1. Thanks for clearing that up. Isn't McClatchy the polls that came out showing Obama

doing so poorly, including losing to Romney by 7% and beating Palin by only 5%? :eyes:

4. Oh...

OK. It's supid of them to put Obama against Giuliani, not to mention Palin who's not even running. She still works at Faux. But the fact that they have her only 5% behind Obama makes them seem even less credible.

7. What? You mean our M$M would try to "create" a chasm between the black president & the CBC?

What would be their motive for doing such a thing? :sarcasm:

9. Clearly Obama's thugs threatened Cleaver into recanting.

Now if you'll excuse me I have some red stuff to drink in my thermometer.
