    Darryl,
    School us, please. Fred Phelps says stuff even nuttier than that, so did he say that or is that just soft-spooning what he usually says?

    You know Phelps is a Democrat, right?

    From Wikipedia:

    “Phelps has run in various Kansas Democratic Party primaries five times, but has never won. These included races for governor in 1990, 1994, and 1998, receiving about 15 percent of the vote in 1998.[58] In the 1992 Democratic Party primary for U.S. Senate, Phelps received 31 percent of the vote.[59] Phelps ran for mayor of Topeka in 1993[60] and 1997.[61]”

    proud leftist,

    “Fred Phelps says stuff even nuttier than that, so did he say that or is that just soft-spooning what he usually says?”

    To me, it’s more about the other group of crazies in the clip: Teabaggers using holocaust images, who, in doing so, approach Phelpsian levels of depravity and craziness.

    Why? To educate people. I believe information is power. I am, at heart, a teacher. And I imagine most people did not know that the Rev. Fred Phelps is a Democrat.

    I thought… fuck, the troll is lying.
     
    I googled.
     
    Priceless, the old loon is a democrat. Even ran for office as a democrat.
     
    And this classic from mother jones…
    were invited to — and attended — both of Clinton’s inaugurations.
     
    Thanks troll for being a teacher on this saturday morning.

    From npr…
     

    The Chinese have learned English from his speeches and celebrated the way he rolls up his sleeves. Now President Barack Obama is finally coming, and he’s being greeted with “Oba Mao” T-shirts and a statue of him that bursts into flames.

      
    Even the good nicknames for oba-mao are being outsourced.
     
    Do doubt a source of pride for the chinese for obama being like mao to them.

    Has anyone mentioned obamao bowing to the emperor of japan?
     
    Is anyone keeping track of the countries that obamao visits where he bows to their leaders?
    1. saudi arabia
    2. japan

    Things must be going real bad for obamao when I link to npr stories.
     

    A weaker dollar may boost the nation’s economy by increasing exports and narrowing the trade gap — but that won’t happen anytime soon.

    Instead, the nation’s trade deficit rose in September by the largest percentage in a decade as U.S. exports grew for the fifth straight month, but imports rose faster, a government report showed Friday. That trend is likely to continue until the middle of next year, economists said.
    …
    Higher exports, spurred by a lower dollar, probably won’t reduce the trade gap and boost the U.S. economy until 2011, economists said.

     
    obamanomics… designed by someone who couldn’t figure out turbo tax.

    Wow Marvin, you’re really onto something…

    Diplomacy, protocol, simple politeness mean anything to you? Bowing to a Japanese is the natural polite greeting. I suppose you’d go ape shit if Obama shook hands with say Michelle Bachelet. (Or held hands with Crown Prince Abdullah for that matter.)

    Here’s a few tips should you ever try to venture out into the world.

    Don’t touch a middle easterner with your left hand. Odds are he’ll find it extremely disrespectful if you do.

    Don’t make the circle and three fingers “O.K.” symbol in most of africa. To them it’s like giving the middle finger.

    DO bow politely when greeting Asains.

    DON’T under ANY circumstances give an unnanounced backrub to a German.

    Maybe you’d be more comfortable if Obama just greeted every world leader with a fist bump on the chest and cry of “U.S.A. What! What!!!”

    Once again Marvy-poo…you’re an idiot. Pick logical things to get outraged over, O.K. pal?

Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
