Listen, little internet vermin...you're no match for us.  You better go back to your nintendo games.  The characters don't talk back.  haha</description>

		<description>Great cartoon and accompanying sophisticated comments and link. As usual with your cartoons, you really hone in on important issues voters need to be aware of as we approach the GE.  A number of people who have commented on your cartoon are clearly aware of and sickened by the race baiting that has been going on and by the media bias that perpetuates it ad nauseum.  It is unfortunate that the behavior of the BO campaign has led many of us to consider switching our support to McCain, because even though we disagree with many of his stances on issues, he is looking more and more like the lesser of 2 evils.  Too bad there is no viable 3rd option. Although this is off-topic, I have to add that I am disturbed by the fact that Hillary, who was my clear choice, is now backing Obama allegedly to help assure a Dem in the White House.  And that hubby Bill is also offering to help him get elected.  Something very disingenuous about this.  No wonder the PUMAs are boiling mad.</description>

		<description>BO's ethnicity was in this from the beginning, of course, and it was up to him to convince voters that it did not drive his policies.  But, then Michelle told a newsperson that when blacks saw that whites would vote for hubby, they'd be out for him in droves.  He didn't dispute her words.  Then came the race-baiting debacle in SC.  From then on BO owned his race and all the assumptions that go with it, for good or ill.  If some white people are nervous about having a black Prez, it was up to him to dispel their anxiety.  It doesn't matter if they have good reason to be uneasy or even whether it's outright racist, if Obama wanted to win, he had to deal with the problem.  He had to ease their doubts, but he has only increased them.  He's made people uncertain about him as a black candidate by his wife's words and his associations with black racists.  He can't put the genie of fear back in the bottle by playing minority victim.  Anyone who responds to that is already in his sway, and there are a lot more people on the opposite side.</description>

		<description>Most of you don't follow faith, and if  you did, you are aware that sooner or later the name Prince of Air has a meaning. And, if some of you can't remember who this individual is ask your clergy. Keep fighting these people, the last thing we want is our Airwaves- completely won over by these darkforces, because we know what the outcome is. They have managed to seduce CNN, even though MSNBC is the Prince of Air's headquarters and his son, Barack, has a pillow there to lay on, don't let them seduce FOX- keep sending them anything you see that is out of the ordinary concerning the Prince's son. It is extremely important that our airwaves are not control by these evildoers.</description>

		<description>People are smart enough to know that Obama is just feeding the situation and trying to make problems where there are not.  Did anyone notice that the source of this story is CNN? The b.o. camp pretty much owns CNN. His major advertising dollars are going to the political page on their web site.... DON'T go there, don't feed their numbers. The numbers are what they use to bring on more advertising dollars from other vendors.  CNN is SO bias and no wonder the story came from them.  I saw it on aol and it had the quote from obama then it said "cnn source"  It just makes me go for McCain even more. Honest Man McCain.......Even if he doesn't stand for everything I do, at least I know where he is coming from. I'm sick of CNN and of course b.o.'s tactics.</description>

		<description>camus' analysis was very enlightening. thank you.

 i've been feeling the manipulating and  accusatory rhetoric from the blablah camp and media surrogates since the beginning. but to see that the psych-op is so deeply embedded in the manchurian candidate game plan really makes me want to vomit.

so many folks, just too busy, or not finding access to the facts, are quite blind and deaf to this activity. i'm only aware since i've found the other media here on the web, and even here one has to be able to discriminate regarding the kool aid imbibers and psych-op pap.

this site manages to stay very emotionally/intellectually clear, and cleanly informative, and at times, the remarks towards the trolls are laugh out loud hilarious. it's the site i hop onto first thing. Larry, thanks. it's the anti-dote to the obama spin serum that is flooding the nation's consciousness as we lead up to the GE.

my resistance to voting repub/McCain is ingrained, though i have often trumpeted that i  want McCain to win.
 i will definitely not vote for obama and his lot.

as Tina Fey says in her sitcom: "i'm telling all my friends i'll be voting for obama, but i will secretly be voting for John McCain".

i kind of feel this way...

obama's race baiting , classist attitude, and spate of outright lies, will come back to bite him in the butt...instant karma gonna get him on that. lots of pissed off typical working class white people clinging to their religion and guns... millions of women who will not be moved by the latest spin and fear tactics..... all staying home in nov, or voting for John. 

what a shame the obama manipulation/psych-op was allowed to get away with  so much underhanded crapola. but then, who is "policing the police", as they say.... the new totalitarians  have their willing puppet... and the money keeps on flowing.

i've been thinking that there is no more actual two party system. same oligarchs behind the one world  curtain. the rest of us just unwitting participants in the game plan. keep the drama going...smoke and mirrors....Hillary got caught and destroyed while upsetting that applecart...now her supporters must be re-educated to obamacratic nation.

the whole thing disgusts me. and scares many of us who are hip to the program being perpetrated. we're old enough to be very well acquainted with history.

i have a funny feeling i can't seem to shake, that John McCain will be thrown under the bus by powerful  one world repubs in cahoots with obamacrat repubs in the now destroyed dem party... and obama is their manchurian candidate of choice.

i hope the masses go big for patriot McCain.

watch and learn.</description>

		<description>Thank you Col. West for this astute assessment of one the most divisive candidates the Democratic Party has ever had. Someone aptly named him the "Flim-Flam Man".  As usual the Democratic Party has screwed up.</description>

		<description>For me, the following is a pretty damning timeline which shows that Obama deliberately turned blacks against the Clintons and whites in general in order to monopolize their vote, which turned out to be his margin of victory:

&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sweet blog special: “Black America will wake up”–Michelle Obama on MSNBC.
WASHINGTON—With polls showing African-Americans have yet to give overwhelming support to White House hopeful Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), his wife Michelle said “black America will wake up and get it” in an interview running on MSNBC on Monday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;
Posted by Lynn Sweet on &lt;strong&gt;November 12, 2007 &lt;/strong&gt;
----------------

Obama Camp's Memo on Clintons' Politicizing Race
&lt;strong&gt;January 12, 2008 &lt;/strong&gt;01:15 PM 

Buzz up!on Yahoo!Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign has prepared a detailed memo listing various instances in which it perceived Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign to have deliberately played the race card in the Democratic primary. 

The memo, which was obtained by the Huffington Post and has been made public elsewhere, is believed to have been given to an activist and contains mostly excerpts from different media reports. It lists the contact info and name of Obama's South Carolina press secretary, Amaya Smith, and is broken down into five incidents in which either Clinton, her husband Bill, or campaign surrogates made comments that could be interpreted as racially insensitive.

Hoodwinked
Is Obama speaking in code?
By Jan Freeman  &#124;  &lt;strong&gt;February 10, 2008&lt;/strong&gt;

BROWSING THE LANGUAGE news online recently, I found a lively debate underway at the MSNBC politics blog. The news item sparking the discussion was a note on Barack Obama's colloquial language; he was already telling voters not to be bamboozled or hoodwinked by his opponents, not to fall for the okey-doke. And in St. Louis, the MSNBC reporter said (mistakenly, it now appears), he added hornswoggled to the list.

Some of us would be happy to hear more colorful language on the campaign trail. But a number of blog commenters had a problem with bamboozle and hoodwink. “Some of these terms are straight out of Malcolm X or Jesse Jackson speeches,” said one. “But it is OK if Obama plays up his race, right?”

Now, Obama’s “okey-doke,” meaning “con” – mid-20th-century slang – is indeed primarily black English, my dictionaries say. But what do bamboozle and hoodwink, those showy synonyms for “deceive,” have to do with race?

Further searching unearthed the answer, a theory that has percolated in the Democratic blogosphere since the candidates’ spat last month over who was playing the race card. Obama’s verbs, according to this analysis, were chosen to echo a speech by the eponymous hero of Spike Lee’s 1992 “Malcolm X,” and thus to send a secret message.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For me, the following is a pretty damning timeline which shows that Obama deliberately turned blacks against the Clintons and whites in general in order to monopolize their vote, which turned out to be his margin of victory:</p>
<p><em><strong>Sweet blog special: “Black America will wake up”–Michelle Obama on MSNBC.<br />
WASHINGTON—With polls showing African-Americans have yet to give overwhelming support to White House hopeful Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), his wife Michelle said “black America will wake up and get it” in an interview running on MSNBC on Monday.</strong></em><br />

<p>Obama Camp&#8217;s Memo on Clintons&#8217; Politicizing Race<br />
<strong>January 12, 2008 </strong>01:15 PM </p>
<p>Buzz up!on Yahoo!Sen. Barack Obama&#8217;s presidential campaign has prepared a detailed memo listing various instances in which it perceived Sen. Hillary Clinton&#8217;s campaign to have deliberately played the race card in the Democratic primary. </p>
<p>The memo, which was obtained by the Huffington Post and has been made public elsewhere, is believed to have been given to an activist and contains mostly excerpts from different media reports. It lists the contact info and name of Obama&#8217;s South Carolina press secretary, Amaya Smith, and is broken down into five incidents in which either Clinton, her husband Bill, or campaign surrogates made comments that could be interpreted as racially insensitive.</p>

<p>Hoodwinked<br />
Is Obama speaking in code?<br />

		<description>Yassar Arafat had the same color lips. Google Arafat and purple lips and see if I am not correct. I think Barack Obama is an Arab. With 3 Arab names and a father who was designated an Arab African I suspect that Barky is an Arab American.</description>

		<description>Definitely. It's those losers, just like the upper class white college Obamacans who spout the most virluent misogyny and throw around the racebaiting at every go. Idiots don't even have clue one about what it's like to truly experience racism. I have some Native American ancestry and look Ameriasian, I have experienced racism on a small scale, enough to really hack me off to see these rich white college Obamacans thinking they have any clue what they throw around so casually. I'm also lower middle class and lived well under the poverty line from the time my parents divorced to my late 20's. I get really hacked off at Obama, who lived a life of privledge every moment of his life pretending he was poor. Reminds me of the rich kids I knew back in my 20's whining about how "poor" they were as college students, then turning around and sneering at you when you said you had bought decent clothes, shoes, etc... from KMart, and you could only afford to get new clothing, shoes, etc... on your birthday and at Christmas. They were totally ignorant of their classism. (And I knew as poor as we were, there were people even worse off than we were. We at least had a home and food and could get new clothes a couple of times a year.)</description>
