It would be ridiculous if anyone were to cast a sympathy vote for Obama because of this. My theory is that for every sympathy vote, there will be another voter who compensates by NOT casting a sympathy vote. (Actually, it would have made more sense for someone to vote for BO to give the old lady one last thrill. Too late now.)

Oh the irony.
There is just something terribly, terribly wrong with these individuals. Just something, very very wrong.
How sad that I had to go and look at the URL to determine which right wing hate site you’d found these creeps lurking under. Sad that there exists even one such site, but that I had to go look to see if it was RedState or Freeperville or LGF or…
Sad state of humanity…
You know, the only thing wrong with America are the 40 million dupes, pricks and lost souls who vote republican.

My theory is that for every sympathy vote, there will be another voter who compensates by NOT casting a sympathy vote.
Wait, let me see if I understand what Bigg’un or whatever is proposing … there will be some voters who will cast votes in sympathy for Obama, and other voters who will vote for McCain out of sympathy for Obama? Who don’t vote out of sympathy? Who … sympathize with him but don’t vote out of sympathy, but vote for him?
You libruls make fun of the right wing, but they were the ones who saved you from the Communist conspiracy to hypnotize you with fluoridated water.
Meh… you ain’t so hot. All those tasty hydrocarbons are almost gone, too dry.

Jackie Gleason said that?
What in the name of fuck is an “immunity tottem”? I am truly baffled. Not just by that.
Good afternoon liberals, I’ve just finished watching a pretty good movie on cox in demand, called The Last Supper.
Now what’s interesting about this film, is that unlike most Hollywood films, it actually portrays the liberals as the villians. The plot of this film is about five liberal grad students who decide to invite prominent conservatives to their home for dinner, and murder them by serving them poisioned wine.
It begins when one of the liberals car breaks down, and a passing truck driver gives him a ride home. Once home, the liberals seemingly in good faith invite the man inside to have dinner. Once dinner starts the liberals start chomping down their food and the man sits there and exclaims, “aren’t you all forgeting something.” Then the liberals ask
“what could we possibly be forgeting.” Then the man replies, “You forgot to say Grace.” Then one of the liberals snidely remarks, “We don’t say Grace here.” During the course of the dinner conversation, the audience finds out that the man was in fact a war hero who served in the First Gulf War, and is very conservative. The liberals then go on to mock the man’s service to his country, and one of them even goes so far as to call the man a Nazi. So the man, quite possibly overeacts, which is understandable given his service to his Country and gets one of the liberals in a choke hold. A fight ensues when another liberal got his arm injured by the enraged war hero. One of the liberals them proceeds to stab the man to death.
After a brief arguement on what to do next, they then decide to bury the body in their vegtable garden. The film then takes a sinister turn, when they next decide to “do society a favor”, and start killing off conservatives, who they precieve to be the source of all the world’s evil. There first victim is a Christian Pastor, who they poison to death with arsonic induced wine. They end up doing this to ten prominent conservatives in all, inviting each of them over to their home for dinner, to dicuss politics. The film took an even more sinister turn, when the leader of the liberals, a man by the name of Luke, invited a 17 year old school girl, who opposed sex education being taught a the school. He was about to kill her, insisting on offering her the poisioned wine, even after she told him, she doesn’t drink. Apparently, this was too much for the other liberals, who then escorted the girl out of the house.
Luke even goes so far as to murder a Sherrif’s Deputy who was on to what they were doing. Then while at the airport, to of the liberals run into a very prominent Rush Limbaugh-esque conservative talk show host, and invite him over for dinner to murder him. It turns out however that the man is onto what they’ve been doing, and proceeds to tell them that he’s really not that “far right.” All of the liberals with the exception of Luke decide against killing the talk show host, who proves to be quite charming. So they argue about this in the other room, leaving their guest alone at the dinner table, where he in very Rush Limbaugh like fashion, smokes a cigar.
The liberals, after a brief but heated arguement in the other room, return to the dining room, already decided against killing the very charming conservative talk show host. The talk show host, then precieves to offer a toast to the liberals, who then ask if he’ll be sharing a drink with them. He declines, saying he’s already drank too much. It turns out, that the heroic conservative talk show host, ends up tricking the murderous liberals, and poisons them to death instead. Thus avenging his murdered collegues.
Excellent film, which believe it or not portrays the liberals as villianous and cowardly and the conservatives as smart, moral and heroic. Excellent for a change given Hollywood’s usual leftwing bias.
I for one was going to vote for Obama, but now that someone said that someone might vote for Obama out of sympathy, I need to compensate and NOT cast a sympathy.
Dammit, I had my money on Malkin’s commenters batting in the lead off spot.
It’s gotta be hard to do this right away – but I appreciate you doing it.
Peace to the Obamas.
WHERE ARE HER FILES
(Also, I stand by both of my prior remarks on this: Dawn of the Darkies and the election-winning snuff film L’Auddacio Nero! Her daughter’s passion – her final shame!!! That is all.)
Every time I think that the Freepers have finally reached the lowest of the low, that there is simply no possible way to go lower without beginning to come out the other side, they find yet another depth to plumb.
It’s positively fractal. It’s the quantum physics of wankstainery. It’s the 11th dimension of douchebaggery.
Just when I thought that it was impossible for these people to show any slime that would render me shocked or stunned, they find some way to reach depths heretofore unknown by homo sapiens sapiens.
You libruls make fun of the right wing, but they were the ones who saved you from the Communist conspiracy to hypnotize you with fluoridated water.
That’s the Masons, not the communists, idjut! 35th Degree Masons control the Post Office and also Fluoridate our water, making us a part of their tax stamp-dehydration schemes.
And Rugged? Stop lingering around here, it’s harvest time and the dental floss farm needs you and your tweezers (I’m not doin all the work this year, damnit!).
They probably meant ‘immunity totem’, which is a doodad that contestants on the TV show ‘Survivor’ can win. It prevents them from being voted off the show. (I have no idea why I know this; I have never watched a single episode.)
As for the rest of it, I’m as lost as you are, sorry.
It’s really appalling. You know what else is appalling? That it’s not surprising.
Of course she died last week and they only limited that knowledge to undecided voters in swing states with early voting. Now that everyone else is headed to the polls, it could be common knowledge.
They pain me.
Hold on, the Malkinites are not giving this one up to the Freepers:

Mrs. Dunham was a bank vice president, and apparently the one who worked in that relationship. It was Mr. Dunham, deciding Barack needed a Black father figure, who decided a member of the Communist Party USA was just the man to fit the bill. Per Barack, Dunham and Davis were drinking buds, Grandpa Dunham may have been a communist himself. He was the one who named his daughter “Stanley”, who knows how that affected her and made her turn out so badly.
Poor woman, probably. Sounds like she didn’t exactly have a winner for a husband, or a daughter, or a grandson.

While is is sad that his Grandmother died, my grandmother, in fact both as well as both grandfathers have died, and I do not expect people to make me president.
After reading that post on the Free Republic, I’d have to say as usual they were nothing but respectful about this unfortunate tragedy.
You liberals like to mock the Free Republic, well, when Ted Kennedy was sent to the hospital for brain cancer, there were many prayers for him to recover, from myself included. All disrespectful comments were swiftly and promptly deleted by the Free Republic management.
Compare that to the Daily Kos when Tony Snow died. You can’t because there was no comparison.
I saw this news on my homepage when I signed on, and was just heartbroken. She didn’t make it to see her grandson elected president. I had so hoped she would, for both her sake and his.
Leave it up to the bottom dwellers to respond in any way other than the way I have.
I have four drivers licenses, so naturally I’ve registered to vote four times. So far I’ve voted twice for Obama, but now I’m torn. Should I use my other two IDs to cast sympathy votes for Obama, protest/antipathy votes for McCain, or one of each?
Malkin and LGF are deleting comments like mad.
At LGF, Charles threatened that anyone who left a nasty comment would be banned instantly, while the Malkin comments just quietly get erased.
Poor woman, probably. Sounds like she didn’t exactly have a winner for a husband, or a daughter, or a grandson.
yeah, her grandson really turned out to be quite a loser, huh?
The fact is, liberals, SHUT UP. Your Messiah will loose tomorrow. B ig time.

I think we all know that Jason Bourne has way more than four driver’s licenses.

The local US Embassy informed me that my Rogue Nation membership card did not entitle me to an absentee vote.
Ah, Free Republic. Without you we’d be a lot more complacent about the average American intelligence.
Obama’s family requested that we make donations to cancer research in lieu of flowers, etc. I would think that a few thousand donations in memory of Madelyn Dunham could be a blogswarm we all could believe in.
Questions concerning the kerning of the death certificate in five…four..
Although I am a murderous liberal, I happen to find “The Last Supper” to be awesome and hilarious.
Although I agree with Rugged Montana on this (and only this) point, it makes me sad every time I encounter anyone who filters their appreciation of any art through their personal political lens.
I also feel sorry for “Rugged” because he clearly missed the underlying irony of the ending to the film. You see, the “murderous liberals” decide to kill conservatives after a discussion in which they all agree that it would be the right thing to do to kill Hitler when he was still just an artist. They justify each murder on the grounds that the conservative was the next Hitler.
The irony comes in at the end when they decide not to kill “Rush Limbaugh,” he murders them, and as the credits roll, there is a voice over of him announcing his bid for the presidency to a cheering crowd. The implication being that he would, in fact, become the next Hitler.
Of course, irony died sometime in early 2002, so Rugged’s error (if he isn’t a parody himself) is completely understandable.
Y’all beat me to it.
I must say, my Freep samples are far more heinous than yours.
I win!!!!!
He/she who wades further into the muck wins!
Just heard meathead Michael Medved (“V as in victory,” he said, when spelling his name for the discount box on whatever gawd-awful product website he was shilling!) claim that somehow (who knows what he was refering to, but one of the Freepers above mentions it as well) there is a failure by the Obama campaign to reveal that Ms. Dunham was >Gasp!!< a vice president of the Bank of Hawai’i, & this reveals how little we know about Obama & his background!!
As if anyone knows much about a candidate’s parents, or in this case grandparent who raised him as her own child. Oh, wait, seems that Reagan’s father was a drunk, if not an abusive drunk. What does that tell us? And hasn’t it been said that John Sidney McCain III’s (Not an elitist!) immediate paternal ancestor was a booze-hound as well? Hmmm.
But the big question for these rabid weasels is really “Who taught Obama to love AmeriKKKa?” Consider that, as if one is not beaten over the head w/ socializing (Not socialist!) propaganda 24/7 in This Great Nation of Ours.
Geezis Hussein Christ, when will it stop?
What bothers me the most is that these people are not going away. Karl Rove is not going away. Bill Kristol is not going away. None of those PNAC assholes are going anywhere. They are like a cancer. Parasites on the freedom of the US. And Fucking Pelosi and her ‘liberal’ cohorts took impeachment off the table, effectively rubber stamping all of the lawlessness of the last 8 (16?) years.
When Barack wins tomorrow we are just beginning to fight.
I just love how the followers of the party of dirty tricks keeps suspecting the Democrats of dirty tricks. And the followers of the administration that has systematically dismantled the constitution and revoked our rights are worried that Obama will destroy the constitution. Project much, people?
Ah, but are they sequentially numbered with no additions or elisions? I mean sure, one can cherry-pick…
Heh heh, RiM, you said “cox in demand”.

Condolences to Obama and family.
A sincere hope that something horrible and life changing happens to all those nasty commenters, even if I do think that ”Ich bin ein beginner” is pretty cute.
Ah, but are they sequentially numbered with no additions or elisions? I mean sure, one can cherry-pick…
OK you get extra points for style.
So Michelle and the LGFers are deleteing comments right and left, eh? Why? Trying to put lipstick on the pig that is their audience? I find that very very funny.
“There first victim is a Christian Pastor, who they poison to death with arsonic induced wine.”
Two comments:
1) Someone watched some Cary Grant and Peter Lorre this Halloween.
2) “Arsoni” induced wine? Now that’s what I call fire water!
Damned misquotes.
“Arsonic”
Damned mosquitoes.
Damned Tostitos.
Damned mesquite-flavored Tostitos.
BREAKING: MORONS HOLD OUT HOPE FOR UNICORNS.
I love it. Three weeks of “if you don’t get this out today, I won’t believe you! OK, one more day…”.
My family just buried my dad last Friday, so I know how Obama’s family must feel.
It’s kind of sad that LGF deleting the offensive comments is considered taking the high road. Sure, it’s nice of them to do it, but if their readership wasn’t such a mob of troglodytes, it wouldn’t be necessary.
The worst thread I’ve found so far — more batshit, comment-for-comment than any of the Free Republic threads — is this one at Lucianne.com.
If there are fewer than 36 comments there, they’ve deleted some.
I’m waiting for word that Obama gave his grandmother cancer.
Aye, CapnFatback, leave him be.
Rugged is a good soul. What with the Pelicans and Badgers, we have to cut him a wee bit o’ slack.
Just a little advise from one Cap’n to another.

Man, I think I’ve actually had a more or less perfect day to be immune to this. It saddens me in a profound way to hear this about Obama’s grandmother – I like the man personally and I dread losing my grandparents – but you know what, I woke up with a documentary about us incinerating Hiroshima and spent half of the morning weeping. We’re capable of some horrifying shit as a species and as a country, and I can’t help but pity these sad little creatures for their brutal inhumanity.

Disgusting but not at all surprising.
In a slightly better world the hopeless oxygen wasters who run those blogs would have reporters in their face demanding to know the exact nature of their major malfunction. As it is they’ll be blaming it all on Lieberul trolls.
The markets are open here in Asia on this, the 4th of November. Is it too early to start celebrating America’s crushing repudiation of these horrible, horrible people?
I think we should acknowledge that there were some respectful comments on there – not many but some.
However to this guy who said this:
Cancer patients usually pass away from a planned terminal sedation.
This may be the first politically timed terminal sedation ever, though.
I have got to give a big FUCK YOU. If this were the case, my mother wouldn’t have suffered so terribly for the last month of her life.
they predicted a woman on her deathbed would die? excellent work, folks!
Such passivity! Such negativity! Rather than complaining about how this will benefit Obama, can’t these people come up with something positive, like arranging for an equally tragic death for McCain’s mother? I mean, it is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness, and all that.
Unless you happen to like cursing the darkness.
Feckin’ Darkness. I hate glam retro bands.
Does anyone else find it odd that this happened the same day that McCain flew into Roswell, NM?
Is it possible that liberal aliens timed Mrs. Dunham’s untimely demise to garner earthling sympathy, in retribution for McCain’s Roswell visit?

There is, in fact, an alternative explanation.
If you spent years talking UNIX to beige boxes, writing c-shell and sql by hand and painstakingly formatting troff documents without a wysiwyg preview, you would not only understand, you might fall victim to it yourself…

Several people predicted this very scenario.
Several other people complained WHY ISN’T SHE DEAD YET?! and reckoned that the whole business was a beat-up to garner sympathy. Between them they covered the bases.

D-K W: Holy Christ. Was there ANY point at all to that Joe Klein piece? I mean, totally WTF?
These times are showing people’s asses, as they say down here, more than anything I’ve ever known. It’s like people don’t know how to behave or react to ANYTHING anymore.
Cratitan Shitmoat (is your last name Swedish?)–
Thanks for the advice. Truth to tell, I was just looking for a properly flammable replacement for my Flaming Homer.
It’s a “flaming Moe”.
After reading that post on the Free Republic, I’d have to say as usual they were nothing but respectful about this unfortunate tragedy.
Hehindeedle. Just like when that guy they didn’t like had cancer, and they harrassed his hospital and delayed his treatment, and he died. Very respectful. You worthless cunt.
“Garner earthling sympathy”? Oh my no. We come to “garnish earthlings with cilantro”.
We come to “garnish earthlings with cilantro”.

Howard University Law School might as well change their name to Kill Whitey Law School, because of that time the guy was there and he was all “kill whitey” and the huge crowd of people were all “yay Professor Kambon is our hero” and hoisted him up on their shoulders and brought him many fine gifts.
Conservatives are not like that, though — as Rush Limbaugh said: “I tell people don’t kill all the liberals. Leave enough so we can have two on every campus — living fossils — so we will never forget what these people stood for.” And there are a LOT of campuses, my liberal friends, so that is FAR from eliminationist.
It’s like people don’t know how to behave or react to ANYTHING anymore.
Folks like this never did (and they’ve been around the whole time). The Internet has allowed them to a) become visible and b) connect as a mutually-reinforcing group, but it’s not anything all that new.
Just like all the folks that haven’t a clue what the word “Socialism” means. They’ve always been there, it’s just now they have AOL.
MzNicky, Joe Klein was trying to write something nice, I believe.
At least that seems to be the sentiment of some of the swampland commenters I think are good people.
P.S.
Sir, have you no sense of history?
And here’s a nice recipe, to boot.
Rush better be careful what he prays for. If his winner-takes-all anarchy comes to pass, he’ll be rendered for hydrocarbons.
I think that was more a case of poor wording than conspiracy theorising. The rest of the article suggests he means “ridiculous” in the context of the absurdity of life, not unbelievable.
I had exactly the same reaction when I first read it though. And yes, Joe Klein is still a dick.
Hehindeedle. Just like when that guy they didn’t like had cancer, and they harrassed his hospital and delayed his treatment, and he died. Very respectful. You worthless cunt.
I’d forgotten about that.
Fuck these fuckers sideways with a big ol’ fucking thing of some sort.
I have a really painful butt plug you can borrow for that….
I think Klein was not saying “the timing is ridiculous” to mean “the timing was stage-managed”, just, you know, that it’s sort of like a cruel irony of fate. Plus there’s the whole Moses allusion thing (“to the Mountaintop”) that’s also an MLK reference.
“Ridiculous” is a poor choice of words, though, given that some people literally see it as PROOF! of CONSPIRACY!
Kill The White People!
Then after they sorta killed Andy Stephenson with their fraud accusations, they claimed he had faked his own death…
They are some serious filth.
Joe Klein was trying to write something nice, I believe.
Perhaps. But FAIL.

Never, EVER have I said ANYTHING with such clarity and sincerity.

So, what’s everybody doin’ for tomorrow nite? Anybody got Election Night party plans? I was thinkin’ about inviting in my liberal friends for a little wing-ding, but I dunno, maybe not. What do you all think? And will there be a Sadly Election Nite thread for those of us who will be drinking, say, scotch until 8 or so, and then champagne, I hope, afterward?
You people make me sick that I am defending you.
arsonic induced wine.
Induced wine? There are two options:
(1) Shamelessly plagiarise the Keats-&-Chapman joke about electrical experiments with wine… or
(2) Wait for some other thread to shamelessly plagiarise it.
So, what’s everybody doin’ for tomorrow nite?
I got a text from a friend saying we should ‘do’ the election ‘Hunter Thompson style’; he didn”t really elaborate further than that. I can’t go because of work, but I think I actually don’t want to watch it – too tense and stressful, and the commentary and analysis will be too vapid and depressing. I’m in the ‘sleep through it’ crowd.
I can’t believe I missed this amazing The-Democrats-Left-ME piece:
http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2008-10-28/so-long-obama/
but you know what, I woke up with a documentary about us incinerating Hiroshima and spent half of the morning weeping.
Alec, dude, you need a new alarm clock.
Hey, it’s one of Truthy’s ‘fill in the blanks’ games.
“I’m only going to say this once, but I told mom not to bang on the basement door because I’ll be in a cheeto-and-grief-wanking reverie from which I cannot possibly be roused.”

What comes next? Good God, man, the suspense!
I am forced to guess:
I’m only going to say this once, but I told him to SuperSize it.
I’m only going to say this once, but I told on Billy for a good reason: he took my lunch money!
I’m only going to say this once, but I told that guy his lawn was unkempt.

RB, for a supposed speechwriter, that’s some truly awful writing. Scattered, half-coherent, with nothing resembling intelligible English grammar. It’s like a third grader wrote it.
There are plenty of valid points to be made about sexism and the treatment of Hillary Clinton, but jeez…
Frightening, how you people act. I understand that the Democrats and the Republicans have some differences, but to disrespect someone’s grandmother when she passes away, is abhorrent. (look it up)
You people should be ashamed of yourselves for the things that you say here, and elsewhere. And if you truly represent the Republican party, then it’s in worse shape than I thought.
You disgust me.
Hey Troofie – if you’re so wild about pie, why not go over to FiveThirtyEight and ogle the tiny, tiny slice McWorse has on the “Win Percentage” chart?
It doesn’t take hours to throw a switch.
But it still won’t be enough.
If indeed The Truth did only say “this once”, everyone would be happier.
It’s actually an AI logic trap (if you are a sub-Turing artificial intelligence without a version 5 or higher Paradox Cutout, SKIP THE NEXT SENTENCE).

Now that I’ve had more time to reflect on it, Smut Clyde, I believe there was some discrepancies with the original translation.
Rugged posted, “There first victim is a Christian Pastor, who they poison to death with arsonic induced wine.”
However, he was clearly intending to report on the narrative habits of those who speak aloud the programs on television they are sesing as they flip the channels. Thus, the following is the correct translation: “There! First, Vice time. Jim’s Christopher Lloyd. Hooray! Bronson in Death Wish’; Arsenio induced whine.”
I think I head that paper at a New Media Studies conference.
“If we can hit this bull’s-eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!”
Well, I seem to be coming down with something.
I was planning on roasting a chicken and putting a fire in the fireplace and enjoying the deal. It appears that once they call virginia and ohio we’ll know the answer. So then it’s white knuckles over congress and prop 8.
With booze.
But I might be under a blanket with a cup of soup, whining.
One of the reasons I’m not married is I’m such an asshole when I’m sick…

Newsbusters reacts to the Joe Klein item:
A lovely picture of the Obamesssiah there as well.
Highly amusing video message for undecideds and people who “can’t be bothered” to vote.
I’m a bit drunk, but the Newsbusters headline made me do hte lulz for some reason.
“Time’s Klein Turns Terns Burns Obama Mama Obit Globit Glooba Gloo…”
“If we can hit this bull’s-eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!”
Today I found this in an otherwise boring article:
I particularly like the subgenius who said this one:
Cancer patients usually pass away from a planned terminal sedation. This may be the first politically timed terminal sedation ever, though.
This little turd has clearly never had contact with a patient who is dying of terminal cancer, nor even a freaking clue about medicine.
Having watched more than a few relatives die of cancer, I can tell you that, yes, they allow liberal use of pain meds in such cases, with the logic that you aren’t going to live long enough to have to worry about a morphine addiction, but that’s a far, far cry from killing people intentionally with an overdose.
The latter, of course, is the sort of thing done by Jack Kevorkian, which must wingnut assholes wouldn’t want any part of, since they think they understand the intersection of medicine and morality better than the patient, the family, or the doctor.
Sometimes, the pretzel logic these assclowns engage in leave you to wonder why their peabrains don’t explode.
Well, I seem to be coming down with something.
Last time I was sick I downloaded TWO WILL SMITH MOVIES. TWO!
Too many cooks spoil the broth and the result is that grade inflation has exploded like a space rocket.
That’s the biggest pile of awesome since the ‘boomerang glass-house stones’ wingnut lady a couple of months ago.
Last time I was sick I downloaded TWO WILL SMITH MOVIES. TWO!
That’s funny, because the last time I downloaded two Will Smith movies, I was violently sick.
(Joking, really. I quite liked I Am Legend. Because I suck.)
Couldn’t stand the last one, the Drunken Superhero one. I’ve even blocked the name out in my mind.
Mikey, once Virginia is called for Obama, that’s the ball game. Preznit wise.
After that, it’s a matter of rooting for various gooper scumbags and propositions to be sent to the dung heap, where they belong.
Proposition 8, Saxby Chambliss, etc.
Couldn’t stand the last one, the Drunken Superhero one. I’ve even blocked the name out in my mind.
Well I won’t make you relive the trauma by mentioning the name, but like a lot of people I really, really liked the first half, and thought the second half sucked hairy gorilla ballz. I mean, I really liked the first half, not in a “that-wasn’t-bad” sort of way, but actually liked it, and I rarely like anything. I think that made the second half, and therefore the movie as a whole, more galling.
Couldn’t stand the last one, the Drunken Superhero one.
Hancock. I liked the first half. It would have been better without the origin and so on. The other one I watched was I Am Legend and it was just too morose. In both the fast-talking from Smith was restricted and that was a relief, but obviously there are many thousands of better movies out there I could have chosen.
Oh, and I think Drunken Superhero would have been a much better title. I like to think that’s the title of the Chinese DVD version.
Geez, Mikey, who isn’t?
My theater friends always recommended the hot alcohol and three blankets method to sweat it out.
At least it takes your mind off the illness… best wishes for feeling better.
We have a couple of friends coming over, which will be nice, and it look like it will be decided early.
In 2004 I caved at 2 AM and got woken up with the bad news… I’m owed.
And yes, the freepers betray themselves… don’t they always accuse people of stuff they have either done, or wanted to do?
It’s tough to lose one’s last parent.
I’m only going to say this once, but I told you I’m only going to say this once. What I said was, once only am I going to say this. Can’t say again what I’m only going to say once, which is that I’m only going to say this. Once
Drunken Superhero was an even bigger hit than the other Will Smith blockbuster discussed above, Last Man On Earth Pursued By Vampires. But did you know that Will Smith was originally tapped to play the role of Neo in Life Is Computer Simulation, Machines Rule The Planet?
Sorry. Just making myself laugh.
Wendy Button is voting for McCain because Democrats made fun of Joe the Plumber. Good sound thinking.
That was one weird article… but at least Button asks the question that needs to be asked:
Where’s the op-ed about how Obama tucks in his shirt when he plays basketball or how Senator Biden buttons the top button on his golf shirt?
Perhaps. But FAIL.
Umm, my take on it was Joe the Klein thought that Barack’s grandmother dying was a great opportunity to get some purple prose in. I mean how often do you get to dump out the following:
Sure, tomorrow’s going to be historic – we all get that. But the guy’s grandmother, the woman who – for a large part of his life – raised him, she died. That’s not your cue to practice for Primary Colors 2: The Colored.
That plus reading some of the six minutes of deranged hate from the Freeps just pissed me off.
I like to think that’s the title of the Chinese DVD version.
I admire the Asian fashion of giving things ultra-prosaic titles. There’s an appealing humility to it, somehow.
Well, in all fairness, how can one not make fun of a guy who says he’s a plumber, but isn’t, says he’s buying a business he’s not, and then leverages it all into a country & western album?
We’re not made of stone!
Where’s the op-ed about how Obama tucks in his shirt when he plays basketball or how Senator Biden buttons the top button on his golf shirt?
Well, abracadabra – there it is, Wendy! You’re writing it! You moron.
The comments for that article are awesome. I’ve never seen “You’re a fuckwit” said so politely, so many times.
PLOT SPOILER ALERT would also be a good title for a Will Smith vehicle.
“What was the name of that movie again?”
“Plot Spoiler Alert.”
“Yeah, yeah, I’m not asking you to tell me the whole story, just tell me what it’s called.”
I can’t believe I missed this amazing The-Democrats-Left-ME piece…
Wendy Button writes like she is staring into the bathroom mirror, half her mind taken up with deciding what initial to scratch.
On the plus side, I’m feeling better about calling Georgia for Obama:

Geez, Mikey, who isn’t?
I’m more a pitiful pile of quiet misery.
Apocryphal conversation between Hollywood producer and writer pitching a script:
Writer: “I’ve got a great idea for a movie. It’s like Die Hard, only it’s set in an office building.”
Producer: “Um, Die Hard is set in an office building.”
Writer: “Only the first one.”
Oh, and a big bag of dicks for Wendy Button. Joe the fucking Wurlitzer Puppet? I was sympathetic to him before, but now…
It would be very ‘meta’ if you could make a movie called Spoiler, but engineer the plot so that just knowing that the movie was called Spoiler would be a spoiler. Then you could keep the title secret, so as not to spoil it.
Or something.
For five and a half years, John McCain couldn’t lose an election.

Arf.
Shouldn’t we be talking about Korir’s sudden unwillingness to release the Michelle Obama tape? This could turn the entire election!
When we first met, Obama and I had a nice conversation about speeches and writing, and at the end of the meeting I handed him a pocket-sized bottle of Grey Poupon mustard so he wouldn’t have to ask staff if it was okay to put it on his hamburger. At the bottom of the bottle was the logo for “The South Beach Diet” and he snapped, “Oh so you read People magazine.” He seemed to think that I was commenting on his bathing suit picture.
I bet Dostoevsky is looking down from Big-Shot Novelist Heaven and wishing he could have written like that.
Shouldn’t we be talking about Korir’s sudden unwillingness to release the Michelle Obama tape?
All dirt will be thrown upon his face.

“The Return of Captain Invincible” is the canonical drunken superhero movie. Alan Arkin as Superman.
I’ll see that and raise you Mister Freedom, a 70s satire about a fascist superhero and his quest to convert France to the American Way. It has a frankly disturbing turn by Donald Pleasance as Mister Freedom’s demented commander, and a minor role for incest-loving crooner Serge Gainsbourg.
And while it’s not a musical, it does have a song:
We stand for freedom
For one and for all
It’s you and me-dom
And ten feet tall …
F! R! E-E-D!
D-O-M spells!
FREE-DOM!
As a member of the Free Republic, I have to say that the Management is very good about deleting any offensive comments that might be made about Obama’s grandmother’s passing, just as they were about any wishes of death towards Ted Kennedy.
There have also been many prayers for Obama and his family to help them get through this tragedy. I myself have prayed for Obama and his family, as no one deserves the loss of a loved one to cancer, regardless of where they stand politically.
I hope you liberals at least recognize the many prayers being offered to Obama and his family, and also to Ted Kennedy, who I’ve also prayed for. First I prayed for his eternal soul, that he may come to know Jesus as his Lord and spend eternity in Heaven, and that he may recover from his brain cancer, as no one deserves such an ailment.
Yeah, ‘prayers’ totally cancels out that whole ‘harrassing a cancer patient to death’ thing. You guys rule.
“There’s too many questions with…” at least is more concise than “I prefer to ignore the readily-available and thoroughly-documented answers about…”.

First of all, I have no idea what you’re talking about, “harrasing a cancer paitent to death.” But I will let you know, that if it did indeed happen and your’re not making it up, than I think its reprehensible, as I’m sure the overwhelming majority of FReepers would agree with me. We are overwhelmingly Christian and Godfearing men and women who deplore such behavior, as we routinely newer FReepers that we are held to a higher standard than that, we don’t wish death on our political opponents.
Well, if you never heard of it, it never happened, right?
If only there was some kind of large electronic database where you could find out for yourself!
Have fun hanging out at Cancer Patient Harrasser Republic.
Or just fucking anywhere but here.
He’s talking about Andy Stephenson. He was mostly a computer security guy who crusaded on an anti-Diebold message. This made FReepers very mad around ’05.
Andy came down with pancreatic cancer and his internet friends raised around $50k to help him get experimental surgery that his insurance wouldn’t pay for. The FReepers in their infinite wisdom decided he was scamming people and created a fraud investigation that delayed the surgery. Then he died. Then they alternated between spreading rumors that he died of AIDS and that he had faked his own death.
Great people, you hang out with.
I sincerely pray for her good circumstances in her next life. Obama is a reflection of how she lived and how well she loved. Now, it’s up to him to prove to the world how great she was. Time will tell. Sleep well.
Kiki, I just told you, I find what SOME of my fellow FReepers did to that cancer paitent to be morally reprehensible. I don’t understand why you can’t accept sympathy from across the political asile. Just because I’m a conservative automatically makes me a bad person, right? I don’t personally hate you guys, in fact, I find some of the things you people say here to be pretty darn funny, even if I disagree with the political message. Its one thing to hate someones political philosophy, but its something else entirely to hate the person, just because they have different political beliefs.

I guess you are a bit late to the game but go fire up your FReep handle and ask about Andy Stephenson. My guess is Jim Rob bans you instantly, but if it hangs around they will eat you alive for suggesting what they did was wrong. I’d find different people to pal around with.
I know I probably shouldn’t admit this, given we’re on the opposite ends of the political spectrum, but even though I like Jonah Goldberg and consider him to be one of the foremost conservative intellectuals, I have on occasion laughed when you guys refer to him as “Doughy Pantload.” And that picture of him holding the buttpaste is quite amusing too, I must admit.
i unkillfiled rugged and then i killfiled him again.
by the way, “rugged”, saying you consider jonah “one of the foremost conservative intellectuals” is a real insult to the conservative intelligentsia.
Chewing the finger ends, gibbering, jumping at faint noises, hiding under the covers.
I thought of insisting that we cut all incoming information from the outside world, but the S.O. would shove me in the basement with the other unwanted things.

To be an incredible lying sleazebag, to hire the rethug hatchet-men who slimed my family back in 2000, and to suck up to every right wing chickenhawk whore who’s been feeding off the kleptocracy for these past eight years…
I honestly never heard of Andy Stephenson and what my fellow FReepers did to him, before today. As I wasn’t a member of the Free Republic back in 2005. What I did say is that if what you claim happened actually did happen, then yes I find it to be morally reprehensible.
no champagne, arky?
I expect liberals will be drinking a lot of booze in celebration tomorrow.

To be an incredible lying sleazebag, to hire the rethug hatchet-men who slimed my family back in 2000,
For five and a half years McCain had no surrogates, and had to spread his slanders and fabrications by himself.
That link doesn’t do justice. I’ll do better shortly.
My wife made me canvass for Obama; here’s what I learned
The Republican Party would have a lot of soul searching to do if it had a soul.
Ah yes, Christopher Buckley, the son of the late great William F. Buckley, is who I presume you’re refering to there Lesley. I have to admit, that I am very dissapointed in the younger Buckley, that he would actually sell out his father’s legacy, all because Obama will bring America back to the years of the New Deal. Younger Buckley, misinterpreting Edmund Burke, thinks that going back to the days of the New Deal would be conservative, because it was in the past and therefore would be a reaction against Bush’s supposed “modernity.” Its a shame younger Buckley wasn’t born with his father’s intelligence.
“Are you saying that Rugged is not RUGGED?”
You’re right, I’m not that RUGGED. The parody troll is whom I presume your refering to. I am the original Rugged, who first posted here back in February, until one of you liberals (most likely) decided to do a parody of me. And a pretty piss poor parody at that, claiming I’m afraid of pelicans and a member of the reformed church of aryan whiteness, whatever that is. So you’re right I’m not the parody troll RUGGED, I’m the original Rugged.
Obama:”Ich bin ein beginner”
Okay, I gotta admit, that’s pretty good. Which is why I’m sure no rightwinger thought of it himself. Perhaps it was Dennis Miller, in one last involuntary spasm of creativity, who bestowed that line on them.
Also, I must salute your “fair and balanced” approach to the comments, actually including the few respectful ones. Much more magnanimous than any rightblog would ever be in reverse circumstances.
So you’re right I’m not the parody troll RUGGED, I’m the original Rugged.
Well that’s important.

So, you won’t be going to FR any more then?
Because, dude, seriously, if I found out that the collective posters at Sadly, No! had deliberately made some innocent guy’s cancer worse before he died, I wouldn’t want to hang around here any more, or go around saying “the posters at Sadly, No! are really decent, honest people”.
Just saying.

I doubt that…I think your imposter#2 of Rugged in Montanna. There are at least 3 parody trolls of Rugged in Montanna, as well.
I wish all imposters/parody trolls would number their nom de plumes accordingly for to minimize reader confusion. For instance, I think we have 50 mutations of Gary Ruppert posting here.
Of course I’m still going to stay on the Free Republc. That was only one incident, and I still don’t know the complete story, so for now I’m just taking your word for it. We all make mistakes, myself included. However, I’ve made many deep friendships on the Free Republic, and I find the overwhelming majority of the people there to be patriotic, intelligent, Godfearng men and women, who sincerly love their God and their Country and truly want whats best for her. I enjoy my time over there, and I don’t plan on leaving. They are my friends, and my fellow conservative brothers and sisters. And I care about them deeply.
The news of Grandma Dunham’s passing has softened my mood considerably. Like I said earlier, fuck the freepers – there are more powerful ways of dealing with our reactions to death, such as music:

Now, don’t the freepers seem so much more inconsequential now? The next 28 hours for me will consist of equal parts of bearing witness to history being made, feeling relief that reality will finally be vindicated in this country, and drinking toasts to Grandma Dunham and the cloud of saints I have known, who have longed for such a day but didn’t live to see it with their own eyes. Prodigious amounts of alcohol will be involved, as should be the case at any respectable wake.
Hey, Chickenshit Rugged in Mom-tana and Chickenshit The Tr-oaf; get lost now for tonight and don’t come back until McWattles wins.
Another “card carrying” republican who is voting for Obama.
For a long time, moderate conservatives have buried their heads in the sand; believed their party hadn’t been overtaken by the fringe-monsters of the ribs, bucket, and watermelon graphics-making variety. Those who have been paying attention during the election campaign have realized that’s exactly what’s happened.
McCain has not distanced himself from the “souls that, crablike, crawl continually toward darkness, going backward in life rather than advancing, using their experience to increase their deformity, growing continually worse, and becoming steeped more and more thoroughly in the intensifying viciousness, but invited them in, hired them, made them an instrumental part of his campaign. The gist of McCain’s campaign is a promise to perpetuate more of the Bush crazy with a little lip service to the so-called joe plumbers, using a cardboard cutout of his idea of what working people represent. Even his cutout fails…Joe not being a plumber and all.
If more moderate conservatives and even some neocons are voting for Obama it’s because they’ve become alienated and disgusted with the direction of the party they’ve voted for out of habit and loyalty for years. Many of them have kids in the armed forces. They are losing their homes, their jobs. Nothing about the Republican Party cares for them or their interests.
Their vote for Obama is a vote against what the GOP has become.
You reek of shoelimpy.
And that’s not good.

Ask me on Wednesday. Or (maybe) this time tomorrow.
I wish all imposters/parody trolls would number their nom de plumes accordingly for to minimize reader confusion. For instance, I think we have 50 mutations of Gary Ruppert posting here.
Perhaps, but there’s only one Ann Althouse.

Rugged in Montana — it’s probably the least of what you’ve missed viewing things through red-state-colored specs, but please do re-view the first 30 minutes or so of The Last Supper. The “very conservative” “war hero” who’s killed during that period? He’s a serial killer who’s been murdering young girls. Yes, truly.
Curiously, my take on the movie was that it was the abandonment of their liberal principles that led to the students’ moral corruption, and ultimately their deaths.
Oh come on, you can’t tell me you don’t miss this.
I’m sure a couple(?) of parody trolls don’t miss it.
Ah, yes. And let us go back to the times of threads dedicated to annieangel and threads dedicated to everything but annieangel. Those were the Good Old Days.
I’m for constantly rotating stupid names.
I got your constantly-rotating stupid name here!
I prefer to keep my stupid name in the boot, so it remains free of wear-and-tear for when it’s needed in an emergency. Like a vice-president.

But I’m afraid I cannot honor your request to leave. I’m going to be here throughout this election process, until PA is called for McCain in the wee hours and the Great Liberal Freakout begins.
I think you need to wait till 11:00 because the media are going to be big chickenshits but PA won’t be called then, VA and HI will and that’s the end of the night. McCain loses. It doesn’t matter what happens after that for you. The gimmes plus VA is the end of a John McCain map. After that they won’t care and it’s a bloodbath for republicans. They just start calling everything.
How can you folks be paying attention to right wing trolls at a time like this?
Killfile them already.
I hope SN takes a holiday from the wingnuts tomorrow. I mean, after eight long years, it’s time to take a break, no? Yes.
Eternal vigilance is the price of one’s wingnut watcher wings.
Give me a break son, PA will go for McCain. Thanks of course to Obama’s remarks about people who believe in God and own guns are “bitter.” Now this will be interesting, Pennsylvania hasn’t gone Republican since 1988, maybe this will be the start of a new trend.
Virginia is an entirely different story. It is a solid red state, which hasn’t voted for a Democrat since 1964, and won’t this year either, despite what leftwing pollsters and the dinosaur media want you to think. I’m predicting McCain will win Virginia by at least 5 percentage points.
I’m definately looking foward to tommarrow.
Of course, PA won’t be called until the end of the night. But hey, this is the media we’re talking about, they’re not know for honesty.

And by boot you mean bonnet…I mean lorry…I mean lift…I mean loo…

I’ve got right about $600 in my bank account. I’ll give you that $600 for $300 on McCain winning either of those states. 1:2 odds. Wanna play?
I’m not a gambling man, but this time I’ll make an exception.
Let us now lead our trolls in a round of whistling past the rethuglican graveyard.
Like I mentioned earlier, polls are biased. Any idiot claiming to be a pollster can make his poll show whatever results he desires. Simply by overrepresenting certain groups disproportionate to their actual numbers. For example, if a certain pollster wants to show the Democratic candidate winning around 60%, than he would poll sixty Democrats for every forty Republicans, which would come pretty darn close to his desired result. Of course, you’ll get some Democrats switching sides to vote Republican, and some Republicans switching sides to vote Democrat, but that happens in every election. The end result would still be close to the one the pollster originally desired. Its all simple mathematics my friend.
Simple Math, RIM, I’m offering you $600 if McCain wins PA and VA. You only need to put up $300. This should be easy money for you. You don’t have $300? I’ll take it in installments. Do you believe in the McCainiacs or not?

Proud to be American once again
I don’t know what kind of president Barack Obama will be, but I know this: He has made me proud of America again. And also of Americans…. I am a Canadian who was born and grew up in the United States. For most people like me, the past few years have been dreadful. We lost our native country to men without honour. We lost it to people who authorized torture, secret prisons and indefinite detention. We lost it to people who made America hated and feared around the world and then, for good measure, presided over a global financial collapse. We gave up trying to defend America to all those critics who love to wallow in its wickedness – because, for once, they were right, and we were ashamed.
I don’t know how Mr. Obama will do as president, but I know this: He will give Americans their country back. He will work to make it the kind of country that people can respect again.
I’ll give you that $600 for $300 on McCain winning
I’m not a gambling man, but this time I’ll make an exception.
Please send the above sums care of myself to the International Internet Traditions Awareness Institute for safekeeping until such time as the last wingnut has declared the election result valid.
I’ll give you $600 if he wins either of them.
If I were Rugged in Montanna (#11), I’d do a 2nd mortgage on the double-wide and pawn the Ford 8N and go all in on McCain…Intrade is offering up once-in-a-lifetime odds to clean up on!
BTW, Obama just took Dixville Notch. When Republicans lose Dixville Notch, NH, they are fu<ked.
I’m not a gambling man, but this time I’ll make an exception.
If that amounts to a take, be here Nov. 5. I’ll pay up. I expect the same. I’ve never welched in my life. When you lose I want my $300.
Goddammit, they got my wallet!
Deal, my liberal friend.

Don’t forget the M1.
next week Palin will have her very own show on Fox. She’s damned if she’ll return to Alaska now that she’s had a taste of Armani and Louis Vuitton
Deal, my liberal friend.
We’ve just started. I’ll liberate $600 from the rest of my budget but I want my $300 if things don’t pan out your way. Don’t make me think worse of conservatives by hiding.
Oh well, I had hoped that early voting would be so overwhelming that Obama would have won before Election Day even started.
Still got an hour and 40 mins here until Election Day, but I work early.
Get out there and vote, all you crazy Sadly people in the U.S. what haven’t already voted. And I say that with love.
I have a good friend in Nigeria who would be happy to assist with the transaction.

Margaret Wente…(retch!).
Real nice. Especially coming from the same comfort-addicted, well-spoken hater who creamed her undies every time Bush threatened a brown person back before it was okay to call the emporor naked.
Man, Saturday Night Live is going to hate it when this election is over.
henry, i can’t stand wente either – and wish to god she’d never relocated to canada – but it’s telling that she’s more in favour of obama than mccain. for all of her faults she can’t reasonably side with the mcpalin nutbase.
I’m sure it is quite embarrassing to constantly be called out as a hypocrite.</I/
By the Republican-I-hate-fags-just-ignore-that-dick-in-my-ass-Party?
By the G-fiscally-responsible-O-how-many-trillion-can-we-burn-P?
Sure is. Devastating, in fact.
It’ll be a happy day at the ozone pad when the great state of Arizona goes for the hypnobama.
Anywho, 15 hours until the great drunken vote-a-thon hits full swig. Uh, swing.
What?!? But their tears taste like nectar and the flop sweat smells like a freshly mowed lawn in the middle of a wildflower field.
We’ll give her that, Lesley.
I just looked up Dixville Notch on the Google Map. How very cool and it’s in my neck of the woods.

Actually, despite being a banker, she was quite the leftist herself (along with her husband, Barry’s putative grandfather, who was a truly raving leftist).

So the poster thinks it’s appropriate to imply (“putative”), on the basis of absolutely nothing, that the recently deceased Madelyn Dunham cuckholded her husband, and that “Stanley Ann” wasn’t her husband’s child. Yeah, right.
http://www.kansasprairie.net/kansasprairieblog/?p=8218
“Putative” my lily-white (possibly ancestrally affected by marauding Vikings, Huns, extremely attractive persons of color and depredations committed by “white” males who didn’t recognize the personhood of non-whites) ass.
That is an amazingly outrageous assumption to make about Obama’s grandmother.
..I’m pleasantly aware that I’m touching a nerve here..
Whatever turns your crank
Funny how many pundits are saying, now that McLame’s last gasp comeback has really and truly, for sure, failed to materialize, that America has been changing.
Weiners.
Couldn’t track a muddy dog across a clean floor.
Hey…. way back up there….. way way back up there:
Rugged in Montana: Dude. If you’re gonna wear a rug, it totally defeats the purpose to run around announcing the fact.
I don’t know how I’m going to get through work tomorrow and I’m a Canadian!
soooooooo excited about John McPalin’s loss. Does this make me a bad person?
Did you guys see the very first comment at Newsbusters? It’s
either violently stupid orparody trolling on a scale not seen since the invasion of Normandy, to wit:The scariest thing of all? I can’t be for sure that it’s really a joke.
That sounds convenient. I reckon we will put the freepers on the first evacuation ship when first signs show up that this is about to happen? So they can make our new habitat safe from liberals?
Sorry for the rain, but I thought I’d mention Greg Palast:
More here: http://www.truthout.org/110308A
It would be very ‘meta’ if you could make a movie called Spoiler, but engineer the plot so that just knowing that the movie was called Spoiler would be a spoiler. Then you could keep the title secret, so as not to spoil it.
kiki, I am -so- in love with you right now.
Let’s remember folks that twerps on our side can sound just as rotten and spiteful.
A gent over at Wonkette this weekend was screaming about how selfish it was for Sarah Palin not to abort her baby because he has Downs Syndrome and is just a “retard.” To wit:
“I’ll tell you what is TRULY “absolutely disgusting”: bringing a retarded child into the world knowing that it will never be able to take care of itself or have a normal life just to validate your nutty God-botherer credentials to the other nutty God-botherers.”

The Intertubes does not bring out the best in humans when we are prompted in a properly Pavlovian fashion to snort out nasty snot.
Cheers.
Well yeah and also when we find places where people aren’t likely to disagree with us or call us on our obnoxious shit. Which is why all extremists should be rounded up and fed to fuching ferrets.
Doug,
Unfortunate proof, once again, of the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory.
doug watts
here’s the difference. anyone can post at wonkette. you register, you post. if i were a ratfucking republican (i’m sorry, was that redundant?) i would leave posts like that all over the place, to create your sense of false equivalency.
whereas, at freerepublic, they ferret out heretics quickly. what you are seeing there is straight up mass hate, none of this namby pamby maybe-a-guy-who-may-be-one-our-side, but real genuine right wing fever swamp.
The intertubes are full of people who think that two things on two different sides of any issues always cancel each other out, and are unable therefore to recognize anything approaching reality.
so fuck your cheers and your tendentious bullshit.
Actually, if Obama has the nads to follow up on the intention expressed to go after any or all criminal activities of BushCo, with regard to the more highly-connected wingnuts I’d beg to differ … some of them may indeed be “going away” on an adventure into the bowels of the penal system.
Bon voyage, says I.
These people have real style.
And jim, I’m with you on the ‘going away’ thing – a fine time for a holiday, methinks.
Good luck for termorrer, USians. I feel like a kid the night before Christmas – I won’t be able to sleep for the excitement, and I’m on the other side of the ferkin’ planet. I have no idea how you folks are going to stand it.
Help me here people.
Americans are getting up right now and going to the polls, right? On a school day? Just trying to get this all in perspective…
So it’s the most important day ever in my natural born life. I told my kids as I kissed them goodnight that the first black president of America (AMERICA) is about to be elected in the most powerful country in the world. And didn’t lie.
I’m pulling the kids out of school to watch history & believe it’s the right thing to do…assure me the electorate agrees…
That’s for you, Magda. People in Virginia aren’t turning out in record numbers early in the morning because they’re excited about voting for McSame.
Oh heavens…..the Freepers are worse than I have seen in a long time.
Did anyone else read about the bogus claims about voting being spread around? The “Republicans vote on Tuesday, Democrats on Weds.” as well as this Holocaust stuff? This is SOOOO dirty yet it’s still happening!

Quote from the FAUX nooze weather lady: It’s been decades since we’ve had weather this nice on election day in central Ohio.
At just after 8, we were voters 303 and 304 in my smallish town. Not bad!
And now I’ll put on my Dave Broder hat:
I got my hair cut this Saturday, and my barber told me he thinks it’s going to be a landslide.
For Obama.
/broder
The McCain campaign, ladies and gentlemen, has been running on media smoke and mirrors. They’ve spent millions of dollars trying to act out the PUMA fantasy of Pennsylvania turning on Obama for not being white enough; they’ve spent more, and precious time leading up to the election, trying to win back Virginia by convincing typically Republican DC exurb voters that they’re communists and the idiots down south are who really matter.
McCain is a media creature, he’s played by the media’s rules, and the media are giving him every chance they possibly could to win this one. They should have called it last week, and I doubt they’ll let it sink in for a month.
And Rugged will still be saying this dumb shit after PA goes to Obama by two-digit numbers and VA goes Obama before the polls close.
So Obama’s going to win the election, eh? What wonderful news . . . for McCain!!!1
Thunder’s right- the weather’s gonna be gorgeous across Ohio today. Turnout will unreal.
Lively Up Yourself.
I’m terribly embarrassed for the few apparently Republican individuals who would make cruel, insensitive, cynical comments over a situation involving Obama’s deeply personal loss. My sympathies go out to Obama and his family at this time. He may not have received my vote, but I think we all owe him our heartfelt sympathies.
Darn it, WordPress oppressed my youtube link to Three Little Birds.
Rock on, stryx. And don’t worry about a thing…
[…] conservatism indeed. Absolutely disgusting. Here too. And here. One […]
Gavin, I want to thank you for posting some of the more heartfelt and respectful responses. I think it’s important to realize that not everyone who hangs out in that hideous hellhole is a hideous hellspawn.
But damn, the others sure go out of their way to make up the lost ground!
Americans are getting up right now and going to the polls, right? On a school day? Just trying to get this all in perspective…
Magda, Federal elections are federal holidays, so most cities and states close their offices, there’s no mail delivery, and generally, schools are closed.
Any idiot claiming to be a pollster can make his poll show whatever results he desires.
I’d like to take a poll: how many SadlyNaughts think RiM is fulla shit?
RiM, we’ll publish that as the latest Zogby poll showing an Obama victory, mmmmmmmmmmmK? 😉
Too many cooks spoil the broth and the result is that the McCain campaign has exploded like a space rocket.
People in Virginia aren’t turning out in record numbers early in the morning because they’re excited about voting for McSame.
That’s my feeling about seeing and hearing about all these long lines this morning — it’s GOTTA be for OBAMA!
I am so excited today I don’t know what to do with myself. I just don’t know what to do. I think I’ll make a cake.
Hearing about Obama’s grandmother’s death started the waterworks last night. Then this a.m. Magda Carter’s comment above brought tears to my eyes. Watching the clip of Obama voting with his beautiful family around him brought tears to my eyes. DANGNABIT I am NOT a weepy sentimentalist type! I am a cranky old BITCH!! and I have been voting for Dems for president since 1972 for pete’s sake!! There’s no crying in POLITICS!! I guess I’ve been Hypnobamaized!!!
Too many cooks spoil the
brothSAMMICH and the result is that the McCain campaign has exploded like aspace rocketFAULTY SHIT MOAT.And don’t worry about a thing…
Stevie Wonder is God.
Wow, only one more day of political ads. This is great! Of course if we win here it won’t end the wingnut seizures. I’m looking for some serious “situational Tourette’s” out of this one.
Mikey, was referring to the RIM/RiM dealie, you pie-script user you.
LOL. IZ NOT ORTHOGRAFIK NAZI!
The fact is, I’ve got your proof of voter fraud taking place right here.
the weather’s gonna be gorgeous across Ohio today.
Great news. Here in Salt Lake City it’s wrath-o-god-grade raining, so I’m glad I voted early.
Actually, piss-poor weather here might be good news for Obama, but I think Cap’n Long Nate Silver is right that Utah has a 0% chance of going blue.
Though my dear old dad went before hours to the first day of early voting in his town, just so he could be the first person in Utah to vote so Obama would be in the lead at least for a few seconds. I love my Dad, priceless curmudgeon he.
One more positive note from Seattle today…yesterday I dropped off my absentee ballot downtown at lunch and in the literally 10 seconds I was at the drop-off box a dozen other people came in to drop off their ballots as well. Then as I walked away from the building I saw a veritable…shall I say…tsunami of people bringing their ballots for early drop off.
Made me feel good, it did.
We come to “garnish earthlings with cilantro”.
Barack Obama versus Zalgon Twenty Six McCain?!
OneMan, I wasn’t too worried about Seattle (I switched my vote from there to PA, where I go to school) but that’s still awesome to hear! ^^
Xecky, that’s gorgeous. May any gods that exist bless your dad for such a thoughtful gesture – I could imagine my dad doing the same, although in his case he’d round up a dozen mates from his days in National Service to go with him (he’s a real community organiser type, my dad).
Srsly, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU? An accusation like this is terrible.
No, really. Suck my fucking cock and burn in hell.
i think someone should investigate the death of mrs. dunham. His other grandmother (African) has reportedly been taped stating that barack was born in kenya. The logical way to resolve the issue would be to ask his white grandmother about it. Something doesn’t add up.
this is telly awesome article.Thanks for sharing with us..
Nicely done, very impressive. Keep up the good work and of course, keep sharing your ideas.
