My Presidential Christmas ad that I posted yesterday (link here) certainly elicited a few comments over at You Tube. Fans of the Baby Jeebus and of Mike Huckabee were moved by my ad but perhaps in a different way in which you, my faithful readers were.
The first comment defended Huckabee’s righteousness…
“Sir your video in simply appalling, please reconsider your opinion. Huckabee is a man of integrity and I do fear that the years you've spent on the earth have weathered you into a living. breathing Grinch.
Sorry to be so blunt, but you can't attack Huckabee. He is the only man in the race who can actually do our country some good.”
Evidently, I am not allowed to attack Huckabee because he is a man of GAWD, but overall I found this person’s comment funnier than my video. On the upside, one sweet soul is praying for mine...
“Sir, I’m sorry you are so angry...I pray that someone will melt the hardness of your heart and mind with love this week as has had to happen to me many times. May God truly bless you…”
That’s nice. I like that. Someone I don’t even know has my happiness in mind, very sweet. And then there was this from another viewer…
“You are misleading viewers you may look at Christmas in a negative light. The true reason is exactly how Huckabee describes it. Hence the word Christ in Christmas. You are a loser and should be ashamed of your manipulation of the savior Jesus Christ.”
Okay this person, while not as gracious as the others, is out to keep the name of the Savior pure and free of manipulation. I think however, Wal*Mart, the Chinese lead-based toy companies, and Huckabee himself, are the ones manipulating the image of the Savior for their purposes. And c’mon, this person called me a loser…Very Un-Christian.
Things turned a bit more negative…
“maybe you will get some Rogaine for Christmas!”
And my personal favorite…
“nice earring HOMO”
Man, now that is just plain hurtful. At this time of holy reflection and celebration, I am called a homo. Of course, which if true, only adds to my Christ-Like personality seeing how Christ loved all men.
There were a couple of positive comments, especially the following from one of my Bagwine faves…Desert Songbird, who said, “Ah Bagwine Man, these people on YouTube just don't get you. But I love ya, Matt-Man, I love ya!”
Well said Songbird and it puts an exclamation point on something I think we all already know. Bagwine Ruminations readers are the smartest, funniest, and sexiest group of people in the Blogosphere.

I may have another post later, but if I don’t, I will be back here tomorrow for Stream of Consciousness Friiiiiday. Cheers!!

They're all a bunch of crying "Huckababies"!
I get the joke...Am I a loser too??
WAAAAH!!
politics aside, do people not understand SATIRE!???
[rolls eyes]
Metalmom: Wow...The other day you came up with "Bag-Tastic" and today it's "Huckababies". You are a phrase-coining Goddess. Cheers!!
Lois: Sadly, it is lost on many. Cheers!!
Tough crowd Matt! thanks for the link to utube! I thought the vedio was magnanimous & maleficent! I will check out what those mean as I gather rice! Have a great day Matt!!
Roger: Ha...Enjoy your vocabulary lesson. Cheers!!
Sadly, satire is often lost on those most in need of it.
I meant what I said, Matty me boy, you never fail to bring a smile to my face and a laugh to my soul. You are highly intelligent and quick of wit. Oh, and I also happen to know that you are possessed of a deep faith, though that subtlety is likely lost on the less observant as well.
You do me proud, my friend.
Now, bring out the rapier. It's time to skewer someone else.
Oh, and nice earring, you homo-loving man.
Songbird: You speak words of wisdom and thanks. I find the fact that you know me so well eerily uncomfortable and yet it arouses me as well.
Screw the rapier for now, I am going to break out my Bible Belt and spank some Evangelical "Naughty Hotties". Cheers!!
Thank goodness there are good, Christmas celebrating Christians out there to let you know that "You are a loser and should be ashamed of your manipulation of the savior Jesus Christ.”
*shaking my head in disbelief*
Dana: I found that quote the funniest of all. Huckabee is whoring for the Christian vote, stores are marketing Baby Jeebus, and I am the "manipulator", not to mention a loser. Amen. Cheers Dana!!
"Huck" em if they can't take a joke!
I'm going to try to get to the Youtube site today and leave a comment...
Peace
Odat: Thank you, and if you do go to the You Tube site, may God Almighty go with you. Cheers!!
Earring = Homo ???WTF...
I'm glad your ad got this guy out of his cave he has obviously been living in.
Al: No shit. That guy is obviously stuck in the Wayback Machine without a ticket off. Cheers!!
Fools, they do not see the satire, the sarcasm, the pure wit of the Matt-Man for what it is...Solid Gold, cue the dancers!
We love ya baby,~ said in my best attempt of a Sammy Davis accent!
Sassy: Ha and thanks. Move over Dean Martin, here comes Matt-Man with his sexy dancers, "The God Diggers". Cheers!!
Ohhh.....muyyyy.....GAWD! Colon explosions from undercooked duck and bloody marys from 9 7&7's!
I absolutely adore you.
May you have "piece" on earth! :D
I'm posting YOUR video on my blog as well as sending this out to my Myspace addicts...
CHEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I certainly hope that this year, Santa has a bag full of funny bones to give out!
Deb: Thanks. Your kindness is topped only by your great writing and your hotness. Thanks again, and Cheers!!
Leighann: For the most part, if Santa did pass out funny bones, most people's bodies would reject the implant due to chronic dullness and bitterness. Cheers!!
Well, I was hoping you didn't mind me putting this great humor onto my blog! I need some laughs after the last few posts I did!
So thank YOU!
Deb: Not at all. I am a bit of an attention whore anyway. Cheers my friend, and I'll be dropping by!!
Whoa, you brought all the Christians out of the woodwork...where they 've been choppin' away and passin' the time, and thinking up "smart" remarks for just an occasion like your YouTube presentation.
Come over to my blog for some Christmas hugs: http://workofthepoet.blogspot.com.
you deserve them. :)
OH man! You have stirred the pot my friend! Keep adding your special herbs and spices!
HUH? I'm sexy? Bwahahahahaha!
Teach: Thanks for the hug. And the Christians shall be lead by a sarcastic Bagwine Drinker. I'll be by today. Cheers!!
Julie: Stirring away Jules. Of course you're sexy, you partake of Bagwine. Cheers!!
I'm from Arkansas. I've met Mike Huckabee. The man can't even spell "integrity". He doesn't have an honest bone in his body.
Matt-Man, I have a game going on my blog right now that right up your alley!!
Come and play with me!
ah...you can comment at YouTube? okay...I'm a little behind the times...oh geez...
not all Christians are self righteous, ignorant, whineyasses...
Jay: Thanks for the tip. If I ever meet him, I'll talk slowly. Cheers Dude!!
108: How could I pass up a chance to play with you? I'll be over. Cheers!!
Kat: I know they aren't...Hell, I'm a cynical, sarcastic, free-love kinda Christian. Cheers my friend!!
ya know....the open robe on YouTube looks a little more creepy than it did here...
Kat: Ya want me to take it off? Cheers!!
Is it more open over there?
I like the earing and you are way better looking than that hairy Ken doll.
What I don't get is how you could be manipulative and they can say he wasn't.
Marilyn: Why thank you very much. I guess Christian exploitation is okay in the eyes of the "saved". Cheers!!
Don't worry, I sent them all Darwin chia pets for Christmas...
Thanks to Deb, I was able to view your video. Let me just tell you that I think something inside of me ruptured I laughed so hard. Seriously. I heard it pop.
I suddenly want a Seven and Seven.
VE: That is a very nice touch, and I apologize for not stopping by. I will be over to redeem myself.
Nancy: Thanks for stopping by and I am glad you got a laugh, although please dont sue me for your pending spleen-ectomy. Deb Rocks!! Cheers!!
This had me laughing.
Do you think "they" understand the irony behind how quickly "they" descended into name-calling?
Keep up the crusade, my good man. I'm right behind you passing out leaflets.
Travis: Thank you my good man. Yes, a good Christian is quick to tell you what an asshole you are. Cheers!! That's what Jesus would want.
why those homo-hating, jebus-lovin', name callin', baldy-phobe, huck-a loogies have no sense of humor whatsoever do they?
Yes folks, we want a man who has this fan club running our country....first thing he would do is level bagwine and all its residents..
I'll save you a seat on the front row of Hell. I'll probably get there first...unless Baby Jeebus saves me. There's always hope!
Bond: In the name of Baby Jeebus I feel sanctified!! Bless you and your fambily. And the choir said Amen. Cheers!!
Real: You know that you are burning in hell. Right? In the meantime, I will continue to think that you're nothing but hot!! Cheers Baby!!
Well, then I'm a loser too. I thought what you did was funnier than heck. Matt-Man ROCKS! Have a great day and keep them coming. :)
Sandee: Thanks for coming 'round again, and dammit, you rock as well. Cheers!!
I just watched your ad campaign and thought, 'finally an honest ad'. If you're ever going to really try to get elected, you're going to have to learn to lie, cheat and steal.

I posted a comment on you tube...but I loved it! People just need to get over themselves!
Jeff: I guess I am doomed to a life as a political loser. Cheers!!
Raven: Thanks and God Bless You. Cheers!!
Scary thing is, Huck could be president. I am shivering right now at the thought.
Sparky: Please don't even mention that. Don't spoil my Christmas with such thoughts. Cheers!!
Looks like this Canadian is going to have to go over to Youtube and further whip (mmmm) up a frenzy...
:)
Anndi: Mmmmmm, I love when you break out da whip!! Cheers!!
You just love to stir up trouble, don't ya?? I'll have to check out what the ill-fated videos.
Mimi: Just stirring life's stew that's all. Cheers!!
