2008 USP(G)ET pt. II: counting the days to 2012 primary thread 1

yeah, classism like that is a real winner

upping the poltical discourse with the words Fucking Moron in the headline. nice.

what the hell, though, intelligent adult discourse doesn't seem to be working, might as well do what we do every four years and throw everything at the wall to see if any of it sticks

SARAH PALIN FUCKS PENGUINS

perhaps I should clarify that what I meant was "more independents who are not into Palin" and not necessarily "more independents who rant, sometimes using inappropriate rhetoric"

i have never heard of this brilliant website before.

the AP's apparent flip is some serious stuff, considering where they've been and who runs shit over there.

also come on lolz @ VAN PALIN! I had not heard that before.

Love this, the latest from the Obama camp:

"Today on "The View," John McCain defended his campaign's latest ad campaign, which has been debunked repeatedly as both false and sleazy. In running the sleaziest campaign since South Carolina in 2000 and standing by completely debunked lies on national television, it's clear that John McCain would rather lose his integrity than lose an election."

In running the sleaziest campaign since South Carolina in 2000

oh snaps

would rather lose his integrity than lose an election

this is also a choice line - expect it will get repeated ad nauseam soon enough

McCain was also pushed on his stance on abortion, saying he thought Roe v. Wade was a bad decision. Saying he'd nominate justices who strictly interpret the constitution, Whoopi asked if that meant she'd be returned to slavery:

i think the main reason im not as worried as i could be is that the narrative that is clearly taking place here is similar to the one that apprehended HRC's campaign - she was "calculating," and more than sexism i think this was the one that did her in, she was a 'below the belt'-kind of politician. basically the same thing we repeat ad nauseum here. and mccain's falling into the same trap ... 'sleazy politics'

This is the way you pick a fight with McCain. Hammer him on integrity and honor, and wait for him to hit back too hard. He will overreact.

^^^^ so OTM

wait, palin doesn't believe in the separation of church and state?!

mccain's pushing narrative on a basic level, "CHECK OUT THESE NEGATIVE ASSOCIATIONS," while Obama pushes it on a meta level ... its almost civil rights movementesque in its conceptualization - get pummelled on TV by attacks and the narrative builds on its own without you having to do much other than saying you want something different.

btw guys the palin in a bikini with machine gun by the pool pic that originated on ILX was mentioned in USA today the other day

next thing you know, they will be posting Dennis Prager columns

that originated on ILX

What?

just like hen fap

it's doctor casino's friend

's body

That's funny. I mean, that thing is all over the Internet. I think there's even a Snopes page for it.

yeah there's a snopes page for it - had no idea it was ILX-originated! Awesome!

hope dr. c doesn't mind me posting this up here

lose his integrity than lose an election"

sweet. more like this, plz

really that pic was on ilx first??!? hahahaha i've seen that like everywhere, i had no idea

Crutis77 needs to get in on that.

Having done some research, "ILX-originated" is stretching it, kinda. The original photo was taken by ILXor Doctor Casino (of a friend of his), but the Photoshopping was done by the Flickr user "Innocuous Fun" and the Photoshopped photo was posted on Flickr, at which point it took on a life of its own.

Innocuous Finn

anyway back to the topic at hand I cannot believe how many zingers are came out of that View appearance (I don't like Whoopi but damn, nicely done!) May have to actually watch when I get home.

it was posted pretty early on, like, the morning the selection broke, to ILX if i remember right - maybe someone can find the link in the veep thread? seeing as dr. c doesnt know with whom it originated, i wouldnt be surprised if it was an ilxor or lurker who made it, posted to flickr and linked it here

am0n was the first person to post it i thot

Gov. Sarah Palin says Sen. Barack Obama just might regret not picking Sen. Hillary Clinton as his vice presidential running mate.
Palin

In an exclusive interview with ABC News' Charlie Gibson, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin says Barack Obama may regret not picking Sen. Hillary Clinton as his vice presidential running mate.

"I think he's regretting not picking her now, I do. What, what determination, and grit, and even grace through some tough shots that were fired her way -- she handled those well," the Alaska governor told Charles Gibson in her third and final exclusive interview with ABC News.

Sen. Charlie Huggins, a Republican from Palin's hometown of Wasilla, appeared in camouflage pants on a short break from moose hunting to cast his vote. He lamented the political maneuvering that he saw as trying to interfere with the investigation.

"I see all this duck-foot action under the water," Huggins said. "Let's just get the facts on the table.

love this - duck duck moose
