| Democrat Fratricide: "Obama has poisoned this campaign and this country" |
| 2008-03-31 |
| Blogger "Coconut Lady" @ her site, "Liberal Rapture" h/t Instapundit Nothing here we conservatives didn't already know about, but the intensity of feeling here is remarkable--and I think she's got a good grasp of Obama's substantive flaws. . . . By lying overtly and covertly about who he is Obama has poisoned this campaign and this country. He has used his considerable talents as an orator to fool the chattering classes and the media. He has used skillful oratory to blur his questionable past, rewrite our recent history, and open another gash in the wound of race in America. He has taken the difficult issue of race and turned it into a Benetton commercial and wonders why Pennsylvania isn't buying it. He breathlessly compares his grandmother to the putrid Wright and wonders why his grand "speech" didn't take. He has taken the low road, while claiming the high one. He has lied about his intentions for the wars if elected. He has lied about his association with his church: Our Lady of Perpetual Resentment. He has plagiarized speeches, lied about both Clintons, lied about NAFTA, and run a dishonest, ruthless campaign. He has willfully associated with bigots, slumlords and terrorists to further his career. (Yes, William Ayres is a terrorist.) He has turned the idea of meritocracy on its head by elevating vagueness and self promotion to messianic heights. He has accomplished nothing of note in his public life and insults those who have. Finally, the clip below of the staged "woman fainting" at his revival meetings is seemingly minor but goes to the heart of the Obama ideology: Illusion over reality. He is a fraud. I loath his campaign for good reason. Voters in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Indiana, and North Carolina can drive a stake into the heart of the Obama campaign - or Republicans, Independents, and 25-40% of the Democrats can in November. Let me tell you: if Michigan and Florida had not been thrown overboard by Howard Dean and Donna Brazile - Obama would not matter. "God Damn, America!" is not going away. It is testimony to the willing irresponsibility of the media that Wright's bile was not shown to the nation earlier. If Wright had been known to us in January, Obama would be a footnote now. It was out there to be seen. It is only compliant, brain-dead, synchophants in the MSM that kept those tapes off the air for so long. With two candidates that cannot get a majority of the delegates we have a real monster on our hands. Obama has never been qualified for the Presidency. But staying in a church in which your pastor screams GOD DAMN AMERICA! from the pulpit disqualifies him forever. He is responsible for his actions. His action in this case was to make excuses. All the ass kissing by all the kings men - and women - (Olbermann, Dowd, Rich, and the rest) can't put Obama back together again. Independents are falling away like Greenland glaciers. Republicans will be energized. And half the Democratic party will be angry. Finally, when all is said and done - it is his lunatic supporters I fear most. We have gotten a small taste of that happy mob turning ugly this week. Imagine what they'd do with a President Obama (lol) stranded between his own rhetoric and reality. |

| #5 Wait till she starts feeling betrayed by Hilary. It will be a doozie, too. Then she can start feeling as we do, heh. |

| #4 good screed - but it seems she wants to vote for Hillary - the lying thug who thinks not only the working class is stupid but also knows how easy it is to manipulate the Harvard/Yale/Columbia set? . . . she can't stand the lunatic Obama supporters but wants the Clinton outfit back in office . . . There's an equally scathing critique of Hillary to be made, but she hasn't yet caught on to that. Give her time. A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step. |

| #3 Yup, she can't stand the lunatic Obama supporters but wants the Clinton outfit back in office. I think that's called 'cognitive dissonance'. |

| #2 "Independents are falling away like Greenland glaciers. Republicans will be energized. And half the Democratic party will be angry." What's the downside? (Other than her Gerbil Wormening glacier remark - but ya' can't have everything.) |

| #1 good screed - but it seems she wants to vote for Hillary - the lying thug who thinks not only the working class is stupid but also knows how easy it is to manipulate the Harvard/Yale/Columbia set? I'll be impressed when she realizes that her Democratic party has felt her a fool and a tool for as long as she has been alive. |
