It’s Saul Over Now
By John Cole March 5th, 2012
Apparently the big expose Breitbart promised before his death has been released at one of the Big Morons sites, and the shocking revelation is… Obama attended a play 14 years ago that was about Saul Alinksy.
These people are unspoofable. And where the hell is the Whitey Tape?
Posted in Clown Shoes, Wingnut Event Horizon
Don’t forget, Obama also participated in a panel discussion about Alinsky with that Islamofascistcommie Studs Terkel.
Because, really, who isn’t terrified of Studs Terkel?
March 5th, 2012 at 12:58 am
“It’s Saul Over Now.”
Hahahahahaha!
This is what Breitbart was working on when he died.
This is his epitaph.
Sad.
March 5th, 2012 at 12:58 am
Also, too, you can buy a copy of the play at Amazon.com if you are so inclined. Because, you know, all the best radical America-haters have their plays published by Samuel French.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:01 am
@Mnemosyne:
Well, the name kicks ass.
Funny story that Terkel liked to tell. When his book Working first came out, the artist for the cover screwed up the title, and that caused the book to sell slowly because people thought it was porn. It was supposed to be Working, by Studs Terkel. She titled the book Working Studs, by Terkel.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:02 am
Whitey Tape played for the Dodgers didn’t he?
March 5th, 2012 at 1:02 am
Can’t wait for the next expose on how Obama rented The Great Dictator a few years back on VOD.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:03 am
They are really going for an impossible standard of purity, aren’t they? You cannot even consume art that touches on left-wing politics without being forever tainted by it.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:03 am
I suppose I should confess right now that I once went to a performance of Boris Godunov. Also, Angels in America. So I guess I support AIDS and regicide.
If movies count, I’m really in trouble.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:04 am
I think Charles deserves a spot in the blogroll, non-mocking section.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:04 am
I was sure Breitbart had something damning like a video of Obama screaming,”Stop raping people!” and making a total ass of himself.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:05 am
Guys… I have a painful confession to make. I’ll come clean before someone spills my secret for me.
I once… read… an Ayn Rand book. Shun me now.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:07 am
Oh no! I’ve watched dozens of Youtube videos of Hitler finding out about things that distress him! I never realized that meant I was a Nazi!
March 5th, 2012 at 1:07 am
@Snark Based Reality:
You BASTARD!
March 5th, 2012 at 1:08 am
I guess I am forever barred from public service because I saw Naked Boys Singing.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:09 am
Anyone who has attended an Ibsen play is an anti-marriage, contraceptive-using slut who needs to supply Rush Limbaugh with a sex tape.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:09 am
I once saw a couple of minutes of a gay porno film. I guess that makes ME gay.
Damn, I’m going to miss having sex with my gf.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:10 am
I’ve seen Triumph of the Will, Casablanca, Schindler’s List, and Hogan’s Heroes. I feel so confused …
March 5th, 2012 at 1:11 am
The play I’m the most ashamed of watching was a traveling production of Cats. It was truly awful, what I would have given to see the Saul Alinski play instead, at least that would have been interesting.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:11 am
Completely OT, but G found this video that I love: Mumford & Sons realizing at the 2010 Reading Festival that the audience knows the words to their songs! The lead singer actually starts giggling, he’s so giddy.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:13 am
Proof that Cats was pure evil:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pm5w7gHEtJI
That song was NOT good enough to justify getting stuck in one’s head.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:13 am
My God, what damning evidence.
No wonder Obama sent Seal Team 6 after Breitbart.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:14 am
In the interests of airing my own dirty laundry… I saw Twilight once.
I challenge even Andrew Breitbart to find a greater sin than that anywhere in my history.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:14 am
Fuck Brietbart!
March 5th, 2012 at 1:14 am
@hilzoy: Ah, I recently watched Birth of a Nation, and it was pretty interesting, despite the weird pro-Klan slant. I’m really not sure what that says about me.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:15 am
Sort of seems like Alinsky was actually his copilot.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:15 am
Mayday.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:17 am
@Watson: You can’t
Because Andrew Breitbart is still dead.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:18 am
So, back on topic, I’m trying to narrow down the decadent bourgeois art I’ve seen over the years to just the most terrifyingly anti-American ones:
Avenue Q, which is all about puppets and Gary Coleman destroying America with sex and binge drinking. (The internet is for porn!)
The Marriage of Figaro, which makes fun of aristocrats and the Church.
Riverdance, where a bunch of drunken micks try to pass themselves off as Real Americans.
We’re hoping to get tickets to Book of Mormon when it comes to LA, but so is three-quarters of the adult population, so it could get ugly.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:19 am
@Mark B.: You have to watch an episode of a Tyler Perry show for each actor you saw in blackface otherwise you’re a racist. That’s the rule.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:19 am
I saw “War Horse,” now am I guilty of cruelty to animals?
March 5th, 2012 at 1:20 am
Maybe if we slip to them the deep, dark secret that as a young college graduate Obama worked as a community organizer, using approaches influenced by Alinsky, they might bring Breitbart back to life so he can Reveal It To The World!
March 5th, 2012 at 1:20 am
@Snark Based Reality:
Not everyone in New York would pay to see Andrew Lloyd Weber.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:21 am
@Mark B.:
Griffith really did create the language and grammar of American film. Unfortunately, he did it with a film that promotes the Ku Klux Klan as heroes.
Comparisons with The Triumph of the Will, which is a beautifully staged and photographed paen to the Nazi Party, are not inapt.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:25 am
” where the hell is the Whitey Tape? ”
Exclusive film of Tunch at eleven?
March 5th, 2012 at 1:25 am
well…imagine there really is a heaven, and a hell.
now in this version, as all people do when they die, breitbart goes to heaven. he gets to look around for a bit, put his feet up, then they tell him about how in heaven they get to look down at earth and see what people are doing and why, all the dirt, knowledge is pure complete and absolute.
breitbart, natch checks on obama and a few thousand others, he gets to see everything. everything. then he realizes, FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK everything everyone he considered an enemy was doing that he could have used, really could have used.
suddenly its not heaven any more for breitbart, he sent himself to hell.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:26 am
I had an exchange with Sarah Goldstein on Twitter yesterday:
Sarah C. Goldstein @sarahcgoldstein
Breitbart.com is relaunching on Sunday. Huge social media platform. Come debate! #gop #teaparty #andrewbreitbart
3 Mar kdpca @ShadowsMomCA
@sarahcgoldstein um debate requires two sides engage in Analysis of a question. Your site more like propaganda
3 Mar Sarah C. Goldstein @sarahcgoldstein
@ShadowsMomCA intolerance of the left once again
3 Mar kdpca @ShadowsMomCA
@sarahcgoldstein not intolerant, merely pointing out that debate, by definition requires opposing views. Will u invite progressive voices?
Sarah C. Goldstein @sarahcgoldstein
@ShadowsMomCA I asked democrats to come join us. We would love to debate you.
So, the new Breitbart.com is open for business and they would love to debate with progressive democrats. Perhaps they could explain how this major announcement impacts the administration
:)
March 5th, 2012 at 1:29 am
Laugh, but this is BIG!
No wonder Obama had him killed!

I’ve seen The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and Gypsy. Someone get me a pair of Lucite heels.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:44 am
Obama also appeared on a local PBS show called Check Please when he was a state senator. The premise of the show was four people from all walks of life would each choose a restaurant, all four would go to each restaurant, and would talk about each of them on the air with the host. As far as restaurant review shows go it was ok.
AND WHAT RESTAURANT DO YOU THINK COMRADE BARACK CHOSE. That’s right. A cajun restaurant. Those people are barely white. Plus it was on the South Side, where poor people live. (Well, Hyde Park. Still it’s a lot closer to poor people than any decent person should choose to congregate). And – you won’t believe this – during the show he praised the “johnny cakes” the restaurant made: unleavened biscuits given in lieu of bread.
DAMMIT OBAMA AMERICA WAS BUILT ON YEAST.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:49 am
Word on the street is Obama once attend a production of “Fiddler on the Roof”.
Which makes him our first Jewish President.
March 5th, 2012 at 1:52 am

March 5th, 2012 at 2:12 am
It’s funny that you link to Charles Johnson/LGF on this, since he was all about this conspiratorial nonsense until the moment Obama was elected when he decided to jump ship.
March 5th, 2012 at 2:18 am
@wasabi gasp:
You know those bumper stickers that say “God is my co-pilot”? I saw one today that looked just like it and said “Chewie is my co-pilot.” Of course, this was in the Godless urban northeast.

March 5th, 2012 at 2:39 am
And wingnuts are going FULL SPEED AHEAD with their hate on Sandra Fluke. I read the Breitbart article and then scrolled down to the comments. The first comment (now deleted, but copied and pasted at other wingnut sites) is as follows
195 likes and counting for that one! Next they’ll have wingnuts stalking her on campus, following her around Target, saying “Hi Sandra” at the bank just to intimidate her and so on. It’s a full on hate for this woman.
March 5th, 2012 at 2:39 am
@sloan:
You know, if you stripped this behavior of its political context (such as it is), it would be stalking and harassment on a criminal level. Of course, they’ll all get away with it because CONSERBATIB FREEDUM! but let’s not forget that for weeks on end, the bullies, creeps, and Spanish Inquisitors of the GOP devoted all their energy to stalking a 21-year-old undergrad.
March 5th, 2012 at 2:47 am
@Spaghetti Lee: I have no doubt this shit has the potential to escalate. It would not surprise me one bit if some right-wing fuck ends up going too far and ends up in handcuffs.
March 5th, 2012 at 3:01 am
THAT’S IT?
I was expecting something truly damning, like pics of undergrad Obama passed out, with “lightweight” writ large across his forehead by sharpie.

@Rathskeller:
The fantasy conspiracy theory is that Obama was flown in from Kenya to get special instruction by a cabal of anti American Chicago radicals. He wasn’t just watching a play; coded messages were being exchanged.
These people are clearly delusional. Unfortunately, their mania is intensifying. Even mocking them only makes them more furious, even though it probably isolates them from those few conservatives who can’t go for the Full Crazy.
March 5th, 2012 at 3:20 am
@sloan:
I hope Ms. Fluke takes solace in the fact that how much wingnuts hate her is an indication of how effective she has been in harming their insufferable cause. Her clear exposition of the consequences of a lack of birth control options on women’s health and her subsequent grace in the face of their mindless outrage is remarkable.
They have hated Obama and Clinton more, but she has come remarkably far in a short time.
March 5th, 2012 at 3:22 am
@Spaghetti Lee: Actually she’s a 30 year old woman who is a professional student in law attending Georgetown University Law Center. The “coed” business was a smear to demean her personally. It’s sad quickly this lie has spread and how much it has distorted the reaction to her testimony and the reaction to the reaction to her testimony.
March 5th, 2012 at 3:22 am
Apparently the Illinois state senator really liked the Dixie Kitchen.
Thanks to the person who mentioned this show. I’d never seen it before.

In regards to the late Breitbart and his cronies: They’ve got nothing.
In the words of the right-wing blogosphere’s persistent taunting of Kerry supporters back in 2004, “How’re you gonna beat something with nothing?”

March 5th, 2012 at 5:44 am
I know the whole “We survived the Dimbartpocolyps” thing is still in rotation but really, did we ever find out what devastating thing he did to us lefties was?
I figured it was so explosive we all have been quite dead since it happened but not recovered from the shock enough to realize we are gone. Sort of a low-rent Sixth Sense thing going on.
March 5th, 2012 at 5:48 am
Santorum was correct in his analysis that the current President is elitist and a snob. Only those who have never been to a play should run for office.

I don’t know that attending a play proves anyone is a communist, but it definitely proves they’re a snob. Case closed. Posthumous win for some dead guy no one will be talking about at all in 2 weeks. Obama is going to have to live with the fallout from this expose throughout the entire two terms of his Presidency.

March 5th, 2012 at 9:19 am
well….this is how conservatives think. social dominance order and right wing authority syndrome. they think they can smear Obama as a marxist by glueing alinsky onto him. it was the same thing as Rev. Wright. it is inconceivable to the conservative mind that Obama might not be isomorphic with the views of an authority figure.
the interesting thing about the Rev. Wright bruhaha is that NRO and the other conservative media outlets got warned off by the conservative establishment because they were still trying to attract minority voters at that point.
i have mails from John Derbyshire to me complaining that conservatives couldn’t talk about Rev Wright because he was black, and indeed Team McCain dictated that NRO could not talk about race at all in the 2008 election season.
And if i was Tucker Carlson i guess i’d publish them.

March 5th, 2012 at 9:45 am
and im just really glad Breitbart died before he could get to Big Science and Big Education.
Conservatives do have a point about education, but i fail to see what they can do to “take back academe”.
Heres a nate silver post about voting patterns of post-baccs from 2008.
Positive slope means the curve should be hitting 70% in 2012.
Add that to the fact that 96% of scientists are NOT-republican, and you have a big problem.
Who teaches in colleges?
Post-baccs and teaching research scientists.
The reason academe is painted blue is that there just arent candidate professors with conservative tendancy to hire.
So even an affirmative action program that hires conservative professors, would fail.

@Mark B.: Re: Birth of a Nation.
I usually realize that although we may know more things more accurately than people from hundreds or thousands of years ago, our logical and mental faculties are really not that different. But to see, for example, how upset, and how much time the early church fathers spent on the length and visibility of women’s hair always brings me up short. (Yes, I know the Hasids in Israel have never advanced past that stage.)
Another example, from 50 years ago, public swimming pools would be the death of civilization if people of all races were allowed to mix there. Now,... meh.
What fetishes do we have that will seem quaint in 50 years, or less?

And that goes double for his weasly little protege O’Keefe
March 5th, 2012 at 10:01 am
@quannlace: you do not understand Breitbarts appeal to the conservative mind.
We are all Breitbart now.
Sure he drove minorities and youth away from the GOP in droves (a notable dogwhisteler, and an Anger Whiggah), but he spoke the pure ressentiment of the conservative heart.
