Wow .... how classy

[ronnykmarshall]

A sticky with a picture of Rick Santorum's little daughter crying.

:eyes:

Real class. About the same line as Rush's attacks on Chelsea when she was a child.

[TwilightGardener]

1. Honestly, I thought it was hilarious.

But then I make absolutely no claim to class.

[CatWoman]

30. move over, Wiener

here I come :)

:rofl:

[Tinksrival]

62. First time I laughed all week!

I doubt little miss Santorum knows the joy she just brought to me.
Remembering Ricky's loss is won of the most joyful moments of the last eight years.

There is no comment with pic.... It's just the same pic the media put out.......just close up.
Nobody called her a name and I doubt she will be reading DU in the ten minutes that stickie is up. Geeesh!!
People need to lighten up a little.

[in_cog_ni_to]

108. I thought it was HILARIOUS too!

:rofl::rofl: One of the best stickies so far!:rofl::rofl:

[Catherine Vincent]

2. That's so not right. n/t

[SoCalDem]

3. At the very least they could have used the happy picture..

I am crushed:)

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

7. ROFLMAO

OHHHH NOOOOOO!

[TwilightGardener]

8. That doll-twin thing was just so weird.

:rofl:

[Horse with no Name]

11. Then you obviously have no little girls in your life

that like the "American Girl" dolls.
Which, by the way, support women's causes.

[Bluebear]

15. I remember the fundies protesting that doll for some reason

[Horse with no Name]

27. Yep--which is the REAL irony of that picture

That Santorum ALLOWS his daughter to have one when the doll company supports choice and other women's rights issues.
And you are correct...the Fundies DID boycott the doll.

[TwilightGardener]

19. LOL! You're right--I have two boys, and I was a tomboy myself. No dolls--stuffed animals only.

[SoCalDem]

38. I only remember ONE doll.. She committed suicide

She was a "walking doll", so I wanted to see how she did on steps.. Not so well.. She never walked again.

[TwilightGardener]

46. Bwah! Good story. My parents gave me the requisite Barbie--

it soon ended up naked with tangled hair and missing limbs. Brothers and pets, you know. I was a poor caretaker.

[CatWoman]

52. hey

I had a walking doll when I was a little girl, too!!!

is that why we are all so warped? :)

[SoCalDem]

58. My mother was pissed at me when I broke her.. I called her "Click"

when she walked she went "click-click-click". after he stair incident she never made another sound:)

[CatWoman]

66. Guess what my doll's name was?

"Walkie"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I had the imagination/originality of a young George Bush :)

[SoCalDem]

69. Gee we missed out.. We could have had a tea party for Click & Walkie

:rofl:

[Libby2]

98. roflmao!! You guys are cracking me up. n/t

[saracat]

17. I had a twin doll that was life size, looked just like me and it went everywhere with me!

And that was "before" American Girl Dolls!So, I don't think it is weird.

[TwilightGardener]

29. Aw geez, I'm sorry! Just thought it was a little strange at a press conference.

No offense intended!

[Colorado Progressive]

9. lmao n/t

[Sapphocrat]

24. LOLOLOLOLOL!

I was so hoping you'd post that again! That pic alone made me your fan for life! :rofl:

[CatWoman]

34. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[bigwillq]

88. That whole picture is

:rofl:

Look at the son's eyes! :rofl: LMFAO!

[in_cog_ni_to]

109. Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

:rofl:

[karlrschneider]

4. I thought that was an old picture of my sister when dad said "no you can't have a pony"

...

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

5. Awww.

:nopity:

[WI_DEM]

6. It's not right to pick on a little girl--it's not her fault that her father is slime

and who knows like other politician kids she may end up a democrat! (Think Patti Davis/Ron Reagan, and Rudy's daughter who is supporting Obama).

[thereismore]

10. It's not right.She just loves her dad, that's all. nt

[Shine]

12. Bad form, I agree.

it's mean-spirited to make fun of a little girl, no matter whose kid she is. :thumbsdown:

[SoCalDem]

23. Blame belongs to Ricky..

Shame on HIM for making his disconsolate family "perform" for the crowd.

he should have taken his loss like a MAN, but since he's velcro-ed to the whole "family values' thing, he MADE his family share the grief in his loss..

He never shied from the cameras when he was trashing any dem he could think of, and why should he suddenly expect that the press would ignore the sad faces of his family when HE dragged them up there begging for more press..even as he slid down the drain..

[Beaverhausen]

33. All candidates bring their families on the dias. This is a little girl for fuck's sake

[SoCalDem]

45. When they WIN...

When they LOSE, it's usually the wife who plasters a happy face on her mug, but I have RARELY (if ever) seen crying children dragged onstage at a "Loss-fest".

[Beaverhausen]

48. Still doesn't make it OK to make fun of an 8 year old girl

EVER

[Shine]

42. Regardless, I still think it's mean to make fun of a child

it just shouldn't be done. EVER.

[PA Democrat]

82. A lot of DUers probably missed the ads Santorum ran in which he used his children saying how upset

they were about the criticism of their dad for not living in PA.

AD SCRIPT

Johnny Santorum: My dad’s opponents have criticized him for moving us to
Washington so we can be with him more.


Daniel Santorum: And they criticized us for attending a Pennsylvania public
school over the internet.

Elizabeth Santorum: And he votes in Washington almost 40 weeks some years and
when he’s not voting.

Peter Santorum: Dad’s traveling all across Pennsylvania - 67 counties.

Patrick Santorum: That’s a lot!

Johnny Santorum: Our dad works hard for the people of Pennsylvania. But one
thing he’s made very clear to us.

Sarah Maria Santorum: Being our dad is the most important job he’ll ever have.

I thought that picture might have been from the ad in which he exploited his kids. There were some long faces in that ad as well.


http://2politicaljunkies.blogspot.com/2006/09/rick-santorums-latest-ad.html

[WorseBeforeBetter]

28. Exactly - it's mean-spirited. We're now making fun of little girls?

I just logged on and thought that stickie was of her, hoping it wasn't, but hope springs eternal.

Put Santorum's ugly mug on a stickie with "loser" or something to that effect, but leave his kids out of it.

[Beaverhausen]

13. I thought the same thing, Ronny

:eyes:

[soothsayer]

14. I doubt she's going to see it, so mebbe just relax a little

[China_cat]

22. You do what's right because it's right...not because you might get caught.

[ronnykmarshall]

26. So what?

Maybe Chelsea didn't hear Rush's shitty comment? So that makes it ok?

If someone in FR would have done something like this with a picture of Edwards or Obama's kids, shit would be hitting the fan.

[EST]

77. True, but-

Although I am no champion of the publicker cause of restricting free speech of democrats through allowing them to intimidate themselves, such records exist forever and there are shitbaskets full of puke operatives, cruising the internet, looking for any foundation or substance to base claims of democratic perfidy on.

Why make it any easier?

[Beausoir]

16. I'm lost. Why is she crying? I didn't know who that was.

[Phillycat]

21. That is Rick Santorum's daughter, on the dais with him when he lost

in the midterms.

[JVS]

84. Because she's pregnant

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

90. ...

:spray:

[JVS]

91. The jokes on you. You ARE the father, as Maury Povich would say.

I'm just not sure this going after kids, no matter how dorky, or how shitty their parents are, is the right thing to do.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

92. Ah, the talk show circuit.

It's only a matter of time.

:rofl:

[Phillycat]

18. Agree, and I'm from PA.

I hate Santorum with the burning fire of a thousand suns, but she's just a little kid. None of it has anything to do with her. Very poor form, that stickie.

[saracat]

25. Yeah.It is mean.Especially as I think I read that the little girl is "slow' but

even if she were NOT this is just MEAN and WRONG!

[Forkboy]

31. The stickies have been the worst fundraising idea yet.

A lot of them are just plain dumb and childish.

[ronnykmarshall]

36. I was gonna do a Godzilla one!

[Forkboy]

39. well that would be a major step up.

:)

[jonnyblitz]

59. I agree. I am surprised DUers who are enemies with each other

haven't posted veiled attacks/snark like what is often done in the lounge.

[Forkboy]

80. I can't imagine something like that happening in the Lounge.

Or should we call it Drama Class 101? :)

[SoCalDem]

81. They wear veils in the lounge now? I've been gone too long

When I used to hang out there we had trouble getting them to wear ANYTHING besides thongs :evilgrin:

[jonnyblitz]

86. ..

:spank:

[TwilightGardener]

70. Are we failing to meet your "Sticky Standards" for taste and cultural value?

[Forkboy]

78. I just think a lot of them have been lame and dumb.

Sue me.

[Forkboy]

94. Never let it be said that DUers lack a sense of humor.

As someone just donated for me giving me a sticky to post.This place cracks me up. :D

Whoever it was (Was it you Ronny?),thanks for both donating and giving me the first good laugh I've had today.

And to show how much I hate the childish aspect of some of them I posted the United States Black Metal flag.Because nothing says maturity to me like this kind of guy...



:hide:

[youthere]

95. Yes..I will be glad when "Bitch About Stickys"month is over.

[DU GrovelBot]

32. ## PLEASE DONATE TO DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND! ##

==================
GROVELBOT.EXE v4.0
==================



This week is our third quarter 2007 fund drive. Democratic
Underground is a completely independent website. We depend on donations
from our members to cover our costs. Thank you so much for your support.

[CatWoman]

40. see,

even Grovel Bot thinks it's hilarious :)

[NeedleCast]

41. Irony

Thy name is GrovelBot

[jgraz]

35. Santorum lets his daughter read Democratic Underground?

Cuz that's the only reason I can think why someone would object to poking fun at Captain Rick's staged exploitation of his family.

[Phillycat]

37. I object when anyone's minor children are dragged into a political shitstorm

Especially little kids. You think she picked Santorum as her daddy? He's the only one she's got. Christ.

[jgraz]

43. How is posting this pic dragging her into a political shitstorm?

Santorum did that when he trotted her out on stage. All the sticky does is display a public image that's been out on the web for months. It's not like we're making fun of her class photo.

[Liberal Veteran]

44. I liked her better when she was on Little House on the Prairie, but...

...at least she got to keep the outfits.

[jgraz]

49. She just realized that her dad was going to be around the house a lot more

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

51. First her dad lost, then Sanjaya.

[TwilightGardener]

56. ...

:spray:

[WildEyedLiberal]

107. Best post in the thread

:thumbsup:

[high density]

47. To be honest I didn't even know who that was

before I saw this thread.

[jgraz]

53. That's the other thing -- it's only funny if you've already seen the image

In other words, let's lighten up a bit.

[Beaverhausen]

54. Plenty of us had to endure this image and the immature comments for weeks

after the election last November. There's no way I could forget who she was.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

68. You had to "endure?"

Oh, what a cross to bear.

:rofl:

[Beaverhausen]

75. Endure your and others' childishness

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

79. Oh, the humanity!

If only there were some sort of "ignore" or "hide" function.

Certainly can't turn the "humorless stick-in-the-mud" option off.

[walldude]

50. Wow lots of people justifying picking on a little kid

How.. um.. DUish. Nothing like being proud of really clever political retorts :eyes:

[jgraz]

57. Nobody's picking on a little kid

She'd actually have to be her for us to pick on her.

[walldude]

67. So then you think Rush's picture

of Chelsea Clinton, the WH dog was Ok...

[jgraz]

71. Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying

I also think Hitler wasn't that bad, just misunderstood. :eyes:

[walldude]

73. Well I can't argue with that logic...

Rush picking on a kid bad... Du picking on a kid funny. Ok I think I have my marching orders straight, thanks.

[jgraz]

76. Good to know

When you're ready, we'll start work on subtlety.

[walldude]

83. Gee somehow I don't think I'll ever be clever enough

to understand your version of "subtlety". Damn shame too, I mean with all the things going on, the death, the mayhem, the destruction and pain, what I really need a lesson in is understanding the subtlety of dissing a 7 year old kid behind their back. Enjoy your day...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

89. The Only Difference Between A Right Wing Hater And A Left Wing Hater Is Their Target...

And I'm guilty of it myself at times...

[WI_DEM]

63. and if it was somebody picking on a Democrats child they would be up in arms

there is a bit of hypocrisy.

[walldude]

72. Yeah just a bit. Sad part of this is...

I'm not surprised to see this on here and I'm not surprised to see the defense of it.

[Liberal Veteran]

55. It's a hell of a lot nice than what her dad said about MY family.

[jgraz]

64. What? You aren't gay or something, are you?

:P

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

60. Fucking awesome!

:thumbsup:

[BeHereNow]

99. Like I said to you a while back- Nice...real nice. Not.

BHN

[jgraz]

61. BWAH -- thanks to whoever posted the smiley version!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[CatWoman]

65. JUST SAW THAT!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Annces]

74. I agree

Enjoying another's pain is really low.

[William769]

85. Some people in our party are not classy.

You don't have to look no farther than this thread to see that. But then again that sets one thing out above the rest on either side.

[Colobo]

87. I'm with you ronny. Some people here are like Freepers. The same attacking style.

[BeHereNow]

101. Whaddaya mean "LIKE...???"

I think some people here would encourage to edit that line.
Omit the "like" and all...
BHN

[Call Me Wesley]

93. Hey, here's an idea!

Can someone make a Hitler out of her? This would soooooooooooooooooooooo rock!

For the ones not getting it: :sarcasm:

:hug: Ronny!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

96. so true. tasteless and tacky.

[Missy Vixen]

97. Thanks, Ronny

Everytime I see that photo here, I'm sick inside. Of course, you will get mucho posts from those who can't wait to tell you you're infringing on their "freedom of speech" and "trying to control them".

For those who think it's such a brilliant idea, why don't you send me a photo of one of YOUR children, obviously distraught, and I'll post it here whenever I feel like mocking someone?

An eight-year-old is not an acceptable political target, no matter WHO her parents are. When we sink to their level, we are them.

Julie

[Beausoir]

102. Hey Julie!

:toast:

[Missy Vixen]

104. Beausoir!

I've been thinking about you.

:hug: :toast: :hug:

I hope you'll give every one of your kids a hug and a kiss from Auntie Julie ;-).

Julie

[Kurovski]

100. Depending on one's point of view, this thread either made it worse ir better.

:rofl: Great stuff.

[Virginia Dare]

103. Oh well, it was classier than the guy who posted..

a picture of his own ass..:rofl:

[ComerPerro]

105. Santorums daughter crying on stage election night was the funniest thing I have seen in a while

its all theatre anyway

[katamaran]

106. I felt sorry for the girl. The BOY however, wants to go back to Hogwarts ASAP

[Raine]

110. Aw phooey he was the one who trotted

his crying kids out, he used them first.

[symbolman]

111. No one's calling her a Whore

or wishing someone would Murder her, etc.

Sheesh, it's a REAL reaction from someone associated with a PHONEY asshole who wants to rule the universe with insanity..

IRONY anyone? It's HONEST and that's why people chuckle at it, no one's enjoying the Pain of a Brainwashed kid.

Too bad there are people, SOME PEOPLE who claim that SOME PEOPLE are LIKE Freepers when they're just KIDDING around.

It's actually like THOUGHT POLICE here at times, good thing it doesn't WORK, but I'm also glad that those who protest have the SAME RIGHT to FREE SPEECH that those who Laugh have. :)
