Romney's Big Bird Comments Spark Response From The Bird Himself

- UPDATE: The handle @BigBirdRomney appears to be suspended, as does a similar Twitter account, @FiredBigBird.

EARLIER STORY: Uh-oh.
In Wednesday night's first presidential debate, Republican candidate Mitt Romney upset an unlikely...person?

"I'm sorry, Jim. I'm going to the stop the subsidy to PBS. I like Big Bird. I like you," Romney said.

even big bird lives on the system,he doesn't have to work for food because he is living off of the taxpayers. Barney works hard for his food and reminds you to brush your teeth and turn the water off while doing so.

Big bird does not help the economy, put food on people's table or create jobs. If you want to watch big bird donate to pbs. Sorry kids

It's about time. PBS has turned in to nothing more than a mouthpiece for the DNC and spouts mutliculteralism, queer lifestyles and leftest viewpoints.
Shut off the public funding!
The program NOVA used to be about science, and now its just green agenda and gobal warming crap!

They need a marketing program to raise revenue. Stop looking for pledges and a government hand out. Run programs at night that adults would like to see and draw money from commercials.

So what if big bird has to take a second job to make ends meet. So does the rest of America right now.

I have lived on the shore since 1966 and the level of poverty on the eastern shore is so sad. It has always been this way oh wait, there were a lot of GOOD jobs at Crown Cork and Seal but Cheney shut that down! He shut it down because people wanted fair wages.
Perdue has kept the poverty level alive by denying fair wages, unions, etc, try to live off a chicken pluckers salary! Then there are those well paying jobs for college students! Wait NO there are so few good paying jobs on the shore OUR KIDS have to leave the shore! How many Salisbury State Grads stay here to work? To all the Obama
haters out there remember BUSH PAID FOR 2 WARS WITH A CREDIT CARD AND WE HAVE LOST 2000 BRAVE AMERICAN SOLDIERS!
Romney wants to cut your deductions for your home, and dependents and charity... how is that going to help you. That statement of cutting your taxes by 20% do you really believe that is what will happen? Then of course the inheritance tax will be cut, does that affect you as much as it will be beneficial to Millionaires? I'M JUST SAYING......go to Fact Check, really think before you form opinions, just stop and try to look at the facts instead of just being mad at Obama because you can't believe he is an American just like you and I. Are you still mad that an African American actually became president? You know what they say about Kharma!

Wow...
some people (10:00) have an unusual concept of reality.
Cheney? Crown cork and seal?
How do you make that connection?
The UNION shut down Crown, Dresser, Campbell soup, Moore etc...

Obama's troop surge and Foreign drone policy has nothing to do with
2000 of our soldiers deaths?

Fact check?
funded by who? Soros? administered by liberals in the tan for Obama?
What a bozo...

romney kicked obamas ass so thoroughly during the debate that this was the only thing they could grab ahold of. impressive.

Impressive 10:00!! You managed to compress a significant amount of totally inaccurate and farcical ranting in a post that is nothing but liberal progressive bullcrap.

10:00-Where did you get this info? "Romney wants to cut your deductions for your home, and dependents and charity"

You could not be more wrong if you tried. As for FactCheck.org only an idiot relies on them for their facts! YES an idiot. I already disproved on of their so called facts last night so don't be one of the dense 47%!
They said Romney was wrong when he said the middle class lost $4300 of their income and it was only $2000 something according to the census.
For people who have a brain and actually use it to think it was so clear that FactCheck was wrong. Romney said MIDDLE INCOME dropped not ALL household incomes (info factchecked used) which includes lower and higher plus middle wage earners.
Your tip of the day-don't ever quote FactCheck.org if you want to retain any sense of intelligence.

Just to set the record straight, Big Bird is loaded!

He doesn't need our tax dollars, nor does he need us to borrow money from China to support him and the rest of the Sesame Street gang.

I have just sent Joe a copy of Big Bird's tax return and hope that he will post it, so you can see for yourself.

"Are you still mad that an African American actually became president"

No because if Congressman West became president I would be thrilled. I am mad that the African American who is president is so common. The Obama's are terrible role models. They fraternize with ghetto trash like Jay Z who calls woman whores and says the F word in music. I don't even like white people who listen to this music.

Thirty years ago we were able to deduct interest paid on car loans and credit cards.
Reagan killed that deduction and Romney is going to go after the home interest deduction. It is the middle class that benefits the most from that not his 1% friends.
