Celebs Stage Five-Alarm Last-Ditch Effort to Save Obamacracy as We Know It

By Doug Powers  •  October 28, 2010 04:19 PM

**Written by Doug Powers

From Story Balloon, here’s a pitiful last-ditch slapstick panic attack from mostly B-list Hollywood. Apparently a good chunk of A-list Tinseltown has chosen to avoid further humiliating themselves over this year’s more-than-likely lost cause.

If you don’t have time to watch, here it is in a few words: “Don’t just sit there, immigrants are about to be pulled from their cars, gays won’t be able to get married and nobody will have health care because stupid people are really motivated this year.”

The only thing missing from this last-minute desperate scramble is a chamber band playing “Nearer my God to Thee” as gullible celebutards’ dreams of a unicorn ranch in fantasy land go glub glub:

I had planned to picture Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid when voting next week, but now I think the faces I’ll be seeing when giving the ballot an extra hard punch are these annoyingly smug tools.

Update: I changed a word in the headline. It’s a word I used to describe the Hollywood left but it can be construed as insensitive to others, and that’s certainly never my intent, so I changed it and won’t use it again. Apologies to anyone who took offense (with the exception of the aforementioned celebrities).

    So I’m watching this and I’m thinking if I was a liberal it wouldn’t fire me up to vote at all. Then they called me stupid for not wanting to vote for the things they support and suddenly I felt fired up to go vote. Somehow I don’t think that was what they were going for. But I’ve already voted so I guess now it’s time for me to go cook a kitten.

    Have an interesting conversation to report on how utterly stooopid these Hollywood types of Jon Stewart Dems are.

    Husband was in a bar in DC last night on a business trip. He overheard two ladies talking, one saying she was from NPR, the other a moonbat who was begging her to go to the Stewart rally. The NPR lady appeared to be “fair and balanced” for a lib, and said she has started watching O’Reilly. (Disclaimer, have not watched O’Reilly since he kept Geraldo Rivera unless he has Dennis Miller as a guest, as I am not a fan of loud and opinionated narcissists. That said, O’Reilly does do good now and then when he is not being smug and teetering on liberalism). The moonbat libtard was horrified at her friend’s admission. She also was told about the firing of Juan Williams, and moonbat said “she didn’t follow that story” and agreed it “didn’t seem right.” Moonbat went on to say that she was going to dress “as a witch on Halloween but wear a sign she was not a witch.” Soooo funny. Then moonbat nitwit started whining about how she did not understand how or why “people could be so mad” and how “tea baggers were really mean people.” I think the fair and balanced lady responded that the anger could come from a 10% national unemployment rate and the resulting tanking housing market. The moonbat said she had not considered those issues. This is a true story.

    I took from this story that there are a small percentage of liberal wackos waking up to the pretend world of unicorns, and that maybe there is another opinion to consider, after all the hope and change.

    This is what we are dealing with: uninformed, non-curious to fact-check issues, moronic, libtards who vote (D) behind anyone because that is what Hollywood and Jon Stewart (their news source) tell them to do. This and the public education system lowering standards for illegals and minorities, which are the dumbing down of our country.

    In addition to someday having the public vote on term limits and public voter ID measures, we also should be allowed to require that all voters have to answer, with a passing grade, simple questions such as “Who is the VP?” “How many states make up the USA?” “Who is the current Secretary of State?” After all, voting is a privilege. I know, dream on.

    Six more days to vote with a Slurpee in hand, folks, and (please, please let conservatives take back this country) witness some hang-dog faces from the most ethical Congress in history. Fun times.

    How do people like this become famous? Seriously. What is it that has made these morons commodities in the market place of ideas? Has our culture degraded so far that we are paying to listen to idiots who do not have a functioning frontal lobe tell us how we ought to decide what direction our government should take?

    I will reiterate what Rush Limbaugh said earlier today: If you want to have higher taxes, higher unemployment, less freedom, and an ever-expanding and ever-controlling centralized government, then choose to vote for the people who are “moving us forward.”

    If you want to see our nation turn into a totalitarian dictatorship, run by an oligarchy that will rule over every aspect of your life, then vote for the bunch that the brain-dead minions in this video want for you to vote for. If you don’t, and you want to be as free as your parents and grandparents were, then VOTE THE MISCREANTS OUT!

    It is either that, or they follow the silly line that “Dub’ya drove the car into a ditch, and Obama was left to push it out and get us rolling again.” The rhetoric of the left is so idiotic, but they don’t have any ideas of their own, so they’re left giving us mindless propaganda that they feed upon.

    It is SO easy to destroy the left’s arguments about the economy and unemployment, because Obama is repeating all of the rottenness of Bush, and has injected that rottenness with steroids. Everything that Bush did wrong that Obama and his idiot minions harangue Republicans about are the very things that Obama is currently doing in spades–not to mention all of the new government regulations and control over industries that will destroy those very industries.

    Of course most liberals do not have any idea of what is going on. It’s the difference between being an unthinking partisan cog in a political machine, and being a concerned CITIZEN.

That is the show that if you have the flu and are pretty much consigned to the couch for the day, it is like on all day long. The only thing they are doing are asking young people to give up their future freedoms. Get told where to work, how to live, what to eat….

    I can’t wait till I’m a grumpy old man telling kids, I remember there used to be a sandwich called a Big Mac and it was sold by a fast food company we called McDonalds…. the kids will have no clue and ask, what is fast food?

    I’d be laughing right now, if all of this that Lindsay spoke of wasn’t so utterly true. Had a debate with a couple of libs awhile back on FaceBook, and there were two of them who “demanded” sources to my point that homosexuality wasn’t found in nature nor admitted as natural by most scientific and medical journals. I posted the sources, but when I asked for the same in return, my liberal counterparts stated “We don’t have to provide sources or proof because our stance is more morally sound” (I’m not making this up)!!! At that point, I declared the debate over, myself as the victor, and my two opponents as having been smacked around. Of course, they “returned ‘fire’” with [sarcasm] intelligent words and well-thought-out replies [/sarcasm] which shall not be repeated here and which I did not reply to.

    Yes, folks, these are the kinds of people we have to “debate” (and it should come as no surprise, seeing how Chris Coons in Delaware not only is now dodging questions concerning the five freedoms in the Bill of Rights. but outright DEBATES against Christine O’Donnell.

    As Rush has stated ad infinetum, liberals cannot debate in the courtroom of ideals and principles because, when we get right down to it, they have neither.
