Sarah Palin, John Edwards, Barack Obama, Oprah, Chicago’s Communities

Obama’s Community
Palin’s MSM Fallout
Edwards a Libility
A Community Organized
Sarah Palin doesn’t have a lot of use for community organizers. Democrats are aghast, but most of America doesn’t have any use for them, either. Chicago has community organizers: how’s the Windy City’s community organized?
Democrats.org say that community organizers are “how ordinary people respond to out-of-touch politicians and their failed policies”. Doug Ross responds, “Do tell. For the last 77 years, Democrats have controlled Chicago.” Oops!
Chuck Norris calls the Democrat Nominee “Puff, the Magic Obama“. Well…Obama did say–in one of his better lines of the campaign–the “idea was to inhale”.
Barack Obama, phone home: your city needs you.
In a cbs2chicago.com report published today, Chicago’s CBS affiliate reported some incredible news: the city’s 125 summer murder total nearly doubled the number of soldiers killed in Iraq during the same time period.
One statistic you won’t see Harry Reid calling a press conference to announce.
Palineous
JWF says that a renowned community organizer whined like a little bitch today after getting gangster-slapped by the hockey mom” and points out that a certain community looks a bit unorganized. For equal time, we refer the reader to PJ’s This is Why.
More equal time: The United Steelworkers’ Union admits that Todd Palin is a union brother–and then treats his family like red-headed stepchildren. Shoebox thinks Hell Hath No Fury Like (Bitter) Women Scorned. No, not Sarah Palin, the has-beens at NOW. The Palin Bounce. CBS Poll McCain 42, Obama 42.
Newt Gingerich verbally body-slams an MSNBC reporter who thinks he’s talking to another member of the media instead of the former Speaker.
Speaking of slams, RR calls a certain left-wing nutroots site, “The Daily Kock“.
BRINGING THE HATE BOOMERANGS ON MSM: Rasmussen says American, after the MSM `went 24/7 Kill Mode, view Palin more favorably than either McCain or Obama. Bringing the heat means bringing the love, at least in this latest example of the MSM injecting itself into the news instead of just reporting it.
OPRAH says, “no” to Palin; though her staff is split on the issue. This is understandable: Oprah actively campaigned for Barack Obama earlier on.
Only last week, a spokesman said that John Edwards was looking to fill out speaking schedule. So, he followed in the footsteps of his wife and canceled his speaking appearance at Hofstra University. Strange way to expand your appearances.
“Nothing is more important than electing Barack Obama and Joe Biden,†Edwards said in a statement released Thursday by the Harry Walker Agency in Manhattan. “I don’t want my appearance at these events to be a distraction from the important issues of the election, or from the important purpose of these meetings.â€
Which prompted Simon at Deceiver to raise the question: Is Edwards admitting that he’s a political liability?
Hey, wait a sec… I thought Edwards was a private citizen? I thought this scandal had absolutely nothing to do with Obama? But there it is in black and white gray and slightly lighter gray: Edwards just went out of his way to link himself to Obama. Otherwise, why would appearing in public be a distraction from Obama’s campaign?
More on Edwards later today.

The right wing nuts are a bunch of cheaters in regards to the upcoming election. I laugh at you when you go on and on about the “liberal”, left wing” mainstream media. Most Americans know the media in our country is far from “left leaning”.
Edwards will continue to be fodder for the RIGHT WING MEDIA – BETTER KNOWN AS THE CORPORATE MEDIA long after this Presidential election is over and the Republicans steal another election from “WE THE PEOPLE”.
Why do you investigate Sarah Palin’s church??

Why don’t you investigate Sarah Palin’s church??

Marilyn,
If it turns out that Palin sat in on something untoward in her church for 20 years, you can bet we’ll look into it. As it is, we probably posted 4 or 5 articles on the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
I figure one post per 4 years of church shenanigans is about right.
For those of you wondering: DBKP did not post a single word about John Edwards and his affair prior to December 18, 2007.
The October allegations in the National Enquirer were in the category of “hearsay” from unsourced emails. At that time, we just thought there were other things to occupy our time. When the Edwards’ allegations became very specific in December–dates, names, times, incidences–THAT was when we got interested in Edwards. We’re still interested.
As of yet, the National Enquirer is saying little about Palin, beyond a quote quite clearly marked as coming from “an enemy of Palin’s”. We, like the readers, will wait and see if there’s any more there. If there is, we’ll report it. While we are clearly not an unbiased news source (the “Right wing bunch of Conservative Cutthroats” gives us away), we’ve not been shy about pointing out the shortcomings of John McCain–especially on the issues on which we disagree with the Rep. nominee.
As far as cheating in elections, history has shown that it’s not defined by party, although in the last 40 years, the Dems have somewhat perfected some ‘questionable’ techniques. But, as an observer in local elections, I would posit that the extreme, vast majority of election results are valid reflections of the voters.
I still feel that way–even when the people I vote for, lose.
Okay….everybody dance!
Thanks for taking the time to stop by, read and comment!

Speaking of Barack Obama:
Barack Obama is a racial-minority individual, and in his heart and mind he inevitably does not endorse hate crimes committed by George W. Bush.
George W. Bush committed hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism (indicated in my blog).
George W. Bush did in fact commit innumerable hate crimes.
And I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed other hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention.
Many people know what Bush did.
And many people will know what Bush did—even to the end of the world.
Bush was absolute evil.
Bush is now like a fugitive from justice.
Bush is a psychological prisoner.
Bush has a lot to worry about.
Bush can technically be prosecuted for hate crimes at any time.
In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.

I am not sure where I had read it before, but anyway, it is a linguistically excellent statement, and it goes kind of like this: “If only it were possible to ban invention that bottled up memories so they never got stale and faded.†Oh wait—off the top of my head—I think the quotation came from my Lower Merion High School yearbook.
