1. OF COURSE HE

Wasn't! Has anybody looked at him.


No, I understand the question, but somebody is going to burn in hell for asking that question on MLK day. I mean the ridiculousness of it. Our country is in shambles, we're dragging the whole world down with us, and I would be ashamed to be overseas and be an American today. I wouldn't be ashamed of anything I had done, but the public who elected this charlatan TWICE! And now this is what the media asks at a party nomination debate. This is as stupid as the UFO question they asked Dennis, but more insensitive.

3. Just noting that Nobel Prize-winning novelist Toni Morrison first wrote that Clinton was...

the first black President -- in The New Yorker magazine.

[muyojoe]

6. I KNOW THAT

But saying that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, didn't make it true. You're ignoring the disgusting side of asking that question at a debate. It doesn't matter who said it, that was not the appropriate time to ask.

7. Sorry, didn't mean to be argumentative. Just noting, in case you...

or others in the thread, didn't know, and were interested, where the characterization originated.

[muyojoe]

8. OK

Maybe I overreacted.

Everyone else seems thrilled with it. I just don't like it. I live in Alabama and I know why that shouldn't have been asked. I can still remember seeing the clan when I was a kid. Those guys aren't gone, I'm only 40.

9. I grew up in the South, and have close friends still there. It's really difficult...

they tell me, living where very few people, even now, share your values and views. Judging from some of the politics down there in the last few years, I'm not sure things haven't gotten worse lately instead of better.

11. NOTHING MUCH I CAN SAY

To a guy who comes to work with a confederate license plate. You know you're in hell when your state sells and produces confederate license plates. My boss has support the troops and W stickers all over his yukon, he's never served a day in his life, while I spent ten years in. They don't send me their emails or talk about politics while I'm around. I never got in a heated argument with them, in fact they never proved me wrong, that I know of.

13. My hat's off to you, muyojoe -- and thank you for your service.

:patriot:

15. NO BIGGIE

I loved it, and would have done 20 if I hadn't gotten in a car wreck. Thanks.

12. From what I hear it is also the combination of increased MIC, plus backward

tendencies --- and rightwing religions.

2. I loved the part

when he said he would have to see Bills dancing ability.! Obama
does have quick wit! :rofl:

[DeepModem Mom]

He is quick. I thought the answer was wonderful -- and it delighted the audience. nt
