Yes, yes, I know I linked to that human scum Breitbart's website, but hear me out.

The big bombshell? Obama once went to a play about Saul Alinsky. In 1998.

Apparently, this disqualifies him from being President. Or something. I don't know.

1. I once saw a topless ice skating show in Puerto Rico. I can never be governor now. n/t

[MarianJack]

5. By topless I'm sure you mean that...

...it was an outdoor rink with no roof.

Of course, being married to a Puerto Rican, I know that would result in a soup rink, not an ice rink.

PEACE!

[Ian David]

8. No, it was an indoor rink with topless skating women and an R-rated magician. n/t

[MarianJack]

10. I figured.

My response was a joke.

PEACE!

[vaberella]

31. "R-rated magician"--- What kind of tricks was he pulling? n/t

[Ian David]

33. All I remember was a small guillotine and a carrot, and he was removing underwear from the audience.

[Blue_Tires]

15. uh...yeah....

I might know a friend of a neighbor's distant relative who could be very interested in seeing this (for artistic sake)...Any more details you could provide? Including where to buy the best seats?

[Ian David]

19. It was decades ago when I was like 15. n/t

[Ikonoklast]

27. Oh, yeah, we all believe that, sure.

I bet you have season tickets.

[Ian David]

32. I do. Box seats with Saul Alynsky. n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. I saw a performance of "Hair" on Broadway in 1969.

They were singing about peace, love and dope and everybody got naked on the stage! OMG! Now I can't run for president!

[cliffordu]

22. I saw the traveling show in '69 at the Geary Street Theater in San Francisco....

[treestar]

3. that disqualifies most of us

I've seen movies about Hitler!

[JHB]

34. Cue the "Hitler finds out Brietbart's 'scoop' was tiddly winks" mashup

[quakerboy]

37. That wouldnt disqualify us

The RW loves Hitler in every way other than the negative name recognition. And sometimes they are willing to admire him by name anyway.

[MarianJack]

4. I used to look at my dad's Playboys and Penthouses, so...

...I'm disqualified to be president.

[Cirque du So-What]

6. Response from the American people: 'Who?'

and that applies equally to not-so-bright Bart AND Saul Alinsky.

Response from the American people if they should learn who Saul Alinsky was: 'ho-hum.' I'm referring to the non-wingnut contingent of the public, of course. The teabaggers, birfers & assorted nuts will no doubt raise a huge stink with a half-life of about 15 minutes.

[Arkana]

12. Right. This makes national news for all of about 10 minutes

on channels not named Fox News, and then everyone forgets about it.

[southernyankeebelle]

7. That's it? My goodness. I was reading that he had a transgender nanny. Wow like he had a choice

to chose his nanny but then again if the nanny was good what was the problem? The nasty minded republicans must be projecting again. The hate for them is so unbearable. By the way I wouldn't trust what they publish in the first place because they edit way to much.

[Arkana]

11. The joke now is that Breitbart died of shame

when he realized how pathetic his "HUGE BOMBSHELL!!!!" was.

[Kahuna]

20. ...

Good one!

[southernyankeebelle]

25. That is funny in itself because we all know Brite fart had no shame. He was a media whore

[gordianot]

9. George Romney actually touched Saul Alinsky's hand why the elder Romney could never be President.

Not only that but the cooties were bound to rub off on his son Mitt Romney who should now be run out of the party.

Oh the shame there be photo evidence here: http://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/photo-exclusive-when-george-romney-met-saul-alins

[peace frog]

13. ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzZZZZzzzzzz

Wake me when the real news comes on, willya. Breitbart was so last week. Pity.

[MineralMan]

14. If you asked 1000 random Americans

if they know who Saul Alinsky is, you might get 5 who had ever heard the name before. Maybe. I may be being optimistic in those numbers, actually.

[grantcart]

17. and those 5 would have all liked some or all of what the great Alinsky had to say.

[MineralMan]

24. Absolutely right!

The only people who have heard of Alinsky are people who like him. It's amazing how much we tend to overestimate what the US public in general knows or cares about. I think it interferes with our understanding of American politics, to be frank.

[treestar]

38. Rabid right wingers have heard of him

They use him to "prove" Obama is a communist - associate with communists, and you become one.

So if this were true, the only people who would care are the same people who are already convinced Obama is a communist due to his "ties" to Alinsky (and Ayers).

[Lil Missy]

16. I farted once.

or twice, ... err ...

[Kahuna]

18. Is that "it?" Seriously, I knew it wasn't going to be a big deal because ..

if it was big, they would save it for an October surprise.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

29. no, this is not "it". what they have are tapes of the Prez

[Lint Head]

21. I saw Silence of the Lambs. Guess I'm a cannibal now. Whew! I never would have known.

[jillan]

23. Bill Maher had it right:

"Who the fuck is Saul Alinsky?"

http://www.newser.com/story/138514/bill-maher-who-the-f-is-saul-alinsky.html

edit to add - best part of Bill's rant was when he said if Newt hates him, he's probably a divorce lawyer

[Thrill]

26. NEWSFLASH He's already the President

Kind of hard to scare people with bullshit like this when Obama has already been their President for several yrs

[Laura PourMeADrink]

28. No, he said tapes. This is nothing, you are right. There are a # of tapes from Harvard. nt

[madinmaryland]

30. I just sent this to a real live birther!! I am waiting for his head to explode in glee!!

[renate]

35. I found out last night that Little Green Footballs isn't at all what I thought it was, and saw this:

(Regarding LGF, I'm only about a million years behind the times. )

Before his death, Andrew Breitbart had been promising a true BOMBSHELL revelation about Barack Obama, a STUNNER that would finally put an end to Obama’s reign of terror. Some whispered darkly that this may have been the reason for Breitbart’s sudden mysterious collapse.

(snip)

The earth-shattering scoop that will blow this baby wide open can now be revealed: 14 years ago Obama attended a play in Chicago.

(snip)

The subject of this nefarious play: the dreaded Saul Alinsky.

It’s over, Barack. You should just resign right now like Sarah Palin; you’ll never recover from this blow. It was fun while it lasted.

36. I saw a show featuring Tilly Tumbles

at a strip club in 1974. My boyfriend played in the band.

I never mentioned this to my present employer. Can they fire me for this?

[mackattack]

39. The rumor is that

Obama received a scholarship for foreign students when he was a Occidental. Sure it's ridiculous but that is the story. By Breitbart saying that he had a bombshell, it keeps that birther discussion alive. Which is exactly what they want.

tschuss!

[Enrique]

40. he's been president for over 3 years

and they have to go back and find some ridiculous link to some figure that no one really knows who exactly he is?

[GeorgeGist]

41. Media mogul

my ass.

[ncteechur]

42. I let my children watch the Teletubbies once.

OMG!!
