El Guapo. El Chapo. Jihaddi John. El Burritto. Americans are stupid.
Americans are stupid media morons. We have to give every evil bad guy a fun "Bad Guy" name.

El Chapo has a real name. It's Joaguin Guzman, but Americans can't pronounce it.

Jihaddi John has a real name, but Americans can't pronounce it.

All our evil bad guys actually have names, but not in American media. We have to give them cartoon names, because American audiences are too stupid to understand reality. Give us a comic book name, something we can understand. It makes it much easier to hate people that way.

      
   

Honestly Rob,you really should think twice before calling others "stupid".

Nicknames, nom-de-plumes, sobriquets and even the benign appellations we create for ourselves on DU seem a rather irrational basis for determining intelligence or the ability to enunciate foreign names.

I'm confident we'll be supplied with objective evidence supporting your allegation as something more than philippic prattle.

8. jihadi john was given by European hostages

Because of the British accent.

I think el chapo actually does go by that name.

So these are not American creations.

God,you are a moron Rob.

OK, I get it!

Rob McGrath is incapable of saying "George W. Bush", so he says "Chimpy McHitler".

What does one suppose was Atman's motive, or reason, for this topic?

I thought the reason might be something along those lines.

It's about as reasonable as posting, asking why tortoises don't use hand-lotion.

I mean.....who cares?

Well, we do give criminals nicknames that they don't claim. Slick Willie and Hitlery/Chillary come to mind.

A pretext to call Americans stupid.

It takes a special kind of stupid to have it pointed out by DU-folk.

El Chapo has a real name. It's Joaguin Guzman, but Americans can't pronounce it.

Yawwwwn ... I've known how to pronounce - and spell - "Joaquin" for over 50 years. Back when JFK was President CA elementary school students learned California History and Geography in 4th Grade. San Joaquin is both a major city and a county in California. As for pronouncing Guzman, I would have learned that in 4th or 6th Grade, as we learned Spanish in those (and other, obviously) grades. Probably most people who grew up in the SW US could say much the same.

If one is going, in the US, to call all Americans stupid, one's reasons should at least have some significant basis in fact.

Yes, the American = Stupid meme was busted long ago, for anyone paying attention.

Remember the thread a week or so ago in which a DUmmy asked why we on the GOP "Hate Americans"? Check out here, Idiotman claiming that all Americans are stupid morons who make up nicknames for terrorists and madmen because we're so supposedly so stupid and infantile that it's the only way we can understand them. Pot, meet kettle.
Of course, him getting his idiocy thrown in his face by fellow DUmmies is very satisfying.
Plus, as everyone here noted, the DUmmies love throwing insulting nicknames at us ("Teabaggers," "Republikkkans," "Fundies," "Fascists," etc.), and at public figures who they disagree with ("Chimpy," "Bushitler," "Shrub," "Caribou Barbie," referring to Ben Carson as "Benny- Boy" without acknowledging that anyone who referred to Obama as "Boy" would be instantly accused of racism, etc.). I still remember a thread shortly after Scott Brown won the Senate seat vacated by Ted Kennedy's death, in which the DUmmies were discussing ideas for insulting nicknames they can use for Brown. The one they settled on was so gross and so stupid I won't acknowledge it by bringing it over here. Hypocrisy has always been the sign of a true liberal.
