I think it’s silly that the media makes something out of that. If the Obama’s want to fist each other, that’s fine with me.

It is surprising that Fox didn’t examine the terrorist angle. People need to see the Obama’s for what they really are.

Wasn’t the old Weatherman logo a fist?
indabuff Says:June 10th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Howard…your initial fist comment is still cracking me up…

I go one further: if teh terrorists want to fist each other, it’s fine with me.
MIke- he is Muslim, and his preacher scares me, too.

Indabuff,
I Googled Weatherman Underground. Most results call it Weather Underground. This sure looks like the old Weatherman Underground to me.
I couldn’t find a logo, but I definitely remember the logo because back in high school we used to draw the logo and I’m sure that it was a “strike fist”.
I hate to admit how good I got at drawing that thing. That was back when I was taken in by the cool-crowd subversives.

Used to be that people who grew up inside the city limits of Buffalo had “street smarts”. They were wary of anyone they didn’t know, and wanted to know “where’s the beef” long before it was a Wendy’s slogan.
City kids, nor their parents, didn’t get “taken in” by snake oil and bullshit.
But now it seems, just as we now have a couple generations of kids who don’t know how to fix anything in our “toss away” society, it seems grown up buffalonians hear platitudes of “Change” “Hope” and “I’m a Uniter”, and nothing of substance except raising taxes, and perpetuating the hoax of Global Warming–and are completely swept away.
Sad commentary.
I don’t care if the Obama’s give each other gang hand signs–They’re just making it obvious that “I’m down for my set” and everyone else can go get fucked.
You guys lauded Byron Brown–didn’t you learn from him that the color of your skin, and a bunch of promises doesn’t mean there’s gonna be any meat between the slices of bread? Enjoy that “Jam Sandwich”–and look for a part time job to pay your tax bill.
hank Says:June 10th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
BTW, a “Jam Sandwich” is a poor persons sandwich–2 pieces of bread “Jammed” together. That’s all you’ll be able to afford if the most liberal Senator in the United States gets the job.

Snarky,
I think that the greatest threat we face is from intolerant radical religious fundamentalists. It may surprise you that I am not referring to the Muslim religion.
As threatening as the radical Islam faction truly is, even they don’t compare to a larger more immediate threat.
The religious intolerance of radical “atheism” is, to me, our largest threat. A radical faction of what is now a new religion of intolerance has hijacked the philosophy of atheism.
The new “Atheists” are intolerant of all other religions, yet they don’t recognize that their own organized belief system with all of its established tenants and rituals (Hank: darwinism, globalwarmingism, secularism, etc.)is by any definition another organized faith-based religion.
Like all religious zealots of the past, this new breed refuses to acknowledge that they are an organized religion because in their minds they simply represent the only authentic truth. They interpret the right to freedom of religion as freedom from religion yet they are themselves entirely faith driven.
Fortunately for us Obama, even by his greatest detractors, has at worst been accused of being a radical Islamist terrorist. Not a problem. We as a nation can handle those!
Snarky, here is a quick acid test that you can try for yourself.
Explain to an “atheist” that his beliefs constitute a religion. If he gets mad, he is guilty. If he is not upset by your assertion then he is a genuine (but disenfranchised) atheist and not a threat to society.

hey guys, i just heard rodney king is going to star in the new season of “celebrity rehab”!

hank, sit back and eat another pail of ice cream, we would hate for you to lose your girly figure.
hudson, we dont have to buy your mob book, every week your paper lifts another chapter out of it to fill its pages, price of gas must be hurting your reporting skills.

Don’t you dare smack my man Danny Dennett.
You can bust on Dawkins (if you can; most people really aren’t quick enough), and you can throw down with The Hitch (by all means, pin that sodden mass of jelly to the mat), heck, if you want to, you can try to make a move on Harris.
But you just. don’t. even. try. with. Dennett.
Here’s a quick test: Do you believe in Zeus? Odin? Ixchel? Bast? Shango?* Cthulhu? Arawn? Guan-Yo? Coyote? Eris? Raiden**? Zoroaster? Tiamat? Venus?*** Tlaloc? Wahihi-Hi? Wotan? Ajatar? Etc?
No. No, you’ve rightly rejected 99% of humanity’s once-held top dogs. History is littered with dead gods, Howard. dead, dead gods…
You’ve only got one percent to go.

If you watch Fox News, you are a drooling moron….mostly because Fox News thinks you’re a drooling moron who will take this nonsense seriously. Roger Ailes laughs his ponderous jowls off at your idiocy.

As one of those ‘radical atheists threatening America’, I’m glad to know douchebaggy Christians who long to vote Bush in for a third term fear us.
When the established powers feel threatened by you, you’ve gotta be doing something right.
