Is there NO limit to your transparency batboy? You're soooo outraged at the behavior of Dems but when Republican do the exact same things you are conveniently silent. You know all about the reports of republicans yelling for Obama to be killed and for him to be beheaded but you say nothing about this. Obama campaign offices have been vandalized in NY, WI, OH, CO and IN but are you outraged by this? Not so much. I'm sorry, WHAT? Republican Lackey CLOWN!

For those of you that can't let go of the Bill Ayers issue here is an interesting letter. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/10/opinion/l10ayers.html?ex=1381377600&en=1e080c04934b34a1&ei=5124&partner=digg&exprod=digg#secondParagraph
SHOW ME where I have EVER defended violence batboy? You know that I said no such thing but just like the GOP your game is to always throw as much "stuff" on the wall as you can and see how much of it sticks. There are nuts on both sides, we all know this. Anyone advocating or promoting violence is wrong no matter who it is. I might think that McCain is an old, out of touch fool and that Palin is a total embarrassment but that doesn't mean that I think they should be killed. They just shouldn't be running the country.

"Genius/Idiot", all of the examples that you gave were started when blacks had no or very limited option. You know because of those little things called Jim Crow, segregation and discrimination. NONE of those examples are discriminatory nor do they exclude whites. I know whites who attended historically black colleges, are members of black fraternities/sororities, attend black churches and are members of the NAACP.
batboy your phony outrage is so transparent that it's laughable. You talk about the jokes about McCain and Palin but of course you have no problem with the McCain/Palin crowds who call for Obama to be killed and beheaded. CLOWN!

Wow, Battykins, the Flyers fans were impious to Chosen One, so they got their cosmic justice? Man, how can I have been so blind! Now I believe!

Obama attended a "Black Church".........can someone point me in the direction of the "White only Churches"??????" It's actually a very mixed church "Genius/Idiot" if you ever actually did some research instead of letting Fox News do it for you maybe you would know that.

Is that the best you can come up with? As I suspected you have never actually listened to a sermon. just the clips you have been feed on Fox News. Sure some statements by Rev. Wright crossed the line and when that happened Obama was forced to cut him loose. His sermons are NOT about hatred of America. The man is a veteran. His ministry has done nothing but good in the communities of Chicago for decades. Funny how the hateful statements made by ministers such as Jerry Fawell and John Hagee as well as the hateful speech coming from McCain supporters don't seem to bother you at all. I wonder why that is.
Four months, twenty years it is still a man who preached hatred towards America. Obama and his wife sat in Wright's pews listening to the hateful rhetoric, and in the end Obama disowned both the Reverend Wright and own grandmother. What a guy!!! Oh, and what na wife!!!
ET quit with the 4 month old talking points will you? Talk to me when you have listened to an ENTIRE Rev. Wright sermon not the loop that you see over and over on Fox News.
Where was Obama during the primaries? He didn't show up in Philly until his well regarded and anti American minister became a controversial issue. That worked out. He ended up throwing his own grandmother under the bus and eventually ended his relationship with a minister who preached hatred towards America for twenty years. Yeah I want this guy to be my president........
Palin booed at Flyers game. Philly sports fans. Most knowledgeable in the country. They know a fraud when they see one! www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zgI0hyQN-w

"Why would Obama waste his time campaigning where he is going to get 99% of the vote? I guess he figured it might be nice to visit the "people" knowing that the election is in the bag."
When McCain campaigns at his base locations would you make such a statement? Of course not. But you didn't mean anything by that, right?

Posted by b.atkinson 06:08 PM, 10/11/2008. "Animals couldn't bother to clean up after themselves as usual." So who qualifies as an "animal" in your world batboy? I hope that includes the McCain supporters that have been yelling "kill him", "off with his head" referring to Obama.

Basil Fawlty: Who the heck is Mannie Martinez? Do you mean Manny Ramirez? "Lidge is a liability"? So, never having blown a save this year is a bad thing? Wow, dude...
Check out this hilarious video of McCain asking a "plant" a question at a rally yesterday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVfmzPNOmac

TPS,
We should probably save this for another post, as i don't think the usual cast of characters will be here tonight.
The Phillies should absolutely treat Mannie Martinez as the playoff teams treated Barry Bonds back in 'o2: walk him when you can get away with it, and otherwise challenge him with nothing to lose. The man has so totally worked out NL pitching, why O why let him beat you???
One out of three at Dodgers Stadium, it's over. Hamels gets his second win against LA on the road...I mean, LA was a couple of games UNDER five-hundred ball in September---they won by default, let's face it. Lidge is a liability, but, for God's sake, look how LA batters are responding to the low slider...K,K,K,K!!!
Well, there's a shock: The Commission found that Palin abused her authority in troopergate. No wonder McCain was referring to everyone as prisoners - has has a gift for seeing the future.
Phils win, McCain finally shows he is a fellow human being, and capitalism is out for the count. My God, pinch me.
My friends, I predict the prisoners, er Phillies, will win this series. Did I mention maverick? Did I mention terrorist?
Not to turn this political, but every Friday will be Red Friday if we elect Bunch's candidate. Go Phils!
I wish Smerconish had asked him who he thought should be the rightful 1925 NFL Champion.
Will: Hey genius, do you scream out "he's got a no-hitter and it's the 7th inning!!!" when you're at a game, you moron? Beat it dope!!!

Will, you dolt, you never say sw**p as long as it's a possibility, just like you don't jinx shutouts or no-hitters. Ugh.
No he doesn't.
Yes, it was pointless.
Gibba, sorry, but I find idle predictions pointless unless you're predicting against any and all probabilities. Here goes then: Myers pitches a perfect game.
Gibba: "worse than Hamels"?? 8 K's, 2 ER's and 7 H's? Where you expecting a no-no? Nitwit.
"worse than Hamels"????....Hamels was a bit shakey the first couple of inning. He settled down nicely as the game went on. I can see Meyers giving up a few in the first two innings.
"worse than Hamels"????
My friends, even if the Phillies lose, they can still sweep this series. The fundamentals are strong.
I predict Meyers is gonna have a rough start, perhaps worse than Hamels. It's gonna be up to the bats to win this game.
The way the market is going, it could go up or down 200 between pitches.
Happy hour starts in 2 hours Bon.
Between the Phils, the market and this election I am filled with a great deal of mixed emotions. Hopefully the markets turn around before the world series, or I am not sure how much I can bring myself to enjoy it.
I'm going to the game! I LOLed at your prediction.
Well, in McCain's mind the Annenberg's fund terrorism, so why not the Phillies?
What a spot on prediction Will. Why not go out on another limb and predict Sarah Failin will call McPain a maverick. Heck, make it three for three by predicting McPain himself will say "my friends."
I read that Obama was interviewed by Smerko this morning and picked the Phils. Does that mean all Phillies fans are now terrorists?

Sweep? Who the hell is talking sweep after one game?
