Democratic convention, night three: Aggrieved victim of Obama camp’s racial demagoguery to endorse Obama; Update: Messiah returns to earth, appears in Denver
posted at 8:06 pm on August 27, 2008 by Allahpundit
Harry Reid’s due to speak any minute now, followed a bit later by Evan Bayh and Tom Daschle. Bill Clinton gets his eight-minute quickie around 9 p.m. ET to impart the sort of national security wisdom he gleaned from letting Osama Bin Laden run free during the 1990s, then Biden comes on sometime around 10:15 to beat up on McCain. There had better be major attacks on the GOP tonight because the fightin’ nutroots is already grumbling about the lack of fightiness thus far and surely no one expects Captain Hope during his moment in the agora tomorrow to stoop to anything so mean as actual politics.
Two pieces to pass the time while you wait, the first a vignette from Joe Conason about Obama snubbing Billy Jeff’s invitation to dine and the second the obligatory, ceremonial, 1,000th Hot Air link to Sean Wilentz’s TNR piece from February about how the “post-racial candidate” demagogued Billary to racial oblivion. Consider it an ironic counterpoint to tonight’s piece in Politico about former Clinton lackey turned Obama supporter Rahm Emanuel demagoguing McCain to racial oblivion. Note to B.C.: It’s really nothing personal. Barry O’s cronies do this to everyone.
Update: Ah, I should have guessed. It’ll be Waffles, wearing the veteran badge of Absolute Moral Authority and martyred by the evil Rethuglican Swift Boat attacks, who’ll do the honors in bludgeoning McCain.
Update: Biden’s speech is over and The One is onstage.

Ebonics! Rocked da house!
carbon_footprint on August 27, 2008 at 10:57 PM
This is so sweet… doesn’t he look Presidential?
El_Terrible on August 27, 2008 at 10:57 PM
“rocked the house”. Very Presidential.

OK, Shep Smith is dropping the Dean Scream on Foxnews.com. I’m about to lose it.
fiatboomer on August 27, 2008 at 10:57 PM
Yep. Precisely.

Bill Clinton put monica lewinski in front of him at least..

OMG…they are SO f’ing fake with that God Bless America crap.

Now, The Boss squeezes out a loaf while Barry schmoozes.
The Ugly American on August 27, 2008 at 10:59 PM
Barack certainly is violent in his handshakes it seems.
James on August 27, 2008 at 10:59 PM
Lol!

LOL. Brit Hume: “Pure hokum.”
ganeshpuri89 on August 27, 2008 at 11:00 PM
Why is it that in the last few years male politicians are constantly hugging each other? Who started this trend?
gxpgxp on August 27, 2008 at 11:00 PM
omg who dressed these people
trailortrash on August 27, 2008 at 11:00 PM
So does anyone else think that was a huge mistake? He basically stepped all over Biden’s speech, put it on the back burner… all the attacks on McCain, out the window, the Messiah showed up, that’s what people remember.
El_Terrible on August 27, 2008 at 11:00 PM
Oh Lord, please touch the hem of my garment.
carbon_footprint on August 27, 2008 at 11:00 PM
The Lightbringer has left the building!

Or Barackropolis. Take your pick.
ReubenJCogburn on August 27, 2008 at 11:00 PM
That’s my question. The day they announced Biden, Michelle wore a splotched blue and green dress, it looked like a smurf threw up on her.
Enoxo on August 27, 2008 at 11:00 PM
Heheheheheheheheheheheh……
The Ugly American on August 27, 2008 at 11:00 PM
I bookmarked the live feed from outside the convention that was monitoring the ‘Recreate 68′ crowd.. no one is there..
I think their riot is an official fail..
DaveC on August 27, 2008 at 11:00 PM
Will there ever be a Jewish President?
ndulik on August 27, 2008 at 11:01 PM
What a chaotic mess… Don’t the families usually come out on the stage on the last night?
James on August 27, 2008 at 11:01 PM
Brit said that? I had the sound down to listen to Shep and Co.
mikeyboss on August 27, 2008 at 11:01 PM
I like yours better.
carbon_footprint on August 27, 2008 at 11:01 PM
Isn’t it beautiful? His egotistical nature screws him in the end all the time.
Enoxo on August 27, 2008 at 11:01 PM
A wondrous convention…forcing us to bring out our candidate a night early. NB the extended silence on MSNBC just breaking: just giving Keith a chance to get it back in his pants.
thirtypundit on August 27, 2008 at 11:01 PM
Shep Room is hilarious…
Y314K on August 27, 2008 at 11:01 PM
………. OK networks, pack up your bags and move across town.
Seven Percent Solution on August 27, 2008 at 11:01 PM

Pimping the kids again. God love the democrats.
SouthernGent on August 27, 2008 at 11:02 PM
I heart Brit Hume.
Dubn8tr on August 27, 2008 at 11:02 PM
*****first minute, post-speech, MSNBC:
MATTHEWS: “i think the people watching know Obama coming was spontaneity….. this is the first regular guy from the northeast, just like us… (cries)… if you’re from the northeast, you get it (cries)”
(watching it so you don’t have to)
battleoflepanto1571 on August 27, 2008 at 11:02 PM
yeah i watched all evening, they even read one of my emails lol
trailortrash on August 27, 2008 at 11:02 PM
Ebony and Ivory… In perfect harmony…
Oh wait, wrong song. We are family! Everybody blah blah blah blah.
Enoxo on August 27, 2008 at 11:02 PM
Biden can’t take away from the Messiah’s glory..
part of the reason why Biden was announce so late, I believe..
a dull white to blend into the background while the Messiah is doing his messiah like duties..
DaveC on August 27, 2008 at 11:03 PM
What……………. no balloons, just clowns?
Seven Percent Solution on August 27, 2008 at 11:03 PM
LOL…I know!
One of my co-workers is an Obama supporter and the first thing out his mouth about her first-night speech was…“What the hell is she wearing?”
The Ugly American on August 27, 2008 at 11:03 PM
Hey, cool! What did you say?
mikeyboss on August 27, 2008 at 11:03 PM
He did. I heard it too. Dumbass doesn’t even know what the members of his own party are called.

Where is this Shep room thing?
I want in on the party!
Enoxo on August 27, 2008 at 11:05 PM
Thanks! I thought I was hearing things.
He is really good without a script.
carbon_footprint on August 27, 2008 at 11:05 PM
wow.. someone is praying.. and it’s not to Obama.. unless they are already calling him God.
must be praying to Obama.. just reference ‘The Creator’ in a third person.
DaveC on August 27, 2008 at 11:05 PM
just said “you guys rock :thumbsup:”
but was cool to hear shep say my name LOL
trailortrash on August 27, 2008 at 11:06 PM
Unlike Kerry and Edwards, these guys seem to like each other. Guess we only get lucky once.

Memo to FOXNews…get some glass you can open and close.

Enoxo on August 27, 2008 at 11:08 PM
Shep looks drunk.

It’s like 4 guyz hanging at a Bar… Wait… They are in a Bar…LOL
Y314K on August 27, 2008 at 11:09 PM
PBS is doing yet another night of tired race pimping.
Hey, did you guys know Obama was black?
For real!
The Ugly American on August 27, 2008 at 11:09 PM
Wow, I didn’t know MSNBC was this blatantly in the tank for Obama. I thought it was more subtle than this. Surprising.
James on August 27, 2008 at 11:09 PM
Kondracke skewering Biden
SouthernGent on August 27, 2008 at 11:09 PM
Did they just change the lyrics to “We are Family” so that it doesn’t say “I’ve got all my sisters and me” and now says “I’ve got everybody and me”, or did I imagine that?
What do the PUMAS think of that?
CourtZero on August 27, 2008 at 11:10 PM
Really?! ZOMG, I thought that was the tan he got in Hawaii!
Enoxo on August 27, 2008 at 11:10 PM
Shep is the Man… He can smell a donkie from 2 feet away…
Y314K on August 27, 2008 at 11:11 PM
I thought I heard them change ‘sisters’ to ‘brothers’ on the first chorus.
progressoverpeace on August 27, 2008 at 11:11 PM
they have had some real good “catch people on the spot” reactions on sheps show tonight
trailortrash on August 27, 2008 at 11:11 PM
Toobin on CNN poo-poo’ing the Biden speech. Throwing cold water on the CNN panel. HAhaha.
SouthernGent on August 27, 2008 at 11:12 PM

Y314K on August 27, 2008 at 11:13 PM
Ahah, Shep is better like this… drunk and clumsy.
Enoxo on August 27, 2008 at 11:13 PM

Krauthhammer rocks.

He really is. So calm and thoughtful.
SouthernGent on August 27, 2008 at 11:16 PM
for some reason every time Krauthhammer comes on… I have to stop what I am doing and scream…. KRAUZZZZZ!!!! And point to him… Giving him props… Damn Hip-Hop Vid’z… I guess I subliminally consider KRAUZZZ!!!! My hommie…
Y314K on August 27, 2008 at 11:17 PM
wow.. I’m listening to this on POTUS 08 on XM.. the talking heads on there (no idea who they are) are asking each other how they feel about a black man as the nominee..
and talking about how great it was that Barack came out tonight and spoke..
DaveC on August 27, 2008 at 11:18 PM
MCCAIN just got thrown under bus by the One…!!!
