We keep saying this — and no one seems to listen — but over the course of this campaign, we’ve met about 50 people who worked on McGovern-72, and every one of them said to us, without quivocation, that the main reason McGovern lost to Nixon was McGOVERN’S SUPPORTERS. The way McGovern’s “youth army” behaved, and the terrible things they did in McGovern’s name, worked against their candidate and every day drove more people who would have never voted Republican over to Nixon.
We’ll try to spell this out even more clearly: when people see things like this anti-Palin Ebay stunt, it makes normal people wonder why they would support SoetorObama, if this is what his followers are up to. It makes people who might have pulled the lever for this man question the very act of putting someone like this into office, when these are the types of followers he attracts.
People do not want to be associated with this sort of filth – and the fact that SoetorObama’s campaign doesn’t clamp down hard and stop this sort of daily, vulgar, nastiness says A GREAT DEAL about the person Oprah calls “The One”.
Selling a 4-month old with Down Syndrome on Ebay?
This is a new low, even for the SoetorObama camp.
Can you imagine the outrage if his opponent’s supporters created an Ebay listing showing SoetorObama or his children up for sale? There would be spasms of Racist! Racist! Racist shouting over that, we’re sure.
But, a 4-month old with Down Syndrome is fair game.
Sick.
There’s a point of no return coming with all of this stuff — we’ve seen this before. We think it’s a week or two away, tops, when SoetorObama supporters will have crossed a line that Middle America cannot ignore…just the way the McGovern fans did back in 1972.
Today’s Ebay attack makes us believe that line is going to involve little Trig in some way. What’s going to happen is that these SoetorObama fools will go too far in making fun of Trig that it will send a tingle of true horror down the collective spine of a majority of Americans — a Kool-Aid nullifying chill that cuts right through all the media garbage and makes them all wonder how they could have ever supported a man who surrounds himself with such thugs.
And when that happens, there will be no coming back. McCain/Palin will be up 15-20 points in the polls, and this election will be, truly, over.
So, make fun of little Trig at great risk, Kool-Aid Gang. And don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Obama can’t stop people from doing things like this any more than Senator Clinton (who is in Florida asking people to vote for Obama right & saying you and McCain are wrong) can stop you, No Quarter and other sites to stop writing posts like this (and using stupid language lie SoetorObama, Barry, and Obambi among other things).
September 8, 2008 at 5:40 pm
Logic – we highly doubt Hillary Clinton is in Florida right now saying we are wrong. We think Hillary Clinton has more important things to do with her day than talk about us.
You’re wrong about SoetorObama not being able to stop these people if he wants to — his campaign uses Kos and DU to spread the rumors and lies it wants spread, so if he didn’t want things like this up there attacking Palin, the people at both sites who communicate daily with the SoetorObama campaign would yank this stuff the moment it goes up.
These people are incredibly quick to censor anything that criticizes SoetorObama, and anyone posting anything that is not 100% pro-SoetorObama is instantly banned on these sites. So, we find it impossible to believe that if SoetorObama really wanted shameless attacks like this on Down Syndrome babies to stop, that DU and Kos couldn’t enforce that policy as strictly as it enforces their firm pro-SoetorObama stances.
September 8, 2008 at 5:44 pm
This is awful, shameful, disgusting. Obama could step up and say to his supporters- “Stop it”. They might not listen, but he really needs to distance himself from these idiots. The Obama paid blogger army should surf around the net and squash these things before they bubble up and explode in Obama’s face.
September 8, 2008 at 5:46 pm
I don’t know who is the bigger useful idiot. The “youth” vote and wackos who behave so stupidly or the politicians who believe that the badly behaving youth and wackos are somehow to be considered their “base”…
Personally I’ve never felt so damn conservative in my life. You liberals need to grow up a bit. Get a real job, run a real business, take on some real responsibility and grow the F*($k up.
More Americans would embrace less right wing principles but frankly the immature wing of your party, which seems to be in charge, scares the crap out of people.
It would seem that the democratic household lacks the maturity to manage and behave in a civilized manner.
Get civilized and grow up. Maybe you’ll get elected.

They are so disgusting.
How is Palin, bringing ALL of her children out on the stage, any different then Obama bringing his girls, or any other candidate bringing their children?
Do Obama supporters think that just because the kid is special needs, he should be hidden in a closet somewhere? Sarah Palin is treating him the same as any other child of a candidate. As it should be. He is her baby, and she is obviously proud of him, and wants him to share the stage with the rest of their family.
Calling him a prop is SO insulting. They are the ones using that baby. They are the ones using him as a prop. They are the ones insulting special needs people everywhere.

Do we have to wait until Obama loses in Nov before an expose comes out on these losers?
September 8, 2008 at 8:41 pm
This is disgusting. It is truly disgusting…but what it is are left wing wackos. It’s people who are obsessed with their party winning and sadly their leader picked the wrong running mate and they want they blame Sarah Palin for losing, because he will lose. BO grossly underestimated not only women, but the backlash that he is going to continue to incur. I have a special needs son and this is disgusting.
September 8, 2008 at 8:42 pm
That’s just it. Obama rarely says “stop it!” He did when pressed by the media, but he doesn’t clean up his own Website. In fact, I receive daily emails (as a former Obama supporter) from groups who say “we have to keep our candidate clean and do his dirty work.”
September 8, 2008 at 8:46 pm

OMG this is terrible. I want to know why the Obots think that Obama cannot be held responsible for what some of his supporters do that is crap. Obama is responsible for all actions done by his supporters unless he reputes it. He never does. He is getting his butt kicked now because he has no respect for people. He is a stuck up little sick person who needs to go back to Chicago and discuss whitey.

I have never once, ever, in the last six months, seen or heard Obama repudiate his wacko followers for the stunts they pull – like this latest one. When, in June, two Israeli newspapers contacted the Obama campaign because of horrific anti-Semitic comments appearing on the OFFICIAL Obama web site, the latter’s reply was that they had no control over what comments people posted on their web site!! Excuse me?? They PAY 300-400 bloggers to post comments, but they can’t pay even TWO of those to monitor and remove outrageous remarks?
I’m a lifelong Democrat, but I switched over to voting Republican months before Palin even came onto the campaign scene. The liberals have gone w-a-y too far this election season, and if Obama gets into office, I believe his supporters will take that as a license to participate even further in just plain bullying and nastiness.

Puh-lease.
Don’t fool yourselves, or try to fool me either, with fake high-minded concern for Sarah Palin or her children. If Hillary had won the nomination, and everything else was exactly the same, you’d probably be cheering the paid Democratic opera…excuse me, the lone nutcase who put this listing on ebay, and all the other horrible things your team is doing now to literally destroy a decent woman. It’s only that your loyalties are a little torn now, because the Democratic candidate beat your girl with some of the same tricks, and you’re upset about that, and because if you don’t stand up at least a little for someone of your own gender, you’ll look like the raving hypocrites that feminists really are.
It really doesn’t matter if Obama himself came out and called Trig a retard, or an Obama supporter tried to assassinate Palin, members of the left are so hooked into their ideology that every one of you will rush to the polls to vote for him, because he supports everything you believe in. (I’m not saying he does), but so what if The One personally approves of every underhanded, despicable, vile, dirty trick in the book, as long as he beats the evil devil-worshiping McBusHitler and his spawn Palin, who, after he steals the election, you just know will appoint David Duke to his cabinet, and then abolish the Constitution and declare himself king, right?
This kind of over-the-top smearing has been the preferred style of the left since the wonderful me-me-me baby boom generation came of age in the 1960’s. It was at least a bit more subtle under Clinton, who honed the politics of personal destruction to a fine art form. After all, if you can’t win an argument on the facts, or you want to avoid a guilty verdict where you are most certainly, like, you know, guilty, just dump a couple tons of false mud on your opponent, right?
We on the right have at least some principles. Until Palin was nominated, many of us were willing to see our so-called candidate go down, and were willing to stay home on election day. Please be honest enough to admit that, regardless of the horrible tenor of the campaign from your side, you will voting for Obama anyway.
Have that much courage.

September 9, 2008 at 10:01 am
Also, I love how Obama is responsible for the actions of his supporters (if this action even WAS done by a supporter, which is highly suspect to begin with) but Bush wasn’t responsible for the despicable Swift boat attack on Kerry in 2004. Just more hypocrisy coming out of the Republican mouths. That’s what we can expect from McSame.

You know, I don’t agree with the ebay selling of Trig, but I also don’t particullarly agree with what is being said about Obama either. It is easy for some to accuse him of not saying anything to these people but if I’m not mistaken, Obama has taken the time to say, publically, that the family is off limits.
http://www.npr.org/blogs/politics/2008/09/obama_leave_bristol_alone.html
Check out the link. Also, I will go as far as to say that Obama’s people try to keep blasen opinions at a minimum. After the incident with Madonna Obama’s people dismissed this kind of negative attack.
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1593432/20080825/madonna.jhtml
It is impossible to keep dibs on Obama supporters and what they are saying, right? Also, identifying supporters based on one website would be a biased view on the entire party. I bet there are Democrats that believe family should be left out of the discussion.
September 9, 2008 at 11:02 am
while the ebay auction was in bad taste, i don’t see how it’s any different than the right wingers and their “god hates gays” crap and other nonsense. listen to rush limbaugh or one of his clones for five minutes and you’ll hear something equally as bad about the dems or even fellow republicans (remember mccain’s black baby bs from the 2000 sc primary courtesy of the w crowd). there are crazies on both sides. and in case you weren’t paying attention when the palin kid getting knocked up came to light obama was the first to say the kids are off limits.
September 9, 2008 at 12:11 pm

If you’d been paying attention to people like Fred Phelps and his “Hillsboro Baptist Church”, you should have also noticed that they are pretty much universally excoriated by the Right.
Worse, for your argument, Phelps has run for political office in the past. As a Democrat.

I hate that people can generalize other Americans so easily, as if they don’t stop to think first. I am a person who is going to vote for the Democratic nominee, Senator Obama in our Presidential election. I am not some ‘thing’ that some of you would like to believe. I also did not put some foul ad up on ebay. Neither did millions of other Americans who are Democrats and also support the Democrat nominee. Why is it so important to scapegoat millions of Americans and make them look as if they are all doing something as ignorant as putting up a shameful ad. How does anyone know who actually did such a disgusting thing. Maybe even you – just so you could scapegoat millions of innocent, hardworking American citizens. I am really tired of the ugliness and of people acting like they are at war with citizens of their own country. It is absolutely shameful and other countries are laughing at all of us.

For the one who said if Hillary had won, we’d all be laughing and supporting things like this, I don’t think so.
Hillary worked hard for special education. Hillary is a strong supporter of it. Go do some research and see how she spent some of her time right out of college and you’ll discover she worked doing some of the research that got IDEA(You know, that little thing that guarantees children with special needs a PUBLIC education…) passed. No, she didn’t “pass” it, but she conducted interviews with families and worked hard for it.
I don’t think Hillary would ever approve of something like that and I highly doubt her supporters would ever find it funny.
He’s a baby. That was crude and tasteless. Of course not a surprise it was found at DU. That’s how they operate there.
September 9, 2008 at 3:11 pm
This whole post is lame since we have no proof the ebay listing existed in the first place and who says it was Obama supporters who posted it?

I’ve long thought, at some point, Obama’s supporters would take him down. Those of us who supported Hillary throughout the primary aren’t incredibly shocked by this despicable act. After all, they used similar tactics against the Clintons and their supporters, members of their own party.
Now, they are so incensed that McCain, with the selection of Palin, has one-upped them, that there is no level to which they won’t stoop. The difference is, the media is starting to pay attention.
September 9, 2008 at 4:56 pm
Since it’s impossible to prove who posted that disgusting ebay listing then a reasonable question to ask is “cui bono?”–who benefits? Clearly, the ad was meant to embarrass democrats and Obama supporters by tarring them as “disgusting.” I think it’s likely a republican operative of some dirty tricks squad planted the ad to smear Obama. Republicans have done it (and worse) before. Disclosure: I am a conservative, who can’t stand democrats messing with my paycheck, dismayed that the republican party, the party of Abraham Lincoln, has been hijacked by ultra-right religious extremists and torturers.

Some of these radical sites have gone completely out of control. I looked around some of the democratic forums to support my candidate during the primaries and I couldn’t believe what I saw and heard.
