Cue Byron York asking when the Democratic Governor of Ohio decided to change its state flag to match Obama’s seal.

Thank GOD!
I saw the flags being discussed in the comment, and not being familiar with the Ohio State flag (sorry, Ohioans), I was kinda wondering the same thing as the poster…but in a "guys, didn’t you learn ANYTHING from the stupid seal business?!?" kinda way…glad to hear I was wrong.

Uhm….so… wouldn’t any county created in the US be by definition American? Also… is this a question? Or just the stupidest thing anyone has ever said phrased as a question?
Stupid makes my brain hurt.

I believe that back in the day, they called this ‘segregation’. And white conservatives were generally in favor of it.

It’s an honest mistake.

Obama hasn’t even been elected yet and he’s already oppressing these people! That’s mad skilz there!

I know I’m just being picky, and I am trying to stop myself, but I cannot:
You cannot have an African country in America. It is not possible. African countries are in Africa, by definition, and Africa and America are mutually exclusive, geographically.

Bah ha ha ha. Ah, man, such joy these people bring. The irony is, some filtering through a real organization would make these guys seem less loony. Good thing they intentionally threw away the filter; we need the laughs these days more than ever.

@r€nato: Nonsense. Segregation wasn’t about giving Africans their own country – at least not one in which they had the right to vote.
Nim, ham hock of liberty
I like how the poster didn’t want any "looney left" responses.
Serious discussions only, please, of how this shows Obama is planning to create an African country within the United States.

Imagine how stupid they’re going to get after he wins the election.
I think it’s safe to say that the Clinton era won’t hold a candle on the Obama era for right-wing nuttiness and loony theories about our President.
Can someone – anyone – tell me anything at all reassuring about how this time it might be different? At least Obama doesn’t seem to have had any "bimbo eruptions", so that’s a plus.

That Obama is going to win by a massive margin and Republicans are going, for the near future, be something you are ashamed to associate with or admit to being?

@Elliott:
No, you see, Obama is African American. Therefore, he can establish an African country in America. Or maybe a half African country. On the other hand, Sarah Palin could openly advocate the creation of the Independent Republic of Hock Mommystan and be still be all-American. Because, shut up, that’s why.
Such are the ways of Wingnut Logic.

Back to Ohio with this Al Jazeera interview of some of Palin’s most vocal supporters.

This is good reporting, the reporter is not injecting his beliefs and letting the people damn themselves with their own words. It’s ironic that it comes from Al Jazeera. why can we not have reporting like this in the US?

Won’t work. They’ll just insist that the ballot boxes were stuffed by phoney voters registered by ACORN. They’ve been laying the groundwork for this for years now.
El Cid
@NonyNony:
The plus side is that there’s no exciting "newness" to this right wing Reaganite lunatic bin.
During the 1990s they could still always claim that their crazy right wing approach to the Universe had never really been tried.
Well, now, we’ve tried it. It’s crap. They had every branch of government and all these right wing base / Stink Tank / publication / blog freaks had their 15 months or more of fame.
It’s being about as widely rejected as any political philosophy we’ve ever had.
So when they emerge to scream from Minorityville that Emperor Haile Obama is oppressing them, I think a lot of people may remember for the next 2 years, maybe the next 4 years, maybe the next 40 years if Obama does a great job, that the last time these freaks had their way the whole country went to sh*t.
Maybe that wasn’t what you were asking, but it’s what I think of when I’m thinking about the future of the Right Wing Nut Squad effect.

It’s just an all-devouring black hole of dumb and fail out there.
On the other hand, it would be fun to turn this into a viral email as a hoax. I wonder how many right-wingers would fall forit?

Clinton got blindsided by the black-helicopter set, and the Republicans had not exposed their nutters yet. Now, the freaks have been on the TV enough that the sensible-sounding front-end has had to repudiate them.

well…in that Simpsons clip that was going around a few days ago, Homer references that Ohio is not part of America. so, technically, Obama was speaking in front of a foreign flag, hence he’s unfit to be President. makes total sense.
at this point, i’d bet money that Obama wins PA, IN, VA, CO, FL, NH, MI, and NM, but LOSES Ohio–i think that’s the one toss-up state that McCain manages to win.
but by then, it all be too late. (cue bwa-ha-ha-ha laugh)

I have been meaning to ask you people this forever:
Do you think it would be any different if Obama’s mom was black and his dad white? No? Well…still wondering.
I sent a friend the link to John Cleese discussing Palin yesterday and my email subject line said: "I miss the dead parrot on the tee vee, don’t you?" We are recently reunited college buddies (UC Santa Barbara) from the late 70s, when a decent "lid" was $10, Sat. Nite Live ruled, and Monty Python was god. She’s in Iowa now and told me how the primary caucus night went for her. Pretty fun.

@NonyNony: No one gives a crap anymore. 16 years ago, when Clinton walked in to office in the middle of a Republican Dynasty, large swaths of the country hated all Democrats period. Guys tuned into Rush in droves to hear about how horrible a President the Clenis was. Republicans won in a landslide in ’94 in reaction to the "evil liberals!" threat to America.
That groundswell of conservatism just doesn’t exist anymore. America got its 6 years of full-blown Republican Nirvana. And it sucked. Hard. Bush as broken virtually every campaign promise that brought him into office. Honor and Integrity to the White House? Ha! Limited Government? Haha! No more Kosovo-style foreign adventurism? Lols! Safety? Security? Spreading Democracy? *laughs* Economic prosperity? You must be joking.
What is Obama going to do that will justify all the pooh-flinging we expect to see? At least Clinton got a blow job on the taxpayer’s dime. And he screwed with the FAA. Obama just gets to dance around America fixing things that obviously need fixing. After 8 years of clusterfuck stupidity, his job is going to be impossibly hard but his standards will be ridiculously low. If he manages to cut the screw ups in half by 2012, he’ll be a national hero. It’s going to be really really hard to gin up a case against Barry O, and really really easy to ruthlessly mock the Bush dead-enders who try.

Yes. Or rather more precisely, no. It will be different from the Clinton years. I expect riots. If we’re lucky, perhaps they’ll all secede and go to Alaska or Alabama or some place like that. We can get the nukes and our own out, and let them live in the insane reality-free world they’ve always wanted. And I really think that’s the best scenario we can hope for.

I have a very good feeling about my recently-adopted state of residence. (and CO, the state from whence I came.)
I did a super-scientific survey as I drove thru the post office parking lot today. Out of 12 cars, 3 had Obama stickers and one McShame. I live in a small, very white town in the WNC mountains in a red county. As are all the surrounding counties. The support for O/B here is amazing. I realize that the pride and excitement of the Obama supporters translates into advertising their votes, in contrast to the shame and embarrassment the Rethugs must feel. Who can blame them for not going public with their vote?
But still. I see half a dozen Obama stickers to every one McCain. I likes this a lot.

@Zifnab:
Really?
A while back I wondered if Obama was going to turn out to be another Clinton or another Carter. I stand by those two possibilities at the moment (mostly because I’m a pessimistic sonuvabitch). Because we’re going to be going through a long, hard slog to rebuild what the GOP destroyed and the right-wingers are going to be blaming it all – constantly and incessantly – on the Democrats. When things don’t start to recover instantly on January 21st 2009, it’ll be all the Democrats fault.
And I don’t expect the media to be helpful in this matter. Not at all. They’re going to continue to suck and let right-wingers make stupid claims completely unchallenged by reality.
The only things that have me kind of comforted are the fact that El Cid is right – this stuff isn’t new anymore. It’s crawled out on a rock and died for everyone to see. And as you say, the right has kind of severely lowered expectations for Obama – when he gets into office and turns out not to be a bomb-throwing radical but instead a slightly left of center moderate, the mushy middle of the country will probably breathe a sigh of relief. Of course, the mushy middle of the country mostly liked Clinton too (see his approval ratings – relatively high through most of his term in office except right around ’94).
The other bit of hope that a friend just reminded me of is that Clinton and Carter both really were ‘outsiders’ to the DC circle. And they were both perceived as ‘Southern bubbas’ who just didn’t ‘get’ DC (as Broder once described Clinton coming in and "trashing the place"). Clinton and Carter both fought as much with their own parties in Congress and with the DC media as they did with the Republicans. Obama may actually have a good chunk of the Congress at his back since he really isn’t an ‘outsider’ in the way that Clinton and Carter were. And he’s more of a ‘compromise to a middle path’ sort of guy than a ‘fighter’ like Clinton was. That may help him a lot. Since if he doesn’t have to worry about the knives from his own party, he can concentrate a bit more on the knives from the GOPers.

Clendon likely made an honest mistake, but only insofar as he did not recognize the Ohio State flag. As a west-coaster, I might have also missed this.

Yeah, being an Ohioan we’ve always thought the Obama symbol always looked suspiciously like our own state symbol, not flag, mind you.
Well, except for the wheat. And the arrows.
As for our flag, it’s hard to mistake, because it’s the only one in the Union that’s pointy, isn’t it?
We’re Ohio, bitches, and we like being different, so we came up with, like, this weirdly-shaped flag.
Ohio wins the internet!

I actually noticed that the middle flag in one photo of Obama in Ohio was different. And so I did what may seem unfathomable – I considered the possibility that it could be the state flag, looked it up on the internet to confirm, and then went about my business.
Which, as a liberal, involves burning real American flags and kicking puppies.

Damn straight. It’s not the fact that they couldn’t recognize the Ohio state flag that’s the problem (hell, I wouldn’t have recognized it), it’s the thought process that leads to conclusions like "ZOMG Obama will create an African nation in the heartland" that needs to be ridiculed, because it’s the same though process that got us mired in Iraq, that prompted us to suspend habeas corpus and embrace torture. It’s like a quarter of the country is paranoid delusional.
Clendon, seriously, you believed that crap?
And I cannot tell you how much fun it is to receive lectures on flag etiquette from the same group of people who have appropriated flag imagery for their own purposes, and who stuck little American flags on their car antennas that eventually became little torn, faded, stained, shabby-looking rags.

Speaking of which, what about the McCain campaign’s TV flack background image?
See, for instance – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRbMuk3wDlo
They went and printed their campaign slogan over the top of the flag! I suppose desecrating our sacred flag is okay, if you’re a Republican.

Hoax? What difference would that make to these people? They don’t really care if it’s factual or not as long as it supports their racist paranoid fuckedup fundie worldview.
IIRC there was a post by Tim F. that linked to a study that showed how conservatives were in fact more likely to believe something after it had been debunked.
These people for the past 8 years have fucking demanded they be lied to. These people don’t need or even want truth. Never have for the past 8 years, and they sure as hell don’t want it now.

@Comrade Darkness:
The description of the design/symbolism of the Tennessee flag seems apropos of this historical moment: "The final blue strip relieves the sameness of the crimson field and prevents the flag from showing too much crimson when it is limp."
mikeyes
Technically it is a pennant because it is not rectangular and more specifically a burgee with the swallowtail. While pennants are flags, flags are not pennants.
It is, by far, the best looking state flag in the country.
If you look at wikipedia you will find that the only other pennant at the state or above level in the world is Nepal’s. I guess that means that BHO is going to make us the next Nepal.

Don’t despair. Lunacy and paranoia are merely states of the mind.Thank God (if I may) there are those out there who will ground us on occasion.
For example, "[i]n the first sketch, Chevy Chase plays a job interviewer, and comedian Richard Pryor plays the applicant. Chase decides to play word association with Pryor — tree/dog, fast/slow, rain/snow. But then Chase starts throwing out racially loaded words and phrases: Negro. Colored. Burr head. Spearchucker. Jungle bunny. And finally, nigger. Pryor’s responses? Whitey. Redneck. Cracker. White trash. Honky. And finally, dead honky.
[Second,] SNL cast member Garrett Morris plays an inmate auditioning for a prison theater production. To the white judges, he sings, “I’m going to get me a shotgun and kill all the whiteys I see/When I kill all the whiteys I see, then whitey he won’t bother me.” Dan McGraw, Ft. Worth Weekly 9/5/07.
