Democrat convention will be held at “New Black Panther Stadium”

Political euphemisms are always ripe for parody and cynicism. So, in their brilliance, the DNC decided to hold the 2012 DNC convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, a state that will swing Republican this fall and decided to vote against gay marriage right when Obama decided to be for it. Oh, and they are holding the convention at the Bank of America stadium.  What a fitting tribute to the help our OWS President has given the 1%er class Bankers.

Ooops. Well, we can’t have that …

National Democrats have repeatedly touted their stand against taking corporate money for their convention in September, and so it was striking to see two emails from the DNC host committee referring to the Charlotte venue where President Obama will speak as “Panthers Stadium.”

It’s the place where the Panthers play, but it’s actually called Bank of America stadium.

So now its Panther Stadium. A commenter quipped:

I’m surprised they didn’t go all the way and call it New Black Panther Stadium.

So there you have it. Anytime you hear the Democrats try to avoid calling it Bank of America Stadium, just pipe up and say “oh, you mean New Black Panther Stadium”…. The shoe fits, and the DNC should enjoy wearing it.

    are working frantically behind the scenes to rewrite the contract for the stadium naming rights.

    I believe contractually the media is required to refer to the stadium as Bank of America Stadium..

    I am sure a little mutual back scratching will ensue and a representative amount of NC Panthers (football not New Black) will come on stage to justify the last minute name change.

    why did they not simply pay for temporary naming rights?

    Let’s see,… what monikers could have been used?

    * Pelosi’s Palace?
    * Reid’s Ring?

    * Progressive’s Paradise?
    (I give This One 5 Stars ,but I’m a trifle biased}

    * Deborah’s Dark Dungeon of Demonic Horrors?
    (Mysterious,AND Spooky… but probably to many letters to fit)

    and finally : “Kremlin In The Carolinas”

    Suggestions?? (How ’bout a little levity?)

    Obama’s rhetoric is veering so far left he would fit right in with that.
