Remember when Frodo Baggins tossed the ring of power into the flames of Mt. Doom? That is what Niall Ferguson did when he wrote the Newsweek cover story, "Hit The Road, Barack." The hysterical reaction of the DUmmies and KOmmies to that Newsweek cover reminds me of the Eye of Sauron as it began tumpling down. The Armies of Sauron still haven't been destroyed. For that we have to wait until November but in the meantime it is FUn to observe the disorientation of the tumbling DUmmies and KOmmies. So upset were the DUmmies by that Newsweek cover that they have not one but MANY threads on this topic including Newsweek Cover-- WTF? and Newsweek goes negative on Obama: 'Hit The Road, Barack'. Also going berserk are the KOmmies as you can see in Newsweek Magazine Needs to Be Put out of Business Permanently. So let us now watch the DUmmies and KOmmies both go berserk in Bolsevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, noting that if Peter Jackson had cast James Carville as the Gollum no CGI effects would have been needed for that character, is in the [barackets]:
Newsweek Cover-- WTF?
[A DUmmie shocked when he discovered it wasn't a National Review cover.]
Someone tell me this tripe is a spoof. Is it April Fool's Day already??
[Your next April Fools date will arrive on Nov. 6. And now on to the other outraged DUmmies.]
There is a reason Newsweek was sold for a dollar.
[Because the seller didn't have change for a quarter.]
what i need to know a f*ckin' limey who knows nothing about America telling us we need to change presidents. FU
[Million of Americans are no limeys and they are telling you the same thing.]
can the DOJ ban the cover. Stop the circulation as its not honest
[Mr. First Amendment giving vent to his inner totalitarian.]
Can the DOJ do that?
[Of course as long as it's the Holder DOJ. First Amendment, Second Amendment are no barriers to them.]
Ban them or fine them
[The "libertarian" DUmmies favor merely fining them.]
wouldn't the Fairness Doctrine be something that might apply in this case?
[Of course since we all know that not only wasn't the Fairness Doctrine not repealed about 25 years ago but Newsweek is delivered over the airwaves.]
There are trolls on DU?
[Not Indiana Green. Indiana Green is NOT a LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!! Got that?]
we might lose because of a lie!
[Take two enemas and see the shrink in the morning.]
Niall Ferguson is an atheist
[Whew! What a relief. I thought he was either a heretic Wiccan or a goddess Gaia fundy. ...And now on to the other DUmmie thread, Newsweek goes negative on Obama: 'Hit The Road, Barack'.]
Newsweek goes negative on Obama: 'Hit The Road, Barack'
[And DON'T ever come back, come back, come back.]
Niall Ferguson's piece is on the Newsweek cover
[Don't look at it directly without a protective dark lens.]
F*cking disrespectful! Who is this piece of shit writing this pile of garbage? Arrrrrgh! I think I've had my fill of outrage for the next month - and that was just from crap I've read in the past hour. F*ck Akins and f*ck Ferguson.
[Arrrrrgh! Disrepectful. Mongo no like!]
It's also somewhat disrespectful to refer to the President by his first name on the cover.
[This from the same DUmmies that called Bush "Chimpus Khan." And now over to the KOmmie THREAD... ]
Newsweek Magazine Needs to Be Put out of Business Permanently
[For speaking truthful hurtful things.]
What is worse, Newsweek shamelessly promotes this right-wing smear effort as a substantive analysis, while urging Twitter followers to use a disrespectful hashtag when discussing this piece.
Want to discuss this week's cover story? Use the hashtag #HitTheRoadBarack--just as it appears on the cover.
[Arrrrrgh! Mongo no like Twitter hashtag!]
I guess Newsweek has been paid a nice sum by the Kochs, SuperPACs, Roves, RMoney, etc., so that they feel that losing a few hundred thousand of you people as subscribers won't hurt them. Regardless, this magazine is just extremely disgraceful and disrespectful. Newsweek does not not deserve to be patronized by anyone who is supportive of or plans to vote for this President in November.
[Arrrrrgh! Mongo no patronize Newsweek! ...And now on to the other KOmmies...]
no way that belongs on the front page. Its opinion not journalism.
[Except when Newsweek called Obama's critics DUmb on the cover. Then it was journalism according to you.]
Looks like Newsweek is crying out for attention.
[Looks like KOmmies are just crying.]
I find it an interesting (but horrifying) view into the leftist-lib mindset that whenever any rag, lib or conservative, has articles the leftists don’t like, significant numbers of the lefties favor banning rather than just boycotting the offending publication. Here some of the nuts actually suggest that a privately-owned publication be banned for offending Fearless Leader. I’ll bet these people would give Stalin a run for his money for the title of World’s Most Oppressive Dictator.
Notice how opinions no longer equal facts to the left when it's their ox being gored.
If honesty was a requirement in this race then Obama wouldn't have any of the campaign issues he does now.
I have to laugh when I hear libs whine about the “disrespect” being shown to Obumble. At least once a week the New York Daily News has a letter to the editor on this same subject. It’s always the same complaint: “Never before has a president been treated so badly! All the white presidents before him were treated with respect!” Were these people asleep during the Bush years? My guess is that they were gleefully forwarding those photos that showed Bush morphing into a chimp.
Then when the DOJ is Republican can we ban almost every fricking MSM publication out there? These people are morons.
You know what I mean...
Ok, let me give you a hint... cough... me mE ME
Hit the Road Barack
and doncha come back
no more no more no more no more!
Take it away Charles!
You forgot ‘President Urkel’
PJ uses several Alex Karras references today!
Go Lions!
A RAT President has gotta suck really bad when Newsweak says he needs to go.
