Talked to a woman today so full fo hate for Obama she isn't going to vote for McCain now because he called Obama "respectable". She's just not going to vote at all. LMAO!!!

When the first source on today's Roy Cohn Award recipient came forward approximately six months ago, he and I decided to wait and see where the presidential election went and how this person's boss performed. Dismally.

First a multiple choice question: Which nominee for President of the United States is homophobic and has a gay chief of staff at his Senate office in Washington, DC?

John McCain
Barack Obama
If you guessed "B," you're in the wrong spot. You belong here. If you guessed "A," congratulations, you passed with flying colors.

The latest information on the outing of John McCain's Chief of Staff can be found at BlogActive. Also on the story is Sirius Radio host Michelangelo Signorile.

wonder who jerry COX @ AFC is voting for this election ??? sarah vp anit, semite SHE =George Wallace in heels or a gay friendly ............. john mccain ???

I worked with John Lewis back in 1966-67. He was rooted in the Christian religion, and his remarks about "sowing the seeds" reflects Jesus' Parable of the Sower, some of whose seeds feel on rocky soil, some on shallow soil were they were choked out by weeds, but some on good soil where they eventually bore fruit.

The McCain campaign ads, the Palin rallies, clearly cast Obama as someone to be suspected, feared, cast out. The fruit of those seeds became apparent when, e.g., a woman at one of the rallies said right out in front of John McCain and God and everybody, "He's a Muslim!" From her point of view that would be damnable, McCain knows that, shakes his head and takes back the microphone from her. And he verbalizes, contrary to his ads, that Obama is a "decent person" who should be "respected." So McCain now thinks he is victimized by John Lewis's pointing out that his earlier broadcast messages, approved by John McCain, may have deadly consequences?

How many folks have the slightest idea who Bill Ayers and Bernadette Dorhn are? Hear Sarah Palin screech about palling around with terrorists and the first thing too many folks think about is that e-mail they got 10 times since last Saturday. Obama is a Muslim. Obama sounds like Osama. His middle name is Hussein. He's . . . dark. He's not one of us. He's . . . He's . . .
Next thing you know somebody is yelling "Kill him!" at one of Miz Sarah's rallies. Now understand, Miz Sarah is well able to slice and dice a heckler -- if they're heckling her. So does she stop and tell the "Kill him!" fool that he's waaay out of line, that he might just have stepped over into felony territory? Huh uh. Tha's OK, folks. Tha's just politics.
But let an Obama supporter have a few choice words about what was tolerated at Palin rallies . . . well, whole 'nother ball game here, folks.
Do you get the idea that John McCain has lost control of his presidential campaign apparatus -- if he ever had control? The big question? Who is in control?

The official position of the Farm Bureau is that black people don't like dogs, so we've got common ground. As long as they don't get uppity.

FBC I happen to know two black farmers and they are uppity. However in your defense they are
not members of the FB.

They do take good care of their mules and when the time arrives they skin them, as it should be done, just after a fresh kill.

I would be interested to know the FB's guide or recommendations for killing mules.

One of the dudes simply ties the doomed mule up tightly and puts a .44 mag to his head.
Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 shots.

I'm of the opinion it should be done as certain prescription killings are done.
-Take the mule out by itself and chant gently like a song that soothes it.
-Slit its throat with a long razor-sharp sword causing the beast to drop to its knees while
blessing it. That way the mule's soul will not come back and haunt humans.

Anybody know what the penalty is for stealing yard signs? I've had two stolen from my yard this week. Republicans trying to suppress free speech, i.e., yard signs for Obama, is pretty low class.
Hubs says we'll see a cross burning in the front yard next.
I say I'm hooking up a security system tomorrow and nailing their asses.
Any good advice?

From Frank Rich in the NYT today:

No less disconcerting was a still-unexplained passage of Palin's convention speech: Her use of an unattributed quote praising small-town America (as opposed to, say, Chicago and its community organizers) from Westbrook Pegler, the mid-century Hearst columnist famous for his anti-Semitism, racism and violent rhetorical excess. After an assassin tried to kill F.D.R. at a Florida rally and murdered Chicago's mayor instead in 1933, Pegler wrote that it was "regrettable that Giuseppe Zangara shot the wrong man." In the '60s, Pegler had a wish for Bobby Kennedy: "Some white patriot of the Southern tier will spatter his spoonful of brains in public premises before the snow falls."

This is the writer who found his way into a speech by a potential vice president at a national political convention. It's astonishing there's been no demand for a public accounting from the McCain campaign. Imagine if Obama had quoted a Black Panther or Louis Farrakhan - or William Ayers - in Denver.
