Jesus! The Obama-haters need to switch to decaf today.
I logged on today and this is the greatest level of hysteria I've ever seen here. Wright this. Wright that. We're all going to die. Panic. Terror. Awfulness. Etc., etc., etc.

Of course, it could be that the hysteria is completely manufactured, because time is running out for Hillary to effectively paint Obama as "unelectable." But it's not like Hillary Clinton or any of her surrogates to engage in such phony, cynical bullshit out of pure political expedience, is it?

Obama has more elected delegates than Hillary, and she can't overcome that. Her ONLY chance is to somehow convince the superdelegates that Obama is unelectable. She has no other way of getting nominated. That's it. So it should come as no surprise that all of the "concern" over Jeremiah Wright should get pushed into overdrive today.

It's manufactured horseshit, period. Obama just needs to maintain for the next six weeks and then this thing is over. The only way Hillary Clinton can get the nomination at this point is by lofting grenades. she has nothing else.

Don't fall for it.

7. No, it's the exact same people that it's been for a month.
All that's changed today is the level of hysteria. Otherwise, it's the usual suspects.

38. yes, because Wright is running for president and the people of this
country are too stupid to know that he's just someone Obama knows, not Obama. :sarcasm:

Dream on.

3. Oh they're not haters... they're just ever so 'concerned'
that we'll lose due to Wright.

Just ignore those Bosnia lies (all what... four of them? five?) and the NAFTA lies, and the fact that she's now glomming onto McCain's pandering about repealing the gas tax... just ignore all that.

Pay attention to what Obama's pastor is doing... like the M$M says to... cause THAT is damning stuff!

Two Big 'ole TITTIES!



Obama Is A Mac Daddy
Posted by Kevin
Published: March 23, 2008 - 1:49 AM

Tired of all the hoopla surrounding Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Barak Obama? Pastor James David Manning, PhD. of the ATLAH World Missionary Church in Harlem has an entirely different take on Barak Obama.

Here's the quotable part...

"Obama is a mac daddy. Obama pimps white women and black women. He got started - you didn't notice him until he brought out those big chested white women with their tight t-shirts and their short pants! That's what a pimp does! Ahhh come on!! You don't get your campaign started with a big chested white woman! She must be a 54 D! Double D! And a pair of shorts on. That's what started his campaign! He put his name on two big 54 D's! Obama!! That's where you first saw his name! That's the first place I saw it, on two great big ol' tits! He's a mac daddy! He pimps white women and black women! Obama is a long-legged mac daddy!"

Hillary Clinton and Sun Myung Moon: A Strategic Catastrophe

Sun Myung Moon's Universal Peace Television web site has a video with testimonials for the Universal Peace Federation (UPF) from several prominent politicians and world leaders. The dignitaries are mostly foreign leaders: President Umaru Yar'Adua of Nigeria; President Pratibha Patil of India; President Óscar Arias of Costa Rica; Speaker of the Philippines House of Representatives, Jose de Venecia, Jr.; and former Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone. The video included one prominent American politician, Senator Hillary Clinton who is quoted as expressing the following sentiments: "I applaud the Universal Peace Federation's global networks of individuals and organizations committed to peace building through dialogue, education, and service." (hat tip to John Gorenfeld for the screen shot). Apparently, this quote was culled from the letter of support that Senator Clinton sent praising Moon's 2007 Universal Peace Federation Assembly (I reported on this last September).

Destructive Cults and the Insatiable Quest for Credibility
Destructive cults thrive on receiving plaudits from influential people, namely celebrities, industrialists, journalists, and politicians. There are many reasons for this--the most important is that an influential person's imprimatur is worth its weight in gold in terms of giving credibility to the group. The Church of Scientology is noted for recruiting Hollywood celebrities (the cult also uses politicians; when I visited the L. Ron Hubbard Life Exhibition, at the end of the tour was a display of letters and proclamations from prominent politicians). Amway has a rich history of cultivating close ties with Republican politicians (Of course with a business-related cult like Amway, there is the additional incentive of receiving corporate welfare from grateful legislators).

However, regarding the cultivation of ties with influential politicians, the Church of Scientology and Amway are pikers compared to Moon and the Unification movement. Not only has Moon established ties with the aforementioned world leaders, but he has made significant inroads in the American political system over the past thirty years. It would not be an exaggeration to posit that Moon is the most powerful lobbyist in the United States (quick note: Moon doesn't feel the need to register and report under the Lobbying Disclosure Act or the Foreign Agents Registration Act).

6. I can't imagine what DU would be like
if I took all 75 people off my ignore lists.
I'm sure I don't get to see the worst of the Obama-haters threads and it's pretty bad as it is.

12. They're actually kind of funny.
You should take everyone off ignore. I don't have anyone on ignore and let me tell you, the panicked HRC threads are what keep me coming back every day. They are laugh out loud funny.

17. I'd have to think long and hard about that.
Last Tuesday during the PA primary I saw what I wasn't missing... ugh! :scared:
Maybe when HRC finally leaves the race I'll do that though. The wailing and gnashing of teeth could be something that makes DU history. :)

When they all run amok getting it out of their system. I think ignore should be disabled for the entire week. It is going to be hilarious.

9. Like I said earlier
This is the media working overtime to orchestrate its Goebbels Effect, and it's clear on this board that it's worked like a charm for Hillary supporters. It's also sad to see it sucking in some of the Obama camp as well.

In my opinion, this is the same bullshit, different day. Resurrecting the Wright issue is the only thing the Clintonians and the media have left.

considerably worse.

19. BO can't dodge the truth anymore! He is being revealed for who he is!
There are too many people who just are not buying his rhetoric that his Pastor never spoke like that in the 20 years BO was sitting in the pew.

26. the energy level.....
when I first logged on this morning....it felt like a cyclone hit the place....
I read a lot of threads to try to find the substance for the tizzy....

and never found any.....

seems to be a total disconnect between what Wright actually said
and the reaction by some folks...

Edited on Mon Apr-28-08 05:22 PM by backscatter712
It's pretty damned obvious they're paid shills or freeper disruptors.

The patterns emerge after a while. It's clear they coordinate their attacks.

The mods need to put an end to this shit. Yet they won't because they're "theoretically" Democrats.
