Being friends (or pretending to be) with Tom "LESBIANS IN OUR SCHOOLS" Coburn is a black mark in my book. Fuck that Okie asshole.

As a congressman in 1997, Coburn protested NBC's plan to air the R-rated Academy Award-winning Holocaust drama Schindler's List during prime time. Coburn stated that, in airing the movie without editing it for television, TV had been taken "to an all-time low, with full-frontal nudity, violence and profanity." He also said the TV broadcast should outrage parents and decent-minded individuals everywhere. Coburn described the airing of Schindler's List on television as "...irresponsible sexual behavior...I cringe when I realize that there were children all across this nation watching this program."

more like tom COCKBURN
― velko, Saturday, 27 September 2008 21:33 (fifteen years ago) link
wow, calling an airing of schindler's list "irresponsible sexual behaviour" is so amazingly fucked up

i mean whatever you think of that movie. that is fuuuuucked.

I understand the gag factor in seeing an embrace of someone with detestable views, but being able to work with someone is not the same as taking BFF photobooth I ENDORSE YR VIEWS BROSEF pics with them.

he shouts out coburn waaaaaaaaaayyyy too much IMHO. so unnecessary
FWIW i do more work to help get obama elected than anyone else on this board

So that thing McCain mentioned during the debate about Obama requesting $932 million in pork is more or less accurate, right? Admittedly it's not something I care about that much compared to the bigger issues, but it would count as a flaw, and as far as I can determine it seems to be true.
― i fuck mathematics, Sunday, 28 September 2008 05:37 (fifteen years ago) link
my guess (i have not researched the details re: obama) is that a fair amount of what GOP usually term "pork" would be funding for projects in the state/district that would benefit the public
that is part of his job imho. i got plenty of things to criticize about obama but this is not one that troubles me unless there is some real cronyism stuff in there.
― regular guy, scranton, pennsylvania (daria-g), Sunday, 28 September 2008 05:56 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah I wish he would actually defend some of the earmarks instead of saying that the system is "broken" since it's kind of giving the point to McCain, and not requesting any earmarks for the next year isn't going to do great things for Illinois. If he was just like, "hey here's all the useful stuff I did with my earmark money, I was working for my constituents, fuk u John" that'd be cool.

FWIW I don't think anyone on this thread was attacking your motivations for criticism (nb: on this thread, other bs attacks on your motivations notwithstanding). Your point is well taken.

i assumed campaign work, but then i thought maybe she just knows more people who are "uncomfortable with" Obama than the rest of us
i might do Camp Obama, but I'm probably a little too Federal court for door-to-door; should do voter protection if I'm able to

Obama's biggest flaw is that he doesn't have a tic which would make him suitable for a really good "SNL" evisceration.

well, it does. there are things that are true and things that are false, at the end of the day.

I think I remember hearing Obama use the word "cockamamie" at least once. Which is just, I mean, come on... it's just a foolish word.That said, my Grandma occasionally employed the phrase "Holy Jupiter!" with notable success, so I could be wrong here.
