Braceletgate Update: Left, White House Actually React to Silly ‘Doubtful’ Theory
by Kyle OlsonOn Monday, I floated a theory about the purple bracelet Robert Gibbs was wearing on a couple Sunday talk shows. I wondered if it had any connection to a similar purple bracelet SEIU heavy Andy Stern had worn at some point.
The silly theory, which I called “doubtful,” solicited a reaction that surprised even me. Besides Robert Gibbs himself tweeting about it, I scored the lefty trifecta: MediaMatters, DailyKos and a blogger for Salon.com all responded.
A rash of hysterical e-mails also came through. Consider this gem:
Really Mr. Olson, REALLY? While I’m aware you wingnuts are not the brightest bulbs around, and the fact you are associated with the huge steaming pile of moron known as Breitbart indicates you are quite possibly mentally retarded…
Or this:
God, you are one dumbf–k.
Did your pal, Dickybird suck your brain out your toe?
Lastly:
Hey jackass,
Will you be doing a story about how you took Robert Gibbs wearing a bracelet in support of a little girl with cancer and twisted it into a bulls–t, partisan rant?
Partisan rant? Please. That’s the most offensive accusation leveled here. If anything, it was an American, pro-freedom pondering.
The very fact that Robert Gibbs and the radical left felt the need to respond to a theory I myself called “doubtful” shows how sensitive they are at this point. The votes don’t appear to be there for ObamaCare and they ain’t happy about it.
Or are they growing overly sensitive about their connection top White House visitor and Enforcement Czar Andy Stern?
The pressure all the above are putting on moderate Democrats is immense. SEIU has pledged to support Democratic challengers to incumbents who oppose ObamaCare. Michigan Pro-Life Democrat Bart Stupak already has an intra-party opponent. Thankfully, for the good of his country’s unborn, he at this point is standing tall. We’ll have to see if that continues to be the case or if the pressure is more than he can bear.
So Robert – or can I call you Bob? – I said a prayer with my son for the girl with cancer. But I also said a prayer for our country and that it has leaders who, like our Founding Fathers, believe rights come from our Creator and not from our government.
We’ll have to see how each are answered.

I always enjoy how they have to put down another group to insult conservatives. Nice usage of the word retarded, I'm sure nobody would feel marginalized if the insult comes from the left
Mr. Olson,
Thanks for the update. Your thread yesterday was interesting.
As it relates to this, with all the attention the White House, Bob Gibbs, Andy Stern are paying to your thread, tweeting and blogging, they sure do not exude a lot of confidence. Are you sure these are the type people WE should entrust Health Care, and 17% of the economy to?
Yhey certainly appear juvenille, and are sure worried about the court of public opinion.
Good for you Mr Olson!
Good article and it never ceases to amuse me how far into the gutter the lefts language goes..
While I may use some minor douche bag insult when addressing a troll I never result to profanity.
It just goes to prove my theory regarding the lack of intelligence by the radical left to speak without resorting to profanity to "attempt" to make an argument.
It is very pathetic behavior.
I guess, they do have THIN skin…those other trash heaps that replied well, they ALWAYS point the finger…
Remember the old saying, "Whoever denied it, supplied it'?
I think it applies here. Their itchy trigger finger and hysterical whining just show that they are not what they claim to be.
Textbook example of "doth protest too much."
>The very fact that Robert Gibbs and the radical left felt the need to respond to a theory I myself called “doubtful” shows how sensitive they are at this point. The votes don’t appear to be there for ObamaCare and they ain’t happy about it.
No such thing as bad press, huh? I guess if my blog was as sad as this one is I'd be ecstatic that people were calling me a moron too.
Enjoy your industrial medicine while you can. Like it or not, some health reform is coming. The current system has failed and changes are coming, despite the right's best attempt to salvage their stock values.
Deem and Pass folks,
Deem and Pass.
The Congressional comparison to bend over and grit your teeth.
Looks like 'poking' ole Baghdad Bob could be a full time job ….
I use the word retarded all the time. I have always told my children there is a big distinction between being a retard and being a special needs person. I'm blond I hear lots of blond jokes and I laugh at them all, if they are funny. My complaint with this whole thing is, I seriously doubt that Gibbs was wearing that bracelet for some little girl with cancer, in my humble opinion I think he is lying, Gibbs is really good at lying, he's the spokesman for the white house he has to be good at lying. If it truly is a little girl stricken with cancer, I pray they are doing more for her than Gibbs wearing a purple bracelet, he should try a little prayer or just be with her. Those bracelets to me are pointless now, they are way over-used and exposed and clearly are sending a wrong message.
"Or are they growing overly sensitive about their connection top White House visitor and Enforcement Czar Andy Stern?"
Hit the nuts on the head! That is exactly what is happening. And just like the replies from the trolls here in the message threads, they resort to name-calling, belittling, and childish behavior to try and make a statement.
…oh, and the lying!
Someone has their undies in a bundle.
Wasn't that saying "whoever smelt it, dealt it?"
Of course there some connectivity with the bracelet. You know, I know, there is some socialist commie meaning behind it. These people are tyrants and need to be subdued, tried for treason, and done with as we would with enemy spies. We don't have long to do it either.
Just liberal "girly men" having a grand ole' time trying to ruin our great nation!!
Three classic examples of the literary and intellectual stylings of the left.
Well let's be realistist. Libs are great at calling people morons but the simple fact is that to be a liberal is to be a moron. Liberalism does not work – 10,000 years of history proves it. If you believe liberalism will work, you are a mental midget. I'm sorry if that offends anyone but it's just a fact.

Progs are so easy to rile up. All you have to do is catch them being themselves and they go crazy, call you vile names, blah, blah, blah. You have to admit though, when irritated, they do rally around each other like a cage full of monkeys picking bugs off each other.
Ha, I haven't been here in a while, but coming back to see this is just hilarious. So some partisan hacks have been reduced to floating farcical theories about purple bracelets. No surprise, though. Republican establishment types are turning everything they can into a political talking point for the faithful parrots to repeat. Oh no, but it's an "American, pro-freedom pondering." Geez, that's pathetic. Instead of clawing desperately for something to distill into a pseudoconservative sound bite, try producing a rational, fact-based analysis free of shallow partisan ideology. Then you might actually attract people instead of driving them away with nonsense.
Well said.
"God, you are one dumbf–k."
Tsk tsk. Who is this clown calling the Almighty a bad word. For shame, lowbrow. This loser gets a seat closer and closer to the front of the plane on his one-way trip to Hell.
Anyway, thanks for the update Mr. O. These Regressives are UNHINGED!
Frankly, if this is all Bob Gibbs and the White House have to focus on, we are all in trouble. Perhaps little distractions like this could be used to Alinskey them into insanity……….
Weren't the cancer bracelets made popular by Lance Armstrong yellow? Why the change in color to purple, the color of SEIU evil? And most important…how does wearing a purple bracelet help a little girl with cancer? This is just like the democrats saying they support the troops yet hardly any of their actions prove this.
It's doubtful, of course, but my theory is that all teabaggers are old white supremacists.
It's like touching a vampire with a cross. It makes their skin sizzle.
Attract people? If you're talking about brainwashing, well then that's the domain of the Left. For example, see: You.
Obama has been wearing his purple tie lately too!
Watch this clip, and realize that this is what we want to avoid from happening within our government. This is what tyranny will look like.

LOL yeah OK, not all of us are old, not all of us are white what we seem to have in common is our ability to see the handwriting on the wall and currently I believe I am reading WE ARE SCR3WED
I'm still snickering at rich, powerful, presumably adult men going on TV wearing pastel plastic bracelets, and not as some sort of comedy sketch or MTV gender-bender schlock. Sure, I loved my jelly bracelets, spent a lot of "riding my bike around picking up pop cans" money on them….when I was an 8 year-old girl.
Why Mr. Olson, I think you have managed to PISS them OFF!
Keep up your good work!
Remember to vote in Nov. 2010 and 2012
Secret society… behind closed door meetings…. votes that are non-votes, yep… just another reason to not be them.
Amazing. They won't respond to accusations of being marxists, socialists, or communists, but they'll respond to a self-proclaimed "doubtful" remark about them being related to SEIU.
This administration is doing us a huge favor by letting us know which stuff to focus on. Whatever the White House and liberal bloggers emphatically tell us to ignore, we know that it's true.
And how about that "retarded" comment? Would they seriously let that fly if Sarah Palin had said it? Of course not. After all, their command-in-chief is the ultimate portrait of sensitivity to the mentally handicapped, comparing an off-day at the bowling alley to the Special Olympics.
It's more akin to them championing the green environmental movement while flying around the country in jets, driving SUVs, and bleeding thousands and thousands of kWh of energy at their various mansions. I'm sure they'll design a bracelet to indicate how many "carbon credits" they've purchased.
Whatever phony symbol it takes to mitigate their guilt.
your welcome for the numbers….lol
Have you seen the idiot that goes by "CHRISTIAN SOLDIER" on here yet?
He claims that inquiring into the B.Os history is against God!
Check out the thread where I start off with "Executive order 13489 says it all.." it goes beyond stupidity and comes straight from the Marx Stream Media propaganda machine!
Give it a check for a wonderful laugh…
If it is such a baseless act why even react to it? Could it be that you are having doubts about what is happening in our country? The people who are upset with the govt is growing each and every day, it is no longer about liberals and conservatives. It has become about what the founding fathers intended and what the progressives are doing to destroy this country. The bigger govt gets the less freedoms we citizens have. Most likely you won't even respond because you follow what your idols do, you make a comment and then run for the hills before anyone can catch you.
Everyone knows that these bracelets are worn in support of unfortunate poeple who are having issues.
Can you toss on a bracelet for America? We are afflicted with an economy stifling disease known as the "threat of Obamacare". The president has basically put our country in limbo ,economically, with the insistence on ruling our lives and helping the Unions (which were good at a certain time in our history, very bad now – re: example uncompetetive Detroit) that we now despise.
i though it was the prostate cancer awareness bracelet… http://www.bumperstickermagnet.com/wristbands-pro...
hook, line, and sinker. this administration doesn't even qualify as amateur. i think of them and picture a bunch of gollums. if we can escape unscathed and never repeat the same mistake thats 0bama than this admin. will have served its purpose.
Wow. That bracelet actually represents everything that the Obamacare campaign is about: SEIU (color); Baby Human Shields; and Medical Sob Stories. We are talking synthesis on an epic scale.
Thanks for confirming that Gibb-sie.
The use of profanity is proof of a weak mind…They have no argument, so they resort to profanity…Also,
those that protest the loudest are usually the guilty ones…I feel Gibbs was signaling Stern, that he had
nothing to worry about as Obumble got his orders……..lol
Kyle Olson keep them rattled!!……..Great job!!….Hate that you had to put up with their
offensive language, but am proud that you got them so rattled…..
“On Monday, I floated a theory about the purple bracelet Robert Gibbs was wearing on a couple Sunday talk shows. I wondered if it had any connection to a similar purple bracelet SEIU heavy Andy Stern had worn at some point.”
I wonder if Andy Stern’s bracelet was in support of someone with cancer?
Please don’t explode on me Libs; I don’t mean to offend anybody by possibly completing the connection, but wouldn’t that still be a connection? …Just thinking…
Sarah Palin wears a bracelet and receives untold unfounded attacks from the Left:
"By putting her son's name on a bracelet reserved to fallen soldiers, Sarah Palin "killed" her alive son. It is tasteless, disrespectful."
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/2/10/835913/-S...
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/2/10/1628/8033...
You just question Gibbs on his Andy Stern look alike bracelet and are deemed moronic, partisan and retarded…
Nasty bunch aren't they?
Speaking of sad blogs, you might want to run back to those basement bloggers on the left. I'm sure they're furiously blogging about this blog. And furiously typing… one-handed, of course.
Nope. Most real "teabaggers" (and I use the term here in the sexual sense it came from) are leftists living in SF, LA and NY. I'm guessing the majority of those that support small government and the freedoms that this country were founded upon do not teabag. However, if they do, and if they support a governement based on the US Constitution, they're welcome here in my book. Of note twinespc, I am a "white" male, but am married to a woman of hispanic decent–I'm certainly not a racist. I'm sure there are racist on both sides of the political spectrum, but believing in the Republic and the Constitution do not make one a racist. In fact, I think you'll see more racially motivated comments on liberal blogs than you'll see here (except for the leftist racists that come on this site and attack Israel and a few more overtly racist folks [again alligned to the left]).
Hey Baggee, how ya doin’?
And I can't wait to see you pathetic, whining, lazy good-for-nothings cryin' in the streets when you find out just how bad it's going to be. I don't know where you get off thinking that those of us that work should pay your way because you're too much of a failure to pay your own. Let me guess, you went to college and majored in something that ended with "studies". Typical entitlement attitude. What pray tell will you and all your lazy-a$$ counterparts do when those that refuse to carry their own weight outnumber those who do and we all end up with nothing? Because see I can back that statement up with facts, figures and history because it's been tried in different countries all over the world and has failed. Time after time after time after time after time. Over and over again. What makes you idiots think it will work here? You people refuse to crack a book and learn anything other than how to point fingers and blame everyone else for your useless lives instead of trying to actually DO something with your lives. It's so much easier to just sit and cry, smoke some weed or crack, whine some more about how life is so unfair to you instead of getting off your duff and getting a freaking JOB like a responsible citizen. That's too HARD. When the feces finally hits the rotary oscillator, you will be food for my family because you are weak.
I just found him. Funny stuff!
Gee, that's a pretty heavy reaction to a bunch of radical wing nuts who aren't "really" the majority in the country. You'd think we put naked women on a billboard, or disrupted a church service.
Oh wait, that's the actual fringes of society. All of this controversy was because someone did something really radical and politically incorrect….and asked a question about his government and its connection to unions.
Everyone is Joe the Plumber nowadays, huh?
Yeah, that's what's sick about all of this. Of course they intended a dual meaning and want to rub it in our faces. When I saw them exploiting that little boy who lost his mother, my blood was boiling!
Way to double down on your idiocy. The #1 way to identify a hack.
First you say that it's "no longer about liberals and conservatives" then you say "what the progressives are doing to destroy this country." Irrespective of that contradiction, it's thought-stopping cliches like the one you just stated that serve no purpose in fixing things. I agree there are big problems but just saying "big government" and blaming "progressives" is really missing the point. Look to the Federal Reserve and Keynesian economics (which dictates government spending and debt during recession), look to the totally corrupt relationship between the big industries and their Congressional lackeys (in both parties). Look beyond the talking points, man.
Phones are off the hook according to Cavuto on Fox right now.
I know that many people wear those bracelets to support various causes and there are only so many distinguishable colors to choose from. As another poster commented on, yellow is a cancer support color as well as pink for breast cancer. Why do we need to add in the ironic color purple into the mix?
I was doubtful when you first wrote about this as a bad coincidence, but now after the reaction, I think there is more to it and they feel as if their hand was caught in a cookie jar.
This is what I'm paying Gibbs to do? Waste time tweeting about a comment someone made about him? Get a life, Bobbie. Nobody really gives a damn about your matching tie and bracelet. Heaven help us. This is the level of professionalism in our White House employees? What an embarrassment.
So it's your contention that the Cancer Awareness Society is in on a conspiracy to send coded messages to union leaders?
I think there is a separation between liberals and progressives, but for the sake of this conversation I can lump them together. The bigger govt becomes the more we all have to pay in taxes to support it, how does taking more money from the people who are actually producing something going to help the economy? We can not spend our way out of this economy, we need to make hard decision on what programs we can afford and what programs we can not afford.
That's because that's what you want to believe or you just believe the MSM talking heads and Nancy P. As my nickname indicates I'm not white nor am I old. I have 3 family members currently serving in the military, 1 police officer, 1 firefighter, 2 who work in the educational system and 2 in the federal branch of government and can tell you with all honesty that to a number we all stand with these patriots!. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!!
It's disgusting.
The only effect the sob stories have, however, is to convince the rest of us that the facts do not match their claims. If they could rely on the facts, they wouldn't need sob stories.
They will stop at nothing and no underhanded tactic seems to be beneath them!
I fear they will find themselves afloat in that "steaming pile" after the next few election cycles.
They are doing more – they are trying to compromise care for everyone.
Riiight. You did this spectacular online pratfall on PURPOSE!
Progressives! Sit down and STFU!
No.
"Shut up" is not an argument, by the way.
I totally agree with your last sentence. We need to cut spending on the two major expenditures — welfare and so-called "defense." But both parties profit from the welfare-warfare state. You cannot seriously address spending and break the establishment's grip unless you address both welfare and warfare.
My theory is that all progressives are adolescent aholes who should be made to swallow their own teeth.
I said my theory was "doubtful", so why are you all jumping on me again?
"And just like the replies from the trolls here in the message threads, they resort to name-calling, belittling, and childish behavior to try and make a statement."
Unfortunately, they don't know any other way. It's difficult to make a convincing illogical statement, fraught with errors.
It's called an "object lesson". Now, go back and report to your dark overlords.
I had done a search on wristbands on google, and while I did see cancer had some different colors and what not for various causes, none readily available seemed to match the color of these and the color seems a perfect match to SEIUs lavender. So Andy was probably handing these out during one of his numerous visits to White House staff.
Cancer is just front for the real message.
Andy and Bobby sitting in a tree…..
My vote was that it was purple to signify royalty.
Nothing is absolutely true until is is officially denied!
But think of the stories you'd hear!
H.. U.. M.. P.. I.. N.. G ……………….
Witness Van Jones who was "smeared" with —- his own words and likeness.
Good for you! Personally, I never used it much myself until I found out how politically incorrect it was. Now I throw it in whenever I get the opportunity! Mostly, I use it when assaulting the "morally retarded" – that being the ProgLib Left. I find it strangely gratifying. If that makes me a bad person, well, I think I can live with that!
SEIU purple?
Watching liberals lose their minds produces the best kind of laughter, keep it up
Better than the ones we're currently hearing? I'd better get a new battery for my bullsh1t detector.
Of course the purple bracelet is to show solidarity with the unions that own Hussein and the democrat party. At this point the Hussein admin makes no attempt at concealing its contempt of the American people, our free-market system and Constitution. The only thing these seditious leftwing bottom feeders should be wearing is a noose.
Glad I caught up with you again. Don't get me wrong…I agree with much of what you say in your posts. That is why I am compelled to point out the occasional points on which I think you are off base. I'm not "out to get you"…I'm just keeping you honest. I get a good bit of that treatment myself and I find that it makes me a better person by forcing me to periodically re-evaluate my positions. If you're not a total Libtard (which I know that you are NOT), it actually makes you even stronger. We won't agree on every issue and I'm good with that. It would be a little creepy if we did. When it gets down to the granite guts of things though, I believe we will be on the same page. And THAT is what makes this the greatest Nation in human history. Thank you for being a part of that!
I've always referred to Liberals as "functionally retarded" based on my observations of Liberal friends and family, i.e. they usually talk like know-it-alls about any subject but when it comes to applying simple logic and getting their hands dirty they invariably fail, leaving someone more capable to pick up the pieces. If you've ever 'helped' one change out an engine (or do anything mechanical) you know what I mean.
Well, since all of us 'teabaggees' aren't "white" I guess that makes you a racist punk-assed bitch fur ASSuming such.
Anybody check to see if 'TickleBoy" Massa is wearing a matching bracelet? Or maybe Rahmbu?
Well, this is the internet, and if there's one thing certain on the internet is that people act like idiots adn rage at anything.
Still, i think the phrase "A picture is worth a thousand words" comes to mind, and if you make a title like "Are birthers 100% representative of the tea party?" followed by a full article saying no, some schmuck will rant about the title. Ho-hum, another day in the interwebs…
meh, you win this time darn it!
OMG. We all know someone like that, I'm afraid. I'd still rather deal with those "useful idiots" than to have to contend with the morally retarded! They represent the truly dangerous element of society. Out of a delusional understanding of right and wrong, they are responsible for furthering this ProgLib Commie agenda. Unfortunately, it falls to us to deal with all of them. Lord! Hear our prayers and give us strength!
I am glad you caught up to me as well.
I wholeheartedly agree with what you wrote in your post.
I do not want people to agree with me. That would be an echo chamber, akin to the Oval Office.
We are not only on the same page, we are on the same team.
Rush is right. They ALWAYS telegraph what frightens them. They have no secrets. They eat their own. While certainly unintended, they certainly are TRANSPARENT.
No doubt the writers of the hysterical e-mails are also people who condemned Sarah Palin for a few notes on her hand.
Many of them suffer from rejection of objective truth and the idea of making a moral judgment is repugnant to them. They judge, nonetheless, with whatever 'moral compass' they find appealing at the time which usually leads to them siding with wrong over right, evil over good – 97.999% of the time.
These foolish libs become more on-hinged at every poke at their slimy lives. Its almost become a badge of honor for them to call you racist or dumb, their skill set at being insulting is so shallow as to mark them as having no life outside of their Ivy League craw spaces.
Typical from the left, they cannot respond without spewing diarrhea from the mouth.
While I might doubt your accuracy to within one one-thousandth of a percentage point, I must concede that you are infallibly correct in your assertion. It is truly a sad state of affairs when the inmates take over the asylum. Such events never end well. One can only hope that we find a truly American solution to the problem.
In God We Trust…………………..L4S (my new tag line!)
I look at those two pictures and think of dumb and dumber, but I don't want to give a bad name to the movie….Dumb and Dumber, maybe Tweedle Dee and Tweedle dumb?
How about Gibbs wearing a bracelet for 1LT Michael Behenna, who is now serving a sentence at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, for SERVING his country honorably????
I thought all the card carrying commies wore those purple bracelets???
Why is it that Dems always have to participate in name calling rather then give intelligent reasons that they base their opinions on? Do they believe that calling people names makes their opinion accurate? I challenge all Dems (MSNBC and Air America listeners) to listen to Republican talk radio for a week. Notice that there aren't as many screechy (Ed Shultz) voices and very little nasty name calling. It's like listening to adults try to get their point across rather than children.
Why doesn't he wear a bracelet with the name of a soldier killed in action? Oh, that would be too patriotic so he wears a bracelet depicting his support of SCIU……………..
They've been taking lessons from Rahmbo deadfish and his filthy mouth. The "R" seems to come from his mouth quite frequently too. Purple is the color of SEIU and that's what GIbbs is supporting. I'd love to see some investigation of all of them. Our government is the most corrupt I've seen. Obama owes his election to this crooked union.
The color itself, is the color of the DNR (do not resuscitate) bracelets that are placed on terminally ill patients in hospitals. Maybe this is Karma………….DO NOT RESUSCITATE…………
How DARE Gibbs exhibit concern for the desperately ill daughter of his friends?
Sissy color, isn't it?
twinespc, sit the kool aid down for just a second. Had it not been for old Abe Lincoln, well, you know the rest. But he was a republican, who really did not want the slaves to be freed. Didn't have much of a choice at the time. Everyone does know what he said about the whites and blacks tho, or do they?
Wasn't it Margaret Thatcher who said "socialism works very well, UNTIL THEY RUN OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY TO SPEND?" As a country, we are at that point, quite on purpose if you ask me. We have an administration who hates this country.
“The current system has failed and changes are coming.”
I really haven’t seen any evidence of a health care system failure, just a liberal desire to mess with it. Kind of like they did with the housing market and banks through the Fair Housing Act and Community Reinvestment Act, and we see how that went.
IN appreciation to the ones who brought him to the dance, SEIU.
uh, uh, um, um, er, er, uh, uh uh! Gibbs speaking.
Actually we are jumping on your dumb ass because we have missed you. It is fun torturing you.
the majority of voters from the last time anyone checked, at the election?
He's a bit sensitive to criticism this Olsen, why not just correct the post?
Exactly HOW are we supposed to folloe what colored rubber bracelets mean!!!???
Honestly, we need some grown ups around here. And quit it any grown man wearing a silly bracelet!
Probably paid for by the stimulus money, doncha think?
When you sell your soul to the devil, you wear whatever he tells you to.
c:Exactly HOW are we supposed to follow what colored rubber bracelets mean!!!???
Well, see, there's this wonderful thing called the Internet, where you type into a search engine phrase like "Purple Rubber Bracelet" and come up with results like this:
http://www.bumperstickermagnet.com/wristbands-hop...
http://www.bumperstickermagnet.com/purple-hope-fa...
http://www.pinmart.com/store/item.aspx?ItemId=131...
But I guess it's easier just to make up some sort of conspiracy theory about secret messages to union overlords.
"Why is it that Dems always have to participate in name calling rather then give intelligent reasons that they base their opinions on? Do they believe that calling people names makes their opinion accurate?"
"It's like listening to adults try to get their point across rather than children. "
"i got a bracelet too.." obama
No. The majority of the voters from just about any major polling organization!
Also, without the Acorn crew's assistance, I am not sure a true majority was involved anyway.
In a ddition to supporting the troops, purple is used to support those with Alzheimer's. Does it have the word MINDSTRONG on it.? Major or Jake could ask Robbie the question at a news conference.
"I said a prayer with my son for the girl with cancer."
Better watch it. I think praying pisses them off sometimes.
Or are you trying to Indoctrinate your son?
Hysterical e-mails? I thought this was the typical Liberal response to any situation. Just blow 'em off.
Hey Libs, you stay classy now.
Ah!
Douchebagger, you're back. You haven't been around for a month or so. They only roll you out for special appearances,when the stakes are high?
I'm sure you'll be chocked full of entertaining wisdom.
Where are your pards, palmtree and syntax-game?
If Blagovich is considered to be a criminal because of his actions, then so should all of his friends of the same feather of deceit!!! Can the Judicial system not see what the people are seeing, are they too busy masturbating on their robes to see the obvious corruption that the news (Information) aware American people are seeing vividly or are they just turning away from their separate power duties on purpose, violating/perverting their oath?
I like purple pansies, planted in my flowerbeds. Planted in the Whitehouse, I don't like them one DIM bit.
Maybe purple is the new red.
He said the bracelet was for the girl with cancer…. did he deny the purple tie had any connection to SEIU, ala, Obama's recent purple tie? He knew he needed an out for the use of Purple… I think the bracelet excuse was established before this interview ever took place and that the tie really was a shout out to SEIU…..
Gasp! Ginny Thomas is wearing a purple bracelet here:
http://www.latimes.com/news/nation-and-world/la-n...
Olson made a nice hit-and-run. It got a rise out of the domestic enemy. Now lets save our breath for the 100 other things actully worth yelling about.
Gibbs, thin lips, weak chin and a 'purple bracelet', not a good look for 'man'. Does Andy Stern own a coat and tie? We all 'get it'. The comrade look, communists shiek, 'man of the people', street mob[ster], more like a 'gamin'.. a street urchin… a person that will say or do anything for a buck… it's right here in this alley, don't be afraid…
What about YOUR Kevin Jennings the pervert/
Spoken like someone who practices the act! Hey butterbutt, whatcha doin` later?
Maiko, Maiko, Maiko! Don't even trouble your little liberal bleeding heart with we ignert, tabacee chawin' trailor trash. You are getting very exicted by something you claim as a certain victory for your leader. Why bother trying to convince we morons what will be sooo good for us? That is simply…well, moronic! You and your ilk really do protest too much Maiko, and besides, many of us have reached our gag point with all of you uber intelligent and uber superior folks. Please go away.
I was being generous and trying to factor in the possibility that they might get lucky from time to time, but it's highly improbable.
I'd gladly participate in the effort to drive them crazy but honestly believe it would be a very short trip.
No doubt Rancher!! WHen it is all based on deception, half-truths, and fearmongering, that is the result!
So the fact that you come in here, using words you didn't know the definition of 12 hours ago, proves what? That you're not above using cliche rhetoric yourself? That you're a hypocrite?
If you had paid attention and read the article with an open mind, you would have found that analysis you were referring to. Instead you had an agenda before you read the first word.
By the way, genius, it's the liberal ideology that's shrinking. Thankfully so.
The fact that you think it's a contradiction to seperate progressives from liberals proves, undeniably, that you are a babnling moron. Furthermore, it disqualifies you from ever being taken seriously again.
I have doubts of my own. I doubt you live anywhere but inside your parents house. I doubt you can for a coherent argument with facts of any kind. I doubt your I.Q. is above room temperature. I sincerely doubt that your use of "doubtful" was as sincere as you say. I doubt that you have any clue what the Tea Party is all about.
You know nothing of these people, yet you libel them at every oppurtunity. You should be ashamed of yourself, but I am also doubtful that you have any sense of morality.
Hey, you're preaching to the choir. You'll hear nothing negative about Obamacare from me, no siree! I'm looking forward to having my prostate operated on by a postal clerk. I'm even putting my name on the waiting list now so I can get the operation in 2023. Woo HOO! Change is a-comin'!
Yes, yes, enough of these silly right-wing conspiracy theories. Let's talk about something of substance…like the lump in the back of Bush's jacket. Listening device, or hidden card shuffler? You decide!
The yellow bracelet is so 2004! Purple bracelets are what all the cool people are wearing now to show that they care enough about the sick and needy to spend 3 bucks on a plastic wristband.
From a P.R. standpoint, these responses to every whisper do not demonstrate strength. And, practically, where do they get the time…?
On Bill O'Reilly's Tuesday program, in the first couple of minutes you'll see Obama at a podium wearing the same color purple tie… coincidence?
because Lance Armstrong is a drugs cheat. Oh no wait that is just what everyone says on the record as a result of a very long investigation, so it is not true.
"Why is it that Dems always have to participate in name calling rather then give intelligent reasons that they base their opinions on? Do they believe that calling people names makes their opinion accurate?"
"It's like listening to adults try to get their point across rather than children. "
I agree with that
ACORN is just a group of generic democrats.
Would you like a little cyanide with your tea?
It's not the ones who are "catapulting the propaganda" that are disconnected from reality – they know damned well what they are doing – it's all those pathetic white people who are swallowing this garbage whole! And let's face some sobering truths, shall we? Other than a small handful of blubbering Uncle Toms, they're almost entirely white. The disconnect between reality and delusion in this country is widespread and appalling. That would partially explain the political careers of people like Jeff Sessions and Michele Bachmann. People like them are only able to advance because of the stampeding ignorance of their constituents. In the land of the brain-dead, the half-wit is king.

CS is just TA alias 'phatom', 'fallinpalin', etc. One again trying desperately to reinvent him/herself, in an attempt to elicit replies– here— so as to increase funds from it's part time job at 'Move on .org'
Call me cynical, but I seriously doubt, it's so called conversion, from foul mouthed troll to crusading chistian.
Cowboy Logic
Telling isn't it…what they issues draw their laser-like focus!
We need to cut spending in only one major area, the entire govt. The money that is being sent to the govt for the entitlement programs should stay int he local communities for them to help take care of the people in the community. For far to long the smaller communities pay the extra bill for the larger communities. Govt only consumes and dose not produce a single thing of value.
The problem we have are not a one size fits all. The problems in CA are not the same problems in PA but under the guise on compassion the CA problems become PA problems for the betterment of our collective community.
i know! that was so stupid!! but typical!
Pamela! Hurry now, or you will miss the schoolbus! I would NEVER spend time looking up colors of rubber bracelets but thanks for all your busywork (Hope it kept you away from reruns of Gossip Girls.)
They'll just run off a cliff if they think it leads to something that will discredit Palin, eh?
(…and like the old Warner Brothers cartoons, don't start falling until they notice their error. Then dig themselves out of the them-shaped crater and do it again.)
They are nasty hypocrites. Honestly, I can't take them anymore and generally stay away from the lib vitriol at all costs.
I'll take rational anger over ad hominem attacks any day of the week.
Profanity is generally used as a stylistic crutch these days. Rather than express your thoughts creatively, it's easier to drop an F-bomb, since that word can mean practically anything the speaker wants it to.
Wow, you're dense. The contradiction I noted was not between the words "progressive" and "liberal." It was mijowi's statement that it's not about liberals and conservatives, then his assertion that progressives are destroying the country.
Very frieghtning…..
You said it! The whole bunch- Daily Kos, HuffP, etc and not to forget MSNBC, tend to have juvenille reactions.
The reactions are so over the top, they are easy to ignore as barking dogs. One barks, all follow, they do not often know what they are barking at, but do not want to be left out!
This is not new. The same approach was evident during the campaign.
A lib calling someone mentally retarded…. rich….
Those are the same jackasses that jumped on Sarah Palin for wearing her bracelet a few weeks back.
As of this morning his new name is "loyal opposition"…
This guy changes his ID name more than Nanny Pelosi changes her face!
Doing a google search on "purple rubber bracelet" takes less time than it did for you to type in your comment here.
If you don't have the time to find out about something, you don't have the time to write about it either.
Perfect name for him. I end up yelling at the TV everytime I watch him.
I just noticed the name change when I checked to see if he replied to my …messing… with him about calling himself "Christian".
LOL!
Also, it turns out the bracelet Sarah Palin wore wasn't a "fallen soldier" bracelet. It was one for soldiers currently serving overseas. Like her son was at the time. Made by the same company that makes the fallen soldier bracelet.
Nasty and overly stupid bunch.
Actually, the term/acronym is BOHICA – Bend over, here it comes again.
Why wear a braclet for cancer victims? The ‘won’ has it all covered. If you get a letter asking for money for any charity have it forwarded to 1600 Penn Ave, they’ll get a donation right out. Soon all ills will be cured and everyone can ride a unicorn and smell fairy farts. No one will have to work and pay taxes, we’ll all live off the government. The ‘won’ said so.
Do they have a red, white and blue one?
The color you are thinking of is much more vivid, and it was expensive due to scarcity. That particular color is cheap, being very close to what you get from blueberries (or "wortle berries").
Well, if we're getting technical… The bracelets are more of a dark lavender color anyway. I see Mr. Big Head erm… I mean Gibbs… has an almost matching tie.
