Ridiculous Right Wing Nontroversy of the Day

Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government blog is having a cow about some ornaments on the White House Christmas tree, touching all the right wing hot buttons — commies, gays, and Obama’s “arrogance” — and evoking the desired Pavlovian response: EXCLUSIVE: Transvestites, Mao And Obama Ornaments Decorate White House Christmas Tree.

The facts: the Obamas sent over 800 ornaments left over from previous administrations to local community groups, and asked them to decorate the ornaments to pay tribute to a favorite local landmark.

The most horrific of these Christmas ornaments, according to Big Government:

Gahh! It’s a commie on the White House Christmas tree! Gahhh! [run around screaming]

Well, actually, it’s an Andy Warhol print, but if you really want to run around screaming, don’t let me stop you.

UPDATE at 12/23/09 12:06:36 pm:

Last week Jon Stewart had a segment on the Obama administration’s evil indoctrination of schoolchildren into mindless commie Christmas ornament worker units. But not even Stewart could foresee the true horror that was to come. And now a Warhol print is hanging on the White House Christmas tree, to America’s everlasting shame.

UPDATE at 12/23/09 1:12:24 pm:

For the commenters at Hot Air, this is cause for a Christmas ornament revolution, or for Obama to be thrown in prison in leg irons, whichever comes first. You can’t make up silliness like this:

I am waaaaaay past tired of this Il Duce wannabe pissing on EVERYTHING American.

FUCK Obama.

At the moment I do NOT have a President.

2010 we need to take back the country through the ballot box…otherwise in 2011 we just need to take back the country.

Keep pushing Obama. I hope to see you in an orange jumpsuit and leggings by Christmas 2010.

UPDATE at 12/23/09 1:16:04 pm:

And in the comments at Big Government, they’re calling for Barack Obama to be executed:

Raul · 14 minutes ago

We can’t wait until 2012 to get rid of this comunist bastard of Hussain Obama. The people of the United States must revolt, and demand that this low life, President be impeached and tried for treason agaisnt this great nation of ours. Mao Tse Tung would have allready placed him before a firing squad. A fate he deserves, but that we are too civilized to impose upon this bastard.

 Frank says:

The essence of Christianity is told us in the Garden of Eden history. The fruit that was forbidden was on the tree of knowledge. The subtext is, All the suffering you have is because you wanted to find out what was going on. You could be in the Garden of Eden if you had just kept your mouth shut and hadn't asked any questions. -- Playboy Interview, April 1993
