now this is interesting. new political like thread. li

"McCain has been rabble-rousing, calling Obama a terrorist and a Muslim."

O RLY?
Statements likes, on both ends, make me sad. You care enough about a politician to put up an protest effigy for Halloween and declare yourself a "big supporter," but you don't care enough to actually look up any facts? Boo.

I'm sure you can appreciate, however, that looking up details is not in the best interest of Obama supporters in this instance. Racism is offensive, so if they can continue to reframe the election from "who would be the better President" to "all McCain supporters are racist bigots," it helps them with undecided voters. No one wants to be racist bigots, so as long as the HopeChange Youth Army can continue to act like there's this racist oligarchy out there in the McCain camp, it helps them, even though you and I, as reasonable people know that John McCain isn't racist.
what are we going to talk about after the elections? i think rachael ray has a new dog food.

I have 13 Julian's America articles already written and ready to go as soon as this board starts to go through politics withdrawal and needs a quick fix of the sweet, sweet lifestyle reviews I offer.

i was wondering what happened, mr. leach.
Agreed, but I'm sure you can appreciate the reverse, where bringing to light that Obama is not Arab and is not a Muslim is not in the best interest of McCain supports.

i think this board needs some of those NOW. forget about future withdrawal, we're currently having a bad trip. a little dose o'julian's america might be exactly what we need.
This made me laugh harder than it probably should have.

can you just write one in depth "i hate obama, blah blah blah" rant and paste it in every thread? it should save everyone time, especially yourself. :)

reasonable people, heh.

I can agree to that, as long as you'd also agree that McCain has went out of his way recently to make clear that he doesn't think Obama is either Arabic or Muslim.
Thanks for starting this one Walkonby. Had you not, I would've completely missed reading the Beastie Boy fiasco, garnering valuable insight.

Somebody must've got up on the wrong side of the bed today. Glad it wasn't me.

Kudos to Kosmo for always trying to keep this rollercoaster on track.
I agree, and it's incredibly noble of him. But then again:

"The Obama campaign said that Obama "does not believe that John McCain or any policy criticism is in any way comparable to George Wallace or his segregationist policies" but said Lewis was "right to condemn some of the hateful rhetoric….Some McCain supporters have yelled "treason," "kill him" and "terrorist" at recent campaign events."

All I'm saying is that idiots lie on both sides of the debate, and it's not really fair to either candidate, or the country at large, to have any of this factor in.

so the real question is: was obama born in this country or in kenya? arnold wants to know.

Well, I can concur with that gesture. Would it also be fair to surmise that you'd also agree that you're a complete son of a bitch bastard?
