here is the link to the video just incase anybody wants to see it, because they are not going to show it on the news.

Olbermann might show it... that's about it...

But there IS a glimmer of hope on HuffPo today - list of MediaCorp stories that speak the truth.

Off topic! Randi just used my Number One Favorite Godfather quote !!!

Oh geesh, MSNBC has a poll on this right now - Did Obama go too far with his lipstick on a pig comment - 34% say Yes.

34%! These are the people who are not paying attention, don't give a shit, or are just too stupid to be allowed to vote.

34% of 146608 people.
That's why I just went and voted no.

Thank you for the classic democratic position, keep those inferior people from voting so those that know what's right can be in charge. (This was the democratic defense of slavery too.)

I have no idea what you're accusing me of. I'm for slavery? I want to keep people voting like the republicans have been doing with their clever little voting machines and voter list purging? Sheesh.

I'm frustrated that rather than taking the time to educate themselves on what Obama said, people listened only to the McCain attack ad. There seems to be a significant number of people who do this. It's easy, and doesn't require any thinking or effort. And yes, if these people are going to vote based only upon sound bites and talking points, then I would rather they didn't vote. I don't care what side they are on.

I hit it too, and guess what? Now it's down to 33%.

One person CAN make a difference ! Woo-hoo!

Actually, I would not phrase it as "people who are too stupid to vote" but as "people who are too stupid to live".

And before you chime in with the usual sheeple whine: Yes. I AM the judge and jury.

You're comparing the Democratic Party of today with the Antebellum version of the Democratic Party? Sorry, that doesn't wash. The two parties have almost completely reversed since those days. The old Dixiecrats, the heart of the old party, are now all Republicans. (With a few holdouts like Zell Miller.

I posted most of this at the Obama video.

There are only 2 things that makes McCain/Palin viable candidates in this election.

1. Marketing (it's gotten very effective and you can really zoom in on your demographic and get results. If you know what you're doing, you can sell ice to a well-educated person in Alaska).

2. Corporate Media (our media likes sensational headlines, not to mention access to the WH in order to be credible, and both come when they give more positive press to republicans. Then there are those nifty corporate tax breaks republicans like to give out. If they questioned the nonsense that comes out of Bush's WH, we'd be in much better shape as a country today. But they don't.)

And this is why McCain's campaign peddles this garbage in the first place - they CAN'T discuss issues. They'd lose. No one in their right mind who knew the facts would want McCain and Palin's policies in DC, our country would sink like a rock into third world oblivion. Even republicans, if they knew the truth, would vote Obama.

So this is all they've got.

Yeah, I thought about saying "too stupid to live", but thought that was kinda harsh.

Me too. And it pisses me off how they worded it:

"No, this is just part of the rough-and-tumble of political campaigning."

It SHOULD have been more like:

"No, he was just using a common old saying."

This is Politics.The Big Leagues. And since when did the repugs become such a bunch of whiny candy-asses, anyway?


Today's Aggressive Progressives: Not Your Grampy's Liberals

I hit it too. It is still at 33% yes and 66% No.

2 to 1 works for me!

Agreed. Kind of makes you wonder what the wording of the polling is that makes the race look closer than it probably is.
"Would you vote for John McCain, a former POW or would you vote for Barack HUSSEIN Obama, African-American that had a Muslim father?"

They've always been candy-asses. The formula that works for them is playing the victim.

Hell yeah!

Or are all related to Palin and her nutso church. Look I am writing in tongues.

Jim - you made my day with that one ! THX!

The BBC world service is reporting the story as if it is real.
I can't believe that even the BBC has become a neocon propaganda outlet.

You can make your opinion known here.

They call themselves "Republicans", now. They have, ever since Civil Rights legislations of the 60s was passed.

Where do you conservatives get your history from, the Howdy Doody show?

Conservatives were and are pro-slavery, pro-segregation and anti-Black. Doesn't matter what letter is or was after their name.

I like "too stupid to breed".

here is mccain using the same line against hillary a few months ago... i think john stewart is right, every morning the men in black go and erase all republicans memories with those light buzzer things...

Just following the lead of democrats.

Jim you are stupid, that was HILARIOUS!!!!

He may be stupid, but he's the one that's going to Disney Shangri-La come rapture time.

"Democrats" aren't doing that.

And even so, why are so many conservatives followers.

I'm not going. RaptureLand is apparently going to be filled with drooling morons.

The planet will be glad to be rid of them.

I've already decided to give up on the mainstream media. Lately I've been watching election coverage from the BBC. I find it much MUCH better. In fact, today they're beginning their US08 bus trip across the country and interviewing average americans to see what they believe the issues really are. The first story was really good - about a small business worker who's going bust. Then just after they had their Washington correspondent on with the anchor. Here's a quote of one of the observations he made regarding the big deal the Republicans made about the pig/lipstick comment:

"It's quite extraordinary that the party that prides itself on red meat, red neck and macho rhetoric is hanging the accusation of sexism around the only candidate in this race who seems to be in touch with his inner woman and that's Barak Obama."

Then the correspondent answered with:

"Every minute we're talking about cosmetics and barnyard animals is a minute we're not talking about the issues that are important to the American people."

It was both refreshing and sad. Refreshing that there are still media outlets in America that still believe in journalism and sad that I'm relying on the British for my news now.

No, no..... He'll be going to Holyland.... the recently-built Christian theme park just down the highway from Disney World in Orlando, FL. Disney is too gay remember?

Palin isn't the pig, the repubecan policies are the pig.
Tax breaks for millionaires is the pig.
Voting against the GI bill is the pig.
The unnecessary war is the pig.
Tax credits for oil companies is the pig.
Voting against the minimum wage is the pig.
Election fraud is the pig.
Lies are the pig.
Vote caging is the pig.
Torture is the pig.
Guantanimo is the pig.
Drill instead of alternative energy is the pig.
Lobbyists are the pig.
Earmarks are hte pig.
Carl Rove is the pig.

Excellent response - too much manufactured 'outrage' from the pawns of the right wing.

Our best hope is that America won't fall for it again.

It is impossible that people who actually looked at Obama's comments would ever think he went over the line.

I can't believe this stories has "legs". What is wrong with your media? Didn't Palin call all hockey moms including herself bitches by equating them to pitbulls??? Why was there no outrage then? For some reason media moguls in the US want McCain Palin to win if this story is getting so much coverage.

You'd think the pit bulls would object!

I love this exchange with Letterman. SO funny and candid.

McCain/Palin = Bush/Cheney with lipstick
