Dear Submitter,

Thanks for that trenchant analysis.

and it was a much more substantive blog than half the news articles we get linked on fark.

hell, some of the time we get articles that are literally just a transcript of something and a sentence. and this one didn't even have a transcript.

hence, subby fails on all accounts.

Hell, yes. He actually showed his reasoning.

And yeah, there wasn't a transcription. There was some trenchant and clearly partisan (not that there's anything wrong with that) analysis.

Good read. Thanks, Subby, you twit.

The only thing worse than the "Obama is the one" fanatics are people who point it out, usually about someone who has logical reasons for supporting him. You demonstrate a simple-mindedness which you project onto the alleged fanatic. The argument might as well be "You're a towel!", as it creates the same level of discourse.

Yeah, that Obama, he's sure a poor public speaker. Who could possibly enjoy listening to him? If only he had some of the charm of, say, a John McCain.

ROFL.

You keep on swinging there though, champ.

It's to listen to talk radio. My uncle is a crazy stupid right winger and listens to that crap all day, so I've heard some of it before. It's scary how it is so unabashedly brainwashing and indoctrinating. It teaches people not to think.

It's actually very encouraging. They were the ones that convinced a lot of cons that Bush was their savior. He turned out to be the Dems savior.

If your enemy is inducing insanity among their rank and file thats a good thing. Hate radio has really pushed blind loyalty too and thats a way of removing the ability of your party to self correct.

They view any criticisim as disloyalty so they end up marching in lock step following Bush off the edge of the cliff.

Have you ever listened to the "hate radio"? A lot of them have been bashing Bush for being a no-tax and spend "Conservative" for a long time...

Now, teh Islamicistic Terrarisms stuff... that's something talk radio can be pro-Bush about.

/if I am critical of the Barrockstar Obama, does that mean I'm disloyal/anti-American in your world view? It's only "hate" if it's the other side, right?

and here lies your fallacy. There are no logical reasons for supporting Obama. All there is hyperbole and promises that are continually dashed to the ground in the name of "compromise".

I guess nobody noticed that quotes from the speech were just the jumping off point for a long analysis of what the writer thinks Obama should do to win the debates.

Bonus for for actually RTFA: find the dicey use of race politics in one of the items in the list.

Yes any man who graduates with a Juris Doctor (J.D.) magna cum laude from Harvard is surely a 'moran', at least when you are sporting an 8th grade education yourself!

Obama is the ONLY candidate who actually understands constitutional law. That should be a pre-req for any Pres.

Sorry Ms. Palin and Mr. POW, you are simply NOT qualified.

There are plenty of people voting for Obama because he is just as this or that as he is. Of course everybody can't be as wise as you and make their decision purely on the issues.
