Because Black People are Fungible Tokens
I have to admit to you, my dear Angry Black Readers, that this Weiner business has taken the fire right out of me. (This is my first blog post in FIVE DAYS!)
While Democrats waste time talking about whether Weiner should resign or go to “Asshat Rehab” or whatthecrapever, there’s a giant misogynist/sexual predator/asshat sitting on the Supreme Court, having a good laugh at the Democrats’ utter stupidity, while his Teabilly wife cackles with glee and collects another Heritage Foundation paycheck.
I’m disgusted.
With every passing day that that Democrats ignore Clarence Thomas’s conflict of interest in favor of yet another round of handwringing over some dude’s penis, the more difficult it becomes for me to view the political landscape as anything but a farce.
And what better example of this political theater of the absurd than a mock debate between Libertarian wet dream, Gary Johnson, and a Barack Obama look-alike? Because debating a guy who “looks” like Obama is an accurate measure of what it would be like to debate the real “Obama.” You know — because we’re all the same:
Yet more evidence of the embarrassment that is Fox News.
I mean, for fuck’s sake: Fox News used a photo of Tina Fey instead of a photo of Sarah Palin while a Fox News “reporter” blathered on about Sarah Palin, who is fifty percent maybe going to run for president –
but 100 percent definitely going to grift your ass while she makes up her mind.
This is your political landscape: No better than a poorly-scripted episode of Saturday Night Live.
Ugh.

Why. Why. Why!?
Do you have any idea how difficult it is to type while performing a double-facepalm? Very.
But I’m fighting through it simply to say it’s s**t like this that makes my head damn near explode.
Bloody f’ing hell.
Hold on, something is coming to me, here.
You black people are fungible… and you seem to overbreed (if memory serves? Or you don’t breed enough? Depending on the particular -ism in play?)… and mushrooms are fungi, and seem to breed in great big bunches, too, without regard to where or how a reasonable person might want them to appear… and fungi are brown-ish… and fungi sounds like fungible…
FOX NEWS THINKS AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE MUSHROOMS.
No, seriously. Tell me this doesn’t make nearly as much sense as debating faux Obama, if not more. I think Fox News thinks black people are ‘shrooms.
that would explain why i cause people to trip out, like mr. will hayes up there.
o_O The code. You’ve cracked it.
Mr. Will below there…AKA Mr.CrankyouuplikeaHondatruck,eatyoulikearib.
I think Fox “News” is for people who did too many shrooms back in the day.
The viewers won’t get it. The quote marks will go over their heads. And they’ll wonder why Obama is on Fox news at the same time he’s in Puerto Rico or wherever, non-white, non-English speaking, non- native born people like to hang out. It’s a confusing world for these viewers.
The problem for Johnson is, when doing a faux debate like this it make him appear a less than serious candidate. Not that he is a serious candidate, of course he is Glenn Greenwalds candidate, so it makes me laugh he would play a pointless game like this one. It does diminish his chances greatly to ever be accepted as a mainstream candidate. I don’t think he will be participating in the debate of fools tonight, which is suppose is further indication he is not a serious candidate but a man auditioning for a show on Faux. I could be wrong, it has happened once or twice. :)
You intrepid reporter will be recording this debate and posting any interesting snippets on my youtube channel.
Every time a black person makes fun of/insults a white person, that black person is clearly a racist. Every time a black person attacks a white person, it is a hate crime. Every time a black person calls a white person a racist with absolutely no evidence, that black person is the definition of racist. Oh, and all the same things are true of women that insult men: totally sexist. Everything above is a fact, if you believe all the slander of white folks by angry black racists. Discuss that.
@WillHayes, where did that come from? And aren’t you way off topic here, I mean this is about Gary Johnson debating a fake Obama. Do you have a comment about that, or is this just a place for you to come rant that you as a white man are being hurt by racist black folk and man-hating womyn.
Did you read the article above? It was not about Gary Johnson. He was quoted as saying…oh, he wasn’t quoted or discussed at all except as a foil to whine about racism and display your angry hate. Barry Obama has a 45% approval rating after gutting the US economy and lying every time he opens his mouth for, at least, seven years(I’m from Illinois). If anything, this country loves a proud black man enough to ignore the fact that he is the worst President this country has ever had, by a lot.
Poor Will Hayes, a sad angry excuse of a human being. Yes Will part of the blog is about Gary Johnson making an ass of himself debating a fake President Obama. You turned it into a racist, sexist rant. You Limbaugh worshipers are all the same, angry angry angry. You place blame for everything that has happened to you on everyone except for yourself! Typical, but you are your own problem. If you are struggling is isn’t’ because of womyn or black people it is because of you! Do you think that everyone cannot see how angry you are, geez you anger permeates right through your mama’s keyboard. The worst part Will is you and your kind are so tedious, let me guess you are a divorced man, angry at his ex-wife for taking everything of his, even the house, part of your retirement, your kids don’t like you much, you have a mediocre job and much like an alcoholic, you place blame instead of accepting some responsibility of your own for your place in life. Since you are a straight white guy you should be on top ‘o the world, if you aren’t it isn’t because of anyone here it is because of you. Now do the Republican thing and pull yourself up by your jockstrap and take care of business. But quit blaming everyone else for problems that are clearly caused by you and you alone.
ah! i get why you’re confused. it’s because you’re stupid and don’t understand my “Great White Hope” reference.
stupid Teabillies.
It’s a cryin’ shame.
Hahahaha, yes, but it is also quite amusing in a sad way. These angry white guys always make me laugh hard when they whine about how awful womyn and black people are for taking all their stuff.
You poor retarded liberals are all the same. You have been brain washed your whole lived to believe that you are victims, so now you have no grasp of the real issues. Oh, insulting a non-tea party, non-divorced, non angry white man is not a discussion of any issue. You must argue ad hominum because you have no idea what the real issue is: Barry is lying to you on a daily basis. Money is not free and he is destroying our economy. Why not take a break from bashing the white male you sexist racists, and tackle your lie that the only thing that stops big government from giving everything to everyone for free is lack of compassion. 3 million private sector jobs lost under Obama. Fact.
P.S. The Great White Hope” is a play about one man’s struggle against society, not a liberal fluff piece on racism. At least read the play, my one issue racist friend. Maybe it went over my head. Maybe I’m ignorant, racist.
The idea that all black people look the same to all white people is a racist accusation of racism based on nothing. Calling me names like an angry frustrated male is a sexist diatribe. Right? That is the premise of victimhood: find a way to call the other person the most vile name you can with no proof. Calling me stupid is just ironic. I’m still learning here, help me out.
Dear Will Hayes,
I don’t know who you are. I’m not enjoying what I’ve seen so far, but I suspect that’s the point.
But here’s what happens when you take it upon yourself to stir up controversy for the sheer sport of it: You get predictable AND colossally boring. You, sir, have achieved both.
Please stop. Either say something that is both informed and interesting (a thing that I happen to know that people on the other side of the aisle are capable of when they try) or just stop. At this point, you’re so predictable that I could write your responses for you ahead of time, and honestly, that’s just sad.
Did the village fire you? Is that why you are bitter?
I’m not at all bitter. I am confronting racism in all it’s forms…just like ABRacist is pretending to do. Also, I’m latino, looking out for the white man, that you all discuss as a category/glittering geralization rather than a group composed of indivudals. That is intellectually lazy and the definition of racism, Haters. You people “you people” white folks every time you post.
King of the Tea Party Prom are you?
somebody didn’t take his meds today.
what the hell was that?
YAWWWWWWN.
Election Night 2012 can’t come soon enough. I have no time to argue with sock puppets. Piss off.
P.S. Neither I, the white folks in my family (I reckon sock puppets don’t take the time to read the About Me section of the blogs they take shits all over, but I can’t expect that) nor any of the bloggers here are racist. You don’t know what racism is (although it is clear that you can use Wikipedia, so good on ya).
I look forward to not reading your comments for the next couple years. One thing Mr. Will Hayes, watch the ableist language or I will ban you. Calling liberals “retarded” is boring. I’m sure you can come up with something more creative.
Like this: Conservativism is a disease for the weak-minded.
Now you try!
See ya when you next make your rounds, mouth-breather!
Cheers.
Shorter Will Hayes: Leave Gary Johnson alooooooone! ::sob::
So, you’re not a racist because you have white family members and friends? That’s original, racist. You assume I looked at Wiki because you do not read plays, and there’s no way I do? That’s what liberals do. They know, at a fundamental level, that they suck, and assume everyone else does too…except for Barry.
Here’s a Wiki definition: Retardation is the act or result of delaying; the extent to which anything is retarded or delayed.
I’ll translate for you: you are slow to digest actual information. You people(not black people, liberals, though the racist in you is already defensive) reject everything that does not fit your myopic world view. You are slow to accept that facts exist. Barry does lie every time he speaks. Half the nation shudders every time he opens his mouth, exactly the same way you did for eight years with George Bush. George Bush was just Obama-lite. They are both huge government, expand regulation(that Bush cut regulation is a lie),spend borrowed money, and pretend that faux Keynesian defecit ‘stimulus,’ that you have to pay interest on forever, works.
Of course you have not responded to any of my points. You have just insulted me, mocked my medication(sunshine and smiles), and threatened to ban me. Typical of you people to never discuss any causal relationships, but utlize what little power you have to avoid a real conversation that might make you look…slow.
Oh, and saying that you don’t respond to sock puppets with two long posts makes you look more than slightly stupid-er.
Yawwwwn. Did you say something?
I do like Gary Johnson, on the issues. His delivery has been lacking. Who here is not for decriminalization of pot, creating far more private sector jobs with far less government spending (which Gary did and even Barry pretends he’s for), and the state having no right to define/prohibit things like marriage(gay and/or straight), a woman’s right to choose, and free speech? Just because you don’t understand economics doesn’t mean you have to hate on someone you might actually like.
Much love angry. If you were here I would try to hug you, and you would probably try to have me arrested. I hope you cheer up. If you have any questions, I am here to help.
honey, you know exactly jack and squat about me or anything. i’m sorry your attempts to pigeonhole me as a racist have failed (note: simply repeating lies do not make them true, no matter what the Tea Party tells you). fortunately, that’s your problem, not mine.
(next, i expect you’ll ask me what i’m so angry about, in which case i would, again, point you to my about me section. but, as i said, that’s likely above your paygrade.)
and yes, i do not have time to argue with sockpuppets who think this –
“You are slow to accept that facts exist. Barry does lie every time he speaks.”
– constitutes discourse. i will take all the time i want to mock you incessantly. that’s just good clean fun.
at any rate, i’ll be sure to call you when i need your help. please do hold your breath. and while you wait for my call, try reading up on ableist language. just drop the word retarded. trust me. besides, it’ll help you blend in with the liberals as you try and fail to take them on.
Kisses,
ABL/STM/ABR?
P.S. It’s ad hominem. If you’re going to use latin phrases, you should try to spell them properly.
ABL, I do thank you for this blog. I think though, that in the case of this Hayes character (Latino? Proof?) the term “retarded” might still appropriately be employed. Or would you prefer “microcephalic” as an alternative?
I’d use “potatohead” if I didn’t want to insult the rest of the nightshade family with the comparison.
“microcephalic.”
now that i like!
I have more…
As always, nothing resembling substance, or a good comeback.
“You know nothing,” was really effective in grade school. You are an open book. It’s just a super skinny book.
Should I stop? Do you need the last word for your fragile little ego?
A monster bear hug that makes you feel really loved for the first time,
Will
OK, sockpuppet, you can spell “substance” correctly, now it’s your turn to show us some.
Still waiting…
Still waiting…
Still waiting…
Still waiting…
The best you can do to correct me factually is a spelling error. Nice.
Abelist: speech code, thought police, Orwellian, totalitarian, and pathetic. I remeber when liberals believed in freedom, not illegalizing words.
J.K. Rowling: Fear of a name icreases fear of a thing itself.
You never mocked me. How could you mimic me. I actually write ideas and don’t respond with cliches like “(your comment doesn’t)constitute discourse,” with a huffy, racist nose way up in the air.
dude, you’re cracking me up now. welcome to the fray.
“racist nose way up in the air.”
HA! that’s classic.
OK. Now that we are all chummy, why do you two assume I’m a sock puppet? Why not use my real name? Google me. I used to sell Alpine lynx cats and I think I’m still the first person who comes up. I also published StoryQuarterly magazine for ten years…and you can trace my IP address to the Chicago Loop.
