    • Evil Pundit says:

      Palin knows about Bill Ayers, Obama’s terrorist friend.

      Time to party!

      • wut says:

        KEATING 5.

        • Evil Pundit says:

          Ah yes, the four corrupt Democrats and the innocent McCain.

          Pretty pathetic.

          • PiMan says:

            Correction:
            Three corrupt democrats while Glenn and McCain were criticised for “poor judgement” (but yes, cleared of all charges)

          • wut says:

            McCain had numerous interactions with Keating and took his money. Obama wasn’t even on the same level with Ayers.

            • Evil Pundit says:

              Obama took Tony Rezko’s money. And Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s.

              • PortlandMark says:

                Don’t change the subject. We were discussing a repected college professor, not another member of the Republican Middle Class.

                • Evil Pundit says:

                  Don’t change the subject. We were discussing Obama’s terrorist friends, not his corrupt friends.

                  • PiMan says:

                    No we aren’t. We are talking about about McCain’s connections to corruption as a comparison to Obama’s connections.

                    • Evil Pundit says:

                      And we concluded that McCain has no connections to corruption, as opposed to Obama — who got his house and lots of money tyhrough convicted criminal Tony Rezko.

                      • rogueposter says:

                        Thats your conclusion perhaps. But as far as i can see both candidates are supposed to have *bad relations*. Your conclusion is merely requoting your own suspicion while blissfully ignoring anything that says otherwise.

                        Further question: Shouldn’t politics have something to do with plans/ideas, rather than a game of throwing random unproven accusations?

                        Congratulations. You reconfirmed my opinion America’s politics make no sense at all.

                  • chrissy says:

                    having friends that may or may not be terrorists does not necessarily make Obama a terrorist. I have friends that are Christian, Catholic, Jewish, Jahova, Communist, Liberal, Labour, Conservative, Republican and Democrat, yet i am none of the above. Having relationships with people of a certain belief does not mean that you hold those same beliefs or even agree with every single action they take in their lives. So judging any political figure solely on the company they keep is an extremely flawed method.

              • wut says:

                Nice dodge. What are you going to do when Obama wins? Implode?

      • Lolnathan says:

        I was wondering what was taking them so long to use that particular smear. Guess they decided to save it for closer to the election.

        • Evil Pundit says:

          Truth hurts. Obama’s close association for several years with Ayers and Dohrn has finally come back to haunt him.

          [I]n 1970[,] three of [Ayers'] confederates, including his then girlfriend Diana Oughton, were accidentally killed when the explosive they were building to Ayers specifications (Ayers was a bomb designer) went off during construction. As noted in Ayers’ Discover the Networks profile, the explosive had been a nail bomb. Back when Ayers was being more honest about his intentions, he admitted that the purpose of that bomb had been to murder United States soldiers:

          That bomb had been intended for detonation at a dance that was to be attended by army soldiers at Fort Dix, New Jersey. Hundreds of lives could have been lost had the plan been successfully executed. Ayers attested that the bomb would have done serious damage, “tearing through windows and walls and, yes, people too.”

          In fact, Ayers was a founder of the Weatherman terror group and he defined its purpose as carrying out murder. Again, from Discover the Networks:

          Characterizing Weatherman as “an American Red Army,” Ayers summed up the organization’s ideology as follows: “Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, Kill your parents.”

          Now he wants you to think they just wanted to break a few dishes. But in his book Fugitive Days, in which he boasts that he “participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972,” he says of the day that he bombed the Pentagon: “Everything was absolutely ideal. … The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them.”

          • Lolnathan says:

            Out of curiosity what is Obama’s tie to them exactly? Wasn’t he a little kid during the years they were active?

            • froofrou says:

              Click my name. It’s not a long article, and I appologize for not knowing if this is a left or right wing article, but it does illustrate one tie between the two. There are many more than this, however.

              • Evil Pundit says:

                That article is pretty much on the money.

                One detali it leaves out was the launch of Obama’s political career at a fundraising party held at Ayers’ and Dohrn’s house. Strangers they were not.

                • D'oh says:

                  EP, Obama worked with Ayers on “a non-profit group trying to raise funds for a school improvement project and a charitable foundation.”. Ayers was in the position of a university professor. When Ayers was charged for those actions, Obama was friggin’ 8 years old!

                  • froofrou says:

                    I will conceed that point, but Ayers has been notorious for speaking out about wishing they ‘had done more’ and implying that he wnated to kill more people. He is completely unrepentant, and you are judged by the company you keep. This is true of everyone, not just Obama. It’s just that he tends to gravitate toward the Saul Alinski-types who cite Lucifer, terrorists, and racial incitors as friends and mentors. He cannot possibly claim ignorance of this, and if he truly is ignorant of it, then he is less capable of being President than Palin is of being VP. You don’t want a man that oblivious going to a foreign country to negotiate with a terrorist while missing the nuclear warhead sitting in the corner of the room.

                    • rick says:

                      Awful comparison. Ayers is not a nuclear warhead in any sense of the metaphor.

                      • froofrou says:

                        I never said he was. What I said is that if Obama claims ignorance of Ayers and his terrorist past, then he will be ignorant of other big things. So either Obama is a liar, or he is missing the obvious.

                        • ck says:

                          When has he claimed ignorance of Ayers’s past?

                        • froofrou says:

                          He has claimed ignorance of Ayers statements about wishing they had done more and killed more people, and he has professed ignorance of Wright’s racist inciting statements. I believe he said “that’s not the Jeremiah WRight I knew” for the past 20 years.

                  • Robert says:

                    The “non-profit group” in question was a organization designed to help education. It did nothing for education and was used to indoctrinated children with Saul Alinsky-like rhetoric

            • wut says:

              A NYT article came out about this a couple of days ago. I linked to it.

              • froofrou says:

                Ayers comments about ‘making mistakes in the past’ is a recent thing. Like the last couple of months. He’s been pretty clear that he’s not sorry for the bombings, and wishes he “had done more.”

          • hotsauce says:

            OMG he knows a college professor who did something bad almost 40 years ago, but against whom all charges were dropped!!!!!!!!

            • Evil Pundit says:

              The charges were only dropped because of prosecutorial misconduct.

              Ayers himself admits he was guilty, and says he wished he’d committed more acts of terrorism.

              That’s the kind of person Obama associates with.

              • D'oh says:

                O really EP? Did Obama ever say he liked Ayers actions? They were both in a non-profit organisation 40 years after Ayers charges. Obama has 0.00000 to do with Ayers actions.

                • froofrou says:

                  Read my post a few threads up. The company you keep is pretty important, agreement or not.

                  • Attila the Blond says:

                    How about the company one’s voting record goes along with? McCaing hearts bushco over 90% of the time. SERIOUSLY more of a probleme than knowing someone who had legal problems 40years before you ment them

                    • Lolnathan says:

                      I’m not sure the ties between Obama and Ayers are really that close, but regardless, associating with someone who admits to having bombed the Pentgon, the Capitol, and NYPD HQ is a little worse than voting in line with your party.

                      You comparison is ridiculous.

                    • Evil Pundit says:

                      Obama voted with the Democrats 97% of the time. That’s when he even bothered to vote at all. He’s a lot less bipartisan than McCain.

                      • rogueposter says:

                        The problem with McCains republican voting is not that he votes for only one party. The problem is that 90% of the time he supports one of the worst presidents in history.

                        Taking that in mind, 97% democrat (= antiBush) voting is more positive than negative…

                • Robert says:

                  Quite frankly, if I found out someone blew up the Pentagon, I would cease all association with them.

            • blah says:

              “who did something bad almost 40 years ago”

              So, by that logic – in 33 years if Osama bin Laden popped up and offered to teach our kids how to make cookies, that’d be ok, ’cause it’s been like 40 years since he did anything bad. And if someone born, say twenty years from now ended up taking his classes and hanging out with him and then decided he wanted to be President, we’d have no reason to hold it against him that he’s friends with bin Laden ’cause it’s been a long time since bin Laden did anything.
              -
              Does the phrase “hang with horse thieves” ring a bell?

              • ck says:

                Was Ayers convicted of anything?

                • blah says:

                  Conviction or not, it doesn’t change that he *did* it, and he *admits* he did it, and he wishes he did more. That just shows he was able to manipulate the legal system and get out of it. If bin Laden somehow got through the legal system with a plea bargain or something, would that make him any less of a monster? Could you be his pal then? Convictions are moot when it’s 100% certain the person is guilty by their own admission.

                  • Lolnathan says:

                    He only got off due to prosecutorial misconduct, his being a terrorist is not in dispute. Ayers is most definitely an America-hating peice of sh*t who should be locked away, not teaching at some university. I doubt he and Obama are actually close though.

          • Ceefax says:

            Sarah Palin says the New York Times is hardly ever wrong and the end of the very article she claims to have read (You know, instead of just being told to mention it in one of her speeches) they say

            “But the two men do not appear to have been close. Nor has Mr. Obama ever expressed sympathy for the radical views and actions of Mr. Ayers.”

            This woman is a walking failure, even you wouldn’t have made this much of a fool of yourself EP.

            • Evil Pundit says:

              I don’t think Sarah Palin has ever claimed that the NYT is hardly ever wrong.

              The NYT is a propaganda organ for the Democratic Party. If it even acknowledges that Ayers exists, then the issue is coming out. Of course, the NYT article was a whitewash.

              You’d rather have a candidate who supports terrorists than a candidate who supports America. That’s your prerogative.

              • ck says:

                You’re such a blatant troll. It’s funny, actually. Do you act like this in real life?

                • Evil Pundit says:

                  Ah yes, the old ‘when you’re beaten on the facts, call your opponent a troll’ trick.

                  • ck says:

                    What facts? It’s just the same old opinions, hyperbole, smears, and outright lies that one would expect from any right wing nutjob blog. Copypasta ftw!

                    • Evil Pundit says:

                      Here are some more facts for you. The link is under my name.

                      Ayers, who spent a year observing the Cook County Temporary Juvenile Detention Center in Chicago, is one of four panelists who will speak on juvenile justice at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20, in the C-Shop …

                      Ayers will be joined by Sen. Barack Obama, Senior Lecturer in the Law School, who is working to combat legislation that would put more juvenile offenders into the adult system …

                      Michelle Obama, Associate Dean of Student Services and Director of the University Community Service Center, hopes bringing issues like this to campus will open a dialogue between members of the University community and the broader community.

                      That was in 1977. Both Obamas, up to their necks with Bill Ayers the terrorist.

              • some girl says:

                And the Bush families ties to the Bin Laden family? No comments about that? Yeah, I Didnt think so. Tool.

                • froofrou says:

                  Disproven over and over again. Get new material.

                  • D'oh says:

                    And so is the conclusion about the Obama-Ayers connection. They worked toghether in a non-profit organisation, met/talked a few times, and Obama called his acts “detestable”, clear enough?

                    • Evil Pundit says:

                      Nope.

                      The Obamas both helped Ayers launch his book in 1997. See the link under my name.

                      And Obama’s political career was launched at Ayers’ home in 1995.

                      They were thick as thieves.

                    • froofrou says:

                      The difference is that there are ZERO ties between Bush and Bin Laden, and Obama started his campaign in Ayers’ house. Called the acts deststable, sure, but didn’t cease association with him. It isn’t as simple as people claim, that the two live in the same city and might have talked once or twice, because that simply isn’t true.

              • Ceefax says:

                “I donโ€™t think Sarah Palin has ever claimed that the NYT is hardly ever wrong.”

                Uh, you’d think anyone with even a vague interest in politics would have read her speech that’s been all over the newx for the past 48 hours

                “according to the New York Times, and they are hardly ever wrong” – Sarah Palin

                • Evil Pundit says:

                  Sarcasm. Do you know it?

                  • Ceefax says:

                    Wiggling ouf of getting owned fail. Maybe Palin could try that one as well “Oh, when I said we should attack over the border into Pakistan? Oh come on, don’t you guys get sarcasm?”

                    Would be slightly less week than the euphemism “misspoke”

        • wut says:

          I’m waiting for Palin to go all out in desperation and start calling him Barack Hussein Obama. Oh noes, he’s a TERRORIST!!!

          • Evil Pundit says:

            Well, it is his name.

            But nobody is claiming Obama is a terrorist himself. He’s just a close friend of at least two unrepentant terrorists — Bill Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn.

          • Robert says:

            Not a terrorist, a socialist. Get it right.

            • Bob says:

              Jesus, are you all really that blindly stupid? Who cares about the nature
              of his beliefs? It doesn’t matter if people label him as a terrorist or a
              socialist, what matters is what he’s actually done and said. What exactly
              was taken out of context when he said he wish he could’ve done more,
              when he did bomb the pentagon and a judge’s house? That was an act of
              socialism?

      • Ceefax says:

        And if we’re going down the ‘America hater by association’ route that the GOP are now trying to take, one of Alaskan Secessionists Sarah Palin told to “Keep up the good work” says “The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government”.

      • GomerPhyls says:

        And you think a single drop of Palin’s wasn’t pre-scripted and written on those cue cards? Where do you think she’s been for the last 6 weeks? Oh, that’s right, she’s been at Camp David taking a crash course in public speaking and all things important because as evidenced by the Katie Couric and Charlie Gibson interviews she’s an isolated podunk redneck that doesn’t know jack about the world beyond the microcosm that is Alaska. As further evidence I point to the fact that at the debate she only answered 2/18 questions she was asked, the rest of the time she was back-tracking to energy policy, telling anecdotes, and fist-pumping the Republican party and John McCain.

        • Scott says:

          Camp David is a presidential retreat – Sarah Palin isn’t President yet.

          Nice to know you have the image in your mind though, won’t that just blow your liberal mind.

          • GomerPhyls says:

            Whatever dude… She’s been holed-up somewhere memorizing talking points and track records so that she could actually give intelligent (although totally irrelevant to most of the questions asked) answers. Here’s a story about how she spent the two days preceding the debates at McCain’s “rustic creek side home” for “debate camp.” That must be where I got the name Camp David (My bad, I got the location wrong. Does it really matter?).

            http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/28/palin-in-debate-camp-until-thursday/

        • Robert says:

          You mean the way Barack Obama ignored the responsibility he was elected for to prepare for his debate with John McCain?

      • Jim says:

        I’m surprised that noone mentioned this previously although I consider it a bit of cheap shot since it happened a looooong time ago and apparently there was just one copy of the same doc that didn’t give credit while all the other copies did; according to what I’ve read.

    • Scott says:

      And you’re a liberal moron who can’t stand to civilly disagree with someone on the issues. Question her point of view, not silly talking points.

        “And youโ€™re a liberal moron who canโ€™t stand to civilly disagree with someone on the issues. Question her point of view, not silly talking points.” [Emphasis mine]

        Argumentum ad Hominem, FTW!

        • Scott says:

          Fight fire with fire. If someone posts something legitimate about her policies I’ll debate them on the issues. If someone posts something as moronic as “she knows nothing” then I’ll call them a moron.

          She’s an accomplished popular governor, not the caricature the Daily Kos and the like would have you believe.

          • Kurt says:

            You might want to double check the “popular governor” part of your comment. While not long ago her approval ratings were in the 80’s they have recently dropped to, if I’m not mistaken, around the upper 60’s. Which, while in itself isn’t bad, is not heading in the direction of popularity.

            • Obama Hussein says:

              My Obama Youth marching drones will take care of her ! Heil Obam.. uh..Hope!

            • Lolnathan says:

              She had the highest approval rating of any Governor in the US from my understanding, upwards of 90% in mid-2007, and even with the drop the VP run has caused, I think she is still #2. Regardless of what people say about her qualifications to VP, which are clearly lacking, she is one of the best Governors in the country, and is just about perfect for Alaska. She accomplished quite a bit up there.

              The moron trolls on this site would have you believe that she is some stupid airhead, but frankly anyone who actually believes that is pretty low on the brains totem pole themselves. She is highly intelligent and very charismatic. She just doesn’t have sufficient experience on a national level for the VP slot.

              Some of the radical leftist folks here can’t distinguish between a lack of intelligence and a lack of experience. I’m not exactly a big supporter of the Republicans but if theres one thing I can’t stand it’s idiots on the Internet who couldn’t manage to formulate a constructive bit of criticism if their life depended on it. It’s the same way with a lot of the Obama critics. All they do is parrot something else they’ve been told and when you try to engage them on the issues they don’t respond, because they have no clue what they are talking about.

              If anyone is an unintelligent airhead, it’s the average Armchair Politician on the Internet who doesn’t know how to do anything except hurl verbal feces and jump around like a monkey. If someone wants to be taken seriously they can give credit where credit is due instead of adopting an all-or-nothing approach where someone is either the Messiah or utterly useless.

              It’s really a shame that mature and informed political debate is almost impossible to find on the Internet. Too many partisan pundits running around chanting catchy phrases instead of discussing issues and facts. Look at Pundit Kitchen. According to people here:

              1) Obama is a terrorist.
              2) Obama is the Messiah
              3) Sarah Palin is some bimbo McCain picked up at a truck stop in Alaska.
              4) Sarah Palin wants to take away everyones freedoms.
              5) McCain is just George Bush 3.0, after all Republicans are all the same right?
              6) Obama wants to tax everyone to death and put everyone on welfare.

              I could go on forever. There are no informed, researched opinions here except for from a small handful of us. Everyone else honestly believes every extreme imaginable. And this is on the whole Internet too, not just here.

              • D'oh says:

                I thought Palin left Wassila in debt? Also the fact that Palin is liked, doesn’t mean she’s actually good.
                Also, the fact is that McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time, that’s pretty similair policy wise. But the campaign is not busy distantiating himself from Bush on the issues, nooo the campaign is busy with the same old identity politics. If he’s really not Bush 3.0, why doesn’t he show that he’s different on the issues and policies?

                But that aside, yes, it’s all about identity politics in both camps. I never understood why, someone here sad to me that you can compare US Politics with a football match. Why don’t people see past that?

                • froofrou says:

                  Just to answer one part of your post, voting along the party line 90% of the time is pretty typical of a senator, no matter what party you belong to. 90% is actually a little low. At least he was there to vote.

                • Lolnathan says:

                  Well I don’t know about how she did as a Mayor. I was referring to her job as Governor thus far. It’s hard to get a 93% approval rating if you’re screwing up though. Look at Bush, he’s a likeable enough down-to-earth kind of person, much like Sarah Palin, yet his approval rating is somewhere near 0%. Approval rating is very much tied into performance, rather than appearance.

                  • PiMan says:

                    Lord Mayor John So of Melbourne was the most liked politician in Australia (not sure on current standings). No other politicians liked him because he didn’t show
                    up to meetings and wasted large amounts of public funds.
                    .
                    He was described as “possibly the first city leader to enjoy โ€˜cult statusโ€™”. Click my name then scroll to the bottom for more info.
                    .
                    My point is that it is entirely possible for someone to be bad at their job and still have a very high approval rating.

              • Kurt says:

                Very well worded argument Nathan, however I have been awake for less than an hour, and my mind has not booted up to the point where I can respond to it yet. So once I’ve had a bit of caffeine and some time to wake up, To quote palin (j/k) I’ll get back to you on that.

                Most (and possibly only) intelligent post in this thread.

  4. 15234 says:

    You know, it concerns me that, if she did so bad why does everyone explode over it? It’s like the media is trying to assure the masses that the impossible hasn’t happened. Like a cover up, but done by the media. Most everyone I’ve talked to said she did amazing, and everyone I’ve heard say that she lost to me in person got that impression from watching the news.

    • PiMan says:

      Have any of the people you know changed their minds about Palin because of the debate, or did they already support her as potential VP? Because it may just indicate that most of the people you talk to are very biased, and that you are biased for thinking the rest of the people you talked to could only get their opinion fed to them by the media.

    • Cookies28 says:

      I know this may surprise you, but there are plenty of people out there who can form opinions about a candidate without consulting the news media. Ya know, they actually have brains & can think for themselves to make an informed decision that Sarah Palin does not have the knowledge, nor background to be able to perform the job of VP of the US effectively.

      She’s good at winking & smiling & saying “oh gosh” types of statements, appealing to the Girl Scout troop leaders of the world. That does NOT work for VP of the US.

      Must have happened before the cameras were on, or otherwise after they were turned off. It certainly didn’t happen during the debate.

        • 15234 says:

          I think it’s funny just how much mistakes he made. It also says how desperate/vicious the left wing is. If Palin had made half as many mistakes as Biden she probably would have gotten the boot.

          • Robert says:

            If Sarah Palin or John McCain had said half of the ridiculous things Joe Biden and Barack Obama have said (57 States, people in Iraq speak Arabic, telling a wheelchair-bound man to stand up, admitting lack of qualifications, the list goes on) their campaigns would have been over. It’s all you would hear about every day.

                The Sudan divestment bill would have passed the Alaska legislature last January if Palin’s administration hadn’t killed the bill. Then in April when it was too late to push it through and the heat was on Palin for killing it, she showed to say she’d support it. Now she’s taking claim for supporting its passage this coming January?

                • froofrou says:

                  *A* lie as opposed to many by Biden, the least of which that Obama voted against the war (he wasn’t in the Senate at the time), and that he said two years ago that the Fannie Mae thing was coming (that was McCain)? Hmmmmmmmm………

                  • Robert says:

                    Well, and the Bush administrations been saying that Fannie/Freddie were gonna be a problem for the last 8 years. And there was a hearing in 2004to investigate that turned into political name calling by Democrats.

            • Jenessa says:

              So basically your point is that not knowing the facts is ok as long as you didn’t do it on purpose. If she got something wrong on accident that worries me in a different way than if it was on purpose, but not any less. Being ignorant is not better than being an asshole, just different

          • michaelf says:

            * It’s “simply not true” that Barack Obama said he’d meet Iran’s president without preconditions, Biden insisted.

            Yet when Obama was asked if he would in a debate during the primaries, he said yes – a position Biden back then termed “naive.”

            * Biden said he’s “always supported” clean-coal technology – after stating emphatically only last month, “We’re not supporting clean coal.”

            * Biden asserted – repeatedly – that the US spends more money on three weeks’ combat in Iraq than it’s spent in Afghanistan since the war began.

            That claim’s only remotely intelligible if he limits Afghan expenditures merely to US rebuilding efforts – and even then, he’s off by a factor of three, according to State Department numbers.

            * Also on Afghanistan, Biden insisted – repeatedly – that “our commanding general in Afghanistan said the surge principle in Iraq will not work” there.

    Did they seriously just give us two virtually identical lols in a row? It’s pretty bad when I disagree with Palin on virtually everything but #1 on my list of reasons not to vote for McCain/Palin is so that come November 4th we can get some originality back on this site.

    Imagine… no Bush, McCain, or Palin to use for lols… makes you wonder what we WILL have on this site, doesn’t it?

    • DeathWyrmNexus says:

      Porn, lots and lots of porn. With Senators. I plan to leave then.

    • Phaelin says:

      A couple of days or so of “I should be in that house” lols or “that was going to be house #8″ and then things will calm down. The economy will still suck, and Obama won’t show off some impressive fix-all for everything, pissing most people off (despite the fact that there’s not much anyone can do right now) and then Obama hate-lols MIGHT start coming in.

      Of course, I’m of the impression that we’re going to hate whoever is in office next no matter what.

      • Lolnathan says:

        I feel sorry for Obama. So much hype that even if he is a SUPERB President, he still won’t live up to expectations. People are, as you said, expecting an impressive fix-all. People need to keep in mind it took the Bush administration 8 years to get us where we are today, and generally things take longer to fix than they do to break. Even a two-term Barack Obama will not be able to fix everything. If that even happens. If we end up having to get into another war his war-weary supporters are going to turn on him like a pack of hungry wolves and he won’t see a second term.

        • PiMan says:

          But of course, I think Democrats believe in talking before killing, so getting into another war is all the less likely under Obama than McCain. Not to say impossible, just less likely.

          • YumYum says:

            Talking before killing… right… like in Bosnia.

            Democrats support whatever war the Party tells them to.

            • herb says:

              Wow. Way to spoil a valid observation with an asinine bit of ad-hom bullshit. An intelligent counter might have been: “And just how much talking did Clinton try in Bosnia?” or something to that effect.

              You, sir, are not a credit to your Party.

              • cookies28 says:

                Ehhh….ignore the Yum Dum. He’s probably too busy
                wiping the sugar off his fingers from stuffing donuts

          • Michael Cole says:

            Talking before killing….let’s see Wars started with a democrat in office….World War I and Two, Somalia, Bosnia and I guess you could toss in Vietnam since it was LBJ was the President that esculated it. We could go with a lot less of that kind of talk

            • Jenessa says:

              you can’t just lump all these wars together. Yes Vietnam was a disaster adn a bad idea, but World War II stopped Hitler, which i think is important enough to start a war. Saying that a democrat was in office when we entered that war is not an insult or a mark against them at all

              • Michael Cole says:

                Why is a World War to stop Hitler thing. But a war against people who attack women and children in a cowardly act of terrorism something that needs to be protested?

            • PiMan says:

              In both World Wars the US took two years longer than the rest of the world to get involved. And they only got involved once heavily provoked.
              WWI – Wilson elected in 1913, war starts in 1914, US enters in 1916.
              WWII – Roosevelt elected in 1933, war starts in 1939, US enters in 1941.
              These actually help prove my point, the US didn’t get involved until there was no other option.

        • wut says:

          In comparison, there’s really no hype surrounding McCain. If he becomes president and ends up being just like Bush most people will shrug their shoulders and say “What else did you expect?”

        • Robert says:

          Eh, Barack is just a young, black Jimmy Carter.

      • 15234 says:

        One of the features of being president these days is having the entire country hate you. It’s not just Bush, it’s the presidency itself.

        • Kurt says:

          I’m reminded of an episode of Scrubs. The one where Dr. Kelso, while talking to a new intern mentions becoming Chief of Medicine in 1985 and thinking he should have been on top of the world, only to find out that being in that position meant he’d have to make one unpopular decision after another.

    • michaelf says:

      Good point. I’ve got a couple dozen I’ve created. And I’m sure I’m not the only one. So it’s not like they’re out there. It’s the owners of this site showing their obvious bias. I’ll keep trying until they kick me off.

      But it’s pretty blatant.

      • Tairii says:

        It’s not the owners of the site that are biased, it’s the users.
        And all this bias is showing is that more people who find McCain/Palin/Bush lolz funny are registered and vote for lolz, when compared to people who are registered and find Obama/Biden/Democrat lolz funny.
        So, maybe instead of owner bias it’s sense of humor bias?

        • D'oh says:

          Sense of humor is biased almost per definition
          Anyway, this one is kinda lame. Yea we know Palin doesn’t know much about the subjects, nothing particulary funny about that.

  9. ryszard says:

    Oh, ha, ha. A Republican is stoopid. Vry fny.

    You know, PK, you don’t HAVE to post something if it isn’t funny. I notice that you make very few new posts on other non-kitteh blogs (probably because there aren’t as many submissions), but at least they tend to be humorous.

    I have resisted this assertion by others, but to continue to post such vapid material simply because it is anti-conservative really does make it begin to appear that the site itself is biased.

    PK, could we get back to displaying some actual HUMOR here?

  10. angie-la says:

    what i think is humerous is that people are blaming bush for the economy…HELLO the clinton administration is responsible for the Fannie Mae and Freddic Mac idea to begin with…he had the same idea as obama with helping the middle class….look where we are now…millions in foreclosure putting the banks under across america

    • 15234 says:

    • D'oh says:

      Wasn’t it Bush who promoted those unsafe morgages? I could be wrong though.

      • Robert says:

        No, as I’ve said before, and will probably say again, the Bush Administration has been talking about the dangers involved in these mortgages since 2000, and there were hearings in 2004, that ended in the Democrats calling Republicans racist because they dared to criticize his (poor) managing of Fannie Mae.

  12. GomerPhyls says:

    It only makes sense that Pundit Kitchen posts the same old tired “jokes” about Palin and McCain week after week. What else are they going to post? You know, since the Repugnants are do damn lazy to make their own LOLs and expect everyone else to make the LOLs for them…
    Seriously… Do I need to post it again? Still haven’t gotten a link that I asked for 4 days ago… It’s not that hard guys… You click LOLBuilder, find a McCain or Palin picture, add some pro-Republican text and click submit… Seriously, the Democrats don’t seem to have a problem doing it as evidenced by all the anti-McCain/Palin pics on the front page.
    Honestly, I don’t think Republicans are capable of saying something nice… just whining about how they’re being persecuted even though they make low-blow attacks on our candidate far more often than we do theirs.

    • Lolnathan says:

      People have been sharing their pro-Republican lols lately on occasion, but none of them seem to get to the voting page. I mean, they aren’t particularly great, but they aren’t as horridly stupid as the Palin ones we’ve been getting.

      • GomerPhyls says:

        This is the 4th thread I’ve asked for a link. I check back on all the posts where I’ve asked and I’ve yet to get a link. I usually keep pretty current on the voting pages too and have yet to see them there. I did see this one though and it had 40+ votes, which is why I imagine Pundit Kitchen posted it. Maybe I should start ragging on the Repugnants on how lazy they are at voting along with making LOLs.

        • Ceefax says:

          Maybe, rather than is being a Massive Liberal Conspiracy formed in the Underground Volcano Lair, the amount of Republican lols which are submitted and voted onto the front page has something to do with the fact the internet is global and, thanks to the Bush Administration, about 80% of the people in the world are backing Obama in this election.

          Perhaps if some of these whiners unplugged their modem, disconnected themselves from the rest of the world and started making LOLs in their local church hall with a copy of the New York Times and some Sharpies then they’d find the political LOL spread more to their liking.

      Oh yawn, if they’re going to flip out about the tenuous connection with Ayers they should also flip out about McCain’s involvement with the Keating 5, no?

      • Evil Pundit says:

        Completely different.

        McCain was found innocent in the Keating 5 case.

        Obama, on the other hand, worked closely with Bill Ayers for over a decade. Obama launched his political career at Ayers’ house. And Ayers has publicly admitted his guilt.

        Then there’s Wright, Rezko, and all the other shady characters in Obama’s circle.

        • PiMan says:

          Obama has yet to be found guilty or innocent of anything. Or even charged with anything.

          • wut says:

            There’s nothing to charge him with. Besides, if they’re all huffy about Ayers why aren’t they mad about Palin and her husband associating with a group that openly hates America and wants Alaska to secede from the US? When they were flipping out about Wright, why didn’t they flip out over John Hagee? Double standard FAIL.

            • Lolnathan says:

              To be fair, Hagee only endorsed McCain. McCain never attended his church. The Obamas sat in church with Wright and listened to that filth for years. Its a bit different.

              • rick says:

                You can move the goalposts all you want. In the end, all these condemnation by association charges on either side just don’t hold water.

                • froofrou says:

                  Comparing apples to apples is not ‘moving the goalposts’. It’s an accurate comparison. Obama’s hate-spewing pastor of 20 years, his quote-unquote “spiritual mentor”, is a huge step from some pastor who knows of McCain but hasn’t mentored him in any way or even called him a member of his church endorsing him.

                • Lolnathan says:

                  I’m just correcting an improper comparison. The situations may both be irrelevant, or one may seem more relevant than the other, depending on how you view them. However, they are significantly different regardless of what your opinion is of their validity.

            • Robert says:

              Ummm…John Hagee didn’t make racists comments. He said that there was a positive effect of the Holocaust because the Jews got their own state. But, a small portion of his comments were used to demonize him, in typical leftist fashion.
