I Just Pulled my Grandson out of a Tree and Told Him to Stop Acting like a Monkey !
I swear, I've glanced at DU only twice today and seen the front page of GD:P covered by the most innane, superfluous, desperate bullshit I've ever seen in my life. And yes, 90% of the bullshit by Hillary supporters, whatever their stripe may be.

Are you adults, or has this place been overrun by teenagers at their mommy's computers? Do you really sit around all day and think posting crap like this is anything but a total waste of time and space? Once again, the day cannot come too soon that Hillary and her lies are forced out of this sham of a "race" that she absolutely cannot and will not win, and all of you (I'd say about 20 of you) are prevented from taking over this MB with this juvenile garbage.

And Obama supporters.. why, oh why, do you spend your time responding to this trollish tripe?

Oh, and if I don't answer, I'm either outside getting my little monkey out of the oak tree or.. more likely.. you're already ignored.

6. I'm glad that you did.
The human body has evolved. If we tried to do everything a monkey can do, we'd kill ourselves.

Don't act like a monkey because you can get seriously hurt!

But on the other hand, is it OK to act like a monkey on the monkey bars? If you look at the Olympic sports that comprise gymnastics, isn't it all just a bunch of extremely formalized monkeying around?

Now I'm all confused.

12. Once again, you're missing the entire point
How surprising.

The OP said "acting like monkeys" - not calling them monkeys.

Just like the Obama superdelegate did. She never called the children monkeys, she only told them to stop acting like monkeys - because they were playing around in a tree - like monkeys.

Sheesh - is it really this difficult for you to understand that?

13. Except that's not what happened.
Thanks for giving us all this practice in shooting down twisted stories. We are going to need it in the fall when the Freepers start acting like this. But really, you guys need to give it a rest.

She did not call the kids monkeys. She said they should quit acting like monkeys. This implies that they were NOT monkeys, that they could act better than they were, and she expected them to.

21. I just did for shits and giggles
They are my own kids though. I tend to call the four year old a little monkey when she is climbing on the couch. I guess that is different since I'm black? :shrug:

16. You're so right.
They were really out in force today with lots of faux outrage over every little thing.
It was quite amazing to see.
I wonder if some new Clinton scandal is about to break and they're trying to deflect attention from it? :tinfoilhat:

17. "That little monkey really gets around doesn't he?"
Howard Cosell's infamous comment about Washington Redskins receiver Alvin Garrett. Cosell claimed he used the term of affection that he called his grandson.

22. My boss once told me to order some monkey wrenches
At the time, I didn't think anything of it. But looking back, how do I know he wasn't being a racist? :tinfoilhat:
