Suck it rethugs

Uh yeah it was the father who wasn't ok with it, right?

punny subby

Another futile +1

RobertBruce: Uh yeah it was the father who wasn't ok with it, right?

It was the father who said his ex-wife wouldn't have been okay with it. He was basically speaking for her. SHE gave the bracelet to Obama, and SHE is fine with it.

still, if the father and the neocon dickwads didn't like it then it shouldn't have been done.

TheGrayCat: It was the father who said his ex-wife wouldn't have been okay with it. He was basically speaking for her. SHE gave the bracelet to Obama, and SHE is fine with it.

Well, in all fairness, men do have the duty to speak for women who are too simple-minded to form their own opinions.

Mordant: still, if the father and the neocon dickwads didn't like it then it shouldn't have been done.

I see you have a traditional view of marriage as a sacred commitment between a man, a woman, and a couple of neocon dickwads.

McCain retracts Palin's Pakistan comments (new window)

I'm going to +1 the HELL out of these threads.

Gee, I can't imagine why they're divorced.

My post was from 1936, and so is McCain.

You know who else is from 1936?

King Something: You know who else is from 1936?

Errol Flynn?

This is green on the link voting page...

Green! woo!

Ms.Maus: Green! woo!

yay finally!

Green. Flamewar incoming.

She's supporting the leader of Al Qaeda after her son died fighting the war against him?? OHHH OBAMA LOL

About. Damned. Time.

sinistermonk: She's supporting the leader of Al Qaeda after her son died fighting the war against him?? OHHH OBAMA LOL

HURR HURR NON-CHRISTIAN NAMES ARE TERRORIST HURR.

The awesome part to me is that Obama was going to go through the debate, quietly wearing his bracelet. McCain was the grandstander, and the one who had the "bracelet" scripted. Backfire.

You sir are a scholar and a gentleman!
/golf clap

Hooray truth!

This whole "bracelet" episode is a nice allegory for the entire McCain campaign.

/Where was YOUR flag pin, Johnny-poo ???

Relatively Obscure: I'm going to +1 the HELL out of these threads.

The voting list is now cluttered with them, despite the fact that all this was covered in the last greenlit link about this. Blech. You guys are ruining Fark!

The father of this slain hero should have some input to how his son's legacy will be paraded for political gain.

But is guess in this county, Crying Woman > Angry Father

Stupid farking bracelets, the lot of them.

I never say this, but...

SUCK IT, REPUBLITARDS!

OMGWTF!!! Townhall is teh neocon rethuglicans!

Lawnchair: The awesome part to me is that Obama was going to go through the debate, quietly wearing his bracelet. McCain was the grandstander, and the one who had the "bracelet" scripted. Backfire.

Thinking the same thing. While Obama didnt come off clean, I thought he threw it back in McCains face nicely.

No, Obama, you cannot has bracelet. Not yours JK

Especially if she screws up a statement about foreign policy with Pakistan.

Sorry John... It'll never happen again...

I'm glad Obama learned to strike back quickly and forcefully against the lies, unlike Kerry and Gore.

Hey, how did a true statement make its way onto Townhall?

Aww. This doofus is wrong once again? I'm so farking surprised.

Too bad the thread with the worst pun was the one that got greenlighted.

/subby. Yeah, I cop to it

TOWNHALL? Town farking Hall posted that?

The world is upside-down.

Hooray. More trivial bullshiat.

anybody notice the poll on the side where apparently 71% think Mccain won the debate?

How anybody likes that nasty old bag I can't understand.

If William Kristol isn't in my bed making sure I'm not sexing up another guy, I just don't feel right!

I agree with that. I think he probably should have said "Let me tell you about the bracelet I was given..." instead of "I have a bracelet too!" It did come off childish.

Nathan Explosion: "Oh my God, that's pandering."
William Murderface: "PANDERRRING!"

But was Sandra Bullock okay with McCain dissing Miss Congeniality?

Oh. Dip. Complete refutation of ridiculous points is usually hard to come by.

what a sad, stupid farking country we've become

Has anybody noticed fark doesn't have as many flame wars anymore? I'm going to guess it's because there is no way to defend the neocons without sounding like a troll.

And where has skookum been? We need a summon skookum card!

RandomExcess: The father of this slain hero should have some input to how his son's legacy will be paraded for political gain.

The father is free to express his own opinions, he just shouldn't issue a retraction in the name of his ex-wife, apparently she is capable of speaking for herself.

Annamonster: anybody notice the poll on the side where apparently 71% think Mccain won the debate?

Townhall is a slightly more literate version of Freerepublic. I'm surprised the number is only 71%
