2. Imagine if Obama had a sign that said, "No to Mountain Meadows Mitt"
Edited on Sat Jul-21-07 07:26 PM by IanDB1
See:

Mountain Meadows massacre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mountain Meadows massacre was the massacre of the Baker-Fancher party of emigrants on September 11, 1857 at Mountain Meadows by members of the Iron County Military District of the Nauvoo Legion (the Mormon militia in the Utah Territory)<1>, which had been mustered to keep watch against an expected invasion by the United States Army during the Utah War. The emigrants were traveling from Arkansas toward southern California. Under the direction of other local leaders of church and state, U.S. Indian Agent John D. Lee led an auxiliary contingent of Paiute tribesmen along with some militiamen disguised as Native Americans in a siege. When the party surrendered and gave up their weapons, Mormon militiamen executed an estimated 120 men, women and children.<2> Seventeen smaller children were spared.

Investigations, interrupted by the U.S. Civil War, resulted eventually in nine indictments being issued in 1874. Despite others' involvement, only John D. Lee was tried and convicted. Lee was executed by firing squad at the location of the massacre in 1877.

6. Here's a follow up from the POS Romney campaign, courtesy of TPM
Spokesman: Romney Not "Equating Or Comparing Anyone" When Holding "Obama Osama" Sign
By Eric Kleefeld | bio

As you may have seen today, TMZ.com has obtained two photos of Mitt Romney posing with a supporter in South Carolina. The supporter was holding a sign with the homemade writing, "NO TO OBAMA OSAMA AND CHELSEA'S MOMA" (sic). In the second photo, Romney is himself holding up the sign with the supporter.

This obviously invited the question: Was it appropriate for Mitt Romney to hold up a sign likening Barack Obama to the leader of an international terrorist network, responsible for bloody attacks upon the United States, apparently all based on his name? After all, what would the media reaction be if Barack Obama posed with a supporter who had a sign comparing President Bush to Adolf Hitler? The press would go nuts over it, surely, and rightly so.

Election Central contacted Romney spokesman Kevin Madden for comment, asking if it was appropriate for the candidate to hold the sign up with the woman. "The governor stopped briefly for a picture with a supporter who just happened to be holding their own sign with an alliterative play on words," Madden said, via e-mail. "I don’t think it was equating or comparing anyone

9. If Obama did ANYTHING SIMILAR
The Republicans would go nuclear on him, I expect no less of the Democrats.

12. An "alliterative" play on words? Shows how much HE knows
Edited on Sun Jul-22-07 10:56 AM by rocknation
Alliteration is rooted in the repetition of consonants, not of vowels or syallables. "Osama Obama Mama" is a RHYMING play on words. "Mitt's Macaca Moment"--now, THAT'S alliteration!

11. Willard? And "Mitt" was the best nickname he could come up with?
That alone casts aspersions on his judgment!

8. I didn't know that Chelsea now owns the Museum of
Modern Art! Now I know that I need to re-visit there. *sigh* Typical freeps-shouldn't that be "Momma"? (And "Obama Osama"? My, so clever and witty.) And what is that half-wit Romney doing with that sign? Please let this be Mitten's "Macaca" moment.

16. Seriously, If a leading Dem Candidate had held up a sign casting
dispersions upon a GOP candidate, would people here be in such a lather...

I don't know, it's politics...

One side wins....

The other side looses...

In the immortal words of Claude Raines...

I am shocked, I tell you, shocked that there is politics involved with politics...
