Obama is imploding

Every time he speaks now, he looks petulant and, yes, bitter. Gone is his shiny hope message. It's all about rage now. He knows how badly his SanFran comments have damaged him but he doesn't know what to do to recover. So he's lashing out. It's sad. And he looks ridiculous on that tractor, too. He is done. Bye bye, Obama.

Mishkin, you need to read up on your Freudian theory

You don't seem to understand key concepts. You might want to avoid the section on anal-erotic necrophilia, though, because it might cut too close to home.

Obama is done.

Most of the Obamatrons posting clearly haven't even read the article

They just want positive Obama propaganda or nothing on this and every site.

Gee, Mishkin, you can actually quote Freud and still not understand him.

That is a rare gift. But par for the course for an Obamabot. Still, I'm very glad I forced you to make an effort at research. Maybe someday you'll get it. Sad little creature.

These Obamabots sure are touchy little totalitarians

The smallest criticism sends them flying into a towering rage. Then they denounce and even threaten the author and the website who would dare to publish such calumnies. They don't even bother to read the offending article--they rage away based on the headline, or they do a google search on the author and denounce him, or they mutter darkly about imminent boycotts or future reprisals if one doesn't get on the bandwagon right away. They want total subservience, devotion, and unquestioning propaganda praising their glorious candidate. It reeks of Bushism, frankly.

Obama ought to p[ay Rufus, or maybe Clinton should

He is the stupidest clown online today!

Wednesday, April 16, 2008 09:50 AM

Gee, explain how it is that such an untrustworthy candidate

will probably beat the shining demigod Obama in PA, IND, and KY, perhaps by double digits? Shouldn't he have put her away by now? What exactly is WRONG with his candidacy, hm?

Wednesday, April 16, 2008 09:51 AM

Stewsburntmonkey, polls are NOT the "real world"

Didn't New Hampshire or Super Tuesday teach you anything? In the real world, your candidate can't seem to get over the hump with core Dem constituencies. It's sad, but that's the real world.

More like "sewer of consciousness rant" in your case

If Obama wins....

A preview of the Fall campaign:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/16/us/politics/16obama.html?ei=5065&en=20b42c88b48878ce&ex=1209009600&partner=MYWAY&pagewanted=print

Indeed, advisers to Mr. Obama concede, his job has been made that much more complicated by his remarks about bitterness among small-town voters. Though it remains unclear what effect the episode will have in the long run, it has suddenly prompted a series of questions — and worry — from Democrats about whether Mr. Obama could weather a Republican onslaught in the fall, should he win the presidential nomination.

In Pennsylvania, as well as coming primaries in Indiana and North Carolina, did Mr. Obama provide another excuse for white voters to voice qualms about his candidacy without acknowledging that it is his race that troubles them? If he defeats Mrs. Clinton, will accusations of elitism dog him as they have previous Democratic nominees? Does Senator John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, suddenly have an issue that will resonate for the next six months?

It is the criticism from Republicans, though, that worries many Democrats. A senior adviser to Mr. McCain, Steve Schmidt, told reporters on Tuesday that Mr. Obama’s comments were “condescending and elitist” and that they would keep up the criticism “for the duration of Senator Obama’s candidacy.”

Really, Tukla in Iowa, and what "issues" are those?

Isn't one of his issues precisely that he thinks white working class voters are retarded? That seems to be one of his major issues.

Thursday, April 17, 2008 05:13 AM

What debate were you watching

Obama laid a giant grade-A egg last night. He was horrible. The ABC idiots were gunning for him, just like the NBC idiots have always been gunning for Clinton. But he should have been prepared for it. He seemed indecisive, peevish, and weak.

@Kemberlee

"Prolonging the agony is reflected poorly on her own image as an accomplished leader."

I'm afraid that sentence doesn't make any sense, grammatically or otherwise.

@AlecsMom

Gee, you seem to be really mad. Xanax might help.

Thursday, April 17, 2008 05:32 AM

If it damaged Obama, it was worth it

We can forgive the inanity and tabloid-style tone if it managed finally to derail this empty suit's path to the Democratic nomination.

Thursday, April 17, 2008 05:42 PM

Boo Freaking Hoo

What a sorry little crybaby.

Thursday, April 17, 2008 06:03 PM

Boo Hoo! ABC is being MEAN to me! Boo Hoo!

The rightwing noise machine will tear Obambi apart.

@Hhatchet

But it is not my "logic," Hhatchet. She KILLED MY FUCKING CAT! She ATE IT! She is EVIL!

Friday, April 18, 2008 08:41 AM

Rufus, she is WORSE than a Republican

She is a vile, vile CAT-EATER!

Friday, April 18, 2008 08:43 AM

And my point is

She eats cats. Poor defenseless cats. And she does it cynically, and with a kind of smug glee.

Friday, April 18, 2008 08:45 AM

Obama is evil too, he kiled my dog

But I never liked the damn thing. And he didn't cackle while he did it, like Hillary did. He just sort of seemed resigned.

Friday, April 18, 2008 08:51 AM

Nancianne doesn't know the HALF of it

The worst was the little cackle she gave as she cracked my cat's spine. It woke me from a sound sleep. I could just make out Hillary's outlined hunched in the corner. My cat was mewing piteously--until she chomped off its head in ONE BITE!

Friday, April 18, 2008 08:57 AM

My cat was not the only feline victim of Hillary, apparently

She ate Kathleen Willey's cat too!

http://www.hillaryproject.com/index.php?/en/story-details/did_clinton_operative_try_to_silence_kathleen_willey/

I see a pattern of pure, unadulterated, cat-eating evil!

Friday, April 18, 2008 09:38 AM

Oh, Rufus, it is not about fascism

It's about the unchecked, cynical, and corrupt consumption of cats.

Friday, April 18, 2008 09:47 AM

Jameslow, do not be fooled, do not let her lull you into a false sense of security

Because she will eat your fucking cat, I'm telling you.

Friday, April 18, 2008 09:52 AM

But, Christopher1988, they demonize Hillary relentlessly at Dailoykos

while tossing out those who speak ill of Obama. But then, they know, as no one else does, the full evil of her feline-chomping ways.

Friday, April 18, 2008 09:55 AM

Stop mentioning kittens, Manos

You are making the vile hag Hillary hungry.

Friday, April 18, 2008 01:53 PM

Mr. Spud, You speak God's truth

But the crazed Obamabots will never listen.

Friday, April 18, 2008 09:26 PM

Joan is very brave

to face down these savage Obamabots shrieking for her blood.

Friday, April 18, 2008 09:27 PM

Do not listen to these whining toads

They couldn't produce an e-mag if their miserable little rat-fucking lives depended on it. They are whiners and scum, one and all.

Friday, April 18, 2008 09:29 PM

Obama fell on his face, he was destroyed

and it was a glory to witness!

Friday, April 18, 2008 09:32 PM

Obambi Delenda Est

The Phill debate was a very good start!

Saturday, April 19, 2008 11:13 AM

His debate performance HAS hurt him

His Gallup lead is all gone.

http://www.gallup.com/poll/106606/Gallup-Daily-Clinton-46-Obama-45.aspx

Bye bye Obambi!

Saturday, April 19, 2008 11:26 AM

Yes, Green Goblin, only polls that injure Obama are correct

All others are false. I am the mirror image of the Obamabots on this site.

Saturday, April 19, 2008 11:28 AM

Ah Tom Payne, done with your chronic masturbating for the day?

Your candidate is as dead as your limp dickie.

Monday, April 21, 2008 08:44 AM

It's do or die tomorrow for Obama

If he's the front-runner, spends 40+million, and can't win Pennsylvania, there is something WRONG with his candidacy. If he loses Indiana and Kentucky too, superdels will be wondering what the problem is. He spent $30 million in march and lost Ohio and Texas. It's sad--he just isn't quite good enough.
