oh good! another rev wright thread.

alert riffy!

Hillary will come waddling across the stage now to accept her nomination. This is the worst meltdown in US politics since Perot in 1992.

Best Obama Ever.

obama is a lyre!

"  It is Rev Wright that is a man of honor and continues to speak the truth as he believes it to be. As long as that truth helped Obama win 90% + of the black vote across America he had no problem with the Rev Wright attacking anyone he cared to.

For twenty years he has sat at the feet of Rev Wright thus long ago understood the fundamental ideals of black liberation theology or he is a fool. For my money he is not a .............. "





Bump for the pee pee

INDIO, Calif. (AP) -- Have you seen this pig? It's huge, inflatable, features the word "Obama" and it has lost its way in the California desert.

Organizers for the Coachella music festival announced that the gigantic blowup swine, released into the night sky during Roger Waters' headlining set Sunday, was still out there - and they want it back.

The festival is offering a $10,000 reward plus four Coachella tickets for life for the safe return of the pig, according to spokeswoman Marcee Rondan.

As tall as a two-story house and as wide as two school buses, the pig was led from lines held on the ground Sunday as Waters played a version of Pink Floyd's "Pigs" from the 1977 album "Animals." Then it just floated away.

"It wasn't really supposed to happen that way. I don't have the details," Rondan told The Associated Press.

As for safety concerns, Rondan speculated, "Because it's inflatable, as it loses air it becomes less and less dangerous."

She did not know how much it weighed.

As of Tuesday, Rondan said, the festival had not been able to contact Waters, the Pink Floyd co-founder and songwriting mastermind behind albums such as "Animals" and "The Dark Side of the Moon."

The pig displays the words "Don't be led to the slaughter" and a cartoon of Uncle Sam holding two bloody cleavers. The other side reads "Fear builds walls" and the underside reads "Obama" with a checked ballot box for U.S. Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama.

Waters, who told the crowd "that's my pig" as it drifted off into the night, closed out the three-day festival.

Pink Floyd shows have used blowup pigs throughout the years. Rondan called Sunday's "the same prototype" as past pigs.

"People are putting search teams together to find this pig," Rondan said. "But it may float in the night sky, never to be seen again."

Not sure about that Riffy. I think Cankles will now get the nomination.

Good grief...did you see Obama's speech today?...He wanted to address the issue, but he couldn't...he just kept babbling about "we need to pull together"..."we need to get along"..."it's about the people"...well no shit Sherlock...can you say anything else?...ever?...damn...I bet this guy wears "hope and change" pajamas

He's purty good at speechifying, huh Feej? LOL! I have never seen such political expediency at play in all my life! This should prove to all liberals that Bush hatered doesn't mean that you can just pick a candidate without any prior vetting. This election should have been a slamdunk for the Dems, but once again, their complete ineptitude has sunk their hopes! I see some serious gnawing and gnashing of teeth from many liberals in the very near future. And their hatered will continue to fester for all to see.

Agreed about the plywood and nails scenario Riffy. However, I doubt it will come to that. As much as it boggles my mind, the "Rock Star" loving media were praising BO yesterday. All is forgiven now.  Superdelegates will now jump on the bandwagon. I say he gets the Dem nomination   and McCain will be POTUS.

LJ.

Every move that you see made in the media is an attempt to give us the biggest dose of Liberal shut-up ever foisted on the people.  The upshot of all the mudslinging is to create what was intended all along: a Clinton-Obama ticket, with Obama there to make you trust Clinton.  Twenty years of Clinton-Bush dynasty over the US and Central Asia.  Wait.

Yeah, I recall that, too, and I also recall saying that if he didn't integrate his Speech pronouncements into his campaign that it was going to come back and bite him in his narrow ass about two months later, and here it is.  New "real talk" about race swept under the rug, the ghost returns to haunt him.

I did not, however, expect the form of the ghost to be the conveniently buried Uncle.  I would have thought the Black Liberation Theology Roundtable puppeting this campaign would  have kept tighter reign on him than this, or that he would had the savvy to lay low until the all clear was sounded.  Talk about the hand biting the dog it feeds . . . or something . ..

Sadly savvy and canniness are not watchwords in the Obama campaign.  Alas.
