Hes been nasty but every time he has it has backfired.
Thats their problem. They realize that McCains ads have been effective. I am hoping that now he gets as agressive with the message. Obama’s attempts at nasty have fallen flat because they are just that...nasty.
The basic charge is that Obama called Sarah Palin a pig, and that is sexist. Nevermind that it never happened.
The hell it never happened. The One should stick to his canned stuff, when he tries to be a stand up he always screws the pooch. He was referring to her and all your liberal BS can’t change it.
Well we can say Zero called Palin a pig all day long if Zero can say that McCain wants to stay fighting in Iraq for 100 years! Na Na Na Na ... Na Na!
LOLOLOL.
Typical Muslim solution—get out the knives and make heads roll.
Sarah Palin needs to have her SS detail TRIPLED! NOW!!!
Obama’s muzzie friends are getting restless.
Just precious.....a leftist columnist accusing Republicans of lying.....
The ‘Freedom Forum’ just ended on Fox, and the round table is discussing/comparing both McCain and O’s performances. Nina Easton of Fortune Mag. thought O was quite comfortable discussing being Commander in Chief. (Hair standing straight up on the back of my neck.) Also said both made similar answers about public service. Lots of congenial laughter from the panel. Now they’re going to talk about Charlie Gibson’s interview with Gov. Palin.
Who is this guy, Ted Rall’s girlfriend?
Hard to butcher a pig....when you’re it. (obama, that is)
I think they actually convince themselves of the crap they write. And you wonder why the "collective" IQ keeps dropping yet they believe they are the intelligent ones.
I dunno. Guy sounds like a stealth Freeper. Bringing up all those points that make the O campaign look goofy. And suggesting they get even nastier, the very strategy that’s gotten them in their present fix.
I laud this piece. It sits there screaming: “I don’t care what I say; I still don’t get it.”
Obama never said, "Palin is a pig". He inferred it in no uncertain terms by using humor to hide his personal insult of the Alaska Governor. Some pundits on the right have given Obama a pass on this. This shouldn't be overlooked, not for a moment.

Completely wrong. They're touted her as being just like you! That's the genius in the whole thing. The more you see of her, the less like you Obama/Biden seem. Now, many libs will continue to hate and sneer at her, but on some core level, they know she's them.
The reason it's so damn funny when Palin and Guiliani talked about community organizers, is because at their core everyone -- conservative, lib, whatever -- recognize it as one of those words that just fancies up something not so fancy. Like calling a housewife a "domestic engineer" or a janitor a "building sanitation specialist". It's not necessarily laughing to denigrate the job itself, just the vaunting of it. Like resume padding.
They’re calling what they have been doing “the High Road”????
They’re delusional as well as uncivilized, ill mannered, poor bred, and drug damaged DNA, Death Cult Freaks.

Child Care for Young Children:
Terence Samuel, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
“I was wondering if you could talk a little bit about how states are dealing with the whole issue of the former welfare recipients versus working poor families, who are increasingly beginning to look more and more like each other, and certainly in regard to child care have absolutely similar needs.”

That's Obama for you ...monkey see monkey do!
Right now it is not about the American people getting it. It is about Obama getting it. He’s getting hit over the head with a baseball bat and looking like he wants to file an amicus brief about it.
It would be silly to count out the Obama strategists; they have defied every prediction and surpassed every expectation thus far. But watching the Obama response to the Sarah Palin frenzy, conjures up sad images of John Kerry, Al Gore, or, dare we say it, Michael Dukakis.
I JUST love it when Dems cannot seem to figure out what happened or is happening. 7 more weeks.....it’s looking good!!!

Better off adrift, than Bushed
Terence Samuel of the liberal American Prospect has penned an editorial in defense of congressional Democrats, the penning of which one assumes required numerous pauses for some serious gastrointestinal heaving. I’ll give him credit for pluckiness, though, since defending the indefensible requires a real chin-out, stiff-upper-lip sort of damn-the-torpedoes paralogism that few with good reputation would be willing to dangle for public consumption and inexorable ridicule.
