“He’s smeared her in the most vile ways through his surrogates, and claimed she was a fluffybrained muffinheaded chillbilly bumpkin beauty queen from “Wasilly” Alaska, and now he’s up there resolutely swearing he won’t let a 110 pound woman “bully” him?”
Thanks to Slublog and Ace for the Photo
“We’re not going to be bullied, we’re not going to be smeared, we’re not going to be lied about,” Obama said. “I don’t believe in coming in second.”
What does that mean? He doesn’t believe in it or he doesn’t like it? He need not worry about that though, because, as Ace points out:
Don’t worry, Princess. You’ll be coming in third, Joe Biden in fourth.
He said this while attending a fundraiser hosted by long-haired ex-prettyboy Bon Jovi, incidentally. Then they went out shopping for “outfits.”

The picture above of McCain and Palin is ridiculuous. Does the McCain campaign actually believe such a photo is going to help them? And Hillary’s voters are NOT going to vote for McCain just because of Palin! Rove, Cheney and halliburton are behind all of this I just know it!

Hey Kids,
Remeber me? I thought you’d love to see another example of right wing hypocrisy: http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/09/keeping-us-sane.html
September 7, 2008 - 05:47 PM on September 7th, 2008
Yes AKD, we remember you.
I too think that Andrew Sullivan is a hypocrite…
September 7, 2008 - 07:15 PM on September 7th, 2008
Hey AKD,
Now that you’re back; perhaps you’d also like to comment on the recent Global Warming posts? Go into the archives and you’ll see several.
Since you’ve been away not only has the human-caused Global Warming hypothesis been throughly and totally debunked and discarded, but now there is growing evidence that in fact we are in a cooling cycle.
Just trying to help out, you see. Thought you might want to join the rational side…
September 7, 2008 - 08:41 PM on September 7th, 2008
Looking through the archives, robert, I see that you still have nothing better to do than try (and fail) to come up with clever things to say about democrats, and that you continue to live in a world where, if some right wing hack says something about global warming or anything else you race out and tattoo it on your ass. As always, you’re pathetic.
I love the Jon Stewart video that I linked to, On sites like this we hear again and again what a hyocrite democrat ‘x’ is, but no evidence is ever forthcoming. What do you make of the icons of the right flatly contradicting themselves?
BTW: I love the fact that the Bush regime is now so universally despised that the Republicon candidate for president — and admittedly, McCain is infinitely more liberal than Bush, as everyone from Coulter to Hannity to Limbaugh noted during the primaries — is trying to sell himself as the “change” candidate.
Incidentally, a lot of liberals I know would be happy to have McCain as pres. Hell, my friends and I actually registered republicon to vote for him in the primaries. I’d rather see Obama win, of course, but either way this country’s moving to the left (a little or a lot…).

I guess you’ve been out of the loop for so long, AKD, you haven’t been updated on the FACT that the much-touted Scientific “Consensus’ blaming human activity for Global Warming has long since evaporated, and the “Consensus” is now ion the other side? I guess you haven’t raed the information about sunspot activity and it’s substantial if not causative role in Earth climate?
I guess not, it seems you are still a fervent member of the Church of Global Warming, still faithful, still chanting the dogma despite the fact that the pews around you are now mostly empty.
You are the one who is utterly pathetic. And the sad part is that you’ll never even acknowledge when you are wrong, you just keep babbling away further solidifying your legacy as AKD the idiot, aka “Another Kool-Aid Drinker”.
The only question now is how long you’ll stay on the human-caused Global Warming bandwagon, even as the wheels are coming off and it has ground to a halt. Are you going down with the ship, like Al Gore surely will? Or will you just change your screename and emerge as another sort of babbling idiot, having jettisoned your GW anchor?
September 8, 2008 - 01:49 AM on September 8th, 2008
Is the name “AKD” really an acronym for “Another Kool-Aid Drinker”?
If so I’d suggest you find a new moniker, buddy. Because that one is going to get you laughed right out of any topic you join in on here.
September 8, 2008 - 06:35 AM on September 8th, 2008
Gee, I thought this was a thread about the upcoming election. I guess that the right really is just a sad, little broken record. No wonder even the republicon candidate had to distance himself from their lies.
I can’t wait for either McCain or Obama to get in. The first goal of the left in the current election was to make sure that someone like Huckabee didn’t make it past the primaries. We succeeded. It’s easy sailing from here.
September 8, 2008 - 07:08 AM on September 8th, 2008
Oh, and in case you don’t know why so many liberals are thrilled that McCain is the republicon pick for office, here’s some excerpts from “John McCain: Liberal in disguise,” an editorial that floated around during the primaries, but still didn’t help some religious nut like Mike Huckabee to get into office:
First, regarding religion, McCain looms as no lover of Christians. Recall his comments about key religious leaders in 2000, calling them “agents of intolerance.” And McCain’s vitriolic vilification of Christians was not limited to a single occurrence, for he later said, “I must not and will not retract anything that I said in that speech at Virginia Beach. It was carefully crafted, it was carefully thought out.” (Hardball, 3/1/00). More recently, however, McCain, positioning himself for 2008, has repackaged himself as pro-Christian, lauding key religious leaders and duping the devout. (Is this not as reptilian as Bill Clinton’s waffling?)
Second, on the issue of gay marriage, in 2005 McCain opposed a federal gay-marriage ban (Los Angeles Times, 1/25/ and 3/8). Now, however, likely realizing that most Americans think otherwise, McCain says he supports a gay-marriage ban (Meet the Press, 4/2/06). Which is it? Given his penchant for progressive politics, we can only assume the former.
Then, regarding abortion, McCain most certainly is pro-choice. In the San Francisco Chronicle (8/20/99) McCain sided with the pro-abortion camp, suggesting that overturning Roe v. Wade would lead to illegal abortions. Realizing, however, that he could not inveigle the GOP nomination with such views, McCain more recently has resold himself as pro-life, even saying he would support the South Dakota ban on abortions. What are Americans to believe? He either is pro-choice or lacks any real conviction on the subject.
Furthermore, regarding campaign-finance reform, the McCain-Feingold Campaign Reform Act is perhaps one of the more left-wing acts of Congress in the past twenty years. As recently exposed by Brian C. Anderson, “The Plot to Shush Rush and O’Reilly” in City Journal, McCain-Feingold (which passed with overwhelming Democrat support) is a convenient contrivance to silence conservatives. As noted by a whole host of commentators (George Will, Jonathan Rauch, and even Justice Clarence Thomas), this act poses blatant restrictions on political speech. It especially affects AM Radio and political internet blogs — the only two spheres of popular media where conservatives can truly compete. Critics remain divided why McCain supported a dictate so damaging to conservatives. Was it perhaps so that he could silence many on the Right whom he laconically loathes?
Last, but not least, McCain’s liberal tendencies show in the immigration debate. McCain has proven to be farther Left on the immigration issue than even many Liberals. At the very basis of most conservative thought is the idea of law and order, which are essential for the continuity of society. Bypassing tradition and sanity, and slapping in the face those who have come here legally, McCain has sought to sweep aside law and order to engage in the unbecoming business of pandering to ethnicities. (Isn’t this the dominion of Democrats?) McCain’s radical views on immigration threaten numerous components of the wellbeing of the United States and, more generally, Western Civilization: national security, standards of living, and cultural homogeneity, to name a few. McCain has courted the cheap-labor lobby for some fast cash for 2008 and now attempts to convert the U.S. into a third-world country.
McCain’s liberal laundry list goes on and on. Senator Lindsey Graham, another liberal in disguise, comments correctly that the present is a defining moment for the Republican Party, although his underlying analysis is wrong. The choice is between a party of McCain’s vision, a party indistinguishable from the Democratic Party, or a party that at least maintains a modicum of conservatism. If McCain loses, hopefully he will depart for the Democratic Party (where he belongs); but if he wins, expect to see a mass exodus of conservative voters from the GOP, probably over to a third party.
Great fun!!!!

Post whatever you wish, AKD, buut it’s all for naught. Just preventing Marxist, hate-Whitey, hate-America, Muslim Barack Saddam Hussein Osama Obama from getting in the White House is reason to enough to elect McCain or almost anyone, for that matter. With the addition of Palin, the choice is obvious. So you can post all your points, but it don’t matter not noway not nohow.
You might more productively spend your time reading the articles from some of the links I posted in the Global Warming updates, about how leading Climatologists, some of whom originally supported human-caused GW, have come out and not only said there is nothing to support it, but that it is a fraud.
Now why I am I dogging you on this GW thing? Because it’s all about credibility, and until you come clean on your zealous former position, you haven’t got ANY credibility. And when a posted has zero credibility, he can post as much as he wants but it doesn’t amount to a hill of beans. It can be dismissed summarily.

You got no science, and you got a choice between left and lefter.
Have fun!! I’ll check in after the election!
