    and

    AWESOME!

    Looks to me like she’s trying to convince him she really was his high school sweetheart and he isn’t buying it.

  3. KuroiMayuge says:

    Sad but true…

  4. Matrix says:

    Yeah, but unfortunately… so are Obama’s.

    • x-bert says:

      Note that no one has denied this fact as of yet.

      • PiMan says:

        Because we let everyone have their opinion.

      • D'oh says:

        And because there wasn’t a good discussion about the plans yet ;) We (people and media included) care too much about identity politics.

        • Matrix says:

          He’s a Democrat who vote along the party line. He’s a socialist just like most of his fellow Democrats. I know what the plan is. I am not willing to accept socialism’s tyranny.

          • And McCain’s proposed buy out of mortgages isn’t socialism? STFU Matrix until you learn something.

          • Seth says:

            I wish Obama were a socialist. Socialism isn’t tyranny. The free market is tyranny of the rich. A socioeconomic system should not give more control to those brutal enough to take advantage of others, which is what the free market does. Socialism means democratic control of the means of production. The free market means a small cabal of rich sociopaths controls the means of production.If you don’t like what we collectively decide, you have a choice to leave. The fact that you stay indicates your acceptance of our system.

            But all that is moot. Obama is no socialist. He’s completely middle of the road.

            • Ricky Quinn says:

              Set gets a gold star! ^_^

            • Duh says:

              Actually we don’t even have a free market. It’s a managed/regulated market. We HAD a free market up until about 1890 or so, when the government enacted anti-trust laws and etc. because the robber barons were screwing everyone. Now, THAT could be considered socialism. So could the SEC, FDA, Social Security, ADA, etc. I don’t see anyone whining about them. And yes, McCain’s buyout of mortgages is socialistic as well. Anybody ever heard the words ‘smear’ or ‘buzzword’?

            • ragnar_rahl says:

              Tyranny means rule by force– i.e. economic tyranny is socialism. It does not mean rule of consenting parties by offering to produce values for them, which is what rich people do.

          • stormfire says:

            something a lot of people don’t realize is that socialism isn’t a bad thing
            it works …….in theory…… capitalism works……….in theory. The problem
            with our capitalistic market is that we let it run away on itself and now it’s starting to crumble a bit.Sure, it’ll bounce back, it always has. If we take a little bit of control over the free markets and not let it run away with itself like we have been *ie a little touch of socialism we wouldn’t really have the mess we are in now. But regardless of which market system you choose (capitalism, socialism, even communism) somebody will always get screwed. usually the little guy. just with socialism the screwing isn’t so epic and everybody gets screwed a bit more evenly

    • mike says:

      a matter of opinion, which is why the pic fails. a better caption would’ve been:
      “Obama’s not an arab? -damn, now i have to actually compare policies and make an informed decision when i go to vote”

  5. cookie-ninja says:

    I heard about an old lady Mccain told to say something bad about obama- But she couldn’t remember if she was supposed to say Obama was an Arab, Muslim, or terrorist. This must be that.

    • osse says:

      “No, ma’am. He’s a decent family man”

      Seriously, why haven’t more people talked about McCains implication that Arabs are not decent family men?

      • Kyn says:

        The Daily Show had a great rant about this. When are people going to quit assuming that Arab or Muslim equals terrorist?

        • froofrou says:

          The same time they stop assuming that Christians are all abortion clinic bombers and Bible-thumpers who want to send you to hell for looking at them wrong.

          • wut says:

            • Matthew Fitzhenry says:

              In a manner of speaking yes. The rights of free speech apply to everyone except white conservative christians. Want evidence? read the all the comments on PK. They are all about why conservatives should be shut up, how silly christianity is, and how only whites are capable of racism(because when another race does it it’s fighting for rights)

              • wut says:

                I’m sorry, I can’t see how comments on PK are taking free speech rights away from “white conservative christians”. Want to try again, or should I call the waaaaahmbulance?

                • DW says:

                  WOW. Who knew this website had the power to destroy the First Amendment? Holy shite! I actually thought this was what that amendment was for! Maybe we can alter the space/time continuum next?

                • DW says:

                  waaaaaaahmbulance, fer shore!

                • Matthew Fitzhenry says:

                  very mature, That was a very respectable reply. Imeant it is an example of how white conservatives are the subject of much discrimination now. Many times, any conservative views are instantly dismissed as featherbrained, by the self proclaimed “open minded ones”

                  • PiMan says:

                    Well by definition, liberals are more open minded. Maybe not always in practice, but certainly that’s what logic dictates.

                    • Phaelin says:

                      These days the name is just there for show, it seems. Kind of like how sports teams aren’t really a bunch of red socks or bulldogs, but rather a group of people with Red Sox and Bulldogs for a title. Politics (at least here in the US) has devolved into much of the same thing. Two different view points with names to match. That’s just about it. The radicals on both ends are just as equally close-minded these days, especially if they want to get nominated for much of anything.

                    • LibTard says:

                      Yes, we are more open minded and will kill anyone who says different ( or disagrees with us)!!!!

                      • Seth says:

                        Last I checked, the Republican fanatics are the only ones on record calling for death of the other candidate. Please stop projecting your own party’s actions onto our party. It is equivalent to “I know you are but what am I.”

              • Seth says:

                Stupid. If I say ‘shut up you ignorant douche!’ that IS free speech. You are free to ignore it. No one is taking away your rights by telling you to shut your pie-hole. You sir are a whiny crybaby.

                • Phaelin says:

                  Actually, he replied a few comments down about what he “really meant”.

                • Matthew Fitzhenry says:

                  Good God does no one have anything intelligent to say? I find it appalling that “whiny crybaby” “ignorant douche” and “waaaaaaaambulance” are the best you people are capable of producing.

                  And my point is proven! Instead of actually considering the viewpoints of a white conservative (and last time I checked, liberals were very “open minded”) you simply insult me and tell me how stupid I am.

                  • Rorsc says:

                    And you are surprised at the Liberals acting this way ?

                    • Matthew Fitzhenry says:

                      No Not really But i did have a shred of hope for some form of intelligence in the left. I really want to believe there are some intelligent ones out there.

                      • Obama says:

                        Hope shines eternal! (Change too)

                      • Jacob Philip Renae says:

                        Although I tend to be very liberal, and although I agree with the democrats’ positions on most issues (with only a couple exceptions), I understand what you are saying. It particularly disturbed me when I once read a story about a college graduate (in Nevada?) who was delivering a speech before her student body, and whose microphone was cut off when she attempted to thank God for helping her through college. I do not personally believe in God; but I think it is an outrage that she was forbidden her right to declare her own beliefs. I have heard of many other similar incidents, such as a convention somewhere in Canada where representatives of Islam and Judaism were allowed to read passages from their scriptures, but not the representative of Christianity, and despite my own status as an unbeliever, I can’t help but be a little disgusted by these stories.

                        As for intelligence, I really hate to say this, but I tend to notice ignorance more on the part of conservatives than on the part of liberals. I do not believe that there aren’t intelligent conservatives in the united states, but I do believe that there are a great deal of ignorant or bigotted people who find it easier to be conservative than to be liberal.

                        I do agree with the republicans on at least a few issues; and sometimes I wonder why the democrats take certain stances. For example, I am a supporter of the right to bear arms; and I can’t understand why the democrats seem to oppose this. I also don’t understand how the practice of abortion is protected by the right to privacy. As for the school voucher program
                        plan, I think that the democrats haven’t given the idea a fair chance; it is not necessarily a breach of the separation of church and state, as far as I can see.

                        Still, some of the stances of the republican party seem to be motivated not by a desire to run a country smoothly and fairly, but by a desire to promote injustice and violations of freedom. For example, I believe that religious organizations have every right to deny the sacrament of marriage to people whose lifestyles are contrary to their tenets, but I feel that it is wrong for the state to refuse, on the basis of sexuality, recognition of civil unions. Also, I was particularly infuriated by Mike Huckabee (and other republicans) who supported the “FairTax” program plan, which would effectively be a tax on the poor. I was relieved when McCain was chosen as their nominee, since he seemed to be the only one who opposed that plan. I am a lover of the progressive tax schema which is currently in place.

                        In short (TLDR):

                        A. I agree that Christians are discriminated against by those who are obsessed with being politically correct, and that there is a general misconception among these people that racism against white people is inoffensive.

                        B. I do feel, however, that the base of the republican party in the united states suffers more from the influences of ignorance and hate than that of the democratic party.

      • actually... says:

        People Are talking about this. I think that pretty much everyone already knows that McCain is a blatant racist. The problem is that most of his supporters either don’t care, or count that as a positive thing, and a good reason to vote for him.

        • DoctorWorm says:

          I don’t think saying that a guy with proven terrorist connections that espouses Marxist policies is a terrorist is too much of a stretch of the imagination. It’s a bit sad that I’m not surprised that America would follow someone with such blatant dislike for America and American history. The only consolation is that if we’re stupid enough to elect a Communist when we have the Soviet Union as a prime example, then we probably deserve whatever fate awaits us. I just hope I’ll be here to help the country rise from the ashes.

          • herb says:

            … which brings me to my next point, kids: Don’t smoke crack.

          • scum-bot says:

            you’re funny, really amusing

          • lowly grunt says:

            McCain has proven terrorist connections? Is that what G. Gordon Liddy is being called these days?

            Man, I need to keep up better…..

            • Robert says:

              I love G. Gordon Liddy!

            • Philip Shade says:

              He’s aconvicted felon who worked to undermine democratic principles.

              And what I picked up from listening to his show is that he’s pretty much a thug who thinks problems can be resolved by kicking people in the nuts.

              Not exactly the kind of guy I’d associate with if I was attempting to take the principled stand.

          • DW says:

            Doctor Worm conveniently leaves out all of McCain’s ties to “terrorists” because it doesn’t suit his needs…I’m pretty sure it’s just the Republican Party who has a dislike for the actual citizens of America right now.

            • DoctorWorm says:

              See, now you’re just making things up. Typical of a Democrat. “HAHA MCCAIN IS JUST ANOTHER BUSH”. Ok, then why are Bush backers supporting Obama? “MCCAIN IS RUNNING A MUDSLINGING CAMPAIGN BECAUSE HE’S A CLUELESS, DODDERING OLD FOOL”. Democrats? More like, Hypo-crats! Zing! “PALIN IS INEXPERIENCED BECAUSE SHE CLEARLY WOULD BE THE REAL PRESIDENT YES INDEED”. Right you are. I’d take a new senator over a new governor any day.

              In all honesty, I was an independent before this election. But this mindless sensationalism and the threats of violence if Obama doesn’t win call to mind scenes of Hitler’s rise to power and the ascension of Lenin in Russia. I majored in history, and everyone else with the slightest inkling of knowledge in that area is backing slowly and nervously into McCain’s corner.

              And DW. Where are McCain’s ties to terrorists? Please point them out to me. I can back up my claims by pointing to Ayers, his America-hating mentor, and his Socialist claims of redistributing the wealth. You’re just making things up.

              But the best part? Your way is winning the election. What a country!

              • herb says:

                I call shenanigans on your historian claims!

                I would call shenanigans on just about everything else posted, but I want to leave some for everybody else.

              • enema says:

                Where are the threats of violence if Obama doesn’t win? Cite your sources, and no RW blogs.

                • DoctorWorm says:

                  You read “Newsweek”, champ? I suggest you pick it up. It’s quite liberal. You’d like it.

                  • herb says:

                    Everything’s liberal if they dare use facts to back up their journalism, eh?

                    • Mirrorman says:

                      Like Dan Rather ?

                      • herb says:

                        Yes, like Dan Rather (a respectable journalist who was run out of town because he dared speak of a rumor against Our Fearless Leader in a time when he should have reporting about the Swift Boat bullshit). You do realize all that business with the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth was a bold-faced lie, but news agencies had to run with it as though it was fact, right? With Rather as their example, it was demonstrated that news agencies could only run rumor pieces that slanted in one direction only.

                        • Rorsc says:

                          You don’t mention that Dan “Libtard” Rather used FALSIFIED documents to try to slander Bush. But that’s okay because he’s a Republican, right?
                          Keep on being a sock puppet for the left !

                        • Seth says:

                          Herb can think for himself and is no one’s sock puppet, unlike nyou, who I highly doubt have had an original idea in your entire life. Polly want a cracker?

                          Does your mother ever let you out of your room ?

                        • herb says:

                          I’m sorry: I was unaware that it had been proven that Dan Rather himself falsified the documents. I was under the impression that he based his news report on evidence that had not been fully investigated — which I admit is sloppy — but that no-one had to fact-check the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth group is quite hypocritical.

                          An intelligent response is welcome but not expected.

                  • enema says:

                    Is this supposed source for violence on Newsweek? Link to it. Put up or STFU.

                    That’s not a cite. Go back to Freshman English. I’m beginning to think you’re not really a doctor.

              • hergieburbur says:

                If you were a history major, why don’t you know the difference between Socialism and Communism? And why don’t you know that this country has been at least partially socialist for 80 years? I second the shenanigans call.

                • Siava says:

                  Thank you! This country has many socialistic programs in place already. Hmm, checks for unemployment and social security come to mind. For McCain to say Obama’s ideas are socialist when he has stated himself he wants our treasury to buy up bad home mortgage loans is hypocritical. They’re both headed towards the same exit, just on different sides of the highway.

                  Look folks, both sides are dirty. We all know that. So why play the blame game? I guess it can be fun, but it gets old.

              • Maxwell Silverhammer says:

                I call BS, on many points.
                1. Anyone who ‘majored in history” doesnt throw around the word communist
                like you do. They realize communism is MUCH more than what you’re making
                it out to be.
                2. You throw insults about like they help your case.
                3. Bush backers are supporting Obama because people can see when they’ve
                made a mistake, and try to rectify them when they do.
                4. The only threats of violence I have been privy to (And this is from personal
                experience, as in, someone in my face said it) have been from conservatives.
                And believe me, Im not happy about it. I dont like the fact that a fellow
                North Carolinian would say stupid ignorant things like they have. But
                Ive heard them all.
                5. Anyone with “the slightest inkling of knowledge” doesnt act as presumptuous, and frankly, just plain stupid and inflammatory as you are.
                6… Where’s my f*cking list?!

                • Jane St.Clair says:

                  If it’s not already on “the list” can we add that a poster can not add a zing on their own jokes? It just looks sad, especially right after the alleged “joke”.

                          The difference here is we are roasting someone who directly
                          responded to debate with an insult and rather juvenile behavior.

                          we didnt bring vulgarity and the immaturity of insults as our
                          main weapon. While I will say in your defense Matt you did start
                          out with a valid point, but unfortunately, you took the “mirroman”
                          man approach and let yoru standards down. Very far down.
                          Dont be like mirrorman. You can be better. You can bring things
                          to this debate table that actually be debated.
                          Mirrorman on the other hand…. well… I dont want to convince
                          him… he can stay on the opposite of my side. I think I speak
                          for everyone when I say we dont want him. You however, seem
                          worth convincing, or at least talking to, while your temper is

                  With all due respect, I have not heard of any serious threats by anyone actually working with the democratic party, and the only election vote squabbling that has been happening in this election is taking place between Franken and Coleman in Minnesota. As for Ayers, he and Obama had only the most cursory of relationships. Your claim that Ayers was Obama’s “mentor” is ridiculous. I might also mention that since his days as a terrorist, Bill Ayers has been working on elementary school education theory, and he was named Chicago’s person of the year in 1997. He’s not some sort of maniac bent on the destruction of the united states. The only thing he opposed was the war in Vietnam.

                  “But the charge of black racism cannot be reconciled with the facts. While it is true that blacks do hate whites, black hatred is not racism.”

                  “To be Christian is to be one of those whom God has chosen. God has chosen black people!”

                  “All white men are responsible for white oppression.”

                  “Whether the American system is beyond redemption we will have to wait and see. But we can be certain that black patience has run out, and unless white America responds positively to the theory and activity of Black Power, then a bloody, protracted civil war is inevitable.”

                  Direct quotes from James Cone’s writings. Obama’s pastor and mentor(obama has called that man his mentor) endorses this theology.

                • Matthew Fitzhenry says:

                  need a few more to be convinced that Obama has been attending a unbelievably racist church for 20 years?

                  “Black theology cannot accept a view of God which does not represent God as being for oppressed blacks and thus against white oppressors. Living in a world of white oppressors, blacks have no time for a neutral God. The brutalities are too great and the pain too severe, and this means we must know where God is and what God is doing in the revolution. There is no use for a God who loves white oppressors the same as oppressed blacks. We have had too much of white love, the love that tells blacks to turn the other cheek and go the second mile. What we need is the divine love as expressed in black power, which is the power of blacks to destroy their oppressors, here and now, by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject God’s love.”

                          being very naive when i say this but i
                          believe that a persons religion should have
                          little if nothing to do with their political
                          policies. What should come first is the
                          well being of the country. If someone
                          wants to believe that the moon is made of
                          cheese and they worship cheese as the
                          supreme power, it’s fine with me so long
                          as they don’t try and pass any laws based
                          on that.

                          So in short, if Obama wants to believe only
                          black people get into heaven, fine, just so
                          long as he doesn’t try passing legislation
                          that infringe on the rights of everyone

                          (Background: He used the BB gun for a velocity lecture, and the superintendant, school board, principal and teachers knew about it. A mother dropping her student off late to school saw him with the gun case walking into school and called the cops. He had been doing this lecture for 20 years. He still has his job.)

                        • You people really need to learn how to read, and learn what certain words mean. Mentor implies that person a great deal of influence. Got it? Had time to soak it in? Ok, just to be clear, it seems as if you all have skipped over that piece of information.

                          When a man is another mans mentor for (As stated by Obama) for 20 years, that persons ideology has spilled over onto him.

                          So Obama has been under the direction of a man who teaches that God is black, and hates white people.

                        Fair enough. McCain is listed as Episcopal, but has attended a Baptist church locally for 17 years. His pastor speaks highly of him but doesn’t endorse anyone (which is very appropriate, in my view). I personally liked the way McCain didn’t make a big issue out of religion in the race, right up to the point where he picked Palin. She’s such a nutjob and a clear pander to that wing of the party, it makes me wonder–where did sane McCain go??

                          Honestly I don’t consider Palin any more of a pander to the far right than Biden is to the rich white guy who traditionally has decided the elections. That probably won’t be the case in this particular election, but that is the only reason to pick a man who has consistantly talked down about his opponent during the primaries and who got less than, what was it, 7% of the vote in his own race? Palin may have her (perceived) problems, but she was not a known quantity before she was nominated. Biden was.

It’s possible it could have been prevented if Bush acted on the intel he had. Even George Tenet says so.

                    Obama has information on the link I provided for exactly what his plans are regarding Civil rights and everything else on his platform. Your sources expect us to take your word for it that these are where you got it, with no links, references, etc.

There are certain things you can say, but he went way off in left field with a lot of his comments and sermons. And he has been completely unappologetic about them, which makes me respect his own set of morals, but doesn’t make me agree with him AT ALL.

                          How is that not saying that whites should be killed?

                          Sheesh. Because there’s no such thing as METAPHOR. Do you really thing there will be actual bloodshed because some preacher said something against the establishment? They would write him off as a wacko and very few would follow him if he actually encouraged violence. Use your logic. Also we come back to the point that Obama isn’t Wright.

                          I have tried to play nice with him froufrou. He won’t listen to me or to you either.

                        • That’s a bit of a stretch. No you are simply reaching for anything to try and reamain having your head buried in the sand and refusing to accept that Obama is under the direction of an incredibly racist man. While it is true that Obama isn’t Wright, He would not call him his mentor for 20 years if he did not agree with him. Use your logic. “Bloody, Protracted Civil War” A metaphor? For what? Offer an explanation please.

                          No, I believe people will follow crazy people. Remember Jim Jones? Dave Couresh?(idk how to spell his name)

                          And of course I won’t listen to you. You have yet to do anything besides tell me I’m wrong with no backing evidence for your point. You chastised me for only having quotes, and no links, but that is still much more than you have provided(except one link to a website, But it wasn’t really even relevant)

                        • minerva146 says:

                          No, I have given reasonable arguments but you don’t see reason. You just buy into these fear tactics. Also, I wasn’t even disputing your source material so I needed no counter-doumentation. I was questioniong you on common sense. And yes, the comparison was still legitimate because it STILL all boils down to the guilt by association argument. McCain doesn’t advocate shooting ATF officers in the head because he’s not the same man as Liddy, and Obama clearly doesn’t share these views like Wright may, because he’s not the same man as Wright. If Obama had these views, he would never even have been electable to STATE senate.

                          Sure there are those that may follow a crazy charismatic leaders, but except with a few exceptions, these have all been small cult-like followings. They can be dangerous in their own right, but generally not on a large scale. It’s not going to be a majority of blacks or any other color of people that go along with it because most see it as loony.

                          If you don’t agree with Obama’s actual policies, fine, don’t vote for him. The guilt by association thing is, however, ridiculous indeed.

                          Of course it would. Black theology teaches that only whites can be racist.

                        Be a little less surly and you might be taken seriously. As per the rest of the discussion, this is still irrelevant to some of us based on the fact that Obama is not Wright. They do not share a brain, or even ideology necessarily. Also, As Paul said, it doesn’t even matter what his religious beliefs are as long as he keeps them out of his politics. Thank you for bringing the source material.

                        • Why should I have to do anything to be taken more seriously? Perhaps I would take you all more seriously if every other reply to me wasn’t something along the lines of “blah blah blah” “EPIC FAIL” and “call the waaaaaaaaaaaaaambulance”
                          It goes both ways, and it is really funny how the left seems to forget that

                          Dont’ poke the bear. Admit you’re outnumbered here (as I have) and present your arguments as well as you can. Then, if someone calls you names or starts acting a fool, you get to take the high ground and laugh at the idiocy contained in their ‘I know you are but what am I?’ posts. It’s all a big balancing act, really. You’re not alone in your ‘right winged-ness’, just don’t make the rest of us look bad :-)

                        • minerva146 says:

                          You only got those type of responses from the beginning because you started being childishly angry. Two people told you you’ll be taken seriously if you lose the attitude, but you go back to your whining anger and surliness. Remember, respect has to be earned. You aren’t entitled unless you show some respect to others first. So far, you’ve shown none. Listen to froufrou if you want to be taken seriously.

                        • Matthew Fitzhenry says:

                          I have shown none, because I recieved none. My first post was about Obama being a racist. I was immediately flamed with all sorts of comments about how ignorant I am.
                          So I simply return the favor.

                        • minerva146 says:

                          No, you came on here very angry and tried to force your views down everybody’s throat. Respect has to be earned. You are not entitled to it when you begin by talking to people thusly. Therefore, froufrou (who AGREES with you) and I asked you nicely to tone the anger down and we would all discuss with you like adults. You refused and then continue to DEMAND respect. It doesn’t work that way. I have tried to talk to you respectfully, but you didn’t even take that in kind. You are losing any credibility you may have had by continuing this whining about respect. You sound like my teenage stepdaughter. She doesn’t get that respect has to be earned either.

                          I’m done here because I am no longer enjoying banging my head on a brick wall. When you come back, you will be treated by everybody according to HOW you come back.

                        • Matthew Fitzhenry says:

                          I did not start angrily. I stated that If McCain could be called racist for his affiliations, then so could Obama for his affiliations with Black Liberation Theology. I was met with “Blah blah blah” “STFU” and other garbage. I responded accordingly

                  • froofrou says:

                    Because none of them are 20 year mentors.

                    • minerva146 says:

                      yet McCain sought the endorsements of these “gentlemen”, until it was no longer politically viable to do so. Whereas Barack Obama was content to leave the church out of the mix entirely. Where it belongs.

                      Aside from that, I don’t think Obama has a strong racial agenda. He’s even said that affirmative action should probably be based more on economic status than race. He Left race blank on his Harvard Law application to be considered on merit alone.

                      • froofrou says:

                        Obama did basically the same thing with Wright. He saw the bus coming and pushed Wright in front of it after calling him his mentor and the mentor of his children. When it became clear that Wright could be a liability, Obama’s response was that Wright wasn’t the man he knew before.

                        • minerva146 says:

                          He did. I do think though that any religious affiliation was not particularly important to his campaign though, while McCain specifically was courting the religious right. Until they showed just how wacky they are, so he abandoned theses guys. Some of those stuck with him because of Palin though, even if he lost some due to dumping Hagee, etc.

                        • herb says:

                          I can understand why Obama had to dump Wright, but it doesn’t really sit well with me. I love my old man to death — he’s like a father to me — but I don’t agree with 80% of what he has to say. He’s been known to spout off things I rather he not say in polite society, and I’ve known him for over 20 years. Does this mean my father speaks for me politically?

                        • froofrou says:

                          The problem that most of us on the right have with the Right Rev Wright is that anyone who calls a pastor of that caliber a ‘mentor’ will, by definition, be taking his advice on all things private and public. If he is as big a part of Obama’s life as was intimated at the beginning of the campaign (before the bus came along), then Rev. Wright will most likely be in the White House giving advice and counsel on all things foreign and domestic. I dont’ want a hate monger like that in the White House any more than I’d want McCain to be counseled by a Fascist Neo-Nazi with a God complex.

                        • minerva146 says:

                          No, I am just saying I know why he did it. (see liberals will admit when their candidate makes mistakes — IT’S OK!!!11!!1) I think it could have been handled better, like maybe pointing out that although wright has made some inflammatory speeches, but that it doesn’t necessarily mean that’s the constant. –and/or take the JFK route like when everybody was worried about the catholic thing. Just say that it’s not part of my politics because I love America!

                        • minerva146 says:

                          I’ve had professional mentors I wouldn’t take personal advice from. Spirituality isn’t (or shouldn’t be) business. “advice on all things” it a bit of a broad assumption. The separation of church and state would keep wright out of the white house. Not even bush had a preacher anywhere near it, and he’s the religious nut. You’re stretching.

                        • froofrou says:

                          Said it before, will say it again……..if the Rev Wright says those things from the pulpit, he doesn’t hold separation of church and state in any high esteem. The glorious tones Obama had for Wright at the beginning show how much his advice means to him.

                        • minerva146 says:

                          “he doesn’t hold separation of church and state in any high esteem.” So Falwell et al. had any respect for that guideline?

                          Aside from that, I’m not defending, just speculating (because I’m willing to admit I don’t have my own research yet. Trolls take note) that Wright was just getting old and bitter after all these years? Maybe he wasn’t the same man that married the Obama’s. Even if he was, it’s very possible to agree to disagree with people you’ve known forever. My parents are conservative, and i’d take their advice on many things, but not politics. I think Obama is a free thinker enough to hold his own independent values, regardless of what people he knows think. You could bring the Liddy McCain thing and use the same argument. Does McCain advocate shooting ATF officers in the head because his friend does? Probably not. It’s the same argument. Guilt by association just is not a good argument. You don’t get to head the Harvard Law Review by being a sheep.

                        • Christine says:

                          Honestly, knowing the church in Chicago where the Rev. Wright preaches, I don’t think that they would be willing to spare him to Washington. It takes a lot of work to find another preacher, no matter the denomination. And with a congregation that reaches the sizes there, I don’t think that the Rev. would feel the calling to go counsel one man over the many at that church.

                        • D'oh says:

                          Simply put, the fact that Obama called Wright his mentor, and we do not know on what area’s exactly, doesn’t mean that he endorses or even likes Wrights “black theology”. It’s again, like the Ayers connection, a guilt by association argument. And we all know that those arguments aren’t good.

                          Pastor’s can generally be considered personal mentors. I do not believe that a man who calls a outward minister of hate his mentor to be running our country.

            (Not to muddy the waters, but there is footage of Palin receiving a blessing by a pastor while he mentions the economic hardship America is facing is because the Jews control the money and not the Christians.)

            As to the comment of racism, while I do think that term is overused, the woman suggested that Obama was a Muslim. McCain responded with, “No, he’s a decent family man.” He didn’t say, “No, Sen. Obama is a Christian, but there is nothing the matter with those of the Islam faith.” Through omission of words like that, he allows the ignorant thought that Muslim=Terrorist. He has (to the best of my knowledge) never tried to break this image either, nor has the GOP as a whole.

                          calling you out. Get the hell out. No one wants you, and so far
                          you’re making everyone think that being Pro-choice… is suddenly
                          a perfectly justifiable stand point.

                        • Mirrorman says:

                          Such pure hate from the “Progressives ” here- you are full of hypocrisy and hatred and cannot tolerate an opposing viewpoint- therefore the absolute lack of any serious Obama LOL’s here and the smackdown of any dissenting viewpoint. It is the Democrat Thugocracy that needs to leave here and let everyone else debate evenly and without ridiculous insults and accusations.
                          Go taunt some preschool children with your childish insults, punk.

                          Mirrorman sees hate because of his mirror.

                        • I would say In bed but the thought of an idiot with a mirror over his bed just bothers me. Then I clear the mental image by imaging that mirror shattering over his bed and pulling a Darwin for us.

                        • minerva146 says:

                          Wow, that would be quite a mess to clean up.

                        • I will call CSI. They will need to investigate.

                        • Jane St.Clair says:

                          *gives hugs to Max, Froofrou, minerva, and DWM* You guys rock. :D

                        • Not as hard as you do, madam. ;)

                        • Maxwell Silverhammer says:

                          Im perplexed at being called purely hate filled from the guy who
                          has YET to post a comment that doesnt include an insult,
                          inflammatory comment, or just plain nonsense.

                        • DeathWyrmNexus says:

                          In bed with a 2×4 with a nail in it. Anger issues I sense.

                  • Jane St.Clair says:

                    And don’t you forget it! Side effects may include the uncontrollable need to try and inject logic into moronic statements, which often creates frustration when logic is ignored in favor of repeating mindless talking points.

                    • DeathWyrmNexus says:

                    • Rorsc says:

                      Logic? More like liberal insults and belittling.

                      • Seth says:

                        OH Rorsc, you are adorably predictable. When I first came on this board, Jane called me, a leftist, out for being too strident. When was the last time you saw a righty calling another righty out like that? She really is one of the major voices of reason here. Find me ONE single case of Jane insulting anyone. Go on, put up or shut up.

    • DaftPyramid says:

      What? This woman called Obama an ‘Arab,’ using that to explain why she is afraid of an Obama presidency. How exactly is that not racism?

      • wut says:

        It is racism, just like McCain’s implication that Arabs are not decent family men. Blatant and subtle racism and bigotry has shifted in America from black people to people of middle eastern decent.

        • froofrou says:

          But when two black men beat a white man to death its still not a hate crime.

          • Maxwell Silverhammer says:

            In my eyes, any murder is a hate crime. Every murder is spawned by hate of something. Race is a non issue.

            • froofrou says:

              You are correct. So at what point are we allowed to drop the ‘hate crime’ label? It’s getting way overused, and for the wrong things.

              • Maxwell Silverhammer says:

                Well yes, Im one of those crazy people that believe racism,sexism, classism
                will be a non issue when its no longer recognized. But hell… I dont really
                see that happening cause everyone wants a reason for whats happened to
                them besides “My choices sucked” or “I suck.”

                • froofrou says:

                  So why are we on opposite sides of the aisle again? :-)

                  • Maxwell Silverhammer says:

                    Uh because Im pro-choice, pro tax-and-spend, and pro universal health care? :-) Other than the issues you mean?

                    • Maxwell Silverhammer says:

                      And in reality to be fair, I am an independent. I was never on the
                      other side of the isle, just sitting IN the isle… so no one can get out
                      when the building sets on fire.

                    • froofrou says:

                      Dammit! I was so close! :-) “Pro-life”, “Pro-getting the government out of everything including spending money that I have made through hard work and don’t want to give to anyone else”, and “Pro-making healthcare affordable for everyone and telling insurance companies to compete or die” over here :-)

                      • Maxwell Silverhammer says:

                        Id go with the competitive healthcare, but I also believe that there
                        should be an option.. even if it is a crap one… when you cant afford
                        said competitive prices.
                        You see… my beliefs are far too complicated for me to call myself
                        a liberal or conservative… I believe our military needs to be strong enough
                        for us to be able to say “Remember Pearl Harbor? Remember Hiroshima?
                        Yeah.. dont f*ck with us.” I believe a man should be able to own a
                        weapon to hunt with and defend himself with, and on that same note
                        if you’re illegaly on someone else’s property with questionable intent…
                        Better check yo’self be you wr-wr-wreck yo’self.
                        While on the other side of the token I believe welfare is GREAT when its not
                        abused. I believe every girl under the age of 18 needs a blinking
                        red light on their head until their 18th birthday. “You are charged with
                        statutory rape, how do you plead?”
                        ‘Not Guilty!’
                        “Did you see the blinking red light?”
                        ‘Well.. yes..’
                        “Guilty! Take him away.”
                        Im just… odd. Heaven help this country if I run for president.
                        I hang out with Felons, christians, muslims, jews, arsonists, junkies,
                        drug dealers, college professors, musicians, and worst of all I know
                        a network of lawyers. It would be a… fun election year.

                        • froofrou says:

                          *sigh* I’m going to have to change from Repub to Indy. You just basically described my entire belief system, except for hard core Pro-Life.

                        • minerva146 says:

                          haha. Most people are fairly moderate, whether they realize it or not. Yu might find yourself strongly on one side of the aisle, but quite on another about something else. It’s getting them to admit it that is the trouble. What we need is to get congress to actually discuss things like they used to. Actually DEBATE every issue, and find the most workable solution. Obviously ther would still be debate on best approach, but some things we can all agree are right or wrong for the country. I was looking for the quote, but I can’t remember who said it. Some old senator like Reid or Warner said not that long ago something like “”We don’t debate anymore, everyone just shows up and votes.”

                        • herb says:

                          Once again, I suggest my plan: a five-party system with Instant Runoff Voting. Statistically, we would end up with a rather centrist government, but most people would be somewhat complacent as one of their candidates made the roster.

                        • minerva146 says:

                          Few countries have a strict two-party system like ours. It wasn’t even set up that way, but evolved somehow out of multiple parties earlier in the game. I say blame the Whigs.

                        • herb says:

                          Funny. I blame the Democrat-Republicans.

                        • wut says:

                          I blame the masses who can’t wrap their brain around the concept of more than two parties.

                        • minerva146 says:

                          True, the masses have been trained like pavlov’s dog on the two party system. Maybe everyone gets shipped off to Britain or someplace for a couple years before they come back and are allowed to vote. Hopefully not against their best interests like they are doing now.

                        • Robert says:

                          Yeah, I tend to run Libertarian myself. The problem w/government controlled things (DMV, IRS, USPS, Social Security, Medicaid) is that they inevitably degenerate into limping, pathetic excuses for what they started as. And I actually one time designed an armband for underage girls to wear to protect men from predators, like that 13-year-old in Florida who’s now put two guys in prison for stat rape.

                        • I find myself agreeing pretty hard with Max there. Almost to a tee. I can’t really see where I differ actually. Strange… I’m not unique. T_T

                          Okay, emo whining over.

                        • minerva146 says:

                          You should know by now that the stress of being a teen is all about developping your own identity while trying to be exactly the same as everybody else in order to “fit in”. ;)

                        • So glad I was just the mellow goth. Made things simple. And yes, I avoided the goth crowd since I didn’t want to pierce or tattoo anything or whine too much.

              • wut says:

                Tell that to the republican who thinks he had his car vandalized because it had a Nobama sticker. He called it a hate crime. Funny how repubs dislike the concept of hate crimes but whine about it when they think it happened to them.

          • Musicmom870 says:

            Are you talking about a specific case, or in general? Because when I clicked your name I read stuff about the separation of church and state, not hate crimes.

        I didn’t know that she had sad that and I took this as a general attack on rep.s, but I still think people who don’t vote fore him(Obama) will still be labeled racist.

      I should say Obama @#$%’s chickens and see how many reply’s I git…

    85th and WTF!!!!!! lol

    How to make a Liberal go into a rabid fit- take what they say and turn it around– they can’t stand their own hypocrisy !!!!

  15. Robert says:

    Y’all realize Obama is an Arab, right? Father was like 98% Arab. Of course, that really has nothing to do with anything at all, but if you’re gonna post a lol, at least make it resemble accuracy. Just a thought.

    • Christine says:

      Last time I checked, Kenya is not part of the Arabian peninsula. And you can’t be 98% anything.

    • whiteboar says:

      Barack Obama’s father, Barack Obama, Sr. was a Luo from Kenya. The Luo tribe are scattered all over East Africa and are most definitely AFRICAN. They are not of Arabic background and are not immigrants to Africa. They’ve been there since God was in short pants.

      • The fact's says:

        Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother’s side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African from his father’s side. While Barack Hussein Obama’s father was from Kenya, his father’s family was mainly Arabs.. Barack Hussein Obama’s father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab
        his father’s birth certificate even states he’s Arab, not African

    I made a somewhat related pic. I doubt it’ll ever make the main page, but why should that stop me? :-)

    It’s under the account name “Illustrious” because ICHC network doesn’t like two-character user names.

    • minerva146 says:

      As a parody of all the silly things uninformed people believe about the Obama ticket? I can list them by line items and debunk the items if you want.

      • minerva146 says:

        Not trying to pick on you personally, but this really is silly.

        • While some of them are plain silly some of them hold truth. I laughed at the gasoline bit and the future hitlers bit. But the “I’m Voting Republican” Video has even more silliness in it(just go to the link for I’m Voting Dem, it’s in the related videos)
          According to that video, “seperate but equal” is still in cases that the conservative supreme court is upholding.

  21. One more. My name now contains a different link
