peregrinerose 0 #3 October 11, 2008 Who cares what people say about him? I could call Obama Mickey Mouse, that doesn't make it true or agreed with by the candidate himself. There's so much meaningless crap being hauled into this election by both sides. I don't care about Palin's college hopping 30 years ago, where McCain graduated in his class 50+ years ago, what Obama's middle name is or what other people may say about him.... all of that is meaningless in the grand scheme of an election right now with people we need to asses based on who they are as adults, not who they were 20+ years ago.

MikeForsythe 0 #4 October 11, 2008 But this is NOW, not 20, 30 or 50 years ago. Also you are not in a position of influence like Farrakhan is. There are people that will believe and follow what Farrakhan says.Time and pressure will always show you who a person really is! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChasingBlueSky 0 #6 October 11, 2008 Did you have a problem with Bush saying Jesus wanted him to be President? Just trying to see where the double standards end and begin And tell me how the Rev is anyhow connected to Obama that isn't spouted off by someone in a tinfoil hat. Meanwhile Bush is saying that other stuff about himself. So, because this guy who gets some press said something, it's important somehow? Ok._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

peregrinerose 0 #7 October 11, 2008 There are gullible people all over the place, what Farrakhan says, without Obama's endorsement, has nothing to do with who Obama is and his suitablity as a candidate. Now if Obama goes on the news claiming to be the Messiah, then you'd have a point. Do or do not, there is no try -Yoda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

masterblaster72 0 #9 October 11, 2008 Quote According to Louis Farrakhan. Wow, just think, we get two for one this election, a president and the Messiah! It's the "fear the darkies" garbage like this that makes a neutral like myself (I like Ron Paul and still do) root for Obama. Good job sir -- from my point of view, you achieved the opposite of what you were aiming for. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alw 0 #10 October 11, 2008 QuoteJust more Monkey Poo Mike.... Quick.. sniff your fingers Do you think so? Do you really think so? You're old enough to remember no matter what you politics or ideology. We've been hearing about the "Mobs" at Republican rallies, yet McCain is belittled for saying something to defuse the passion. At the same time Obama incites a crowd to "Get in their face" and it's no big deal. You have to remember that time in our history when public figures were elevated to such a status as to incite such passion and such devotion that an offhand comment caused a clash of society. It may be nothing that Obama has designed or even that his staff has consciously constructed, but it is there. You can still support him and stand by him as your candidate, but can you really deny that what is happening is beyond political? Even if he never realizes the undertone, or even if he does see it and shuns it, those that would have him be what they desire him to be will promote it. What this represents is not about politics. "If it's never our fault, we can't take responsibility for it. If we can't take responsibility for it, we'll always be its victim. - from "Running From Safety" --------------------------------------------- Every day is a bonus - every night is an adventure.

billvon 3,111 #13 October 11, 2008 >yet McCain is belittled for saying something to defuse the passion. I haven't heard him belittled. Everything I've heard is either a "well, what do you expect when you rile up a crowd?" angle or a "good on him for at least trying to defuse it" angle. Personally, I think he and Palin have done a lot to whip their followers into such a frenzy, but I admire him for trying not to let it get out of hand. >At the same time Obama incites a crowd to "Get in their face" and it's no >big deal. Threatening to kill a candidate and "getting in someone's face" are two completely different things. One is a crime, the other is not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSE 5 #16 October 12, 2008 Quote So....Your posts make it obvious that you don't care for liberals. I can't help but wonder if you'd be as silly were it the conservative candidate being proclaimed as the Messiah, or at the least, fulfillment of [url "http://www.pensitoreview.com/2007/06/05/mormons-resurrecting-white-horse-prophecy-around-romneys-campaign/">Mormon prophesy? More There's a wealth of information on the prophesy of a religion much more predominant in the US than an off-the-cuff comment by an extremist.... But...he's not black, not liberal, and not winning the race. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey, we're trying to cut McCain some slack here but if you want to bring up his class ranking, his temper, and his boast of collecting "an impressive array of demerits", that's fine.

When it's a republican the line is "hey, people learn from their mistakes, that's a good thing. Change is GOOD." Some comments from posters here on McCain's past support of ACORN: FallingOsh: I used to like my friend's dog. Then the little fucker bit me. I don't like it now. Am I a flip flopper? marks2065: so changing your mind is wrong? sounds to me like he found out what acorn was all about and then walked away. sounds to me like he made a good choice. Remember - it doesn't matter what you say. All that matters is that R or D behind your name. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
