Why Does Obama Hate America’s Most Patriotic Beverage?

by Benjamin Frisch  

  • America’s hipsters will soon have a new ironic, chemically aged piss-beer to drink, but only if the bravest beer baron in America successfully sues the federal government for his first amendment right to plaster the American flag all over his fermented garbage. [NewsOK]
  • Uh oh, some Jihadists issued a fatwa against McDonald’s. Where will K-Lo get her anal stuffing now? [IPT]
  • NBC has the audaciousness to award the Cordoba Victory Mosque prophet their coveted “Person Of The Year” award, on Twitter. [Atlas Shrugs]
  • The only reason a rich person would ever be a liberal is because they love to see the underclasses suffer, unlike rich conservatives, who only hate taxes because of their compassionate concern for the welfare of the poor. [The Hill]

  • Karl Marx’s personal field of study, sociology, is secretly teaching our impressionable undergraduate students to treat circus freaks like actual human beings. [Townhall]

Why does Sessions hate Real 'Mur'ca? Living in Los Angeles… Poseur.

SorosBot November 24, 2010 at 2:33 pm

The Oklahoma flag beer guy says he wants to "put god in every bar in this country". As a sometimes bar-goer, I say keep that creepy guy out; and anyway he should then not be selling beer, but red whine that some guy in a robe has said a few magic words over.

Native_of_SL_UT November 24, 2010 at 2:46 pm

Who would Jesus get fucked up with?

SexySmurf November 24, 2010 at 2:46 pm

12 dudes and a whore?

FNMA November 24, 2010 at 2:52 pm

I think I saw that on the Internets.

Lascauxcaveman November 24, 2010 at 3:00 pm

He's in the beer biz, but never bothered to check out regulations on labeling of alcoholic beverages? Or the fact that each label design has to be signed off and approved by the regulators?

As someone who used to be be in the beer biz, I can only surmise that this guy is a fucking idiot who assumes the rules apply to everyone but him. .

“I’m losing money, that’s why I’m suing,” he said. “I’m going to spend every nickel I got on this deal.”

Oh good. I hope you do, asshole.

weejee November 24, 2010 at 3:08 pm

Lake Crescent is really, really deep. Maybe you could invite him out for a canoe ride?

Lascauxcaveman November 24, 2010 at 3:36 pm

The water is also extremely pure. I'd rather deep-six him somewhere they won't notice the oil slick so much.

Tundra Grifter November 24, 2010 at 6:55 pm

"Every" nickel is probably both of them – that's why he needs all this free PR.

HistoriCat November 25, 2010 at 11:52 am

"who assumes the rules apply to everyone but him."
-that's how you know he's a Republican.

chickensmack November 24, 2010 at 2:33 pm

From the beer article: “The Supreme Court wrote clearly on these things,” [attorney for the beer company Robert] Lehrman said. “It’s not OK to suppress speech. Don should have a chance to go out there and make a fool of himself in the marketplace.”

Emphasis is mine. See, this is why lawyers are so expensive. They can find the best ways to exploit our money, our interests, and — most importantly — our dignity and integrity.

Mindblank November 24, 2010 at 2:35 pm

:“I want to put God in every bar in the country. God is already in the churches. Why not the bars?”

What Would Jesus Drink?

DashboardBuddha November 24, 2010 at 2:37 pm

Jesus would drink HemoLager – the beer made with real human blood!

FNMA November 24, 2010 at 2:37 pm

Four Loko.

natoslug November 24, 2010 at 2:38 pm

This makes perfect sense to me. Then again, I only partake of hookers with Pledge of Allegiance tramp-stamps and Ol' Gloryhole tattoos. God is Great.

If this has the effect of introducing at least a tinge of self-consciousness into our proud nation's karaoke bars, then I'm all for it.

Red wine.

BarackMyWorld November 24, 2010 at 2:37 pm

The only reason a rich person would ever be a liberal is because they love to see the underclasses suffer, unlike rich conservatives who only hate taxes because of their compassionate concern for the welfare of the poor.

My head just exploded. Thanks, dicks.

zhubajie November 25, 2010 at 8:05 pm

Conservacrooks mostly want the underclass to suffer, to fight for their garbage. Look at how things go in any 3rd world country.

DashboardBuddha November 24, 2010 at 2:37 pm

“I’m losing money, that’s why I’m suing,” he said. “I’m going to spend every nickel I got on this deal.”

Yeah…I know that when I'm hemorrhaging money, I plan to hemorrhage more…for FREEDOM!

Bluestatelibel November 24, 2010 at 2:59 pm

I thought the same thing: he's broke, but damned if he isn't going to spend every last penny on a ridiculous lawsuit for his crappy beer.

tiger_tree November 24, 2010 at 3:01 pm

Small business is obviously the backbone of our fucking economy.

GOPCrusher November 24, 2010 at 3:43 pm

Obviously, this man needs more tax cuts!

Clancy_Pants November 24, 2010 at 2:39 pm

I support the fatwa. Them fuckers left the french fries out of my drive-through order again.

EdFlintstone November 24, 2010 at 2:40 pm

It's nice the see The Hill has such high journalistic standards to employ propagandist Armstrong Williams.

DashboardBuddha November 24, 2010 at 2:40 pm

Dear me…Geller is quite the shrill cunt isn't she?

V572625694 November 24, 2010 at 2:42 pm

Shouldn't noted hack and Token Negro™ Armstrong Williams be asking himself why an African-American would be a Republican?

Tundra Grifter November 24, 2010 at 6:57 pm

For the same reasons a chicken would vote for Col. Sanders.

LionelHutzEsq November 24, 2010 at 2:42 pm

If only my dealer would place my weed in an American Flag baggie, no one would ever question it.

BeWoot November 24, 2010 at 9:16 pm

I had two hits of the American flag acid once. Stuff wasn't that good; took both of them to get off.

Mort_Sinclair November 24, 2010 at 2:43 pm

From the "freakish" Town Hall article:

She justifies the course by saying that “American popular culture began with the freak show” and that “P.T. Barnum taught us that freaks are always made- not born.” Better not tell that to GLEAM (Gay & Lesbian Employees at Middlebury). They might argue that there’s such a thing as a “freak gene.” Next thing you know, the freaks will be entitled to their own “Freak Resource Center.”

and this:

I don’t know about “pop culture” but academia doesn’t need any more freaks. We just need to put bars on the professors’ windows and charge the public to peer inside their offices. Spectators should be allowed to toss them an occasional peanut or banana.

Eventually, we’ll need to pay someone to clean up the stuff that gathers in their cages. The freaks may call it scholarship. But it smells like crap to me.

Fuck you, you fucking fuck. There's nothing worse than an anti-intellectual, self-loathing closeted gay man pontificating about the intellectual merits of college and university courses. I suspect Mr. Adams graduated from American Jesus F150 Kick-Ass USA Crying Eagle 9/11 University where they don't teach nuthin' but Jeebus, Gawd, and the Murkin Flag.

BornInATrailer November 24, 2010 at 3:06 pm

Not only did you sum up my feelings nicely, "American Jesus F150 Kick-Ass USA Crying Eagle 9/11 University" deserves a point all on its own.

Rotundo_ November 24, 2010 at 5:55 pm

Ford just *HAS* to sell some of those: Imagine the lines at the dealerships in Georgia and the Carolinas. "Come on down to BillyBob McGraws' for your very own American Jesus F150 Kick Ass USA Crying Eagle 9/11 edition and I'll throw in an autographed portrait of Jesus riding a dinosaur with his AK-47!"

tiger_tree November 24, 2010 at 3:12 pm

Oh yeah, Mike S. Adams. That guy pretty much writes the same article every day. Well, there's that article and the one in which he deals with his unresolved issues with women by saying America's Campuses are infested with Feminazis. He comes from the David Horowitz school of Conservative moles in Academia. I.e. a fraud.

Not that academia isn't rife with people who get ahead by just "playing the game", but somehow these clowns' shtick is a bit more offensive.

mrblifil November 24, 2010 at 3:22 pm

Given how they are in league with the Communist Chinese who went around encouraging students to murder their teachers, yeah, I'd say they're a "bit more offensive."

4TheTurnstiles November 24, 2010 at 5:39 pm

Self-loathing gay conservative & pontificating on "culture" and "learning"…

You mean like Allen Bloom? the only queer the right wing publicly draws to its heaving, hairy bosom?

zhubajie November 25, 2010 at 8:06 pm

Most academics are boringly conventional. Conservative personalities, no matter how they vote.

JadedDissonance November 24, 2010 at 2:43 pm

The urge to troll is strong today. Must. Resist.

But Benjamin is doing such a bang-up job with these rumor mills!

EdFlintstone November 24, 2010 at 2:44 pm

What better way to honor the Lord and country than to put them on a can that will be thrown on the side of the road or used as an ashtray.

FREEDOM BEER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Coming soon Jesus-Freedom TP, with inspirational daily messages on each sheet!!

HistoriCat November 25, 2010 at 11:59 am

You should save your special cans for that special sauce you generate while chewing tobacco …

zhubajie November 25, 2010 at 8:07 pm

Surely this violates the flag desecration laws? Speaking of which, the first package of condoms I bought in China were the Sino-US Friendship brand, "your best love friend,"with the Stars and Stripes prominently displayed.

V572625694 November 24, 2010 at 2:49 pm

It's kinda neat that NEWSOK, the source for the Pledge on the beer cans story, calls itself "The State's Most Trusted News." Not "news source," or "news outlet," just NEWS. All the others are lying, and can't be trusted to report facts accurately. Which may explain a lot about the people Oklahoma sends to the Senate.

GOPCrusher November 24, 2010 at 2:52 pm

First thing I thought of when I heard about this, was all the outrage over people putting the American Flag on their clothing and pressing for a Constitutional Amendment banning the burning of the flag. I guess only certain people can express their First Amendment Rights.

metamarcisf November 24, 2010 at 3:02 pm

What this will mean for me is no more tossing them out the window of the car or slipping into a neighbor's garbage can. No sir, to get rid of these future patriotic beer cans is to dispose of them in a dignified way, preferably by burning. Failing that, they should be turned over to your local American Legion Post for disposal.

x111e7thst November 24, 2010 at 3:00 pm

Fuck Don Sessions and the energy drink he rode in on. Asswipe.

amyamnesia November 24, 2010 at 3:01 pm

as someone who makes my living as an actual freak in an actual freakshow, I can tell you with authority that there is no one freakier than a right-wing pundit.

zhubajie November 25, 2010 at 8:08 pm

True, but religious TV and US Short-wave broadcasters give them a lot of competition!

MsQuasimodo November 25, 2010 at 8:10 pm

I concur. We just have twisted bodies. Right wing pundits have twisted souls.

freakishlywrong November 24, 2010 at 3:04 pm

That Hill article makes me want to punch Armstrong Willimas in the dick.

Urban_Achiever November 24, 2010 at 3:06 pm

Yay! I'm flying to Oklahoma tomorrow! Between drinking un-regulated Christian Patriotic Freedom Beer, and Sarah Palin holding a book-signing at a Christian bookstore about 1 mile away from my parents' home on Friday, my holiday weekend is finally looking UP!!!

tiger_tree November 24, 2010 at 3:37 pm

Sarah was in Dublin, OH a while ago. Seemed like an odd place for her to go, but that was back when the country was seemed like it might be reconsidering its choice to repeatedly vote for its own destruction.

zhubajie November 25, 2010 at 8:10 pm

It's on the interstate, outside of Columbus, O. Probably a convenient place to stop, bloviate, take a leak, eat a burger. Easier than driving into downtown Columbus.

tiger_tree November 26, 2010 at 12:12 pm

Oh yeah. Dublin cops are notorious for sitting their fat asses on I-270 and nailing anyone who goes even 66 mph. Never mind that Dublin as a physical city isn't really on the freeway itself, but rather a quirk of Ohio incorporation law allows these podunk cops to troll for speeders to fatten the village coffers.

gurukalehuru November 24, 2010 at 3:11 pm

You don't need God on the can. God is in the can.

mavenmaven November 24, 2010 at 3:12 pm

“I’m a Christian,” Sessions said. “I want to put God in every bar in the country. God is already in the churches. Why not the bars?”

God has been in the bars from the beginning, just go to any bar on an average night and you'll hear: "Jesus Christ, leave me alone!" "God Almighty, did you just puke on me?" "Lord , what the @#$% did you put in this drink"?

jim89048 November 24, 2010 at 3:14 pm

And take off your nascar cap and salute, ya commie!

This is an attempt to make the annoying things we're going to hear tomorrow seem reasonable by comparison, isn't it?

GOPCrusher November 24, 2010 at 3:53 pm

Don't forget to stand and put your hand over your heart while you drink it, either.

SwanSwanH November 24, 2010 at 4:02 pm

I assume K-Lo will go back to getting her anal stuffing from Jonah Goldberg.

zhubajie November 25, 2010 at 8:11 pm

Don't you suppose it would be a *small* stuffing?

Lazy Media November 24, 2010 at 4:17 pm

Doesn't Budweiser already do this?

This is the famous Budweiser beer. We know of no other brand produced by any other brewer which costs so much to brew and age. Our exclusive Beechwood Aging produces a taste, a smoothness, and a drinkability you find in no other beer at any price.

That's the Pledge of Allegiance, right? That's what I've been reciting.

gurukalehuru November 24, 2010 at 4:49 pm

Fuck all of you all. I support Don Sessions at http://www.gurukalehuru.com

Tundra Grifter November 24, 2010 at 7:11 pm

So this huckster wants to put God in every bar in America? I'll be the first one to say his crappy beer isn't going to do the trick.

First of all, Mr. Sessions should be worried about making sure God is in every church where He belongs. It is my strongly held personal opinion there are far too many religious establishments that have forgotten that part (Westboro Baptist,you can start!) – the whole thing about don't judge Jesus by "Christians." Particularly those who perceive a ready buck in yelling to the world they are true Christians. We have enough of those frauds in politics to last a lifetime.

Then it would be a whole lot quicker to accomplish his goal by putting a bar in every church.

zhubajie November 24, 2010 at 7:50 pm

"a fucking idiot who assumes the rules apply to everyone but him."

A typical libertarian, in other words!

zhubajie November 24, 2010 at 7:56 pm

So, is the beer any good?

HistoriCat November 25, 2010 at 12:04 pm

Greer does book reviews for Wonkette; someone needs to do drink reviews.
Ken – let's work something out here.

Do you get Beer Lao in DC? Best beer in Asia!

transfatz November 25, 2010 at 3:34 am

Too late. God is already in the bar and he is very, very drunk.

zhubajie November 25, 2010 at 8:13 pm
