The Freepers attack Obama
Here's a sample of the kind of attacks Obama will be facing because of his win in Iowa. It's pretty disturbing.
Did the weakest Dem candidate for the general election won tonight? I think so. By sending forth Hussein Osama out of Iowa, Democrats have unwittingly weakened their general election prospects.
Hussein's exotic mixture of radical liberalism, Kwanzaa Socialism, antipathy towards the unborn, and weakness against his jihadi brethren will all come back to destroy him against almost any Republican opponent, even the snake-grope from Hope.
I think we as Republicans should be celebrating tonight at the coronation of Hussein, in whose presence millions of Democrat women, from elementary school teachers to journalism majors to law school grads to dykes on bikes will go weak in their knees.
As defenders of this great Republic, and of the pinnacle of Western civilization that it represents, we should all come together tonight and agree on a common strategy that will keep the White House from becoming a madrassa.
God Bless America, Land of the Free.
Pam has more...And expect a ton of those nasty spam type emails attacking Obama to flood your in-boxes that are usually meant for Hillary. One more thing---how did that Jim Robinson endorsement of Thompson work out for the Freepers?
Hussein Osama..... Hahahaah! They are already getting desperate.
Haha, they're like parodies of themselves. It's great. I am all for reaching out and trying to work with every one who's interested and willing and has more than 7 brain cells, but trying to have discussions with freepers is like working out physics equations with a crackhead.
I'd expected as much, unfortunately. I guess the real question is whether people can be convinced to be their worse or better selves when they go to the ballots next November. Of course, it doesn't really matter who would be the Dem nominee - these (insert foul term here) have no shame, and will use any tool, violate any sense of decorum to win.
"Hussein’s exotic mixture of radical liberalism, Kwanzaa Socialism, antipathy towards the unborn, and weakness against his jihadi brethren will all come back to destroy him against almost any Republican opponent, even the snake-grope from Hope."
When I read something like this I always think it has to be an over the top satire of a right wing nut. It never turns out to be because they really believe what they write.
Amazing.
I. Think. I'm. Going. To. Be. Sick...
Freepers. What a waste of O2.
I like Obama on a personal level.
But what has the guy actually ACCOMPLISHED in congress?
The one thing that I learned is he pushed a bill through that required police interrogations to be videotaped in Illinois - kudos to him on that.
Other than that, I am drawing a blank.
After asking people on Daily Kos, I got the above example and the rest of the commenters advised me to "just watch the man" and "get his energy".
I guess being a high school debate team level public speaker is good enough to become a president of the Yoo Ess of Ey these days.
Oh and Oprah likes him.
(Shhhh! For the record I like Gravel and, since that good, progressive, intelligent candidate has no chance in hell in todays world of lobbyists controlling elections, I will probably go with Edwards).
And expect a ton of those nasty spam type emails attacking Obama to flood your in-boxes that are usually meant for Hillary.
Got one today already!
Is this real? Call me naive but you've got to be kidding!!!
I'm simply stunned...
what the hell is Kwanzaa Socialism?
It seems REMARKABLY racist, but maybe it actually means something.
Anonymouse @ 3:
You mean they've developed enough skills to use tools? Are they primates yet?
Dear John,
I have my own thoughts on this subject. I don’t know if you would agree but, there are definitely some sinister forces from a few different directions on the right regarding Obama. They hate him and love him at the same time in my eyes. It is just that they hate Hillary Clinton even more so. Joe Conason wrote a very good article back in December, 2007, on this subject.
Yes, the Republicans when and where they can, will be voting for Barack Obama in any primary election they can. They want Hillary Clinton to lose in the primaries and send Barack Obama to face the Republican challenger in the general election. People under 30 for example are less likely to vote in the 2008 presidential election. A McCain-Obama race, will ultimately go to McCain, due to the inexperience of Obama and the war record of McCain. Unless one is naïve then, this little bit of information would be lost. Yes, the Republicans “whom supposedly love Obama, and other Independents who would usually vote Republican in these primaries are voting for Obama, but don’t expect those people to repeat this vote in November, 2008. Hillary would give McCain or other Republicans a much tougher fight. Bill after all, did beat the GOP TWICE.
Check this article out by Joe Conason:
Why conservatives love Barack Obama
Clinton haters who think the Illinois senator can beat Hillary support him now, but their affection will fade if he gets the nomination.
By Joe Conason
Salon.com
Dec. 21, 2007 | In the weeks since Karl Rove offered his unsolicited advice on how to defeat Hillary Clinton in the pages of the Financial Times, right-wing expressions of support for Barack Obama have become increasingly conspicuous and voluble. Although often couched in high-flown moral terms that accept the Illinois senator's definition of himself as a fresh and unsullied figure, his Republican endorsers cannot quite conceal their underlying animus.
They hate Hillary Clinton and they think he just might be able to beat her.
Exactly why the American right hates the Clintons so fervidly remains a subject of debate among both political scientists and psychiatrists, but the persistence of those emotions is beyond dispute, especially among commentators and activists with little actual exposure to Hillary Clinton herself. (Evidently her conservative colleagues in the Senate have developed warmer feelings for the first lady they once demonized, but that's another topic.) So powerful is their fury that they will not hesitate to promote the career of a liberal black politician whose background and religious affiliation they regard with suspicion. Of course, they're also quite confident that they can bring him down later, too.
For the moment, at least, he is their shining hero. That is why the Weekly Standard ran a cover story in early December that provided a swooning rehash of Obama's life story and a series of masterful scenes from the campaign trail. ("He sounds like a man who knows what he's talking about and knows what he wants to do. There are no questions that catch him off guard, no issues he hasn't considered.") Written by Stephen Hayes, the admiring biographer of Dick Cheney and perhaps the last journalist on earth who still believes that Saddam Hussein was allied with al-Qaida, the flattering Obama profile raises none of the expected concerns over his eagerness to negotiate with the Iranians and other enemies of democracy. Why spoil the moment?
Read the entire story @:
http://www.salon.com/opinion/conason/2007/12/21/right_and_obama/
Yes, experience does count. The Democrats and the little Obama flag wavers will lose BIG in a general election despite the hype.
Edwards would also do much better than Obama in a general election. Keep drinking whatever Kool-Aid the fluffy-fluffs give you on your cable TV!
Why do we draw attention to what these people say, as if they have any importance?
I understand drawing attention to the words of authority figures for the sake of accountability, but this is just a waste of time and space.
If we took time to illustrate all the stupid stuff on the internet ...
Who's Hussein?
Kwanzaa is a misspelled word, originally from the Swahili word kwanza, to set up a fake holiday..
This was all part and parcel of an attempt in the 1960's to make Swahili a national language
for Africa, a continent of hundreds of languages, maybe even thousands.
And of course socialism is just their buzz word for any policy that doesn't favor the fascist corporate party and all their elites.
*yawn* that's the best they got? Grade school disparagings? The OVERWHELMING turnout in Iowa, of all places, on the Dem side makes it clear that the 25% Freepers are just that . . . 25%. BFD. Drag on knuckles . . . drag on.
Hilarious! this is not an attack! It is a sketch on SNL. They even said "dykes on bikes" hahaha! and it is a funny. it rhymes!!!
the attacks appeal to bigots...what can I say..
"Did the weakest Dem candidate for the general election won tonight?"
That's "win" with an 'i', Mr. Spiccoli.
The Viscount @ 7:
What does Hillary get in her in-box?
George Bush. Dumbest.Fucker.Ever.Born.
I guess his supporters are actualy a little dumber, but you all know what I mean....
This isn't worrying. The only people tripe like that would appeal to, aren't voting for Obama anyway.
Here's a great site to keep on hand. It's great for letting you know if what the candidates are saying is true.
Be sure and check out their "pants on fire" page. It tells you about garbage the freepers send out and whether or not it's true.
"his jihadi brethren"
This is simply garbage. The only people that buy into this are still hoping that Tom Tancredo gets back into the Presidential race.
Funny how these people attacking "Hussein" is an attack of Obama Barack's name (which sounds suspiciously Islamic to them).
These are the same folk who insist we're against Romney because of his Mormonism, before defeating him in Iowa presumably for the same reason, while claiming Christians are under attack.
Wow, it's so sad but funny that they feel so threatened by Kwanzaa as to use it as an epithet.
I'm still cramping up from laughing so hard at Sean Hannity- His BFF Rudy Giuliani finished LAST. He's not taking any calls about it on his radio show, which isn't surprising.
Formula of the GOP:
1. Send out voters where they can to vote in Obama over Hillary Clinton as in Iowa.
2. Republicans will then settle on their own candidate in a unity fashion at the 2008 Republican National Comvention.
3. The 2008 primaries are more about rigging the Democrats choice to the liking of the GOP, then its about actually picking the 2008 Republican presidential nominee. That is why the right wing pundits on the networks are already saying that the choice for the GOP may not be settled until their Republican National Comvention.
Read between the lines here folks. Take care.
For someone that says "we as Republicans should be celebrating," that person doesn't sound very happy. We all know Republicans want Clinton to win the nomination.
Mr. XXXX @ 10:
If experience counts why would Edwards do so much better than Obama? Edwards has only held one elected office and that for only one term.
Lost in the media focus on the victories of the supposed "change" candidates in Iowa last night are the dramatic differences in the priorities of each party's voters. As Iowa Democrats headed to their caucuses in record numbers last night, the sputtering American economy topped their list of concerns. But in a disturbing hint of things to come from the GOP, Iowa Republicans instead were looking for someone to blame in making immigration their most important issue.
For the details on the parties' different priorities, see:
"Iowa Aftermath: Immigration the New GOP Wedge Issue in '08."
Only in the Village is a win a loss.
Also, can someone please explain to me what the fug Kwanzaa Socialism is? I have a creeping suspicion it only exists as an entry on Conservapedia.
Amato: You're surely no more surprised than I am about the pissants coming out the woodwork in the aftermath of Obama's win in Iowa.
As to how it should be handled? Why not take a cue from Tecumseh Sherman, who enlightened a certain General Wilson about their mutual commanding officer: "Wilson, I'm a damned sight smarter man than Grant; I know more about organization, supply and administration and about everything else than he does; but I'll tell you where he beats me and where he beats the world. He don't care a damn for what the enemy does out of his sight but it scares me like hell. I'm more nervous than he is. I am much more likely to change my orders or to countermarch my command than he is. He uses such information as he has according to his best judgement; he issues his orders and does his level best to carry them out without much reference to what is going on about him...".
Yeah, well did anyone hear the articulate Jewish woman who called into the Ed Schultz show the other day, saying that we "were at war with Islam"? And that she would never vote for a Muslim like Obama, who went to a madrassa?
Propaganda works.
Okay... here's why I think this is scary (and have always thought so). This kind of crap insights the freepers on the right who are heavily armed and prone to delusions of persecution. There's a reason that many great progressives in the past have been targeted by the assassin's bullet. From Lincoln to the JFK/RFK/Martin Luther King Jr. tragedies, the parasitic paranoids who latch on to this kind of attack through innuendo sincerely believe this crap and eventually they get panicked enough to act on their ignorant fears.
I truly worry about Obama's safety given that in the more conservative parts of this country he has many marks against him: i.e.- he's black, he's liberal, he's got Muslim heritage, and he's go two names that sound similar to two well-known enemies of the US. I can't tell you how many bottom feeders that combo will freak out. Posts like the one cited above just serve to encourage potential disaster (along with just showing that anyone with a 60 IQ and a computer can post on the internet these days)
Too be honest, I'm more worried about Diebold than the freepers.
I can't believe you link to freerepublic.
I can't go to that site. It seriously makes me ill.
Republicans should be celebrating that they aren't yet up on charges of treason!
not YET.
Ahhh, yes. The republican voice. What can we say about the republican voice...
After that wholly un-American rant,the author finishes with:"God Bless America, Land of the Free."Its interesting really how the MSM will allow this typically wingnut hatred to fly under their radar,while at the same time bemoaning the "Angry Left".
C-span had an open mic call in show a few minutes ago and two callers said they were planning not to vote repub, but after hearing Huckabee speak, they had decided to vote for him. They referred to him not being part of the machine and a down to earth man.
Sounds like people are once again liking the "good old boy" image. Jesus, haven't they learned by now that a "good old boy" can totally screw our country right into the ground? Next you'll hear people like this say he's the kind of guy they would like to have a root-beer with. (I'm assuming the good preacher doesn't drink alcoholic beverages)
Bah, they can huff and puff, but at the end of the race, they'll only blow. The Republiscum smear machine is finished. Long live legitimate debate.

Their upset because Obama defeated Fred. FR's founder endorses Fred. Go Figure!
Filthy Harry @ 27:
I see that you want another loss by the Democrats in the 2008 presidential election.
I see you are a glutton for punishment. If you think that Obama is a better choice to "win" then go with him.
Personally, Edwards is the only Democrat who has a cross-over appeal which is not coming from sinister forces.
I remember back in 2004, when I knew people here in CT that voted for Kerry in the primary and then backed Bush in the general election. Things like this are done all the time.
The GOP wanted Bush to go up against Kerry just like they want Obama in the 2008 election.
Michael Dukakis already warned the Democrats that they should not think that they have the 2008 presidential election all wrapped up.
Tequila @ 38:
If only.
The fuck is "Kwanzaa Socialism"? Oh, I get it - Obama is African American and Africans celebrate Kwanzaa. Yeah, I get it. Hey freepers, that's some racial slur you got their. Why not just go out and scream "How the fuck did this n***er win?" I mean, that IS what you're driving at, isn't it? And he won in Iowa - arguably the whitest of the early primary states. What the hell you think he's gonna do when he gets to Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois, South Carolina (you know, the states with large numbers of "those people" living in them? The freepers can't handle the fact that even Republicans don't like their choice of candidates - hey, sucks to be you guys doesn't it. Listen, if Edwards can't pull out in front, and Obama is the Democratic Presidential nominee, he WILL be the next President of the United States. My advice to the reichwing freaks: Get out your precious gun collections and start rapturing yourselves right now - avoid the rush later.
Orangutan. @ 32:
Well said! Me too!
Mr. XXXX, did Dukakis really say that?
Cuz, I said that too.
Correction: "That's some racial slur you got there..." - tucking fypos!

Oh, man.
Are you really that naive?
another in a long line of race based initiatives from the republican base
It's actually pretty funny. He ends his post with "Land of the Free" yet attacks Obama's freedom of choices in an insulting way. BTW, this country hasn't been the land of the free for 7 years.
Mr. XXXX @ 42:
So the fact that a black candidate took the caucus in one of the whitest states in the Union is lost on you. Thanks for sharing, but if I was an ignorant slut, I'd keep it to myself. Just saying.
Mr. XXXX @ 42:
If experience counts why would Edwards do so much better than Obama? Edwards has only held one elected office and that for only one term.
"Why can’t Iowans tell that he’s a Muslim terrorist sympathizer? Even libs can’t be this stupid!"
I guess I'm pretty stupid because I thought Obama is a Christian. Live and learn.
And...and...and he's going to turn the white house into a madrassa! OMG! Isn't that, like, a school? Geez.
Some of the posters were pretty clearminded about what a liability Huckleberry is.
big deal. I hear equally insane crap out of C&Lers as well... Not that the Freepers are worth a jolly god damn... but really people - just try reading some of the insane drivel that gets posted here.
ysbaddaden @ 17:
Oh, man, I soooo wanna answer that!
But the little voice in my head is tellin' me how wrong that would be.....*sigh*....damned little voice.
In a general election, Obama would lose in a landslide...
Just saying...
Despite their right-wing bravado, the right wingers are actually scared of Hillary Clinton and this is another reason they will be voting for Obama in those primaries where Republicans can vote for Democratic candidates.
Hillary Clinton's team, which is, yes, made-up of many of Bill's team, did beat the GOP TWICE!
Obama is just another Joe Lieberman anyhow. Wake up before its too late and you are all depressed seeing McCain being sworn in as the next president of the United States of America.

Good luck....
The way things are going for the Democratic Party as of today, I would not expect anything, but a Republican victory in 2008.
Just like 2004, many of you are not facing REALITY!!!!
I have tried to inform some of you here, but its a waste of time. Keep deluding yourselves. Take care.

Johnny2Bad @ 60:
I'm the first one to say that these things can turn in a New York minute. But considering the choices, it is interesting even when considering the numbers. Perhaps the biggest story is Edwards taking second, despite the compared levels of spending. Regardless, it all reads to me like the people are paying attention and voting with their issues, not their team loyalties.
Of course, I'm just one guy in the internet, and can't claim to have anymore knowledge than the rest of you.
I think there's a bunch of Freepers on this board. This is the problem with having an open blog where people don't have to register and have some accountability for their statements.
Bitterness, despair and evil little innuendos.
This is actually pretty revealing. Everything you ever wanted to know about your opponents but were to dumb to ask. LOL

Free republic was born out of the alt.current-events.clinton.whitewater newsgroup. I'm conservative (Not Neo), and I've always hated Freepers:) They are GOP/Rush hacks. If anything, I wish they would attack the warmongering Clinton. Speaking of political hacks: DNC Keith announcing Gravel was out of the race was shameful.
The best voting reform sites I've seen are

and

Ronin Tetsuro @ 79:
Ewige Blumenkraft! SHHHHHHH!
What type of stupid logic is that? "Experience counts". The public, according to polls, completely disagrees with McCain on almost every issue. McCain has backed issues, like the war or universal healthcare, that puts him at direct odds with the public. The public is concerned about the concentration of wealth and corporate power and McCain has more lobbyists working for him (they're all bad on this front however) than others and wants to continue the current set up with minor changes. The public doesn't want a continuation of the Bush foreign policy, McCain wants to continue it. None of this matters though because McCain has "experience".
If the public uses this stupid logic they deserve what they get. I hope, and would like to think, that they have a working brain and won't vote for someone that has experience basically causing the mess that the country is in (look at his opinions on issues and look at the country's problems, see a connection?).
Honestly, I think it's CLEAR, if you don't just buy conventional logic, that the public doesn't want "experience" in the way you're saying. "Experience" in and a strong connection to DC seems to be what people DON'T want in their candidates, if you haven't bothered to notice.
I love the fact that no matter who the Dems rally behind, the GOP acts like this is the perfect situation for them. It could be anyone...it wouldn't matter.
Hillary??? she's just a polarizing, evil bi*ch. Edwards??? He's just a sissy girlie-boy who already lost once with John Kerry.
It doesn't matter who the Dems select. It's just all part of the GOP's master plan.
How about this: the Dems are beyond thrilled that the GOP winner in Iowa is a scary ultra-religious redneck who believes that evolution is a myth.
The Iowa winner rarely, if ever, wins the nomination.
I guess they're tickled pink about Huckleberry winning?
"Did the weakest candidate won"...
That am so pathetic, it are laughable.
Here we go again with the right-wing nuts making a big deal over Obama's middle name.
It was only a matter of time. Be on the lookout for ignorance and grammatical errors galore. My English teacher would scream.
"Hussein Osama" HaHaHaHa those freepers are so Clever! Do they work for Fox Nonsense?
Ronin Tetsuro @ 79:
Very Illuminati-ating comment, Ronin. I see irony is not lost on you.
Wondermachine @ 72:
Yeah, bitterness and despair, but due to a couple things called experience and education.
Here is my favorite Freeper quote on the subject -
"Uniting the country on middle class values?
Oh, spare us. Obama wouldn’t have a clue with the middle class is all about. He’s so out of touch, especially with the white middle class."

In what sense is Obama out of touch with the middle class? Why would Obama be out of touch with the white middle class "especially"?
Does he think Obama is a space alien?
Obama is an American, just like the Freeper. Obama's mom was white, just like the Freeper. Obama didn't grow up rich, so he should know plenty about the middle class, shouldn't he? Does he think that just because Obama is a few shades darker that he is some sort of different creature entirely? LOL.
Obama does not need one single Republican vote to win this election. My best hope is that when he has won and he extends his hand to those on the right that they can find it in their hearts to admit to themselves that we are the United States of Amerca, that none of us really so different from each other. We like baseball, apple pie and Toyotas. ;)
Who knows, one day this Freeper might wake up. And if he doesn't, well, I for one am not going to worry about the ulcers he gets reading about the new President in the newspapers every day.
Best Wishes to everyone,

There was a time when, yes, the monitors would shoot down anything remotely sexist(My joke that Ann Coulter's adam's apple should be referred to as her shinin' beacon of liberty must've been deleted 5 times over a 3 month period before it was allowed), but I think the monitors have loosened up a bit. Still no conspiracy theories, and no personal* attacks. And no racism, either :D !
* "Paultards", "loons", "corporatists" when generalizing is not a personal attack, Paul trolls. "Paultards are fuckin' loons!", while not necessarily factual *ahem*, is not a personal attack. Saying "You, Andy K, suck dicks for a living" is, imo. Not that it bothers me(people sayin' it, that is, because doin' it bothers me- the overhead on chapstick alone is outrageous!), but it might bother someone else when said about them.
A couple of points.....
Contrarianism.......basically as far as far as I'm concerned the definition of a viable prediction is the OPPOSITE of what these idiots think....in fact it's been pretty much proven to be the case.
Also, believe it or not, most "mainstream" conservatives actually flinch at OVERT racism (I cite Altermeyer's book on authoritarianism). While they do tend to practice it in more subtle ways, this shit isn't going to appeal to them.
Also too, if you crunch the numbers, the aggregate of their preferred candidateS (Rudy, the Mormonator and Fred) over the whole of everyone casting ballots last night on both sides I'm guessing that they would come in less than 10% of the electorate.....without the fundies backing them with numbers these donkey dicks are pretty much harmless bags of hot air.

ABC cuts 3 from presidential debates
AP - 1 minute ago
NEW YORK - Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich filed a complaint with the FCC on Friday after ABC News excluded him, fellow Democrat Mike Gravel and Republican Duncan Hunter from its prime-time debates on Saturday.
Sean Hannity was on the attack today. It is like elementary school with the name calling (Osama and Hussein slips) and now they want to go after his church because they believe it is a black separatist church. Maybe they should look at their own churches..................Falwell anyone.

The country understands now that conservatism has failed as a government idealogy so they've got nothing left to run on but hatred, bigotry and misogyny. It won't work this year. The repugs are done.
Okonkolo @ 106:
Well you nailed this one too. I've been talking about Obama's experience before elected office. All the organizing he did in the poorest neighborhoods of Chicago. His training in one of the hardest hitting, take-no-prisoners, lefty schools of organizing (Saul Alinsky) and a lot of people on the liberal blogs' eyes roll. They don't know anything about it and don't recognize it or understand it. It's incomprehensible to me really. At one level, comparing that kind of commitment and sacrifice to another good guy (Edwards) did it while being compensated as a lawyer is *beyond me.* They want to paint Obama as a sell-out?!?! It's a ludicrous charge. And then they try to claim Obama's not a progressive either because he's not sainted perfection (as if Edwards or Clinton is). Grow up.
We've got some great candidates and they're all a VAST HEAD AND SHOULDERS IMPROVEMENT to the current regime.
[deleted--tone it down, Preacher man. Either you're gunning for a flame war or you want to give the freepers a juicy quote to link back to. Whichever way, we're not playing.]
Mainstream media isn't too much better. Supposedly Obama won because he text messages, is an instrument for the nebulous "change", and so forth.
Seems to me, the real reason for picking Obama was because he was smart enough to not vote for the Iraq war. Making the right choice, by knowing then what we knew then¹ is very helpful in evaluating leadership potential.
¹ We knew then that despite "firm" evidence of WMD in Iraq, the Bush regime was unable to point the weapon inspectors to any instance of WMD worthy of starting this war. I think about all the WMD inspectors came up with was a couple of missiles that could go a few hundred miles longer than allowed, but was no threat to the U.S.
One day I would like to meet a Freeper just so I know what the face of ignorance looks like. Now I admit I'm biased since I was unceremoniously banned from commenting on Free Republic, apparently my homosexuality was a problem. Having been declared a persona non grata there is of course a badge of honor. I do find it interesting that Freepers come in two stripes in their Presidential ambitions: Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson, so my question to them is "how is that working out for you?"
"By sending forth Hussein Osama out of Iowa"
"Hussein’s exotic mixture..."
I don't recall any "conservatives" calling GW by his middle name only. Why is that? Why would they do this with Mr. Obama's name?
Sean Hannity was on the attack today. It is like elementary school with the name calling (Osama and Hussein slips) and now they want to go after his church because they believe it is a black separatist church...
Hannity can't tell the difference between "black separatism" and black ENPOWERMENT.
Just another reason not to listen to his dumb-ass slobbering.
I prefer John Edwards and will be promoting him as much as possible, but I would vote for Obama just to shut the nervous ninny racists up.
They are like Matthews and O'Reilly. Terrified that a black man or a woman will spoil the white man power structure of this country.
Well their conservative heroes have just about ruined this country, and thanks to their idiotic greedy shortsightedness, we are very likely heading straight into a recession if not a full blown depression!!!!
We need a "liberal" leader to get us back out of this mess, just like FDR pulled America out of the fire after Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover ran it into the ground. John Edwards can do that. That is why I am sticking with him. Hillary and Obama strike me a more of the same.
This will flush the grotesque racists further out into the open.
Ghouls and cretins on parade.

Preacher Boob @ 117:
First of all I don't consider being called a muslim a 'charge' so what if he was? Why would he need to commandeer AF-1, it would be his plane. And why would he crash a plane into the whitehouse if he's the president? Wouldn't he live there?
Speaking of experience:
One president only served four terms in the State legislature and just a single term in the U.S. House of Representatives : Abraham Lincolm.
Hoover, Taylor, Grant and Eisenhower never ran for any kind of public office prior to his Presidential nomination.
But then Bush was a Governor....
Ron Paul leads Thompson by 6 percent according to polls in New Hampshire!
But Fox News refusal to allow Ron Paul to speak demonstrates they are not a News Agency – But a tabloid that seeks only to support biased agenda
In fact, I can’t find anything about Ron Paul on any Fox News web page or media programming
This makes Fox a Tabloid - Not a news agency!
doc Barb @ 126:
At this point I'd take someone 'lucky' over having experience.
Barrack & John landsliding the Rethugs near you in November 08 :)
Piren @ 74:
Could not have put it better Piren.
Saul Isen @ 127:
That's an insult to tabloids. What they are is the public relations arm of the republican party.
Is Preacher Boob a joke I just don't get? All I know is that I have been deleted for much less than comment number 117 on numerous occasions.
Hail to the Chimp @ 112:
This is exactly why whomever wins is facing a HUGE challenge in uniting this country. Too many people on both sides simply won't allow it. You already have the radical right digging up any dirt on Obama...while they mock him at every turn.
Look at what happened with John McCain when he had the nerve to co-sponsor a bill with Ted Kennedy. The conservatives absolutely exploded. All because a GOPer and a Dem actually did their job and joined forces to get something done.
Very sad. This country may be beyond hope.
Filthy Harry @ 113:
I think it resides in the same reality as Kwanzaa Socialism. Still don't want to check Conservapedia to find out.
Let them say what they will ... I'll take my chances with the guy who just won 8x the voters of their "big-time" candidates. I mean really, that's the draw of an Obama candidacy - a leader who draws support from the 80% of the population who are tired of exactly those type of crap emails/messages.
doc Barb @ 126:
was something...
"Did the weakest Dem . . . won tonight?" (Can we type tonight?)
" ... radical liberal" --- Isn't that phrase redundant to a repiglican?
"Kwanzaa Socialiasm"? - wow - tell me more . . . . How can these people even hit the right keys when they must be peeing their pants? Oh - that's right - they can't.
"Hussein Osama " -- "jihadi brethren" -- "snake grope from Hope" -- "dykes on bikes" -- "White House ... Madrassa" --- this is pretty amazing stuff - these repiglicans clearly have an untapped intellect of MASSIVE proportions!! How could this have gone undiscovered for sooooooooooooo long?
Bad news though - this part? - "... this great Republic, and of the pinnacle of Western civilization that it represents." --- that's not true anymore - compliments of Dumbya and others who promote a corporatocracy for America (including plenty of Dems).

Allowing Obama to win in Iowa is the start of picking a Huckabee off a racial sore.
It's going to be an uphill battle if Barrack Hussein Obama gets the nomination. The name alone is begging for Karl Rove to come out of retirement.
Ronin Tetsuro @ 135:
A black separatist church is one which has the democrats sit in the pews, and locks the republican in the toilet until the service is over.
"Is Preacher Boob a joke I just don’t get? "
It's sad these people have brought us to the point where it is no longer obvious isn't it? It would be no less idiotic than anything else they say. Anyway, he's trying to get a rise out of people.
Let me try it:
Just you wait. Once Huck win’s the nomination you’ll be forced to read the bible on the toilet and will get lashings for masturbating in your own bedroom. Just you wait and see.
Pete @ 133:
@ Site Monitors - Can you please do something about Preacher Boob. The rest of us want to have an educated and thoughtful discussion.
The Truth Hurts @ 134:
Yeah but you also have Hillary Clinton and her people announcing they are going to go extremely negative on Barack and that they have a file of new and old dirt on Barack.
"As defenders of this great Republic, and of the pinnacle of Western civilization that it represents...."
Man, if whoever wrote this is the pinnacle....we are doomed!!
Wondermachine @ 116:
Exactly. It's shocking how many people are ignorant of just how much real world experience Obama has. I'd say it better prepares him to deal with the domestic problems that desperately need attention. Unfortunately, his actions and votes as of late have me wavering in my belief that he would make the choices he's adamant he would make. I think there's a lot of pressure on him to 'prove' himself, and that's coming into direct conflict with his otherwise exemplary ideals.
Time will tell, if he wins it all.
Ruthless People @ 142:
Gee, I guess he better change his name to Joe Smith. I know most Americans are pretty thick in the head, but c'mon. If Obama's name is actually an issue, the US is beyond all help or hope.
Ruthless People @ 142:
Its the chance for Americans to refute the redneck bigoted past, and finally become civilised.
economic serfdom and paying exorbitant premiums for deniable services is pathetic in a supposedly western society.
We need UHC, a shakeup of the tax, social security, and pension system, "cradle to grave" sounds good to me,
as it does to 99% of the rest of the civilised world.
Remember Mexico has better medical services for more % of their people than the USA does.
Ronin Tetsuro @ 135:
Hahahahahahahahaha! arrrH i died! but happy. But I digress! Haha!
