"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." -Winston Churchill

Oh! That's so funny!

Another tired teleprompter mention. Yeah, solid argument against 'Socialism', that.

If you wish to be taken seriously, then be serious. Otherwise, clown rhetoric will identify you as, well, a clown.

Seriously.

What gives you the idea

What gives you the idea that I give a rat's ass whether or not you take me seriously?  I don't even know who the hell you are.  Let me help you: this is a weekly picture caption stream...you look at the picture and think up a caption.  For Christ's sake, Wanda Sykes is at the podium, yet the teleprompter screen is facing Obama!  It writes itself.  I would have thought you could take a joke...after all, your President is one.

Teleprompters are funny though. Just ask Barry! : )

Hey libtard, let me clue you in on something.
Your hero can't speak without one. It's proven every time one of his sheep
screws one up or one fails on its own. Second, your wretched Congress hero,
Nanny Pelosi, can't even LIE straight without flailing around like a typical
moonbat from San Freaksicko and has to get her paperwork in order before
quoting what SHE SAID in the past. And libtards like you want to sit here and
whine about a teleprompter joke? BTW, why ARE you libtards trolling
Conservative websites anyway? Don't you people on the mindless left have the
Daily Kook and Huff & Puffpost to tend to? Idiots.

Re facelift?

I hate that look, it seems popular mostly with black women for some reason. Is it electrolysis or just plucking? They take it way, way too far.

Doubling down on stupid is not a particularly good idea. ~Andrew Breitbart

Joke thread?

If that's the case, truly, then nevermind.

I was referred to this site by a very Conservative friend who, after consdiderable conversation, touted NB as the conservative's version of MediaMatters (which engages in no such nonsense).

Dkos is arguably the best place for liberal snark- if I want C-snark, there are much better places for that than here.

My mistake.

p.s. any of you aware of a legit conservative-leaning media watchdog? I've tried Accuracy in Media (huge fail after my email conversations with the editors), now here. Honestly, I don't live in a bubble and prefer to form my opinions via well-informed arguments from all perspectives. No matter how humourous or engaging, partisan snark makes that difficult.

the conservative's version of MediaMatters (which engages in no such nonsense). 

That's because liberals have no sense of humor. We conservatives are quite capable of both serious discussion and poking fun. This captionfest is a once-a-week thing....they used to even do a thread of funny videos on Saturday night (I wish they'd bring that back!)

We also engage in serious commentary.. read some of the other threads.

new guy

I'm relatively new at this, and I enjoy the comments a lot.  Took me a few weeks to figure out the schedule and rythm of the site, but it's enjoyable and informative.

That said (my turn to blast the troll); how'd he get stuck on the very first item on NB (captionfest), couldn't get past it, and then posts his snide drivel instead of just reading and learning?

Oh yeah..."they" already know it all.  No learning required, thank you very much. 

You missed the joke

"I was referred to this site by a very Conservative friend who, after consdiderable conversation, touted NB as the conservative's version of MediaMatters (which engages in no such nonsense)."

The mere existence of Media Matters is a joke. Here you have an alleged media watchdog run by a president and CEO, David Brock, who is an admitted serial liar. Nevertheless, liberals (even some in the media) cite Media Matters as a legitimate source.

Thanks Wanda! Rush won't 'Praise Me'!

Barack Obama hates Rush Limbaugh and it is extremely rare for a sitting President to attack a 'Private Citizen'.

Barack Obama started this because Rush Limbaugh had the 'Audacity' to NOT Praise Obama-Messiah.

Wanda Sykes reminds Obama that at least someone agrees with his 'Hatred' of anyone who does NOT bow before the 'One'.

    On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas that for far too long have strangled our politics...in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things."   Inauguration Speech, January 20, 2009

So much for the healing and bridging of differences. 

 

Since he said what??

after all, what does any of that liberal/legal speak mean?  A whole lot of nothing.  "worn out dogmas"??  Really??!?!?!

As for scripture - setting aside childish things was about becoming a man, acting like a man, behaving like a man.  I wish we had a man, nay, an adult, in the whitehouse.  This asshat acts as if he won the prom king crown and that this was a popularity contest.  No leadership required.  Good God!!!

As for the caption fest -- Wanda scans the crowd for her next sexual conquest and spots Helen Thomas in the front row

quesiton for you all

i know this is supposed to be humor related and all, but did any of you notice Wanda said that Rush said the hopes the country fails?  i'm pretty sure Rush said he hopes the country SUCCEEDS and Obama fails at his socialist/progressive agenda.  is not anyone calling her out on that?  humor is best when its based on truth.  she straight mangled the truth.  this happens on all levels with the left.  if it ever happens with conservatives, please stand up and correct it.  we are better than that.

silver lining

I think I see here some hope.  Not the Obama kind of hope but hope that someday this nighmare of liberal government might  end. The arrogance, meanness, and utter stupidity displayed here is a portent for the fall from power of Obama and his multitude of sycophants.  You can't go around laughing and joking about men dying painful deaths and get away with it forever.  If the Chosen One thinks that anyone dying of kidney failure is funny, then there is something inherently wrong with him, and eventually that flaw born in arrogant hate will come back in the form of no votes from voters.  You can't go around wishing for the deaths of those who oppose you and remain president for very long.  That arrogant hateful woman racist may have put into words what Obama is really thinking, and may have signaled the beginning of what may bring him down.

Catherwood - I so hope this IS the beginning of the end!

Hi Guys, I spent 4 hrs yesterday figuring out how to file an ethics complaint against Nancy Pelosi. We have drafted a letter, all you have to do is copy and paste into email with your info and sign and use the email address shown... We started this on http://giovanniworld... please  help us get many more complaints....We call it "Bringing Down The Hag" Thanks Steve Janus

To: elizabeth.horton@mail.house.gov.

 Dear members of the Congressional Ethics Committee, I, (your name here), residing at ___, phone # ___, e-mail ____, would like to open an Ethics violation case against the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. I believe she has lied to the American public, and to Congress and to the C.I.A. Repeatedly, she has stated an untruth — that she was not informed and knew nothing about waterboarding of prisoners. She has changed her story 3 times now, the latest on May 14, 2009. I believe her lying to the American people, Congress, and the C.I.A. has put me, my Family, and our nation at a greater risk for terrorism. With all due respect, I ask that you investigate this matter before more damage is done to our great nation and more American lives are put at risk. I acknowledge that section 1001 of title 18 of United States code (commonly known as the False Statements Act) applies to the information provided. Sincerely,

Obama reaction to Wanda Sykes comment

Obamaniacs got to see his toothy smile.   

The bigger question is this president capable of  showing the world he is made of world leader material.   His amusement at the expense of a radio personality he has previously used as a verbal punching bag verifies he lacks statesmanship qualities.  His continual swipes at Limbaugh, Hannity and Fox News prove this point.
