What McPeak's remarks revealed is less an anti-Semitic mind-set than an ignorant reading of the Jewish community's attitudes toward Israel - Joe

Great to know that one of Obamas trusted advisors is not anti-Semitic, but just ignorant about jews. That's a relief. Add that he is also ignorant about Joe McCarthy, and is considered a maximus dumb-ass by his peers in military matters, you then have another Obama change we can believe in moment.

There appears to be craving for examples of transgressions by Obama and his underlings, but it is clear that even if you shoved Obama transgressions the size of Manhattan up certain peoples butts, they would still be saying, "Oh yeah, but give some examples, where's the examples, huh?"

Which leads me to conclude some people have big asses.

An unbiased opinion from an Obama supporter, something new, something we can believe in, like McCain figuring out we are electing an American president.

The president we are waiting to elect is an American.

Learn something new everyday.

That Michelle was suggesting that we all should just get together and sing and throw flowers in the air, even the "garlic nosed" eyetalians?

Wright has been the Obama familys preacher for 20 years. A "man of God" who likes to use ethnic slurs, shout bombastic rhetoric against the white suppressor and give awards to anti-semites.

So which does the American people ignore first, the 20 years of church attendance with a pastor who is/was a personal friend, his spiritual advisors ethnic slurs, or his spiritual advisors anti-semite relationships?

Traditional military tactics don't work very well against guerrillas. We proved that in Vietnam, and we've spent five years proving it again in Iraq. The Russians spent about ten years proving it in Afghanistan.-- Alkaline

Especially guerillas that are motivated by more than a chance to make a few bucks. Iraqi government forces and "pro"-American forces fight as long as they are paid. Anti-government forces fight for blood revenge, their beliefs, their honor, and for Allah. They are personally committed enemies with long memories and patience over generations. The "surge" to them is just a cloud passing overhead on an otherwise clear night.

This was all predictable and ignored. I think we like the flavor of war.

The Journal/NBC poll shows Hillary Clinton and Obama tied, with each having the support of 45 percent of registered Democratic voters..."

"Obama maintains a 49 percent to 39 percent advantage over Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination..."

And that makes sense, how? Tied for support but 10% lead for the nomination?

At any rate, 45% support amoungst your own party is nothing to crow about, especially if your platform is based on being the "uniter".

Also based on campaign contributions any idea why the 45% Obama supporters more easily part with their cash than the 45% Clinton supporters?

When a Salon article favors Obama, then finally thank the political Gods, Salon is no longer biased and it's Change We Can Believe In. If that doesn't work, blame the Clintons. Yeah, thats new.

But Reagan was effective at getting his vision implemented.

So what? So was Hitler. Being able to set direction and influence people is a primary competency for an executive, but there are plenty of powerfully influential executives who screw things up royally on a daily basis. Example number one: Bush does not know crap about crap but continues to be able to push thru thoughtless short-sighted agendas.

Obama setting a "vision" of "regulating" corporations is the same empty rhetoric as McCain espouses with his "taxes are bad" BS. We are going to have regulations and we are going to have taxes. We need to pick a leader that can most effectively determine which taxes, laws, or regulations to implement and which to rescind that best suit the greater health of society. We are not doing that, our elections in the age of media is now more than ever based on cult of personality and bumper stickers.

The more I participate in politics the more I am convinced that politics and religion were invented only so we would not either all kill each other or not all jump off of a cliff without at least discussing it first.

With us getting Sunni insurgents "on our side" by bribing them with weoponry, the Shiites and Sunnis can now really go on a wild ass killing spree against each other.

Was any of this not predictable?

...in this ruling Bush is to the LEFT of the Supreme court?

Here are some hightlights

"You Are Not One of Us"

gET READY TO GET ON YOUR KNEES AND START WORSHIPPING oBAMA

Just wanted you to know that not all white folk hate black folk.

PULL THE PLUG ON HILLARY.

I'd prefer an axe-murdering child-molester to Obama, too.

fuck-wit!

God DAMN America! God DAMN America!

Hagee and Robertson which will cancel out Wright in the general election.

you made a pro-Clinton post, now I will point out how worthless and wrong your opinion is.

douchebag extraordinaire

the Clinton campaign realizes that they are going to be labeled racist no matter what they do

This conversation is depressing

A lot of venom being spat here.

every Clinton supporter on Salon as a white racist, or a priveldged (sic) white woman, or a Republican, or some right-wing shill, or a victim, and hiding undercover

I am your worst enemy

the Obamateur's are simply a traveling carnival

wanking moron

you are a bigger bigot than me

You say: "It would, however, be utterly disgraceful to vote for someone who I honestly believe is a crook and a liar." Funny, but this is how I feel about Obama.

She has descended into madness.

This isn't hopeful. And it isn't a good sign of "transcending" politics as usual" or "turning the page."

I will just remind you that HRC and Obama's POLICIES and VOTING RECORDS in the Senate are 95% the same.

Ann Coulter must be laughing so hard she's pissing her pants.

...to any candidate that raffles off tickets and air-fare to a NBA finals game.
