-RetweetIdiotic Nutroots Scandal of the Day - Update: Now with Throbbing Obama!

Tue, Mar 4, 2008 at 1:56:33 pm PST

Yes, the Daily Kos Kooks are now accusing Hillary Clinton of “darkening” an image of Barack Obama that appears in a video posted at the Clinton site: Nutroots accuse Hillary of darkening footage of Obama to make him look “blacker”.

Here’s the Kos diary, with more than 800 comments from the super sleuths: Daily Kos: [updated] Hillary’s ad: debate footage doctored to make Obama blacker.

What I see in these pictures is the typical color alteration that happens from transferring and copying video segments, which also accounts for the aspect ratio changes; different equipment, different software, different video sources. The color isn’t darkened, it’s desaturated, and I doubt very much that it’s deliberate. They’re comparing colors from low resolution processed video, seen on a computer screen. The idiocy makes my head hurt.

Oh, brother.

It’s another nutroots mass delusion. But they’re so cute when they’re all worked up like that! No, wait... actually, they aren’t.

UPDATE at 3/4/08 2:12:21 pm:

I’m getting into the spirit of this thing and decided to help the Kos Kidz out, with one of my patented throbbing animated GIFs, revealing the nefarious Clintonian machine at work beyond a shadow of a doubt! Those racist bastards!

Would the subtext of this be that moonbats think making someone blacker is an insult?

Sounds like the hang-up is theirs, especially given the fact that 10 out of 10 Obama supporters list the fact that he is "black", if not number 1, then at least in the top 5 things they have to say good about him.

Wait a minute!
Liberals love blacks.
Whenever some black people go ''off the plantation,'' they are accused of being "Oreos," "Uncle Tom's" or (my personal favorite, remembering it in Ward Connerly's case) "not really black."
Obama is really 1/2 white.
He might be more if you can parse his Arab blood into the equation.
Why wouldn't a smart Hillary team player lighten the image of Obama?

The photo manipulator took away his "color". The KosKids got it all wrong!

55 Sizzlack  Tue, Mar 4, 2008 2:10:59pm

The Kossacks are too funny. They work themselves up into a frenzy over things like this, things that in the larger picture are of NO IMPORTANCE whatsoever. Their comments are classic, they act like this is some massive fraudulent campaign where heads need to roll. Its a frickin picture. Move along.

56 looking closely  Tue, Mar 4, 2008 2:11:08pm

Frankly, I'm not even sure which one of the two images is "darker".

I think the top one makes Obama look a little more jaundiced, while the bottom one is more suntanned.

Well, doesn't Obama himself want to be blacker ?
He practically disavows himself of his white heritage (his mother is white) and associates himsrelf with a virulently 'black values' promoting 'church' (even though he was abandoned by his black father early in his life) . If Single motherhood , drugs , Rap and gun violence count as 'Black Values' , you can stick them where the sun don't shine .

69 Silhouette  Tue, Mar 4, 2008 2:13:55pm

The media/moonbats/democrat base won't let Hillary get away with a single anti-Obama statement, even imaginary attacks like this. She mentions his plagerism, a valid hit, and is booed. She asks who dem voters want answering the phones, her or Obama, and her ads are mocked and attacked.

Clearly, the media are telling us Obama is off-limits to any attacks, unlike the rest of the candidates. A protected being. And this is the Dems. Just wait until McCain tries to run against him.

CMON... he's Grey

Pink. Obama is pink.

The Pink Tribe is all about feeling good: feeling good about yourself! Sexually, emotionally, artistically – nothing is off limits, nothing is forbidden, convention is fossilized insanity and everybody gets to do their own thing without regard to consequences, reality, or natural law. We all have our own reality – one small personal reality is called “science,” say – and we Make Our Own Luck and we Visualize Good Things and There Are No Coincidences and Everything Happens for a Reason and You Can Be Whatever You Want to Be and we all have Special Psychic Powers and if something Bad should happen it’s because Someone Bad Made It Happen. A Spell, perhaps.

The Pink Tribe motto, in fact, is the ultimate Zen Koan, the sound of one hand clapping: EVERYBODY IS SPECIAL.

Then, in the other corner, there is the Grey Tribe – the grey of reinforced concrete. This is a Tribe where emotion is repressed because Emotion Clouds Judgment. This is the world of Quadratic Equations and Stress Risers and Loads Torsional, Compressive and Tensile, a place where Reality Can Ruin Your Best Day, the place where Murphy mercilessly picks off the Weak and the Incompetent, where the Speed Limit is 186,282.36 miles per second, where every bridge has a Failure Load and levees come in 50 year, 100 year and 1000 Year Flood Flavors.

Well remember this is exactly what kos mentor joe stalin was very good at.

An old revolutionary walks across the Brooklyn Bridge one day, and he sees man of a similar age standing on the edge, about to jump.

He runs over and says: "Stop. Don't do it."
"Why shouldn't I?" he asked.
"Well, there's so much to live for!"
"I'm just depressed, I've been a Communist all my life and the revolution seems as far away as ever"
"You're a Communist?"
"Yeah, why?"
"I am as well! Did you originally join the Communist Party USA?"
"Yeah"
"Me too! Did you join the pro-Trotsky Communist League of America in 1928, which later merged with the American Workers Party to form the Workers Party of America in 1934?"
"Yeah"
"Spooky, Me too! After the WPA was expelled from the Socialist Party of America in 1936 did you then go on to join the Socialist Workers Party USA and the fourth international?"
"I did actually..."
"Me too! In the 1940 dispute did you side with Cannon or Shachtman?"
"Cannon."
"Me too! In 1962 did you join Robertson's opposition caucus, the Revolutionary Tendency?"
"Yep."
" Holly shit! And of course like me you were expelled and went on to join the International Communist League (Spartacist)"
"Well that goes without saying!"
"In 1985 did you join the International Bolshevik Tendency who claimed that the Sparts have degenerated into an 'obedience cult' "
"No way!"
"Nah, me neither. In 1998 did you join the Internationalist Group after the Permanent Revolution Faction were expelled from the ICL?"
"Yeah! I can't believe this! Maybe I won't..."
"Die counterrevolutionary scum!".

And he pushes him off the edge

Funny you should say that.

During the 2000 census, the US federal government asked people to identify their ancestry. From those responses, this map shows the largest percentage group, by county. (Plurality, not necessarily majority).

Note the large yellow swath centered around Tennessee of people who listed their race simply as "American". God Bless Them.

But the makers of the map couldn't stand people not separating themselves, so they added the helpful footnote that these "Americans" are really English, Irish, Scottish, French, and Welsh.

I caller on Rush made reference to Curious George while discussing Barak.

Yesterday I heard Obama in an interview talking about gay marriage. He is against it. He believes in civil unions for gays. Now, will the gay-rights advocates start slamming Obama for his homophobia?

No.
"Their side" must win, and sweat the details later.
Not that he told the truth, in any case.

I don't know about B. Hussein Obama, but have you ever seen Oprah on TV? They make her complexion 1/2 as black as it is in real life. She has done the Michael jackson "lighten up" for years. When you see her on video footage on one of the entertainment shows or some regular photograph she's twice as black as she appears on her show. Another person with a color complex.

re: #208 Dianna

Actually, Wellbutrin isn't an SSRI. According to Wiki, it is an atypical antidepressant that acts as a norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor. I also thought this was interesting:

The prescribing information recommends minimizing the use of alcohol, since in rare cases bupropion reduces alcohol tolerance, and because the excessive use of alcohol may lower the seizure threshold.[52] A small study conducted by GlaxoSmithKline indicated that bupropion (100 mg) may counteract the subjective effects of small doses of alcohol (16–32 mL, slightly less than 1–2 standard US drinks). The volunteers reported feeling more sober and clear-headed and less sedated. Bupropion also reduced the detrimental effect of alcohol on auditory vigilance. The combination of bupropion (100 mg) and two drinks of alcohol increased heart rate by six beats per minute, a statistically significant increase.[105]


Plus, it allegedly reverses the loss of libido caused by SSRIs and does not cause weight gain as SSRIs do. Alas, it doesn't help much with the 70 pounds I gained on Paxil several years ago, of which I've only lost 30.

You mean that they found another copy of it? I thought the Egyptian mother who had her kids bring back the Nag Hammadi library used it to start the fire to cook dinner. [Several were lost like that. Rather a shame.] Or perhaps he is just doing a in depth interpretation of the "Secret Gospel of Mark" [Link: en.wikipedia.org...]

I will note that it has been stated that the abbot said he removed the letter and just chucked it into the fire after all the uproar that Smith caused. He just wanted his abbey to be left alone. For this reason it has not been available for study. Your guess is as good as mine. However, there are parallels between it and Lazarus that might make it fit into the gospel as part of the chronology of Jesus.

It's extremely common in political ads to darken the image of the opponent or even simply to make such images black and white. I don't see how this is unusual, and I don't understand how video transferring necessarily leads to color degradation.

I'm sure meditation works for some people, but antidepressants work for me. As I understand the study, they aren't effective for people with mild depression. That just indicates to me that it's being prescribed for people who don't really need it. For them, meditation, talk therapy, or support from friends and family are probably a better choice. For me, when I'm off my meds -- you ever see the Incredible Hulk?

re: #279 So?

so does Michelle.

You mean the First Lady Of Gaffes?

After revealing she had never been "really proud of my country," Michelle Obama damns business as "the money-making industry." By contrast, she says, the Obamas are in "the helping industry." Bad omen.

Visiting a day-care center in Zanesville, Ohio, America's would-be first lady advised the assembled women not to "go into corporate America."

"Become teachers," she counseled. "Work for the community. Be social workers. Be a nurse. Those are the careers that we need, and we're encouraging our young people to do that. But if you make that choice, as we did, to move out of the moneymaking industry into the helping industry, then your salaries respond."

They don't even try to hide the fact that they're socialists that hate America.

Thats not true. He is mixing up the story of how Pharoah ordered the killing of male Hebrew children to slow Hebrew population growth (Exodus 1:22) and how Herod ordered the killing of male children in Bethlehem to eliminate the newborn King of the Jews that the wise men told him about.

Heya, Shug!

If you choose to respond to this fool's little rant, do it on your terms. Keep it clear and concise, and don't try to refute him line by line. Something along the lines of:

I read with interest Elahi's diatribe about Gazan atrocities. Even the Council on American-Islamic Relations, unindicted co-conspirator in the recent Holy Land Foundation terrorist financing trial, would be hard-pressed to write a better piece of propagandistic taquiyya. I join my fellow Americans in whole heartedly supporting the continued existence and defense of our democratic ally, Israel. If Elahi is truly concerned about Gazans' welfare, he should condemn Hamas for hiding behind women and children in order to attack innocent Israelis, and he should not hide behind hollow misappropriation of the Holocaust in his rhetorical defense of the regrettable collateral damage due to Hamas using human shields.

Something along those lines?

I am submitting my letter to the editor of the Detroit news and I would welcome feedback from my lizard friends

Dear Editor,

Mr. Ali Elahi states that Israel is threatening Gaza with a "Holocaust", then suggests that Israel has been slaughtering Palestinian Children for 60 years.
A cursory inspection of my History books suggests that Millions of Jews, and others were murdered in the Holocaust.
What there appears to be in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is an ongoing battle.
Israel has superior fire power and yet, they show unbelievable restraint in their response to daily rocket attacks from Palestinians ( who occasionally take a few moments away from killing each other to fire rockets randomly into Israel ) I find a huge lack of evidence to suggest a Holocaust has occurred or will occur.
Mr Ali Elahi would have us take sympathy on the Palestinians because they have historically have lacked the aiming skills to kill an adequate number of Israelis.
He urges Americans to ask Israel to stop defending its citizens against rocket attacks.

What Imam Ali Elahi fails to recognize is that if there were terrorist thugs in Royal Oak firing rockets into Troy, Birmingham, Madison Heights, etc, the response would not be so measured. Americans would be calling for the total annihilation of the thugs firing the rockets.
Mr Ali Elahi lacks a basic understanding of the American spirit when he asks other countries to do something that no American would tolerate.

I would urge all Citizens of Detroit to watch the translations of Palestinian television, ( widely available on the internet translated by MEMRI ) where a child named Saraa hosting a program for children, calls for the murder of all Israeli citizens and calls for Palestinian children to become suidice bombers.

"Israel has superior fire power and yet, they show unbelievable restraint in their response to daily rocket attacks from Palestinians ( who occasionally take a few moments away from killing each other to fire rockets randomly into Israel ) I find a huge lack of evidence to suggest a Palestinian Holocaust has occurred or will occur."

I have vitiliago. I'm white. It started about 5 years ago as a patch on the back of my hand. I now have white splotches all over my body. The worst is the spots on my face and arms, they seem even lighter than they normally would because I have had tanned skin in the past. I wear 50 SPF now a days, but the damage is done. On places like my legs, that seldom see the light of day, you almost can't tell.

It is not pleasant having to explain to people (even worse when they say, oh, like Michael Jackson?) why I look like a bleeding Dalmatian.

Not a fun disease, and it IS embarrassing and makes you feel like you have a neon light pointing out every fricking spot. It makes every other flaw you have seem magnified.

The answer from my doctor, wear long sleeves...I changed doctors. The new one at least empathizes, even though he can't help.

What did the statement Israeli Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilnai said about a bigger shoah mean?
He said himself it meant a disaster...not The Holocaust.
So, Imam Mohammad Ali Elahi is exaggerating a Jewish term most people have no idea about.
As to Israeli Interior Minister Meir Sheetrit's statement about wiping out an entire neighborhood in Gaza, the Israeli's are trying to get an international court to allow them to remove all the human shields from where kassam rockets are launched in one area in Gaza.
[Link: www.haaretz.com...]

Hamas WANTS human shields because they lead to PR events.
He is so concerned about ambulances, yet Hamas was shown by drones to be using these vehicles to deliver soldiers and rockets.
[Link: www.debka.com...]

It is Hamas that is keeping goods and services from their people by continuing their rocket barrages into Israel.
Also Hamas hoards things for their own, the rest of the people of Gaza are simply human shields and PR opportunities.

If Israel's prisons are so bad why is it that children and mates choose to go live in them along with a convicted family member rather than stay in Gaza with other relatives?

As families struggle with spiralling violence and crippling poverty in the West Bank and Gaza, a growing number are using a new tactic to feed and shelter their children: sending them to an Israeli jail. Hundreds of parents are encouraging their offspring to get arrested for petty crimes, such as carrying a knife or verbal harassment, because life in jail is seen as better than life at home.
Children go willingly into Israeli custody because prison provides them a temporary escape from the endless boredom and harsh violence of life in the occupied territories.
Their parents, in turn, receive financial compensation for their hardship from the Palestinian Authority, money that often amounts to their only income.


[Link: www.timesonline.co.uk...]
Actually, due to the rise of the blogoshpere Israel is GAINING in sympathy, not losing it.
It is the palestinian leadership who are losing sympathy.
And they know it.
And this imam knows it.
Egypt doesn't want them.
Other Arab nations don't help them much.
The rest of the world is tired of the lies and PR games.
Hamas wants to fight until Israel is no more.
They just want a hudna (temporary ceasefire) so they can re-arm and reorganize.
Their leadership is in hiding.
Israel's are not.

Is this any help, Shrug?

I am submitting my letter to the editor of the Detroit news and I would welcome feedback from my lizard friends

Dear Editor,

Mr. Ali Elahi states that Israel is threatening Gaza with a "Holocaust,", then suggests that Israel has been slaughtering Palestinian Cchildren for 60 years. A cursory inspection of my History books suggests that Millions of Jews, and others were murdered in the Holocaust. What there appears to be in t The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is an ongoing battle.

Israel has superior fire power, and yet, they it shows unbelievable restraint in their its response to daily rocket attacks from Palestinians ( who occasionally take a few moments away from killing each other to fire rockets randomly into Israel ). I find a huge lack of evidence to suggest a Holocaust has occurred or will occur.

Mr Ali Elahi would have us take sympathy on the Palestinians because they have historically have lacked the aiming skills to kill an adequate number of Israelis. He urges Americans to ask Israel to stop defending its citizens against rocket attacks.

What Imam Ali Elahi fails to recognize is that if there were terrorist thugs in Royal Oak firing rockets into Troy, Birmingham, Madison Heights, etc, the response would not be so measured. Americans would be calling for the total annihilation of the thugs firing the rockets. Mr Ali Elahi lacks a basic understanding of the American spirit when he asks other countries to do something that no American would tolerate.

I would urge all Ccitizens of Detroit to watch the translations of Palestinian television, (widely available on the internet translated by MEMRI), where a child named Saraa, hosting a program for children, calls for the murder of all Israeli citizens and calls for Palestinian children to become suidice bombers.

These people worship death and you cannot negotiate peace with people who worship death.

Here you go.

Indeed, as I learned by following an LGF link recently, Obama had only one Black great great grandparent, which isn't enough to qualify him as Black, according to the current laws. The other fifteen were caucasian. Seven were Arabs (Arabs are currently considered to be Caucasians), and eight were, well, Palefaces, or whatever they're supposed to be called.

That said, the blacker Obama looks on video, the more votes he'll get. The Clinton thugs would be foolish to emblacken him artificially.

Look, half the country already hates Hillary. That's good. But nobody hates Obama yet. Hillary is going to be the one to have to bloody him up politically because our side isn't going to do it.

I have vitiliago. I'm white. It started about 5 years ago as a patch on the back of my hand. I now have white splotches all over my body. The worst is the spots on my face and arms, they seem even lighter than they normally would because I have had tanned skin in the past. I wear 50 SPF now a days, but the damage is done. On places like my legs, that seldom see the light of day, you almost can't tell.

It is not pleasant having to explain to people (even worse when they say, oh, like Michael Jackson?) why I look like a bleeding Dalmatian.

Not a fun disease, and it IS embarrassing and makes you feel like you have a neon light pointing out every fricking spot. It makes every other flaw you have seem magnified.

The answer from my doctor, wear long sleeves...I changed doctors. The new one at least empathizes, even though he can't help.

Mr. Obama is 50% Caucasian, that from his mother. What those who want Mr. Obama to write history by becoming "America's first African-American president" ignore is that his father was ethnically Arabic, with only 1 relative ethnically African Negro - a maternal great-grandparent (Sen. Obama's great-great grandparent, thus the 6.25% ethnic contribution to the senator's ethnic composition.).

That means that Mr. Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side. He is 43.75% Arabic, and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side.

As you can see for yourself, Sen. Obama's African-American ethnic claim, when properly researched and documented, is a lie.

The question no one wants to answer - particularly Mr. Obama and his supporters, is, "Why do you think he has an Arabic name? Why does his father have an Arabic name? Why does every ancestor on his father's side have an Arabic name?"

If ThrObama was a bird, he'd be a yellow-bellied siskin, due to his cowardly stance on how he would disarm the US. To emphasize the comparison a bit more, he is a total bird-brain and will crap all over us whenever he gets the chance.

This ThrObama thread reminds me of an old, beloved poster from the early days of LGF, the one. the only, the openly gay Throbert McGee (and his amazingly intelligent rat! Rugby, I think was the name of the rat.). He woulda made some of y'all crazy with some of his more over-the-top gay comments, but he was a good guy to have around.

Racial history of the USA: when slavers forced themselves upon female slaves, the child was considered black for two reasons: to get a new slave gratis and to attempt to keep the white race "pure." After slavery was abolished, the latter reason/reasoning still held sway for roughly another 100 years. That's what that Jim Crow and lynching business was about.

For their part, black people accepted that not every person considered to be black was visibly so.
