An open message to the people who want to play nice and not bring up anything tawdry or mean....

How's that working out for the 4000+ dead US servicemen who have died because we have to play nice while the right wing throttles us at every turn?

could try working election protection this time so the Republicans don't walk off with our MILITARY, black and student votes.

...could tyry not being an Internet tough guy?

You're so fucking concerned, do it yourself.

and I'll work election protection. That'll work.

And that we have you to point it out to us.

You're the one that posted reductive bs.

And your sarcasm is pretty much wasted on me.

Multitasking isn't really an issue, so your binary argument is pretty much wasted on me.

on that.

And my argument isn't binary. I brought up one counter example, not all counter examples. And agree, it's wasted.

We have to be perfect little paragon of niceness! Don't you know it'll look bad if we stand up for ourselves?!

You speak for me. Fuck all the hypocrites who are imposing asinine abstinence policies instead of sensible sex education for our children. I have not one iota of sympathy for madame Palin.

Not to worry if you do not want to get down and dirty with them. There are plenty of us that don't mind playing in the dirt.
And we still love you anyway and actually respect you for your adherence to principles.

Obama to Media, Politicos on Palin Pregnancy Story: 'Back Off!'

September 01, 2008 2:28 PM

At a brief press availability in Monroe, Mich., ABC News asked Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., if he had any response to Gov. Sarah Palin's statement that her unmarried 17-year-old daughter Bristol is pregnant.

"Let me be a clear as possible: I have said before and I will repeat again, I think people's families are off limits," Obama said, "and people's children are especially off limits.

"This shouldn't be part of our politics," he continued, "It has no relevance to Gov. Palin's performance as governor, or her potential performance as a vice president.

"And so I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories," he said. "You know my mother had me when she was 18, and how a family deals with issues and, you know, teenage children, that shouldn't be the topic of our politics and I hope that anybody who is supporting me understands that's off limits."

Asked about the insinuation from the McCain campaign that the liberal bloggers trafficking in rumors about Palin write for websites that mention Obama, the senator said, "I'm offended by that."

The Democratic presidential nominee said, "There is no evidence at all that any of this involved us. I hope I am as clear as can be – so in case I’m not, let me repeat: We don't go after people's families, we don't get them involved in the politics. It's not appropriate and it's not relevant."
