    The Republican fear-mongering worked in '04, so they're hoping to pull the same stunt again. It's too bad for McCain that Cheney doesn't like him or Dickie could rehash his BS about us being attacked again if a Dem is elected.


    And you don't think the Demoncrats are fearmongering? They are, just a different issue.

    it would be refreshing for each side to come back to earth a little and just speak to the realities, as the realities are more than enough, you don;t have to embellish.

    What I took him to mean, is that be talking about Islamic terrorists the only people you are offending are terrorist (because that is who you are talking about). Nothing to do with Islam...more to do with Terrorist...that when speaking of terrorist, if you shouldn't try to be pc so that you don't hurt the terrorist's feelings.

    i think i see what you're saying. i'd have to see the speech to put it in context. it reads pretty bad though. and i don't think the point is about being PC, i think it's about demonstrating that we are aware terrorism is not limited to one religion and that our efforts to eradicate terrorism should be directed at all terrorism. it's a way of reassuring that this is not a holy war, which some of the rhetoric of the last 8 years makes it sound like at times. case in point: palin's claim that iraq was a war called for by god.
    and like that... he's gone.

    I think its hilarious how people not from the bay think this is a great insult.

    We are proud of San Francisco and the ideals. Its one of the few places in this country where you still feel free to be who you are and whatever you believe in is accepted, EXCEPT racist bigoted behavior.

    So you can have your Alabama and I will take my San Fransisco and we can both be happy.

    see the bushies fear mongered of the threats that have not happened since 9/11 ... that this world is full of terrorists coming to get us ... every day in every corner of our live .... TERROR ALERT ORANGE!!!!


    Obama's "fear mongering" is about REAL things that are going on now ... like the wars that are going on ... the failing economy ... these things, people can see every day.


    I agree with you in that ... it would be nice if the drama, the strategy, the theatre of this whole fucking thing would just stop and they really would think about how to help heal this country, and get it out of the problems we currently have ...

    Kinda dangerous to put a mind-bender like that in a speech. It's bound to be misconstrued.

    Guiliani's speech was more like a Johnny Carson opening monologue - without being funny, of course - although I did laugh a lot, come to think of it. Where is Ed McMahon when you need him ?

    Amazing - just amazing. The trouble is, this guy represents a sizeable number of people in your country, that's what is scary.

    If someone had taken the major events of your countries last 8 years, and condensed it into a 3 hour film, it would be one of the funniest and most tradgic films in the world. Please make sure there is to be no sequel, we can't take it

    I don't think the world could tolerate another 4 years of this unadulterated crap. I swear if it is a close race the rest of the world is going to step in and demand that we also be allowed vote from now on, as we have been on the shit end of alot of decisions that these idiots (Republicans) have made.

    Quote of the day!
    And it does scare me tha people are putting such a concern on someone's name, even if it is a small, idiot, minority.

    And before you say anything, I am an American citizen (dual). However I'm ashamed of what the Bush administration has done over the last 8 years. Obama WILL go a long way in restoring the US' standing in world affairs...

    There IS a reason I travel on my Canadian passport.
