“WASHINGTON — Senator Barack Obama’s decision to support legislation granting legal immunity to telecommunications companies that cooperated with the Bush administration’s program of wiretapping without warrants has led to an intense backlash among some of his most ardent supporters.”

We just heard about blogs being attacked and/or forced to shut down because they are accused of spam.

Last week our e-mail list was attacked. We’d been sending out a weekly newsletter to hundreds of subscribers here and abroad for years. Then suddenly this week, our ISP, comcast, shut down our outgoing mail.

No explaination, no response until we contacted our Secretary of State and sent comcast a copy.

First they tried to say it was our mail program, Eudora, that was at fault, then after more prodding they admitted that we had been charged by some unidentified people of “sending spam”.

Our newsletter for gendergappers.org was started for the many who only have e-mail and have no or limited access to the Web.  Read more 

The night of the long knives took the msn, DNC and the obamacan bully boyz of the netroots [trying to out-drudge, Drudge] over a year to produce a final kill. They gather around the corps of the candidate they had determined to kill; gloating, taking credit inwardly but outwardly sharpening their knives for slashing continuing wounds.

“The fault”, the many pontificated, “was her own. She made so many mistakes and he ran a faultless campaign.” The few with positive and praising comments usually included a barb, a snark or a regret that there was no more blood to be shed.  Read more 

I would be interested to know if anyone else has been contacted by the media looking for this information. I got a call this AM from a features reporter, Sam Hemmingway, at the Burlington Free Press [VT]. He called me after finding that I had been contributing to Senator Clinton’s campaign regularly and for some time.

His main question was: “Do you regret spending all that money on a losing candidate?”

I answered that it was the DNC and not the voters that say she lost and in any event, I did not regret supporting her. I went on to say that the election was illegal because —  Read more 

Never mind, they’ll come back. They always do, you know. Women get cruelly battered and still keep returning to their batterer. BUT NOT THIS TIME!

We still support Hillary despite the combined power of the Democratic Party hacks, the Media Whores, and the illicit money men of the Obama campaign who have waged a vicious, nasty, hate filled, sexist campaign against her.

They continually battered her and when they battered her, they battered us.  Read more 

I know that when a blog addy is passed around it attracts all the nastiness of the kosacks, badacks and crap peddlers but shouldn’t our opinions on Hillary and BO be referenced once in awhile on the big old box - TV?

Once again recently, CNN guy stood up with big screen where he could show examples of what “THE BLOGS” were saying about Hillary.

And, surprise, surprise. There was no blog that had anything positive to report. Everyone on the blogisphere was cursing her for trying to get BO assinated.

Now we know that isn’t true and we know they know it and we know they have seen Kennedy Jr’s confirmation of what Hillary said. And we know that the interviewer has published his belief that what Hillary said was concerning June and the late Primaries of the past.  Read more 

Michelle Bernard, one of MSNBC’s new “political analysts,” said recently:

“There is no way the super-delegates can take this away from Barack Obama. There will be race riots in the street.”

On the other hand, Michelle, “Hell has no fury like a whole bunch of women scorned.”

Can you hear us now? Count the votes already cast for Hillary in Florida and Michigan. Stop with the misogyny already and nominate the strongest and best candidate to go against McCain.

Today I have heard several radio commentators/hosts remark on how tired Obama is getting, of course, being sympathetic [it’s all her fault it’s gone on so long], but I wonder.

One even mentioned BO saying he’d been in 57 states and then, repeating 57 states again. Now that’s tired! And there is that habit he has of running home to rest even before the ballots are counted in states he lost.  Read more 

When asked by an audience member how he would respond to the claim that MSNBC officially supports BO, Matthews responded, “Well, it’s not official.” However the channel is now called MSNBO.

No surprise here. It has been violently dissing HRC and forgiving BO from the git-go. It, along with others, has soft-pedaled the Rev Wright story or barely mentioned it. All of their commentators are in the tank for BO and know that if they deviate from orders, they are out.

But there were some rays of light over in CNN. During the election coverage on NC and IN, the corporate CNN media moguls got a can of whipass truth from a couple of rams. Like MSNBO, the political “experts” are pimping for BO.  Read more 

Many of you have commented on how violent the bloggers for BO have become. Also many now see how the mean-stream media [msm] and so-called Liberal Talk, Air America Radio are in collusion.

When AAR began, it criticized the msm for its myopic, one sided presentation of the news but now they are joined at the hip, with “stars” of both being exchanged to join the celestial chorus for the Precious one, their Messiah, BO.

So anti-Hillary comments are now de rigeur on AAR as the various hosts call on her to quit for the good of the party. They are backing up in spirit and fact MSNBC’s Keith Oldermann’s calling for a hit on Senator Hillary Clinton. Yes indeed – birds of a feather flock together, you are known for the company you keep.  Read more 

The Pennsylvania Primary results threw a scare into the BO campaign and its supporters. Before, callers to talk radio and TV programs warned of “trouble” if the Super delegates chose HRC over BO.

Then the Pennsylvania exit polls showed that more than a third of the supporters of HRC would NOT vote for BO. No threats here, no mob action – just a peaceful protest for good reasons.

But on hearing that, the Obambots went ballistic. There will be terrible repercussions if HRC is the nominee.” “We will leave the Democratic Party!” “Blacks will not vote in the General election” and so on, threat after angry threat.  Read more 

How quickly things change in Obamaland. It seems like only yesterday he was claiming over and over that his words DO matter. Now he is saying that either we misunderstood what he said or that he didn’t choose the right words.

Bush needed translators to explain what his words were and the media complied; now BO, who seemingly cannot use the words to say what he means, needs the media to translate what words he meant to say.

It appeared for a while there that voters who were fed up with nearly 8 years of the malapropos and fractured syntax of Bush were opting for clarity. They thought BO spoke so clearly when he said things like, “Change” – “Yes we can”, and all his other oft repeated slogans. Then it happened.  Read more
