5 universal gestures and symbols for Obama supporters
Oh, my. The Obama groupies have come up with their own special sign language to signal their religion to each other. Here is the worshipful new gesture that its creators want to spread across the country (”We want to see it everywhere, but more importantly we want this sign to take the world by storm”) and at the Democrat convention with the goal of presenting a “crowd of 75,000 people at Obama’s nomination speech holding their hands above their heads, fingers laced together in support of a new direction for this country, a renewed hope, and acceptance of responsibility for our future” (via US News and HA Headlines):
I’ve got five universal gestures and symbols that better reflect the state of the Obama campaign and its supporters:
And here’s a bonus gesture in light of Obama’s latest dissing yesterday of America. Perfect:
***
Instapundit chuckles.
Dan Riehl plumbs hidden meanings. Hah.
And reader Jim M. e-mails: “In American sign language, the sign for ‘asshole’ is the circle formed with one hand. The new Obama sign can mean only one thing: ‘Big Asshole.’ If the sign fits…”
Jim Hoft: Stolen from Star Trek.
Ron Rockstar fixes the Obama gesture. Change I believe in!

Caption for that last photo:
“Hey…somebody stole the other seven stars off this flag!”
Gee, when does the “Obama Youth” program begin? Are we going to start seeing DNC night rallies replete with logo banners and these creepy hand salutes?
That’s about how brainwashed and scary the followers of “The One” are.
Obama’s new “Mile High Salute?”
“And reader Jim M. e-mails: “In American sign language, the sign for ‘asshole’ is the circle formed with one hand. The new Obama sign can mean only one thing: ‘Big Asshole.’ If the sign fits…”
Incorrect. It’d be the sign for “circle” or “round” or even “spinning.” The correct sign language in ASL for “asshole” would be to form an “O” with one hand with fingers all together forming the “O” and your other hand with the index finger inserting partially into the hand with the “O” and make little circular motions. Think “Roto Rooter.”
Barack obama’s new nickname must be “Bend Over”.
So we’ll just “Bend Over” for “BO”,
huh?
A salute, eh?
What’s next? Cute little armbands with the Obama logo on them?
Oh, Now I remember that hand gesture…it is from an old Star Trek episode…”The Way To Obama”
Personally the Vulcan peace sign was better- you only made a fool out of oneself with just one hand…!
Wow, creepy. Anyone thinking about Germany in the 1930s? What’s next, a book burning?
Snarky.
I see Ian, Russ and I were thinking roughly the same thing.
I seriously doubt his followers would see anything wrong with Obama logo armbands, BTW.
Your problem is obvious was made in response to liberalism so, quite apropos.
An Obama logo Photoshoped on the tie would be a nice touch.
Or you can do it using the “ok” sign and insert finger…and then swirl it around.

Besides, I believe there are already those “O”bama t-shirts that have the big “O”…
http://media.threadless.com/product/190×136/667-view1.jpg
Now, that’s clear to everybody….learn a new sign today!
http://www.threadless.com/profile/304788/Smile4mee/blog/88706/That_means_something_in_Sign_Language
Be sure to swirl your finger inside the “O” part and not move it in and out of the “O”. That’s only appropriate when “O” becomes president would he be out to screw everybody.
So, have your two signs ready for the big “O”.
Oy!
So, what other symbolism from Triumph of the Will will we see at the convention? I’m not saying this as an ad hominem attack on Obama and his followers. Rather, if folks actually watch Triumph of the Will, they will see striking similarities in terms of communication themes, methods for capturing the imagination through romantic or pride-stirring images, focus on the youth, a lack of focus on systems, methods or policies, etc.
Here are a few lines. I’ll leave you to decide who said them.
1. “It is our total belief in ourselves, our hope for our youth, striding forward today, to be called on to finish the work which began…”
2. “We are who we have been waiting for…”
3. “The … people are happy in the knowledge that the divisions of the past have been replaced by a high standard leading the nation.”
Ooooo… someone’s getting banned….
So
asshoSteve456, are you brave enough to say that in real life?I see Steve456 is a brave one…coming on at 3 in the morning in hopes there’s no moderator reading…seriously, what kind of human says things like that? Is he that ‘frustrated’ that he has to fantasize about the ‘life’ of someone who he obviously despises?
Be proud, man. Be proud. Honestly, what did you intend to accomplish with this post? An English teacher of mine said once, “Profanity is a tool of the weak mind to convey an idea.” I suppose vulgarity and other ad hominems fall into the same category.
You haven’t got any to suck, scumbag.
Seeing how you hold God in such high regards, I wonder, how did you come to this point in terms of your esteem, or lack thereof, for God? I may be “throwing pearls to swine”, but I figured I’d give rational discourse a chance here.
I must hand it to you. That is a very well-thought, lofty goal. Your response though necessitates a further asking of the question: why? Why do you wish banishment from this site?
1. So, bad behavior (irrationally attacking something verbally) done by one party justifies the same behavior by the other party?
2. I don’t recall having said anything derogatory about Obama, other than critiquing his message and political approach from a historical and public policy perspective. I have no personal beef with the guy. I just don’t agree with him.
3. Why don’t you believe in God’s existence? Wouldn’t you have to believe in God to defecate on Him, as you have said you do?
1. Fun? How?
2. “Can” does not imply “ought”.
3. How do you determine “ought” in terms of your actions?
Whether you appreciate the fact that there’s something deeper or not, one can infer a bit about a person’s character and moral system. I’m merely critiquing your perceived intentions here.
1. To try to get banned from a site because (a) it’s “fun”, (b) you “can”, and (c) for money, shows signs of hopelessness and, as you said, a shallowness that’s not very unique, but rather quite ordinary among most folks today. I’m merely trying to determine the source of such shallowness. I often wonder, considering I used to be agnostic, how do most folks answer questions dealing with origins, purpose, morality and destiny. Most shallow folks have delegated their ability to reason to other, hence have given up one of the key elements of being human.
2. “It’s nothing personal.” Not to get too technical, but your ad hominem (personal attacks) are by definition, personal. Does this spark a swelling hatred or anger within me towards you? No.
Isn’t this the same gesture Rosie O used to respond to certain issues about toilet paper?
You know, in a Freudian sort of way, the emblem may actually be very fitting if not very telling of what is to come.
Put that O gesture behind Obama and you’ll get
A HOLE.
Perfect. Suits him well.
Here are my photoshop submissions…
Alcohol and posting, never a good combination.
This looks more like a defiant symbol the Muslim Brotherhood, or some Chicago gang would adopt when surrendering to law enforcement. Is this the new sign for surrender?
Typical Obamessiah supporter.
That’s what I thought when I read this. Talk about a political cult, wow.
(sung to the tune of the German national anthem…)
OH-BEE, OH-BEE ÜBER ALLES…
I can only hope that this becomes The Obamboozler’s final comeuppance…the vero possumus seal was almost enough for most Americans…maybe seeing some “masses” offering their Heil! Heil! greetings will be just the thing to nail it for the election.
Kind of looks like it could mean
‘Big A$$hole’
Sorry. That’s already been pointed out. More coffee needed.
…maybe they added “Sign of Progress” on the poster to remind everyone that
TOMORROW BELONGS TO THEM :

Your mother must be proud.
Let us be thankful for fools; but for them the rest of us could not succeed.
Mark Twain
People! stop feeding the troll!
My new HP computer uses the same symbol and is called “Total Care Advisor” Look it up.
Maybe it is just a visual aid for Obama’s “handlers”.
Car-water-Ted Kennedy’s logo!
Mike, that’s funny, but; he is only half black. I read yesterday that it is the top half that is black.
I think it’s really smart that they are using a symbol from a Star Trek episode since the Messiah wants to be leader of the universe… wait a second, maybe that’s why he can’t produce his actual birth certificate….

Obama Eye
I like the 2nd one, the man with his head up his nether regions.
The infamous “goatse” picture comes to mind…
We already knew this.
You still dont have a point other than..well, you dont have a point
Now, go do your chores and tell your 2 mommies i said hi.
Obama’s campaign is little more than a later day 60’s anti-war protest.
It’s got ignorant, anti-American, unwashed youth. It disrespects the flag. It’s supported by our foreign enemies. It disrespects our troops and the combat wounded. It has mainstream media avoiding the truth, and telling lies when necessary. It has democrat traitors in Congress. It has hollywood support. It has songs and posters. Now, they have crafted their special hand sign.
Their training is complete. They can now join their radical grandfathers on the dark side!
It failed forty years ago. It will fail again today!!
(pick anything)
Wow. Sounds like the wastes of life over at DU. How bored do you have to be to take a bet like that? You need a hobby. For that matter, how old are you? Whatever your age is, try living up to it.
At least learn to spell “cooter,” you poor, pathetic schmuck.
wow.. talk about the troll of trolls..
Anyway,
Don’t all street gangs have their own hand signals and signs?
Obama photo w/ Hillary & Richardson: standing outside the frame of the flag and clueless as to what to do. Tells the story. Expect a coup at the Dem convention. This guy is lost. Even experienced handlers can’t help him.
Kokonut – there are a couple of variations on the sign:
Just like the spoken word, there is “slang” in the sign world.
So, Obama’s new symbol certainly has a foundation for our “alternative” interpretation.
I’ve heard it once and it SO applies to BHO..
Small man, long shadow..
=====================================
Steve812 or whatever his name seems to be the type of person to kick a dog or cat just for laughs..
#14 STEVE456 has to go. enough of his BS.
WAR IN GEORGIA (the country, its by russia and the black sea) Obama announces his plan to withdraw all us troops from Georgia to alabama and end our occupation of the 52nd state. Wait, one of his 300 advisors just told him we aren’t occupying georgia…
Steve456: Your mother called, your supply of cheedos is gone so you will have to get out of her basement and get another bulk supply from costco. And the FBI was wondering how old those girls were in your “entertainment” videos. Enough of that troll now everyone ignore the 45 year old 400ld pedophile who never left his mothers basement.
Looks like Howard Dean is blogging anonomously again. That nutcase can’t fool anyone with some phony login name.
At the risk of Godwin …
In the rock movie “The Wall, they use crossed arms with fists to represent two crossed hammers.
Why I am wary of “The Wave” ..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wave_(book)
I hadn’t read the book, but I did see the 1980’s tv movie.
Steve456 is the same whacko who consistently threatened to “break” people with physical violence on abortion threads. I’m surprised he wasn’t banned back then, but it looks like he went all out in his efforts today to get banned.
Bub-bye whacko!
I hope they pull this off, I really do. Watching nearly a hundred thousand facists re-enact a scene from “The Wall” ought to be enough to finally make all the normal people see what a bunch of dangerous lunatics these people are.
I wonder how many people will faint at the dem convention? fools.
I have a salute called “the One”. One finger raised high in the air. The middle finger as a sign to the sender and the receiver of what is to come!
A certian austrian did something like this in germany in 1933…
Exactly, and you can’t even scream reducto ad hitler when they are actually looking to recreate the imagery. I sure hope some people get some pictures of this, so we can put side by side photos up for comparison
Answer: all of them, when Hillary wins the nomination.
*self edit: reductio ad Hitlerum
Well said rightside, well said indeed. Now if one of us could actually meet the troll, that would be different.
But along with MessiahShip, the I Am Who I Am special sign language won’t the dhimmi need a theme song? L’Internationale — Communist Anthem, or athaan (muslim call of prayer) would be appropriate.
For sign language is the Hawaiian Peace Symbol off the table?

His Messiahship be mocked- the Botox Broad 2
Allie OOP OOP be praised
from link above,
too funny, and the one guy has ears just like Odumbo’s! lol.
Obama’s a dufuss!
Ha! ron, you might be right.
I see a tennyson photoshop coming for this one. These Morons just make it to easy.
Oh My, I can’t believe some of these posts. I’ve never seen anything like this on MM’s site. Hope it is not a sign of the future. I don’t think I can defend to the death his right to talk like that.
I guess since liberals don’t have answers to hard questions, they have to have symbols. Poor babies.
Never EVER count the clintons out unless you see the body and check the pulse twice.
Ah, so it’s because we don’t believe in him that we insult him! See, all this time I thought it was because he is dreadfully inexperienced, a political shyster that’s far less adept at his pandering than Bill Clinton was as President, one who is also obviously less capable, and who evinces virtually zero understanding of foreign policy (or American geography for that matter). He’s like the vacuous supermodel spokesperson. Look any deeper than the surface, and there’s no substance.
But I guess I think all of that, just because I don’t believe. Sure.
Have some more kool-aid, and try not to be late to class this morning.
Love to get up in the morning to laugh hysterically, but unfortunately it didn’t last. This guy is actually running for president. How depressing is that? Even more depressing, how many people are falling for this dangerous “celebrity”’s BS.
My vote goes for deleting all comments banning steve456 and starting this thread over.
As a point of mention, i went thru some of the koskids stuff this morning…
Its so intellectually devoid of anything terribly rational in some places, its almost shameful they can use a computer
I posted a few things, we’ll see if the kids want to play 
enough of that threadjacking…
Pretty much the only symbol i needed to see was the one above with him on the podium. That shows me all i need to see.
In the scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (not the newest last crusade, but the previous last crusade) when “Indy” goes to Berlin to get the book and ends up in the midst of a massive book burning rally.
I’m picturing the same kind of mob scenes
in Denver later this month.
ONE PEOPLE! ONE WORLD! ONE OBAMA!
HAIL VICTORY!
Now let’s hear about Obama’s Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.
You know, more and more, Obama sounds like Dwight Shrute from “The Office” the time Jim slipped him some of Mussolini’s speeches on the sly to give to the salesmen’s convention.
Here is the definition of what I call the salute “the One”. Very useful for ordering a table for one in a crowded restaurant or saying good-bye to someone you admire. This could be so useful for devotees and admirers of Obama and non-devotees at the same time. So universal in it’s message. Like Obama’s message.<a href=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_finger
walterc, it’s going to be much worse than that.
Sounds like they have the right to sue for copyright infringement. (fingers crossed.)
The thread now looks and smells cleaner… thanks moderators
Thank you Michelle and team.
Thanks moderators, there is no call for language like that.
Yup, I hate to even drawn attention to these knot-heads by commenting or arguing with them.
Tag line for Obama’s new symbol…
“Zero Worship”
Obama is the American Chavez – just you wait and see that come true.
It’s a good thing I had just put down my coffee
Bravo.
I took the liberty to fix Obama’s sign.
lol, ron… exactly spot on.
