3. Cool! Thanks!

[Luminous Animal]

9. Maybe you could add them to you OP. Many people don't read past it.

[progree]

44. Holy buckets, you are on Trending Now. Probably helped by that alert and the attention it got

[Buns_of_Fire]

79. Their List of Demands sounds reasonable enough:

1. Accept and embrace Trickle-Down Economics
2. Deport Elizabeth Warren
3. Unite the Banks. We want a Uniter, not a Divider
4. De-regulate…everything
5. Privatize Social Security
6. Promise at least 1 profitable new war each year
7. Shift tax burden even more from top 1% to…those other people
8. Raise the Minimum Voting Income from $0 to no less than $15 million
9. Did we mention deregulation?
10. Never mention the words “Income” and “Inequality” in the same sentence again

(I've missed the "Billionaires for Bush" people. It's nice to see that the spirit has just been in suspended animation for a while.)

[LWolf]

2. I was waiting to see who would bring this to GDP.

I'll say it again and again: Bernie not only has the right message, and the right record, his campaign is the most fun of any I've seen. Ever.

[Fawke Em]

6. Easy to have fun when your candidate speaks the truth!

[seabeyond]

10. Sure, reinforces his respect to women like his playboy article and rape fantasy story. I see tgat. N

[beam me up scottie]

19. Pfffft.

This boobie wearer isn't buying what you're selling.

[Doctor_J]

49. must remain outraged.

Must read sexism, misogyny, and patriarchy into every utterance.

[beam me up scottie]

51. Even against other feminists.

How dare we say boobs?

[Enthusiast]

55. Yup!

Misogyny! [URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

[hifiguy]

87. Always.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar and a joke is just a joke.

Unless you are a terminally sanctimonious and humorless prig who flyspecks every post on DU for something to be outraged about. The phrase "get a life" comes to mind.

[MrMickeysMom]

22. Pfftt!

Is that the best you can do? Try to get people to think about fantasizing rape? Man… that is sick.

Hey, I got a fake moon landing story that I think you can embellish more with that creative mind-set!

26. You know that a "boob" is also a foolish person, right?

Besides, he didn't make this up nor did his campaign.

A fun-loving group of folks did - as you can see in the video.

[beam me up scottie]

31. "Besides, he didn't make this up nor did his campaign."

Now you know facts are irrelevant.

[Fawke Em]

41. Oops... though.

That should have been "didn't."

I'll go correct mine.

[Enthusiast]

56. They're like the Merry Pranksters.

[passiveporcupine]

100. And there is this

[WillyT]

40. So How Do You Feel About 'Every Sperm Is Sacred' By Monty Python ???

Most of us are adults here, and there are MANY things funny about sex, and sexuality.

TRUE... Rape ain't one of them... most of us got that, a long time ago.

But I also tend to ignore the prudes among us.

[beam me up scottie]

47. Besides Bernie doesn't fantasize about rape.

She should be ashamed for still desperately pushing that meme.

It's the level of absurdity as calling him a pedophile.

[Aerows]

46. I'm a strong feminist

Which also means I have an education and enough political savvy to know that the "rape fantasy story" was just that - a story in someone's fantasy attempting to discredit him as a politician.

"Nobody honestly believes that Bernie Sanders is a sexual pervert or that he is a misogynist or that he intends to do women any harm. Nobody suspects that he harbors a secret desire to pass intrusive legislation or to cut gang rapists a break. Really, there is only one reason that anyone would make hay of this story, and that is to damage the man politically."

The loony Right Wing National review agrees.

This article states it plainly.

Parroting talking points that have been repeatedly debunked (OMG, Obama is a Muslin! OMG, Obama was born in Kenya!1one1!) helps no one in the political sphere, because it sullies the debate down to character assassination, outright lies and phony stories designed to take swipes at a candidate while keeping a politicians "hands clean".

[beam me up scottie]

48. ***THIS***

Bookmarking for the next time they pull that dirty trick.

[Enthusiast]

57. Way to go, Aerows!

[seabeyond]

70. not really. just sophmoric, whatever it is. i was standing in line during dinner, and read the

Last edited Sun Aug 30, 2015, 01:47 AM - Edit history (1)

headline. and then the ever present giggle whenever boob is said. kinda like saying fart to a couple four year olds.

i have not seen the video or have any interest

[nadinbrzezinski]

96. So how about this one? Same group informing people in a funny way

Or the billionaires for Bush? Same group. It is called street theater. theirs is a fine way of doing things and have nada, nothing, not one thing to do with any campaign. Their names are getting more creative though.

Their use of boob stands for...wait for it...not a women's hyper sexualized mammary gland in the United States, but fool or idiot. It's in Webster's and everything by the way.

And don't tell me this is about women's sexualized mammary glands. That is, once again, your imagination.

[seabeyond]

97. not interested. i thought i just said that?

[nadinbrzezinski]

98. I am just telling you that you are wrong

and this has nada, nothing, not one thing whatsoever, nyet, nope to with any campaign.

That is your chosen outrage of the day

[AlbertCat]

77. reinforces his respect to women

Yes, because he personally came up with this idea all by himself and is the one who hired those people and bought their wardrobe!





You realize this is a joke.... like Billionaires for Bush.... right?


Please stop with the RW talking points! And try to get a sense of humor. Life is better with one.

[nadinbrzezinski]

93. This requires a link

http://www.billionairesforbush.com/

Gad I forgot exactly what they were, and lord knows I was there for one of the street theater events for Obamacare...my dears, you really do not need to worry, really.

[nadinbrzezinski]

81. Do you need to get outraged over even good commedy

seriously?

And this faux outrage is not what strong feminists stand for by the way.

[hifiguy]

89. For some, outrage is like crack.

Fiercely addictive.

[nadinbrzezinski]

91. I guess, my adiction is scanner traffic

during heat waves... but it has a use... (thankfully no fires)

But this is kind of ridicolous. I see the "billionaires" are back and I cannot wait for more street theater.

[Enthusiast]

54. Bernie is a blast!

[beam me up scottie]

4. !

[Fawke Em]

8. I'm leaving this up to see how soon my husband notices the thread title.

[beam me up scottie]

11. Trust me, EVERYONE will notice it.

Well done!

[Doctor_J]

50. I clicked on it thinking it was a Kate Upton appreciation thread

This is almost as good

[AtomicKitten]

5. That is awesome.

[MerryBlooms]

7. Awesome.

[Fawke Em]

13. LMAO!

Someone alerted this?

I mean, I realize the use of the word, "boobs," MIGHT be offensive... to a middle schooler, but, even so, I didn't make up the acronym. The Billionaires & Oligarch's Opposing Bernie Sanders did.

[progree]

14. Google: define:boobs (dun dun dun dee dun (suspense music) )

In Google, type in:
define:boobs

boob
bo͞ob
informal
noun
plural noun: boobs

1. NORTH AMERICAN
a foolish or stupid person.
"why was that boob given a key investigation?"

2. BRITISH
an embarrassing mistake.

Edited to add:
3. DEMOCRATICUNDERGROUND
yet another misogynist attack by Bernie and his supporters on women

[L0oniX]

43. Ya missed one. "chicken" is also misogynist and sexist.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=530253

[progree]

45. No man has ever been called "chicken"??? Maybe its a regional thing, I dunno

Maybe I watch too much All Star Wrestling.

[marym625]

16. I have boobs

I like boobs. They're very enjoyable. And this is hilarious. As is the alert and the one response, so far, that tried to say Bernie doesn't respect women. But I guess understanding both satire and different times in recent history is hard.

[beam me up scottie]

21. This PROVES he's a misogynist.

Or something.

[marym625]

24. EXACTLY!

No two ways about it.



Oh, I get it! He likes boobs! There ya go!

[hay rick]

27. You said "no two ways" about it.

[marym625]

29. yes I did! Damn it!

It's three way or no way!

Wait. Is that right?

[hay rick]

33. "Three way"?

At least you didn't say Third Way. Those sicko billionaires would really like that.

[marym625]

39. LOL!

[Fawke Em]

28. We spend the entire month of October donning pink, painting

ta-tas and discussing how best to "handle" them!

I'm gonna go with: everybody likes boobs!

[marym625]

35. just as long as you handle them!

[WillyT]

30. Eh... If You Seen One, You've Seen Em' Both...

[marym625]

36. Oh, Willy,

You may have seen them both but not all!

[L0oniX]

38. LOL

[Fawke Em]

42. LOL!!!

[progree]

18. Well, besides laughs, you got a few extra kicks and views out of that alert

[Fawke Em]

32. It's funny.

I'm female and I didn't find it offensive at all.

[progree]

20. Maybe a few extra RECs too!

[beam me up scottie]

15. LOL! That just makes this thread even better.

I knew someone would alert.

Good jury.

[Le Taz Hot]

17. It's an Alert Fest today!

I just got one Alerted on and it wasn't even the one I expected would get Alerted on. I didn't get a unanimous, though, only a 6-1 to Leave it. Good job, jury!

[MrMickeysMom]

23. I wonder who alerted?

Oh, never mind…

[marym625]

25. ..

[99th_Monkey]

34. Seriously? Someone needs to re-boot their sense of humor. -nt-

[Oilwellian]

52. For a moment I thought you wrote "re-boob"

Seriously though, I just wanted to say boob too.

[Warren DeMontague]

62. I imagine they just about lost their shit when they heard about "Deez Nuts"

[99th_Monkey]

69. Creative humor is a slippery slope indeed

We can't be too careful

[L0oniX]

37. That "go sit in the corner" (0-7 to LEAVE IT) is getting a lot of action lately.

[dflprincess]

58. I would vote for this to be named the "Stupidest Alert Ever on DU"

And there have been some really stupid alerts lately.

[kath]

71. Boy, there is some really, really stiff competition for that award lately.

The height of ridiculousness.

[Warren DeMontague]

61. Ouch. That's 24 hours with no button privleges, for that alerter.

[840high]

68. She'll be crushed. heehee

[hifiguy]

90. The Derp is incredibly strong with that alerter.

[Autumn]

53. This OP is awesome

and the thread is a blast. Thanks I think we needed this.

Bernie Bounce!

[beam me up scottie]

64. *alert*

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

Bouncing boobies, 4 of them !!11!

[DashOneBravo]

59. This has been the best thread

[LWolf]

78. Yes, and

that video is addicting.

[Enthusiast]

60. K&R! This post should have hundreds of recommendations!

[Autumn]

65. Now that's what I call a knock out set of Boobies!!!

[PatrickforO]

66. That's pretty funny.

Because the billionaires and oligarchs ARE boobs.

[lovemydog]

72. If we get a Boobs / Deez Nutz pairing

I may contribute!

[beam me up scottie]

73. Now THAT would make one hell of a bumpersticker!

[beam me up scottie]

There you go!

You could make some money with that one!

[lovemydog]

76. I think so too.

Plus it would get a lot of honks.

[hifiguy]

92. DUzy

[nadinbrzezinski]

80. Same street theater with obamacare

it was amazing. At one time we participated and went to a tea party rally, they actually believed (for a while) that we were the real thing, and were on their side.

[boston bean]

82. Some people need to grow up. nt

[Warren DeMontague]

84. I believe it was the philosopher John Cougar Mellencamp who once said

"growing up leads to growing old and then to dying. And dying, to me, don't sound like all that much fun."

[LWolf]

85. lol

It's "grownup" to deny the reality of corporate control of the nation?

[nadinbrzezinski]

99. Some people need to get a sense of humor

over good street theater. These are the same guys and gals by the way

[Autumn]

83. Yep, still awesome.

[beam me up scottie]

86. It sure is!

[LWolf]

94. I can't get it out of my head.
