Uh-oh! They’re onto us!
Oh crap! The Tennessee Republican Party is onto Barry X’s plan to turn America into West Allahstan:
The Tennessee Republican Party today joins a growing chorus of Americans concerned about the future of the nation of Israel, the only stable democracy in the Middle East, if Sen. Barack Hussein Obama is elected president of the United States.
“It’s time to set the record straight about Barack Obama and where he really stands on vital issues such as national security and the security of Israel,” said Robin Smith, chairman of the Tennessee Republican Party. “Voters need to know about two items that surfaced today which strongly suggest that an Obama presidency will view Israel as a problem rather than a partner for peace in the Middle East.
Obama, (pictured dressed in Muslim attire in a 2006 visit to Africa) has on the campaign trail pledged to rapidly remove American soldiers from Iraq regardless of the resulting instability and the creation of opening that would be filled by Islamic extremists, like Al Qaeda, in Iraq’s government and military.
Obama has pledged to hold a Muslim Summit to determine Middle East policy with the very leaders that have as their goal to remove Israel from the map, referenced Jews to be “dogs” and “pigs,” among other vile references.
Well, there goes our plan to run a stealth candidate. Maybe Obama should just bust Mumia out of the clink now, so we can start the Revolution before they figure everything out.
Above: While scandalously refusing to wear a flag pin on the outside of his lapel,
Obama proudly wears this pin on the inside. No, it’s true, ask a black person.

I liked the suggestion here a few days ago that, once elected, Obama should just bust out a different racial stereotype for every SOTU address. Rapper w/lots of bling, Rastaman, Malcolm X, etc etc.
Swear to god, before this campaign is over, the Republitards are going to be running ads that say “don’t vote for the n***er.”

I work with an older lady who is a Republican. She’s nice enough, but still a gooper. She wouldn’t vote for Romney during the primary, solely because he’s a “damn Mormon”. She voted for Bush twice, but thinks he is doing a lousy job now and can’t wait for him to get out of office.
This kind of thing, calling Obama a Muslim, is only going to resonate with people like her. People who weren’t planning on voting Dem anyway. It’s a sad, pathetic, last ditch effort to stem the coming Democratic Deluge. A doomed attempt to stop the inevitable end of the Republican party as we have known it.
Loyal patriots that we are, we are obligated to help these goopers-treading-water out in the way that will benefit our country the most…by tossing them an anchor.

Hrm…*snorf* where did I put those rose colored contacts…
Ah, there they are. I’m reminded of the case some years back when a Florida school floated the idea of including LGB (and maybe even T) in their non-discrim. This being a school in a fairly red part of FL the board members and community leaders were, at first, not inclined to do it. But their shriveled little hearts had just enough blood left to see the sense of having a discussion about it.
The opposition was so vile, nasty, violent, mindlessly vicious that they all changed their minds. When they enacted the new protections they explained why they unanimously voted for it. Paraphrasing their reasoning, “It was the outpouring of hatred and unveiled violence of the people against it that showed just why this measure is so needed.”
I’m going to think hopeful thoughts; thoughts that a similar scenario could well play itself out across the nation over the next 9 months.
Then I’ll take the contacts out and go back to the gin.

The Tennessee Republican Party should listen to Tony Blankley. He’s got it figured out–maybe.
How to Beat Obama (Maybe)
The Republicans must systematically make a hundred tightly argued, irrefutable critiques of very specific examples of Obama’s policy being wrong for at least 60 percent of America.
Because, you know, the American media as shaped in part by Rovian slime attacks, is so well adapted to that kind of campaign. Tim Russert will step patiently through such arguments when McCain and Obama debate. And Obama’s background as a star law student at Harvard won’t give him any advantage in such a situation.
I can hardly wait until McCain starts his closely reasoned argument against Obama starting to withdraw our troops from Iraq combined with his critique against Obama ending the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest one percent.

The overall lesson to take away from the Democratic primary season so far is that big charges against Obama backfire on the accuser.
Yes, listen to Blakely.
If Obama can be defeated, it will not be with a meat cleaver but with a surgeon’s scalpel. This is difficult in a national campaign in which the public, almost of necessity, must be communicated with by slogans. But Obama is the master responding to blustery charges with wry, dry irony.
Blakely seems to know that in a battle of wits, no conservative will win.

Seems to me “a growing chorus of Americans” are more and more begining to look hopefully and perhaps even impatiently toward an Obama presidency. And many of them have absolutely no fear that he is a terrorist.
For that matter, I thought he was running for president of the United States of America, not Israel. Isn’t it a GOOD thing that he is more interested in the health and well being of America and Americans than he is in Israelis? I mean, don’t they have their OWN damn president?

The Obama camp started this story with the cooperation of the far-right.
Barack Obama is trying to buy the election. He’s outspending Clinton 4 to 1 in Ohio and failing to gain ground. He’s behind by 25 points in Dennis Kucinich’s Congressional district.
Obama is the choice of the far left and the choice of McCain backers.
Clinton is the choice of real Democrats.
Exit pol results for Democrats
CA: 57/38 Clinton
CT: 50/48 Clinton
FL: 52/35 Clinton
MA: 58/41 Clinton
MO: 50/47 Clinton
The Washington Primary results show that the Caucus system disenfranchises real Democrats. In the caucuses, Obama won easily due to his Chicago intimidation tactics. But in an election with a secret ballot, Obama couldn’t win a majority of votes.
Barack Obama is waging a racist and sexist campaign and I don’t intend to endorse that behavior with my vote.
Barack Obama is not ready,even George W. Bush had more experience than Obama.

HTML Mencken was originally known by his nom-de-blog “Retardo Montalban” but changed it in a vain effort to be “taken more seriously”.

That little mosquito things he’s so big and annoying but i don’t even give a shit about him. He’s just a weak stupid little fucker who bred in a swamp somewhere and probably fucks his cousins and his uncle and leaves tracks in his underwear. If he’s so smart, why can’t he find better things to do than bite people? I mean, is there anything more pathetic than that?

There are many things on eocould call Israel. “Stable” isn’t very high on the list.
“Obama has pledged to hold a Muslim Summit to determine Middle East policy with the very leaders that have as their goal to remove Israel from the map, referenced Jews to be “dogs” and “pigs,” among other vile references.”
Thank god civilized white Christian nations would never have people refer to the raghead camel fuckers in such a vile, derogatory manor. It’s so unbecoming!

Ira, dood, I live in one of them thar caucus states – the first one, as a matter of fact – and Obama won because he had the most supporters show up. Truth! I was there, and not for Obama, either, but for Edwards, who also had more people show up than did Hillary. It’s kinda how that hands-on democracy caucus thing works.

How’s THAT work out, Ira? So the far lefties AND the Right Wing Hawks support him? You really got some ’splainin to do for that to make sense.
the Republicans don’t really back Obama, but they vote for him because he’s weaker than Clinton.
How about this?
Obama is a certain loser in November.
I believe that only Democrats should pick Democratic nominees, and more Democrats have voted for Hillary Clinton than Barack Obama. I’m confident that the gang of bullies will not defeat Hillary in the primary.
But if Obama steals the nomination, then Roe v. Wade will be repealed because McCain will win by a landslide and he’ll appoint more Scalia clones to the Supreme Court.

To hammer home the seriousness of voters trusting McCain more than Obama on the economy.
Most voters would trust a homeless bum on economics more than a Bush Republican.
But Obama is just not trustworthy. As well, he’s funded by the same Republicans who plotted to destroy Bill Clinton.
In order to save America, Hillary has to win.
Ira Allen said,
February 28, 2008 at 8:14
The Republican-controlled Media put Obama on the frying pan, they kept the temperature nice, and they’re gradually turning the heat up, and he won’t know it until he’s a goner.
Only Hillary has the experience in fighting the Republican-controlled Media.
Obama is a little prissy crybaby who can’t take the heat.

Who is this Ruppert? Rupert Murdoch?
Can you rebut me on the points?
Some Guy said,
February 28, 2008 at 9:03
Sure. There have been more Democratic voters in their primaries then there are Republicans. By a large number. Usually 2:1.
Even if those numbers are accurate (which I seriously doubt, but we’ll play your sandbox for fun) they don’t mean anything. You can poll the general population all the live long day till you turn blue in the face counting the cows coming home; that doesn’t mater. What you care about is LIKELY voters. 60% of the population could favor making puppies free, but if only 50% votes, and 51% of those who vote are part of the opposing 40% from the original poll, guess who wins?
But let’s take a closer look at your source, Ruppert.
Your source says NOTHING about where Clinton stands against McCain. It says NOTHING about who they polled, or how they were polled. It provides at-best partial data, it’s highly unconvincing in it’s results, and suspect in its motives. Your source would warrant a C+ form a lenient middle school science fair judge. Almost certainly, with 2 minutes worth of effort, I could find you another, better, poll that says the exact opposite. That, however, would be more effort then it’s worth.
That said, I’m going to go make me some fucking potstickers. Eff yeah.

What kind of arrogant pricks think it’s an argument to show up somewhere, spew bad arguments and questionable “factoids” en masse, and then challenge others to respond to each and every lunatic ‘point’ asserted?
I mean, that’s the behavior of the global warming deniers, and the “Saddam Hussein was the worst genocidalist in history and we had to take him out” nuts.

“Obama has pledged to hold a Muslim Summit to determine Middle East policy with the very leaders that have as their goal to remove Israel from the map, referenced Jews to be “dogs” and “pigs,” among other vile references.””
And what the fuck do you suggest?
The current state of relations between Isreal and the rest of the middle east is intolerable, we don’t have the resources to blow up every muslim in the entire middle east, and Isreal has been trying to solve the terrorist problem with violence for decades, which I think is a long enough period that we can finally declare that it’s not fucking working.
Also, you know, we’re trying to build up two muslim nations into stable allies. Telling the rest of the muslim world to sit and spin probably won’t help.
So if these assholes have a better idea then talking out our problems, I think they should have the decency to say what it is.

When it comes to the economy, 45% prefer McCain while 39% trust Obama more.
(..)
On taxes, 42% trust McCain, 37% Obama.
Isn’t it fun to cherry-pick and omit information to support your point (whatever it might be)?
I went and read the Rasmussen Reports poll you linked to, and both of the above sets of numbers are essentially meaningless, given the +/- 3% margin of error the poll claims. And you didn’t bother to print the last paragraph:
Oh, and also, that site? Despite claims to being an “independent” pollster, Mr. Rasmussen proudly quotes Larry Kudlow and has a section full of columns out of the Creators Syndicate stable of wingnut commentators (Malkin, Dick Morris, Bob Novak, et al.). So maybe their poll is valid, maybe not; but they certainly don’t try very hard dispel the impression of bias.
Jennifer said,

Of course they don’t try to dispel the impression of bias. For their target audience (painfully stupid people), bias is a feature, not a bug.

With Edwards out, I’ve got no horse in this race, and there’s plenty that I like (or can tell myself I like) about both candidates. But Ira, please, knock this “if Obama steals the election” bullshit off. Dude isn’t “stealing” anything – he’s just winning, big, by running a better campaign, crafting a more appealing image, and avoiding serious missteps. It’s playing politics, and despite all this talk about Clinton’s experience it’s starting to look like the youngster is a helluva lot better at it.

an Obama presidency will view Israel as a problem rather than a partner for peace in the Middle East.
I was awake all night, wondering who the other partners are supposed to be. Apparently not the other Middle Eastern countries, since Obama is a Bad Man for proposing to invite their leaders to a summit.

This release originally referenced a photo of Sen. Obama and incorrectly termed it to be “”Muslim” garb. It is, in fact, Somali tribal garb…
Indeed, this is central to our point.
Somebody had to say it. And I don’t think anyone had yet.
