 RS> Bull.

You see, I didnt say a single thing negative to you or about you and your
first instinct is to up the volume, what are you retaliating here for, just
curious?

 RS> You mean like how conservative Hugh Hewitt described Harvard graduates

Diversion, strawman??

Non-sequitur

Not good enough for you, how about two wrongs dont make a right???

 RS> Such as...?

I have all of their names in a PDF file, let me dig it up, just got back
from PA conducting the poll.

Statistically speaking, he stereotyped the working class, labor more to the
point, some of them were his own voters, if they werent, his stereotype
would have been more specific.

Unless you were born yesterday, there are Democrats whom own guns, go to
Church and have employment issues.

 RS> The 2004 elections were mostly decided by the knuckledrag contingents

When the liberals were digging up their statistics, they failed to mention
that Kerry got the bulk of High School dropouts..

Kerry didnt lose the election based on the swift boat affair.

 RS> Yet the right-wing continues to falsely describe Obama as
"elitist,"

Obama is not as poor and deprived as he paints himself to be.

 RS> Why?
 RS> Like I said, they are scared shitless of him.

Good grief, this mudslinging takes place all of the time, and frankly most
of the negative shit that has been said about bam bam has come from either
his own mouth or Hillary, in contrast, McCain hasnt said hardly anything,
which we both know will change after the conventions.
