OMf'inG, THIS IS HUGH!!11!
Advertisements [?]So, I'm flipping thru the channels and I come upon the Padres/Philles game. San Diego is wearing a military style uniform tonight!! It has Desert Storm type markings! WTF is that all about? (Aren't the Padres some kind of religious thing anyhow?) Isn't this some kind of neocon message to the young people that the military is a good thing? I just can't believe that this is acceptable.

2. Who is this Hugh character in uniform?
Besides, as anyone with Brain One knows, nearly all sports stars are rich right-wingers anyway. They were the guys who beat up ordinary people in high school. Why would they turn down the opportunity to play John Wayne now?
Someone still has bitter poetry club memories of swirleys. :-)

9. No, life-experience I do much, young padawan.
And why are you talking like Yoda, when clearly you've forgotten an eternal truth from high school? Sports stars are egotistical bullies, period. Maybe you don't remember. I REMEMBER
Ayup! :)

3. Well, our society isn't militarized enough
So the Padres decided that in honor of the naval base in San Diego, they'd pitch in to make sure that all the people and especially the children in the area know what a great idea the military is. Otherwise, how would anyone know???

7. As an Active Duty San Diegan...
The Padres do that as a salute to our active military folks in the area. We have a very large Navy contigent, as well as Marine Corps. They are fairly supportive of the military around here (have to be, the economy would suck even worse without us).
The military as a whole can be a good thing or a bad thing. It's been good to me for the last 18.5 years, and I do NOT serve in combat positions (I'm an information systems tech).
I don't like what the current administration has done with us, but I think we'll be over that soon. Besides, we're out-donating to support Senator Obama by about a 10-1 ratio, and most folks I talk to support either Obama, or Ron Paul. You never here McCrash mentioned at all
:whatever:

10. If only there were some way that these
fit, able-bodied young men could honor those who serve.... Oh, yeah, they could enlist and don those uniforms for real, rather than play at being pretend soldiers.
Baseball players should wear baseball uniforms. This does nothing to support the troops, but is simply a transparent effort by the Padres to literally wear their fake patriotism on their sleeves, to use the whole US military as some sort of ad for their own franchise. Shame on them.
:loser:

26. Putting baseball teams in camo is not supporting military families.
It trivializes real sacrifice and real danger for publicity. It's actually disrespectful.
And we all know DUers are EXPERTS at supporting the Military...

Remember, friends: At DemocratUnderground.com, this is a BAD THING.
These are the people who worship Obama Hussein. They don't do a lot to help their cause.
"Vote Anti-America! Vote Obama!"

Wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that San Diego is a HUGE military town would it?
Nah. :whatever:

These idiots have reached a new low. If they looked around the Padres web site, they'd see that the Desert BDU-style jerseys are an MLB-approved alternate home jersey for the Padres.
What ****ing idiots. :mental: :mental: :mental:

The only part of that I object to is the chevy thing, I come from a long line of Ford drivers since 1926. :-)

Well, there IS a Saudi Arabian team in the Little League world series, although all but one or two of them are Americans.

33. You know, the Padres are kind of known...
...for ugly uniforms. A few years back, they had uniforms that were in 'Taco Bell' colors...NOBODY in SD liked them. This is just the latest uniform 'gaffe' in a long while. It probably won't last.
Stupid, stupid, stupid. You all strike out at the game of life.

Actually, they all got hit in the head, multiple times, while in the batter's box for the game of life.

You know, I have NO fricken idea who NavyDem is talking to. I don't know ANY Marine Corps family voting for Obama. McCain is regarded very highly among the military. I have my differences with him but I don't have any doubt he would be an excellent CinC for my son.

OMf'inG, THIS IS HUGH!!11! (Baseball equals Militarized Society.)
Shut the **** up, hippie! You want to see a militarized society? Just wait until Big Brotha has you doing calesthenics in front of your two-way TV screen before you will be issued your ration of (watered down) Victory Gin.
Pansy-assed pussies like yourselves wouldn't know a militarized society if it walked up in jackboots and shot you in the ass.
Go back to your bong and leave the deep political philosophizing to the adults.

Ok this is for the DUmpmonkies.
The Military - A group of people trained to go around the world ,serve their country and kick someones ass.
Militants - A group of dirty, low life, scum sucking assholes that go around the world doing very little and are a general pain in the ass.
Guess which group you belong to.
