Dear Herr Kimbah,
I vill do a vat do you call it, analysis of you, poor man.You are suffering from what I like to call "barely suppresed white American male rage." Very sad, very sad. I see many cases--ach ach. It mainfests itself in sputtering and infantile lashing out, especially against successful intelligent men of other races. Yes yes I know, Herr Kimbah, I know these thoughts trouble you--how dare that man with dark skin be well spoken, successful, talented, smart, ven, well, you know...you are not. Now now, mein herr, drink some varm milk and go to bed. Try not to think these self destructive thoughts. It will all be over soon--the party that you transfer your feelings of impotence to is slowly crumbling before your eyes, but in loss, is good, soon, soon you vill see the bright light of REALITY!!!
That was John McCain tonight. Forceful? Yeah, if he is yelling at you "to get a job you bum." (a la Big Lebowski)--Obama was calm, what people are looking for in tehse times, especially after 8 years of stubborn Dumbya and the Dark Lord who tool us into a war and **&^%$ up the economy.
...no pity for Sarah Palin. She didn't "blink" when ask to be VP--didn't blink, huh? The sign of a vain, cocky, unself-reflective person wildly deluded about her capabilities. I know some pretty brilliant people, and they would hesistate before taking on such position. Do we need another (probable) President is is not curious about the world, overestimates her abilities, and doesn't, not ever, blink? She doesn't have the imagination to put herself in the shoes of a woman raped and made pregnant, to wonder about the sheer terror a wolf must fel at being chased down from the sky, to think about the consequences of war. To her it is all about waving the gun, the flag and the bible.
As if Palin's chruch ties aren't scary enough, Sean Hannity had a foul snti-semite, Andy Martin, on his show to defame Obama. Reported by Todd Gitlin.
Just look at the shots of McCain with no sound--you see a guy who CANNOT contain his anger. This is in a debate on which a lot is riding--you know his handlers must have talked to him about this. But he can't do it. Now, do you really want this man in charge of a nuclear arsenal? With Armageddon Sarah in the wings?
Only the most partisan person could have failed to see the angry, sometimes befuddled, scornful condescending man here tonight. Talk about feeling entitled. He just doesn't get why "that one" his beating HIS a**.
The MSM wants a close race b/c it gives their existence meaning. But it seems people really are thinling for themselves.
(more of McCain's internal monologue)
Damn women, it always something, like Cindy,and then they start with the pills, and then it's like "oh, I'm in pain," yeah, like, not like the pain of looking at them after they lose their looks--now that hurts. Palin'sonna lose her looks pretty soon--they hit fortysomething and it's all down hill...but damn, her a*& is
still pretty good, and she didn't go having abortions to keep her figure, like that would really help some of these cows
anyway.....
Ashley Todd may indeed be disturbed, but she was engaging in race-baiting of the most horrific kind, using a play right out of the Karl Rove (hero of college republicans, of which she is one) book. This kind of vile accusation could lead to real violence. Sorry, but spare me the sympathy for her. She may need help, yes, but then so do the thousands (god, I hope they aren't millions) of the hateful people we have seen yelling at McCain Palin rallies, screaming at African American voters in NC, etc. The tale of two faces is a tale of two sides of the same coin, and that made up face of Palin has been egging on the Ashely Todds of the world.
So where was that baby-lovin' fella Bill O'Reilly and his minions when Iraqi babies were getting bombed, or babies in New Orleans were drowning or endangered? Hmmm...let me guess, probably nursing rage about how white men just don't get no respect. Take it from someone who grew up among these creeps--they are a bunch of heartless bastards who are only interested in making women pay for having sex (the whores). Where are they rushing in with prenatal care for impoverished women? Aid for woman in Haiti whose are left with 10 children and no income??
I will never forget when I was still a benighted Catholic at a session where people were writing prayer intentions for a "prolife" Mass. Someone suggested that a prayer be added "for help for pregnant women who are in need." "oh," said a very white, very conservative, very wealthy woman snidely, "They *always* have to put that in."
That thing about typing from the basement is pretty old hate--you should get some new lines. I would guess you are delusional and like to wear fatigues and pretend you were in the military--is this what tough guys sound like in the cheap Tom Clancy knock offs you read? . My brother was an officer in the Navy, and believe me, your attitude is completely anathema to what a real military person's is who has actually seen warfare. But perhaps I'm wrong' maybe you put down guns and ammo and went and shot up some poor squirrels in your backyard.
uh, yeah, I know all about those groups..they want to bring the women to Jesus and redeem them from their sin. Dealing with kid...not so much. Gee, Jerry shoulda helped some of those living and breathing women and kids kicked off welfare...you know, those leeches on society you can't stand? The bums who should get a job and take care of their kids?
