Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

oh, so a comedian making jokes about palin is out of bounds, but defaming woody allen by making false claims about "screwing his 14 year old daughter" is ok.
"best known for divorcing his daughter's mother"? you mean like the republican candidate for pres who must also be "best known for divorcing his daughter's mother"?
don't know about you, but woody allen is best known to me by his 3 academy awards, his 18 academy award nominations,and dozens of other awards for his woks.
wow. I'd say what a joke, but it's not funny. it's ridiculous

Not according to his son.
Quote:
Woody Allen's son has slammed his father - saying he can never forgive him for marrying his own adopted daughter.
Seamus Farrow has branded the film director "immoral" after he married Soon-Yi Previn, who Allen's ex-lover, Mia Farrow, adopted when she was seven years old.
Seamus, Allen's only biological son with Mia, said: "He's my father married to my sister. That makes me his son and his brother-in-law. That is such a moral transgression. I cannot see him. I cannot have a relationship with my father and be morally consistent."
Allen, who is 35 years older than Soon-Yi, justifies his relationship with his young wife on the grounds that she is not his real daughter.
But Seamus, 18, has blasted that justification, saying that it is an "insult" to other children who have been adopted.
He said: "I lived with all these adopted children, so they are my family. To say Soon-Yi was not my sister is an insult to all adopted children."
Mia adopted Soon-Yi with ex-husband Andre Previn in 1980 but they split soon after and Mia began her relationship with Allen.
However, they broke-up in 1992 when she found nude photographs of Soon-Yi, then 19, on the mantelpiece of Allen's Manhattan apartment.
Mia has never forgiven Allen for the affair, once saying: "It was such a sense of betrayal. Soon-Yi was a kid on the streets of Korea. She was seven when Woody met her."

I guess this is a "weak argument". Nice to see a newspaper wake up to "theMessiah".

Quote:
Obama in the mud: So much for honesty
When Barack Obama first began campaigning in New Hampshire in early 2007, many voters swooned. We watched him speak to retirees in Claremont one snowy February day that year. Not a single voter we talked with before he spoke planned to vote for him. Afterwards, many said they would. The word that spontaneously came from the lips of multiple attendees: sincere. They couldn't remember a politician who spoke with such sincerity, they said. And many of them had been voting since World War II.
We wonder what those same voters think of Obama's sincerity now. In the past few weeks, Obama has thrown so many false accusations against John McCain that just keeping track of them has become difficult. And these aren't innocent errors. They are deliberate distortions of the sort Obama has always said he reviles.
On Thursday, Obama said of McCain, "He has consistently opposed the sorts of common-sense regulations that might have lessened the current crisis." That's entirely untrue.
As The Washington Post pointed out in an editorial on Friday, McCain in fact has supported many new regulations of financial institutions, including some that Obama opposed. "In 2006, he pushed for stronger regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- while Mr. Obama was notably silent," The Post wrote.
Obama attacked McCain for having a top financial advisor who supported a deregulation bill a few years ago. Yet two top Obama financial advisors, with whom he met on Friday to help him form his response to the current troubles on Wall Street, supported the same bill, which was signed by President Clinton.
Also last week, Obama released a Spanish-language ad that portrayed McCain as anti-immigrant and anti-Hispanic and tried to link him to immigration policies that were not his own as well as some choice Rush Limbaugh quotes that appeared to insult Mexicans.
Anyone who has followed the immigration debate knows that McCain is the most pro-immigration Republican on the national stage and that he is not in the least anti-Hispanic. To pull quotes from Rush Limbaugh, who has completely different immigration views than McCain and who opposed him on that issue for years (and still does) is completely disingenuous. The ad is so bad that even The New York Times called it "misleading."
Obama's campaign also accused McCain of lying when McCain's campaign ran an ad saying that Obama supported sex education for kindergarteners. But the bill in question, which Obama supported in the Illinois state Senate, did indeed change state law to allow sex education for kindergarteners.
Obama has said that he won't attack John McCain's motives, only his policies. But he has repeatedly attacked McCain's motives, suggesting that he has been bought off by oil companies and lobbyists.
Obama's greatest strength as a candidate, aside from his oratorical skill, has long been his apparent sincerity and decency. Voters attracted to him think of him as that rarest of things: an honest politician. He has claimed himself that he would never engage in the sort of deceptive politicking that he says has tainted Washington for so long.
Yet here he is violating his own professed standards. This is not the Barack Obama so many voters in New Hampshire and elsewhere thought they knew. But it is the real Barack Obama. For despite his rhetoric, he is in fact campaigning so dishonestly that even The Washington Post and The New York Times have called him on it. Which means that he is in practice no different from those regular politicians against whom his entire campaign has been built.

You are correct. he may not have been screwing her, just planning to. This guy is a sleaze..
Quote:
Polaroids
Public knowledge of the rupture between Woody Allen and Mia Farrow coincided with reports of an affair between Mr. Allen and Soon-Yi Previn, Ms. Farrow's 21-year-old adoptive daughter. Briefly: On Jan. 13, 1992, just weeks after Mr. Allen had adopted two of Ms. Farrow's younger children, Ms. Farrow discovered on a mantle at Mr. Allen's apartment six Polaroid photographs of (as she describes them) ''a naked woman with her legs spread wide apart.'' The woman was Soon-Yi, the daughter Ms. Farrow had adopted from a Korean orphanage in 1977 while married to Mr. Previn.
The upheaval following the discovery of the photographs was marked by vindictiveness on both sides. Ms. Farrow claimed that Mr. Allen had long been focusing inappropriate sexual attention on their 7-year-old adoptive daughter Dylan. He claimed that her accusation was inspired by vengeance, not fact. She sent him ''a family picture Valentine with skewers through the hearts of the children'' and hung a sign on his bathroom door that read ''Child Molester.'' He continued to see Soon-Yi without conceding that his involvement with her was morally suspect. All of it was ugly and it made great television.

Does this mean that under the "Fairness Doctrine" that next week we would get a skit about Odumba having sex with his daughters?

your mind reading abilities are very unique.....
btw a judge determined there was no sexual contact by woody allen and the 19 year old woman in question.
and again, there is still NO credibility, not one iota, to the accusation that you are a party in furthering, that woody allen is guilty of "screwing his 14 year old daughter".
slease is making baseless accusations about people. slease is repeating false attacks as fact.
and you never answered if, just like the article you posted, we should always refer to john mccain as being "best known for divorcing his daughter's mother", because you know it is true, both woody allen and john mccain divorced the mother of their daughters.
if we're led to believe it is important to mention it in regard to woody, shouldn't we also mention it in regard to john mccain?

I have enjoyed comedians over the years, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, George Carlin, Brad Stine, Carlos Mencia...but Sandra Bernhard has always been lame.
She thinks that using foul language is funny...there is not content in her so-called humor. She thinks that name calling is funny...she is a legen in her own mind.
She is not funny, she is just vulgar and her brand of humor is...well, ummm...NOT Funny.
Tina Fay...she's funny, heck, the majority of the SNL folks over the years have been funny, poking fun at any and all Dems or Reps.
Sandra Bernhard is a woman with anger issues who doesn't know how to express herself, but rather lashes out in desperation.
If one is to do comedy by being insulting, then insult all, not just a select few.
Sorry Mavdog, but that link was worthless and only goes to show how far in left field some of this stuff really is. It's as if the Dems are the party of HATE!!!

I wonder if they would do the same skit...only with Obama...What about Obama's Daughters, surely Obama must be doing them, after all he's in Chicago. After all there is no evidence to the rumor or in contradiction to the rumor.
Either way you look at this, it is sick and unjust...beit against Palin or against Obama...it's plain sick and there is no need for it period.
Yet, for some reason, a segment of the press and other entertainment entities seem to think it's fair to only make fun of Palin on a regular basis.
The sick part is the so-called humor...the sicker part is the very fact that these people have a significant influence over some voters.

first, I agree there was no humour in the skit. it was tasteless.
(as an aside, there is truly very little humour in most of the snl skits...)
second, the skit was making fun of the ny times, trying to show just what they will do to get a story. it parallels what the conservatives have been screaming about for years.
third, I doubt that snl has "a signifigant influence over some voters". it's a comedy show isn't it?

I watched that SNL skit Saturday night. Of course it's ludicrous to suggest that Mr. Palin is sleeping with his daughter....that was the point. The media was the butt of the joke in that skit...not Palin.
Edit: Mavdog beat me to it...I agree it wasn't particularly funny.

though SNL didn't bash Palin pretty hard last Sat...without making fun of Obama at all. Probably something like 12+ Palin Jokes to 0 Obama jokes.
sure they made fun of Hilary...but she is out.

Thanks for bringing this one up.
I find that I am FOR privatizing my social security. Even going so far as to be willing to be the generation that sacrifices a bit more in order to ensure that future generations will have 100% private accounts.
IMHO, the seniors who are currently retired, should receive the benefits as has been promised to them throughout their lives.
Those getting ready to retire should also be covered...honestly, I'm only 40 years of age and thus I believe my generation is the perfect starting point. As much as I would like for 100% of my Social Security to go to a private account, I understand that there are some who retire before that will need my social security income to survive, thus allow me to volutarily sign up for a plan that keeps my current social security for the current plan, but allows me to invest into my private account as a percentage with incramental growth.
At the same time, putting a road map so that when my sons, who are now 17 and 18 can have their social security going completely to their own private accounts. The Fed does NOT need the social security from 17 and 18 years olds...let them begin to invest in their own future retirement and allow private accounts to be transferred as the individual sees fit in a will or some other transfer document.
Social Security is a broken system and regardless of how politicians use it to scar retired folks, it's time, if not way past time to change how the system works.
Private Social Security is a win-win for everyone as we become individually responsible for our own golden years...heck, had I had this when i was 16 and started working, I would have several hundred thousand dollars in my account...as it is now, I have ZERO in my account.
This seems like an easy no brainer, but for some reason some politicians chose to avoid doing something good for the American People.
This is yet another solution that John McCain was correct in supporting!!!

I'll admit to only being 40, but in my lifetime I have never read a nonpartisan independant analysis or a nonpartisan poster --- everyone has their own agenda.

At least Odumba is true to his belief that the government is better at helping the poor & downtrodden than friends or family

Any Argument Against Barack Obama Is By Definition Racist
Filed under: 2008 Election, General, Race — Patterico @ 12:56 pm
Did you know that it’s racist to argue that Barack Obama should not be President?
It’s true!
We know this, because we’re told that:
* It’s racist to point out the connection between Barack Obama and a white man — who happens to be a terrorist.
* It’s racist to point out the similarity between Barack Obama and two white women — who are famous for being celebrities.
* It’s racist to point out the connection between Barack Obama and a black man — who happens to have run Fannie Mae.
* It’s racist to point out the connection between Barack Obama and a black woman — who happens to be his wife, and who said she wasn’t really proud of America until her husband was nominated.

It's not that you're racist against Obama so much as you're racist against Muslims by continually mentioning "Hussein" in a negative connotation...
But at least you're finally coming out of the closet about being a racist (because the words you choose to post in this forum clearly define you as a racist, no matter how you actually feel in your heart-of-hearts on the matter...)

Yeah and if you vote against Palin, you're a sexist.
They've won. The house is split and we will fall.

LMAO!!!!! I was sure thinking the same thing. I did not say it, but he admitted it, so now we all know where he stands. Did someone urge him to come out of the closet or what? I know I have maybe knee jerked a bit in the past, but clearly this was an unexpected admission.

Is there a problem with a black person voting for a candidate being of the same mind that just so happens to look like them?
Do you think blacks would be voting overwhelmingly for Alan Keyes (If you dont know who that is just google it and it will come up) if he were running on the Republic ticket? No.
Black people do not vote simply based on color, facts and data shows that blacks vote based on the issues. Sen. Obama’s platform has resonated with black and white people throughout this country. So to imply that a demographic who has historically voted overwhelmingly for WHITE democratic candidates is suddenly racist when that support is extended to the nominee of the same party, who just happens to be “black” is absurd and illogical. Do you agree on this?

Worth repeating.
It's disgusting that this racism is tolerated.

Also, it's kinda sad that our mods have no qualms with some of the obvious racism on this site (as long as it's not directed at another poster), yet they're totally going to edit me when I say the word "f**" - apparently "free speech" depends on your political leanings around here...
(I wonder if they'll edit just that one word or if my entire post will be nixed?)

You're not seriously pulling the free speech card. You're more intelligent than that.

I'm a fairly socially liberal person, but I'm not going to edit someone's thoughts just because I disagree with them.
And if you're going to drop an f-bomb in your post just to make the point that you're going to be edited, I'm going to edit it.

No way Mary. You don't mod in accordance with UD's view of how things should be modded, how can you possibly share common political views?

I knew Mary was going to edit me - she's the only mod not voting for McCain! (which totally ruined my trap, but I still stand by my point...)
I have yet to see a racist post get edited on this site...
[and racism stems far beyond the "N-word"...]

Are you telling me there's a correct way I can use the F-word and not get edited?
(the point being that a harmless word draws more attention than a racist post...)

Oh, so you guys actually received my string of complaints a while back but just chose to ignore them?
I love when the fox guards the hen house!
