As another example, consider Obama's stirring tale for the Selma audience about how he had been conceived by his parents, Barack Obama Sr. and Ann Dunham, because they had been inspired by the fervor following the "Bloody Sunday" voting rights demonstration that was commemorated March 4. "There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama," he said, "because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born. So don't tell me I don't have a claim on Selma, Alabama. Don't tell me I'm not coming home to Selma, Alabama"
Obama was born in 1961, and the Selma march occurred four years later, in 1965. The New York Times reported that when the senator was asked about the discrepancy later that day, he clarified: "I meant the whole civil rights movement."- TopherT, on 04/19/2008, -3/+11WHO THE ***** CARES
- Ajajadude, on 04/19/2008, -3/+8Wait...that's an issue how? Way to split hairs.
- jgtg32a, on 04/20/2008, -6/+5TopherT
Honestly your right, it really doesn't matter, it the usual politician BS. However Obama says he is honest and everyone believes him, if he didn't try to paint himself as honest then this wouldn't be an issue at all, like you said. - MisterFreeze, on 04/20/2008, -4/+10Are your childhood memories all 100% accurate? It doesn't make him a "liar". Dumb *****.
- jgtg32a, on 04/20/2008, -7/+1Why do I doubt that he heard that story when he was a child. Well you father and I decided to get it on after we heard ....
Give me a break. - EtherGnat, on 04/20/2008, -1/+8"There were links provided for each lie."
I tried to take your link seriously, but I couldn't get past the first item. Raking Obama over the coals because his recollection of a magazine article he read when he was nine can't be verified? I'm sure I remember plenty of things from 27 years ago incorrectly. That's seriously beyond lame. - Spuy767, on 04/20/2008, -2/+3That's statement by Obama is no different that Hilary's commend regarding "Sniper Fire." They are both a stretched truth designed to endear themselves to a certain audience. This is about as ho-hum as it gets in politics.
- TopherT, on 04/20/2008, -0/+2@ Spuy767 I was about to retort, trying to make HIllary's comment regarding sniper fire out to be more pertinent or indicative of her character when I realized that when I first heard the story, I didn't give a ***** at all. There are too many real issues to be concerned about. It was only once the story had gained national attention that I had made it one of my talking points to describe Hillary. My own hypocrisies are staring me right in the face, hypocrisies I thought were no longer in me. Its best to keep an eye out for this for all of us in ourselves. Maybe if we all do our part we can end this partisanism and move towards solutions to the very real problems our country faces.
- RepubOperative, on 04/19/2008, -15/+6There were links provided for each lie. All you had to do is follow the links...or are you that liberal and ***** incapable?
- Klinky, on 04/19/2008, -4/+8Wow, I wonder what their definition of freedom is... Certainly not the one you'd find in the dictionary...
- qwerter, on 04/19/2008, -2/+14In addition to your link being an attempt at a sort of Proof by Verbosity ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_by_verbosity ), many of the items listed are merely splitting hairs, and others are simply untrue. In fact, at your suggestion, I followed a few links at random to find out the source and its "support." Here's one:
"Obama stated that 'while our fuel standards haven't moved from 27.5 miles per gallon in two decades, both China and Japan have surpassed us, with Japanese cars now getting an average of 45 miles to the gallon.' But Toyota, which should know, has responded, 'No carmaker gets 45 mpg; ours is closer to 30 mpg.'"
I clicked the link offered. The link itself debunked the very "lie" it was trying to expose:
"...a report from the Pew Center on Global Climate Change stated that the 2002 average fleet fuel economy value in Japan was 46.3 miles per gallon when converted to the U.S. Corporate Average Fuel Economy standard."- witte, on 04/20/2008, -11/+2speaking of verbose....
LOL. Here's the link again, it's an excellent list:
http://www.freedomsenemies.com/_Obama/ObamaLies.ht ...- chicofaraby, on 04/20/2008, -2/+7Why yes, we DID notice that you avoided the fact that the info from the link is inaccurate and simply posted the same inaccurate ***** as if it meant something.

- pixel4e, on 04/19/2008, -3/+19Freedom's enemies? Do you really believe what those guys write?
- solidcube, on 04/19/2008, -8/+21No, I think it's a cartoon of Bush blathering fatuously after hundreds of people died in Katrina due to his inaction (he was playing guitar at a country music festival among other things). Or maybe it's referring to Bush's numerous malapropisms during the war that's claimed over 4000 US servicemen and a million of iraqis. Or maybe it's talking about the incessant lies he's told about the US economy, yet another thing he's devastated during his term of office.
But be sure and get in what few little snipes you can about Obama. We can handle it. By now we're all used to republicans and their clinical retardation.

- fultron89, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1but not that it has anything to do with us...
we (the usa) are, at the same time, the most trusting of our leaders, and the most hypocritical of them when it comes to an issue we can have an opinion for on this site. why doesn't everyone stop spouting about how much they hate bush in the comments sections of the internet, and actually get off their fat asses and do something about it?
And that includes people who have no business in our politics. (i.e. if you cant vote in this country, your opinion is meaningless to its inhabitants. )

- jacen, on 04/20/2008, -2/+2Wow, people actually believe your ***** response? Thats a completely inaccurate analysis. What the comic is trying to get across is how the media coddles Obama, even when he "misspoke" about the bitter citizens. But Bush has misspoke hundreds of times, and seriously fudged up words, not just the sentence structure and choice of words, but the media has never given him a free pass on that. Well, unless you only watch FOX News. Don't get me wrong, I kinda like Obama, I even agree with him about the bitter voters, but the media is in way too much of a love-stupor for him.
- inajeep, on 04/21/2008, -1/+1An additional interpretation could be that Bush is one of the most Tongue Tied Presidents who ever has been recorded.
- dball48, on 04/19/2008, -58/+14obama said that working class americans are stupid rednecks who don't understand politics. when he learned that his statement was recorded, he claimed that he misspoke.
- Atheuz, on 04/19/2008, -6/+27Pretty sure that wasn't what he said.
- MisterFreeze, on 04/20/2008, -5/+2It's what he wished he'd said at the time. For all the hysteria that appeared around his innocuous comment, he might as well have.
- Lewie, on 04/19/2008, -18/+6Whether he said it or not, it's probably mostly true (/Pol Sci grad)

- phike, on 04/20/2008, -1/+1dball48, --- it is clear that you do not understand politics if you let the media pundits tell you what our politicians say, and take them literally. Listen to the candidates yourself, ignore the pundits, and you may have a different understanding of what obama actually said.
- Atheuz, on 04/19/2008, -6/+27Pretty sure that wasn't what he said.
- darkamster07, on 04/19/2008, -7/+14sounds like you haven't been following the presidency for the past 8 years
- diggimator, on 04/20/2008, -0/+5It's a sound bite greatly exploited by Hillary and Faux News.
'Obama told donors at the fundraiser: "You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are going to regenerate and they have not. So it's not surprising, then, that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." ' -- http://www.latimes.com/news/la-na-obama13apr13,1,6 ... - Spuy767, on 04/20/2008, -8/+4So wait, someone is trying to paint the picture that the media ISN'T being soft on Obama? I like the man, but he's had about the easiest ride of any presidential candidate that I've ever seen.
- phike, on 04/20/2008, -3/+7McCain's advisors break up a relationship between himself and a female lobbyist due to it being "inappropriate," media lets that slide because it came from a hated news outlet, and Obama gets slammed because he doesn't know how to bowl.............easy ride indeed.
- Phyraxus, on 04/20/2008, -1/+2That's because he's not ***** up while walking on eggshells.
- Reaper2806, on 04/21/2008, -0/+1"The Media" - Half the reason arguments rage on Digg, and in fact anywhere, are gross generalisations. For the sake of progress, stop using such wide terms that paint everyone with the same brush. There's several news groups clearly pro-hillary, or pro-obama. I hate it when somebody starts any sentence with "Those Mexicans" or "Women are so", and I'll admitt I fall into the same trap. Admittedly there's usually a reason for all stereotypes, no smoke without fire, that kind of thing, but to lump everyone in one group based on a single unifying term is dangerous. And make no mistake those in power love it, because it makes accountability so much easier to avoid.
- kawaiirobo, on 04/20/2008, -2/+3I'm not defending President Bush, God knows he's possibly the worst president in existence, but he used to get railed all the time for his comments, it's just that with an upcoming election the media is more focused on people who are running for president, not the current one everyone can't wait to get rid of. You can't blame the media for covering what is relevant and ignoring the guy who's on the way out.
- xGORDOx, on 04/20/2008, -0/+6@rewinn
You couldn't be more wrong in your analysis of the cartoon, and it's frightening that so many people agreed with you.
The cartoon shows how the media cover for Obama even before he speaks, yet allow Bush to get tongue tied. The length of the tongue shows how long they have been letting Bush say stupid *****.
I seriously cannot believe that so many of you can't see that, I'm astonished actually.
I like Obama, but he's getting a free ride. Think if he was a (R) and had said the stuff that he has said, the press would have destroyed him already. - ejhdigdug, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1I have been following the election and I needed this one explained.
- rewinn, on 04/19/2008, -26/+292Bush lies frequently. The press never reports it. But if Obama says the sky is blue, the media attacks him because it's really pale blue.
- pixel4e, on 04/19/2008, -29/+13Obama set himself up for criticism by setting the standard so high. Lower the expectations and nobody cares.
- SaperKain, on 04/19/2008, -2/+3But isn’t that a soft bigotry of low expectations?
- jgtg32a, on 04/20/2008, -0/+2Not so much about the standards so high more along the line of the Honesty platform.
- elint6, on 04/19/2008, -14/+94I'm an Obama supporter, and while I agree with the cartoon, I don't think it's much of an issue. With Obama's presidency, I am hoping not only to get a genuinely intelligent and progressive president in the White House, but I am also hoping that--whoever the president--the media doesn't just relax and let someone ***** on our country as with Bush's 8 years.
Yes, the media can blow things out of proportion, but that's a lot better than not reporting presidential crimes at all.- rewinn, on 04/19/2008, -4/+39Well, it really IS an issue when the media attacks Obama while giving Bush a free pass. Don't think that Obama is a shoo-in; that sort of overconfidence can be fatal.

- SpeedSteamBoat, on 04/20/2008, -0/+5I'd say the bigger problem, so clearly and tragically illustrated by the last ABC democratic debate, is not that the media ignores things. It just chooses to focus on the most inane ***** constantly. Instead of focusing on the very real crimes and gaffes of the president the past eight years they've squandered our time reporting on "terror alert level"s, celebrity deaths, and the bigoted comments of radio show hosts. It should come as no surprise then that when campaign season rolls around all they want to talk about are lapel pins, "bigoted" pastors, and the word "bitter." It's just more of the same. They put the focus on what they think they can sensationalize the most without making people think too much, because usually making people think is bad for ratings. After all, this is television and people want to be entertained not moved to consider the problems of this country or social issues, right? The MSM thinks so and has for a while now. Chasing the almighty advertising dollar running "news" 24/7 on 9 channels year round has made our media a joke. A terrible, costly, unfunny joke.

- JointVenture, on 04/19/2008, -17/+5No, shantonu, the point is that whenever Obama says something that he gets heat for the next day he comes out and says he "misspoke" , and they are comparing him to all the times bush has "misspoken" and wondering why the press gives Obama a pass.
- BetterOffEd, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1HA. Really?
. - Shantonu, on 04/21/2008, -0/+0JointVenture: I don't think that interpretation is correct because the cartoon is pro-Obama and anti-Bush. Look at the way Bush is protrayed with his long and rather ugly tounge spilling out of his mouth and encircling him. Whereas Obama appears dignified and calm.

- jgtg32a, on 04/20/2008, -5/+2Sex scandals, look for the party affiliation, if it is a republican it is right after their name, if democrat it is buried later in the article if at all.
- MacEnvy, on 04/19/2008, -2/+11I'm sorry - you'll have to point me to the time when that was true. It never has been, despite what Mr. Limbaugh has been repeating for 15 years. And if you insist that it is, you'll have to provide some evidence, because Mr. Limbaugh never has.
- JointVenture, on 04/19/2008, -15/+1No, he said what he meant and you and the Obama supporters have twisted it a al carte style so that it fits in your emotionally invested blind head.
- freezervv, on 04/19/2008, -2/+3He said something that was true - want me to find you a link to a peer-reviewed sociology journal?
- JointVenture, on 04/19/2008, -4/+2Yup.
Especially considering he was the one who said he misspoke.
I cant believe you guys are so ***** up that you would say he didnt misspeak, yet OBAMA even says he did. - Fozefy, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1If something you say is misinterpreted, no matter what its true intention is, then it is defined as misspeaking, especially in the political arena. It doesn't matter what you mean, only what people think you mean.
- JointVenture, on 04/19/2008, -4/+2Yup.
- Fozefy, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1He did say what he meant. Thats what I said. Undereducated people just don't seem to understand the true definition of "bitter". Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, or elitist like the media has been saying it is.

- kawaiirobo, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1are you serious? Hillary is getting plenty of bad publicity, have you seen any of the Sniper stuff?
- Fozefy, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1Sure she is, but that seems like a much bigger gaffe than this and they are getting similar amounts of coverage, if not more for Obama. And what about what she has said about Nafta, those comments were mostly brushed aside by the media.
- SwedishNinja, on 04/20/2008, -2/+1I think it's funny how all the liberals had a field day when they misinterpreted John McCain's "100 years" comment and now they're acting all butthurt for someone calling out Obama for being elitist. They then claim he's not elite by saying "Oh, well he only made 5 million dollars last year, so therefore he's not an elite! The Clintons made $100 million, so therefore they are 20X more elite!" Just having money does not make one an elitist. Elitism is a state of mind, which Barack seems to be conveying in how he talks of rural Americans in public. Go ahead and digg me down, you know I'm right (Sorry, my elitism is showng through)

- MacEnvy, on 04/19/2008, -1/+7@LordoftheFly
Only because the comments are usually made by retarded trolls, like shyboy. I've voted for Hillary for my senator twice - and I'll vote for her for my senator again when her current term is up. But I'm not going to digg up stupid comments just because they vaguely support her.

- monroylobo, on 04/19/2008, -0/+4The fact that Bush provides so much fodder for criticism shouldn't make him exempt from receiving it. It IS true that criticizing Bush gets old, but it is even more ridiculous to think that we should allow a public figure to behave in such a manner without reprimand.

You cry when someone attacks Obama yet you support the Huffington Post? The place is full of hate.- moolaismyfriend, on 04/19/2008, -3/+14I got banned from the HuffPo because I challenged some of the ***** they post there. So why the ***** do you say i support the HuffPo.
Also I think McCain is a vile piece of trash, who will be a horrible leader. He let his own daughter be dragged through the mud in 2000 and he never stood up for her. He can't keep a marriage together, and he believes that destroying American families through an imperialistic foreign policy, is good for America.

I made the decision to do things myself, like wiping my own ass. But hey, if you want an economy more akin to Germany today than to America 2.0, then by I say to you: ***** DIE. We don't need more government suckle pigs to destroy the rewards of good, honest hard work. We have enough lazy slugs leaching already, let's not expand the governments power by putting our health in their hands.
But by all means, vote with your emotions. Give into that feel-goodery. Don't vote with your wallet, you know, that thing that allows you to support life through exchange of good and services. Don't, you know, vote according to those things that affect you... but vote according to what those expansionists power seekers want you to vote.- Disgod, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1Uhhhh people are voting with their wallets when they vote for Obama. The Bush Administration has cost the US TRILLIONS of dollars in debt for absolutely no gain. The level of hatred toward the US is now at record shattering levels, the amount of hatred towards the US before we invaded Iraq is microscopic in comparison. Deregulation of the banking industry by the Bush Administration has lead to the housing market crash. I am thinking that people are voting for Obama because he represents a complete shift from those practices. As I said, we are voting with our wallets and our minds.

- staeiou, on 04/19/2008, -3/+4No, I'm sure that Itchimpo meant capitolism, given that Barack HUSSAEIN Obama is clearly in opposition to the existence of national capitols. His attempt to bring change to Congress since he has been there hasn't been about the current administration or any Democratic political goal, it is about his opposition to the existence of a building that houses the legislative branch of a government! He supports JUDICIAL ACTIVISM, which is an attempt for the judiciary to write laws in a place other than the capitol. He opposed the surge and refused to say it was working because it was a consolidation of forces in the green zone of Baghdad, which is where their national legislative assembly meets. And that thing about him not wearing the flag pin? He isn't doing that because he hates America (I'm sure he loves it in his own way), but he hates that it stands for America. And what else is a physical object that stands for a nation? THAT'S RIGHT, CAPITOLS! On all of his travels to foreign countries, from Russia to Israel, he has never once visited a capitol. He always meets with heads of state at their residence, even when their "White House" is farther away from the airport than their capitol. This, I should add, he learned this from his MUSLIM school which supports the abolition of a single national capitol in favor of a series of distributed centers of legislative government around a geographic region in order to prevent attack from freedom loving capitolists which is what the KORAN is really about - don't let anyone fool you.
And to think, this is from a man who owes his status to capitols! If he had never gotten to work in the Illinois Capitol or the U.S. Capitol, do you really think he would be here right now? You LIEBERALS may say otherwise, but no one can deny that capitol buildings are just as much a part of Obama's past as Bush's. I can understand the, excuse me, BITTERNESS that Obama feels towards capitols, but it is disgusting. As someone who lives in D.C. and sees the capitol building each day, I am offended by his hatred for capitolism. - ltchimpo, on 04/20/2008, -2/+2I would also like to note how unfortunate it is that grammaitc errors take away from comments on the internet.

- stretch611, on 04/20/2008, -1/+2I only wish what you said is true. Unfortunately Bush still has 9 months to screw things up even more. And now that we are in a recession Mr. Brain Dead is the one trying to fix it after getting us into the recession in the first place.
- proliance, on 04/20/2008, -0/+2One of the Democrats' talking points is to keep attacking Bush and to somehow link McCain to him. They want to convince you that Bush and McCain are the same. In fact, I'd be surprised if no Libs reply to my post, trying to convince us that Bush and McCain are twins separated at birth.
- korvan504521, on 04/20/2008, -0/+2its a big part of the reason they lost last time. kerry spent way too much time pointing to bush and saying "look at bush and the things he did". he should have been saying "look at me and the things I will do." If you want to win an election, it kinda helps to get people to think about you, not your opponent.
- kawaiirobo, on 04/20/2008, -0/+2Thank you. People criticize the media for criticizing Obama, but this man is running for President for Christ's sake. I want to know as much about this guy as possible, I'm not saying I do or do not support him, but I refuse to blindly follow the word 'change' and not know what the guy stands for. I like that he is under scrutiny, it gives the people a chance to see what he will be like as a leader, and the better he handles controversy the more qualified he is to BE a leader. I don't want to elect anyone who is soft-balled their whole campaign. I can't wait for more stuff to come out about McCain, not because I dislike McCain but because I'm undecided, and I want to see how each of these candidates handles under pressure. As for now, Obama is doing a decent job quelling his controversies.

- Nhmarine, on 04/19/2008, -4/+1It is dissapointing that our presidential campaigns are marked by neo-McCarthyism.... But, if you recall, Obama stated that "I don't think the american people are that [stupid/gullible]" (honestly, I can't remember verbatim what he said, but it was to that effect when he was being criticized for saying something that could be misinterpreted or having a relationship with that preacher) Actually, I think that the american populous IS that gullible.... They are eating up these vitriolic campaign wars, no? or why else would we be trivializing the campaign to red tape if we didn't think americans were gullible enough.... Shame on media (for many reasons other than that ((american idol, shame)))....
- nastronomical, on 04/19/2008, -14/+6Lets be real here Obamatics...if the same questions were asked of anyone else you would be ok. So cut the hypocrisy out. Its funny how insane you people act. Why are you afraid of the man who might be president getting asked easy,tough or lame questions? After all this is the man who wants to be President and the people have the right to know....unless you really dont "care" about the people and only about your own liberal ideology....the stench of hypocrisy hang over you people like hippes who do not bathe.
- bicyclethief, on 04/19/2008, -1/+9People don't give a ***** that they're tough questions. Obama was a Constitutional lawyer, I think the big boy can handle himself. But how does not wearing a flag pin fit into anything? Bush and Cheney wear flag pins and look at the wake of ***** they've left behind, from Iraq, Katrina, to torture. Flag pins, superficial patriotism, Reverend Wright-- ***** like that doesn't mean anything but to the small minded.

LOL. That's why you're Canada, and we're not.
Our Constitution protects our freedom to choose in these matters, so your system wouldn't fxn here under our laws. Square peg in a round hole. But enjoy, sounds delightful.- DGHtruenorth, on 04/20/2008, -1/+0I am "a" Canadian but I can't say I represent Canada as a whole. Can you opt out of income tax? And frankly any Canadian province can opt out of the Canada Health Act if they forgo a dwindling federal financial contribution. Fact is, the system is far from perfect, but vast majority of Canadians, for a myriad of different reasons, would never trade our system for one that denies care to its most disadvantaged citizens, the least educated or poorest. We are however, way off the topic of the cartoon. Fun though.
- witte, on 04/20/2008, -1/+1Can you opt out?

- chicofaraby, on 04/19/2008, -1/+3How is giving tax money to the same insurance corporations that are the problem (Clinton and Obama's plans) somehow "universal health care?" "Universal health care" means single payer, nationalized coverage of every single person. Universal. Period. Nothing else works. Nothing else is a real change.

- monroylobo, on 04/19/2008, -3/+4Kudos to the artist. It is quite saddening that the American public has become so numbed to all the faux-pas that our current president commits to the point of it being considered acceptable. "He didn't mean that" is starting to become the Republican mantra. It is time for our president to actually represent the best aspects that America has to offer to the world rather than create an image of "dumb Americans".
- Pherdnut, on 04/20/2008, -1/+4He meant exactly what he said, not what you jagoffs imply is more what we've been saying.
- monroylobo, on 04/20/2008, -3/+1I was referring to President Bush's inability to speak without requiring an interpreter, not implying that Bush could create subtleties in speech(that would be giving him way too much credit).
- witte, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1You're out of touch Monylobo. America loves President Bush. Folks elected him twice. Most everybody appreciates his colloquial demeanor. His lack of condescension is a breath of fresh air. Gee wiz lady, does every southerner you meet make you feel depressed and ashamed like this?

- Darkside2984, on 04/19/2008, -8/+6He did not "misspeak" he clearly said that Pennsylvanian's turn to guns and God whenever times get rough. The problem is that we have been turning to guns and God in the good times too. That's why we were offended. He simply did not see how people could have Jesus without having a reason to run to him. He would have lost my vote, but he never had it to begin with...
- EtherGnat, on 04/20/2008, -2/+2He in no way meant to imply people don't believe in those things when times are good. All he meant was when times are bad and distrust of government is particularly high that people focus on those issues to the *exclusion* of other things. Read the full transcript, he was answering a question about what difficulties supporters might have getting his message across in Pennsylvania, and in that context I thought his comments were perfectly appropriate. Using the word "cling" probably wasn't the best choice, though.
- redchina, on 04/19/2008, -5/+10Bush likes tentacle rape?
- EskNerd, on 04/20/2008, -3/+4Yeah, I was just about to say that Bush looks like a demon straight out of some cheap hentai. Not, uh, that I know what that looks like.
- juusux, on 04/19/2008, -3/+1the media didn't care to give bush a hard time because they were probably getting money from him or his family through some sort of means.

- 4d669, on 04/20/2008, -2/+4so you stereotype PA low class people and think they all cling to religion and guns because of bitterness?
in b4 saying 'yes' because Stewart instructed you that stereotypes are ok, so that Obama's comment becomes good, while he is a black president and if stereotypes were applied to Obama you would create a TIME PARADOX into hell.- MrWhite7, on 04/20/2008, -0/+4No, I don't agree with what Mr. Obama said. I just think he meant what he said.
- BetterOffEd, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1So do I. AND I agree with him. It's time to stop sacrificing honesty for sensitivity.
.- MrWhite7, on 04/20/2008, -1/+1He gave an honest opinion... he essentially said "if you don't buy what I'm selling, it's because your a redneck zealot who clings to guns and the KKK."
For being the media-p[roclaimed "uniter" he stuck his foot in his mouth. Amusing but refreshing to see. I don't really hold it against him either way. His policies tend to speak for themselves. - BetterOffEd, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1Never said anything about "buying what I'm selling", uhhh..... "Mr. White" is it?
He said that when people LOSE their blue collar jobs, they get pissed off and then, as an outlet or a knee-jerk reaction, they hold on steadfast to what they "know" about God or their respective religion; their rights as a gun-toting American; and their anger towards foreigners and outsiders increases because of what they may have heard about American companies off-shoring their jobs to India, Mexican nationals working in America for much cheaper wages; etc.
Now, no matter where you stand politically, you have to admit that there's some truth in that.
"Foot in his mouth"? Hardly. I think he meant every word he said. (And at the very least, I certainly HOPE that he did.) I'm not registered as a democrat, but I have to agree with him.
. - MrWhite7, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1I think he meant it too. It makes perfect sense to me, he just viewed it as a negative. People are having a hard time of things financially right now so they cling to rights which can't be taken away. Religion, Guns, Citizenship Some people do cling too much, but then, we can't all be wealthy Senators with the luxury of judgment. He stands on the backs of lesser men and then derides them for the walls against which they brace themmselves. I'm not saying he's wrong, I'm saying I disagree that its as negative a thing as he intoned.
And yes... Mr. White. - BetterOffEd, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1If we can consider ALL national federal politicians (senators, congressman, cabinet members, etc.), highfalutin and elitist, then I'll definitely concede that point. ALL are out of touch with the working class people in America on some level. Obama might not be as wealthy or privileged as other senators (in fact, he may very well be one of the least when it comes to both of those), but he is still a DC outsider by definition, and I can certainly see how his negative slant on that quote can be construed as condescension.

The only political articles that ever make it to the front page are anti-Hillary stories. I mean seriously, how much of this Bosnia ***** can HuffPo talk about?

- linuxeventually, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1I do believe you meant to say "nominated", not "elected" (based on the context).
- bernlin2000, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1Well Obama is "less bad" than every 2008 candidate. That's an awkward way to put it however. The usual way of saying it is that he is "the best man for the job". Or woman, if that was his gender
- tricks574, on 04/20/2008, -8/+1Really, really, "Obama > Bush" is worthy of a political cartoon and front page, really? I used to be considering Obama, but then I saw his supporters. Guess what, HALF OF YOU ARE ***** NUTS!!! You know why I won't vote for Obama, because I've yet to see an IOTA of intelligent conversation about his candidacy.
- DVision2406, on 04/20/2008, -2/+3What you just said was pretty dumb!! You won't vote for him because you don't like his supporters? If your brain had 1 more cell, it'd be lonesome!!
- youreh, on 04/20/2008, -1/+3who do you support? because i don't think what you are saying is intelligent, so it must be a reflection on who you want as president. and i cannot possibly vote for him/her then.
