They advocate it and call it a joke: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/kilborn1.html I find it pretty lame you're even acting as though you have no clue about the attacks on Pres. Bush. |

Why is it that you ALWAYS try to make mountains out of molehills? EDIT: As I remember, you were a big supporter of McCain back in '04 and '05, when others here (including me) were saying he wasn't Republican enough. It was you, and "you know who." I recall you saying you'd be proud to vote for him. So, how'd that work out? Edited by Admiralbill_gomec, Nov 7 2008, 10:50 AM.

Alec Baldwin, on national TV no less, stated that Republicans and their children should be killed. Does that count? |

I personally loved Chris Matthews' comment about getting a thrill up his leg after hearing Obama speak. http://hotair.com/archives/2008/02/13/video-chris-matthews-gets-a-thrill-up-his-leg/ Of course, that may ONLY be a man crush. |

Henry Hyde, specifically. Old Arec Barrrrdwin called for Hyde and his family to be stoned. "Stone them!" Specifically:

Back on topic. Personality cults are created by those who wish to radically transform society. Usually a personality cult centers around a single leader who is associated with this revolutionary transformation, and held up as a loving and caring leader, without whom the transformation cannot occur. This is Barack Obama. Edited by Dwayne, Nov 7 2008, 10:50 AM.

Oh, sorry... thought you were talking about Kim Jong Il for a moment. I do think there are many out there who have unrealistic expectations for Obama. I believe that they're in for a rude awakening when they find out that he's a human being. |

No way! Surely you jest! Some mayhem, arrests after Obama rally November 5, 2008 at 4:54 PM At least five people were arrested across the city after Barack Obama's rally in Grant Park, including a woman who slapped a Chicago police officer, saying police couldn't arrest her anymore, prosecutors said today. Most of the others celebrated the historic occasion with gunfire. Celita Hart, 19, stood silently in court today when she appeared for a bond hearing. Prosecutors said Hart, who is black, yelled " 'White [expletive], [expletive] McCain--you white police can't do nothing anymore.'" With that, she reached through the window of a squad car and slapped a white male officer in the face, according to Assistant State's Atty. Lorraine Scaduto. The incident occurred after police responded to a crowd of people celebrating Obama's win on the corner of 69th Street and Western Avenue. Hart, of the 7100 block of South Rockwell Street, was charged with aggravated battery of a police officer and was ordered her held in lieu of $10,000 bail. Others who appeared before Circuit Judge Israel Desierto included Andre Murph, 37, of Aurora, who was arrested after police saw him shooting a handgun into the ground on the Southwest Side. Scaduto said he told the officers he was "shooting to celebrate Obama as president." Narada Thomas, 23, of the 1200 North Central Avenue, allegedly gave a similar explanation after he was arrested with a handgun near his home. "He said he had the gun because he wanted to celebrate Obama becoming the first black president," Scaduto said. Kenneth Smith, 24, of the 6700 block of South Ada Street, was arrested after he allegedly fired a handgun outside his home. Smith, who is on parole for a previous weapons conviction, told authorities that "the police only arrested him because a black man won for president," Scaduto said. Robert Morgan, 54, of the 5700 South Lowe Avenue, appeared to have simply been caught up in the excitement. When officers arrested him for allegedly firing a handgun into the air from his back porch, "He told the officers, 'Everyone else is shooting off their guns--I figured, why not?'" Scaduto said. http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2008/11/some-mayhem-arrests-after-obama-rally.html |

Time to put something here
|
Please do come back when your ready to have an intelligent conversation on the topic. Its quite an interesting one and I would like to hear your input. I already understand you think Republicans are angry so maybe when we continue we can put that to the side for a while and commence with the topic. |

^^^ He won't be back. As for the subject at hand. Let's look at the comments of Tom Brokaw... certainly no republican, but his words totally supports the opinions of Evan Thomas and Jon Meacham... No one really knows who Obama is... Here's some excerpts...

I didn't have to look up cypher and understood exactly what Dwayne was talking about. By the way, he was also making a pun. Obama followers use the two handed "O" symbol, which is jokingly referred to as "the zero" in conservative circles. Suddenly I have that Living Colour song going through my head. |

I don't know if this is just arrogant, or plain creepy: http://apnews.myway.com/article/20081107/D94AASTG0.html from Obama's first press conference. Note the "The Office of the President-Elect" sign. I notice the little Obama presidential seal is back at the top. By the way, that was a really classy move taking a potshot at Nancy Reagan there, Barry! http://apnews.myway.com/article/20081107/D94ABPF80.html Edited by Admiralbill_gomec, Nov 7 2008, 05:59 PM.

Yeah, he keeps moving from the slightly side of creepy to just plain creepy. |
