The Compassion Forum

Does anybody else find the whole concept of this "debate" a little odd?

The who? What now? Yer talkin' gibberish.

Sorry. The Compassion Forum. CNN is airing it right now. There's a live feed on their website, but I don't feel like touching that piece of crap right now.

Huh.

I always love the term "moral issues," aka "stuff I don't like, and so I think other people shouldn't like it either."

Fuck you, Turner Media Plugin.

She looks buttery.

Somehow it doesn't surprise me that McCain passed on a "Compassion Forum." He probably won't go to any about economics, either.

Or foreign relations.

"Sunni, Shi'ite, what's the difference?!"

Hillary Clinton "sees through a glass darkly", apparently. But does she dream of electric sheep?

Let us not forget his rather enlightening opinion of the guards who imprisoned him during the Vietnam War.

The man's a nutjob.

Well, let's just hope he won't be President.... that way he can avoid needing to know anything important.

Are you fucking kidding me? People actually want to vote for this man?

That's what I said. If there's been any TV coverage about it, I must've blinked and missed it.

BULLETIN FLAH: A lot of American voters validate their racism as a reason to vote for someone.

There WAS coverage of it, it aired eight years ago after he said it.

McCain does get a relatively free ride from the press. I should think that someone in the Asian-American community may bring it back at some point in the general election. How it's put out there (and by who, and per whatever the political currents are at the time) will probably determine how much mileage the press gives it. Though honestly, they don't determine how much press it gets. We do.

Apparently he confessed in a 60 minutes interview in 1997 that he is war criminal as well.

I'm looking forward to clips of that turning up sometime soon.

No surrender must be a joke too. I'd still consider his capture and subsequent torture pretty heroic, the guy did wait a whole 4 days before he started giving up military information in return for medical attention.

Also, two years in solitary confinement is pretty extreme. Thats probably the source of his insanity.
Prolonged solitary confinement was known to cause severe psychiatric and even physical disturbances even before the 20th century.

How did a Democratic debate suddenly shift to a bash McCain thread? Not that there is anything wrong about bashing McCain (I prefer the ones where you bash his policies not the man himself) just wondering why the thread jumped tracks... also Obamas hands freak me out since they look tiny and boney on television O_o but I wont hold that against him

Or yourself, I'd imagine.

It wasn't a Democratic debate. McCain was invited but declined.

Or worse, of unicorns?!?

oh, well its his loss since he shouldn't think he will get the religious vote just because he is Republican and this should really help the Democrats get back some of the religious voters they have been loosing lately.

I kind of liked it. McCain fucked up by not being there. It's was a real opportunity for the Dems to grab some of those Jesus folk.

Would Obama be Rick Deckard?

I put this on for about 30 seconds. The moderator asked Clinton something along the lines of "why would god make innocent people and children suffer?" WTF is that? A five year old asking questions?



Commercial over, back the the Sox game.
