[Barack_America]

6. Hmmm, methinks the fighting has begun.

Thanks a lot for posting that quote, I had forgotten about it.

Ghandi, what a brilliant man! I also just found out that the grandfather of actor Kal Penn (who has been campaigning tirelessly for Obama) marched with Ghandi! And so it comes full circle! :D

[Demobrat]

12. Actually I think we're still in the mocking phase.

At least according to the last speech of Hillary's I heard.

[Barack_America]

14. They seem to be overlapping, IMO.

The "Shame on you, Barack Obama" was definitely hostile. I think the mocking began with the cult BS. So perhaps we're transitioning into the fighting stage?

Let's see what the next debate holds!

[earthlover]

7. Hillary has done all that...looks like Obama wins!

[TheDonkey]

9. Thank you for that quote. Very enlightening.

[Occam Bandage]

[Major Hogwash]

13. Oh, that's gotta hurt.

Quoting somebody famous like that.

LoL

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

15. I've been ignored, then mocked and now I have f***ing fight? Sheesh.

K & R.

:kick:


:toast:

[Kokonoe]

18. I tried to adapt it in support of Obama

Good leaders idea's are ignored and their existence is unnoticed.

He will be praised and honored by cultist supporters.

Revelations about him are distributed as dangerous to build fear and hate.

Those in control credit themselves when the people change history.

I don't mean this post in a negative way

[billbuckhead]

19. And then there's Pakistan.

[Alex K]

20. ah, i had forgotten that one, that's a good quote!

[alteredstate]

[riverwalker]

22. thank you

I was looking for that quote!

[mythyc]

23. you're welcome....

can anybody tell me what k&r means? I'm hopelessly computer lingo illiterate.... maybe i'll start communicating in footnote abbreviations (ibid.) :1

[MzShellG]

28. Pssst...

It means to kick and recommend the thread. Welcome to DU. :hi:

[bridgit]

24. Sure; he's already "the light", "the one", "the hope of the entire world", likened to...

Fard Muhammad/Jesus (little doubt Buddha's on the way), may as well toss in Gandhi too :thumbsup:

[mythyc]

26. i have just one reply to that:

:rant: ... ;-)

oh, i guess that's two. Have you read my profile comment? "those who too hastily conflate sophistry and rhetoric miss what words say", a little Confucius word-shopping to throw into the trail mix ... (three now, ok i'll stop :)) all in fun :D

[bridgit]

29. I got'cha, I should change my sig-line to this one, “God thinks within geniuses, dreams within poets

"...and sleeps within the rest of us” - Peter Antenberg ;)

[mythyc]

31. That's beautiful....

what's that from?

[depakid]

25. I see your Gandhi and raise you a Santayana

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

and a Franklin:

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

[mythyc]

27. call and I raise you an Emerson and 3 Gibrans

Yesterday is but today's memory, tomorrow is today's dream.
If indeed you must be candid, be candid beautifully.
Half of what I say is meaningless; but I say it so that the other half may reach you. (K. Gibran)

By necessity, by proclivity, and by delight, we all quote. (R.W. Emerson)

i hope you weren't bluffing....

30. First they ignore you, then you win, then they fight you, then they mock you." B. Obama

:P

[Johnny__Motown]

32. No doubt we hit the "Mock" phase yesterday, the "Fight" should be the debate and the Win is on 3/4

[Beacool]

33. Please, oh please, don't make an analogy of the great Ghandi

and Obama. Please, when is the communal Kool-Aid going to wear off!!!!!!!!!


:crazy:

[angie_love]

34. That quote is so true

[Raine]
