This underhanded, unethical and possibly illegal behavior from Obama speaks volumes about his character.

It sure does! It means he fits in with the rest of the politicians!

It's excellent strateagery.

It's illegal for superdelegates to announce their support at certain times?

I'm not really following.

Richardson's effusive endorsement drowned out the Wright story,

WTF? No it didn't. I just happened to luck into finding out about it one day, in the midst of all the media attention on Wright. Nothing drowned out the Wright story...

"By doing it that way, they are avoiding the charge that the bosses, the party leaders and insiders, are conspiring to deny Hillary a voice and voters a choice," said Schoen.

Who the f*ck is saying that anyone is denying Clinton a voice? She's been allowed a voice from the very beginning. Oftentimes, it had backfired on her when she "misspeaks" about things like sniper fire. The one person who should be trying to deny Hillary a voice is Hillary because her voice seems to do more damage to her campaign than anything else.

she just forgot that her missions into bosnia were classified, so she had to act like she was misspeaking

I think Filibuster Cartoons has said it best.

I'm just bad at the trolling thing. Was it the decent grammar and spelling? Not enough froth?

Not enough froth ;) It threw me.

Kennedy had a stroke?

/was it the backstroke?

NYZooMan: Kennedy had a stroke?

Yeah, he is being medivacced to Mass General right now. I'm about two miles away - if anyone wants me to go down there and taunt him about alcoholism or Mary Joe Kopechne, let me know. My afternoon is free.

My submission ended with, "If he had learned to stroke forty years ago, Mary Jo might still be alive."

When asked how he will recover doctors said "we'll cross that bridge when we get to it".

This is hardly underhanded. Strategic timing is a time-honored tactic. It's why you'll always see bad news announced at 5 pm on a Friday.

Has anyone heard that Obama's wife gave a speech in church where she rails against whitey? There's even a video, which hasn't surfaced for some reason.

I read a blog about it the other day. Sounds like a scare tactic.

psst...I've got one of McCain giving Bush and handjob spread the word. really. I just can't show you right now. I've got to wait until Oct for the big shocker. That's why I'm starting the rumor to increase the shock value. this way if everyone is expecting it it'll be a bigger surprise.

You're twho days late, the attacks on Michelle were supposed to start on Thursday. Didn't you get the memo?

All aboard!

you know what they say about the size of a black man's superdelegate list.

Trinity is not a small church at all (8-9000 members), the doors are open, and every church service of theirs has been on Chicago broadcast or national satellite distribution TV for most of the last 20 years. It seems unlikely that there is "just one copy", that some ex-member or visitor wouldn't turn something like this into an interview for a few hundred grand, or that some junior reporters haven't been scouring tape till their eyes bleed looking for anything. Not impossible, but smells like bullshiat.

This is so interesting*

Lawnchair: Not impossible, but smells like bullshiat.

and even if there is a tape, what are the odds (considering recent behavior) that she was not saying what they claim?

The right wing learned a long time ago, that they don't need proof -- to their kind, it's already a fact worth exploiting whether it happened or not.

Maybe the mouth breathers who said Obama wasn't ready for presidential campaigning had their heads up their asses?

B. Hussein Obama and his parade of dhimmi collaborators.

It would be amusing, if it didn't herald the destruction of our way of life.

Obama delays announcing supporters until the time is right? Really? Is that all you got?

You mean like, "Did Michelle Obama make racist comments in church?"

Shout the lie, whisper the retraction.

2/10. Atillathepun would have gotten me if I hadn't read the confession further down the page. You? Notsomuch.

this thread smells of desperation

mmmmmm, your tears taste so good

Donald_McRonald: Has anyone heard that Obama's wife gave a speech in church where she rails against whitey? There's even a video, which hasn't surfaced for some reason.

I heard about it, but it reeks of bullshiat to me. Once the Wright issue began to flare up, every pundit, news channel, political opponent's campaign, and radio host on the planet was probably digging through those church sermons to find something offensive or related to Obama. They came up with a teensy little handful of sermon segments and had to present the argument that these were representative of the entirety of the last 20 years.

Someone would have found and played this by now, I'd think, if it were the case. I've been wrong before, though.

Personally, I think it was an awesome troll. I had to go read the article before I knew for sure what you were doing. Hopefully everybody else will have the same reaction.

Donald_McRonald: Has anyone heard that Obama's wife gave a speech in church where she rails against whitey? There's even a video, which hasn't surfaced for some reason.

She should rail against whitey..

Whitey put us in this mess!

If the Clintons couldn't find a "Michelle Obama rails against whitey" tape, it doesn't exist.

As whitey, I would welcome Michelle's abuse any day of the week ;)

I think that if I was African-American and political, I'd probably have railed against 'whitey' many times during my youth. 'Whitey' does not encompass all white people you have to realize, and to think that it's simply an issue of one race complaining about the other keeping them down is completely missing the point.

cmartine

How could the person who was the presumptive nominee be the spoiler? I mean, I'm aware you just post that picture all the time and never actually contribute the the discussion, but it just doesn't make sense to me.

Don't be discouraged - no skill is learned overnight. When your horse throws you, the best thing to do is climb right back on - it's the only way you'll learn to ride.

There's a new sheriff in town, folks.

Why are you assuming it's Obama doing the timing here? Their policy is right in the damned article:

Obama's campaign won't elaborate on its superdelegate strategy. "As people tell us they support us, we release it," said Bill Burton, a campaign spokesman.

They're not coordinating it themselves, though the superdelegates are probably announcing at opportune oments on purpose to ensure that the guy they're endorsing gets in.

You know, a man's life is at stake here. If he rally did have a stroke and you heckled him, it might put him in the wrong frame of mind and make his recovery less successful, or even kill him.

So yeah, you should do it.
