Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
Eager to share our brilliant political commentary and blunt media criticism, but too genteel to link to horsesass.org? Well, good news, ladies: we also answer to HASeattle.com, because, you know, whatever. You're welcome!
Good timing on this ad with the market tanking this AM.
Doesn’t say anything about what Burner would do.
Straight negative ad.
Hard in 30-seconds to put anything positive in…especially since Burner is a SERIAL LIAR and no one believes her anyway.
Serial liar and no one believes her? It figures that Cynical would try to hang his own attributes on a Dem.
It’s been wildly said that Obama stands for nothing but elevating himself to a higher office.
Let’s see what obama will do with his left over campaign money of 600 Million.
Will he walk the talk, give it to the Feds to pay down the debt as he said we should do or will he be Obama, and keep it?
I’ll bet he’ll keep it what you say?
I keep trying to imagine what a circular firing squad of rats deserting a sinking ship looks like.
Oh, wait….

Gosh, John, what do you really know about the federal laws regulating the use of campaigbn contributions? I’m guessing nothing.
Do you think candidates can just do whatever they want with them? John McCain and Sarah Palin do. Only one of the reasons they are losing.

“Daddy Love
Gosh, John, what do you really know about the federal laws regulating the use of campaigbn contributions? I’m guessing nothing.”
He has received money from foreign contributors get real man! Laws for him don’t exist.
@8 Typical troll, making shit up. That doesn’t cut it here. We’re into truthiness.
Senator Obama, will keep the money.
Looked at what he and his wife give to charity you’ll know why.

It’s not illegal to receive money from foreign contributors. Here’s an example of your utter ignorance of campaign finance law. It’s against the law for foreign contributors to contribute.
The Obama campaign has returned any donations from foreign contribtors. You’ll have to look for your black helicopters somewhere else.
Remember that Obama and McCain both, as required by law, disclose the names of all donors who contribute more than $200.
But John McCain has received foreign donations, too. But returned them. Which is the point. They both receive them, and they both return them.
10 Al
It’s not his money to direct, or to “keep.” Don’t be a dumbass.
“Daddy Love
Remember that Obama and McCain both, as required by law, disclose the names of all donors who contribute more than $200.”
That’s what I’m talking about you should read more than this web site to be informed.
And he can keep it and do whatever he wants with it.
Get your head out of the sand.
@12 “Don’t be a dumbass”
You ask that of a goatfucking troll??

Repeating a lie does not make it true.
Why don’t YOU pull your head out of your ASS and read all this stuff you don’t know about campaign finance law.
http://www.fec.gov/law/feca/feca.pdf
That should cover it. Cite the section where it says that candidate can do ” keep it and do whatever he wants with it.”
Or, find the relevant federal legislation and cite THAT.
And as an added bonus, the line in bold is why Palin’s wardrobe purchases are illegal.
Further, in case you don’t find it easy to read for comprehension, I’ll break it down:
That’s why it’s prohibited.
3 “It’s been wildly said”
What, are you fat?
Daddy,
As usual you cherry pick.
He can give the money to the Federal Gov. don’t be an idiot!
And read again about “And as an added bonus, the line in bold is why Palin’s wardrobe purchases are illegal.”
The clothing was loaned to her not bought for her.
It’s useless talking to any liberal socialist fool.
21 J
So looking up the relevant federal laws, citing them, then highlighting the relevant sections is “cherry-picking.” Uh-huh.
Well, what you do is called “pulling wild claims out of your ass,” and your silly condescension proves not that you’re right, but proves instead that you have to retreat into superciliousness because you’re unable to use a fact to prove an assertion.
Bottom line: You can’t show how your assertion us supported in law because it isn’t. And your disregard for law just shows us that only pathetic crooks and thugs still belong to your Party.
21 Jon
Oh, and the LAW says you CANNOT USE CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS TO BUY CLOTHES. They call it out specifically. Your assertion that they are a “loan” to Sarah Palin is not a defense under the law. The campaign cannot legally buy clothing to “lend” to anyone for any purpose.
The law just means nothing to Republicans. Maybe when we begin putting more of them into jail the light will go on.
Maybe I can clarify this. If the McCain campaign wanted to buy clothes to donate to a charity and did so, it would fall under that “any other lawful purpose…etc.” of the Permitted section, and be perfectly legal. But AS SOON AS THEY USED THE CLOTHES IN THE CAMPAIGN, the expense becomes prohibited and thus illegal.
How much more black and white can they make it?
11. Daddy Love spews:
But it is illegal for foreign-born’s to run for President. Obama’s inauguration may be held up for this reason. You KLOWNS are soooooooo in love with the law….you live by the law, and suffer by the law. You can’t have it just your own way.
During Obama’s dark, mysterious years at Columbia, he was involved in domestic terrorist bombings.
Although some mainstream media sources have alluded to Obama’s mysterious years at Columbia, only one intrepid reporter, Tom Maguire of Just One Minute has made the cognitive leap required to connect all of the dots. Noting that Obama admitted in his book Dreams of My Father that he was “interested in South Africa divestment,” Maguire does some digging and discovers that some protests against the 1981 tour by the South African Springboks rugby team resulted in violence and even some bombings. Guess who “was involved in some fashion” in these bombings? The Weather Underground! “These are just dots and it may be impossible to connect them,” says Maguire, modestly, “but we have Barack Obama at Columbia working on South African divestment (as were many peaceful protestors) while other radical elements with a Weather Underground flavor are setting bombs, killing cops, and working on South African divestment. As a bonus, Bill Ayers is studying at Bank Street College a quarter mile from Columbia.” Wow! How can the mainstream media possibly ignore the fact that Obama must have been “involved in some fashion” in domestic terrorism because he was “interested in South African divestment.”
26 Cyn
Oh, Cynical, you self-deluding knucklehead…
The Obama campaign posted a copy of Obama’s birth certificate on its “Fight the Smears” website.
FactCheck.org’s staff concluded in an August 21 post that it “meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship.”
And even popular-but-insane right-wing website WorldNetDaily reported in an August 23 article that a “WND investigation into Obama’s birth certificate utilizing forgery experts also found the document to be authentic.”
Obama didn’t actually write Dreams of My Father. In fact, it was ghost-written by none other than Bill Ayers!
Jack Cashill at the aptly named American Thinker found it difficult to believe that Barack Obama, who is not one of the most articulate politicians around, could possibly have written a whole book all by himself. He must have had help. Probably from someone evil. So on a hunch Cashill decided to compare Obama’s book with a book written by Bill Ayers and lo and behold, he discovered some shocking similarities, including the use of nautical imagery and the fact that a very scientific test to determine the grade level of the prose was a match. This wasn’t the first story Cashill broke. Cashill also proved that Arab terrorists and not Eric Rudolph were responsible for the 1996 Olympics bombing in Atlanta and that the Clintons covered up the real cause of the death of Ron Brown and the downing of TWA Flight 800. Unfortunately, Cashill’s overwhelming evidence wasn’t enough to convince the mainstream media to report on his theories.
Michelle Obama attacks “American white racists” in an interview with obscure online news site
I bet you probably didn’t know that Michelle Obama gave an exclusive interview to the obscure online journalism site African Press International in which she said that “American white racists” are trying to derail her husband’s candidacy by claiming that Obama was adopted by his Indonesian stepfather, which would make him ineligible to be President under one of the secret, little-known provisions of the U.S. Constitution. Mrs. Obama was apparently so disturbed by these charges that she decided to call this press agency, which most people have never heard of, and vent Martha Mitchell-like, even though her words might scuttle her husband’s chances of becoming President.
What lind of people say things like this? Criminals, that’s who.
“Ooh, you and your laws think you’re SOOO cool.”
Obama had a girlfriend that his wife found out about and forced her to move to the Caribbean.
If you only read the American mainstream media, you might not know that the U.K.’s Daily Mail reported that Obama was “the target of a shadowy smear campaign designed to derail his bid for the US Presidency by falsely claiming he had a close friendship with an attractive African-American female employee…. The woman, now 33, vigorously denies the vicious and unsubstantiated gossip.” Unfortunately, the American mainstream media apparently has some kind of silly rules about publishing stories about unsubstantiated rumors as a way of writing about those rumors, but conservative bloggers have been all over the story like white bloggers on rice. Once again the conservative blogosphere’s most respected blogger Ace of Spades led the way. “Having now spoken to someone tracking the story, I can say: 1) It’s not just a silly little rumor. 2) It will break in some form shortly,” he wrote. Ace even noticed that Obama had vacationed in the Caribbean, noting his source “hadn’t even made that connection.” That’s just how Ace’s mind works, making connections that don’t even occur to peddlers of sleazy gossip.
There is a tape of Michelle Obama with Louis Farrakhan talking about “whitey”
Larry Johnson of No Quarter used to be a liberal until the Democrats decided to nominate an unqualified African-American for President. In a last-ditch attempt to get Democrats to come to their senses, he revealed the existence of a secret videotape featuring Michelle Obama speaking to a group that included the wife of Louis Farrakhan and maybe even Farrakhan himself in which she confirms the most feverish nightmares of some white Americans by ranting about “whitey.” Johnson claimed that Republicans had a copy of this tape, which they were holding onto until October, when it would do the most damage. Although he didn’t actually see the tape himself, he had many friends and friends of friends who did see it. Stop the ACLU wrote, “This is all a rumor, but if you read Michelle’s college thesis on race you will find it is most likely true.”
Marvin troll
Yeah, I read that already and yeah, it’s funny. But you’re kind of muddying the waters here. Trolls are immune to snark. They are way too literal-minded. They’ll believe you, IOW.
Obama was not born in the United States and his birth certificate has been forged.
What would happen if we elected a President who was not born in this country and is not eligible to be President? Some of the best minds in the conservative blogosphere are doing everything they can to stop this horrifying scenario from happening before it is too late. “This is serious: Barack Obama’s campaign has endorsed the accuracy of what is almost certainly a forged birth certificate for Obama,” writes Right Wing News. According to Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs, Doug Ross of Director Blue and Israel Insider, the birth certificate the Obama campaign released is without a doubt a forgery, which they have proven using all kinds of scientific analysis that involves anti-aliasing and kerning, which makes my head spin but looks really convincing. Tiger Hawk was really concerned about this: “I do not think that it would be good for anybody, including Republicans, if it turned out that Barack Obama was not ‘natural born’ under the law. What a mess that would be for the whole country.” And Andrew McCarthy of the National Review’s The Corner also wanted answers, adding, in case anyone had any doubt, “I am not a conspiracy theorist.” (Update: What is the real reason for Obama’s trip to Hawaii?)
Barack Obama had an underage, gay “affair” with a pedophile.
When the National Enquirer reported that one of Obama’s childhood mentors wrote a semi-autobiographical book that includes passages about sex with an underage girl, the conservative blogosphere collectively made the next logical leap that even the Enquirer was too skittish to make: Obama must have had sex with this man when he was nine years old. “The National Enquirer now suggests Barack Obama had an underage, gay affair with a pedophile,” wrote Erick Erickson of Red State. “Yup. That Frank Marshall Davis guy Barry says was his good friend? Turns out he was a perv of the first order and liked young boys.” In case anyone should make unfair accusations against him, Erickson added, “This post is not intended to spread that rumor.” Indeed, that post was only intended as a public service to pass on information that was right there between the lines of the Enquirer story for all to see. “That may be worse than his having been counseled by Jeremiah Wright,” wrote Dan Riehl. “No wonder he says “Pakit-stan” in that funny way of his! heh!”
Obama had cocaine-fueled gay sex in the back of a limousine with a not-very-attractive disabled man with a criminal background
While the mainstream media requires their sources practically to be saints before they will even think of publishing sensational allegations, the prestigious World Net Daily is under no such constraints. It reported on Larry Sinclair’s allegations that he did cocaine and had sex with Barack Obama in the back of a limousine without making him jump through all the hoops a mainstream media organization or even the National Enquirer would have required. Although some people didn’t find Larry Sinclair’s story credible considering his criminal record and the fact that he failed a lie detector test, WND decided to publish the allegations and let the people decide.
Why can’t you libs stick to the original post instead fouling it up with your spin.
Can you stay on @3 only and respond to that?
Will he give it to the Federal Gov. or keep it?
Obama was getting answers in the first debate through a clear plastic hearing aid in his ear.
Ann Althouse has a unique ability to see things that no one else sees, not unlike my Aunt Agatha, until she was sent away to a rest home and forced to take medication that took away her abilities. During the primaries, Althouse discovered that a Hillary Clinton ad included the subliminal message “Nig” written on a child’s pajamas. Then during the debates, Althouse noticed on her high definition television that Obama was wearing a clear plastic hearing aid in his ear and noted that he spoke haltingly as if someone was giving him the answers in the debate. “It’s clearly there, a crescent of clear plastic,” she said in response to some skeptical comments (note her use of the word “crescen.”
Ace of Spades’ Super-Secret Unified Field Story That Connects All the Dots.
For weeks Ace of Spades has been working on a super-secret story about Obama, which “called Obama a straight-up liar on his supposed ‘flimsy’ relationship with The Terrorist William Ayers” and finally connected all the dots, linking Obama and Bill Ayers, Acorn, Tony Reszko, Charles Manson, the Chicago mob, the Illuminati, Freemasons, the Trilateral Commission, Jewish bankers, Nazis living in South America, Fidel Castro, the KGB, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Bigfoot, Area 51, the Harlem Globetrotters, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, the Bermuda Triangle, Mrs. Calabash and Mr. Gorsky. Apparently, Ben Smith at Politico, had the story, too, according to Ace and Hill Buzz, and he was just sitting on it (though Smith denied it). Then just as Ace was on the verge of breaking the story, he made this heart-breaking announcement: “The source was considering dropping his demand for anonymity. Thus likely moving the story forward. (He wasn’t considering going forward with the Politico, by the way: but with the other, more important organization.) And now, today? After witnessing Politico, among others, savage Joe Wurtzelbacher? Cold feet.” Curse you, mainstream media and your accursed fact-checking! Will your cover-up of the truth about Barack Obama never end!

He can’t do either. His campaign can retain the money for campaign purposes, or it can donate it to other campaigns.
And how is post #3 “the original post?”
Now I feel bad for quoting campaign finance law from the Federal Election Commission site to settle a question about how campaign donations can be used. All they have up there is spin, apparently. Spin passed by the Congress and signed into law by the president.
Hey DL…

It’s like in (I think) the Marx Brothers’ film Room Service where Groucho points to Harpo and says “That’s the brains fo the organization…it should give you some idea of the organizatrion.”

Hey rujax! I can see you are an only child!
Hey PudWacker! How is your Goat Sarah?

Second, read my lips, “Barack Obama CANNOT donate his campaign contributions to the federal governemtn because it is against the law.” Which I proved in this post, citing the FEC document here.

Reagan Appointee and (Recent) McCain Campaign Adviser Charles Fried Supports Obama
Charles Fried, a professor at Harvard Law School, has long been one of the most important conservative thinkers in the United States. Under President Reagan, he served, with great distinction, as Solicitor General of the United States. Since then, he has been prominently associated with several Republican leaders and candidates, most recently John McCain, for whom he expressed his enthusiastic support in January.
This week, Fried announced that he has voted for Obama-Biden by absentee ballot. In his letter to Trevor Potter, the General Counsel to the McCain-Palin campaign, he asked that his name be removed from the several campaign-related committees on which he serves. In that letter, he said that chief among the reasons for his decision “is the choice of Sarah Palin at a time of deep national crisis.”
Fried is exceptionally thoughtful and principled; his vote for Obama is especially noteworthy.
Daddy Love@11: Obama’s foreign donations?
Why didn’t Newsweek do a story on McCain’s “foreign” donations?

Your tenacity and the optimism you display in attempting to reach through to the Reptilian brain of these wingnuts is futile. Have some fun: ridicule them; accuse them of goatfucking; call them assholes. I mean think about it. The world is heading into a depression. We are losing two wars. And yet these fools still support the Republicans. Reasoning with these idiots is hopeless.
A commentator on NPR right now is pointing out that taxpayers in Alaska get more than they pay back in benefits and that Alaska is the most socialistic state in the country.
Headless Lucy@54: And what NPR (Democratic Radio) doesn’t say is that is from the oil windfall tax.
Speaking of NPR, will they have to give a positive Republican spin when the Donkey force through the fairness doctrine. Just axing…

He will be president with a democrat majority and tell me he can’t change the law or laws as he will do for other issues.
We are of need of all his money!
Bush former spokesman Scott McClellan, who Bush brought to the White House with him from Texas has endorsed Obama.
CONCORD, N.H.—Former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld, a Republican, endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for president on Friday, citing the senator’s good judgment, “deep sense of calm” and “first-class political temperament.”
Weld said he’s never endorsed a Democrat for president before, but in the last six weeks or so, it became “close to a no-brainer.” Obama has a history of bringing Democrats, Republicans and independents together and is the best choice at a time when America’s standing in the world is at a low point, he said.
“It’s not often you get a guy with his combination of qualities, chief among which I would say is the deep sense of calm he displays, and I think that’s a product of his equally deep intelligence,” he said in a phone interview.

You know as well as I do, if you read #11, that
(a) Foreign donations say nothing about either campaign, because they fulfill their obligation to return them.
(b) MacCain receives foreign donatiosn too.
Why Newsweek does or does not do anything about ANTHING does not seem relevant to the question, but servers merrely to obfuscate.
Nevertheless, despite what Newsweek may or may not do, Barack Obama will be president.

Been there, done that. Besdies, I AM making fun of them. Showing them to be idiots who know nothing about the substance of their complaints and as criminals and scofflaws every bit as corrupt as GW, Dickless Cheney, and Alberto “the dunce” Gonzales is amusing in itself without added snark, don’t you think?
56 Clark
Ah, said the piot to the kettle.
You fucking bet your moronic ass!
Well, I don’t think they will, but that’s not your assertion. You assert that it is legal for him to do so right now. Then when you are challeneged to prodcue evidence of same, you start name-calling. THEN, wen I show you that it is claarly NOT the case that it is legal to do so now, you change your premise to claim that AT SOME FUTURE TIME he and 538 other Congresspeople will make it legal to do so.
How do you keep a job?
His campaign funds are not his money. But if you want his personal fortune, why don’t you go after John and Cundy for theirs? The’ve got a lot more money for you to kow nothing about.
Rudy Giuliani endorsed John McCain, but only because McCain is white.
@56,
Nice to see you realize that Obama is going to win. To get back to the original post; wouldn’t that make it more important for the 8th district that they elect Burner so they aren’t marginalized even farther?
@52 “Steve of Steve’s Stupid Solution must be proud of you!”
Oh, Pudz, MT is only one of a number of people here at HA who now call you out for being the goatfucker that you are.

Vote for buttheads like McCain and Palin to get asses stamped on their heads. Classic!! Pass it on…
I bet he won’t have any leftover money.
And the liberal media won’t question him on it at all.
Why worry about the facts when you’re a left-wingnut.
Hell, even the liberal new york times understands it.
Why should facts get in the way of your smears and parroting the talking points from dailypus.
Did you catch the word “cleverly?” To a liberal, to obey the law one has to be cleaver.
Which is why obama has AVS turned off on his website so people can donate under any name without breaking the law. He’s not cleaver, he just has the liberal media covering for him.
Another mindfucked liberal dancing on my puppet strings.
I wonder if this the racist headless lucy or the byebye/blogreader/steve goat sex guy?
It’s probably going over your head…
There’s a difference between people and sockpuppets.
You and headless posting under 20 different names is still only 2 people.
@69 I see that you’re growing even more deluded. Stupid goatfucker.
Hey Steve, “Pudwacker” was the derivative given to me by Headless Lucy long ago when he went on his racist binge September 9-15, 2005. He regularly uses it, while others only copy it for a while, he always uses it. This is one of the ways I track headless lucy and his multiple personalities on this board.
This is the 22nd sock puppet name used by the Seattle Skuul Teacher that I have found. I know there are others because he uses such ______ _______ _______ _______ and it’s easy to spot.
I won’t fill in the blanks because it would give away my methods. But you keep drinking the Stupid Solution. It does your mind good while blogging in the barn doing the in-out burger with your goat of the day.
@71 I reckon lot’s of people have called you Pudwacker. Not me. I usually just call you a goatfucker. I do so because I like to read your stupid replies, the ones steeped in denial, like the one you just posted.
Headlice Lucy–
Welcome back to HA under you new reincarnation of Steve!
And hear I was thinkin’ Steve was Rog due to the endless goat fornication references.
Birds of a feather!
Whatever you say sockpuppet.
Say, do you have a problem being around black people 24/7?
You call him goat fucker so you can read his replies?
Why is that sockpuppet?
Do you only like to read things when you think goats are involved?
Be honest with us… how many times have you fallen to sleep reading My Pet Goat?
