Why won't Obama supporters discuss the issues, (#107997)

and instead snark at comments made at a biker rally?

If I thought the next First Lady would have to compete in that contest, I would have voted for Kucinich http://archive.redstate.com/blogs/brooksrob/2007/may/06/the_case_for_kuc...

Obviously McCain's point was (#107991)

by Brooks and B Ra... on Tue, 08/05/2008 - 6:48pm

Obviously McCain's point was that Mrs. Obama could not win that contest because she would look scary to those folks since she, uh, doesn't look like the First Ladies of all the presidents on the dollar bills. Which is not to say that McCain was trying to stoke racist sentiments...but he sure was tiptoeing up that that line, not that he was doing it, but man, there was some Major League tiptoeing. I am really sick of Republicans pulling that racist crap as a campaign tactic, like McCain just did. Not that I'm saying he did. Did I mention he was tiptoeing? Also, he was real subtle.

Well Done (#108059)

I wasn't sure if was possible to shoehorn GOP talking points into just about anything. And there were bonus points left on the table for not working in tire pressure. But still. Pretty impressive.

Of course! Anything that (#108064)

by Brooks and B Ra... on Tue, 08/05/2008 - 10:36pm

Of course! Anything that anyone says about anything that happens to share the same essential underlying premise of the GOP talking points on that matter MUST be a case of someone simply parroting those GOP talking points, as opposed to a conclusion arrived at independently via critical thinking and independent judgment. You got it all figured out, man! What a simple, easy, convenient world you live in. And all it took was projection applied universally.

by Harley on Tue, 08/05/2008 - 10:39pm

The problem here is not the talking points, pathetic tho' they may be, it's injecting them into a conversation that has nothing to do with them. That's robotic and desperate. As if repeating the same thing over and over again, no matter what the context, makes it true.

Actualy the context in the instance as Harley correctly pointed (#108142)

by Spartacvs on Wed, 08/06/2008 - 10:22am

is the attempt to drive a square peg in a round hole masquerading as humor.

Aren't you the guy who tells other people they are failing to realize when something was meant as humor? Or are you demonstrating comedic irony right now?

Actually, I think to find something humorous you have to get it in the first place, which would preclude your finding my comments humorous.

By contrast, I could easily see you laughing all day at a guy slipping on a banana peel, or at a not-too-complex or abstract knock-knock joke.

why very short comments work much better here.

If you want to drive them mad, start writing diaries.

I understand you employed humor to work the talking point into the conversation. And that certainly helped. But not quite enough, IMO.

How do you find the code? (#108026)

Just curious

Go to the YouTube page hosting the video (#108036)

by Spartacvs on Tue, 08/05/2008 - 9:32pm

there should be a gray box on the upper right side with information about who posted it. The same box will contain the embed code which you can cut and paste.

By the way... (#107926)

by Wagster on Tue, 08/05/2008 - 4:43pm

Obama is always queried whenever a black person says anything impolitic about McCain (like Ludacris, for example.) What do you think are the odds that McCain will be demanded to account for Toby Keith saying Obama is "acting white"?

More Wagster!

That Toby Keith is all hat and no cattle, as they say in Texas (#107931)

by BlaiseP on Tue, 08/05/2008 - 4:57pm

Toby Keith hates the war in Iraq. He's a self-labeled Conservative Democrat, though he's as fake as a three dollar bill.

I sorta like Toby Keith. He's the real McCoy, a genuine pissed-off American, a few bricks short of a hod, but Barack Obama ought to give him a call, just to tell him he's not acting black or white, but American. Toby Keith is fundamentally a Democrat, and a few solid words from that "acting white" African American might just convince him that it's not white or black, but the red-white-n-blue and camouflage green of our troops which matter to us all.

apparently that side of aisle (#107934)

by Timmy the Wonder Dog on Tue, 08/05/2008 - 5:15pm

is where the clinton democrats reside

“People don’t realize that I’m a registered Democrat,” he says. “They automatically assume that I’m a chest-banging, war-drum-pounding Republican with my military stance.” Keith goes on to compare himself to Senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut: “a conservative Democrat who is sometimes embarrassed for his party.”
