Get Me More White People

Posted by TRO on April 8, 2008

Every time I promise myself I am going to take a break from posting about Barack Hussein Obama, I end up breaking it because of stuff like this.

While the crowd was indeed diverse, some students at the event questioned the practices of Mrs. Obama’s event coordinators, who handpicked the crowd sitting behind Mrs. Obama. The Tartan’s correspondents observed one event coordinator say to another, “Get me more white people, we need more white people.” To an Asian girl sitting in the back row, one coordinator said, “We’re moving you, sorry. It’s going to look so pretty, though.”

“I didn’t know they would say, ‘We need a white person here,’ ” said attendee and senior psychology major Shayna Watson, who sat in the crowd behind Mrs. Obama. “I understood they would want a show of diversity, but to pick up people and to reseat them, I didn’t know it would be so outright.”

Yes, but were they “typical white people?”

For a couple who claim they want to “transcend” race, they sure do keep bringing it up - and in the worst possible ways, too.

QUICK UPDATE:

Forget transcending race, one wonders if Michelle Obama can just stop being such a crybaby.

Disgusting

Posted by TRO on April 8, 2008

Only a man who has a profound ignorance of and, dare I say it, a deep-seated contempt for our military would say something like this.

“McCain was a fighter pilot, who dropped laser-guided missiles from 35,000 feet. He was long gone when they hit. What happened when they [the missiles] get to the ground? He doesn’t know. You have to care about the lives of people. McCain never gets into those issues.”

Senator Jay Rockefeller, Democrat, West Virginia, and Barack Hussen Obama supporter, appears to be that man.

He’s also not very bright. While laser-guided weapons were developed in the 1960s they weren’t used until very late in the Vietnam War. And that was really just a test. Desert Storm saw the first large-scale use of precision weapons. Weapons that are designed to reduce collateral damage and casualties by the way, thus flying in the face of that whole American pilots don’t care what they hit thing this putz has going on here.

Keep it up Dems. I simply cannot see attacking McCain, a man who served his country honorably and spent five fricken years in a hell-hole of a prison camp, in this way as a winning strategy in the general election.

UPDATE:

Ed Morrissey at Hot Air has more about this loser’s insulting comment.

UPDATE:

Some cool video of evil, uncaring USAF pilots in action. “Ohhh, Dude,” is right.

Now it’s back to the Officer’s Club for a gin and tonic and a round of golf. Evil, I tell ya. Evil.

UPDATE:

Rockefeller apologizes. That was quick. After Obama’s people called him up in a panic, no doubt.

Those Crazy, Fun-loving Japanese

Posted by TRO on April 8, 2008

You can’t make this kind of “not safe for work” stuff up, folks. More not safe for work photos here

Oh yes, I know that is a big pink penis statue up above and I apologize if it offends you, but for the life of me I couldn’t think of another picture to use. Just pretend it is a big pink mushroom if it makes you feel better.

Hat-tip to Ace.

1. I’m sorry Barack, but visiting your mom in Pakistan while on spring break is not foreign policy experience.

2. I hate to complain, but this seems more a money making scheme than a movement.

3. Schlitz beer is going back to their original recipe. Well, it couldn’t possibly be worse than the current recipe.

4. Democrats determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

5. Speaking of the war, the country remains split on the surge in Iraq. Along party lines. Surprise, surprise.
