I have some Repug friends that I joust with (keeps me sharp, I guess...), and yesterday received from one of them a 'shocking' revelation including some quotations from Barack. This message provided me an opening to reveal the real truth as to the Horrendous Disaster for America and the World that we are just on the cusp of avoiding.
Please follow me to the jump for the original note and my revealing retort.
Subject: Priceless Obama quotes
"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
"My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join me as we try to change it."
"I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of twelve or thirteen, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."
"I found solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race."
"To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists."
"I learned to slip back and forth between my black and white worlds. One of those tricks I had learned: People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied; they were relieved -- such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn't seem angry all the time."
"I had learned not to care. I blew a few smoke rings, remembering those years. Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though. ..."
"...I've got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby."
"I can no more disown (Jeremiah Wright) than I can disown the black community." --UPDATE: Barack Obama decides to "disown" him on Tuesday, April 29th after he realized his campaign was in severe turmoil due to his association with Mr. Wright.
"The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn't. But she is a typical white person..."
"That’s just how white folks will do you."
"You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
"We need somebody who's got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it's like to be a young teenage mom, the empathy to understand what it's like to be poor or African-American or gay or disabled or old - and that's the criterion by which I'll be selecting my judges."
Call to Islamic prayer is "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset."
Nacho---Thank-you so much for this critical information. Needless to say, I am shocked to learn that Barack is Black and that he would be so rash as to express concern and sympathy for anyone other than White Christian Males. I mean, what the Hell does he think this is, a multicultural Democracy or something??? Sheesh!!!
Your revelations permit me now to share the real truth with you---as I’m sure you are aware, all of this ridiculous background noise is, in fact, a clever diversion to distract us from the fact that the real Manchurian Candidate in this election is John McCain.
Quite fortunately for America and the World, some of us saw both movies and realize that the five years spent in the Hanoi Hilton were the breeding ground for this devious plot to steal both our freedom and our self-determination. Can you believe that he got this close???!!!
The plot was a farsighted one. Of course, when he returned from Vietnam, he had to dump his now-disabled wife and her two kids. Hell, they weren’t going to get him where he needed to go!!! Cindy’s perfect, huh? A beautiful and fabulously rich beer heiress—right out of Central Casting. I know, all those years in captivity on top of his already-quirky personality made him a bit erratic, but just say ‘POW’ and ‘Maverick’ enough, and you can camouflage that crap!!! Pretend to like and work w/Dems enough to get that whole bipartisan thing going, hide your scary out-of-control temper the best you can, then pick the ultimate distraction as your VP Candidate!!! Who cares if she doesn’t know you-know-what from shinola about Foreign Affairs (or Domestic ones, for that matter—oops! Guess she had one of those). Who cares if you look like her Grumpy Grampaw, just look at her glasses!!!
John, your Communist Captors are none too pleased with the way you’ve screwed up royally the past couple of weeks. I guess about all you’ve got left in your bag of tricks is to try the "Stupid Smear" routine again and hope that voters are really, really dumb and not paying attention, but I gotta tell ya, with all these Wars and the Economic Meltdown going on, I’m not sure it’s gonna work this time....you might be due for another time-out....
