The fact is that once again, Barack Obama played the race card to try and shift attention away from his radical far left socialist beliefs.
Joe the Plumber isn’t fooled by Barack Obama. He’s an average American who knows that Obama is a socialist.
Barack Obama’s election means the decimation of the American Dream and that’s a fact. If you liked the way the Democrat Congress has run America into the ground, you’ve love the way that Obama will drive America six feet under.

You ask these people a simple question (“Why is he a terrorist?”) and they take it as an attack. Hating-Obama is a group-mind, group-emotion activity of catharsis like rooting for the Iggles.
I wanted the reporter to ask the guy who said Al Sharpton, etc., would be in Obama’s cabinet, “What will you say if that proves not to be the case?” Not that he’d get a considered answer, but it’s a good question.

There’s a major difference between the subtle, infinitely more adaptible and vile kind of hate where you quietly but with inexplicable pride support a system designed to kill Arabs and charge for the privilege and the kind where you go to rallies to scream at people for not wanting to kill Arabs fast enough.
The people you’re looking at in those videos would have joined the SA in a heartbeat, but without a Fuhrer they’re nothing but pathetic whiners.
And most of all, they’ll catch up to the rest of America because they’re cowardly, dim-witted churls. Some of them are old enough to remember the issues that animated the Goldwater-era base, but that’s not what they’re out there screaming about. It’s not even a matter of ideological extremism; it’s a simple matter of fucking pathology.
The best we can hope for is to keep their Duce du jour out of any kind power; without mass rallies and state sponsorship they inevitably lose interest and wander off and become unpleasant, mean-spirited and meaningless people in the middle of nowhere.

Socialism is using the Government in a way that punishes private business and redistributes wealth and punishes success.
Obama’s plans for socialist medicine and the economy are pure socialism. Obama’s health care plan will lead to millions losing employer health coverage because they could save money by letting their employees leech off the government.

Totally OT, but I knew a troll who used to go by that handle, Autoerotic Asphyxiation, who would always go on about how he was a soldier and how great the war on terror was and how he enjoyed killing civilians in Iraq and shit. I’m not sure if his intention was to troll liberals or make conservatives look bad, but he often managed to do both.
I totally forgot about that up until now. That said, I suspect him and Gary Ruppert would get on wonderfully.

What’s sad about all this is that most people would happily join a lynch-mob, if they thought that was the way to align themselves with the majority view.
Trouble is that everyone knows from the polls that the crowds Palin are inciting are a minority… so people who in other circumstances would be shouting out “Death to the Traitors” as loud as the next guy, are instead thinking “These people are not only losers, but ugly thuggish losers — thank god I’m not like them!”
So far Palin hasn’t called upon her supporters to pick up their machetes and crush the conckroaches, but it’s heading that way.

The most revealing thing is that when questioned, they look away from the camera and start to mumble. The guy with the camera’s asking “do you really believe that ?” and they can’t even look him in the eye to answer. They may or may not truly believe the filth they’re spewing, but they sure like to be loud and angry and act like they’re better than everyone else.

For me, the best part of the CA GOPper’s comments about her sending out the Obama buck was her saying [paraphrasing] I had to do it because he made such an outrageous statement. That outrageous statement, of course, was him saying “I don’t look like the presidents on dollar bills” [again, my recollection]. Ranks right up there with “HE MADE me smear him. If he had done what I wanted, I wouldn’t have to smear him.”
Two things came to mind as I typed the above.
First, anyone want to bet that the first thought that woman had on thinking “Obama buck” had nothing to do with currency? [nudge nudge wink know what i mean?]
Second, I’ve come to think that McCain is actually sincere when he says that shit about the nastiness being Obama’s fault. I think he really believes that had the O-man done the town halls – at which he believes he excels – he wouldn’t be losing so badly. And it’s goddamn DUE to be President. Obama is STEALING it from him. Hence, he is forced to do whatever it takes to win. Ergo, it IS Obama’s fault.
Yeah, I’m surely not the first person to have that notion (in fact, my Ho clued me in to it last night). It surely does fit well. As the eyeties say, e ben trovato . (If I were one of them that would constitute proof. )

Y’know, starting out with “Politicians do not control the economy” might work better if you then don’t completely rely on the idea the Democrats are solely responsible for the economy going to shit and in fact have the only genuine control over economic indication.

Uh, no. Not really.

It is amusing to watch you liberals pretend these aren’t valid reasons to reject the pompous, corrupt windbag from Chicago and elect McCain.
(ahem)……….Those are as valid as claiming that Michelle “skipped a grade, honor roll, advanced placement classes, National Honor’s Society member” Obama had poor grades and test scores and only got into college as a “affirmative action princess”, aren’t they?

You’re saying they have no control over the economy at the same time saying *only* they have control over the economy.
PICK ONE.

Truth: From the same Newsweek article: “Michelle was determined to prove that no matter how she got there, she deserved her place in the class: she graduated with departmental honors, and was accepted to Harvard Law School.” Sources inside the campaign say that she was not an “affirmative action princess”, but was helped by being a legacy, since her older brother was at Princeton as a scholar athlete. You guys know about legacies, right? And Djur is right: the only people needing to frequently change their underwear over the thought of frequent attacks were people like you and FOX News analysts, who were saying that we had to attack someone, anyone, to show them Ayrabs we were serious. Since the 9/11 hijackers were mostly Saudis who came here through Hamburg and London and had been in the US for up to a year before the attacks, we clearly attacked the wrong people. We should have bombed Britain, Germany, and Florida, where the hijackers got their flight training. As for the financial meltdown, it’s highly unlikely that it was JUST the mortgage defaults that brought the world economy to a screeching halt.. the banking system could have handled that. It was the credit default swaps, sliced and diced securitized mortgage-based instruments, and derivatives that caused the meltdown. Those fish are still swimming, bro.

OT, the Newsweek article on Michelle Obama indicated her grades and test scores weren’t outstanding. She got into Princeton anyway
(Good grief). From Wikipedia:
” Michelle attended Whitney Young High School, where she was on the honor roll four years, took advanced placement classes, was a member of the National Honor Society and served as student council treasurer.[3] She was a high school classmate of Santita Jackson, the daughter of Jesse Jackson and sister of Jesse Jackson, Jr.[6] She graduated from High School in 1981,[10] and went on to major in sociology and minor in African American studies at Princeton University, where she graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in 1985.[3][11]”
Even you should be able to recognize that no one (and I mean no one) graduates cum laude from Princeton without stellar grades and test scores. Just stop with the racist bullshit, ok?

Gary Ruppert is the result of excessive autoerotic asphyxiation. Lizard brain is all that’s left of poor Ruppert’s gray matter.
Sadly, you’re probably right, but if he’s dangling in the air he might have a little more trouble typing. (This also applies to Twoofie, CUM Dumpster, and, well pretty much all our trolls.)

Yeah, but how many people did Michelle Obama kill with her car?
That’s an important quality in a future first lady.

OT, anyone who can’t score a high GPA from a grade inflated Ivy in sociology and African studies (good Lord) is pathetic.
I note a certain retreat, as if trying to recover from an embarrassing face-plant off your bicycle with the new banana seat.
But anyway, yes, the Ivy league is super easy which is why they spend so much money trying to entice the dumbest and laziest of high-school graduates and nobody wants to go to them ever because classes in NASCAR just do not make sense.

Troofy,
I don’t know where the hell your mutual exclusive understandings of Michelle Obama come from. You sure seem to know an awful lot about someone you claim has been kept hidden,,,
Whoops, I’m totally wrong about that because it turns out you don’t know jack shit about Michelle Obama. Her “mediocre degree” (B.A. cum laude from Princeton) lead to Harvard Law lead her to an associate position at a law firm lead to…I mean holy crap – she graduated Princeton Class of ’85, and landed in her current position at University of Chicago Hospitals twenty years later. There was some stuff in between.
I appreciate that since Michelle Obama’s a black woman, you are incapable of recognizing that she could have accomplished anything other than yelling “Kill Whitey”. That’s not the basis of a good argument, that’s a racist paranoid delusion.

Well, Bush did speak of the “soft bigotry of low expectations”.

Obama prefers demand side economics, which I think is a disaster.
Ahh… here lies the root of the problem!
