McCain not as forked as the McCain Forked thread, but still forked

I meant McCain. The Rams originated in Cleveland and moved to LA in 1945. So it was a lame ageist thing.

For McCain is Forked, does anything beat the fact that Stephen Colbert endorsed him last night?

He “endorsed” Obama because he wanted to the attention that “conservatives” get for endorsing Obama.

I already got a call about who I’d vote for between Obama/Biden and Palin/Bachmann in 2012.

Yes, and? (I did see the episode.)

He’s jumping on the bandwagon. The bandwagon for Obama.

You know, the guys who’s not forked?

It sounds like you’re saying here that Colbert endorsed McCain. Cricetus was correcting you, I think.

Ah … I see.

Colbert endorsed Obama! Meaning further McCain forkage. In a sense.

Sorry.

Hah! Never happen. If McCain loses next Tuesday, Palin is going back to Anchorage with her Negro fearin’, Gay hatin’, gun lovin’ supporters to form the Alaska First party. You betcha!

Some other unexpected endorsements:

Tom Metzger - Director, White Aryan Resistance; former Grand Dragon of Ku Klux Klan. “The corporations are running things now, so it’s not going to make much difference who’s in there, but McCain would be much worse. He’s a warmonger. He’s a scary, scary person–more dangerous than Bush.”

Rocky Suhayda - Chairman, American Nazi Party. “White people are faced with either a negro or a total nutter who happens to have a pale face. Personally I’d prefer the negro. National Socialists are not mindless haters. Here, I see a white man, who is almost dead, who declares he wants to fight endless wars around the globe to make the world safe for Judeo-capitalist exploitation, who supports the invasion of America by illegals–basically a continuation of the last eight years of Emperor Bush. Then, we have a black man, who loves his own kind, belongs to a Black-Nationalist religion, is married to a black women–when usually negroes who have ‘made it’ immediately land a white spouse as a kind of prize–that’s the kind of negro that I can respect.”

Ha! For some reason that cracked me up.

But what a loon.

Wow. I just read an online poll hosted on a conservative blog; I voted just so I could see the results. I was curious as to the mood of its readership. The four possible choices were the four combinations of Obama and McCain winning or losing both popular vote and electoral college.

I was pretty surprised at the results. Over 60% of this blog’s readers think McCain is going to win. I suppose I shouldn’t have been surprised, but I have to wonder: are they reading the same polls as the rest of us (though here, I can at least begin to understand the minority - about 12% - who voted that Obama wins popular but McCain wins EC)? Do they think said polls are hopelessly bogus or tilted by the MSM? Do they think that if they just yell “campaign finance fraud terrorist socialist” loudly enough, that eventually, the public will finally listen and “come to their senses”? Where the heck are they getting this confidence?

So, essentially, if you feed this backwards through the racist filter, what he’s saying is that he respects Obama because he’s not an elitist.

Yeah, McCain’s talking points have gone over real well…

This seems like religious fervor to me. Because Conservative Republicans seem incapable of accepting facts that don’t conform to their slanted world view, they’re going to go to bed Tuesday night confident, all evidence to the contrary, that McCain will clobber Obama. My fear is when they wake up Wednesday morning, if Obama pulls off a victory, and by a wide margin, many of these folks’ corks will absolutely pop.

People answer polls like that with what they want to be true, not what they actually believe. Some people will definitely be disappointed on Nov. 5, but I don’t see many being completely shocked by a McCain loss. (However, I’m sure there will be a few crazies yelling about conspiracies, whichever way things fall. If McCain wins, I might be one of them!)

One of those former Secretaries of State doesn’t seem to like Palin much.

That’s gotta sting.

I don’t understand http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/30/rick-sanchez-v-michael-go_n_139357.html. Apparently McCain’s latest tactic is to attack Obama for appearing at a dinner together with some Palestinian academic who is critical of Israel. On CNN, his spokesman Michael Goldfarb has this exchange:

Who is Goldfarb referring to? Or is it one of those things that’s left to the imagination? Why won’t he come out and say it?

Damn, was I the only one who didn’t know that Obama’s father was Malcolm X?? How the hell did I miss that one? You’d think McCain and Palin would mention it. They might still. They have 5 days.

This person seems to have an awful lot of time on their hands. I couldn’t read through the whole thing but I did skim through to the end, where it says…

I’ve taken to reading Comments so I can feel superior, and it’s quite depressing to see how far off the deep end some people are.

On another site, elsewhere, I was reading a conservative blog a while ago and came across this in the Comments section:

Credit where due though. Nice that the next poster took him to task:

Comments on a YouTube video (I don’t have the link right offhand) led me to some guy who floated the suggestion that some guy he heard of who got shot execution style just happened to be the same guy who said he had a gay affair with Obama. Oh, he wasn’t saying that Obama is gay or was involved in the execution or anything, but it was written in a ‘things that make you go hmmmm’ way.

Yeah, we’re going to have to put up with this crap because the nutters won’t automatically get sane as soon as they’ve come to grips with McCain losing. They’ll get even more freaked out. The number of them is probably larger than it needs to be because of McCain and Palin’s bullshit during the campaign.

Wow, that was really pathetic. Goldfarb had nothing, knew he had nothing, and knew Sanchez knew he had nothing … and yet he just kept grinning like it didn’t matter. And to a certain segment of the population, it probably doesn’t.

I figured he was trying to coyly refer to Wright.

:eek: Uh, :eek:. I’m just not really sure how to wrap my head around this. Every day, when I think I’ve become acculturated to the craziness of this election, something comes along that just defies my ability to understand. Is this good news, bad news, or WTF? This is like something out of Mother Night.

By the way, the white supremecists are anti-war? Who knew?

My work filter blocks Esquire (for “provacative attire”), so I won’t be able to read the whole link till I get home.

Freaky.
