McCain/Palin v. Obama/Biden

[GrobbeeTrull2.0]

How many "LOLZ I WAS DRUNK AND ON MEDZ" posts is Aychamo allowed to make before he gets called on his bullshit?

And why is a doctor drinking and taking meds that he knows will make him loopy? I call bullshit.

If Obama was a white man he would be sitting at home watching Hillary campaign for president.

If McCain was a black man he'd be sitting at home too.

I wish that were true

And a rich white man would still win the election.

When will you people learn?

Gore invented the internet, so repubies tend to stay away. Same reason that democrats don't use the Blackberry

Right now the only things Obama has going for him is he reads cue cards well and is black and probably attractive to white girls who date black guys to piss off mom n dad. Cant wait tosee Obama in the debates (if he doesnt wimp out) because then he will be off script. his uh and ums will be highlighted and then everyone will know him to be the retarded cue card reader he really is.
I just hope Oldie McOld doesnt make a complete ass of himself and ruin his chance of locking this up.

So what you're saying is that Obama will make a complete ass of himself and fuck it up unless McCain makes a complete ass of himself and fucks it up?

Your grasp of politics is staggering and your commentary riveting.

There are plenty of videos of Obama speaking off-the-cuff that highlight his speaking skills. You should try and watch those.

Ya, 'um' and 'uh' are very unattractive things to do.

I mean, they imply pauses in speaking for the formulation of actual thought. It's sound so much nicer if he could just have pre-programmed responses based on political ideology that he could draw on without pauses like, "Axis-of-Evil", "Hockey-Mom", "Fungible Molecules", "Right-to-life", or "I-hate-homos".

One can dream.

+internets, I totally agree.

McCain does fucking OWN Obama at being able to speak immediately without thinking about what he is saying. No "Ummmms" for the Mac Attack!

Except when, according to the article, Shiite are rendering Baghdad ethnically homogeneous by using force and intimidation that make Sunni leave the city, which is the exact definition of ethnic cleansing as used by the UN. You can of course contest the conclusions of the UCLA researchers, but attacking yahoo because they called a spade a spade (especially when it seems that particular spade comes straight from the UCLA report) is pretty much a fallacy.

Szilia, come on man. I don't think anybody implied they were 'going on vacation', so citing the exact opposite polarity of ethnic cleansing is just as ignorant.

My whole point is that the article is a typical sensationalist piece. The intracies of population redsitrubtion, fueled by violence on both sides, is not well understood by anyone yet and is an unfortunately obvious conclusion of re-shifting the balance of power. So yes, it's still a reflection of how naive the original invasion plans were and how there is great hatred among the Iraqis for themelves that is not easily solved.

But we did go in, we are there now and the flaws and negativity are well documented. Shifting of these groups away from each other might just be the best long term success plan there is for reducing violence, though that and the tension will never be fully removed (see the Kurds).

In any event printing articles like that and supporting that terminology is just stupid, and you are stupid for doing so. You can vehemently object to the war and our country and everything about us without bothering to defend such slanted media reports on what is actually happening. I will ask you again, did you honestly read that article? Did you see the evidence for population shifts, the numbers on absolute displacement, and the contrast with Uganda genocide? Come on, you know better.

What's sad is that some (a lot?) people see this as a positive point for the president of the US.

Awwww I butthurt Astro a little bit by making him sound like an ignorant little twat so he negged me.

Go back to wherever you came from please. At least Khorum has a bit of gray matter to rub together and expresses opinions worth more than the crud I scraped out from between my keyboard buttons this morning.

Go read a fucking book.

The funny thing about all you guys hating on aych's first post is that the typical blind hatred and derogtory statements are routinely hurled at Republicans and their supporters without a second thought.

I don't care about the severity of one insult vs. another or one type of racism vs. another, but shitting on one stereotype while you prop up another is pretty pathetic.

Then again reading most of your general posts, where you get your 'information' from and your understanding of society and it's problems it really doesn't shock me in the least. The new ignorance is being just smart enough to shit on the old ignornance, and nothing more. But keep throwing out terms like rednecks and white trash and crazy relgious fucks and take comfort that the vitriol and history behind them is not the same as other insults and thus it is ok to hate and stereotype in this way. After all, you guys are all about change right?
