It's All Over! Mikey Moore Endorses B.O.
2008-04-22
I heard this on the radio this morning; I do not check on his website. Ever.
I don't get to vote for President this primary season. I live in Michigan. The party leaders (both here and in D.C.) couldn't get their act together, and thus our votes will not be counted.

So, if you live in Pennsylvania, can you do me a favor? Will you please cast my vote -- and yours -- on Tuesday for Senator Barack Obama?

I haven't spoken publicly 'til now as to who I would vote for, primarily for two reasons: 1) Who cares? but I'll ramble on, anyway; and 2) I (and most people I know) don't give a rat's ass whose name is on the ballot in November, as long as there's a picture of JFK and FDR riding a donkey at the top of the ballot, and the word "Democratic" next to the candidate's name which is how we got nancy Pelosi and Jimmy Carter.

Seriously, I know so many people who don't care if the name under the Big "D" is Dancer, Prancer, Clinton or Blitzen. It can be Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Barry Obama or the Dalai Lama.

Well, that sounded good last year, but over the past two months, the actions and words of Hillary Clinton have gone from being merely disappointing to downright disgusting. I guess the debate last week was the final straw. I've watched Senator Clinton and her husband play this game of appealing to the worst side of white people, but last Wednesday, when she hurled the name "Farrakhan" out of nowhere, well that's when the silly season came to an early end for me. She said the "F" word to scare white people, pure and simple. Of course, Obama has no connection to Farrakhan. But, according to Senator Clinton, Obama's pastor does -- AND the "church bulletin" once included a Los Angeles Times op-ed from some guy with Hamas! No, not the church bulletin!
There is much more Moore at his website.

#19  Threnger, yes I did. Hell, man, it's the primary. There's always November. And Hillary couldn't out-campaign McCain if he named Fred Phelps as his vice-presidential candidate.

#18  He never mattered to begin with, OS.

But he became very rich in the process.

#14  I hope you didn't just vote Hillary to president.

#13  You want Barack to win in Pensylvania, Mikey?
Threaten to move there if he doesn't...

#12  mike sees whitey as THE problem

Yeah, what has Whitey ever done for us? Other than the aquaduct, I mean.

#11  Ya know, Mikeyis getting concerned that he Just. Doesn't. Matter. Anymore.

Given how the fringe on the left has become the center there, its hard for Mikey to get noticed for his usual shtick: being "radical". Daily Kos and the loonies there have completely overshadowed him.

#10  Archaism is one factor in great poetry.

Read "Poetic Diction" by Owen Barfield. A cult classic.

#9  Hey, Mikey, fuck you. I just voted for the Hildebeast. Because it would make apes like you go batshit.

#8  As a fan of H.P. Lovecraft, I am delighted to see "narcissitical" return to common usage.

#7  ...using poetical or fantastical...

Proofing is my friend!

#6  anonymous5089, the personal noun is narcissist, the psychological term is narcissism. The adjective is narcissistic. The variation you used, narcissitical, is an archaic alternative, analogous to using poetical or poetic instead of poetic and fantastic. The more elaborate forms most recently used by the kind of writer who wrote children's stories at the turn of the last century about the fairies living at the bottom of the garden. I thought you'd want to know, my dear. ;-)

#5  The dhimocrats really need another candidate. These two are so weak and pathetic that as long as McCain doesn't make any major mistakes, he should take the white house in a landslide.

#4  There's a Clinton - Farrakhan connection as well. Fast Eddie marched with Screwey Louie in the Million Man March so Eddie, Clinton's PA Campaign Chair, links Her Thighness to Farrakhan. Funny how politics works.

#3  Congratulations to Karl Rove for this epic move, and to John McCain for his election victory.

OT, short rant : The (self-acknowledged) orthodox commie side of bloated mike is well-known by anybody who simply bothers to look at it honestly, but one recurring aspect of his worldview is less explicit, but can be seen in his movies as well, it's the "whites as cancer" dogma.
Simply put, mike sees whitey as THE problem, and he usually explain that as a response to an irrational racist fear (see "bowling for columbine", in which this is the main thesis).

Fat mike moore is a "stupid white man", BUT a racist, self-hating, narcisstical one (it feels good to be part of the right, morally-superior crowd by hating whitey), and in that, he embodies a large part of the progressive movement.
