@Hatchet

Have you read your own post (especially the last one). NEVER has Hillary Clinton brought race into this election; in fact, Obama has been and continues to play the race card. In fact, as the owner of BET said himself, this whole thing is because Barack is black.

Those of us who choose not to support a novice who comes to the table with no plan, questionable ties, no voting record, and a racist background are NOT racist, but good judges of character and pragmatic Democrats. Obama had a chance in hell of winning, and now--thanks to his relationship with Rev. Wright and Trinity Church--that chance is over. Hillary is a stronger, better candidate and if you were not so sexist you would admit this. Also, I want to point out that the media does not want her elected, and since I don't trust the media (remember, the backed BUSH both times) this makes me even more sure of my choice.

Finally, remember that Obama has made his own bed. Had he not sat in that pew for 20 years, his ass would not be burning now. I think that it says something like this in the Bible, he who lives by the sword dies by the sword. Well, Obama just cut his own throat and has NO ONE TO BLAME BUT HIMSELF.

YOU ARE SO FREAKIN STUPID

No, I am not a plant, a Republican, or a subversive, but I am going to vote for McCain if Hillary is not the Democratic choice. I do not trust Obama, and as far as I am concerned it will be the Obamatons fault.

Also, to the poster who claims that most Obamatons are kind. ARE YOU FREAKIN BLIND? These people are misogynistic assholes for the most part who are so blind to the issues that when we say something they rip us to shreds before they even comprehend what we are trying to say. I actually think that the very fact that this type of person supports Obama makes me like him even less.

I may be a rabble rouser, but you people are done gone over in the head for this man. Nice wasn't working, so maybe shaking you up a bit might. I am 35 years old, and I have found that nice does not work with sexist or racists.

Do not delude yourself into thinking that we are NOT Democrats. WE ARE, and the real question is what are you?????

Address the issue Hatchet

Calling me a racist is old news, yesterday, yawn yawn. We all know who the racist is--Rev. Wright AND his supporters.

What do the KKK and Rev. Wright have in common--they both hate and excite hatred in their followers along racial lines. They both get money for doing so, and they both use GOD in their speeches.

I only detest stupid and mean people, which means that I am an equal opportunity hater.....not a racist, just anti-dumb and anti-mean.

Hatchet your lies are tiresome

First of all, to compare me to the drug addict Rush Limbaugh is ridickulous. He attacked the Clintons because as a Republican who might be a racist he did not like the GOOD they did for this country. He most certainly is a sexist and thus HATES that Hillary Clinton does such a dang good job as a leader and elected official.

Second, that was ONE COMMENT SHE MADE. ONE COMMENT. Obama is the living embodiment of "the race card." He is just playing a game, and the issues that people are fighting and dying over are getting pushed aside.

Third, I don't give a FUCK what Hillary Clinton's preacher said. The ONLY reason Rev. Wright is in the news is because he is RACIST and LIAR and has said some horrible untruths and Mr. Obama, up until a few days ago, considered this man THE MOST IMPORTANT man in his life and his MENTOR (i.e. teacher). THIS IS WHY A SUPPOSED RELIGIOUS MAN IS IMPORTANT in this political race.

Fourth, Maya Angelou is supporting Hillary, and she is the kindest, smartest, most beautiful person I know. She happens to be black, and I would not even considering questioning her choice. The only question is why are you?

Final point to add

Men may be running to support Obama, but remember this: Elected officials dole out lots of 'favors' and appoint lots of 'official positions." Hillary Clinton is not playing the game the way Obama is, and God Bless her for that.

The polls are saying it all, even though I am not a big supporter of polls. Obama is a big pile of poop, and you can either join him in the poop, or get a life. I would do the latter if I were you....too stinky where he is sitting.

AJ, let me know when the 'chicks' come home to roost. Hopefully she will drop a big one right on your head.....and you know what the say, dicks who use the word chicks have little to crow about....

Original article: The company he keeps

Can we get a little dumber please...

Because I want to sink so low that Bush looks smart. Oh, wait, you've reached that zenith. Bush now looks smart. Thanks a lot Salon and Obama and Rev. Wright. Thanks for making the President look good. I actually didn't think it could be done, but gosh darn it you've proved me wrong. You are really really dumb, much dumber than George. Way to go boys. Way to go.

Oh, and the answer is yes. We should judge Obama by the company he keeps because it speaks to who he is and what he is. I just wanted to state that for the record in case you didn't get my sarcasm.

Oh, and thanks a lot for making Republicans look smart. This is just what I need to keep me from thinking the end is near. Thanks a whole hell of a lot (sarcasm again).
