apparently boon mee was told by the bloggers to use the word 'elitist'.....he used it four times yesterday---not including the one he put in the red he sent me.

it's actually pretty sad.

Well, at least he learned how to spell it from his "grassroots info" sources, he does have an edge over his pal John L.

Who said blogs aren't good for anything?

raycarey

i don't want to give the impression that i'm anti-blog.
there are more than a few political bloggers out there who are quite reputable and make genuine contributions to the discourse....unfortunately boon mee hasn't come across them yet.
but more to the point, even if they were reputable, what's to be gained by simply parroting (or more commonly cutting and pasting) someone else's opinion?

for example, i think if one were to check the blogs that boon mee regularly cites here, you'd find that the word 'elitist' is featured prominently.

Boon Mee

Heh...then you might recognize yourself, eh?

The advantage of the term "elitist" is, that it is fairly nondescript and consequently can not easily be disproved like allegations of being a Muslim fundie, commie or black racist.

It may put many of the followers of the rightwing blogosphere off that they have never heard of it before and it's relatively difficult to remember how to spell it, but it might just stick unlike the other labels branded about.

Boon Mee

Well, the elitist 'shoe' certainly fits w/one certain individual on this here forum, eh?

raycarey

boon mee, i'm not responsible for your inferiority complex....and neither is obama.

BobbyTits

Ray , you think Obama still has a shot ?

raycarey

a shot?

he's the front runner...over both clinton and mccain.

racists like you would never vote for him....but he'll likely still win because most americans are more highly evolved than the likes of you.

BobbyTits

I disagree, is that ok with you Ray ?

raycarey

with what?
that obama is the front runner, or that most americans are more highly evolved than the likes of you?

of course it is bobby. i didn't realize you were so delicate.

BobbyTits

Ray , I am the most highly evolved of the so called Americans being that I picked up and got tha fok out of there.

One day you may be able to do the same.


Until then ........

The full video of Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s now-infamous “God Damn America” sermon has been posted by Fox News here, in three parts: Sermon Video Presents Obama’s Former Pastor in His Own Words.

Heh...so much for the 'taken out of context' argument.

"God bless America? No! God Damn America!" -- "Rev" Wright

Obama is in the lead. Charisma, looks, speech power. How come I keep feeling he has another agenda?

I assume some people hope he has.

raycarey

well, since you asked, here's my opinion......you're a racist and he's black.

Jet Gorgon

^ I think you are locked into a one-sided argument that leads to nowhere. Know why? Because you refuse to see any side but your own.

Boon Mee

You're not alone, Jet.

This guy is a wrong-O all dressed up with an articulate delivery is all. Just who is Barack Obama, eh?

Why don't you have a look at his activities in senate up to date?
