8. Nothing True about it
Any time the going gets rough, the Hillbots bring up race. Interesting

5. I remember some comments on DU about the Bush twins campaigning....
I hope no one who said something slanderous about the Bush twins is upset about the comments David Schuster made.

9. If it was said here, it wasn't said on national television...
...you have to show a little restarint and try not to be offensive.

10. But Obama doesn't pimp out his daughters like Hillary does
He has kept his daughters sheltered and largely away from the campaign trail. Chelsea is at voting precincts on election day breaking numerous laws, for which she should've been arrested for.

27. Oh good grief, Obama's daughters
are what? 8 and 6 years old? The situation is hardly comparable, and FYI, Bill and Hillary Clinton were fiercely protective of Chelsea when she was a little girl, keeping her completely out of the public eye, very much as Jackie Kennedy did with Caroline and John Jr.

However, Chelsea Clinton is now 27, and perfectly capable of making decisions for herself. And I don't know where you got that silly charge that Chelsea "is at voting precincts on election day, breaking numerous laws..." Do you have a link for that?

I wonder too how you'd have reacted if Schuster had made a similar crack about Karenna Gore? The MSM hated and mocked Al Gore almost as much as they do Hillary Clinton. So would that have been all right with you? How about John Kerry's daughters? The MSM didn't like him much either, you know.

In fact, they generally don't like any Democrat--except Obama. Kind of strange, that. Do you figure the corporate media has suddenly turned progressive?

32. He has them at his rallies occasionally and the Edwards had their kids at
rallies often. If Shuster had said the Edwards and Obama's were "pimping their kids" for a photo op...wouldn't that be inappropriate? What about if he said the Bush twins were pimping for their Dad or the Romney boys were pimping?

11. pimp = black people right?
Nah... like I said before... MTV has a show called "pimp my ride". There is a video game of the same name. It's very popular slang, not shock slang, not loaded slang.

I don't expect everyone to get it.

Black youths, white youths... we all use it.

17. So that excuses the behavior? shrug all you want but "pimping out" is offensive.
Hopefully no one will ever say that about your daughter.
