		<description>[...] Nicholas Kristof Clutches the Pearls (by dcmediagirl at No Quarter) [Nicholas Kristof has just discovered] that right wing lunatics populate the airwaves, expressing almost comically demented, hysterically bigoted points of view about Barack Obama: “The whispering campaigns allege that Mr. Obama is a secret Muslim planning to impose Islamic law on the country. Incredibly, he is even accused - in earnest! - of being the Antichrist.”… Where was Nicholas Kristoff during the Republican primaries in South Carolina in 2000?  During Max Cleland’s 2002 bid for reelection?  During the 2004 Swift Boat/John Kerry is French smearapalooza?  Does Nicholas Kristoff really believe we’ve seen the worst of this campaign season?&#8230; The closer we get to November being called the Antichrist will seem like a tickling competition. What will happen when the right wingers start pounding Obama on things like his Rezko relationship? [...]</description>

		<description>&gt;&gt;&gt; I’m guessing that, for example, Lucianne Goldberg never sat down with the ghastly Jonah to gently lecture him on the importance of tolerance and inclusion.  

I work all day trying to hammer out a sentence that succint...and usually fail. 

&gt;&gt;&gt; The closer we get to November being called the Antichrist will seem like a tickling competition.

Poor Obama! He&#039;s going to get thrashed like a 99 Cent Store pinata between now and the Convention. And, if this little bit of foofaraw gives his disciples the vapors, imagine what the Republican Slime Machine will do to him.

I predict thoroughly farkled-up Karma for Senator Hope-a-Dope.</description>

		<description>Like the Movie Theater Marquee says, DCMediagirl, you have &quot;Jaws&quot; playing in my head. Why do humans think the facts are negotiable? Sen. Barak Obama incites and takes no responsibility for the driveby &quot;race and run&quot;. The shark is bustin the hull and we are all swimin for the shore. 

 The Anti-Christ endtimers are present in Iran and in America. Different book, same movie with the same ending.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Between the iron gates of fate,
The seeds of time were sown,
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known;
Knowledge is a deadly friend
When no one sets the rules.
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>I&#039;ve always thought Kristof was a republican mole.

His periodic schtick about respecting values of the fundamentalist so-called values voters tacitly justifies the right wing fringe political interests. He has also written that electing Hillary is equal to or worse than electing Bush, Jr. b/c it creates a de facto political aristocracy. Funny, it is only when a woman is being elected state ruler that the anti-dynastic arguments get made. Going back to or near Kristof&#039;s preferred century for examples of religious and political tolerance, one John Knox once explained why Queen Elizabeth I, because she was a woman, could not be an effective ruler and thus should not be &quot;king&quot; or, that is to say, queen. Allowing a woman to be ruler of England was said to be an offense against God&#039;s order. 

Kudos to Kristof for helping the abused in other countries, but he is a toady for the status quo in the U.S.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Because it is coming regardless of who our candidate is. But not just quite yet.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Right, but they&#039;re fishing for responses, right now, so it will be nothing new, pretty much the same as Obama, but with greater control of the press.

And it will be interesting to see what dirt is brought up on McCain, in terms of terrorist enablers.

It is beyond revolting when politicains betray the physical safety of the american public, for money.</description>

		<description>I think the republicans will have to out do themselves in smearing either candidate because they can&#039;t run on anything else.</description>

		<description>I really think that the media in general is so far out of touch that they actually believe the Obama bullshit. And just as likely they will express surprise and outrage when the Republicans actually start their smear campaign. Because it is coming regardless of who our candidate is. But not just quite yet.</description>

		<description>Good post, dcmediagirl. I was laughing at &quot;free to be you and me&quot; I&#039;d forgotten all about that. 

This election is bringing out every complaint I&#039;ve ever had about progressives. This country has suffered such an assault by George Bush, I haven&#039;t had the freedom to complain about progressives and the things they do that I don&#039;t like. LOL, the feelings I have about Free to Be haven&#039;t changed much. I am not holding hands and singing Kumbaya with people who advocate treason and torture. And I am not playing with that Obama kid just because you all expect me too. Personally I just think he&#039;s a little creep, LOL.</description>

		<description>You outdid yourself here, DCMediaGirl.  Wow.

Okay, this cracked me up:  &quot;The rumors circulate enough that Glenn Beck of CNN asked the Rev. John Hagee, a conservative evangelical, what the odds are that Mr. Obama is the Antichrist.&quot;

Just love it.</description>

		<description>Another point I think one of the Clinton&#039;s greatest strengths is their empathy, most politicians fake, Bill and Hillary, perhaps because of their backgrounds, do not.

Say what you will about them, they are of the same class as most of us, they were not brought up children of privilege. Having experienced the roller coaster ride of economics and class, they understand what the average American feels when contemplating the future. 

I would consider this a unique advantage, and I hope Hillary remember this, when someone gives her advice that runs contrary to her instincts. 

She&#039;ll need it as President, unless she wants some half wit running the country, making decisions by Axlerod, say, as opposed to leadership, and intellect.</description>
