Taken from the comments section at Taylor Marsh word for word: I RECEIVED THIS AND I PASSED IT ON
LISTEN! WHO DO YOU WANT TO VOTE FOR ???
OBAMA "FRIGHTENS ME" THE BIBLE HAS WARNED US THAT "A MAN WILL COME FROM THE EAST THAT WILL BE CHARISMATIC IN NATURE AND HAVE PROPOSED SOLUTIONS FOR ALL PROBLEMS AND HIS RHETORIC WILL ATTRACT MANY SUPPORTERS !'
WHEN WILL OUR PATHETIC NATION QUIT TURNING THEIR BACK ON GOD AND UNDERSTAND THAT THIS MAN IS 'A MUSLIM"....FIRST, LAST AND ALWAYS...AND WE ARE AT WAR WITH THE MUSLIM NATION, WHETHER OUR BLEEDING-HEART, SECULAR, LIBERAL FRIENDS BELIEVE IT OR NOT. THIS MAN FITS EVERY DESCRIPTION FROM THE BIBLE OF THE "ANTI-CHRIST"!
(BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA=18 LETTERS IN YOUR NAME 3 TIMES 6 =666 THE NUMBER OF THE ANTICHRIST)
WHO IS BARACK OBAMA?
VERY INTERESTING QUESTION AND SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN YOUR CHOICE. IF YOU DON NOT EVER FORWARD ANYTHING ELSE, PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO ALL YOUR CONTACTS...THIS IS VERY SCARY TO THINK OF WHAT LIES AHEAD OF US HERE IN OUR OWN UNITED STATE And people wonder why I have no respect for most of her supporters.
 For some reason I can't keep that Suicidal Tendencies song "You Can't Bring Me Down" out of my head when I look at this graphic. 
If the Clintonistas can quote RW talking points to advance their agenda here and get away with it, then I'm going to do it. Especially when there's some truth to it. Per The Telegraph (UK): Whatever her official feminist credo, Hillary's public career has glaringly been a subset to her husband's success. Despite her reputation for brilliance, she failed the Washington, DC bar exam. Thus her migration to Little Rock was not simply a selfless drama for love; she was fleeing the capital where she had hoped to make her mark.
In Little Rock, every role that Hillary played was obtained via her husband's influence - from her position at the Rose Law Firm to her seat on the board of Wal-Mart to her advocacy for public education reform. In a pattern that would continue after Bill became president, Hillary would draw attention by expressing public "concern" for a problem, without ever being able to organise a programme for reform.
Hillary has always been a policy wonk, a functionary attuned to bureaucratic process, but she has never shown executive ability, which makes her quest for the presidency problematic. Hillary's disastrous botching of national healthcare reform in 1993 (a project to which her husband rashly appointed her) will live in infamy. Obama may also have limited executive experience, but he has no comparable stain on his record.
The argument, therefore, that Hillary's candidacy marks the zenith of modern feminism is specious. Feminism is not well served by her surrogates' constant tactic of attributing all opposition to her as a function of entrenched sexism. Well into her second term as a US Senator, Hillary lacks a single example of major legislative achievement. Her career has consisted of fundraising, meet-and-greets and speeches around the world expressing support for women's rights. Flame away, peeps.
Earlier today, Paul Lukasiak wrote a guest post on Taylor Marsh that questioned the journalistic standards of Celeste Fremon, who worked on the Hillary Clinton/MoveOn.org story for The Huffington Post in coordination with OnTheBus. A sample of the post: Celeste Fremon claims to be a professional journalist. As a professional journalist, she is affiliated with USC’s Annenberg School of Communication – in other words, this “journalist” is affiliated with an academic institution that is supposed to impart journalistic ethics upon its students, and whose affiliates, one assumes, display the highest level of ethics and intellectual honesty possible.
Clearly, Celeste Fremon should be considered an embarrassment to the Annenberg School, and subjected to an inquiry regarding her posting of this kind of pure tripe not just in public, but on a website that is part of USC Annenberg’s “Institute for Justice and Journalism” called: Witness LA: Street News, Views, and Stories of Justice and Injustice. Fremon is not merely committing journalistic malpractice at HuffPo, she is also doing so at a sight controlled by USC’s “Journalism” School.
I doubt that much can be done about HuffingtonPost and what I believe is an atrocious lack of ethics – clearly, the progressive movement that we thought was based on simple human decency, standards of conduct, and ethical reporting does not exist except for in a few islands of sanity. Paul also urged Taylor's readers to contact three people associated with the Annenberg School to investigate Celeste Fremon's alleged lack of journalistic integrity and ethics. Afterward, Karma delivered a dose of reality to Taylor Marsh in the form of a reply from Jay Rosen of OnTheBus: Taylor: Paul's post above is wrong in what it suggests about OffTheBus and Huffington Post and the Celeste Fremon article. One part in particular is not true. Paul Lukasiak wrote: "Off the Bus had apparently been offered the piece and been turned down, after OTB had published Fowler's piece the previous week. It's not too much to speculate that Rosen smelled a rat, and when that rat appeared in public, he ran away from it as quickly as possible." That is not so. We didn't turn the piece down; we cooperated with Huffington Post in its production, which is what the piece says: "This story was developed in cooperation with OffTheBus to which reporter Celeste Fremon is a regular contributor." No, I didn't smell a rat, and I don't believe there is any rat. Paul's speculation simply got out of hand. I told him I could not give him the answers he was seeking about how the piece was edited and framed because the piece was produced for publication by the Huffington Post team, which employs reporters and editors for its politics section. That was not an attempt to disassociate OffTheBus from the publication of Fremon's article, which is a legitimate piece of journalism. (It also ran in the OffTheBus section.) I would appreciate if you would update Paul's original post by appending this to it. Thank you. I guess it's not just Hillary that has a bad habit of vetting their sources or whining about the mainsteam media's treatment of her. It's important to point out that Taylor did not author the post herself, but it is ultimately her responsibility to check the facts before publishing a "story". And this "journalist" wants a show on Air America Radio... 
You would think that with the decrease in jobs in San Diego coupled with deflating home values would mean a change in Duncan Hunter's district. Right? Wrong. The people in the rural communities of East County want another Rubber Stamp Republican to take over: Campaign finance reports filed this week show Duncan D. Hunter, 31, a Marine captain, collected $278,816 in the first three months of 2008, far more than any of the other candidates. He has collected a total of $503,132 and had $263,253 in cash on hand as of March 31, when the reporting period closed.
Hunter, a Republican, is one of seven candidates seeking the party's nomination June 3 in the 52nd Congressional District, which covers much of East County and northeastern San Diego County. It is one of two open congressional seats in the state for the June primary.
While the district is heavily Republican, Democratic candidate Mike Lumpkin, 43, raised the second-highest amount of money during the first quarter of 2008. Lumpkin, a retired Navy SEAL commander, raised $87,377 in the quarter, for a total of $163,071. Yes, that is Duncan Hunter's son leading the financing race in my district and he has already told constituents that he will vote for the same things his father did: guns, God and a border fence.
So says my father, who bought the Hannity question fed to him by George Stephanopoulos.
We were talking on the phone a few minutes ago and according to him, anyone who supports Barack Obama is a terrorist because of his thirty-plus year association with William Ayers. Therefore, I told him I'm one and explained to him Barack Obama was 8 years old when those things happened. Things escalated out of control, so I hung up on him. You can imagine future conversations between us are going to be "chilly", to put it lightly.
Wake up, people. THIS is the mentality of a Clinton supporter who would rather vote for John McCain before Barack Obama. He does not go online. He gets his *facts* from the MSM.
This "uppity (censored)" (translation: elitist) just contributed $30, and there will be more forthcoming.
Per the guy who has probably never seen the inside of a hair salon in his adult life: Further — as you’ll see below in a short clip, just below this longer video — he flipped off Hillary in a “street” sort of way. But it is undeniable — I have asked several people to confirm — that he indeed did give Hillary the finger, and it’s clear from the audience reaction that he did so. Their edited version of the videoCBS video of the same speech with camera angle showing Barack scratching his face with his middle finger and index finger extended at the :39 mark. Gee, Larry. Is the first finger the "fuck" and the second finger the "you"? Maybe we should ask some of his flunkies who cross-post their bile on this board?

One-A-Day
What we saw tonight wasn't just a hit job on Barack Obama. It wasn't just hard questions lobbed at Hillary. It was meant to weaken both candidates so the GOP can use their answers against them between now and November 4th. Don't be mad at each other's candidates over this. That's what the GOP and their supporters want, and from what I see tonight it's working.
Don't give them what they want. Give them hell.
So who are the real Lunch Bucket Democrats? It's not the top twenty Clinton donors that threatened Howard Dean to go against the will of the Democratic party. It's you and I. We are the ones who tote our lunches to work, punch a time clock, and work our fingers to the bone while our bosses continue to find ways to strip away our compensation, our benefits, and in some cases our hopes and dreams. If you ask some of us how the past eight years have gone, we'd be more than happy to tell you we're bitter about a lot of things in this country.
For example, we don't know what it's like to pay $2,300 for a concert ticket. We're too busy trying to come up with that kind of money to pay the insurance deductible, and that's assuming we're lucky enough to have health insurance in the first place. We're thankful when people like The Dave Matthews Band are willing to perform within our budget.
We don't know what it's like to give thousands of dollars to the DNCC so we can pull Howard Dean's chain when we don't agree with how our election's going. Instead, we're stuck with that sick feeling in our stomachs when our ballot is scanned through a Diebold machine every November without a paper trail.
We don't know what it's like to get a break from paying taxes on stock dividends. Most of us consider ourselves fortunate if we're in a position to put away 2% in a 401k, let alone a savings account.
We don't know what it's like to own nine homes. If we're stupid enough to take on one of those risky ARM mortgages plus a second mortgage, we'll own one house. That is, until the loan resets two years later and we get a foreclosure notice because we can't refinance due to falling home values.
We don't know what it's like to cheerlead an invasion of another country without personally knowing someone fighting it. In fact, some of us might be in Iraq fighting this war because economic and employment conditions are so bad where we live it's our only ticket out of the small towns we grew up in.
We don't know what it's like to get a healthy bonus at the end of the year Christmas party. We expect layoff notices anytime after January 1st, or news that we're losing our benefits and commission to keep stockholders happy.
We don't know what it's like to meet our friends at the bar after work for a shot of Crown Royal and a beer. At five o'clock every weekday, many of us are rushing through traffic to get to our second low-paying job on time.
We don't know what it's like to dine at a fancy restaurant and write it off as a business expense. Some of us pack a cup of Top Ramen in our lunch buckets because we like the taste of picante chicken and soggy noodles, while others do so because at eight for a dollar it was all we could afford the last time we went grocery shopping.
So what kind of people can throw around money like it's printed for free at Kinko's? They're not Lunch Bucket Democrats. They're Caviar & Cristal Democrats. That's the kind of lifestyle these people are accustomed to. They don't need to pack their own lunch before they go to work. They make enough money to have their lunches catered to them, and it's time we start calling bullshit on the "common" folk who call people like you and I "elitists".
Check out Larry Johnson's headline on this post: Saddam Hussein, Barack Hussein Obama’s Hidden Real Estate Partner? I'm getting tired of this shit from "Democrats" As a minority, one reason I hardly vote GOP (I voted for Arnold over Angelides and his GOP-like scandals) is because of the open racism. As far as I'm concerned, I will never vote for Hillary if she wins. As a matter of principle, I will never support a candidate or supporters that are likely to call me a racial epithet behind my back or under their breath. At least the GOP and their supporters are willing to say it to my face, so I at least have to give them credit for that.
 Barack Obama is looking more presidential with every passing day.
I didn't notice it at first, but someone out there bought be a donor star earlier today. Whoever you are, thanks! 
 It seems like a lot more people are bitter now since "Bittergate" was manufactured by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the mainstream media on Friday. Can I get a "hell yeah!" from the Obamaholics in the house?
