POPSal qaeda doesn't like the President-Elect al-zawahiri: "It appears that you don't know anything about ... the history of Afghanistan and its free and defiant Muslim people," he said. "And be aware that the dogs of Afghanistan have found the flesh of your soldiers to be delicious, so send thousands after thousands to them."

POPSAl-Qaida No. 2 insults Obama The message also includes old footage of speeches by Malcolm X in which he explains the term, saying black slaves who worked in their white masters' house were more servile than those who worked in the fields. Malcolm X used the term to criticize black leaders he accused of not standing up to whites.

POPSElection Results Spur Racism These things are indeed idiotic. But readers miss the point Racism has existed in open view long before the election. Every time I go in a post office and find 100% blacks working there, it's racism. When 98% of the blacks vote for Obama, it's racism. When OJ Simpson's jury finds the murderer not guilty it's racism. When employers are forced to hire a certain percentage of blacks, regardless of their abilities, it's racism. When I criticize a radical president elect who espouses Marxist ideas and am denounced as a racist, it's racism. Indeed the race problem America has resides in blacks. They are our biggest racists. So now we elect a racist president whose electorate is racist and whose policies are steeped in racism.

POPSElection of Obama spurs "hundreds" of race threats, crimes Four North Carolina State University students admitted writing "Let's shoot that (N-word) in the head," in a tunnel meant for free speech. At Standish, Maine, a sign inside the Oak Hill General Store read: "Osama Obama Shotgun Pool. Stabbing, shooting, roadside bombs, they all count. Let's hope someone wins." Second- and third-grade students on a school bus in Rexburg, Idaho, chanted "assassinate Obama," a district official said. Black figures were hanged by nooses from trees on Mount Desert Island, Maine, the Bangor Daily News reported. Crosses were burned in yards of Obama supporters in Hardwick, N.J., and Apolacan Township, Pa. Their time is coming an end, and they know it: whites will no longer be the majority population in the US by 2050.

POPSThe Conservative Bastion " Both women came from fundamentalist backgrounds and attended religious colleges. And both wrestled for years with the guilt they felt over being lesbians. "I thought, 'God, you played a really horrible trick on me -- making me think this was really disgusting and then making me gay,' " The couple, both 47, moved to Murrieta from Orange County looking for a place with good schools and space for children. They knew it was a conservative town but believed they could fit in. "We have always lived comfortably with our neighbors and have always been who we are," Lorian said. Now they wonder if their efforts to blend in hurt them. "

POPSTraumatised Veterans get no CARE - just platitudes. This proves the lie that Labour cares for veterans. With 1 in 5 prisoners being former servicemen, there has to be some reason for this. What changes caring warriors into mindless thugs? Insults, neglect and total indifference. I charge all the major charities be they Royal British Legion, Soldiers,Sailors , Airmens Family Association to come up to the mark and put your money where your mouths are, and stop overpaying former generals and territorial officers for doing what volunteer carers do for nothing...care for the needy former soldier.

POPSGoogle Boss Supports Obama!
There were a few creeps here on this forum, Republican smear campaign trolls, who had not one real issues to discuss but just full of insults, rudeness, false smears, hot-air empty issues, etc. But one of these wannabe thugs even tried to make intimidation (like Republicans often do to voters in poor and minority districts) -- saying he was "making a list," he was going to find out where all these "commie" Obama supporters lived; and they were going to "be sorry." But now, I thought, wow! The Google boss is on Obama's side. He could easily set going some sort of spider or bot seach and actually come up with a real list of these empty-headed, non-issue, smear campaign airheads. Maybe they could be blocked from using Google? That would be could. Maybe there license to use the whole Internet could be revoked. Maybe they could be forced to reread all their posts during the upcoming years of the Obama presidency? Oh well...alas... I guess not. That would be undemocratic.

POPSMcCain to use "Yo Momma" Insults in Debate From 23/6: With an unrepentant economy and Sarah Palin satires dominating the news, several new tracking polls show Barack Obama widening his lead over John McCain anywhere from 14 points at the NYT/CBS Polls to 101 points at MSNBC, taken between the Countdown and Rachel Maddow Shows. Only at Fox News where they show a narrow 3 point margin for McCain in the BillOReilly.com "Phones Are Poppin'" Poll that asked the Folks™ to choose between McCain and a Muslin Comrade of a Terrorist, does McCain hold a lead. "Obviously thing are looking a bit dire," said McCain spokesman, Tucker Bounds, "so you can expect Senator McCain to take off the gloves at tonight's debate. In actuality, someone will probably help him take off those gloves just before the debate, but he will be well-prepared to be aggressive, no matter the issue."

POPSBarrack's Wife: Michelle Obama Plays It Cool. These people, this campaign, is incredible. I have never seen nor could even have imagined such consistent brillance. The more common reaction would be to toss insults back at McCain and instead she talks about respecting them and how Obama is going to need them! One of Obama's clever message (and I believe it's also sincere) is how Democrats, Republicans and Independents have to work together (appealing to them all), and how there is no 'Red States,' of America, nor 'Blue States,' of America -- but the United States of America (appealing to us all). Even direct enemies are invited in and it is another (I believe sincere) brilliant thing: It disarms the 'enemy,' and is a core of his political philosophy: Work Together: Consensus This has actually worked to soften significant Catholic opposition (due to the abortion issue; most difficult). (/About 56% Catholic opposition would lose the election). How? -- Allow abortions (regrettably) but work to build families; do adapti

POPS"Terrorist!" "Kill him!" - Anger growing at McCain rallies "Kill him!" shouted at Palin rally as Palin stokes Ayers paranoia; journalists taunted as Palin blames media for her weak interviews; "Terrorist!" shouted after McCain implies Obama is other than he seems.

POPSyeah... just right after I shoot a Moose....! I’ll try to find you some and I’ll bring em to ya Do we really need another George Bush in the White house, even if this time, it's second in command? I never vote straight Dem or Rep.... I vote the competency of the leader, and my friends, I think every time I try to see both sides objectively, one side, keeps playing lowball games which lets down the American people who deserve better. Choosing a woman who is UNQUALIFIED WOMAN demeans competent REPUBLICAN WOMEN LEADERS as well as Women voters. Katherin Sibelius (sp) would have been a great choice as a competent, intelligent woman, for example. Don't you think McCain insults his Republican party by choosing someone less than the absolute best for his "beloved" country? This is shameful to ALL AMERICANS no matter what side of the fence you sit on.... they are hiding Palin from the media for a good reason. Sad.

POPS"Dos Caras" Obama Is Stoking Racial Antagonism
Here's the relevant part of the Spanish-language television commercial Mr. Obama is running in Hispanic communities: "They want us to forget the insults we've put up with . . . the intolerance . . . they made us feel marginalized in this country we love so much." Then the commercial flashes two quotes from me: ". . . stupid and unskilled Mexicans" and "You shut your mouth or you get out!" The first sound bite was extracted from a 1993 humorous monologue poking fun at the arguments against the North American Free Trade Agreement. Here's the context: "If you are unskilled and uneducated, your job is going south. Skilled workers, educated people are going to do fine 'cause those are the kinds of jobs Nafta is going to create. If we are going to start rewarding no skills and stupid people, I'm serious, let the unskilled jobs that take absolutely no knowledge whatsoever to do -- let stupid and unskilled Mexicans do that work." "Dos Caras" Obama es la gran mentir

POPSAthlete Insults National Anthem Big Surprise! How many times have we witnessed, not only athletes but fans in the stands of sporting events, talking and shuffling around while the National Anthem is being played? Where is the respect? Whatever anyone's personal believes and attitudes are towards what this country symbolizes, we all owe a great debt to those individuals who have died fghting for our right to be Americans. There once was a time when every person actually took off their hats, put their hands over their hearts, stood in silence, and actually gave thought to what it means to be an American while the National Anthem was being played. If you think that tradition is overplayed, if you think it is too 'old fashined' to show respect to our nation's symbol, if you have no respect for your status as an American citizen, then get the hell out of my country and don't disrespect my right to contemplate what has gone into the making of this nation.

POPSMcCain Running on an 'Elaborate Fictional Narrative of Victimhood' Think about the "big issues" McCain's brought up in the past week and you'll find it's 0% substance and 100% whining about perceived insults. McCain, having lost the debate on issues, is now playing the refs, trying to get everyone to call a foul on Barack Obama. If you ever needed proof that McCain's got nuthin', I give you "lipstick on a pig." We've got a country to run here, John. You want to act like a damned adult or whine and cry like a goddam baby? That isn't going to fly in the White House. Either get back to substance or shut the hell up.

POPSInvoking Fear of Faith "Believers are mocked (if not too publicly at election time). Sen. Barack Obama's behind-closed-doors remark in San Francisco to the effect that worried blue-collar chumps cling to God and guns perfectly captured the left's worldview, equating faith and firearms as equal menaces to an enlightened society." " I don't see extremism in Palin's faith. I see the love of God that prevails beyond the Beltway. The media's bigotry toward her tells us far more about the political biases and snobbery of journalists than it does about Sen. John McCain's running mate. In recent years, a succession of pundits has compared our country to ancient Rome. Most of the assertions are silly. But our governing elite certainly shares the Roman patricians' disdain for the faith of the common citizen. "

POPSCommunity Organizers
I know what community organizers do. I have friends and family who are involved with social work and community organization. They register people to vote. They get people involved with the political process. They know the real, day-to-day problems of the people in their community like the back of their hand. They help people with their life problems, helping elderly folks keep the lights on and helping gro ups with a significant problem get organized enough to get the attention of an alderman or city hall. The people on the ground, the "community organizers" and very local politicians, do a ton of good work for the people of this country. And through that process, they gain a deep understanding of the real problems and thoughts of everyday people. I held out hope that during the Convention, I could get a real grasp on where the Republican Party was.Last night, Sarah Palin gave a speech that was in theory meant to get people like me excited about the Republican ticket.

POPSBush refers to "The Angry Left," at RNC This makes me angry. (: There is the video of this on this link) Seriously it makes me angry, all these warmongering hate-filled hearts can do is slander and name call and they do their best to avoid any discussion of issue. There is no "angry left." There are millions of people who don't want to spend one more dime (or thin Euro) for a war built on lies. It's clear the "Rabid Right," has nothing to offer for national or international leadership other than third-grade insults.
