It's so weird watching Democrats treat other Democrats the way Republicans usually treat Democrats. The Obama supporters have the biggest sense of entitlement I've ever witnessed. It's not only that they are willing to write off two states, they're willing to write off entire demographics. How does McPeak think this comment is going to play with people over 50? Women over 50!!!! One of the Democrats most reliable demographics and Obama doesn't care.

It's like this weird fantasy that only people under 40 need to vote and they are going to magically capture the White House, do away with partisanship and end the war - probably for all time.

Well, you know what they say - old age and treachery can outwit youth and energy. Let's hope that particular law of the universe holds.

I always challenge my university students to prove me wrong but I tell them, hey, the politicians don't listen to you because you don't vote. Vote in sufficient numbers and they'll pay attention to you. Otherwise these older folks will just keep sending you off to war in far-away lands without asking your opinion.

While I do think Obama has activated some young voters this election cycle, there actually aren't enough of them to swing an election to any candidate and, sadly, they won't show up in November, you can pretty much put that in the bank.

Basement Angel said "The Obama supporters have the biggest sense of entitlement I’ve ever witnessed."

Someone sound the alarms!

Basement Angel used the word "entitlement" along with "Obama"!

Sacre Bleu!

I call on the Clinton campaign to renounce and reject Basement Angel, and if they don't, then they are obviously playing the race card. I can't see how Clinton strategists didn't know that Basement Angel would say this. This has to come from the very top of the campaign. It's an orchestrated event!

Goodnight and God Bless - Keith Obamamann

My God, this manufactured story (i.e. lie!) is the top story at the CBS News site. If you read the story, it's completely from Obama's POV, only taking his word, when Bill Clinton was strictly talking about his wife and McCain.

Unbelievable!

Even the National Review is correcting the non-story:

The AP is reporting that Hillary Clinton is trying to clarify comments by her husband that “seemed to question” Barack Obama’s patriotism and that an Obama aide likened to Joseph McCarthy. Nonsense.

In no way did I interpret Clinton’s remarks as questioning Obama’s patriotism. Clinton was making the case for his wife’s electability against McCain, who last time I checked is the presumptive Republican nominee and her challenger should she win the Democratic nomination. He may have intentionally bypassed Obama in his leap to match Hillary against McCain, but he didn’t say anything that could be construed as questioning Obama’s patriotism. The sequence went as follows: He noted that Hillary polls ahead of McCain in Ohio and Florida and also that McCain leads “Hillary’s opponent” (I quit typing here and don’t recall exactly which states he mentioned in that part of his comment.) His point, obviously, was that Hillary should be the nominee and, in that case, she and McCain would face each other in the final contest.

Basically at this point, anything remotely positive said on behalf of Sen. Clinton is an attack against Obama. Meanwhile, no one has yet held Obama accountable for Wright's personal attack upon the Clintons or for Z calling Sen. Clinton "Mamie Eisenhower." Huh.

Fuck them.

[x] Any (D) in the general. [ ] Any mullah-sucking billionaire-teabagging torture-loving pus-encrusted spawn of Cthulhu, bless his (R) heart.

It has long been a rule at GOS that any comment that praises Hillary is an attack on Obama, but I didn't think it applied to Hillary and the Big Dawg.

Before long people will be getting attacked for not cheering loud enough for His Oliness

when he smeared Bill Clinton with this crap. (Via MyDD)

Stay classy
