“The man stood outside his RV, yelling and shooting a gun into the air. When Pasco sheriff’s deputies confronted him, he ran inside and wouldn’t come out … Finally, about 5 a.m., he exited his RV and was taken into custody. The cause of his displeasure, according to Doll, was Michelle Obama’s speech last night at the Democratic National Convention.” Displeasure? Maybe pleasure. We will never know. Well, we will know. For now what we know is that a man in Florida watched Michelle Obama speak at the Democratic National Convention then left his trailer, screaming like a banshee, shooting at the sky. [TampaBay.com]

It was the cocktail dress.

WadISay August 26, 2008 at 3:34 pm

That cocktail dress left him wondering, too.

La Cieca August 26, 2008 at 3:34 pm

Maybe he doesn’t like teal.

And people wonder why she hates America.

AngryBlakGuy August 26, 2008 at 3:35 pm

…he overdosed on Sasha and Mali!

echoman2000 August 26, 2008 at 3:36 pm

i’d say he was three walls short of room before michelle was even a thought in his head. good thing he’s got a gun. and a rv. imagine if he lived in a “real house” in a “real world”. the mind boggles. or is it buckles?

I am America, and I approve this message.

freppish August 26, 2008 at 3:37 pm

ah drunk crazy people with guns, the reason we need more strick gun control laws

Doglessliberal August 26, 2008 at 3:37 pm

I feel safer knowing this man can have a gun.

The Incomparable Tiny Valdez August 26, 2008 at 3:37 pm

I remember reacting like that to one of Elizabeth Dole’s speeches.

Now *that* is how you explode Republican heads. Take notes, Hopey.

Usually, this would count as news. But c’mon…it happened in Florida.

bunnyhead August 26, 2008 at 3:40 pm

As a resident of Florida, a.k.a. the Booby Hatch State, this is to be expected.

Cogito Ergo Bibo August 26, 2008 at 3:41 pm

Isn’t that how they conduct polls in Florida? One shot for “I reacted positively to the speech.” Two shots for “I reacted negatively to the speech.” Continuous shooting for “FABULOUS cocktail dress!”

sweetits August 26, 2008 at 3:42 pm

I have been to Pasco County. I wonder how this man’s behavior attracted attention. Sounds like a normal monday night in pasco to me.

SayItWithWookies August 26, 2008 at 3:42 pm

I have a feeling there’ll be a lot more trailers with shotgun holes in the roof after this week is over. Oh well — into every double-wide some rain must fall.

A fan of Leslie “Dirty” Sanchez?

Since he’s in FLA he’s doing well to not have ended up winning a Darwin award yet

AnnieGetYourFun August 26, 2008 at 3:44 pm

If all goes according to plan, Michelle Obama will one day cause me to scream like a banshee and shoot into the air, as well. USING THE GUN IN MY PANTS.

superfecta August 26, 2008 at 3:45 pm

We are going to cut FL loose when our Hopey overlords come in, right?

The Incomparable Tiny Valdez August 26, 2008 at 3:45 pm

This is off-topic, but Hurricane Gustav is currently near Haiti and projected to make landfall on the US Gulf Coast on Monday, the opening day of the Republican convention. Oil prices have already risen on speculation of the destruction of the rigs and refineries. That should put an end to Drill Here Drill Now for the time being.

freppish August 26, 2008 at 3:45 pm

actually this could be a plot to make republitards in swing states go crazy, so they cant vote. GENIUS

[re=70358]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: Isn’t that how Palestinians react to everything as well? I’m just noticing many, many similarities between honkies and crazy Mooslims lately. Opposition to abortion, tendency to beat wives senseless, economic impotence, habit of shooting into the air whenever something good/bad happens….

Man, way to blow your load way too early. Going bat-shit crazy on the first night of the convention is kinda like throwing up in the school parking lot before the prom.

scott_dog August 26, 2008 at 3:55 pm

Hmm, perhaps he didn’t agree with Michelle’s use of makeup. I’ve noticed that using too much makeup can make certain people very angry.

StripesAndPlaids August 26, 2008 at 3:55 pm

He was tired of clinging to his religion, thought he’d try his gun for a while.

sanantonerose August 26, 2008 at 3:56 pm

Oh my lord. The only “hope” I’m formulating from this campaign is that all these racist mofos will be driven to shoot themselves and/or one another.

Servo August 26, 2008 at 3:57 pm

Take the train to Happy Town. Choo-choo.

Undeterredbyreality August 26, 2008 at 3:57 pm

Geez, that’s how I reacted, too–after I accidentally switched over to Faux Nooze after the speech. I gots to get me that parental control switch.

snig August 26, 2008 at 4:03 pm

When they were writing the second ammendment, it probably never occurred to them that people would think it automatically included unstable whackjobs who feel the need to organize a militia against teal cocktail dresses. Maybe if we seat the Florida delegates he’ll feel more comfortable with the process.

lumpenprole August 26, 2008 at 4:05 pm

This is why I’m voting for Obama. I just want to see millions of bitters go cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs in Nov.

Wow, Burt Reynolds has put on weight!

Redhead August 26, 2008 at 4:10 pm

Well thank goodness this happened in Florida, where no matter what his final conviction, he will still be able to vote against Obama along with his pet dog and his deceased grandmother.

[re=70376]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: If by Palestinians you mean southern Virginians, then yes. One of the fun activities on New Year’s Day around here is walking around the neighborhood visiting one’s friends and seeing how many shotgun shells you can collect on the way.

Was he exercising his rights under our fair state’s new “Bring Your Firearm to Work” law, or the slightly older “Stand Your Ground” law?

Beautiful. Bring it on, bitches. Show the world who WALNUTS!’s supporters are. Come on, you inbred hillbillies: show the world what the Republican base is composed of. I just love it. Bring it on. Save us advertising money by showing your true colors on your own initiative. If we get a few more of these, Barry’s ads should just point to the various news stories, mention the fact that all these losers are WALNUTS! supporters and ask “Any questions?”

Gosh,

Michelle’s sisterly attribute ;) (especially in profile);) would make many a man do things out of the ordinary.

Some guys just react differently than others. Even Barry was “persistant” over Michelle.

maybe it was just a first step in some deranged form of awakening to the fact that republicans have been f’in him over for years. he understood what that woman was saying, and it made sense. then he realized she was black and all the programing of hatred that had been planted within him caused him to short circuit.

im no fan of much of much of the local government…but O’Dell is doing a real hatchet job for his masters…

Servo August 26, 2008 at 6:59 pm

I’m shocked at myself for allowing this possibility to escape my attention. I’m literally surrounded by the same type of genetically anomalous people as the “pillar of the community” mentioned above. They shoot randomly into the night ( even on Christmas ) for no explainable reason other than to make noise. No anger involved. The violent, alcohol-induced rage that will explode when Obama is elected will snap the thin, rusty wire that keeps their tiny fraction of common sense contained and the carnage will begin. Mother Nature always had a mechanism to correct her mistakes. It will be exciting to have front row seats to the unfolding chaos from the overdue repairs. Just gotta stock up on beer.

Oscar Folsom Cleveland August 26, 2008 at 7:42 pm

Billary is gonna be really really angry…Florida Dude was s’posed to hook up with Colorado Meth Phreaks to do the thing on Barry. (Bill was counting on the assassination to recoup campaign loans and Hillz, well, Hillz just wants her rightful/whiteful crown.)

Look out Idaho panhandle white supremacist financiers and shadow puppeteers….the Clintons are sending their New York pinstriped mafia after your asses!

Reminds Bill of Jesse Jackson.
