Sinnard,

Are you still taking a big brain dead dump on these boards perchance to get people to admire the craft of your crap? Hope it's workin' out for you.

Andrgyne,

You're having the all the lonely impact of an impotent insect. Buzz on baby!

You rule the internet!

Andragyne simple minded?

What can one say about an insect intellect? Just keep buzzing about?

Hey red,

"It'll take time?" You can take all the time you want twiddling your fingers....I'm going on to bigger and better, I'm going to Obama.

As far as time goes, there's no time like the present.

Tuesday, March 18, 2008 01:33 PM

I'm glad you're glad Hillary

And I'll be even gladder when your campaign is a bitterly distant memory.

Chris you dirty old git.

Sinnard,

What are you? A six year old political scientist? Such seasoned perspectives! Really man, you're really making a case for the rabid reality that you really are raving mad. Don't bust a blood vessel bud!

The candor was called for...

And I appreciate Mr. Obama.

I appreciate Mr. Obama...

Hey guys, Bush said in a speech today that Iraq was "worth it."

Do you think Hillary Clinton will back him up on that?

Tuesday, March 18, 2008 06:20 PM
Original article: Was Obama's speech enough?

Hey Joan,

Was the speech too "black"

Was the speech too strong?

Perhaps you and reverend Wright together

Don't know your rights from wrong

Thanks so much for seeing things

So neatly perceived in black and white

But we are no longer your children

Who live in endless night

Tuesday, March 18, 2008 06:35 PM

Bush has just stood in front of a rostrum today and declared that invading Iraq was worth it.

I wonder if Clinton will go on record as saying the same.

Kate,

I've been bamboozled by Obama. And lord, I like it!

Tuesday, March 18, 2008 07:10 PM

Having faith in the American public...

..is like having faith that a cretinous child will grow up to be an accountant.

Sure Obama's grandmother was a product of her own time

So is Joan, who evidently hasn't caught up very much.

Tuesday, March 18, 2008 08:23 PM
Original article: Was Obama's speech enough?

Joan,

Thanks for the stuck up and stodgey analysis of Obama's speech, and thanks especially for that special out of touch touch that you brought to what we can now only call Grandmagate.

Janalu,

Obama is about as "extreme" as I can't believe it's not butter!

Shelly

What Wright said about Hillary is What Wright said about Hillary. Not what obama said. Know the difference or sulk and pout in petty self indulgence. What's Obama supposed to do? Spend every second of a church service monitoring Wrights remarks?

Tuesday, March 18, 2008 08:46 PM

Krrrazy Kate!

Still hung up on hoodwinks huh? Guess what! You've been bamboozled!

Amerigo,

This lax Catholic can unequivocaly attest to the fact I have strongly disagreed with many of the positions of the holy see in Rome! Wow! And how!

Baltimore,

I think "obfuscate" is a new word Kate just learned, along with "hoodwink" and "bamboozle." She's not the brightest buld in the box or the swiftest thrush in the field.

I don't think Bill Clinton is a racist

In his current incarnation he's just a clown.

That was real "Superfly."

I wonder if Katex has ever encountered a black person before

She seems to think black people are all disembling and sygnifying off to one another.

I sure wouldn't wanna walk in your shoes...the shoes of the small minded.

I don't have to be polite either...go piss up a rope.

Hillary Clinton is off to Michigan today to ask for a new primary

I smell the scent of desperation in the air. A Michigan voting official spoke on NPR this morning and said that there is about as much of a snowball's chance in hell of there being a new primary in Michigan.

Joan, well told, you're great

Now's the time to bring up the glaring injustice,

of Grannygate.

I think Joan is taking something here personally

Rather than objectively. The grandmother thing mystifies me.

Achilles heel?

Keep reaching walker. Clinton is still looking like a crippled horse.

Original article: Was Obama's speech enough?

We're finally going to have the oppurtunity to read Hillary's first lady papers.

It was announced today that records kept of Clinton's first lady doings will be available to public scrutny from the Pres. Bill Clinton presidential Library. Why so late? Could it be foot dragging or just fate?

I really find it odd,

How quite a few people paint Obama as a liar because they insist he should have shown everything about his religion etc. I don't know about most people, but where I come from religion and worship are a pretty private thing. But hey, go ahead, crucify the guy.

Wednesday, March 19, 2008 02:36 AM

Amity,

Between you and walker maybe Obama should be reaching out to redknecks instead.

We are not "besotted!"

But I am begining to believe you're bewitched!

Original article: Was Obama's speech enough?

Ya know...

A lot of us white or black have family and relations who are racists, but does their racism define us as individuals? No. If we're thinking, feeling, people, we all know that humanity sinks or swims together. I sure hope there are people in America who can look at color beyond stark black and white terms. One thing I've always resented when filling out a govt. form, is having to check off "white" as my race when I'm actually more olive complected. Sometimes I like to screw around and check off "Eskimo" because that's all my ethnicity really means to me.

furtail,

I very much agree, Wright is a product of his turbulent times. But Texas Democrat, you're probably a product of Little House on the Praire.

Wednesday, March 19, 2008 04:41 AM

furtail,

Wright is retired from his pulpit. He's 100% out of the sermonizing business.

Froth at the mouth for the folks a little more will ya?

A "speecth?"

What exactly is THAT?

Wednesday, March 19, 2008 05:04 AM
Original article: Was Obama's speech enough?

I agree,

It was a good speecth.

I'd go beyond that...

..to include dyded in the wool redneck Clinton fans.

Besides calamity?

Wednesday, March 19, 2008 05:28 AM

Here's an idea

Obama should call up his Chicago compadre Al Capone, ask Big Al to do a hit on Wright, and then dump the pastor's dead body in the great lakes.

The pirates of political spin...

..are gonna to take and interpret Obama's words any which way they can. So let the four winds blow...

Wednesday, March 19, 2008 06:01 AM
Original article: Was Obama's speech enough?

Yeah,

But you see in simplified terms Bush is white, and Wright is always wrong.

Wednesday, March 19, 2008 06:08 AM
Original article: Was Obama's speech enough?

One thing about the speech is sure

During and after Obama's oratory, plenty of people were weeping from his words, and they weren't Clinton crocodile tears either. People were moved, because unlike Clinton, they didn't regard what they were hearing as "just more words."
