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?

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
