A new low [W:101]

[Risky Thicket]

At least in modern times; the post-Colonial period was pretty nasty, too.

But really, how many of you go out and hug your garbagemen? I already know the answer: zero. Not one of you. 99% of you don't know their names or even notice if it's the same guys from week to week, if you ever see them at all.

Are You Kidding Me? Romney’s Garbage Man Blasts Him In New Political Ad | Mediaite

Politics aside, if my wife saw me hugging the garbageman I'd be leaking spleen juice and they'd still be looking for parts of the garbageman! Don't be hugging the garbageman unless he's blood kin.

And apparently part of the working poor that Obama has a low opinion of.....

“We can’t expect them to have all the skills they need to work. They may need help with basic skills, how to shop, how to show up for work on time, how to wear the right clothes, how to act appropriately in an office. We have to help them get there.”

What part of that speech do you find objectionable? The clip you quote isn't about the "working poor" you falsely claim it's about; but about homeless people, veterans from the Iraq war suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome, and kids aging out of foster care. You don't think they could use the help Obama mentions?

 

[Frank650]

You misunderstood Romney, granted he didn't express himself very well. What he meant to say is that people who profit from government have a vested interest in politicians who will shower them with money at the expense of their neighbors. A pretty sound principle in my view.

 

[Hairytic]

When are the President's ads going to begin focusing on his record and why he deserves to keep his job?

I want to hear Romney talk about why he should have a shot at the job and why Obama deserves to keep it.

This ad wasn't put out by the Obama campaign.

This ad wasn't put out by the Obama campaign.

Nah, why it has nothing to do with Obama....:lamo Nothing at all....:lamo....Haven't we heard this excuse before when Bull Burton's silly PAC made the last inflammatory accusation about Romney?, Then the WH got busted coordinating the person in that ad?....Yes, I think so...

Obama didn't put his stamp of approval in the ad. That's all that counts.

 

[Crosscheck]

I have the same guy week to week; do not know his name; and know he works his butt off because the city doesn't miss an opportunity to eliminate municipal jobs and force fewer people to do more but if he is still around at Christmas time I will tape a card with some cash in it (which is probably illegal) for him if he is still around then.

For many years have left presents on the trash can at Christmas time. Gifts usually were gift cards and pair of good quality working gloves.

But now that they use the mechanical arm to pick up the trash can they don't even get out of the truck. So I worry if the present is not visible it would just be knocked over by the arm.

 

[j-mac]

Well, we'll have to see...I think Obama is getting more and more disdainful of law, and congress as he goes...We saw the coordination in the Soptic ad, and trust me when I say that things are being looked into, and processes are being carried forward. This President could wind up in Prison where he belongs.

lol That is laughable. There is no evidence that Obama coordinated with any ad he didn't aprove of. Just because the right wing media are making something of this, doesn't make it true. We all saw how the birther BS turned out. I'm still waiting for Trump to show the world all the information his investigators found on Obama's birth certificate. Some people will believe anything.

 

[shiang]

It's interesting that I saw the title "a new low" and I immediately knew which side the OP was on.

 

[joko104]

We give the "garbage men" and postal worker Christmas presents every year. An expensive bottle of booze and a stack of boxes of cookies and candy for each one.We also do the same for our UPS and FedEx delivery person.

Obama hugs sanitation workers? I missed that somehow.

 

[Hicup]

Really? I mean, come on?? I wonder how many people actually give a rats ass what Romney's garbage man thinks of him.. LOL, I have to pay for garbage clean up througha private company. He bub, you don't like the fact that I don't care to ask your name, or give you a hug, then piss off. Go find another more rewarding career you tard..

Dear Lord this is getting desparate from the Obama clowns!

Whatever.

The point of the ad is simple. This garbage man? Part of Romney's 47% "victim mentality". He's part of the group of people Romney doesn't care about.

The people who are fixated about Romney not knowing this guy really have no damn clue what the ad is really gunning for.

 

[Velvet Elvis]

Aw, screw it.

Romney should bust out with an advertisement showing Occutards hugging garbage men, mail men, joggers, dog-walkers, etc.

Then caption it saying "Romney doesn't have time to hug people....he went out and got a job."

That would require executive functioning, some are a bit lacking in this category.

Easy to do that when your father is a former governor and you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Sadly, most of America doesn't have that.

 

[Rokkitsci]

And you win the yellow chicken award for slinging slurs and then running away like an extremely effeminate man when called on them. How is identifying the man in the ad as black a sign of racial bigotry? At this point I can only assume your pathetic misunderstanding of what bigotry even is to be the product of home schooling gone wrong. Who knows, maybe that's where you also picked up this fixation, possibly even a fetish, concerning other men and their pants.

STOP = please STOP

You are getting your arse handed to you - if you have any dignity, please start another thread or at least stop digging.

I am beginning to feel sorry for you - and I'd rather keep laughing at you.

Me too - that was exhilarating - wish it could continue, but I started feeling sorry for the Loki girl.

 

[Rokkitsci]

Wow, and just a few years ago the republicans trotted out Joe the plumber to say the exact same thing. Like always, it is Ok when a republican does it, but when the dems have normal people say stuff it is a horrible crime and they are scraping the bottom of the barrel.

however, much like I never gave a damn what joe the plumber had to say, i am pretty sure there is no real insight being offered by romney's garbage man unless he has some copies of Romney's tax returns he threw away, or maybe some home video of him using one of the 47 percent as a pinata.

The situation - I'm sure you must have noticed - is not what JTP said, but what OBAMA said. Obama slipped up and told the truth - his ideal is 'redistribution of the wealth." JTP didn't say that - Obama said it.

All poor ol Joe said was something about keeping more of what he earned in terms of lower taxes. It was OBAMA who casitigated that view with his 'redistribute the wealth' comment.

Did JTP try to take advantage of his accidental 'fame?' - well sure he did, but we conservatives don't act like silly DEMs. We reserve our support for real achievers = people like Romney, a man of substance and integrity. You are stuck with a common Chicago rabble-rouser who has no integrity and no substance. He has never accomplished a thing in his entire life - other than reaping the rewards of propaganda and getting himself elected to office.

Enjoy the clown while you can.

Sorry if I don't take the word of another professional victim as being authoritative on the matter. Did Your buddy ever explain what relevance his " skinny jeans" comment had if it wasn't a slur? No, he didn't. He ran away from it like a coward while trying to cover his trail with counter accusations. I have the integrity to admit my comment about the "magic underwear" was a dig at one of the more bizarre(IMO) aspects of Mitt's faith. I'm not surprised VM lacks any real courage though since it's become obvious to most people that the very qualities like responsibility for one's actions and choices that conservatives tout are the same ones they are so sorely lacking.

He hasn't had what he would call a real job in nine years. I guess he's had time to get cozy with the trash collector.

methinks you are pretty hung up on yourself as some sort of intellectual power. I am here to tell you that you sound pretty pedestrian to me.

As for 'cowardice' - that is a standard retort when you become so irrational and nonsensical that the other participant just throws up his hands and walks away shaking his head.

You invoke that response - you don't intimidate anyone with your (il)logical commentary or your irrelevant 'points.' A person makes an aside comment in a post about something significant, and you zero in on the words in the aside with a vengence. You ascribe your own definition to the words, and then invent a motive for the person who wrote the words. When the author bitch-slaps your logic with amusing retorts, you double down on your silly creation - delusionally thinking the person's response "validates" your original mischaracterazation.

This is the stuff of the intellectually challenged who is not smart enough to recognize his own shortcomings. It makes for amusing reading for a while, but I, for one, began to feel sorry for you and pleaded with you to just stop it.

As expected you interpret people's tiring of trying to get anything approaching logic from you as "victory" and their bemused redirection of their attention as "cowardice."

Truly a sad case you are.

Now you have another 'victory.' Proclaim it to the world!!! I have been defeated. :lamo

Yes, I can certainly see that your stellar intellect outshines all of we mere mortals. Too bad it STILL doesn't explain what pertinence VM's comment about skinny jeans(which precipitated the entire exchange) had to do with the thread other than as a juvenile insult. That's another key characteristic of conservatives, they'll support a member of their own cult no matter how ridiculous their position is. I guess when you are losing influence in society each day that you have to band together regardless of liberal concepts like right or wrong. Your Sturm und Drang doesn't impress me anymore than it probably does your daily associates who laugh at your arrogance. I'm sure you can't even begin to grasp that the behavior of VM and yourself do indeed validate the negative associations tied to Mitt's 47% remarks. You see the world as composed of two camps, those who share your political views and those who don't. Those who don't are fair game for insults and other derogatory comments and it elicits a chuckle from all the wingnuts. When someone dares to slight one of your anointed candidates or even a fellow conservative I doubt you know from Adam and you immediately cry foul and throw the bigot accusations. That is a primary reason so many have such great disdain for the Tea Party and it's ilk. You would be hard pressed to find a bigger band of hypocrites and crybabies anywhere in the nation's history.
