Sinister Obama uses common Right Wing talking point: "the"
Edited on Wed Jan-02-08 01:46 AM by killbotfactory
Barack Obama shocked his loyal liberal supporters today when he used the word "the". "The" is a common right-wing talking point used to smear Democrats like Al Gore, who wrote a movie called "An" Inconvenient Truth. "An" is a left-wing indefinite article and a progressive article. Progressives do not believe in black or white, so they use "a" and "an". When Obama uses the definite article "the", it is an endorsement of the Bush black or white philosophy, and it is a direct attack on Al Gore, who used the progressive friendly indefinite article in his movie title.

"The" is commonly used in right-wing frames. Here are some examples:
"The" war on terror
"The" sanctity of marriage
and worst of all:
"The" homosexual agenda.

Obama's statement today of "the" is clearly a slap in the face to all liberals and amateur campaign managers who think that Democrats lose elections because they don't obsess mindlessly over silly framing/language games. Using this word is a direct attack on Al Gore's character and probably the equivalent of denying global warming and pouring ten million barrels of oil into New Orleans just for fun.

Obama's use of the right-wing talking point "the" is a clear endorsement of all of Bush's "The" War on Terror policies like waterboarding and blowing stuff up in other countries for no good reason.

There you have it, Obama is the devil incarnate. What more proof do you need?

Be sure to take the poll at the link.

You do know that if we went in search of "anti comments" on any candidate, we could find negative slams up the ying yang on every one running, don't you?

Good grief.

I was thinking of switching avatars, cause I had that one for so long, but I liked the lime kitty too much.

Okay, changing back now, just for you larissa.

I know it's hard to tell because people are being so ridiculous, but it's satire.

11. The thing is...
...it doesn't read much differently from anti-Obama "logic" posted in earnest here by Hill's Shills -- except that it's better-written.
