Not only that Powell went all commie pink fag on me... sad world. The death of a nation is a sad thing indeed.

...commie pink fag on me... .

for the first time i laughed at your comment because you cannoy say that without it being tongue in cheek :P

The death of the fantasy nation of your mind that never really existed.

Embrace the fact that this isnt the end of the world. Prepare yourself for the fact that Obama is probably going to be a pretty damn good President. Every single time in this nations history that the times were dire and the need was great we have been blessed with a President that rose to the occasion and delivered what was needed.
Im sure you would have been crying in 1932 when FDR was elected, or have been ready to fight when Lincoln was elected, or called it the end of the world when Kennedy (A CATHOLIC FOR GODSAKE< A FUCKING PAPIST!) was elected.

The era of America is not over. In fact, with the election of this President and the break with the past that he represents a new era is dawning.

Im filled with hope, and Im filled with optimism and gladly toss away my cynicism and admire the greatness of America and courage and boldness of the people in our country.

You can sit in your dark corner and sulk, the rest of us are moving forward.

My only hope is for Bush to declair some kinda matial law and declare himself dictator. I shall not sulk though. There are many of us who will try and weaken Obama any way we can. We will take power where we can from your kind of people. Subverting power from the democratic base will be a fun endeavor. Although I fear this year all is all but lost have no fear a 4 year term of Obama is alllll that it will take to usher in a long reign of conservative rule as Jimmy peanut boy Carter did in his failed administration. Sleep well at night thinking about that one there L2 and the sissy boy.

is there some irony to a Bush supporter saying he wants to usurp power from the office?

if Bush took 5 (to give his actions a numerical value) from the people, and the people take 5 back its an even wash. So i support you OSi!!

$500 of that came from an organization that hired me to shoot a McCain ad (shudder).

Figured that they'd just find someone else to work on it, better to take McCain's money and give it to Obama.

I've done GOTV and other stuff for Obama, but never actually given money.

After reading Osg's dumb bullshit, I sent in ten bucks.

Thanks to you and yours Osg, for doing more than any ad or speech could ever hope to accomplish. If I ever find myself becoming complacent, I come read the dumb shit you write, or watch some youtube video of people calling Obama a Muslim terrorist, and my resolved is instantly renewed.

Fortunately, Republican strategists are too stupid and prideful to acknowledge that their 'us v. them' War of the Worlds mentality isn't attracting new voters, and is driving away independents like mad.

McCain ramps up the attacks, Obama gets more money.

Causation? Aside from some Freakonomics nonsense, I'd have to think so. Good thing most Republicans don't even know what that word means. :rolleyes:

Kennedy (A CATHOLIC FOR GODSAKE< A FUCKING PAPIST!)



I misread this at first glance to say Rapist, and I immediately wondered just what all went on during the PT Boat crews' stay on the island awaiting their rescue.

The thing you continue to miss here Osi is that many of us who are voting against McCain are Independent Conservatives who are 1) not willing to go through another Bush presidency by McCain who has spent his campaign imitating John Kerry and his famous flip-flops, and 2) not willing to support the slap in the face McCain gave us via his selection of Sarah Palin, who would truly destroy the country should McCain suffer some tragedy in office.

BLAH BLAH BLAH

Ban this idiot already. He's obviously devolved to complete troll status (Not that he was ever much more).

I'd be shocked if Osg actually believes anything he posts here.

He's just playing a part, like the rest of us. I wouldn't get too wound up about it.

Sure you have a justification though... but it won't matter. This time the majority of the country is against you :)

'The era of America is not over. In fact, with the election of this President and the break with the past that he represents a new era is dawning. '

- Unfortunately, great men can do little in the long-term against the sweeping themes and threads of time. Churchill could save Britain in war, but could not reverse the decline of the post-war period. Napoleon could dominate Europe, but in the end he could not conquer a continent.

I hope you guys heard Powell today... his reasoning was great. He also addressed the "is a muslim" thing and explained how much it bothered him that people aren't looking at it as "So what if he was a muslim".

He told a great story of a photo essay he saw in a magazine which had a picture of a mother in a cemetery with her head on her sons headstone. Her son had died in Iraq, and was 20 years old. On the top of the headstone was a Crescent star. The symbol of Islam. He was a Muslim American soldier who gave his life.

It seems Mr. Powell is disgusted with his own party for the direction they are taking us in every single way.

I heard Powell today, it was a great testament to clear thinking.

Jedd, you get too excited and angered about Osg, you need to understand him. Back in the '90s when Clinton was president along with a republican majority congress Osg had his welfare cut and he's mad now.

You must understand that he see's it that Clinton forced him to work and now instead of a trailer that is subsidized by the govt he now has to work and pay his rent. If this happened to you I think you would be pissed at Clinton and the possibility of another democrat as president also.

As I posted earlier in either this thread or another Osg is bi-racial, mexican mother and african american father, he has felt the pain of racism first hand and he is just venting here. So let him go and try and understand where he is at.

T_NMZv6Vfh8

The question is, what took Powell so long? Why wait until Obama's victory was inevitable?

denouncing your own party is pretty hard I assume.

Very, very well said bit by Powell. I still wish he had run, but he summed up his opinion of both candidates intelligently and without resorting to fear mongering.Why wait until Obama's victory was inevitable?I think it's strongly in his favor, but I couldn't call it a sure thing yet.

Stay Classy Osg.

Oh come on. That was in VERY poor taste and completely out of bounds. But how many of you /snickered at the audacity (to borrow a word) at the comment.

I thought it was funny coming from a black guy.

Oh come on. That was in VERY poor taste and completely out of bounds. But how many of you /snickered at the audacity (to borrow a word) at the comment.Not even remotely? But you are clearly showing yourself to be a troll, and I doubt your real views have anything to do with the nonsense you're spouting now.

with Osi's comments starting to long for Dante back

This is just lively discussion!

Speaking of lively discussion, another article appeared in today's paper trumpeting the $450k donated from folks across the country to Congressthing Bachman's opponent since 6pm Friday, which exceeds his previous 5 weeks worth of donations by over $100k.

And, also lively will be the discussion throughout the week of Colin Powell also bringing her up as an example of the divisiveness of the campaign season.

Funniest comment I heard about the Chris Mathews interview was that she was a bit early for Halloween makeup. Seems she is trying to become the dark-haired version of Ann Coulter.

Your black? Wonderful... That explains a ton about your spurious off kilter wild actions.

I don't think Byl is black, he posted a photo once. He didn't look black to me.

I'm wearing a black shirt right now...

It's been more than a month, get over it.

Wow Osi, no "Hiel Hitler!" at the end of your statement.:p

Seriously though, the thing that frightens me...and yes I know I'm giving in a bit to hate and fear the neo facists thrive on, is how so many of these types don't even realize how they are subverting every principal this country was built on.

It's been more than a month, get over it.

This.

Let me explain something to you Osi. Now sit down, and concentrate...umm, may be too big of a word for you, think real hard on the words in this post.

It's not funny because a good portion of the party you represent actually believe what you said. Your party caters to the hating, racist, fear mongering red neck. Keep following, I know it's hard, I realize not all Republicans are actually this way. The problem is the GOP caters to these types and doesn't condemn the ridiculous, hurtful, anti-American thoughts these types have....and catered to them with the insane appointment of Caribou Barbie.

'It's been more than a month, get over it.'

- Rofl Disc...too true :P

Hey, you get what you ask for.

Sorry, not following you in the slightest... Your words were far too long and numerous. Maybe when we have a a president who will not cater to terrorists or lie to is constituency or take peoples freedoms or give hand-out to every Mary-Jane rotten-crotch or johny methhead then maybe I'll be less hateful. Until then OBama is a Manchurian candidate here to destroy America. get that through you milimouthed milquetoast little brain of yours.

Christmas is coming up. I should buy you a copy of Ted Nugents new book. fantastic read. You might accidentally learn something.

Until then OBama is a Manchurian candidate here to destroy America. get that through you milimouthed milquetoast little brain of yours.

Well, if that's true it's news to your candidate, who has described him as an decent man:

"decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States."

...and on the "destroying America" stupidity, Mr. Bush and Chenney, have done more to destroy what this country was built on than anyone ever (case in point a 71% disapproval rating).

Lastly, I ask you to sit back and think about these words Osi, before you next hateful diatribe:

One nation, under god, indivisible, with justice and liberty for all.

I know you love to trade jibes and I give 'em back, but at times can you be serious and really try express some real thoughts on your positions. Decending into name calling verbal diarrea fests is getting old. Are you really that filled with hate for your fellow Americans?

Did you even SEE the Manchurian Candidate?

Its about a guy who was taken prisoner during a war in Asia and while he was a POW he was brainwashed by his captors

Hey, you get what you ask for.

You copped out last time I pointed this out, so I'll just repeat for you:

"If I ignore what people are actually asking for, and instead stop modding altogether, the forum will become filled with shit posts! And then I'll be able to show them they were wrong!!

Please don't insult us with that shit sanchek."

I'm sorry that people calling out your overbearing behavior and modding bruised your ego so much.

Osi, you have the balls to even begin to accuse Obama of taking away freedoms?

Bush was the forerunner for warrantless wiretaps and surveillance, and dont even get people started on Chaney's private office that apparently isnt subject to any law.

The Bush administration has abuse, twisted, and made a mockery of the constitution and this country more than a dark face in office could ever do.

Ive had my shitstorms with San.

But overall he does a pretty good job with this forum.

He does a damn good job of keeping the meta-discussion moving and stirring the pot at times when it needs it.

Does he delight at times in being an ass? Sure, but don't we all?

His normal good job with the forum is specifically what makes the dishonest and childish behavior so odd.

Does he delight at times in being an ass? Sure, but don't we all?

You came late. People were complaining about not enough moderation allowing threads to go to shit.

I fixed that, and the people who take threads to shit started whining.

If I'm going to get griefed either way, I'm going with the option that wastes the least of my time. So like I said, you guys get what you asked for.

If you find that "insulting", be less delicate.

The thing 'the guys' asked for was for you to move from one extreme (gutting threads for tiny infractions) to the middle, simply lightening up a little and using common sense. Instead you chose the 3rd option, going to the other extreme. A hatchet was used instead of a scalpel.

The guys didn't get what they asked for, so stop mocking and blaming others for your decision.

And I wouldn't say people like Nydia, Bylimet, and Halo turn threads to shit, but maybe you've seen some posts recently that I haven't.

Wrong. Go back farther.

I'll need you to be a little more vague.

A hatchet was used instead of a scalpel.

What you (and most) fail to understand is that people range from wanting Jedd banned (they PM me) and to wanting Osg banned (they PM me too). It's convenient to think there's a board-wide consensus about how to moderate "right", but it doesn't exist.

There is no possible, objective way to make everyone happy at any given time.

So, you either get my subjective moderation or not. I'm certainly not going to spend my time running fool's errands based on your daily whims, or anyone else's.

It's pointless for me to get in the middle of the polarization going on these days. I might start moderating again after the election passes, and the talking heads on TV stop telling everyone to hate each other so much.

I'll need you to be a little more vague.

That's pretty common knowledge for anyone that has used a message board for more then a week and isn't a moron. So no, sorry, that's not some fantastic new information.

Though you did give a much, much better reasoning for my main point in my last post, that 'we guys didn't get what we asked for.' I'm tired and not thinking too well, so thanks for helping me out there.

Welp, I got that rage against the machine out of my system, feel much better now.

Of course it's common knowledge. It bears repeating though, since everyone tends to think that things would be perfect if only the moderator would do it "right", which actually means "their way".

Hey Osg....

Rove, Rove, Rove your Boat,

"Swiftly" down the stream....

Mavericky, mavericky, mavericky, mavericky

That was for you buttercup :)

First Colin Powell, Now…

Ken Adelman is a lifelong conservative Republican. Campaigned for Goldwater, was hired by Rumsfeld at the Office of Economic Opportunity under Nixon, was assistant to Defense Secretary Rumsfeld under Ford, served as Reagan’s director of arms control, and joined the Defense Policy Board for Rumsfeld’s second go-round at the Pentagon, in 2001. Adelman’s friendship with Rumsfeld, Cheney, and their wives goes back to the sixties, and he introduced Cheney to Paul Wolfowitz at a Washington brunch the day Reagan was sworn in.

In recent years, Adelman and his friends Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Wolfowitz fell out over his criticisms of the botching of the Iraq War. Still, he remains a bona-fide hawk (“not really a neo-con but a con-con”) who has never supported a Democrat for President in his life. Two weeks from now that’s going to change: Ken Adelman intends to vote for Barack Obama. He can hardly believe it himself.

Adelman and I exchanged e-mails today about his decision. He asked rhetorically,

Why so, since my views align a lot more with McCain’s than with Obama’s? And since I truly dread the notion of a Democratic president, Democratic House, and hugely Democratic Senate?

Primarily for two reasons, those of temperament and of judgment.

When the economic crisis broke, I found John McCain bouncing all over the place. In those first few crisis days, he was impetuous, inconsistent, and imprudent; ending up just plain weird. Having worked with Ronald Reagan for seven years, and been with him in his critical three summits with Gorbachev, I’ve concluded that that’s no way a president can act under pressure.

Second is judgment. The most important decision John McCain made in his long campaign was deciding on a running mate.

That decision showed appalling lack of judgment. Not only is Sarah Palin not close to being acceptable in high office—I would not have hired her for even a mid-level post in the arms-control agency. But that selection contradicted McCain’s main two, and best two, themes for his campaign—Country First, and experience counts. Neither can he credibly claim, post-Palin pick.

I sure hope Obama is more open, centrist, sensible—dare I say, Clintonesque—than his liberal record indicates, than his cooperation with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid portends. If not, I will be even more startled by my vote than I am now.

Don't you have a bomb vest to build or something?

Wow, Os, you interrupted mad passionate sex with you cousin for that? :p

Osg, you are just having a real good time with this.

The more you keep it up, the more people will be driven to vote for Obama. Not because they want to vote for what Obama represents but to squash what YOU represent. Heck, John McCain would probabaly tell you to do him no favors.
You are conservative? Heck no.

You are just a clueless ass. Do you even know what being a conservative is about? Probably not. Bush and his crew certainly did not. What was conserved?

Our economy? Our budget surplus? Our credibility as the leader of the free world? Our confidence in the future? The conservative values of financial resposibility, adaptibility and tolerance certainly arn't at the core of what you think conservative is apparently. And yet racisim is? I don't like organised religion much, but even I know better to be that shallow as to peg the world's problems on the color of someone's skin.

Nope. We are broke, scared, uncertain, and mired in an irresponsilbily waged war. If we want to conserve the same stupid shit we can just keep on truck'n with the current Republican offering.

Don't you have a bomb vest to build or something?

Yea, I am building it right now!!! it has an American flag on it, along with a donkey... and there is a Bullseye on the back with a big Republican Elephant in the cross hairs :)

Just for you bigot!

Nice post Lummus, but there is no reasoning with Os. He is the lowest common denominator and what is truly wrong with this country right now. What's really pathetic is the very things he represents are so truly un-american and he thinks he's a patriot. They use patriotism and religion to hide their amoral behavior.

I have Republican friends, they aren't all like Os. They belive in fiscal conservatism and fostering capitolism, I can talk to them civily and agree to disagree about some things. It's Os's type that's posioning American Politics and it sickens me.

What's frightening is that the GOP supports and even fosters this hateful, racist, fear mongering tack (see any Palin stump speech). McCain has done a little to discourage it, and for that I think these some good left in him, but at this point, he's powerless in his own campaign (as he would be as President).

LOL!

I guess I'm missing the humor there, Jedd.

Didn't find that funny either...just provides visual evidence there are idiots on both sides of the fence.

I'll go out on a limb:rolleyes: and say that is a bit counter productive and well...plainly retarded to do. Score 1 for negating an argument.

It is the likes of Henry Hyde, Newt Gingrich, Tom Delay, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Michelle Bachman, and the talking heads like Hannity and Limbaugh that have poisoned the Republican Party and driven so many like myself to the Independent Party.

And now, McCain in his terrible display of judgement has selected Sarah Palin who seems to revel in both divisiveness and ignorance, as she demonstrated with her incorrect answer to a child about the job of the Vice President and how she would be able to change policies of the Senate, as it's leader.

Her answer wasn't to a child it was in an interview by an NBC affiliate that's even sadder, the video below.

I know you don't like Bill Mahr but he compared Palin and that Minn. congresswoman to Beevis and Butthead.


in case you were interested it's translated into text:

PALIN: Aw, that’s something that Piper would ask me, as a second grader, also. That's a great question, Brandon, and a Vice President has a really great job, because no only are they there to support the President agenda, they're like a team member, the team mate to that President. But also, they're in charge of the United States Senate, so if they want to they can really get in there with the Senators and make a lot of good policy changes that will make life better for Brandon and his family and his classroom. And it's a great job and I look forward to having that job.

I know you don't like Bill Mahr but he compared Palin and that Minn. congresswoman to Beevis and Butthead.



I mistook the narrative on the news then.

Also, I saw Mahr making that comment, and laughed out loud.

Bachman is doing a serious retreat from her comments, and trying to spin it that it was the media's "misreading" of her statement, even though it was on live TV, that is causing the uproar. She had the audacity to say she did not bring up the term anti-American, even though it is on video, and in another letter to the paper written by her she says this is the kind of media spin that makes people cynical about politics. Frankly, she disgusts me and makes me want to puke.
