Its reasonable to expect he understood what he was saying? “Elitest” rhetoricians in the rarified atmospheres of ivy league academia have long derided America as hopelessly “authoritarian” and this weltanschaung fits perfectly along with Adorno, Marcuse, et al. Its important to understand how leftists think, and for that a university education pays off. What’s interesting to me is that both the candidates have roots in the Chicago school of radical poltics. I don’t particularly care for any candidates that spend all their time hiding from who they really are or what they really believe.

Is there ONE person out there who thinks this guy can be elected president of these United States?

...it was Obama himself, caught on tape, denigrating average Americans who have guns, hold to religion and are anti-immigrant.

The average American is not "anti-immigrant". The majority of white Americans have immigrants in their family tree.

The average American is "anti-illegal alien".

And it's not surprising then they get bitter

Another big dollop of projection on Barack Hussein's part!

This man is psychologically not fit to become the President of the USA. Not only for America's sake but for the sake of the world.

Don’t think any one caught this but if their jobs have been “gone for 25 years” they ought to be pretty well decomposed into dust right about now.

Somehow I don’t see that.

Funny, during the hawkeye caucii I seem to recall him making a statement referencing the necessity for rural folks to maintain firearms because of the long LEO response time or words to that effect. Which is of course a smart thing to say, politically?

I too am very suspicious that something like this is happening on a large scale with DemocRAT donations, but I don’t know how it can be investigated..... federal law only requires public reporting of campaign donations of $200+ I believe?? So they could be funnelling tons of donations under $200 and it would be off the radar of the FEC??

It would require examination of the website logs, servers, and Paypal and credit card records, etc...... Although given the kind of money Soros and friends can throw around, one would assume they could have some sophisticated means of covering their tracks. I hate to get all conspiratorial, but how on earth would we ever know if Soros or someone like him had a bunch of computers somewhere churning out digial donations to DemocRAT websites??? They could easily have a program that varied the amounts, timing, attributes, etc. so that unless one accessed the server logs it would never be apparent what was going on? This would be much easier to do (with enough money) than all the loony left fantasies of Karl Rove hacking electronic voting machines all over the country.

Remember, while fundraising is not the same as votes, he (or she) who can out-raise an opponent by vast sums does certainly have some crucial advantages.

Don’t forget Michelle Obama’s advice to leave the office sector of employment.

Y’know SOMEBODY has to do the work. Just like SOMEBODY has to clean the toilets.

This will cause nary a ripple.

Perhaps not. Mrs. Clinton is using it in her PA stump speeches...saying that PA doesn't deserve a president who looks down on them. McCain has also issued a statement blasting Barry.

He’s not an empty suit. Empty the pockets and you will find copies of the Communist Manifesto.

Even immigrants who went through the process of legal immigration don’t like to see illegal immigrants getting to make up the rules (including in-state tuituion at state universities).

I think this whole scene would’ve been even funnier if the bigoted Rev. Al Sharpton had gotten this much “street cred” in the 2004 campaign...

Even his most loyal follower Chris Matthews did a piece on this tonight. The problem is, Clinton will score points with this. He would have been so easy to beat in the general. Now, if Hillary pulls this off and gets the nomination, there is no way she will let McCain win after she fought and clawed to get here. It would have been better strategy to let him take her out first. It’s looking more and more like we could be stuck with the Clintons for 4 or possibly 8 years.

Cheer up and fear not, jersey...the Panel tonight suggested that Bubba is indeed trying to sabotage her campaign with his recent blabbering on the sniper fire fiasco. Mrs. Clinton has also been exposed during this battle with Obama and she's not looking pretty. I think by the time November rolls around, Americans may be happy to have that nice older man McCain instead of the return of Clinton Inc. By the way, I saw a guy on the train tonight wearing a McCain button.

I represent that remark.

I sure hope you’re right. As bad as Obama may be, nothing trumps my disdain for the Clintons. I just want them taken down once and for all.

Yes, it’s the people in these towns that cling to their guns and religion that are causing all the inner city shooting deaths of blacks and hispanics.

Barack is a f@cking moron. The more and more he opens his mouth, the more people realize this guy does not have a grasp on reality. He is warped.
