"For the first time in my life, I'm proud of my country." Not a candidate speaking, but it was one of the first indications that Obama would become vulnerable to the patriotism questions.

Also, Tuzla definitely doesn't deserve number 2. Drivers Licenses arguably had a bigger effect on the race than Wright, because it was the beginning of Clinton's slide out of front runner status, while Wright has yet to take Obama out of the lead, and probably won't.

Wright proves how stupid the media is, nothing more.

Why didn't you include flag pin.

This election has taught the media are nothing but J#$&OFFS

Add to that Hillary's asking everyone to cheer for the fillie, then the fillie comes in second and breaks both legs and has to be put down. Hillary, are you cheering for anyone else. If I was working for that campaign I would quit at once. It is cursed.

So glad you are here in New Orleans and taking in the Jazz Fest. It's a great city, a great time and we are so glad to share it with everyone. Put the pen down and enjoy yourself--it will all be there on Monday!

As usual, Ann Coulter's newest round of violence-tinged pundit appearances included going on CNN to call millions of Americans "traitors" (treason is a crime punishable by the death penalty) and suggest that Sen. Barack Obama is a covert terrorist assassin.

What did Ann Coulter do this week to earn this right to appear on the most trusted name in news?

She published a weekly syndicated column laced with violent-rhetoric in which she suggested that an Obama Presidency would result in the destruction of the U.S. by terrorists and--she joked about lynching Africa-Americans.

Is there nobody left at CNN who cares about this situation? I mean...why is it that a pundit who jokes about lynching blacks is allowed to appear on the largest broadcast platform in America?

McCain called his wife the C word in public. It's in Cliff Schecter's new book The Real McCain. And three reporters verified the incident. Here's an excerpt:

Three reporters from Arizona, on the condition of anonymity, also let me in on another incident involving McCain's intemperateness. In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain's hair and said, "You're getting a little thin up there." McCain's face reddened, and he responded, "At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you *unt." McCain's excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days.

Democrats have a big opportunity to expand their House majority today, and in a very unlikely place. The special election in Louisiana's Sixth District -- which gave 59% of its vote to President Bush in 2004 -- is being held today with Democrat Don Cazayoux favored to beat controversial Republican Woody Jenkins.

PHOENIX, Arizona (AP) -- Republican Sen. John McCain has been forced to clarify his comments suggesting the Iraq war involved U.S. reliance on foreign oil.

At issue was a comment he made at a town hall-style meeting Friday morning in Denver, Colorado.
"My friends, I will have an energy policy that we will be talking about, which will eliminate our dependence on oil from the Middle East that will prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East," McCain said.

The presumptive GOP nominee sought to clarify his remarks later Friday after his campaign plane landed in Phoenix. He said he didn't mean the U.S. went to war in Iraq five years ago over oil.

I suspect the teacher is the Fix right.
Hey, Fix what is the story on Chaos is he crazy or what?
You wouldn't be burying something damaging about Obama?
If it is not like he says let us know.
Thanks Buddy

Your English lesson for the day ...

The amount of information you put into a sentence is inversely proportional to the comprehension of the reader. Less info, better understanding. So:

It is important for history to reflect that while you have been running your Senate office and running this campaign, your actions and inactions in your home state of Illinois have been completely antithetical to your message of inclusiveness. In fact, your current handling of notice of discrimination against Americans who happen to be Hispanic makes you a racist and just another politician making untruthful statements. This will have ramifications nationwide if you are allowed to be ushered in as the next president without having publicly spoken out on your involvement in allowing bias against Hispanics to continue at IDHR & EEOC in your home state of Illinois.

MCCAIN NEEDS TO EXPLAIN TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WHY OUR CHILDREN ARE DYING FOR OIL COMPANY PROFITS-- AND HE WANTS IT TO CONTINUE FOR 100 YEARS.

McCain said:
"One reason was Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait, he said. "But also we didn't want him to have control over the oil, and that part of the world is critical to us because of our dependency on foreign oil, and it's more important than any other part of the world," he said."

what about this do you not understand, folks? for once he's telling the obvious truth. we are in Iraq because of the oil. period. our children are dying over there because the oil companies are making sh(tloads of money and they don't want to switch to alternative fuels.

it really is that simply. your children are dying for profit. and mccain is so cynical that now that he is running for president, he has to backtract when he tells the truth.

YET ANOTHER EXCUSE TO BRING UP WRIGHT?

6 out of 10 Americans believe there was a conspiracy to cover up the conspiracy to doctor the youtube Mickey Kantor video clip of the 1993 documentary "the War Room". I swear I heard him call folks in Indiana sh*t.
And in frame 571, I swear I see a puff of smoke behind the stockade fence in the grassy knoll.

It was the second time in as many days that McCain had to clarify his comments. On Thursday, he backed off his assertion that pork-barrel spending led to last year's deadly bridge collapse in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The Richardson gaffe was hilarious

The Hillary campaign sinking has to be a gaffe

The major gaffe has to be Obama's Philadephia speech - he ultimately decided to change his answer - however Obama really has no basis to change his answer which he gave in Philadelphia with such fanfare.

I believe the ultimate truth is that the public does not believe Obama.

Obama really has to come out and find a middle ground - he is running for President of the entire nation - however it is apparent that he is influenced by Black Liberation Theology, just like young bands list their influences - Obama is basically running from the issue.

At this point that is the worst he can do.

Obama needs to EXPLAIN to the American public that he is influenced by Black Liberation Theology but that does not affect how he will govern the country for all Americans.

Sound like a tough one? It is.

It is especially tough because the final jury on that one is the middle voters in the swing states - not exactly the most receptive crowd to Black Liberation Theology.

Obama knew this guy for 20 years and brought his kids to the church time and time again - really can not get around that - those are the facts - Obama is not entitled to his own version of the facts.

Obama is entitled to his version IF all the facts fit.

The problem with the Philadelphia speech AND Obama's current position is that there are too many contradictions.

Take a look at Richardson, who would believe he was a major league draft pick ??

what about bill richardson? He lied about being a major league draft pick. And what about his choice of anti-choice Byron White as his Supreme Court member he most admired in recent memory (only to disavow that choice at his last debate)?

The Politico's story on Giuliani using public funds to provide security for his "mistress" was as sleezy as it gets, but it hurt Giuliani more than any position that he could have taken to irk the conservative base of the G.O.P.

For 20 years Barack Obama hallejuhad and amend on Jerimiah Wright's racist anti-white and anti-America sermons because he agreed with what Wright was saying. Now however when he needs the white vote he gets religion and there are still people out there defending this con-artist racist. Unbelieveable!

I'd have to say that the gutter politicking by Bill Clinton ranks at the top -- that and woeful mismanagement of her campaign by candidate Clinton herself has certainly damaged her among influential Democrats in the leadership. And they are pretty much her only hope unless she can somehow get the rules changed.

It is interesting and rather curious that the No. 1 "controgaffe" made is by Rev. Wright as indicated by Chris.

I asked you to really look again at the top ten "controgaffes" and compare the No. 1 "controgaffe" to the rest of the other nine.

"Controgaffes" 2 through 10 are made by the presidential candidates. The No. 1 "controgaffe" is Rev. Wright?!?! Rev. Wright is not running for President last I checked. Rev. Wright should not even be listed because he isn't running for president and wasn't on the campaign trail.

I know Rev. Wright makes a good news story for FOX NEWS, but real issues that concern Americans should be the topic journalism.

we read that garbage from you feast a week ago about Walmart. It was 30 years ago. A minor little detail you conveniently and deliberately failed to mention before posting that garbage, likely a time before you were born.

So I take it that we're in agreement that the Obama campaign has done nothing to play the race card? Still no quotes or anything. Only heresay.

That's cool. That's what I thought as well.

I think the Clinton gaffe is the one that made me switch to Obama. She started into sarcasm during her race against Obama. One such incident was when she started talking about the skies opening up and so forth. She was so melodramatic, it was over the edge for me.

I find it curious that you put the media manufactured flap over Rev. Wright #1 on the list when he is not running for office.

You put it higher in importance than the lie that came out of Hillary's own mouth.

That seems pretty questionable, to me.

I wonder if it is of any interest to Indy voters that Hillary was on the board of Wal-Mart for six years? Wal-Mart is the largest union-busting behemoth in the world. She sat by idly for years knowing Wal-Mart had publicly declared "Unions are the biggest blood s*cking leeches in the world." Hillary is for working class folks? Ya right. Look it up. Also hypocritical is her admonishment of the Chinese. Wal-Mart is the largest importer of Chinese goods in the world. I find it odd that Hillary could on the one hand, serve on the board of Wal-Mart for six years, importing Chinese products, keeping unions out, then turn around and garner support from Unions, working class folk and then give speeches on the evils of China. THAT is the height of hypocrisy.

"Notice the qoute includes alot of info."

"I know about snipets also."

Obama is so out of touch with this country, it is hard to wonder why he thinks that he can win a general election.

Obama's ego has led him to believe that he is so superior to regular people who work day in and day out.

Remember, Obama got his start in his State Senate race from terrorists who used to be part of the Weather Underground.

Yea, I know all this stuff is hard to believe.

It is hard to believe that Obama would have a Rev. Wright in his closet and Obama would be a believer in Black Liberation Theology and its economic thoughts.

well.

It is hard to believe that Obama hangs out with terrorists from the 1960s - I guess Obama thinks its cool.

These stories are not made up - because who could make up this stuff????

The Obama campaign has taken its playbook from George Orwell - claiming to be transcendent while attempting to unite the black community along racial lines.

This is newspeak.

Americans need to call Obama out on his contradictions.

The birth of the modern environmental movement started in 1970. Congress passed lots of legislation for safe water and air. Then we had The Three Mile Island accident. Soon we had so many environmental laws passed it got to be impossible to build a new oil refinery or nuclear energy plant. We had really cheap gas prices back then and most cars only got around 15 mpg.

In the early 90s, Saddham invaded Kuwait. If he had kept going, he could have taken the whole Saudi peninsula. The question is: why did we fight Iraq?
The answer is oil. Why should Chris Matthews get his panties in a wedgie over this?

We are forced to import lots of oil from the Middle East. Congress won't let anyone build a new nuke plant or a new refinery to turn oil into gasoline. It is Congress that regulates oil and gas and how much it is taxed.

Now the Democrats want to starve the world by turning corn (food) into ethanol (fuel). Why? They will tell you they are doing it for the environment. This is the biggest lie you have ever been told by a politician. Only McCain is against ethanol factories.

I stand alone against the Obama campaign - which is throwing huge amounts of money at controlling these blogs.

We have a quiet time now because all the Obamaniacs are at Looptopia.

Yea, Looptopia, it's true.

UH did you know the whole campaign is media driven? Without the media the politicians don't exist--period nadda...

What if they started a war, and didn't tell anyone, would you know about it?

I took part in a MAJOR protest against the first Iraq war (we closed a major HWY for hours, truly a waste of time). Without media coverage the protest had no power--better realize where the power resides and know who's manipulating what you "know" to be "true."

Until the media gives light to situations--Darfur and makes it important enough--no one cares--How long has Tibet been under chinese control? Nixon's CIA supplied weapons to Tibetans to fight the Chinese--There has to be outrage and the only one who gives it power is your glorious media. Why do you think Murdock is buying so many news outlets--FOX the most distorted news available, yet they claim "we report you decide"--once they decide what and how to report--your decision has already been made for you.....

Time to pay attention...

What about the $400 haircut?

By the way, you're a reporter. To throw your hands up and say, "McCain insists his comments have been taken out of context, but that's politics," when you could, oh, straighten out fact from fiction like a reporter should reveals you're more interested on a nice closing line than actually doing your job.

The Fix might care to elaborate but this is the basic text of a letter I faxed today to my Senator Barack Obama.

Attention to: Illinois,
US Senator Barack Obama May 2, 2008
Washington, DC 20510
fax 1-217-492-5099

Ongoing Complaint, & Notice
It is important for history to reflect that while you have been running your Senate office and running this campaign your actions and inactions in your home state of Illinois have been completely antithetical to your message of inclusiveness when in fact your current handling of notice of discrimination against Americans who happen to be Hispanic makes you a racist and just another politician making untruthful statements which will have ramifications nationwide if you should be allowed to be ushered in as the next president without you having to publicly speak out on your involvement in allowing bias against Hispanics and racism to continue at IDHR & EEOC in your home state of Illinois. You would not deny you have a platform to speak to America when it concerns yourself. Most recently on April 29, 2008 for political expediency you in a self-serving manner used another public press conference to finally speak out and denounce your pastor after he made the same comment that upset Americans(I say it is only now you decided to do so because he happened to question your credibility and nothing more). This belief is based on my first hand knowledge of how you and your office have decided to handle the repeated notice of harm against Hispanics that is empowering this racism to continue. You have taken a new position on your pastor of 20 years, who cursed America, yet in my particular situation despite you and your Senate office again being placed on written notice by me you have not immediately taken a new position on even calling for any investigation into the Chicago office of the Illinois Department of Human Rights and the Chicago office of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission treating me, a Hispanic American, US-born citizen & one of your own constituents, in a racially biased and unequal manner even though the verifiable evidence is you and your Senate office over a course of years now with deliberate indifference towards me, an American who happens to be Hispanic, have never been willing to acknowledge the existing racism at IDHR & EEOC against me and never have been willing to stop the existing racism at IDHR & EEOC against Hispanics when as Illinois US Senator you must protect the full & equal rights of all your constituents in your home state of Illinois (despite any prejudice you may harbor towards us). I have to his disabled siblings one with Down's Syndrome and an elderly mother who suffers from a chronic illness so I do not want to be subjected to any further reprisals as I have a close family member who was written up in likely to be fired for no justifiable reason at a major Illinois University you recently opened your Senate office to assist(I believe just for me trying to exercise the same civil rights as not Hispanics enjoy as a matter of record, unimpeded).

You missed Billary's comment about Obama's silly immature idea of meeting with foreign leaders personally without preconditions. "I thought that was irresponsible and frankly naive,"

"But what about Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico, whose diplomatic specialty has been intervening in crises abroad?

In an interview late Thursday, Richardson refused to engage in the sparring between Clinton and Obama on the subject. "But on the substance, you know I've actually met a lot of these guys already - I've met Castro, I've met Chavez."--Washington Post

"the history books show her husband met with rogue leaders himself in office. Former President Bill Clinton met with both Hafez Assad of Syria and President-elect Hugo Chavez of Venezuela while he was in office." --W P July 26, 07

"Clinton's YouTube position was actually a reversal from a comment she made in April that it would be a "terrible mistake for our president to say he will not talk with bad people."--QC times July 25, 07

FL and MI did what they did because they feared being marginalized as either (a) one of a vast cloud of Super Tuesday state, or (b) a state that votes AFTER the nomination was secured.

So, they had a "beauty contest" that would put them in the media spotlight and might affect voters later on, especially on Super Tuesday. They each arranged things so that they'd be the only voting on their respective chosen days.

Well, they got their way. Now, they're whining about it.

Hey, if you eat your cake, can you complain that you no longer have it? That's FL and MI. They got to have the early primaries. They got the attention. They thought their votes wouldn't count either way -- whether they followed the rules or not.

Well, they didn't. Now, it seems their votes would have had value and even more value the later they had their primaries. Too bad. Too late for remorse.

Let them count?? Hey, why not have a whole new primary season starting on June 10?

I'm really tired of the people who whine about FL and MI. You make your bed; you get to lay in it. 'Nuff said.

martin edwin andersen ...
LMAO!
did you chug that kool-aid or go for the IV?

YOU S*CK!
THE MEDIA S*CKS!
You let us down with Iraq.
You let us down by harping on "gaffes"
You let us down by spending 30 minutes of a 60 minute show discussing Rev. Wright
Spending 30 minutes of a 60 minute show discussing Hillarys Bosina goof.
Meanwhile there is this thing called a war going on. The economy if failing and all you care about is ratings and website hits.
SCR*W YOU.

I urge all HIllary supporters...
I urge all OBAMA supporters for just this ONE story to refrain from attacks on Obama OR Hillary and instead indict the media for being pandering infotainment pigs.
WE EXPECT AND DESERVE MORE.

I watched Dan Abrams on MSNBC talk about Rev. Wright the other day for 30 minutes. Then they came back after that segment and discussed wether the media has anything to do with the issue.
So lets recap-
Talk about Rev. Wright for 30 minutes...

Then lets talk about talking about Rev Wright and wether or not we should be talking about it and how much should be said and how it should be said and right after this commerical we will be talking about talking about what Hillary said by mistake.

SICKENING

Calling on ALL NOBLE HIlLARY SUPPORTERS!!!

Calling on ALL NOBLE OBAMA SUPPORTERS!!!!

TAKE A STAND RIGHT HERE

Tell the media what you think. This is our chance.

Two Words: $400 Haircut.

Our own 'factcrapper' 'women voter' post when he showed stupidity and insulted the movement by calling it suffregett or something.

Oberman - and his crazy rants

Mitt Romney (the whole campaign)

CUT IT OUT. It's bad enough we get jerked around by gaffes and gotchas in real time, without you dredging them up all over again once we have mercifully managed to forget them. This is the crap that passes for campaign coverage in 2008.

Don't talk to me about gaffes. Don't even THINK about talking about a "gas tax holiday," either. Talk to me about energy policy, education, health care, jobs, financial institutions, the war ... and (OMIGOD these are still real issues) TORTURE, FISA, AND THE UNITARY EXECUTIVE.

I say we should pre-emptively attack every country that begins with "L" or "M."

I say we should amend the Constitution to require the practice of homosexuality by children under 12.

I say we should put Benedict Arnold on the $1 bill.

And I support Hillary Clinton.

I wonder when someone will call on her to support or denounce my views, and then make these statements the center of the campaign. My views are, after all, supremely important in predicting what kind of President Hillary would be.

And when you realize how much stuff is out there on the Clintons, you can only marvel at how civil Barack Obama has been.

This one is HUGE. Today, in Colorado, McCain nearly explicitly says that the Iraq War was because of OIL.

Here's what he said:

"My friends, I will have an energy policy that we will be talking about, which will eliminate our dependence on oil from the Middle East that will - that will then prevent us - that will prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East."

Here's the link to the CNN coverage of the event:

Of course, this article is the complete garbage, and Clinton, who is still in the race and, obviously, indends to 'eat'Obama and then McCain is even much more of stinken garbage and s--t, than this article. But the entire media is right now marching under these dirty commands. Stephanopolis and Gibson, especially the foirst one behaved like garbage also during the debate. But, once again, what is possible to do? Voters of Indiana and NC the country is looking at you now. Ruin this disastrous creature, please!

Pleeezzz Chris Cillizza get a life.

This article is garbage. It pretty much sums up what passes for "political reporting" in America's news media: Who screwed up today? Who said the wrong thing? Who "blasted" or "mocked" or "attacked" whom? No substance, no issues, just an intense focus on irrelevancies.

Again, this is the kind of superficial commentary we can expect from the national media/press. The Wright controversy was not a "gaffe" but a reflection of the "two Americas" we live in, with Barack stradling between the two. His Philadelphia speech is a masterful, historical informed, and sophistocated response to the racism endemic in the US. Maybe you should read it fully, ponder it's message, and have something more serious to write about.

You know what? I'm tired of reporting about "gaffes". Issues PLEASE. You're better than this, Washington Post. Poverty, global warming, two wars in the Middle East, but we get this. What I really wanted to do was unleash a string of cuss words, which is what this deserves.

No one is putting a gun to your head and making you read or post here. This is a political blog, written by a very smart open minded person, if you do not like it go else where. After hearing the same old crap 24/7 it's a nice change to blog about something else, like Chris did last week with the Comedy Central post.

The truth is that outside of political junkies like us who troll the blogs, most people in the world, let alone here, have a ten minute attention span. That is why the Wright story played so well. If you have some desire to 'curse' out of frustration, do so at those who are in office, they have earned it.

" Clinton's newly opened local campaign office for Lane County, located across the street from Club 1444 (a "gentlemen's club"), a 60-day loan shop and a panaderia on Main Street."

Oh please, Caryle. Woopdeedoo. Spare us the shock and outrage. Just about every street in Springfield OR has one of those businesses. Just ask MikeB, he lives near there. Would you be happier if their campaign rented a building right under the plumes from Weyerhauser paper mill?

My advice- go and listen to each of them when they come to town instead of pointing at this absurd notion of where their campaign rented a building as if it has some underlying meaning.

Your free paper is worth about as much as you paid for it, it seems.

The betrayal of the democratic party gaffes.

Who knew Pelosi, Kennedy, Kerry, Rockerfeller, Dodd, Richardson, McCaskill and the so called new progressives, reich, and the cast of judases who were conning the faithful democrat voters who supported these frauds.

While certainly betrayal is a gaffe in poor taste, one can only see them as part of the collosal failure of our economy and country over the 40 years.

Thanks guys and gals, it was a mastreful acting job but time is up for you.

The original Mickey Cantor video has been removed from Youtube, but you can still see it here, at the 4.30 minute mark where he calls the voters from Indiana something very unpleasant. Nice guy eh?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_wKOgMNs0U

#1 for me... location.... When we think of the candidates for the Democratic Party, I found it a little amusing and disturbing at where some have positioned their Lane County headquarters. Here is how our local free weekly paper, Eugene Weekly, described their locations.
"It's not just candidates coming through town for a quick speech anymore; the presidential campaigns have come to Eugene and they're setting up shop. Just across from Kinko's on Willamette lies Barack Obama's new headquarters. And Springfield is the home for Hillary Clinton's newly opened local campaign office for Lane County, located across the street from Club 1444 (a "gentlemen's club"), a 60-day loan shop and a panaderia on Main Street.
I hope that it will get some to pause and to think of the two of these candidates on the more obscure issues. For myself I ask, "Why would a women that is running to be the 1st "women" POTUS have her county headquarters in such a location? Living in this area I know of much more suitable locations that would not stare at the belittling of women by being next to a strip club."
I am a 40ish mixed ethnical background, blonde hair blue eyes woman, guess who has my vote!

"the Guam natives are "Chamorros" (sp?) and non-natives are Guamanians"

Aha! Another gaffe uncovered by super sleuth mnteng!

Clinton and Obama had better watch out, they're pandering to the wrong people.

As to all you complainers about this thread....Sheesh! CC's on holiday for Pete's sake. Give the guy a break.

Laissez Le Bon Temp Roulet, CC!

I still agree with "7-10" that "...punished with a baby..." out of BHO's mouth is deadly and should be on the list.

I still think "sniper" is #1 - someone here called it a "braggart's lie" and that does not go down well.

The "100 years" is twisted out of context, but McC is forced to answer it by playing the whole response, which is not helpful for him among the many folks who do not want U.S. troops in Iraq, even in relative safety. So it remains on the list.

You know what? I'm tired of reporting about "gaffes". Issues PLEASE. You're better than this, Washington Post. Poverty, global warming, two wars in the Middle East, but we get this. What I really wanted to do was unleash a string of cuss words, which is what this deserves.

Guam?

Isn't that where Jack Abramoff and the Repukes, including Tom Delay, looked the other way while crooks engaged in sex slavery and forced abortions?

They even had a US attorney transferred away because he was starting to bust their crooked pals.

The Republican Party...supporting sex slavery and forced abortions on Guam!!

This should be called the "Top Ten Stupid Distractions From The Real Issues This Election".

The corporate wh0res in the mainstream media, including WaPo, have replace serious talk about serious issues with GARBAGE!!

There is only ONE of these that actually touches on a real issue. McLame saying he would keep us in Iraq for 100 years.

That should be enough to disqualify him from consideration by any voter with an IQ over 60.

proud:

Funny you should mention that. Colbert had the Guam Delegate on recently. She said the Guam natives are "Chamorros" (sp?) and non-natives are Guamanians.

Ah, the useless information you can pick up by watching late night television.

A possible number 11 would be when Edwards was taped primping his hair in front of a mirror and it was revealed that he spent $400 to get his hair cut. It contradicted his attempts to portray himself as the blue-collar candidate and I don't think he ever recovered.

Wright is Right. Racism is no GAFFE or Controgaffe... it is just what racist white males want to exist.

A lot of human beings carry a heavy conscience/sub-conscience about the acts of governments against innocent civilians such as blowing them up with atomic, nuclear, or smart bombs. Granted there are those who see a clear distinction between a non-governmental entity bombing an American civilian building in an act of terror and an American Governmental action of bombing Japanese civilian homes, churches, and buildings in an act of war the main distinction being that the American Government is always right and just in her actions while everyone outside of American Government and her sphere of innocent (usualy only white judeo-christian) citizens is not worthy of being placed in the same light as an American (white judeo-christian) citizen outside lip service to the sanctity of life.

If only American supremacists can be elected president, there will be no change in the way America will be viewed by the rest of the world. Obama bias towards the acceptance of judeo-christian white supremacy is similar to Clarence Thomas: they start with the premises that there is shame in criticizing or advocating against white racism and that judeo-christian white supremacy is the norm which all other cultures of people must adjust and conform to.

Armageddon is probably when non-white people who make up the majority of the world being destroyed by judeo-christian techno-exploitative-economics and polluting extinctionist policies stop looking the other way and hoping that Jesus will get you fugnuts under control.

may the farce be with us

Question: What's different between item #1 and the other nine items on that list?

Answer: Items 10 - 2 are all things that the candidates PERSONALLY did or said. While the Rev. Wright incident is something that Rev. Wright said and Obama had no control over. Why aren't the other candidates held to account for things said by their won "spiritual advisors"... Hagee calls the Catholic Church the anti-christ and yet McCain isn't held responsible for those words even though he actively sought and accepted Hagee's endorsement. Jesse Jackson advises the Clintons... he's called New York City "hymietown", why aren't Clinton's respnosible for those words? Robertson and Falwell blamed 9/11 on Jews and homosexuals, I don't see impeachment proceedings started against Bush. If we were all held accountable for the actions of people we know we would ALL be in prison! Yeah, maybe Wright is a nut job, but he's not running for president.

The way Congress now works [although it may be how it has always worked, I am just not THAT OLD] the Farm Bill and the Highway Bill and the Defense Appropriations Bill get loaded with Pork. I single them out because they get a heavier load of pork in absolute, and I believe in relative, terms as well, then other spending.

So I agree with McC that these are ripe for veto and he has guts saying so about the Farm Bill in IA.

I would hope he would actually have at hand the kind of Bureau of Budget streamlining for all three bills to use as a lever to get Congress on a diet, rather than succumbing to the politically expedient failure to pose any alternative. I believe all three measures do possess a core of actual responsible spending, and McC has proven capable of finding and reducing waste in the Defense Appropriations in the past.

You forgot my personal favorite: "Macaca". One word took a viable candidate completely out. Impressive.

YEAH, let's celebrate the fact that our media are obsessed with trivialities!

Oh, and let's also celebrate the fact that the media are trying to foster the image that the race for the Democratic nomination is still up in the air, all so the media can continue to earn those mondo ratings.

So grateful for all the hard work!

McCain tells Iowans he would veto farm bill over subsidies

Some things never change: Republican John McCain dislikes farm subsidies. "I have to give you a little straight talk about the farm bill that is wending its way through Congress," McCain said Thursday at the Polk County Convention Center.

"I do not support it. I would veto it," he said. "I would do that because I believe that the subsidies are unnecessary."

After 14 months if you don't know the issues you are an idiot. We are all sick of this campaign and the MSM, including the WaPo, is just spinning it's wheels. By the way, why post on the blog if you are only into issues?

Interestingly, in the numbers I have seen (don't know specifically about PA), black woman are trending to support Obama even more than black men. One would think that with competing gender and black experiences for black women, that would not be the case. In any case, 90%+ support from any demographic is astounding. I think you are correct when you talk about an extreme hair split. You can't really separate the two, IMO.

I'm not surprised that women are supporting race over gender. Look how black women do the same in the arts, in books and films like Stella got her grove, a strong smart black woman will throw all to the wind for a sexy smart black man. The only difference is Obama is not a gay closet case.

So much for The Washington Post being a standard barer of quality journalism.

What a stupid piece. Haven't we heard enough of this cr*p.

How about you go off the deep end and discuss were the candidates stand on teh issues that are actually going to shape our country's future.

More news from the wacky Dem nomination cage fight:

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama pitched improved health care and economic opportunity as they courted Guam voters from afar for the territory's Democratic presidential caucuses Saturday.

Both Clinton and Obama say they've got the better health plan for Guamanians.

(Is it "Guamanians, or Guamians. Guamites?)

bsimon - "Would you agree that the same can be said of female supporters of Senator Clinton, though possibly to a lesser degree?"

Anecdotally one hears that but the numbers don't support it anywhere near as much (I would phrase it as "marginally"). Interestingly, in the numbers I have seen (don't know specifically about PA), black woman are trending to support Obama even more than black men. One would think that with competing gender and black experiences for black women, that would not be the case. In any case, 90%+ support from any demographic is astounding. I think you are correct when you talk about an extreme hair split. You can't really separate the two, IMO.

I'm not talking about people in general. I'm talking about the Obama campaign. This isn't limited to Obama himself. Any of his top guys will do. And some actual words would be nice. Slamming someone for being ignorant (Ferraro) is very different than slamming someone for being racist. That's why I'm asking for something resembling a quote. So for the purposes of this exercise, a "whisper" campaign isn't all that helpful

And I heard the Philly speech. No one was accused of racism in it. Of course, if I'm wrong about that, feel free to provide a quote.

Must Visit !! Look for the truth about the candidates

Response to DDAWD

You can not be serious - if anyone brings up race, they get attacked -

after South Carolina, the started the whisper campaign against Bill Clinton

How about the whole Ferraro situation - no one thinks she is a racist - she gave her opinion, which was similar to Mrs. Edwards - however the Obama campaign jumped all over her.

DDawd you think people in this country are stupid ?? You think that they haven't seen what the Obama campaign has done???

The whole equating Rev. Wright with Obama's grandmother, and the "Typical White Person"

The Philadelphia speech - I suggest you read it. Think about what it says to the White Community and what it says to the Black Community.

Just curious. So many people have accused Obama and his campaign of playing the race card. Can anyone give me some evidence of this? A loose quote or something? Anything?

Obama's Philadelphia Speech was the biggest gaffe of the campaign - wrong response - wrong idea.

The context.

Obama is running for President of all the people - that Philadelphia speech had no place in a campaign that was meant for all the people of this country.

Chris Matthews is completely out of his mind.

I like Chris Matthews, I want good things for him, I'm sure he makes a fortune talking the way he talks - however that speech should not be in schools. It should not be required reading for first graders. This is wacky wacky wacky stuff that the Obama people are saying.

It's true.

right brain/left brain - so let me ask you Rev. Wright how does that affect Obama ????

The thing is Rev. Wright is pretty white - the guy looks 7/8 white - Obama is half white

Well as a snapshot of today, but a real gaffe takes much more effort than a slip of the toungue or a foot in the mouth.

Quick Quiz: Who said this when:

"Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom demonstrated to the world what we saw just 12 years ago. We went to war as the most combat-ready force in the world. The value of that readiness is clear. We won a massive victory in a few weeks, and we did so with very limited loss of American and allied lives. We were able to end aggression with minimum overall loss of life, and we were even able to greatly reduce the civilian casualties of Afghani and Iraqi citizens. "

A: John McCain's 'Mission Accomplished' speech, 2003

JEREMIAH WAS A BULLFROG

Lots of interesting stuff over at Rasmussen today.

58% of voters say that Barack Obama threw Jeremiah Wright under the bus out of political convenience. Only 30% of likely voters say he did so because he was truly outraged.

Although I am typically loath to offer I-told-you-so's, I just can't resist taking a swing at this hanging curve of an opportunity. I said after his Tuesday presser that Obama hit the wrong tone. He was diffident and measured when he needed to be feisty and angry. If he was going to say he was outraged, he had to show a little outrage.

Now, it may be the case that Obama eschewed outrage because he's a preternaturally cool individual and just doesn't have outrage in him. Such a quality would be a decided mixed blessing in a president. After the next 9/11, I would like a president to actually be capable of outrage, although I wouldn't want him to be blinded by it.

That said, the most likely scenario is that Tuesday's presser was a farce and Obama just couldn't commit to doing what had to be done. After 20 years of attending Wright's church, Obama's probably long since lost any ability he might have once had to be outraged by Wright's antics.

Anyway, the bottom line is that this poll suggests that the public viewed Obama as a typical self-interested politician this week. If that continues, his campaign narrative will fall apart.

"Democrat after Democrat says that there are few real policy differences between Obama and Clinton... I do think they are voting for him partly because he is black, whether they admit to it or not."

Would you agree that the same can be said of female supporters of Senator Clinton, though possibly to a lesser degree?

On the flip side, is it possible that Obama's black support doesn't come from him being black, explicitly, but because, as a black man, he can relate to the black experience in a way that no white person can? I know that reads like an extreme hair split, but the same is true for the gender comparison.

Martin Edwin Andersen - "ABCNEWS has offered to air a 'town hall' meeting with Hillary Clinton -- to be hosted by former Clinton staffer George Stephanopoulos!...Obama is scheduled to appear on NBC'S MEET THE PRESS, where he is expected to receive a traditional grilling by host Tim Russert."

Did you miss Hillary voluntarily go on FOX and O'Reilly? The fact that Steph worked for Clinton's husband for a couple years over ten years ago means squat - there is bias in all people. It's not like the candidates pick straws on who gets to appear where. They go to the existing media outlets of their choice. Russert is a former Democratic operative, should McCain supporters feel like it's unfair that ABC and NBC are "friendly" venues for Dems? Just stop whining already.

Everyone please take note James T Kirk of the Starship Enterprise has just endorsed Obama.

Obamaniacs on Planet O are celebrating before they go to Looptopia.

Huckabee's popcorn maker was not gaffe - he got a great of votes from that story !!!

I would like to ask that everyone read Obama's speech in Philadelphia again - or for the first time.

It really gives you an idea of what Obama is thinking.

Seriously folks, Obama is not running to represent the white people of this country.

He wants a dialogue, but what kind of dialogue ???

If someone is stupid enough to expect a sane conversation from an Obama person, an objective conversation might end with charges of racism - whether the intention was racist or not.

Clearly, the baggage of the past, is just that.

Obama has a great deal of baggage.

Has anyone read Obama's first book? He spends the first half saying how bad he felt about discrimination.

This guy is not post-racial.

He is caught up in racial hatred. The Philadelphia speech, Black Liberation Theology, "typical white person", "bitter" "so they cling to their guns and religion"

Has anyone had enough ????

Yea, the worst is saying your own grandmother is cautious walking down the street when three black men approach - saying she is wrong to react like a "typical white person."

The woman is afraid of getting mugged and Obama is attempting to say she should not react.

Out of touch?? yea with reality? yea.

Good job Dems!!

Obama '08! Forward we go!

Thank you Mr. Kirk for your endorsement today =)!

The nod to all. Have a wonderful afternoon. No negativity.

gbooksdc - "This "blacks are racist in supporting Obama" subtext is just part of the Clinton campaign's effort to marginalize Obama as a black candidate, a Jesse Jackson for our time."

93% support is support way beyond just similar political philosophy. There are dictators running unopposed that don't get those kinds of numbers. I know that exit polling consistently says that blacks are not voting for Obama because he is black and that color is not important to them when they are choosing their candidate. But I think the polls are wrong on this one. Democrat after Democrat says that there are few real policy differences between Obama and Clinton (although I concur that Obama is more liberal). If that is in fact the case, then the actions of the 93% say a lot more than the words of the exit polls. That does not mean I think that the blacks voting for Obama are racist, but I do think they are voting for him partly because he is black, whether they admit to it or not.

Can someone remind me how the Obama campaign played the race card?

How about Hucakbee's appeal to southern voters with this:

"When we were in college we used to take a popcorn popper -- because that was the only thing they would let us have in the dorms -- and fry squirrels in the popcorn popper."

fried squirrel...yummy!!

Yea P Diddy the oppression of the white man - if they aren't at a job not exercising their freedom of speech - well that means their opinion isnt worth anything

P Diddy, the white man is oppressing everyone....

Or the oft forgotten Obama early primary gaffe:

"In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died -- an entire town destroyed." --on a Kansas tornado that killed 12 people

snObama: "Come on! I just answered, like, eight questions."

Go ahead, that was the speech in Detroit

The one before the National Press Club

There was too much stuff in there, from Crazy Uncle Sentences......

another classic from Hillary:

"I'm not going to have some reporters pawing through our papers. We are the president."

K Morgan is right, the posters on these blogs are all college kids or people without real jobs who can spend their days reading and responding to other idiots posts instead of doing something important or meaningful with their lives.

And who could forget Hillary's statement:

"The question is, we face a lot of dangers in the world and, in the gentleman's words, we face a lot of evil men. And what in my background equips me to deal with evil and bad men?" cackle, cackle

In fact, I think The Cackle needs it's very own Line #.

Chris is right, but why is Rev Wright so enthralled in this election? Yes, he is a nut. Yes, he was the pastor of Trinity. But no, he's not Obama. And no, Barack Obama is not the narrow minded, hateful, buffon that Wright has proven himself to be. I sincerely hope that this country has grown enough to know that we don't agree with everyone we know and associate with!
It's insane to saddle Obama with every utterance from Wright or Ghandi or King or anybody else. Let's judge the man on his record and deeds.

Here's another one:

What about Mitt Romney who "saw" his father march with Martin Luther King? Even though there was lots of evidence of this beforehand, that gaffe really cemented Romney as a flip-flopping pol with verbal gymnastics.

"typical white person" will not be forgotten. If he steals the election just because he's a black guy, believe me, it will come back to haunt him and haunt us all.

DISPATCHES FROM THE GROUND WAR...

DRUDGE IS REPORTING A REAL "FIX"--EX-CLINTON SHILL STEPHANOPOULOS TO HOST HILLARY "TOWN HALL"(APPARENTLY HE DID NOT HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO FULLY PUT HIS POLITICAL BIASES ON PARADE DURING THE PHILADELPHIA DEBATE, OR DID HE?) ...

HILLARY 'TOWN HALL' TO BE HOSTED BY EX-CLINTON STAFFER STEPHANOPOULOS
Thu May 01 2008 17:25:20 ET

Just hours before the Indiana and North Carolina presidential primaries, ABCNEWS has offered to air a 'town hall' meeting with Hillary Clinton -- to be hosted by former Clinton staffer George Stephanopoulos!

Embracing and racing through a brave new era of journalism, it is not clear if ABCNEWS will inform viewers of Stephanopoulos's past employment.

Stephanopoulos helped run Mr. Clinton's first presidential election campaign and acted as his press secretary and advisor on policy and strategy before joining ABC NEWS.

An executive at a rival network mocked, "We look forward to ABC holding the next town hall meeting with President Bush, hosted by Karl Rove!"

ABC will air the hour-long Hillary forum live from Indianapolis on Sunday.

"George has interviewed all the candidates time and time again and has put tough but fair questions to each," said a network spokesman. "Expect the same on Sunday."

The network hit controversy last month over the decision to allow Bill Clinton's former press secretary to moderate a debate between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama -- without any disclaimer.

Obama is scheduled to appear on NBC'S MEET THE PRESS, where he is expected to receive a traditional grilling by host Tim Russert.

Developing...

"This is a breaking story." no its a 16 year old story that Axelrod and his supporters are here promoting as part of their We Are Above Politics tour.

Is your pushing of this story what was meant by rejecting politics as usual and what was meant when we heard that this is what you call a New Brand of Politics?
"Yet, despite the simple and overwhelming pressure to do anything and everything to win, Barack Obama has risen above it all and demanded a new brand of politics."
What a joke, tell that nonsense to his campaign staff.

"they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiments, or anti-trade sentiments out of some sense of frustration" has got to be at least #2 on the Line.

This gaffe was the most egregious and the most damaging, IMHO.

And the "Coat" comment #9? I don't even remember the coat comment. It should be replaced by Obama's comment in a debate
"I guess you're likable enough, Hillary".

And, what about Hillary's "willing suspension of disbelief". That's a classic.

I'd say you're missing the number one gaffe of the campaign. All of those trend seeking new voters who pushed the button for Obama before they had any sense of the person behind the rhetoric. They've left the Democratic party with an irreversibly damaged candidate running slightly ahead and no way of removing him without his die-hard, drama queen supporters crying racism.

I have been reading the posts here and WOW I can see the charge that when the Obama people have nothing to say they play the race card.

Is that really what happened in this campaign???

Obama is not the post-racial candidate - he is too tainted by the multitude of questions surrounding him, not Rev. Wright.

I seriously do not understand the point of the Obama people who are so caught up in the race to realize that they are acting against the central theme of their campaign.

I guess it started with the Obama campaign its
