2008 Primaries Thread 3: The Rejecting and Denouncening

This "loving your country" stuff is coming from a guy who got his d*ck sucked in the Oval Office, the ultimate symbol of American democracy, while he was the president - srsly, how can anyone swallow any of this, especially from him?

do people still srsly hold that agin him?? i've only recently 'wrapped my head' around how skeevy the whole thing was. i found it really boring back then for some reason.

i was well attuned to how full of shit the repub leadership by the time impeachment came around. now that was fascinating. Henry Hyde, the rest of those eberts, my own local congressman Jim Rogan who I'd theretofore thought of as generally earnest for a republican, as he'd come to my college to speak where I asked him some lefty question and he batted me down with logic. Jim was religious about taking Clinton down, weird stuff.

I just thought he'd be one of the last to be allowed to talk about loving his country or respecting the voters, considering what he did. But people forgive and forget (or, probably: don't give a shit)

(xpost)

and now the Clintons are (ok, indirectly) campaigning for the republican candidate, ain't that something?

re: Rogan so ironic he got taken out by Adam Schiff, Bill Clinton's brunette doppelgänger.

if i have my districts right

Find the joke here.

you're the one playing Ken Starr here

I like Suzy's pussy-cat picture.

guys, Hillary took the initiative in inventing the internet. Barry is too nice to tell you that, but you can bet that your friend Mr. Straight Talk Express will let everyone know that she's a legend in her own mind, and that all you need for verification of her experience and judgment is to ask her extremely trustworthy husband

What I don't understand is how the Dem. party leadership even allows this kind of crap anymore.

no such thing

"So, what's the difference between you and Clinton then?" - Obama's reply: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qUoN-fjvLY

I guess it's just a funny coincidence that the Clinton hatchet men are the "white boys"

Obama's big fairy tale, the press myth re Bill's racial attacks, read about all this and more in Fables of Clinton

Oooh, this sounds like it's going to end with everyone living happily ever after - nice!

In the presidential primary campaign, HRC benefits not just from the demographics of Pennsylvania, but its unique amber-preserved culture.

takes him a while to get on a roll there

But it's like he's dying to say the difference is character, or something blindingly obvious. Also Gabbneb OTM about Straight Talk Express, why else would McCain get chumsy w/HRC?

I think that clip of Obama is terribly impressive.

hey you wanna fucking puke? look at this picture!

OMG you mean McCain supports the war?!?

wait waht?

He's the only one not wearing camouflage gear - are those soldiers trying to get him killed?

lol

I could never forgive Sean Hannity for the way he and Foxnews treated Ron Paul. I dont have cable TV anymore because of it.

Okay THAT made me LOL.

that obama clip is great...it does take him a while to get going but that's what's kind of good about it; he's able to slip in lots of passive aggressive stuff while complimenting her

In some ways, Barack Obama's speech on race last week was as brilliant as it was nuanced. But for all its rhetorical beauty, it was also an enormous step backward and, in the end, a rather self-serving call for more discussion about racial grievance in a country that has already done way too much talking.

ughhhhh

Pat Buchanan: We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude?

goddammit guys this shit is trying my zen

and it's only just beginning

Anyone catch part of Richardson on the Today show?

plz explain the fucking relevance of daily Gallup poll to anything

daily gallup is essential to the 'sport' aspect for those heathens who didn't fill out their brackets.

Hitch:

To have accepted Obama's smooth apologetics is to have lowered one's own pre-existing standards for what might constitute a post-racial or a post-racist future. It is to have put that quite sober and realistic hope, meanwhile, into untrustworthy and unscrupulous hands. And it is to have done this, furthermore, in the service of blind faith. Mark my words: This disappointment is only the first of many that are still to come.

is that written in english?

wow

That same supposed message of his is also contradicted in a different way by trying to put Geraldine Ferraro on all fours with a thug like Obama's family "pastor." Ferraro may have sounded sour when she asserted that there can be political advantages to being black in the United States—and she said the selfsame thing about Jesse Jackson in 1984—but it's perfectly arguable that what she said is, in fact, true, and even if it isn't true, it's absurd to try and classify it as a racist remark.

trying to put Geraldine Ferraro on all fours

UH

Uh, welcome to the part of Obama's speech where he says that calling Ferraro a racist misses the point of her remarks, Hitchens.

why does Hitchens still have a job

yeah the all fours w/ a thug part was what I was wowing at

He hates religion so much that he sees red instead of black.

That Hitchens article is full of pernicious nonsense.

nothing like completely misinterpreting/misrepresenting a black man's remarks while simultaneously summoning the image of a thuggish black guy raping an old white lady, eh Hitchens

Onward and upward: The Obama Doctrine. (analysis of Obama's broader foreign-policy vision)

has hitchens always been weird about The Blacks?
