Is this funny? Or is it more "Stench"?

Not as funny as this comment of the video..


Is it just me, or is comparing the GoP to a classroom of young children the most ironic thing that has ever been on You Tube?

It's neither. It's not funny because it is such an obvious distortion of what Obama said. This sort of humor works best when it has some kernel of truth. That video is not funny because it misses its mark.

It's not stench, either. "Stench" was the word that GOP guy used to describe the anticipated result of Ryan's affiliation with Romney. It wasn't an attempt at parody.

Apples and oranges.

What, is the rule that 'funny' cannot distort? What are we going to do with the recently decreed unfunny "Colbert Report"? Oh the humanity!

No, funny almost has to distort, but there has to be some truth to the joke as well. IMHO.

What part of "you didn't build that" was distorted? Your view is that there is not a single kernel of "truth" in the video? What part of the "stench" writing did you misunderstand when the writer specifically said it was a parody?
You looking in your mirror will rest my case.

Everything. The parents in the video belittled the girl's accomplishment. Obama didn't belittle anything. He pointed out that a good environment for business success requires some level of public involvement. His point takes nothing from the successful business person.Yes, at least for the first 50 seconds or so. I quit watching after that. Did I miss anything?Which writing are you talking about? The report on what the GOP guy said? Or the parody about Paul Ryan's reaction to it? I haven't read either of them, so I am probably not qualified to say. Once again, I think you may be reading more into my words than I intended to say. All I am saying is that the "stench of Romney" is a strong combination of words and that it gets much of its power from an underlying truth - Romney has shown himself to be an effortless liar and a scumbag. "Stench" is a good choice of words, IMHO.Well, hey, that's great for you. Good on ya, mate.

It is funny or funnier than the obvious left side distortions of anything coming from the right and you know it.

Stench was the word in satire from a GOP guy picked up by left media and attempted to unsuccessfully parlay into the truth.

Lemons and Limes, Dude...:rolleyes:

There's your liberal bias showing again.

I thought the clip was perfect and an excellent parody of exactly what Obama thinks............even if the words are not identical.

Obama wants the entire community to get the credit for individual accomplishments and he wants the individual who accomplished to pay for the entire community.

An excellent and very prescient clip.

Actually, the words were identical to some of the words Obama used. It's the meaning that was different.I hear that a lot and I wonder why people reach that conclusion. Obama has never said anything of the sort and his policies are not consistent with that outlook.It was posted less than a month ago. How do you know that it is prescient?

This thread is AMAZING!

The video was perfect. It framed Obama's revealing comment perfectly. The "you didn't build that" comment explains PERFECTLY how B.O., the closet socialist, thinks. The video was a perfect lesson about how he thinks.

After B.O.'s mistaken and revealing comment, NOW the libby commy's get touchy about it. The sad thing is that they are so zealous about their hero, they are completely unwilling to learn from this. I'm sure that some of them would object to the video IF the zealousness they have for their Messiah were not so blind.

Priceless!

Great moments in DNC history.

Grandma off the cliff.

The Obama administration signing off on an ad insinuating that Mitt Romney killed a woman and the vice president refusing to back away from the suggestion that Romney wants to put black people back in chains.

Obama vs Hillary: They hammered Hillary Clinton for requiring that everyone buy health insurance or pay a penalty (wait, isn’t that…yeah)

The most infamous negative ad of all time in 1964, declaring that the Republican nominee would get everyone killed in a nuclear war.

Don't forget his highness Harry Reid insisting that Romney had paid ZERO tax in the last ten years! How did that guy get by with such a malicious LIE?:confused::mad:

Of course you could pick it apart and find the discrepancies. On the surface, Obama wants the entire community to benefit from the success of the individual. The clip notably distorts it a bit and stretches the meaning, but the intent is the same.





You need to look within and understand that you're heavily biased toward Obama and cannot see the forest through the trees. Obama's policies are absolutely consistent with that outlook.






Bad choice of word late at night. "Apropos" would be to the point.

I doubt that it is "most," though it certainly is "many." The number of people who believe that would go down, I suspect, if they knew what Obama really said:I think that most people who read that, even those who dislike Obama, know that the video distorted his meaning. That's why the video is not funny. It attempts to make fun of something that never happened.
