These people going off the deep end about Spitzer will have no answers...
for the Farrakhan Factor once *that* machine is cranked up and rolling. I've said it quite often: DU has a tremendous capacity for myopia...BO supporters are the very most myopic within the malady that continues here at DU as: myopia

my·o·pi·a

1. Ophthalmology. a condition of the eye in which parallel rays are focused in front of the retina, objects being seen distinctly only when near to the eye; nearsightedness (opposed to hyperopia).
2. lack of foresight or discernment; obtuseness.
3. narrow-mindedness; intolerance.

9. I saw a woman huffing over semantics and a man giving her what
she wanted. Two words formulating denunciation and not one. she looked petty.

16. It was like pulling teeth. Don't kid yourself that anyone was fooled by him, except
those that already are.

25. oh please. He disavowed him. When it hillary going to ... excuse

7. Denounced it after the fact that he was given a special honor
at BO's radical church. If BO know it was a radical church and the pastor was thick with Farrkhan why did he continue to attend. If he wants to be a president for all the people why not go to a church that is open to all. The longer this plays out the more is going to come out about BO. Face it, he's NO SAINT.

21. Doesn't matter. The Pukes will still run with it. And it will work.
It will work because the public has the attention span of a gnat.

18. I think the only thing she needs to 'reject' is his conduct in the particulars of this revelation
Edited on Mon Mar-10-08 03:35 PM by bigtree
more to 'reject' with Farrakan.

She might just comment on how sad it all is, such a brilliant career down the tubes.

13. She needs to denounce prostitution as well
Or else I will assume as far as I know that she endorses prostitution by default.

8. "These people"
Well I'm sorry if my support for Obama makes me one of "these people". I could care less who endorsed who, that goes for both Hillary and Obama, but Spitzer was supposed to be defending the law not breaking it. He was wrong, he's out end of story. If "you people" want to claim that "these people" are using this against Hillary then you should have kept your mouths shut about Farrakhan. I personally don't give a rats ass who endorses who, unless it's a Democrat endorsing a republican. That's when I have a problem.

12. Are you off the deep end about Spitzer? Are you on the verge of declaring HRC just another...
broodmare in his stable? Yeah? Then yes you are, deal with it, you are one of *those* people. Louis Farrakhan, what's wrong with his endorsement? Why are you so upset? It's out there, and it's coming your way in the GE. You need to have your head all the way around it. That fact that it is not is the extent to which your view is myopic; only being able to see what is right in front of you therefore thank you for making my point.

I get a big picture of you telling the Israel to shut her mouth, yeah...riiiight

20. LOL.. Yeah if you consider holding Democrats
to the same or higher standards than I hold Republicans then yes I am off the "deep-end". The only thing that upsets me is being accused of things like "telling THE ISRAEL to shut up. What the fuck does that even mean? Then follow that with the false accusation that I am about to declare Hillary "another broodmare" in his stable? What the fuck does that mean? What does she have to do with Spitzer?

If anyone is going off the deep end it's you.

24. Predictable BO supporter retort #17, "If anyone is going off the deep end it's you"
Good job, you've learned your lesson well :thumbsup: If you don't know...the ways in which Judaism has been discounted by one of BO's endorsements? Then you have no idea the specific gravity of your own vote, and no...

I am not going to break it down for you Barney Style, it's your vote. That is your function. Cast it from within a state of un-knowing as you will.

It is your constitutional right to do so.

26. I'm sorry, but uh.. in case you hadn't noticed...
it was you who made the "deep-end" claim.

My support for Obama started 5 days ago when Hillary made her McCain comment. Up till then I had been staying out of the fight and I sent money to both candidates. Sorry if the person you support pushed me into the other camp. Better luck next time. Oh and please, I don't mind a debate but saying I'm off the deep end, and then accusing me of being some kind of sheep because I threw it back in your face is pretty pathetic. If your candidate had not "stated the facts" about the Republican being a better choice for president then I'd still be sending her money. I'll still be voting for her if she wins the nom. But she'll never get another dime from me.

28. None of you BO supporters are even watching this board now are you?
You only come here and seek out, like Pacmen & women, those threads that cast your guy into some other light than you'd care to see him basking within. Admit it! You care less when your very own eats HRC supporters.

Come on, you have no interest in balance :rofl:

"her McCain comment"? Puh-lease, if your vote is that ethereal, you may change it a couple times thence

Edited on Mon Mar-10-08 05:19 PM by walldude
lately I only come in because I am "one of them"... good luck with your paranoid delusions.

and honestly, if all Hillary supporters are as holier than thou as you are then I believe I made the right choice.

27. No it's not OK. If that's the way you feel, then you should be over in the dozens...
of threads attempting to tie HRC directly, or indirectly, into the Spitzer moment of the day. And I have already asked you Ms. Vapid, if you weren't watching this board, your answer seems clear now...clearly you are not. Delineations are attempting to be made between HRC and no-less than the quality of her endorsements ala Spitzer by BO supporters. So while you may seek a cat fight between you & myself, it isn't you & me. It's not even between me and BO supporters.

It's between BO supporters and the rest of the world. In that only they feel entitled by this high road they claim; to poke everyone else in the eye carte blanche.

Hold it if you'd care to, but that is a stupid position

31. Give it up... have you been reading her "posts"?
She's all about any Obama supporter is a psycho.. Even if, and I want to make myself very clear even if they do say JEHOVA!
Hehe, actually it's even if you are going to vote for Hillary if she wins the nom, that's not enough Ms paranoid delusional, you must bow at the alter of Hillary or you are an Obamaton, Obamaite, Obamanoid, sheep, or what was it she called you? Ms Vapid? whatever.

17. I don't believe that Farrakan, or any supporters not officially aligned with the campaign
. . . should not be included in our judgments of the candidates themselves based just on an endorsement.

32. They don't realise that Obama and Spitzer went to Harvard
...and therefore Obama is a sex criminal.

Actually time to stop the 'funny' stuff. The stuff people post in all seriousness is so way out there that it is hard to even attempt humor. Best not tried. So - am telling self off. Silly self.

Hence BO's Farrakhan endorsement means just what? I am interested in your perspective here
