Mean Girls 2008
From Maureen Dowd's reported op-ed today - R. D. Levno, a retired school principal, flew in from Fairbanks. “She’s a child, inexperienced and simplistic,” she said of Sarah. “It’s taking us back to junior high school. She’s one of the popular girls, but one of the mean girls. She is seductive, but she is invented.”

McCain's bounce is over. Obama's up by 2%.

Probably so, FB, but forgive me for thinking this was a site about movies. I don't have a problem with the once in a while post about something else, even if it's political, but Dave's made it clear who he supports, do we need the constant pounding over the head about it? We get it, Palin's worse than Osama, she's worse than Hitler. We understand this. Still, you can't even click on these pages to even get to the movie stuff without having to see McCain as a vampire zombie or another anti-Palin post.
DP: Ain't slamming you. I LOVE your sites and you are easily one of the best guys around this business, even if I don't agree with you on evey film. I always read what you think, even if I disagree.
Just so tired of this stuff. I wish bloggers could put two links on their page, one for political stuff and one for whatever it is they used to do.

Finally, some balance on this site. Linking to an intellectually-vacant hit piece starring random people insulting Palin (with a healthy pinch of elitist belittlement aimed at 'Wal-mart folk'), to show that the left can be as petty and mean-spirited as they claim Republicans are.
Thanks for posting.

The only thing "mean" about that picture is that Lacey Chabert got Photoshopped...

"White folks' greed runs a world in need."
-- Obama is quoting from a sermon by Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
I figured out why Obama is the candidate of change. His brother lives in Kenya on 12 dollars a year.
"I am the candidate of change. Anybody have change for a five? I want to send a months salary to my brother." (Okay, I made that up, but it's funny, admit it.)
Democrats are only liberal with tax payers money.
Joe Biden never gave more than one percent of his earnings to charity.

Not a troll as much as he's a dumbass. Go read the article about Obama's half-brother in Kenya. The dude wants nothing to do with Obama because he believes that he needs to do more with his own life, then being his brother.
This is why the right are like JOE. THEY LIE! THEY LIE! WHILE PEOPLE DIE!

"The dude wants nothing to do with Obama because he believes that he needs to do more with his own life."
Plus, it sounds like he's conservative.

Guys, there seem to be multiple Obama half-brothers. One lives in a slum in Kenya, another sounds like a middle-class village dweller, another is a British Muslim. I'm sure there are more that I didn't find on my cursory search.

Ooh! There's another one who's a leftist militant.
In other words, R Scott R could have trolled SO MUCH HARDER if he had done his research.

What does Obama think of his father? He sounds like kind of a deadbeat. Good thing that Barry had some solid family structure to support him.

Yeah, well, he certainly turned out a bit better than Bristol Palin...

Is this thing working? Is this thing on? My computer at work wigged out and I lost my login stuff....derrr. Anyway...
We recently moved to a new neighborhood and one of the folks who live in our complex had a Guliani 08 sticker on their car. O.k...fine. Whatever. They also have stickers that say "No Offshore Drilling" and some innane old Oakland A's sticker.
But the other day my wife and I noticed they had peeled off the Guliani sticker. We actively wondered what the deal was an my guess was that they were fed up and a Ron Paul sticker would soon appear. Her, always the more idealistic/positive of the 2 of us opted to think an Obama sticker might slide on.
Last night we came home to discover a sticker that sayd PALIN in a huge font and McCain above her name realllly small. It's basically a Palin sticker.
Keep in mind they still have the "No Offshore Drilling" sticker on their car as well. Just goes to show that people are fucking idiots everywhere, even in liberal Northern CA. Also makes me really start to think McCain is gonna take this thing.
The negatives, lies and basic out-to-lunchiness of this campaign just flies right over the heads of people not paying attention. And those righties who are paying attention simply refuse to see the truth. Sad state of affairs I tells ya.

Don; they are paying attention. You know what else did not exist 4 years ago when Kerry clearly handed Bush his ass? YOUTUBE! ONLINE VIRAL VIDEO! So there you go. TICK... TICK... TICK... OH SHIT! SARAH PALIN IS BEING CHASED BY A COUGAR!

mutinyco- Unclinch, please. And a modicum of tact, if possible. My comment was a nod of admiration to Obama's family. Growing up without a father is an obstacle, and they did well to fill the gap.
You just can't help yourself, can you?

Please, Mystery. The comment from you that I replied to referred to Barack as "Barry"...

So? Isn't that his nickname? I've heard others causually refer to him as Barry. It wasn't an insult.

mystery I don't know if you're aware of this piece or if you've already read it, but it contains a lot of information about Obama and his biological father. He only met him once, years ago. It's an interesting read.

To be fair, Barry was/is the name his family used at least while he was growing up. Now, a lot of people use it now in an insulting manner and I wasn't sure if mystery was being sarcastic in his remark at first, but I think he was trying to be straight-forward with what he said. Political differences aside, mystery doesn't snipe and isn't given to playground tactics. Call it a draw?

"Democrats are only liberal with tax payers money."
Right. It was the Democrats who've wasted half a trillion dollars pre-emptively invading a third-world country that had neither the desire nor the ability to attack us.
It's the Democrats who will spend hundreds of billions bailing out failed banks and lending firms.
And it was the Democrats who spent $70 million impeaching Bill Clinton for a couple of blow jobs.
Please write back when you arrive in the real world.
