That was the joke, yes.
Fail? You could read the BUSH 50 feet away. You could not tell what the picture was at that distance. You fail. The guy knew exactly what he was doing, got the exact reaction he was looking for and you guys just eat it up.
Hard to tell. Sorry.
It reminds me of an incident at work years ago. A temp summer worker wore a T-shirt to work with our competitors logo on it. The supervisor told him to turn it inside out so our distributors and vendors touring the plant didn't see it. He said he wore it just to get a rise out of the rest of us.
***UPDATE: Duane Hammond says union officials called him this afternoon to apologize for the incident. He say they are "bending over backwards" to make it up to him.
Are you really so obtuse that you cannot see the difference in these stories?
The guy was 'sent home/fired/whatfreakineva' for wearing a shrit that had the name of the ship his son was currently serving on, while working 'for a union' setting up the stage for an Obama appearance.
Your temp worker wore a comperitors logo 'while working directly for your company'... not a union that was setting up a stage at your location.
One was supporting his son proudly... the other was 'trying to get a rise out of you'.
One was workign for a union, NOT for Presiedent Obama, while the other was working directly for your company.
Apples and grapefruit.
Man Fired for Wearing Bush Sweatshirt at Obama Rally ***UPDATED - The News Blog with Eric Spillman - KTLA.COM
Yeah.. the union would do that if they were in the right here :roll:
The guy wore the shirt working at the Obama event to honor his son? Give me a break. Like I said, you sheep will fall for anything. Does he wear the shirt everywhere or just while working for Obama? It is no big deal, yet he chose to get the media involved to stir up sheep like you.
I never said the union was right or wrong. Just that the guy did it to create controversy and get on the news. He knew what he was doing.
Evidence?
Oh and did you find out if your claim the guy didn't have a son on that ship pan out?
Evidence? Common sense. Doesn't seem like you right wingnuts have much.
Well you made the unsupported accusation and claim. It would support your view point if you did or are you thinking I'm going to waste my time trying to prove your unsupportable point? :lamo That's a good one.Do you find out if his kid was on the ship, yet? Did you find out if the Dad always wears that shirt to honor his kid?
Evidence that he sought a reporter out?Or does he just wear it to work on Obama jobs? He made sure he found a reporter to get his face on TV, didn't he?
Evidence it was contrived?This was a contrived set up from the beginning.

I think I'd like to challenge you... can you make any supportive statement or reply to a post without an insult or calling someone or something an ad hominem name? You're common sense? I've yet to see any. I see lots of accusations based on nothing though. You're aces at that.

All you do is make accusations... now take your nose out of "Rules for Radicals" and provide proof because, sorry, you're common sense isn't sense at all.
Evidence? The only evidence of anything is the internet interview. You guys bought it all hook line and sinker. No questions asked. What does that tell you about you ?

I am skeptical of this entire event...
You appear to be skeptical of anything that does not agree with your preconceived notions of how something really is... how sad for you.

Gee, what do you know? The republicans do it too. You guys must be so embarrassed for all the phoney outrage.
