Does anyone have that app for the iPad called "The Daily" from News Corp? Their content always seemed pretty good, not crazy right wing fox news styles shit but starting yesterday they've been sending some strongly anti-Obama push notifications..
Reality has a well known anti-Obama bias.
Oh sorry, I thought that's what we did after the Romney App.
olololo u got him

Your thinking Newscorp. Newscorp has a well known anti-Obama bias.

That's so painful to watch it looks like parody.
There was a typo in some photo app from the Romney campaign that people joked about and I think it hurt Kosmo's feelings.

The Romney Campaigns first (?) iOS app was an app where people could take a photo of themselves with various Mitt Romney branding applied to the photo. The first option you were very clearly had America spelled "Amercia" in very large letters.

This is the new definition of major gaffe. After the Palin disaster republicans started focusing more on minor gaffes during speeches, to prove 1) dems are dumber than republicans 2) the media doesn't report on it. That's why there's so much focus on Biden ("omg did you hear Biden say it's 85 degrees outside when it's really 89 degrees lololol is he going senile").
So uh, very unrelated. Does anyone in here speak Mandarin? I really wanna know what Jon Huntsman says about Romney at the 20:40 mark. The entire thing is a great episode, so yeah.

It's getting really hard to figure out what he's talking about lately. He used to have long arguments that were crazy over time, now it's just drop by posting that don't really attach to anything major and are vaguely coherent from the start.
I'm hoping his next phase is just posting scrambled versions of Romney press releases like some sort of bot.

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
Romney must have a son that can speak it. Ask him

"OK, I think that in two more months, Romney will have a lot of success"
His Mandarin is pretty solid; got that mainland accent nailed.
No, it just distorted what I thought PoliGAF found important/comical. To PD's point, apparently it's only to be joked about for Republicans. My bad!
That would be a huge improvement.
At this point he's like those fanboys that pop into threads on gaming side and accuses everyone else of hivemind.
Like this! Instead of picking fights with particular members, he just fires his poo shotgun into the crowd because we're all Obama apologists apparently and none of this criticism is founded in Romney running an awful campaign in an election that should have been a cakewalk for him.
Nutter is one of the most even-toned politicians I've ever heard. Guy is cool as a cucumber.
I have found little evidence to the contrary for most in PoliGAF, save minor issues. Fake-PD, eznark, Bulbo, TA, and a few others aside, of course.

Oh dems definitely have gaffes, but the minor stuff you guys focus on rarely compares to things like...not being able to name a newspaper you read, seeing Russia from your house...yeah. And before you mention Obama and his 57 states, I'd chalk up 90% of stump speech brain farts as minor, as would most Americans. No one looks at Obama and says "ha he thinks there are 57 states." People look at Palin and say "ha...she's pretty dumb." To be fair, many look at Biden in a similar fashion but overall Palin takes the cake.
I'd agree that there is a large liberal slant here, but your method of countering that bias doesn't help your case nor does it foster discussion.
I'm a moderate from the deep south. I'm likely not going to vote because I don't really care for either choice, but I'm very interested in political processes, so I like to look at the arguments folks have in this thread.
The bolded names have done alot to put good arguments up and are great posters overall. They also provide valid counterpoints to many ideologically liberal arguments and don't bother to acknowledge the fanboy bullshit. I'd add Alteredbeast to that list too, though he may not count with your definition of 'not being an Obama apologist.'
You don't add anything to most discussions and don't do much to bridge gaps in ideology or beliefs.

Putting a typo in your official presidential campaign iOS app is just a bit different.

Kosmo, isn't misspelling "America" is a far greater source of laughs than misspelling Barack, especially considering the source?

As if anything means anything to him, it's just tit for tat BS.
Someone needs to program a Kosmo false equivalency generator.
Should be around 10 PM EST.

I am no Sarah Palin defender, but that was from an SNL skit.
You mean Kosmo ISN'T a false equivalency generator already?
Maybe he's a cyborg. Some sort of bot / human hybrid that is truly the future of automated trolling.

What Palin said was this:
"you can actually see Russia, from land, here in Alaska"
And it's just as fucking moronic.
It would explain why he connects with Romney so well.
Awesome. Thanks.

Yeah, I think they interface via a serial port.
Has this election been really boring to anyone else? I know this election is frequently compared to 2004 but I don't recall it being that boring. Things are happening, but they aren't major. Not much real future policy being discussed on either side.
I think the crazy bit about it that she used it as a credential for her foreign policy chops.
That an amazingly silly thing to say even if you could see Russia from her house.

Not surprising as Palin was the source of endless entertainment in 2008. We don't really have an equivalent in 2012.
Also, most of Liberal GAF seems convinced that Obama already has this in the bag.
Here's the algorithm:
One side does something bad.
=
But the other side is just as bad but worse because Kenya.
Resistance is futile
Wait until Israel bombs Iran - then it will get interesting.
And here I thought it was:
One side does something bad.
=
But the other side isn't as bad because they evolved on gay marriage.
I'm for gay marriage, FYI
I was just about to post this same thing! It was insane that they used that to say she knew about foreign policy.
Palin is the worst VP pick in modern history - there is no question about that. That being said, she was treated shittier than any other VP ever and even female Democrats admit it was unfair and she would not have been treated that way if she was a man.
It almost reminds me of the last NY state gubernatorial election, except Romney isn't as insane as Palladino and Cuomo isn't as charismatic as Obama. Dear god Cuomo's entire election strategy came down to "Hey, it's me your AG. I'd like to be Governor. This is my opponent" at which point we'd see a clip of Palladino on the news being retarded or kidnapping a member of the press (yes this happened, he handcuffed a guy in a backroom if memory serves). Basically we all knew how it would end, sort of like how we all know how this will end.

Especially when people can take pictures of things with the typo plastered on it... it was way more lol-worthy.
Should this happen, I hope the US response is "you're on your fucking own."
It won't be, for myriad reasons, but there's no god damn reason for anyone to go to war with Iran at this moment. Furthermore, Isreal has plenty of military firepower. They don't need the US to join in. But hey, I guess I'm throwing them under the bus, right?

This is seriously the kind of line I expect out of reading grimdark 40k. Apparently our democratically elected president is actually a daemon ready to plunge our world into a millennium of darkness if the pact is sealed (and he is elected... again).
