Pfleger and GDP: peas in a pod?
This quote from the Trib got me thinking about some of the behavior we see around here:

Not only did we see Pfleger parodying Clinton, which made one statement. But the parishioners behind him, jumping up and down in resounding agreement, made quite another.

Because Pfleger is an outspoken supporter of Sen. Barack Obama, the senator was forced to respond: "As I have traveled this country, I've been impressed not by what divides us, but by all that unites us," Obama said in a statement. "That is why I am deeply disappointed in Father Pfleger's divisive, backward-looking rhetoric."

As many have noted, this sort of deal is counterproductive, and given that the corporate media will amplify ANYTHING remotely negative that relates to a Democrat, seems to me its a good idea to keep in mind that how supporters act does reflect back onto the campaign.

5. Yeah that woman and her purple heart band-aid
really reflected badly on Bush.

You guys are sick and desperate. He was right and this country is too chicken-shit to say so.
