Is the conservative movement going to the… hamsters?

Rate: 9 Flag

 

First, a bunch of Kansas DJs decides to "teabag" the White House.  Then, in conjunction with the release of its overwrought “Gathering Storm” ad, the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) launches its 2M4M Campaign.  Such misnamed bids for relevancy raise a host of questions:

  1. Can conservatives truly be so clueless about popular culture?
  2. Did the organizers not have access to Google?
  3. If they had search engine access, why didn't they use it?
  4. How could NOM have been so disorganized as to forget to buy the domain name 2M4M.org before announcing its campaign?  
  5. Or was NOM so clever that it anticipated marriage equality proponents would snatch up the 2M4M URL for a website named 2 Men For Marriage
  6. Are the anti-fair tax folks secretly pro-oral sex?
  7. Are the anti-gay commitment folks secretly pro-gay orgy?
  8. Were the Tea-baggers and 2M4M-ers infiltrated by ironists?
  9. Do some of them have a secret penchant for humiliation?
  10. Could the groups be filled with closeted LGBT-ers longing to be free?

Finally, as a friend of a friend suggests, could the real relevancy of NOM, and perhaps by association the modern conservative movement, be hidden in this video?

Oh dear, they'll store wedding cake in their cheeks? =o) Or just pointlessly run in place believing they 're getting somewhere? Rated
I guess the only thing I'm thankful for is that the conservatives don't breed like rabbits and hamsters. There are enough of them already (conservatives, not bunnies and hamsters)! Rated.
Very clever, and very funny, especially the link to the hamster video!
Rachel Maddow except more clever.
Shiral, after viewing the teabagger clips today, it must be the later - running, running, running indeed! cartouche, I must agree - never enuf bunnies and hamsters. Colin, thank you for stopping by. My dear Monsieur, high praise indeed. (How did you know about my secret crush on Rachel?)
hi shivaun, good chuckles here
Roy, thanks for stopping by. Glad you got a few chuckles. ... despite the fact that they were gained at the expense of the poor hamsters!
@cartouche: great point about the breeding!

too funny...!
nom, nom, nom, nom... ;)
You've provided a smile to the start of this day.
Scupper, glad to be able to give you a little chuckle!
I think NOM is pronounced "Gnome." If this is true and how that is relevant, I can't say.
Touche! he he he he he
I love this post!!!

Welcome to my world, you are so in it!
wakingupslowly, thank you for stopping by. I think that we have a mutual admiration society going here. ;)
