The Michele Bachmann foot in mouth thread

Fail for total lack of originality. Been hearing this one since about the 5th grade, except instead of "Obama", you inserted your favorite racist euphemism.

 

Nah, that's actually pretty funny.

 

You're thinking of the lady who walks on the bus carrying a pig. Totally different joke.

Did you hear the one about the fat ass who preaches nutition then wolfs down a 1500 calorie burger?

 

No, I absolutely am not. Change "Obama" to an offensive term for blacks, and "Kenya" to "Africa" and bam!

Sorry to burst your bubble.

No, but I probably wouldn't get it since I don't know what "nutition" is.

 

Well, hell, I could do that to Mary had a Little Lamb if I wanted to. But let me follow your suggestion:

A coon walks into a bar with a parrot on his head. The bartender says "where'd you get that?" The parrot replies "Africa, they're all over the place"

Nope. Doesn't work. You see, Obama and Kenya are necessary to the joke's timely humor. It's not a hateful racist joke. It's an Obama joke. But go ahead and pander to the minorities and show them how liberal you are if it makes you feel good. I'm sure they will all appreciate your efforts.

Gotta head to the cleaners. Sheets are ready.:dis:

 

"shotgun willie sits around in his underwear....."

 

It's actually both, and you know it.

Please explain to the group how perpetuating a racist joke qualifies as "pandering to the minorities". Who, exactly, am I calling racist? You're like a Fox News See N Say.

But there's really no need to get your feelings so hurt there, Nancy. Are you out of Midol?

 

As my hero would say, don't tell me what I know.

You are not perpetuating it, although it wasn't racist. You are being Mike Stivic. You are jumping out in front and damning any potential racist implication lest you be thought of as racist by silently accepting it. You are saying "Hey black people. Look at me. I'm on your side." martin can explain this phenomenon much better than I can.

 

seems pretty clear it is a typo and the word meant was "nutrition". how you could possibly not know that. the only other option is you did know, you were just being an ass. yunno typos are not like poor spelling. spelling you can tell a fella and help him learn to spell. typos are just a result of being human and do not require callouts.
