HPCA does the election!

"i don't care what religion a candidate is if they're qualified" *cries bloody murder at a muslim congressman*

Any day now Obama will peel his face off to reveal a muslim space lizard.

[Gands]

I think it's not so much racism, so much as it is their own definition of American. They'd probably all jump behind Herman Cain or Colon Powell, because they fit their definition of American. Obama (and liberals) doesn't fit that definition.

"Who is American?" is a question that's ballsing up American society.

liberals unbellyfeel amerisoc

[Losonti Tokash]

dude they hate powell

[Aaron]

Why?

[Losonti Tokash]

because he endorsed obama two elections in a row

[Gands]

He turned on the GOP, then backed Obama.

I was thinking of the Powell of ten years ago. Oops. Hopefully my point remains.

Any day now Obama will peel his face off to reveal a muslim space lizard.

[Bakustra]

Why?

well, for another thing, he advocated diplomacy and containment before dropping bombs on people, he thinks that the 1973 intervention in chile was unconscionable, he internally opposed iraq, criticized bush after leaving the administration, and admitted that bush lied about wmds after leaving

and all that before endorsing obama, heh

[Aaron]

If I was sent to the UN to lie I'd fucking switch sides too.

[Gands]

As a followup to being happy that there's diversity:

Sorry Winston, your pov is a bit like having an extinction level asteroid plummeting towards you, but being momentarily cheered up on reflecting that homophobia, sexism and racism will finally become history.

EXTINCTION!

I wonder if they realise that the US is seen as the cute mentally disabled orphan in the corner who's trust fund has been robbed by his guardians by the rest of the world? Not as the square jawed world policeman bringing super-justice-democra-freedom to the brown people, one hellfire at a time.

[Aaron]

Too bad someone gave the kid a gun

[weemadando]

Yeah, I forgot that part.

[Losonti Tokash]

we have all the guns

[Flagg]

We've got the brains, you've got the looks, let's kill lots of bunnies!

[magic princess]

That was a fun thread for me. (a, like, totally unrelated person, who, like, totally didn't vote for Obama, yeah)

Do they realize that the rest of the world exists beyond the US borders? Except sa someone to bomb and bring justice to, I mean.

[Aaron]

Look, you've got guys like Rush saying they will move here if Obama won.

Rush fucking Limbaugh! I know damn well that he knows we are a heavily socialist country. Though I would like to see him rant when he's refused entry on the grounds that he violates our hate speech laws. Or refused immigration because he has no skills in demand.

The contrast between the relative sanity of the non-Americans in that thread compared to the Americans is pretty delicious.

Actually sanity may not be the right way to describe it. It looks like there are a number of people there that are rational within their psychic reality. They look insane because the world they live in does not resemble ours.

That Slade fellow though, from what I see of him in TEO and TBO I don't think he's so much a wingnut as the lowest kind of panderer to whatever audience he's in front off. A guy that needs that much validation from lines of text on a screen should not be taken seriously.

I waver between wanting to do some TobleroneTriangular-style trolling and realizing that it would only be depressing in the end.

it could have a major payoff if you were able to get one of them to step over the line and make a threat against the president (and then reported that threat)

then watch the lols roll in when stuart slade bitches about the secret service hassling him for records and half the forum has a gigantic crybaby meltdown over BIG GOV'T trampling their freedoms

[evilsoup]

dude
I think that's be a bit much

[magic princess]

The funny thing was how the spoken truth of Obama's impending victory simply shut down the thread. The same person had to post again with an implied complaint over how quickly the media called it to make the bitchfest start, despite predicting that would happen.

if only that were truuueee

What's funnier is that even as much as we love to bitch about the US for pretty much everything, polls say that France is the country that likes the US the most.
