I recently wrote a note on Facebook in which I ripped on McCain for having a transition team director that lobbied for Saddam Hussein, if slightly indirectly. That is not what I am apologizing for; it is a far worse connection than briefly sitting on a respected education policy board with a nutter who also happens to be dedicated to improving public education.
In response, an attorney who works at the firm that laid me off, along with all of the other temps, while I was on my honeymoon left a series of comments below the note. These are some the comments (I’ve omitted the ones that are merely rude or wrong, presenting only the truly obnoxious)::
This is specious… How can you compare aides whose former firms lobbied with a politician who DIRECTLY took money from them himself… in fact, in just 3 years was the second largest recipient of Fannie and Freddie money in the entire prior ten year period (quite a lot of catching up to due). Ayers is just one of many radical left wing buddies that Obama has had, and let’s not forget how entrenched he is with this lovely ACORN group, who has managed to not only be at the center of the sub-prime mortgage meltdown, but also rampant voter registration fraud in over a dozen states and counting. ...
Good to know your base… warms my heart to see the democrats care about the homeless for 12 hours once every four years, plying them with free cigarettes, shuttling them down to the voting booth, then dropping them back off on their sidewalks once they’ve served their purpose
Amazing what happens when a metropolitan area of 10 million people all try to share one brain… we get tales of not believing in dinosaurs, banning books that hadn’t even been written yet, forced rape kit payments, and whatever other internet fiction that is dreamed up by the left and lapped up by it’s rabid minions. Sad really...
In response to someone showing that Obama’s lead nationwide was larger than 5%:
Hahaha… love the sourcing, NY Times and CBS, both known for their objective, unbiased reporting… Hysterical! McCain is considered radical right on your planet? The most moderate republican in the Senate is a rightist but the most liberal democratic senator is embraced by the media as being somehow a moderate. I wonder if you can effectively run a country off of a teleprompter, god save us all if this buffoon is elected. In the meantime all the sheep please return to your grazing...
Yeah “Sarah Palin is Cun*” t-shirts that Osama’s fans have been wearing at his events and actually appeared on his campaign website are an eloquent expression of political views—but guess what—you sheep aren’t fed that reality by the liberal media, you just like living in your bizarro liberal world of nonsense. Pretty insane that the Clintons have had to complain about liberal bias in the media, lets you know how crazy-left you freaks have gotten.Electing an inexperienced, unqualified lightweight like Osama is so reckless, should this douche be elected, I want you all to look yourself in the mirror the morning that NYC is covered by a cloud of smoke and think “whups” but it will be too late. Hopefully Israel might still exist, but with a feckless effete dickwad who favors hamas who the hell knows. Isn’t it scary that Israel was pushing for a pre-election strike on Iran b/c they know that if Osama is elected they are on their own?? My god, at least elect a douchebag liberal who at least has some kind of track record or experience, and who doesn’t suppress his actual views. So frigging sad, but sheep be sheep, elect this socialist douche, but when everything falls apart at least do us the favor and do the honorable Japanese thing...
At that point I decided that my slutty facebook-friend-accepting ways had gone too far and I dropped him.
In any event, here is my apology: since this is, to me, the rough equivalent of screaming “RETHUGLICAN CHIMPY MCHITLER BUSH”, as the right wing describes the last 8 years of liberal thought, if I have ever sounded like this guy (and I don’t think I have, but this is an AA-style apology for anything I MIGHT have done), I’m sorry. I’m sorry if I sounded even half as retarded as this guy.
