FireDogLake: “OBAMA ROCKED BY SCANDAL: Is Presidential Bid Over?”
By SusanUnPC on July 12, 2008 at 11:35 PM in Barack Obama, Bernie Mac Scandal, Misogyny, Sexism
FireDogLake, one of the most influential liberal blogs that is a trailblazer for its on-site coverage of the trial of Scooter Libby, as well as its steadfast support of former ambassador Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame Wilson, writes tonight:
OBAMA ROCKED BY SCANDAL: Is Presidential Bid Over?
I know we’re not supposed to directly quote AP stories without paying them serious cash, but this story is so important and has such major ramifications for this election — which will of course decide the leader of the free world — that I feel it vital to get this information out there immediately. The AP is to be praised for their tough-minded professional journalism.
The author quotes the sexist, crude joke told by Mac, which we reported at No Quarter this morning. The author continues:
This is potentially game changing. Who would ever have expected such stuff from Bernie Mac? At any rate I don’t see how Obama can possibly win in November in the aftermath of this catastrophe.
However, this story does go some distance towards silencing another controversy that the Obama campaign has been desperate to quiet:
FireDogLake quotes the Associated Press story again:
Mac’s appearance was Obama’s first celebrity event of the evening. Later at a Lincoln Park nightclub, Obama spoke to a raucous crowd of music fans, who paid up to $500 per person to see a performance by Wilco lead singer Jeff Tweedy, and two other band members."Before these guys go, I want them to know that I had heard a rumor
that they had suggested that I had nothing by them on my iPod," Obama
said. "That is not true. I love Wilco."Nevertheless, political observers are certain that the Obama camp is having a great deal of trouble staying on-message, and the candidate himself is prone to terrible gaffes just like "BernieGate." Mac is just the latest in the long line of embarrassing associates Obama has had to throw under the bus, giving rise to speculation that he is a flip-flopper who cannot produce a Sister Souljah moment. Without a doubt, John McCain has once again won the week.
(Emphasis mine.)
Here are NoQuarter’s two stories to date:
The CRITICAL FACTOR HERE is Obama’s brushing off of Bernie Mac’s overtly sexist jokes, one after another. This is what Obama told the crowd gathered at the fundraiser:
“… Bernie you got to clean up your act. This is a family affair… I’m just messing with you,” he said.
“I’m just messing with you”?
Obama is excusing Mac’s degradation of women?
Obama is excusing Mac’s degradation of Mac’s OWN WIFE?
Obama is excusing Mac’s crude jokes that have NO place in presidential politics?
Obama is excusing Mac’s remarks about “ho’s” and “menopause” — as a husband and father of two daughters — as well as a nation that is over half female?
Shakesville’s Melissa McEwan hits the nail on the head:
The headline of this AP article is “Bernie Mac makes off-color joke at Obama event,” though it should be “Bernie Mac makes misogynistic joke at Obama event.” And, for my money, it’s far less newsworthy that Bernie Mac made the joke in the first place, than the fact that presumed Democratic nominee Barack Obama chided him for it, only to immediately assure Mac he was just kidding.
… Read all.

Memeorandum.com is tracking other blog responses to the A.P. and FireDogLake stories.
For Obama to condone these types of remarks isn’t surprising. Didn’t he run his whole campaign the same way?
PUMA
Hillary or McCain ‘08
Yes, and so The Pied Piper continues. Either tacit or active condoning of such remarks/behavior is his modus operandi.
And we will hear some sort of apology for it soon. Watch.
Holy shit. The article at FireDogLake was satire. It is totally ridiculing sites like this, and the author of this piece treats it as a serious piece. This is the funniest thing I have ever read on the internet.
Next, you will be quoting The Onion.
Even funnier are the idiots who will cast their vote for Barack Hussein Obama and Revered Wright in the fall.
Wow. You’re totally fucked up.
That’s the way to get people to overlook it - pretend to be an American icon using vulgarity.
The fact that you don’t get it only goes to support how moronic and Nazi-like Obama supporters are. Pathetic.
“That’s the way to get people to overlook it - pretend to be an American icon using vulgarity.”
Julie Andrews is English.
No Ted, this is double satire, the sad part is you and your punk trolls don’t get it.
Ohhhhhhhhhh, is that like double secret probation?
The post IS satire. As to what satire ‘is’ well….folks here are supposed to be smart enough to figure that out.
This post is weakened by the fact that the satirical nature of the FDL post is not recognized.
I spend a lot of time at FDL and the shift in attitude there resulting from El Foldo’s atttempted FISA walk back was profound. Many, many commenters there just will not accept that and a large number contacted the Obambi ‘campaign’ and asked for refunds.
The atmosphere there has, as I say, changed to the point where I can now pour it on about the empty suit that is Obambi. People are gettting educated about Kmeic, Rezko and soon I’ll be commenting on the strange ebb and flow of Obambi’s cash machine.
Pretty obvious that the Republicans have played a large role in the creation of the ‘Magic Man’.
But….
The post referenced here is more about how FDL views the corporatist press than what the consensus is on Obambi.
The verdict on his ‘Magicness’ over there is,
‘Think I’ll take a pass on this guy since I CANNOT TELL WHAT HE STANDS FOR…..
“El Foldo”
I like that.
If you can’t tell what he stands for, then you haven’t been paying attention. But we all know what McCain stands for, so make your choice.

Ted,
Under the heading, Life’s little ironies, it is worth checking out the comment section at Huffpo for the New Yorker Obama cover. Obama supporters know the cover is satirical, but they are outraged, regardless. How does the cover make you feel?
We progressives are a rather earnest bunch. Here, we’re more sensitive to sexism because of what was done to Hillary and what continues to be done to her female supporters. Obama camp supporters are touchy on a broader and deeper range of topics.
I don’t mind the NYer cover. It is clear to me it is satire. If I were a McCain supporter, I would be a bit embarrassed I suppose. And the people who read the NYer are sophisticated enough to understand the cover for what it is.
The only problem is when that cover is reproduced elsewhere, hoping that ‘low information” voters will not understand it. As an example, how many NYer covers have been posted here? One. That one. I wonder why.
I’m sure it’s Hillary’s fault.
Only half right. It’s always BILL’s fault.
I’m not sure he condones them but he does seem to be at the very least an enabler. There also seems to be a cultural/generational comfort level with blatant misogyny and Obama is fast becoming that trend’s poster boy.
But the reason this is so stupid for his campaign is that anyone actually harboring racist thoughts will feel, yet again, justified.
Ultimately neither may hurt his chances in November, but at what cost to our civility?
I can concur with this. I’ve already heard comments of that nature.
I am not suprized at all. He has no moral charactor and no principle. Obambi is Sexist, rascist, lier, incompetent, and rud, etc.
Nancy, let me list the words you were unable to spell correctly: “suprized”, “charactor”,
“rascist”, “lier”, and “rud”. A quite stunning public display of illiteracy.
Now what was that comment again, about Harvard-educated Obama being “incompetent”?
I’m fairly certain that you’re also unable to spell “irony”.
no, no, no, S this more of that double satire.
Yeah, and you two are brain trusts. That’s why you’re supporting a candidate who repeatedly states his biggest qualification for being president is his time as a community organizer.
Who after two years on the campaign trail still only has a rudimentary grasp of the issues at best.
But hey, no worries, he changes his position so often, why spend too much time trying to understand the last one?
Can you spell “clueless”?
“This is a family affair. … I’m just messing with you”…
Is there anything Obama will not flip flop on?
John McCain should say on behalf of the Republican party they are just messing with him when they run the Michelle Obama greatest hits this fall: “Never Been Proud” and “$600 Earrings” and “You Better Work” and “Gimme Sum Pie.” Not to mention “Goddamn Whitey,” if we’re lucky. But Obama just threw “Lay Off My Wife” under the bus. Duly noted.
Hope Floats,
You are right, we will be seeing a whole lot of “I’m just messing with you” ads and youtube videos.
Gonna be a fun summer!
Like a fish out of water.
“A man who believes in everything believes in nothing…”
http://www.nydailynews.com/opinions/2008/07/12/2008-07-12_will_the_real_obama_please_stand.html
Exactly. He speaks in mixed messages….now, even in the same breath.
Man, I was excited that this was going to be big. I’m a 100% Hillary supporter, always have been. And I’ve jumped all over Obama on every single issue of is votes, his record, who he hangs out with and the sexist way in which he treated Hillary. But this Bernie Mac story isn’t going anywhere. If Obama himself stood up in front of the crowd and made sexist jokes, that would be a story…not this. Sorry.
Not that I don’t think what B.Mac said was disgusting, it was…but that’s the nature of comedians like him and rap stars. Everyone takes for granted that they will hear this stuff and when they do, it’s no surprise.
I think it’s extremely un-Presidential for Obama to hang out with these guys, but face it…this is the black culture that is accepted by society, especially now, with all this race crap going on in this campaign.
The FISA vote was the story that should have destroyed him, along with the campaign finance flip and the NAFT flip, and the death penalty flip, and the faith based initiative thing…those are the big stories…not this.
I’m with you on this one Mary Ellen. But who knows? I never thought the swiftboaters had anything going either, so I guess I’m not one to judge what will wake the public and what won’t.
I don’t think that the Swiftboaters caused Kerry’s ship to sink. I believe more that lots of people wanted Bush to finish the war he started. I remember the exit polls. Kerry lost the “Rust Belt” because those people didn’t trust him to be one of them or for them. So he lost the elections.
NO small stuff will sink Obama. This is the greatest illusion ever. Obama believes himself and that he can win the GE. DNC wants to believe that with their unclean support he can win. The media - same. The republicans are happily waiting until it will be too late to nominate Hillary and than they will come out with their ‘canons’.
(They already achieved something important: Hillary had tons of money. Now she is broke. This is not a good way to start a GE campaign.)
The ONLY thing to finish Obama is not something big, it has to be something huge. Like birth certificate, criminal indictment in the Rezko scandal, or that he proves to be unable to raise money. If June was for him in the neighborhood of 10 million, it would help. If it is under that, than the DNC would start to scramble to get Hillary back in time.
You’re right. Kerry lost his own election. I didn’t like him at all and still don’t.
You’re both wrong. The American people defeated John Kerry. Just like they will defeat Barack Obama should he actually survive until November.
Excellent point about your one huge thing theory…and I think you nailed the specific potential ones.
But also, these smaller things (though not all that small to everyone) may very well have a cumulative effect on some. The non-bloggers, non-polled, quiet voters who are reaching their “uh-oh threshold”. I know some. Their voices will be heard in November.
Mary Ellen,
So you think we should just except it because a black man said it…we should just expect this kind of thing from black comedians?…Sorry I don’t and never have…I have always thought it was wrong for any race to make vulgar jokes about another..
It is time for change….yes there is an audience for this kind of crap…but should there be?
This country need to be brought back to the center. One of the reasons I will never support Obama is because I have a little class and respect for women.
Obama represents all the thugs and Gangsta rappers that are making America an ugly place.
There is no way I can condone dumb behavior.
For all his yapping about bringing the country together, he sure has a funny way of going about it, huh? Racism bad; sexism good. HIs entire campaign has been one dysfunctional fustercluck lurching from one fauz pas to another, replete with long-winded speechifying and mind-numbing lectures. He’s only the presumptive nomineee because he talks so much we cry uncle.
Right! Just THINK for a moment if McCain had a WHITE comedian tell the same “HO” joke at a fundraiser, then McCain brushes it off with a chide and a quick, “I’m just messing with you!”
Oh, the humanity!! The OUTCRY!!!! The calls for him to step down and apologize to ALL WOMEN (but especially BLACK WOMEN!) and make amends for his disgraceful act!!!
But, Barry…being “black”, and Bernie…being Black…get to live on another day with just a wink and a nod…
NO DOUBLE STANDARD!!!!
NO MYSOGONISTIC, SEXIST JOKES!!!
NO OBAMA!! NO OBAMA!! NO OBAMA!!!!
NEVER. EVER. NEVER!
The reason for no backlash is that sexist behavior is glorified and accepted as cool in black culture.
I think Bill Cosby need to keep speaking up!
You said it all, KARMA!
30yr,
And you can control this how?
You can’t. The problem isn’t the material. Off color/blue material has always been used by certain comedians. The problem is the ‘mainstreaming’ of such material. It belongs in clubs and private situations. A joke of this nature had no place at a presidential candidate’s fundraiser. Bernie Mac proved he is an idiot. And comedians who go to formal events with their stand-by stock and trade jokes, expecting these jokes to be accepted and laughed at are really dumb, as are the candidates’ handlers who don’t take these people aside and lay the ground rules out for such events.
I don’t support Obama. But I support free speech. The joke was wrong for the venue. I think pursuing this story as if it is on par with Watergate is going to take you down an avenue of ridicule and derision. I’d rather see follow-up on FISA and I’m particularly interested in the Birth Certificate just to name two.
As far as this opening the door for racist jokes, well that goes under the karmic heading for me. I’ve always believed that you fight fire with fire. I don’t like the idea, but if that’s the only way to get Obama and his campaign’s attention well, let it fly. If you punch someone in the face, then expect to be punched back. I live by this axiom and nobody fucks with me.
I am a white 57 year old female, and I was not offended by Bernie Mac’s comment. But that is not the point. The point is that Obama wants to have things both ways. Ob has said “lay off my wife”, yet it is okay for a comedian to speak for him calling women ho’s?? He can’t have it both ways.
From the get-go Ob has flip-flopped. He cannot have it both ways. He is not capable of being a leader. I will never condone the bullshit this *democratic party* has pulled, and it doesn’t offend me at all to be called republican.
With Senator Mccain, we know what we are getting.
Why won’t Ob simply show his birth certificate? What is he hiding? Why doesn’t he even understand why we ask it??
Excuse Me? “This is not black culture”. The point is if your attempting to attain the highest office in our land, you are not only and your family an open book. The comment made was uncalled for, and Senator Obama’s remark was all kinds of wrong.
If your accused of being “sexist” and then make and support sexist comments, how are you going to president? The Democratic Party are idiots. They have, the Republicans, now, a soundbyte of Senator Obama stating “I am just messing with you”. Would not of been an issue if his remarks didnt apply to Bernie Macs words.
As a black female, I am so tired of people always assuming bad behavior can be excused because its in our culture.
I hope you are not offended by my comment below in response to Uppity…just fed up with everything Obama gets a pass on..
“As a black female, I am so tired of people always assuming bad behavior can be excused because its in our culture.”
Disagree.
How about, BAD BEHAVIOR CAN NEVER BE EXCUSED, CULTURE IRRELAVENT?
Thank you soldier4hillary. You said it better than I could.
I wish other people would wake the heck up.
Thank you!!!! I “AGREE”
Soldier4Hillary,
you are so right with your comment. I am a white woman but I have never felt these kinds of remarks should just be brushed off as being the culture. IMUS was wrong, BernieMac is wrong and Obama is wrong. Obama knew or should have known the type of jokes Bernie Mac uses and never have invited him and then to half-ass chide him and follow up with ‘just messing with ya’ is totally unacceptable. I will not, now or ever view this type of comment as ok. What is wrong with people that they have become so accepting of this?
Soldier,
I agree with you. But ‘blue’ material has been around since the days of Red Foxx. It is a black thing, but it was NEVER mainstream black culture. It was something the adults laughed in an appropriate ‘after hours’ setting. And only on occasion.
What’s happened in America is that once everyone began raising their children according to the ‘kids are people, too’ philosophy, the line of demarcation between adulthood and childhood disappeared. Parents now raise children without teaching them boundaries for fear of traumatizing them and hurting their feelings. The result is a society of uncivilized adults who have no understanding of decorum in public and social gatherings. And they all seem to be Obama supporters.
Blacks were always particularly rigid with regard to good manners. I know I was raised that way. But this current generation fell in line with what the rest of America was doing. The end result: hip-hop which the white controlled entertainment industry has mainstreamed shamelessly for profit while degrading civilization.
I’m not a fan of Mac. But even I would not have imagined he would have told a joke like this at a fundraiser for a presidential candidate no less. A lot of these high profile black entertainers today have been hand-picked by white Hollywood executives who still view blacks from the prism of Steppin Fetchit. I had given Mac the benefit of the doubt, but now I realize my instincts were right in the first place. He is a card-carrying, ignorant fool. And like far too many AAs this election cycle, he has jumped on the Obama wagon just to see a ‘black’ man elected POTUS without knowing much about the candidate, the process, our system of government and presidential politics.
And the DNC is responsible for this travesty.
I wish the election were tomorrow so I can vote for McCain and banish Obama back to corrupt Chicago bogeyland. I don’t know how much more of this national embarrassment I can take.
And my fears are that it’s only going to get worse.
I agree, Mary Ellen. I’m as blood-thisty as the next PUMA for Obama-globen, but this incident doesn’t quite cut it. It is, however, another inch in the erosion of his character and I like that aspect of it.
Obama will not condone a black man using “ho” (prostitute) to describe black women, yet he gives national interviews against Imus when Imus used to term to describe a black woman’s basketball team.
Is saying “it is no big deal to call women ‘prostitutes’” OK by you?
I wonder if Backtrack still employs the “zealous staffers” who told the young Muslim women wearing headscarves to get lost as they weren’t wanted to be pictured alongside the OMessiah?
Backtrack!!! Funny! We’ve been needing a new name for him! Good one Zee!
As always…Obama is a flip flopper.
Obama wasn’t offended by the “ho” part of Imus’ comment, just the “nappy headed” portion. He never spoke out against the sexism, just the racism.
I’ll bet he’s called Michelle a “ho” himself.
I wonder what Michelle had to say on the ride home.
This is not going to be big. These people, Obamabots, have been completely brainwashed. They minimize his flip flopping and his membership at Wright’s church (to name a few). What do you think will change their minds? They have been bamboozled.
No this is not going to topple his campaign because the approach is wrong.
Better to point out how UN-PRESIDENTIAL Obama appears when his choice of a comedian tells such a joke and pretty much contradicts an earlier statement from the candidate regarding a similar comment.
Now that WILL rock Obama’s nerves. He so wants to appear presidential.
Right you are!
His campaign is a house of cards. Who can predict which one will bring the house down?
The problem is that the FISA story isn’t all that important to many voters. They don’t see the significance to them and many buy into the Republican talking points that this law was needed to keep us safe. With 22 corrupt Democrats jumped on board the electorate simply doesn’t know what to believe.
But there are a lot of women and some decent men that are flat out tired of the youth and black culture and comedians that find misogyny acceptable. That’s something they can understand and sink their teeth into.
We’ve seen enough misogyny this election cycle to know how pervasive it is in our culture. We see it even thought our corrupt media ignores it.
I think this story alone means nothing. added to all that has gone before it’s just one more straw on the camels back.
On the contrary, Mary Ellen, its the drip,drip,drip of misogynistic gamesmanship that is taking huge toll on false king.
Don’t forget there are alot more de-toxed kool-aid drinkers, newly formed from the FISA fiasco, waking up and actively going against him. They won’t be returning to BO’s camp anytime soon. When they set their eyes on Rezko, Ayers, Asammarre, ACORN, and think back on the ‘brush-off’, there will be an epiphany of galactic preportions. These former Messiah supporters will be his worst enemy.
Funny thing is, its Obama himself, that shoots himself in the foot on such a regular basis. He’s passing George Dubya in that department.
Does Barack Obama hang out with anyone who isn’t scum?
Only when he is with Hillary!
gee, Carol, your judgment is as appalling as your Messiah’s.
Rezko much?
no Carol meant Hillary ISN’T scum.
What’s that old saying? You know a person by the company he or she keeps? I guess the next thing we’ll find out is that he regularly plays golf with O.J. Simpson.
On tomorrow’s FightTheSmears saga:
“That is not true. I love Wilco.”
LMAO. I bet he’s got Christ For President” on his iPod.
Oh it’s Jesus Christ our President
God above our king
With a job and pension for young and old
We will make hallelujah ring
Of course, that’s not by Wilco, but by Guthrie.
Next on FightTheSmears: Bernie Mac didn’t call women “hos”.
No, he said, “Why’d I hose the driveway?” “Why’d I hose the car?” “Why’d I hose the neighbor’s yard with my water and power bill so high?”
“Why Idaho’s potatoes so good with butter?”
imust….RRRRRRRRROFLLLLLLLLLLLL.

My original post way ahead of anyone early this morning…in which I queried:
“Doesn’t all this bring you back to the days of Camelot and Jackie Kennedy’s White House affairs featuring the like of Pablo Casals and all those other lovely, cultural events??”
These utterly classless and crass people are a complete joke on the Democratic Party. Then again, the entire party has become a joke at this point if they can’t see what a disaster this jerk and his friends are.
A complete disgrace as well…
Here’s an idea, why don’t we have a real National Democratic Convention in Denver, elect Hillary as the nominee and let Obama and his ilk go out to the stadium, where they can tell their sexist jokes and listen to their raucous bands. The fans (uh UHHBama Delegates)can demonstrate their adoration for the exalted leader. He can bask in the adoration of the crowd, walk around, wave, and lap up the loud applause. In the morning he can wake up and see that he is not wanted by most people, as either the Democratic nominee, or as the President of the United States. Maybe he can just go on having his rallies and inspirational meet-ups and let us get on with the serious business of running this country.
You’re so right. We not only need a leader who can start on day one, the way things are going we need someone who can start yesterday. Obama is not a leader, he’s an egomaniac.
Is this what the taxpayers are paying for? A civil servant supposed to be working for the betterment of the country, instead he is doing a non-stop fund-raising for his own glory?
Barack Obama is not fitted to be the POTUS.He is DOUBLE STANDARD SNOB!Always making poor judgements and give many lame excuses.
He’ll do anything to be in the White House.WAKE-UP PEOPLE!!!
If you love America, give her the BEST!! Hillary ‘08!
Obama is going to have to buy another bus. It’s getting crowded down there.
Actually, the bus is now a huge semi. Next week we’ll be looking a him getting a train.
Barack and Ho Obama. Seems fair. If I’m a Ho shes a bigger Ho.
From here on in, I will refer to the former michelle as Ho Obama.
“Barry!!!! Tell them it’s First Lady Ho Obama!!!”
The Pimp of the United States and his Ho!
Not to be confused with the jolly gent at Christmas who apparently likes a lot of HO HO HO`S.
lol…HARP
I agree whole heatedly…fair is fair from here on out…if it is fine for a black comedian to say it then I am a white comedian…Ho Obama and her hubby Barack Hussein Obama…I am so sick of this sh!t…for years black comedians have made filthy jokes about white people….I always just changed the channel if it comes on my tv…disgusting…have you noticed this is all Obama and his HO attract…
oh but it isn’t racist if a black person does it…to hell with that sh!t from now on…I am done now.
30yr allow me to offer up the ultimate contradiction.
Mr. Clayton Bigsby.
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/291638/clayton_bigsby/
Racism knows no bounds.
Reminds me of the comment Reverand Wright made at the Dallas church on the Sunday before the infamous National Press Club expose in April 2008, where he discussed how incredible it would be having the Obamas living in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, as it would be the first time a black woman would be sleeping in the White House, legally.
Appalling. Simply appalling.
How about HOBAMA (rhymes with NOBAMA)
Obama’s ho and babies’ Mama.
(Permission to use “baby mama” given by Mechelle when she introduced herself as such to more than two crowds.)
Don’t forget to add the flip floppin’ universal disclaimer: “Just messin with ya!”
As I said above: “fight fire with fire.”
It’s the only way to stop such things. People understand that.
“The First ‘Ho…”
I WISH this story would have the legs it deserves, but we’ve see too many times the messiah getting free passes, (he prints them himself you know) for me to believe this will be any different.
Because it didn’t come out of HIS mouth he and the in the tank media will deflect it on to someone else and move on.
Yes. The media is still promoting Obama. But why then the sudden drop in Obama’s poll numbers?
I had to laugh when one of Obama’s spokesmen chalked it up to recent stories showing Mr. Wonderful tromping around the US with Hillary. It could have nothing to do with FISA votes or the rejection of public campaign finance, or reversing himself on gun control, or any of his other flip flops. LOL. Yup. It is Hillery’s fault.
Oh, yes. And the person whom they quoted as backing off the candidate because of his flip flops? Well, they called her a “radical,” and quickly went on to point out that all thinking progressives are sticking with their guy. I mean, Mr. Wonderful couldn’t buy that kind of advertising.
Please, could someone tell me why they believe his primary position were his real beliefs and today’s statements are the
pander? How the whale are we supposed to know?
Of course, with me, it doesn’t matter. His Bots put me out of his corner ages ago.
Dont you all get it? The whole Obama campaign is a big put-on? Come on, a vacuous empty suit like him running for President? The guy can’t string 2 words together unless they’re written on a teleprompter; he puts his foot in his mouth so ofter, he’s gonna start buying shoes from Smuckers. This guy is such a phoney baloney transparent fraud, the whole thing has got to be a gag! What do you wanna bet that just as he’s about to be nominated, somebody will pop out from behind a curtain and yell, “Gotcha! Smile, you’re all on Candid Camera!” Because, this is all just too ridiculous to believe otherwise….
But It`s so easy for him…open mouth..insert foot.
Yeah I wish we’d just been punk’d…sadly it’s real and now we are dealing with a bunch of punks.
SCANDALOUS! you can tell how important this story is by the way everyone’s laughing it off. the only ones even taking it seriously are the PUMA fanatics like yourself.
Your mom’s a whore.
She’s a fifty cent Ho. That’s how she got you.
Isn’t that hysterical?
What like two for one?
She got him from a gang bang. The price is closer to less than a penny.
Off topic, but funny as hell:
Bush Homeland Security Aide Caught On Tape Offering High-Level Access For Donations To Bush Library:
Worst. President. Ever.
And, now we got Obama. F*ck.
Um, it would help if you recognize satire.
And your mom’s a whore.
Yes firedog is satire. But the Sun Times didn’t find it so funny.
I hear your mother is a Ho. ANd your sister too.
Isn’t that a riot?
You and Barky both have whores for Mothers.
Stanley Anne was a Whore’s Whore. She was an International Whore while still in her teens.
Your Ma…just a whore
The Obama Campaign aka: HOs ‘R’US!
That should be: Ho’s ‘iz’ Us!
Sorry, guys, this isn’t going to stop his presidential campaign. If Rev. Wright couldn’t do it, this certainly won’t.
ROCKED BY SCANDAL at this point would be Obama caught in the backseat of a limo giving G.W. a B.J.
But this? No. Sorry.
I agree with you on that’
However I believe that Obama and the New Democrats are experiencing a
Death by a thousand cuts
Well, that’s what people here said five months ago. And then four months ago. And three months ago. And then two months ago. And then a month ago.
And yet Obama is still here and he is still our nominee and he still will be our next President.
Silly Ho.
It’s “Presumptive Nominee”.
Presumptive Selectee.
Presumptuous Selectee, you Ho!
Obama should be 20 points ahead.
Instead bots like you are desperate enough to come to this site on a Saturday night looking for converts.
We ain’t buying your Hopey Dopey,Smokey ,Jokey selection
These guys are definately 3rd string Seattle Moss, don’t you think?
omg….you are too funny!!!!
No - Obama won’t be President. We will see to that.
Wake up out of your coma.
Benjamin is an Obama-Ho.
Even that would be OK, because he’s Obama!
Drip Drip Drip!
Look, Baracky is a hypocrite, what else is new?
Any individual which benefits him and advances his career has a free pass on bad behavior of any kind - sexism, racism, anti-semitism, terrorism, etc. (All others do not, especially when criticizing them benefits Barack.)
Until he gets called on it he will not dissociate himself from that person.
Barack’s sexism is tangential; his central, defining trait is amoral narcissism.
Twenty years at Trinity will do that.
As will a trauma to a young child, such as his parents abandoning him.
Yep, even his parents were flip floppers.
Can you blame his parents, I would leave too. They could see what he would become. Ayers, Rezko, Sinclair, Dohrn, Levine and gay sex parties, Chicago pay-to-play, Board Games, FISA, Wright, Pfleger, Khalidi, Moss, Drugs, etc, etc, etc, etc,… .
One look and they said: Hope he doesn’t find us if we change our names.
First and foremost he is one of the boys…I feel very, very sorry for his daughters and for all of us if we allow this arrogant, contemptuous, boy-man to Chicago his way into the White House. Leader of the free world. Now that is a truly scary thought.

Balloon Juice’s mother is a Ho.
Isn’t that fun???
Yeah, the Firedoglake post was clearly satire. And even funnier is the fact that it was satire making fun of sites like this one!
Your mother is a Ho.
Noah is an Obama-Ho working for Ho-bama’s campaign.
Wow, you people are fucking idiots.
Maybe next, Barky can pick his nose in public and you can eat it for him. You Obama excusers are just as revolting as he is.
I’m not excusing anybody. I’m making fun of you for not realizing that the Firedoglake piece was satire.
I recognized it as satire. Do you recognize this as satire?
http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/07/at_chicago_fundraiser_for_obam.html
The moment I knew the No Quarter piece was satire:
Noah, you missed the Ark. Use your $7 to go buy a sense of humor, sonny!
ROFLMAO!!!!
We can please only one person per day. Today is not your day.
his mother pleases lots of guys in one day. SHe’s a Ho. Isn’t that funny?
LMAO!!!
bobo your mother’s a Ho.
Aren’t you laughing?
You still with me bobo? I said your mother’s a Ho.
awww…you’re just messin with him
It’s crying in the basement, because his mother took $50,000 from the mailman and ran away. How will Bobo pay the cable bill? Oh, the humanity!
Bobo what’s wrong? Did yo Ho Mo not let you suck nuff?
Bobo’s Ho Mo had to save her Boobies for work.
And such explains Bobo’s strange attraction and identification to the son of Uber-whore, Stanley Anne.
I think what’s really depressing is that people treat this as satire. So called “progressive” people are mocking the sexism and misogyny and those who would speak out about it. Don’t bother your pretty heads about being called effin whores by Randi Rhodes or Ho’s by Bernie Mac. Obambi’s going to lower sea levels, end the war, and create cosmic change, so y’all just have to tolerate the abuse for the greater good.
I don’t think so.
The “followers” just don’t get it.
Check for pupil dialation.
I won’t let my young daughter (12yrs) listen to the hip hop/rap stations. And she says, “but mommy, I don’t listen to the words, I can hardly understand them, I like the music”. But I still won’t let her. I tell her it’s degrating and insulting to women and I don’t want her to listen to any of it. It may be subtle, “funny” or maybe subliminal…I just don’t want my daughter to hear that message. This “comedy” show, more of same with women in the audience laughing along so as not to appear uncool.
Obama worship isn’t about politics, progressive or otherwise.
Politics in the sense of policy, political philosophy, etc.
He could turn full-on neo-con tomorrow, and his “progressive supporters” wouldn’t blink an eye.
It’s about vicarious empowerment.
He is their diva.
He already has turned Neo-con
and about dropping the bar to the floor as far as I’m concerned. WHat. An. Embarrassment this candidacy is turning out to be. Rap. Calling women Ho’s. Talking Pimp Talk, Giving fingers, slapping Ho’s on the ass.
My God, how low can this party sink?
Really, the only thing left for Barack and Ho Obama to do now is fart, belch and pick their noses on national television. That should round out their image.
Pimped the kids on the TV interview as well. Hmm…the older one believes that People mag is REAL IMPORTANT. Ivy League…here they come!
They both already did the nose picking. Very genteel.
When he blew his nose at a rally he got a huge applause and cheer.
If that wasn’t your first clue that nothing will derail the true believers…
They could have a menage a trois with Rev Wright on Oxygen channel with Oprah filming.
Goodness Uppity Woman .. that is classy of you … oh .. never mind .. what was I thinking. I mistook you for a human being.
Sorry - all bets are off on this thread. It’s ok, though. Backtrack says it’s ok to call people Ho’s. So Rob, you’s a Ho!
Your mother’s a Ho, isn’t that a riot?
Let me tell you something: You reap what you sow. You treat people like trash and you are trash.
Your hoaxy candidate’s behaviors in public and your willingness to be just like him is an indicator of the trash you are and how your trash candidate and his followers would “rule” if he were elected. All the more reason to stop you in your tracks on November 4.
Don’t mistake me for human? I am not mistaken when I say that this candidacy and everything surround it is SUB HUMAN.
No go slap your wife’s ass in public.
But Firedog Lake at least showed some fear in the article’s title. If anything comes out of this, sexism should be unacceptable even from Obama and his thugs.
As someone on FireDog Lake posted - “How many times can the Hindenburg crash?”
Sorry I didn’t get the name, but whomever it is deserves full credit for the question!
How many times can Obama eff up before we are ALL sick of him?! The man is a walking disaster. Rasmussen has the race virtually tied today. Not a good spot for Barack Almighty to be in, is it?
Obama is so yesterday…yawn.
PUMA!!!
Firedog may also be trying to distract, from what I don’t know. Halperin’s PDF just came thru so I’m gonna be off awhile.
Yeah, I’m afraid that this is going no where. One News cycle and done.
http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/07/at_chicago_fundraiser_for_obam.html
Pathetic. What part of Commander in Chief and president dont people understand? They are held to a HIGHER STANDARD despite if the words never crossed obama’s lips it does not change the fact he is responsible. If it was me, I would asked about the routine to insure nothing would offend anyone.
But if people have lowered the standard for Senator Obama and gave him his own set of rules to follow by, it does not represent change. If this was a mccain event you obama supporters would be screaming and bursting into flames all over the place foaming at the mouth like rabid dogs for Senator Mccain to concede.
And dont put that shit on being “acceptable” in the black community because its bullshit. What it does show is bad judgement
Bang on. I don`t think he would find the right door to enter on Marine One, let alone know how to salute.
Yea. We all know Obama doesn’t know this stuff. Thanks for reminding us.
What do you expect from a pimp and his ho?
Isn’t that FUNNNNNYYYYY???
I have to ask. If Sen Clinton had won the nomination would you be acting this unhinged towards Sen McCain? Of course you wouldn’t because you folks aren’t Democrats. You are members of a cult of personality or Republicans.. not sure which yet.
No, we’d be too busy partying. Compared to Hillary, McCain’s a joke. She could’ve coasted into the White House. But now it’s 4 more years thanks to you Rob.
Compared to anyone, BoBo’s a really bad joke.
“Of course you wouldn’t because you folks aren’t Democrats.”
Thanks for the compliment!!
Best candidate for President now:
1st: Hillary Clinton
2nd: John McCain
LAST: Barack Obama
Which part of this equation don’t you understand?
Copy that!
Thank you Soldier4Hillary. I agree. I wish Hillary would get the nomination and this clown faded far, far away.
To paraphrase an old military joke, Obama has lowered the bar so far that he’s doing pullups on a staple.
Or, did Bush lower the bar and after having Bush as a role model the younger generation expects no different so we end up with Obama?
This is just another example of why he isn’t fit to be president. If he doesn’t have the self-discipline to maintain the dignity of the office, then we might as well flush the last of civility and decency down the toilet.
Sorry, I had to leave the computer for a minute…
To answer 30 yr. dem. (and others)
Mary Ellen,
So you think we should just except it because a black man said it…we should just expect this kind of thing from black comedians?…Sorry I don’t and never have…I have always thought it was wrong for any race to make vulgar jokes about another..
It is time for change….yes there is an audience for this kind of crap…but should there be?
No, I didn’t say that we shoudl accept what Bernie Mac said. Listen, when a candidate has a fundraiser and they hire a comedian to warm up the crowd, they can’t be held responsible for everything the comedian says. Obama certainly wasn’t going to go on stage and chastise Bernie in front of the crowd, that wouldn’t be too smart. I’m sure that his campaign manager or he will ask Mac to tone it down next time, or he won’t ask for his help again.
I’m not defending what was said and I’m not defending Bernie Mac. I’m saying that Obama, as much as I dislike him, isn’t going to take a hit on this. We can yell and scream and stomp our feet at every little thing, but that won’t get any attention. We need to aim at the big things, the votes he casts, his flip flops, stuff like that. The Bernie Mac thing is just a lot of white noise (not in the racial sense)…you know what I mean.
Mary Ellen I’m with you on that but how can we collaborate our efforts. I have lots of research printed out on BHO but I’m in a U-town and its of little use hear as the koolaid runs deep.
Is there a nuetral site to excgange emails? I don’t want put it it here as the trolls will be all over me.
And it would require real leadership, that Obama have a moral center.
Mary,
Obama keeps bringing out entertainment like this…remember Rhodes..Obama surly knows the kind of crap Mac spews….why risk it?…didn’t sound like the people enjoyed it…the man telling him it wasn’t funny…
Shut up, Whore!
Mary Ellen,
I agree with everything you said except one thing: I do think candidates should be held responsible for what is said by a comedian that was asked to be part of a fundraiser. It’s called organization, judgment and responsibility. If Mac didn’t want to be censored or held to a ‘standard’ find someone else. The ‘ho’ jokes belong in a nightclub. I don’t care what happens there. The level of comedy will take care of itself by the numbers of people who patronize these comedians. I wouldn’t give Bernie Mac a dime. Nor would he be a part of my fundraiser.
But you’re right on about everything else.
OMG! The banality of it all! CNN has a “hard-hittig”peice using 12 year olds for politcal commentary. I do not let 12yo’s run my finances, my biz or even a freakin power-tools for that matter. What are people thinking when they listen to CHILDREN regarding the running of the nation.
If this f**king silliness does’nt stop soon, we are sooooo screwed!
I bet they turn in their Hillary loving parents.
I don’t think we’ve got much to worry about.
If team obama takes the white house they’ll slam those big doors firmly shut - right in the faces of the credulous fools who voted them into office.
Occasionally they’ll whistle in the suckers for an Albert Speer spectacle.
Business as usual.
soldier4Hillary-
If it was me, I would asked about the routine to insure nothing would offend anyone.
But if people have lowered the standard for Senator Obama and gave him his own set of rules to follow by, it does not represent change.
Now, when was the last time you were in the midst of a Presidential campaign? There is no way in hell that you can read and approve of a routine or introduction by someone who is hosting a fundraiser or a rally. Most of the time the candidates arrive at the last minute because they are coming from another event.
I’m not an OBama supporter, btw. I’m just trying to look at this realistically. If we continue to jump on this kind of stuff, we are going to be considered a bunch of hysterical idiots who are looking for any small item to pin on Obama. There’s plenty of real stuff out there…this is just peanuts and not worth the publicity, IMO.
There’s plenty of real stuff out there….
I agree. The American public does not get the real stuff. They know Bush is an idiot, Gore says he created the internet, Kerry is a flip floppin wind surfer and Obama will change the world.
But there is a larger audience.
Women are half the population of the world. American women are lucky they can talk back to Bernie Mac.
Women around the world look for us to stand up to this bullshit and trust me they don’t consider us hysterical idiots.
Beg to disagree mary ellen. The second law of thermodynamics: order to chaos. A crack appears and pressure increases and it grows larger. It grows larger at a faster pace. Every single gaff changes the perception a little more.
You already are…
Beats being a sucker, sucker.
Mary Ellen, how would you descibe yourself: fence-sitter or mole?
You have expended an awful lot of energy in effect defending Obama.
PUMA and justsaynodeal are ‘real enough’. Ten million plus smacker makes it so. They are on the defensive and have no where to go (since BO’s manages to offend his own base and has no plans to woo Hillary’s supporters.
Is it in your DNA to always be the insufferable diplomat.
Oh get off it, Deep Truths. Mary Ellen was expressing an opinion. And I agree with her. And I don’t support Obama by no way shape or form.
Women have been stomping their hysterical little feet about male-speak and its misogynistic tones from time immemorial. And where has that gotten us? That we are here having this discussion proves how much good it’s done. We have to thank our lucky stars that in at least in the workplace this stuff can be restricted. But everything else falls under Freedom of Speech.
That’s why the remarks above from the women using the word ‘ho’ make sense to me. It’s the only way to fight this. People who name call generally don’t like being called names. Call Michelle Obama a ho enough times and believe me that will get traction.
It really the way the Imus situation should have been handled. Imus apparently doesn’t look in the mirror. He’s a half-a-second off of looking like the ‘Crypt Keeper.’ He should not call anyone any kind of name with regard to appearance. Rush Limbaugh should be given the same treatment. Fatso who probably hasn’t seen his dick in many decades.
So if the Obamas want the ho word restricted from being attributed to Michelle and his daughters, then they have to stand-up publicly and repudiate it. If they don’t, then expect more of the same leveled at them. The same with Bernie Mac. I won’t do it here, but I could level a slew of obscene things at Mac that would change his tune. For now, I’ll simply call him an idiot in public and leave it at that. I cannot fathom how anyone with half a brain would have thought that joke was acceptable in a fundraising venue for POTUS. Obama’s handlers should be horsewhipped for not vetting Mac’s material. Hasn’t the Democratic Party learned anything from the Whoopi Goldberg fiasco back in ’04 at a John Kerry fundraiser?
And while we are on the subject, comedy has descended into an abyss in recent years. Somehow entertainers now believe if it’s a joke then it automatically gets a pass. I’m sure tomorrow on The View, Joy Behar will be defending Bernie Mac. These people want anything that comes out of their mouths to be treated as acceptable because they say it’s a joke. When in reality they are nothing more than not very smart people without manners and common sense who learned at an early age that a cheap shot could get them a laugh. Now all they want to do is cheap shot their way through life get paid and be celebrated for it. Fuck these no talented people!
Bawdy humor belongs in nightclubs, bars and private social situations where adults can handle it the way they choose. Get up, ask for your money back from management, or tell someone to their face that something they said was offensive. If you are at a social or business event where formal rules of behavior apply then be smart enough to tailor your material for the audience. The proof was that the audience bristled when Mac told the joke as well they should. Frankly, they should have booed, hissed and embarrassed him for being so stupid. But that’s what happens when people are so star struck. Celebrities get way too special treatment when in reality they are no different than the rest of us.
We need to STOP WORSHIPPING these people. Many are not worth the time of day and more than meets the eye with regard to how these people get to be famous in the first place.
But more importantly, even if you are a Hillary supporter and despise Obama, you are entitled to voice an opinion and not be labeled a troll for goodness sakes.
My point is that this isn’t about the joke itself, but Ho-bama’s sycophantic ‘I’m just messing with you man’ rejoinder. Ho-bama wasn’t the least bit interested that it offended women, but to be on the wrong side of the brother Bernie Mac, then he’s uncomfortable.
Ho-bama is making me want to spit every time I see him.
People who supposedly are against misogyny should learn from the supersensitive ‘everybody’s a racist’ reflexive reaction that Ho-bama and his minions have achieved. Perhaps things regarding dissing women because they’re women will also reach a level of hypersensitivity.
In the meantime, jumping in the middle of a genuine firefight against the Ho-bama monster is a waste of time, let alone a waste of conciousness. Ho-bama deserves neither.
good grief he’s a comedian, Chris Rock did the same thing in Harlem, and no one cared then either. seriously, this is hardly worth the effort. you’d hear the same thing on any other comedy network. grow a sense of humor.
someone cares… there is a u tube about it
All joking aside…..this IS important. It IS misogyny…ask yourself, if things had gone the way that they should have (sans cheating and thuggery) and Hillary was onstage as our nominee at that fundraiser…do you think this would have happened? I don’t. THAT’S one big reason why we needed Hillary as prez. If not now, when? If not Hillary, who?
Do you think that if Hillary had been the nominee, misogynists would have disappeared ?
Well, let me put it to you this way. Our nominee is a black man and as far as I can see, racists have not disappeared.
Again.
Silly ho.
It’s “Presumptive Nominee”.
Well, I didn’t see any racists on stage with Obama making racist jokes.
Thank you imustprotest.
You will agree, Benjamin, if a knowledgeable, qualified Black man became president, it would discourage racism and break some barriers? If Hillary wins, there will be a change. Women will see themselves in a different light and will be less likely to accept the sexist treatment. Problem is Obama is unqualified and the mess he is creating, will discourage future qualified candidates.
Or the uproar from the press had it occured at a McCain Fundy.
This wasn’t something on a comedy network, it was a political fundraiser.
Josie
Why don’t you grow a brain or is that possible for a sun-scarred squash like yourself? VEGETABLE!
From Josie:
grow a sense of humor.
Grow some pride woman. If we don’t stand up to sexism and misogyny now, when will we?
You are missing the whole fucking point. Its not what Bernie Mac said, its Obama equivocating “I’m just messing with you” sycophantic answer.
GET A GRIP.
“good grief he’s a comedian, Chris Rock did the same thing in Harlem, and no one cared then either. seriously, this is hardly worth the effort. you’d hear the same thing on any other comedy network. grow a sense of humor.”
As long as what comedians say is offensive to “just women,” they’re “just” jokes, right?
I wonder if your dumb ass thought that Michael Richards was “just joking” almost two years ago when he used the “N” word and made lynching jokes during his stand-up routine.
Maybe he won’t take an immediate hit, but this is certainly one of those little pieces of information that I will be taking with me in the voting booth, along with all the others.
People tend to remember the negatives over time. Obama is conditioning voters with his repeated offenses to believe that he isn’t POTUS material or trustworthy. The consequence of all his gaffes and associations may just very well catch up to him on election day - IF he makes it that far. God, maybe the lightbulb will go on at the convention!!
If the DNC really wanted to show they were connected to reality, they would be making every effort to back away from Obama. First item of business: Get rid of Donna Brazile!
Is that racist or just the truth?
:PUMA!!!

Chinese Government is Top Foreign Holder of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac Bonds
$376 Billion in Chinese Agency Bond Holdings Subject to Taxpayer Bailout Proposals According to FreedomWorks Analysts
Last update: 11:08 a.m. EDT July 11, 2008

WASHINGTON, Jul 11, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) — As politicians call for taxpayer bailouts and a government takeover of troubled mortgage lenders Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, FreedomWorks would like to point out that a bailout is a transfer of possibly hundreds of billions of U.S. tax dollars to sophisticated investors and governments overseas.
The top five foreign holders of Freddie and Fannie long-term debt are China, Japan, the Cayman Islands, Luxembourg, and Belgium. In total foreign investors hold over $1.3 trillion in these agency bonds, according to the U.S. Treasury’s most recent “Report on Foreign Portfolio Holdings of U.S. Securities.”
FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe commented, “The prospectus for every GSE bond clearly states that it is not backed by the United States government. That’s why investors holding agency bonds already receive a significant risk premium over Treasuries.”
“A bailout at this stage would be the worst possible outcome for American taxpayers and mortgage holders, who have been paying a risk premium to these foreign investors. It would change the rules of the game retroactively and would directly subsidize the risks taken by sophisticated foreign investors.”
“A bailout of GSE bondholders would be perhaps the greatest taxpayer rip-off in American history. It is bad economics and you can be sure it is terrible politics.”
yes..I know…we had the biggest bank failure in or history on Friday..
Actually, the second largest, the largest since 1984:
1984 collapse was started by the failure of Penn Square Bank
OK they were saying on Friday it was the biggest.
And don’t think that are not more to follow. We cannot let BHO bail all these guys out like Dodd just did. Look at his money trail, BIGTIME wall street.
Well, it points back to bad judgement and a lact of diplomatic tact on Obama’s part.
And he’s a flip flopper!
Uppity, you’re on a roll tonite.
Give ‘em hell.
Uppity ROCKS more than Ho Obama!!!!
Archimedes-
Mary Ellen I’m with you on that but how can we collaborate our efforts. I have lots of research printed out on BHO but I’m in a U-town and its of little use hear as the koolaid runs deep.
Is there a nuetral site to excgange emails? I don’t want put it it here as the trolls will be all over me.
You can go to my blog, BAD HABIT, and if you leave a comment there, I can pick up your e-mail address from my dashboard and I can contact you.
OK, I left my email there, I LOVE THE PIC AT THE TOP! Freaking hilarious!
and then they will remember the last 8 years under Bush. whether you like it or not, the alternative is far worse.
I disagree. I haven’t seen or heard anything in this campaign that would validate your claim that John McCain would be worse than Bambam. Unless I’m supposed to “hope” he’d be better, cuz he says so. Yeah right.
He would nominate judges that would overturn Roe vs Wade.
He would keep our troops in Iraq indefinitely.
He would bloat the deficit to several hundred more millions to give MORE tax cuts to the wealthiests.
He would privatize Social Security and would not do anything in regards to health care but to propose the same non-starter ideas that Bush offered which were “personal health accounts” (as if saving is what poor people who can’t afford health care have a problem with).
He would keep the same Republicans that have run our country into the ground for the past eight years in power in the administration.
That’s five reasons.
Links to proof please.
Where do you learn this nonsense?
Someone check for pupil dialation.
Yawn.
Contrary to what bush would have you believe, presidents don’t get to do whatever they feel like. That’s why the government was set up with three distinct divisions.
Good.
Then hopefully Congress will keep an eye out for president Obama in case he does something stupid. No need to worry !
In CASE…HAHAHA!
Obama won’t get the Presidency in November.
So I’m definitely not worried.
How do I know that Barack wouldn’t do the same? He’s a flip flopper. Words, just words….then I do the opposite, blame others and make another speech..words just words benji.
“and then they will remember the last 8 years under Bush. whether you like it or not, the alternative is far worse.”
Thank goodness this bullshit argument is dying quickly among the mainstream.
In just months flat, the Democrat “brand” has fallen as low as the Republican “brand.”
Obamabots have failed miserably at trying to paint John McCain as the second coming of Bush. Especially since Obama has quickly converted himself into a Democrat “Bush” - flip-flopping on his key primary campaign promises, his justification of those flops, and his great arrogance.
The Democratic party is self-destructing - right along with Obama.
I am so discouraged by the unfavorable news not hurting Obama it seems as though He Gaffes on purpose to get free press and then uses the gaffe on his opponents to his favor.He always seems to come out unscathed by the awful things he does.
Mr. Teflon.
After awhile, Teflon chips, and stuff starts to stick.
NO DEAL. NO WAY. NEVER. NOBAMA. GO PUMA!
And if enough heat is applied to teflon, it vaporises.
the event’s like water:
drip, drip, drip
every little bit knocks more of the shine off and we got a long ways to go until November
“I am so discouraged by the unfavorable news not hurting Obama…”
It is hurting Obama.
But the mainstream media will not report the serious damage to Obama’s campaign.
In my opinion, there are at least two big reason for this:
a.) the MSM wants John McCain for the Presidency and doesn’t want to try to turn public opinion against Obama until the strongest candidate - Hillary Clinton - is officially out of the race in late August, or
b.) the MSM wants Obama for the Presidency and doesn’t want to try to turn public opinion against him - period.
Either way, the MSM are useless assholes. Because in spite of their unprofessionalism, the word is getting out about Obama through the most powerful & effective form of spreading information - word of mouth.
In the end, it’s the people’s responsibility to spread the word about corrupt politicians. Because the MSM’s not going to do it.
“I’m not an OBama supporter, btw. I’m just trying to look at this realistically. If we continue to jump on this kind of stuff, we are going to be considered a bunch of hysterical idiots who are looking for any small item to pin on Obama.”
kudos
Problem is this. There are plenty of reasons for people to have preferred Hillary over Obama.
But any Democrat who is still arguing against Obama now has only this kind of idiotic details to rely on to justify their hatred.
And so I guarantee you the stupidity will continue.
You don`t visit here much,do you?
The stupidity does continue, it’s name is Barack H. Obama.
Unfortunately I do and I have to say I have yet to hear a good non-made-up reason to hate Obama.
As I said, I can completely understand people who are not particularly impressed by him, even annoyed. But the level of vitriol here is quite ununderstandable. People here have worked themselves up to such a frenzy that they have lost touch with common sense, reality and, more sadly, any sense of proportionality.
This post is a good example of it.

Hum … whats your point ? In 2004, he said we should be cautious about withdrawal ? HORRIBLE ! SHAME ON HIM !
Obama is a flip flopper.
Benjamin:
Yeah, who gives a damn about his failure to defend the Constitution.
It’s just a fucking piece of paper.
“People here have worked themselves up to such a frenzy that they have lost touch with common sense, reality and, more sadly, any sense of proportionality.”
Gee - why wern’t you saying this to your fellow scummy Obamabots at Daily Kos, Huffington Post, and all of the other anti-Hillary blogs, forums and websites all during the primaries as they ran down (and CONTINUE to run down) Hillary and her supporters?? They really needed to hear it!!!
Only NOW is it hitting your dumbasses that you WON’T win in November without Hillary votes & money.
So here your scummy asses suddenly come. Trying to chastize and preach to Hillary supporters about “unity” and condescendingly threatening us to “fall in line” behind Obama or we will have a 100-year war, Roe vs. Wade overturned, and the ant people will take over the world.
You Obamabots have lost your damned minds. And all of your common sense.
“And so I guarantee you the stupidity will continue”
Yeah - each time you silly Obamabots keep typing here.
You’re right. It’s small. That’s why they won’t mind if I refer to them as Pimp and Ho Obama.
Once again I will make the point that if Obama steals the election somehow, then it’s open season on women’s rights. The thugs and sexist’s will view themselves as victors and will believe that they have a mandate to reinforce their sexist views.
Women will be under siege and all women will feel like the women in rap lyrics.
Very dangerous!
There will be a lot of men killed in their sleep then.
Maybe they might just sign Jessie’s law.
It will only applicable to white balls
I agree with you Seattle that we have to stand up and voice our objections to this misogyny and all of the sexism and misogyny of the Obama campaign. I believe that is what we are trying to do tonight. The trouble is we willcontinue to face the ridicule and insults like the obamabullies tried to heap on us tonight. But we will persevere and we will prevail!
PUMA
Hillary 08
After seeing Obama’s response to Imus (flip), and reading Obama’s response to Bernie Mac (flop), I don’t think we have heard the end of this. Sometimes it takes a day or two of buzz on the internets before it hits the MSM.
It’s one more flip-flop by Obama, and the MSM has been covering his flip-flops lately.
I hope they get around to HO $600 earrings..
John McBush,
You are really running out of air on that one!
When McCain and Obama are tied today in the Rasmussen Reports, it looks as if Obama isn’t the sacred answer anymore.
So. It’s time to retire the old McSame routine. In fact, don’t waste your time here as I’m sure you’re needed to whine and complain over at the HuffyPuffy Report where you can rub Arianna’s feet and be a slave to the kool-aid!
Has anyone heard about the rehabs gearing up for kool-aid addiction therapy?
PUMA!!!
Obama weathered Wright. But Bernie Mac’s inappropriate jokes will surely sink his candidacy….
right.
Glad you agree…what a nice little bambambot.
“But Bernie Mac’s inappropriate jokes will surely sink his candidacy…”
The majority of American VOTERS will do that. In November.
u guys are a bunch of fucking idiots…
I take it in the ass so stop by and see me.

And I am sure all at Pampers HQ are envious of your packing ability, but no one here wants to see anything like that.
why don’t u guys go blow mark penn’s fat ass and give him some of that puma poon
Such an eloquent writer! Bravo!
Reggie, after school, you walked in on your Ma the Ho of Da Hood “blow{ing} fat ass and giv[ing] some poon”…
How many times? Oh, it’s still going on..
I think all puma people should hold their breath until this story catches fire.
lol you first!
lol your mother’s a Ho. Fifty cents! That’s how she got you. Isn’t that a riot?
That’s Fiddy Cent
I am a dyed in the wool HRC supporter and will not vote for either Obama or Mccain. The Bernie Mac story the end of the Obama presidential bid? I wish it were that simple. This will be a mere ripple in the annals of reporting.It is far from the worst we have heard from the senator. So please dont get too excited.
Don’t worry Tessa, I’m not getting excited. I just want to remind everyone that this is just one more example that: Obama is a flip flopper, and I’m not messin’ with ya.
I like Mcain’s sense of humor better
“bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb iran”
“maybe that’s (American Cigarettes in Iran) a way we can kill them”
“At least I don’t cake on make-up like a trollop you cunt!”
The subject is Ho, not cunt.
You get an “F”.
LOL McCain will have to say that word a couple of hundred more times to match up with you Obama pigs’ posts to us. Want samples? Here they are. After you read them, go slam your pencil dick in a door. Mmmmkay?
Or how about this?
Or maybe…
Now go Fuck Yourself, Pig.
McCain would have to say the c word every 15 seconds for the next ten years to get even close to the abuse we have to listen to from these assholes.
So McCain had a real moment with his wife
Big Deal!!
Don’t you love all this faux concern these bots have for Mrs. McCain. And then sometimes even in the same post they call us c@@#s and h@s. I guess they’re flip floppers like their leader.
The 1st 2 he owns thats true, the last is horse-shit.
I wonder how many clutching of breasts, beating of foreheads and gnashing of teeth will be done when obama wins you deluded fuckin cultists…wow obama sunk by bernie mac!!! If a minister yelling goddamn america on tape cant sink a fucking king of comedy will? put down the Hill aid (or is it bill aid from his secret love fountain ur sippin on?)
I want to suck Obama’s dick so bad!
“I wonder how many clutching of breasts, beating of foreheads and gnashing of teeth will be done when obama wins”
There won’t be any of that. Because John McCain will become the 44th President of the United States (unless the Dems come out of their Kool-Aid induced comas in August and vote for Hillary.)
“I want to suck Obama’s dick so bad!”
We know you do, you stupid Obama dick-riding scum.
I hope you get off of Hillary oversized clit also
Me? I would rather have Barack’s pencil dick.
eres un puerco
viejo atascado
To match your undersized dick?
wow another one how admits he’s hot for bo pencil dick. I can tell you from experience that he doesn’t have the right build to have a big one.
But - did you see the size of Ho Obama’s feet?
Tiny clits are lame, it’s nicer to have easy to find and play with. But you would’nt know anything about it.
I am a virgin, execpt for all the men I could not feel.
Good to hear someone wants the underhung Barky.
His Ho sure doesn’t.
The First Whore turned to Donkey Brazille to father her kids.
why don’t u guys donate to the free larry fund? I’m sure his fat ass could appreciate a few bucks to free him from the diabolical biden/obama legal conspiracy!!!
Reggie, they will blame Obama for your sexism. They will be outraged…OUTRAGED!! that he didn’t sign in to this thread to denounce you.
HRC woulda been the nominee if it wasn’t for those meddling kids!! and caucus states, and uppity negros and all the non hard working white people lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went to Google for this story
Results 1 - 10 of about 18,600 for Bernie Mac makes off-color joke at Obama event.
seems to be catching on…
18k aint much, I google my exGF she comes up 39k.
Incredible how Bambi can make time for fundraisers wirth the likes of such sexist pig friends giving introductions, and yet Bambi cannot make the time to hold a single hearing on the commitee he chairs oversighting NATO, while the Taliban grow in forces as predicted in Afganistan.
Is it because women now have rights in Afganistan that Obama refuses to do anything to secure the forces fighting there?
Obama is a piece of selfish shit politician and a joke of anyone who supports him!
He is not a useless black man, he is a useless excuse of a human being!
oh my sexism so terrible…please reject and denounce my comments barack!!! throw me under the bus please!!!
But first let me blow you!
With what? Your Ma the Ho’s BJ technique?
Reggie, word, in the truck stop parking lot, is that your Mother is all teeth…
But she is great at anal..
Reggie’s mom is a discount ho down at the bus station.
lol just bein funny!
Reggie does not have a mother. He’s Rosemary’s Baby.
Around the world for a quarter. reggie’s mom daily rate.
She also works the dumpster at Mickey D.’s Friday nights.
Oh my, the trolls are out to impress each other.
Trouble is, they are already behind on the latest.
Obama is so yesterday and they’re still drinking the kool-aid! Poor little Obots!
incredible how much of a retard u are
What’s it like to live in the basement of a Whore?
Obama is for securing Afghanistan, prioritizing it above Iraq, so try again.
actions speak louder than words especially Obama’s, you forget Fisa? so go smoke some more crack you jackass
Right, Obama is a flip flopper.
oh and fyi he’s the head of the senate subcommitee on european affairs dumbass do a google ya lartards!!!
I just want him so bad! You think he will let me swallow?
A committee that he has not called to meet. Why? Obama said he was too busy running for President.
Why even attempt to do the job you have when you can go for the next one?
YOU DORK
NATO is fighting in Afghanistan

If Michelle Obama is the presumed First Lady is this any way to refer to her? I didn’t like it when Hillary was referred to as a b*tch or a wh*re. Michelle Obama, like her or don’t, deserves the same respect.
Well apparently her husband, Mr. Obama doesn’t agree with you because when he had a chance to really denounce this kind of talk about women, he instead chose to give a wink, wink and nod and a “just messing with you” qualifier. Did I mention that Obama is a flip flopper?
the trolls are out to impress your mom
Your Mom Da Ho of Da Hood impresses with her load swallowing ability.
this story will not catch fire. you guys are grasping at straws and you have been ever since Hillary’s flip flop on FL and MI
Nope, haven’t you heard…Obama is a flip flopper.
and ur moms having my baby my obama babies now thats change she can believe in from ur impotent dad that is
MechelleHOObamaHO?
WTF!
I stepped away for a minute and the whole damn place went to the HO’s!
Now I think I will get out my Pink and green pimp daddy hat. The one with a purple and orange band around it.
My neon green suit with the bell bottom pants.
My Fire red Stack shoes, my white cane and oh I can’t forget my faux gold rings.
I’ll drive up in my 1976 Green Caddy with the Pipes coming out the sides.
You know the one….it has Tiger print seat covers.
Fake white fur dash and a diamond in the back.
put on some Isac Hayes…Shaft will do.
Can’t forget to bust out my fake gold and diamond encrusted cigarette holder.
Need to remember to put mt Obama stickers on the bumper and I am good to go!
How ya like me now? LMAO!
And Reggie?
I think Larry Sinclair is looking for you. Seems you have some unfinished biz with him!
You r styling red dragon, i like it :0>
Reggie has a big Wedgie.
You know when I first started reading this website I felt like I had found some kindred spirits & some very informed people to communicate with. However, after reading the comments on this topic tonight I feel like I have stumbled into some middle school MySpace rant. How old are you people? Don’t you know how to have a civilized discussion without resorting to this kind of nanny nanny boo boo crap?
Its troll time…
Can’t someone call a babysitter?
what? u guys no wanna defend ur holy mistress clinton from da mean obama people? I thought you would be down to defend her unbesmirched virtue in the face of these villainous troll assaults upon her feminine virtue? what’s wrong the kool aid ran out for u clinton whores?
I swallow. I want to swallow for Barack.
Stupidity does not qualify as a handicap, park elsewhere!
Listen kid, it’s late no matter what time zone you’re in. It’s time to go sleep off that beer.
3rd shift has arrived all!
These are the Nasty Bastards! I guess they are pissed they couldn’t get off the 3rd shift!
“Your Mama”!
“his Mama”!
“Who’s Mama”!
Geez, you would think these kids would at least have some better snaps than this..
have fun playing with the trolls..there mama will catch them up soon….later all..
I think larry has some unfinished business with yo face bitch!
I like it when Barack leaves it on my face too!
“There has been an alarming increase in the number of things you know nothing about.”
Only preteen boys post such stupid shit. Go to bed. NOW
…and don’t forget to take some money out of your dad’s wallet first!
not as pissed as ur wife when found out the cialis prescription was empty, now thats change she desperately needs!!!
I dont have to worry about that because I swallow for the boys so my limp pecker doesn’t matter.
Yoy know where you can find some other fun words? The dictionary. ooooo
For you Obama trolls that think things such as this is non issues, let me ask you this. If you stated what Bernie Mac did to four female coworkers if you were male, do you think you would remain on that job?
If your high school son or daughter came home from high school and stated there teacher made the same remark in the classroom Bernie Mac made, do you think the teacher would keep there job?
What if you were in church and you minister made the same remark Bernie Mac made, would it be inappropriate?
I could give a damn about this but what I do care about is the fact that the president is the highest job in our country and it is diverse with all people in all shapes and backgrounds. Presidents are held to higher standards.
soldier4hillary,
They don’t care about our country…I agree with everything you said here tonight..
have a good night…
Solder4Hillary, thank you for saying this so concisely and in such a pithy manner. I agree.
This is the Change we can believe in?
go smoke some more crack!! why dont u go smoke larry sinclairs ass crack!!
I love any guy’s ass crack.
Be nice…Have a chocolate.
http://obamaschocolatenuts.com/
You can’t GIVE those chocolates away HARP!
Hey reg’boy…. we can’t help inhaling the crack smoke…. Not the way you and the other trolls keep exhaling all over the place….
I have a secret…no quarter smokes rocks!!
Another secret…I’ll suck your rocks if you want.
Better to smoke rocks than be an Obama smoking Cocks
LOL
Obama’s pandering is not a product of Chicago Politics…. It’s from the Chicago weather. You know, If you don’t like it, stick around for an hour and it will change.
Change you can believe in! opps, uhh..I..uhh mean… I believe in change!..uhh..umm…I believe I will change…Can I change? Yes I can! You can believe I will change and I’ll probably mess with ya cuz I’m a uuhh..umm a flip flopper.
Holly:
These Trolls love to stop by and get us to see the error in our ways. By that I mean our refusal to support someone who has NO record of accomplishment either in the Illinois Senate or the US Senate. This is what Obama and his Trolls call UNITY and healing the Party!
If you scroll up and READ the beginning of this thread, you will se WHO instigated this exchange. Now I know we all say to each other that we should not feed the Animals, but sometimes you just have to respond to children in kind. That is the only way they understand you!
Is it right? No! But as I said…There are exceptions to the rule! And tonight it seems like one of those nights.
OK I`ve got my ammo. Do you feel lucky reggie…Well do ya punk?
Try to remember that the point of this blog is to support HRC. It does not reflect well on her for her loyal supporters to act like a bunch of idiots for all the world to read.
Because BO is black, he’s getting a pass from the MSM for this kind of behavior. But he won’t get one from the voters when they’re in the voting booths.
i guess i’ll let you clinton whores worship at the altars of delusion and denial the rest of the night. please pardon the intrusion of reality upon your branch davidian cult. night bitches!!!
Barack wants me to blow him now gotta run!
Poor child, are you struggling with your sexual identity?
This site a major outlet as a news source for all big bloggers, and VERY PRO OBAMA - Look at the third entry:
Obama losing momentum
lol, it must have killed them to have to post that headline!
oh yea and one more thhing…fuck larry johnson!!
I swallow for anybody. Give me a call.
Off he goes like the rest of the cowards. Just like Obama.
Barky wants coffee.
You need to remove your pencil dick from larry first.
Reg’boy, If you like to swallow your should call Hobama.
No wait…. you’ve already been swallowing that cum.
Now I think I finally understand Michelle HO’Bama.
Michelle H. Obama/Michelle Hussein Obama/Michelle HO’bama
Let’s all feel sorry for Reggie, 14 and too young to drive a car and too ugly to get a girlfriend.
AWWWW Reggie. Your MA is showing to be more than your IQ. Confused? Look it up and google you little fvcktard.
Back to the task at hand…
Obama’s campaign is dying a death by a thousand paper cuts.
70 million below projected fundraising for June, even percentages in polls with McCain, Jackson wants his nuts on a platter, BernieMac outs him for the sexist pig he is through humor, Clinton’s deep pocket donors aren’t coughing up, PUMAS are on his and the DNC azzes.
Yup, all in all, Obama seems to be dying a slow political death in front of all those Obot worshippers and they’re to stupid to realize it.
Well stated.
The Oblama’s only raised 8 million in June. they have not announced the number because they are padding it with July donations.
If they raised 30 million they’d be tripping all over themselves to report they raised more than McCain. They did that to Hillary every chance they got.
Where did u get the 8mil #?
“If they raised 30 million they’d be tripping all over themselves to report they raised more than McCain. They did that to Hillary every chance they got.”
Sure did.
The MSM bragged on and on about Obama’s HUGE campaign finances - and kept screaming at Hillary to drop out - claiming she was deep in debt all through the primaries!
Very interesting to see how the tables have turned.
Gari Sue:
i understand your revulsion to what just happened. there is not one person here that enjoys this banter with these “Children”. I do beg to differ though on your assertion that we look bad to the rest of the world when these Trolls invade our site. It is THEY that look bad not us. Now sometimes some of us–myself Included–fall for the bait. But snaity creeps back in and we remember why we are here and ignore those trolls.
the trolls should be treated like an “obscene phone call”….. just hang up and don’t talk to them. They get their jollies by the outraged responses from the offended. Don’t fall for their trap.
oops…I meant SANITY not snaity…whatever that means…LOL
Reggie’s posts seem a bit schitzy don’t you think?
Does Barack Hussein Obama allow his friends to refer to MEchelle as Michelle HO’Bama?
Did I mention the 12 point drop in the polls for Obama vs McCain in the last month?
Oh, and how about Michelle dropping the single mother bomb and the Kos fraud birth certificate being deemed a forgery?
Geez, Obummer has been having a bad month.
Edit to stupid ‘to’ realize it to - too stupid to realize it.
His mother was punished with a baby!
We were punished with her baby.
that’s the sad truth!!!
Obama: Hey Bernie! Watch your language! My Ho is here!
at the top of this web-page there was an article claiming outrage that an Obama supporter should be using sexist humor. At the bottom of the page I see Hillary supporters calling Michelle “Ho’bama”.
What a strage site this is.
this site isn’t “strage” at all
as for the poster’s opinions and comments about Michelle the bitch, well the posters aren’t running for any important political office that i know of..
We are merely discussing the language that the Obamas use when they refer to each other….
Based on the referenced O’boy fundraiser I believe the formal title that Michelle is persuing is “First Bitch HoBama”.
“At the bottom of the page I see Hillary supporters calling Michelle “Ho’bama”.”
It’s called sarcasm.
Hillary supporters were pointing out how Obama and his ilk have no problem denigrating other women under the guise of “humor.” Yet these same men don’t want anyone to insult their wives, daughters, mothers and other female family members.
You must have missed the part about the satire.
It will be interesting to see if black women show any anger over this or if they set it aside for the sake of getting their messiah into the White hOuse..
my 2cents-
“The AP is to be praised for their tough-minded professional journalism.”
Honestly in the last year I think I’ve written to AP about 3 times condemning them for their lack of professionalism and blatant bias in favor of Obama in their articles and lack of full coverage. Each time I showed them examples that were outrageous on their reporting.
If they did something right this time, well that’s one so far in the last year…
“Who would ever have expected such stuff from Bernie Mac?”
….ahhhh is he kidding? is he familiar with Bernie’s work? I am, so this doesn’t surprise me in the least.
as for Wilco, never heard of it/them ….
Wow. You idiots have outdone yourself this time.
Hard to believe anyone could be so fucking stupid.
BTW, I’m still waiting for that scandalous video Larry promised. Whenever you can pry your head from your ass, buddy…
Ahhhh, Dane now is it , it must be shift change at Obama inc.
“Wow. You idiots have outdone yourself this time.
Hard to believe anyone could be so fucking stupid.”
That’s what we think of moronic Obamabots who continue to frequent a blog where they’re clearly NOT wanted. This site obviously does NOT support their candidate, so why the f— do they keep coming back here?
At the bottom of the page I see Hillary supporters calling Michelle “Ho’bama”.
No “Hillary supporters” frequent this site.
Just a bunch of Republican spooks.
Just because we are going to vote for McCain doesn’t mean we are Republicans, and just because you are voting for Obama it doesn’t mean you are a Democrat. A Pelosi/Dean Democrat, but not a real Democrat.
See the problem with these Marxists, socialists, communists, Leninists, Maoists who couldn’t make it in their fringe parties is that they call themselves Democrats.
You bet she’s a Ho. If I’m a Ho, and Hillary’s a Ho (see Bro’s Before Ho’s poster), then she’s a Ho.
And Spook is racist. Shame on you.
Good point!
Do these scumbag Obamabots remember the “Bros Before Hos” shit? Or the Hillary nutcracker?
I must be in a nightmare. We better dig up Susan B. and Elizabeth Cady ladies. Time to clean some serious house. This asshole Obama is setting us back a century or two. I’m livid.
Obama could bite the head off a live bald eagle, throw it on a US Flag, set the whole thing on fire while smoking crack and calling Lady Liberty a Bitch Ho, and not lose a single Black vote.
I think we are headed for a gangsta presidency. Imagine how wonderful it will be. We are falling into an abyss.
Does this remind anyone of the O.J. Simpson jury’s verdict and how they take care of their own?
Of course it does. And the Backlash is building.
Johnny,
Let’s get our whips ready!
In 2005, billionaire investor George Soros convened a group of 70 super-rich liberal donors in Phoenix to evaluate why their efforts to defeat President Bush had failed. One conclusion was that they needed to step up their long-term efforts to dominate key battleground states. The donors formed a group called Democracy Alliance to make grants in four areas: media, ideas, leadership and civic engagement. Since then, Democracy Alliance partners have donated over $100 million to key progressive organizations.
Acorn’s political arm has endorsed Mr. Obama while its “voter education” arm has pledged to spend $35 million to register people this fall — despite a history of vote fraud scandals that have led to guilty pleas by many Acorn employees.
The housing bill now before Congress would set up a slush fund for community organizations such as Acorn. But Acorn has gone quiet in its lobbying for the bill this week with the news that one of its employees — the brother of Acorn founder Wade Rathke — had stolen nearly $1 million from the group. Mr. Rathke decided not to alert law enforcement or the organization’s board, and kept his brother employed at Acorn until last month. “Is this the kind of group we want getting taxpayer money?” asks Rep. Ed Royce (R., Calif.)
But Acorn may play, along with other liberal groups, a leading role in electing Mr. Obama. Such groups deserve a closer look now, before their influence and possibly their clout grow dramatically after the November election.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121581650524447373.html?mod=todays_columnists
Uh oh…. sounds like Rathke has an aiding and abetting problem…
Yep. Soros is the one we have to get rid of.
And the author of the post that started the No Quarter crowd a-spewing says it best:
I’ve been involved in some pretty moronic internet dustups before, but this is perhaps the stupidest. And I’ve argued with Ann Althouse and Josh Trevino.
“Stupider than Ann Althouse and Josh Trevino.” Now that’s a slogan!
We’ll see where this one goes. The headline is much more exciting then the content. Although I do think people should sit up and take notice that Obama can’t speak one word out of his mouth without then speaking out of the other side of his mouth the exact opposite of what he just said! He has no moral compass. UGH!
Thanks y’all, this was the funniest stuff I’ve read since finding the wonderful evangelical christian website http://www.landoverbaptist.org
Man this was good…..
That is funny “AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTERS:
Trade Us Your Voter’s Registration Card For Free Fried Chicken From Popeye’s!”
Who needs polling place intimidation when you have Popeyes?
What a hoot!!
Obama supporters don’t support Obama per se, but support a movement. They see Obama’s brand of politics as an entirely different way of doing things. A CHANGE from the old way.
The problem is, that the more of the Obama flip-flops that are exposed (FISA/Telecom Immunity, the Second Amendment, public financing of campaigns, Handgun Ban, Death Penalty, NAFTA, Decriminalizing Marijuana, the War in Iraq, illegal immigration, and the Cuba embargo along with several other things), the more people realize CHANGE was only a buzz word and
The MessiahObama is a fraud.So, Obama feigns outrage and calls for the firing of a Typical White Person (Imus) for saying “hos.” But, Obama minimizes it when a Typical Black Person (Mac) says “ho.” It is one more flip-flop to add to the list and it further bursts the bubble for many of his supporters.
The AA supporters will probably vote for Obama no matter what, but the Whiteys and the Indys will flee quicker than Speedy Gonzales running from the Border Patrol.
Change for Obama is like the weather in Chicago. If you don’t like it, stick aound for an hour and it will change.
Yes and the movement is made up of the same whackjob fringe as the last time. Socialists, Marxists, communist party losers who keep trying to hijack the party. They are the reason we have only elected two presidents in 40 years. The moderates, who are the majority just not as loud, all go vote their asses back to the margin, where they belong.
you people must stop pretending to be outraged by sexism in the media while speaking the way you are about Michelle. And anyone doing research on the PUMA movement would be wise to check out this thread.
I am outraged that Obama and Bernie refer to their wives as Ho’s.
And Obama pretends to have cajones by telling Black Men that they should take better care of their families? …… Never mind, I forgot that Jesse Jackson cut Obama’s cajones.
Oh Really? WHat makes you think that you and Barack Obama can call us Ho’s and then innoculate HIS Ho? We are wives and mothers just like she is. So go to hell, you hypocrite–and shove your double standard up your Ho’s ass. How’s that feel? Isn’t that funnnnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyy??? Your mother’s a Ho. Isn’t that funnnnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyy?
Michelle can be the Head Ho now. A riot isn’t it? “Just messin’ with ya”.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
(pauses to breath)
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
man, you’re stupid.
soldier4Hillary–
For you Obama trolls that think things such as this is non issues, let me ask you this. If you stated what Bernie Mac did to four female coworkers if you were male, do you think you would remain on that job?
If your high school son or daughter came home from high school and stated there teacher made the same remark in the classroom Bernie Mac made, do you think the teacher would keep there job?

Listen, just because someone doesn’t jump into the bandwagon and act with herd mentality and agree with every single post on this blog, doesn’t mean they are trolls or Obama supporters.
You really should back off and quit acting like the imbeciles over at Obama’s website blog. The fact of the matter is you are railing about Bernie Mac and that’s fine, but Obama did not put those words in Bernie’s mouth and neither did he write his material.
Grow up already and use your anger on the real issues. It’s people like you who make the rest of Hillary’s supporters look bad.
Obama did not put those words in Bernie’s mouth and neither did he write his material
His campaign *hired* Bernie Mac to entertain the crowd well knowing what kind of jokes BMac tells. Like many comedians he has a cruel edge. I remember a routine of BMac’s where he joked about how he used to call a young nephew of his “the little f*gg*t”. It was poor judgement to hire him for a fundraiser to say the least. Certainly not hopey-changey.

Also - see the link above for a hilarious Bernie Mac joke about child abuse!
you need to back off of soldier4hill
you dont know shxt about this obviously
the points made were fine ones and you dont address any of them
but guess thats fine while others are fighting and dying for your freedom to type away here…
and in case there was any confusion there
I AGREE with EVERY word in soldier4hills comment
:0)
BOOYAH!!!!
HILLARY WILL BE POTUS
OMG. Thers (the author of the firedoglake piec, must be weting his/her panys laughing at you guys. That piece was satire. It was ridiculing articles like the ones that run here all the time. And everyone from susanunpc to all the commenters above took it as a serious piece.
This is the funniest thing I have read here ever.
All that crack smoking has fuzzed your brain and you cannot differentiate Satire form Reality.
We are laughing too. But it’s not with you, it’s at you.
DEAD HEAD TED!
It’s panties you pansy pie-eyed prune! PANTIES!!! Now go put them on your head, shut your fucking fruit-hole and hang yourself!
Sorry. It was a typo. I was aiming at the “t” and hit the “y”. Most folks would figure that out. But I guess if you can’t recognize satire, you can’t be expected to figure out panys is a lot closer to pants than panties.
Other than that, nice, mature, convincing comment. I notice yours are some of the more boorish posts here (and that’s saying something).
So we are just supposed to suck it up and vote for the racist BO. Anyone who thinks BO doesn’t believe what his crazy racist church has been spewing for 20 years is deluding themselves. Everyone knows BO hates Whites people.
I won’t vote for that racist freak ball. he’s simply unacceptable. Yes, I would rather have McCain. This crazy far-left “hate-whitey” bandwagon that is in vogue now has gone on far enough.
“Angel-food and devils food” cake is a racist thing now. ROFLMAO. Screw BO and all you idiots who hate your own skin color enough to vote for that hate-monger.
Don’t forget Black Holes. They are racist too!
ABC News’ Teddy Davis and Gregory Wallace Report: Former Secretaries of State James Baker and Warren Christopher recommended Tuesday that the 1973 War Powers Act be replaced by a new law that would provide for more meaningful consultation between the president and Congress.
“It’s ineffective a best; unconstitutional at worst,” said Baker, referring to the 1973 resolution that Congress passed over President Nixon’s veto. “The rule of law is undermined and is damaged when the main statute in this vital policy area is regularly questioned or ignored.”
The commission is calling on Congress to repeal the 1973 War Powers Act — key parts of which many scholars consider unconstitutional — and to replace it with a new statute providing that the president shall consult with Congress before deploying U.S. troops into combat operations lasting, or expected to last, more than a week. Congress would then have 30 days to approve or decline to approve military action — and declining a vote of approval would order the military action be ended.
The War Powers Consultation Act of 2009 would create a 20-member Joint Congressional Consultation Committee which would include leaders of the House and Senate from both parties as well as the chair and ranking members of key House and Senate committees covering foreign affairs, armed services, intelligence, and appropriations.

What’s that going to do? Would it prevent what has happened with the Iraq war.. which is the Democrat party throwing teh kitchen sink at it when it discovered that they could say any lie about it or Bush with impunity during the 2004 election?
what would happen while we were waiting for the 30 days??
they think FISA Court is too slow to wiretap but we can wait 30 days for CONGRESS to authorize ilitary force, WTH??
