How Dumb Are the Obama Haters?

By Tim Graham | August 31, 2011 | 11:44

How dumb do Obama fans think the American people are? Even the people around Washington DC? One example came on the oldies station Big 100.3 FM in Washington, where morning host Tommy Griffiths joked his DVR was on the blink and presented a ridiculously doctored Obama speech, with “Over the Rainbow” playing in the background. Obama was edited to say things like this (audio here):




I want damage up and down the East Coast, and power outages and flooding...Above all, I want to thank this storm. I want to thank all disasters, very much....So I’m going to make sure many Americans are still at serious risk of significant flooding and widespread power outages.

On Tuesday morning, Griffiths explained that several callers were extremely angry at this prank, even though he claimed it wasn’t political. (You cannot mock Obama and have people think it’s not political.) So he played a caller complaining she would stop listening to his show because  “There are too many stupid idiots who actually will believe he said things like that.”

You would indeed have to be a stupid idiot to fall for this joke.

Howard Stern via Baba Booey

Howard Stern via Baba Booey has already proven conclusively that there are stupid people that will fall for ANYTHING no matter how ridiculous, absurd and/or obvious.

That should be played in all 57 states!

It should also be used at Marine Corpse Birthday parties this year.

I knew it was fake right off the bat because there were no ....ahhh's, ...ughhh's,  you KNOW's, ever' body's, waita'minute-waita'minute's, etc, in it.

And don't forget "laser focus" and "we would have been better able to uh, respond to this, uh, disaster if it weren't for, uh, the failures of the uh prior administration"

It is doubtful, I agree, that anyone could believe that even an audio montage of this sort could be an Obama speech. There is an obvious lack of a teleprompter.

For you libs out there, he didn't really say that, but he might as well have.

I'll take your statement, Dave, and add Newsbubba's stammering and stuttering and hemming and hawwing...........and maybe throw in the economy, the TEA party, the Republicans, capitalism, typical white people, and everything and everybody else that Barack the Destroyer disdains, disrespects, and dismisses...........and roll into that speech, and it would be totally believable to an idiot like me...........

killa,

Well, after all, Obama didn't seem to give a rat's rear-end about the flooding in the midwest, the flooding in Tennessee that damaged the Grand Ole Opry, nor the Joplin tornado.

Of couse, we all know why that was.

As for Irene, Obama, nor his MSM dog-washers, seemed to care one bit about the potential damage in SC or NC (notice the dearth of coverage once the storm was gone, as well as Obama's silence concerning the damage that did occur), and didn't seem to get their red thongs in a bunch until Irene threatened Moscow on the East River, along with their precious New England.

LOL - But I guess I'm just too much of an idiot to actually get it.

Actually, yes...

I could easily see it, depending on his audience...

He made fun of secure border people blatantly, when talking to open-border folks (moat joke), and earlier, said they were enemies.

He says to anti-gun rights people that he's working "under the radar" to implement executive orders for gun controls.

He says things worse than this to his core followers all the time.

I can easily imagine that he would say these vary things to a group of "anti-east coaters," or "pro-hurrican" folks, if such groups existed, and could muster votes.

Submitted by killa37 on Wed, 08/31/2011 - 12:36pm.

I see where another Dem from the Congressional Black Caucas (not to be confused with the Congressional WHITE Caucas), who is a black moooooooooooooooooooooooslem, has made another racial comment about the TEA party - claiming that the TEA party wants to see blacks 'hanging from trees'!!!

Last time I remember any blacks 'hanging from trees', it was Dems doing it............and last time I saw whites hanging from bridges, or getting their heads hacked off, it was mooooooooooooooooslems doing it.

Moooooooooooslems don't hang blacks.

They just like to sell and buy them in the slave trade, which is still going on today in their world.

Mooooooslim Pirates

Yup, black slaves are still on the market, they're just not being sold to white slave traders in the west anymore, like the Moooooooslims did back in the day.

And don't even get me started on pirates!

Yeah, Ninjie - don't spill

Submitted by killa37 on Wed, 08/31/2011 - 1:27pm.

Yeah, Ninjie - don't spill the beans about the mooooooooooooslem slave trade - it's their own dirty little secret. Plus, we've got to apologize for and make multi-zillion dollar 'reparations' to all of our 'slaves', since their lives have been so hard because of it!!

Of course, I haven't seen ANY of these so-called 'slaves', or ancestors of 'slaves', packing up all of their TV's, VCR's, I-Phones, I-Pads, furniture, automobiles, clothes, and everything else that they own as 'poor ex-slaves' - and getting on planes to move back to their original homeland!!!

Maybe Barack the Destroyer will pack up and move back to Kenya - that would give me a small modicum of satisfaction.

Well, I think that there's still a LOT of money in his 'stash'............even though they're saving most of it for the next election. But, hey - a couple billion is chump change, right?? 'Create some jobs' for the homeboys in Kenya, so that when he moves over there, he can hit the links..................I think $1,200,000 per job will get a helluva lot more done over there than it does over here.

Maybe not..........I hear that those African countries are even MORE corrupt than our own REGIME, if that's possible!!! And I think those pirates are living pretty high on the hog...........well, they don't eat pork, so that's just an old saying.

I know that there is no such thing as homosexuality in moooooooooooooooslem countries (because it is outlawed, right??), but don't you think some of those sheiks could find a place for that Lemon Squeezer on TV who was claiming that the Libyan atrocities were the same as the anti-gay/lesbian/transgender atrocities being commited in this country???

uneducated and stupid many people are in this country. Just listen to the callers on CSPAN, or the posts on Leftist websites such as the Huffington Post, and you will walk away shaking your head in disgust. These are the people who religiously vote for Democrats and an inexperienced and unqualified community organizer as President.
