Obama salute cultist strikes back
We had a lot of fun last week with the Obama salute. But the guy who created the sign is not amused. Like his idol, he’s playing the martyr and vows to “persevere” over all us meanies who got a good snort when we laid eyes on his creation.
Washington Whispers, which first brought attention to the Big Zero gesture, has a follow-up.
Be sure to click and read the whole, hilarious lament:
At first, Rick Husong was stunned by the overwhelming wave of negative and sometimes crude reactions to his bid revealed in Whispers last week to build a pro-Sen. Barack Obama movement around a hand salute dubbed the Big-O.
…At first we were bothered by the negative and vulgar comments made. When someone attacks something you hold dear, it hurts…
…The hand sign for peace was first a British form of giving someone the bird, then it became a war cry for victory. Today it is a symbol of peace & love. Once again goodness persevered. We too will persevere. Bring your hands together over your head to make a large ‘O’ and join us in our fight to take America back. Vote for Barack Obama.”
Rick Husong, meet Ron Rockstar:

I want one of those bumper stickers Max. Actually 3 or 4.
Better get them printed up before they copyright that symbol.
Thanks Walterc… I’ll try and see if I can… !
Looks like a big O for Onanism.
That makes a lot of sense since the majority of Obama supporters seem to get most of their news from You-Tube.
I wonder if Wonkette understand how much this helps prove the point about how inane she are her like-minded friends really are?
Hey Rick Husong, does a sig heil go with the “salute”?
I understand that M.Lewinsky has a hand sign quite similar to this one for B.Clinton.
I think the founder of Wonkette, Ana Marie Cox, is no longer involved with that blog. IIRC correctly, Cox was an equal-opportunity offender, and both parties got their bruises. The chumps she turned it over to are just left-wingers with much more juvenile humor.
AS for Husong…
I have this to say…
sniff, sniff, weep, weep, boo hooo and sob
What an appropriate logo ‘0′ for a candidate with zero ability to govern.
“The hand sign for peace was first a British form of giving someone the bird, then it became a war cry for victory. Today it is a symbol of peace & love.”
This statement is bogus. The “V” for victory does not go back to giving people the bird. It goes back to the Middle Ages and the English archers.
When the French caught an English archer, the archer’s two middle fingers on the right hand were cut off to prevent them from shooting arrows. This was meant to be a message to English archers.
Sooo before battle, the English archers would taunt the French by making a “V” with the two fingers needed to position and hold the arrow.
For more information about this (and to learn to build your own English longbow) check out the Archer’s Tale by Bernard Cornwell. Better researched than the bogus history quoted by Rick Husong.
I don’t think Winston Churchill ever thought of the “V” as a peace symbol. It represented victory (as in we’re gonna beat the poop out of those stinky Nazis) and we’re gonna win.
Never has a symbol indicated it’s worth as well as this one.
It was a zero representing a zero(Obama) and shows the combined IQ of those who support him and the degree to which the symbol worked out.
Ms Malkin, I wish I could post that deaf sign language Obama sign…
I’m dying! Can’t breath. Laughing too hard.
The Swastika used to be a peace sign…
Look how that turned out.
Willie Wonka needs to reign in his wife.
Oh, and here I thought the Big O stood for Overstock.com!
Silly me.
O as in, his head is so far up Obama’s O, he can’t see day light.
First off, its, no longer a “she”. Anne Marie Cox left a bit ago and now it is a couple of guys that run the Blog. Second, Wonkette doesn’t pretend to be anything other than political humor. May not be your brand of humor, but lets not make it to be something other than the blog equivalent of slapstick.
Erik W, post 22. Remarkable parallel to what we are experiencing with Obama.
Well since Obama wants Americans to speak Spanish he should change his name to La Obama. Then all his people could hold an L near their forehead.
How about, ‘Once you go Barack, you’ll never be satisfied with using just one hand again’?
OK, this was TOO easy: Sign-O-O-O.png
Rick Husong,”live long and prosper”…
Maybe their slogan could be, “Give us your O-face!”
That logo is not simply stupid . . . it’s downright obscene.
