Dave Weigel of the Washington Independent‘s crazy person beat has taken any number of comical photos from today’s Kill the Teabagger Rally, like this one, which is based on an actual thing. Wingnuts are furious that Obama will take away their right to fish on the local lake or pond, drinkin’ gravy & beer with their buds Jim-Tom and Bumblecutter.
Someone on Big Government is leading the furious charge. He has fished many times in his life. And now Obama bin Biden will ruin that, for him:
That’s why when I hear crap that Obama and his “progressive” ilk want to ban fishing, it gets me … uh … how shall I put this … um… angry. Yeah, that’s a good word. Not only are they upending this nation on many different economical fronts but now they’re talking about the recreationally and economically disastrous move of banning fishing? What’s next? Are they going to ban apple pie? Blonde-haired girls? Chevrolet? No, they own Chevy now. What about baseball?
If you take away the “blonde-haired” girls, over whose heads will we smash our High Life bottles when anything bad at all happens?
(If you care about the truth, there was a government task force that will make recommendations for commercial fishing law, and the recommendation period has ended.)
GIT YOUR HANDS OFFA MAH FISHIN’? they are asking. Well, too late, a total ban on fishing (for wingnuts only) has been placed in the health care bill, sorry.

…and don’t pee in my pool.
I also heard he’s going to ban puppies, sunshine, and MOST DISTURBINGLY the leopard-print Snuggie.
Well, there goes the CW about fish being brain food…
Well, brunettes are normally more attractive than blondes, especially when the color’s obviously fake, so that ban wouldn’t be much of a problem.
It’s good to see that the conservatives to just make shit up about Obama’s plans is as strong as ever, though. Don’t worry, people who like to sit on a boat doing nothing for hours on end, for fun, you’ll be able to continue to somehow enjoy the world’s most boring “recreational” activity.
Teach a man to fish, and he will fish for a day. Ban a man from fishing, and he will eat a McFishin’Wich sandwich at McDonalds! Happy St. Paddy’s Day!
page 1543 of NobamaCare: Angry white folks from the exurbs shall not be allowed to fish.
Look it up.
actual line from the BigGovernment article: “After the Lord blessed me with those two leads I quickly called my dad to get his butt on a plane to bend some rods South Florida style.”
Sadly, I’m not nearly drunk enough to supply the appropriate Mark Foley joke.
They can take my fishing pole when they pry the bloodworm from my cold, slimy fingers.
Wait until the Republican base finds out Obama is going to outlaw Bedazzlers and canned beer.
Can we start a rumor at Big Government that Obama is going to ban classic 1980′s-90′s VHS porn tapes? And that a suprising number of these tapes will soon be offered up for auction with reasonable opening bids and prompt shipping?
She looks and acts like someone who ate too many mercury addled fish, anyway.
Fan mail from some flounder.
“Get out of my kitchen” is an old blues expression that married siblings often use; hell hath no fury, good buddies. My advice is to her is what the Cajuns say: “Throw the fish away, and eat the bait!”
They’ll get my fishing rod when they peel my cold, dead hands from the reel. Or just wake me up, take my empties, and I’ll truck on home. Because, you know, it’s just fuckin’ fishing. I’ll go drive an ATV in national park instead.
Death Panel for Fish.
It’s almost as though Big Government were synonymous with inchoate outrage over completely imaginary made-up bullshit
Now it all makes sense how they can sell survival seeds for 150.00 bucks on Becks show.
oddly enough, she has no objection to the government in her hoo-ha.
OK, I just made myself sick.
Dammit, Jim!
Where the hell was this post 45 minutes ago when I wrote this:
“He pulls a muskie, you pull a sturgeon. He sends one of yours to the Dells, you send one of his to the Big Fitz. That’s the Great Lakes way!”
(Oh, and I hope you’re cold feelin’ better.)
What’s up with Tuskegee experiment sign? Is Obama making syphilis mandatory?
IF I WANT TO BLOW UP TWO INCH FISH WITH A GRENADE ITS MY RIGHT ITS IN THE CONSTITUTION I HATE ALL TWO INCH FISH
Firstly, there were hunter/gatherers, not hunter/fishermen.
Secondly, if god didn’t want men to fish he wouldn’t have created them with poles.
Thirdly, these wingnuts are supposed to be ‘fishers of men’ not ‘fishers of fish.’
This is just like that thing with the flavored chewing tobacco. (What ever became of that, anyway? Has the Skoal Rebel made any updates?)
[re=531668]mumblyjoe[/re]: I think you meant The Onion.
Hey lady — President Obama’s not banning fishing — and even though what you do to a fish (mostly involving huge amounts of breading and deep-frying) ought to constitute a crime, that’s probably still legal too. On the bright side, I hear the Catholic Church is going to designate aborted fetuses and fish for purposes of Friday meals, probably on account of the amniotic fluid and all. A little Trimester Helper and some cream of mushroom soup and that little mistake is now a delicious casserole!
Get out of my boat? Is that you hepcats are calling vayjays these days?
[re=531649]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: its the mercury, not the omega 3s.
Ironically, there was a time when a blackie like Obama would have just loved to get out of your kitchen and get the fuck off a boat- a cargo boat, to be exact.
least catchy protest sign ever.
Oh…the precious blonde girls…the precious blonde girls….
You just know there’s some Young Republicans getting drunk on Friday nights after class making this shit up and sending it out on the ‘Net on Monday.
Obama wants to take away your dentures…
[re=531676]WhatTheHeck[/re]: I think you have opened old fissures in the Tea Party.
[re=531660]Gorillionaire[/re]: Brilliant.
[re=531681]SayItWithWookies[/re]: I hate to break it to you, but that is a photographic representation of a lady and not the lady herself.
[re=531671]Hart88[/re]: Whaddya think she means by “GET OUT OF MY BOAT”?
Also, aren’t “boats” of such size more accurately referred to as “ships”?
Looking through the gallery at the Washington Independent, linked above, I was amused by the woman protesting the Tuskeegee Experiment. Until I realized she was pointing at the photographers shoes. With her nipples.
[re=531653]snideinplainsight[/re]: “Give a man and fish, and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish – and you’ll ruin a great business opportunity.” – Karl Marx
Michele Bachman really misses Eric Massa.
Hands on the pole? Milking the waters? Crappy? That Doug Giles fella is one closeted mofo.
Sounds like these folks ate way too mercury from fish, but it is just easier to call them retards.
[re=531686]Dashboard_Buddha[/re]: [re=531703]Extemporanus[/re]: GET OUT OF MY TUBES!
ObamaCare wants to make misspelling on handwritten signs illeagal.
[re=531702]norbizness[/re]: Oh, sure — and next you’ll be spewing injudicious slander about my Helena Bonham-Carter body pillow.
[re=531703]Extemporanus[/re]: Maybe she wants to teabag the little man in the boat. These people confuse me. Also, Ships FTW!
Evidently, you liberal secularist peacnix commies don’t read the newspaper, do you?
Thanks to Nobama, I’m not going to be able to fish for blue fin tuna in the agricultural pond on my back 20 acres. And that is pissing me off!
Needs more thorazine.
“When fishing is outlawed only outlaws will have fish.” Which doesn’t bother me much, because fish is just underwater chicken.
Meanwhile, I do like the cute graffito in the upper right-hand corner of the Jebbus fish hooked. That’s a methypoor, right?
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry about the fact that people actually read this shit on Biggovernment and actually believe it.
Weekly World News needs to go back into print. Life was so much simpler when these people could follow the day to day goings on of Bat Boy.
If it’s that easy, why don’t we just ban the freakin’ wingnuts? Without a vote. Jesus H. Christ.
But you can still shoot a fish from a helicopter, right?
“Not only are they upending this nation on many different economical fronts”
As opposed to wasteful fronts?
These people don’t know shit, do they?
[re=531693]american mutt[/re]: They were going to put her slogan on a T-shirt, but it would only fit on XXXL.
[re=531672]Extemporanus[/re]: “Oh, and I hope you’re cold feelin’ better.)”
Was Jim sick before or after Layne insisted he go take pictures of Teabaggers?
Let’s use the “deem” rule, where we “deem” them idiots, and vote on reconciliation with the sane people in the country.
This is the most ludicrous misreading of a bill since “ObamaCare includes insurance for your dog”, really. Obviously, bills are confusing, and so those not trained in law may sometimes have trouble with them; this is no surprise. What’s depressing is that there are actually opportunists out there who know better – come on, they *have* to know better – who willfully promote this death-panel-dog-insurance-fishing-ban bullshit.
Wait till they find out “Trucknutz” will soon be banned.
Oh, and.

“The state license requirement was made necessary by a federal law approved by former President George W. Bush. The federal law mandates that states develop registries and charge for fishing. If the state fails to comply, fishermen have to pay a $20 to $30 federal fee instead.”
Dubya, you socialist, get out of my boat!
“Leave it up to an African Muslim and Marxist to dis-identify with American values.”
Found that gold nugget in the comment section of above linked post. With a +10 rating.
Here’s another good one from later in the thread when they start bitching about health care reform:
“Liberal solution: penalize the entire nation with sky-high premiums and rationed care.and further bankrupt the government.
Better solution: let the deadbeats die. “
After reading the article, I’m all in favor of Obama’s fishing ban. One deranged fucker is killing half the fish in the Florida and needs to be stopped.
I’m making my own sign for the next Teabagger ranting about everything and nothing event. Anyone know how to reprogram one of those Billy Big Mouth Bass talking fish?
Correction: Bumblecutter accidentally shot Jim-Tom last hunting season. R.I.P.
President OBama. Her protest sign says President OBama.
Is poster board that expensive that she couldn’t just re-do it? Where’s the sense of pride in one’s being a public lunatic?
Those commie state-owned-hatchery-raised rainbow trout are pretty tasty, eh? But seriously, photos like this make me want to kill something… maybe I’ll have to go fishing.
Fishing???? They really are just stupid, aren’t they? Well, paranoid too. Can’t overlook that.
Wait ’til she reads page 468 of the health care bill where NOBAMA bans old white people from making stupid signs.
Is there a tipping point in our future when the regular voters who don’t give a shit (Independents until the election nears and they become Undecideds) get tired of this shit?
The hysteria has reached such ridiculous heights where do they go next? Nobama is going to make us get a license for our gun before we shoot bears in Yellowstone?
[re=531761]RoscoePColtraine[/re]: It’s a nod to his Irish heritage. His name was Barry O’Bama before he converted and became loyal to the prophet, PBUH.
[re=531756]Spike[/re]: The irony is that these people are probably totally aghast at the idea of evolution, and are perhaps the sort who like to bring up its connection to Hitler, while simultaneously echoing fantasies of social superiority that would make Herbert Spencer cringe.
[re=531769]DustBowlBlues[/re]: And speaking of hysteria!
“Your shopping habits are tracked by the CDC and the EPA using grocery store ‘club cards’ for the advertised purpose of keeping you safe from ‘food born illnesses’ and ‘mass contamination’ by terrorists… ”
Hahaha, wake up sheeple! See you in the FEMA / EPA re-education camp!
Soon, Big Government will be regulating when and where you can fish and making you pay to do it! You will be required to buy fishing “licenses” in order to do something that should be free! Just you wait and see!
[re=531733]Jukesgrrl[/re]: That wouldn’t be a problem, since it’s the only size that fits most teabaggers.
Just to keep track:
They want Obama out of the kitchen and Hilary back in it.
[re=531779]Mad Brahms[/re]: The funny thing is, those cards are actually used by food companies, for the purpose of sending you targeted ads to try and sell you shit. But remember, corporations good; government bad.
[re=531758]One Yield Regular[/re]: Reprogram? Send it to a FEMA camp!
ba-dum-bum. I’m here all week, folks. Try the veal.
She’s acting like one of those cows in a Chic-Filet commercial, incognito.
Health Care Reform
If you can’t fucking read the bill, don’t comment on it.
The first step of a successful revolution is to destroy all competing revolutionaries.
[re=531652]JMP[/re]: If you don’t find it recreational, you aren’t drinking enough beer.
I think it’s time to get on board with Bobby Bright’s bass fishing bill.

Fishing: You get to kill stuff just like hunting, except there’s less of a chance you’ll kill someone if you do it drunk.
Wake me up when Obama tries to regulate masturbation.
To quote Rodney Dangerfield: “The last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it.”
Once the Right wing kooks pummel their audience with a lie, in this case Obama banning fishing, the lie can never be undone. In 3 years they will still declare everyday that they want to get their last day of fishing in before Obama bans it.
In classic Fox Nation style, an article reads, “Obama to ban sport fishing?”
The link goes to an idiotic opinion piece from some stupid red neck.
A link in that article goes to another letter from the editor that says the fishing ban article is bullshit.
But that doesn’t stop the droolers at Fox Nation to lose their minds. They only read the Headlines and 80% of the time the Headline has nothing to do with the actual linked article.
[re=531654]The Silver Fox[/re]: Well, the solution in this case would simply be to calm the fuck down.
i didn’t know cross dressers were so passionate about recreational fishing.
[re=531751]Spike[/re]: Damn but I like that construct. I believe I’m gonna go out right now and dis-identify with reading this shit sober.
That’s not the worst of it. Obama is going to make people pay $14.99 a month for their Facebook accounts . . .
[re=531660]Gorillionaire[/re]: No, I have it: Survival Fish, because when fishing is banned, the only dependable investment will be fish. It will become the ultimate bartering tool. Buy this box which contains a variety of fish, and bury it in your yard and wait for Obama to ban fishing, at which point, the value of your fish will skyrocket. Also, fish are in the Bible, so you know you’re all square with God.
I thought that the commies were supposed to be under the bed, not hiding in the kitchen cabinets.
It amuses me to see so many posts from left-wing head cases fully in touch with their nasty little ids. Dissent is STILL patriotic, ‘tards.
