I think it comes from the belief that people only voted for Obama because he spoke eloquently. So there's this kind of bitterness and this comeuppance attached like, "Oh, you thought he was such an eloquent speaker, but he can only talk when he uses a teleprompter!" It's silly because it's a response to a strawman supporter of Obama.

Jay Leno: "Well, this is kind of embarrassing. At a speech to school kids in an elementary school in Virginia, President Obama used the teleprompter. He had a teleprompter set up to talk to the kids. The topic of the speech: Never taking the easy way out by bringing a cheat sheet to school."
Except he didn't use it to talk to the kids, only to the media after the event.

for the most part i think i keep up on my politics but was there like, a big slip up or goof that obama made or are ppl just assuming that's what will happen?

from Conservapedia_talk:Richard_Dawkins_Project, which is a whole thing in itself but this merits special attention in my opinion
Richard Dawkins clown song
Hi, I found this project after searching online for information about Dawkins, and when I saw your mention of Dawkins being a clown it reminded me of a little song me and some of the guys at church wrote last year! We wrote it on guitar and piano, but if any musicians out there would like to try their own arrangements, I'd love to hear them. How about a competetion with people uploading their versions here? Anyway, here are the words and chords:
* Verse 1 * (C)Most of us enjoy to rejoice in Christ * (G)To open our hearts to Him and enjoy life * (C)But some seem to hate God, and hate Christians too * (F)Atheists ignore the Bible, (G)ignore that it's true! * Chorus * (C)Like Dawkins, the man is a (G)clown * (C)Oh Dawkins, you do make us (G)frown * (F)You promote your nonsense (C)and defend Hitler's crimes * (G)But we reject you, and your (C)hate-filled types! * Verse 2 * Evolution theories of accidental life * With still no evidence, your theory's in strife * Monkeys to men, but no transitional forms * Give up on your worldview, and take Jesus' call! * Repeat Chorus
I would like to contribute as much as possible to this project (as you can tell I don't support Dawkins and his views!), what are the top priorities?

I think my favorite part is the extremely edgy rhyming of "crimes" with "types," but "forms" and "call" is a close 2nd

I like the unnecessary contrast in "But we hate you" – although you support Hitler's crimes (??? btw), they still found a way to reject you.

I actually have a scientist friend who knows what some of my pet hates are and he was kind enough to design a little physio-cybernetic dooley-bob which we implanted in the back of my neck - if I ever even attempt to rhyme anything at all with "frown," the self-poisoning mechanism will kick in and I'll be dead in minutes. currently working on legislation to compel all singers & songwriters to undergo the procedure, it's for the good of all to be honest

xxxxp: What are your opinions on Nico?
― kkvgz, Monday, 28 June 2010 10:34 (fifteen years ago)
my opinion is that if the One Lord, Jesus Christ, eternally begotten Son of the Father, God from God, light from light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in Being with the Father, through Whom all things were made, were Himself to rhyme "clown/frown/down," it'd still be a lame rhyme that brings down any song in which it occurs and, indeed, makes me frown in any song in which it occurs
I hope this clarifies my position somewhat

whoa whoa
Well-funded candidates increasingly use other "stalking horse" candidates to try to prevent their opponent from gaining a majority, as McCain backers used Fred Thompson in 2008 to prevent Mitt Romney from winning while McCain stumbled. Thompson obtained undeserved endorsements from national pro-life groups as well as heavy promotion on the Fox News Channel, despite virtually admitting that he would not become president. Thompson withdrew after serving his purpose of attracting pro-lifers and other conservatives away from rivals of McCain, and then Thompson immediately endorsed McCain.
The key early primaries are Iowa (caucuses), New Hampshire, Michigan, South Carolina and Nevada.

The telepromter meme, which I asked about upthread, is so bizarre to me. And based on this example, more worrisome to the right than the whole "running the nation into the ground" thing.
― Overblown 80's Gated Snore (Dan Peterson), Thursday, 23 September 2010 18:39 (fifteen years ago)
I guess the teleprompter thing is supposed to undermine the fact that he's generally considered to be a very good public speaker
― peter in montreal, Thursday, 23 September 2010 18:45 (fifteen years ago)
while running the nation into the ground is considered maybe less important because conservapedia writers are insane

Nearly 250,000 people will soon be without a single bookstore, as the last one is closing in Laredo, Texas. [54] Most books (other than the Bible) are liberal claptrap anyway, so this is probably good news.

The mainstream media (MSM), increasingly known as the lamestream media, refers primarily to the traditional media organs that existed in the United States of America prior to the popularity of internet news organizations.
The common denominator of the mainstream media is their censoring or downplaying stories that would lead viewers to conservative conclusions, and their use of photo bias, placement bias and other forms of deception to mislead viewers into drawing incorrect liberal conclusions. The term mainstream media usually refers to how the majority of commercial-based or taxpayer-funded news reporting and commentary consist of liberal bias, while falsely pretending to be objective providers of information.
