Fox News on Obama

[H2O Man]

The Fox and Fiends Saturday Mourning program just featured a speciman named Michael Gallagher, who said that the MoveOn endorsement tends to prove Senator Obama is a radical, who is not to be trusted. He also brought up Obama's middle name as evidence that the country needs to consider the risk posed by this democratic contender for the presidency.

I'm not surprised to hear this type of shit, especially not on Fox. What was funny was the reaction: the others just laughed at him.

I'm not sure if our nominee will be Barack Obama, or Hillary Clinton (or possibly both on the ticket). But I do not think that the right-wing lunatics are going to get a lot of traction out of these talking points.

1. The middle name one is particularly hilarious.

My middle name is Lee, I must support slavery. :scared:

3. I was reminded

of some of the people here who had tried to pretend that Obama's middle name would be a huge issue. Luckily, I believe most of those jackasses have been tomb-stoned.

4. Once the GE starts (after nominations are locked that is), any crazy S* will

be repeated so much, it will get traction - with some. And I mean, any of our candidates being nominated. They are all careful now as Obama for them is the polite code of "we hate Hillary" and they don't want to mess that up just yet.

5. After the conventions,

the corporate news will attack the democratic nominee, and attempt to prop up the republican nominee. That will be true to the exact same extent, no matter which candidate each party selects.

9. Way before the conventions - kerry became a target the second he locked it

After Super Tuesday. he had less than 2 months honeymoon - less than Dean had had before him.

6. Michael Gallagher = Mike Savage on meds

Saturday morning on Fox News is when they have all the "experts" who can't get on TV any other time!

8. Ha!

You know, when I was watching this guy, I was wondering who the heck he was? Because he seemed almost familiar. Their faces change a little bit, but the peddlers of hate all sound closely related.

10. You know they have a list of those desperate to be there

>>>"Hey, McCain's guy cancelled. Who can we call in this late?"

"Is Victoria Toensig available?"

>>>"No, I think she's at Langley having her bolts tightened."

"How about Jane Wyman's kid, the one that claims he's Reagan's son but isn't?"

>>>"Mike Reagan? He's on the coast today drowning baby ducks in spilled oil."

"Then get me that guy Michael Gallagher. He'll show up any time!"

7. The talking points about his middle name are going

to backfire.
