So rattling house keys is a no-no. Here's the headline

[xfundy]

... on Fox Noise and possibly the M$M:

"Democrat (sic) Operatives discussed the idea of rattling keyrings at McCain appearances, hoping to take advantage of his memories of torment, and specifically his oft-stated aversion to the sound of keys rattling as his captors often did during his five and a half years of TORTURE as a PRISONER OF WAR. How can they be so cruel, callous and unpatriotic?"

"The democrat operatives also discussed rattling brightly colored plastic key-shaped toys on a plastic ring, apparently to call attention to rumors that McCain suffers from so-called "PTSD" and reacts negatively when he hears keys rattlling--presumably attempting to claim he is somehow a "Manchurian candidate." Can they go any lower?"

"Will the Democrat Party stop at nothing in attacking a genuine war hero? Toy plastic keys, indeed! These libruls think everything's a toy! Especially our nation, which was founded on the Christian principles the libruls mock!"

This should have been obvious years ago, but for those just tuning in: Regardless of what we do, the repigs and Rove and his sucklings will twist and knead and finesse and create dung from Swiss chocolate.

Personally, I don't know what we do to counteract this; my mind's just not twisted enough to engage them using their own constantly-changing slaughterhouse rules. My idea would entail explaining the method, the attack-anything ruse, but I doubt most people would sit still long enough to hear or think about it.

The good news is that the repigs have chosen to demonize the people who actually THINK in the world, and we can defeat them, but thinking takes time, and consensus takes even more.

Those of you who create the once-vaunted "American Ingenuity," we're all counting on you.

Get to know me, Obama says going into convention


http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/08/25/dnc.main /


DENVER, Colorado (CNN) -- Sen. Barack Obama says this week's Democratic National Convention would help give voters a better "sense of who I am" -- and Obama could get some unexpected help.
Sen. Edward Kennedy, right, endorsed Sen. Barack Obama in January.

Plans are in place for Sen. Edward Kennedy to make a dramatic appearance Monday on opening night -- subject to whether he is up to making the trip, a top Obama campaign official said.

The Massachusetts Democrat had surgery June 2 for a brain tumor.

Top Kennedy staffers are in the convention city, and the Obama campaign official who is helping orchestrate the program tells CNN that he has been instructed "to presume is coming and make preparations on the basis of him coming."

The official program for Monday night calls for a videotaped message from Kennedy, but a Democratic source close to the senator's family said Sunday night that the 76-year-old liberal icon "is itching to go and pushing back" at those who say it is too risky a trip to make.

Also scheduled to speak Monday night is Michelle Obama, the Illinois senator's wife.

With the exception of one dramatic return to the Capitol for a crucial vote, Kennedy has been out of the public eye recuperating.

The sources said the final call would be made Monday in consultation with doctors and family members.

Kennedy endorsed Obama over Sen. Hillary Clinton during the Democratic primary season. He was an active surrogate for Obama until suffering a seizure that led to the discovery of his brain cancer.

The Obama campaign, meanwhile, is trying to win over the working-class voters who supported Clinton in larger numbers in many states during the Democratic primaries.

Obama said Sunday he hopes those voters will conclude from the four-day convention that he is "sort of like us. He comes from a middle-class background. He went to school on scholarships; he had to pay off student loans. He and his wife had to worry about child care."

Also Sunday, a Democratic official said Clinton likely will release her delegates to Obama.

And the Democratic Party decided delegates from Michigan and Florida -- states that had been penalized for moving their 2008 presidential primaries to January -- will get full voting rights at the event. Ending the sanctions had been a goal of Clinton.

The moves answered some questions that lingered ahead of the convention, which starts Monday in Denver.

4. Time to stay ON TOPIC in a thread.

OK?

[flamingdem]

5. I am on topic, the topic is Obama and not getting in the way of his message, OK? nt

[xfundy]

10. Not ok to attempt to hijack a thread. OK?

[Unsane]

2. You're too meek. This is about McCain's houses.

[DangerousRhythm]

3. Yep, I don't think we can afford to mess this one up.

Monopoly houses = great
Keys = not so great, potentially disastrous.

[symbolman]

6. Bullshit..Psyops Framing by the right wing to control US

Fuck them..

The answer is,"these are the keys to your Seven Homes, you Elitist Pig!"

Or

"These are the keys to the Whitehouse that you cannot Have!"

Are they trying to say that McCain has Superhuman hearing? He can hear keys rattle from Denver?

He has No Keys to Seven houses? Or do the SERVANTS open doors and drive him?

Fuck you McCain, if you're that crippled then you shouldn't be in the White House!!

[snowbear]

7. OMG -- that is awesome!

14. Cool! Glad you like

spread it around, let ALL the kids see it, eh?

I'm working on a clean version for a T-Shirt, I REALLY want to get this out there.. I'm very flattered

[redqueen]

17. And the M$M will broadast your answer? Instead of framing it to help McCain?

Sure... sure that'll happen.

[symbolman]

20. No real reason to answer you

since you are just baiting people, which by the rules is actual DISRUPTION..

But yeah, when a thousand people shake their keys it will get BEYOND the media..

You don't know much about it, do you, really?

I've spent 7 years running takebackthemedia.com hanging out with congressmen, Michael Moore, Wes Boyd who owns Moveon, Janeane Garofalo, people like that..

See, when you do the work, your opinion actually counts for something..

[redqueen]

22. That's really sad... the projection.

I'm not baiting people. Those insults you just did there? About what I don't know? That's baiting.

See me not biting?

8. If McLame is afraid of keys, he's unfit to be President

Damaged goods, I say.

You gotta be kidding me if anybody thinks he has what it takes to be President.

This only proves it further.

[xfundy]

9. Agreed.

11. Oh, shit,, 666 posts.

when i was a kid, my fundie mother often told me the antichrist was a kid, about my age. I often wondered if it was maybe me.

I didn't get the bike I wanted, or the games, the t-shirts, or the friends, or, basically, anything. Guess I'm not him. But when he shows up, I'll kick his ass for getting my stuff.

[demobabe]

12. It's okay...

[symbolman]

13. You are fucking hilarious

Let's get you on HBO as XFundy, and I'll be a straight man, XCatholic, tho that's a little threadworn, everyone is sick of nun jokes..

But the AntiChrist being your kid?

"Damien! Drink your Blood of Christ, damn it! You spilled it again! You do that EVERY TIME!.. No XBOX for YOU!"

Honest, you made me ROFL

[xfundy]

16. Aw, shucks.

I like your idea.. maybe not HBO, but something.

Check your mailbox for my true identity. I'm a little rusty but the material is free and abundant these days.

How can a man who comes unglued at the sound of jangling keys be trusted to have his hand on the button?

[WeDidIt]
