If anyone is "radical" in this election it is Sarah Palin. Hell McCain's own advisers call her a crazy moonbat

10/30/2008 9:26:59 AM

I can't wait to hear all of the intriguing back biting that will take place between McCain and Palin after they lose on Tuesday. Much like in '04 how we heard that Edwards and Kerry disliked each other or some such.

10/30/2008 9:33:50 AM

it's already started. i suspect mccain will bury palin though.

She's pretty much already done that to herself.

23% of Texans think obama is a muslim.

ha, republicans

10/30/2008 2:28:41 PM

if my last name was lebowitz, im sure 99% of you would be certain that im a jew

his name is barak hussein obama

this is not a stretch

10/30/2008 2:30:50 PM

I guess we can assume you're a faggot then.

10/30/2008 2:32:03 PM

clever!

10/30/2008 2:32:28 PM

dude, don't try and excuse them. this man has been on tv every day for about two years now. if you still think he's a muslim it's because you're a paranoid-closet-racist. there's no excuse for that.


and the people who think he's a muslim also dislike him for his associations with a reverend.

so which is it?

last time i checked, muslims don't have reverends.



v what? anyone who has followed the primaries up until today has heard of obama. he's been on the news pretty much nightly for a long period of time. democrats have heard of him since he gave his speech at the dnc for kerry, if not before then. and during all this time, it has been stated again and again that he is not a muslim, despite his "funny name." and if your too stupid to understand that, at least acknowledge that having a reverend (a reverend who's also been in the news) is usually indicative of christianity.

they're going to be torn between their racism and blind GOP support.

racism, right


how is it racism to assume a name like that is not muslim, if you were not informed better?

10/30/2008 2:51:24 PM

how can you possibly not be informed better? seriously. anybody with any miniscule bit of brain activity knows he isn't muslim.

mccain himself told supporters he wasn't.

[Edited on October 30, 2008 at 2:55 PM. Reason : ad]

10/30/2008 2:54:16 PM

because they use fox news to better inform themselves

10/30/2008 2:54:52 PM

So it's not racist per se. It's still incredibly ignorant- just as as it would be to call Chen Li a bhuddist name.

"how is it racism to assume a name like that is not muslim, if you were not informed better?"

as ^ said, making the assumption itself is not necessarily racist, but ignorant. But it is racist (or "religionist" or whatever) to make that assumption, and then make a values judgment based on that assumption, such as "Hussein is an arab name, therefore I think he's Muslim, therefore I will not vote for him for President or think he could be a good President"

10/30/2008 3:21:14 PM

^ This is not an issue of racism, it's stupidity.

These people are blatantly stupid, after all this time, to think Obama is a muslim. 1/5 of Texans are blatantly stupid, which represents probably 50% of the Republicans there. It's safe to say from that poll that 50% of Texas republicans are blatantly stupid people, which is close to what I would have expected anyway.

10/30/2008 3:50:19 PM

^ that's fine, i'll agree with you on that.
But take it a step further - I accept that 1/4 of Texans are completely ignorant, stupid and ill-informed by believing, somehow, that Obama is Muslim and/or Arab. That's ignorance.

But then what do they do with that belief? Am I to believe that even a small fraction of the people who believe that crap will then go on and vote for Obama? Or will they use that false-belief as a reason to vote against Obama? If so, then that's racist.

seriously, what kind of bizarro world campaign does he think he's running, where two supposed free-market Republicans claim to be the enemies of Big Oil and they paint the Democrat as friends of large industry?

"Charged campaign zaps Chapel Hill boy Posted: Today at 4:02 p.m. Updated: 30 minutes ago CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — The presidential campaign has electrified the nation, and one Chapel Hill boy literally got jolted by it. The 9-year-old boy got a shock Monday from a campaign sign that a neighbor had hooked up to the power source for an electric pet fence. The neighbor, Shawn Turschak, said he was tired of people stealing McCain-Palin campaign signs from his yard, so he rigged two signs up as booby traps. "I was just furious," he said. His neighbor, Marion Houser, said she's also had a McCain-Palin sign stolen from her yard. "You have to clearly walk up the driveway to have gotten the sign," Houser said. Turschak, who has a degree in electrical engineering, said the current that ran through his electrified signs was so low it wouldn't hurt someone, but he also put yellow warning signs up. "Obviously, we are not looking to hurt anyone. We simply want our signs to say put," he said. "(The warning sign) just reminds you that you are touching somebody else's property that you shouldn't be." He mounted a surveillance camera in a nearby tree and captured video of the 9-year-old getting shocked by one sign. The boy was carrying a sign for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama at the time. "It is obvious from the video that he was coming to remove my sign and replace it with his," Turschak said. The boy's father, Andrew Noble, upset that his son had been shocked, showed up at Turschak's door. Soon, an Orange County deputy also showed up at Turschak's home. Noble said his son just wanted to see how the sign was put together. Orange County Sheriff Lindy Pendergrass said he doesn't plan to file charges. The boy's mother said her son knows better than to remove a campaign sign, but she said Turschak's decision to electrify the signs was a bit extreme. Turschak turned off the electrical system, but he caught another neighbor on camera Wednesday afternoon stealing his signs. Some neighbors suggested the area where Turschak posted the sign belongs to the subdivision. He maintained it was his property and said people should respect his right to express his opinion even if they don't agree with his views. "I could ride around Chapel Hill with a dump truck and in two hours fill it up with Obama signs," he said. "I choose not to do that.""

"Palin spoke after touring Xunlight Corp., one of a handful of solar technology startup companies in Toledo, a struggling industrial city in this swing state. The city's leaders are hoping that the solar companies will create jobs to replace some of those lost by downsizing in the auto industry. But Palin made only a passing reference to solar power in her speech and instead renewed her call for more drilling in U.S. coastal waters. She repeated her signature anthem, "drill, baby, drill," which seemed to fall a bit flat on the audience at the plant even as it's become a popular chant at her rallies. "
