My Neighbor Loves Hillary
My downstairs neighbor loves Hillary. Let's call him "Adam" because he's willing to give his rib to get Hillary elected.
I don't really get why. I mean, he's not old. And he even has a blog, but it's password protected, and he won't tell anyone the password, which sort of isn't really like having a blog, but at least it proves he is somewhat aware of the technology.
Sometimes I ask him why, and usually he tells me why he doesn't like Obama, or goes on some tirade or another. But he really doesn't tell me why.
Lately, I think he might be getting e-mails from Marky-Mark-Penn. He was just up a few minutes ago to return some tupperware, and made some tard-o comment about how Geraldine Farakahn was getting reverse discriminated against or something.
The one time I think he got maddest was when I jokingly used the hold O'Liely style logic, saying "Republicans want to destroy the democratic party. Hillary wants to destroy the democratic party. Therefore, Hillary is a Republican."
I continued with "Republicans support republican candidates. You support hillary. Hillary is a republican candidate, therefore you are a republican."
Anyway, I think that really ticked him off.
But seriously, when you start sounding like a robot who just recieved the Karl Penn Rove talkingpoints, and are repeating them like a parrot, you sound like a republican.

Good post.
Repubs who support Obama believe in him
Repubs who support Clinton want McCain to win

Hillary Clinton is an unprincipled, unscrupulous MONSTER who has no misgivings about promoting race hatred and minority prejudice. She is knowingly endangering vulnerable, socioeconomically disadvantaged minority groups simply to advance her own narrow objectives. What could be more disgraceful?! Those who support this demagogue, this throwback to Jim Crow, ought to be ashamed.

Two things:
Stop lending him your Tupperware
Move

Oh goodness. I am so glad my fellow brave Americans are showing their depth and wisdom. I had no idea only "old" people were Hillary supporters? This should be shocking news to my 23 year old friend in Portland. And of course it's so important to point out that Hillary has never done or said a single constructive thing in her life. Not one.
She has been in league with the Satan, drinking the blood of virgins all these years. It is gratifying that such fair-minded intellectual giants are posting here, and in such a objective manner. Bravo, and congratulations on lifting the level of discourse and encouraging everyone to examine the candidates on the issues and their qualifications! That is just what the country needs now, and so does the Democratic Party.

Ah, correction: Under-age virgins. No need to thank me.

23-year old friend in Portland, eh? Does your 23-year old friend condone Clinton's "divide and conquer" tactics? Does your friend realize that Clinton's tactics have galvanized and energizied BIGOTS throughout the nation? Does your friend care about the harm these tactics are doing to vulnerable minority populations? Can your friend stomach this? If not, perhaps your friend should reconsider.

Hako- For the record, Hillary isn't drinking the blood of virgins...that I know of.

For once, it might be worth a look into what the media is saying about this.
It seems the Fox Noise Machine and company have a monopoly on sympathy for Clinton. I wonder why that is?
