...like Ivory soap, the shortcomings float to the top. It's no place for on-the-job training as the untutored novice, now making concessions with the Clintons...next a chat with Putin, Ahmadinejad, Chavez and assorted tinpot dictators around the world. Remember the song: "Good job, well done, Neville Chamberlain!" I like the way your article brought the America haters and Christian haters out of the woodwork.
I assume that you are peeking into Salon and reading the responses from 'the other side'. You, all of you, are BAD AMERICANS! You are BAD CITIZENS! Aside from that, you are liars, racists, cowards and fools. Are you reading this and laughing? Are you that craven that you would attack honorable people so shamelessly? At long last, have you no decency? Is your goal to see that John McCain is elected, or is it to keep "the nigger out of the White House?" Come on! Step up! Let us have a real debate. I want to hear it from you, not slipped under the door.
to waste three pages 'debunking' the hate emails. I mean what was the point, clearly, for 90% of the Salon readers there's no need, we're intelligent enough to see through the GOP tactic. The 10% that don't are just trolls sent here by the GOP to stir the soup.
As for who the emails go out to, if you get one and buy it I am willing to bet the farm you're either an overt or latent racist to begin with and just looking for any sliver of confirmation in your beliefs. As an example, one of the letters you picked as an editorial choice declared that their family members are intelligent, or not stupid, but they couldn't understand why a black student would write a thesis paper on black and white relationships. Give me a fucking break, if they can't understand why a black student at an overwhelmingly white Ivy League school might be interested in writing about race relations then they are stupid. Perhaps even willfully so.
Attitudes like this lead me to be so disappointed with this country. Two of my best friends are ex-pats now with no intention of returning and I sometimes wonder if they have made the wiser choice. Half this nation seemingly wants to have the person in the most powerful position in the world be no intelligent or even less intelligent than they are. What the fuck is wrong with you GOPers?
You elect the C student who skated on his families coat tails, twice by God, and allowed him and his cronies to prison rape this nation for eight years and as if your bungholes don't hurt enough you want to put the guy who finished 895 out of 899 at the Naval Academy and was only there cause of his families connections in his place. I mean seriously, do you want the President to be someone that most of us could beat in Scrabble?
It would seem so, they lap up these bullshit emails like cheap two dollar whores pulling a trick and happily go to vote their economic future away each November. I understand why corporate America wants these tools in office, its been good for them, well until they realize that the regulations put in place mostly by Democrats actually benefit them as well (I'm looking at you fucking banking/credit/mortgage industry).
I mean Obama has his flaws, he's more than happy to let AT&T and gang slide on knowingly breaking the law for the last eight years but at least he's a smart mofo. One would have to think at least he'll be able to match leaders and countries (McCainiacs - Putin is not the leader of Germany) and have a basic sense of geography and perhaps not sell all of our civil rights to corporate interest behind the veil of the GWOT. He can't be any worse than the moron in office now or the one that wants to replace him.
It's become predictable what to expect in the letters as of late. A couple of weeks ago I mentioned kind of flippantly that after letter # 100 the insults ratchet up and civility goes for an extended walk. You can cut and paste the last 100 letters from any thread they'd all (almost) be the same. Unfortunate, because in between there are some thoughtful posts (and posters), some of whom have given me pause about a couple of my opinions. Shame.
I thought the line was "Your doing a heck of a job Brownie..."
As for OJT let's see, so far McCain thought Iran was training al Queda, when in reality they are training Shia insurgents in Iraq, thought Putin was the leader of Germany, moved the country of Iraq so it borders with Pakistan, thought Somalia was Sudan, has magically promoted Patreus from commander of CENTCOM to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has put Czechoslovakia back together and probably most damning of all, he confused the Green Bay Packers with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
You're right, the White House is no place for OJT, or for someone losing his mind or for someone just too stupid to fucking be there.
"Charlie don't surf" seems to be losing it right on stage. And he still may win. Wow.
Thanks for the backup, "reverend", [after my ignored info for months concerning this Kryst], thank you....
However, BHO [Barak III] is by no mean in any part African Negro as his true granny [Barak II]'s mother is not Sarah from the African Luo tribe but a pure Arab woman, the numero una wife, and daughter of another Arab slave traders' line, also born in Africa. Barak's grampa [Barak I] was an important person, a Govt servant under the English and son of a line of Muslim Arab slave traders in that part of East Africa incl. Kenya and as such had many wives.... [14 in all] of which Sarah was one. When Barak II was little his [real]Arab mother died and he was placed in the custody of [aunt] Sarah were he grew up as a young boy and indeed tended Sarah's one and only (milk)goat. You are right, Barak II had 3 wives of which 2 were white.... he didn't fancy his first, an African bush negress. However, Ann Durham [wive no 2] kicked the college bum out after she realized she had to work and slave for the Muslim while he just bummed around.... leaving his dropp offs anywhere on this planet.
Also, Barak III is not born on US soil (Hawaii) but in Sarah's house in Nyangoma Kogelo, Siaya District, Kenya where his mom and dad were visiting "Gramma" Sarah. Ann didn't like the idea of her son being born in Africa [she could have had a heated argument - she's certainly the type], tried to fly home but was refused by the airline for being too far in her term. She flew home as soon as she could after her son was born. He was included with her ticket !! I don't believe one word of him being born on US soil, Hawaii. She could have said he was born with a midwife at her mother's house but that would be impossible in Honolulu 1962. Furthermore, her mom would have objected !! But, if indeed so there would be a legal birth certificat of which there is none !! NO BC, NO RECORDS AT ALL.... only a computer data of Ann coming home with a kid.
So, my dear Reverend, that is the part missing from your otherwise well informed data bank. Donah////
