It now says "Days between Obama's visits to Iraq" and is static.

S'all right. Soon it'll be time to dust off the "Days Without a Republican President" counter.

Even if you believe in the Republican creed, I can't see supporting these guys. They're tremendous douchebags.

Brownose..er..Brownback was on MSNBC this morning griping about Obama's trip being inappropriate yadda yadda. Contessa Brewer asked him how it was any different than McCain's speech in Canada and Brownback had the nerve to say, "Yeah, but that's on OUR continent" and then threw in the media bias angle, and that no one covered McCain. To which she asked, "But didn't he grant an exclusive to CBS?" He just dismissed that. I forget his exact words but he implied somehow it was different.

Was the counter programmed by Diebold?

Only if the number shown was much larger that the actual count.

I_Hate_Iowa: It now says "Days between Obama's visits to Iraq" and is static.

So now they're faulting him for not frequently going to Iraq. Okay then.

Diogenes: "Yeah, but that's on OUR continent candidate"

Ah, it wouldn't be a day at fark without a picture of Raistlin.

I_Hate_Iowa: It now says "Days between Obama's visits to Iraq" and is static.

What the fark does that have to do with anything? How about a "Days between McCain using the internet" or a "Days between the GOP selling another portion of the government to the highest bidder".

Wow there isn't even one pro McCain article on the site, it is all anti Obama.

You know what's hilarious about the RNC page? Almost everything on the page is about Barack Obama, nothing about McCain.

The means one of two things, McCain is the world's most boring candidate that no one likes and the RNC strategy is to make fun of their opponent like it's high school. Which sadly enough works.

Actually it's probably both of those reasons.

At least this clock (new window) is still good.

gop.com seems like the target audience is teens and preteens, there's some odd verbiage and imagery for an official political party website.

Am I missing something, is gop.com not the official republican party website?

It's the media coverage bias. It's that pernicious.

Where's the clock that counts down the days Osama Bin Laden has been free?

HAHA Burn! They didn't update their website yet! Those losers!

His head bodyguard is free, too - despite having been in custody (new window).

By the way, when did the link submission thingy add the "political bias" field?

It wouldn't be newsworthy if McCain and the RNC hadn't made such a big farking production out of it in the first place.

It's just like Obama's entire overseas trip. The McCain Campaign stupidly spent months gloating about how long it had been since Obama had visited Iraq or been overseas, talking about it all the time...as if it really mattered. Somehow during all of that they failed to realize all Obama had to do was hop on an aireplane to nullify their point. Then he goes, and they piss and moan about the fact he's going and the reception he's receiving.

Reap what you sow. If you spend all your time making specious accusations, don't be pissed off if they are refuted with a specious response.

cut them some slack, an overzealous staffer got that as cut and paste from "cool-counters.com" and nobody on the McCain Staff knows enough javascript to shut it off.

I agree...that's most likely the case. I mean the guy just learned of the internet, I doubt he spends any resources on a good Java guy.

WHHHAAAHHH!!1! Reality hates me!!!!

Its a sad reminder that the GOP and McCain were screaming that Obama wouldn't go to Iraq. Looks like he called their week little complaint. Now that he responded to their urging and went, they're mad that he went. The GOP is petty, sad, and finally on its way out.

I actually pointed this out in a thread two days ago (Link). So I've got that going for me. Which is nice.

gustakooka: HAHA Burn! They didn't update their website yet! Those losers!

The whole thing was embarrassingly stupid BEFORE they updated their website. Perhaps if they had a point, or a plan, or a platform, they wouldn't be losers.

They're faulting him for not going to Iraq at the same time they're faulting him for not staying in the US.

Clearly, the Republicans are in favor of human cloning.

this will not be a problem once McCain puts Martial Law in place

Republicans: Still living in the past.

what a whiny c*nt...

Oh yeah. I'm a whiny little c*nt for pointing out how the Fark Politics tab works. Non-stories are greenlit just because they're trollish against republicans OR democrats. I don't need to tell you that, Headso, you've been here for longer than I have.

You've usually got some zingers for anyone who disagrees with your point, but throwing out "c*nt" for someone who explains how Fark Politics is just a trollfest is not your style. Wake up, get back on your game. You aren't seriously taking all comments and assuming they are a personal attack on you, are you?

In case none of that got through to you, here's the tl;dr version.
Fark you too.

Let me see if I understand you: You're complaining because the Fark politics tab - which exists to promote debate among those with differing political beliefs - links to articles which inspire debate among those with differing political beliefs? Is that the nut of the matter? Is that what has your boxers in a bunch?

What a whiny little c*nt.

Hahahaaha....change it to "days between Obama visit to Iraq"? The GOP is turning into a travesty.

Skleenar: Still off when I checked.

Its there.

McCain is currently run a tv ad in the Colorado area: "who is responsible for today's high gas prices?" and then shows a full-screen picture of Obama.

No. That's not what I'm saying. I'm not complaining at all.
Someone said "Is it just me, or is this not newsworthy?"
I replied that anything bad about Republicans on Fark is newsworthy, as well as any bad article about Democrats too. We all come here to dump on each other over every little thing. The guy is obviously new here if he's asking if something is really news-worthy.

I understand the intense desire to take someone's comments, shape them into a personal attack, and then hammer on that straw man all day, but that's not what I said at all. I posted the verbal equivalent of the "Welcome to Fark" picture.

Get over yourself. Not every post here is meant to question your beliefs. I know you're sitting at your keyboard salivating at the chance to jump on someone who makes any comment you can interpret however you feel like, but I'm not going to suddenly break down and reveal that I'm a secret fascist Bush Cabinet member who posted that comment as a way to piss you off, even if you call me a whiny little c*nt.

Now how is just voting "present" going to increase gas prices.

That's not what you said. What you said is, and I quote, "This is Fark. Anything bad about Republicans is news worthy." Nothing about Democrats in there, bucko - just the usual persecution complex we've come to expect from Fark Independents.

The only reason I'm salivating is because I just opened a package of Hostess Cupcakes, cupcake. Maybe you're the one who needs to get over himself, eh?
