Mobs shutting down entire cities with sit-down strikes when this election goes to the Supreme Court. We have to make them understand that AMERICAN WILL BURN TO THE GROUND if this election is stolen.

My word! Constipation and conflagration?

But here in the red part of a blue state, I spent 3 hours yesterday canvassing for Obama and down-ballot races, and will do so again today and later in the week. It doesn’t matter how far ahead we seem to be, now is the time to put the pedal to the metal. Make the Republicrook racists cry in their six packs.

It would be better if she slept with a member of a mainstream ‘successionist’ I suppose. Or should that be in the form of a question?

By the way, while I think Obama is simply being shrewd in avoiding personal attacks on McCain, McCain’s history is actually quite dubious. Obama simply doesn’t have a close relationship with Ayers while McCain’s does have a close and ongoing relationship with Gordon Liddy, various anti-Castro Cuban terrorists, and truly crazy retail preachers like Hagey, not to mention the public fact his running mate is literally in bed with a former member of a successionist fringe party. The they’re-all-alike meme works best when, well, they’re all alike.

McCain is to His Supporters as a reverend is to his parishioners.

If McCain spews language that encodes that Obama is the other because he’s “not like us” and that he “pals with terrorists” and then his supporters behave as if Obama is an “Arab” or they are “scared”, then McCain is to some degree responsible.

Now if a Reverend says “America’s chickens are coming home to roost” in one of his two sermons over the course of his tenure at a church. And then his parishioner says in a debate that the Bush administration took its eye off the ball and failed to kill Osama Bin Laden and that “We will kill bin Laden; we will crush al Qaeda” under his Presidency. That Reverend is not responsible for his behavior. He can’t take any credit for it at all.

I don’t believe McCain is racist. He wants to draw a contrast between him and Obama. The Ayers thing is fair game (even if I think he’s overblowing it), but it’s a very difficult game to play because he has to criticize without demonizing – something the Republican party hasn’t been able to do in a long time.

Listen, I’ve already heard on campus how McCain sold out his buddies to get special treatment during his time as a POW, how he recklessly shot himself down anyway, so on and so on. It is a little better than 2004, when I was hearing about how much the bush family supported hitler and profited from the holocaust – but that is probably a reflection of the polls. Should they tighten up another few points, I’m sure I’ll learn McCain’s father blew up the Maine to start the Spainish-American war …

holding McCain responsible for what a few folks in his audience yell at his campaign stops is a far higher standard that holding a 20-year member of a church for a few comments that person’s minister makes ;-)

not necessarily. every network (or cable) show from the news to dancing with the stars to the superbowl includes local availabilities, which may be sold by the local station or local cable company to national, regional or local advertisers.

i think the other commenters are probably correct – that the buys they are seeing are at the network level – but there’s no way to know for sure unless one can see the local station’s or cable company’s log.

Around this day in October, 2000, GW was closing the deal and the polls were tied. No Democrat haa had a +10 against a Republican after the conventions since Clinton.

‘Neutron Bomb’, works also, but too is a bit immature of a response. It is funny, the sell out fears, since Obama is so well established in the mythical American ‘center’ that any could feign hurt or shortcomings when he doesn’t act as ‘left’ as the far right paints him to be. Any counting on the concreteness of such Hope™ for Change© have lost already. That’s notto say stop pushing, just to not be disappointed if your $2 Powerball ticket only wins you $1 back.

Just two words: Grow up.

Good point. Obama and the dems will sell us out, but this us does not include you?
Or means us just the citizenship as a whole?
