		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;“baby’s” is clearly a plural possessive pronoun not a singular adjective describing “Daddy”.

J_Gocht on June 15, 2008 at 5:28 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So you&#039;re saying she&#039;s out of touch with the black community and doesn&#039;t know the lingo?

OK, I can go with that. Fist bump, anyone?</description>

		<description>The lumbering leviathan of political levity spent the first forty five minutes of his daily wingnut gum bumping session this morning; trying to play &lt;em&gt;Pontius Pilate&lt;/em&gt;  and wash his chubby soiled hands of any bigoted remarks  he supposedly &lt;strong&gt;“only repeated”&lt;/strong&gt; concerning &lt;em&gt;“Michelle my belle”&lt;/em&gt;  on his radio show last week.

Doesn’t wash with me Rotund One…!</description>

		<description>Every attack and smear Hillary threw at Obama was preceeded with &quot;the Republicans will use this, so I need to say it now so everyone is well-informed about what is coming later&quot;. This is the new level of politics of personal destruction - blame the Republicans, talk radio, and bloggers for the rumors that THEY start. 

And these are the people who accuse Bush of lying and misleading the American people about the war.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;The very big shoes &lt;/strong&gt;of Sideshow Bob have fallen on his own toes. Curse those conservative bloggers! Bart Simpson does it again! Those pesky children see through plots and rumors to solve the case.

Quotes from &quot;Krusty Gets Busted&quot; &lt;em&gt;The Simpsons&lt;/em&gt;:
(names have been changed to protect the innocent)

(Sideshow Bobama) &quot;My young friends: For years I have been silent, save for the crude crescendos of this primitive wind instrument. But now destiny has thrust me into the center ring. In the coming weeks, you will notice some rather sweeping changes in our program. Please do not be alarmed. Itchy and Scratchy will still have a home here, but we&#039;ll also learn about nutrition, self-esteem, etiquette, and all the lively arts.&quot;

(Show begins) 
BOBama: &quot;Hello kids! Whom do you love?&quot;
KIDS: &quot;Sideshow Bob!&quot;
BOBama: &quot;How much do you love me?&quot;
KIDS: &quot;With all our hearts!&quot;

BOBama: &quot;Today&#039;s show promises to be a marvelous celebration of the human spirit. But first, I regret to say I see a youngster who looks troubled. What&#039;s your name, young man?
BART: &quot;Bart Simpson, sir.&quot;
BOBama: &quot;Well, perhaps we can shed some light on your problem in a new segment exploring pre-adolescent turmoil. I call it, &#039;Choices&#039;.&quot;
BART: &quot;I don&#039;t think so, sir.&quot;

BOBama: &quot;So, what&#039;s the matter, Bart, I&#039;ll bet the other children don&#039;t accept you.&quot;
BART: &quot;True, Sideshow Bob, but that doesn&#039;t bother me. You see, my sisters and I have been doing a little investigating and it looks like to us like Krusty was framed.&quot;

BOBama: &quot;Bart, children. This whole sordid affair has been a shock to all of us, but we must get on with our lives. Let&#039;s try to remember Krusty not as a hardened criminal, but as that loveable jester, who&#039;d honk his horn and put around in his little car.&quot;
BART: &quot;And shot you out of a cannon.&quot;
BOBama: &quot;And shot me out of a cannon. Yes, we will never forget that, will we? Bart, open your heart. I&#039;ll admit I have some might big shoes to fill...&quot;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;“Rush Limbaugh and his fellow right-wing attack-dogs have been spreading baseless rumors about a non-existent video tape showing Michelle Obama using a racial epithet…”Seixon on June 15, 2008 at 4:25 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;
 
This is typical lame comedic wingnut farce; for the lumbering leviathan of levity with bigoted, ad hominine attack liberty to lambaste his presumed losers.</description>

Ok, so she knows how to say it grammatically correct as opposed to the &quot;hood&quot; slang. Why she gotta say it dat way? Why not just say &quot;my husaband&quot;?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;This is the way the left/MSM will compartmentalize and make somewhat irrelevant conservative blogs. As they’ve done w/conservative talk radio. And its working, to some extent... Its the same old thesis/anti-thesis tactic. DD
Darvin Dowdy on June 15, 2008 at 6:13 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Darvin,

I blame the Republican Party for contributing to the &quot;compartmentalization&quot; and making conservative blogs &quot;somewhat irrelevant&quot; in comparison to the big left blogs.

While democratic politicians POSTED and contributed diaries to dkos and other leftwing blogs, Republican tech-dinosaurs ignored and in some cases, shunned the very blogs that could help them. Even now, they still haven&#039;t &quot;got&quot; with the program. 

They invite people to set up blogs but think that their only purpose is for daily fund-raising. What they don&#039;t understand is how the dynamics of leftwing blog fundraising works. FIRST you attract a large number of people who are interested in posting/blogging/commenting/ at your blog on a regular basis-however you set it up-- You set up an online community.

THEN you talk about donations.

They keep treating blogging like it&#039;s some sort of political dinner,(with people who already know each other) shell out thousands, and then get to spend a few hours eating a mediocre meal. They don&#039;t &quot;get&quot; the idea of a how a blogging community develops, and the power it can provide to a candidate. 

If they don&#039;t start catching on soon-- they are going to be so far behind the democrats in impacting the blogosphere, and the damage will be so deep,that it will take a decade to recover. In particular, the 18-25 crowd, will lock permanently into in leftwing sites and won&#039;t bother to pay attention to anything from conservative bloggers.

   

I get so frustrated with them

		<description>I think Johnson or some of his Clinton associates had another goal besides  damaging Obama.* Another priority would be to damage the reputations of the conservative and libertarian bloggers. Floating a bogus bombshell rumor about Obama&#039;s wife, and then blaming it on the conservative bloggers, would help the democrats to inflict damage upon the credibility of conservative bloggers who have done serious damage to both the Clintons and to Obama this year.
The emotional image of those nasty conservatives smearing Obama&#039;s wife is aimed at evoking public disgust. It also would innoculate Michelle from another unpleasant gaffe.   

If they can make the smear stick-- it will help silence a major source of criticism of Obama and the democrats.

* there is also pre-mentioned point that Hillary wanted to have conservatives take the fall for her dirty work. But still-- who benefits the most from this scenaro? Obama</description>

		<description>Even though a Clinton supporter started this rumor, from camp Obama&#039;s perspective, it isn&#039;t dishonest to blame it on &quot;conservatives.&quot;  I thought it was at first, too,  &lt;a href=&quot;http://spolitics.com/blog/2008/06/13/fight-the-obama-smears/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;until I realized:&lt;/a&gt;:

		<description>This is the way the left/MSM will compartmentalize and make somewhat irrelevant conservative blogs.  As they&#039;ve done w/conservative talk radio.  And its working, to some extent. The facts/truth have nothing to do with it. Its all about their strategy to be able to &quot;explain away&quot; their competition and paint them with a negative brush. They&#039;ll convince the masses of uninformed idiots out there that all right wing blogs are not to be trusted.  Its the same old thesis/anti-thesis tactic.  DD</description>

		<description>I wouldn&#039;t care if B.O. or M.O. both called me whitey, I&#039;m not ashamed to be white.

I hope some blogger doesn&#039;t start repeating everything I&#039;ve called the `USA Hating Obama Duo`.</description>

		<description>The first person i saw &quot;imply&quot; there was a tape was democratic strategist Bob Beckel on Fox news a couple of weeks ago.  I was listening to Rush&#039;s show when he mentioned the tape and he never said it existed.  In fact, Rush quoted Beckel.</description>

		<description>We all know a Hillary supporter was the big pusher of this rumor.  I did help spread it however...though I always stated there were no facts or evidence to back it up.  I always called it what it was...PURE RUMOR.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;It is beginning to sound like a setup by the left…

Ya think? Which is why I discouraged talking about it to begin with.</description>

		<description>Matters little anyway.  The verdict on Michelle is already in with or without the tape. This desperate &quot;locking of the barn&quot; is too little, too late.  The horse is definitely stolen.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Geraldo may be a lefty, but whenever he traffics in stuff like this they’ll just say that “Fox” was pushing the story.

Exactly, guilt by association.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;My babies daddy was a rumor once.
Texyank on June 15, 2008 at 3:36 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

…and that’s all it was!

Michelle clearly said…
”...my baby’s Daddy…”&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

“baby’s” is clearly a plural possessive pronoun not a singular adjective describing “Daddy”.</description>
