On pre-emptive strategy. I have to think with the new policy emphasis there was at least a 50-50 shot of King thinking--the next time he calls someone a blank (I didn't say it), I'm bringing the hammer down on him.
So all someone has to do is make something up about the Clinton's, get it in the media, and you send Obama 25 more bucks. I know Obama is a great guy and all and the campaign is hope, but that leaves some definite room for exploitation.
Among other things said----The occupier will be bled day by day, drop by drop....and.....The invader will come in and be unable to get out.
Is for wimps.
It's a tricky paradox when you choose an anti-common-decency topic like Knight. But I'm no party pooper and in the new prevailing spirit I shall not say "nerd" again.
When I post please imagine upper teeth dug into lower lip and a trickle of blood.
Hillary go after some of the republican crossover. That's Obama's 100 percent owned personal turf----the moderates who may-will vote for him in the general, and wing nuts who won't.
Of who is at the top of the Reds line-up, you have Griffey, Dunn, and Ross coming behind them. Who fanned 356 times in 1,311 at bats last year, or about 1 in 3.5.
Is just trying to reach the average Texonian.
Is the type of ad usually employed on the republican side. Maybe since Obama, as usual, will be getting delegates based on a bunch of wing-nuts crossing over just to vote against Hillary, Hillary is appealing to their fears over their Clinton hating.
In the war on drugs we need to forget about the bill of rights and the constitution.
Left nuggets of coaching wisdom to his son. Texas Tech just had their worst conference loss in school history.
On Buckwheat of the Little Rascals. Can he admit that Spanky was The Man.
Glenn needs to post and state whether he denounces, rejects, or embraces Farrakhan. Or denounces and rejects.
Farrakhan doesn't wear a flag lapel pin and neither does Obama.
That for every one gay person at the "small but wildy enthusiastic" one-time-slot gay parade, there's probably 2 or 3 more over the entire festival.
Would condone the zebras fucking analogy.
Mardi Gras has a strong gay component.
You need to go back to the very start. You misinterpreted my initial post as me disagreeing.
Read mine. I said the media creates the Farrakhan bogeyman, then it's a "legitimate issue" for debate.
O'Reilly's extended lead segment was the Farrakhan-Obama thing..........And his take was that it's overblown and not important.
Needs to reject Snoop Dog and O.J. Simpson for damn sure.
This is where somebody is supposed to say I can't define nerd but I know it when I see it.
Where Reggie Miller and the Pacers scored 8 points in 15 seconds or whatever against the Knicks to tie and then win in overtime, if they just got 5 or 6 was it not as close as the score indicated? But they ended up barely winning so it must have been as close as the score indicated, much closer than the score indicated when they were down 8. So one or two shots going in can determine if it was as close as the score indicated.
That to scale the ladder to be a Presidential nominee or a President, for either party, you'd have to be intelligent enough to privately look at the religious figures and groups in the campaign with a suspicious, dubious eye. I'd like to think even Dubya is that smart.
Well more than a little, about games being closer than the score indicated or not as close as the score indicted. Usually what happens at the very end of the game is offered up as evidence. One team hits a 3 at the buzzer. The other team may have had some dude who hasn't shot a 3 all year fire one in as the shot clock expires out of desperation midway through the first quarter. Or other such examples from earlier in the game.
Have the same recognition as Farrakhan but like I said, long ago they just became kind of a joke. Not sinister. No matter what they said or did.
The link between these white pulpit clowns and white GOP candidates has been much stronger.
The media has always given special seriousness to Farrakhan rants. Then it turns out there is some itsy bitsy, teeny-weeny, horse manure link between him and the black candidate it's "MY GOD" and so the stern face and stern questions at the debate.
That a black minister who says stupid stuff will be given special serious consideration (particularly with a black candidate running with a real shot at winning). Much more so than white ministers who say stupid stuff. After a while they are just chalked up in the humor category more often than not.
Were all the people that died in Katrina gay? If not, why were the straights killed? I guess for not killing the gays when they had their parade.
They create the hobgoblin Farrakhan, then it's a legitimate issue to be asked about.
See what you get.
Farrakhan has about 75 or 80 percent name recognition in America and Hagee about one.
Despite the nearly hysterical protests of his supporters..........Last night they were playing the video of him guaranteeing Illinois to finish his senate term. Same bullshit as everyone else.
A 5 grand donation to be able to type whatever we want.
I'll have to write some conciliatory epistles towards Obama for a while. Get some eyes looking somewhere else.
Warnings do we get?
I am King. I post the column then start dumping on you in the comment section.
