1. 35 thousand watched an historic speech!! And to see their next president!!!

John McCain Stands NO CHANCE against this!!


GOBAMA!!!

[workinclasszero]

4. Yeah lets see Gramps McWar get a crowd that size (nt)

[Zachstar]

5. He will not. For McWar flips flops all over the place.

I think if we work VERY hard Obama can win by a landslide come november! And hopefully landslides in most of the congressional contests!!

[workinclasszero]

7. I agree!

A democratic LANDSLIDE! Think about that...

WOW! We can change this nation and bring her back to greatness for ALL of the people!

I cant wait till Obama is officially declared the nominee. Then we can really go after the reich wing rethugs that have destroyed the American dream for so many.

[CADEMOCRAT7]

50. Smiling

Thanks, you made me smile :)

[rzemanfl]

10. Can I plagiarize "Gramps McWar?" I really like that. n/t

[workinclasszero]

12. You bet, be my guest :-) (nt)

[rzemanfl]

21. Thank you. eom

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

28. Sprinkle liberally into all your conversations.

:)

[rzemanfl]

32. That would make me a liberal, wouldn't it? n/t

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

34. Don't you mean: That would make me a liberal, wouldn't it, Gramps McWar? n/t

[rzemanfl]

39. Yes, My bad. n/t

[JPZenger]

45. Too bad CNN Headline Ignored the Rally this morning

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/4/19/111221/855

I was amazed that there was no coverage of the rally this morning on CNN Headline. They also didn't provide any coverage of the 22,000 person Penn State/State College PA rally. Instead, CNN kept repeating a story this morning about how all the old people in PA don't like change, based upon the opinions of one old couple who are supporting Hillary.

[Hope And Change]

2. K & R!

:kick:

[boobooday]

3. amazing photo

Thanks for posting. What a great speech, too!

[Double T]

6. People that attend rallies are a SMALL MINORITY.

The SILENT MAJORITY will decide AGAINST the unaccomplished, incompetent obama.

[rzemanfl]

8. Oh, please...why don't you go worship at Spiro Agnew's grave?

Hillary couldn't get that many people to come and see her if she gave out door prizes and bobble-head dolls.

14. Silent Majority?

There are 50k registered to vote in the democratic Primary in that area.

Think about the math before you crap on other people's topics.

[AllentownJake]

18. incompetent?

I think he's run a pretty good campaign. It took Hillary a week to demote her bloated chief advisor who had screwed up everything for her and embarrassed her with Columbia. She should have fired that fool after Iowa or Super Tuesday.

Has trouble firing loyal people for extreme incompetence...who does that remind you of?

[C_U_L8R]

20. You obviously aren't from Philly

Filling Independence Mall is HUGE !!!!!! It's historic.


Not to mention the spontaneous rallies across town.

[rzemanfl]

23. Great pic! Not this time, this time is going to be different. n/t

[Zachstar]

40. Wow those videos were awesome!!!

Obama will likely win Philly! Perhaps he can also win Pittsburgh and maybe PA!!

[Binka]

25. The Silent Majority? Oh You Mean The Klan.

Very bigoted of you. You are going to be such an unhappy fool when January comes around. I will be doing the happy dance knowing you will be grinding teeth.

[Double T]

52. Put your race card back in your pocket. I don't give a damn WHAT race BO is or isn't.

It's about a candidate that can't even manage the top of his desk or a Senate Committee; BO will only screw up the nation further.

[onenote]

26. oh boy, now we're going nixonian?

wtf has happened to this place?

[Double T]

53. Sanity OVER manipulated mob mentallity excitement.

[roseBudd]

31. Yeah because attending a rally is so much easier than spending 5 minutes voting between 6am-7pm on

a Tues. in Nov. or mailing an absentee ballot at your leisure. Rallies take negative 5 minutes.

The incompetent Obama has run a better campaign than the supposedly competent Hillary. Things that make you go Hmmm.

[goclark]

44. Where was HC last night ~ sitting back and counting

the absentee ballots with Rove I bet.


That would make a Rally of 2 people.

[Arugula Latte]

46. If he's incompetent why is he beating Hillary?

[Double T]

55. manipulated caucuses and open primaries.

[TragedyandHope]

9. GOBAMA!

[Tactical Progressive]

11. To anyone but Obama cultists caught in their own throes of celebrity worship

the irony is as thick as maple syrup. Experienced, mature, reasoning people can only shake their heads at the political naivite of Obama idolizers.

Obama, in his no-doubt fully telepromptered naturalness, giving an *absolutely perfect description* of himself:
"in every election, politicians come to your cities and your towns, and they tell you what you want to hear..."

And his acolytes have *literally no idea* that they've just been setup by the quintessential political pander.

'How many times, how many times ladies and gentlemen, have you heard people come here and promise you the elixir that will cure all ills? My friends, have their products ever lived up to those claims? Of course they have not. What I have here is something so new, so completely different, that even those claims pale ......'

Obama is the textbook definition of a con artist.

[cali]

15. lol. could you be any bitterer? you pontificate about immature and

yet your post embodies it. It's filled with nothing but silly and bitter.

:rofl:

[Zachstar]

17. We need to stop replying to posts like his.

The right button is not the post reply button. Its the one that sends an email elseware.

[book_worm]

16. still on the cultist kick, huh? it says a lot about a losing campaign

when its supporters continue to insult the winning campaigns supporters.

[TragedyandHope]

19. You gain nothing by insulting

all the experienced, mature, reasoning Obama supporters. And if Obama offends your sensibilities, I can't imagine where you suggest we look for your mythical, wonderful alternative candidate. There sure ain't one in this race.

[saltpoint]

22. Durn tootin. All those dumb-asses who showed up to hear him, why,

they ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Worse yet, they'll probably all VOTE in the primary.

Does democracy suck, or what?

[rzemanfl]

24. Thanks a lot, now you are going to have me picking my brain

all day to try and remember who used to say "durn tootin'." I know it was way before "damn straight."

[TahitiNut]

42. Gabby Hayes

pick brain no longer :silly:

[rzemanfl]

48. Thanks! Now I can just feel, really, really old. n/t

[onenote]

27. yep, Sam Nunn, Bill Richardson. Ted Kennedy: cultists

Inexperienced, immature, unreasoning people.

Silly silly silly.

[Zachstar]

38. Hopefully it will be over soon...

GOBAMA!!

30. here`s an exclusive photo outside the event

yes obama supporters are zombies who eat the brains of unsuspecting people...




hillary`s super super secret delegate to the rescue?




yes only she can rescue hillary`s campaign from obama and his zombie thrill kill cult

[Zachstar]

37. Way to bring supporters to clinton eh? Calling them zombies...

[roseBudd]

33. "Obama is the textbook definition of a con artist" and you know this for a fact because? Link please

and supporting evidence of con artist activities. Ponzi scheme?

[CakeGrrl]

47. "Con Artist" = "Man who gets people to vote for someone besides HRC"

It's more code. That "Slick" "Con Artist" Obama has tricked all those gullible voters into voting against poor, poor, hardworking, honest Hillary.

:eyes:

[stillcool]

36. yeah!! Dissing 40,000 Americans!

You should have your own television show. With your ignorant, arrogant, self-righteousness you would fit right in!!

[ecstatic]

35. Wow!!! And that post is just shy of 2000 comments!

GOBAMA!

[powergirl]

41. Rally - those don't matter. Too many people

too crowded. That doesn't mean anything - like polls that support Obama. :sarcasm:

[Withywindle]

51. Nobody goes to Obama rallies anymore - they're too crowded.

to paraphrase the great Yogi Berra. :D

[JPZenger]
