We should have a LOL caption contest for this.

  1. Come on. Where’s Ted Hagga… oh nevermind.

  2. This is a Baker’s Dozen. Ted Haggard is in the picture, but is hiding in a hole. Guess whose?

    How about we list the things a person could learn from that bunch?

    Ann Coulter: 911 widows are glad their husbands died

    Novak: outing undercover NOCs is journalism at it’s best

    Malkin: good journalism means posting peoples private info on the web so unhinged wingnuts can drive them to suicide

    D’Souza: divorce caused 911

    You could probably squeeze out enough material like this to fill a semester…

    I made the mistake of clicking on the image to follow the link. They also sell the neocon version of a pin-up poster of Coulter. I had to scrub salt and lemon juice into my eyes to get rid of the image.

  5. I don’t think it needs much changing at all…

    …when I first saw that, my impression was that they were complaining about being uneducated. And admitting they have this problem is the first step to recovery…

  7. In the spirit of SMC’s comment:
    WE R IN UR CLAS, LRNIN NUTHIN

  8. Change takes a long time to accomplish unless some apocalyptic event shortcuts the process. Thank god for these people, because they’re accelerating change. The way World War II allowed Germany and Japan a fresh start with a new Zero Day, the American conservative movement is busy, busy, busy getting us there.

    Lol-ing is just inappropriate in this case. These are serious people with a serious agenda of demolition so that Zero Day can present itself and all they get for their effort is liberal snarkiness.

    PS: And the bargains! Did you note that posters of Chimpy are free with another poster purchase? I can get Ann and George, both, for under $5+SH. Wheeee!

  9. The caption that’s already on there made me LOL.

    We sold our souls and integrity, and all we got was rich and famous.

    WARNING: Exposure to sunlight, garlic, silver, or cold cold iron may cause your new conservative indoctrinator to combust. Keep away from children. And airport bathrooms.

    Who’s the blonde pre-op transexual? The adams apple is barely visible in that photo.

  14. Deepsix

    How ironic. I looked up “adams apple” on google and one of the photos at the bottom of the results page is Ann Coulter. Ouch.

  15. “We should have a LOL caption contest for this.”

    Not exactly an LOL caption, but I did fix the poster, sort of. 🙂

  16. minimalist

    Lolcats are boring and stupid. I suppose I shouldn’t complain, though, because I’m reaching back for even hoarier, more overused nerd cliches:

    STRIKE US DOWN

    AND YOUR EDUCATION WILL BE COMPLETE

  17. Brendan S

    I’m not much on affirmative action but, doesn’t this poster just scream:

    ‘OH NO, WERE A BUNCH OF OLD WHITE GUYS. QUICK, ROUND UP ONE OF EACH MINORITY’

  18. Do not want.

    Winner!

    Side note: thats just terrible photography. They all look 4 feet tall.

  19. Dave S.

    ERV –

    That’s because the photog used the formula:

    height x intellect/ego

    The pic on your screen is in fact full size.

  22. i have to admit the title of the poster is rather appropriate. i suspect no well-educated american can completely avoid the shock-inducing cluelessness that emanates from these conservative “thought” leaders. [there is wonderful supply of material here for classes in logic, rhetoric, malediction and diagnosis of psychotic disorders] i would, as a canadian liberal, have this poster too; it is an urgent reminder of where our current conservative government gets some of its clues from…

  23. WELCOME TO THE NEW DARK AGE!

    As for deepsix, Coulter is a fool because she is a fool. Being transgerdered does not do that to you. Try this though experiment and see how acceptable it is. Coulter is a fool because she is a lesbian. Nice. Coulter is a fool because she is a woman. Hey,you will go over big in most progressive groups. In other words, knock off your anti-trans bullshit. You are in crank territory.

    1. I like how in the item description they list the names of seven out of the 12 people:

    This is the only poster of its kind that includes these twelve conservative luminaries: John Ashcroft, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Robert Novak, Ward Connerly, Dinesh D�Souza, Walter Williams and many more.

    Would it really have killed them to name the five remaining folks in the shot?

    2. Why is an education not complete unless it includes mindless, hate-filled conservative vitriol? How many of those folks have day jobs besides being a conservative commentator? If these were conservatives in a variety of professional fields, I may give them a small amount of credit. On the other end of the field, I wouldn’t say you wouldn’t have a complete education without Howard Stern, Al Franken, and Janeane Garofalo.

    I mean, as long as you’re photographing tepid newspaper columnist, why not throw in Dave Barry and Andy Rooney?

  25. Adrienne

    I vote for…

    Token black people, they likes teh orange.

    …which really did make me LOL, followed by…

    For teeth this shiny, only brushing with the Blood of Innocents will do!

    I agree with the commenter who said they should have named everyone in the shot, especially because I’m not sure who all of the unnamed ones are.

    On a side note, I had no idea Dinesh D’Souza was that gnomish looking. With his lack of height and Dumbo ears, he’s like an Indian version of Ross Perot.

    Janine, please point out my “anti-trans bullshit”. Or, where I said Coulter was a “fool” simply because she looks trans-gendered. I said she looks transexual- because she does. Try not to over-analyze so much.

  27. Because the worst thing you can say about her is that she looks like a tranny. If that is the worst thing about her, you have a problem with someone being ‘transgendered’.

    She is an terrible person, period. Anyone who argues what she does holds all of humanity in contempt. That is more then enough reason to condemn her.

    You are condemn her because you think she looks transgendered. That has nothing to do with anything. What is it about being transgendered that you think is wrong? Otherwise, why bring it up?

    And this is not “over-analyzing”

  28. Im in ur skoolez killin free thinkin

  29. “Indocrinating America, one fallacy at a time”.

    The really funny thing about this photo is the conversation that must have taken place setting it up:

    OK, no, no this is all wrong. We need this to look diverse, and we’ve only got 4 non-whites, so you four split up, 2 on that side, 2 on the other side…beautiful. No, wait, you gals need to split up, we can’t have this looking like a sausage party…let’s see, we’ve got 8 men and 4 women, that’s um, anyone here good at math? No? Alright, let’s just try this: girl, boy, boy, girl, boy, boy…good! Hmmm, too much orange and black together, we need a black on either side, gives us that oreo look, and everyone likes oreos. Walter, you and Michelle trade places. Perfect!

  30. JESUS CHRIST, IT’S THE CONSERVATIVE RIGHT! GET IN THE CAR!

  31. “We may be slightly diverse on the outside….But we’re pasty white all the way to the core.”

    Sorry if offended pasty white people. I’m pasty white, so it’s okay.

  32. Wait, wait, wait. Ann Coulter is a woman?!?! She always seemed far too transvestite to me.

  33. Because the worst thing you can say about her is that she looks like a tranny. If that is the worst thing about her, you have a problem with someone being ‘transgendered’.

    She is an terrible person, period. Anyone who argues what she does holds all of humanity in contempt. That is more then enough reason to condemn her.

    Janine, I don’t read comments like this in the same way wrt to Coulter. I think people enjoy suggesting she’s transgendered or into S&M, or a stealth floozy etc., isn’t because they dislike transgendered people, floozies or S&M. They point it out because of her hypocrisy.

    At the very least she’s a 40+ year old unmarried woman with an oversized adams apple who clearly doesn’t think the abstinence and marriage only morality thing should apply to her. We have no problem, of course, with pre-marital sex, but because she does, and parrots the right-wing moral nonsense, we’re going to mock her for being the things she hates. That doesn’t mean we buy into the right-wing shtick, we’re mocking her hypocrisy.

    We r in US, makin u ‘THEM’.

  35. The transgender resembelnce is also funny because she is such a woman-hater. She has all of these opinions about how women should act, and then she acts the opposite way. She continually criticizes women for being too feminine (shouldn’t be allowed to vote or have positions of responsibility/power because of being emotional, hysterical, weak, etc) but then she is equally critical of women for NOT being those things, and calls them “unfeminine”. Then plays the sexism card when anyone criticises her.

    The transgender moniker is funny not because being transgender is bad…but because her own sense of gender identity and gender roles is so malliable to whatever is most advantageous to her in whatever situation she is in at the time.

    Her gender identity is very malliable and inconsistant. Beyond that, she has a huge adams apple and huge hands (which a not insigificant number of natural women actually have). Her physical and ideological gender confusions make an excellent and amusing analogies for one another.

  36. “No education is complete(ly screwed) … until it includes us.”

  37. Teresa:

    It also helps that when faced with a true transsexual, it’s a very hard image for a person to process because it breaks normal concepts of gender identity (I’m still ashamed of my reaction to someone who appeared to be an m2f trans who seemed to identify as butch lesbian — it seemed pointless to me, and I reacted with disgust, which is not a good thing to do, especially when said person is about to hand you your coffee.) Therefore, in the human tradition of joking about that which makes us uncomfortable, we who find Ann Coulter to be a despicable human being seize on her slightly masculinized features as the butt of a joke.

    I think Ann Coulter, in some sense, gets off on the idea that she could easily present herself as a feminist role model (being a powerful, successful, yet somewhat attractive woman) but prefers to throw in her lot with the misogynists despite the flaming hypocrisy involved. I don’t indulge in the tranny jokes myself, but I’m more than happy to indulge my socialist streak and call her the dirty rat that she is.

  38. Not exactly lolcat-ese, but;

    No education is complete until it includes us…

    because those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it.
