Despite my unwavering support for Barack Obama ever since the junior senator first announced his candidacy before the Old State Capitol building in Springfield, Illinois almost a year ago, if Hillary Clinton winds up being the democratic nominee for president, to me she will automatically become the human embodiment of the Michelle Pfeiffer, "Save-a-Negro" character in "Dangerous Minds" - hoping that my vote would help a blond white woman sweep in and save the day once again, from both republican rule and any more horrific Coolio remakes where he butchers the fuck out of a Stevie Wonder classic. Granted, my vote would be a painful one to make based on the Clinton campaign's penchant for smears, distortions, and race baiting over the past few months - but when cooler heads prevail like Eskimo blow-job contest winners, I clearly understand that she is better for the country than any republican in the race.(Even though I sincerely believe that Barack Obama would be a stronger general election candidate) I mean, really - Mike Huckabee? The former Arkansas Governor seems like a nice enough guy despite his love for the Confederate Flag, but he is an absolute Jesus freak who not only thinks that homosexuality is akin to bestiality, but he also feels that we should amend the Constitution to be in lockstep with the bible - oh, did I mention that all he feels that we all should have firearms to defend ourselves against our own government? Mitt Romney? The man will literally say anything to get elected, a plastic politician who looks like Ward Cleaver and what someone said to have "the soul of a game-show host" - in this youtube video that outlines how liberal he was when he was Governor of Massachusetts, the narrator says "Mitt Romney, catch him on the right day and he's Che 'fricking' Guevara!" Word. Ron Paul? Well, you all know how I feel about Ron Paul. John McCain? I'm well aware that the man is a war hero with an extensive record of public service, and I respect the fact that it took absolute courage to withstand 5 years as a P.O.W - but when did the ability to endure an asswhipping automatically make you an authority on everything foreign policy? John McCain is the 50 Cent of politics. Besides, with his recent comments about the possibility of america being in Iraq for another 100 years, his habit of trying to perpetuate the falsehood that the "surge is working", and the sentiment that there will be in fact "more wars" - it is this writers opinion that a "President McCain" would be extremely hazardous to all of our health.Suffice it today, if the Democratic nominee is either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton, I feel pretty good about our chances come November - based on the proverbial clown-shoes on the republican side posing as politicians that is. Which brings me to the title of this post. There is one man we should all be thanking for the lackluster candidates the republicans have inundated us with over the past year. One person that we should be showering nothing but praise upon if the democrats take the White House in 08'. That man ladies and gentlemen, is Jim Webb.
See, Jim Webb narrowly defeated incumbent George Allen in the 2006 Senate race of Virginia - a man who had not only served as Governor for my home state, but was supposed to be a shoe-in for being the republican nominee in this years election. That's why I consider Mr. Webb to be 2008's "Man of the Year", because George Allen's conservative credentials makes it seem like the man comes out of central casting when it comes to republican candidates. He's no Mitt Romney, with liberal stances like pro-choice and gun control that he doesn't want you to remember now that he's running for president - George Allen has toed the party line from day one, I think he voted with George Bush 99% of the time. He's no John McCain, no one can accuse George Allen of being a "maverick" - while right-wing radio openly bristles at the idea of a McCain nomination, they'd all come together in a political circle jerk if Allen were the nominee. Sure, I find his love for the confederate flag, nooses, and his affiliation with one of the largest white supremacist groups in the country(Council of Conservative Citizens) rather unsettling - but to Republicans, such indiscretions would be considered to be "suring up his base".

It's nice to see the real Democrats coming out in this race. With the establishment candidates of Bill and Mrs. Bill Clinton feeling their "due" run at the presidency slipping away, the seething racism and sexism always attributed to the right wing are rearing their ugly heads on the left.
BTW, Webb narrowly beat Allen after a HUGE deal was made of Allen's use of the work "Macaca", which some took to be a racial slur.
On the other side of the aisle, you've got one of the worst fucking knuckleheads to ever grace the political stage - Joe Biden - clearly saying and meaning to make a racial slur against Obama: "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy....I mean, that's a storybook, man."
Translation: Biden thinks he's the fist non Jesse Jackson, non Al Sharpton, race baiting, riot causing, 100% anti-semitic black guy to get a legitimate shot at the white house. Nice!
What happened to Biden for his purely racist remarks? He gets to run as President! YAY! Why not just get it over with and make Robert Bird his running mate? Allen gets destroyed, Biden gets put on the national stage. Typical for the left: the bigger the fuck up you are, the more incompetent you are, the higher you rise in the party. Harry Reid is another prime example of this.
It's no fucking surprise that the Democrat race has dissolved into a racist, sexist tug of war. Those fuckers have always had those feelings but kept them behind closed doors. Now that they've been put in a position to air it out in front of the country, it's priceless. The cherry on the cake is Bill Clinton running around wagging his fingers at reporters and fabricating false claims of voter intimidation in Las Vegas. He's getting "Clintoned" himself, and he don't like it! WAAA! Too fucking bad, fuck face!
I'm not even a religious person - haven't been to a church except for weddings and funerals in a decade. I'd still take Mike Huckabee over Mrs. Bill Clinton or Barrak anyday.
If we're going to put some fucking racists in the White House, I would just as soon put the one in that thinks sucking a 3 month old fetus out of a woman shouldn't be paid for with tax payer's money. I'd rather have the one that believes in the 2nd amendment, and not the ones that think its OK for a murderous crack slinger in Philly to trade in a gun he's shot 10 people with for a pair of Air Jordans, no questions asked.
No fucking thanks.
Sorry that it took me so long to annihilate your inbred arguments - I'm back now..
"BTW, Webb narrowly beat Allen after a HUGE deal was made of Allen's use of the work "Macaca", which some took to be a racial slur."
Allen barely beating Webb is more of an indictment of Virginia's lack or progressiveness than anything else. That being said, anytime a person has to invent a new racial epithet - they are a piece of shit and need the extra scrutiny.
"Joe Biden - clearly saying and meaning to make a racial slur against Obama:"
Joe Biden being racially insensitive is far different from making up a slur for black people. Besides, George Allen is a known racist with a penchant for saying "nigger" and collecting confederate flags and nooses. Not even close.
"I'd still take Mike Huckabee over Mrs. Bill Clinton or Barrak anyday."
Of course you'd be against Barack, his supporters tend to be more educated and your silly ass can't spell his name correctly.
Dude, read your fucking history before you get up all on here making shit up. Allen didn't invent some racial slur, and the Webb staffer he was talking about wasn't black!
"Macaca" is a common term used in Europe to refer to people of African decent. The Webb staffer he was directing the slur at was actually a US Citizen of Indian decent - and no, NOT American Indian. Allen couldn't even get his slurs straight!
So, let me be sure to get this distinction right that you're making here: it's OK to slander someone with a racial slur if its a "tried and true" slur, but if you were to make up some new slur that could be interpreted as a racial slur, that's worse? WHOA.
Too fucking much. A dipshit like Biden does his best to perpetuate the stereo type that blacks are dirty uneducated illiterates on national TV, and you refer to this as being "racially insensitive", making it somehow a lesser offense because that stereotype has been used in the past, but Macaca hasn't?
What about Biden's racial slurs about Indians? Remember when he said: "I've had a great relationship. In Delaware, the largest growth in population is Indian-Americans moving from India. You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not joking."
Right from the horses mouth! He's not joking about being a sack of shit racist! He dead fucking serious! You got to give it to Joe though - I admire the guy that wears his bigotry right out on his sleeve. Seems like he and Allen have something in common when it comes to demeaning Indians!
So you can go on in your little mind morally equivocating racism between the right and the left, trying to say one is worse than the other.
From your recent blog post about Clinton's Jesse Jackson comment, I think you understand. Racism ain't just for the Right-Wing...the left has done a great job of putting it out right in the middle of the coffee table so everyone sees it when they walk in the door.
"Dude, read your fucking history before you get up all on here making shit up. Allen didn't invent some racial slur, and the Webb staffer he was talking about wasn't black!"
No shit numbnuts, my point was that someone's high levels of racism are apparent when the word "nigger" just isn't string enough for your liking.
"So, let me be sure to get this distinction right that you're making here: it's OK to slander someone with a racial slur if its a "tried and true" slur, but if you were to make up some new slur that could be interpreted as a racial slur, that's worse? WHOA."
What a weak, "grasping at straws" argument based on an already flailing argument - don't pull things out of your ass simply because you are on the business end of a debate.
"A dipshit like Biden does his best to perpetuate the stereo type that blacks are dirty uneducated illiterates on national TV, and you refer to this as being "racially insensitive", making it somehow a lesser offense because that stereotype has been used in the past, but Macaca hasn't?"
You are propping up the flimsiets of strawman arguments - who the fuck is talking about Joe Biden? But to entertain your sorry attempt at distortion, I'll engage - what Biden said was wrong, sure. But he, unlike Allen, has an extencise Civil Rights record that can't be denied - on top no such history of racial insensitivity. Allen, on the other hand, not so much - voting against a MLK Holiday, referring to Doug Wilder as a "nigger", his association with white supremacy groups, his love of nooses and confederate flags. You're just getting embarrassed now - but finally, Barack Obama publicly forgave him and said that Biden has historically been on the "right side of the issues." I'm still waiting for that kid at the Allen rally to forgive the former Senator..lol
..all that typing for nothing..
