If you are having your 4 year old browse the internet by your side I'm sure that isn't the scariest thing he has seen/will see. posted 04/15/2008 at 17:16:09

well, I suppose it's better to get caught stealing recipes from the Food Network than it is to get caught stealing painkillers from the medical charity you founded...

And they say Obama has electability issues. Imagine if Michelle had been busted for theft of a controlled substance. Wait until the "I'm not bitter" voters hear about Cindy and John's storybook love story. The brave prince divorces the ugly, disfigured witch (who raised their two children while he was a POW in Vietnam and she was recovering from a car wreck) and marries the prettier, younger beer princess, and they both live happily ever after. Until the princess becomes a junkie and has to go to rehab and the prince starts calling her a "c--t" in front of the press. posted 04/15/2008 at 02:19:56

Oh and also...

It is sickening to watch the Clinton fans try to pretend that they don't agree with Obama's comments. If you're a Republican or a small-town PA voter that's one thing, but I would suspect that at the very least around 90% of Clinton supporters would be fervently defending these words if they had come out of Clinton's mouth. posted 04/12/2008 at 18:35:18

It seems that the only truly unforgivable sin in American politics is for a black man to speak the truth about poor white people in front of rich white people. How depressing. posted 04/12/2008 at 18:33:15

Take a look at the general polls. You are going to have to do a little better than Wright if you want to put a dent in those numbers. posted 04/10/2008 at 16:31:33

Hear hear--I can't count how many times I've thought that same thing. Every time someone accuses Obama of being "arrogant" or trying to cut in line--or especially when someone makes the argument that Clinton is pissed because she's the woman with more experience having to step aside and let the younger black guy take the promotion--I can't help but think "if this were 80 years ago they wouldn't be mincing their words--they'd be calling him an 'uppity n***.'

This article is utter garbage. The snarky, snot-nosed tone and the heavy reliance on questionable interpretation of carefully hand-picked quotes and nit-picky observation of the minutae of Obama's mode of speech--"Ooooh, look at his pronouns!!!"--indicate that there is a greater point Fowler is trying to make, but she is too afraid/hesitant to come out and say it openly. posted 04/07/2008 at 13:04:03

Oops--those stats are for white Democrats, not Democrats in general posted 03/28/2008 at 14:32:50

Pew Research center polling reveals that Democrats who have unfavorable opinions of Obama are...

More likely to say that equal rights for minorities have been "pushed too far" (19% of those with a favorable opinion of him vs 45% of those who have an unfavorable opinion)

More likely to disapprove of "interracial dating" (8% vs 28%)

More likely to say that immigrants "threaten our traditional values" (31% vs 48%)

More likely to say that we should fight for the US "whether it is right or wrong" (48% to 61%)

More likely to say that men make better leaders than women (12% to 24%)

Aaaaaaannnddd....

MUCH more likely to believe that Obama is a Muslim (5% to 23%)

Remind me again why we are taking these people so seriously? A good number of them are DINO and will vote for McCain in the general whether it's Clinton or Obama. The rabid Obama Haters who are flooding many websites have a large amount of conservatives within their ranks, people who hate Obama for reasons totally divorced from the positions on which Democratic voters decide. The Obama hate from which she has benefited is rooted in the far-right of the Democratic party, people like Joe Lieberman and Zell Miller who for some baffling reason refer to themselves as "Democrats" yet espouse none of the beliefs that we stand for as a party. posted 03/28/2008 at 12:51:48

Didn't you hear? There is no such thing as valid criticism of Hillary Clinton. posted 03/25/2008 at 21:09:39

How about instead of talking about high school politics and "which is worse, racism or sexism" we focus on the real differences between the candidates? Like the fact that one supported the war in Iraq and the other didn't? If Obama were facing any other opponent who had voted for the war in a two-way race the nomination would have been his a long time ago. For some reason, though, HRC has gotten a free pass on this issue...must be that "in the bag for Obama" press... posted 03/25/2008 at 21:07:46

Their "sense of entitlement"? Are you kidding me? I think you're forgetting which one of the two was the overwhelming favorite--to the point where they didn't bother making up a post-Super Tuesday plan. You can construct your fantasy image of Hillary as the avenger of all the "little people" as much as you like--she still voted for the war, she still takes massive amounts of lobbyist cash, she still has Blackwater associate Mark Penn running her campaign, and she is still attempting to ignore the popular vote and the pledged delegate count by inventing more and more laughable and ridiculous ways of counting: "Hey, if you only count Arkansas, New York, and Rhode Island, Hillary's winning by over 20 percentage points! See? I told you it was a close race!"
This post is a great example of the nastiness and sanctimonious attitude that the HRC camp loves to attribute to Obama supporters but treats as a "who, me? *bats eyes*" issue when the tables are turned. I'm sure plenty of Obama's black supporters would be pretty amused to hear you characterize them as "latte liberals, rock stars, and Hollywood" as would many of the working class white voters who voted for him in droves in all the little red states you Clinton supporters like to pretend don't count. posted 03/25/2008 at 20:54:35

Rumor has it Joe Klein's daughter is a fan of group sex, but you don't see people making bad jokes about it when HE's having a bad week (like when it was revealed that he had been talking out of his ass about FISA and pretty much the entire blogosphere came crashing down on his head). posted 03/21/2008 at 12:49:36
