Petraeus, the beloved general, says it the same way.
Heads explode in 3… 2… 1…

“why can’t we go back to the days without google and youtube?”-cons
So a few wisecracks is now “freaking out.”? Okayyyy.
Actually it is annoying and so is his (and McCain) saying Taleebon. Every time they said it I started signing The Banana Boat song to myself.
Eh, I’m fine with “Pahk-is-tahn,” “ih-rok,” “ih-ron,” and “Tal-ee-bahn,” but “nu-kyoo-lur” still bugs me. I even caught my girlfriend saying it the other day.
And don’t get me started on “eye-raq” or “eye-talian.” Yeesh, it’s like people are trying to sound uneducated.
Jeez . . . When did everyone become arbiters of speech? Of course, I have to admit Palin drives me mad with her syntax destroying yipping. I suppose we should all get over it and stop being so puerile.

What makes you think they’re “wisecracks”? Republicans generally consider Obama’s behavior anti-American because of this and are actually quite offended by it. It’s been a wingnut meme for a while. Own it, Jay. Own it.
This was actually given as one reason why Obama is a “secret Muslim” so yeah, I think some people are freaking out.
OMG, I had no idea Gen Petraeus was a secret Muslim terrorist, but I just saw video proof!
What connection does the General have to the Weather Underground?

Oh please. Can we have some more drama, maam?
If in doubt, deny everything.
Jeez . . . When did everyone become arbiters of speech?
Right around the time George W. Bush started running for office.
OH SNAP
Go eat an apple, Farris. Those are the green ones. Not the orange ones.
Wonder if Obama pronounces “aunt” like “ant,” i.e., with the majority.
Or like most black peeps, in the original and correct manner.
To-mah-to?
Who the hell cares?
Oh please. Can we have some more drama, maam?
Sure. Head on over to McCain’s place, they’re giving it away.
We’re adding this story to our site. Ridiculous!
I just listened to a lecture about this sort of thing the other day… according to linguists there isn’t really a correct pronunciation or grammar for anything, there are just different dialects. If you’re communicating, you’re doing the job, as far as they’re concerned. So ‘eye-rak’ is sort of part of the American English dialect, as a replacement for how Arabs say it, ‘ahl ih-rahk,’ with the r having a sort of Spanish-r sound.
This phenomenon reaches all the way into cliche African-American speech patterns, which are actually West African bantu rules of grammar applied to the English Language. If a black person says “I tired,” or “I is tired,” or “I’s tired,” it’s because, like Russian, most West African languages don’t use the ‘to be’ verb.
They got less than nothing.
Seriously. And people are starting to lose their heads. We’ve gone from a few months ago one of the crazy cons (as opposed to the rational ones) on this blog saying Sen. Obama was ‘the closest thing to a socialist we’ve ever had running,’ to that basically being a position if not taken, at least not refuted when it’s spoken in the presence of the opposition ticket.
