My impresssion of what DU looks like right now....

[Bicoastal]

FOR HILLARY!!


FOR OBAMA!!


FOR EDWARDS!!


YAAAAAARGH!!!

[DS1]

1. At least Gerard Butler doesn't hate the joooz

:)

[roguevalley]

21. he's a handsome man but I love the elves. :)

[ray of light]

2. Some might say D.U. looks like Free Republic

Never seen such swiftboating against our own teammates. Who needs Freepers when we've got the circling firing squad here.

[Reciprocity]

5. I was thinking the same thing when I read Bill being called Slick Willy on a thread and

CNN being called the Clinton News Network. These are terms I saw over in freepervile.

[ray of light]

25. irritates me to no end. perhaps we could accomplish so much more

if we put aside our name calling and dissing of other candidates and we focused on the truly corrupt republicans.

[robbedvoter]

40. Yeah - like "what's wrong with Drudge?" Paglia and "journalist" Rove's wisdom

[RiverStone]

54. What? The freepers walk and talk in lockstep...

Damn good thing we have a diversity of opinion!

Politics is a full contact sport.

I think thats called the primaries - or Democracy.

DU will be just fine.:)

After the convention, we will close ranks.

[aka-chmeee]

3. Congratulations!

On your impressive powers of perception and communication. I love it!

[ribrepin]

4. Excellent likeness of DU just now

I avoid clicking on any thread with Obama, Clinton or Edwards in the title.

[Reciprocity]

6. Then I guess your not reading much on GD or GDP.

It's hard to have a grown up discussion about the candidates anymore. I'm voting for whoever our nominee is, and will not have to hold my nose to do it this time.

[ribrepin]

34. That would be a correct assumption

I'm checking the Greatest, Editorials, Economy and Lounge forums regularly. I'm trying to stay away from GD and GDP since my man Biden dropped out. Peace Out.

[mnhtnbb]

7. You are missing out on a good personal story I wrote

See this: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=2666995&mesg_id=2666995

[HughMoran]

8. I like it!

We are the Warriors!

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

9. Ahhhh Fuck. Now I Gotta Root For Obama. I Fuckin LOVE Braveheart!

[alfredo]

14. Liked Rob Roy Better. Revenge was so satisfying.

[Reciprocity]

19. And I have to root for Edwards because I love Lord of the Rings. n/t

[Mz Pip]

10. I thought 2004 was bad.

This is a thousand times worse.

If we are so polarized within our own party how will we ever come together for the big showdown in November?

Mz Pip
:dem:

[Radio_Lady]

43. My thoughts exactly. I can hardly read or post right now.

It's just horrible... and I don't know when it will get any better.

[mcscajun]

11. I'm a fan of LOTR; does this mean I have to vote for Edwards now?

:D

[warrior1]

12. And on the republican side

[alfredo]

15. No, more like this:

[hunter]

27. The guy on the right is using the George W. Bush strategy: Naked Emporer.

The mainstream media is crazy about him.

[alfredo]

31. The panties don't have the Presidential Seal.

[hunter]

32. Well, he hasn't been (s)elected yet.

You don't get the Presidential Seal until after the (s)election.

[alfredo]

33. He's practicing.

[mcscajun]

16. Those must be the Thompson supporters.

:rofl:

[mogster]

13. Haha!

Priceless! :rofl:

[RB TexLa]

17. That's what campaigns are supposed to look like

[SaveOurDemocracy]

18. Love it!! n/t

[Scriptor Ignotus]

20. THIS IS SPARTAFREEDOMFOR MIDDLE EARTH!!!!!

heh heh, hilarious.

[radfringe]

22. you got it

[blondeatlast]

23. AGAINST MEDIA MANIPULATION AND TROLLS FOULING MY NEIGHBORHOOD BAR--

at least that's how I see myself this morning.

I've defended HRC more in the past few days than I have my guy Edwards--and I prefer Obama over her.

[Reciprocity]

39. Isn't that the way of it nowadays.

Some of us can like all three at the same time even if we prefer one of them over the others.

[SaveAmerica]

24. Clearly Edwards will win, his people have razor sharp points on their helmets!!

Obama's people are in skirts and it looks like Hillary's killed her people.

[zippy890]

26. good observations

& made me laugh

:)

[Uncle Joe]

28. Put Neo of the Matrix in there and you have for Al Gore! n/t

[radfringe]

29. k&r

[SalmonChantedEvening]

30. Every Girl crazy bout a Sharp Dressed Elf

JE08 :D

[Pachamama]

44. This one is!!!!

:kick:

[Yuugal]

35. Edwards/Elrond 2008!

Hillary and Obama, please put the corporate money ring into the volcano this time.

[tekisui]

36. Just wait until those forces join to DESTROY the pukes.

I can't wait.

We are on the side of good!!!

[Redneck Socialist]

37. Of all those folks the only ones that won were the elves.

Go Edwards!

[kenfrequed]

38. Hmm

So what do the "For Kucinich" people look like?

Let's see the first too are really, really bad history. The third is fantasy. I suppose I would go with the fantastical rather than the bad History. And yes I do get that it is a joke.

[scarletwoman]

41. I am, like, SO hanging with the Elves!

Thanks for this great thread!

sw

[DarkTirade]

42. I'd go with the elves.

They've got thousands of years of skill, plus they've got the ranged weapons.

[bonito]

45. My guess Edwards would win

The rest are just propaganda.

[tom_paine]

46. Perhaps more like "The Hobbit" (can't wait for the movies to come out)

First, the Battle of Three Armies.



But before the mortal blows can be struck, Gandalf appears to warn of a greater threat, Goblins and Wargs!





Then, the Battle of Five Armies is joined! Perhaps the eagles will help us carry the day!



How much better will these images be when Peter Jackson has his way!

[radfringe]

47. wish I could "rec" this thread again, but I'll settle for giving it a kick

[xchrom]

48. my head is snapping around like crazy -- all those men in

armour and skins and holding big spears ---

[JMDEM]

49. I assume the 4th picture

represents what happens in Iran if a Republican is elected in November?

[youthere]

50. Actually it reminds me more of monkeys throwing shit at each other.

[JMDEM]

52. But less rewarding. NT.

[youthere]

53. ...

:rofl:

[JMDEM]

51. Good post. I too pleaded for some reaon around here

And that post was attacked (of course). I felt like one of those diplomats who ventures into enemy territory with a peace offering, and gets his head sent back on a platter to the whoever sent him.

Oh, and I just wanted to add this: MY CANDIDATE IS BETTER THAN YOURS! NEENER NEENER NEENER NEENER!!!! :)

[GrpCaptMandrake]

55. You're going to have to find a different image for Edwards

The Elves are definitely behind Kucinich.

[badgerpup]

56. Those long-handled fighting knives the elves were sporting...bad design.

I mean, they looked cool and all...but the handles as long as the blades?
Screws up anything approaching balance...

I like 'cool-looking' weapons as much as the next person, but when it's a choice between 'cool-looking' and good design, I'll take good design, thank you.
In damascus steel, please...if you have it. :evilgrin:

[DarkTirade]

58. They're made for a wide two-handed grip for extra leverage

The japanese and chinese did a lot of similar things with some of their slashing weapons. Some of them were almost polearms, with hilts slightly longer than the blades. (I.E., the chinese kwandao) And the europeans used the long grip for their very heaviest swords so that they could use the extra leverage. Not THAT long, of course, but that's because a claymore with a claymore-length hilt would no longer be a sword, it'd be a polearm. :)

For a single person's fighting weapon it's actually pretty good design. However for regimented sword and shield work... not so smart. Need the free hand for the shield, and trying to use something with a hilt that long one-handed is just not gonna work. Bad balance, as you mentioned, not to mention the whole extra bit of hilt sticking out and making it easy be knocked out of your hand.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

57. Don't forget the Kucinich supporters...

[scarletwoman]

59. That is utterly perfect!

I don't know if you meant it to be snarky or not, and I honestly don't care. I just simply love it.

Kucinich may yet be our Frodo. And as someone posted above, Edwards/Elrond would definitely be a kick-ass ticket! I'm for both.

Yay, Hobbits! Yay, Elves!
