Heads Explode in Freeperville

Dale Earnhardt., Jr. tells his pit crew to go see Michael Moore's movie. From the freepi:


Verbatim from Chris Myers (Fox Sports announcer) on today's race at Pomona pre-race program..

"You think you know Dale Earnhardt Jr.? He advised his crew to go see the Michael Moore movie Farenheit 911. He said hey, it'll be a good bonding experience no matter what your political belief. It's a good thing as an American to go see... and it just shows you that Dale Earnhardt Jr. can reach far beyond the steering wheel."

Big thank you to Eschaton!

1. This is big

I'll be a lot of their heads will explode over this.

[DenverDem]

2. OK, now I believe the tipping point is approaching.

Turning the NASCAR dads.

Morans, your time is up.

8. Although most Nascar fans are Repug...

I wouldn't assume the new players are. Dale Jr is more hip and is into things like rap music. Not your good ole boy Hank Williams type...Although he might act like it at the events...

3. So that's what that was...

Thought it was a small plane flying overhead (I live under a flightpath into Reno-Tahoe International) but there wasn't anything in the sky. :)

23. Reno Tahoe flight path

I'm in Lake Tahoe welcome to DU

4. This is HUGE

[FizzFuzz]

5. I think this is great--he can communicate to a demographic

that probably most of us can't. I just can't picture NASCAR freeps wanting to listen to little old very-non-car-or-other-macho-sports oriented me share my opinions.

6. 1st post - don't kill me

oh gosh, that's just GREAT! I knew someone in NASCAR would debunk the supposed belief that NASCAR is solidly Rethuglican!

Saw F911 by the way, oh my gosh... nearly all of it is great, I'm just upset there wasn't another minute of Bush screw ups in a montage culminating with him picking his nose (which I saw in 90)(and supposedly eating???? it?), Anyone got video for that?

God bless,
d-man

7. A first post welcome to DU!

16. Remember DAYTONA!!!!

All those NASCAR fans flipping Bush the bird as he took his "victory lap".

What about the St Louis cards game where they had to pump applause over the loudspeaker system to drown out all the boos from the crowd???

[Th1onein]

18. Welcome, Dallan!

[TacticalPeek]

11. Atrios' comment thread has a contact link for Dale Jr.

It's from the freepunk thread, so we better weigh in and thank him to keep the scales from tippng over.

[leesa]

13. Bless Him! Anyone that watches it will not avoid being affected by it.

I think most will realize we've been HAD by our gov.

[qanda]

17. Someone had the bad taste to say this

Yo, Dale! You know what your daddy and Pink Floyd had in common?

The last big hit either of them had was The Wall.

19. I can't resist posting some of the hilarious freeper responses:

Did you just hear them say that on Fox? that Dale Earnhardt Jr. says that, politics aside, everyone should see Farenheit 911?

What's up with that? Frankly, I expect better from Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Fox. I'm shocked, annoyed and irritated. They better take that one back. They don't know who they're messing with. We need to find out what's going on here. I am definitely pissed.

Instant karma, if this is what he said. I'll no longer wish for his win.

How Dare the Kerry Campaign exploit not only Dale Jr. but the memory of his father by asking him to speak for Kerry to NASCAR Dads.

(personal note: WTF??? lol)

If we ruined the careers of the Dixie Chicks we can ruin the careers of Michael Moore and Dale Jr.

(personal note: didn't the record sales of the Dixie Chicks go UP?)

[qanda]

20. "didn't the record sales of the Dixie Chicks go UP?"

I thought the exact same thing when I read that. I'm thinking about giving them my name so they can "ruin" my career.

[Fleshdancer]

21. and you know MM better watch out!

you can tell the freeps are already attempting to destroy him...his documentary pulled in over 20 million dollars on its opening weekend in only 860 theaters. Those assholes are ruthless! lol

I hope they ruin me as well. I could use the extra spending money.

[DeepModem Mom]

22. Whoa.........!!!

[Sweetpea]

24. GO NASCAR

[Cocoa]

25. a pretty witty response from one of the Freepers

"well, he does make left turns for a living."

I have to admit, that made me chuckle. :-)
