Obama Heckled at Coakley Rally in Boston

Filed under Barack Obama, Liberal Fascism, Progressives at January 18th, 2010 - 8:00 am

Barack Hussein Obama is worried about the Massachusetts Senate Special election. Brown is now polling ahead in separate polls and the Progressives are in panic mode. So Mr. Hussein went to Boston to campaign for Coakley. To his shock he was heckled. Being the Totalitarian that he is, the protesters were removed. Then in typical Alinsky style, he mocks Brown for driving a truck. I guess limos are OK but not trucks in his elitist mind.

Obama’s facial reaction says everything. He clearly doesn’t like opposing views. He is a Totalitarian at heart and this video clearly shows that.

    He needs to be mocked continously for his lying commie propaganda.

    Heres how you call him out. Simple and effective. Repost from last thread.

    Is that an announcement that the Obama Car Company, formerly GMC, is ceasing production of its truck lines? Paging Michael Moore!

    Sorry to go off topic, but I want to make sure everyone notices this article by Bill Bennet on the Pentagon report on Ft Hood, which fails to note Islam entirely:
    http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=MDJmNDFlMTJkMTMxOTQ5NGIzMjhkNmVhZjhhMmJiNTY=

    …Titled, “Protecting the Force: Lessons from Fort Hood,” this 80-plus page report mentions the words “Islam” and “Muslim” not once. Not once. It refers to Hasan as a “gunman.” As Ralph Peters put it, the report is “not about what happened at Fort Hood.” And “It avoids entirely the issue of why it happened.”…

    i’ve owned 13 cars since i was 16….none of them were GM.

    i made sure that the brit car is not touching anything, electrical problems are contagious.

    @ Nikis Knight:

    I was listening to Bill Bennett talk about this very thing early this morning. Not one mention of islam in the entire report. it’s an absolute outrage.

    regarding Scott Brown, a caller from MA said it’s the “Scott heard round the world”. I liked that. And, that idiot croakley thought the Senator Hottie McAwesome (posed in Cosmo decades ago) would hurt him. HA! I doubt it. In fact, it’ll probably help him even more!

    This heckler is clearly a ‘misunderstander” of the 1st Amendment.
    To heckle a Liberal is mean spirited, not protected & if the Liberal is light skinned with a Negro dialect only when he needs it, the heckling is racist.
    If the person heckled is a Conseravtive, then heckling is a patriotic expression of free speech.
    See, it’s so easy to understand.

    Barack: Martha Cokely ‘someone who’s going to put the interests of working folks all across Massachusetts first…’.

    That must NOT apply to children raped by their step fathers, or the owners of day care centers wrongly accused of ridiculous charges of child abuse.

    Barack: ‘ahead of party, ahead of special interests. And here’s what I know- that Martha has done so…’

    Unless it’s the extreme left wing of the Democrat party, pro abortion groups, ACORN…

    Coakley was complaining that Brown was pressing the flesh with the Proletariat just the other day. The idea that someone might want to interact with the serfs was as foreign to her as it was Marie Antionette.

    And in another bulletin from the front, Martha a/k/a Marcia Coakley’s campaign claims she’s up by 2% over the weekend. In view of the modesty amount of increase, there is speculation that the Dem ballot-counterfeiting operation encountered some glitches.

  14. 14 | January 18, 2010 08:37

    @ Gypsy:

    Up 2% would still be losing, but within the margin of fraud. I guess that is their new goal, and they will try and steal it in post-election procedings. The people of MASS. should riot.

That has got to be the most politically tone deaf thing that moron (yes, I called the Black Jesus a moron) has said yet. Hillary never would have said anything that stupid.

    Jeeps are GM – I know because I have one. They used to be AM (American Motors) but GM bought em out years ago.

    Which sucks because I own the thing outright and don’t want ot buy another vehicle. Though I don’t know how I’m going to maintenance it anymore.

    I guess one of the ford F seriers is next for me.

    Wow. The next round in the fisting competition is now open:

    (CNSNews.com) – Chai Feldblum, the Georgetown University law professor nominated by President Obama to serve on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, has written that society should “not tolerate” any “private beliefs,” including religious beliefs, that may negatively affect homosexual “equality”.

    In other words, outlaw Christianity, in toto, unless Christians conform to the State’s requirements on acceptible beliefs. The fistermeister will be salivating over that one. Facing electoral disaster, this is what the Obama Administration serves up as acceptible, even desirable. I’ve said it before, the Democrats are acting like they never have to face election again. I am seriously concerned about what they are planning.

    Found this slobbering bio:

    a Georgetown Law Professor (bio) — has been at the forefront of the struggle for LGBT and disabilities equality issues and fighting HIV/AIDS discrimination for as long as I’ve been around. She’s openly lesbian and one of the most respected voices on nondiscrimination legislation in D.C. Moments like these are why we fought to get Obama elected.

    Feldblum would be one of five commissioners at the EEOC, and the term is for five years.

    This certainly will lead to some heavy debate in the Senate because of the role Feldblum has played over the past years.

    To see what I mean, here’s just a small sampling of her recent work:

    * Moral Conflict and Liberty: Gay Rights and Religion, 72 Brook. L. Rev. 61-123 (2006).
    * The Right to Define One’s Own Concept of Existence: What Lawrence Can Mean for Intersex and Transgender People, 7 Geo. J. Gender & L. 115-139 (2006).
    * Gay is Good: The Moral Case for Marriage Equality and More, 17 Yale J.L. & Feminism 139-184 (2005).
    * The Definition of Disability in the Americans With Disabilities Act: Its Successes and Shortcomings, 9 Emp. Rts. & Emp. Pol’y J. 473-498 (2005) (co-authored piece).

    Well this news is just ass fisting fantastic! How the hell to all this sick fucks get to be professors in these fancy law schools. And what prevents them from being as sick as they want in the privacy of their own homes?

    Alain Joyandet, French co-operation minister, told reporters at the airport he had protested to Washington via the US ambassador about the US military’s management of the airport where he said a French medical aid flight had been turned away.

    In Paris, the foreign ministry tried to quash a looming diplomatic spat by insisting Franco-American co-operation was proceeding as well as possible in view of the extent of the disaster.

    Although I would likely heckle him too, I don’t think it totalitarian to have the heckler removed. That is just standard practice at these events. As if Code Pinkers and such weren’t removed when heckling Bush. Now, if the heckler is jailed, his family investigated, suddenly audited by the IRS, etc., that is different. And we have seen similiar things happen to ABC reporters who try to take pictures on public sidewalks, husbands of reporters who embarrass Biden, and of course plumbers who expose Marxist tendancies. Indeed, things happen to those that oppose him, BHO always seems shocked that it is allowed, and he absolutely does have totalitarian tendancies, but I don’t count removing of hecklers among them.

    Mocking someone for driving a truck is just the gift that keeps on giving. Ewww, those icky icky *normal* people with their sporting events and their Bibles and their trucks and their shaking of hands.

    “This is probably the best example of violation of the separation of church and state in this country,” said Weinstein. “It’s literally pushing fundamentalist Christianity at the point of a gun against the people that we’re fighting. We’re emboldening an enemy.”

    That would be true but only if the “enemy” can read the f-ing inscription on the scope and decipher WTF it means.

    Maybe I’m being unduly harsh on the half-reporting. Maybe they truly don’t have any details yet.

    Maybe I’m unfair in thinking they are downplaying violence done by the “victims.” But it just reminds me too much of Israel/Palestinian headlines. Israel is always named as the aggressor when Hamas et al are killed but when jihadists lob a rocket at a town, suddenly it is passive voice everywhere: “people injured” and magic rockets acting on their own volition.

    ABOARD THE AMPHIBIOUS ASSAULT SHIP BATAAN — The Bataan Amphibious Ready Group is scheduled to begin arriving in Haiti early Monday, with all ships expected to be in Haitian waters by sundown.

    “When the sun comes up [Monday] there will be a ship off Haiti with Marines,” said Capt. Tom Negus

    Not the first time the sun has come up on some island with Marines off shore!

    The people at the Coakley rally chuckled noticeably when Zero spoke of Scott Brown’s truck. Apparently, his truck has become an issue for the Democrats.

    Massachusetts has a huge population of working class people. I wonder how the Democrat strategy of ridiculing people who own trucks is playing out with them.

    I guess the Dems think that Massachusetts wants Kennedy-esque fat cats who are too rich to carry a dime around with them (or a credit card) while riding in their limos.*

    * There was a famous story about Jackie Kennedy where she saw some sort of store (possibly an antique store) and set her eyes on something that she wanted to buy. The problem? She wasn’t in the habit of carrying anything remotely related to currency on her person.

    So her minions had to do some shuffling to arrange for this spur of the moment lowlife thing where you see something you like and decide to purchase it with actual cash.

    No surprise that Coakley supporters are blaming Bush.

    “People are upset because there’s so many problems,” Rosemary Kverek, 70, a retired Charleston schoolteacher said as tonight’s rally wrapped up. “But the problems came from the previous administration. So we’re blaming poor Obama, who’s working 36 hours a day … to solve these problems that he inherited.”

    Also no surprise that a dem schoolteacher uses a contraction for the singular “there is” with the plural “problems.”

    I’ll give her a pass on 36 hours in a day and assume she is making a point.

    Lawmaker calls for more honest officer evals
    By Rick Maze – Staff writer
    Posted : Monday Jan 18, 2010 10:49:30 EST
    Fallout from the investigation into the shootings at Fort Hood, Texas, in November could bring an overhaul of the military’s officer evaluation system, a key lawmaker says.

    Rep. Ike Skelton, D-Mo., the House Armed Services Committee chairman who has spent much of his congressional career studying the training and development of officers, said something must be done to ensure that evaluations of officers contain an honest assessment of their attributes and flaws.

    Hey not to honest now?

    In all fairness, the only thing he knows about Americans is what his mommy, daddy, and elitist schools told him. As an adult he has lived and worked exclusively in radical left circles. So his “reality” comes entirely from the script of the neo-Marxist narrative, which casts non-lefty Americans as bitter clingers and “haters.” He really believes that.

    I think this is the reason why so many people have a gut sense that he is “foreign.” It has nothing to do with race.

    Sen. Ben Nelson’s popularity in Nebraska has plummeted in the course of the health care debate, with a new survey putting the Democratic senator’s approval rating at 42 percent. …

    But the poll suggests he’s taken a big hit at home for the role he’s played, particularly considering how popular he was before he waded deep into the health care negotiations. A SurveyUSA poll from April 2006 showed he was the most popular senator in Congress, with a 73 percent approval rating. He won re-election that year with 64 percent of the vote.

    Reports that a shop owner asked Brown-supporter customers for sign to put up in store. He said his was the only shop without one.

    Regardless of the true political feelings of the shop owners, this illustrates that it is GOOD BUSINESS to be known to support Brown. A huge development.

    As a former business owner, I can tell you I avoided declaring for a candidate, because even in my heavily conservative area, I couldn’t afford to alienate even 30% of potential customers. Clearly here, the split is pronounced enough to make it a financial boon to appeal to Brownies.

    I hear what you all are saying. What I’m telling you is my dealer was GM. My jeep manual says GM (I got it right here – I’m looking at it) my finance co was GMAC. I I’m not arguing – I’m just telling you who I’ve had to deal with as a jeep owner.
    Besides – I’m screwed no matter what. My dealership is gone. One of those taken by the government and given to someone else. They sell mini’s now – and nobody is buying!

    GMAC was a subsidiary of GM. GM sold about half of it to Cerebrus (sp?) the outfit that purchased Chrysler. So GMAC was at one point half owned by the folks who bought Chrysler.

    Jeeps, however, are not made by GM. The were part of AMC, which was acquired by Chrysler.

    Just be thankful the Muzz aren’t supplying their only real innovation: suicide bombers. That’d be all the situation in Hati needed, would be about 25 hard-core Mohammedans seeking virgins…

    I would not be surprised to learn that my church alone, and I don’t mean our whole denomination, sent more in money and help than all Dar Al Islam combined. Heck, a union of about 1500 guys from the US sent the same amount as China with 1/5th the world’s population.

    @ vapig:
    Years ago I made a comment at the other place about buying American.

    My comment: I had a 1994 Dodge Neon sport, it was made in Mexico. I traded that car for a Subaru that was made in Indiana. So be careful what American products you buy.

    I was informed that my Neon couldn’t have been made in Mexico, because they don’t make that mode there. Yet that is where mine was made, no matter what Chrysler, Dodge or goggle claims.

    VERY interesting. So who is JD Hayworth?

    JD Hayworth is a former AZ Congressman – for 12 years i think. Before that he was on a local television news station doing weather and sports. Right now, he has a three hour drive-time talk show on the most listened to local radio station in the state. Plus, he’s a nice man. :-)

    19 states have said they will fight the “Health Care Reform” bill if it passes.
    And Brown is still ahead in the polls.
    I think Coakley is going down.

    Many Chrysler products were/are assembled in Mexico. Same with GM and Ford. Small line Dodges of the 80s and 90s also used Mitsubishi 4 bangers. There is no such thing as ‘Buy American’ anymore.

    @ Poteen:

    Well, to the extent that the profits of the car company go back to the company’s home office, I prefer buying cars made by GM or Ford. That, and the fact that designing cars in the U.S. as opposed to Japan or Korea maintains our “intellectual property” and exercises our ability to create it.

    When American companies quit designing and buidling cars we are fucked. I prefer vehicles designed and built by Americans with the profit going back to an American company.

    @ Aladin Sane:

    They’re all international companies. GMAC moved their call center to the Philipines a few years back but it’s run by their CA corp. office.
    The profits will go to whichever entity in whichever country that’s the most tax advantageous. Not necessarily American companies, but it is the American Way.

    BTW, The only thing I like better than big American cars is little Italian rockets with big motors.

    @ Poteen:

    I respectfully disagree. They may be international, but both GM and Ford are listed on the NYSE (Well in GM’s cause, might be listed on the NYSE in the future). They live in the U.S. and profits from foreign divisions are reported here. Just as the profits from Honda, Toyota, Nissan and Subaru are eventually reported in Japan.

    GMAC is kind of distant from GM at this point. Like I said, GM sold about half of it to Cerebrus, from there I’m not sure where it went.

    @ Aladin Sane:

    Ditech funding ( primarily home loans) was one of the GMAC branches sold to Cerberus here in CA. The tax workings are complicated I would imagine, but the call center labor savings were something like 60%. ( a friend of mine ran the PI startup). If they stayed with American labor there was less to report. Pretty much the same with most manufacturing enterprises. Any electronic\electrically based products have been sourced from all over the far east and sometimes shipped back and forth several times. The manufacturing facilities are located to maximize profits. (i.e. taxes and labor vs. shipping and raw material costs) I’m not a tax whiz but I would guess that the profit generated by a particular product would be reported to take advantage of tax differences.
