Wisconsin Primary

[Harlan Huckleby]

To me, asshats are smug and holier-than-thou...and I put Kristol in that category.

I don't know about holier-than-thou, but I agree that Kristol is in a class all by himself when it comes to smugness. He has a sneer permanently painted on his face.

It comes from having to speak and write to people that are not particularly smart in comparison. Carlos Williams is a good example of an intellectual lightweight that says stoopid stuff around Bill Kristol louder than the smarter people that said the stoopid stuff first.

Carlos Williams as a political analyst is like one of those customers holding up the line at McDonalds demanding two fries and two fish sandwiches for three dollars:

"I'm sorry, sir. You may match any two for three dollars."

"Look at the sign! Two fries and two fish sandwiches for three dollars! Where's the manager?"

"(sigh) Bob! We've got another fry and fish problem out front!"

If you want a right-wing a$$hat you've got to go with Tucker Carlson. If I could trade him to the liberals for George Stephanopoulos I would.

You must mean Juan Williams. I don't think he is stupid. He has unique point of view sometimes.

The only pundit I ever thought was stupid is a local guy named Neil Heinen. Oh, twist my arm, guess I find Mona Charon to be robotic.

This disturbing photo of Barack Hussein Obama has just arrived over my transom.

OH MY GOD !!!

Inside joke. Juan hates it when I call him Carlos.

what side would he be fighting for in West Side Story?

The Wisconsin primary is over people. The cheeseheads have spoken so move this over to the FYI thread.

OH MY GOD !!!

Your transom wouldn't be directly connected to the Hillary campaign now, would it? They're denying involvement but, in view of the fact that two of her campaign workers were involved in circulating the Obama-the-camel-driver rumor, it's not far fetched that this photo's circulation has a similar origin. In the end, though, I'm sure it's nothing compared to what he'll face after the primaries.

you just want to attract Tex back to the forum.

He's a camel thief too!

Hoozier, it doesn't surprise me that a Clinton campaign worker would repost the picture. I don't see anything too dirty about it.

I really don't think that picture is much of a smear. He tried on traditional clothes while on a visit, big Whoop. I doubt Clinton campaign sees much advantage here.

I did hear that Republicans are starting-up about Obama's segregated church. Alan Colmes went ape-shit over this on his radio show last night, calling it racism. I want to talk about it some more, but not on an empty stomach, time for a healthy cheeseburger.

If Hillary comes out nice and bubbly tonight I'll be sick. If you're gonna be a bitch, be a bitch all the time. If you're shaking hands one night and the next day you're raving mad at the dude you come across as two-faced. Decide how you're going to run your campaign and stick with it.

She needs to bring the bitch tonight.

I think the reason the Obama people had a problem with it is that they feel there was an attempt to tie it in with the internet rumors that Obama is a Muslim. I'm inclined to think they overreacted thgough.

When a female candidate turns up the heat, she's a bitch. And then you demand that they be one dimensional!?

But assuming the Hillary campaign did distribute the photo, what reason would they have other than to smear him in some general anti-American vein? Touting Obama's multiculturalism?

[Harlan Huckleby]

On Alan Colmes' radio show, the issue of Obama belonging to a segregated church came up. Colmes made an angry speech saying this is race-card playing that the republicans will regret, and he explained that blacks had to form their own institutions because of white racism. Not the same as a white-only church, he said.

The historical reasons for minorities forming segregated institutions makes sense, but the question is, what about the future? Obama's theme is change, the future, unity, letting-go of the divisiveness of the past. Are we condemned to forever worship in segregated churches because of the slavery and racism of the past?

Obama is vulnerable to criticism on this issue, its not going to go away. Maybe not overt criticism, but many will be surprised and disapproving.

And I also think that Michele Obama's comment that she is proud of her country for the first time in her life further indicates an alienation from mainstream culture.
