Oops: “Barack Osama” on the ballot
If a GOP elections commissioner were responsible for this, well you know what they’d shriek:
RAAAAACISM!
Read:
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s last name is spelled “Osama” on hundreds of absentee ballots mailed out this week to voters in Rensselaer County.
The misspelling, which elections officials on both sides of the aisle insist was simply a typo, is causing embarrassment for the county.
”No question this is an honest mistake innocently done,” said Edward McDonough, the Democratic commissioner. ”We catch almost everything.”
”This was a typo,” said Republican Commissioner Larry Bugbee. ”We have three different staff members who proof these things and somehow the typo got by us.”
Officials say the flawed ballots were sent to approximately 300 voters. On row 1A Barack Obama’s name is spelled Barack Osama.

A Freudian slip
Freudian slip anyone … gotta love it …
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
If the turban fits . . . .
I love it ! Thanks for the smile…
not much difference between the two anyway eh??
Typo?
The “s” is nowhere near the “b” on my keyboard.
Exactly!!
Ya beat me to it!
One of them is man enough to grow a beard. Other than that ?
mojoe
but if you put them together you definitely get “bs” …

Thanks Michelle for the only feel good story today. This is just so funny.

What’s the difference?
“57 states” with “one left to go” (US)
The devil is in the details…
Osama bin Biden?
…and your point?
Buraq Hussein Osama
I think this was done by someone with a wicked sense of humor. On my keyboard, the “s” & “b” are FAR apart on the same hand. LMBO
Ted Kennedy must have typed it up.
letget, I am not sure this is a feel good story. I’ll bet you a dollar to a donut that Obama lawyers/thugs are already on their way down there. Somebody has been disenfranchised and I guarantee they will be black.
It’s called a Freudian slip.
Whoops, Rob already knew …

The devil was in Saul Alinsky’s head.
In the front matter of Alinsky’s last book, Rules for Radicals, he wrote an acknowledgment to Lucifer.
You can’t make this stuff up.
And what does that say about Barack Obama that he was both a student of, and teacher of, Alinsky’s radical methods?
And what about Obama’s totally unBiblical concept of “collective salvation“?
Sorry about the typo!
That should have been:
Barack Marx
My bad!
more like a freudian slip, don’t ya think? i wonder if there will be any voters with that batch that will go ahead and select Osama? if this were in detroit, i would say all 300 come back with Osama selected.
Sure. If a Republican had been responsible for this, it would be a repeated talking point in the Osama (I’m sorry. I meant Obama. Really. An honest mistake and innocently done.) campaign.
John McCain typed it. You know, he’s behind the times and can’t use a computer or even type an email
Dems screw-up everything they touch.
He’s gonna get the muslum vote for sure!
HAHAHAHA!!
Even Jeff Foxworthy couldn’t make jokes THAT funny!
A Freudian slip
even the demos know what he is.
Oh well, the main thing is they didn’t use his middle name!
HhaHAHAHAHAHHAH
The oba.,.,…
hahahahhah
Aw never mind, hahhahah
Barack Osama
Doh! Sorry about that!
Here:
Bin Laden, Osama
Don’t know what I was thinking.
Prophetic?
Obama and Osama may have more in common than just similar names…
I want the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
If any of the TRUTH: statements here are untrue, then I challenge Barack Hussein Obama to “Fight the Smears”.
A good laugh wakes me up on Friday, just before I go home from work.

Gotta luvit!

Have you seen the English translation of the title they gave his book when it was sold in the world’s most populous Muslim country (Indonesia)?
Jihad: From Jakarta To The Whitehouse
In a voluntary poll with a sample size of about .1% of the total U.S. population (and about 1500% larger than the sample size of a typical MSM poll of 20,000 people)…
A majority of the respondents from all 50 states answered “Yes” to the question:
The only place where a majority answered “No” was in Washington, D.C.
Barack himself said:
Is O[s/b]ama practicing Taqiyya?
Yes, I can laugh at the ballot mistake, but I can’t laugh at the thought of a Communist Jihadist becoming President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief of our Armed Forces.
That is simply not a laughing matter.
Yes, Red Pill…Obama is practicing Taqiyya.
ROTFLMAO. But Mojo is right, this is no typo.
What state is this in? All I can think of is the Florida Times Union in Jacksonville.
Never mind . . . New York.
LOL – that is REALLY funny!
LOL
I have friends in Rensselaer, I just sent an email to see if they got one of these.
LOL!!
MY MIND CONTROL METHODS ARE BEGINNING TO WORK
Select one:
John McCain for 44th President of the United States
Barack Obama for 12th Imam
FAMILYMAN IS GREAT
FAMILYMAN IS GREAT
FAMILYMAN IS GREAT
You can spell “Sambo” out of Barack Osama. Clearly, those ballots are racists!
Can we buy them on E-bay?
Crap, that was funny. Three proofreaders.
Even with the typo I imagine Christopher Buckley, William Milliken and Susan Eisenhower can still figure it out.
Q. How is Obama like Osama?
A. They both knew people who bombed the Pentagon
It could have been someone ACORN hired off the street for booze and cigs.They are educated so well aren’t they?
Was Ted Kennedy one of the proof readers?
ITookTheRedPill,
Taqiyya? You amaze me. And I’ve learned something new. It’s a suppression of belief (stealth belief?) during wartime.
There was just too much going against McCain this year. Bush’s screw ups and unseriousness and now the banking panic, the press and the elites mostly in the tank for Obama. Too much to fight, even for McCain.
Oh well, we have only oursleves to blame, that we conservatives waited too long to force feet to the fire. The K Street Project should have been the sign, but we shambled along. And when Trent Lott was voted into the Senate leadership last year — was that not a huge warning signal?
I have decided that I can be a conservative or a Republican, not both. I have decided to be a conservative and stand aside shouting STOP! when the interests of my philosophy no longer line up with the GOP.
Obama bin Biden is a typo too!
is it a blue turban
Somehow I doubt Osama is going to lose New York by 300 votes…
Freudian slip.
The proofreaders must have been recruited by ACORN. Don’t know how to vote and don’t know how to read.
Buraq Insane Osama
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! This definitely makes my day!!
sarc_on Must be a product of our public educasion. /sarc_off
What’s really funny is that I was typing an email to a friend about the election and my word processor changed “Barack” to “BARRACK”. Like an Army Barracks… the very thing
barrackwhoops- Barry Osama hates- our American Soldiers! irony!Room!
Ba-dum-dum Chhh!!!
Good one!
They printed Teddy’s ballot the same way so he could understand it.
BOOOOOOSSSHHHH did it! No, wait! It was the Cheney-Haliburton cabal with their wireless “we can make typing changes to any text anywhere in the world” keyboard. MWAAHAHAHA!
I wonder how the democrats would react if there was a Republican candidate named Jameson Crow and it got changed to “Jim” on the ballot. They would find the person that committed that typo and pull every string to make sure he got a pulitzer prize. And the democrats would demand it was for non-fiction!

Hey Marybeth, are you in/around Jax?

That’s no typo, it’s a Freudian slip.
Now some democrat election official will print their ballots with ‘McSame’ and call THAT a typo.
They must have been thinking of Wednesday’s Nobel Chemistry Prizewinner Osamu Shimamura.
I wonder why American soldiers are donating more to Obama than McCain by a 6-1 margin? Could it be that McCain is the one who is not a friend of the military?
Doesn’t matter, Obama’s dolts are illiterate for the most part, products of public education.
Are you sure about that?

It wasn’t a typo. That’s who he is.
TheOtherSide, I searched for that story and practically every instance was the exact same story. No new info, just regurgitated spew from the AP. Also, that report is from August 14th. I’ll bet it’s changed since then. Of course, I can’t find any other story except that one so if it has changed, it’s not being reported.
All hail The One(tm) as our new fuehrer! He will lead the armies to victory over the forces of freedom!
ROFLMAO!! Seriously, having trouble breathing here.
Osamabama must’ve peed his pants when he heard about this.
>snort<
TheOtherSide, that’s a poll. How many times do I have to say that polls are crap? I’ll say it again.
In 2004, the pollsters OVER-polled Republicans so it would look like Bush had a big lead. Over the next few weeks they evened out the numbers so it made Kerry look like the “come-back kid!”
POLLS ARE B.S. Even if they “prove” to be “accurate” later, they can be manipulated to acheive any desired outcome.
Kind of like ACORN manipulating the voting rolls to get as many necro-proxy voters for The One(tm).
TheOtherSide
One of the first things I was taught in my advertising classes was the more education a person had the easier they were to manipulate. There is a limit.
I’ve been calling him Osama Obama for a long time now. What is the big deal?
Islamophoic Room 237 (#55)the Human Rights Commission will be calling.
Mooseman (#85): report for re-education
TheOtherSide (#76) Morning jerk. See you are wrong again.

ALCOHOL, TOBACCO AND FIREARMS
Should be a convenience store
NOT a Government Agency
Prediction: These ballots will be the “hanging chad” of 2008.
Leftists will claim that BUSH caused the confusing ballots to be printed and that tens of millions of ACORN registered voters in the county were confused and thus disenfranchised by the tampered ballots and thus failed to vote for Obama/Osama.
TheOtherSide
Again, we go through this flawed argument…myself BEING in the military (and an Operation Iraqi Freedom Vet), I can say with a certain amount of confidence that there are:
#1-more republican supporters than Obama supporters and
#2-there are just a FEW more brave men and women than the less than 2000 listed in this article.
Again, get a clue, and the only way the strongly republican (or prefers GOP in Washington!!!) military vote gets skewed is if we have another Florida debacle
I find it very hard to believe military members favor Osama 6 to 1 over McCain.
Freudian slip, typo, whatever.
It’s still hilarious and apropos.

No, it is not Freudian slip, it is:
FRAUD – ian slip. BHusseinO is a fraud.
That’s a misprint? I don’t get it. Looks correct to me.
KIDS ONLINE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION ALERT:
The Nickelodeon Channel is extremely liberal, and right now they’re running their “kids pick the president” online election for kids to “have their say”. Anyone can vote. Anybody here interested in throwing this toward McCain/Palin, feel free:
http://www.nick.com/kpp/
(The last two presidential elections, they did this, and of course Gore and Kerry both won in landslides.)
I wouldn’t be suprized is a Dem did this to gin up sympathy/support for Obama.
NJ-Aviator–#92…I’m with you. When I first saw this, I said to myself, So, what’s the problem?.
Room 237 – THAT was funny – keep ‘em coming.
