They can grasp at straws all day, but their candidates draw more flies than crowds compared to either the President or Vice President.

It may have been bad planning, or a quick stop, or was actually planned that way for a handful of people.

Or, your base might hate you:




Let them grasp at straws. Who cares?

don't know if it was campaign related, and I heard the same thing, only 10 people showed up. Don't know if true.

The fact that Stormfront is hosting the headline tells me everything that I need to know.

The things the people on FB posted about Ms Fluke were just VILE.

I did NOT 'like' the page, but it is under the page "Capitalism". I wanted to smack it down, harshly.

I think she's just going around stopping at various places pushing for early voting and talking to people who happen to be there.

She's traveling around to strip shopping centers and talking to people. Ten people listening at any one time is perfectly reasonable. The right-wingers are trying to create a concern out of nothing.

Seems you 'find' a lot of crap posted by Right Wing sources that needs 'refuting'.

Most posters here laugh at stupid crapola such as that, but thank God you always seem to find time to bring it here.

One more thing about that, hoofuckincares anyway?

I fucking care, that's who. We fight them at varying places to keep "Al Gore from inventing the internet" <<---He NEVER said it, but maybe ignoring it made it go away? Oh wait...

And while SOME posters may indeed laugh at "stupid crapola" such as that, most try to contribute something substantive instead of BREAKING THE RULES by calling out another poster. Most see the fight that we're in, not the one we WANT to have. Maybe YOU think ignoring it is better. Oh wait...

So I guess we'll just remain at this stand still. YOU continue to keep your head in the sand, or be all about 'ignoring' and I'll take the battle to them before they turn lies into the truth.

THANK YOU for your CONCERN. Really. It seems you don't HELP much. But thanks.

Trying to point out to them where they are wrong is pretty much an exercise in futility.

If they heard something from OxyRush or Hannity or any of the other RW Media
Hatemongers it's as good as if there was a burning bush present at the time.
