Raw Meat Issue of the Day - Open Thread


Welcome to today's edition of the Raw Meat Issue of the Day. Today's Raw Meat is the Obama Town Hall Meeting. That's right, that perfect example of democracy in action where:
  1. You had to register to attend the event in advance
  2. You had to submit questions in advance
  3. You had to wait to be told where and when it was happening
  4. You apparently had to know someone in the SEIU to get in
Here is some video from this auspicious event:
Enjoy! And, as always, this thread is an open thread, so feel free to comment on other important issues of the day!

  1. From Michelle Malkin:

    2:00pm Eastern. Obama just made a show of trying to find a questioner to challenge him. “I don’t want people saying I just have a bunch of plants in here.”

    ROTFLMAO

    What. A. Poseur.

  2. I like that he's comparing it to the post office. You know, always way over budget, declining services, getting its ass handed to it by th eprivate sector, etc. Awesome ROTFL

  3. And he wonders why people don't find him trustworthy. (Or maybe he doesn't.)

    He apparently thinks he can win this by sending out flying monkeys all over the 'net and using the media.

    The only chance he has is convincing Democrats to sacrifice their own political careers to give him what he wants. We'll see.

    And they are all over the net. No question. Seems like every conservative and/or moderate blog is being filled with such types. Unfortunately, some of those blogs are embracing them.

    Frustrating.

  5. Elevating them, even.

    A lot of them seem to end up wielding enormous clout on those sites.

  6. I like this one. Kind of sums it up.

    Not that I was ever hopeful to begin with.

  7. Excellent! "Deeply Disappointed" sums it up very nicely!

  8. Did you hear they let Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme out?

  9. Did you hear they let Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme out?

    I heard that. I wonder if she is still one of "Charlie's Girls" now.

  10. I just hope she remembered to grab her laptop on the way out the door.

    ReplyDelete
  11. To the taxi, but then she's on batteries, I would guess.

    Where in the world does a Squeaky Fromme go when she gets out of prison? To the forest?

  12. Californya-ya. I hear it's super nice to the homeless.

  13. That's where I'd go, if I were homeless. I'm no fool.

  14. That's where I'd go, if I were homeless. I'm no fool.

    I'd also consider the tent cities around Seattle. Except, you know, they end up eating too much Chicken Lasagna.

  15. AHAHAHAHAHAHA...Wiki:

    As a child, Fromme was a performer for a popular local dance group called the Westchester Lariats,[3] which in the late 1950s began touring the U.S. and Europe, appearing on The Lawrence Welk Show and at the White House. Fromme was in the 1959 tour.[4]

  16. Helter Skelter! *shocked* I knew it. I just knew it. That Lawrence Welk was one insidious corrupting SOB!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Oh man, this is hilarious!

    When U.S. Attorney Duane Keyes recommended severe punishment because she was "full of hate and violence," Fromme threw an apple at him, hitting him in the face and knocking off his glasses.[10]

    Typical liberal. "You're a HATER!!!!!" [SNARL.]

    LOL

  18. Charlie's girls are still doing that.

  19. That Lawrence Welk was one insidious corrupting SOB!

    I have one and two degrees (respectively) of separation from Lawrence Welk, in two distinct relationships. How I managed to escape unscathed, I'm not sure.

    I could just as easily have ended up a sycophantic nutburger like...oh, nevermind.

    Ahem.

  20. Wow! Snoutpalm, I hardly knew ye!!!



    Should I be skeered?

    ReplyDelete
  21. In all honesty? No. I'm actually a harmless little fuzzball.

    Unless you mess with those I love.

    Then I will have to get all Mama Bear on your ass.

    But I'm no sycophant.

    ReplyDelete
  22. But I'm no sycophant.

    That's good. Sycophants are like remoras. Pathetic leeches feeding off the work of others. I hate remoras.

  23. I see big money potential, securing the following domain:

    squeakyfrommeonline.com

    She could seriously blog!

    ReplyDelete
  24. She could! With her cutting wit, I'm sure if she took a stab at it, she'd be a hit!

    ReplyDelete
  25. All questions were approved in advance. This shouldn't be a shock to anybody.

    Bottom line? Obama is still campaigning. Something has smelled fishy (and no, it wans't me)

    ReplyDelete
  26. It's just typical of Democrats to accuse the opposition of doing what they are doing - pretending this is some kind of honest, sincere forum, when in fact, it's staged.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Oh, and I just saw a pig fly by - as I was sitting just below the surface stalking a big ol' fat fish:

    In the latest issue of Rolling Stone, Michael Moore insists that Barack Obama’s ambitions are much farther left than he lets on. Thus, the President has been deliberately lying to us about everything from healthcare reform to the war on terror.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Was the pig unshaven and wearing a baseball cap?

  29. Who knows? I avoid looking at him. I've seen enough bloated whales in my day.
