#1 Correct me if I am wrong here but the Annie Oakley remark is a clear reference to Clinton's gender. In Canada this would be enough to pull Obama up in front of a Human Rights tribunal. Is it ok for Clinton to start comparing Obama to the sheriff in Blazing Saddles? I doubt it.

#2 The thing that offended me about BO's remarks was the use of the word "cling". Cling is something that you hold to that you should't - like a security blanket, or your mother's apron strings. Clinging to religion is old fashioned, and unless you're bitter, there's really no reason to go to church. Only bitter people cling to religion.

You know, like the way Obama clings to a hate-filled mentor and spiritual advisor.

#3 Um, I cling to my guns because of people like O.

#4 B.O. done clings to white hatred. So do liberals, hence he is ahead as democrap candidate for president. It's not rocket science.

#5 I'll say it again, these two clowns make Al Gore look very presidential.

No, it's not OK. Bart was a real man, and didn't spend 20 years attending a "let's get our hate on" church.

#7 Hilly being a gun-rights type is pretty hard to swallow. But so is a Chicago machine pol.

Most likely: both lying like dogs.

#8 It is pretty amusing for Hillary to accuse someone else of being 'elitist and divisive'.

#9 I can just about imagine sHrillary saying to Obamalamadingdong" "Yo! Clevon, 'sup nigga?"

#11 An exercise for anyone who would like a bit of fun. How many tactical rules did BHO use in that article from his Alinsky play book?

Alinski devised and proved thirteen tactical rules for use against opponents vastly superior in power and wealth ...

1. "Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.

2. Never go outside the experience of your people.

3. Wherever possible go outside of the experience of the enemy.

4. Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.

5. Ridicule is man's most potent weapon.

6. A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.

7. A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.

8. Keep the pressure on.

9. The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.

10. Major premise for tactics is development of operations that will maintain constant pressure upon the opposition.

11. If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside.

12. The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.

13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

The real action is in the enemy's reaction. The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength. Tactics, like life, require that you move with the action."
