Frank Luntz Jokes About Running Over Barack Obama

Posted by Ellen -7842.60pc on February 22, 2012 · Flag

Fox News’ dodgy pollster, Frank Luntz, has shocked us before with his blatant partisanship dressed up as impartial moderating of focus groups. But this bit of video - in which Luntz jokes he wants to put a “Run, Barack Run” bumper sticker on the front of his car – takes the cake. I’m not sure which was worse, Luntz’ joke or the crowd's laughter.

Luntz was trying his hand at comedy at an event with Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum. “I actually have a ‘Run, Barack, Run’ bumper sticker, but I put it on the front of my car,” he joked.

As Raw Story noted, there are some parts of the country in which people joke about a fictional racist game where players earn points for running over minorities.

He also joshed about ordering at McDonald’s an “Obama Happy Meal” where you can “Order anything you want and the guy behind you has to pay for it.”

Luntz made a not-very-sensitive joke involving Native Americans, too. Referring to the Clintons’ home in Chappaqua, N.Y., Luntz asked, “Did you know that 'Chappaqua' is Indian for 'separate bedrooms?'”

Some years ago, a friend of mine asked me for a screen grab of Luntz’ tie one night when he appeared on Fox. My friend thought the tie was the Confederate Stars and Bars. At the time, I strenuously disagreed. Now I’m reconsidering. Here’s the grab. I’ll report and let you decide.

The only chance fat ass Luntz has of catching Obama is in a car.

Looking at Luntz in the above screencaps, and in this photo:

Many years ago I use to go to The Comedy Store in Hollywood to watch up and coming comedians perform their stand-up act. Several of them got famous, like Robin Williams who did a brilliant act or those who eventually made the Carson show. Steven Wright was my personal favorite. Occasionally you would get someone who just wasn’t funny. They would have to deal with hecklers who were more entertaining than the comic, but I would always show them respect knowing that they were chasing a dream many of them would never be able to achieve and I wanted to give them all the encouragement I could to help them believe in themselves. Even the greats can have a bad night.

However when it comes to Luntz and every attempt that Fox does to find its own Jon Stewart, I would find it very difficult to show them any encouragement. Will you people on the right please find yourselves a comedian or a comedy writer. I love a good joke no matter what direction it’s aimed at, and so far every attempt has bombed. Badly.

Frank Luntz “jokes” about running over the President . . .

Liz Trotta “joked” about assassinating him . . .

Crazy Annie Coulter “joked” about assassinating both President Clinton and poisoning a sitting SC Justice . . .

Wingnut humor: the only “humor” that needs an “R” rating . . .

Fatass Luntz is a partisan hack who perverts focus groups into GOPiggie talking points.

Antoinette: Forget the shoes. I have often said about Luntz “Never trust a man with a toupee.” Especially a bad toupee.

With all my love,

A little man who wears tie-dye colored shoes on his feet should never be trusted. Yeah, we’ve seen it.
