Why is everything negative uttered about Obama by some random source posted here?
Edited on Tue Oct-07-08 12:57 AM by FrenchieCat
Like the St. Louis Priest who compared Obama to Hitler.
What are we supposed to do with this information?
Are we supposed to just "Know" that there are hateful people out there?
Are we supposed to show up at the church with protest signs?

I don't get it? Why do we need to know everything?

Cause it seems like everything we dig up about McCain is summarily ignored.

I'm just curious.

1. HEAR HEAR! Let's focus on constructive advice, people!!!
I want to win. I don't want McCain and Palin ANYWHERE NEAR the White House. IT is a joke. It is a joke along the lines of Harriet Meiers. Because it is so pathetic, I actually thought they would pull a bait and switch like they did with Meiers. But no....stupid fuck McCain is serious about this choice.

So let's focus our linking and researching ability on that. I don't care about ANYTHING negative regarding Obama right now. He's been our OFFICIAL DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE for well over a month. Let's get him elected. NUFF SAID.

4. I know, but it appears that some believe that it is their duty
to report any and all things printed, said, shown, emailed, and whispered about Obama. Some of it is noteworthy....but some of it is simply frankly depressing.

There is much said about John McCain....but I doubt that any of it is reported in Freeper reading rooms, although I may be wrong.

2. Well, often times we have seemingly far too many "concerned" people here of many varieties.

3. I posted that because we're trying to win Missouri and I think it's important for those of us
working in Missouri and the Midwest to know these things. But feel free to ignore it.

5. I appreciated the info. If the catholic church is allowing priests
to spew that kind of venom in church it needs to be addressed. I understand why you posted it.

8. I sent a quick email to the Archdiocese of St. Louis
expressing my hope as a Catholic that the story regarding their priest was being investigated. That's all you can do and keep it moving.

17. glad you approve.....and glad you contact MSNBC and the rest

7. Rethugs attempting to rally
and are dumping a bunch of crap that they can attempt to leach onto as lame talking points in order to avoid any actual issues.
Stuff gets freepered and people see stuff and throw it up either out of bitterness, observation, or out of dismay.

McCain is bleeding in the gutter, KICK HIS TEETH IN.
Bash their faces in and take them down!

9. I noticed that all through the primaries and I can't figure it out either
but under the guise of saying "this is what THEY are saying about US," it makes DU look like some rabid right wing blog... until you read the fine print.

14. look, you bring up every stupid thing said by all the the MSM idiots
so it's weird to see you (again) lecturing others. And it's simply untrue that everything we dig up on McCain is ignored.

15. Well, people get CONCERNED and so they must share their CONCERN
to see if anybody else gets CONCERNED over the CONCERN regarding their CONCERN.

Get it now?

:evilgrin:

16. Sunlight is the best disinfectant

The "macaca moment" in the election of Senator Webb was an opportunity to hold a mirror up to the face of ugliness that the GOP has become. VA voters didn't like what they saw there and repudiated it.
