Conservative Blog Creatures Accuse Obama of Destroying Ground Zero Flag

by Jack Stuef  

WAIT, why is he not burning that flag back there and melting down his flag pin? What's his angle?On Sunday, President Obama oversaw the only thing conservatives ever wanted to happen in the world: the death of Osama bin Laden. But accepting that the commander in chief of our nation’s military could have a hand in this has threatened some major cognitive dissonance on the right, because doesn’t that guy seem a little foreign and a lot liberal, thus unable to like the United States of America? Thankfully, ABC News’ Jake Tapper mentioned something on Twitter about a flag being lowered yesterday evening at the World Trade Center site, which could only mean OBAMA WENT TO GROUND ZERO SO HE COULD BURN AMERICAN FLAGS, according to certain conservative bloggers who have a professional duty to misinterpret things.

Blogger Doug Ross, for one, wrote,”This administration and, by extension, the Democrat Party are now so thoroughly divorced from the history, traditions and morals of America that we might as well admit the Marxist left has executed a successful coup d’état on this Republic.” His friend Michelle Malkin asked, “Does flying the American flag at Ground Zero now constitute ‘spiking the football???’” This meme made it all the way to Matt Drudge, who ran the headline, “REPORT: Team Obama takes down US flag before Ground Zero event…”

As we all know, Obama was not allowed to go to the part of New York where Ground Zero is until this week because he was “controversial.” But Obama was legally able to look at photos of Ground Zero, and once he saw there was a giant American flag there, he got angry and decided it had to come down. So Obama dug out bin Laden from where George W. Bush carefully packed him in a pile of Flintstones Push-Up Pops at the back of the White House freezer a decade ago, presented the corpse as new, and was given an all-access pass to Ground Zero. Once the magical gates opened to the terrorist attack wonderland, Obama made a beeline to the flag, ripped it down, and left, pushing crying 9/11 victim families out of the way, his objective finally accomplished.

And that’s our week in review of how conservatives managed to avoid their emotions for the man who is now empirically their greatest hero, President Barack HUSSEIN Obama. [Gawker]

Sometimes, I wish Al Gore hadn’t invented the internet.

But where would we get our porn?

nounverb911 May 6, 2011 at 4:22 pm

In the back of the corner candy store, just like in the olden days.

Lionel[redacted]Esq May 6, 2011 at 4:26 pm

I grew up in the suburbs, so you had to be lucky enough to know the kid that had a dad with a cool stash that he could sneak some out of.

The Internet is better, plus we get LOL CATZ. Try getting that at the corner candy store.

neiltheblaze May 6, 2011 at 4:48 pm

Try being gay. You had to break into the Rectory for that stuff.

Or made it a little harder to use. That would keep out the riff-raff.

Ducksworthy May 6, 2011 at 4:50 pm

Yeah. Back in the days of 2400 baud modems and BBS the online community was extremely dorky (except for yours truly, of course) but mostly civil and way smarter than the swarms of troglodytes at Red State etc.

As soon as I hear one of these "Republic Party" hacks say "the Democrat Party" I immediately know them to be Foxtarded.

Naked_Bunny May 6, 2011 at 6:04 pm

Yes, it's a useful metric for evaluating the opinions of people I'm unfamiliar with.

The really funny thing is, I doubt most right-wingers even remember the origin of their own meme. I hardly ever see "DemocRAT Party" capitalized properly anymore. They've simply internalized it as though it were the actual name of the party.

I suppose it's easy once you've dedicated yourself to ignoring reality.

tessiee May 7, 2011 at 12:32 pm

These things are useful signals, however.
This.
it's a useful metric for evaluating the opinions of people I'm unfamiliar with.
And this, also too.

Fox n Fiends May 6, 2011 at 6:11 pm

We need to start calling them the Republican't Party because they can't do one single fucking thing right.

RavenRant May 6, 2011 at 9:09 pm

Perfect.

RavenRant May 6, 2011 at 9:19 pm

My seriously stupid brother claims not to listen to Fox or Limbaugh, but always gives himself away by using "WingnutSpeak," like 'Democrat Party', 'ramming it down our throats', 'teleprompterz', and the always terrifying CZARS!?!!!

BTW, he's a lifelong government employee, (worse, he's a REGULATOR), always crying about the need for smaller government. He thinks when they kill all the gov't jerbs they're gonna pull him aside and say, "Oh, not you! You're different, you're special, you're not like all the others!" Moron.

My seriously bright (although conservative) brother used 'Democrat Party' on me once. I asked him what the purpose of using that term was, other than making himself sound ignorant. No answer. Literally speechless. Followed by a quick change of subject.

trampndirtdown May 6, 2011 at 9:43 pm

I had a not so pleasant conversation outside the county hospital the other day with an elderly gent sitting in his running car. The back of the car covered with Nobama and keep the government out of healthcare stickers. i pointed out that he was at the County Fucking Hospital, got a dull stare and a response of oh well local gubmint don't count. I then pointed out that he was sporting a handicapped placard and parked in a handicapped space….crickets. Hopefully it made him think, but more likely he just decided that I'm a prick.

RavenRant May 6, 2011 at 10:19 pm

I think the key is that it's not really about government spending. It's about government spending on brown people. That's the bad spending. Old white folk spending? A-Okay!

jodyleek May 7, 2011 at 8:55 am

Except, of course, if it's government money spent on blowing up brown people. Then it's a-okay, according to old white folks.

102415 May 7, 2011 at 5:22 pm

Absolutely, the next thing out of their mouth is usually all about welfare queens and someone taking their benefits that they earned. and always at taxpayers expense.

tessiee May 7, 2011 at 12:38 pm

"My seriously bright (although conservative) brother used 'Democrat Party' on me once. I asked him what the purpose of using that term was, other than making himself sound ignorant."

The thing is, though, sometimes even intelligent people ARE ignorant, in the sense of being uninformed.

About ten years ago, I asked somebody, "How come you don't like Wal-Mart?", and they phrased their answer in a way that didn't make me feel like a dumb-ass for not knowing.

I was able to return the favor about five years ago, when a bunch of us were talking at lunch, and I said that Wal-Mart didn't give their employees health care, which meant they went to the local emergency room, which our taxes pay for. One of my co-workers said, "But that's TERRIBLE! Why do people stand for it?". I said, "Because a lot of people don't know — even intelligent people like you".

Not everybody follows politics, and there's so much information out there that even intelligent people aren't always able to keep up with everything. The 20% are probably a lost cause, the other 80% aren't.

RavenRant May 7, 2011 at 3:28 pm

Point taken. Between career, family, hobbies, people don't have time to follow news. And corporate media, whether print, local tv, or cable, does everything to obfuscate/distract.

RavenRant May 6, 2011 at 9:34 pm

Since it's apparently okay to rename other peoples' political parties, my choices for Republicans are 'The New Confederacy', the GOPP – Goofy Old Peoples' Party, or Banana Republicans.

Other possibilities: Feudalists, 3rd Worlders.

BTW, my new slogan for the Democrats:

"Sure we're corporate whores, but at least we're not batshit crazy corporate whores!"

Fired up?

trampndirtdown May 6, 2011 at 9:43 pm

ready to go.

RavenRant May 6, 2011 at 10:20 pm

Ready to go drink myself into merciful oblivion.

"Banana Republicans"

I like it. I like it a lot.

zhubajie May 9, 2011 at 8:15 am

GOP = Giant Octopus Party, the Party of Cthulhu.

RavenRant May 11, 2011 at 4:39 pm

Sorry. Cthulhu has too much pride to associate himself with these sleazeballs. Giant Octopus Party has promise, though. Have to scan dictionary for negative O-words.

zhubajie May 13, 2011 at 4:12 am

It's true that C. regrets following Azathoth's advice and making Bushthe Younger pres.

grigoritheocto May 7, 2011 at 2:49 pm

This is all Rush's doing. He's been calling them the Democrat party forever. This results from a desire to distance Democrats from a system that is "Democratic." It's a sign that whoever says it is "in the know" as far as Rush is concerned. This is good for those of us that despise that fucking windbag, because it's a sign that a person not only listens to Rush, but actually allows themselves to become a walking Limbaugh talking point.

RavenRant May 7, 2011 at 3:29 pm

Ditto! <sarcasm>

LetUsBray May 7, 2011 at 10:19 pm

Yeah, that was my thought, that if they're saying "Democrat Party", they're identifying themselves as Dildoheads (a good pet nickname for them).

LetUsBray May 7, 2011 at 10:23 pm

Aren't they complaining that the prez' refusal to wrap the ventilated corpse in pig fat is proof that he's a Mooslim-lover?

x111e7thst May 6, 2011 at 4:16 pm

Michelle Malkin should stick to posting clips of herself in a cheerleader outfit on YouTube.That is clearly her core competence.

John Milton's prose or verse demands far too much education and attention for most T-tards.

JustPixelz May 6, 2011 at 4:39 pm

That and complaining about things being "rammed down her throat" which is her way of describing "democratically enacted laws". At least that's what I think she means.

tessiee May 6, 2011 at 8:23 pm

Law that Republicans like = democracy in action, will of the people has spoken
Law that Republicans dislike = things being rammed down throats

Jukesgrrl May 6, 2011 at 5:42 pm

Ah, Michelle Malkin, Famously banned from Hardball because she claimed John Kerry shot himself in Vietnam because he knew that someday he would run for president and he needed that Purple Heart. And, thereby, setting the groundwork for the entire birther conspiracy. What a great American!!!!!

I will personally hand you $20 of genuine US America currency if you can succeed in getting that meme off the ground.

Boredw/Gravitas May 6, 2011 at 4:18 pm

Conservitards have their panties in the biggest bunch ever because a Democrat, and a black one at that, succeeded at the one thing that kept them up at night for 10 years. And they are trying harder than I've ever seen anyone try to color Osama's death as the worst possible thing to ever happen in the history of US America. All I can say is suck it, and suck it hard, conservi-types.

Pithaughn May 6, 2011 at 7:24 pm

You heard it first from old Santa, long before 11-4, most Republicans will have a pat answer drilled into their heads by Rush et al; that assassinating Bin Laden was the worst foreign policy / military / intelligence blunder since Judas gave up Jeezus. My mind does not twist so as to be able to tell you what that pat answer will be, but there will be at least one.

CessnaDriver May 8, 2011 at 2:18 pm

I laugh at the conservitards: They are on the side of Bin Laden and Q-daffy.

Lionel[redacted]Esq May 6, 2011 at 4:18 pm

Still, this is just another sign of Obama being a half-ass liberal. If he really was a good liberal, he wouldn't burn the flag, but take it down and shit upon it while masturbating and reading the Koran. Hell, that is my average weekend.

Dr_Zoidberg May 6, 2011 at 5:01 pm

You only limit that to the weekend? Amateur.

These neo-cons hate anything that any democrat does. Seriously if Obama did 1/4 the things Bush did he would have been inpeached.

GOPCrusher May 6, 2011 at 5:53 pm

That maybe the one thing that concerns the wingnuts the most, Now that Osama is dead, we pack up the troops and bring them home. And then no more random killing of brown Muslim people.

Pithaughn May 6, 2011 at 7:27 pm

Not likely, even if we defeat East Asia there is always another arch nemesis on the horizon. Within months of the next R victory there will suddenly be piles of evidence justifying the invasion of Iran.

SorosBot May 6, 2011 at 8:07 pm

It's why the worse thing to ever happen to the wingnuts was the Soviets giving up on the cold war, and 9/11 the best thing ever, we finally had a new archenemy. Now it might go back to China; remember how the Bushies were stoking tensions with them until 9/11 gave them the enemy.

tessiee May 7, 2011 at 12:43 pm

Somewhere in the Pentagon, there's a circular chart with the names of all countries with oil. They spin the little arrow dealie a la "Wheel of Fortune" and there you have it, the next threat to our precious, precious oil barons*cough*freedom.

Best seat. Outside Westboro Baptist should be entertaining when those pious bastards get disintegrated while a big booming voice says "God Hates Haters". Another possibility is Fux News; same reason.

We have several billboards up in our area. A guy I know is getting married that day and I have had more fun teasing him about it. He should really use the "It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine" song at his wedding.

"Rise up, O Men of God" was always the best wedding hymn, but in this case I'd suggest Tom Lehrer's "We'll All Go Together When We Go."

On Armed Forces Day no less. Why do neocon evangelical asshats hate the troops?

poncho_pilot May 6, 2011 at 5:08 pm

they are citizens of god's kingdom. which means we can lock them up in Gitmo if they get out of line. enemy combatants.

JustPixelz May 7, 2011 at 9:28 am

The people involved say the date is calculated from information in the Bible. If that's Armed Forces Day, so it is written.

Anyway, if this date — May 21st 2011 on the Gregorian calendar — has been in the Bible all along, ya gotta wonder about all these people through the millennia who didn't know. They coulda sinned like there is a tomorrow, thrown down a deathbed repentance and waited for the sweet eternal life on May 21. Suckers.

tessiee May 7, 2011 at 12:47 pm

Also, haven't we gone through several different calendars since the bible was written? Are we sure the end of the world wasn't last week or something, and we just weren't paying attention because of the whole Bin Laden thing?

zhubajie May 9, 2011 at 8:28 am

My favorite Prophet, Bro. Stair, says that these calculations are wrong exactly because Harold Camping is not a prophet!

Dr_pangloss May 7, 2011 at 10:51 am

See then it really wouldn't be over you'd be stuck forever in either Heaven or Hell with all those fuckwits. I don't think theists have really thought through the whole "eternity" thing very well.

Obama may have killed Osama, but lets face it – he did it all wrong. The SEALS followed the Demo-feminized – "just go in and shoot everyone plan" (no doubt right out of the Hillary Clinton Vincent Foster murder playbook) – even though their targets had barely even woken up from their sleep. I mean, is there anything more sissified than a STEALTH HELICOPTER?

They SHOULD have said – ok, guys take 5 – get your guns – and then we'll come in – like men – not like a bunch of girls – and take you down the hard way. I mean, we're the SEALS, not the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders!

For Osama himself, they should have clearly played a little "how many bullets do you think I have left" game – and videotaped it for our enjoyment.

That's the American way!

Pithaughn May 6, 2011 at 7:38 pm

Exactly, will they ever release the 911 call from the compound? We deserve a new catch phrase, let's rooooll is so 2001. Hopefully one of the tech guys will release some audio and or video files to wikileaks. Then all the r's can fap to "Well do you towel head, do you feel lucky tonight?

Unrelated to this topic:

Seriously does anyone on Wonkette go to the lame trolly sites and down fist them? If you do I'm sorry to say, you're pretty lame.

As much as I love Wonkette, even I don't want to spend the time on it that the troll spends.

I figure if I yell at him once in a while he'll feel like he's doing….Whatever he thinks he's doing correctly. It's a positive/negative reinforcement kinda deal. This way he thinks his life has meaning.

One_who_wanders May 6, 2011 at 5:06 pm

I occasionally do the same.

It's not as sad as Ross and Malkin, they are supposed to be professionals (for certain small values of professionalism). I guess once you sell your soul it really doesn't matter anymore.

MissTaken May 6, 2011 at 4:58 pm

No, we don't do that to their sites. First, icky. I really don't want to catch the wingnut disease. And second, we spend all our time on useful pursuits like performing oral sex on other people. No time for downfist trolling.

Well, at least no time for THAT kind of fisting.

metamarcisf May 6, 2011 at 5:14 pm

It's okay to downfist over there but kindly have the courage to post something inane and stupid while you're at it. Look what it did for me.

Goonemeritus May 6, 2011 at 6:01 pm

I have a hard time believing this is happening in any systematic way. This guy down fists what like 100 posters over here on every post, if we were retaliating as he says we are would he not start off with 100 negative fists on every post. I have visited his profile because I am new here and I got followed by him week one. Visiting was more to see what his point of view was, not to retaliate. Truth is after reading his posts it is clear no sensible debate would come out of posting there so I don’t. The real question is why do you, seems like pushing that fat kid in the pool to me.

SorosBot May 6, 2011 at 8:04 pm

He is reading what we say, however; earlier today some of us linked to some of his more inane or racist comments over on Breitbart, and now every single one of those linked comments has been deleted. Idiot must be scared we'll all go mock him or just downfist him some more.

Goonemeritus May 6, 2011 at 8:37 pm

I have always thought troll wars were a waste of time, fact is the troll and the troll dog pile is exactly what has kept me from being more than just a lurker till now. The shrill partisan screaming is not debate it is not the exchange of ideas it is warfare. What I like about this site is that there is debate but it is civil or at worst snarky. It seems to me this site is composed of people that value a posters wit as much as the point he makes. As for downfisty clearly he is having zero effect for every down fist he has given me some charitable soles have given 10 largely undeserved up fists. The end result is that my P-ness is better than I warrant, I say ignore him.

DonnyKerabotsos May 6, 2011 at 7:01 pm

I've stayed away from commenting about the downfister until now so as not to give the troll any satisfaction, but he brings to mind the kind of weakling who gets even with you for banging his girlfriend by letting the air out your tires.

Here at Wonkette, however, we just laugh, inflate the tires, ride over to his house and bang his sister.

Pithaughn May 6, 2011 at 7:32 pm

Calling them the "Republic Party" as a response to the whole "Democrat party" thing is kinda lame anyway, because "Republic" is kinda, I dunno, more solid and important sounding than "Republican."

Really, only two acceptable terms for them are "Rethuglican" or "Retardlican," each in their own context.

If any of these 'Proud Patriots' had half a clue about the proper care of the precious flag they, and they alone, lurve so much, they wouldn't have been taken in by this.

Also, Jake Tapper is consistently a know-nothing petty shit.

No military, or even scouting experience, apparently, amongst these all-Americans. Or perhaps the parasitic corn-syrup-sucking brain worms ate that part of their memory.

If anyone to the left of Bachman wrote on a flag, (Palin), or wrapped themselves in a flag, (Palin), or leaned on a flag thrown over a chair, (Palin), these same ignorant asshats would be indulging in their usual pants-shitting, foaming at the mouth hysteria.

Of course, someone would have to explain to them that all of those things violate the US Flag code, which they would then pretend to have known all along.
