fox news = far right "hardcore" repubs u moron...
fox news as a source =
get it right
also...obama was SMART on publishing alot of his life on a book...that way the right side couldnt use it againt him...
what do we know about this woman??!?! NOTHING...
shes a heartbeat away from being president...and youre ok with that??
i thought "country first" was your motto?
get real douchebag...give it up..
sticks and stones bro. what are you, 16 years old? You can't have a discussion without calling someone a d-bag or stupid? anyway, anything that's to the right of San Francisco politics you probably consider "far right". Fox News dominates the other networks with ratings because people want to see some semblence of equal coverage, and not so much negativity like on the other ones. How about your boy Obama having his campaign call fox news to ask if they'd be interested in having Obama on the O'reilly Factor tomorrow? Obama knows he's gotta make the play. I'm sure that will go up your ass a mile, having your candidate "legitimize" the devil network.

Oh its on now!!
ing GOP,,,, WTF were they thinking ???
quote:
When asked by Wolf Blitzer what he thought of the speech and how, it became obvious that the redness was from tears, not of joy but of anger.
Roland's response: This is a rough paraphrase--if anyone gets video please post it occurred at 11:50 pm.
Wolf: what did you take from the speech and how can Obama/Biden
Roland: Let me just say all of this talk of Biden dancing aorund going after Palin in the debates, is over. I say go after her. Now how would or should Obama respond? Let me get to the point in Palin's speech that she mocked "community organizers". My 2 parents are sitting home in Houston, Texas and they are both community organizers and the GOP and Sarah Palin might have well have said "being community organizers doesnt matter" to my parents face. Im disgusted. Community organizers keep people in their homes, keep their lights on, keep food in the fridge. The GOP wants to talk about small town issues, well being a community organizer, addresses just that. So what did I hear from the speech--this is a quote from Roland, "The GOP doesnt give a flying flip about community organizers"
During his whole passioned rant, he was visibly angry and upset that he had watched someone belittle what his parents had done to raise him and help others there whole lives.
I have to agree. If the GOP want to talk about small town issues, thats fine. But dont get up and diss the very people who are "in the trenches", actually organizing. And especially dont do it, when youre campaign is touting you as someone who understands small town America. And really dont do it after your campaign has had you sequestered for a week, claim sexism at any legit question youre asked, and write 75 percent of your speech.
This isnt Alaska anymore. Youre up against a CHICAGO politician. Its a little different in the lower 48
Updated: The video just came through my interweb tube
Just can't wait to ask my old man who is a community organizer in Houston how he feels now about his beloved GOP ...
I bet he is just as pissed..

The "dominate" other networks because CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, and the networks all split the moderate, independent, and liberal viewers, while Fox more or less has a monopoly on conservatives.

Honestly, I only briefly considered working for Americorps, and Palin + Giuliani had me seething angry last night too. This quote really sums it up:

The disdain they showed last night revealed a lot to me about their party... it's so out of touch with reality that they'll do anything to pander to the nutjobs in the base - so long as it divides the country into some sort of cultural war that they believe they can win.

It makes me really happy that the Obama campaign released a statement to supporters in the middle of the night about the community organizer bull:
quote:
I wasn't planning on sending you something tonight. But if you saw what I saw from the Republican convention, you know that it demands a response.
I saw John McCain's attack squad of negative, cynical politicians. They lied about Barack Obama and Joe Biden, and they attacked you for being a part of this campaign.
But worst of all -- and this deserves to be noted -- they insulted the very idea that ordinary people have a role to play in our political process.
You know that despite what John McCain and his attack squad say, everyday people have the power to build something extraordinary when we come together. Make a donation of $5 or more right now to remind them.
Both Rudy Giuliani and Sarah Palin specifically mocked Barack's experience as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago more than two decades ago, where he worked with people who had lost jobs and been left behind when the local steel plants closed.
Let's clarify something for them right now.
Community organizing is how ordinary people respond to out-of-touch politicians and their failed policies.
And it's no surprise that, after eight years of George Bush, millions of people have found that by coming together in their local communities they can change the course of history. That promise is what our campaign has been about from the beginning.
Throughout our history, ordinary people have made good on America's promise by organizing for change from the bottom up. Community organizing is the foundation of the civil rights movement, the women's suffrage movement, labor rights, and the 40-hour workweek. And it's happening today in church basements and community centers and living rooms across America.
Meanwhile, we still haven't gotten a single idea during the entire Republican convention about the economy and how to lift a middle class so harmed by the Bush-McCain policies.
It's now clear that John McCain's campaign has decided that desperate lies and personal attacks -- on Barack Obama and on you -- are the only way they can earn a third term for the Bush policies that McCain has supported more than 90 percent of the time.
But you can send a crystal clear message.
Enough is enough. Make your voice heard loud and clear by making a $5 donation right now:
Thank you for joining more than 2 million ordinary Americans who refuse to be silenced.

Again... when it was Al Gore's son getting arrested, silence.. and nobody blaming him for the mistakes his son was making. When it was CLinton running, Chelsea was off limits. Nobody has questioned Obama's ability to "parent" with 2 young daughters at home while he's spent 19 months travelling around campaigning for president. This witch hunt against Palin and her family is so grotesquely overdone, it's unbelievable. It will backfire. Mark my words.
1. Al Gore's son was 21 when he was arrested, legally an adult. Palin's daughter is 17. Secondly, Palin is an outspoken advocate of "abstinence only" sex education, something that obviously didn't work in her daughter's case and makes it that much more of an issue. (Politician supports a policy that doesn't work for her own children.)
2. I'm sure if Chelsea had done something, we'd have all heard about it. Being "off limits" is completely different than simply not doing anything to get your name spread around media outlets.
3. Obama has two healthy daughters that have been with him as much as possible. Palin has 5 children, the youngest of which has Down's syndrome. It seems the issue that most people raise is how quickly she returned to work after giving birth to the Down's syndrome child, a condition rife with possible congenital defects, as well as how careless she appeared to be during its birth in terms of delaying medical care after her water broke. I don't hear this point brought up nearly as much as the other two, but I'm sure if one of Obama's daughters had an abnormality and he put his children in danger because of his career, we'd hear the same.
