Obama’s daughters huge Jonas Brothers fans. Keffiyeh Koincidence?
July 17th, 2008 . by MartyOK, I hope we’re not reading too much into this, but in the course of responding to media requests regarding the Jonas Brothers keffiyeh controversy, one of my interns alerted me to a story in the Indian press that revealed that Barack Obama’s daughters are big fans of the keffiyeh-wearing Jonas Brothers. All I can say is, “Oy.”
Now, I’m not one of those McCain supporters who believes in perpetuating ugly innuendos about Barack Obama’s faith or even his middle name. I believe Senator McCain can win in November fair and square. But….
First Meghan McCain wears a few mis-chosen keffiyehs, and next the Obama girls will be spotted wearing Che Guevara t-shirts. At this rate, it may not matter who wins the election: the Jonas Brothers will play the inaugural ball, Miley Cyrus will be showering in the Lincoln bedroom and Chief Justice Roberts will terror-fist bump whoever he swears in over the Koran. Makes me wish for the days when the Beatles were the biggest threat to national security.

The only threat I see is the one you pose to the English language with your abuse of the privilege of literacy.
Please dedicate your aberrant brain to science.
Up until now I was convinced that there was no way the Right could possibly become more of a pathetic cartoon parody of itself.
I stand corrected. Good show.
Marty, you are an invective spreading, ethnocentric retard, piece of shit. Please Die In A Fire!
that is all
Wow. That’s some pretty fucked up shit, dude. Get your head examined.
I am shocked by your stupidity.
Seriously, I just wish you luck.
you sir are a douche bag. if you have young daughters, i’m thinking they like the jonas brothers too. does that make them future terrorists? or do they just think the jonas brothers are cute?
Shande. Putz.
Drivel, racist conservative drivel. You sir a bigger terrorist than those who plot against.
Still beating this horse? I wasn’t aware that any scarf is automatically a keffiyeh. Nor was I aware that a fist pound–something I’ve been doing since I was 12 with my boys–was a “terror fist.”
This is an interesting spin, and it’s supposed to generate traffic, so good on you for it, but maybe you should focus on issues with some real importance, as opposed to fashion trends you don’t understand.
“Terror fist bump”? Really. In that case, you’ve got a few million terrorists in our schools already, white, black, latino, and more–and they’ve been apparently been breeding there for better than 25 years, considering how long I’ve been giving my boys some dap.
Race baiting and class baiting is an interesting way of spinning this election, while trying to remove yourself from actually making the accusation in bold. You’re not helping, and this sort of tripe only illustrates that there are a lot of folks who fear that which they don’t understand, or have experienced.
Maybe you need to hang out with a few more folks of color, and maybe get your head out of the White Tower on occasion.
First Dunkin Donuts and Rachael Ray, now the Jonas Brothers. We’re being infiltrated by terrorist scarves wherever we turn. I’ll bet the Jonas Brothers even do those terrorist fist bumps.
Hey, that’s extremely unfunny. The weekend’s over, pal….put the tequila away.
This is beyond laughable. Right up there with the Rachel Ray idiocy. And people wonder why most of the world thinks the Americans are intellectually challenged.
Are you sane? What kind of grown person would try to analyze (and I am being generous) the crushes of a healthy American girls? I loved the Beatles (mainly Paul McCarthy and the Monkeys, can’t remember his name) when I was young because they made my heart throb with puppy love. What they were wearing had no political significance - yes that includes their peace signs, etc.
Please stop preying on children.
You, an adult advisor to John McCain, are attacking a child. I really didn’t think that I would ever see anything this scummy. I am simply appalled.
Until the late 90’s I’d been a life long Republican. So was my old man and his old man who boasted he voted for Alf Landon in 1936. Sometime about ten years ago the GOP started to lose its senses as nuttier and nuttier often religious people gradually got control of the party. The process gathered speed in the early 2000’s so that we now have a GOP that’s spending more money than Johnson, is bailing out financial institutions all over the place, starting foreign wars we are losing, throwing the dollar under a bus, denying scientific facts, corrupting the govt. etc. etc. Now we’ve got some lame brain called Marty dumping on Obama’s toddlers over their choice of pop music singer. I have no idea of who or what Jonas is btw but assume he’s some sort of pop singer who gets up in fancy dress like Madonna. If this is a typical example of where much of the GOP is today and I fear it is based on what I read on some blogs it’s truly losing its mind. Did this man’s parents teach him nothing. Apparently not.
How fucking stupid are you? The Jonas Brothers have a hit song right now. What, you think Obama’s ten year old daughter is a fan of Arafat. Idiot.
Wow. Do you see what a complete low-life you are. Fear-monger. Hater. Conservative. There is the door. Take Senator Lott, Thurmond’s ghost and the rest of your kind with you.
So according to that logic, since the Bush daughters are boozy party chicks, that means their father is an alcoholic. Oh wait, that’s right, he is an alcoholic. Never mind, you’re right, Obama is a terrorist because his kids like the Jonas Brothers. Nice work.
So… only terrorists wear scarves?
What is your point? Leave the candidates daughters out of your conversation you sick asshole.
Okay, so some extremely white boy band wears scarves for a publicity shoot - almost certainly a choice by the art director - and the ignorant, mush-brained right-wing crowd goes berserk. Over scarves. Of course, it never occurs to you loons that ordinary Americans wear scarves frequently, particularly in cold weather, and that scarves have been a European fashion accessory/cold weather garment for the last thousand years…
Good Lord! What’s wrong with you people? Get a god-damn life! You haven’t made either a political or cultural point. You’ve merely proved that you’re a complete moron! Get thee off the Internet and out of your mother’s basement!

If this is snark you probably have a hard time telling jokes in mixed company, as well.
Get a life, and leave the little girls alone.
Twit.
It’s people like you that have helped bring down the Republican Party and soured an entire generation of voters, I hope you’re proud of yourself.
So the candidate’s daughter’s favorite musician wore a style of scarf that originated in the Middle East (and is also used by the British, Australian, and US armed forces, as well as people worldwide).
What is this, Six Degrees of Non-Story?
Here’s a better one: I have photographic evidence that John McCain not only sometimes, but regularly wears pants. Pants are Iranian in origin, so clearly John McCain is making a pro-Iran fashion statement!
Are all you republicans that desperate to keep hold of what little power you have left? Just give up already. There’s no shame in admitting that, not only are you all 13 time losers, but a bunch of hatemongering feeble dicksplashes as well.
DIAF
“Now, I’m not one of those McCain supporters who believes in perpetuating ugly innuendos about Barack Obama”
…thats very earnest of you, it shows you are a good…
“and Chief Justice Roberts will terror-fist bump whoever he swears in over the Koran.”
oh wait? So you’ve contradicted yourself less then 5 sentences apart and you want to be taken seriously? You should stop blogging.
So many stupid Americans.
Care to weigh in about McCain’s illegitimate black child?
it’s one thing to be an idiot in your basement. It’s another to be an idiot of the day on the internets. Congratulations.
You’re so correct, and I can’t believe the rest of the media hasn’t picked up on this already. At least 85% of American prepubescent girls are Jonas Brothers fans, and their parents are probably ALL plotting the downfall of the West as we speak.
At least our glorious leader has NEVER associated with anyone wearing any kind of “terrorist” regalia.
Oh wait. http://a.abcnews.com/images/International/ap_bush_saudi_080115_mn.jpg
Well, all right then, that’s one thing, but at least no young female members of his family have been spotted wearing keffiyeh, because it’s too easy for the media to pick on that sort of thing!
DAMN!

[…] you can see from the number of comments on and links to my last post, the response was overwhelmingly accusatory and vitriolic. So I wanted to clarify a few things. […]
Marty thinks he’s being humorous. The problem is that a slight exaggeration of oneself doesn’t count as parody.
