"lynching party"

er, which he says would be bad????

"this is a fantastic movie to see if you're brain-dead or a moron"

movie poster:

"a fantastic movie"

bad... unless there's evidence that SHE HATES AMERICA

still a poor choice of words

gimme a break you guys

anyway, I bit the bullet and let the 90257816 skipped posts load and read the discussion, and I see it's been well covered. I still think it was an odd choice of words, but it's true that in the context he's being relatively decent.

self-righteous Nader blamers, and proofs that he didn't cost Gore, can be found in the documentary film An Unreasonable Man.

Save-a-Ho'Reilly

morbs i'm all in favor of breaking up the two-party system but nader's a cult of personality - he doesn't build movements and he does no actual organizing.

gabbneb unlike you i try to suppose that what people say is reasonable or unreasonable despite who they are, not because of it

self-righteous Nader blamers, and proofs that he didn't cost Gore, can be found in the documentary film An Unreasonable Man.

oh yeah? do they prove that Gore would have lost New Hampshire if Nader wasn't in the race?

only people say things

sorry i should have said "unlike deej"

do they explain why New Hampshire was the only state to go red in 2000 but blue in 1992, 1996 and 2004?

Tracer, I don't disagree with your last 2 points. Even if Obama picks Sam Nunn for VP I'd rather vote for a socialist than Nader this time.

Tracer, while I applaud your effort, O'Reilly has a history of saying and doing questionable things regarding race, so when he uses the phrase "lynching party" regarding a black candidate's wife it raises my eyebrow.

mocking a caller for using racial innuendo is a-ok with me, you should be applauding o'reilly, not me

what is the scripture again? "when a loathesome toad tells the truth on fox news, ye shall give obeisance as unto the highest of my cohort"

This picture says everything you need to know about Bill Clinton.

"I don't want to go on a lynching party, unless of course she does hate America. In that case, yeah, go for it, we'll hunt her down."

the caller does not use "racial innuendo," ("militant" is the closest she comes), O'Reilly does not "mock" her, and what he says is BARELY a defense of Michelle Obama. After which he defends Clinton against all those nasty Obama people.

"mr. o, i have a friend who says that the muslims in his town are very angry, very militant"

"well before i go off on a crusade against the infidel i'd like to get a few more facts in place, evidence, to say that's how they really feel"

omg o'reilly is saying he wants to go on a crusade against the infidel!!!

"If that's how she really feels -- that America is a bad country or a flawed nation, whatever -- then that's legit. We'll track it down."

"that's legit" doesn't refer to it being a legitimate point of view on her part; it refers to the lynching party, doesn't it?

ffs

No, I think it just refers to the viewpoint being "legit." Even I don't think O'Reilly would actually imply that a lynching party - even metaphorical - is "legit." I just think it was a bad choice of words. Anyway, I think impugning both of the Obamas' patriotism is far more offensive than the use of that phrase, and CNN is guilty of that too.

yeah i don't think he means literal lynching party obv.

Your search - "you can get anything you want at sylvia's restaurant" - did not match any documents.

so the clinton campaign responds to the circulation of the "dressed" obama photo:

Enough.

If Barack Obama's campaign wants to suggest that a photo of him wearing traditional Somali clothing is divisive, they should be ashamed. Hillary Clinton has worn the traditional clothing of countries she has visited and had those photos published widely.

This is nothing more than an obvious and transparent attempt to distract from the serious issues confronting our country today and to attempt to create the very divisions they claim to decry.

We will not be distracted.

fuck this shit

oh christ, that's just bullshit

morbs i'm all in favor of breaking up the two-party system but nader's a cult of personality - he doesn't build movements and he does no actual organizing.

I mean, wow. This is just so unbelievably, transparently disingenuous.

i can understand stupid ppl being like OMG TERRORIST at this but is anybody currently undecided about o vs hillary gonna take clintons side because of this? they are desperate as fuck!!

daria bailed out of this thread just in time. "Fail to defend the indifensible" etc

maybe not now but in the ge :-/ xp

if anything hillarys driving a stake in her own career w/ this shit, folks arent gonna be so quick to forgive this kind of dirty trick bs

yeah but thats what im saying - im sure it could influence undecideds between mccain & obama, but not clinton & obama!! so why is she doing mccain's dirty work right now!?!

yeah i had been capn save-a-hillary with my obamaniac friends for months now but with this news today i seriously resolve not to vote for her

luckily it looks like i wont have the option

I'm glad we're learning about all these amazing political skills in the primary not the general. HillaryCo doesn't seem to understand that the reason Bush gets away with this shit is because Bush is speaking the lines, not Rove.

and because they run all their bullshit through a red-face test first

m sure it could influence undecideds between mccain & obama, but not clinton & obama!! so why is she doing mccain's dirty work right now!?!
