beck was right about this whole “Obama is racist” thing.

norbizness December 1, 2009 at 3:16 pm

Fine, I’m sick of hearing Linus’ bullshit religious speech for like the 30th time in my life anyway.

coolcatdaddy December 1, 2009 at 3:23 pm

Today, we are all tacos.

With big eyes.

proudgrampa December 1, 2009 at 3:27 pm

[re=469048]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: Now THAT was the creepiest thing I’ve ever seen!

el donaldo December 1, 2009 at 3:31 pm

This is what who looked like? I demand context! All images and alt-texts must have a direct bearing on the matter at hand, or your semantic relativism and lack of determinacy will just kill baby Jesus dead again.

And I rewatched after many years part of the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving special last week. God that was awful. Granted that’s one of the lesser rans, but the weren’t working exactly with an excess of talent when they produced those shows.

Car Ramrod December 1, 2009 at 3:35 pm

[re=469062]Servo[/re]: No, it’s all that danged negro music in the background that drives ‘em crazy.

Buzz Feedback December 1, 2009 at 3:40 pm

Boycott Sherman.

Min December 1, 2009 at 4:13 pm

Well, of course. The ugly little runt tree who is transformed by a few shiny balls and tinsel is obviously a metaphor for the teabaggers.

thefrontpage December 1, 2009 at 4:28 pm

Today, we’re all Peppermint Patties.

Joehoya December 1, 2009 at 4:29 pm

And this year “Great Pumpkin” was preempted in the D.C. area by a special on the Virginia governor’s race. Why does the Establishment hate Snoopy?

comicbookguy December 1, 2009 at 4:55 pm

Is this that “white culture” Glenn Beck was going on about?

Decker December 1, 2009 at 5:39 pm

I’m more disappointed in Scrubs being pre-empted.

Or you could just compromise, go to the youtube and watch the Scrubs Charlie Brown special

[re=469190]The Revolutionary[/re]:
Snoopy has large black ears, clearly he is Obama from the past. Obama is a shapeshifter, werewolf, sekrit muslin.

desertwind December 1, 2009 at 6:27 pm

Oh, great. I don’t even need to watch it to have the damned theme song running through my head.

Thanks for mentioning the show, Ken! Thanks a lot.

oldguy December 2, 2009 at 12:00 am

Thanks a heap for the link. That is the weirdest collection on loons on the planet. I hope. “Just what you’d expect from this White House not to check for conflicts like this…”

On the other hand, at least we’re not Swiss.

LowerdPeninsula December 2, 2009 at 3:23 am

I find myself in rare agreement with some of the loons. I’d have much rather watched Charles Schulz subtle Christian morality play than watching our president shamelessly double down (even having the gall to evoke 9/11) on death. Needless to say I didn’t watch that either. There is not anything he could have said that I either wanted or needed to hear. He’s really playing on my last nerve. He’s still looking to appearse conservatives, but they attack them, anyway (i.e. attacking him for announcing a deadline). You can’t win when you straddle the fence. You eventually get gored by it.

Boondock Saint December 2, 2009 at 7:09 am

Is taco salad the secret service name for liz cheney?
