QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 24, 2008 -> 01:05 PM) Interesting line in the article about Richardson's endorsement of Obama, and his phone call to Clinton to tell her... I'm pretty sure that's political jargon for "she told me if I ever see her again she'd shoot me in the face with a bazooka". If Obama can get Edwards to endorse him before PA and campaign for him, there is still a chance he could ice the nomination by the end of April. Carvell basically called Richardson a Judas .... on Good Friday. Supposedly, Richardson and slick Willie had a pretty heated phone conversation as well and Obama's campaign has compared Willie to Eugene McCarthy. This is fun s***.

QUOTE(SnB @ Mar 24, 2008 -> 10:10 AM) so I asked Krush this yesterday percent chance of the hawks sneaking into that last spot at this moment? Sounds like a good poll topic

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Mar 24, 2008 -> 10:10 AM) Classic thought, but I think it is "porcelain". Yeah ... you got me there.

QUOTE(klaus kinski @ Mar 24, 2008 -> 09:33 AM) This is because he's intimidated by outspoken players like these 2. Players like Anderson, Garland etc who are less inclined to tell him to shut up are ones he bullies. I'm sorry, but I don't think Ozzie is intimidated by anyone. During his interview for the managers job, he told KW to go to hell. Intimidated? I think not.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 24, 2008 -> 09:30 AM) Sorry Yas. Ok. We'll leave it there.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 24, 2008 -> 09:12 AM) Yas, do you preach religious intolerance and hatred to your kids? You seem to have no issue with McCain's spiritual adviser doing so. WTF ... I'm sitting here criticizing the religeous intolerance of Jeremiah Wright and the fact that Obama sat and listened to it for 20+ years. I can't believe you even asked me that question. I'm done. I tried to have a civil but lively discussion with you. But for you to impeach my credibility on religious intolerance and defend Obama at the same time, I might as well be pissing up a rope.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 24, 2008 -> 09:10 AM) After reading both of his books and following his political career since his Illinois Senate days I have seen nothing that has led me to believe that Obama is a hateful person. Ok man. You vote your way, I'll vote mine. I've made my position more than clear.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Mar 24, 2008 -> 09:09 AM) Obama on Oil and our Energy problem... His interaction at the very end with the Escolade driver was classic Obama. He's funny, witty, and smart. And phony.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 24, 2008 -> 09:04 AM) I'm sure the moment they met the first thing the Reverend said was f*&% whitey and America and Obama said "Oh yeah! This is the church I'm going to." It's not what he said when they met that I have an issue with. It's what's been said over the course of time, with Obama sitting in the pews, having Wright perform his wedding ceremony, perform the baptism of his children, become Godfather to his his children. How much more do you need to see that the real Obama is not the one that he is presenting to the voting public?

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 24, 2008 -> 09:02 AM) My father preached hatred for the 34 years of my life. He's one of the biggest racists I know. I am the complete opposite. So should everyone label me a racist because of my father's beliefs? You didn't choose your father. Obama did choose his pastor.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 24, 2008 -> 08:58 AM) So you know for a FACT that the reverend preached nothing but hate for 20 consecutive years, each and every week? What he preached is public record. I didn't say it was each and every week for 20 years. He said enough. I never thought I'd say this about anybody, but at this point in time, I'd rather have Hillary in the Oval Office.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 24, 2008 -> 08:47 AM) You might not particularly take offense to a statement like that but having a religious leader call an entire religion false and to suggest waging a holy war against said religion is a bit cuckoo if you ask me. Where exactly is the press coverage on this? Preaching hatred is only newsworthy if it involves race? The esteemed Reverend Jeremiah Wright preached hate towards America and towards white people. Obama sat in this man's church for twenty years and listened to his hatemongering toward me and my nation. When called out on it, he refused to disavow the esteemed reverend. I consider it at the very least an extreme lack of judgement on Obama's part. Michelle Obama has made her feelings well known in regards to how she views this nation. Their daughters have been raised listening to Wright's vile teachings. I don't want such a man as my president. Period.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 24, 2008 -> 08:36 AM) You didn't answer the question. And don't you find offense to what the pastor said? Would you take offense if a religious leader called Christianity a false religion? To directly answer your question, No ... I don't think we should wage a war against Islam. Unless, of course, Islam gives us no choice by waging war against us and we are left with no choice. To answer question #2 ... I think Christianity has been corrupted and defiled to the extent that yes, it is now a false religion. I believe in a personal relationship with God and Jesus and I don't need the 'guidance' of the church to acheive said relationship. So no, I wouldn't take offense.

QUOTE(bschmaranz @ Mar 24, 2008 -> 08:16 AM) When are they erecting the Todd Ritchie statue? They already have several throughout the park. They are made of porceline.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 24, 2008 -> 08:26 AM) Are you also for waging a holy war against the false religion of Islam? I'll say this much. If the peaceful, law abiding Islamic people don't stand up and put a stop to the extremism that is so very prevelent in today's world, they won't have much to b**** about when the s*** hits the fan. It's been almost 7 years since 9-11 and you hear very very little moderation from the Islamic community. If they won't stand up for themselves, why should I?

Yep. That's one reason why I'm against abortion and think McCain needs to get on board. I don't see the racism though, when he points out the 1500 African-American are destroyed daily. In fact, I see just the opposit.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 24, 2008 -> 06:40 AM) Except, the reality has been the opposite. McCain's spiritual advisor has been credited with some statements that are very inflammatory, just like Obama's pastor. And yet, which story is getting all the press? Don't get me wrong, I think normally, we might be hearing a lot more about McCain's background than we are. But there are a few other factors at work. For one, with the Dem race still being bitterly fought, their issues will be scrutinized more closely. For another thing, I don't think there is any denying that people of all races in this country are having various types of issues with having our first serious black candidate. The very nature of that causes all sorts of emotional reactions. Elaborate on McCain's 'spiritual advisor' please.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 24, 2008 -> 07:57 AM) Missing ft's is one thing I will NEVER understand. That'll bite them in the ass before this is over.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Mar 24, 2008 -> 12:54 AM) I just think you should be careful tossing around the word racist. If John McCain had been a member of a church for 20 years that could be proven to have been led by an anti-black pastor, he'd have been ripped to shreds a long long time ago. He would have been guilty of racism by association. No ifs, ands or buts about it. Obama, not so much.

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Mar 22, 2008 -> 02:31 PM) He was blinded by the messiah's glow. revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Mar 22, 2008 -> 09:25 AM) See, unfortunately when it comes to the inaccurate crap about Obama, there isnt anything that is obvious anymore. I know better, and many of my fellow Obama supporters on here know better. but some people in the US dont. A lot of people in the US still think he's muslum! I think the esteemed Reverend Jeremiah Wright broke that misconception for many people.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 20, 2008 -> 11:50 AM) Ha. Lets just say running in sandles in an ice storm = giant gash through your forehead. And you're saying So. Illinois folks don't know how to handle bad waether.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Mar 22, 2008 -> 08:21 AM) :notworthy The one month thing is a BIT extreme. But yes, within the first few years. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! He'll do that by pulling all the troops home.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Mar 22, 2008 -> 07:41 AM) Have a look at the defensive thread Bob just to show the difference in defense b/w Crede and Fields in 2007. And I think that's obviously the major reason why they want Crede up if they can't trade him. Anything they can do to help out the pitching staff, they will. As they should.

What is that expression you young guys always use .... oh, I got it. pwned!
