Its ilk’s policies worsen the economy, make America weaker, do more harm than good to the environment, and other delightful results.

The troll knows it, but the troll loves it.

Possibly, but his claim is outrageous. If he’s going to be so spineless as to post a smear like that without backing it up, he should leave.

yup, as asked for some evidence and a defined term. Nothing but silence.

I believe that Nonfactor comment would fall into the category of “drive by comments”. Or perhaps, “gutless comments”.

What?

Not to mention racial commentary I’ve seen on this very blog about Michelle Obama.

Nonfactor on June 18, 2008 at 12:45 PM

What?

Well yeah but…Obama is also the guy who didn’t see or hear a single outrageous thing while attending his church for twenty years.

I get a chuckle out of the fact McCain is chartering his campaign magic carpet ride from JetBlue (a Soros airline investment vehicle, I think George own close to 11%).

You honestly think they’re attacking her jet? In that case, it shouldn’t be a problem that we’re going to attack Michelle Obama’s words.

Michelle’s gonna charge us $100 a word, like the Ass’d Press.

I hear ya and I’m switching to the DFL, that way I can factually blame everything on either Big Oil™, Neocon warmongers or the VRWC.

Like what? Like discussing Bill Clinton’s comments when he compared good ol’ Barak to Jesse Jackson? Name something.

And what do you mean by racial comments? Define that statement so we can be sure to be discussing the same thing.

Stop digging people. We’re not victims. We’re just acting like players behind in the game complaining about the officials.

It is pathetic to the extent to which those on the right want to be seen as the victims.

Nonfactor on June 18, 2008 at 12:31 PM

That is rich lol… Every day being 7 hours ahead I eat lunch while watching the latest / previous night’s complaining whines from Democrats, Obama supporters, Hillary supporters, the DNC, the liberal media etc. This is a scheduled daily event for me, have you been living on planet earth this election?

The left in general have a worse ‘victim complex’ than us Jews, whom incidentally at least earned ours violently over the last 5000 years or so.. Thanks for making my latte, that whip cream is exactly what I was missing :)

Nonfactor on June 18, 2008 at 12:42 PM

Wasn’t most of this stuff brought up by the Clinton campaign? Most of the criticism of Michelle O I have seen on this blog has to do with what she has said, which is certainly fair game.

Ever listen to Michelle O’s public statements?
No one gets a pass here.

Yeah, I added an update to clarify. Obviously this is vastly different from the attacks on Michelle O. I think Politico’s just surprised by the timing of this given how petty it is and all I’m trying to say is that Obama’s big defense of families is really nonsense, since if Cindy McCain said something offensive on the trail everyone on the left would be all over it, and fairly so.

Allahpundit on June 18, 2008 at 12:36 PM

Exactly. Thank you.

Nonfactor on June 18, 2008 at 12:42 PM

I agree with you re: the thesis stuff being nonsense (and have said as much here) and we haven’t said anything about her looks or bought into the “whitey” crap.

Buford Gooch on June 18, 2008 at 12:34 PM

Buffalo Bill?

For a second think of this. In this election cycle we’ve heard talk of Michelle Obama’s college thesis being a political issue, how she isn’t a real American, how there is a supposed tape out there with her saying “whitey,” crass commentary about her looks, and so on. The worst things we’ve heard about Cindy McCain is that she steals recipes from the Food Network. We all know Cindy McCain has far worse stuff in her past, but it isn’t brought up, and for good reason. The same way Obama expects McCain not to attack his family I’m sure you won’t see Obama attacking Cindy McCain’s well-known lapses.

It is pathetic to the extent to which those on the right want to be seen as the victims.

When it comes to understanding the human psyche and the vast differences between people’s thought processes, you are indeed a master.

So.. Bambi got a jet from somewhere as well… so Dean’s point is?
