The fake flag-pin gate.

Obama's official looking fake Presidential Seal... four month before the election.

[mathme]

Yeah, that one came back to bite him!

[BillMelater]

These are the types of things McCain/Palin should have harped on. Obama can't even bowl, not he's a terrorist.

LOL

I thought the Paris Hilton thing was priceless and I'm an old fogey.

As funny as it was seeing Hillary Clinton downing shots, the highlight for me was watching Senator Obama's spokesperson Robert Gibbs take on Sean Hannity.

To quote the late great Phil Hartman, "Good times..."

Wowo, Kutkreata, I'm kinda shocked here. Your lifelong time Repubfriend was livid over the Wardrobegate?
As a Dem, I thought it was just a lil thingy there,more likely to bring Repubs together "against the attacks". Wow. I had no idea that it mattered for some peoples. Didn't matter to me at all, all that came out of her mouth mattered so much more! Wow again!
If she was smart and savvy, I would've forgiven 10 times more money on her wardrobe, really!

Morning Joe gotta go. Bring back reruns of the Three Stooges

[iheardthisbefore]

Aw shoot.....all this time I thought I WAS watching the three stooges.....
Damn.....

[KindMisica]

Obama Girl , ridiculous or not, she got some votes there. Indirectly. I think I first heard of her before I ever watched Obama make a speech, seems like a long time now. I'm not a guy, but I heard of her on TV being a "hit" on youtube so I went to check what was all the buzz about. Then i saw him multiple times fighting with Hilarry...then I got to like him...then­....figure out.

My friend Nicole who is a lifelong Republican went to the polls early in Texas to vote for Barack Obama primarily because of "Wardrobegate". I had been telling her for weeks about how Sarah Palin was wrong for women, had sent her e-mail upon e-mail, but last Saturday, she called me furious because she said that one of the items that the RNC had bought for Sarah was a 30,000 jacket. She was livid. I think that "Wardrobegate" was more important than MSNBC thinks it was. lol.

Hey, don’t knock the Obama Girl…

Palin Blamed by the US Secret Service for Death Threats Against Barack Obama:


Very interesting article: A MUST READ

In addition Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh should be also included.

[pir anha]

look, it's an interesting article, but stop spamming it already! say something relevant to the article and put the link in your signature if you must, but posting the identical message over and over is really annoying.

[herovetnam]

I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE READERS THAT ARE LOG ON OR READ THESE POSTS FOR HELP. I PLAN (AND AM ASKING FOR YOUR HELP) TO SEND E-MAILS OR LETTERS TO THE SPONSORS OF RUSH LIMBAUGH PROTESTING OR BOYCOTTING THEM. "RUSH" IS A BLIGHT ON AMERICA AND THE MEDIA. HE IS DANGEROUS TO CIVIL DISCOURSE.

[AnalyzeIT]

Rush will be dealt with in due course. Believe me.

[Gidster]

His right to free speech are protected, so whatever hate and blatant stupidity he spews is protected.
Let the stations know that you will no longer buy their goods.

Hit them in the money!

[b93950]

Ruch is suffering from drug-induced, fried brains!

[concernvoter]

It was stated yesterday on MSNBC that "Joe the Plumber" has been on welfare twice. I know he wished that he would have kept his mouth closed.

[norkas]

Morning Joe is a elitist that speaks in terms of they when speaking of us. Then he puts all people in one pot and spouts out his anger.

Joe is NOT fair and balanced and often does not tell the complete story.

Joe has had hate and anger for Barak Obama from day one and he will loose allot of his viewers over time because of his hate and contempt for others.

I belive Joe will never be fiar and balanced and i have no problem with other shows that let you know where they stand ahead of time but Morning Joe is a disguise for a very frustrated consertive Republican that thinks all of his viewers are stupid and he is the King speaking to the dummies.

Giving credit where its due, Paris Hilton's ad response to "celebrity" slam was intelligent, funny, in good taste and highly relevant. Should be replaced on list by Mika's unceasing, fawning, google eyed girl crush for the Governor

Obama Girl's video, for all its camp, helped to engage young voters. It spawned a rash of knock offs, but I think Willie really might want to rethink this categorization. Maybe he's just salty because his man didn't get elected, but that video was HUGE. Look at all those kids in Grant Park, engaged in the political process and aware of the significance of President Elect Obama's election.

Willie's clueless.
