PUMAs invade Denver: ROAR!!!!

For those who don't know, (or those who aren't planning to crash their happy hour with DCJonesy, Jack and I) PUMA (Party Unity My Ass) is a coalition of Hillary supporters who aren't supporting Barack Obama for a variety of inane reasons/conspiracy theories, each one stranger than the last. Are there really people this stupid, you ask? Well, luckily for us, they have a poorly written blog to capture all of their outrage! Some Highlights from the last few days:
That was Hillary’s message to us. KEEP RUNNING. Never give up. Never quit.
Cause that was definitely Hillary's message last night. That may seem strange to you or I, but PUMAs speak in a code where no matter what Hillary actually says... they're clued in on it's real meaning.
JUST SNAPPED THIS PHOTO MOMENTS AGO INSIDE PUMAPAC HQ — WE ARE WATCHING THE INTRO — CHELSEA’S AD. PUMAS ARE CRYING AND YELLING WITH JOY. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE HERE. WE ARE ALL THINKING ABOUT YOU AT HOME.
I'm pretty sure PUMA HQ=Hallway of local Motel 6 if that picture is to be believed. Also, I think "crying and yelling with joy" might be my new favorite expression. You gotta love a blog post written in all caps. CAN'T YOU TELL WE'RE YELLING WITH JOY HERE AT PUMA HQ?!

This next one might be my personal favorite. First the clip of these idiots getting interviewed and (owned) by Chris Mathews of all people, and then read the amazing recap of how it went down if saw the event through PUMA vision:
MSNBO!
Just got back from our Union Station rally in front of the MSNBC tent. We STOLE the show! Chris Matthews was there; David Shuster was there — Riverdaughter was leading the charge and had everyone chanting No We Won’t!, What does democracy look like? This is what democracy looks like! Sexist Pig (to Chris Matthews himself!) HILLARY! Will post photos as they come up.
We got ourselves a posse and went down to Union Station in front of the MSNBC kiosk. We protested and shouted slogans (in NPR-speak) and completely drowned out the Obamaphiles.

We had a lot of support from passersby. I was very encouraged that there were many sympathetic people. I don’t think the Obama people knew what hit them. They’ve had such a free ride for so long. No one challenged them. no one was skeptical. They have been handled with kid gloves like pampered little brats. But in the face of all of the people they’ve been calling stupid, old women, they seemed oddly subdued.

Chris Matthews made an appearance and stood there silently while some of us finally got a chance to tell him how we felt to his face. The coward waited until we left before he came down from the stage to talk to the crowd.

I can still remember all those debates when Obama seemed to go out of his way just to ridicule old women. I thought it was a bad idea at the time, but if he'd known then that it would lead to a full-on uprising of 30-40 people at a 3000 person convention, I bet he would have laid off.

But wait, in addition to grade school quality writing, their site also has thought provoking photoshops:
DAMN! I knew there was something that bothered me about Biden!

With these types of leaps in logic, they might as well been hanging around with 9/11 Truthers and anti-Semite conspiracy theorists. What's that you say? They were among the 60 people who attended their conference? Well I guess I should have seen that coming.

Oh and they've made a racist video too? SHOCKING.

Thanks to Kevin K. of Rumproast for his amazing PUMA coverage.

PUMAS! Your entertainment for the 2008 Democratic Convention.

  3. James Carville's shoes are awesome. Kevin K. shouldn't hate on the PUMA brand just because some crazy, racists are abusing it.

  4. Amazing. You guys should try as hard as possible to get interviewed by anyone who covers the event.
