  • NameTry2468, on 03/26/2008, -7/+19#11 : Barack Obama supporters are absolutely annihilating Hillary on the Democralypse fundraiser for Donorschoose.org.
    Check it out! They got their 100% so fast, the goal had to be moved up (only for obama's column though)!

    If that's not enough to earn Obama the Colbert bump, I don't know what is.

      On Friday, an NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll reported that 35 percent of Americans believed that it was McCain who had the right approach to the war - not giving up and not leaving Iraq to Al Qaeda and chaos - compared with 30 percent for Hillary Rodham Clinton and 27 percent for Obama.

      And Baracka Obama said in July 2004, when it looked like America was winning the war in Iraq, and long after his first announcement of opposition to it, "There's not much difference between my position and George Bush's at this stage."
      • Avngr75, on 03/27/2008, -0/+3Buried for being a complete troll, I mean look at the username!
      • raisputin3, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1Obama is "Puff the Magic Dragon", if, by Puff the Magic Dragon you mean "Don't bogart that joint man, puff puff pass!!"
      • KJSatz, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1Well since Obama and HRC have similar positions on Iraq now, that means 57% back that position compared to 35% backing McCain's.

        In 2004 there wasn't much we could do besides what Bush was doing (besides the mismanagement and embezzlement)--withdrawal at that point didn't make sense since a rational person (like Obama) recognized the possibility that once we'd already messed up Iraq big time, we needed to try to resolve the situation before pulling out--we have failed to resolve the situation, so more Bush policy at this point is senseless. All the while, Obama was consistent in believing the war was a mistake from the start. The important part of the quote is "at this stage"--meaning 2004, once we'd already invaded.

    • Avngr75, on 03/27/2008, -0/+3Thank You!
      When I first saw this article I thought:
      "But, Stephen Colbert's character wouldn't support a democrat. Also, anyone he strongly associates himself with is pretty much a recommendation in the other direction. If Stephen Colbert (the real person) supported a democrat, then he would have his character (Stephen Colbert) endorse McCain."
      • dylio, on 03/27/2008, -1/+1He is entitled to endorse anyone who he has created, AKA McCain.
  • omjeremy, on 03/26/2008, -0/+14Damn, that was stupid.
  • Mikhail101, on 03/26/2008, -0/+4He does but he doesnt wanna ruin his character hes made hints throughout multiple episodes, like all he does is make fun of Hilary and accused her of being a muslim too.

    CLINTON TACTICS TURN OFF SOME SUPERDELEGATES

    Clinton tactics turn off some superdelegates
    Posted: Wednesday, March 26, 2008 5:55 PM by Domenico Montanaro
    Filed Under: 2008, Clinton

    From NBC/NJ's Matthew E. Berger
    At a time when Sen. Hillary Clinton is increasingly relying on superdelegates to vault her to the Democratic Party's nomination, a handful of undecided and pledged superdelegates are coming forward to say her campaign's tactics in recent weeks are doing more harm than good.

    The Democratic Party insiders say they believe Clinton's direct attacks against Sen. Barack Obama in recent days are hurting the party and its chances in November, and also say it is showing a calculated, desperate-to-win side of Clinton that they dislike.

    "In looking at the manner in which the candidates are campaigning, I think it would be best they focused their attention on the presumptive nominee and showed our party which one is better in campaigning against McCain," said Garry Shay, a California superdelegate, who announced his support for Clinton.

    Unlike some in the party, these superdelegates said they do not believe Clinton should drop out of the race. They said they are committed to the democratic process, and want to allow the states still remaining to cast their ballots. But they acknowledged Obama is the likely nominee and suggested the personal attacks were only hurting the party and its viability.

    The Clinton campaign has been actively wooing these delegates, believing a plurality represents the strongest, and increasingly the only, way for her to win the nomination. But one undeclared delegate, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the recent tactics are turning her and other superdelegates off.

    "I don't think anybody's saying 'step aside,' but 'stop with the garbage' is what people want to say," the delegate said. "Just chill a little bit."

    As activists committed to the party, they said, they have been impressed by Obama's ability to bring new Democrats into the fold, and they worry that Clinton is threatening that.

    "We like the fact that there is a candidate that has won so many states overwhelmingly," the delegate said. "We're feeling her advisors are leading her in a path that diminishes her as well as him."

    Several said they were angered by comments from James Carville, who called Bill Richardson "Judas" for backing Obama after serving in the Clinton White House. One delegate said Richardson's rationale for supporting Obama, and his implicit frustration at the Clintons' heavy-handed approach to garnering his support, was echoed among superdelegates.

    Others said they were frustrated by recent reports that Clinton embellished her description of landing in Bosnia as First Lady, and said it suggested she would do anything to win. "I don't remember what movie I saw two weeks ago; I don't necessarily remember what I had for dinner last night," one superdelegate said. "But I would remember having to duck and run from sniper fire."

    The final straw, though, were Clinton's comments Tuesday, when she said the Rev. Jeremiah Wright "would not have been my pastor." Several superdelegates saw it as a direct, personal attack on Obama.

    "I think it's very dangerous for any candidate to constantly thrum on what they perceive as sensational criticisms of their opponent," said Debra Kozikowski, an uncommitted superdelegate from Massachusetts. "I would be more likely to respond positively to discussions of issues that effect Americans versus what might be perceived as character flaws."

    Clinton campaign officials said Clinton's comments were a direct response to a question she received at an editorial board meeting and suggested personal attacks have gone in both directions in the primary race.

    The party activists said they have been receiving calls from members, a majority of whom want them to support whoever has won the popular vote. Many superdelegates are themselves elected by the Democratic Party and believe most will follow the will of party members for the party's future, and their own viability.

    And they say they are not buying some of the Clinton campaign's explanations as to why they should support her, whether it is her victories in large states, primary states or those likely to go Democratic in the November election.

    "Periodically, over the last couple of weeks, you will see a news story or get something from the campaign, and you'll go, 'How stupid do you think I am?" one uncommitted superdelegate said. "All of us watch television all the time, read the newspapers. We all play with the little charts online too. We know it is virtually impossible."

    One delegate said the Clinton campaign is "using Jeremiah Wright to scare white people."

    "A full and fair debate about issues and differences and even fights is good," the delegate said. "Mud slinging, personal attacks and lying is never good for any political fight or party. And I see a lot of that coming from one side more than the other."

    The delegates said there is little the party or its leaders can do to prevent the current back and forth. But some said they were increasingly in touch with Clinton campaign officials to say their support is in jeopardy.

    "Uncommitted delegates can come out and say, 'If you don't stop this now, we won't vote for you,'" one uncommitted superdelegate said.
  • babylonian, on 03/27/2008, -0/+5It actually said 'Barrack'. She wasn't kidding about not being politically informed.
  • xoools, on 03/27/2008, -1/+9While I know this is supposed to be funny, I kinda felt the comment about McCain's not being able to lift his arms to be distasteful. He was a war hero and was tortured because he refused to leave the POW camp unless the other soldiers who were there longer got to leave as well. Thats why he can't do the wave.
    • raisputin3, on 03/27/2008, -1/+1According to a bunch of veterans, McCain was a ***** songbird when he was a POW and basically their bitch, I would never vote for McCain and I am a Republican
  • ipitydafool, on 03/27/2008, -0/+6this just in! 4 reasons your mother should endorse me!

    Seriously, this Obama spam crap is really getting out of hand. They should rename digg to diggobama-o-rama.com to satisfy all the mindless idiot followers who digg this crap.
  • airburst, on 03/27/2008, -0/+3Is it just me or is Popcrunch a cheap imitation of Talk Soup?
    • Pillage, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1If the Soup where Legos Popcrunch wouldn't even be Megablocks.
  • papipablo, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2Buried for not being funny at all.
  • wavesmachine, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1Dugg for the video quality. This is one of the highest res video's I've seen on Youtube.
  • StormCommander, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1This could seriously be the worst video that has ever made it to the front page... and that's a problem.
  • LoveYouSomeEric, on 03/27/2008, -1/+2Who is this bitch and why has someone not killed her with fire?
  • Chachuka, on 03/27/2008, -0/+5How ***** stupid! What a terrible waste of time! BURIED.

  • SwankRock3000, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1It was driving me nuts, but I finally figured out that this girl looks an awful lot like an actress who was in the 2nd season of the original UK version of "The Office".
  • raisputin3, on 03/27/2008, -7/+610 Reasons anyone should support Barack Obama

    9) You like BIG Government

    Now THAT is an accurate List
    • MrViklund, on 03/27/2008, -0/+3I may not agree with all your points but finally someone whom isn't a Obama fanboy just for the sake of Obama.
    • topace3000, on 03/27/2008, -0/+5This is a great list. I'd like to know who you would vote for.
      • raisputin3, on 03/27/2008, -1/+3You could take a guess, but you probably will not like the answer
    • billlyboobs34, on 03/27/2008, -4/+1You should get your facts straight first raisputin3..
  • UglyAryan, on 03/27/2008, -1/+1While I know this is supposed to be funny, I kinda felt the comment about McCain's not being able to lift his arms to be distasteful.

  • topace3000, on 03/27/2008, -1/+2Not that funny. This is from an Obama/Colbert fan.

  • Anzat, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2Buried, I want those 5 minutes of my life back. The only funny part was "old man balls" and they could have fit that in a jpeg, not a video.
  • PhobosDeimos, on 03/27/2008, -0/+3Not only this was unfunny, but insulting. Comment by a youtuber:
    "While I know this is supposed to be funny, I kinda felt the comment about McCain's not being able to lift his arms to be distasteful.
