February 12, 2008

From Houston Fox News:

"The office featured in this video is funded by volunteers of the Barack Obama Campaign and is not an official headquarters for his campaign."

1. As some of us tried to point out yesterday

K&R

[Cant trust em]

2. I hope people buy that excuse in November

This is an easy target for the GOP attack machine.

3. Unfortunately, that distinction will mean little to the rw. See the Pledge "controversey" .

10. You mean the one spread by people working on the clinton campaign

The irony here is that people on the hillary campaign have been fired for spreading the obama is a muslim email... yet there is a grass roots office ... not officially tied to the obama campaign and you are blaming him...

If we blamed everything supporters have done on the candidates then we would never vote for anyone. At least they aren't super delegates ... telling white people they aren't ready to vote for a black man... (see rendell)

11. WTF are you talking about? Whose blaming Obama? I am talking about the rw?

Ya know the right wing that spread around the email about Obama not putting his hand over his heart?

Ya know the right wing that invented the Obama is a Manchurian Muslim candidate email?

Ya know the right wing that doesn't care about actual truth but loves the half truthiness qualities in their smears like this one has?

"If we blamed everything supporters have done on the candidates then we would never vote for anyone"

No shit. Especially one like yourself.

4. What was the inappropriate flag?

Confederate?

5. Cuban.

7. Cuban flag with Che photo super-imposed over it.

6. Because it shows an Obama poster next to the flag

ANd the folks are wearing Obama stickers.

8. note to Obama Supporters in the field: be careful you represent someone other than yourself

In Savannah, we were warned to be polite and be cautious because our actions would reflect back on Obama.

9. Gosh, that might be good advice to supporters of all candidates

even on DU.

No.. that would be too much to expect.

:nuke: 'em every chance you get, then start sucking up after the nomination.
