Speaking to a crowd at Bennett College in Greensboro, North Carolina, Democratic presidential contender John Edwards attempted to explain why he cut and ran from the Fox-sponsored Dem debate. He said he saw “absolutely no reason to give Fox a special platform especially given their history on how they treat Democrats and Democrat Presidential candidates.”
What history is that? He didn’t say.
But that’s not the dumbest thing the Silky Pony said. He also said that global warming will “make world war look like heaven.” Drink the Kool-Aid, Silky. Drink deep.
Update (AP): Papa Bear promises the Pony that his “day of reckoning” is coming, oh yes.

So by this rather strange analogy, Iraq looks like heaven?
Thank GOD for John Edwards. This is going to be great to watch during the upcoming months!!!
HarryStar on March 14, 2007 at 6:02 PM
Uhh … and this clown is seeking the Presidency of the U.S.?
darwin on March 14, 2007 at 6:03 PM
Edwards is now hiring a blogger to remove his shoe from his mouth, person required to be on duty 24/7
Defector01 on March 14, 2007 at 6:05 PM
Drink the kool-aid?
I half expect Edwards to come crashing through my wall…
I don’t know what else to say, except “unbelieveable”
JetBoy on March 14, 2007 at 6:10 PM
Edwards says “We [Americans] are not an example of good”. Well I’m inspired! No wonder this guy is so popular with the Dems.

You forgot the rest of Silky Ponies quote,

I read nuclear dammit. Ah well. My point is a good one there.
For his comment, my snark would be: You mean, that after global warming, we’ll have an economic boom and the majority of the effects will be felt in Europe. Bring on global warming, then!

Since Edwards speaks for God, or gives God legal advice,or something like that, I guess that he would know what heaven is like
DAT60A3 on March 14, 2007 at 6:21 PM
Let’s take the analogy further. A John Edwards presidency will make a world war look like heaven. Good grief, this guy is a douchebag. Whoops. I just used a schoolyard taunt on John Edwards. I’m going to get kicked out of the Republican party…WAAAAAHHHHH! To the fainting couches!
austinnelly on March 14, 2007 at 6:22 PM
Maybe Silky Pony should start having Shrum do his thinking again for him. His own brain is stuck on clueless.
fogw on March 14, 2007 at 6:26 PM
Bizarre…fighting for the Nader votes I guess.
WisCon on March 14, 2007 at 6:26 PM
What was that… that Ann called him again …. ?

War is much more heavenly than a few polar bears having to relocate.

If tomorrow begins today, when did yesterday end?

His hair is looking rather flacid.
bloggless on March 14, 2007 at 6:58 PM
I wonder how many
extrassupporters showed up at this thing? It doesn’t look like many.bloggless on March 14, 2007 at 7:00 PM
Well, remember, if he is elected; paralyzed people will walk again. Reeves died, so its too late for him, but Edwards will make sure everyone else can.
lorien1973 on March 14, 2007 at 7:03 PM
I thought it said…
“SILLY speaks”
Made more sense that way.
NRA4Freedom on March 14, 2007 at 7:08 PM
Is he speaking to a bunch of middle school kids? Does he know they’re not old enough to vote yet, right?
And why does he keep rubbing his nose? I’m half way waiting for the earlobe tug, or maybe he snorting something.
He speaks through god, or rather channeling, or maybe he’s picking up Air America from a tooth filling in his head. Air America? Are there still signals bouncing around? And horses will start growing a single horn on their heads.
Kini on March 14, 2007 at 7:15 PM
I’m working on slogans for the Edward’s campaign. Tell me what you think of these:
“John Edwards, A Gift from God…For the Republican Party”
John Edwards, A Gift that Just Keeps on Giving”
amerpundit on March 14, 2007 at 7:19 PM
How about “Pony up for John”?
bloggless on March 14, 2007 at 7:27 PM
Edwards appears to be a classic Moonbat. The more people hear of him the more what he really is will become painfully apparent.
Edwards seems a champion of the far Left. He is of the same ilk as Kennedy and Kerry. It will be a pleasure to see his political defeat and know how much of the Left’s dollars went into his futile effort.

What a frikken tool
Mortis on March 14, 2007 at 7:28 PM
So, if they think Fox is so wrong, how come they are the first place network?

“The sky is falling! The sky is falling!”
Idiot.

“Go and tell the king that the sky is falling in!”
aengus on March 14, 2007 at 8:05 PM
This man Edwards is incapable of leading. Why doesn’t he just tell the moonbat parade that he believes his ideas are superior and that he (and they) should try and persuade Fox viewers? Sheesh!
aengus on March 14, 2007 at 8:07 PM
On the opposite end of the spectrum, global cooling would make Heaven look like world war. We’re damned if we do, damned if we don’t, so let’s not, and say we did.
I got a headache. That moonbat logic hurts!
RedinBlueCounty on March 14, 2007 at 8:08 PM
Go towards the light, Breck Boy.
Connie on March 14, 2007 at 8:30 PM
How about; John Edwards, Gods gift to the Republican Party.
Or, John Edwards, the right
jack assDemocrat.Huh, and oxymoron eh? Ok, just moron.
Kini on March 14, 2007 at 8:32 PM
By his logic, the Tooth Fairy makes world war look like heaven. As do flying pigs, efficient bureaucrats, and intelligent leftists.
What. A. Faggot.
HerrMorgenholz on March 14, 2007 at 8:45 PM
Does he say something at the end of the clip about “when we have cleaned up our own eyes…”? I can’t make it out for sure. Another Biblical reference?
TexasDan on March 14, 2007 at 8:46 PM
come on, Ponyboy… say it….say it… tell the flock, O Righteous One! Global Warming is Armageddon! The Four Horsemen are Rising Oceans, Carbon Dioxide, Drowned Polar Bears, and Republican Denial!
Come on. Say it, you socialist whore.
stevezilla on March 14, 2007 at 9:12 PM
Nothing like putting three things that you have no qualifications to speak on all in the same sentence. At least if he was talking about ambulance chasing we’d know that he was an expert in the field.

TheBigOldDog on March 14, 2007 at 10:28 PM
These college students are as brain damaged as the silky one himself. They have been indoctrinated with the leftist, liberal agenda since day 1 in our pathetic government schools. The scary thing is these morons’ votes carry the same weight as yours and mine, 1 more generation and we will not be able to reverse the trend. Abolish the dept. of education and teachers unions NOW to save our civilization and our way of life, liberty, and freedom. I’m sure we will find out sooner or later that My Little Pony is bought and paid for by none other than the kool-aid maker George Soros.
NeverSubmit on March 14, 2007 at 10:56 PM
He must mean fair and balanced. Edwards the sissy-mary wants special treatment like he gets from the MSM.
Tough crap silky! You’ll get treated just like evryone else.
csdeven on March 14, 2007 at 11:29 PM
Did you see the signs they were holding behind him?
Tomorrow
Begins
Today
You can’t get much more meaningless, trite, and downright stupid than that.
They are perfect.

This Pony is quickly becoming “the gift that keeps on giving.” I guess that means we shouldn’t look a gift pony in the mouth…sorry, had to.
Rick on March 15, 2007 at 1:09 AM
Hey! Leave Edwards alone! Need I remind you that his father worked in a mill! A MILL! If that doesn’t speak to his expertise then I don’t know what does.
Some day this nation will progress to the point where a man can be judged, not by the color of his skin or the content of his character, but by the jobs his relatives held at some time in the past.
Coyote D. on March 15, 2007 at 1:10 AM
Edwards has got to say stupid and outrageous things. He shot his own campaign in the foot by coming out in NOLA and then administered the kill shot by hiring those two nasty socialist blogger chicks who alienated 80% of the US population in about a week.
I’ll go ahead and concede for him here and now since he’ll never get more than 2% of the votes in the primaries.
Buzzy on March 15, 2007 at 2:01 AM
Largest voting block, San Fran. Just saying about the F-word.
Kini on March 15, 2007 at 2:06 AM
Wha? I heard that the voice of an aborted baby spoke to Edwards and gave him the stem-cell secrets that will resurrect Christopher Reeve and give him super powers…and that’s why I’m voting for him.
That’s not half as bad as the Kucinich signs I still drive past on the way to my kids’ school: HOPE BEGINS. WTF? Guess what, dumbass? Some of us never lost hope, seeing as we don’t live or die depending on who’s in the White House.
saint kansas on March 15, 2007 at 5:49 AM
Silky Pony? More like Cotton Pony.

The important thing is to remember there are two Americas: the America that believes there are two Americas, and the America that doesn’t.
B Moe on March 15, 2007 at 8:41 AM
I think he needs to purchase “carbon offsets” when he speaks.
Rick Donaldson on March 15, 2007 at 9:37 AM
OK, serious question. Really.
What, of substance, has John Edwards ever said? I’m thinking that somewhere early in the 2004 primary he must have said something definitive that endeared him to the voting public. Damn, Kerry’s “the same, but smarter” line is a friggin’ doctoral disseration compared to Edwards’ “two Americas” schpiel.
Help me understand… even if I were a hardcore liberal I wouldn’t trust this guy. Is there any there there?
saint kansas on March 15, 2007 at 10:05 AM
I didn’t know there could be such a thing as Clinton Lite.
NellE on March 15, 2007 at 10:16 AM
I love the attention the issue of Global Warming receives. Two countries, both of which hate us and our way of life, are on the verge of obtaining nuclear capabilities, yet the Gorebot and the current group of democratic “Presidential
hopefulsidiots” are focusing their concern on the fact that the temperature has risen a few degrees over the past 100 or so years. The real Inconvenient Truth is that if Iran or North Korea is successful at obtaining nuclear weapons Global Warming won’t really matter much.SPIFF1669 on March 15, 2007 at 11:46 AM
