3. I agree...K and R....Keith exposes..
the sleazy polarization and ugly racist garbage of the Mc Cain Campaign..and in the end...asks ...Where are you Mr. Mc Cain?..

28. McLame
So......when McLame does lose, what becomes of him? Not that I personally care, because I don't. But, in the bigger picture, is he to be taken seriously about anything anymore? He's no "maverick". He's become anything the Repukes want him to be so they can do "whatever it takes" to steal an election. I don't think so this time, but I'm still miffed about '00 and '04, bigtime. Keep in mind, Rove may be out of the White House, but you can be sure he's in this up to his eyebrows and has a big suprise in store. I have no idea what it is, but NEVER, ever count the Repukes out as long as Rove walks this planet. And we're done with our subscription to Newsweek, seeing that they've hired that traitor as a freelance writer. What a treasonous, turd with legs. But...I digress. Really... I hope McLame ends up in the dustbin of history now that he's sullied his once half-decent reputation. Hell, he even folded on torture!!!

2. Whoa
Keith is telling it like it is--and really defining WHY so many Republicans, famous and unknown, are voicing their support of Obama. They can't take the lunacy of hated and lies any more.

11. One of my primary goals in life
is to never have Keith address me as "Sir." When he calls someone "Sir," or "Madam," he's seriously ticked.

18. It is the same tone
an enlisted man will use when addressing an officer he doesn't like. Almost makes "Sir" sound like a bad word.

5. He took the high road there
the short sided response is to point out that the Republicans are actually trying to erase the Constitution and rewrite in some Ayn Rand fantasy piece.

16. He does! KO says very powerful things and uses an advanced vocabulary.
Edited on Tue Oct-21-08 12:20 AM by Mind_your_head
He should speak a bit slower so that we can understand/flesh it out better. He doesn't have to speak so quickly....he already has an audience who "won't go away" very easily.

My 2 cents,
M_Y_H

on edit: not all of his listeners consider 'english as their first language' AND many amurikans have a limited vocabulary ~ no thanks to NCLB :eyes:

19. Indeed, if you don't concentrate
on what he's saying, it's hard to follow him at times, but he certainly is spot on every time. He might get his message to more people if he spoke a little more simply, as you said, for the people with a more limited vocabulary. KO, I love you.

22. Ah, the world of tv timetables.
Would you rather he spoke slower and made fewer points, or kept up his pace to get everything he wants to say into the program's scheduled time?

This is why we have YouTube! :)

32. ....meh
I think he's kind of annoying. The things he says a real and usually pretty accurate, but he is pretty abrasive. Everything that comes out of his mouth sounds completely rehearsed or read off of a teleprompter.

37. Nice first post
You contradict yourself SIR.

"The things he says a(re) real and usually pretty accurate"

"Everything that comes out of his mouth sounds completely rehearsed or read off of a teleprompter"

Don't you freeper trolls even know how to piece together a logically framed smear?


and BTW, what he says is probably rehearsed AND read off of a teleprompter. What's your point? He wrote the damn thing.

23. K & R
Keith really nails it...as usual. :applause::patriot:

You know...I'm wondering if McCain doesn't have a 'scorched earth' strategy in this fustercluck of a campaign...

He's going down, he knows it and resents it with 'the passion of 10,000 burning suns (or however that phrase goes)'...so he's going to leave as much carnage behind him as possible for Obama to deal with.

:grr:

30. I used to record EVERY one of his Special Comments and put them on DVD to share with others
when I had the resources to do so.

I hope someone is doing that now, especially if he is going to be more prolific with them.

DVDs of these Special Comments need to be widely available... including to those of us without the $$$$ to outlay for them!

31. AGAIN...One answer will SOLVE THE PROBLEM...
...and that is to BAN the republican party!

Keith brings out the epitome, the reasoning, and the damnation of the existence of the worst, most insidious organization in the history of the planet, the republican party!

THEREFORE.....BAN the damn thing! Seriously...ban the party.

It is NOT a party of politics, and it CERTAINLY is NOT an organization that purports to present social or economic ideas.

It is an EVIL, DESPICABLE ORGANIZATION THAT NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED.

Once the party is banned, we have ENOUGH diversity of progressive thought to PROPERLY discuss and implement the very NEEDED salvation that the republican party has excoriated on our society.

I'm sorry, but there CAN be no more "discussion", no more "arguments"...we are BEYOND that. It's time to destroy the republicans...NOW.

and you might not agree with every detail,

but he says things that need to be said. And he says them with thought and passion.

53. Why isn't there a lawsuit
or complaint registered against people like Rush Limbaugh who spread such lies and inspire hate? Couldn't someone call the police and get him removed for inciting violence against liberals? Especially when there has been violence perpetrated against liberals. I don't get it. Isn't spreading lies slander? Isn't suggesting liberals should be killed inciting violence?

Man some of the videos on this site are really disturbing.

54. She tried to ban "Aladdin"???
I worked on that film. We knew there were wackos out there who might flip out because Jasmine's father cries out "Allah be praised"! at one point in the story, but "witchcraft"? Lady, it's called a "FAIRY TALE". It takes place in a mythical country called Ahgrabah where a sorcerer can turn himself into a giant snake and carpets can fly. Why not boycott Sleeping Beauty, the Wizard of Oz, or The Sword in the Stone for the same reasons? Oh yeah, those movies are populated by WHITE people! :eyes:


Most of all of this ugliness boils down to racism, pure and simple.
