How Low Can A Punk Get

It’s becoming more and more obvious that the Clinton machine can’t stoop low enough into the slime in order to destroy their opponents.  You have the race-splitting “red phone” ad released in the Texas primary which basically conveyed the message that black America is a threat to national security.  Compound that with the less conspicuous “darkened debate” and NH lawn jockey ads.  And don’t tell they’re not drooling over the all the ways they can separate the white and black vote.  They have over 100 years (from Birth of a Nation to Willie Horton) time-tested strategies to choose from and they’re like kids in a candy store with that shit.   

Once again, in true form she’s managed to summon up enough insolence to compare herself to McCain in experience, saying that only they deserve to be President. Can somebody please fill me in on what the hell experience she has… please, it’s about as mysterious as her tax returns or the millions in campaign funds that magically appear in her coffers via Bill Clinton’s Saudi Cash Club, I mean Library. 

“I think you'll be able to imagine many things Senator McCain will be able to say,” she said. “He’s never been the president, but he will put forth his lifetime of experience. I will put forth my lifetime of experience. Senator Obama will put forth a speech he made in 2002.”

Well, if I remember correctly, only last week she was swooning over possibility of having Obama on her fantasy ticket- one heartbeat away from the Oval Office.  If I were Howard Dean I’d tell her shut the fuck up.  But then again Dean’s another pussy-assed Democrat.

You have to admit, suggesting that he would make a good VP when he's beating her took some balls.

This could end bad. If the Dems actually allow the SuperDels to override the popular vote, there's gonna be riots.

[jackie]

Go get 'em, Champ.

Now, that, is what I'm talking about.

[Mr. Kruger]

If the Dems actually allow the SuperDels to override the popular vote, there's gonna be riots.

Actually, we want the delegate count to be the determinant because Obama pretty much has that wrapped up. But the DNC still decides who they want and that's where the danger is, via backroom deals.

Geraldine Ferraro is your latest doing the Clinton's racial bidding:

"Clinton campaign finance committee member, former vice presidential candidate, and former Rep. Geraldine Ferraro, D-NY, told the Daily Breeze of Torrance, Ca., that, "If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept."

[Ocho Ocho]

Oh no she did not! She ought not be throwing stones with her family history.

[Aaron]

Wow - Geraldine is taking it to the extreme. We go from "America is not ready to vote a black man into office" to "America is only voting for him because he's black, therefore he should not win" in one election? Damn! White folks get nothing held against them for being white 42 prezzes, and now we can't get one solid campaign in before the reverse racism is giving us unfair advantages?

That sucks. Only in America can you go from being fire-hosed at the white's only diner to taking advantage of preferential treatment for leader of the free world in one generation...

[Cozmo]

Dude, How about the fact that the girl in the 3AM call video is acutally a Ward Capitain for Obama? That Kills me!

http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/news/politics/blog/2008/03/3_am_call_clintonad_actress_ge.html

It also kills me that Jon Stewart is the one who is repsonsible for finding this out, whereas the "non-fake" media fails us again.

The ironies are coming fast and thick this week on the AofG.

[Mr. Kruger]

Geraldine Ferraro

I was just reading that. Pretty fucked up.

And you know the Clinton campaign leaked that photo last month of Obama in turban when he was in Africa. When 60 minutes reporter Steve Kroft asked if she thought Obama was a muslim she said,

“No. No, there is nothing to base that on. As far as I know...” with a shit-eating grin on her face. 100% sewerage.

So now you can expect them to build on this muslim smear of Obama. Because they know the fucking morons of this country view anyone who doesn't wear a baseball cap as a terrorist.

The GOP is already riding it out.

"Steve King, a Republican Iowa congressman, said on Friday that terrorists will be "dancing in the streets" if Mr Obama is elected president."

I love the Bad Brains refernce in the title of this post.

Re: reverse racism

I've always had a problem with that term. Could someone define it for me.

Because it insinuates that racism is the norm and for it to be reversed is a bad thing. I know this is not the case but I really could use some help on this.

This campaign season has taught me many things but the one thing that stands out is the following:

-If you are white, even when you are loosing you can offer second place to the black guy who's ahead of you.

-First it was red states vs. blue states. Now it's big states vs. little states. What's the difference?

-Being married to the President of the U.S. give you experience. Wow maybe all a feminist needs to do is marry a man that has power. Isn't that what feminism teaches us?? (I KIDD I KIDD)

[Dr. Strangejazz]

"This campaign season has taught me many things but the one thing that stands out is the following:"

I should have said three things.

[jackie]

"If you are white, even when you are loosing you can offer second place to the black guy who's ahead of you."

You think that has to do with race? That is sad.

[Art Vandelay]

Actually, we want the delegate count to be the determinant because Obama pretty much has that wrapped up.

I thought that there was a chance that if neither candidate would reach the required number of delegates (mostly due to that Florida/Michigan thing) that they would allow the Super Delegates to decide it (of which Bill Clinton is one).

[Dr. Strangejazz]

"You think that has to do with race? That is sad."

Re: jackie

If you look at it on the surface it doesn't because it can be explained as political gamesmanship.

But there is an underlined racial thing to her offering him second place when he's ahead. I don't think she would have been so quick to do that if it was John Edwards.

[jackie]

"But there is an underlined racial thing to her offering him second place when he's ahead. I don't think she would have been so quick to do that if it was John Edwards."

If that's what you think, then that's what you think. Fair enough.

Agree to disagree.

[daveNYC]

"Steve King, a Republican Iowa congressman, said on Friday that terrorists will be "dancing in the streets" if Mr Obama is elected president."

I'll be in that neck of the woods next week. If I see King, I'll punch him in the nuts for everyone.

[Mr. Kruger]

I thought that there was a chance that if neither candidate would reach the required number of delegates (mostly due to that Florida/Michigan thing) that they would allow the Super Delegates to decide it (of which Bill Clinton is one).

He's ahead by 119 delegates which means it's nearly impossible to catch him at this point especially with Wyoming and Mississippi looking to go his way. She'd have to blow him out in every state- not happening. By the way, they tied in Texas. Where's shitty media on that!

[jackie]

"...especially with Wyoming...looking to go his way."

Check out Kruger all the way out there on that limb.

The man likes to live dangerously.

[Mr. Kruger]

The man likes to live dangerously.

I'm telling ya she can't catch him. Only the Party can save her and between the Ferraro remarks and the McCain love she's looking well-fucked.

[jackie]

"I'm telling ya she can't catch him. Only the Party can save her and between the Ferraro remarks and the McCain love she's looking well-fucked."

I'm 100% sure you missed my point.

(I do approve of the use of the term "well-fucked," however. Entirely under used.)

[Art Vandelay]

Wow. Ummm...I understand completely that it's almost impossible for her to catch him but I though that it was also possible for neither of them to get the required 2,025 at which point they'd either have to make Florida and Michigan vote again or go to the SuperDels.

[Jack Klompus]

"We go from "America is not ready to vote a black man into office" to "America is only voting for him because he's black, therefore he should not win" in one election?"

I disagree. As outlandish as Ferraro's statement was, there is a small shred of truth to it. First off, the reason Obama is in this position is because he's articulate ("he speaks so well, he's so well spoken"), vibrant, dynamic, and above all else, likable -- he's an impressive person, even if you disagree with most of his policies. If he were a white man or a woman of any color, it's most likely he'd still be the frontrunner. However, let's not pretend that his being black doesn't add some incentive for some voters. Not only does he take more of a percentage of the black vote, he also inspires a higher black voter turnout than Hillary ever could. In addition, you have the "white guilt" community. Whether they want to admit it or not, there's a large number of white Democrats and Independents that see this as an opportunity. An opportunity to bury the issue of racism -- "See, there's no more racism. We elected a black President. There should be no more complaining." Of course I'm aware that many voters are not voting for Obama because he's black. However, when you limit that to the Democratic party, I think you have advantage Obama. Which also brings up an interesting point: isn't the Democratic party the one that prides itself on diversity and equality? Vandelay, does this qualify as irony? Or is more Kornheiserony?

[Art Vandelay]

You had me then you lost me.

Pops and buzzes.

[Jack Klompus]

"Pops and buzzes."

Son, there aint no draft. There was one?

[Dr. Strangejazz]

I totally understand Ferraro's comments.

They come from a place called stupidity and ignorance IMO.

Even if you believe something like that you should never say it to the press cause they will just take your quote out of context.

And now she's trying to explain herself? It's a rookie mistake.

Goes the same for that woman who called Hillary a monster. Never say something stupid to the press even if you think it's off the record.
