Some county official out in Nebraska was having a little FUn with a picture of Dear Leader puffing a cigarette, and now the HUffies are in a HUff about it! Mad over a pic of Obama lightin' up? Lighten up! Read about it here in this THREAD, "Obama Cigarette Portrait To Be Replaced With Official Portrait At Nebraska's Adams County Courthouse."
It's the HUffies vs. the HUskers in the Tobacco Bowl! The HUffie smoke rings are in Bolshevik Red, while the commentary of your humble guest correspondent, Charles Henrickson, a native of the city of Chicago who lived for four years in rural Nebraska, is in the [Barackets]:
Obama Cigarette Portrait To Be Replaced With Official Portrait At Nebraska's Adams County Courthouse
[The Republic is saved!]
The portrait will hang in a spot that had held a framed black-and-white image depicting the President with a cigarette hanging from his mouth. That photo -- a notorious fake -- drew a complaint from a county official who found it disrespectful.
["A notorious fake"--the picture or the president?]
white people acting like themselves.
[It was a black-and white image of a black-and-white guy acting like himself.]
What a disrespectful racist move to show a sitting president with an open collar smoking a cigarette.
[Only black people open their collars and smoke cigarettes.]
They are disrespecting the first Black President of the United States. If they had done this to Clinton and Bush then it wouldn't be a problem.
[Barry Half-White should be immune from disrespect.]
This President has been disrespected ad infinitum.
[Awwww! Must not diswespect widdle Bawwy! . . . Although, somehow, I missed this concern for respect when it came to Obama's predecessor.]
when this person hung this photo "as a Joke" where is the hew and cry of the people of Nebraska. . . .
[Where is the HUGH?!]
They hang up a picture of our first black sitting president making him look like a street punk. . . .
[At least they didn't use this one:]
Barry Soetoro, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Joints
But this is something he struggles with, at least from what I have read, he has tried to quit.
[I wish he WOULD quit! . . . Oh, you were talking about SMOKING! Never mind.]
If you were trying to quit, would you like these reminders of your vice?
[Now that you mention his Vice, I'm not sure I want him to quit!]
but he still looks hot.
[Is that you, benburch?]
You denigrate true racism when you make ridiculous claims like this.
[Did you say "DENIGRATE"?? THAT'S RACIST!!]
Only those that believe another race is inferior find justification to belittle their own duly-elected President that way.
[Let's see, I seem to recall a little belittling with the previous guy. . . .]
Why are they doing this to the only African American President?
[I seriously question that description of Obama! I mean, the "American" part.]
If I'm not mistaken, the cigarette is photoshopped.
[No, the cigarette is real. It's Obama that's photoshopped.]
I can't believe citizen in HASTINGS, Neb will let this go on for 18 months without doing anything!
[Hastings is not hasty.]
These are the instances where the racists were caught red handed! There may be numerous instances that's going on but not caught yet. For every cockroach you see, there's 1000's hiding unnoticed.
[That picture of young Barry . . . I think he had a bunch of roaches hiding.]
They would not do this to a lily white prez.
[Imagine anyone calling a WHITE president something disrespectful . . . oh, like, "Chimpy" or something like that. Never would happen.]
This is the ongoing signs of disrespect that too many mental deficients in this country believe it is okay to heap on Obama because of his race and color.
[Look, we don't disrespect Obama because of his race and color. We disrespect him because of his socialism and incompetence!]
it is true that Obama should quit smoking. Healthcare for all in exchange for responsibility by all.
[No healthcare for you, Mr. Smoke-Too-Much!]
If anyone deserves to smoke a cigarette - it's him.
[Well, he did just finish screwing America, that's true.]
He looks like he's in a 50s French film noir.
[Did you just say "NOIR"?? THAT'S RACIST!!]
Yes, there's an intelligent black man in the White House. . . .
[Where's he hiding?]
Some people don't like Obama because he is so damn intelligent, handsome and articulate. . . .
[You forgot "clean."]
Looks like another state I will avoid going to. So much for my tourist money.
[As one who lived in Nebraska for four years, I've got to admit, you won't be missing much!]
What a bunch of possum pie eatin' sister humpin' hillbully dirtbags.
[Have you ever eaten possum pie? Tastes like chicken!]
That's what the e-cigarette is all about... all the Nicotine you need and none of the harmful side effects.
[WARNING: Photoshopped Smoking Causes Long Laughter.]
Typical of inbred, uneducated, back-country, hicks.
[No ethnic stereotyping from the left, huh?]
OK, how about D. Cheney in pink thongs?
[Calm down, benburch!]
Actually it was a state that was inhabited mainly by Swedes.
[Hey, I resemble that remark!]
I really dont see anything wrong with the photo. I like it. But I am also a smoker and photo artist. I also drink Scotch (12 year old) and best French and Italian wines and ocasssionally, I switch hit for the other team from time to time and an I had had numerous affairs. Burn me atthe stakes.
[Well, you did say you enjoy smoking.]
I think they should photo shop his pic and show him hanging out with "Dean and Frank". . . .
[As Bammy Davis Jr.]
Republicans are anarchists
[Off with their heads!]
Republicans are antichrists.
[Off with their tails!]
You believe in Christ?
[Dead giveaway! Must be a LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]
DUmmie deity bill clinton had sex with an intern in the Oval Office, and now these guys are worried about the propriety of an open collar?
[As Bammy Davis Jr.]
THAT IS TOO FUNNY!!!!! I wonder if Paul Shanklin could do "Candyman" in his 0bama voice...
Nope. Since the DUmmies insist on bringing race into the discussion:
or
There's more note of Obama's race in just these excerpts than I've ever heard among Republicans I've known since Obama first became a national figure.
They talk about Tea Party members and race, endlessly at DU and MSNBC.
SOMEONE is obsessed with Obama's race, all right.
