(sorry Monica), it's me again. I caught your stand up routine last night. Funny! For a minute there I swore I was watching Def Comedy Jam. You were rocking the house girl. You had them at hello. I loved your hype man, Rudy, too. (Is it me, or is that guy getting more deranged with each passing day?) He had the house rocking; he threw lots of red meat for your redneck friends, and they were loving every minute of it.
BTW, I hear that Karl Rove's people wrote your lines for you, must be nice.
But hey, I have some other lines you might want to throw into your next routine.
Check em out:
"Palin recently said that the war in Iraq is 'God's task.' She's even admitted she hasn't thought about the war much—just last year she was quoted saying, "I've been so focused on state government, I haven't really focused much on the war in Iraq."
Palin has actively sought the support of the fringe Alaska Independence Party. Six months ago, Palin told members of the group—who advocate for a vote on secession from the union—to "keep up the good work" and "wished the party luck on what she called its 'inspiring convention.'"
Palin wants to teach creationism in public schools. She hasn't made clear whether she thinks evolution is a fact.
Palin doesn't believe that humans contribute to global warming. Speaking about climate change, she said, "I'm not one though who would attribute it to being man made."
Palin has close ties to Big Oil. Her inauguration was even sponsored by BP.
Palin is extremely anti-choice. She doesn't even support abortion in the case of rape or incest.
Palin opposes comprehensive sex-ed in public schools. She's said she will only support abstinence-only approaches.
As mayor, Palin tried to ban books from the library. Palin asked the library how she might go about banning books because some had inappropriate language in them—shocking the librarian, Mary Ellen Baker. According to Time, 'news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire Baker for not giving 'full support" to the mayor.'
She DID support the Bridge to Nowhere (before she opposed it). Palin claimed that she said 'thanks, but no thanks' to the infamous Bridge to Nowhere. But in 2006, Palin supported the project repeatedly, saying that Alaska should take advantage of earmarks 'while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist."'
Now that's some funny shit. That should have every A-merry-can rolling in their seats.

She is a total bitch!
McCandy is paranoid too.
Maybe she's all jacked up on diet pills? You know, she thinks she and the Old Coot are a shoo-in for victory, so she's getting rid of her jelly to look all stylish on her swearin' in day in January?
Now Miss Thang is running around, telling people the "Democrats and the Obama/Biden folks are spreading vicious rumors about me and my family."
Wait till the Nat'l Enquirer publishes their interview with the business partner of her husband who says she was fucking him as recently as 2005?
Calling Obama UPPITY without apologies--that didnt take long from this republican at the RNC.
I was stunned, to hear the speakers mock the entire concept of community organizing. Rudy Giuliani spluttered out to a wildly cheering crowd: "He [Obama] worked as a community organizer. What? He worked — I said — I said, OK, OK, maybe this is the first problem on the resume."
Do the Republicans not know what community organizing means?
I can think of nothing better for the start of one's resume--than spending three years as a community organizer, learning about the real issues real people face.
Field,
You forgot to mention that she went to five colleges in six years. It’s scary to think that she got a job as a TV sports reporter without ever having worked for even a school newspaper. It seems that the woman has been promoted her whole life to jobs where she has no previous experience. For all our sakes, let’s hope the next stop isn’t the White House.
And the AP is reporting that the aviation units of the Alaska National Guard are among the most poorly staffed in the nation. If the Repubs want to look at us with a straight face and tell us she has international experience because her state is close to Russia and she commands the Alaskan Guard, then don’t we have the right to question why the guard’s top officer is saying that the lack of qualified airman “has reached a crisis level”?
Also, I stand corrected on a previous post. Palin actually does believe in birth control. She’s still an extremist, considering that she’s against abortion even in the case of rape or incest. But I hate to be putting out false information.
Sheila
As far as mocking the community organizer ... there's a great blog, called Mudflats, written by an Alaskan whose giving the rest of the nation the low-down on Sarah Palin and the whole state of Alaska. There was one great line that came from Mudflats today: "Jesus was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a governor."
Sheila
Yeah right...and how come her preggo daughter is off limits, but she was going into detail how her son and nephew are going off to war...and why was her family there on display if they are not up for discussion? Typical republican hypocrisy.
http://sullsblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/isnt-juno-city-in-alaska.html
anon, I just saw that story about the 5 colleges in 6 years...what the hell is that about? This is like peeling a bad onion. every layer is another tear.
Don't forget McCandy's crazy pastors. They have said some very questionable things. Like nobody gets to heaven without Jesus--they'll love that in Florida.
Now come on field.
I know that you have often said that you doubt Obama can make it to the White House, but you have to admit that with the Republicans self destructing like this that his chances look much, much better.
Come on, let's hear a little of that positive attitude.
Yes we can, because the Republicans are a joke.
"ELITIST" The new word for educated black folks who are doing better than you.
yo field, did you u see this?
http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/westmoreland-calls-obama-uppity-2008-09-04.html
Did you guys see where Palin's speech helped Obama to raise $8 mil. The media is lying again about the polls numbers, Gallup polls say that Obama still maintains his 8 point lead. YES WE CAN!
Does the nation want the theocracy of the rethugs? Or the domocracy of the dems?
Go-Obama!!
Ok kids,
I am watching the convention coverage as we speak, and the Rethuglicans just rolled out the fear card. They just showed a three minute film on: guess what?!!
9/11!
Oh, snap

Remember, these persons (I will not say pigs) were the same people who waved their cute little purple heart band aids in the 2004 convention to mock John Kerry, who unlike their candidate, the AWOL W., was in Viet Nam serving his country.
OK. I will say it. These people are pigs!
Nobody brings up the possibility that they are TRYING to hand the election over to Obama...or is it just me?
And is it just me, or does Bristol's boyfriend look to be about 25, or 30?
She did indeed put on a good act at the redneck hoedown. Hopefully America won't get snookered with her every-woman act and will realize this woman is probably a tad crazier than McNasty himself.
Welcome to the RNC starring Sarah Palin in "Gidget Goes to Washington" -- except this time it's a horror flick.
Don't know if you saw Jon Stewart yesterday, but he nailed it:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/04/jon-stewart-hits-karl-rov_n_123852.html
P.S. Field -- love the picture of Guiliani. My 84 year old mother got so mad at him last night, she called him a n****r.
cici, I saw that about the community organizor" crack. The Afrospehre folks are all over it. Just goes to show you how out of touch these folks are. I would love to hear one of my rethug friends support them on this. How else can we help inner city and urban A-merry-ca if we don't community organize? Oh wait, they DON'T want to help inner city or urban A-merry-ca.
Paul, I heard about the "uppity negra" comment. But why are you surprised? I have been telling you that this is what these folks think of your boy all along.
"Now come on field.
I know that you have often said that you doubt Obama can make it to the White House, but you have to admit that with the Republicans self destructing like this that his chances look much, much better"
Yes, your chances are better thanks to the BQ, but I honestly think your boy is still going to lose. I wouldn't put my butt (literally) on the line if I didn't. :)
Sheila, thanks for that line from "Mudflats, that's great stuff.
I spotted two Negroes so far. Damn, the under is winning right now.
msmoses, tell your mama she needs to quit. I would love to meet her, I bet we would bond:)
Just came out in the AP that Palin went to 5 colleges in 6 years. No one from McSame's camp called the U of Idaho to even check if she graduated. This is some funny stuff!!
Wow, and to be an educated black person is uppity? Hilarious!! What will they say next?
Not to forget, looking at the folks attending the RNC - it is a sea of old white men...I was like dang! .
She pimps her disabled son Twig, Track, Trunk... or whatever she calls him, but she also cut funding for special needs education by 62%.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/09/04/politics/animal/main4414049.shtml
Hopefully this gets out there.
Dave Sullivan:
"Governors work 16 hour days and have very little time off. Her husband works for BP as an oil-field production operator and owns a commercial fishing business, which doesn't leave a lot of "family time". They have an intact family unit with plenty of financial resources, but their kid still got knocked up."
"By having a 17 year old pregnant daughter she appears to be a failure as a parent by definition of her and her party's platform."
Very good points you raised on your blog, Sullivan, something to really think about, because it's true.
Agentx:
Lord Jesus! The saga of the Palin family has just stole the ratings of the Jerry Springer show. Jerry watch you back I think Palin wants your job. The young man sounded sincere, and if this is true, Mrs. Second Runner Up Congeniality deserves an award for the biggest hypocrit in America. I wonder what her church congregation has to say about this. Does this still mean RESTORATION? Maury get ready to do a DNA test on whose the real father of this child.
"but she also cut funding for special needs education by 62%."
Where is protective child services when you need them? She is a cold-hearted unfit mother.

McCain camp: National Enquirer report of Palin affair is 'a vicious lie'
`
Seeriously, I am getting tired of the Jerry Springer like references... I was glad to read this post, about issues.... I dont give a shit whose baby is whose... or who fucked who...
I think Obama is right to ignore the salacious gossipy personal crap and stick with the issues.
Maybe its just where I live (Philly) but I am not hearing people thinking she helps McCain win... all the idiot men in my office just keep saying is "she's hot." (these harmonally challenged are of multiple ethnicities) But, while they may all want to fuck her, they do not want to vote for her.
Thanks for breaking it ALL down about the Beauty Queen,Field!
I've just sent the link to today's post to ALL my f-mail buddies.
How are those workouts going?? :-)
Has anyone noticed how McPain pauses when he thinks he's scored a zinger, and flashes that toothy grin of his, in a kind of self-congratulatory, I'm-taking-a-bow, wasn't-I-clever, kind of way.
The cartoon in the previous blog captures it perfectly.
I wonder how many of those grins he'll treat us to in tonight's acceptance speech.
The man is simply bonkers: I wouldn't trust him with a firecracker.
That plane that Palin put on ebay?? Didn't sell on ebay:
http://www.ajc.com/news/content/news/stories/2008/09/04/palin_plane.html?cxntlid=homepage_tab_newstab
Field, did you hear? Cindy walked on stage w/ 3kt diamond earings, pearl kneckless, and Oscar De Larenta dress all totaling 300thousand dollars...and they call Obama an elitest.
These people are losing their fucking minds.
Comparing what we saw last night to Def Comedy Jam was a spot-on analogy. Now I'm surprised that I didn't see "This Is A Russell Simmons production" at the end.
The more I read about Sarah Palin, it's starting to look as if she's defying The Peter Principle. Hopefully, she has reached her "level of incompetence" in her current position as Governor and she'll remain there instead of making the trip to Washington D.C.
As the game of "Spot the Negro" continues at the RNC, I saw one at 11:03 PM EST.
Counted 7 Negroes, and that includes his adopted daughter.
Field, the under won. I counted four Black people and two Latinos, and the only reason why I found the Latinos is because they were holding handmade signs. Unless it was the same one. :)
Five colleges in six years? What kind of fucked up student does that except for a deliquent?
I don't know, Field.
Does your wife know how obsessed you are becoming with this white woman from Alaska?
I think you are giving her a little more attention that she deserves.
Getting a little concerned for you, bro.
If I had planned to watch mcCain's speech live, this is the group I'd want to watch it with. But because y'all weren't around, I decided to watch 2-1/2 Men and just read the reviews of the speech. That way I don't get indigestion.
Just watched McCain's speech. Wish I would have just watched the paint dry instead.
My idea of a President/Vice President is believer in the Constitution, a visionary with substance and understanding of the very basic human qualities.
This Manchurian Candidate experiment, we are witnessing with McCain/Palin is a great example of the long term effects of bigotry. The result is an infrastructure in place where their descendants and people who agree do not fail. (Homosocial Reproduction)... No matter what happens…. It’s that simple.
We are watching the plantation owner and an overseer, collaborating with each other to keep this infrastructure in place …
As we give out attention to this major distraction, we forget about the War, Economy, Healthcare, Education, Energy etc…Where are John and Abigail Adams when you need them.
I cannot believe we are still at this same place as human beings.
I didnt' watch it. I could only stomach so much with last night. Besides, I figured I didn't want to increase the ratings for the show. I did, however, come across a truly frightening piece about Palin on the Web. It's a letter circulating about her in her home town. I got it off a blog called Mudflats, which is written by an Alaskan who lives close to Wasilla.
This letter that this woman wrote should be required reading for everybody who wants to know more about Palin. Some of this stuff has already been posted in the media, but it paints a picture of a woman with blind ambition and little competence.

Sheila
No one was tired of hearing about "Baby Mommas" back a few blogs ago though, huh? Nor was anyone talking about issues back then. Or tired of hearing about who was sleeping with who. The double standard is amazing.
While everyone was watching McCain tonight, O'Reilly interviewed Obama.
I read that article on Mudflat about Palin. She is scary, another Bush.
What was interesting tonight watching the audience in RNC was there were a lot of people that weren't applauding or smiling, and did't look convinced, but the cameras made sure they passed over them quick. I thought my McCain's speech stole a lot from DNC and Obama's speech on plans for America. They are trying to pass off his ideas as their own.
As someone else mentioned, he did smile every time the crowd applauded in a "self congratulatory, I'm-taking-a-bow, wasn't-I-clever, kind of way" I noticed that too. I went over to a neighbors house and watched it, I didn't want them to get a TV rating from me.
Uhuru, you were my first female role model! {That Nurse Chapel was such a wimp.}
"As we give out attention to this major distraction, we forget about the War, Economy, Healthcare, Education, Energy etc…"
Yep, that's the general idea.
What scares me is that people voted for Bush--twice. Don't people realize that voting for somebody that they'd like to sit down and have a beer with is what got them in this trouble in the first place?
And granny, I have also noticed that McCain has completely stolen Obama's message of change. It's as if his party was the one in control in Washington in the last few years.
Sheila
It's funny how the McCain and Palin keep saying that Obama is not ready to lead and no experience. However, for someone McCain claims is not ready to lead and lacking experience, McCain sure like to steal Obama's ideas and claim them as his own. He doesn't seem to have a problem with that. Plagarist of ideas. McCain lacks original thought.
Speaking of flies in the buttermilk, where the hell are the three C's: Condi, Clarence and Colin?
granny -- With all this hoopla about Gidget, Moondoggie and their 5 kids, Abramoff's conviction flew completely under the radar screen today -- you know Repubs are heaving a sigh of relief.
P.S. Am I the only one who noticed her son is deploying to Iraq on 9/11 -- who did they have to pay off to make that happen?
msmoses:
Yup, msmoses. However, I read about Abramoff conviction in the newspaper. Did you notice how Senator Graham told that bald face lie and said Obama never sat down with General Pretreus(Spelling?). Not only did Obama sit down with him, he rode in an airplane with him and they took pictures together. I noticed they told a lot of lies in their speeches, but they were lies that were obvious.
BTW, funny you should mention flies in the buttermilk, I said that today in a conversation with someone.
Palin was a lobbist for Abramoff too. Wasn't McCain involved with Abramoff too? I think he was.
The reviews for McCain's speech are in. They're not good.
I thought it was a boring and strange "l'm for change too!!" speech. Like an earlier comment said, he acts as if his party isn't in the White House now. Bizarre.
Obama raised 10 million online after Palin's speech, breaking the amount raised in one day record. McCain raised a million. hmmm
Hillary Clinton should be pressed into service to handle Sarah "Hockey Mom" Palin, the pugnacious lipstick-wearing bulldog, ex-beauty queen, moose-killing, gun-toting, out-of-the-blue, half-ass vetted, GOP veep pick.
Wanna bet on who'll win in a one-on-one scrap.
My money's on Hillary.
Nyc/caribnean:
I just got through reading just about every blog and newspaper there is, and I noticed that too. McCain's speech didn't go over to well, and community organizers aren't feeling Palin either. In fact, the community organizers are real upset with Palin's diss of community organizer work.
McCains speech wasn't all that, and he stole some of Obama's message too. In other words, McCain did not come from his heart, instead he called himself telling the people what they wanted to hear to get elected. He missed his calling he should have tried acting instead of politics. On second thought, maybe, not acting, because he would have been just like Reagan no good.
Field:
Rudy looks better with a wig on, not a whole lot better, but a tiny bit better. Maybe, he should just go ahead and have a sex change. It might help.
!ncy: "Like an earlier comment said, he acts as if his party isn't in the White House now. Bizarre."
It's said that Palin is investigating herself.
And McPain, and the GOP (an analogy):
It's like boycotting your own birthday party, complaining that it costs too much.
"half-ass vetted"
Given the dirt that's coming out so far, I doubt that even one-tenth of her ass was vetted!
Experts callin this the worst acceptance speech since Carter in '80! Damn....if they don't get a Palin speech bump they're in trouble.
Yes folks Mr. Morton totally f****d up his little town hall talk last night. Geeez! Now Iam getting worried. :( I am going to have to call my contacts in the Philly PD and make sure I don't get arrested for lewd behavior come November.
"I don't know, Field.
Does your wife know how obsessed you are becoming with this white woman from Alaska?
I think you are giving her a little more attention that she deserves.
Getting a little concerned for you, bro."
Mrs. Field will put up with a lot of things (See my Lark obsession for instance), but not with the kid having a crush on a jesus freak from Alaska :) But don't worry, I will be fine, this too will pass.
Yes r.j., I think the unders won too. I counted about seven Negroes. (Including some guy who looked like he worked there) Wait, I saw two Negroes in the receiving line too. Okay, so that's nine. The unders have it!
"Speaking of flies in the buttermilk, where the hell are the three C's: Condi, Clarence and Colin?"
Forget the other two, where is Condi? Now Adam, there is someone you should be asking me about.
Not to mention the fact that at community organizer in Chicago, New York or Philly could EASILY be responsible for MORE than 9000 people. This is some straight up foolishness.
wait till the repbs bring back the drug dealing days of dho!!!
after the convention they'll drop the hammer on homeboy...lol
61% of the polling public thinks the press is being unfair to sara so keep it up fn....ya'll just making it worse on the dems.
don't forget about bho's terrorist connections and that fucked up preacher of his "no, no, no not God bless America God d@#% America"
that's going great for you guys!!!!
Anonymous 7:51 am...Ummmm,The public didn't say one word when Obama was being maligned in the press on a daily basis, did they?Sara Palin is a joke and should be sent packing and guess what, McCain isn't any better!Republicans are some self righteous, fake, phony lying pink elephants in the room!5M
we're suppose to elect obh...hummmm
big diamond "kwame" started out a community orginizer too
how'd that work out for ya'll (dems)
and oh, the press has really gone after obh.....yea right they even admit they've been soft on him!!!
"half-ass vetted"
"Given the dirt that's coming out so far, I doubt that even one-tenth of her ass was vetted."
-That's the problem: McCain was vetting that ass!
"And that, my friends, is an ass you can believe in!"
I am heartbroken for Mayor Killpatrick because I truly believe that he had promise to become great. Many do not understand that in 2000, before any of this drama, for a lot of young African Americans in the city he was our "hope", our "change", symbolically speaking he was our Barack Obama. And, while I have no misconceptions that Mayor Killpatrick is without wrong doings or that he is purely an innocent victim whose criminal actions should not have consequences, though I am aware of all of the facts, today I feel that we must be sad. Today another black man unfortunately succumbed to the stereotypical profile the media created for him long before he had the chance to prove himself. He was, in my opinion, a shining hope for what could have been the future for young, black, hip hop, politically aware African Americans. And now he is an example of what we shouldn't do. It's a sad day in Detroit history. A sad day in hip hop history. And, perhaps, the saddest for Black History nationwide.
yea, it was the media's fault....TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS!!!!
I have to laugh at the double standard here.
People have accused Obama of being a Muslim, not a native born American, said he is a drug user, a drug dealer, and called him "uppity and an elitist."
So what does Obama do? He holds his head high and steps forward. He does his job and he never whines or complains.
Meanwhile, if you question McCandy's tenure as mayor and governor, her policy positions and her peculiar family details, you're being unfair and "sexist."
Hey McCandy, if you can't stand the heat, get the fuck out of the kitchen. You have a special needs child that needs a full-time mother. Go home and live by the same rules you expect of everyone else, you damned hypocrite.
The more I see her the more she reminds me of "Tootsie", a strong, opinionated woman brought in to shake up a soap opera, but with a big secret. We know what Dustin Hoffman was hiding...I wonder what skeletons we are going to find
Here is a Freudian slip you can believe in. Courtesy of Tom Ridge.
TOM BROKAW: "But the fact is, governor, that you have had eight years of a bush administration and a lot of Republicans in Congress for the last eight years, so why wouldn't the American people say, look they had their shot we're going to change?"
TOM RIDGE: "Because John Bush - because John McCain is very much his own man..."
Hear that? John BUSH ...FOUR MORE YEARS!
Sarah Palin is nothing more than the white female version of Kwame.
They just got rid of Kwame in Detroit, but now people want to put someone like him in the White House.
Now that's a laugh.
"her peculiar family details" WTF chris that's called being straight....lol not a difficult concept for most of us!!!!
julie-"female version of Kwame" that doesn't even make any cents...lol she lied about stealing dirtort blind????
Kwame Dug his own grave. Wrong is wrong!
AA know they can't get away with the same BS "other" folks do.
You will be scrutinized 10x's more than others.

"P.S. Am I the only one who noticed her son is deploying to Iraq on 9/11 -- who did they have to pay off to make that happen?"
Oh yeah... and what hotel bunk will he be staying at in Iraq? These people are so bogus, it's sick.
Field, did you pick up on how McCane-stick is now trying to make a dual off with Russia? He's playing GI Joe and battle ship with human life. Yet another war in the making if people elect this war mongering Bush III.
Christopher, I'm annoyed by all the sexist comments I'm hearing all over, but I also see the double standard as well. It's designed this way, Mc and the other Repukes are actually exploiting sexism as a bargaining gun. This annoys me as a female. But I'm equally annoyed with all those extremist fem groups because they encouraged this from the start. Some of them can't even see the trap. They won't stop, they'll even give up the rights to their own wombs just to see any old cult prone baby pushing woman in power.
Field, notice how Adam was trying to make you back off the non-beauty queen. You also give equal attention to Hill, but now somehow you either have a crush on Palin, or you're sexist. Can't win, can you?.
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0908/13143.html
What are all those people going to do w/ all that Obama paraphernalia after the loss? lol
Hilarious post/comment from Washington Post:
woody2471 sneered that "You've got to hand it to the Repugs. Once again, they have managed to up the Jerry Springer quotient of the national debate: 'I'll see your pants-suit yuppie mom and self-made, educated black man, and raise you a white-trash, party hack mom from nowhere.' "
^^ LOL ^^
Field,
Your mention of Condi has got me wondering....Where has she been?
It seems she has been maintaining a low profile these days. Cheney too.
In fact, has any member of the George W. Bush's cabinent been present at the RNC? How about George Bush (41) and Barbara?
Karl Rove, of course, does not count because he is on Fox's payroll now.
That Library Ban would have been one of the greatest political feats in the entire country.....Mary Ellen Baker probably never fully recovered from The Wrath of Palin.
Many years ago, I was a poor scholarship kid. That meant a free ride at any college or university in the US or abroad. It also meant that the next poorest student was the only child of tenured public school teachers.
Then, Ronnie Raygun pulled the funding as poor kids should never be able to out-compete the BushSlut Twins.
Anywho, the reasons could have been financial. For many girls, add in the love of magic mystery penis and the great Jose Cuervo.
Mold
Looks like she committed a crime during her two major public appearances. Surely, if she is ready to be CIC, she should have known about this; I KNOW Mr. Morton knows better.
Either she is stupid and has no common sense, or is just pandering (my vote is for the latter). Don't these dumbasses remember the big hoopla over Prince Henry?
Ok, enough of the mud-slinging! I know, it's fun to make fun of one who is just too easy to make fun of....but here is a site for those of you would like the facts! I intend to print this out and argue with FACTS rather than just my opinion of this disaster. I am sick to death of people around me repeating her lies, so I will have the FACTS to hit back with. I encourage all of you to learn facts to hit back with. Your opinion butting up against their opinion does nothing but waste a lot of hot air!

Congrats on your Black Weblog Award.
I just finished reading some National Enquirer (I know, I know, but they were dead-on with John Edwards' affair...) report where Palin was supposedly involved in an affair with her husband's business partner??? Which force McCain & Co. to threaten to sue the gossip magazine. Not too mention how the former business partner rushed to have his divorce papers sealed.....
Sarah Palin doesn't play, does she?
Just when I thought I could take another vacation from blogging politics... WHAM... here comes Palin and I'm busy again. hehe
There is more true garbage in Palin's background than the media could make up regarding Obama. The truth emerging about Palin is far more strange than the fiction about Obama.
As always, I'm enjoying your commentary with a smile.

sfd928: thanks for the link.
I hope the Obama camp plans to mine the swipe by Giuliani and Palin at community organizers. These people are sneering at all of us who have spent hours upon hours of unpaid time to increase lighting in our neighborhoods, to get speed bumps to slow down traffic, sue landlords to clean up nuisance properties, build networks of residents and merchants to share information about everything from garbage pickup to fighting back against crime. We've spent hours developing policy on crime, drafting issues, doing research.
You want something done in your city? Go to the community organizers because we know how to work the system better than anyone.
Seriously, to hell with trailer trash like Palin and Giuliani.
What the fuck do "those" people want anyway? They scold and insult us for not cleaining up our neighborhoods then they denigrate and mock the work we do.
Rudy Giuliani is a degenerate who has ruthlessly used 9-11 to build a personal fortune. This is the sleazy bastard who moved in with another woman while mayor and while still living with his wife. And thought the American people whould elect his DUMB ass as president. This is the man who after the first bombing of the twin towers decided the best place for central emergency communications was the twin towers. This is the moron who is DESPISED by firefighters in NYC. This is an arrogant son of a bitch who isn't good enough to breath the same air I do.
Damn westcoast speak truth to power!
And nyc/caribbean ragazza I was one of those folks who sent a small piece of that $10 million. The Palin pick may motivate the Repub base but conversely it raises the stakes for the rest of us. And sense I'm a put up or shut up kind of a gal I had to send the money!
The bottom line is that the Repub convention floor said it all--no blacks, latinos, natives, asians and barely anyone under the age of 50--no disrespect to my elders of course.
This country is more than small town middle America and I get the sense that alot of people are tired of the Repub game of pitting people against one another.
It's not gonna be easy and may even be a squeaker, but it's gonna happen so practice your "President Obama"!

At the GOPOW convention last night McCain says of people who have lost jobs, "We will prepare them for the jobs of today. We will use our community colleges to help train people for new opportunities in their communities."
Hmm...who's going to organize them?
They didn't want Condi anywhere around because:
1) She is a woman of substance, gravitas and accomplishment who would show Gidget up for who she really is (I ain't no Condi fan, but you got to give the girl credit -- and she wasn't even considered)
2) Too much of a reminder of the Bush administration (as of last night, the Repubs want "change" now, remember?)
and 3).....what was it again? Oh yeah, she's, you know, she's...ummmm...not a hockey mom......
I'm a son of a community organizer. I know very well the importance of their role.
Check the irony, they still call Obama the elitist.
One side wears $500 shoes, $300k outfits and laughs at "community organizers" for the work that they do. The other side, however equally educated, decide to take much less money and spend time helping poorer neighborhoods organize and develop from within.
Elitist? Yeah right.
4) It's because she is black and in a powerful position. She is also not seen as a angry militant black woman but as a highly educated black woman under the Bush Admin. If whitey looks at her long enough then they might think it's ok to vote for a black man or think differently about Michelle. Remember people still love the hell out of Bush.
BTW Field, the count was 36 blacks out of 2380 delegates.
Not good.
damm, were did McCain find this black chick name Sarah... kid is knock up, older son is going off to war, she can shoot guns, stands up for her self, dont take no mess, damm girl and she got some junk in the trunk
p.s. Field I'm coming to Philly on my great America ghetto tour

Hillary Clinton should be pressed into service to handle Sarah "Hockey Mom" Palin, the pugnacious lipstick-wearing bulldog, ex-beauty queen, moose-killing, gun-toting, out-of-the-blue, half-ass vetted, GOP veep pick.
Wanna bet on who'll win in a one-on-one scrap.
My money's on Hillary.
now you all up on hillary's ass? remember the obots called her a racist. like the good little white girl she is to now go suck some dick for down low obambi after he treated her like shit. whatever.
field, you said
"Paul, I heard about the "uppity negra" comment. But why are you surprised? I have been telling you that this is what these folks think of your boy all along."
just for the record, I'm not surprised about that he was thinking it. I, too, have been saying that all this "exotic", "celebrity", "arrogant", "presumptuous", "elitist" nonsense was code for uppity. I'm just surprised he said it out loud. oops.
And now he's trying to say he had never heard the word used in a racial way before. Riiiight, in georgia?
Does Neilsen lie about their fucking ratings? They're saying McCain got over a million more watchers than Obama. That shit cannot be true.
"p.s. Field I'm coming to Philly on my great America ghetto tour"
If you live anywhere in A-merry-ca you are already in a ghetto.
rottnkid, great point about who is going to oragnize these volunteers that Mr. Morton keeps talking about.
"and 3).....what was it again? Oh yeah, she's, you know, she's...ummmm...not a hockey mom......"
Now that was funny :)
Thanks don, and this will sound corny: but whenever I win one of these awards, it's a reflection of all the folks who comment here. That's because the first thing people always say to me when they talk about the blog is: "damn you have some great comments on your site". I know one white reporter from a very pominent daily newspaper, who told me personaly that he uses the comments here to get an idea of what's really going on in the black community. And you know what? I can't say I blame him.
So thanks again people!!!!!!
I have mad love for all of you
Anon...5:25...I wouldn't be surprised. They probably thought they were watching an episode of the Simpsons:

BREAKING SHIT YA'LL.....
“So Sambo beat the bitch!”
This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin described Barack Obama’s win over Hillary Clinton to political colleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up the Democratic Party presidential nomination.
According to Lucille, the waitress serving her table at the time and who asked that her last name not be used, Gov. Palin was eating lunch with five or six people when the subject of the Democrat’s primary battle came up. The governor, seemingly not caring that people at nearby tables would likely hear her, uttered the slur and then laughed loudly as her meal mates joined in appreciatively.
“It was kind of disgusting,” Lucille, who is part Aboriginal, said in a phone interview after admitting that she is frightened of being discovered telling folks in the “lower 48” about life near the North Pole.
Then, almost with a sigh, she added, “But that’s just Alaska.”
Racial and ethnic slurs may be “just Alaska” and, clearly, they are common, everyday chatter for Palin.

Damn swiff! But crickets from the MSM.

CONGRATS FIELD!!! Your blog is the best black blog that covers our issues hands down! I've disagreed with you twice but I most always cosign with ya. Good work! Keep writing and PLEASE continue to help me realize that I am not insane lol. Sometimes I wonder if I have gone mad and then I read your blog and realize things will be alright ;)
Besides, we share the same heritage. It's always good to see fellow West Indian peeps doing it big!
I agree we need to get back to the issues of this campagin. As much as it is ah "interesting" to talk about Palin gossip I am starting to believe that she is a smoke screen for something deeper. If people don't wake up it will take alot more than community organizaing to get America back on its feet.
As educated American voters we have to think and not react out of emotions. Only a politically ignorant person would believe that after three decades in Washington that all of a sudden Mc Cain is now some how an outsider and a reformer of government. Why now? Why this run for the presidency? Why didn't he run as a CHANGE or REFORM candidate in his last two bouts for the White House? Mc Cain has high jack Obama's message REFORM/CHANGE as his own. If Obama wouldn't have expressed the effective and much needed message of CHANGE, Mc Cain wouldn’t be running as a REFORM candidate. Have anyone notice that REFORM is another word for CHANGE. Please people lets wake up. Like the great O'Reilly always says, "Don’t be a Kool-Aid drinker". So the heck with the "talking points" and lets start using some "thinking points". The only time he's been a MAVERICK/REFORMER is against social conservative issues. This is why conservatives have always been uneasy with McCain. He has consistently over three decades attempted to CHANGE/REFORM the face of Regan Conservatism. He has never been a MAVERICK/REFORMER against policies that are out of touch with everyday Americans. The Mc Cain camp has jumped on the Obama bandwagon of CAHNGE and attempting to claim it as theirs. This is a great political strategy (TRICK). Lets be good Americans, not easily fooled Americans. Now If Palin was at the top of the ticket and Mc Cain at the bottom with Palin initiating the REFORM/CHANGE message then maybe they could "break some china".
I know one white reporter from a very pominent daily newspaper, who told me personaly that he uses the comments here to get an idea of what's really going on in the black community. And you know what? I can't say I blame him.
Me neither. I think your blog is political heaven, as far as your blog post and comment section. Everything (in-depth) about a particular subject can be found on this page, it seems. Debates, humor, intelligence, POVs, history, links, everything...
That heifer is crosseyed too. That's why her viewed are so screwed up.

If you support Obama, then you support Innocent Killings! I must comment on the War, Obama and Biden are against it, so they bicker about 4000 ADULT Soldiers that have died for Freedom, killing Terrorists, who hate us(Americans) in the last 5 years. These soldiers on their own accord signed up to make the World a better place and prayers go out to each soldier and their families, God Bless. On the other hand Obama and Biden have no compassion for the 1,210,000 plus INNOCENT lives that were destroyed just last year in 2007, that is over ONE MILLION BABIES THAT WERE ABORTED JUST IN THE U.S. LAST YEAR! Do you see what I'm getting at! You do the math! Oh Yeah, that's above Obama's pay grade...I'll do it for him, TOTAL- 5,000,000 of God's children destroyed in the last 5 years, forgive us Lord! It's McCain/Palin (08) for me. These Innocent babies need someone to speak for them! God Bless America! Reverse Roe vs Wade!
