This is an “Oh my god!” post on the race card, in yet another ludicrous instance

REALLY??

I predict a 527 ad on that gaffe if anyone has the balls. It should run in all blue collar swing states so it scare the bejesus out of the bitter white folk.

and you might want to copy in the other networks, too, as I did.

This is outrageous. THESE ARE THE PUBLIC AIRWAVES. What kind of crap to play such biased and false attacks. So much for reporting.

ABC was the last of the networks I was watching. Hello FOX ….

Every time Barky speaks, he weakens his campaign. Here’s to more pontificating from the empty suit. The Big Gaffe is coming. Wait for it….

What a coward. And he thinks he’s going to face Iran.

That is why Fox is the nation’s top-rated cable news channel, they are not in the Tank with Obama.

worm, worm, worm, worm

nobody likes me
everybody hates me
guess I’ll go eat worms

big ones
little ones
fat ones
juicy ones

guess I’ll go eat worms

(yes some of us do remember how to play that on the piano)

never thought I’d be hearing that music in my head when ever OBAMA speaks now days

w.o.r.m.

McCain should just ask the Obama campaign to respond to Michelle Malkin’s areicle about ACORN, the earmarks he directed to TUCC, what he can point to as his accomplishments as a community organizer and how that is better than being the mayor of a town of 9,000 and a PTA mother.

The media is Obama’s worst enemy — he just doesn’t know it yet.

You are absolutely right! To paraphrase a Holly Hunter line from Broadcast News: “I keep repelling those that I’m trying to attract.”

You said your YAHOO news talking points on another thread here St. Francis of Assisi! Go read those comments!

Yaaaahooooo!

McCain/PALIN 08

So what?

Talking Mule Trolls should pull plows and not bray unless directed to. Just shut up, Frank–you have zero to say that would interest anyone here in the slightest.

Yeah, Francis, the media will define her? I think their credibility ship has sailed. Be patient. The Republicans, including Palin, are about to come out in full force. And Obama? Well, er, uh, the bloom is off that rose and he’ll give us more of the same pablum he’s been dishing out all year.

MCCAIN/PALIN ’08

Francis, you sound bitter.

When Obama refused any more debates with Senator Clinton – even though scheduled beforehand – and when he steadfastly refused townhall debates with McCain, I call that HIDING.

And also, you’re WAY OFF-TOPIC in this thread. Or you a bunny rabbit that we’re supposed to chase after instead of the ‘which religion, which card this week’ presidential candidate.

Patience grasshopper. All will be revealed. Hopefully beginning next week.

She has, after all, been campaigning since the convention. Sarah will be back soon, locked and loaded.

You never can stay on topic, mule-boy. Which part of shut-up are you having such difficulty with? Is it the “shut” or the “up”?

Lets try a new phrase on you: Go away. Go, as in leave; away as in “not here”.

MEMO to Fran-Arse:

I think your candidate running for POTUS is Obama and Palin is the VP candidate. But if you want to compare the two that’s fine with me. It just shows how WEAK he is.

Keep trying like the O campaign and maybe you’ll hit on something eventually.

You’re one of the worst trolls!

Stop the hate and keep your word and go!

But if she’s not available by this weekend for a press conference/serious interview, that should tell every clear-headed American her candidacy is a gimmick, and she is obviously not up to the job of VP.

Your attempts at logic are laughable.

Did I miss Biden’s sit down interview?

I thought the same thing about the “barn interview”…which I didn’t watch…just from the YouTube. He looked strange sitting in the barn in a suit and tie. Soooooo out of touch. Wonder if he ever wears jeans? Come to think of it, I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen a Muslim wearing jeans???

HOLLER BACK!

I grew up in Clarksburg, and my home town has become a suburban office park you’d find closer to DC (FBI fingerprinting lab), but WV hasn’t changed much. ?My uncles are in mining and worked down in Boone and Logan. WV has always gone Dem, but there are a few things to keep in mind: the unions got busted up in the late 90′s, the natives of WV serve disproportionately in the military (and I was one of them), there’s tons of Scots Irish in Appalachia that love John McCain and Sarah Palin. Not to mention, Democrats underestimate the common sense of the working class.

It’s all they have left. The race card and painting Palin into the re-incarnation of Phyllis Schlafly.

Can’t believe he still drags out that old speech. Guess he, as so many, likes the victim role. But from which side? Black man or liberal white with a chip on his shoulder and a ton of guilt?

The only problem is the Obama campaign will be hanging on her every word when she speaks on the campaign trail. She has been careful to keep delivering her lines from Dayton and the convention, because the less the opposition can get a lock on her style, the better. Obama has started trying to emulate Clinton more, because he can’t define Palin yet. And her speech is still new enough that she hasn’t worn out her applause lines yet. There are huge demands for her to appear in public, and it’s best if she keeps introducing herself and stealing Obama’s spotlight. Now he just sounds desperate.

WOW

It’s not the end of any party, just like having the religious nuts in the GOP get the nomination for Bush in 2000 was the end of the republican party. We can certainly hope it will be the end of the Dean/Axelrod domination of the democrat party.

Let the lunatics and haters from the left and right leave the mainstream parties and make their own.

Deb, see my comment here:

we’re on the same page

Deb: I went to his web page. It takes some time to find that statement about federal funds being conditional upon a community service plan being adopted and in place for each school. When you read that plan, you also begin to realize why Obama is so defensive about community organizing—to him it is the core of political power and change. If you go a little further and look into the Annenberg Challenge and what happened there, you will find that this thinking comes right out of the school change program that was authored by William Ayres and Dohrn and placed under the chairmanship of Obama. The heart of that proposal is not so much about educational change; it is about changing the politics of inner city schools (some of which I might add probably needed to change). But the A Challenge was about challenging school administrators and teachers. The problem is that in order for people to make effective decisions about schooling they have to learn something about schooling; adversarial governance whether it is administrators against teachers, teachers against admin, parents against either of these and/or students the environment of anger and conflict does nothing for learning.

hey look, here is a man Obama helped:

a. hillary
b. mccain

america first!

Note: Obama never would have won the nomination without his incessant and divisive race-baiting of Hillary. Recall that Hillary had a 2:1 advantage in the black vote as late as early January. By race-baiting, he stole the once loyal and adoring blck vote again from the Clintons, away from Hillary.

Generally, race-baiting is political suicide for minority candidates. Why did Obama’s race-baiting work during the primaries?

1. The demographics of the Democratic primary process are very different from the general election. It consists of blacks, women activists, labor activists, anti-war activists, and in particular for this election as MSNBC’s Chuck Todd asserts from reading the exit polling in Pennsylvania, white liberals who want the ugly past of slavery and Jim Crow behind us.

There were some states, pretty much hard core Republican red states, where the black vote was 50%–even 60% of the democratic primary voters. Compare this to the general population where blacks comprise a mere 12.5%. Clearly, African Americans are disproportionately powerful during the primary process.

Obama’s race-baiting during the primaries gave him a coalition of based mostly on black voters and white liberals. This forced Hillary to increase the white voter turnout, but then again, she had a 2:1 advantage in the Hispanic vote, the Asian vote, and probably the Native American vote, contrary to the all-black-crime-all-the-time coporate media’s “narrative” that she was a racist white bitch.

2. The corporate media and the GOP were greedily piling-on the entire time, desperate to get the Clintons out of the picture. Obama never won a single argument against Hillary on his own. He was always assisted. This includes that gas tax holiday debate before N. Carolina and Indiana, where there was a tsunami of Hillary bashing and dubious quoting of economists. (Note: On the economic front, the gas tax holiday was a gimmick, but fuck the economists. Why? Because there’s political dimension which as deliberately kept out of the argument and that was: Do the oil comapanies want a president who is so powerful that he or she could at will raise and lower taxes? Or release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, as Bill Clinton repeatedly did during the 1990′s? HELL NO! The oil companies threw hissy-fits each and every time Bill was countering their brazen attempts to manipulate the price of gas, which was no more than a $1.30 at the time. The last time a president was so powerful that it scared corporate America shitless was of course the 1930′s and 1940′s with FDR at the helm. Had FDR lived, we would have had single payer health care 60 years ago.)

Anyway, Obama recently had to immediately back down from his “By the way, did I mention that he’s black?” rhetorical race card. The corporate media is not gonna duplicitouly back up his race-baiting, much less scurrilous race-baiting, against a Republican nominee.

Indeed, they are now gender-baiting Obama, much of which is legit, btw. The reason why their gender-baiting of Obama is dubious is because both the GOP and the corporate media are guilty times ten of gender-baiting Hillary since she took on the HMO’s in the early 1990′s. Hypocrisy over gender-baiting corrupts context, thereby letting the (racial) subtext kicks in. That is: “That black guy is a sexist!”

Hillary has been targetted for destruction since those infamous Harry and Louise ads. The HMO’s alone spent $300 MILLION against Hillary’s plan, and the GOP (and the corporate media) then sent Ken Starr after both Clintons; Starr spent $70 MILLION and found nothing but Monica’s dress. (During the 1940′s, the insurance companies spent about $60 MILLION to defeat Truman’s attempt at health care reform. Adjusted to inflation, it would have been about $300 in 1994 dollars, i.e. the same amount they spent against Hillary.)

See, the Clintons get shit done, which is why corporate America had to eliminate them in this very anti-GOP, anti-HMO, anti-war, anti-Bush, anti-white male, anti-Big Oil, etc., year. The Clinton brand was indestructible from external forces; Obama race-baiting came from within, mind you.

What were the big battles which the Clintons took on and won?

i. Big Tobacco

ii. The NRA, i.e. The Assault Weapons Ban

iii. 1993 Economic Stimulus Package, (raise taxes on the rich), which every Republican said would ruin the economy.

iv. They lost the HMO fight, but won on lesser but nevertheless other very significant health care fights Family Leave and Medical Act of 1993, SChip 1997, portable insurance, etc.

v. Microsoft, the mighty giant, i.e. greedy monopoly, was thoroughly defeated and probably would have been ripped in half if Bushit didn’t get into office. Microsoft used to co-own MSNBC, or the psuedo-liberal anti-Clinton channel that has all manner of racist prison programming where inmates are overwhelmingly black and hispanic. And this is on top their normal black crime + white victims coverage. If Chris “shivers up my leg” Matthews and Keith “get a shovel” Olbermann want Americans to give Obama chance, not be so racist, and vote for a black guy, then maybe she should clean house first and demand that the suits who run MSNBC get rid of all racist excrement on MSNBC’s programming.

vi. Unprecedented peach and prosperity. 23 million new jobs. Increases in minimum wage; significant increases in real income across the board for all racial, ethnic, and socio-economic groups. 100,000 cops on the street resulting in the lowest violent crime rates EVER! From $290 BILLION deficits to $225 BILLION surpluses. DOW from about 2000 to 10,000. Greatest economic growth in the history of the world! (Now overtaken by China, go figure.)

vi. ETC. ETC. ETC.
