Original article: Was Obama's speech enough?

Morons, idiots and Hillary-bots

"In an attempt to defend his pastor, he actually accused his own grandmother of making racist remarks. A woman, who in the same speech he makes this accusation, he claims sacrificed again and again for him. When he wanted to come up with an example of racism within his own family, who chose the one person who held him nearest to her heart."

Truly, comments like this reveal the character of the poster, not Obama. Basically, you're a big liar, and you have entirely lied about Obama's statement. Your statement demonstrates that you are both stupid and a Clinton fan. The two go together so very often.

Hillary's First Lady Schedules

are being released. That's gonna be fun. Of course, she should have listened to Obama and released them months ago, but I guess, like her taxes, there's funny stuff buried in her schedule.

Here's a preview:

Mon: Poured tea. Called it "foreign policy seminar"

Tues: Poured tea. "Mission to Bosnia" *SNORT* They'll never know...

Wed: Poured tea. "Super-secret foreign mission"

Thurs: Tea. "Foreign mission"

Huh

"Clearly, I don't have to figure out what YOUR character is. . . It is obvious that you are the type of people who resort to venomous name calling in the absence of a substantive rebuttal."

Well, where I live, you don't "rebute" shit. you just wipe it up.

Consider yourself wiped.

Obama and his grandmother

"I couldn't disagree more. My parents, both of whom are in their 90s and still living in Arkansas, loved me and did their best to raise me. They are unrepentant racists. "

Yep. Let us not forget that all of us are products of the modern era in which racist statements, antisemitic statement, antiethnic statements are emblematic of poor upbringing. I am 55. My dad occassionally makes antisemitic statements of the "jew him down" type. He is not antisemitic. These statements were what was said.

I would be shocked if Obama's grandma was not racist. She lived in KS, where there are NO blacks, and certainly were none when his grandma was being born. Of course she is racist. So what? He noted it, in an accepting way. It shows that he is not an idiot, and respects her for what she is, warts and all.

Hillary haters

It's just amazing how confused the Hillary-bots are. Obama just does not fit the program. Those of us who support Obama do not hate Hillary, unlike the clueless, moronic, and lying statements made by her supporters.

No, I always find Sen Clinton to be sensible, gracious, and thoughtful. I don't support her, but I don't hate her.

What I do dislike, from the bottom of the my heart, is the coterie of vindictive, stupid, venal, moronic, assholish, incompetent, unpleasant followers of hers. These persons are UNIFORMLY jerks. They are nasty. They are without grace, pleasantness, or any redeeming quality.

Long ago, I thought carefully about who to support. I read blogs. Edwards' supporters were mostly reasonable. Obama's supporters were thoughtful and enthused. Hillary's supporters were strident, hysterical, unpleasant, full of shit, and lied continually. It became clear that only assholes supported her, so I determined that I could not.

So, I have no problems with Sen Clinton. It's the assholes around her that cause all the problems.

My suggestion to Clinton supporters: Sit down and shut up. Your strident and unpleasantly partisan pimping of Hillary has lost her INNUMERABLE possible supporters. The more you say, the worse her chances get.

At the end of the day

Right now, Obama is going to win. Hillary needs to win PA by 30 or so. She won't.

Obama is picking up Edwards delegates. He picked up 1/2 of Edwards' IA delegates. Hillary got none. He is picking up CA delegates.

Obama won TX. He got more delegates.

So, you Obamassassins can try to get him, but you won't. So, I suggest you come to terms with reality. We dems are supposed to be the reality-based folks.

It's up to you: President Obama or President McCain.

It's up to you: choice in clinics or choice in back alleys.

It's up to you: peace with Iran or war with Iran.

You cannot be serious

"One question though: Do Sen. and Mrs. Obama let Rev. Wright speak incendiary words to their children? As an honored honorary Uncle I would hazard a guess that Wright has times alone with the children."

You simply cannot. I am just amazed that ANYONE could have written ANYTHING as TOTALLY STUPID as what is above.

His children are 4 and 6 or thereabouts. Do you SERIOUSLY believe that a minister of whatever type would say these things to children? Do you really believe that? What a moronic comment, seriously.

Wright's comments were for adults, delivered in the sanctuary on Sunday morning. Children are not there, and if they are, the parents are with them.

Mark Penn is unreliable

Between his pimping for Blackwater, his pimping for John McCain, and his pimping for Hillary, we know only one thing about Penn.

He's a pimp.

He has no principles except "where's the money." His insights are governed by his payments. His scientific method is shit (speaking as a professional here, he knows didly). His ideas about clustering/segmentation are entirely theoretical, and have no relationship to actual data. It's just crap.

Evolution is a test

If you understand evolution, you are intelligent. If you doubt evolution, you are a moron.

God invented evolution and Darwin was his prophet. The intent of the evolutionary theory is to separate the humans from the dumb animals. The dumb animals do not believe in evolution, which god condemns. Humans believe in evolution.

All of those Hillary lies about foreign policy

are now coming back to bite her in the butt.

She did NOT land in Bosnia under fire. The whole notion is IDIOTIC. She is not in the military. She did not negotiate.

For the 8 years of Bill's presidency, after she and Magaziner totally screwed up health care reform, she poured tea. They kept her away from responsibility. She didn't do a good job with health care, and nobody trusted her.

Now she is making ridiculous claims. They are going to finish her off.

PLEASE, make it happen FAST, FAST, FAST...
