Then go read this.
For those who want to know what they are clicking on first. It’s a rather long and quite idiotic posting, by a Conservative Blogger, attempting to prove that Barack Obama is really the son of Malcolm X.
Yes, they went there.
No wonder that the Conservatives are losing, not only the election. But the intellectual debate.
I’m ashamed to even be a Conservative minded person right now. 🙁

This further increases my sinking feeling that McCain does not have a prayer.
From the Economist:
IT IS impossible to forecast how important any presidency will be. Back in 2000 America stood tall as the undisputed superpower, at peace with a generally admiring world. The main argument was over what to do with the federal government’s huge budget surplus. Nobody foresaw the seismic events of the next eight years. When Americans go to the polls next week the mood will be very different. The United States is unhappy, divided and foundering both at home and abroad. Its self-belief and values are under attack.
For all the shortcomings of the campaign, both John McCain and Barack Obama offer hope of national redemption. Now America has to choose between them. The Economist does not have a vote, but if it did, it would cast it for Mr Obama. We do so wholeheartedly: the Democratic candidate has clearly shown that he offers the better chance of restoring America’s self-confidence. But we acknowledge it is a gamble. Given Mr Obama’s inexperience, the lack of clarity about some of his beliefs and the prospect of a stridently Democratic Congress, voting for him is a risk. Yet it is one America should take, given the steep road ahead.
I can tell you right now, there are many wealthy people, who read this magazine and it’s distributorship is to many Conservatives. I look for many Conservatives to cross the aisle and vote Democrat.
From The Economist’s Political Blog Democracy in America:
And, by the way, he will probably get it. Here’s to hoping Mr Obama’s moderate and sensible side wins over his primary-season, protectionist-populist side.
I bet there’s a good number of people betting on that hope. But I highly doubt that Obama is going to do anything extreme during his tenure as President.
Anyhow, it was a very interesting endorsement.
That’s what Michelle Malkin is reporting.
Who would have thought…. wow.
I always did like this version of “Walk this way”
I saw this last night and I had to let out a snort….
This from a story about Barack Obama about his supposed Birth Certificate forgery. Which has been disproven by Factcheck.org and WorldNetDaily both.
This comes via the very far right wing NewsWithViews:
“If Obama becomes president he will eventually be exposed as a fraud, but it will be too late. The Democrat Party will have control of both houses of Congress and the White House. And too many Republicans have become big-spending liberals who are willing to go along with a socialist agenda as long as they keep their jobs,” adds Mike Baker.
“These will be dangerous times, mark my words: the police and the military will be used against American citizens. Think of Waco, Texas, but on a national scale,” warns Det. Frances.
“An Obama presidency may be the beginning of the end of the US Constitution,” he said.
The story that I quoted also tries to say that the Sheriff, a one Mike Scott who referred to Barack Obama by his full name, was visited by the FBI. That is totally false. He was investigated by his own Dept. for engaging in politics, while in uniform. Which is against the law.
But the real stand out quote is the one above. One would have to disconnect their normal functional brain to believe something as absurd as that. At the most, some fringe groups on the Right and possibly on the far left, might and I do say MIGHT have a problem. Although, I highly doubt that Obama as President would start going after anyone at all.
Why do I say this? Because Obama is going to be elected, much to consternation of the Conservatives and the Republican Party. Do you think for one lousy second that Obama is going to actually do anything at all, that would be considered political suicide?!?!?! Come on now, Use your Brain, Please! 🙄
It is no wonder that Joe Farah of WorldNetDaily.com, kicked Paul Walter’s sorry butt to the curb long ago. (Paul Walter is the owner of NewswithViews.com)
The Crunchy Con and Steven Waldman Both report that people in Texas and Kentucky still believe that Obama is a Muslim
However, it seems that the hate has not escaped the crunchy con Blog either.:
joeOctober 30, 2008 12:00 PMNah, he’s just a nigger. Never did nothing, but because he’s a porch monkey, he’ll get elected.
Nice. If Obama looses, it will be because of mental midgets like this. 🙄
Funny thing is, he has not even removed that comment…..and he’s a Christian????!?! 😮
Kathryn Jean Lopez over at the Corner wonders aloud….:
“Is Team Obama Worried McCain Will Pull It Out?“
Nah, Kathy at his age, I doubt he has to even worry about that anymore. Hell at his age, I doubt he can even get it up!
😆
*snort* I haven’t laughed that hard in a while. hehe!

They ripped his 30 minute “Elect me or the World will go to hell and a hand basket” infomercial to shreds.
Man, I can understand Fox News, but the AP?!?! Wow. 😮
Michael Crowley over at TNR’s “The Stump” observers the following:
Watching MSNBC coverage of Obama’s rally in Raleigh, NC, I’m struck by this line from his stump speech:
When Bill Clinton was president your average wages and incomes went up $7,500. Under George Bush it went dow $2,000. So if I’ve get economic theories that are similar to Bill Clinton’s, and [McCain’s] got economic theories that are similar to George Bush’s–you can look and see which one worked and which didn’t.
Remember when he was running against the Clinton years?
It’s called wanting to get elected. Barry knew that if he didn’t suck up to Hillary and Bill who represent the “old 1990’s guard” of the Democratic Party, he’d never get elected. Plus, maybe Bubba wants to reign in on the Puma’s.
Although, it is a humorous thing to watch two people sucking up to one other, after ripping on one another weeks before. 😀
Via TNR’s “The Stump”:
US citizens living in Israel line-up to cast their ballots as they vote early for the US Presidential elections at a cultural centre in Jerusalem on October 28, 2008. A poll conducted by the Rabin Center for Israel Studies found that 46.6% of Israelis would vote for Republican nominee John McCain if given chance to elect a US president, while Democrat Barack Obama would receives 34% of votes. Others remained undecided. (MENAHEM KAHANA/AFP/Getty Images)
Not a big surprise. Jewish voters have always favored the Republicans because of thier pro-Isreal stance. Nice Photo too. 🙂
Charles Johnson over at the Neo-Conservative Little Green Footballs is wondering aloud Obama’s “Civilian National Security Force“:
The Department of Defense’s current base budget is close to $500 billion. So if he meant that promise, he plans on a total defense budget of about a trillion dollars.
What exactly is Obama planning to do with a “civilian force” with such an astronomical level of funding?
A good question that I would like to know as well. But all this posturing and guessing and scaremongering is for naught. Because first off, there is no way in hell that there is going to be a Democratic “Super-Majority”. No way, no how, there’s too many damn right leaning states for that to happen and no damn Conservative Senator or Representative, worth their salt, is going to sit idly by and allow Obama to pass a bill enacting something like this, ever.
You ask what If I’m wrong? Well, I could be, it might just get passed, but let me clue you in on something. The first time one of these “Civilian National Security Force” officers walks up on someone who’s “Bitter and Clingy” and they haul off and empty a clip into one of those officers and he dies. Then the Government will get sued by the family. When that happens the program will be scrapped.
But I have a sneaking suspicion that this program will never, ever get out of congress, because first off, look at the insurance money the Government would have to put on each one of these officers, then they’d have to get them gun training, if the Government even allows them to be armed. (Knowing Liberals like I do, they would not be…) If they did not allow them to be, the only thing they’d be is glorified rent-a-cops.
So, I think much of the guessing and worrying about this is for no reason. Because it is not going to happen. Just chalk it up to one of Barry’s Promises to get elected. Which he will do and American will have to suffer for 4 to 8 years of Hyper-or Neo-Liberal rule. Thanks Bush! 🙄
