[Goofy Logic]

Seriously this reads like an article directly from The Onion

The mud for this election has been childish at best. When all you do is stammer that your opponent is racist, it makes you look really bad.

 

[Coldgrip]

When are they going to discover creepy pasta

If they do I hope they use one of the crappier ones like Jeff the Killer.

Slenderman is a killer for Trump.

Who was phone?
RACISM
RACISM WAS PHONE
VOTE HILLARY

 

[Cosmos]

@Null please make "That's Pepe. He's a symbol associated with white supremacy" our official tagline or at least a line of random text.

 

[Organic Fapcup]

will pepe be the first confirmed case of death by meme if Hillary croaks?

"croaks"

heh

 

[melty]

Say what you will about hillary but it's not like she had anything to do with this personally. She probably thinks pepe is one of her gardeners.

I like to imagine "Pepe" was added to her personal enemies list after that guy screamed it at that event, then she demanded of her staff that they destroy whoever the hell this "Pepe" guy is.

"Thanks for tuning in to Hardball with Chris Matthews. Tonight's top story is about a person online calling themselves... 'Jeff the Killer.' Now look at this- if you have children in the room tell them go to their rooms- but look at this now... this... 'Jeff" character has apparently been haunting the web for years, hunting down innocent people, and killing them... in their sleep! This is... this in incredible.

'Jeff" has a following of sick... sick people online too. He apparently hides out on online forums dedicated to the Alt-Right and White Nationalist movement. He is also known to work with another known Alt-Right White Nationalist who is known online as "Slender Man," a parody of Spider-Man, but dressed up in an all-white mask and wear suits... like Donald Trump!

With me tonight to talk more about these terrible, horrible people, we have..."

 

[Overcast]

This is just fucking embarrassing.

To me, Internet memes are in jokes between members of various internet communities. And nothing more than that. They're essentially bottom of the barrel humor.

To see people trying to apply them to other forms of media or real life just makes me cringe.

And now, a fucking presidential candidate's campaign group is using one to smear the opposition with not a semblance of irony.

I might be hyperbolic here, but this country is fucked.

 

[TheAmazingAxolotl]

@TheAmazingAxolotl: As an Amphibious Mexican what is your take on Hillary's stance regarding Pepe the Frog?

Pepe fucked up my lake as a prank and he can go fuck himself.

 

[RomanesEuntDomus]

God fucking damnit, there's even a wikipedia page for it...
Check out that talk page for extra mindfuckery.

 

[Internet War Criminal]

"croaks"

heh

She's Croaked Hillary get on the meme bandwagon fam

 

[kobebyarlant]

I like to imagine "Pepe" was added to her personal enemies list after that guy screamed it at that event, then she demanded of her staff that they destroy whoever the hell this "Pepe" guy is.

She was really pissed off when she found out killing a guy named Parkinson wasn't gonna cure her of it.

 

[QI 541]

Funny quote I found

"Hillary Clinton is attempting to prove she doesn't have brain damage by declaring war on a cartoon frog."

Do check that talk page. It looks like someone there has been obsessively pimping this dumb white nationalist Pepe may may for the last month, probably so they could use their own edits to force it into this bullshit article, which they could then incestuously cite to support their own bullshit.

I'd consider looking into the person who has been pimping this shit for the last month before it coincidentally shows up in the fake news.

Incidentally, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's the very same person who got this on hillaryclinton.com who also got the John Flynt article there not long ago.

If this is their reaction to harmless memes, what's going to happen when they see the Offended page on ED?

No, Hillary, don't talk about the mammoth issues that are affecting this country. Just say that your opponent, his voters, and random memes are racist. I think this is the book she's following:

 

[ZehnBoat]

pepe farms when?

also, might as well

 

[XYZpdq]

Just say that your opponent, his voters, and random memes are racist. I think this is the book she's following:

I'm pretty sure she's reading "How To Successfully Market Ghostbusters And Keep Britain In The EU In One Easy Lesson".
