Barack “Words Matter” Obama [Updated]
By Larry Johnson on September 10, 2008 at 11:15 PM in Current Affairs
[BELOW: SCREENSHOTS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S DIRECT ATTACK ON SARAH PALIN.]
The candidate who made an issue of the importance of words cannot have it both ways. He cannot insist that words matter then later use the gender equivalent of racist slurs to attack his political opponents and then cry foul. Sorry Barack, you got caught.
Remember when Barack insisted that words matter?
He continued: “…It’s true that speeches don’t solve all problems, but what is also true is if we cannot inspire the country to believe again then it doesn’t matter how many policies and plans we have…That is why we just won eight elections straight, because the American people want to believe in change again. Don’t tell me words don’t matter!“
So, you want us to believe that the guy who says “words matter” just happened to refer to McCain/Palin as a pig with lipstick ? Right. Oh, and he also said:
You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called ‘change,’” Obama continued, “it’s still gonna stink after eight years.
Okay, here’s a simple question–why is “douche” advertised on television?
Yep, that’s right, because there is a certain time of the month that fertile women tend to smell like fish. Also, women who are sexually active and do not use a condom and do not wash can wind up with a fishy smell. Crude? Yes, and I apologize. But it is true.
But of course, Barack would never use subliminal messages to convey his true feelings. Wait, what about Jay-Z?
PRESIDENTIAL hopeful Barack Obama claims to run a clean campaign, but someone in his camp took a swipe at Hillary Clinton through the candidate’s theme song. As Obama and his wife, Michelle, strolled triumphantly into his victory party in Des Moines, Iowa, on Jan. 3, Jay-Z’s “99 Problems” was blaring — a song where Jay raps, “I got 99 problems but a bitch ain’t one.” Most listeners took it as a not-so-sly reference to Clinton. “We didn’t know he used that,” a shocked Clinton spokesperson said. Obama has no problem admitting he’s a rap fan. “I tell you what. I can tell you the kinds of stuff that I love dancing to, and that is, I’m sort of, of the generation of Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind and Fire,” he told CNN along the campaign trail. “But I’m sort of hip to the younger stuff. You know, like Beyoncé’s ‘Crazy in Love.’ That’s a good song to dance to.
Sure, he wasn’t calling Hillary a bitch. Of course he came back to that theme when he brushed his shoulders off in front of an adoring crowd. In fact, Matthew Iglesias found it “pretty cool.”
Or how about Hillary being called “shrill” when she had the audacity to challenge the golden child on his nonsense (see here).
I think Barack was right. Words do matter and he is smart enough to know what he is saying in order to convey a certain message. His sexist assault on Sarah Palin, however, has backfired. Thank goodness. Barack’s wounded victim act is wearing thin.
UPDATE: Well, guess what? The Democrats pegged Palin as a “pig with lipstick” eleven days ago (30 August). BELOW are the screenshots and the image. Did the Democrats repudiate this? Hell no. Here is the link and the quote:
Palin does not change one single thing of what the Republicans are offering which is four more years of George Bush. All that McCain did was to put lipstick on the Pig (the Bush Administration whose failed strategies have wrecked our nation). Nothing has changed except for an exciting and sexy dash of lipstick to freshen up their tired old face of more of the same.
The same people who do not like the Bush Administration for what it has done to this nation are not going to be fooled by the lipstick on the pig. And it they think that the American public are so stupid that they will rush over now and kiss their pig of a platform because it is wearing a fresh touch of lipstick, well I think they will be surprised. Economically, the majority of Americans are at the breaking point. Most American families literally cannot stand another four more years of the same.

So don’t tell me that Barack did not mean anything when he used this metaphor. And you are doing drugs if you believe he did not have Sarah Palin in mind.

Obama On Letterman: ‘McCain Policy Is The Pig’
Presidential Hopeful Says Media Took His Words And Ran; Defends Bush Policies On Afghanistan, AIDS In Africa
NEW YORK (CBS) ― Presidential hopeful Barack Obama appeared on the “Late Show with David Letterman” in New York on Wednesday after a day of heated debate by media and political pundits over comments some took as a slam against Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
http://wcbstv.com/campaign08/barack.obama.david.2.814491.html
Thanks Larry,
His WIRMing is reminiscent of that old saw:
“I know you believe you understand what you think I said; but what you fail to realize is that what you heard is not what I really meant…”
All it “is” is “Words…”
regards
Obama says the pig/lipstick comment was taken out of context.
He didn’t have a problem when he took Hillary’s RFK omment out of context and attacked her.
Obama is the dirtiest politician ever crawled on earth.
Concerning Hillary’s RFK comment:
1. I do think it was not wise for her to to say it, to say the least. However, having said that…
2. I suspect she was hinting at an October surprise and NOT an assassination attempt. After all, the media was reporting rumors that Harold Ickes was making the rounds with superdelegates talking about an imminent October surprise awaiting Obama.
Besides, when Bill was President, there were several attempts on his life. Around 1993, some nut job literally flew a small propeller plane into the White House. I believe there were to separate “crazed gunman” incidents too. And these are just the stuff the Secret Service let the public know about.
Nobody wants the One to die.
If he gets killed, he will become a martyr, real legend.
That’s not what we want.
We want him exposed for what he really is. A lying race-baiting politician.
Long Live the ONE!
Actually I would like to see him get busted for his criminal activity, go to prison and wind up wearing a dress, some lipstick and some pearls while some guy named Bubba gives him his just desserts. Is this to much to ask?
It would be justice to see HIM get treated like someone’s bitch. Treat him like he treats women.
ahem, if you’re up on the ‘larry sinclair affair’, you ain’t just talking junk…
K,
I totally concur.
To be honest, I don’t care what happens to him as long as he is gone and the truth comes out and he is not allowed to have any influence on this country, even as a Senator. Someone needs to take him down and I don’t care who or how!
If Obama is not exposed and the “truth never comes out” and something bad happens to him, then he WILL BE a martyr.
This is the last thing we need.
Obama won the nomination by his divisive race-baiting. If he wins the Presidency or is assassinated without being exposed, then from now on, every time a black candidate runs in the Democratic primary process–and there will be plenty, he will follow the Obama-tastic pathway to success, i.e. RACE-BAITING. Well, at least 50% of black candidates will resort to this… And even if they don’t , the black community will resort to race-baiting 100% of the time on their behalf. (Hispanics too might try this bullshit. Even a Machiavellian woman could then fraudulently gender-bait too.) This means that the Democratic coalition is will be fractured every 4 years. The party will be forever divided & conquered.
This precedent has to be stopped. It has to be nipped in the bud–starting with Barack O’Racebait. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PARTY, HE HAS TO BE EXPOSED.
No, you idiot. She was comparing HERSELF to RFK.
Guess again, douchebag.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vyFqmp4wzI
—Hillary talking about RFK
The entire editorial board of the paper agreed - she was answering the question of why she was still in it. She said Bill Clinton and RFK were BOTH still in it at this point. Then, acknowledged RFK was killed in CA - IMO - she kind of stumbled into it.
You see, douchebag, I listened to the entire meeting. She was simply bringing up others who were still trying to win the nomination at the same point in the race.
Barack is not the center of the universe.
Hey numnutz, check below for my response. I forgot to press the “Replay” button. Sorry.
Crowd me into a back alleyway with just Obama and no one else and I will SMEAR his UGLY MOUTH with lipstick!
Zelda,
Please clarify.
Are you gonna attack him with lipstick?
Or, are you gonna mouth-kiss him? Ew.
His campaign sent the Olbermann rant about RFK to 1,000 media contacts to fuel the story, then yesterday, he has the nerve to protest: “Enough! They take a phrase or word out of context. Enough with the phony outrage. I love my country too much to see them do this again.”
For all you lurkers who think we are racists, THIS is exactly the reason I will not vote for him. He is the worst kind of hypocrite, playing the innocent victim. We have seen this exact same routine many times before from him. It is not new, it is just ignored by the press, while they scramble to make excuses for him. Enough! is right.
You see uh uh Sarah Palin is the lipstick, not the pig.
Oh gee Barry. When you put it that way.
Man watch that clip - Barry is obsessed with her.
catfish
Dick Morris (the creep) was on O’Rielly’s tonight and, although I hate to reference anything he says, I may agree with him this time. He said Palin had gotten inside Obama’s head. Now there are two women in that big, empty space reminding him just how inadequate he really is.
Michelle to Obama-’You’re Pathetic!’ Sarah to us says ‘Sweet:-)’
Michelle called Barack when he was home that he was ’sweet and pathetic’ when she was on the View.
It’s kind of funny….so who’s the pig? McCain? The guy who opposes pork in politics?
Obama is a fucking joke.
let me tell you what i inferred from his quip:
barko’s premise is that the ‘the pig’ is Bush’s policies and ‘the lipstick’ is McCain’s spin of the same policies.
however, barko nonetheless states that he “would like to try putting lipstick on a pig…”
okay, so it’s not ‘the pig’ that bothers him, it’s the lipstick!
Obama is the best insincere person that I know that can sound sincere. If the lipstick thing was so innocent then why was it brought up now? Obama’s body language, the tone of his voice and his hesitation between the sentences made me gasp and think that he called Palin a pig. The biggest give away was the smirk on his face.
Yes, I heard the clip on the radio, and even without visuals, I knew immediately what he was trying to do–he is so totally NOT innocent, for crying out loud!
O/T but…
“Joe Biden drunk on campaign trail- NOT a joke video”
youtube.com/watch?v=4TBNeNHHXEY&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TBNeNHHXEY&feature=related
Wow. I like it that it should hurt Obama but I can’t help but feel sorry for Joe.
I don’t feel sorry for Joe. I feel sorry for Anita Hill. I feel sorry for the guy in the wheel chair Biden asked to “get up.”
I feel sorry for the democratic party for having yet another blow-hard goof in a leadership position.
This guy milks the story of his wife getting killed by a drunk driver and then parades around blasted out of his mind in a public forum?
ok…you’re right. I forgot about all of that.
Wait What? The Driver was not Drunk! Joe has been called on that a number of times. The family of the other victim has even called him to stop saying that.
Biden’s gone around saying that a drunk driver killed his wife. we have to have strong laws to prevent this. blah, blah, blah.
And as you point out, there is no evidence that the driver was drunk. and Biden never pressed any charges– which further debunks his fiction.
So Biden fabricates this myth to wrap himself in– this teetotler (sp) horse-pucky and this victim of the evils of alcohol and then gets on stage at a political event and is pretty much shit-faced.
I don’t know… kind of seems like there’s a story here.
Maybe Joe was the driver that was drunk.
just wondering
Jeremiah the other driver was not drunk and did not die in the accident, but he did suffer from depression for the rest of his life. I don’t have a lot of pity for Biden after the way he talked about Hillary, but it is a little sad to see so much destruction left in the wake of Obama’s ego.
If I’d been stuck playing second banana to the Senate’s Junior Blowhard, I’d be drinking too.
Great quote Mr. Natural. LOL
He made a mistake with the guy in the wheelchair.
Biden’s wife and small daughter were killed. He is lucky his two boys weren’t.
Give him a break.
Same here. Normally I dont’ like seeing people humiliate themselves however, obama lost my sympathy long ago. Biden still has it. Like i’ve said about Paula and Britney, his famly needs to sit down and figure out why he’s drinking so much. this is not good. He may damage his political career should he Obama not win, so they need to address this quick.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=4TBNeNHHXEY
When I heard the audio of his comments re: Hillary Clinton today, my first thought was “Jeez, he sounds drunk!” The guy definitely slurs his words big-time. Whether or not it’s actually due to drinking, I don’t know.
Didn’t Biden have some kind of a stroke long ago?
Perhaps he is having some nerve-brain damage symptoms and problems surfacing at his age.
Wasn’t he planning to retire, he is now 65?
He could even have recently had what is called “transient ischemic attack” which is a very small, tiny stroke in the brain which can affect the muscular system in different parts of the body. His speech could be slightly affected.
My mother had that problem.
C’mon…we have plenty of things to make legitimate complaints about. Joe Biden doesn’t drink. He never has. He says he has never even tasted alcohol.
So I guess Obama is not going to ask DailyIdiots to take this diary down? How friggin low can you go - I thought kids would be off limits guess that just means for his “real” campaign staff not his DailyIdiots staff.

TheProblemWithObama.com
Matthew are you leaving the top slot empty?
Where’s Obama birth certificate and other documents?
Obama will claim that empty top slot on the ballot as a vote for himself since it’s a dem ticket. Obama claimed votes for himself from registered voters who didn’t cast a vote in the primaries. They use a list of voters who didn’t vote. That was in the primary. Beware. Many pumas think the empty top slot will stay empty. My, My, My. After all we have been through and seen, do you really think the top slot will stay empty? naw naw naw. I don’t expect anyone to believe me. I was screaming really loud about vote fraud back in Februaury and Hill bloggers thought I was off my rocker. Hill camp believed me though.
I don’t follow you. Can you please clarify or explain what you are talking about?
Yes…please explain yourself.
Thanks.
Well, they scrubbed the last one but now another diary up about the black father thing on Palin. Somebody - Matthew? please get a screen shot of this one too.

cripes, they get more pathetic by the minute….
Actualy McCain probably new these kids were uncontrollable and that’s why he picked the seemingly desperate VP pick. He new the brats would be unable to curb their stupidity and would take obama out with him. One thing about generation X we are smart as hell but we have no common sense, and out biggest flaw is that we don’t listen to other people. We have gone into the adult world, with a teenage mentality. everything that can be said does not always need to be said. For instance when I was about 8 i happen to tell and adult that they were lying, my mother yanked me for doing that, and told me children should not say that to adults. For years, I thought my mom was nuts, and then I grew up and saw my younger cousins say the same thing to people and cringe. obama should never have gone with in ten miles of lipstick. heck he should have known not to even say chapstick. After all there is a reason why Politics and polite come from the same root word. But the news media and his fanatics let him get away with the middle finger thing, now he thinks we are supposed to think every thing he says or does is untouchable and can just be explained away. there are many time I write out a rant and never sent it because, I knew what I was saying would be hurtful or just not reflect well on me as a person. There is one truth but many ways to say it.
However I think McCain should point to all the examples of how obama, mocked hillary clinton. And combine i with the lipstick a people would begin to see the sexism quite easily.
Kgirl, good for you; you rant effectively. I am so proud that you are here and not on KOS. I know that there are many other young people who are not blindly following Obama, despite what the media feeds us. Stay strong.
“One thing about generation X we are smart as hell but we have no common sense”
Please don’t blame this on Generation X. People keep seeming to forget that GENERATION X HAS GROWN UP NOW and many journalists still mistakenly label anyone “young” as Generation X.
Technically speaking, the oldest GenXer could possibly be almost 50 now. This presumes the most generous Generation X birth span of 1960-1980. Some say that GenX started in 1965; regardless, it is a certain that no-one born after 1980 is Generation X. Anyone born after 1980 is either Generation Y or Millennial.
Thanks
(GenXer here, in her late 30s, coming up on 40 soon and no longer a kid.)

<b.One thing about generation X we are smart as hell but we have no common sense, and out biggest flaw is that we don’t listen to other people.
That is a good description of the Democratic Party, but you do have some common sense and listen to others.
On a related note, Andrew Sullivan has taken a leave of absence from the Atlantic. Marc Ambinder reminds any fans that this is just a temporary leave of absence sand that he even has nice emails from Andrew about what a swell time he’s having on vacation.
Huh?
Andrew Sullivan is beneath contempt.
Is the gap measurable or is he tucked right up next to it?
Since I can think of a bunch of people who are beneath both contempt and the “Bus”, is there a distance relationship between the two… or is it more like the next level of Scientology thing… You have to work your way up…
Just askin’ here, don’t send anyone to explain “the history of Psychiatry” to me, please.
Andrew Sullivan is in rehab…
…on his knees.
Hopefully praying for plastic jesus to save him from himself
Is that under the bus now too???
Mercy! This bus was made by the same guys who build those clown cars… come to think of it, we oughta grab the next clown out of the car and wipe off the make-up!
Donna!
He’s wearing an “i love me jacket”
you know, the one with the straps and buckles
leaves him free to draw on the padded walls with a crayon between his toes?
Vacation? Or was he suspended?
Who takes vacations during the Presidential elections, as they reach their most intense phase?
It’s not like we have them every year.
The hypocrisy of Barack just sickens me. I didn’t think I could dislike any a much as George Bush !II, but I think Barack has achieved that and more and he’s not even President.
Thanks for this post, Larry.
The msm seems to be burying it. Several repubs have
given obama a pass. BS!
He meant to infer Palin was a pig and that’s obvious to anyone with a modicum of sense.
And of course the delightful fish comment.
This story needs to stay in the fore-front.
Plus we have the “sweetie” comment and the garbage he directed at Hillary.
It’s obvious the pig comment was meant to be a direct hit on Palin. I’m getting really sick of media morons pretending that he didn’t say it, McCain used the phrase (HEY STUPID MEDIA– there’s nothing wrong with the phrase when it’s meant to imply there’s something inherently wrong with a POLICY! Directed at a woman, it’s a obvious, juvenille, nasty slur).
Macaca-Mouth Obama needs to be taken down. And this story can do it if people stay tough on it. The msm clowns are trying to bury it. Keep it at the forefront!
Imagine for a moment the First Dude and Barry accidently locked in a room for ten minutes when a terrible furniture storm rages momentarily with one of the two men sustaining quite a thumpin’!
Wouldn’t that be ‘thumpin’
My old Baptist preacher would have said something about the thought being as bad as the deed…
Not for Barry
LOL, and let it be tomorrow when he meets with the almost “first dude.” I think Bill Clinton and Palins husband would reach across the isle to do some bipartisian butt kicking.
Imagine if Hillary had made a similar statement. Would the MSM give her the benefit of a doubt?
If your answer is no, then obama is just taking advantage of a double standard that has served him well throughout this entire campaign.
It’s time to take obama down from his pedestal and kick his butt back to Chicago.
Enough is enough.
Watched BIll O’Reilly for about the first time (because I wanted to watch Palin speak upon arrival at Fairbanks) and was very surprised that he was covering for Obama on this. Don’t know about him, but the stupid media in general seem to be reeling because Palin represents a clear and present danger to their continued ability to spoon feed their daily and phoney narrative about America, and of course their prominent place in it.
Bill O dragged that Obama interview out for a week. I guess he thought it would get him ratings. He’s been begging Obama to do his show. I watch Fox so I don’t have to see Obama every 10 mintues. He said he thought Obama would get independents from his show-Think not.
CNN covered her arrival at Fairbanks live!! First time I have watched CNN in months. Seriously.
It was a great rally! Did you see it?
Ok, OK, OK ……… I get it. Sara was a brilliant choice. Actually, I said that the day it happened. Let’s get back to the issues. That barracuda can obviously defend herself and Obama is shooting himself in the foot.
American voters will be waking up to the fact that trillions of their tax money has just been pledged by Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson to bail out bankrupt banks’ securities in the financial crash. Subsequently, more and bigger banks are getting the runs. More big bailouts are being rumored in the financial press.
A subsidiary of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, Kansas Bankers Surety Corp., has terminated its “excess deposit insurance” plan by which it insured bank deposits above $100,000, particularly for smaller community and regional banks. The reason, a Paris banking source said today, is that Buffett fears 1,500 U.S. banks failing in the near future. The Wall Street Journal made a similar report of Buffett’s fears as the cause.
A “tip of the iceberg” research report immediately identified 14 U.S. regional banks, at least 5% of whose core capital was now-worthless stock of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; since the report only identified one-thirtieth of that stock outstanding, the actual number of such banks is in the hundreds. They now have to raise more capital in a credit market which ain’t buying, and a large number will have to be merged or taken over.
Lehman (or, Lemon) Brothers, whose CEO Richard Fuld is closely advised by Felix Rohatyn, is “into endgame” reported the Wall Street Journal after it reported a $3.9 billion second-quarter loss and started setting up a separate unit to try to auction off $30 billion in commercial mortgage-backed securities. The amount reminds a lot of Bear Stearns, and the toxic crap is like what Merrill Lynch recently sold for 20 cents on the dollar–after having to loan the buyer the money. So, the press are full of reports of another Federal Reserve MBS bailout coming. Rumors say the likely “receiving bank” for the remnants of Lemon Brothers is Morgan Stanley.
Washington Mutual, the country’s biggest S&L with over $250 billion in deposits and a totally toxic book of mortgage “assets,” was placed on probation by the Office of Thrift Supervision, with the cost of derivatives to insure its bonds zooming up to an all-time record $4 million upfront plus $500,000/year to insure $10 million. It’s unlikely to be able to raise more capital, or to find another bank willing to buy.
Excellant short straight forward essay of a very complex situation.
I would not have financials in my portfolio - but -
It is offical the taxpayer is long financials. Scary stuff.
I mean excellent
My question is: Which party is most likely to repair this mess?
republicans in the executive branch and democrats knowing that we mean business in with the legislative branch, congress you had better DO something…
Agreed. We don’t want the OMessiah in a place where no one challenges him.
Mark this down: The housing market will have bottomed by the end of 2008. Most of the bad news is out. There may be some more high-visibility write-downs to come, but by & large the worst is over. I don’t predict a meaningful rebound in housing prices any time before 2010 (most likely 2011), but the declines will stop and real estate markets around the nation will stabilize. Actually, in another couple of months it will probably be a great time to start loading up on the stocks of financial services companies. One should always look to buy when the level of pessimism is at its highest.
This entire debacle will serve as a ver valuable lesson to both banks and the government of the hazards of funding naked real estate speculation with Fed money. Regulations will be tightened and margin requirements will be increased. Certain types of abusive mortgages (”interest only” or “reverse amortization” mortgages for example) will be drastically curtailed or eliminated entirely.
There’s no magic solution to the mortgage mess. The nation had one hell of a party for years based on rising real estate prices, and after every parry comes a hangover. Democrats are just as much to blame in this whole mess as Republicans.
The pain won’t bottom out in 2008. 2009 will also be bad. ARMs will be readjusting and many will not be able to pay the higher payments . Since house prices are still declining people will not have enough equity to qualify for traditional 80/20 mortgages.
thank you, time to get back to the issues and end the 11 straight days and counting that they have devoted to this non-issues. how about “thanks, on behalf of all women for the gesture, but the Dems did it 20 years ago, but she’s pretty much what we expected rove to pull out of his ass in desperation, and we really would like to talk about the economy now, stupid”
Good post.
I know from personal experience that Washington Mutual has been looting customer’s safe deposit boxes in Northern Cal. A lot of people don’t know it yet because they infrequently if ever visit their boxes. They think as long as the box is paid for it is in good standing and not “abandoned.” A friend of mine told me that some banks did this in the 1930s before they crashed. I have no idea how often you are supposed to visit the box for it to not be “abandoned.” -Maybe every three months? Maybe, “abandoned” means whenever they are inclined to steal.
If anyone is reading this and you have a Washington Mutual safe deposit box you had better get your valuables out if you still can. I told several friends of mine this happened to me last year and basically no one believed me. They tried to but couldn’t wrap their mind around the fact. -This being the United States and not Nazi Germany and all… “Are you sure you paid the box fee,” they asked? Most people pay for their boxes via automatic withdrawal from their checking account and think this means the box isn’t considered to be abandoned. I know that California banks were told to stop doing this but who is going to enforce this?
Well, I did for you what no one did for me and you have been warned. Please pass this info on to your friends and relatives as they sure won’t hear about it on the networks.
I did hear that there is a web site set up where you can apply to recoup property that was looted and sold on ebay. That is- you can supposedly get back the ebay value of your grandmother’s pearls etc. If you have cash; well cash has a way of vanishing. There are a few but scanty stories about this on the internet. I heard that some elderly parents of a friend were saying a stamp collection or something disappeared from their box, but my friend thought they must have gotten confused about paying the box fee.
Sorry, this is kind of off topic but I consider it to be a community service posting. I also don’t see the media war i.e. sexist savaging of women to be an unimportant issue either. We are being attacked on all sides.
Peace, out
I love it when he stirs up all this crap and then calls a press conference to say “Enough!” Like some buffoon with a galaxy-sized ego. “Enough!” he shouts! “I” he says, “I have the sole right to stir up this crap and I” he says “have the power, the ego, to say to every one of you — ENOUGH!”
Until the next time.
The next time he shouts “Enough!” I hope someone hits him in the mouth with a nice big Alaska salmon.
Ha. You’re right!
What, and have Alaska Fish and Wildlife after you for abuse of gamefish? Haddock! He deserves nothing more than Haddock!
I just saw Dennis Miller on O’Reilly. He was saying that the one thing he took away from the O’Reilly/Obama interview was that the Democrats selected the wrong person.
First time I’ve agreed with Dennis Miller.
He said Hillary should have been the Presidential candidate and she would have selected Obama as her VP. She wouldn’t have been making these mistakes that’s for sure.
Frankly, I didn’t want him near her or the White House. When she runs in 2012, she can pick who she wants.
If the Dems weren’t crooks, the Dream Ticket would have been reality. But they had this set up since 2004, and they couldn’t let it go.
Absolutely correct.
Do you think Hillary has been in on what was intended to be a fraudulent election cycle then? Seems hard to believe but then it happened.
absolutely friggin NOT — she would’ve gotten out after Super Tuesday when they all started singing WWTSBQ…
I don’t think it became completely clear to the HRC campaign until the RBC decision on May 31st…then I believe it became apparent the depth of the DNC’s manipulation and she also probably became aware of some of the blackmailing of the SDs
You know i never did get the fish comment. Thanks for putting that disgusting image in my head.
Oh, I got it right away.
oh yeah.
I got it, like the limo scene in Grumpy Old Men.
LJ:
My take was he was taking a double shot to the ticket:
Palin —-> pig.
McCaim the stinking old fish.
Another interpretation–which he seems to advanced today on Letterman is that McCain was also the pig and Palin the lipstick: ie. Palin is a sexualize object; an “interesting story” he respects because he is the mere “mother of five”.
It’s those condescending dismissals that disgust me — “up and coming public servant”, “interesting story”, etc. Ugh!
It’s people with serious insecurity issues who have to stoop so low… and try to pretend they’re not.
Of course Obama made it APPEAR that the “old fish” was McCain…but it was a double entendre. I got the “fish” reference right away and what it means regarding women, and I’m still blown away and appalled he used it.
He is lower than a snake.
I am just watching to see how long his deluded ones will keep giving him a pass on all this sh*t.
I got it too and so apparently did the panel on Brit Humes’s show because they all started giggling, even Krauthammer (I thought his face would crack if he ever smiled). However, they didn’t mention the actual reference, only the words and it’s impossible to point out the meaning behind those words. Larry is so right. Words matter.
A schoolteacher friend said Obama reminds her of the smirking kid who calls someone a bitch and then when called on it says, “Whaaaat?? It’s a female dog, that’s all.”
Yup. That’s about his level. I would not trust him anywhere near either diplomacy or a red button. The guy is seriously unstable in his ego. I know 12-year-olds more emotionally mature than he.
Most 12 year olds have seen someone get his ass kicked for smarting off to a loose cannon or two in their lifetimes.
When Barry wasn’t playing “no D” hoops, he was hanging with the cheerleaders learning how to slice and dice with the best of them. This is so evident in his speech patterns and smart mouth flippancy.
In the day, there were things you wouldn’t risk saying to people unless you wanted to fight. Barry never had that life lesson. Trust me, if you were to say the shit he says or in the manner he says it, you would wonder why you were looking at the ceiling. One sneer to a girl in school like he did to Hill in that photo and someone would have lit him up. Barry never hung with the dudes who backed up their talk. He wouldn’t have lasted ten minutes.
Andrew Jackson is doing barrel rolls this minute…
I agree WMBC,
I work with these types everyday… in middle school.
I think a great deal of the purposeful filth that is being spewed by that campaign is also a diversionary tactic, to take the heat off of, more than likely voter fraud on Nov 4th, similar if not worse than the caucus fraud. Also I think they are quite simply,losing their collective minds. There is a great deal of end fighting going on at the O site. People don’t have any more money to donate, people think O has no spine and are saying so, and Gov Palin has caused the center to disintegrate. Don’t think for one minute they don’t have a plan B. They do not care what crap is insinuated, regarding women especially; the fish comment didn’t escape any of us, one doesn’t have to look too far. I think there is a push to see if we will lose it in a racist way, for real. I think we are close to seeing actual violence, the words and extreme to which the left is going to verbally execute Gov Palin, is just one step away from it. The risk taking behavior, has attorneys in the wings just waiting to be asked to take the slander suits. Cowards can remove filth after they have posted it as a story(Cheetoh home), but there is still proof.
It all boils down to this, if you are going to vote for Obama, what is the reason you are doing so? Don’t tell me policy, he has none, you cannot track where one iota of his planning comes from, he doesn’t take responsibility for himself, and has no thought to how he behaves or what he says. If he will do this to his fellow countrywomen, what on earth do you think his behavior will look like, should he be CIC? Much like now, he will be either so aggressive he will be trigger happy, or so passive he will allow anything. Please vote, but when you do, be realistic, and understand who you are voting for. You are voting for issues yes, but you are also voting the character of a person who could give two shits about you if you are female, white or older,as well as from a small town, do you think he will want to send any breaks your direction? No, he is using women everywhere, in anyway he can. All Obama is, is a pimp for the democratic party.
This is spot on analysis. Thanks for sharing it.
I totally agree.
A vote for Obama would like a vote for Hilter.
If Barry is elected, your analogy will become way more accurate than you ever thought. They can shout out that ‘yes they can’ crap all they want…
We Will
I don’t think I will watch tv on November 4th. I think Obama will try to steal the vote with his so called”ground organization” Or take it to court like Al Gore did.
Thank you, McKatmoon. Well said and right on target.
If I had some fresh popcorn, I’d go over there, sit back in a nice comfortable chair, and watch.
Very well stated. Thank you.
Obama probably grew up thinking referring a woman to a bitch is not bad. Unless of course he gets called out on it.
The dumb masses continue the debacle.
Soretoro/Obama grew up in Indonesia where a woman couldn’t even be listed as their children’s parent unless she was a widow. His American mother willingly followed her husband to Indonesia and obviously accepted the culture of his country and exposed her son to a culture that gave women second class citizenship at best, made her a part of the husband’s property at worst.
Rogers and Hammerstein sums it up best in the song from musical South Pacific.
From Soetoro/Obama’s actions with the women of his campaign (paying them less than the men), treating female reporters differently from their male counterparts (hasn’t called any of them “sweetie”), openly and on video giving the finger to his female rival Senator Hillary Clinton and now comparing the female governor of Alaska who interfered with his media coverage as a pig wearing lipstick, he has shown nothing but contempt for more than one half of this country’s population regardless of their racial heritage.
But just as he rages over “racist” comments he perceives others to have made, he ignores the rage of his own sexist comments directed at every female who gets in is way. And he is using the same old double standards of second class citizenship against women that has outlasted the second class citizenship against the blacks.
correct; his role models are rappers and america-hating, woman-hating black muslims. no way in heck does he belong in the white house.
BTW, I spoke to a Republican woman relative. Those women are fired up over this pig, fish, and “didn’t abort that baby” crap. They are PISSED, and wanting to kick this buffoon’s ass back to Shy-town so bad they can’t stand it.
They are organizing like mad to GOTV, all on their own, using every social network they have. They are going to be coming out of the WOODWORK in November. Droves.
One of the reasons Bush won in 2004 was because the numbers among Repub women were down. Not this year. They are going to break records.
I meant the reason it was so close in 2004. You get it.
Did you read that on Letterman he explains his remark? Palin “is” the lipstick. I thought that was what he meant. And it infuriates me slightly more.
The entire quote is: “Keep in mind, technically, had I meant it this way, [Palin] would be the lipstick. The failed policies of John McCain would be the pig, just following the logic of this illogical situation,” Obama said.”
BO is apparently implying that Palin is only superficial window dressing on McCain pig policies. Wow — that really “clarifies” things.
I think he just made the whole thing worse.Lucky for him that tomorrow is 9/11 and it probably won’t get any air time.
DAB, thanks for the full quote.
So it could not be any clearer, “technically”, Obama is an asshat. He is so tone deaf that even Letterman’s side kick Paul’s singing doesn’t bother him. I always thought the 5th amendment was something to do with self incrimination. He votes away the 4th and uses the 5th religiously.
Some Constitutional scholar, eh?
I get a belly laugh every time I think about Laurence Tribe call him a brilliant student. He majored in Bullshit.
Speaking technically, that is.
What ‘pig policies’ would those be, Obama? His opposition to torture? Or his support for immigration reform? Or his support for the surge which Obama has flip-flopped on? Or his support for campaign finance reform? Or his respect for women?
Oh it was a WORM? We kind of forgot about those. (What Obama Really Meant for those new to this democratic sham of an election)
i was watching fox (lord help me) and they played
the macaca moment of Allen. And seriously that didn’t look like a big deal to me at all. The pig comment went right up my spine (and not in a good way). So if the macaca moment wiped allen out of a senate race (poof, he’s gone) then this should put Obama out. I just assume that to some people the macaca moment was deeply offensive. Well, the pig comment (and the fish comment) were deeply offensive to a lot of people as well. So let’s play fair.
Equity to my ex party the Dems. Same rules for dems that we insist on for Repubs. Out with the haters!
Out with Obama!
I say that tonight, on Letterman, Oblahblah will show again to the nation what a pathological liar he is. First for the lies and then for justifying them or trying to rationalize them. Watch
Here you can watch the video Obama at Letterman tonight:
http://lateshow.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow/video_player/index/php/964805.phtml
Piggate is all over the media tonight; All the media seem to be saying that McCain is making something out of nothing. I think those of us who were up close and personal with the Obama campaign in the primary see this GE campaign with a new set of lenses and they are colored by a mean and ugly Obama past encounter. I give the man no quarter and am easily convinced that his intent is always to smear, belittle, and destroy.
Stupid people have been on the msm (and I mean repubs… it’s obvious the dems are closing ranks on every idiotic move obama makes). These repubs like Huckabee (jackass,jackass,jackass) have said that Obama didn’t mean anything by it. Well, of course when you’re someone like Huckabee, when would you ever notice blatant sexism? But is it too much to ask that repub surrogates not get in the way of McCain getting his message out. Is it too much to ask that if jerks like Huckabee have a different opinion than McCain– that they not eat up air time and screw things up?
I know, I know Huckabee needs the camera time, the hot lights, to keep growing the hair on his knuckles.
Since you linked to me, I guess I should get to have my say.
There was indeed a problem with people calling Hillary shrill - and if I recall it was mostly those on the right who dubbed her “Shillary.” Much as I tilted horns with Obama’s supporters, it was the rightwingers who called Hillary that, not them.
On the other hand, I believe most people realize that Obama was referring to policy not to Sarah Palin when he made the statement about putting lipstick on a pig. In fact, that quote is a well known colloquialism which has been used by many people, including a boss of mine back in 1992 - long before anybody ever heard of Sarah Palin. In fact, John McCain used the very same expression to describe Hillary Clinton’s health care plan.
Oh yes, and although Hillary was my first choice, I agree with her, “No McCain, no way.” And that goes double for Sarah Palin.
She’s a serial liar and a serial flip flopper. She supported the Bridge to Nowhere before she opposed it and she hired a lobbyist to bring home the bacon to Wasilla - she did not fight pork.
must…list…obama…talking..points…must..resist…urge…to…think….
“must…list…obama…talking..points…must..resist…urge…to…think….”
haha. Attention: All O-bot junior grade replicants please report to Daily Kos for talking points and troll assignments.
Oh but it’s Ok for all the Pork Obama has pulled in and it’s OK for Obama to funnel millions of taxpayer dollars to his convicted friend Rezko. The slums Obama claimed to be watching out for raped to the point of shambles by him and Rezko. That’s OK, right?
Go ahead and vote for the fraud. When your family is no longer safe in our great country don’t come crying to us…
this is a symptom of an abused women
that was a reference to anon is a woman. her words reek of that of an abused woman who stands by her man
You would think that the people who lived in Rezko’s slum buildings without heat or running water would come forward to talk about this.
Do you really believe what you just wrote? The largest amount off hate came straight out of the blogs on obama’s campaign site, I still have the copies, and I will never forget the pure bald face lie of racism toward fellow democrats. You don’t recall, or is this just a convenient moment of forgetfulness? Please, no takers here. I get it, you need to believe what you wrote.
the oborg has taken this one…
Bullshit. The lefty blogs called her Shillary all day long, as well as the lovely “Hillary CLITnon” Then like their master, they would claim “Oops, typo! *snicker*”
Don’t hand me that crap. I had more vitriol aimed at me as a Hill supporter then I EVER had aimed from the right. The bloggers on Obama’s OWN BLOG had comments saying she needed to get on her knees and suck Rev. Wrights big black dick. That she needed to be knifed and stuffed in a car trunk. It took us THREE DAYS of calling and complaining before those tidbits got scrubbed from his OWN site.
I had dear friends screamed at by Obama staffers WEARING BADGES in Denver that they and Hilary were c*nts who ought to be raped with jackhammers.
So STFU with your pious “but the right did it toooooo, and worse!” bullshit. Obama and his campaign know damn well what his little minions were doing out here during the primaries, and it was violent, ugly, and pure hate.
You are full of shit.
HA HA HA
You must of gotten the petition from the corrupt DNC asking the media to call Palin a “serial liar.” And you bought it!
Idiot!
OK, you think Obama was smart enough not to actually call Palin a pig.
Perhaps. But evidently not smart enough to not - sorta kinda imply some, hey, not my fault if that’s the inference you get - snark on it.
Face it. He’s been a dismal whinny flop. He’s had his nine lives. Time for him to go.
Obama knows Palin just had “tea with” a bunch of folks there in Alaska after she won the “Beauty contest” they called the Governor’s race.
What sickens me about this whole thing is that this is no longer a presidential race. This is a show. And the media is the one pulling the strings. Why on earth is Obama still in the race? Because it is entertaining. And don’t forget the ratings. If he drops in the polls now, then the interest drops and that is no good, for the ratings. So this tightrope and charade will be playing out until November.
Blaah. Count me out. Done.
Obama on Letterman: As explained by CBS
“Keep in mind, technically, had I meant it this way, [Palin] would be the lipstick. The failed policies of John McCain would be the pig, just following the logic of this illogical situation,” Obama said.
Earlier in the day, Obama accused Republican McCain’s campaign of using “lies and phony outrage and Swift-boat politics” in claiming he used a sexist comment against Palin.
So now he admits the lipstick comment WAS about Palin.
obama kind of has the vulcan mind fuck thing going, doesn’t he? I wasn’t in the church, I didn’t hear it, I did hear it– but he didn’t say it, I was there but I wasn’t there…
blah,blah,blah..
and now since it was such a big hit with the church stuff, he’s gonna pull it on the pig stuff?
what’s that thing from star wars where the jedi knights try to do that mind control thing?
I realize it works on weak minds like the media and david letterman. but it’s not working on women (well besides very very strange women).
Thank you Larry for pointing out how words do matter and the proponent of yet another old saying, such as THAT, can’t turn around and say words don’t. But then that also doesn’t fit with a CLEAN campagin.
I’m impressed by your honesty in this post. Most people (esp men) don’t have the confidence to write about such things, which is why Bozo can get away with his misogynistic slurs. He is SO rude that people would rather pretend he meant Palin is lipstick and McCain is fish (or whatever his lame bullshit excuse was).
The Roman poet/philosopher Lucretius wrote about women’s vaginal odors in his book, De Rerum Natura, in 50 BCE in a factual and objective way.
I can’t think of another instance.
really hate to prolong this unpleasant discussion, but men stink down there too; it’s just that women don’t go around constantly talking about that kind of vulgar stuff so you don’t hear about it as much. let’s not add to the sexism while supposedly decrying it.
in fact, far too much has probably been said already; frankly it’s best to let barky’s words speak for themselves and let voters come to the inevitable conclusion by themselves. let’s not overplay the sexism card like the obamacrats overplayed the racism card.
Puh-Leeze…
My dogs find me fascinating.
Democrats are on a bridge to nowhere…
ha, LOL

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:

Center Day.
Yep, that’s the 1st bill he ever sponsored.
Trooper admits he Tasered Palin nephew
http://countusout.wordpress.com/
Mckatmoon, that is why they are melting down. Obama has no plan-b.
Axelrod is an urban strategist. It worked great in the primary when he could steal votes, drop the race bomb in states with a majority black vote.
Palin crushed their gameplan into a million peices and they are trying to pickthe pieces.
They were banking on McCain picking a crotchety old white guy.
McCain kept his pick top secret unlike obama who i think everyone knew he was going to pick biden days before it happened. They leaked their shortlist and gave the dogs a whiff every now and then to keep their vp drama in the news.
McCain played misdirection. He kept hinting at pro-choice running mates and boring guys like romney and pawlenty to lead everyone even his base in the wrong direction.
Then BANG she is on the scene, conservatives are so relieved and excited they are ready to help Mac win this.
Obama and reporters were totally threw for a loop. That is why they kept saying she was not vetted, because she wasn’t. By them anyhow.
Obama thought Hillary would get him just enough of her supporters and that most pro-choicers would come home he could do the damn thing. Palin was like someone pressing reset and spotting McCain 7 points in a game to 11.
He is back on his heels and another mistake by him or his party and he is out. McCainomania has taken over and McCain proved when the heat is on he exceeds beyond belief. Obama, not so much.
You really think so? I tell you I am very concerned about voter fraud, particularly with tricking students. The game they are playing right now is letting the students believe they can register where they go to school, if it’s away from their home state, which they can do, and it won’t affect them, if they are an independent student. But, if they are dependent(on their parents tax forms, and being sponsored by federal student loans as dependent) they will cause their parents to lose their ability to claim them, they will also lose their status as dependent putting them in a different student aid bracket. You can see how they may try to fix this problem, by registering to vote again in their home state if it’s found out, they won’t be able to vote because registering twice is a big no-no. If they aren’t found out, then come the following semester, or tax time, there are going to be some big problems, I forget to mention, they will also have to possibly start paying the student loan back, if going from dependent to independent(only on some loans) This will also give them one hell of a bad taste about voting, but we know who will be blamed for it. And finally guess who will get stuck with the bankrupt loans… especially if they were guaranteed by Fannie May, which some of them are(not the private Sallie Mae loans).
Nice analysis. And think of the implications. Don’t we want this type of shrewedness when dealing with our enemies? Or do we want the bumbling, indecisive, coddled Obama?
Now a DailyKos blogger is claiming that Bristol Palin’s child’s father is actually black.
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/9/10/203938/972/700/594263
Yes, this was noted above. I have captured an image of the full page:
Full page copy of Daily Kos Page on Bristol
Disgusting.
You mean one of the people from that large African American group in Alaska they were complaining was non existant?
hmmm
Me thinks we need to start calling Obama and his apologists Both Ways Barry!
If the father of Bristol’s baby is black, that rules out Obama!
And what if the father is black? What difference does it make? He/She (baby) is still an innocent gift from God. People need to back off the candidates families.
OMG, can we have Hillary back NOW please
Daily KOS has spun into total irrelevance. They are just masterbating themselves over there.
Right. That makes no sense. We’ll all know the race of the child once it’s born. So what are they going to say when Bristol’s child comes out lily white? Start spreading a rumor that she switched the mulatto kid with an adopted white child? This just gets more ridiculous by the minute.
Are there any trolls lurking who are about the bail on Obambam? Any who bailed very recently? Please let us know what you are thinking. We promise we won’t bite.
If ’serial flip flopping and serial lying’ are issues with you then perhaps you should just sit this one out because BO wrote the book on those techniques.
Some dem was telling S. Smith that he didn’t think the average American thought much of BO’s comment, and Smith replied, “No? You should read the emails I’m getting about this.”
ALL ABOARD! The Stop Obama Express. A great site for Anti-Obama Fun, videos, pictures, quotes and more. Check it out at http://www.StopObamaExpress.com

HELLO MCCAIN CAMPAIGN:
please get your surrogates on msm asap. The surrogates who have some intelligence like the congresswoman from TN who is in your Palin action group. get these freakin people on and have them
push the pig/lipstick story. do not let these repub clowns on who are being apologists for obama.
get your message out there and be firm and do not waver and stand up to these pendejo pseudo journalists. this is going to stop obama. This will be it if you stand up for this story.
I think McCain is passed the lipstick story, I bet they are working on new commercials for tomorrow - like Biden saying HRC should be president
Don’t let Olbermann hear you say you ……want Obama dead.
Hillary said Obama’s comment was “in no way meant as an affront” and accusing McCain’s campaign of trying to “divert attention away from challenges facing Americans.”
Hillary is saying what she has to but does not believe it. But you knew that and posted that comment anyway. Silly troll.
Look I was (and would still like Hillary as the Demo. candidate); And I understand that she is pretty much being force to help BO. But I have to honestly say that if she keeps this up much longer, I will lose all respect for her. She is cheaping herself. She does not have to go there. She won the primary and her voter well be here for her again, but not if she keeps this up.
Hillary’s remarks are disappointing.
But the truth is, as much as I hate to say this, We can’t PROVE his intention with that remark. That’s what’s so damn frustrating about these kinds of situations.
I know what he meant. You all know he meant to say it. But there’s absolutely no way we can PROVE it.
We also have to face the facts that Hillary is not going to say or do anything that might be misconstrued.
So ‘pig gate’ is over.
McCain and the Republicans need to let what they have on 0bama fly. He keeps alluding to it. He said it again today that he’s “not going to let anyone imply that he doesn’t love this country.” He knows that the Repubs have the goods and he’s prepping everyone for it.
It’s probably best McCain let this go because it’s going nowhere. 0bama still has the msm in his back pocket.
And it’s probably best that we do too. For the time being.
The last thing we want to do is weaken the effect of the coming attacks against this prick.
OK, I can agree with that. It had its day of coverage, and probably opened a few more eyes to the idiocy of the Obama enablers in the media. Time to let it go now.
Calling a criticism a “diversion” or a “distraction” is quintessential Obama boilerplate. Hillary is reciting it in mocking echo of Narcissus. This is mythic with a Clinton twist.
It was you Obama folks who told us Hillary was a scoundrel who should definitely be ignored. We’ll tell you why we changed our minds if you tell us why you changed yours.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyrMS6MBuSg
If Clinton had won, there would have been some Obama people who would have refused to support her. I supported Obama and I would have told them they were idiots for even thinking about not voting for Hillary. Whatever my problems with Hillary, they are very small compared to my problems with McCain/Palin. The Clintons feel the same way which is why they will be supporting Obama.
No Hillary and Bill both know and knew Barky couldn’t and can’t get elected. They’re simply getting ready for 2012. Getting them little duckies all in a row. The DNC will be eating crow bigtime and it will be served A la Clinton. Trust me. No one will remember who the frig Obama is in a couple of years.
see candidate x candidate y statement made by bill clinton
Just a suggestion. Maybe send out via email. What do you think?
We all have old lipsticks in our make-up bags that we need to get rid of so let’s send them to the Democratic Party or local Dem leaders (maybe even MSNBC & CNN):
Mailing Address:
Democratic National Committee
430 S. Capitol St. SE
Washington, DC 20003
Wonderful, hahaha, I love it. Since we can’t send old fish.
That is a stupendous idea! Inundate those bastards with them. Hahahaha!
I think they moved the DNC to Ochicago home of the “least corrupt” government in the USA. Ask Rezko he will vouch for this.
How quickly I forget they’ve moved. Just media outlets, but I think lipstick in prison would at least get him a constant supply of cigarettes.
yeah, I’d bypass the democratic party– I haven’t heard back from the 50,000 petitions we sent asking for Dean to resign, etc.,etc.,etc.
I like your idea of sending them to the media. I would hit fox, as they are possibly the only ones who would report any kind of story on it.
Good point. I’ll see if they’ll post it with addresses on the justsaynodeal page so that everyone can just copy and paste and send to everyone on their email list and encourage those people to pass it along.
great idea!
Many lipsticks come in metal containers which may set off metal detectors. Maybe not such a good idea. However, I already drafted a note in lipstick saying, Nobama, read my lipstick.
Community organizing! Run for something!
Actually, I don’t want to waste good lipstick on them and I think they’ll catch on fairly quickly….well, maybe not. My plan, however, is to tear out lipstick ads from old magazines and stuff the postage paid DNC/BO contribution envelopes with them and mail back.
Obama Brags President Clinton to hit campaign trail for him
“There’s nobody smarter in politics,” Obama said on CBS’ “Late Show with David Letterman,” scheduled to air Wednesday night. “And he is going to be campaigning for us over the next eight weeks, which I’m thrilled by.
http://countusout.wordpress.com/
I thought Bill was a racist, Obambam?
I hope Bill goes all over the South and tells everyone that that the world will love us because we gave a black man the nomination.
I can picture this in my head: Clinton goes before an audience and they are wondering “Why is this racist supporting Obama?”
LOL that’s true, but Hillary, he didn’t worry about that when he was smearing you and bubba now didn’t he. tell that little pig he needs to root or die,no pun intended.
becky, McCain is not the reason the last 8 years have been rocky.
If you were not such an angry leftist you would realize that.
With John McCain as president i believe we will be safe and prosperous.
With Obama, i see him more as GWB.
Also, let me ask you something about change. If a candidate pushes policy that has been tryed and been around since in some case the 30’s and in most cases 70’s. Would you call that change?
Because all of Obama’s policy’s are the same junk that got carter to lose reelection. And things such as Universal Healthcare has been around since the thirties.
Obama is a tyoical tax and spend liberal.
His tax cut for “95%” of working americans is not a tax cut at all. It is a 500 dollar giveaway. It is welfare. It goes to poeple who do not even pay income taxes. It is also a one shot deal, like the stimulus check. but, i guess welfare is cool for dems, you don’t to EARN money. Obama will just give it to you.
He is proposing over one trillion dollars in new spending and only tells how he is going to pay for 1/4 of it. Thats not change. It is the same liberal agenda that has lost every election. Bill Clinton won because he was a centrist with centrist policy.
On the other hand, McCain is offering workers an increase in EIC of $7000. That is the biggest tax break in american history.
He is going to cut our corporate tax rate which is the 2nd highest in the world by ten percent. He is goin to capital gains tax right where it is Obama has said he will raise it as high as 28 percent.
Also, do you know obama’s “universal” Health Care plan covers illegal aliens? 15 million of them.
That is going to be taxed out of my pocket.
If you tax the check cutters and job makers they pass it on to employees and consumers. Obama is a disaster for our country.
Becky if you thought the last 8 years were bad you ain’t seen nothin yet if Obama gets elected.
Paul
Bless you, spot on.

Sarah Palin Gubernatorial Debate with Frank Murkowski November 2, 2006 in Anchorage, Alaska.
http://fightthepalinsmears.com/speeches/sarah-palin-governor-debate-murkowski-november-2-2006/
I know it is really hard to go to KOS but they have a little survey going asking if you think it matters if the baby father’s black? So far…..
Who cares is winning…..I think we should grow that number.
Done
[Administrator: Comment removed for inappropriate content]
stupid troll.
Stop it, leave,
What has happened in this election makes our presidential race look more like a Hollywood scoop than an actual election process. I resent the hell out of the DNC and O campaign for making our country look small because of these idiots. thank you Obama for telling the rest of the world you think we are all bigots, thank you also for announcing to the rest of the world you think females are somehow less than human.
What I want to know is how is your smug ass going to fake patriotism tomorrow? Like you care. Good luck on that one. Kinda like pretending to care about the military but no time for hospital visits. I need to point out to you MR. O the only people with “Fuck ME” stamped on their foreheads are your supporters.
about palin and earmarks to the knucklehead above.
As a mayor for 6 years Palin got 27 million in earmarks, obama on the other hand in less than 3 years has requested 932 million in pork, and she opposed the bridge in the end.
She would never had to even speak of a bridge if Obama and Joe Biden did not vote for it. She didn’t ask for the bridge and when she became governor she put the nail in its coffin.
You can say she was for it before she was against it but WHO CARES. She was for it before she governor. When she became governor she canceled.
Also, yes she has fought earmarks. SHE HAS VETOED OVER 500 MILLION IN PORK AS GOVERNOR. That is more pork vetoed per day by palin than pork Obama has requested per day.
Anonymous women, get your facts right.
Obama has been for and against himself this entire race and you do not seem to mind.
You can quote cute phrases from Hillary but Obama is still a narcissistic pathological liar. A threat to our country.
98% of Alaska is federal land. They had better fork over a lot of dough to the state when they own the lion’s share of the property tax base.
paul3triple –
you are a house on fire!! thanks for all of your posts. great job.
How embarassing. All Obama has in defense are his “eight elections in a row” that he won in red states where Hillary did not even bother and which happened months ago?
The boy peaked ……… months ago. And now even he admits this. And in red states no lesss.
He is being pathetic. How embarassing. How wonderful.
The comments in that Matthew Yglesias thread about Obama flipping the bird to Hillary, wiping the shit off his shoes, are shocking. I thought I’d seen everything.
From Jennifer Rubin:
In the Lipstick Controversy I accused Barack Obama of objectifying Sarah Palin — reducing her to the status of a lady’s cosmetic. I was right. From his appearance on Letterman, Obama declares:
“Keep in mind that, technically had I meant it this way –- she would be the lipstick!”
Well that clears that up. My only question: Has he gone stark, raving mad? This is supposed to help him, suggesting that rather than an animal it is just a decorative accessory which pops to mind when he thinks of his opponent’s running mate? Someone, anyone with a modicum of common sense, needs to sit him and Joe Biden down and tell them to stop. Just stop. It’s too painful to watch.
They are the gaffer twins.
Uh uh you see she’s the lipstick, not the pig.
Oh gee Barry, when you put it that way ITS EVEN MORE OFFENSIVE!

Feck I knew Chavez was bad news.
Screw the parties!
We need to think about competency and historical references.
Who do you think is ready on “Day One?” Who has the better chance of real reform, of bucking the status quo? Who has shown the moxie, the guts to do just that, to push against the wall of indifference, to push even when the odds are against that individual, who doesn’t give a damn what the rest of the world thinks, who is willing to take a risk, even when it’s against his/her best interest?
Who is willing to throw it against the wall, everything, anything, on the basis of honor, respect and that ancient notion of integrity for right or wrong convictions? Who is willing to be humble in the wake of enormous responsibility and the weight of other lives and futures riding on your individual, personal decisions?
Who is ready and able to take that responsibility? Who is ready without a frigging doubt to be POTUS?
I know my choice. Do you?
I thought I did until McCain’s campaign started this lipstick crap. That does not help with Independent voters.
Joy, I’m an Independent and I am definitely voting for McCain. And I saw Obama’s lipstick reference as a slap to Palin. We were eating supper and my husband just about choked and said “did he say what I thought he said, geez, how stupid of him”. So I know my indy friends and I are voting McCain, that’s who we trust, Period.
Sounds like Barack is reverting back to his Muslim roots. He probably wants to chop Sarah’s hands off and put a burqa on her head.
Am I the only person in the universe who does not get the fish thing? I have a vagina, I’ve eaten fish, and I just do not get the supposed similarity.
McCain/Palin 08 …
If you want to insult a woman you say her vagina smells like old fish. If a woman has sex and doesn’t clean herself, she supposedly starts to smell like old fish. A vile and tasteless comment. Obamabots and Bushbots alike have used that slur against women. I’ve had it said to me here at NQ. If a guy ever said that to my face, I’d snap his neck.
What makes me feel sorry for you is I think you actually believe this is what Obama meant.
I don’t give a shit about what you think or about Obama. He is so far out of his league that it’s just pitiful now. I’m not even worried about him anymore. I’m just beyond livid that this poor excuse of a nominee has the nerve to continue this farce. If he was a real man he’d step down and let the adults take over.
The polls are close and the betting markets still have him ahead. The McCain convention bounce is almost gone and it is basically tied. Obama is still the favorite, so it could get much worse for you.
Is that an MSNBC poll you are quoting — are you kidding me?
Good luck with that.
I have to admit, the very first time I heard the audio of Obama’s remark, that’s exactly what I thought. I don’t think he actually meant it that way, but the perception is devsatating.
that is usually the kind of stuff men say behind women’s backs. just bho is not that smart
I do think it would have been okay for Obama to use McCain’s own words, i.e. “lipstick on a pig”, against McCain provided Sarah Palin NEVER referred to herself and other hockey moms as “pit bulls” with “lipstick”.
It’s abundantly clear from the audience’s striking reaction that they knew exactly what Obama was getting at.
LOL. Had the situation been in reverse, no doubt the bots would be called it race-baiting.

I wouldn’t care one way or the other if Bristol is pregnant with a black man’s baby instead of her fiance’s. It’s a family issue. Is that the worst thing they can dig up? I mean after all, Obama’s mother was impregnated by a black man. This would not change my mind about Palin. I’m sure Palin is being truthful about what she is aware of. Geesh..Obama’s followers are acting as if it’s a bad thing that the father may be black. What’s up with that?

I feel like I’m in the last days of the Roman Empire.
Obama/Biden 08
Actually, it’s your boy’s campaign that’s falling apart. The clock has struck midnight, and Obama’s beautiful carriage has turned into the pumpkin we always knew it was.
You are and your Obama is leading you like a tiger fight in the arena.
I don’t see this media war on women as an insignificant issue at all. Au contraire.
The country isn’t even close to “falling apart,” you idiot. You Obamabots are so out of touch with what’s really going on in the world.
I can’t wait for the GOP to start firing the heavy artillery at this fraud.
At this rate, they won’t have to.
There is no penalty in politics for Piling On.
I wnt the RNC to send Oblahblah and the DNC into eternal oblivion.
More obama plagerism.

The country is falling apart and all people can talk about is pigs and lipstick. Very sad.
It is a tragedy that the Democratic party failed to nominate the candidate who is equipped to tackle these problems, and who would have campaigned on the issues, instead of nominating a candidate who campaigned as Mr. Popularity.
I wonder what outcome you guys expected.
If Oblahblah really wanted to discuss “Issues”, he could have had the 14 Town Hall Meetings with McCain.
Oblahbah is scared to death to actually debate issues, so all he can do is insult, and pretend it’s the other side that is slinging the mud.
If Oblahblah want to debate issues instead of Pig Lips, why is he the one making Pig Lip Comments?
If Oblahblah wants to stop the discussion abot Pig Lips, why is he the one who keeps the conversation going?
When it gets down to the issues, the republicans are done for. They’ve got nothing, and they damn well know it.
I’m counting the days until the debates.
By the way, you can put lipstick on Hannity and he’d still be a total idiot. I wouldn’t insult a pig with a comparison.
I see…. So how do you explain the refusal of Mr “I’ll have that debate with John McCain any time, any place” to have any of the 14 Town Halls with McCain.
Oblahblah was for them before he was against them.
Oblahblah and Imbibin have nothing and YOU damn well know it!
Strategy.
The strategic time to debate was after the conventions and after the vice presidential candidates were known. And closer to Election Day. There will be little time to spin what the viewers see and hear. Everything will be fresh in the viewers’ minds.
That strategy was not to overexpose Oblahblah’s stuttering. Maybe you have not seen him in debates. He was a sight to behold at Saddleback.
Howard Fineman, certified Oblahblah cheerleader, has called Oblahblah’s refusal to meet with McCain in Townhalls a “strategic error”.
Sure, I’ve seen Obama speaking extemporaneously on many occasions. He’s good at it.
Some who watched the Saddleback interviews seem to believe they were watching a debate, rather than a question and answer session. Obama focused on his interviewer throughout, treating the audience as interested spectators. McCain took a different approach, using questions as cues for mini-campaign pitches he addressed to the audience and television cameras. I actually appreciated Obama’s informal presentation rather more than John McCain’s.
Yeah, for a with the maturity and oise of 12 year old.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8cNtH1mULo
No, Saddleback was “above his paygrade”. The problem is that he is wright. The presidency is above his paygrade. Hell being a senator is above his paygrade.
The whitey tape exists, and most democratic leaders know it. That was the emminent October suprise Harold Ickes was talking about. It was uncovered by Guliannis opposition research team. They are already crafting a defense. They are going to say Michelle Obama was saying “Why did he” and not “whitey”
You mean with all of Obama’s relationships with notorious figures, her defense isn’t just a dismissive: “Oh, I was referring to our friend, Whitey Bulger“?
I mean when you have a 20+ year relationship with Ayers and people don’t care, what’s the harm of claiming you’re friends with someone who is wanted for extortion, murder, and money laundering?
It seems like a plausible defense in response to the Whitey tape for
Bonnie & ClydeMO & BO.“Why did he” ROFL
If anything happens to Obama, there will be hell on earth. Obama has unleashed some kind of evil and vile. If their “Chosen One” is harm, we will have major riots and anarchy. God will have to intervene.
[...] not forget some other folks have also witnessed double entendre from Obama. Larry Johnson over at No Quarter brought back the events and cynicism. Remember that infamous rally January 2008 covered by [...]
From the Wall Street Journal (not the editorial page:
“In the letter, written before Sen. John McCain picked the Alaska governor as his running mate, former U.S. Attorney Wevley Shea warned Gov. Palin that “the situation is now grave” and recommended that she and her husband, Todd Palin, apologize for “overreaching or perceived overreaching” for using her position to try to get Trooper Mike Wooten fired from the force.”
so what?
Uh, she broke the law and abused here power to settle a family dispute. So what? You must be a Bush supporter.
Uh, you must be in favor of tasing ten year olds.
Go ahead, wacko. Defend it.
It’s the invasion of the oPods.
If it was for punishment or something it couldn’t be defended.
The fact that a taser instructor gave a kid under very controlled circumstances what amount to a small shock might not be great judgement, but it is hardly heinous.
Judge much?
He said that he was a new Taser instructor, and his stepson was asking him about the equipment. “I didn’t shoot him with live, you know, actual live cartridge,” Wooten said.
Instead, he said, he hooked his stepson up to a training aid “with little clips. And, you know, the Taser was activated for less than a second, which would be less than what you would get if you touched an electric fence. … It was as safe as I could possibly make it.”
He said his stepson was on the living room floor surrounded by pillows, that he “was bragging about it,” and that the family laughed about it.
Palin knew about the taser and other allegations long before her family brought it to the attention of authorities. In fact, her father was present when he illegally shot a moose. She only cared when her sister got into a custody battle with the guy. The charges were looked at and he was punished. She continued to use her power to intervene in the process. That is abuse of power. Does that help?
Nonsense.
An electric fence charger, like the one I use on horse fencing or in my fruitless attempts to keep racoons out of my sweet corn, delivers 2500 or so volts.
Tasers deliver 50-300KV minimum and up to 900-1000KV on a bad (for the stepson) day.
I’m wondering about the 1,000 governmental e-mails she has refused to release. She claims executive privilage and a need for govenmental confidentiality, but her husband was a carbon copy recipient of all of them, which throws doubt on the executive privilage claim. Probably it’s nothing more than an intesting side note.
prove it link please….
we are wondering why your here we are not interested in your spin
The Pods have their orders. And the link would probably go to
Romper Roomthat orange site.There’s nothing to prove. The withheld e-mails are a simple matter of fact. There’s nothing to indicate what the content might be, so I’m not alleging anything.
The public information request was made by an Alaska Republican activist, btw–not by democrats.
BTW, I made an inaccurate statement when I said her husband was a recipient of all of them. I see from an article I just found that he was a carbon copy recipient of only 40 of some 1,100. My mistake. I’d heard the story on the news but hadn’t verified the details.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/09/AR2008090903044.html
So you’ve got nothing but innuendo.
Par for the course.
My son-in-law is a cop and he said that no one in their right mind would taser a child even as an experiment.
at least there is some record of her service, unlike Obama, who apparently saved nothing from all his years in the state senate.
i’m wondering about that.
I wonder how Obama gets anything done he’s always stumping his worm theories….
he will never get in power as he spends all day throwing out gaffs and trying to smooth them over then he has to get with you lot to run around the WWW throwing out more rubbish
What a waste of time and space
Those emails are on “PERSONAL ACCOUNTS”, not her .GOV email account.
There is no precident requiring any public employee to release PERSONAL email correspondence.

A drunk trooper is like a drunk vp at a guess?
Of course he knew what he was doing and yes he does this in a manner so he can disown it when he’s called out.
But, the one that is way more obvious is the Fish comment. Ya know I think the Media isn’t using the Fish because the kind of derogatory term it is and what it implies about women. You should force the media to cover the fish. Deal with it. Yes it’s nasty and that’s why it should be covered!
I do not understandwhy the media is not picking up on the “Fish Smell” reference either.
Wait, no… I just figured it out. The Media is only covering the Pig Lips because McCain complained. And now, they are doing jumping in the ring to protect their BABY. They will not cover the FISH SMELL unless McCain points it out, and then only to defend their child.
The FISH SMELL reference is so insultingly sexist, that McCain could not even go there.
Wow has this website really gone down the tubes.
I remember when this was actually a place to find no-spin facts about national security matters.

What are you freaks going to do when, either, Barack wins and he and Hillary make history with a great National Healthcare Plan and nominates Hillary for the Suprme Court — or after McCain wins, Palin becomes VP, McCain dies or leaves after one term and then Palin become President for 8 years — leaving Hillary out in the cold and the US with a neocon foreign politcy and 7 conservative Supreme Court Justices?
What a bunch of idiotic, crybaby patsies for the Right Wing Agenda you are — those of you who are not paid McCain Operatives and trolls.

hey freak cut it ;
But Louise…
We were asked to leave the Democratic Party. They harassed us, threatened us, called us racists. They slashed our tires, threw rocks through our windows.They pretty much showed us the door…
So we left the party, just as you people asked us to.
Now why do you keep coming here to complain about how we left the party? If this is this your way of saying you’re sorry and asking us to come back, it’s not working.
Calm yourself Louise,
I knew you were an Obama supporter immediately when you lowered yourself to starting your comment with an insult. I am a Hillary supporter and I will not vote for Obama. I do not like him and I do not trust him.
I have good intuition and Obama makes the hair on the back of my neck raise.
PUMA BABY!
so, your masthead asks…am i tired of spin?
you bet i am.
but i presume this is a “no spin zone”; and now that we see mccain uses exactly the same phrase that caused you to write this story…in exactly the same context…even calling hillary a pig…i assume you will be reminding mccain that his words also matter.
you can see the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMPYkNQlJMM&NR=1”
i’ll be looking forward to that article…because i am just as tired of spin as you are.
Clearly the Obamabots are scared. Hence they’re going on offense and making an all out assault in the blogosphere in a desparate attempt to dig up a few bleating sheep they can bring back into the fold.
Full panic/meltdown mode, for our late-night amusement.
obama supporters are scared?
i think it’s more that the republican party leadership is scared.
they don’t seem to want you to be talking about your kids’ futures in a world of tax cuts and deficit spending…they don’t seem to want to talk to you about how they will end the waste of lives and money that has accompanied this war…and they most assuredly don’t want to acknowledge that talking about these pigs and madrassas and islam is intended to keep you from talking about issues that affect your wallet.
we went down this road in 2000 and 2004…and to quote ronald reagan: “are you better off now than you were four years ago?”
that’s the biggest thing mccain’s managers don’t want you talking about…and that’s the one thing they are really and truly scared of.
the past eight years have cost you and your children more or less $5 trillion dollars in new national debt…which, like it or not, you and i and your children will be paying for–in the form of taxes–for decades to come.
not to mention the change in the value of our homes and all the new tax obligations that will accompany the fannie mae/freddie mac mess.
and yetwith all that money spent…is america better off now than it was four years ago?
Four years ago?
You mean when President Obama took the temp job in the U.S. Senate?
So… what’s he done for us?
How has his vaunted leadership helped?
Why didn’t he part the seas of red ink
- instead of voting for virtually every Bushbill that came across his desk?
uh…you do know that Bush is not running for President again don’t you?
uh, you do know that Democrat controlled Congress took impeachment off the table didn’t you?
uh, you do know McCain has a 100% record for not requesting earmarks don’t you?
uh, you do know that Palin has cut spending and championed reform in Alaska don’t you?
Doesn’t sound like more of the same to me.
You Obama supporters never mention that Obama sat in a racist, American hating church for 20 years or is friends with a terrorist. Funny how you leave that part out. He also has no executive experience and neither does Biden. How is that good for our future? You people are the ones who better wake up.
we do know democratic members of congress took impeachment off the table, and if you take a quick jaunt to dailykos you’ll quickly discover that it was not appreciated.
you need look no farther than the approval ratings of congress to see that lots of democrats are not at all fond of recent congressional performance.
but that said, take an actual look at the issues.
mccain talks about earmarks as a means to balance the budget…but he also says earmarks equal $20 billion annually.
the deficit is going to crack $450 billion this year, and might hit $500 billion.
all federal spending, except for defense, medicare, social security and interest on the debt is about $300 billion.
so even if all other spending were to be cut to zero…you still have a deficit.
on top of that, mccain proposes tax credits for health insurance, further increasing the deficit.
beyond that, he proposes more tax cuts. it is unlikely that reducing the government’s income will reduce the deficit.
all of that suggests that a mccain administration will follow the exact path of continued deficits followed by increased national debt that we have had for the past 8 years.
you may say to me: “obama will tax everyone under $42,000″.
two comments.
first, no he ain’t. as it turns out, it is possible to return the tax rates on the highest income earners to exactly what they were in 1999…and in the process, to pay for tax cuts for most wage earners making under $250,000.
which is obama’s propposal.
secondly, we are, like it or not, going to have to pay off the $5 trillion in new debt we accumulated these past 8 years.
if we do not raise taxes somewhere, somehow…then that burden will be passed to your children and grandchildren.
it appears mccain is finding problems in his own plan and projections. this, from the international herald tribune via yale university:
“…When McCain spoke about his tax plan in April, he cited the faltering economy in saying that it might take two terms to balance the budget, explaining that “economic conditions” are reversed. Since then, he seems to have refined some of his earlier tax cut plans. While his campaign once spoke then of repealing the alternative minimum tax, which is aimed at the wealthy but has increasingly ensnared middle-class taxpayers, his advisers now speak of “phasing out” the plan. And they now say that his proposal to let corporations write off their equipment expenses more quickly would be temporary…”
http://yaleglobal.yale.edu/display.article?id=11088
it seems to me that paying off your debts is the kind of thinking that would seem logical in this conservative community…so if we are not going to pay off the $5 trillion or so in debt we recently have run up with taxes, then how should we pay it off?
that is the kind of question mccain seems unwilling to address; the “outrage of the day” strategy seeming to be more to his preference at the moment.
merciless,
all those emails are probably down the rabbit hole with Obama’s records, birthcert., Indonesian citizenship records, school records, passports, transcripts, Illinois senate voting records, Rezko transactions (deals), contribution records from Hamas, Kenya.
Howard Fineman, certified Oblahblah Cheerleader, has just discovered that “Obama’s an arrogant S.O.B.,”.
Welcome to our world Howie. Better late than never.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26640489
Sheesh, did he need someone to tell him that “Oblahblah” (I love that) is an arrogant SOB? I think a lot of us regualr, white trash types had that nailed months ago.
Fineman has been told before. But since he stopped drinking the Kool Aid, he finally heard it.
There’s some truth in there, but overall I see this article as a pathetic attempt by MSNBC to woo back moderate readers and viewers after their recent embarassments (like those “tingly” sensations what’s-his-name gets when he hears Obama speak), and being outted as Obama-worshipping ultra-liberals.
Here is another post on Democrat.org where they refer to Palin as a pig with lipstick.
Barack made his “lipstick comment” with full knowledge of the context, he just never expected to get nailed for it.
It’s just one more example of BO not being straight with the American people.

In addition to being Republican, I am beginning to think this site is also racist.
No baby. That’s what you need to believe.
Wow…challenge Obama and “then suddenly the claws come out.”
I don’t think I’ve ever smelled like fish…I’m not sure where the need to bring douche into this came from, Larry.
I just watched both DEAR MR. OBAMA videos on youtube. I think they are pretty good. I don’t know how to do attachments.
Remember Kevin Nealon on SNL as “Mr. Subliminal”? The joke was that his so-called subliminal words were not subliminal, but perfectly audible. In other words, he was telling us his subtext and pretending it was subliminal so as to have deniability, as if he never said the subtext out loud.
But we don’t need “Annie Hall” style subtitles to know what Barack’s subtext is. He thinks we’ll get the message, but he can deny the rather obvious hidden meaning. Oh, isn’t he too clever. Yes, too clever by half.
It is good to remember that the first screen shot of text was lifted from Deval Patrick who was one of Axelrod’s first disciples up here in MA…Deval sucks as a governor. It will surprise me if Mac doesn’t do respectably in MA as a result.
The D’s DID NO OPPOSTION RESEARCH on Palin, that is why they are up in Alaska with Shovels right now….
Gee, who’s fault is it that the Dem’s were caught with their pants down??? Yep, this is real change we can believe in…
The Dem’s real problem is the pig dressed up as a woman on their web site, ………That is Palin.
and the fish could be MAC , but it is not uncommon for Ladies of a certain age to remember when women were compared to fish in the past…
That said, I think the Pub’s should drop it for NOW(pun intended) and hit them with a round of ammo tomorrow.
You have to be quick, like obama they will scrub anything embarressing off their web site.
The blantant plagiarism aspect aside, I think the under discussed issue with Barack (and Deval’s) “just words” appeal is this.:
The great men who spoke or wrote “I have a dream”, “ask not what your contry can do for you, ask what you can do for your country”, “we have nothing to fear, but fear itself”, and “we hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal”, had already backed up those “words” with ACTIONS.
These men all displayed great courage and dedication to country, JFK putting his life on the line as a war hero, MLK working, suffering and putting his life on the line for Civil Rights, FDR battling polio, and Thomas Jefferson and all the signers of the Declaration of Indepedence putting themselves in grave peril of execution to fight for their new country and its revolutionary Democratic ideals.
These great Americans did not offer “just words” and it was a gross insult to their legacy for Deval Patrick and Barack Obama to arrogantly compare their petty, selfish, little lives to lives of these men.
The DNC has become unrecognizable to me. I guess it’s the Chicago Thugs that have taken it over. MY Democratic party would never stoop this low. MY Democratic party is gone.
Heard on NPR this morning an Obama fan at a rally saying that up to until now Obama had run a “flwless campaign” but that now “Obama is being swiftboated”. That “the media keeps repeating all this lies and half-trues”.
I have a question: how is Obama swiftboated???
Alternative reality…
“Her greatest hypocrisy is in her pretense that she is a woman.”
Wendy Doniger, professor of the history of religions, University of Chicago’s Divinity School, writes that Sarah Palin is not really a woman.
http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/wendy_doniger/2008/09/all_beliefs_welcome_unless_the.html
This professor has to be the idiot of all time. Is this where all the academics go when they can’t get jobs anywhere else? Chicago.
Sick, sick, sick and to think she is trying to educate and enlighten grown children. That must be why the obamabots are so tragic and violent–teachers like Doniger.
The speakers at the Republican Convention turned the “O” into an A-1 laughing stock, and I loved EVERY minute of it!
I knew he would have to strike back, but he was SO lame! Impotency does that to you! Ha!
At one point, after he loses, all this Messiah and Community Organizer baloney will follow him to the “Comedy Hall Of Fame”!
Not me Larry. I’m smell like cotton candy.
Yeah, this is you:

:- )
Urban Dipshit,
Touché. I stand corrected. LOL, despite my thorough skepticism, I guess I still got caught in the corporate media’s echo chamber of self-evident truths.
See, the way I remember the coverage is that they played the clip of Hillary invoking RFK’s assassination a few times, but as usual there was an avalanche of race-baiting spin by the bots–and the corporate media which was deliberately playing it up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB6kAXD4WAA
—Olbermann’s diatribe on the RFK remark. He mentions 3 different invocations of RFK, by Hillary. Two in which she immediately brings up the assassination.
Now, I do agree with that local paper’s characterization that she stumbled into it, however dumbass she did NOT say that “Bill Clinton and RFK were BOTH still in it at this point. Then, acknowledged RFK was killed in CA.”
No douchebag, she immediately brought up the assassination when she cited RFK–in the vid I originally linked and in her March 6th reference to RFK.
W.R.T. this incident, like me, you need to clean out your fucking ears. Indeed, even more so since you claim to have listened to it carefully.
Nice goin’ numnutz.
And just to let you know, Hillary should NOT have brought it up so crassly twice. Why? Because…
1. Politically it was just plain dumb–especially since she “walked into it” not once, but twice.
2. The Kennedy’s have every right to be angry at Hillary for bringing it up like that, including the ones who suppported her.
3. There has been a lot of talk about Obama being assassinated. So much so that…
4. Obama has always retained a personal bodyguard who is NOT a member of the Secret Service. Obama clearly doesn’t trust the Secret Service: His personal bodyguard is black. (Bush-Cheney inexplicably do this too. Although with Bush-Cheney, it obviously has to do with criminal cover-ups of whatever they’re always up to. Mind you, the Starr investigation hauled in a few Secret Service agents to testify against Clinton. They were deemed by the then rightwing Supreme Court as law enforcement officers and hence were not immune from having to testify.)

—Obama and his black personal bodyguard, who still works along side the Secret Service.

WORM time once again.
Pig isa synonymous with pork. Wasteful.
John McCain will be the 109th Congress on steroids.
Fishes rot from the head down.
This is a stick at McCain’s own judgement(Keating, etc.) so it evidences the fact that the walk don’t match the talk.
Too bad Obama doesn’t clarify his own statements when he makes them to avoid controversy. Maybe his teleprompter broke, he should have just ridiculed Miranda rights for all persons, like what the Constitution states.
You know, the Constitution, that document Bush wiped his ass all over the past eight years?
from the friendly Chicago newspaper:
But none of that, none of that, can explain why the words came stammering out of Obama’s mouth the other day.
What was he thinking?
For starters, the Democratic nominee — for all his many positive attributes — is not “just plain folks,” as was only highlighted by his awkward delivery of the intended putdown, and therefore should not pretend to be.
But, more important, Obama knew as well as anyone listening to him that Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has the market cornered on lipstick for this campaign season, even if she puts hers on a pit bull.
By invoking lipstick, Obama invoked Palin. Despite his protestations later, he knew it, or certainly should have known it.
And even though the line got Obama a big laugh from the partisan crowd, which clearly drew the connection, he blew it.
Maybe Obama or his advisers thought he had cover because they knew McCain had used the line in relation to Clinton. If so, they were wrong.
Obama is the one with the image problem, unfairly or not, concerning his dealings with women — the nettlesome aftereffect of his Democratic primary battle with Clinton.
Why are douche and other feminine products advertised on TV? I ask that question all the time Larry.
As for the douche, at least in the last 2 years of primaries and general election now, to remind us Obama is a douche bag with little respect for women….I truly suspect with little respect for anyone but himself. Biden appears to be the same type of person with little respect for women!
The sexist stuff really blows…and what is wrong with the feminists and feminist groups out there that can’t get past someone’s personal beliefs to stick up for them. Since when did anything feminist have anything to do with party affiliation…..I really thought it had to do with Women’s Rights as a whole!
Take me away Calgon!!!!

I’m really, REALLY getting SICK and TIRED of people who look for sexist hidden meanings in every single word that comes out of Obama’s mouth. It’s drummed up, faux outrage, it makes you look petty and weak, and it is an F’ING DISTRACTION from the very real and serious issues facing this country. Do you realize the Russians just sent two bombers to Venezuela for military maneuvers, in retaliation for our sending warship to Georgia? We’re inching towards WWIII and all you can talk about is how you think Obama called someone a name. So please, do us all a favor and CUT THE CRAP.
—————————————————–Excuse me and I am sick of the racial distractions from the Obama campaign that have been going on since the primaries. His campaign creates more distractions than anyone, but blame everyone else. Why would he do that? Because Obama can’t discuss issues and plans. He has none.
ME THINKS MOST AMERICANS ARE TIRED OF THE “OBAMA SHOW” AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT CANCELLED COME NOV. FORTUNATELY WE WILL NOT HAVE TO SEE IT AGAIN IN RERUNS.
