Thursday afternoon free-for-all
I was in Oklahoma City today to give a Town Hall series lecture. Wonderful weather, wonderful people. Sorry I didn’t have more time to spend in town. Anyway, I just got frisked in secondary screening and thanked the TSA agent for taking her job seriously. Wish more folks in Washington would.
I’ll be getting on a plane soon–I hope–so here’s your Thursday afternoon open thread. I updated the Obama grandma post with the WIP AM audio.
The glow is gone.

If, as Obama says, he doesn’t agree with pastor Wright’s outrageous, bigoted, racist and hate-filled diatribes, I wonder if he sat his kids down after church each time this came happened and told them how wrong Wright was?
Seems really doubtful to me.
I watched the flick American History X tonight. Edward Norton was a truly evil Nazi skinhead to killed two blacks who were in process of stealing his vehicle and he ended up in prison. It appears his own racism got a real start when he father was murdered by blacks. Anyway eventually he had an epiphany and gave up his evil racist ways. My question is just what changes had B. Hussein Obama wrought in his own black separtist church in 20 years of attendance and financial support? How can he possibly bring the races together when he did absolutely nothing to stifle the venomous rhetoric in his own church? Seems to me he bent over backwards to accomodate the Rev. Wright in his life and campaign. So would an Obama administration feature the same tired old liberals from yesteryear along with a bevy of angry, racist black supporters?
Btw, the trolls around here tonight are truly insufferable. It is amazing to me that with all the thousands of posts over at LGF, the trolls don’t have much of a presence. I’d like to know where the trolls here normally congregate…Kos, DU, Huffington, moron.org, codepinko, ANSWER? It’s amazing with what strides have been made in mental health, that losers like lgm and the other side, leadedcretin and others have not sought help.
Who would a thunk that SNL could bring down Obama?
When they did their schtick on how easy the MSM was
on Obama the MSM actually listened and started asking
hard questions and he started whining. He was so used
to being handled with kid gloves that he’s really making
a mess of things now, including throwing Grandma
under the bus to try to salvage Rev Wright.
I saw a video of M Obama in church with Rev Wright
really going to town on white America and she was
standing with her eyes closed and one arm up like I have seen some Protestant worshippers do. I also
heard that if he missed a church service, he listened
to the sermon on tape.
Whether he or HRC gets the nomination doesn’t make
a lot of difference. They are interchangeable.
Excellent point.
The MSM ignored the “Right Wing Media” that had been pointing out the exact same things. But when a sketch comedy show does it, then they sit up and take notice.
gollumclone
Yes, it was a part of his white experience. He could no more separate himself from it then blah, blah, blah…
Also… I think that Charles is less tolerant of trolls. And then there is always Nekama’s Troll Hammer.
I finished the day 14 of 16. Missed the Kansas State – USC game and the Kentucky – Marquette game.
Just saw Newt on H&C rerun; he said Obama’s big speech on race was “one-sided”. That’s the best one-word critique of it I’ve heard so far. For example, I don’t recall him saying anything about the black community’s own problems or how they’re dealing with them. Newt suggests Obama read Bill Cosby or Shelby Steele. LOL.
Also … PLEASE do not feel the trolls.
Ouch. You can feel the trolls. Just don’t FEED them. They’re probably just your typical white people. Let them stew in their typical white-peopleness. Don’t encourage them.
Well, Michelle, it’s too late for you now, but there is an excellent museum in Oklahoma City called the 45th Infantry Division Museum. The 45th ID fought in WWII, where it captured one of Hitler’s hangouts. They have Hitler’s cloak, other pieces of his clothing, some of his lamps, dinnerware, and whatnot. Life Magazine took a photo of a 45th GI laying in Hitler’s bed, reading Mein Kampf. The museum has the distinctive table lamp in that photo in the exhibit, next to the photo.
I’m also wondering why the TSA would need to frisk you. Where exactly is a skinny little girl like you going to hide a bomb? It’s not like they’re gonna need to frisk you to spot it. They’ll be able to spot it at twenty paces.
I’m also curious about this photo of you in the ad on the right of your website where you’re sitting in a park with your hair done, sitting on a bench, blogging away on your laptop. Have you given up your closet and taken to wandering from park to park to do your blogging? This new homeless blogging approach has me a little worried for you.
Hey, how big are those Michelle posters that keep popping up on the banner?
olympian2008
I am still hanging in here at 16-0 after day one … day two should get tougher and more interesting as there seem to be some more evenly matched pairings on the schedule … only second time I have ever made it through day one without missing any …
shocker would have been had Duke lost … did not see that possibility coming … personally I think they really got outplayed but got their usual late game breaks that always seem to happen to them and UNC in a close game to pull it out … Belmont gave them all they could handle … easily best game of the day …
Good luck the rest of the way … hope you didn’t have USC or Kentucky going all the way … that would definitely hurt …
Does anyone remember that Obama campaigned for Byrd in 2005? This guy seems throughly confused. In between Sunday sermons of white hate, he is out supporting Mr. “Grand Wizard” of the KKK! Well, if he can also get an endorsement from the KKK, he’ll have the radical black and radical white all in his camp. It’s only a matter to deny them both publicly,thank them privately,and win the moderates.
29 Victor-
Thanks.
Nekuma’s response is priceless and I will save this one link as an answer to the libs who compare Isreal and Arabs:
http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=7856#c0019 The moral equivalency runs amok with the moonbats.
Also we should be making fun of Islam to show what an impotent “god” allah really is. It is deemed free speech by libs to show Jesus on a cross in a jar of urine or Mary covered in elephant dung PLUS our tax dollars go to support the “artists”. Why shouldn’t allah be exposed to the same free speech even if it does offend muslim sensibilities? Like the old support mental healh or I’ll kill you? Would it be racist to ridicule asshats Wright and the Obamas for their own personality defects? I know Lurch got plenty of ridicule last Presidential run. And of course it has been fine to ridicule Dubya for past seven years.
It is amazing how people like Michele and Charles stay so focused and get so much done, apparently multitasking at will. Another person who seemed to possess outstanding time management was Martha Stewart, who of course had many assistants.
To me, an open thread like this is the perfect moment to plug some topics, whether on my blogs/sites, or on various other sites worthy of note. So, permit me now to see what I can find…
Poll finds 85% of Arabs in Fatah territory support terrorism.
An old item from my comics blog: an entry on Sword of the Atom trade paperback. And a more recent item too: a small review I did of Matamoros.
Have you ever heard about Warren Ellis, British-born comics writer? Did you hear about his horrifically left-wing book called Black Summer? Read more and learn why it can pay for a conservative to know more about what goes on in the world of comic books when you have leftist inmates running the asylum!
A more recent entry from my game blog of the Captain America and the Avengers game produced in 1991.
Did anyone see this most fortunate news about NY’s state legislature finally taking steps to protect against libel tourism? I was glad to see that an important law like this was finally realized.
I think I’ll also plug four comic book fansites I built (mostly from scratch, as I still haven’t learned much about graphics design, but I’m still proud of my efforts): Hawkfan, The Greatest Thing on Earth, The Outer Observatory, and Earth’s Mightiest Heroines.
And I might as well have my say about awful Obama too: I’m glad if he’s plummeting. I’ve read some of the news about the ghastly pastor he’s been worshiping, and it made me sick too. I don’t like Hillary either, but clearly, he’s the worse of the two.
Over and out for now.
graysonret,
The blacks know the democrats started the KKK, but are convinced that all the racist moved to the republican party.
With so many on welfare and counting on uncle sam, anytime a conservative proposes entitlement reform, they are branded a racist.
Because of people like Obama’s pastor many blacks believe they are entitled to the hand outs from our paychecks that we stupid Americans work for and earn!
Not according to the latest polls. Your numbers are more wishful thinking.
But hey, the auditions for the new Karnak are coming up soon in LA.
This over at Power Line. Speaks for itself.
Trinity United for Hamas
Aaron Klein reports that Barack Obama’s Chicago church reprinted the Los Angeles Times column by Hamas leader Mousa abu Marzook. The column spouts the usual Hamas propaganda defending terrorism as legitimate resistance. The column was published on the “pastor’s page” of the Trinity Church bulletin on July 22, 2007 and posted online here by Bizzyblog yesterday. Perhaps most revealing is the church bulletin’s own subhead over the column: “An official of the movement describes its goals for all of Palestine.” You know, “all of Palestine,” including Israel, whose right to exist Hamas denies and which it seeks to “liberate” for Islam.
Hey guys- Mr Wolf from BlackFive.net here- this just in from the Denver Post re: the Democratic Convention in August-
“Permit lottery has protesters livid-
War protesters promised a massive conflict at Civic Center on the eve of the 2008 Democratic National Convention, after losing in a lottery process Thursday that awarded a permit for the park to the party planner for Denver’s host committee.
“We’re having our protest at Civic Center,” said a livid Glenn Spagnuolo, a lead organizer for the group Re-create 68. “We’re not going to give up Civic Center park to the Democrats. . . . They are creating a very dangerous situation.”
Spagnuolo has been meeting monthly with city officials for a year, hoping to win the right to use Civic Center throughout the convention. He says 50,000 war protesters are coming for a march from Civic Center to the Pepsi Center on Aug. 24.”
Can you tell its going to be an interesting summer???
Wolf
One has to wonder what promise Obama made to Bill Richardson to get his “Timely” endorsement to try and stop the Free fall he is under???
100 Million in Cash??
Become an Honorary Kennedy for life, with a Get out of Jail free pass to do anything include Homicide and not have to worry.
Executive order to make every Mexican citizen all around the world an instant American Citizen??
Vice Presidency??
Since I know how we all love polls… Here’s the Rasmussen poll regarding McCain’s rise and Obama’s nose-dive.
They are essentially saying that the flap over the racist Rev Wright is hitting him hard… SHOCKER!
hi 30, yeah they’re talking about it on fox now….
The Hispanics know they have a bigger block than the black vote and it’s getting bigger.
I don’t think they want the back of el autobús.
Oh no you didn’t!!! Obama you got some splanin to do I guess if you insist on a white man being fired for a lame joke it is okay but you won’t give up your Pastor for GDA?
http://imustimes.wordpress.com/2008/03/20/comparing-rev-wright-imus-obamas-hypocrisy-coming-home-to-roost/
hey aj,
loved the magic bus post yesterday!
I bet Hillary ends up getting the nomination as it becomes more and more clear that Obama cannot win a general election. This passport controversy is the latest demonstrating that Obama has much to hide.
Republicans are almost always far behind in polls this far from elections because of the nonstop MSM propaganda for the Democrat. For McCain to have near double-digit leads has to scare Democrats.
Well didn’t these guys recently endorse BHO? A winks degree of separation. Do I think BHO agrees with them. No of course not. The cult he and his family have been members of for the last 20 years does but I’m sure he feels differently. I am starting to believe BHO is either totally clueless or a stooge for every anti American org, country and individual out there. He is the cult leaders protégé by the cult leaders own admission. These people want to bring back an atmosphere of the 60’s great, I was there the first time but a smidgen too young to do anything about it. I still harbor burning resentments and considering the rhetoric I have been hearing they got me among many others fired up! Why does all the exciting stuff happen at places that I am not, I feel disenfranchised. I have a friend that lives outside Denver his dad was career military and he was born on Guam I will give him a heads up on these whatever they are’s.
I think you’re right. They want an open-borders socialist, but they don’t want a black open borders socialist. In Mexico racism against blacks is common and I don’t think many hispanics are feeling “white guilt” toward the radical blacks Obama is so cozy with.
Michelle, hope your trip is safe and relatively hassle free. Here’s hoping everyone has a blessed and safe Easter!
This Obamagasm we’re having is great.
I haven’t had anywhere to focus my deep insecurities and venom since the shamnesty debates!
Let’s keep it going!
This conservative will be voting for McCain. I don’t personally like the man like you personally like Obummer. I don’t think Obummer is the personification of the American Dream or a family man.
It’s interesting how you deride Gabe even though he brings up some good points. I think that Obummer is a Marxist if not an outright Islamist. I don’t think he will be really good at representing all of us when he makes misguided decisions.
You are tooting Obummer’s horn, Olympian. Pure and simple. That’s your choice. I think you’re as in the tank for him as Gabe is against him. Hey, it’s your choice, your peril.
When we really shake it all out, there’s not much difference between McCain and Obama, Republican and Democrat. Except in regards to the military and the economy.
Have fun with your protest vote… this military spouse has a lot more to lose than you do. You may be also surprised how many conservatives “come around.” The “Constitution Party’ vote won’t save us from disaster either… if there is even that kind of option this year.
Then why are you here? To get a sniff of “the other side?” By the way, I don’t think Gabe, or rooster, or anybody else is nearly as angry as you think. Nice try with those assumptions. Why is it when you can’t engage somebody you need to come up with a creative picture of who you think that person is (or isn’t)?
So you don’t like Gabe. We get it. So you think that Michelle’s blog is “angry.” Check. So you think us conservatives and other like-minded people who have issues with Obummer are “angry.” Check.
Stop being so bent out of shape, TheOtherSide. We don’t want kiss Obummer’s feet. He’s not the second coming of Kennedy. Get over it. If you can’t understand the real reasons why people don’t like Obummer, I’m sure you can find a cozy blog of his supporters on the net…. somewhere, anywhere, but here.
SO WHY ARE YOU HERE?
I enjoy political discourse. I check a number of blogs and news sources daily, both on the left and the right. I leave comments when I have a sincere opinion on a topic, or when I feel disinformation is being passed around. I’ve read a number of books suggested by right-wing sites and by my conservative parents (The Looming Tower, America Alone, and currently on my mother’s suggestion The Truth About Muhammad by Spencer). I try to keep an open mind. How many commentors here have done likewise? I am not a radical liberal as Gabe suggested, but rather am center-left. I tend more to the left on social issues, and more to the center on ecomonic ones.
Sometimes frustrated yes, but not angry and if you read through threads I post in, I think you’ll find that I don’t come off as angry as Gabe and certain other posters. Unfortunately, when I bring up a counter argument, I am immediately labeled as a radical liberal troll, and am rarely responded to by any reasonable argument against my point.
Other side,
I am angry, angry at what has become of our country and the direction it is heading.
I had the honor of spending from 1987 to 2006 in the military, stationed in and around Germany. My first assignment was, 1983-1984 in Korea.
What I know is the socialist policies of Germany. The people benefitting from the hand outs of the high tax system love it. Those that work and pay for the free loaders resent the welfare given to those that don’t work.
The germans that don’t work are entitled to nearly the same pay and benefits as those that are actually working and paying the crazy taxes they have.
The plus side of the German welfare way is that they are much tougher on fraudulent claims.
In Germany if the state is supporting you, they reserve the right to unbridled access to your home and bank accounts.
I have two sites today…one will really, really tick you off, especially at SCOTUS and
their ruling on eminent domain and the other will tickle your funnybone if you are
someone that can appreciate a Truly Happy Bug!

Here’s the thing about your approach to blogs like Michelle’s, if you respond to posters like Gabe with insults, you in return will receive likewise. Again, you and other “visitors” have a tendency of “labeling.” You don’t like labels, so why are you using them on posters like Gabe or Rooster?
You want open dialogue but from what I’ve seen on this thread all you offered up was one linked article from an Israel journalist proclaiming his love for Obummer. I’m not sure that that’s what you mean by “discourse.” From what I saw from some of the poster comments on YNet (from which you linked I think) this journalist’s feelings aren’t the total representation of the Israeli people.
Another thing… I’ve looked through your posts and here’s my advice (for what it’s worth). Insulting Gabe and calling him names is not “political discourse.” If you want open dialogue keep it away from the personal aspersions. If not… you’re acting no better than some of our other fine “visitors” from left-wing land.
TXRose, that has got to be the best photo of the day! Is that a preying mantiss (sp?)? Is he/she dancing the fandango? I’m not partial to bugs myself but man that bug can cut some rug!
Yeah…the emminent domain ruling not so good.
emjem24,
Fair enough and good advice. Please not however, that Gabe slung the mud first and I felt the right to defend myself. In hindsight, I should not have done so in a name-calling, labeling manner.
#134…It’s a praying mantis. Probably a female that has just eaten and devoured her
poor mate. I never knew that they were so colorful or could dance. She’s is just so
blooming happy!!!!!! I could not resist sharing the picture with everyone. She really
made me smile with her celebration.
The New London, CT story is really a morality lesson for the rest of us. The council
in New London is acting exactly like the pols in DC. No matter what, they just don’t
listen.
OOPS! Redundancy! Eaten and devoured…I meant mated and devoured….
Are you saying that Gabe “slung the mud” first because he said something “bad” against Obummer? Or do you mean he cast a personal aspersion against Olympian first? If you’re basing your comment on the exchange between you and Gabe (unless I read the thread out of order), then the only person who slung the mud first was you. I do believe you called Gabe “delusional.”
Gabe doesn’t trust Obummer. Frankly, neither do I. You slung the mud at him because he thoroughly despises Obummer. At least he’s honest. There’s people going around supporting Obummer for very nebulous reasons having nothing to do with whether or not he’s qualified. Some of them are racial, others are social, and for others they’re hopeful.
As far as I can see, there was no reason for you to defend yourself… just Obummer. Unless you think that your positions and Obummer’s beliefs are interchangeable. At any rate I think you’re protesting a tad too much.
I do not trust Obama, Clinton or McCain. But one of
these is going to be our president and in my book, it
needs to be McCain because at least he is not a
socialist.
I’m actually surprised that Gabe hasn’t been banned. Michelle issues a pretty stern warning on Obama bashing related to his name and false assertions that he’s Muslim. Gabe is about as far out in left field (or should I say right field?) as one can be. He reminds me a lot of some of the loons on DKos. Not surprised to see emjem defending him BTW.
Hey, the DKos are having their problems. The Clintonistas are peeved. They feel they are getting a raw deal at DKos. They were talking about “boycotting” it and
were told TS go right ahead.
