Can't See The Forest For The Trees

[Edgetho]

When you're standing too close to something, it's as bad as being too far away.

Especially when you've got the establishment media running interference against you and telling you not to believe your own lying eyes.....

But the people who SHOULD know what this particular brand of politics REALLY IS and really looks like?

They know.

They know.

They just don't want YOU to know

China Removes “Obama-Mao T-Shirts” From Great Wall Shops During Mooch Visit…

I highly doubt she would be offended.

Via Weekly Standard:

According to a pool reporter who was at the Great Wall of China for Michelle Obama’s visit there today, “Chinese authorities made sure, for a day, that Mutianyu [a section of the Great Wall] was visibly free of Obama-Mao t-shirts.” For $60, however, a merchant told the pool reporter that she’d sell him one of those t-shirts.

Here’s the relevant part of the pool report:

After taking the gondola back down to the parking lot, several reporters fanned out and stopped at t-shirt stalls to investigate a tip — that merchants had been told to temporarily suspend sales of t-shirts that show President Obama in a Mao hat.

That tip turned out to be true. Several merchants denied carrying such items, but one merchant quietly took this correspondent to the back of her tent and showed off a whole box of the popular, normally seen t-shirts. As we were negotiating prices – she wanted 360 yuan, or roughly $60, an outrageous starting price – other merchants came by, and in Chinese, told her to be careful. The merchant became visibly rattled and put the t-shirts away.

Another reporter in the pool had a similar experience with a separate vender, but managed to snap a photo of one of the t-shirts. I would be glad to share with anyone who wants to investigate why Chinese authorities made sure, for a day, that Mutianyu was visibly free of Obama-Mao t-shirts.

I am more interested in why they were removed. Sounds to me like they were playing interference against the media finding out about them (and then failed).

The VAST majority of Foreign visitors to the Great Wall are NOT Americans.

They buy them as a commemorative to the truth -- obama is the obamunist.

Everybody else knows it but us.

Kinda like the stupid dim that everybody else knows has a cheating OL........ Everybody but him

Edgy, you are truly an idiot. But, on 20Jan17, President Obama will become ex-President Obama, and you will have someone else to vent your idiocy on.

President Obama is very much a centrist President. It is only that you and the other "Conservatives" here have gone so far to the right that Westbrook Pegler looks like a leftist to you. And that is why you people lost the last election.

Most of those "lies" are the President's own words.

Oh, well, consider the source.

 

[Little-Acorn]

Looks like the usual fanatic-left chest-thumpers are out today, preening themselves and shouting that they are much more leftist that the next guy. Along with the inevitable snarling, insults, and "it's all lies" screeching... and the usual complete lack of any evidence.

Back to the subject:
Recall that these Obama-Mao T-shirts mysteriously vanished during Obama's first visit to China in 2009, too. Leftist governments depend on suppressing the truth and carefully altering what their subjects see, hear, and read... especially about themselves and their fellow travelers. True in every country where leftists run things, including China and the U.S.

Beijing puts foot down on 'Oba Mao' T-shirts

Friday Nov 13, 2009 5:21 PM
by NBC News' Bo Gu

BEIJING – Liu Mingjie expected that President Barack Obama's first visit to China would bring more business to his little boutique shop in Beijing's popular Houhai area, a lakeside district filled with trendy restaurants and bars, souvenir shops and lots of tourists.

Until last weekend, Liu had been interviewed by both Chinese and foreign media about what he was selling: T-shirts that superimposed Obama's face over that of China's late Chairman Mao Zedong on the front, and the words "Oba Mao" on the back.

But Lui's brisk business was suddenly terminated by local government officials, just days before Obama's arrival in China, without any explanation. He says he was simply told, "No, you cannot sell Obama T-shirts anymore."

 

[B. Kidd]

Even tho' the T-shirts were removed, purple-colored Gumby's sold like hotcakes!

 

[Little-Acorn]

You might also recall the restaurant that popped up in Beijing in an apparent satire of Obama. It put up a sign for "OFC" in the same character font that Kentucky Fried Chicken uses in the U.S., with a faked picture of Obama wearing the same suit and tie that Colonel Sanders usually does in KFC ads.

What was most notable about that incident, was the careful mis-translation of the small logo at the bottom of the sign, in Chinese characters. Most reporters dutifully relayed what they were told: That it said, "Hey, we're so cool!"

But people born and raised in China knew the characters came much closer to the saying, "All talk but no action".

The people in China, unlike those in the U.S., have few illusions about the true nature of Barack Obama.

[KNB]

Why would China try to hide those shirts if Obama is a Maoist Marxist Kenyan Muslim? Shouldn't the Godless Chinese want to proudly display their Communist love of Obama to the First Lady?

And we all know that Republicans are never made to look stupid.

Obviously, yes they would. And did.

The number one answer would be because they're not assholes for $100

did you consider

maybe the maoists would have been offended

They are just doing what the OP would do when confronted in person. Back the fuck down and then put it back out once they leave.

Edgetho stands to close to his obsession to see clearly.

 

[KNB]

They are just doing what the OP would do when confronted in person. Back the fuck down and then put it back out once they leave.

But why would they do that if the Chinese love Obama and Obama is a Communist? Shouldn't Michelle be wearing one of those while she's over there?

Or maybe this is just a clever marketing scheme by the Chinese to get Republicans in the US to promote authentic commemorative Obama Marxist t-shirts.

 

[g5000]

My guess is those T-shirts were probably commissioned by a right wing organization here in America and some of the rejects from the factory found their way to street vendors in China.

"Obamao" is a term used by right wingers almost as frequently as "Soetero" and "Barack HUSSEIN Obama" as a perjorative. I've seen it used here on this forum.

Look at the Cuba after 50 years of communists rule. You know what happen there? Castro and Che happen, they murdered thousands upon thousands of people that did not agree with their ideas. Look what is happening today in America to those who don't like Chairman ObaMAO. If we let that continue, we're heading the same way China and Cuba went fifty years ago.
