Could you please list Obama's sleazy sins?

What exactly has he done that was as sleazy as the Clinton?

Clinton camp:

Ferrarro - Obama only in this because he is black.

Bill - this is just a Jesse Jackson campaign.

Hill - to my knowledge he isn't a muslim.

Hill - I have 35 years of experience ducking sniper fire, but that Obama has no public policy experience after teaching law school for 10 years.

Bill - when Hillary and McCain are running, we will have two nominees who love this country, so the country won't be distracted by other [BLACK] issues.

Bill - McCain a praiseworthy moderate, almost on our side even, you should vote for him.

Carville - Richardson is a Judas for siding with Oabama, especially after Bill spent Superbowl Sunday at Richardson's house.

Hill - circulates right wing attack points that are entirely fact free.

Hill - 3AM ad.

Hill - NAFTA flap that her surrogates were responsible for.

Obama:

Powers - says that Clinton is a monster (opinion shared by 63% of the country judging by Clinton's 37% favorable rating).

Wright - America's chickens came home to roost on 9/11 (quoting ambassador ed peck, a well respected white man, and yes, Bin Laden was one of our chickens in the 80's Afghanistan Mujaheddin war against Russia, he was Tim Osman back then and we sold him MANPADS Man Portable Anti Aircraft Defense weapons).

So, how has Obama taken petty shots and turned this campaign into a gutter campaign?

Specifically, please fill out my list for me Joe Conason. Otherwise you are merely falsely equivocating like the rest of the media. Drawing equivalence in a fight is a way to look non partisan, but because you turn your head from the facts you show your true partisanship.

One more thing.

Clinton:

No you can't see my financial records or my tax returns.

But that Rezko guy is bad.

Obama:

Here are my tax returns, they are on the internet.

Chicago Tribune asked me about Rezko, and I told them everything.

Thanks dataguyx

Damn straight there isn't equality of fault here. It is hard to imagine a factual scenario where both sides possible be equally at fault. Some things are worse than others. False equivalence is a disgusting trait in the media. Being objective means counting up the facts, putting them in the proper column, and coming to a reasoned judgment. Being biased means ignoring the facts, and declaring equality when it isn't there. But whatevs, false equivalence is the only way to prove you aren't a partisan.

As much as this tidbit smacks of stupid ....

This is exactly what we should have been doing day 1. We fired all the government employees and created a massive unemployed force of ex soldiers and ex workers. If we had kept all of Saddam's state industries running, the insurgency wouldn't have anyone in it besides hard core anti occupationists. By firing all those government workers, we gave safe houses to the insurgency.

When are the cynical talking heads right?

Seriously. Have they ever been right? I think it is now safe to assume that Obama's race speech will go down in history as one of the greatest speeches of all time. The more the talking heads poo-pah it, the more the people will love it.

Original article: This Modern World

I like how the Clinton backers, didn't challenge anything TT said

That is how you can tell a loser in an argument. When the loser never addresses what the winner said. Everything TT said has gone unopposed. I assume that the clinton backers agree by their silence.

As Wonkette put it ...

The Rocky analogy is the worst analogy she could have possibly chosen.

Rocky doesn't quit, but Rocky loses in a split decision to a black man. The black man is later killed. I mean seriously. Did she even think that analogy out?

Original article: Quote of the day

Votes are forever.

Votes are forever, ask Hillary about her Iraq vote. And voting against a holiday? That is a pretty damned easy vote. Everyone loves a day off, except rich industrialist brewery mongers. Voting against MLK day was dog whistle for, I hate black people and will stand with my white brothers against any negro encroachment on our dominance. Everyone knows this. McCain panders again.

This is because of Obama

If Obama hadn't played the race card first by waking up black, poor under-appreciated, white, Mark Penn would still have a slot at the elite Hillary university. But once again the affirmative action candidate strikes again with his angry America hating blackness and strikes out our race hero, Mark Penn. Haven't you guys seen the Pastor Wright videos? Clearly Hillary is the experienced choice, with the foreign policy credentials to produce a good, honest, down to earth, working class, at least 5 strikes in a game "Plan Columbia" that will actually bring down Cocaine production without leaving our helpless and over taxed American corporations to fend for themselves in that wild land.

Original article: The Iran boogeyman is back

Good to hear what I was thinking.

Always good to hear sober, rational analysis of the Iraq situation. Cole said everything I was thinking. We have to make sure every militia-having local tyrant gets a vote on some provincial governing body. Once the thugs have an alternative to violence, there can be peace. That might actually be "victory."

So if it is all crony capitalism before they are elected ...

What do we think they will do when they are elected?

I support this article, and Obama, and am male

I am a male Kucinich -> Edwards -> Dodd -> Obama supporter who will vote Democrat in fall no matter what. But, there is great truth to this article. I have to question myself regularly to make sure I have some serious grounds to objecting to Hillary. Thankfully she makes it easy. Snipergate, Ferrarogate, Penngate, Billgate, and now Bittergate. My question is this:

Do Hillary haters get laid? I don't think they spend much time in vaginas if they fear female power.

If Bush dares leave this country ...

This admission will lead to his arrest. He knowingly ordered surrogates to abrogate anti torture laws with the purpose to have those laws violated. He admitted it. I mean, all this conspiracy mongering, all this endless investigation on the left, and the jerk just drops it like it's nothing.
