Video of the Moment, Yo!: ‘Young Cons’

Share article:

Best of luck with this, boyz…

(No explanation for the blank :45 seconds or so on the back end. Feel free to offer yours in comments. Hat-tip Josh Marshall who notes the vid is “Catching fire on the right-wing websites.” The clowns at the wingnut PowerLine call the video “Hope for the future” in one post and in a second — yes, top clown Scott Johnson posted it twice there in two days! — say that it “displays wit and learning in equal parts”. The “more info” description on the YouTube posting, says “Young Conservatives is a group with a devout mission to spread the love and logic surrounding true conservatism.” As mentioned, best of luck with that, boyz.)

UPDATE, YO!: If you can’t watch the video for some reason, or even if you can, Tiger Beatdown’s commentary on the high-points is worth the read. And yes, Young Cons, we’re laughing at you, not with you…But, um, as we said, good luck with that, boyz…Drill, baby, drill, and all that…And yes, please bring on a follow up soon! Your fans are waiting!

    Am I hearing things or did these twits put Ronald Reagan on the same level as Jesus Christ?

    Yo! What “hard work” this piece of drivel must have been. I bet their backs must feel like they are broken. Cashing their checks from the fascist propagandists stooping to this dreck must have been a terrible ordeal. Lort! Their sweaty noses verily microns from the grindstone, the barges they must tote, the bales they must lift!

    I don’t think it’s even marginally humorous. It’s sick. It’s filthy, and why on earth do people keep cranking out this crap?

    It really is not as though there aren’t oceans of ACTUAL hard work needing done.

    Well, and if it’s satire, they did a shitty enough job of it that no one can tell. I know, I’m a humorless old bag, but this is depressing… whatever way you look at it.

    “The three thing that taught conservative love – jesus, reagan, and atlas shrugged”

    So let me get this straight – Conservative love is based on jesus and a book whose entire philosophy is ‘Objectivism’ which presents organized religion as foolish.

    That makes total sense?

    This CAN NOT be real. Is anyone that clueless?

    Either way, it’s Stephen Colbert’s wet dream!

    [ed note: Hi, PHIL, please think up another screen name because we already have a “Phil” who comments here regularly. Thank you. –99]

    I think the Young Republicans next venture should be: “Rappin’ Jesus”!

    Rappin’ Jesus: “Torture is ‘OK’, if you get good info from it…BEE-ATCH!!!!!!!!!”

    I wish they would be behind me, while driving, to read my bumper sticker that says “Who would Jesus bomb?”

    Cons are what they call themselves. They are not Conservative, they’re con artists. There’s just enough stupid people out there to lap it up. Fortunately, there are less of them now.

    These poor baby “conservative” fascists are brainwashed. Jesus Christ was progressive and socialist. Definitely NOT whatever they are. As usual they are crying about paying taxes, yet claim to love their country. How can you expect them to live on a meazly couple million a year, people? And in reality, the poster woman representing the repugs is Michelle Bachman. Wake up, America. They are the ones who got us into this mess,

    And they think that our troops fighting for oil, are saving us, our “freedom”…sh#@, This is what James Madison has to say: “If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.”

    This pair puts the “con” in “con artist” — and then promptly removes the “artist” part.

    My theory is that the 45-second gap is when they put on blackface and bugger mules, à  la Neal Horsley; then, realizing they’ve shown perhaps a tad too much candor, they cover themselves up — with white white robes and hoods — and scurry away.

    Actually CONvoluted might be more appropriate. They obviously are idiots.

    These very, very white boys look really stupid trying to muster a little attitude, trying to get down with their lame moves. They do not look “bad”; they look like they took a couple of valiums before they shot this vid and they’re maybe moving to a slow song playing somewhere else (like another galaxie). (But I’m used to see really good dancers.) Everyone else has snarked very adequately over the content of the vid.

    I’m not sure if this is supposed to be a spoof or not. Either way it is sadly pathetic. … unh

    Uhhhh nooo, my ears!!! Give me a break, puhleez!
    Be original. You are 2 white dudes acting black. If you have something to say at least be original. Say what you mean, mean what you say, be who you are because right now you’re anything but original.

    Great video, great beat, and an awesome message, we really need this to catch on. I have a small medical business(Corpus Christi, TX. 32 years old)ff66e and I am really worried about my future in the Orthopedic business due to reimbursement issues, and if we go to socialized medicine I am screwed along with the patients and doctors who depend on me. Let me know what i can do to help out. I think the rap will help reach a younger crowd which is good.
