Please send that link to Mr. Taranto. Ask him also if it’s okay for us “angry” conservatives to go to obama’s appearances with shirts insulting him.

Refutation. Anger concerns ALL of the following topics, not limited to "race".

1) God D@mn America.

2) Obama's various versions of the story, including "I can no more disown him than my (racist) white grandmother"; "I didn't pay attention to the sermons"; "This is not the Rev. Wright *I* knew"

3) Hateful attacks on Palin including hacking of a sitting governor's email by the son of a Dem official; spreading of vile rumors including the idea that her own special-needs child was the illegitimate child of her teenager, and that Sarah had faked her own pregancy to cover it up; spreading of jokes on national TV about incest in the Palin family; jokes in public by a comedian that Sarah Palin would be raped by black men in New York (How's that post-racial thing working out for you, Barack?)

4) Photoshopping of blood and fangs onto John McCain by a photographer for what used to be a respected magazine (Atlantic Monthly), using some of the stock footage from the same shoot used to create the magazine cover;

5) Comparing John McCain to *DEMOCRAT* racist George Wallace;

6) Ignoring associations of Obama with a terrorist--what if John McCain had served on an educational foundation board with the Unabomber? (who ,btw, was according to his own manifesto an Al-Gore type environmentalist who said "conservatives are fools")

7) Ignoring the utter lack of experience of Barack Obama (the *top* of the ticket) while focusing solely on the "lack of experience" of the better-qualified Sarah Palin (the *bottom* of the ticket)

8) Lack of curiosity concerning Obama's pics for SecState, SecDef, securing the borders, and protecting the country against dirty bombs and nuclear proliferation

9) Covering up Obama's pro-abort record, more extreme than Hillary Clinton's

10) Not questioning Obama's probable Supreme Court picks

11) Not challenging Obama on his assertions about his tax plan

12) Ignoring the Dem fingers all over the subprime crisis, to wit:

a) Christopher Dodd and Barack Obama being in the top 3 in campaign contributions from Fannie & Freddie lobbyists.

b) Maxine Waters' defense (on video c. 2004 or 2005) that Fannie & Freddie were fine since "they had met their quotas" c) Ignoring that Barney Frank was sleeping with a high-ranking executive of one of the two agencies

d) Ignoring the presence of Jamie Gorelick, and the tens of millions in salary and bonuses paid to top executives at Fannie & Freddie

e) Ignoring the overwhelming outpouring of spontaneous emails and phone calls to Congress on both the bailout AND on amnesty ("immigration reform")

That's off te top of my head, I'm sure people can think of others.

Cheers!

Nuttin But Stringz, and their CD is Struggle from the Subway to the Charts.

To say they're outstanding does not do them any justice. They are phenomenal.

Do these people not realize that sane people get angry.?

Anyone who isn't angry at some aspect of Congressional behaviour is either well-medicated, not paying attention, or patently insane. But recall, the lunatics have taken over the asylum...

Why do they insist on telling us that Obama is a Christian?

I dunno.

With every other malignment they have foisted upon Christians, perhaps they are trying to add 'letting babies die' to the list of 'evils' by association.

I remember being at the Carson, CA rally and everyone commented how well behaved our crowd was. People were polite and kind to each other, even in circumstances of heavy crowding. Even to the disrupting individuals who shouted craziness from the ONE... we were magnanimous.

The anger from the right in no way mirrors the absolute vitriol and hatred from the left that they spew on a personal level at any and all who disagree.

We have freedom of speech in this country, last time I checked. If they can wear t shirts insulting Sarah in the basest language, then we can tell them how we feel, how we think and what we plan on doing about it!

I think conservative folk are angry at the McCain campaign for just being McLame (sorry).

The column was from Friday, early Friday.

However, isn’t it funny that we haven’t even seen any questionable or doctored video of all these outbursts that virtually everyone mentioned in the media over the weekend?

I’m sure you’re right. I notice that Drudge is countering the current liberal “angry right—McCain’s fault” propaganda theme with several articles of his own.

If you haven’t seen it, have a look at the video of the McCain parade on the Upper West Side of Manhatten. It’s a pretty good glimpse of how liberals behave when confronted by anything of which they disapprove.

I spent many years in academia, and I can vouch from first-hand experience that this is the main source of such liberal PC intolerance.

You need to think like a liberal reporter and then you will understand. :-)

Lessee: Your goal is to see Obama elected President. Your weapon of choice is the printed word. You notice that every President to date has been Christian. Therefore by definition the next President will be Christian. Therefore Obama is Christian.

Wasn't that easy?

;-)

Taranto always seemed to be a bit of the typical WSJ contributor, squishy and too PC, but hey let the coward know that angry Nobama folks will not attack him physically.

Well, I doubt if crowds in “flyover country” will be aroused to action by the likes of the late William F. Buckley. Would they even understand what he was saying? In short, angry Americans will do.

How about Marxine Waters proposing to nationalize oil companies?

What you said. The reason I didn’t answer you last night was because I sat here and listened to every YouTube video I could find. A change in musical style only happens about every decade. I really believe that these guys are creating a new style of music. They will do more to create unity between the races than obama could ever accomplish. They have actually “blended” the traditional music of two cultures. Awesome.
