Freakouts of the Right

My daffy landlord has said that before. He’s vague on where the Obamas’ daughters come from, though.

Bastard spawn of Barack and Hillary.

A couple more from 2004 spring to mind;

  • Ted Koppel is unpatriotic for reading the names of the Iraq war dead on Nightline
  • The right boycotts ketchup because they think John Kerry’s wife owns Heinz
  • Kerry’s wife is from another country and therefore unsuited to be First Lady
  • Swift Boat Veterans for Truth
  • Kerry owns a yacht
  • Kerry says “more and more leaders” are endorsing him, Fox News hears “foreign leaders” and is aghast that foreigners would dare endorse a presidential candidate
  • Kerry orders a Philly cheesesteak with Swiss cheese
  • The Constitution needs to be amended so Arnold Schwarzenegger can run for president

Waitaminnit! I’ve been following this thread, and I suddenly notice that it’s in the Pit now. When did that happen?

Old news. The Constitution needs to be amended so Elon Musk can run for president.

Twenty more (some suggested here already):

Avocado toast as an example of Millennial ‘waste’ Bundy/BLM Large crowd sizes at 2017 inaugral Banning lead buckshot Shut up and dribble!
Michelle Obama is a man Release the Memo! RINO 's Tide Pods Obama’s plan to wind down AFG coincided with election
Ted Koppel didn’t read names of Iraqi war dead on nightline (2004) Boycotting Heinz Ketchup because of John Kerry’s wife. Swift Boat Veterans for Truth Amend the Constitution so that Arnold S/Elon M can be President! Patriot Act
Shoe inspections on airplanes No Child Left Behind(?) Immediate, negative reactions to ANYONE who criticized Trump, including the Pope. The War on Terror Iraq has nuclear weapons

Might replace NCLB, hence the question mark.

Guys and gals, we have hit 150. :partying_face: :tada:

Five more before lunch…

1 2 3 4 5
John Kerry’s wife is a foreigner and can’t be First Lady Melania Trump is an inspiration as a foreign-born First Lady Jill Biden is NOT a ‘Doctor’. (She is. Just not a medical doctor.) Laura Bush did what? Well, she’s right with Jesus NOW… The Sarah Palin Experience. All of it.

Operation Fast and Furious

Oh, god, no. We’ve already had one narcissistic, profit driven buffoon in the office. We don’t need another one.

Has anyone mentioned Common Core yet?

Not yet, but it will be added!

A terrorist fist jab?

Arnold Schwarzenegger is not in the good graces of the right nowadays. So I would modify that “Amend the Constitution so that Arnold S/Elon M can be President!”

This one about masks and vaccines was from August 2022)

One can say that all that is another freakout of the right, he is now a RINO according to many right-wingers.

(And I do freak out still when I consider that we live in a timeline where Arnold Schwarzenegger turned to be one of the smarter Republicans in recent history.)

Another freakout of the Right that we haven’t mentioned yet: Greta Thunberg.

… and David Hogg. And the 1619 Project, as well as Nikole Hannah-Jones, its creator.

You come up with one, and three more are pulled from memory.

Whoops, make that Arnold tirade against anti-maskers and anti-vaccine guys to be from 2021.

And even earlier, Arnold talked about things that are like Kryptonite to many right-wingers nowadays, like why one should help others in need, noticing that no one is really a self-made man or woman.

“You didn’t build that”! Good one!

Great thread idea, @JohnT! The collection is already amazing. The inevitable conclusion: the Right is bat-shit insane.

P.S.- Skritches to Luna! :dog:

Does “cocaine orgies” count? What about “I have a wide stance”?

I know it’s my list, but still looking for audience advice.

  • Windmills
  • “Sanctuary cities”
  • Nick Sandmann
  • Loathing David Hogg and his fellow Stoneman Douglas HS classmates for having the temerity to be upset about their school being shot up (loathing the victims of pretty much any mass shooting, really)
  • National Butterfly Center
  • Mail-in ballots
  • Stem cell research
