Who, the guy who just got on the helicopter? Nah. Why waste your time?

No, the new guy. Is it okay if I insinuate that he should be killed on a TV comedy show, or make fun of his dialect? Because, you know, dissent is patriotic and all.

Way to paint with the broad implication brush. Not everyone who disliked former President Bush also approved of the the kind of treatment he got.

That said, yes. You can. This is still America, after all.

Though, if you do so right now, I'll accuse you of spite and bitterness. Let the man make his own mistakes before you begin to mock him.

Thanks. I was afraid that people might object if I dissented against the new President in the same way most of the dissenters did under the previous administration, such as by implying that the president was/is a drughead or that he got his Harvard degree by other than honest means. I'll dissent with confidence from now on.

(Just wait until Muad'dib starts pushing his big Freedom To Kill Babies Real Good Act here in a few weeks. You ain't seen nothing yet!)

By all means, dissent with confidence.

Of course, if you want to show real class, you will rise above the kind of low-brow mockery that Bush got and meet Obama's lucid and eloquent rhetoric with equally lucid and eloquent criticism.

Yeah, now that a Lefty's running the show, let's all be classy, lucid, and eloquent.

Your words, not mine.

I said if you want to be classy, be classy. If you want to stoop, stoop.

It's a choice you, and everyone else, can make. It has nothing to do with political alignments.

Kind of like following a good example?

[identity profile] bitpig.livejournal.com 2009-01-20 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
The example I intend to follow is that set by liberals on the Web, 2000-2008.

Real ones or the ones you kept getting told about?

I assure you, there's a reason for the question. Care to guess the answer?

*smells bait*

You and I both know the difference between dissent, parody and asshattery.

*cocks head* Do you need me to clarify that for you or something? You're losing me here. (I seriously doubt it. You're smarter than that.)

Jim's still working on mimicking the dialect, BTW. He's getting pretty good at it, actually. *snaps fingers* I've got the YouTube account now - I can show you!

That makes - *counts on fingers* - at least five presidents he can do cold. On demand. So fun? Yeah - you wouldn't be the first, last or only.

Killed on a comedy show, hmmmm. I think just about every sitcom on these days should die a horrible death - but that's just me. I don't call it 'dissent.' I call it bad television.

Killing people is never good as entertainment value. Yanno.

(Oh dear. I'm going to have to retire my WHAT icon too.)

[identity profile] bitpig.livejournal.com 2009-01-20 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It's "dissent" and "parody" unless a leftard is running the show. Then it becomes "asshattery".

Well, buckle up, comrades. I aim to misbehave.

It was asshattery when it was fashionable for 'conservatives' to use it as polite discourse, instead of the real deal.

It is what it is. And your Mamma raised you better.
