Ed uses plants in the audience?

I just recalled this from the Boston show. Someone yelled out to Eddie "Who are you voting for?" and he responded with "I like to keep my political views to myself," probably not exactly but something like that if I remember correctly. And then an Obama '08 banner walked across the stage. So wouldn't this have to have been set up?

I'm just laughing thinking of the thought of Eddie using plants for some reason.

    That's pretty funny. Wouldn't bother me but alot of people around here seem to flip out when people have been yelling stuff at his solo shows. Something tells me they wouldn't freak out about this one eventhough it's almost exactly the same as shouting out requests.

    halfway into the thread, I'm like what the fuck does that title mean?

    there has to have been a better way to phrase that, lol.

    it's funny, I always usually agreed with most of Ed's politics, but this is one of the bigger ones that I don't agree with at all.

    Seriously doubt anyone is getting swindled. The greater evil has been in office for the past 8 years and look where we're at. Obama may be the lesser evil; but i think the past 8 years has been a lesson learned.

    maybe some of us are sick and tired of choosing between the lesser of the two evils and want a real red blooded American patriot in office!!!

    I'm sick of these silver spoon scum bags and their empty promises selling us out in the name of their bank accounts. so you & Ed and the rest of the naive lemmings can run and vote for Obama.you are all pipe dreaming if you think he isn't just as much of a useless puppet as Bush.

    oh and just for the record i fucking HATE McCain !!

    and to anyone who is about to say anything about this being a subject for the "moving train"....you can kiss my ass!! 2 X !!

    Wow. Yeah I too thought Ed was more informed on this puppet. I guess not. Too bad.
  • over bendsover bends Posts: 1,568
    I don't think Obama is the answer, but I am voting for him because I think it would go a long way to restoring America's image if we vote him in. It won't be much, but it's a start. It's bound to be better than voting in McCain anyway. None of these candidates may be the answer but Obama brings an excitement to this country's politics that the country desperately needs. Yea, voting in a guy because he is exciting is no bueno, but when the alternative is Mccain, then yea, it's why Obama gets my vote.

    What exactly do you mean by "red-blooded American patriot"? I guess Obama doesn't qualify because he's black and has a weird name.

    Just curious, who would you actually want to run for president? I might take the Obama-haters more seriously if you suggested an alternative.

    yeah I found the term "red-blooded american patriot" a little strange as well. I guess it's the opposite of "blue blooded" as in rich. I respect Obama because of his education, he was a professor. I'll take a professor over a "patriot" (soldier?) any day.

    Patriot as in someone who loves his country first and foremost!! (like Thomas Jefferson or Patrick Henry!!) and is going to do things with the interest of our country and it's people first.

    Ron Paul is 1000x the man Obama will ever be.i know there are a lot of idiots that spread disinfo about Ron on the net but he is fore-father material and would of set this country back on course.But the establishment fears him so they did a few things to try and disscredit him and all the morons swallowed it hook,line & sinker.

    Obama is just a puppet like bush,in the pocket of the Zionists and big business.the only problem is Americans are too stupid and controlled by the media to understand what is going on and who is really to blame.

    please don't pull that black shit with me either,i could care less if he was polka dotted.i am willing to bet i have more friends of color than most of you on this board so please don't insinuate I'm raciest because you'd be dead wrong.

    all i care about is my country and the dire condition it is in!!!

    i make it a point to seek the truth! i don't fall for divide and conquer tactics anymore (democrat vs republican,liberal vs conservative)
    i was a "leftest type" democrat before i woke up so i know where a lot of you are coming from because i was once there too.

    maybe some of you saw me at Mansfield I with my "either way we are fucked '08" shirt. I think it sums it up quite nicely.
