On his inauguration day, [Yes we can] was turned into an anarchist cry, threatening the order that police worked so hard to establish. Some people--even homosexuals and the disabled--went up a down escalator, while the police looked on "haplessly and helplessly" unable or unwilling to stop them going to the inauguration.

up a down escalator?
as my father would say, crivens and help me bob (wish I was kidding)
The world surely is coming to an end! the rapture is imminent! Obama is the antichrist! UP THE FREAKING DOWN ELEVATOR!!!!!!!!
Are you trying to tell me that it is wrong for disabled people to witness the inauguration of our President... you, sir, should be forced to worked in a home for the developmentally disabled for life.
Out of the millions of people who were there that day for the inauguration, <i>not a one was arrested</i>.
Please jump off a building.
Some people--even homosexuals and the disabled--went up a down escalator,
THE HORROR!
while the police looked on "haplessly and helplessly" unable or unwilling to stop them going to the inauguration.
You mean they were exercising their rights? Oh dear, the world is really ending now.
This made me laugh till I cried!
Unfortunately if you click onto the source page now, there is just a little reference to Bob the Builder. Which is also funny. But where did it go?! The Conservapedia memory hole??
"Some people--even homosexuals and the disabled"
Pfft, fucking undermensch ruining our decent law and order...fuck 'em all.
People going UP the DOWN escalator!
Next will be cats and dogs sleeping together!
It's the Apocalypse I tells you! The APOCALYPSE!!!!!
OMG people going UP a DOWN escalator?
That's anarchy man!
Anarchy!
Next thing you know dogs and cats will be living together!
Edit: @ disgustingly neutral: Aw you bastard! You beat me to it! I guess great minds think alike. :)
People going UP a DOWN escalator!!!?? Even disabled and homosexual people!!??
OH THE HUMANITY!!!!!!!!! THE MADNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dear GOD, why did you let this happen!!? WHHHHHHHHHHYYY!!!???
Oh. My. God.
They went UP a down escalator.
Shit.
It must be the end times..
Seriously, get over yourself you dick. Even if what you say is true (and I doubt it), so what?
When you're the chief of police in a major city, you can order your officers to start riots in the midst of a 2 million person crowd over trivial stuff like going the wrong way on an escalator. Meanwhile, just worry about keeping up the supply of toilet paper on the shelves at the WalMart you work at.
"Some people--even homosexuals and the disabled--went up a down escalator,"
I think this is actually the first sign of the second coming, just before armageddon.
The extent of the current article is:
"Yes we can!" is a chant appropriated by the Obama campaign from "Si se peude", a slogan created by the socialist United Farm Workers.
It is also used by Bob the Builder.
The quoted section was apearently deep burned (remove from the history), as is the norm on CP. Get rid of it and deny it ever happened.
Also, is it bad to have this mental picture of half-naked, leather clad men, carrying people in wheelchairs up the down-escalator ?
The article is still the epitome of extremely childish attacks. And just to prove it, they put in something about Bob the Builder.
This is what happens when you make 3-year-olds political commentators
I have a sudden urge to run to the mall and cause some anarchy. Giggling madly as I run up the down escalators. As far as the disabled go, damn you got some talented handicapped people in DC. When I was on crutches, stairs were almost impossible.
@ Psittacosis
A while back there was a quote from Conservapedia that basically said if evolution was true, why hasn't my dog turned into a tree octopus. Or something along that line.
The disabled were using the escalator?
"Yes we can"
*The blind see, the deaf hear, the crippled stand... then they go up the down escalator.*
Old Viking:
I've flaunted my disregArd for convention for many years. But I've never taken it so far as to up a down elevator.
Hee! I'm now picturing you, Mr. Viking, as a younng man, raping and pillaging, but all the while NEVER GOING UP THE DOWN ESCALATOR! FOR THAT IS THE PLACE OF HEL AND RAGNARÖK!
I just read the conservapedia entry. It directly attributes the quote with socialist politicians, and, some wag has added the bob the builder reference (by conservapedia editors, or someone having a laugh? who knows).
bob the builder jokes aside, I just read that Obama is blasting banks who give out bonuses whilst asking for tax-payer's money. I guess that edges towards the side of socialism, while being TOTALLY FUCKING RIGHT.
Mad, disable homosexuals went up a "down" escalator.. oh the anarchy...oh the anti-christ is surely smilling at these things.
Are you surprised that this is conservapedia? 5 stars.
Some people--even homosexuals and the disabled--went up a down escalator
People using the wrong escalator? Oh! The horrors! Surely, this is a sign of impending disaster
I'm autistic, considered disabled, and perfectly capable of going up that down escalator...;> There are plenty of other types of disabilities, such as turettes syndrome, various types of retardation, brain damage, what have you that can leave your feet dancing up those escalators...
Seriously? I knew Conservapedia was homophobic, but they're ableist too? Fuck you, neither of them can help who they are, and disabilities can seriously mess up someone's life, you hearthless piece of shit.
Why should the police violate freedom of assembly?
Or you mean it should do it only for homosexuals and disabled people?
And how exactly do disabled people go up an escalator moving downward, unless helped?
(@zits: I mean someone who could be clearly identified as disabled by strangers, so I supposed the author was referring to physical disabilities)
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
