[Hootie]

Ever since I got banned, I've been less active in PoliGAF threads

Ever since the primaries ended I've posted much less in here, but now I'm getting back into the daily grind of things.

I don't know whether thats good or bad though. :lol

 

[The Lamonster]

O'Reilly just showed Ellen and Michelle Obama dancing as "cute,"

and called Elisabeth Hasselbeck a "pinhead" for dissing Michelle and praising Mrs. McCain.




!

POLLS AVERTED!!!

This is obviously the first sign of the Large Hadron Collider firing up.

I've been under the impression that O'Reilly has always secretly (or not) liked Obama.

[typhonsentra]

Holy Crap, McCain just came out as pro-pedophile!!!!

Sorry if posted already

I am speechless, the gloves are off!

For clarification, the law Obama supported is to teach kids the difference between 'good touching' and 'bad touching'.

McCain's right on this one though. We could all learn a thing or two about how to teach kids about the birds and the bees fro McCain and Palin.

Guys, this is by far not the first time Huck stood up for Obama (or fairness in general).

anyone else read this as:

[APF]

Obama's usually an eloquent boy, but I have no doubt he didn't mean anything by simply using the terms "lipstick" and "pig" while talking about his opponents, one of whom has a catchphrase that refers to an animal type and wearing lipstick.

 

[Funky Papa]

I was going to post something over the same lines. Even if Obama's "comprehensive sexual education" for kindergarten kids was intended to avoid sexual abuse, the McCain campaing should be ashamed of blasting said classes considering the circumstances. It is disgusting.

 

[3phemeral]

Can Obama sue for slander? Pretty low on McCain's part.

Or maybe just a counter ad. "Obama, passed legislation to keep kids safe from sexual predators. John McCain has released an ad saying he is against it. How can a man who won't even protect our children be ready to protect our country?"

I like this.

good lord, is that just today?

 

[Tamanon]

I think Huck might be rethinking the ascendancy of Palin as she's taking the place he was going to as leader of the evangelical movement in the party Plus he's a southerner, of course he knows what's going on with that metaphor.

Ronito: No, it's the whole thread.

Seriously, aside from the religious nuttery, Huck is a decent guy.

Sure, but back to back with O'Reilly, it was surreal.

 

[Odrion]

So what was the result of that 6:30 poll that was being hyped?

 

[Stinkles]

Obama's usually an eloquent boy, but I have no doubt he didn't mean anything by simply using the terms "lipstick" and "pig" while talking about his opponents, one of whom has a catchphrase that refers to an animal type and wearing lipstick.

Are you being sarcastic?

 

[DancingJesus]

Ugh this bitch from the View is so damn annoying, then I turn the channel to Fox and you hear Hannity blabbering.

46/45 to Obama.

I feel like I'm taking the bait here, but yeah and I'm sure you meant nothing by referring to Obama as an "eloquent boy." Pretty big difference in context.

 

[TDG]

Oh yeah?

 

[Stoney Mason]

It's APF. Of course he is

That being said even if it is the very worst case of the use of the term I'd ask you APF what is the problem with the analogy. Allusion. Whatever you want to call it. Serious question.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Enough is enough. The McCain campaign’s attack tonight is a pathetic attempt to play the gender card about the use of a common analogy – the same analogy that Senator McCain himself used about Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s health care plan just last year. This phony lecture on gender sensitivity is the height of cynicism and lays bare the increasingly dishonorable campaign John McCain has chosen to run.

Obama camp response. Second one in a row tonight calling McCain dishonorable. This be getting ugly.

 

[tanod]

dude's going soft

Huckabee is the conscience on the shoulder of the Republican party. Palin's the devil.

 

[APF]

Seriously though, it's a pretty harmless gaffe that'll blow over and amount to nothing, but it does show how delicate you have to be with your words when a thousand microphones are on you every second

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Ok so what did i miss outside of the desperate mccain sex-ed ad? Mccain's numbers are higher than they supposed to be?

 

[Tamanon]

We seem to be entering the "Throwin' 'bows" stage of the campaign.

 

[Bulla564]

LOL Hannity is all over this "Lipstick on a Pig" thing.

Time to go to the Hannity.com forums for a good laugh...

 

[ViperVisor]

Tucker Carlson is a liberal. Hannity tried to throw that shit out.

 

[Frank the Great]

Ok so what did i miss outside of the desperate mccain sex-ed ad? Mccain's numbers are higher than they supposed to be?

McCain's bounce seems to have hit its peak. The election is looking a lot closer than it did a week ago, but it all really depends on whether or not McCain/Palin can maintain this momentum and not fade back down to pre-convention levels.

 

[saelz8]

Obama could hit back mean on McCains new sex ad.

McCain is against education that protects children from pedophiles.

Not safe for your children, not safe for America!

 

[capslock]

Obama's got to put out an ad demanding an apology from McCain about the Sex-Ed ad, I mean, that is just outrageous, I can't even imagine what they will run 2 weeks before the vote.

 

[Jak140]

Ok so what did i miss outside of the desperate mccain sex-ed ad? Mccain's numbers are higher than they supposed to be?

Anything higher than 0 is higher than what they should be.

 

[Stoney Mason]

I asked in a prior post but you may have missed it but I'll ask again with a serious question. What is wrong with the allusion? I'm open to being persuaded. I would like to hear the argument for why it is bad and what is the supposed implication that is harmful.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Obama camp response. Second one in a row tonight calling McCain dishonorable. This be getting ugly.

yea, makes you wonder if Obama is still going to say "John McCain has served this country honorably" every time he's right about to shit on him.

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

That there Oh-bah-mah's yewsually such an eloquent bo-eh, but I ha' no doubt 'e didn't mean anythang bah simplay usin' the terms "lipstick" and "pig" whilst talkin' 'bout 'is opponents, one of whom has a kech-phrase that refers to a type o' critter an' wearin' lep-stick.

.

 

[APF]

Stoney Mason: problem with the analogy or whatever? Probably nothing; sometimes you have to call a spade a spade, but even harmless gaffes can be a tar baby--the more you struggle the worse it becomes.

 

[JayDubya]

You're being far too niggardly with your metaphors.

 

[ViperVisor]

I think R. Kelly was a cosponsor of this bill.

 

[Funky Papa]

Jesus Jay, way to throw over the subtlety :lol

 

[Steve Youngblood]

Wow, I'm gone for a few hours, and I missed the sex education ad, and a huge controversy concerning offense taken at an old phrase.

I love politics. Seriously.

 

[capslock]

You're being far too niggardly with your metaphors.

I do what you saw there.

 

[Stoney Mason]

Stoney Mason: problem with the analogy or whatever? Probably nothing; sometimes you have to call a spade a spade, but even harmless gaffes can be a tar baby--the more you struggle the worse it becomes.

Like I said I'm being serious. I get that you are making some reference to racial catch phrases so you are saying that if a female mentions lipstick in a joke analogy then a man isn't allowed to also use that same analogy. She referred to herself as a pitbull implying tenaciouness. He referred to a pig meaning you can't dress up an idea as something it isn't. So is the bad implication that he is literally calling her a pig so she should be offened? Is it that he is calling her ugly? Or that he is calling her phony? Which one of these is the crime?
So pig and lipstick as a common phrase idiom is not usable in general anymore. Or just for women candidates. Or just for a women candidate who mentions lipstick first.

Once again I'm serious. I'm trying to pin down what exactly is the crime here. Has Obama referred to himself as a tarbaby. A spade. Or a boy.

 

[Keylime]

Dude...Obama totally set the trap with the pig in lipstick comment :lol

This is some crazy shit.

 

[VPhys]

Wow, I just became a fan of Joy Behar.

Just one of the things she said on Larry King:

"Joe Biden has been on Meet the Press 42 times, that's a record."

 

[thefro]

is on Maddow's new show ripping the shit out of McCain.

 

[typhonsentra]

Obama's got to put out an ad demanding an apology from McCain about the Sex-Ed ad, I mean, that is just outrageous, I can't even imagine what they will run 2 weeks before the vote.

It'd be much more effective to make a joke out of it.
