WHILE THEY LAUGH, WE FUME!
OBAMA SUCKS, S.C. (TPS) - CNN is reporting that, “Two prominent supporters of Illinois Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign in South Carolina called state Democratic Party officials and urged them to keep funnyman Stephen Colbert’s name off the primary ballot, according to party officials and Obama supporters.” We don’t know which “prominent supporters” they’re speaking of, but may God have mercy on their souls.
There are few words in the English language to describe how pissed we are at the crybabies in the Obama camp. We understand that the Democratic Party was never going to allow Colbert on the ballot, regardless of the childish antics of Obama’s people. But the fact that they still went and whined to party officials to keep someone from partaking in the democratic (and Democratic with a big “D”) process — serious or not — is downright pathetic.
And not only did they usurp democracy, but they may pay a price for messing with Colbert. It will take little more than a few angry statements on the Colbert Report — if the writer’s strike ever ends — to put a good-sized dent in Obama’s Colbert-loving base.
So why make such a potentially harmful error?
Well, apparently they couldn’t stomach the fact that Colbert was able to “mobilize” Obama’s crowd with infinitely more effeciency and excitement. The Obama camp must have really felt Colbert was a serious threat. Either that or they simply hate free speech.
Until now, we’ve had little negative disposition toward the Obama campaign; we disagree with about 99 percent of what the guy believes in, but we didn’t think ill of he or his staff. Now however, we wish them nothing but painful defeat. And we will be throwing the vengeance party.
