Obama Gets All Manish

TUESDAY MAY 20 2008 6:00 AM

TAGS: Barack Obama, Republicans, John McCain

Holy shit, who invited a man to the party? Yesterday, Barack Obama stood up and acted more like a man than any presidential candidate I’ve ever seen. The Republican Party in Tennessee decided it would be a super idea to attack Michelle Obama, but Barack told them to back their shit up. And it was impressive.



I like the end, just before he remembered to smile. That was a, "Keep it up and I'm going to kick the shit out of you" moment.

That clip will go down as one of the most important in this campaign. That’s what men who care about their wives do. Nobody gets to talk shit about my wife or disrespect her while I’m around. It’s just not going to happen. Maybe that’s chauvinistic, I don’t really give a shit. You want to talk shit about my wife, you better be prepared for what you have coming. End of fucking story.

The Republicans seem to think being a tough guy means attacking countries that have no ability to defend themselves against our incredible firepower – or to talk a big game. George Bush’s “Bring it on” comment is a pretty classic example, as was his ridiculously stupid invasion of Iraq. All the right wing talking heads lap it up and proclaim the Democrats to be weak, spineless creatures. At the same time, these big bad GOP men launch endless verbal assaults against Democratic politician’s families.

One needs only look at the attacks on Hillary Clinton while Bill was in charge of the White House. It was endless. And they even went after Chelsea Clinton. In 1998, John McCain made a joke about Chelsea at a Senate fundraiser.


“Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?" he asked. "Because her father is Janet Reno."


For me, this is Sonny Corleone time. If I was Bill Clinton, I'd get on a plane, fly to wherever the old man is and break his nose. Obviously, the president can’t do that. But I'd sure as hell call him out. I’d call a press conference, walk out to the White House lawn and tell McCain to come on up and say it to my face. I’d look into the cameras and make sure America heard one thing:


A real man does not say such things. A real man does not attack his opponent’s daughter. That is what a coward does.


Besides being the right thing to do, it would score so many political points it would be insane. Most men in America would want to kick the shit out of a grown man who called their daughter ugly. This was the most relatable moment Barack Obama has ever had.

This is the kind of shit Republicans have been able to get away with for years – and it needs to stop now, with Michelle Obama. This latest attack will go down as a tremendous backfire. Barack knows how to frame it. Honestly, I got a little tingly watching it. My wife called me and said, “That’s exactly what you would say.” It is. Barack Obama just stood up and acted like any other man who cared about his wife would. Welcome to the world of relatable politics, you calculating GOP fucks.

Attacks on a politician’s family are the ultimate act of cowardice. I don’t give a shit if McCain was shot down over Vietnam and then spent five years as a POW; his entire slate was erased when he made a public joke about Chelsea Clinton. The man is a fucking coward. He’s trash. Let’s take a look at the difference between how the two men treat their wives. From 1992...


At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain's hair and said, "You're getting a little thin up there." McCain's face reddened, and he responded, "At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt." McCain's excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days.


Sorry, when I get tired I call my wife a "cunt." That man is common trash. That moment was witness by three reporters. I’ve got some man rules in my head and that doesn’t match up with any of them. It does meet my "weak fuck" criteria, however.

Obama seems to be cut from a different cloth. It’s rare to see a politician have an uncalculated moment of honesty, but I’ve seen more from Obama in his short time in the spotlight than all other politicians combined. One thing is for sure – yesterday we saw a man stand up and tell a bunch of punks to back the fuck up off his lady. And that man just won over a lot of men in America. The game just changed. Thanks, GOP, for being a bunch of classless cowards.

FearTheReaper understands this is a feminist website, but on some shit he’s old fashioned. Deal with it.

That guy isnt Mccain though.
It is nice to see how far youll go to defend your fake reality. and a nice hero you have. Heres Mine.



I guess it's a good thing that the guy didn't knife him first, then take the wallet AND the jacket. If only Eve Carson had been so lucky.




well, my point is that the only reason that the stories are newsworthy is that they are extreme examples of a mugging, outliers. I would prefer to live in the world where muggers are talked down and fed. you seem to want to live in a world where property is worth killing over.

but thats your preference weirdo.



You're wasting your breath. The real tragic irony is that in his unwillingness to acknowledge even the most basic truths, he proves his point: some people are always going to be cardboard cut-outs of Yosemite Sam, no matter how much you talk at them.

I would prefer to live in a world where people aren't mugged at all. Failing that, I feel the question "Is this car, TV, etc. worth dying over?" be asked by potential criminals rather than the victims.

I think this becomes the point where we "agree to disagree," Sergeant Psycho. Clearly you are going to believe what you want most to believe, no matter what anyone says or argues or no matter the evidence that is laid out before you in this forum. I've conceded that your concerns about genocide are valid. I can see where you're coming from, and why you think the things you do, to a degree. But I also feel that what has been said by the people who disagree with you should have been more than enough to at least convince you that things are not as simple as you would like for them to be.

So it looks as if any voice in this forum does not have the power to sway you, and I don't really see any of the other people actually responding to you changing their minds any time soon. You have to ask yourself at this point what you really hope to gain from further discussion on the matters at hand. In general, and with all due respect, I got nothing else to really say to you on the matter.

Fair enough. Debating you guys generally becomes a chore when I have to start providing links to support my position.

It can't be the latter. A Google search for "liberal homosexual agenda" returns 200,000 hits.

Maybe we haven't put boots on the ground in Darfur because people like you make it politically unviable. People don't seem to realize that when they protest the toppling of one heinous regime, they make it harder, politically for our goverment to topple any heinous regime.


So, America's failure to intervene in Darfur is all the fault of liberals who criticize the war in Iraq.

You have got to be fucking kidding me.



Yeah that pretty much somes it up. I don't remember any of the people protesting for Iraq protesting for Kosovo. Do you?

Enlighten me, why do YOU think we're not intervening in Darfur? And don't say because there's no oil in Sudan.




There was this one guy from Texas...

On Darfur- That situation is also more complex then the MSM would have you believe. As are most of the clusterfucks in Africa.
If you want to help Darfur, the best thing, honestly, is to donate to Doctors Without Borders.

http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/donate/index.cfm?msource=AZD0408H1001

They are one of the only orginizations that can provide effctive relief to refugee camps (relief that doesn't get swallowed up by interceptors).

Also, it is questionable, from a logistical standpoint, whether the US armed forces could even win this conflict short of carpet bombing an area the size of france (killing the people they are supposed to be protecting)

we're fully capable of pacifying Iraq without resorting to wide-scale destruction. we simply lack the will to do so. fill a few mass graves, perform daily public executions, exact hugely imbalanced reprisals on the civilian population for every one of our soldiers that die--it wouldn't be any trouble at all. there would, of course, be downsides to such a campaign.
