LOL WHUT

The article is out of date, and the headline is bullshiat.

The article was from March of 2007.

McGovern said in April of 2006, that he should've kept Eagleton. This was before Robert Novak announced in July '07 that Eagleton was also behind the "Abortion, Amnesty, and Acid" rumors that dogged McGovern as well.

Eagleton sank the McGovern campaign twice over. I doubt McGovern wishes he kept him anymore.

I guess the mods are trying to balance the "Palin/McCain" train wreck by green lighting any anti-Obama headline possible.

Including one from an 18-month-old story and a headline conclusion so completely unrelated to the story that my eyeballs filed an "unfair working conditions" grievance with my brain for having looked upon it?

Maybe.

"Comprehensible headline, come out and PLAAAAAY-AY-AYYYYYY!"

So? That's when Eagleton died. It's usually bad form to embargo an obituary.

Daaaamn. I have seen some moral contortions in my time, but wow.

So long as it protects the Chosen One's acolytes it's suddenly fine to

a) take whatever gibberish Bob Novak spews out at face value, and
b) piss all over a man suffering from mental illness

Both when the subject isn't around to defend himself any more.

Classy.

Eagleton was a deeply decent man who got a raw deal when McGovern caved, stepped away from public office when he could've had a gig for life, and McGovern is an honorable man for acknowledging his mistake.

Suck it libs!!!



/wait whut?

When those Iraqi planes crashed into the World Trade Center, our brave heroes laying wounded in Walter Reed Middle School didn't ask "Where will our healthcare come from?" or "Do you have any arugula on the menu?".

You farking elitists make me sick.

Robert Novak was the one who first reported the "Acid Abortion Amnesty" comment and sourced it from a Democratic Senator.

In July of 2007 on Meet the Press, he said the source of the quote was Tom Eagleton. Out of deference to Eagleton, he waited until after his death to reveal the source.

These are facts. What do you have besides inane bullshiat remarks to dispute them? I'll be waiting.

Wait. What does this have to do with Obama?

I'll fark whoever I want, I don't care how you feel.

Can someone on the right draw us a graph of what this outrage is supposed to be about?

Hey, didn't I already see this post?

jcooli09: Hey, didn't I already see this post?

Yep. same issue, any Obama bashing gets greenlit no matter if the actual article is positive or has nothing to do with him.

...b-b-but, but, but Watergate?

i don't understand what is happening...

What does this have to do with Obama at all? Did I miss something? I'll admit that I haven't really kept up on the news in the past week.

Obama supporters have been comparing Palin to Eagleton.

This is why I'm not a TFer any more.

Are we really going to start arguing about Gerorge McGovern? I thought I was a hardcore Farker, but I just can't hang anymore. You guys win. I'm gonna go drink.

Gulper Eel: life, and McGovern is an honorable man for acknowledging his mistake.

What the fark does any of this have to do with Obama?

Bears repeating.

So dead guy one is Eagleton, who is dead guy two?

huh?

i think i'm a political junkie, but i have no idea what subby is doing.

So when Obama was an 11 year old kid in Hawaii living with his grandparents he threw Eagleton under the bus by kicking him off the McGovern ticket back in '72? This makes perfect sense.

Pretty long set-up for such a tired punch line.

Return to my earlier reference about taking Novak at face value. With his track record of lying about everything from the Plame case to hitting that old guy with his car, all of a sudden he's Moses coming down with the tablets?

I wouldn't believe Novak if he said the Earth was the third planet out from the sun.

Wow! When this one hits the MSM, you know the public outrage over this McGovern thing will finally end the Obama/Biden shot at the White House!1!!!

Haven't a clue. Subby prolly thought McGovern was dead as well. Therefore, it was important to link a 15 month old article.

In other news: Right-wing cud chewers post article on Fark.com that uses yet another dead person for their own political gains and agenda.

when is this 'under the bus' shiat going to stop?!

moothemagiccow: when is this 'under the bus' shiat going to stop?!

Unfortunately there is only one way to ditch it. . .

This has what to do with Obama....buses....Biden....?

Goddammit, do you conservatives have anything positive to say about your guy, or is it "just make up shiat about Obama" for the next 8 weeks?

I know, I know, rhetorical question...

RevMercutio: Haven't a clue. Subby prolly thought McGovern was dead as well. Therefore, it was important to link a 15 month old article.

I see, wow.

So, important question if you saw Obama throwing an old dead guy under a bus, would you be more or less likely to vote for him? I think more. But am a little undecided on the issue.

Is it just me, or was it true that nobody really gave a shiat about the VP until Darth Cheney came along?

So you have no way to dispute what I said besides "I don't believe Robert Novak", but you felt compelled to insult Obama supporters anyways. Is that correct?

Quale? Spiro Agnew?

It's not a fair comparison. John McCain doesn't have the arm strength to throw anybody, let alone under a bus.

Throwing old, dead guys under the bus is bad for publicity. That's why Obama has been cautious about doing it to McCain.

Y'all are missing the important point here:

SOMEONE GOT THROWN UNDER THE BUS!

Next hack to say that gets 1 Free Cockpunch.

kasmel: Quale? Spiro Agnew?

I remember we used to laugh at Quayle. I really truly believe he had some Rovian (if not the man Karl Rove himself) PR team coach him on what stupid thing he should be saying to the camera. It never failed.

Agnew only had the distinction of being removed from office. From within. Everyone knew Nixon was the real crook.

attackingpencil: What does this have to do with Obama at all? Did I miss something? I'll admit that I haven't really kept up on the news in the past week.

Well, McCain chose this VP named Sarah Palin. She's a total studette, stole the spotlight from BHO, re-engergized the base, and the Dems are shiatting themselves. So they passed around a memo to "mention Eagleton alot" in hopes of forcing her off the ticket. Yes, they're really that scared of her!

Now you're up to speed.

Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.


There needs to be a moratorium on anti-Palin/anti-Obama articles. All they do is stir up shiat. You have your die-hard Repubs on one side, and your die-hard Dems on the other with the mushy middle stuck in the well......middle. Those people are more sick of this crap than anyone else.

If you can't find a good article to greenlight about either of them......DON'T GREENLIGHT IT. I would love for just once during this election cycle, to be able to read and comment in threads in the Politics tab without dealing with everyone else's petty arguments.

Except the whole "being scared" bit isn't true. Your "historic" veep candidate seems to have either a scandal or a lie rebuked a day.

I'll be almost impressed if she can get through one speech without lying about herself.
