Obama/Edwards '08?

I keep fantasizing about my dream ticket. txrad predicted last year we would have a Clinton/Edwards ticket and I would certainly have gone for that. But a Edwards/Clinton ticket would be far more palatable.

Now that we in entering a right-wing freak-out mode over the possibility of a Osama bin Laden Saddam Hussein Barack Obama nomination, complete with email smears circulating and other negative tactics being put into play, I'm having second third fourth thoughts.

My brother forwarded me an email he received. It's one of those nasty chain e-mails intended to inject fear and prejudice, and basically smear the shit of out the most-feared candidate. And you guessed it, it's directed squarely at that half-white guy from Illinois.

OBAMA'S BACKGROUND CHECK !!!!!!
If you do not ever forward anything else, please forward this to
all your contacts...this is very scary to think of what lies ahead of us
here in our own United States...better heed this and pray about it and
share it.

If I were the praying type, I'd pray for these stupid assholes to seek mental health counseling, which is a far nicer thing to say than what I first typed and then deleted because it would be cruel to inflict my gut-desires on their inbred offspring. It's a damn good thing they have the Muslim issue to rail against, otherwise they'd have to resort to just plain old racism. And that's soooo ... 2007.

Who is Barack Obama?
Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu , Hawaii , to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel , Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHIEST from Wichita, Kansas. Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii. When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia.? When Obama was! 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia . Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta . He also spent two years in a Catholic school.

Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, "He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school."

Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education.

Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta

Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background. ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran.

Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy..

The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States, one of their own!!!!

Please forward to everyone you know. Would you want this man leading our country?...... NOT ME!!!

Yes, please forward to everyone you know. Because we need to know who the stupid pricks are. Personally, this is all it would take to strike a name from my list of "friends."

I was going to highlight all the keywords in red, but since the author of this asshattery put those in CAPS, it saves me some time.

These nutbags are obsessed with Obama's middle name being Hussein, and they use it as often as possible in their warped craving to cast Obama as a {ahem} dark demon. Christ, I wish the Republican nominee's middle name would be Hinckley. Because it's the same issue: irfuckingrelevant.

It's gotten to the point where I almost prefer a nominee on the Democratic side who is going to cause the biggest meltdown of the lunatic fringe whackjobs who circulate this bullshit. Perhaps they would suffer mental breakdowns rendering them incapable of thinking (they seem to have surpassed that level already), speaking or writing. That would also be a much-needed positive change for the country.
