What if the wingnut blogs asked the questions at the Youtube debate? by John Cole. Very funny.

I’m a completely independent, undecided voter, and my question is, can you explain why Democrats hate America?

Hugh Hewitt- Mr. Romney, how much worse than Osama bin Laden are the Democrats? A lot, a whole lot, or oodles?

Red State- Mr. Giuliani, if Obama is elected, will he declare defeat in Iraq and withdraw our troops before surrendering to Iran, or will he surrender to Iran first?

John Hindraker- Mr. Thompson, in the past I said the following about President Bush:

“It must be very strange to be President Bush. A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius, he can’t get anyone to notice. He is like a great painter or musician who is ahead of his time, and who unveils one masterpiece after another to a reception that, when not bored, is hostile.”

Demonstrate to me that you possess the same level of brilliance- please spell CAT.

You are invited to post your own...be sure and read the comments...there are some hysterical "questions" there.

(Actually, it probably won't be to different if they let the 26% ask questions.)

1. Nice find

:rofl:

2. Actually, that could very well happen

Don't forget that the Rethugs have their own answer to Youtube as well as Wikipedia.

But of course, their real problem is that they want to retain their precicous "message discipline" no matter how stupid it makes them look. At the debate on MSNBC, I half expected Regan's ghost to float out of that replica of Air Force One and declare HIS candidacy. And I wonder if any of them considered it a "ridiculous exercise" when Tweety asked if it would be "dangerous" for Clinton to be back in the White House.

5. one theory on why they won'd do a youtube debate is if the questions come from the 26%

it will completely freak the rest of us out. Josh had a discussion last week about it saying imagine questions like: Do you believe in the rapture?" Which of course is what those nuts want but the rest of us think is over the edge.

But I wonder if they are sophisticated enough to know if they take questions from their base the rest of the world will recoil in horror? If so, they are more jaded than I imagined. It is their base who should be outraged they won't take questions from "us".

I think they are stuck with Rudy. Rumors abound today that the shine is going off Freddy pretty fast. (He didn't raise as much money as ppl thought he would, he's having staffing troubles and ppl are freaking that he didn't declare when he said he would...fourth of July...and he keeps slipping the date. Now it is rumored to be mid September. There are some who think he really is as lazy as we all thought he was and will not declare.)

Any chance for Clark this year? Clark Obama is MY dream team too.

3. Very interesting......Cole has really come around.

I note that he has quite a list of progressive blogs linked. He was always one of the more honest conservative bloggers out there....seems he knows that the current Republican Party is no longer a vehicle for principled conservative politics.

4. I'm embarassed to admit that early on I thought it was a typo when ppl talked about John not Juan

but when I linked to John I freaked out! Now, it sounds like he's come around to Andrew Sullivan's positions on many things (like the right wing blogosphere is mostly nutz...as are 26% of Amerians).
