how much more racist can FOX news get?
July 3, 2008
I will start taking bets along with some ideas on just what FOX can come up with next!
They are a bunch of whackos over there- no wonder PUMA has had such tremendous success with their fringe right wing agenda andall. How many screw-ups has FOX had in the past 3 weeks? Lost count.
Seems like FOX is so busy trying to slam Obama they can get straight just who ran against Lincoln. Oh no, nevermind, that was the point! Show the black guy next to the iconic American “hero.”
Golly, there goes that Hero thing again.
Here Murdoch, let me help you:
This is Stephen Douglas.
This is Frederick douglass.
Guess which man debated Lincoln? Don’t ask FOX, they don’t know- well, yes they do- they just don’t care.
PUMA claims Obama flip-flops
July 3, 2008
My, my, my, projection is a pitiful thing. Obama flip-flops, but John McCain never does to a PUMA.
PUMAs claim that Obama is too liberal to become President, they tout that one lie that he was voted the most liberal senator in 2007. The one performed by National Journal. Mysterious, because who was voted the most liberal senator in 2003? John Kerry. And who performed THAT study? National Journal.
It seems like the GOP is running the EXACT same campaign. Journal’s flawed methodology, which they admit, has numerous cons and simply cannot be trusted. And the idea that both candidates were somehow voted the most liberal Senators the year before they began hardcore campaigning is kind of coincidental, don’t you think?
As a side note: in 2003, one of the comments made on FOX news against John Kerry, “Kim John Il loves John Kerry. North Korea loves John Kerry.” [outfoxed]
My, my, my, where have we heard that before? I wonder if it will resonate with Republicans, now that Bush has deemed N. Korea no longer a threat. Does Kim love George Bush? Probably not. Because Bush is a Republican.
But now that the general election is in full blast, Senator Obama seems to be treading more and more towards the middle. Is he really tredding or are we just feeling the wrath of believing these myths to begin with? He has never said he was a major liberal. It is the right who has painted his as a “marxist” or a “fringe liberal.” Why? Can anyone tell me WHY he is a fringe liberal? Or WHY he is a “marxist?” Nobody ever provides a SHRED of evidence with that claim.
One of the most overused, blatantly stupid attacks against Senator Obama is his flip-flop on Public financing. PUMA uses this while they attack Senator Obama for flip-flopping and I really don’t even think they know what it means. I mean, I quite frankly am angry that John McCain gets to use my tax dollars while trying to screw me over.
I would think that for some of these PUMAs, who hate Senator Obama so much, they would be overjoyed that Senator Obama is only taking money from people who actually give it to him. Why would you want your tax dollars going to a campaign that you don’t support?
But these McCainiacs- they just spit out whatever their new Jesus tells them is bad about Senator Obama. “Senator Obama wont take public financing.” Yeah gullable gullivers- you should be backflipping over that. But instead, they use it as ammunition.
Also, It is not a flip-flop if he never fully committed. Here are the facts, if you want to take the tissues out of your ears and read. Or pull the wool over your eyes.
Try harder Republicans.

The MATURITY of a PUMA voter.
July 3, 2008
Aren’t the Obama supporters supposed to be the little “twits” and “immature kids”.. ask any PUMA and they will say yes.
Who do you think made this photo?
Guess.
No, no really.. guess.
Can’t figure it out? Oh, alright-
A PUMA. Surely PUMAs are bastions of maturity and wisdom. right? NOT.

More political posturing from Johnny.
July 2, 2008
and the following should impress you coming from me, but this is ole’ Johnny Mcflopper at his finest, giving the Nixon grin and posturing to right with the gaffes of Amy Generals.
This afternoon McCain asserted that Senator Obama should “cut loose” Wesley Clark- a general- because of his comment made on “Face The Nation” this passed Sunday. Problem Johnny, Wesley Clark doesn’t work for the Obama campaign. Unlike Charlie Black, who seems to think that another terrorist attack would help your cause. Oh and by the way, why did that exit the news so soon?
1. Wesley Clark didn’t have any reason to apologize.
He was asked a question about Senator Obama never riding in a fighter plan and being shot down. He answered that question.
2. I am glad he didn’t
Why should he? By John McCain or any other pundit, radio personality, or journalist condemning Wesley Clark, aren’t they in some sense, disprespecting a hero? isn’t that why we are all supposed to be giving clark the finger? is Wesley Clark not a hero? Or are we all so wound up in finding the next “gotcha, fucker” moment that we can’t understand that concept?
To Republicans it is this “How dare you say that John McCain’s service to the military is irrelevant.”
Well, 4 years ago it was,
“how dare you think that John Kerry’s service in the military is relevant. And can we really call it ’service’ he got scratched on the arm.”
Yes, GOP- there is NO conflict of interest there. Sense my facetiousness?
Are we going to say Military service is relevant, or are we going to say that it’s not? You can never tell with the Republicans because they will take both sides and every gray area in between on every issue under the sun.
So, to be clear, we are NOT allowed to say “riding in a fighter plane and being shot down doesn’t automatically qualify someone to be president..” But we are allowed to say,” phony soldier.” Because that is what the right was calling John Kerry and any leftist that was in the military and opposes the war- or any war.
See, this is what I have always found astounding about Republicans. They only honor the service of Republican men. When a politician or anyone that becomes some social pariah happens to be a Democrat or a liberal, their service doesn’t count.
Republicans somehow have managed to brand their party as this iconic larger than life image. Thanks Reagan. They use words likes “patriot” “family values” ” wholesomeness” “hero” “integrity” “Honesty” yet- I have yet to meet a Republican who was all of this rolled into one.
Speaking of integrity? Didn’t George Bush “win” and entire campaign on that slogan? Maybe his twin McCain can borrow it. Maybe McCain can propagate some myth that after Bush’s reign of terror he will “restore integrity” to the White house.
Face it McCain- when you’re smearing Clark you’re going against your own idea. Don’t disrespect a “hero.” Well, if we’re speaking of politics and military service:
Let’s compare
Elizabeth Edwards: McCain’s health plan is RADICAL.
July 2, 2008
Elizabeth Edwards, who maintained a respectful distance during the primaries, has finally begun to chip away at her silence shell since Senator Obama clinched the nomination. After helping him better his own healthcare plan, the respected and admired HealthCare advocate went out yesterday and let the truth be heard:
Often Republicans try to skate by the issue of health care without putting out a plan…John McCain didn’t do that he completely breaks that mold, nit only does he have a plan he has posed the most radical plan in this race, the most radical plan in my lifetime… It ignores what happens in people’s lives, how the insurance industry has worked in the past, and will work in the future, and it ignores other kinds of deregulations
She went on to say that John McCain’s health care plan was the most RADICAL plan that she had ever seen.
Like a typical Republican, John McCain is proposing a “here’s a credit- good luck with that” policy. He also doesn’t even mention covering pre-existing conditions. Senator Obama lists this as his FIRST bullet point when it comes to healthcare. Guaranteed eligibility, and coverage for pre-existing conditions.
Just another subject that PUMA doesn’t care about.

Funny PUMA picture 1
July 2, 2008
From a wonderful email I received from a fan, E. Harris today that really made me laugh.
Have something you want to say? Email us: yestodemocracy@gmail.com
Is it a coincidence that stop-obama runs McCain ads and writes excruciatingly harsh posts against Senator Obama yet claims to be Democrats? No.
Is it strange that John McCain’s talking points man gets to espouse the ”we don’t support their actions” comment? No.
Isn’t it strange that he also says he will pull ads from the site? No.
I wonder how that will go over with stop-obama? I know.
It won’t go over. they have stopped actively blogging as of June 25th. They are Republicans anyway- maybe even working for the McCain campaign. We’ve already proven that tidbit of FACT.
So- the ads were there and now that stop-obama has essentially pulled the plug, NOW John McCain says he will stop. Riiiiiggghhhht. So he gets to get some traffic over to stop-obama, and the good press of saying that he doesn’t support it. WONDERFUL. Sorry Johnny, we’re not falling for that old trick!!!! You’re in bed with PUMA.
A spokesman for McCain said Monday the campaign was not aware their ads were running on the offending Web sites, and has taken steps to block those sites from their online advertising network.
“When we find stuff like this, we take care of it,” said McCain spokesman Brian Rogers.
McCain has made it known he is reaching out to former Clinton supporters, and there are nearly two hundred well-trafficked blogs and online communities run by former Clinton supporters who refuse to support Obama. But the three sites on which McCain’s ads appeared are particularly hostile to the Illinois senator.
One Web site, called Stop-Obama.org, is a group blog comprised of disaffected Clinton supporters, some of whom are now supporting McCain. Three different banners ads, one of which featured McCain standing side-by-side with Sen. Joseph Lieberman, were running on the site until Monday.
A recent post on the blog outlined the “simple parallels” between Obama and Hitler, and accused Obama’s audiences of having the same cult mentality that characterized followers of the German dictator.
McCain’s ads have also shown up on a pro-Clinton Web site named “Obama WTF” that accuses Obama of being “spineless,” having “communist influences,” “courting Jew haters” and being “in the pocket of America haters.”
SavagePolitics.com, another anti-Obama site that has been targeted with McCain ads, has called Obama a “bold faced liar, a thief, a sexist and a racist.”
The McCain campaign pulled the ads Monday evening after they were pointed out by CNN.

PUMA in bed with Free Republic.
July 2, 2008
First and foremost- we would like to thank Ben Smith from Politico for mentioning yestodemocracy.org today, here. Ben, you’re great man!
***
I just got a tip on this great article about stop-obama.org. Seems like the GOP did their part on stop-obama.org and have stopped blogging. Yeah, spread the lies and then leave the scene. Way to go Republicans! Yeah, these aren’t stock photos:
Jamal McCoy
Juanita Gonzales
Gregory Chang
Jeff Gold
From our friends over at PUMAcentral:
Fellow Travellers
Jamal McCoy tried to drum up some traffic for stop-obama.org by posting at Free Republic. For those who don’t know, Free Republic is a rabidly right wing web site that came to prominence during Bill Clinton’s impeachment. You’ll occasionally see its mostly middle-aged and overweight members (known as “Freepers”) protesting in small numbers in support of various right-wing causes.
Timing
The stop-obama.org domain name was first registered on February 11, 2008, shortly after the Super Tuesday primaries and caucuses on February 5. Super Tuesday is when McCain pretty much locked up the Republican nomination and Barack Obama was starting to seriously threaten Hillary’s chances at the nomination. This would have been an auspicious time for a Republican ratfucking operation to start targeting Obama.
Hey, guess what other domain was registered in February? http://clintonformccain.com
Wow, it’s all just adding up piece by piece.
