Who is really being divisive?

When it comes to politrick-sters, I have to be honest, I don't respect too many of them. Most of them are lying phonies, who care more about staying in power than looking out for the interests of the people that they are supposed to be serving. Most of them. Of course there are exceptions.

Take my man John Lewis (D-Georgia) for instance. My man is a true civil rights icon, who speaks with a speech impediment to this day, because he got his ass kicked by racist mobs during the height of the civil rights struggle.

Lewis is a true field Negro, and is a man who I have the utmost respect for. And now, as if I didn't respect him enough, he went and made this statement today, calling out Mr. Morton and his beauty queen, sidekick (who by the way, got her ass booed at the Flyers game in Philly today) for their despicable and ignoble behavior during the last days of their campaign. I know that desperate times sometimes call for desperate measures, but this is ridiculous.

Playing "dog whistle" politics, and playing on the fears of others to win an election in this manner, has got to be a new low in A-merry-can poli-tricks. Notice I said a "new low", because A-merry-can politics has gone down this low road before. But it worked, and repukelicans will keep going to this well until it is dry. It is all they have left.

Of course Mr. Morton's camp is disappointed that Mr. Lewis would say these bad things about them. After all, it's the democrats and not republicans who are injecting race into this campaign.

"The Arizona senator said Lewis statement 'represent a character attack against Governor Sarah Palin and me that is shocking and beyond the pale.'
He said Lewis' comparison between criticism of Obama's record and Wallace's segregationist policies 'unacceptable and has no place in this campaign.'
McCain called on Obama "to immediately and personally repudiate these outrageous and divisive comments that are so clearly designed to shut down debate 24 days before the election"

Why should he? And please O man do not throw John Lewis under the bus like the rest of your former friends. He is right. And for John McCain to accuse John Lewis of being "divisive" --a man he praised as one of his heroes in a previous debate --is like Pamela Anderson calling someone else a slut.

Divisive? A man who spent most of his life trying to being people together by fighting for civil rights in this country? Wow! Talk about hubris, these rethugs have plenty of it.

"What I am seeing reminds me too much of another destructive period in American history....
George Wallace never threw a bomb, he never fired a gun, but he created the climate and the conditions that encouraged vicious attacks against innocent Americans who were simply trying to exercise their constitutional rights. "Because of this atmosphere of hate, four little girls were killed on Sunday morning when a church was bombed in Birmingham, Alabama."

Welcome to the new A-merry-ca Mr. Lewis. I am just sorry that you have to live through this crap again.

CROWD PLEASER.

"KILL HIM"! "TRAITOR","TERRORIST"!, "TREASON", "....HUSSEIN OBAMA", "BOOOOO".

If you have been attending events for a certain political candidate over the past few days, the cries and shouts quoted above are what you were most likely to hear. The mood from the "patriotic" right has been a combination of both grim and angry ( Mr. Morton's wife has even accused her husband's opponent of putting her son in harms way). They cannot believe that this "exotic" unpatriotic, terrorist sympathizer could actually become their president. But the clock is running out, and from all appearances their guy is down by a couple of touchdowns. Not good.

Now, I have to confess, I am not all that patriotic (I know field, you are a "world citizen." Why don't you take your ganga smoking ass back to Jamaica, mon?). If I see two human beings drowning and I can only save one, I sure as hell won't ask to see his or her passport before I jump in. So you know where I stand on that issue. And because of my position on issues of patriotism, I tend to be less sympathetic to these rants about his O ness not being patriotic than the next guy. Honestly, the entire debate is kind of silly. And I tend to view people who waive flags or bibles too much with a cynical mistrustful eye. These are the same assholes who used to gather for social events centered around strange fruits hanging from trees back in the day. And I honestly don't think that they have changed much. The O man just brought out their inner hate.

So why is Mr. Morton doing this? Surely he must know that he is going to turn off independents with this latest campaign of anger and hate (Although, to his credit, Mr. Morton took some steps towards a higher road today). Someone should tell him that he is going to get the red neck anyone but the black man vote no matter what; and that reaching out to these people is pointless. He is just tarnishing his legacy and his reputation by allowing that crazy ass, empty headed, moose hunting fraud, to run wild at her modern day Klan rallies. Another side effect of all this anti Obama madness, is that he has fired up the O man's base, and first time voters have registered in record numbers to come out for his O ness. This is not good for Mr. Morton, and he had better hope for an early November snow storm here on the East Coast to keep these Negroes from coming out (You know we don't like the cold too much).

Today I was heading home and I saw a pretty large anti war crowd around city hall. In the crowd were quite a few enthusiastic young Obama supporters, who were passing out flyers and encouraging folks to come out for his O ness tomorrow.

"You going to the Obama rally tomorrow sir?"

"No, but I will be there in spirit."

"Are you going to vote in November?"

"Yes; are you?"

"Oh, you better believe it, this is the most important election of our lifetimes."

"How old are you," I asked him.

"Twenty four, sir."

"Don't worry, you are young. There will be quite a few more important elections in your future."

"Well, if we elect John McCain, I might not have a future sir."

The wisdom of youth.

The Slave Catcher.

I love blogging for quite a few reasons. It allows me to vent and share my personal views with like minded people, and even people who disagree with me. It allows me to meet and interact with all types of new and interesting people who I would not have otherwise had the pleasure of ever knowing or hearing from. And most of all, it allows me to stay on top of things thanks to the people who read my site, comment, and exchange their ideas and their thoughts with me and with each other.

Well tonight I was especially proud of my field family, because they hipped me to something (or someone) I might not have heard about were it not for them.

Here is the deal: Today at a McCain Palin rally, it appears that a gentleman of color, stood up and begged Mr. Morton to go after his O ness. Please please please he begged, "don't let them get away with this",or something to that effect. Here is the You Tube link. (Please read this post before you go to the link, because after you watch it you will be sick to your stomach, and you won't be able to come back to the site.) Now you all know that I have my regular house and field Negroes, and I like to honor the lawn jockeys among us from time to time, but, believe it or not, I don't like to just label fellow Negroes without knowing a little about them or their history.

But this latest brotha....this sick, self hating, demented brotha, really has me wondering. He has taken this shit to a whole other level. This is beyond house Negro behavior, this shit is slave catching, plain and simple. You see a house Negro simply stayed in the house with massa, and he liked the house and everything in it. He would do everything to stay in the house, and would protect the house at all cost because he had a stake in it. It was where he lived, and it was where he found comfort. He would never speak against massa like the field Negroes, because he didn't want to risk losing all of that. But, even worse than the house Negro, was the slave catcher. This was the Negro who searched hardest to find us when we ran away. It was the slave catcher who the master would give the whip to tear into us when we stepped out of line. It was the slave catcher who ran right behind the blood hounds and in front of the master, when he thought one of us was hiding in the woods. It was the slave catcher who always did the master's most barbarous and sadistic deeds that even the master would not do. The slave catcher hated us even more than the master did. Who knows why? Maybe some sick demented shit in his past, maybe some psychological sickness that prevented him from wanting to be a part of something he has no control over. Or, a sick desire to be accepted by only those who didn't look like he does. Only the slave catcher and his shrink knows for sure.

This brotha (I wish I knew his name), is a slave catcher. Not a house Negro, not a Tom, not an Oreo; none of that. That would be too simplistic and trivial. No, this shit was much deeper than that. This brotha was wallowing in self hatred. The more those kla....I mean republicans cheered around him, the wetter his pants got. And when Mr. Morton hugged him, I actually thought I saw the guy close his eyes as if he had just experienced one incredible orgasm. I don't know, maybe he did. (Gee I guess it's true what they say about you black guys, they didn't have anything like this at the Hanoi Hilton....let me stop) And did you see the look on the faces of those people? It's as if that one black guy had given them their penance for all of their vile racist thoughts and actions.

"Thank you slave catcher, thank you. If you are one of them and you hate them, why can't we?"

If someone gets this brothas *name could you please pass it on to me? I have a bet with Mrs. Field that he is a struggling actor and just wanted to get his 15 minutes by any means necessary. Honestly, if it's just a hustle, and Mr. Morton's camp paid the guy, I would respect him more. At least he would have gotten paid for selling out like some of the other race pimps in modern day A-merry-ca. But somehow I doubt it. The slave catcher doesn't need pay. Just catching those runaway slaves is payment enough.

[*Thanks to the folks who comment here (Thanks "J") I have this clowns name. James Harris huh? Now if I can just get a nice pic. ]

Did you hear the one about the Klansman at the GOP rally?

This is a very good rant from Philly Daily News writer, Annette John Hall. It was so on point, that I thought I would share it with you field hands.

"Sarah Palin called it right.

With 28 days left until the presidential election, "the heels are on, the gloves are off."
While the other maverick-in-command (or not) was mixing it up in a town hall debate last night, Palin no doubt was touching up her lipstick, reloading for the smear ahead.

Continuing their own announced strategy of distraction, you know, to take our minds off the financial meltdown. Problem is, as much as we'd like to avoid the kitchen-table issues - like the bills piled up on ours - we can't.

Every day, I look at my 10th grader and wonder whether I can ever get the loan we'll need to send her to college. Even if I get it, I almost certainly will have to work longer to make up for the pension that's draining away each day. And let's not even talk about my biggest single investment: my home. What equity?

All issues that women commiserate about and stress about until it literally makes us sick - not that we can afford to get sick. You would think the woman on the ticket - the woman who supposedly understands working families, moms, the woman who governs a state and raises five kids, would be the one insisting on staying on message.

You would think.

Instead, the newly unmuzzled, self-proclaimed pit bull went on a rampage through Florida and left some of her adoring supporters rabid with hate. Barack Obama is different, downright dangerous, pals around with terrorists, she declared with a wink and a smile as she worked the crowd into a frenzy. Even wearing angelic white at one event - Our Lady of Perpetual Fear-Mongering.

'He doesn't see America like you and I see America.'
At one stop, she was even introduced by a uniformed police officer who referred to Obama by his full name - Barack Hussein Obama - emphasizing his middle name to suggest that he's less than American.

So the great new symbol of progress for women has come to this - being used by men to do their dirty work. And enjoying it."

More here.

Yep, Sarah's shindigs have been getting a little out of control lately. Memo to black people: If there is a Sarah Palin rally coming to a town near you, it might be a good time to go and visit the in laws. Just a thought.

"He doesn't see America like you and I see America."

Which is exactly why he might get my vote.

"That one"?

Did Mr. Morton refer to his O ness as "that one" in the middle of the debate? Yep, I think he did. CNN just played it again. Hey is that the same as "those people"? Just wondering out loud here.

Anyway, I was sitting here watching the debate and I had a few thoughts: First, the new president of these divided states is going to be a leftie. (Big up to us lefties) Also, I liked John McCain's tie better than the O mans. And who was the big crazy looking bald headed white guy sitting in the front row? I think he was trying to scare the O man or some shit. And is it me, or was that a cool bit of irony that a black man asked one of the first questions; forcing Mr. Morton to look a black man in the eye, since he refuses to look in the eyes of the one on stage with him? And what the hell is up with Tom Brokaw and that funny ass voice of his? I thought he retired already, why is he even back on the A-merry-can stage? Mr. Morton certainly took a shot at him; although I don't know why. It must be a continuation of the whole republicans against the main stream media thing.

But now for the serious stuff........oh wait, there really wasn't any serious stuff. Well, there were some serious questions, but there were no serious answers. (If Mr. Morton says "my friends" one more time I will scream.) Mr. Morton, of course, talked about his time in the Hotel Hanoi. Maybe not directly, but you just knew that he was riding that pony when he was doing it. And he tried to introduce a plan to help us out of this financial crises, but if you are like me, you didn't even pay attention to it. Mr. Morton's delivery is seriously fucked up.

His O ness had a couple of stumbles, too. Like when he threw his VP candidate under the bus by mentioning that Delaware is the state where credit card companies go to get out of following rules. Next time go with North or South Dakota, O man, no need to mention the state that your running mate is the senior senator from. Geez.

Still, this one goes to the O man by a landslide. Mr. Morton better start winning some of these bad boys soon, because he is running out of time. What Mr. Morton needs now is an international crisis, or a serious terrorist incident on our homeland. It is his only hope. If the economy continues to stay in the news he is more toast than a box of Strudles. But let me keep that on the hush, we don't want to give the republican cabal any ideas.

Oh well, you Obmaholics must be full of yourselves tonight. Your boy, once again, came out on top. I think he is still on stage with his lovely wife shaking hands. Poor Mr. Morton, I think he got out of Dodge after just a couple of shakes. I can't say I blame him, given his condition.....well, let me leave that alone. But hey, it was late, maybe he had tickets to a Dolly Parton show or something.

He got out of there faster than you can say Keating.

And was it me, or did he leave his O ness hanging on a handshake? Ah field leave that man alone. Those are war injuries, that man was tortured by enemy captors. Yes he was, and if there were any former North Vietnamese prison guards watching the debate tonight, I bet they were thinking that Mr. Morton finally got even with them. Because honestly, that performance he gave tonight tortured everyone that watched it.

"My friends, he wants to raise taxes.."

It's okay Mr. Morton, it's almost over.

Bumblebees, terrorists, scandals, and lies

**

If I started this post by saying that Lark Voorhies called me late last night and begged me to leave Mrs. Field and get with her, I think most of you would question the field. A lie can be obvious and not so obvious. Usually the lie that a politrickster tells is not too obvious; usually. But that isn't the case with the latest McCain strategy.

The beauty queen has been all over the campaign stump talking about how the O man has endeared himself to domestic terrorist, (**And just who the fuck is that brotha in the bumble bee shirt?), and how he launched his political career from the living room of a terrorist. An assertion, by the way, which happens to be false. And that's being kind. Let's keep it real, the trick is lying, plain and simple. But she is doing what she was told to do. What we are seeing from the beauty queen on the stump is a part of Mr. Morton's new strategy.

But I guess desperate times call for desperate measures. The McCain camp has decided to launch an all out assault on the character of his O ness, and they are not pulling punches. But I remember hearing somewhere that "people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones", and someone needs to tell that to Sarah and the old man. I mean we all know about the Keating 5 scandal, so I won't bore you with that. Let's just say that Mr. Morton has always been somewhat good at reaching across the aisle, even when it comes to doing crooked shit. But he has been good at other things too; so war hero or not, the guy is a typical politrickster, just like all the rest of his crooked money hungry buddies in Washington.

“Well, I was reading my copy of today’s New York Times and I was interested to read about Barack’s friends from Chicago,... Turns out one of Barack’s earliest supporters is a man who, according to The New York Times, and they are hardly ever wrong, was a domestic terrorist and part of a group that, quote, launched a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol. Wow. These are the same guys who think patriotism is paying higher taxes.”

First of all Sarah, had I been around when Mr. Ayers was doing his thing, I might have been blowing up shit too. All the injustice that was going on in this country? Sheeeet. How soon we forget. But I digress.

Apparently reading comprehension has never been Sarah's strong suit. Now I see why all the mediocre grades in school, and the deer in a headlight stare for the simplest of questions.

Now let us see exactly what that article says, shall we?

“A review of records of the schools project and interviews with a dozen people who know both men, suggest that Mr. Obama, 47, has played down his contacts with Mr. Ayers, 63. But the two men do not appear to have been close. Nor has Mr. Obama ever expressed sympathy for the radical views and actions of Mr. Ayers.”

Did you read that?"BUT THE TWO MEN DO NOT APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN CLOSE"

And no, Lark did not call the field last night. That, like Sarah's rantings on the campaign trail, was a flat out lie. But unlike Sarah's rants on the campaign trail, most of you knew that I was lying, we can't say the same about Sarah because no one would expect that someone running for such a lofty office would get up in front of thousands of people and just tell a flat out lie.

So most of the people listening believe her, because they want to believe. They want to believe that the skinny guy with a funny name is a secret Muslim. They want to believe that he does wish harm to A-merry-ca, and that he doesn't have that funny name by accident. He is too radical, too extreme for the rest of A-merry-cans, he does not have sound judgment---this from a lady who has a witch doctor pray over her fucking head---, and he is wrong for A-merry-ca [que in the applause and the "kill him" chant here].

I still can't get over that brotha with the bumble bee shirt. It's as if the McCain camp said: Tyrone, could you put on a really loud shirt please? We need the people to see you.........

God I love this country.

A new form of voter suppression.

So it's down to crunch time in these elections. His O ness is up in the polls, and he is making the field's nude run down Broad Street look more and more like a reality. But not so fast; the rethugs still have some tricks up their sleeves. They have launched a new negative assault on his O ness, and like the true idiots that they are, they have declared it to the world. The beauty queen is not backing down from her Obama is mixing with domestic terrorist rant, and if you listen to the republican television network, also known as FOX NEWS, there will be more of that to come.

And, as most of you may or may not know, Pistol-vania is a pivotal must win state for the dems, and a victory here for his O ness would pretty much guarantee that the kid's johnson will be flapping in the cool November air. Alright, sorry about that imagery folks, but you get the picture. So what are the rethugs doing? They are targeting black neighborhoods with crap like this. Yep, it's a whole new form of voter intimidation. Go to the polls come election day, and your entire past or any of your dirty little secrets might come back to haunt you. Head out to vote, and you might not make it home, because the police will be arresting your ass if they find anything on you. Of course, it's a lie! And fortunately the powers that be here in Philly are on to this shit. Usually, the racist stuff like this doesn't bother me. This is par for the course in modern day A-merry-ca. But when people with the right to vote are somehow tricked into not voting, that crap bothers me. I sure hope that the McCain camp isn't aware of this kind of crap, because if he is, it would not make him worthy of the office he is seeking.

"It seems to be clearly aimed at lower-income voters that might have had some problems in the past and clearly aimed at discouraging people from voting," said Zack Stalberg, who heads the political-watchdog group Committee of Seventy.
Stalberg said that he feared that there could be more fliers to come.
"I'm a little surprised it appeared this far before Election Day," he said. "It's another indication of how dirty this election might become."

Ya think? The only question now is if it will work. The O man has taken the high road from day one. McCain vowed that he would too. Well, now that we are in the fourth quarter, and the clock is running out, I think McCain has thrown his play book out the window. Now let's just see if the O man keeps his.

Obama the terrorist.

"ENGLEWOOD, Col., Oct 4 - Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin accused Democratic candidate Barack Obama on Saturday of 'palling around with terrorists,' in the latest sign the campaign is turning increasingly nasty.

The comment by Palin, whose running mate John McCain is vying against Obama for president in the November 4 election, was dismissed by the Obama campaign as 'gutter politics' and came shortly after the McCain campaign had already called the U.S. senator from Illinois a liar.

With polls showing McCain trailing Obama in many battleground states, including several won by Republicans in the 2004 election, Palin said 'There is a time when it's necessary to take the gloves off and that time is right now.'

Speaking at a fund-raiser in Englewood, Colorado, she launched an assault on Obama just days after both candidates urged Congress to set aside partisan politics to pass a $700 billion bad-debt securities package in a bid to free up frozen credit markets.

'Our opponent though is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough that he is palling around with terrorists who would target their own country,' Palin said of Obama, also calling him an embarrassment.

Palin cited a New York Times story on Saturday that examined Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers, a former member of the Vietnam-era militant Weather Underground organization who is now a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The Times concluded they were not close.

Obama spokesman Hari Sevugan said, 'Today, the McCain-Palin team took their discredited, dishonorable campaign one desperate step further, announcing that they were going to try 'turning a page on this financial crisis' and launching more personal attacks on Senator Obama.' 'Instead of offering solutions for working Americans and families struggling through a failing economy, they have offered more gutter politics and false attacks,' he said in a statement."

For those of you (especially the supporters of the terrorist) who think that I have been too hard on the beauty queen for the past few weeks, do you still believe that? Are you convinced now that girlfriend can get down in the "gutter" with the best of them?

As we hit the home stretch of the campaign season, it is nice to see that republicans have resorted to their true colors. I just wonder what took them so long. Now let's see if it works. I am sure the picture of O.J. morphing into the O man is coming soon.

Sarah in 2012.

**

"She then slammed Barack Obama calling him disqualified to be President of the United States, 'Some of his comments that he has made about the war that I think may — in my world– disqualifies someone from consideration as the next commander in chief.' Palin said, 'Some of his comments about Afghanistan and what we are doing there supposedly– just air raiding villages and killing civilians. That’s reckless. So I wanted to talk about things like that. So I guess I have to apologize about being a little annoyed, but that is also an indication of being outside that Washington elite and being outside the media elite also and just wanting to talk and just wanting to talk to Americans without the filter and let them know what we stand for.”

That was an article about the beauty queen, talking to the propaganda arm of her party, also known as FOX NEWS, about his O ness. She thinks he is disqualified from consideration for being commander in chief? Are you fucking kidding me? A woman who went to six colleges in six years? And a person who is so fucking dumb that she can't name one supreme court decision she disagrees with, or name a magazine that she likes to read? She is calling for someone to be disqualified for the post of commander in chief? But hey, at least she has a nice wink, and her calves do look nice in those heels, I guess that qualifies her for the post of Vice President. At least to quite a few of our fellow citizens, whose idea of an intellectual genius is Alex Trebek.

"I would have. But here, again, there have -- there have been so many changes in the conditions of our economy in just even these past weeks that there has been more and more revelation made aware now to Americans about the corruption and the greed on Wall Street.
We need to look back, even two years ago, and we need to be appreciative of John McCain's call for reform with Fannie Mae, with Freddie Mac, with the mortgage-lenders, too, who were starting to really kind of rear that head of abuse.

And the colleagues in the Senate weren't going to go there with him. So we have John McCain to thank for at least warning people. And we also have John McCain to thank for bringing in a bipartisan effort people to the table so that we can start putting politics aside, even putting a campaign aside, and just do what's right to fix this economic problem that we are in.
It is a crisis. It's a toxic mess, really, on Main Street that's affecting Wall Street. And now we have to be ever vigilant and also making sure that credit markets don't seize up. That's where the Main Streeters like me, that's where we would really feel the effects."

Huh? Come again Sarah? 69.9 million watched her say that shit on television, and we are not all in the streets demanding that she quits the race. We get what we deserve.

I heard a very well respected republican here in Philly say that if Obama wins, Sarah Palin will be the GOP front runner for president in 2012. In fact, he says that even if McCain wins, Sarah will be set up for a legitimate run for the presidency when President McCain decides not to run again. Can you imagine? The future of the republican party is Sarah freaking Palin.

"I do take issue with some of the principle there with that redistribution of wealth principle that seems to be espoused by you. But when you talk about Barack's plan to tax increase affecting only those making $250,000 a year or more, you're forgetting millions of small businesses that are going to fit into that category. So they're going to be the ones paying higher taxes thus resulting in fewer jobs being created and less productivity.

Now you said recently that higher taxes or asking for higher taxes or paying higher taxes is patriotic. In the middle class of America which is where Todd and I have been all of our lives, that's not patriotic. Patriotic is saying, government, you know, you're not always the solution. In fact, too often you're the problem so, government, lessen the tax burden and on our families and get out of the way and let the private sector and our families grow and thrive and prosper. An increased tax formula that Barack Obama is proposing in addition to nearly a trillion dollars in new spending that he's proposing is the backwards way of trying to grow our economy."

Did you say that government should "get out of the way and let the private sector prosper"? Good, I guess they don't need government's 700 billion dollars then. Damn this woman is stupid. "Millions of small business people give themselves a salary of $250,000.00"? Hmmm, I must be living in a different country. The problem is that more people might be living in your country than mine.

**Thanks for the pic ArtMaggot.

"What a fool believes, he sees..."

I am sitting here watching the debates from a place called...ready for this? "The Field House". How appropriate, because field Negro, Ifill, was all that tonight. She certainly acted as if-- to use a sports metaphor--, she was in her house.

Mrs. Field's three year old niece is visiting from Louisiana; and honest to god she could do a better job than Sarah Palin is doing as I write this post, tonight. Sorry, I can't sugar coat this, I am going out of my way and straining to find positives for the beauty queen, but I can't.

The beauty queen told Joe Biden that he wanted to "raise the white flag" in Iraq, but I wanted to raise the white flag for her ass. Maybe it's the trial lawyer in me. But I look for certain things when people are public speaking that other people don't. And tonight, Sarah broke all the rules: She was rushed, nervous, and her lines were all too rehearsed. Biden cried when talking about losing his family for crying out loud, and she jumped right back on her talking points without missing a beat. Talk about robotic. If there is one independent who was on the fence who will vote for Sarah after this debate, please drop a comment here in the fields; we need to hear from you. And please post a picture of yourself, because I am curious to see what a Martian looks like.

I was watching the debate on CNN, and the cameras cut to a split screen of a GOP watch party. If you have ever been to the "Linc" when the Eagles are blowing a fourth quarter lead, you will get an idea of what those GOP faithfuls looked like. It was, in a word, sad. They looked like a home town crowd watching their team get their ass kicked. It was that bad.

Okay, mercifully for Sarah, it's over. I am going to listen to the pundits now.....

Okay, listened to the pundits, and they are all saying that Sarah pretty much held her own. Over at FAKE NEWS they are having to pass out the wet wipes for all the men on the set. (Multiple orgasms will do that to you). With the exception of one or two of the talking heads (thank goodness for Rachel Madow), folks are calling it a push or slight edge to Sarah. Wow! Now I know I am out of the main stream.

They can say what they want though, tomorrow I will start my two a days at the gym (That au natural Broad Street run looks like it's on come election night). Because I know that my eyes and ears aren't lying to me, even if the pundits are.

Us against them.

A couple of recent stories have me really wondering about the A-merry-can political landscape, and the players on it. I mean the O man's campaign has done something to the A-merry-can state of mind that is kind of scary.

Consider this guy, for instance, he really really doesn't want the O man to win, and he has no problem telling the world about it. Hey, this is A-merry-ca, the guy can put what he wants to put on his own lawn. So his neighbors might need to get over it. (Oh field, what are you talking about? This guy is a racist and a bigot, did you actually read the sign? Yeah I read it, and besides the fact that he can't spell like moi, he seems to be your typical old Southern white guy, who won't vote for his O ness, just because. Why not let the guy show his true colors for the world to see? The more the rest of A-merry-ca knows what kind of person is on that side, maybe the more they will realize who their comrades in arms are.

"That's the Democratic Party. They're nothing but a bunch of cutthroats,...Like I always said, you show me an honest politician, I'll show you an honest thief."

I will agree with you there Mr. Lacasse, and as a Korean War veteran you have every right to speak your mind. You and John McCain are kindred spirits, I guess you are supporting a fellow veteran of foreign wars. We just can't have red blooded patriotic A-merry-cans supporting that skinny black guy with the funny name. That is just soooo una-merry-can.

Now the next story has to do with the conservative blogger who has to run around the shower to get wet, and her little smear on respected journalist, Gwen Ifill. Let me get this out of the way right now: Michelle Malkin cannot carry Gwen Ifill's jock strap. She is nothing but a partisan right wing hack, whose only claim to fame is flaming people who disagree with her political positions. Or, translated, people on the left. She sounds a lot like you field. Yes,but I don't pretend to be a journalist, and I am not jealous of real ones. (That would exclude everyone on FOX of course, because they are not real journalist).

So now the folks on the right are all in a tither, FOX NEWS is reporting that McCain's camp did not know that Ifill wrote a book about Obama, and now the rethugs want a different moderator for tomorrow nights' debate. Like who? Britt Hume? Poor Gwen, she tried to write a book about the new black politics in A-merry-ca, and she runs smack into the rethuglican smear machine. Even her fellow PBS colleague, Juan Williams, threw her under the bus.

"..I think Gwen has been a terrific journalist," he told Fox News.
But Williams admitted the appearances could cause difficulties.
"She spent a lot of time with Obama. She praises him in the book," he said. "The book's success [is] invested in Obama. … Suddenly everyone's going to be saying Gwen Ifill is somewhat biased against Gov. Palin...."

Gee, thanks brotha Juan, I am so glad you are there in the house with them, and not out here with us.

"My first syndicated column of the week, filed this afternoon, shines light on PBS anchor Gwen Ifill, who will moderate Thursday’s only vice presidential debate. Try as she might to deflect questions about her impartiality, her biases — and her conflict of interest — are clear. But don’t you dare breathe a word about any of this. You know what will happen if you do…
RACIST!"

No Michelle, not "RACIST", just dumb.
