OH MA GOD LOOK WHUT THEY DONE!!!! Vandals/ political cartoonists spray-painted a Hitler mustache on a giant mural in Tennessee celebrating Ronald Reagan’s withered, senile rat mug, marking the first “Obama is Hitler because he is Reagan” joke we have seen to date. That’s what this is, isn’t it? We cannot figure out what else this must mean, since Hitler was a liberal gay feminist union Democrat according to everyone who knows about Hitler these days. It must mean at the very least that Ronald Reagan’s corpse is gay. Are there any more clues???
Haha, that was a joke, there are no clues. The Republicans are very upset, ordinary people are amused, and the only thing the crack investigative local news team can figure out is that the vandals are very tall, since Ronny’s noggin is a full twelve feet off the ground.
From WFTV Nashville:
Overnight Sunday someone spray painted Hitler’s infamous mustache onto the face of Ronald Reagan. The damaged mural covers a wall at the Putnam County Republican Party headquarters in downtown Cookeville.
“Ronald Reagan is really beloved by the Republican party, he’s our guy,” said county chairman Curtis Shinsky.
The damage was first noticed Monday morning when people started showing up for work in the downtown area.
The vandals left little evidence behind as to who might be responsible for modifying the mural.
“I just think this is people who have it in for us. There’s a lot of folks who don’t like us being up here on the square because we really have a lot of visibility,” Shinsky explained.
The graffiti did garner all of attention on the corner of East Broad and Washington. People could be seen laughing in their cars, others stopped to take photos of the damage.
And one more view of the mural, for fun:
Oh well, we would still call this “the most coherent political commentary” we have read in what, like, a month? [WTFV Nashville]

That's not Hitler's `stache, it's Charlie Chaplin. Probably in honor of Reagan destroying Chaplin's career by accusing him of communism during the Glorious Revolution (McCarthy).
Here I thought some Sparks fan was turning Ron Reagan into Ron Mael…
I just think this is people who have it in for us.
It must be really tough being a white male Republican in Putnam County, Tennessee
No kidding. That's the Republican way–they're ALL victims!
That was actually a quote from the office manager of the Aryan Nation Reading Room right next door. They don't want their movement associated with that nut, Reagan!
As we used to say, when I lived in teh souf, "I'm free, white, and 21," implying our entitlement to all the rights, privileges, and immunities thereunto appertaining.
Mighty white of you to remind us, prommie.
I love that phrase: mighty white of you.
You ever get the suspicion there might be a nigger in the woodpile?
Why? Is Cousin Cletus fuckin' around with your firewood again? Dang, if I don't keep an eye on that boy ever' minnit, he's all hangin' around firewood stacks askin' "Where's de white wimmin at?"
What a smile! Looks like Ronnie enjoyed that Dirty Sanchez.
Got fascism?
Gott Fascism?
Or as Romney would say, Gott Mittens.
Gott in Himmel!
Even if you don't respect Ronald Reagan, you should respect the office and a Hitler moustache would be highly disrespectful.
Good thing that's just a bog-standard Dirty Sanchez.
Wait until they discover Marcus Bachmann's beard.
I thought she was running for Prez?
yes, the flavor-saver
Is it balls?
Yes, if you are a gay robot.
Ding Ding Ding. We have a "Comment of the Day" winner!
Nothing like a clean shaven man with a Republican beard!
If only they had put a bone through his nose, it would have been a legitimate political expression.
So, Sarah Palin is the real victim here, right?
She is the most Reagan of them all.
At least the most zombie.
Well, of course! How does this affect her?
I approve of this use of the NEA grant.
Needs more dancing Storm Troopers.
And a urine soaked cross.
And ants. Lots and lots of ants. Also.

I can't decide which of the two I despise more.
Are you sure they're not the same person?
Somewhere, always Peggy Noonnan weeps.
Fixed. Also.
Somewhere John Boehner weeps. But nothing to do with this story. Sorry for the dog-bites-man journalism.
"Somewhere Grover Norquist weeps."
Exxx-cellent.
It's Morning in the Fatherland!!! Arbeit macht Chesterfields!!!

Finally, Tennessee famous for something besides Deliverance and Walking Horses. All hail, shining ray of light from Red State of Darkness!
But I don't see Michelle Obama as Eva Braun. Laura Bush, maybe, but not our beloved FLOTUS.
*ahem* Begging your pardon: Deliverance the novel was set in Georgia and the movie adaptation was filmed along the Chattooga river as well as parts of SC and NC but not in Tennessee proper.
For uniquely Tennesseean high-fallutin' though, you can't do much better than the RC Cola/ Moonpie festival each June. They even have the Tennessee walkers on hand, and cloggers, and no doubt moonpie-eating contests.
I stand corrected.
And speaking of Tennessee Walking Horses, the 'training' they employ to make them do their distinctive crab walk can only be described as the equine equivalent of shooting at someone's feet to make them dance. Gotta love redneck technology…
Jezus. They fucking torture those poor animals.
Can we just set all the red states on fire? After evacuating every animal there, of course.
"Can we just set all the red states on fire?"
Didn't General Sherman already do that once?
"moonpie-eating contests"
Well, MY plans for this weekend are set.
Reagan? What ever happened to him?
Didn't he die of AIDS at about the same time Easy-E did?
I think you are confusing him with another beloved Republican, Roy Cohn.
Wasn't that the gay dead aids artist that depicted everyone on all fours?
Like most of the conservatives of his generation, he's burning in hell for all eternity.
I forget.
I do not recall.
(Repeat 87 times under oath…)
Right there, the biggest fucking red flag/sign that the old fool was already mushbrained with Alzheimer's.
But it was honest dementia, honest American dementia in a sitting President of the United States of America. All of that plaque and mush swooshing around in his patriotic cranium honestly could not recall being told by Bush Sr. and Olly to authorize the sale of spare parts to Iran. I'll bet they gave him a double helping of tapioca that day. But he probably didn't remember that ten minutes after it went down the hatch.
"Right there, the biggest fucking red flag/sign that the old fool was already mushbrained with Alzheimer's."
I thought it was a perfect example of karmic justice that the miserable old shit who evaded the consequences of his disgusting actions by *pretending* not to remember what he did ended up *actually* not remembering what he did, or what he had for breakfast that morning, or his own name…
"Reagan? What ever happened to him?"
Didn't he get shot in a card fight with John Lennon?
"Didn't he get shot in a card fight with John Lennon?"
That was Buddy Holly.
He sure as hell ain't hanging with this guy anymore.
This is uncalled for, as Reagan only wore the Hitler 'stache when he visited gay bars.
you know who's from Tennessee?
Al Gore ! So this was his fault. Either him or the Red States Report guys.
They have no idea who painted the mustache? But most graffiti vandals sign their name to their works.
Today we are all defaced mustachioed senile has-beens.
That explains my morning, thanks!
Cue ALL Faux-Noose talking heads having a conniption fit in 5…4…3…
This is another example of that Left Wing Hate Rhetoric.
I the only thing the crack investigative local news team can figure out is that the vandals are very tall
Any Memphis Grizzlies observed loitering near the scene of the crime?
HAHAHAHA, right. Like they'd allow black people to cross the Tennessee River.
Marc Gasol is Spanish, & more importantly, from Catalonia, which is an hotbed of anti-fascist action movement. Might have been him.
Mebbe it was his old Hollywood nemesis, Allison Hayes.
Maybe someone was celebrating Charlie Chaplin's birthday?
Michele Bachmann. And, actually, yesterday was the anniversary of his DEFF.

Well, it wasn't, really, but if it was, you bet she would have asked us to sing him Hapi Birfdai.

I thought that the station name was WTFV, and I figured that that might sum up everything, right there.
WFTV:
"We're f**king the Vietnamese."
"When friends trade viruses."
"Who fills the vomitorium?"
I dunno. I like your version better – it would be a great typo.
I feel that way when AMC rolls out "Bedtime for Bonzo." Have we no decency in properly honoring this magnificent man who co-starred with a monkey?
monkey? is that really any way to talk about George Bush?
ooooh…Bonzo.
never mind.
Leave Nancy Reagan out of this!
Paleeze, Bonzo was a Chimpanzee.
Unfortunately, not a face-ripping chimpanzee .
Magnificent!
I would think most male Republicans would be happy with this, as it will allow them to change up their masturbation fantasies.
And it makes Ronnie a real bad boy.
That was just that sad episode where Nancy was "falling apart". Just say no to rugs.
You know who else put Hitler 'staches on national leaders?
Hormones?
Every kid in the Third Grade?
Hitler? Wait, that doesn't really work…
GodDAMN it. I've gotta start waking up before lunch.
Michael Jordan's barber?
I love these quizzes.
Hitler. Charlie Chaplin.Eva Braun?
Carla Bruni?
Carli Bruni's bikini wax technician?
Republicans?
Banksy?
You lay one wreath on the grave of a Nazi war criminal and all of a sudden you're Hitler.
Seems to me a Handlebar would go better with his skin beard.
Only if you hammer it into his head.
That would not be easy. Remember the hair helmet?
Hey, you're the one who suggested a Handlebar, you figure out how to fix it to the zombie's head!
Do all Republicans have hair helments? Reagan, Mitt, Santorum, anyone else?
Do rugs count?
Mustache? That looks more like a growth…as if Saint Ronnie had skin cancer or something…
It's a bad case of supply-side melanoma.
This is worse than piss christ, or burning the flag, or, I shudder to even think, chopping off the head of the statue of Jebediah Springfield. They're going to have to undo this sacrilege before we as a nation suffer the wrath of Zombie Reagan-God; someone resurrect that project to have him replace FDR on the dime, we'll be needing more dimes, for the rich people to shower upon us, Rockefeller-like, as they pass overhead in their atomic zeppelins, while we flee from the cannibal bands and fight over cans of hobo beans.
I am selling, for a fair price, synthetic hollow "rocks" with a hole at the bottom edge so that one can stick out an arm and rake in those dimes as we go unnoticed by the cannibal bands.
The elite model has a feedbag for the hobo beans.
Entrepreneurism! It's the American Way!
Too bad the French don't have a word for "entrepreneur".
Ah, the wit and wisdumb of G.W. Bush. How I miss those days, NOT.
It's a Michael Jordan mustache.

Sure, he's black, but at least he's a capitalist. ("Republicans buy sneakers, too".)
Dirty Sanchez RayGun Uber Alles!!
"Hitler was a liberal gay feminist union Democrat according to everyone who knows about Hitler these days." Well, Ronnie was a New Deal Democrat until his conversion in the 1950s, so it's all good.
He was even a union president. Twice. That was before the whole air-traffic controller shenanigans, o' course.
The fact that some people were seen laughing at this gives me a tiny sliver of hope for Tennessee.
Don't worry. Tennessee will do something to take back that tiny sliver very quickly.
They were probably just passin' through…
Some of us are sensible. We just practice a little thing called "manners" and don't make a big fuss about it. It's the shitkickers ya gotta watch out for.
Joe Biden is clearly responsible. I hear he said that TeaTards are Terrorizmz.
Holy hell my teatard sister is going to poop her pampers. The last time someone so besmirched the reputation of the great ReaganGod she was forced to drop out of college (again) and alert the media (Rush Limbaugh).
lol. is she single?
Surprisingly, no. She is growing into one of those Phyllis Schlafly types so we will see how long that lasts.
Screams at other women to stay in the kitchen but still insists on having a career of her own?
LMFAO. Hardly. She exudes the wisdom that comes from being the only mother in the world and then uses that as a justification for her know-nothingism.
Ask her about Reagan's heroism in WW2.
Those syphilis films he made SAVED LIVES.
Dort gehen Sie wieder!
"People could be seen laughing in their cars, others stopped to take photos of the damage."
People laughing at the mustache must have been worse than the actual mustache on the mural. Poor Republicans must have been having flashbacks to when they were humiliated in elementary school for wetting themselves during fire drills.
B-E-S-T.
"The Republicans are very upset, ordinary people are amused…"
I see what you did there… and I LIKE IT!
Banksy's most signficant work to date.
Seems more likely a Mr. Brainwash.
In other news, Rick Perry was last seen dispatching a staffer into an Iowa Wal-Mart for a disposable razor. Sources quote Perry as telling the staffer: "See! I told you Reagan didn't have no mouse-stache!"
"And while you're there pick me up a young hottie."
This is as close to Hitler as Reagan ever got, considering that Mr. Republican Hero spent WW2 making movies in NYC.
See also Marion Mitchell Morrison (do the Google).
And they both have airports named after them.
Of course. He was Repugnant… they send the poors to die for freedoms.
It did not stop him from later telling lies about his imaginary service and the "liberal media" not stating the obvious in fear of upsetting his cult of personality.
How do they know it's not a miraculous stigma?
i did find a potato chip that looked like Reagan getting blown by Oliver North. should i not have eaten it?
No, you did the right thing. To refrain from eating the holy relic chip would have been what my CCD teacher called "false piety".
You know who else put Hitler mustaches on pictures of Great Americanz? HITLER!
“Ronald Reagan is really beloved by the Republican party, he’s our guy,” said county chairman Curtis Shinsky.
Hey… um… Curtis Shinsky… you know he is dead, right? You should maybe have a "guy" that can actually do something for you… you know, like MicheLe…
also, it's a pretty safe bet that 'our guy' ronald reagan is far far to the left of these tools.
And even if he's your guy, Curtis – you and your teatard friends aren't his peeps.
Anyone care to drive over there and paint over the whole thing?
Perhaps add a thought bubble that says "… I crave me some black cock…"
That would get 'em buzzin' down there…
Wow! Ronald Reagan is dead?
Still.
Since approximately 1983.
For now. But according to wingnut legend, he will return in the Free Market's darkest hour and rescue it from the forces of communist-fascism-bad-thing-ism.
"Ronald Reagan is dead?"
Nah, couldn't be!
I saw him just the other day, riding around in a brand new pink Caddy, with a pregnant 17 year old welfare queen.
I think they were going to the corner liquor store to cash their welfare check to buy some more crack…
I'll support putting Reagan on the $10 bill if they use this image.
You mean this bastion of American-ness isn't on Rushmore yet or on a coin or his birthday isn't a national holiday. Tea Tards aren't trying hard enough.
This is a state that had a public statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest. Come on vandals, first things first.
That's covered with a sheet at night, so no one can do damage to it.
What, this old thing?
“Ronald Reagan is really beloved by the Republican party, he’s our guy,” said county chairman Curtis Shinsky while fapping furiously.
There, fixed.
The Tennessee GOP is so distraught that they just want to be taken to another place, taken to another time…
They can try clicking their heels three times while singing Dixie. That might work.
I don't think it was during the Administration of Adolf Hitler that the largest increase in the Federal personal income tax was passed by Congress.
“I just think this is people who have it in for us…."
Nah, this is just a minor little prank. You'll know we have it in for you when we drag you out of your McMansions and hang you.
And me, without a pitchfork. Oh well, headed to Home Depot… Just in case, you know?
Amazing how quick they play the victim card, isn't it? Maybe if you all weren't evil cocksuckers declaring war on the poor, children, women, minorities, etc., you might not feel like everyone is out to get you.
Shit; that was harsh. Me likes.
I thought the vandalism was the "5" earring in the first photo.
Ronnie's only role where he didn't need to act.
Maybe it was an Iranian terrorist that was upset that no Republicans in the White House means no sweet arms for hostages deals?
Also, say what you will, Hitler had the right idea.
About mustaches.
Strange it has never come back into style. Bell bottoms, spandex, polyester track suits have all made their comeback. Not sure why the Hitler stache failed to catch on again.
Then again I don't think anyone in bell bottoms ever murdered millions upon millions.
Well Michael Jordan is trying his best to bring it back.
"Look Who We've Got Our Hitler-stache On Now"
"Herr Jordans".
i wish i had thought of that.
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!!
I cannot believe a community would allow a picture of such a dark time in American history to grace it's public walls.
Especially the picture of a known Union activist and leader.
This is just gonna kill Lee Atwater.
Again.
Damn. Eight hours too late. lol
I'm gonna enjoy this, since it's the first time I EVAH beat you to anything, ha!
It'll never happen again, of course.
Es ist Morgen in Amerika!
Doesn't America know of the famous meeting between Charlie Chaplin and Ronnie, who were introduced to each other by Nancy, when Ronnie's career was on the skids, post-Bonzo?
'Here, kid,' said the Little Tramp, handing the onetime-Gipper a postage-stamp mustache from his plentiful supply. 'Try it on. It made my career – it could make yours!'
I mean, EVERYBODY remembers this, don't they?? An anonymous fan was just reminding us.
Just the latest insult from the same communists who want to build a mosque in Murfreesboro, less than 895 miles from Ground Zero.
You know what else is less than 895 miles from Ground Zero?
Hershey, PA.?
Centennial olympic park.
My ass?
Ground 1.5?
"Just the latest insult from the same communists who want to build a mosque in Murfreesboro"
Obviously, these idiots don't know about our Constituional Right to Freedom of Religion.
You're free to enjoy OUR CHRISTIAN religion all you want…
In a statement released to Hipster Doofus Quarterly, the Sparks Appreciation Society lamented that their gesture had been sadly misinterpreted. "It's a visual pun, you know? Ron Reagan, Ron Mael? People are such philistines."
You know, I had managed to forget Sparks.
I used to date a girl named Phyllis Steen.
I LOL'd.
My condolences to Miss Steen.
"People could be seen laughing in their cars, others stopped to take photos of the damage."
In Reagan's Central America, that sort of behavior could cause you to wind up in a landfill.
Reagan didn't lay a wreath at the cemetery in Bittberg, Germany containing the graves of nearly 2,000 German soldiers, including 49 SS troops, for nothing.
He was honoring the fallen Republican soldiers of years past.
HEIL HERR RONNIE RAYGUN!!!!
Not everyone can pull off that look. Is there nothing Saint Ronny couldn't do?
Now I can't stop singing the Ramones "Bonzo Goes to Bitburg (My Brain is Hanging Upside Down)"
At least they used black paint, like they used on his hair.
A liberal, gay, feminist, union Democrat that looks like Ronnie with a Hitler mustache? Damn, I want to hit that! Woof woof!
Hmm. Looks natural on him.
What kind of idiot would compare someone who raised taxes, expanded government debt, and granted amnesty to illegal aliens, to Hitler?
Mike Godwin?
The Repubs were just starting to paint Ronnie in blackface to win over the colored vote.
Height considerations aside, that is one lazy ass act of vandalism. One little spritz and pffft, you're outta there.
He was alive when Hitler was. Anyone ever see them together?
It had to be aliens, i'm telling you , Who else is able to reach up that high? Unless Elvis Prestley's spirit is sooooo pissed about that Michell Bachmann gig, desicrating the "Kings" spirit, he still would have needed a ladder though.
My astrologer said it would be appropriate for him to grow the little duster while he was visiting the SS Nazi cemetery in Bitburg.
Thats exactly the kind of leader America needs.
My Grandpa had one of those mustaches. I have the picture.
This is the original mural. The other was a fake.
and last week, he had sillystring on him, next week, …
While I may disagree with Ronald Reagan's politics, I'm pretty sure he wasn't as bad as Hitler.
And yet strangely becoming.
Under intense pressure (& thanks to a leaked video) the local GOP eventually admits they did it themselves to make libtards look bad … by which time the media has moved on to rumors of Rebecca Black getting nipple-rings & a tribal face-tattoo for her surprise transition to Goth-Metal.
"The damage was first noticed Monday morning when people started showing up for work in the downtown area and felt the sudden urge to goose step."
putnam county, tn is a haven for hitler mustaches of the un-ironic variety.
This is what passes for local news in Tennessee. Up here where I live, your mural hasn't made it until it's been tagged or vandalized in some other way, and it certainly doesn't warrant or get any news coverage.
Cookesville, Tennessee, tear down this wall!
It's like having someone crap on an Image of Muhammad.
Is she submissive? And if so, Biblically or Bachmanically?
St. Raygun was the personification of George Carlin's question, "If a really stupid person goes senile, how can you tell?"
Oh boy, what an awesome quote that should live on forever.
Go ahead, hon. You know you *want to.*
