The Most Disturbing Photo of the Day (To Me, Anyway)

[liberalmuse]

I found this on FluffPo:



And here's the caption:
Demonstrators take photos of an Obama sign placed under droppings from a police horse.

These are grown men. Think about that for just a sec. This is the mentality we are dealing with.

[polichick]

1. Sick frightened little people. nt

[roguevalley]

87. my uncle vern would have been the ringleader there if he had been present.

that is the bane of my life. I love my aunt but loathe my uncle and I have to have him around to be with her. SIGH!

[tekisui]

2. They are pot-bellied morans.

They don't worry me. Pathetic hate-filled losers is what they are, but I don't see them as a threat.

[liberalmuse]

4. It's like Beavis and Butthead became real.

"Looky here! Git yer cameras out. I done put my Obama sign under some horse shit. Huh huh huh. Huh huh." Oh my god.

[RKP5637]

22. EXCELLENT!!! ABSOLUTELY TRUE!!!

That hit the nail right on the head!!!

[Pangolin2]

27. I figured somebody said "look, a dick" and they all looked down thinking they might see their own

for the first time in years...

[Rude Dog]

46. OH come on...

B&B at least had an occasional thought cross their minds.

[vademocrat]

3. Sadly, I work with men who would do this...

And yes, they are emotionally about eight years old...

[Faygo Kid]

5. They want to kill him.

This is no joke. These people have been brainwashed for 20 years by Rush and his progeny to kill.

[Medusa]

56. I believe so too

and it terrifies me.

[NNadir]

67. I, for one, worry a lot about the President's safety. These people are nuts.

[gauguin57]

6. When their insurance companies cancel them because of their BMI ...

... I hope they don't even THINK of coming crying to us to help them out. They can pay for their own fucking Lipitor.

As long as they feel the way they do (and scream about it), that is.

[Joe the Liberal]

7. The only thing missing in this pic is the white sheets and hoods.....

All that horse shit on the ground has more class than all them combined.

[tosh]

8. I see your point, but that to me is a photo of

a bunch of males with very large beer-guts engaged in some absurd sophomoric behavior.

Nothing more.

[nc4bo]

9. Imagine the IQ of people THAT fascinated with horseshit. Babies are fascinated with it too.

Actions speak louder than words in this case.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

10. "They were apparently unaware they were standing in the middle of the highway,

so fascinated were they by the objects they were studying."

[Tangerine LaBamba]

11. That's the one that got me, too -

in fact, I just posted about it elsewhere on DU.

Those grown men find horseshit incredibly witty.

Did you ever realize - I didn't, and I remember the racial world of the fifties and sixties - that racism and bigotry was so full-blown in our country?

That the beautiful and sweeping election of President Obama would unleash what is apparently a deeply-held and deeply-hidden wave of hatred that has been festering for lifetimes inside these poor souls?

Those adults, those grown men with their cameras, think a pile of horseshit is the height of "clever" and they're so proud of themselves, as proud of if they'd made that mess themselves.

(And, of course, it would never occur to them that the Park Police, or the DC workers who are going to clean up that mess, are all paid for by the government. That fact is too complex for them to handle. They can handle horseshit. That's about their limit.)

I find it very disturbing and terribly embarrassing for America.

No wonder the rest of the world laughs at us. Fortunately, they also know that yahoos like those are in the vast minority, which is a relief...........................................................

[lame54]

12. don't blame it on the horse...

that's the fallout from their conversation

[LLStarks]

13. That's a lot of shit for a single horse... nt

[jberryhill]

82. These people bring their own supply /nt

[Vickers]

14. Oops! Looks like their brains are leaking out.

[nc4bo]

16. LOL! nt

[bluestateguy]

15. Couple of those guys look like they have not missed any trips to the buffet

THEY are the ones who are the drain on our health care system.

[Ilsa]

52. And a drain on the lunch buffets.

They are definitely getting their money's worth of all-you-can-eat. And they don't get that they will be needing some very expensive healthcare very soon.

[Trocadero]

17. each one of them has a beer belly bigger than the next

[malaise]

18. 30,000 - 70,000 - those are the official numbers

They don't fucking matter. They are the lunatic fringe.

Yes it speaks volumes about them but my real worry is that these assholes are parents spreading their hate to another generation or two. Fuck the Hatriots.
As another DUer pointed out you can't be pushing your confederate flag and screaming patriotism at the same time.

They are stupid ignorant people who will harm themselves.

[Ilsa]

54. Yes, thankfully, under 100,000. BBC has them at "tens of thousands." nt

[chollybocker]

19. Little do they realize that their taxes paid for that horseshit.

[Ghost in the Machine]

20. The guy in the red hat is saying "Where did BillyBob go? He was standing right here...

.. just a minute ago!"

[graywarrior]

21. Dangerous people who will shoot someone if they can get a laugh.

The same types that would drag a black man behind a truck.

[Canuckistanian]

23. And this is a source of amusement for them?

Good to know.

I guess they can be easily distracted by shiny objects as well.

[Ian David]

24. ...

"Duh huh. Duh huh. Hey, Beavis... it's doodie. Duh huh."

[omega minimo]

25. New caption: Lowest Common Defecators

[Odin2005]

59. LOL, good one!

[omega minimo]

65. Ah. math humor. Ah Ah.

But really, how low can you go?

[progressivebydesign]

26. Wow.. stupid white men. They need to lay off the beer and donuts. n/t

[queenjane]

28. These people will be voting next year, and in 2012

What scares the crap out of me? That fact. They're enraged, ignorant, mentally deranged, pissed as hell, and they will get their marching orders from Limbaugh, Beck, et al.

While democrats are devouring one another over Obama being too "moderate" and a "sellout", with many threatening never to bother voting again, this gang of lobotomized ignor-anuses (aka stupid assholes) will be swarming voting booths en masse. Probably while wearing Obama-as-Hitler tee shirts, spittle streaking from their mouths.

Those "gentlemen" playing with horseshit--pathetic and a bit amusing. The same guys electing our government? Put me in one of those "Saw" movies and I'll hack off my foot to get out of this country . . .

[nc4bo]

29. Enraged, ignorant, mentally deranged, pissed as hell and for now, a minority.

Our job is to keep it that way.

[Gwendolyn]

30. Notice how vertical stripes offset a round beer belly much better than horizontal ones.

Also, it's a bad idea to cinch a belt under a protruding beer belly as this too only accentuates its size.

[Parker CA]

34. Also, their collective damp basement stench seems to be offsetting what I'd

assume would be a pretty noxious pile of horse crap.

[Gwendolyn]

38. Horse poo actually smells kind of good. Just like barns in general do.

Horses are vegan so they don't produce the kind of noxious smells that oh, living in basements and eating more than your share of big macs swilled down with beer will.

If someone were to open their craniums, I fear that's where the worst noxiousness would emanate from.

[Pangolin2]

42. What a relief, I figured nobody else thought horsepoo actually had an inoffensive aroma

When I was a kid, I hung out with horses fairly often and rode them in parades, roped a few calves and such.
Never did think their crap stank, really.

[Gwendolyn]

43. Lol, no you're not alone!

Spent time around horses too, and to this day whenever I get near a barn, I inhale deeply.

[demodonkey]

49. Yes, good smell and good fertilizer.

Maybe dumping some horse manure on Obama's picture will actually be a GOOD thing as in our side GROWS even further!

[WePurrsevere]

62. Brings back wonderful memories for me...

walking into a barn and smelling the mix of horse manure, hay and leather. It's a good sort of earthy smell.. one I still hope to enjoy in my own barn someday.

OTOH.. we live in dairy cow country and sometimes they let the collection tanks and honey wagons sit a bit to long in the hot sun... now that's enough to make your eyes water.

[stevedeshazer]

41. Guys like that should belt up north of the equator.

Otherwise it just becomes your tool shed.

[Texasgal]

31. wow.

That's just downright fucking nasty.

[pkdu]

32. I guess Glenn's head exploded......

?

[tosh]

68. ...

[Quasimodem]

33. Putting the sign under it was not very bright . . .

. . . but you can't blame them for taking photographs.

After all, they've bought so much horse-shit in their lives and never seen any results.

This must be a teabagger's dream come true.

[Liberal_in_LA]

35. ewwww

[SalmonChantedEvening]

36. Nine horse's asses. What else would be in the street?

[HughMoran]

37. degenerate teenagers don't even do stuff this juvenile

Is this all they got - poopy jokes?

[Deja Q]

39. Okay, seeing the gut on that photographer... I am so exercising for 2 hours tomorrow!

[DearAbby]

40. The one in the red cap is saying

to his buddy..."Aww hell bubba, the chunks of corn in my stool is bigger than that."
Guy with the water "Aye yep"

[spanone]

44. classy fucks, ain't they...racist pigs

[Orsino]

45. In kindergarten, they flicked boogers.

Their mamas would be proud.

[rbrnmw]

47. the horseshit is above them as far as worth goes

racist brainless hatriots

[Berry Cool]

48. OK, so these guys are jackasses, but why all the comments about their weight?

I know a lot of them are regular potbellied pigs, but be honest. Would their attitude be any more attractive if they were all svelte and slender?

Is everyone on our side expected to be slim?

I don't get why the comments on the asininity of people like this always have to extend into their being not just asinine, but FAT and asinine. As if they'd be any better people were they skinny.

They're jerks, plain and simple. Their weight didn't make them so. Nor are they fat because they're racist idiots. So, why the need to comment on it? It only makes us sound like them.

[Ms. Toad]

75. I was having similar thoughts.

Particularly having just seen the local premier of Coal Country last and having a brief opportunity after the movie to listen to the very intelligent, articulate, but not skinny, Elisa Young (featured in the movie). http://coalcountry.wordpress.com/2009/07/13/from-elisa-... /

Good thing she's on "our" side. Otherwise nothing she said would have been worth listening to because of the body it emanated from. (Just in case it's not obvious: )

[wickerwoman]

83. Well, if you're rallying against universal health care

it's probably better not to be a walking, talking example of why it's so desperately needed.

It's yet another example of their inability to see beyond their own immediate self-satisfaction to the fact that any day now they could lose their jobs, develop diabetes and end up bankrupted and rationing insulin they can't afford against the advice of their doctors.

I don't disagree with them because they're fat. I think it's ironic, given what they drove all the way to D.C. to protest against.

[jn2375]

50. sign was "Bury Obamacare with Kennedy"

talkingpointsmemo has the picture

[dixiegrrrrl]

61. pic here:

[TK421]

51. Caption: Beck was here

[-..__...]

53. Hmmmm, people who live in glass houses...

shouldn't throw poo...





http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

More...

[rbrnmw]

55. oh joy a freeper

[-..__...]

58. Is that the best you can do?

I mean... c'mon.

Explain how childish giddiness over scatological references as a form of protest by one side, is any less childish when conducted by the other side?

[orpupilofnature57]

66. Scatological? Is that like , Super cadgealistic exbeal idotiuos??

That has to do with Poop ,When did you ever see a democrat throw sh*t like that?

[Arugula Latte]

77. Oh, come on.

The poster isn't a freeper. I was going to post the same photo Bush-on-poop photo, because that's what I immediately thought of when I saw the OP.

[latebloomer]

71. I was just remembering that

and, BTW, I quite enjoyed it- Sent away for some of those little flags but never actually planted one.

[NoSheep]

84. In my glass house, Bush was a thief and a liar, deserving of having had his face in a pile of shit.

[Hansel]

86. Yes, because that compares to a sh*t "joke" about a man who just died

Degradation of the dead right up there with saying Bush is in a pile of shit.

Almost exactly the same. Not.

[orpupilofnature57]

57. Anything to Demean this man and what he represents ,

[maxpower]

60. Juvenile

My mother and father are freepers. It breaks my heart. I love my mother to death. My father has always been a selfish typical republican. It breaks my heart.

[ShadowLiberal]

63. When they watch professional proganda like Glenn Beck what do you expect

Seriously, tonight I was walking by where my dad was watching Fox, and I happened to see a little bit of some videos Beck was showing on his show. And some of them started to remind me of a Hitler propaganda video we saw in school once, it was just so similar in what techniques they were using to brainwash people.

[bridgit]

64. Ignorant Crap-heads! They look like they're thinking it's Shinola

Men? Grown men? More like fully grow'd up simpletons

[sea_dream]

69. Everyone of them has a larger waist size than IQ

"Hey, Chester Jo, take out your picture taking machine and get some shots for the folks back in Idiotville."

[mentalsolstice]

70. The joke is on them

It's not an Obama sign...it's the U.S. Constitution and Bu$h's droppings on top of it.

[1Hippiechick]

72. And I counter with this....

[BB1]

73. They've got guts.

I'm series, they all have hugh guts.

[JBoy]

74. Food pornographers. They're people used to being fed shit and eating it up.

[kim the waitress]

76. What do they have in common? They (save for the woman in the foreground)

are men, middle-aged, beer bellies, and WHITE. Scared and not able to express themselves in a mature way and must do so with this juvenile display. I feel sorry for them.

[dem mba]

78. you unbelievable hypocrites

not you specifically OP, but damn DU. how quickly we forget.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

AND

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

look at all the compliments on there.

[Window]

79. These are some sick mofos. "Bury Obamacare with Kennedy."

That was another one that turned my stomach. It literally made me cry after looking at all the disgusting signs yesterday. Since the more so-called "responsible" Republicans are not speaking up against all of this
overt racism and blatant disrespect to President Obama, the Democrats and 'we the people' need to speak up, march or do something.

[pnorman]

80. "We" did about the same with Bush a few years back! Lighten up!

We could download images from the internet of Bush. Printed out and affixed to toothpicks or something, they could then be "planted" in horse droppings.

There are GENUINE reasons for OUTRAGE about those Teabaggers, but NOT this one

pnorman
On edit: I see where poster #53 got it right! (Saved me the trouble of Googling for it!) Also, they HATE to be referred to as "Teabaggers", although that's the term they used before "wising up"! Keep calling them that! Their tiny heads will EXPLODE! Guaranteed!

[sabrina 1]

81. All I see are a bunch of not-to-bright looking guys

taking a photo of horse-shit! Seems appropriate to me. They could use it as a symbol for their movement.

[BlooInBloo]

85. What a lovely group of certainly-not-racist white folks.

[Rex]

88. Who let Bobby out of the trailer?

Look he is being cute around strange, angry white men. They love that shit. Funny stuff that horse doodoo. Total air wasters.

[Turborama]

89. What makes it much worse is that it looks about the same size and is the same color as this>>>>

[Quantess]

90. Meh, that's pretty harmless.

If it were a Bush Cheney sign underneath the road apples, I might want a photo, too.
