O-bots go psycho (Update)

O-bots are distributing a fake "official" ballot in NC. O-bots cobbled together a fake video clip with the word "nigger" inserted. And a new O-bot post at the Daily Cheeto bears this lovely title: “Senator Obama please take your foot and step on her throat!”

Republicans love Barry -- they're using Obama to slam down-ticket pols. Adolph Reed's spot-on take in The Progressive is a must-read.

UPDATE: Election fraud in Texas -- the story even Bradblog hasn't reported. Neither have I, to my discredit -- until now. This is a HUGE story.

Joe,
You are right!
Hillary has lost it!
Hillary: "I want to know...are you with us or against us?"
It was bad enough when she slightly changed Obama's "Yes we Can" to "Yes we will", Now she has stolen GWB's line intact!
That GIRL is got some BALLS on her!

The subject was psychosis. Case in post: Ms. Beeta's comment, above.

And if Barry the "sleaze" was so abominable back then, What in God's name is poor/smeared/misunderstood Hillary's excuse for supporting the same insane "Gas Holiday" ?
Ohhhhhhhhh I forgot.....HERE...Hillary gets a pass....until further notice!... or...until Obama is dead/burned/under a few feet of concrete/smeared/forgotten....

bee, you are getting really, seriously weird right now. You appended this comment to the wrong post. And while I've always granted you "special privilege" on this site -- well, to judge from your wording -- frankly, you sound drunk. I don't mean to be insulting. But that is the way you are acting.

I told you that I was not sold on the gas tax holiday idea. I mention Obama's stance because I thought the sheer hypocrisy of it was funny, and it provided a good lead-in to the substance of my piece.

You seem to think that I have a worshipful attitude toward Hillary. In fact, that is a common delusion among Obots -- if you dis the Messiah, you must be a zealous acolyte of the Deviless.

Adolph Reed's piece, linked in the latest post, captures my own stance. I won't go after Hillary right now because she is the only thing standing between Obama and the nomination. But I've never been fond of her. Hell, I can't even sit through an interview with her.

Joe,
Sorry...You are right!
I got home, cooked dinner, cleaned the kitchen(I have the TV on while I do all this and hear garbage from MSM) and sat down to have my little time to myself and see what happened while I was at work.
I pull up your blog....and ..
well...you just popped my cork!
I don't think you are a "nista" but you should know by now, I am not a "bot" either.
As much as I respect you, when you give Hillary a pass on everything, I have a hard time buying what you have to sell.
And don't tell me I listen to too many Progs.
Here is what I listen to most everyday:
BBC
Amy Goodman
CNN
MSNBC
RUSH
HANNITY
I glance at a few blogs
when I get home
And...drum roll...
Cannonfire
I still stand by what I said
The Girl has some BALLS on Her!

I see what you mean. I had two windows open. Drunk, I am not though, at least not tonight!

beeta, did you catch Wednesday's Democracy Now! when Adolph Reed (on the phone) and Melissa Harris-Lacewell debated? It made me want to enroll at both U of Pennsylvania and Princeton! But, alas, with one tuchas you can't dance at two weddings.

Joe, you being a film scholar doubtless recall, that when Hitchcock's Psycho was released, the Portuguese had no word for 'psycho', so their translation (translated back to English) was The Boy Who Dressed Like His Mother.

Joe,

I have to read up about the rules changes that McGovern forced on the Dem. Party - which resulted in adopting the crazy proportional representation in the primaries. You know what country has election by proportional representation? Israel. And look at *their* politics - it's insane.

The Dems. have to shitcan the proportional representation in the primaries and adopt winner-take-all.

Also, shitcan the caucuses. End them, don't mend them. They are an open invitation to fraud.

A-MEN brother!

My eyes have been opened on this issue, but you can bet I'll be paying a lot of attention to it, and I don't mean just for the duration of this election cycle.

The caucus system is inherently evil, since it rewards the candidate who may not be the most popular, but whose supporters are the most fanatical or the most conscience-free.

I think the primary system should mirror, to some extent, the general election system. As long as the general remains winner-take-all, then the primary should as well.

Joseph Cannon said...

I want to emphasize -- my problem with caucuses is NOT just a result of my antipathy for Obama. I intend to oppose this system no matter what the outcome of the current election.

I think a mail-in or all day primary is required.

I speak as someone who attended a caucus, it's F**ked up. Should be eliminated.
I agree with Joe on the other issue as well.
If the Election is about winner take all, the primaries should be the same way!
That's all I agree with Joe on at the moment!
