I Voted Today

[Kiwon]

Does anybody else have the sense that the Right in this country is growing increasingly hysterical during recent weeks?

No. I think you see what you want to see, but calling unease on all sides about the economy, savings, retirement, and the natural ramping up of rhetoric going into the final weeks of the election "hysteria" is a stretch.

Hysteria would be the Dems recount efforts to count hanging and pregnant chads in Florida in 2000.

As for the "supposed" comments at a rally, one of the last cards to be played by Obama and the media is the race card. But I'm sure the Obama campaign would never send in plants to create a story, now would they?

Hmmmm.....I wonder how many dollar bills and cigs it took for THE LEADER OF THE SENATE, Harry Reid, to declare that discussing corruption at Fannie Mae is racist because Franklin Raines is black and Obama is black.

In Obama, Harry Reid and hoosier's world only Caucasians can be racists.

When someone at a Kerry rally in 2004 voiced inappropriate or offensive language about Bush, Kerry would call them out on it. Is Palin scared to do so or is she encouraging this kind of behavior?

Ah, hoosier, check Obama's ipod....

Slap by Ludacris

[Chorus - 2X]

I know it's strange
But my brain's gone really insane
And I'm off the chain
Sipping on a fifth of the Golden Grain
I feel like slappin somebody today (slap slap)
Slappin a nigga today
I feel like slappin a nigga today (slap slap)
Slappin somebody today
Slappin somebody today

You got me, Kiwon, I have absolutely NO IDEA what you are alluding to here. What on earth does a rap lyric by Ludacris have to do with Obama? And what does any of this have to do with supporters yelling offensive remarks (racist or otherwise) about the opponent?

Every time someone accuses the Right of doing something illegitimate you seem to have this compulsion to throw it back in their face. As if offensive lyrics in a rap song justified or created a cosmic balance with what Palin's supporters have been documented as saying. And then there's the distinction between a black person calling another black "nigga" (appropriating a racist term to claim ownership over it) and a white person calling a black camera man "boy." You seem to be remarkably tone deaf, Kiwon.

Ludacris Releases Song Attacking Hillary Clinton

Ludacris, rapper and avid supporter of Barack Obama (Obama once claimed to have Ludacris in heavy rotation on his iPod) has released a new song called 'Politics: Obama Is Here' in which he attacks Hillary Clinton as an 'irrelevant bitch'.

Lyrics:

I'm back on it like I just signed my record deal
yeah the best is here, the Bentley Coup paint is dripping wet, it got sex appeal
never should have hated
you never should've doubted him
with a slot in the president's iPod Obama shattered 'em
Said I handled his biz and I'm one of his favorite rappers
Well give Luda a special pardon if I'm ever in the slammer
Better yet put him in office, make me your vice president
Hillary hated on you, so that bitch is irrelevant
Jesse talking slick and apologizing for what?
if you said it then you meant it how you want it have a gut!
and all you other politicians trying to hate on my man,
watch us win a majority vote in every state on my man
you can't stop what's bout to happen, we bout to make history
the first black president is destined and it's meant to be
the threats ain't fazing us, the nooses or the jokes
so get off your ass, black people, it's time to get out and vote!
paint the White House black and I'm sure that's got 'em terrified
McCain don't belong in ANY chair unless he's paralyzed Yeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped
Ball up all of his speeches and I throw em like candy wrap
cause what you talking I hear nothing even relevant
and you the worst of all 43 presidents
get out and vote or the end will be near
the world is ready for change because Obama is here!
cause Obama is here
The world is ready for change because Obama is here!
.................................................. ..........................

Obama himself never condemned Ludacris, his campaign spokesman (white guy) did.

Mr. fightthesmears.com Obama won't take on the hip-hop crowd and risk alienating his base. The moral outrage door only opens in one direction. Coward.

Moral relativism 101.

Oh, geez, thanks. Liberals are so screwed up.

hoosier, stay in the library, please. Don't venture into the real world.

McCain would never do anything like what you've described...

I actually saw McCain defend Obama last night. That was an interesting exchange.

[MJZiggy]

Didn't he get booed for it?

"Twice last week alone, speakers at McCain-Palin rallies have referred to Sen. Barack Obama, with unveiled scorn, as Barack Hussein Obama."

That's really uncalled for. How dare they speak his middle name. They should be using his appropriate name: "The Messiah"

Good thing the Washington Post straight news division has people trained in detecting unveiled scorn, or McCain and Palin would get away with this outrage.

He should do what anyone else would do with an unfortunate name - legally change it to Ocho Cinco.
