Obama Supporters! - Lets open a can of Whoop Ass on Elton John!

[peoli]

Its expected that tonights concert for Hillary will raise 2.5 million(lets hope shes pays clean up crew.) Well fuck Elton John! I say we one-up his ass! If each of donates $1 (one dollar) here on DU we will raise 2.6 million as there are 2.6 million of us here! Get your friends and neighbors to contribute too and we can make it close to 2.7 million(most of you dont have friends, I know). Lets do it! OBAMA!!!!

[Occam Bandage]

1. I can only assume this is a bit of satirical whimsy.

[flor de jasmim]

2. I can see that she is inching her way forward (BARELY):

[Lucky 13]

19. Wow... that TV airtime catagory is HURTING.

:rofl:

[NeedleCast]

3. No Thanks, I like Elton

Wish he had chosen Obama, but I'm not going to lash out at the guy because he's helping Hillary out.

[olkaz]

7. Just FYI

The OP isn't suggesting that we lash out at Elton John.

[NeedleCast]

34. No?

Lets open a can of Whoop Ass on Elton John!

Title of OP suggests otherwise.

[olkaz]

40. Are you seriously suggesting that the OP is being literal? n/m

It doesn't seem to me that he/she is trying to promote violence against him. Maybe I'm missing something.

[NeedleCast]

43. Meh, maybe you're right

I just dont really want to be associated with anything that has to do with "whooping ass" on Elton John. I'm sure I'll continue to donate to Obama, I'm just not going to do it behind a "whoop ass" banner.

[knixphan]

46. lol - ignore the banner

but donate!

[SoxFan]

16. I'll take a whack, then

I'll lash out at him because his music is boring, overproduced, twaddle.

Oh, and "Sir" Elton is a self-absorbed knob who treats the local arena staff, caterers, limo drivers, etc like serfs to be abused.

[Cha]

48. Really? 'Cause I'm pretty

pissed at 'im for trying to screw around with American politics by backing a freakin' Liar. I really thought he was smarter.

I'll take Dave Matthews, anyday, who has actually done his homework.

[SwampG8r]

83. amen

i did load-in/load-out for the little bastard and hes the rudest little turd ive ever met myself included

and the music is indeed crap
(thats just my opinion )

[greguganus]

4. Maybe he will open with "The Bitch Is Back" n/t

[ShortnFiery]

12. MAUDE says, "God's gonna get ya for that one!"

:evilgrin:

[rocktivity]

24. In honor of the PA debate this weekend

I predict that he'll open with "Saturday Night's All Right For Fighting."


rocknation

[Orsino]

49. Thta would be pretty funny, if he and Clinton were in on the joke.

Neat way to take some of the power of the word from the haters.

[Catherina]

56. If he uses that word, Hillary should disown him immediately. n/t

[SoFlaJet]

5. naaaa

I can't do it horseface. hey WE ain't the side that goes on and on about hating people who don't support our current candidate-leave that to the other siders-the FEW of them. Not all HRC's people are as divisive as say a Taylor Marsh, who will not even vote for the dem if it's not Clinton. I'm happy to report there are fewer and fewer of them saying that-now we gotta work on the Obama supporters who say they won't vote dem if it ain't Barack.

Oh yea,I have been listening to Elton's first album Empty Sky all morning

[redqueen]

20. But he's not saying to diss Elton... just to donate...

beat his fundraising numbers... that's all. :)

[SoFlaJet]

22. we may do it again this month queen

made our first political donation a week ago...

[redqueen]

26. I like the idea so I will probably donate again today.

I've only donated to TWO campaigns... Kucinich's & Obamas. I am poor. :P

:hi:

[SoFlaJet]

32. I have kids LOL

who are struggling-my 2 daughters have 4 kids between them and granma and grampa have been paying for a lot of bills the past 4 years-it ain't as easy to raise a family in the Bush error (no mistake there) as it was under the Clinton administration I can tell you that.

29. Sure this is a complete nice way to say it

Well fuck Elton John! I say we one-up his ass! i talk that way about everyone that is a Obama supporter :crazy:

[redqueen]

33. Uh... no, it's not a "nice" way to say it... but not everyone is a Shiny Happy Person.

:shrug:

[SwampG8r]

84. made me listen to this

Shiny happy people laughing
Meet me in the crowd
People people
Throw your love around
Love me love me
Take it into town
Happy happy
Put it in the ground
Where the flowers grow
Gold and silver shine

Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing

Everyone around love them, love them
Put it in your hands
Take it take it
There's no time to cry
Happy happy
Put it in your heart
Where tomorrow shines
Gold and silver shine

Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing

[DemocratSinceBirth]

37. His Early Stuff Was Good

Everything up to Good Bye Yellow Brick Road... It's a great album but that's when he went power pop...

Power pop ain't bad if done well...

[cali]

6. Fuck Elton John? Because he's suppporting Clinton?

Really? I can't imagine anything stupider.

[Kaylee]

35. Does anyone actually read an OP anymore?

He's asking us to DONATE to counter the money Clinton will raise off the Elton John concert tonight

[ShortnFiery]

8. I much preferred Rod Steward during the 1970s but hey, good for HRC.

:shrug:

[babylonsister]

9. He's welcome to support who he wants, and good for Clinton for

getting that support. I'll wait for Springsteen. ;)

[SoFlaJet]

21. I'm hoping to get to ask him who he's supporting

in a couple weeks sis. I've gotten a chance to meet him a few times at the bar I work-great guy-a true democrat. I'd bet all my guitars that Bruce is an Obama supporter

[NYCGirl]

10. Don't be silly. NT

[PA Democrat]

11. No. He's entitled to support whomever he chooses.

[shayes51]

45. exactly

[mckeown1128]

13. I like Elton John... so I don't agree with your words...

however I will donate some money tonight.

[Lucinda]

14. I'll get right on that.

:rofl:

[rodeodance]

25. .........

haha --good one


:rofl:

[Life Long Dem]

15. It will tank on it's own. And they'll blame Elton John.

[azmouse]

17. I like Elton John's music.

Good luck to those at tonight's concert.

[mrJJ]

18. Foolish

Ridiculous. He (Elton John) has a right to show his support for anyone he chooses. Better to fight for your candidate then fight the candidates supporters. This protracted primary is beginning to wear thin. Best of luck to all the Dem Senate and Congressional seats in play in November.

[redqueen]

23. I think your curse word is distracting people.

if you took out the "Fuck Elton John!" maybe people would see the message instead of the nasty mean word.

:hi:

[anamandujano]

27. Obama already annoys with his ads running every 20 min. More money

means he'll run them every 10 minutes. Yeah, that sounds good.

[cooolandrew]

28. Well I wouldn't beat on Elton myself, but I encourage more donations to Barack. Money well spent.

[golddigger]

30. "2.6 million of us here on DU." Man you need to get out more.

:silly: :rofl:

[Jamastiene]

65. I know. Currently, there are only 118,506 users registered here on DU.

There is something funky with the math the OP is using. I can't help but laugh. :rofl:

[Condem]

68. Yes,Jamastiene

And, the majority, not Elton John fans.

[Upton]

31. I've never liked Elton John

I like Hillary even less. 2.5 million isn't much in today's world of politics, but Elton is well past his prime as is Clinton.

[MoonRiver]

61. As opposed to that spry young chicken Ted Kennedy

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[golddigger]

36. "Most of you Obama supporters don't have friends, I know." True!

:rofl:

[dchill]

38. Let's wait until Saturday Night...

it's all right for fightin'.
:shrug:

[Crunchy Frog]

39. Hey, I'm glad Hillary's getting some money.

Maybe she can finally pay the insurance premiums for her staff.

I like Elton John just fine, even though I don't support the same candidate he is. If this in an attempt to make Obama supporters look bad, I don't think it's going to work. We mostly don't hate somone just for supporting the other candidate. It's the Hilllary supporters who do that. :)

[endarkenment]

41. This is stupid.

Try raising money for Obama in some less divisive and idiotic way, ok?

[peoli]

42. Haha! I just got back in. Nevar forget to put the sarcasm button here at DU I guess

Jeez! If you cant tell the post is totally SARCASTIC then you need ......something.

[knixphan]

47. 25 bucks from me

comin' up!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

50. You must ride the O short bus eh?

[SoxFan]

58. Oooh, handicapped jokes! You win!

Stay classy, Chappaqua!

[Jamastiene]

66. You owe me a keyboard.

:spray:

:rofl:

:P

[mkultra]

51. all i have in the cabinent is a small baby jar of whoop Ass

Is that enough?

[intaglio]

52. By all reports Elton is not averse to a little Whoop ass

as long as there are safe words, limits all the usual precautions

[Condem]

53. C'mon,guys

I'm listening to Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy. This is some deep shit. I'm trying to CONCENTRATE. Whoh, I think Philadelphia Freedom is up next. Truly a rock classic!

[Steely_Dan]

76. Great Album

Wonderful tribute to his lyricist, Bernie Taupin.

-P

[saracat]

54. And you people are the ones that call HRC supporters bitter?

Whay is it okay for all the celebrities who support Obama to do things for him? Why do you sesent Sir Elton so much for this? So he doesn't like your choice? So what? Why on eartyh do you even care who he does a fundraiser for and why is it your business to protest?

[BlooInBloo]

55. Let's not. I like Elton John.

[sueragingroz]

57. I wonder when Elton is playing Arizona next.....

:rofl:

[shaniqua6392]

59. Why do you hate Elton John??

That just sounds bitter. If Sen. Clinton wants to have a fund raiser with a celebrity, so be it. Elton is a terrific person and performer and it is his right to endorse whomever he chooses.

[Dinger]

60. You Could Have Used A Better Choice Of Words Than This:

"I say we one-up his ass!" to encourage people to support Obama.

[Jamastiene]

67. There is some comedic GOLD in this thread.

:spray:

[Dinger]

Self-delete

Dupe

[Dinger]

71. Hi Friend!

How ya doin'?:hi:

[JVS]

62. Is this concert going to be on TV?

[mountainvue]

63. Trying to one up Elton John?

Good luck with that.

[Condem]

64. Is Milli Vanilli still around?

[bigwillq]

69. So now it's wrong for a celebrity

(or any person for that matter) to like a candidate not named Obama? :shrug:

[AX10]

70. You seem quite bitter these days.

But hey, you guys got Kate Walsh Scarlett Johanssen :eyes: who are supporting Obama because he is "inspirational". :crazy:

[Steely_Dan]

72. Of Course...

The OP doesn't mean it literally.

However, this kind of post is disturbing on so many levels. Why is it necessary to use such language as "Whoop (his) Ass?" Come on, grow up. Do you realize that we are all on the same team? The tenor of your OP reflects the kind of immaturity that is too often seen in Obama supporters. I can almost hear you saying that if we are not for Obama than we are just plain wrong. I don't support either of the remaining candidates. I think that they both putting the Dem party at risk in November for very different reasons.

Cut back on the "whoop ass" crap. Show some class by letting your rivals have their day. Learn how to be as humble in victory as you are in defeat. You might actually win people over to your way of thinking.

-P

[AmericanUnity]

73. I quit liking Elton John after Yellow Brick Road. He lost his voice and started doing whimpy music.

[pettypace]

74. Elton's got some pretty good songs

But thank god Barack didn't get the endorsement from that queen.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

"queen"

Are you sure you didn't mean to post at Free Republic and accidentally make a left turn?

[kdpeters]

75. Call it -- "Funeral for a Friend/Her Campaign Lies Bleeding"

I'd slide Hillary a $50 to see Elton John in concert. Would that make me a john?

[donheld]

77. I still love Elton

sue me.

[Clintonista2]

78. Hey senator Kerry. Haven't seen you in a while.

[LittleClarkie]

86. A supporter who wished for a photo

Is that the new euphemism for "stalker"?

[Cha]

79. You were prescient, horseface..

You opened up a can o whupass on sir elton before he opened it on us!

[IamyourTVandIownyou]

80. Obama should get Menudo/Debbie Gibson to do a reunion show.

And pull from her hispanic and female base.

lol.

Desperate times call for desperate fundraising.

[WhiteTara]

82. you are a horse face n/t

[LittleClarkie]

85. Can you feel the love tonight....

Nah. I'll donate, but I'm not fucking Elton John unless he buys me dinner first.
