Fanaticism, Obamoids, and the Holocaust: Yet More Creepy-ness

[roo_ster]

I ought to just develop some shorthand for quoting Dave Barry's, "I am not making this up..."




Picture this:
* Committed obamoid who hates pressing flesh or calling folks to drum up support for The One.
* Does a personal best 204 calls in one sitting, despite despising the action.
* Gets tattoo of the number, in blue ink, on the inside of their forearm, to commemorate the achievement.

































Now, picture this:

That's why it was such a surprise the day I found my desire to win was stronger than my fear, and made 204 phone calls. I gritted my teeth every time I dialed. But I did it. So I got myself a souvenir, to remind me I can push myself further than I thought I could go.

Here you go, for the full story:

And a little commentary by a Jewish Democrat supporting McCain:

Admittedly, this may be a Jewish thing, but aren't you frightened of people tattoo-ing numbers on your forearm to memorialize your service to "The One"?

It's creepy, and it shows no knowledge of or respect for the Holocaust. No wisdom. No memory. No historical perspective.

God save us from these people. They're crazy.

I like tatoos, so I am not usually one to make fun of other people's choices, but that is just bizarre.  I shudder to think of the Obama-inspired tatoos that people get if he wins.

[Nick1911]

People make odd choices.

It seems that this person doesn't understand the historical significants of a number tattooed on his arm; BUT it's not like he was forced to have it.  It's a free choice a free man made.  I don't think it's a good idea, a smart idea, or for the right reasons; but I support his right to do what he will with his body.

'nuff said.

They don't know the significance of anything they do, it seems.

Cute, silly poster seen in Albany, CA.



I sure recognized the original. I sold a Soviet magazine that featured it, Alexander Rodchenko.

They don't know the significance of anything they do, it seems.

I disagree.  They know darn well what they are monkeying.

They are always in the middle of their journey.

[MicroBalrog]

Do you know what the Rodchenko poster says?

Manedwolf may, I do not.  Care to enlighten us?

It promotes a book publisher.

It says 'LENGIZ - BOOKS IN EVERY SPECIALTY OF KNOWLEDGE'.

Yes, I didn't know the exact translation, but I knew what it was for. Not just "a book publisher" in the definition you might think of. Lengiz was the Leningrad branch of the state publishing house.

Technically, there existed multiple publishing houses, all owned by the state, of course.

LENGIZ stands for Leningradskoe Gosudarstvennoye Isdatelstvo, I think.

Leningrad State Publishing.

When I saw the first poster I was thinking it looked like one of Franz Ferdinand album covers.

I was struck by the same thought. Prolly not a coincidence.

STOP READING MY MIND!

What a weirdo, he can do whatever he wants to his body, but I can think he's crazy for doing it.  And why is calling people such a big deal?  I don't get these people.

There are people for whom it is a huge effort.

Why do you think I work from home?

I call it "phone phobia."  A buddy of mine had a bad case of it.

And some of you all thought us Ron Paul supporters were nuts.

You are. Simply because you are LESS nuts than these wackos doesn't change the fact that you are rather nuts.

You're just MORE rational than these jokers.

Well, I didn't expect a personal attack from that statement. I'm sure if you researched my posts you'd find that although I may be opinionated, I am quite rational.

[Wildalaska]

I am quite rational.

I'll toss that back at you next time you tinfoil insult BATF agents

BATFE agents are never above reproach from anyone. As I've said before, they are thugs without a conscience, addicted to power, with the ghosts of Prohibition barrel-smashers grinning over their shoulders.

Two words. Cavalry Arms.

And it just keeps the streets so safe for them to have decreed that a brand-new Steyr barrel had to be cut to chunks before it could come into the country with an STG-58 kit. Because we all know gangstas build, properly headspace and use vintage battle rifles...

Charlie Rangel leads a crowd in Obama worship, assuring them he will "save the United states," and "the entire world."  "Who's our hero?  Who do we love?"

And is there a final result of that yet?

I always knew I was crazy.

I'd rather be crazy and supporting individual liberty, rather than 'sane' and supporting socialism.

WildasihavesaidbeforebalmingthemanyfortheactionsofthefewisdumbAlaska â„¢

Final result? Yeah. The fact that there is no final result and no charges while a business that got gutshot by BATFE for "no charges yet filed" is struggling to stay alive with all that unlawful seizure of their inventory and even their business records on computers.

Tends to kill a business.
