2. Someone did that on CNN the other day.
Maybe Obama should put his foot down about this, because if he is the nominee - the gopers are going to do it non-stop and say oops.
Just like they put a D next to McCain's name on Fox yesterday - oops.

3. Shit happens. Remember when Ted Kennedy had a hell of a time saying
Obama instead of Osama?

6. No, and stop knee-jerk reacting. I was obviously referring to the

UNINTENTIONAL Obama/Osama slips, otherwise I would have mentioned Shuster.

Sheesh.

EDIT to add I'm not a Hillary supporter, if that's where you think I'm coming from.

11. Knee-jerking? An unintentional slip is the same as putting his name on a photo of Osama? Ludicrous!

8. I don't think that Democrats should take any of this.
It's not ok, and it's time we started saying so.

Stop defending the right-wing media. They attack Democrats all the time, and when we don't call them on it, we lose.

9. David Letterman did it a few nights ago.
It was apparently an accident. Should he fire himself?

12. Here is the comparison
They are slips of the tongue:

Obama ==> Osama

Chelsea Clinton ==> Pimp Out Chelsea Clinton

See, it's almost the same!

14. Here is a better comparison:
Edited on Fri Feb-08-08 05:26 PM by ProSense
Hillary's campaign is upset with David Shuster, but the Clintons are best friends with McCain

Bill Clinton: John McCain and Hillary are 'very close'

McCain and his blogger apparently agree: Chelsea Clinton is "ugly"

15. McCain apologized -- in person.
Let David Shuster do so as well.

I'm sure they'll work it out without your efforts to "promote" Obama.

18. Actually, yes, I am.
I'm surprised that anyone, even someone infantile, would insult me based on my handicap.

Amazing.

Not all of the scum rises.

17. Obama is running for President. Chelsea is NOT. BIG DIFFERENCE, though that Osama shit is over the
line too and I said so at the time.
