2. Us? You mean an anonymous message board on the Internet?
We can't look bad. We define the pit bottom.

4. I was wondering the same thing. Obama made his point - why not move on?
It not only keeps the Repub sexism argument alive, it keeps Palin up-front as the topics Dems just can't stop talking about. Why fulfill the RW wishes?

36. Sit back. Take a couple deep breaths. Let the realization slowly settle in
that you been had.

Somebody posted a classic fake "concern troll" post and pulled you through the knothole with it.

9. look Obama said Pig, it's not his fault if the gop thinks she's a pig. Why Else would they have
gotten upset? She's not a pig right, Obama didn't call her a pig but i guess the gop must secretly think she is a pig.

I wonder if people over on the "other" sites give a rat's ass about such things. As long as it's funny or in someway true, sure why not?

24. She's called the names she EARNS.
And that's not a reflection on us, so no, it doesn't make us look bad. I'm certainly not going to turn the other cheek and play nicey-nice with that vacuous viper, nor should any other democrat. We need to call them every name that fits, and do it long and loud until it sinks into some of the dumber voters out there.

39. How else to explain a liar but to call them a liar?
... a liar, and a phony Christian who speaks in tongues and thinks dinosaurs were hear literally thousands of years ago,
... a liar, who thinks no one else should have the choice in unwed pregnancy that her daughter had,
... a liar, who's also a killa from Wazilla (or whatever the name of that town that's no bigger than Greene, NY) when she thought nothing of spending tax payer money on campaigning so anyone can shoot wolves for sport,
... a liar, who was for the 'bridge from nowhere' before she was against it,
... a liar, who was also a bully for firing the chief cop who wouldn't fire her sister's husband,
... a liar, who couldn't give a shit about her sister's husband when he gave in to his then-7 yr old who wanted to know what it was like to be tazed (and he's now 17)

She's a fucking liar. Some people just are, and I don't want them with their hand on the red phone.

40. Name calling works. Ridicule works.
In fact, ridicule, which includes name-calling, is a potent weapon in politics - it attacks the opponents in a way that make them look foolish, makes their proposals look idiotic, and puts their bad personality traits in the spotlight. And because a good ridicule attack makes people laugh, that causes the attack to stick in the minds of people.

Oh, look bad? The fascist media's gonna try to make us look bad no matter what we do. The GOP's going to slime us with swiftboat attacks no matter what we do. In other words, we have nothing to lose, so we might as well do something to earn the fuckers' emnity.

41. Cases in point: Sarin, Wicked Witch of the North, Caribou Barbie...
Those sorts of name-calling, ridicule attacks stick. People remember them because they make them laugh.

That's why political cartoons continue to be popular after so many decades in the newspapers, and shows like The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are so popular - they ridicule our political figures.

42. Gee....
I wonder where all the outrage was when Randy Rhodes was calling Clinton a "Fucking Whore". Oh, wait a minute, the cheering must have drowned it out. So now we're supposed to be nice to a phony, inexperienced whack-job? Bull-shit. Palin's fair game, and she has only herself, her dismal record, and her lying mouth to blame for it. I say, go after her, no holds barred. You're not going to convince anyone who she really is by being nice. That's lost us two elections in a row, and I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm tired of losing, or handing them a gift, depending on your point of view. I wish people would stop trying to hamstring the democrats, and show a little moxie. Maybe a few of those democrats would take a lesson and actually apply it. Thanks.
