Conservatives freak out over ‘pajama boy’
MSNBC ^ | December 19, 2013 | Adam Serwer

Posted on 12/29/2013 8:00:22 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Conservatives are in a tizzy over a seemingly innocuous Obamacare ad from Organizing for Action featuring a young man in pajamas.

He’s “a metrosexual hipster in a plaid onesie” scowled National Review’s Charles Cooke, a “vaguely androgynous, student-glasses-wearing, Williamsburg hipster.” He’s also “carefully ambi-racial.”

Pajama boy can’t even fight, Cooke’s colleague, Jim Geraghty, surmises. “My money is on the guy from Big Bang Theory once they throw down in a slap fight,” writes Geraghty, a grown man calling someone else a child as he imagines a fight between two fictional characters.

“An insufferable man-child,” writes Rich Lowry at Politico, who “might be glad to pay more for his health insurance to include maternity benefits he doesn’t need as a blow against gender stereotyping.” What kind of man thinks women shouldn’t have to pay more for health insurance because of their ladyparts anyway?

How could the sight of an earnest twenty something in pajamas drive so many dashing specimens of unassailable masculinity to complete panic? The paradox of our gender enforcers that they never sound more terrified than when addressing a person who doesn’t fit their standards. It’s an abject terror that masquerades as courage, relying on the reader not to know the difference. Pajama Boy is both a weak, effeminate symbol to be mocked, and the unstoppable 200-foot tall Kaiju wrecking their shining city on a hill....

The first thing that struck me about “pajama boy” was that “s*** eatin” smirk that he has. It’s the same smirk liberals I know show me when they correct some ignorant idea I have.

I once knew about a gay pub in England called “The Tool Shed”. I kid you not.

All Of those Obamacare ads come across as parody to me, Pajamaboy was just the most bizarre of them.

Yes, he's making that face they make right after they ask, "Did you learn that from listening to Rush Limbaugh?"

Because in their mind, you're supposed to get all your hard news and opinion from Jon Stewart and Mo Dowd.

Pajama Boy and Flo, the dumpy insurance broad, are what the homo lefty ad agencies think Americans should look like.

Seriously? What IS it with the “geeks with a grudge”? Gack!

I’m sure he was RELENTLESSLY taunted as a kid and let it spill over into his life for lack of forgiveness (and GROWING THE F*CK UP). Then the world must suffer.

I.E.......”Incrediboy”.

The song ‘Freak Out’ was actually the sanitized version of ‘F*#k Off’. So MSNBC, ACA, and your effeminate Pajama Boy icon, F*#k Off!

This is true, if by “freaking out” he means laughing until you can’t breath with tears flowing down your cheeks!

Uh, no. Freaking out is what the left did when Phil called it like he sees it.

What we did is poked some mild fun at yet another mind-numbingly stupid example of how the Communist in Chief and his comrades are pissing away our tax dollars.

I’m not freaking out but I despise metrosexuals no matter what they wear. The real world is run by real men.
