Friday Open Thread
His guest was Jil Stanek.
She's scheduled to appear on CNN today to discuss Barack's stance
on Infantcide in response to the exchange that occured between Donna Brazile and Bill Bennett. This woman is also planning a 527 ad.
I bring this women up, b/c I see the new push being Roe V. Wade. Even supporters of Hillz should know that Barack fully supports Womens Rights.
She actually had the nerve to tie Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama, and the Hospital she worked at all together in regards to Barack's stance on Babies born after aboriton.
When asked by Bill Bennett, what was Father Pfleger's (TRYING TO USE AND PLAY THE CATHOLICS AGAINST ABORTION CARD) stance she had no idea.
At the end of this interview, it prompted Bill Bennett to say. " And he wants to be President. Not of my country"
I really wish the fairness doctrine passes. We need LEFT representaion down here in TEXAS bad!

I'm so glad that Wesley Clark addressed the notion of how being a POW makes you a better Commander-in-Chief?
Finally.

Nice! Got to get use to it! Not real sure what I'm doing right now! lol
Someone needs to tell Bill Clinton, "Dude, it's not about YOU!"
I really wish Obama would say, "Kiss YOUR ass?"
"No."
"How about YOU pay YOUR own debt!"
P.S. Great new site :)

And speaking of silly:
The World's Fastest Man is Homosexual!
I thought that was silly as well. I don't want to hear of another reject or denounce from the Obama campaign. I really don't.
It is dissapointing to see this simple media, that is dumbing down most Americans. It is sad that Gen Clark in making a simple reasonable statement is being used to make HEADLINE news.

And, Now just imagine Blogger was the FEC
Pro-Hillary supporters are not welcomed at Goggle's blogspot. At least 7 blogs were locked-out the other day.
While I do think that Clark's point about McCain not having any real EXECUTIVE military experience was valid, I think that he went to far in the soundbyte department. That "..getting shot down" line compeletely overtook his point about mccain's experience and Obama had to distance himself.
What's sad is this whole stupid thing about Clark completely overshadwoed what I think was a great speech by Obama today. Many on the netroots are too busy "dissing" Obama to realize what a great speech it was. If not for this whole Clark/McCain hoopla, the speech would have been more well receieved on it's own merits. Now it will only be analyzed based on its inference to "POW -gate"

I've got a video for you. If anyone tells you that racism hasn't been in the coverage of Obama's run, have them take a look at this. I'm sure many here will agree with Harriet "Christian" that 99% of us black folk are all backing Obama solely because he is black.

Pass it on so more people can be aware of this bullshit.
National Black Republican Association
Look for the “Radio Ads” section, about a ¼ of the way down.
NBRA Martin Luther King Was A Republican (six ads)
Black Republicans already have a bad image in the minds of black voters; consider this.
I think a lot of black voters will come to think that black Republicans are doing the GOP's "dirty work" by running these negative attack ads. This will not help black Republicans' reputation among African Americans, but rather, damage it.
Well, right now, many black folks think of black Republicans as being "wrong" on the issues.
These attack ads present black Republicans as not just "wrong" but "bad." They're now going beyond having unwelcome positions, to now using unwelcome campaign tactics.
I think that could generate more ill will against the black GOP, especially for the part of the black electorate that is becoming sensitized to the attacks on Barack and also Michelle Obama.
Meanwhile, the existence of the GOP Southern Strategy to appeal to white racist ex-Dixiecrats is a fact that was acknowledged by no less than Ken Mehlman - see http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/18/washington/18...
I am familiar with the NBRA. The cling a lot to the black Republican past, which is understandable, because they seem to have little going for them in the present...
It is all well and good for them to attack Obama, but I would think they want to be known for more than just being the GOP's black hatchet men. (One ad states "Obama is an arrogant elitist who turned his back on poor blacks and his own country." Yes, that is hatchet-ry.)
But then, my thinking on what black Republicans want to be known for could be wrong. Perhaps in the end, these ads are pretty much what they're about, no more, no less.
Okay...enough of that from me now.
Um, where the black people at?
There's an election that needs to be won.
Obama is not getting any money from me this month-- Father's Day, FISA, denouncing and rejecting Clark, liking the handgun decision, wanting to expand the death penalty to include child rape, have all been giant disappointments to me. I know the conventional wisdom says that Democrats have to run to the center, but every time we do that we lose.
He put himself in this position of having to please his most ardent supporters, many of whom are liberal, in order to get campaign dollars. When he disappoints us, we don't give. I have a feeling his June numbers are going to be way down.
