“And this is the testimony of one who speaks the truth and bears witness to the truth so that you might believe. And he knows it is the truth for he saw it all on CNN and the BBC and in the pages of The New York Times.”

Yes, powerful words, just as dog crap freshly run over by the wheels of my lawnmower is powerful.

I look inside the words and see a guy who doesn’t have a freakin’ clue what he’s doing, and behind that I see the likes of Soros.

If these liberal idiots are peeing their pants over a vacuous speech which rehashed the words of a conservative President, then they need to get their skulls realigned.

Thence he travelled west to Mount Sarkozy

LOL

abinitioadinfinitum on July 25, 2008 at 1:13 AM

And you still have people who are challenging him; when you look inside the words, what do they really mean? Quite frankly, we don’t know the answer to that, but the words are powerful.

Frank Luntz is a self-absorbed man who thinks he owns the words of the world. Heh.

Zero times zero is zero.

Frank Putz does this the liberals will listen and pay attention to him.. nothing more..

Chakra Hammer on July 25, 2008 at 1:42 AM

Frank Putz does this so the liberals will listen and pay attention to him.. nothing more..

then when he bashes Obama or praises McCain.. it will have more credibility…

See how that works?

;)

Chakra Hammer on July 25, 2008 at 1:44 AM

Obama says he;s a world citizen, he probably thinks that your troops should be tried in a World Court also..

Chakra Hammer on July 25, 2008 at 1:51 AM

Can ANYone explain to me why ANY Jew is supporting Obama? WHY? Didn’t some Jews support Hitler, too? In all seriousness, can someone explain this?

Jewicide

abinitioadinfinitum on July 25, 2008 at 2:23 AM

American Jews are gonna vote for the party that wants to be able to send any American off to a camp whenever they want?

Fat chance.

Matthew 7:14 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.”

Trtle2001 on July 25, 2008 at 12:22 AM

To borrow a phrase from the leftards, He is leading a bunch of sheeple.

abinitioadinfinitum on July 25, 2008 at 2:37 AM

I cried today too, laughing my head off at the stupidity of humanity.

It’s really tragic, though, and I should cry tears of sadness.

Entelechy on July 25, 2008 at 12:56 AM

See I knew you had a sophisticated sense of humor.

And as they say, laugh and the world laughs with you; cry and you cry alone.

MB4 on July 25, 2008 at 2:58 AM

This whole Obama phenomenon truly is getting esoterically scary.

Just because Obama is a socialist, perhaps a Marxist, and the adoration of his fans bears some similarities to the Third Reich and other fascist movements doesn’t indicate that he would send American’s off to “camps”. I’m not aware of any evidence at all that would suggest anything of the sort. Sure, the Fairness doctrine and some of the other anti-American tendencies of the Democrats may be troubling in combination with the other factors, but modern European socialism hasn’t resulted in gulags, even if leftist ideologies in other parts of the world have continued to exact a heavy death toll post WWII.

Leftist ideologies don’t always lead to mass-murder, although they all too often do.

FloatingRock on July 25, 2008 at 3:04 AM

Aah, another “conservative” suck in the 80s, Floating?

America couldn’t survive these days without handouts from Communist China.

The leaders of the right won’t admit it until their done selling our country to the Commies…

Wonder if one of McCain’s 13 homes is a condo in Shanghai?

alphie on July 25, 2008 at 3:08 AM

The Democrats, in a desperate bid to find someone as vacuous as Kerry found this airhead. The GOP , in an attempt to level the playing field, found someone that all Republicans hate and is punch drunk, or something.

pat on July 25, 2008 at 3:15 AM

Aah, another “conservative” s[t?]uck in the 80s, Floating?

alphie on July 25, 2008 at 3:08 AM

Ah, sorry, you must be a lefty troll and probably weren’t intending to suggest that Obama would turn out to be a mass-murderer like so many other leftist leaders in the past, many of whom commanded the same blind adoration of their followers as Obama currently does. You probably honestly believe that Bush has concentration camps tucked around the country with black helicopters and UFO’s flying around and other assorted kooky goings on. Maybe some evil clowns with acid spraying lapel flower pins?

Since you brought it up, I’m not one who supports shipping all of our vital industries over seas but on the other hand, I would rather be associated with the party who has trust in the overarching goodness of humanity and takes such a risk rather than with a political ideology which has so often led to the mass-murder of innocent civilians who’s only crime was to speak their minds or holding a political view divergent from the official line of a totalitarian government.

FloatingRock on July 25, 2008 at 3:25 AM

The Republicans still have a political ideology?

Wow, who knew?

alphie on July 25, 2008 at 3:31 AM

alphie on July 25, 2008 at 3:31 AM

It’s down but not out and still retains some semblance of it’s former glory, which in large part are the same principles our country was founded upon. Freedom and liberty. The same principles that many leftists claim to espouse even while they work feverishly to undermine them in favor of their Utopian fantasies.

FloatingRock on July 25, 2008 at 3:38 AM

Amen!

I don’t know that another word need be written about the Dalai Bama (pardon me while I mix spiritual metaphors) for the rest of the campaign. This sums it all up.

The last time I saw such fervor over following one man some 900 people ended up on their bloated bellies in a South American jungle.

Captain Scarlet on July 25, 2008 at 3:57 AM

… so surely he had time to spare for a private visit with the troops he admires so much.

AZCoyote on July 24, 2008 at 11:05 PM

Really, at least spare a few minutes for a laying on of hands.

soundingboard on July 25, 2008 at 6:20 AM

And lo, coming forth from our stomachs, arises yesterday’s breakfast.

pilamaye on July 25, 2008 at 7:19 AM

lmao, loved that article.

Aylios on July 25, 2008 at 7:36 AM

This is a great article…hopefully, it is satire. Unfortunately, too many people feel that way about Obambi.

This whole trip made me sick…and Im still sick and I’m awaiting the arising of yesterday’s breakfast. :)

becki51758 on July 25, 2008 at 7:37 AM

‘Dalai Bama’, that’s a nice one, mind if I reuse it Captain Scarlet?

Aylios on July 25, 2008 at 7:38 AM

I’ve gone into coke n popcorn mode on this whole thing.

Not being a US citizen I won’t be able to cast a vote for McCain anyway. So I’ll just sit back and enjoy the fireworks if the Obamesiah gets elected.

It might not be good for the planet, but it’s bound to be good for entertainment, at least until the Obabolsheviks come storming in and confiscate my PC for thought-crimes.

Aylios on July 25, 2008 at 7:41 AM

And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a little blow.

This is awesome. Seriously brilliant.

Tanya on July 25, 2008 at 8:07 AM

I just want to say that some stories make me think it’s a pity Allahpundit’s photoshopping days are behind him.

Quisp on July 25, 2008 at 8:11 AM

And suddenly, with the men appeared the archangel Gabriel and the whole host of the heavenly choir, ranks of cherubim and seraphim, all praising God and singing: “Yes, We Can.”

AMEN!

sabbott on July 25, 2008 at 8:18 AM

Frank Luntz is a jerk. Fox needs to hear from us about having him on. He lost all credibility last night on H&C and should not be on that network. Also Luntz.com should hear from us too. He’s a turd in the tank for Obama, nothing more.

wepeople on July 25, 2008 at 8:19 AM

Well, I thought it was funny anyway.

Asher on July 25, 2008 at 8:59 AM

Very funny. Had to look up priapic. Great new word.

Mrs. Happy Housewife on July 25, 2008 at 9:17 AM

I thought it was “cry and they laugh at you.” Silly me.
