rev'D Commented on Obama: My Election Demonstrates That "The Dream Of Our Founders Is Alive" by Greg Sargent

T'was nice to hear the wind taken out of their sails a tad, though-- they thought they'd found a new fuhrer, and really all they had was a sad old man. Every time he grimaced and waved for them to STFU & sit down, they sounded a little weaker. By the end even that moronic U.S.A. chant had only a fraction of its usual hungry, lynch-happy power.

Not that these idiots are defeated, by any means, but McCain's concession was a heavy blow to their Good German Egos. It's a start.

Video? Just saw McCain's (encouragingly gracious, albeit very-little, very-late) concession speech. Want to hear Obama deliver his half.

Appreciate the candor & clarification, even if I'm not seeing 'em. I grew tired of pop-ups etc. some months back as they were growing ever more invasive (and this isn't anything against you kids-- I'm referring to the banner / pop practice as a whole, here) so I finally broke down and got Firefox's add-art plug-in.

Thanks for posting this, Zach, and an additional thanks to David Kurtz for posting a link on the main page-- this topic needs to be pushed, and pushed hard.

Not to say the Todd debacle doesn't deserve a certain amount of attention (as evidence of increasing instability among McCain's base, if nothing else) but it's more noise than signal at a crucial juncture: namely, when a sitting president is actively involved in trying to influence the outcome of an election.

Here's hoping we see this topic in play among the major news orgs by Tuesday at the latest.

I've seen a nonstop tumult of anti-Saxby ads on the tube at the bar where I work-- on FOX, no less. Only one anti-Martin, so far. The anti-Martin ad looked like the typical, trite terrormongering smear: "You don't know the truth about..." etc.

And yeah, everybody I've talked to has already turned in their votes. Atlanta might just be a driving force this cycle!

The shift in Florida's pleased me no end, but to see my home state turning its colors... This is turning into a great morning.

Ding! The full design comes from Thomas Pynchon's 'V.'-- it's a band-stop filter, used to eliminate noise in public address systems, amplifiers & the like. Pynchon suggested that the diagram was the inspiration f/ Kilroy.

Robocalls are infuriating as advertising, whether by a faceless corporation hawking unnecessary goods or by a worthy candidate.

Spam is spam, dammit.

No fuzzy thinker, that McCain. The world as he sees it is purely GI/GO.

Unless you disagree with him, in which case it's time for beatings.

Doubtless doesn't help their case that they're no longer in complete control of the media narrative. Every time Maverickthulhu goes on the air he gets quizzed about the spurious accusations he's made re: Ayers and has to re-assert "It's all true. But my campaign's about the economy!" Which, as responses go, is not only schizoid as hell but a neat narrative encapsulation of the massive FAIL that is the McCampaign.

Co-signed. Sad fact remains, TDS is one of the better ways of getting sidelined news items out to the less-political.

Seriously, the MCCAIN SUPPORTERS = BLOODTHIRSTY EEDJITS meme needs to be pushed all the way across the MSM. The major newspapers & networks- excepting the Fox Squawkbox --have been disrespected & slapped around altogether too much by the current administration (in general) McCain's campaign (in particular) to not pick a side and come out swinging.

Personally I'm hoping Maddow pushes it all the way up until election day. She's got a great start:

Obviously McCain's campaign is on kamikaze autopilot at this point-- why else would they be so tacitly endorsing hate speech? That's what this continued wink-wink nudge-nudge of pregnant pauses, smiles & waves is about: McCain & Palin don't want to distance themselves from it. They know they've only got one chance left to make their opponents pay and this is it. If they can't win, they want to try and get the other guy shot.

Culture of life my arse.

McCain's campaign is obviously on kamikaze-- he can't possibly care about winning if he's willing to tacitly endorse hate speech.
