“Don’t say you weren’t warned..”
OK, so this is probably an over-reaction.. Terrifying? Disturbingly misguided, certainly. As Oliver Burkeman says, “If Obama wins the election, all American citizens will be required to gather in local parks at 6am each morning to serenade their leader in this fashion. Don’t say you weren’t warned.” Indeed. Adds The video, which had been online since the middle of August, has now been pulled. Update But others have reposted it.
Return of the happy hands club from Napoleon Dynamite. Not as disturbing as God having a witchcraft free plan for Iraq which should dovetail nicely with the imminent rapture.
AP just reported that Putin has been rushed to the hospital after collapsing following a two hour laughing streak..
And then there’s this…
Euro Falls Most Since 2001 Against Dollar as Bailouts Spread
That’s Bailouts as in Brussells…
Sept. 30 (Bloomberg) — The euro fell the most against the dollar since 2001 after France and Belgium led a state-backed rescue of Dexia SA, as the widening financial crisis forces governments to prop up financial institutions across Europe.
As my old friend Scoobie says Ruh Roh…
“The euro fell the most against the dollar since 2001 …”
Wouldn’t be to f*cking hard! When was the last time the euro fell against the dollar? 2001?
Back onto topic, having been rushed to Moscow General with a bad case of sudden and uncontrollable shitting myself with laughter, Putin says he’s fine … or at least he was until I told him how the Irish government had guaranteed €500 billion worth of savings! Poor man.
Bfb,
Palin has enough on his hands with Sarah and the Alaskans watching him fly over their maritime border. The doctors said his ticker is ok but his soul just isn’t as transparent as it used to be.
Should of course have said “Putin”
Pete, Pete: That was terrible.
This, this is sublime:

Palin instead of Putin……hmmmmmmm
Oily
Putin has a lot more to fear from Palin than that metrosexual Barry. Rumour has it that Vlad has a “Change” patch on his Gi……
Click. Clack. Moo. If Cows Could Type.
“OH bama…oh, oh, JOE Biden, vicepresendente…”
“If Cows Could Type.”, indeed susan.
Somehow I doubt it.
As I said..
“Don’t say you weren’t warned.”
I have known a lot of gondoliers, Pietro.
They are nothing if not earnest.
Is it just me or are there subliminal messages being sent here? I got lost after the first couple of posts! Anyway, Obama? I wouldn’t get too carried away, once the average American goes into the voting booth the old ‘RACE’ elephant in the room will emerge and McCain will win comfortably. Don’t believe the polls or a word the average Yank on the street says about ‘RACE’ NOT being a factor. As the election gets nearer the Republicans will play it as their ace and it WILL affect the outcome as it will be the ONLY factor. I will stake a few quid on it!
Ya…RAAACisst bastards, that’s what done him in….
Not Ayers
Not Wright
Not Rezcko
Not being number TWO in taking fanny may money
Not gun banning
Not baby killing
Not his anti-miltary stance
Not his Marxist background
Not his shady protected educational records
Not that Castro endorses Obama
Not his Acorn connections
Not The Woods Fund connections
And on and on…
Just the RAAAACISSSST!!
HA!
Funny thing is, he’s not black…
And the black American community can’t stand him!!!!
Useful idiot squared…
Probably fair enough comment BfB on most of the above but try telling that to your average hokey from Miskokey on polling day. It is like good old Norn Iron where for years we pretended we didn’t vote along partisan party lines when in effect we were, and still are, a shower of bigoted hateful bastards. Believe me, RACE will be the ONLY player on election day because the average voter ALWAYS resorts to his or her base fears and prejudices AND this will be confirmed when many go into the booth. The blue collar workers in the Mid West and Southern states will not admit it on camera but race plays a BIG part for them and that’s why Hilary should have been on the ticket. Not nice to say or admit but the truth all the same. However I don’t think the Clintons will be too annoyed when Obama loses because it sets Hilary up as the Democrat nominee for 2012.
Obama, America’s first Black president who delivers change we can believe in:
A Chinese Marshall Plan, reconciling and reconstructing East with West.
You know pete I begin to despair for your increasingly right wing weird rants and then bfb chimes in and I realize you arent that far over the edge and there may be hopr for you yet
Well..these days racism is found mostly as a liberal tool for one thing or another. Inner city black people have been indoctrinated in the racist mind set. Main street white people are not racist. Sick and tired of whining, entitled, gimme black people are what they are sick of.. The Mexican worker, who risks his life to get here, works for nothing, and lives in the woods with a smile on his face, has destroyed any liberal racist mantras of why people hire and don’t hire. Do your research, Obama and his goon squad are the only ones who have brought up the race card…. we main stream, older whites, who have sacrificed and settled for less, while watching the welfare state grow in size and sneering disdain of us, don’t look at Obama as black, just a bad man, in many ways. This racist mantra is hurting these knuckleheads, for more than a few blacks that I know….(my generation gets along well, regardless of color)… are off Obama, big time, for this very reason. The silent majority has been shocked into attention by the Palin vitriol, and to be called a racist, when you are not, and never have been, is a deal breaker….. Trust me.
As I have said BfB, there is no doubt that many of the comments you make are very valid but you still can’t deny that race will NOT play a part in how many Americans vote. I have trawled a few YouTube sites and others and there are voters who are saying they will NOT vote for a black candidate YET who say they may have voted for Hillary Clinton if she had got the Democratic ticket. That is why I am saying that this US election will be close but will ultimately be decided on race. There are those Democrats in the Mid West and South who would have voted for Hillary but won’t vote for Obama because he is black. Even respected US commentators are saying this!
that kid looked too cute to be a good singer – did the Obamamaniacs pull a Chinese Olympics bait and switch?
Bfb,
If Obama’a wife surely is a witch then thank the lordee Palin has her witch hunting preacher on America’s side to deal with her.
Lurig,
Always was going to be economy versus race: which is worse? At the minute it’s the economy but there’s a long way to go.
That notwithstanding it sounds like you’re still not over the whole Hilery thing and hoping for a rep. win just so she can get in next time. So it’s not about democrats its just about Clintons? Bill is practically out campaigning for McCant so I’d guess Hilery’s future in the dem party is finished either way. How can you say Bfb makes valid arguements when he says the Mexicans are happily living in the woods with smiles on their faces? But American whites aren’t racist. Nope, no way. And you’re appealing to him for logic in a race discussion? Wise up
I think the people who say race will undo the Obama candidacy are just pessimistic Obama fans. There is no reason whatsoever to disbelieve the polls as they stand.
The only solace for McCain is the large number of undecideds. It could be claimed that if you haven’t fallen for the Obama shtick by now you probably won’t.
But even with that it’s a big gap to make up so I think an Obama win is certain. The first Black President will be a milestone. I wonder when we’ll see the first Catholic First Minister.
Looks like the Obama Truth Squad has been in action again. The Obama-kids-exploitation video has been pulled from Youtube, as has the ten minute video exposing the depth of Dem involvement in causing the current crisis.
Does this constitute censorship by Google-owned Youtube?
New link for Burning the House Down video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RZVw3no2A4
(I wonder how long it will take to pull this one?)
Hey, BfB, good post at 1.48am.
Have you been keeping track of Obama’s falsehoods and half-truthes as well. I started a list, but couldn’t keep up. Would appreciate a list sometime.
6CP – I see you’ve given up being the Palin cheerleader and instead decided to come straight out of the closet, just like Bonkers Bob, and just be anti-Obama.
Pots and kettles come to mind when we’re talking about direct campaign lies (lets not euphemise here please) – but McCain is by far the most cynical politician I have ever seen.
Picks Palin regardless of her wonkiness simply to stick a conservative woman on his ticket – never mind the fact that our 74 year old cancer survivor may be putting her finger on the trigger one day. She may be protected from witchcraft but we’re not!!!!
Then “suspends his campaign” for the “good of the country” – oh yes, very good, I mean even his supporters couldn’t swallow that one.
He is a man with absolutely no regard whatsoever for the electorate – his main thing is that he, John McCain, one time prisoner of war, becomes president.
And if he does then god help us all.
BfB,
“Not baby killing”
But I thought you were all for the baby killing.
Oh, you must mean abortion, not the killing of children in foreign lands.
So, its abortion bad, baby killing good?
BTW there Mick..
(imho)Your site ads are a bit skewed in a certain direction….What with all the ‘do it for the children’ crap. Grow up.
No surprise kiddo.
Race will be an issue but it’s a net advantage to Obama. BLACK racism is why Hillary dodn’t win. Most blacks wouldn’t vote for a Republican anyway so that really isn’t a factor in the general but the number of liberal whites who will vote for Obama BECAUSE he is black and it nakes them feel all good about themselves will dwarf the number of knuckle draggers who won’t vote for him simply based on race.
Obamessiah? more like obamanation! enough to make you puke!
Gondolas! I love them Watch all this
Sorry – I’ll withdraw that and find a better link…
Shit, I never knew they had Ikea in America.
I will vote for McCain. I don’t think we have a chance though. We may even lose my state, (Virginia) which has not gone Democratic since LBJ.
At least the goddamn election will be over in a month and all this stuff will stop.
Mark my words, if Obama doesn’t win, there will be race riots in Washington, DC as well as Detroit if not other areas. There will be talks of a stolen election, a racist country, etc.
If he loses, I will certainly take the next day off from work
Jt o’s – why?
News busters have the Obama Youth video up and running. Creepy:
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/ken-shepherd/2008/10/01/chicago-sun-times-leaves-out-key-facts-about-singing-obama-kids#new
Talk of a stolen election? In the United States -the land of the free?
Its not like anything like that has ever happened before.
But if McCain wins it is a chilling prospect. The triumph of cynicism and ignorance over reflection and intellect. Although some people will be glad to see that I imagine – it will make them feel like winners too, even as the ship goes down.

But I tell you what – that video is well f@cking scary!!
But Americans do do sickly sweet and borderline perverse extremely well – remember “we are the world”?
But more scary still are the foam-at-the-mouth posters on Michelle Malkin’s site!
Its like a race to see who can bring in the Hitler comparison’s quickest….. always a good indicator that you have lost the argument if you start banging on about beer halls and use the suffix -jugend.
Circles: The triumph of cynicism and ignorance over reflection and intellect
So you have heard about Obama. What a shame that he didn’t have the grades, even under ‘affirmative action’, to get into Harvard! It’s always nice to have rich Saudi friends to get you where you want to go.
6countyprod, I can’t believe you are making this argument.
Following the American elections as closely as you are, you HAVE to know John McCain, a legacy to West Point because of his father and family connections, graduated second from the bottom of his class. Sarah Palin went to five different colleges and universities before receiving a BA. And you are weaselling on about your concerns about Obama’s undergraduate record at COlumbia University?
Harvard Law could easily fill its first year class solely with summa cum laude graduates of Ivy League Schools, but it doesn’t. Affirmative action? No, they want to graduate not just legal scholars in academia but leaders, leaders in politics, in the nonprofit sector. Obama’s “in” into Harvard was his track record in community organising in Chicago’s South Side.
And as is often remarked, Jesus was a community organiser. Pontius Pilate was a governor.
The world is in a complete mess right now. THings can and will get worse before they get better.Are Obama and McCain the two best men for the most important job in the world right now? No. But they are the two men up for the job, and Obama’s the safer bet. I had an enormous amount of respect for McCain going into this election, despite what I knew of his temperament. But he’s thrown over just about every decent stand and fight he’s stood for in his long career to get the Republican nomination. And he knows his health record, although he won’t release it to the public. He never thought Sarah Palin the safest pair of hands to govern the country in his stead, it was a crap roll and a stunt.
Silly people in California taught their kids to sing a silly, cringe-worthy song about Obama. Wasting too much time thinking about that with the state of the world today is even sillier, and more cringe-worthy.
Ahh what a relevant contribution 6CP – how did you do on that 11-plus? Was it a fair refelction of your intellect and the man you became? Although its been hard to take your posts so seriously ever since your rapturous response to McCain’s VP choice and subsequent silence as she stuck boot after boot into her own mouth.
The rich Saudi remark was a cracker considering the incumbent (you know that W-fella who is backing McCain) and his pappy and their connection to that well known rich Saudi family. Priceless.
I should add though – that “Jesus was a community organiser” remark I found daft the first time I heard it. The very idea of making such a comparison is beyond ridiculous. Obama is a rich, left wing lawyer turned politician thats all. He will most certainly not bring a dramatic transformation, but at least it will be a change in direction. McCain will be a nightmare and we’ll still hope he hangs in in case his loopy VP ever takes over.
circles, the “Jesus was a community organiser” line is not meant to compare Obama to Jesus, but is a political response to the mean-spirited, callous, un-American attacks on the notion of community service and community organisers launched by Rudy Guiliani and Sarah Palin at the Republican National convention.
Perhaps you know far more about Obama’s time at Chicago’s Altgeld Gardens public housing neighbourhods in the eighties than we do. His money, however, came from his book contracts, not his legal career.
I’m afraid of someone with Obama’s lack of experience taking the reigns at this point in history. I’m terrified of someone with McCain’s temperment, and his recent statements on Iran, Iraq, Georgia, North Korea, and the economy, taking over. Life is a cabaret.

reflection and intellect.
quadruple HA!
foam-at-the-mouth posters on Michelle Malkin’s site!
links please….
the neolibs love to use the ‘your stoooooooooooopid’
arguement…
Obama is just as stooooooooooooooooopid as McCain and Palin…..
Live with it.
‘In the age of affirmative action and grade inflation, a minority in a relatively easy major like political science had to under-perform dramatically to avoid minimal honors. Obama apparently did just that.
The specifics we may never know. As the New York Times concedes, Obama “declined repeated requests to talk about his New York years, release his Columbia transcript or identify even a single fellow student, co-worker, roommate or friend from those years.”‘
Oh ya…..we’re raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacist!!
HA!!!

other than a useless rant what point did you make

Here ya go buttboy, this is where you get your opinions anyway.
Relax, Susan. I was only teasing Circles.
But, to address a couple of your ludicrous comments:
1 Obama’s “in” into Harvard was his track record in community organising in Chicago’s South Side
What track record? He was a failure as a community organiser, unless you count his success in pressuring banks to give out bad loans. What did he do with all the money Ayers and his organisation supplied? Where are the results of his ‘track record?’ There’s nothing to show for his years as a community organiser.
2 Jesus was a community organiser. Pontius Pilate was a governor.
It is tantamount to blasphemy to equate Obama with the Saviour. Obama is one of the greatest con artists of the modern age, one who may persuade 50 million people to vote for his cult. Do you think Jesus agrees with Obama’s support for the slaughter of unborn children, or his opposition to giving medical aid to children who survive abortion attempts? I don’t think so!
3 I’m terrified of someone with McCain’s temperment, and his recent statements on Iran, Iraq, Georgia, North Korea, and the economy, taking over.
Have you considered Obama’s stance on invading or attacking Pakistan when assessing your level of terror? Wimps get themselves into far more bother trying to prove they are tough, than genuine tough guys do.
Btw, if more heed had been paid to McCain in 2005 concerning Fannie and Freddie, maybe we wouldn’t be in such a mess.
The fundamental strategy of US liberals is to try to paint their conservative opponents as a bunch of thick heads. Obama is obviously a smooth talker and practised manipulator, but the jury is out as to whether he is any more intelligent than any of the other candidates.

Excelent cartoon there teabagger extrodinaire
Obama is one of the greatest con artists of the modern age, one who may persuade 50 million people to vote for his cult
Okay so he is a couple of billion behind in the jesus cult head count but hey give a couple thousand years to catch up
