Freepers vs. Ken Burns

OK, last post before I go election monitoring and then play video games all evening avoiding the news till tomorrow morning.

Via MDaF, Freepers discuss Ken Burns, after he endorses Obama. You'd think it's crazy. It's way beyond that:

Lockbar invents new slurs:

What a fagaloon.

teeman8r knows Burns never earns any of his money:

ken burns is one of the 47%.

Gaffer is guessing bribery:

this man is so deluded, it is pointless to try and counteract his Polyanna liberal dream. The fact that he has four daughters that would be further morally diminished under Obama rule makes this spew even worse.

I’m guessing as a filmaker of documentaries, he’s landed some kind of Obama Film Grant to produce an ‘unbiased’ account of American Life under Obama. No sane man would delude himself so otherwise unless he were being paid off.

raccoonradio calls Ken Burns a girl. Hilarious!

Yes I liked “Baseball” but Ken Burns...who cares what _she_ thinks? :)

(...ever heard him speak? High pitched voice...) Wonder if he still has that Beatle haircut.

Kenny Bunk thinks Baseball is dumb:

Newsflash, Ken, ya left-wingnut. Baseball is a ....gasp .... GAME!

Kirkwood accuses the left of being anarchists. I don't get it either.

Ken, Ken, Ken.... It only looks like the republicans went to the right because the democrats went to the extreme left, bordering on anarachy. The republicans are more liberal than ever.

GOP_Party_Animal knows what is to blame:

Cocaine. It’s a hell of a drug.

mazda77 wishes Glenn Beck would set Ken Burns' history knowledge straight:

This crap begs one to question where he researched his understanding of history. Maybe someone with a good grasp of history like Beck’s researchers need to pick this little self absorbed idiot apart.

Burns' endorsement analogizes Obama to George Bailey of It's a Wonderful Life. This opens up another hilarious can of worms. Like pepsionice's parade of strawmen:

So, let’s talk about Bedford Falls, under an Obama administration. They’d regulate businesses to the point that most would close down, and move off down the road to the next town.

Bedford Falls would have a crisis with the local banks because they might have money, but because of regulations...they really can’t loan money out unless you have outstanding collateral (zero risk is the hint here).

Bedford Falls would be trying to lure energy companies to relocate into the town and provide set-up capital...only to find each company failing within a year and carving out the set-up capital as profit.

Bedford Falls would tell you that 30 man-hours a week is the new full-time level (not forty hours). So you’d flip your employees over to 28-hour weeks to avoid any unnecessary new taxes that Bedford Falls created.

Bedford Falls would have a problem in functioning beyond the mayor’s level. Out of the nine-man city council...the mayor just won’t talk to four members under any condition. So the mayor kinda runs the city by his orders. To be honest, Bedford Falls hasn’t had a real budget agreed upon by the full city council....in three years.

Bedford Falls has the highest pension level of any city in the state, but can’t possibly ever sustain that pension.

Bedford Falls has high priorities for the school and library in the city...to the point that it’s consuming a huge amount of the yearly revenue collected.

Bedford Falls has empty houses, which the banks can’t get rid of, and they sit mostly empty.

Yeah, Bedford Falls might have been a neat place to live years ago...but this modern-age Bedford Falls is Detroit, and it’s crumbling around the edges of society. End of story.

rigelkentaurus hilariously tries to argue Obama is like Mr. Potter:

in this silly story of Ken Burns, Oloser = Potter. Oloser is the crusty, mean, greedy person who enslaves the people, forcing them to live in shanty town. By punishing the successful, ensuring no one can get ahead, people have no alternative but to crawl to the government for a hand out.

The result is a very poor, miserable town. Oloser does nothing to help anyone personally. He uses government to steal from people he does not like, takes a cut for his friends, gives a tiny amount to his supporters.

Oh yes, Oloser = Potter in this story, no question about it.

I don't even know where to begin with fieldmarshaldj:

Pottersville looked a lot like Zero’s Chicago.

Obama owns Chicago now?

William Tell hates George Bailey:

George Bailey?
Wasn't he the guy who hired an incompetent to handle the funds of the savings and loan, which resulted in the loss of all the liquid assets of the business?

Was this the same George Bailey who makes his living lending money? Didn't Bailey quote the fine print of the account agreement to one of his depositors to delay paying off the account?

Is this the same Bailey who saved the neck of an incompetent druggist who was a threat to everyone in the community?

Is this the same Bailey whose weakness of character led him to commit suicide from a bridge rather than face his problems bravely, leaving a wife and children to fend for themselves?

ClearCase_guy knows Ken Burns is gay for Obama, and all blacks:

He has an unnatural lust for black men. This has been evident in his work from the very beginning.
