Things that have been making the rounds today: this e-mail, sent to most members of Congress. Have they even acted on it yet? Of course not. DOUBLE-ARREST THESE CRIMINALS AGAIN! PLEASE! Especially fatter Andrew Sullivan in the center-bottom there, even though he’s white.
Here is the comedic introduction to this same wingnut’s e-mail:
IT’S SO UNNATURAL!

Every time someone was arrested in a white collar during the bush administration, I assumed they were wearing the Bush/Cheney campaign outfit.
Most of the people who would have worn BUSH t-shirts should have been arrested, but haven’t.
Well, Republican criminals are usually wearing suits when they get caught…what am I saying, “get caught.”
I think we started this… http://wonkette.com/405051/common-criminals-love-barack-obama
I did see a mug shot of a dude with a Sam Adams shirt. Wasn’t he president?
Uhhh…was there ever a t-shirt made with any of those cockheads on it? Or you know, an Internet available where pictures of arrested humans were so easily accessible?
Meh. Whatever, just give me my Obamacrime t-shirt, so I can kill whiteys in style. Or am I supposed to steal the t-shirt from someone and then kill whitey – is that how this works?
Not one of the tens of Americans who wore an ‘Eisenhower’ t-shirt, decades before slogans on t-shirts became common, was ever arrested.
Gee whiz, Mr. Newell, you didn’t identify the sender of that thoughtful e-mail, or even give us his home address.
The Enron guys, Scooter Libby, Jack Abramoff, Duke Cunningham… none of them wore tee shirts. But it’s probably they had ‘publican neckties or lapel pins.
Hey, maybe they were innocent until proven guilty. Maybe the police didn’t like their choice in Presidents and decided to stop them for some bullshit charge. Driving While Black or something like that. Maybe if only 15 people were arrested last year while wearing Obama shirts, out of the millions who were stopped that means Obama shirt-wearers are really pretty decent people. Maybe they were arrested for protesting something political and immediately released after the event was over. You know, like the Republican Convention.
I’ll stop there.
I do recall being arrested for civil disobedience around Central America in my ‘Hey Reagan: Go eat a bag of salted rats’ dicks’ t-shirt, so, suck it, email dude.
[re=526301]magic titty[/re]: Your supposed to kill someone, take their t-shirt, then go on to kill more people. Taking those other victims’ t-shirts is optional.
This meme went around the first time shortly after the election. I’m glad to see the Republiklans haven’t gotten smart enough to come up with something different.
Re: “Did you ever see anyone arrested wearing a Bush t-shirt….”
Every idjit knows that black people couldn’t vote until 2008.
The people who would theoretically wear tees featuring those venerable old heads-of-state only commit white-collar crimes anyway, and you don’t get regular arrested for those, you get house arrested.
Time to pull out all those pictures of arrestees wearing Three Wolf Moon tees. Oh, and just to revisit the fun Amazon reviews: http://www.amazon.com/Mountain-Three-Wolf-Short-Sleeve/dp/B002HJ377A
I’m sure all these guys turned out to be guilty of whatever they were arrested for, also, too. Because Lord knows no one has ever been wrongfully arrested in America, particularly not black people.
Just after ten A.M. on Monday on the West Coast. Too early in the day/week to start drinking?
Slaves who escaped north wore Abe Lincoln t-shirts. TRUE STORY.
Here is a scarier mugshot.
What a repulsive characterization — we all know Obama supporters don’t shower and shave.
[re=526305]bfstevie[/re]: correcting a typo: ” it’s probable* they had…”
Fortunately, it would be politically incorrect to characterize myself as a retard, or a sloppy typist.
Actually, in that crazy decade, most criminals got Bush cabinet appointments, not tee-shirts.
That message would be that no one made t-shirts of those presidents since they were criminals themselves. Is it really that hard to figure out, wingnuts?
Who the hell ever had a Bob Dole shirt? Or would wear a shirt with anything linked to Bush on it? Bet a lot of drunks have been caught with the Wasilla Snowgrifter’s stuff on themselves, though.
At least a couple of these dudes look waaay too happy for me to buy they are mug shots.
[re=526310]GOPCrusher[/re]: That picture’s a screen grab from The Smoking Gun’s 2008 Mug Shots of the Year. The email itself first started making the rounds in January of ’09
(if not earlier).
So, if it’s making the rounds today, either somebody’s grandpa finally found the old cat food coupon with their AOL email account password scrawled on it, or I’ve gone back in time.
My money’s on “back in time”.
Origins of this is a Texas judge:
http://rawstory.com/blog/2009/08/texas-judge-criminals-support-obama/
Anyone caught wearing a Bob Dole t-shirt ought to be arrested on G.P. Period. Personally, I don’t think Elizabeth Dole ever wore a Bob Dole t-shirt – let alone anyone else. I do think some of his supporters wore Bob Dole Depends, however.
When t-shirts are illegal only illegals will have t-shirts. Or something like that…
Maybe we could start circulating an email featuring Michael Steele’s mug shot.
James O’Keefe was wearing a Marco Rubio shirt. I think.
It is a known fact that most Bush voters are arrested shirtless, and on prime time.
Ever watch COPS? It’s nothing but crackers in Freedom Eagles t-shirts.
So how many of them wear a crusifix neckless or tattoo. Thought so, now stfu.
[re=526306]steverino247[/re]: Whatever, hippy.
[re=526322]Extemporanus[/re]: I bet at least 15 people have been arrested in Palin t-shirts tho. I mean shit, crackers DO get arrested for DUI don’t they?
The kids in Bush shirts just call mom and dad before they get to processing.
[re=526326]Tundra Grifter[/re]: She wears a cumstained XXL Bob Dole t-shirt as a nightie.
I think the reason there’s not many photos of criminals being arrested while wearing Bush/Reagan t-shirts is because most of them evaded arrest due to killing themselves after conducting a shooting spree at an IRS building.
St. Ronald Reagan wore crotchless panties and was never arrested. Does this help?
[re=526338]Oldskool[/re]: “…crusifix neckless…?” Crucifixes with no necks? what?
Did you ever see ANYONE wearing a Bush T-shirt, or for you older folks, an Eisenhower?, Gerald Ford?, Ronald Reagan?”
[re=526342]Crank Tango[/re]: You mean THIS Palin t-shirt, or THIS one?
As a retro-anti-cool-ironic hipster, I need to know, which would be MORE retro-anti-cool-ironically hip: an Eisenhower T-shirt or a Gerald Ford t-shirt?
Dude on the top left totally got arrested for trying to buy some bud without a proper doctor’s note.
[re=526342]Crank Tango[/re]: [re=526359]Extemporanus[/re]: Also, if I were ever arrested in a Sarah Palin t-shirt, I’d want it to be THIS one.
7 out of the 8 times I have been arrested I was wearing an Eisenhower t-shirt. The other time I was wearing a J. Edgar Hoover camisole.
18 months ago called, it wants its chain e-mail back.
I’m confused. Are they saying that it’s black people’s fault that our broken legal system, plus ~400 years of oppression, make them roughly 30x more likely to get arrested for a crime than a white person? Or are they saying that it’s a surprise that urban poors (the most likely group to get arrested) are going to vote for candidates that, y’know, help urban poors? Or are they saying that it’s a surprise that non-whites (even the ones that commit crimes) would be very happy about the fact that after 234 years, we finally got around to having a non-white president? Or are they trying for a repeat of the “Obama’s a rock star and I’m a nerd who hates the popular kids” genius that Walnuts! brought to us on the campaign trail?
It’s so confusing, and there’s so many possible meanings. I’m sure the people sending this email around could clear this all up for me, with just one strategic employment of the n-word.
[re=526304]slavojzizek[/re]: True fact: t-shirts with stuff on them were invented by Ed “Big Daddy” Roth in Southern California in the early ’60s (he air-brushed Rat Fink and monsters in hot rods and what not on plain white t-shirts). So no Ike t-shirts.
BTW, can you imagine how incredibly awesome it would be to find a Gerald Ford t-shirt at a vintage store? Especially if it had him wearing a W.I.N. button?
When ever I see someone walking towards me in a Gerald Ford shirt late at night I cross the street.
[re=526356]HuddledMass[/re]: Forgot what they’e called. Most were medallions with the a cross or the Virgin Mary or your favorite saint. Dominus vobiscum, also.
Eisenhower t-shirt?
Is it just me who recalls that when Timothy McVeigh was arrested following the OK City bombing, he was wearing a t-shirt with the teabaggers favorite Jefferson quote about “the blood of patriots and tyrants?”
And is it just me or is a bigger threat to our society some poor schmuck picked up wearing an Obama shirt, or a white supremacist terrorist who truck-bombed 168 people to death?
It’s not a t-shirt, and he hasn’t been arrested, but doesn’t anybody remember this?
http://jonathanlight.com/pic/OSAMA-BIN-LADEN.jpg
[re=526389]Lazy Media[/re]: Is a picture of Ford in a “Big Daddy” Roth t-shirt awesome enough for you?
[re=526362]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: Ford, for sure.
[re=526406]Mr Blifil[/re]:
The Army gives you a set when you enlist.
I’ve never seen anyone arrested wearing a NAMBLA t-shirt either and yet statistically most NAMBLA members are Conservative.
You mean Liddy wasn’t wearing a Nixon shirt when he broke into the DNC???
My grandfather sent me a version of this email a year ago. I made the mistake of looking at it. I have learned since then just to delete his forwarded drek (after I opened the watermelons in the White House garden one, I vowed not to open them because it just made me irate). I love the man, but…

Shorter wingnut email:
Black people are often arrested for things, and also love Barack Obama. COINCIDENCE??!
[re=526406]Mr Blifil[/re]: What, you didn’t order your Eisenhower t-shirt from Threadless back in 1956, or get a freebie in the “Communists Out of Korea” 5K run around the Mall?
[re=526359]Extemporanus[/re]: Valley Trash Classifieds…FOUND: MOOSE. U CATCH, U HAUL.
A while ago I posted a link to the Smoking Gun showing an angry-looking wingnutty type’s mugshot wearing a McCain/Palin polo shirt. I’m too busy showering, shaving, eating oatmeal, and putting on my Obama T-shirt before I grab my 9 and hold up the local Wawa to find the link. Y’all will just have to find it yourself.
Oh! That’s what I wanted to do with my Nixon Now! T-shirt. Good thing I read this. I was just about to knock over a liquor store in my ACORN STAFF outfit.
[re=526305]bfstevie[/re]: American flag lapel pins…
[re=526479]JMP[/re]: Nicely done.
Racism! Catch it!
[re=526465]Doglessliberal[/re]: Well you missed out then. It probably comes as a surprise then that hilary often had lesbian orgies at the WH. My really , really old uncle told me about that, and it had to be true, IT WAS IN THE PAPER!! The paper he got in the checkout aisle at the mega mart that is.
I was in Key West this week and saw that the hot selling T-shirt on Duval Street featured the politically neutral slogan “Fuck you, you fucking fuck.” Are they showing up on mug shots as well? Because, if I was a cop, I’d arrest anyone wearing that T-shirt for — get this — wearing that T-shirt. That, in turn, makes me wonder, how do we know all those guys in the mug shots weren’t arrested by the Republican secret fashion police for wearing an Obama T-shirt?
hmm.
let me do a quick google search for “white male pedophiles”…
oh snap.
I was wearing a Spiro T. Agnew t-shirt that day in high school when my best friend and I got sent to the principal’s office for smoking in the girl’s restroom. So EAT IT email unsocialist person.
[re=526561]american mutt[/re]: Hey — one of the image hits on that search is a video of Jeff Gannon. Hahahahahahaha.
I received the mug shot email more than a year ago. They are different from the ones I’m used to seeing; full body shots; no little boards with numbers tucked up under the chins, the backdrops for the photos are strangely similar, and no reference to where they were taken. Can you say FAKE?
Republicans don’t do petty crimes that show up on the police blotter. They’re serial killers, (i.e. Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacey) or war criminals.
What was McVeigh wearing?
Source?
[re=526544]Pithaughn[/re]: OH WAIT, there was also that one time that the Clinton White House Xmas Tree had hypodermic needles and Crack Spoons hanging from it. I know it’s true because some ex-Secret Service guy whose book was published by Regnery told me so.
Oh yeah…well look at what the Fort Hood shooter was wearing:
http://www.strategypage.com/gallery/images/new_military_uniform.jpg
What conclusions can we draw from that? Exactly, the U.S. military is secretly Mooslin.
What kind of t-shirt was W. wearing in his mug shot?
how many ppl wore reagan n nixon masks while robbing banks back in the day ?
I’m sure those guys have never been over to the Obama’s for dinner. But the white guy is also representative of a class who likes Obama — the young and the future.
[re=526695]Bucky Katt[/re]: an obama t-shirt , just in case
Millions of Obama t-shirts are used by regular folks every day! You can have my Obama t-shirt when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers…
Has anyone ever seen that before and after montage of mug shots called “Faces of Meth” making the rounds on the internet today? They are ALL of white people. There must be a message there, but I can’t quite grasp it…
The right is always sure to wear their flag t-shirts for the big arrests.
According to Tom Tancredo, the only people that voted for Obama were illegal immigrants that can’t speak English. The woman in the third row, maybe, but none of these other people appear to be in the South of the Border group that fuels Tancredo’s ire.
[re=526301]magic titty[/re]:
I once saw a daguerrotype of a scoundrel wearing a Benjamin Harrison ascot.
And, of course, Timothy McVeigh was wearing an Abraham Lincoln T-shirt when he was arrested.
What about the guy that was arrested with an “I’m With Stupid ” tee shirt on. And an American flag lapel pin on it.
Obvious Bush supporter.
Oh, that’s an easy one. They didn’t have shirts back in America’s Golden Era ™, not counting special Mormon underwear. Gentlemen wore lace frocks with ruffles down the front, which they desported while speaking with one another on steam-powered telephonic devices and watching first runs of the anthropological documentary “Leave it to Beaver” which clearly showed there were none of these pesky Africans in the United States prior to 1960, when the secret Kenyan muslin infestation began in Hawaii.
Wasn’t Levi Johnston’s mother wearing “My son knocked up Sarah Palin’s daughter and all I got was this lousy T shirt and felony” shirt when busted?
Shouldn’t that count?
This is great!

[VERY unstable website, by the way!]
A state trooper was “suspended” for forwarding the Obama MugShots T-Shirt story. Only he didn’t actually serve that 30-day suspension because he would have lost his salary if they’d actually followed through and made him miss work for a month!
Is this a great country or what? WHAT??????
