Official PUMA Conference 2008!

[monomach]

So...that happened.

Drew about 20ish people, from the look of the pictures. 2 of the 20ish attendees weren't even PUMAs. One is a Lyndon LaRouche cultist and another is Andy Effing Martin (yes, I mean he of "The Anthony R. Martin Congressional Campaign to Exterminate Jew Power in America" fame). Unfortunately, this went down in the middle of nowhere, so the press didn't get any pictures of the epic failure that it was.

Kind of makes you wonder what they think they're going to accomplish. After all, their national convention drew about one person for every 10,000 people Obama managed to draw in a foreign country.

On to Denver! Bring your pots and pans, ladies! :rofl:

[flvegan]

1. Delusional.

Only word I have for them.

[blogslut]

2. Well, at least they had each other

That's all I'm saying.

[redstate_democrat]

3. Pots and Pans! Pots and Pans!

DENVER DENVER DENVER!

:rofl:

[blondeatlast]

4. Have any of them ever had sex with another person?

If one or two of them did, what happened to their partner's family pets the next day? Were they still around?

[Lisa0825]

5. My favorite quote from your link....

The t-shirts read: “I belong to a coalition of allegedly 2.5 million people and all I got was this EPIC FAIL.”

:rofl:

[cliffordu]

6. ROFL!!!

:rofl:

Ya can't make this shit up....

[polmaven]

7. Except they are

EXACTLY who PUMA are. Please, please understand. PUMA are NOT actually supporters of Senator Clinton. They are frauds...eanch and every one of the dozen or so there are of them!!!!!!

Oh, and "Bring your posts and pans ...ladies"...? Didn't you say there were men there too?

[monomach]

13. Judging from the pictures...

It's at least 90% old white women. "Lotsa ladies and a couple of guys" just doesn't roll off the tongue.

[polmaven]

21. Well sure, and

"bring your pots and pans, people<[/i>" is just so....I dunno...WORDY!

[iconicgnom]

15. Of course they're fake supporters. They're Limbaugh-Republicans.

Hillary's real supporters will show up in droves at the convention and blow the fakes into history.

[AllentownJake]

17. Pots and Pans is a primary DU reference

The loonies at hillaryclintonforum.net were going to plan a protest and bang pots and pans over Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann at the Today show in April. Like this event they hyped it up for days went to the today show 20 protesters were there and they got put in a protest corral 500 yards from the set and claimed 100s showed up.

A few of them added me to their signature line with nasty messages to me because we had a DU Hillaryclintonforum.net war. Ahh good times...good times.

[polmaven]

19. I understand where it originated.

It's still sexist. 'Course, so are many DUers.

[AllentownJake]

20. No its not

Because they are the one who brought up bringing pots and pans to bang. The irony of Hillary supporters banging pots and pans to protest sexism either didn't hit them or was part of the act. I was never sure.

[roseBudd]

23. I have actually been reading the PUMAPAC blog of Darraugh's for over a month...

They hate Obama with every ounce of their being. They tell themselves they are standing up for democracy without a hint of irony.

[vaberella]

25. That they do. The hate is palatable.

[roseBudd]

29. And Darraugh is masterful at fanning the flames

[polmaven]

28. And are you saying there are NO

Democrats who hate BOTH of the Clintons with every ounce of their beings? Some of them are still right here. I'm almost convinced that it was Bill and Hillary who were responsible for both WWI and WWII.

[roseBudd]

30. Not enough to actively seek to have a McCain victory in November.

[vaberella]

24. Some of them are. I've heard talk that there are very strong HRC supporters

from here who have moved to the PUMA side. I'm sure it's dominated by idiots. However, let's be real and admit that there are a few disillusioned PUMA people who ARE or WERE Dems. <---I think a few of them just won't vote rather than vote for McCain.

[polmaven]

27. Oh, well,

If you've "heard talk". who can possibly ARGUE with that kind of proof?

[roseBudd]

31. DU's own tombstoned susankh is a PUMA who went to the Panera Bread PUMA meetup in Cinti

[LowerManhattanite]

32. And there are a few on DU still, with names you'd recognize who are avowed PUMAs...

(as in calling themselves such on PUMA sites) who continue to post here, inflame, divide and wreck threads with invective.

They've cut down on posting to lessen the odds of a tombstone, but when they DO come out, it's evident what the agenda is.

[smoogatz]

8. PUMA is totally fake.

All the money's coming from rightwing donors, guaranteed. It's a juvenile attempt to ratfuck the Democratic convention, and it's going nowhere.

[Arnold Judas Rimmer]

9. DLC'ers, LaDouchies, Big Pharma lobbyists, and CIA black ops thugs

Democrats My Ass :grr:

[donco6]

10. YOU'VE GOT TO READ THIS LINK!

Funniest thing I've seen all week.

It's PUMAwesome!

[Political Tiger]

11. What'd a bunch of DUPES!

But it is pretty darn funny!

[Cooley Hurd]

12. Add some port-a-potties and that could be a freeper meetup!

:spray:

[Skidmore]

14. A blast from the past. Look at the URL for the screen shot referred

to in the body of that article....

[Prophet 451]

16. They're fuckwits

One thing I've noticed about the PUMA idiots: They're not really pro-Hillary, they just really, really hate Obama.

[AZBlue]

18. That is one of the FUNNIEST things I've seen in a long time.

Thanks for the post - I needed a good laugh!

[Undercurrent]

22. Hilarious and

rather pathetic, actually.

This is all a media/repug manufactured "big" deal. In fact it's just a tiny bark, with absolutely no bite. HuffPro's Sam Stein covered it pretty well in this article:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x6641128

Anyway, thanks for the post. I nearly wet my pants with laughter.

[CitizenLeft]

26. I recognize that freak who was on Hardball the other night...

The redhead. She's in one of the last photos, in a gray t-shirt. Hardcore, bitter, nonsensical. She sounded like a lunatic.

[LowerManhattanite]

33. What a sad joke these “people” are...

...like a real-life “Waiting For Guffman” unspooling cringe-ingly before our eyes.

Gak.

[barack the house]

34. To make clear the poster is talking of PUMA only in the pots and pans reference.

[janx]

35. Is this supposed to be a national conference?! n/t

[janx]

36. kick

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

37. They'll get the same numbers that Freeper

demonstrations get. The porta-potties will outnumber the actual people.
