| Sgt Otter BunkoSquad: I want to buy this headline dinner Immigrants? In America? Who can imagine such a thing? /Did I just white-knight John farking Sununu? SERENITY NOW! |
||
| Aarontology So f*cking what where his ancestors were from or where he was born? You sound like a racist piece of shiat Birther with this crap. |
||
| what_now Sgt Otter: Immigrants? In America? Who can imagine such a thing? Well, you'd think former Governor and Ambassador John Sununu would understand about the immigrant experience, but apparently not. |
||
| BunkoSquad Sgt Otter: BunkoSquad: I want to buy this headline dinner Immigrants? In America? Who can imagine such a thing? /Did I just white-knight John farking Sununu? SERENITY NOW! Well, I mean, I'd buy it dinner at the new pan-Asian-fusion-Middle Eastern-Latin place that's probably opening in town sometime soon. |
||
| what_now Aarontology: So f*cking what where his ancestors were from or where he was born? You sound like a racist piece of shiat Birther with this crap. Let me explain: Mitt Romney needs to dog whistle to the mouth breathers about how Obama is so very black, and black people aren't really Americans. So who does he get to do this? Does he go with a supporter who can trace their family tree back to the Mayflower? Does he go with someone who grandparents emigrated from a nice white country several generations ago? No, he goes with the half Muslim half Hispanic dude who was born in Cuba. Because the Romney campaign can't even dog whistle correctly. |

| Sgt Otter what_now: Sgt Otter: Immigrants? In America? Who can imagine such a thing? Well, you'd think former Governor and Ambassador John Sununu would understand about the immigrant experience, but apparently not. That's what I get for not reading TFA: "He has no idea how the American system functions, and we shouldn't be surprised about that, because he spent his early years in Hawaii smoking something, spent the next set of years in Indonesia, another set of years in Indonesia," he said. "And, frankly, when he came to the U.S. he worked as a community organizer, which is a socialized structure, and then got into politics in Chicago." I take it back. You're a dick, Sununu. |

Shorter John Sununu: "Vote for the moon god-worshiping teetotaler. After all, what's more American than that?" |

Which totally justifies acting like retard birthers and using someone's ethnicity to attack them. |

I think you might need to read what Sununu said about Obama. I did. He's a dipshiat. Now, answer me this. How is attacking Sununu's ethnicity any better? |
||
| BunkoSquad Aarontology: Which totally justifies acting like retard birthers and using someone's ethnicity to attack them. Is anybody attacking Sununu for having mixed ethnicity? It looks to me more like people are giving him crap because he can't or won't understand how his mixed ethnicity makes him a good American while the President's mixed ethnicity makes him a scary Other. |

If what Sununu said was an attack on Obama's ethnicity, then what these people are saying is an attack on Sununu's. |

| what_now Aarontology: Which totally justifies acting like retard birthers and using someone's ethnicity to attack them. No, that's not what we're doing at all. No one is saying it's BAD to be of Palestinian and Greek descent with roots Latin America. No one is saying that Ambassador Sununu isn't very American. Look, Sununu was welcomed in farking New Hampshire, which has less coloring than an Irish nun's ass, and he never made a secret of his ethnicity or heritage. But he's attacking Obama "not being American enough" because of his ethnicity. |

But he's attacking Obama "not being American enough" because of his ethnicity. Sununu wasn't saying it was Obama's ethnicity that didn't make him American. It was that he was raised partially outside of the country and because he smoked weed, and because he didn't grind poor people into paste in Chicago. The "otherness" factor is the result of that, not race. It's still a dipshiat ignorant thing to say. Screaming racist at every goddamned thing only contributes to the pathetic teabagger persecution complex, and enforces intellectual laziness because it's a handy excuse you can just mindlessly parrot. It's like how the mouthbreathers on the right scream socialism at everything, including their own ideas. |

||
| JerseyTim I love the fact that John Sununu, who was forced to resign as Chief of Staff for George H.W. Bush, is a prominent Romney surrogate. |
||
| Aarontology cameroncrazy1984: Except, you know, being Cuban-born, Sununu is the same way. How long did he live in Cuba? |
||
| what_now Aarontology: Sununu wasn't saying it was Obama's ethnicity that didn't make him American. Maybe not to people who understand nuance and such, but that wasn't his audience. The bottom line is, the Romney campaign tried to dog whistle about Obama being an "other" and can't even do that right. |

What the wheezing fark is a "socialized structure," and why is it bad? |

Not when "he came back to the US". "When he came to the US". This douchebag is playing to the birther retards by not-so-subtlely implying that Hawaii is not a part of the United States. |

| I_C_Weener what_now: No, he goes with the half Muslim half Hispanic dude who was born in Cuba. I don't think you can be half-Muslm and half-Hispanic. Isn't that like being half-Catholic and half-Japanese? |

Well, you're not going to get any disagreements from me that the Romney campaign is amateur hour. With that much money, you'd think they could hire a pro, tighten up the message and at least try to run a better campaign than McCain. |

| Aarontology cameroncrazy1984: How long did Obama live in Indonesia? Through elementary school at least, right? A couple of years in any case. cameroncrazy1984: Also, Sununu is implying that Hawaii is not part of the US. I missed that part, actually. I_C_Weener: With that much money, you'd think they could hire a pro, tighten up the message and at least try to run a better campaign than McCain. Is he using his own money this time around? I suppose it wouldn't matter since he's been raking in a lot of contributions. It should be interesting to see if he changes staff after the convention when the real campaign begins. |
||
| gilgigamesh I_C_Weener: Doesn't Hawaii still have a king? So does Louisiana. Of course I could be confusing reality with "True Blood" again. |

It should be interesting to see if he changes staff after the convention when the real campaign begins. I don't know, but the people from the old guard he is using are losers like Sununu. He needs Karl Rove, or at least someone who can act as the top-down leader of the campaign. Romney is a flip flopper looks a lot more real when even his supporters and staff can't keep their positions straight. One message on his agenda, every day. One poke at Obama every day. This is the Clinton way. Well, Skeletor from Clinton's campaigns anyway. |

They'll have to do better than that. Remember that when the Clintons were at the height of their power, Obama dismantled the Clinton machine and assimilated it like Obama was the Borg and Clinton was Whoopi "Guinan" Goldberg. |
