			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><a href="http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1417423198/bctid1834283910">Who laughs at this?</a> I realize for some of you morons, your tracking and attention span may prove fleeting and unhelpful. This is a clip prepared by the american news project.  About 2/3 of the way in, you will see the crowds response to Joe Biden getting choked up as he relates his own experience of being a single father (widowed) and wondering if he and his kids will be ok.</p>
<p>There were people in the audience laughing at this.</p>
<p>What kind of trash laughs at this?  Who are you people?  I actually got choked up, as did my wife.  To be honest, at that point in time, there were few people on this earth that I had more respect for.</p>
<p>You laugh at this man?  Do you laugh because you are incapable of empathizing? Did I miss the joke here?</p>
<p>Seriously.  I want to know.</p>
<p>Is it because your ideology is more important than human decency? Is your ideo(path)ology so overwhelming that inappropriate laughter is your only response?</p>
<p>What was so FUCKING FUNNY?  I want to know.  I want to know which one of you toothless, fat, slobbering troglodytes would choose to laugh at the notion that Joe Biden (or ANYONE) would have a moment of pain and fear when considering his situation after the loss of his wife in a horrific car accident.</p>
<p>Which one of you cowards has the gonads to lay it on me.  Admit that you are sick, explain why it is that demogoguery outweighs human compassion.  Why do you laugh at Joe Bidens tears, you sick little puke?</p>
<p>How sad that you would cheer for Sarah Palins lack of acknowledgement as she droned on into another one of her notecards about being mavericky and a reformer, as she hides from legally issued and enforced subpoenaes and abdicates her governorship to the McCain campaign.</p>
<p>How sad that you cheer division, pain and suffering.</p>
<p>How ironic that you have no message or plan other than hate and lie in your bid to bring honor and dignity to the white house.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Anyone know what I&#8217;m talking about?</p>
<p>Sure you do.</p>
<p>Im talking about the 2008 Presidential campaign.</p>
<p>Are you going to admit that you know WHO I am talking about?</p>
<p>Does your mom need to read this to you?</p>
<p>If you are wondering who I am talking about, then I call you a liar and a cynic.  Dont bother reading the rest of the post.  You are too far gone.</p>
<p>For those of you who (even relunctantly) admit to understand what I am talking about, then you have acknowledged that John McCain is currently running the sleaziest campaign in &#8220;modern history&#8221;.  Dont take my word for it, go ahead and read here: <a href="http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/12/1382169.aspx"></a></p>
<p>Some of the truly mouth breathing jackasses will scream &#8220;liberal media&#8221;.  If the Washington Post, Associated Press and Los Angeles Times is too liberal for you, perhaps you would prefer Bill O&#8217;Reilly who attacks McCains sleazy ads.</p>
<p>At some point I have to wonder if people are just plain stupid.</p>
<p>But I think its actually 2 kinds of people.</p>
<p>1.  Cynics &#8211; you are the people that know its all bullshit but no one cares as long as they win.  They are devoid of any honor, integrity or ethics, yet you are people who stake a claim on ethics and honor.  You are typically beneficiary of legislation and or tax rules that benefit you.</p>
<p>2.  Idiots &#8211; You can also be referred to as Ignorant. Idiots can be subcategorized as well. You arent in the tax bracket of the cynics, but you so desperately wish you were.  You are most likely culture warriors.  You are anti-choice, you believe that fairy tales should be taught (or even debated) in public school science classes, you think abstinence will make the problem of teenage pregnancy go away and the most extreme of you think that the constitution should be abolished in lieu of biblical rule.</p>
<p>To one extent or another, you also believe in many of the following:</p>
<p>Gay couples do not deserve the same legal status as a straight married couple</p>
<p>The pledge of allegiance was written (and recited) by our founding fathers in its current form (with the &#8220;under God&#8221; part)</p>
<p>Science is bad (all or part).  Examples would be stem cell research, space exploration that may lead to discovery of extraterrestrial live and of course evolution (See Fairy Tales earlier).</p>
<p>That the United States is a &#8220;Christian Nation&#8221;.</p>
<p>Al Quaeda was in Iraq before 9/11 and had Saddam Hussains assistance in the 9/11 attacks.</p>
<p>The War on Terror began in and will end in Iraq</p>
<p>Democrats (all liberals) are bad. It is your core belief that Communism is a tiny step away from being liberal.</p>
