What stupid things has Barack said during this Compassion Forum?

Keep me updated, I'm not watching it right now. I'm watching Rock of Love. He had to say something that threw the Democratic party and its members under the bus (like usual)... right?

15. Did you say that about the other one?
Or is your ire one sided?

22. Here you go,
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5488706

Sometimes, you have to hold a mirror up to show how silly it is getting. I apologize to you (even if you're on the other side ;) ) if you didn't see it.

BO supporters have done it before (and rightfully so more times than not) to Hillary supporters.

2. He said your candidate would rather tear her opponent down than lift the country up
And he's right.

21. As soon as Hillary has to answer for everything her supporter Ann Coulter says.
Or Rush Limbaugh.

You were saying?

Or that BO won't take his picture with Gavin Newsome.

There's a lot to say...

27. You WOULD pose for a photo with him either?
And Obama had an opinion when it was Imus, how...credible for his moral stance to be absent now. I certainly said nothing about Randi Rhodes being a part of Obama's campaign. I said she was a national supporter, and she damn well is.

I don't recall calling Hillary her highness, but she does have a tendency to rise. And, of course, with a NINETY FIVE PER CENT same voting record as your guy, she can't possibly be as bad as you insinuate, now can she?

I mean, if she's so full of shit, but has a 95% same record as your guy, what does that say about HIM?

keep up the dance Obamaniac. You even needed to put words in my mouth to GET to your silly conclusion. Suuuuuuuuuuuure I said Randi Rhodes was part of his campaign.

Whatever it takes to get you through the day.

39. If she's not part of the campaign then why does he need to apologize for her?
How would the apology go, anyway?

"See, there's this woman who is not affiliated with my campaign in any way. She has a radio show. One night she called my opponent an effing whore at a comedy event. Although she is not connected to me or my campaign in any way, I denounce and reject her."

45. Who said anything about apologies? Please stop putting words in my mouth.
I said, why didn't he lambast her? He had an opinion with Imus, why not here?

*I* did not say she was working for his campaign, you did. I said nothing about an apology, again, you did. It's like you're having a conversation all by yourself.

I don't even think I alerted it. But 'tis no matter. Maybe you should try being appropriate for a change.

It's only a civil conversation if you say it is? Tell me where your guy's plan is more universal than hers. It is not. There is nothing you'll find that will even suggest it. Maybe you don't like the truth.

bye to you too.

Can you refute the red state caucus thing? How 'bout naming which of those red states your guy will carry this Fall. It's time to take your head outta the sand.

His health plan is more universal than hers? PROVE IT. Her plan is more universal than his. PERIOD.

55. Maybe we're more of a quasi-religious country, and one religions' values are another's sin
Superficial ones comes to mind (and aids in brevity) but...eating pork, etc. There are several others with more gravitas, but you get my drift. The Democratic Party has never really been one to pigeon hole a particular religious ideology the way the right wing embraced Southern Evangelicism.

But that is because we embody ALL of them.

This 'debate' tonight was nothing more than CNN's attempt to prop up Cambell Brown, and Ms. Brown returning to her Southern roots. (and making her hubby happy in the process)

41. Mezzo, Actually I didn't think either one did an outstanding job tonight
It was almost like they were going through the motions. Listening to the commentators they expressed two issues, the Wright issue and the gun/church issue in reference bitter people in PA. The other issue was that Obama believed in creationism and he also believed in evolution, which was a little confusing. One thing Obama expressed many times was in his earlier life he worked in community organizations in Chicago to remind people he is just like the blue collar workers, but, it didn't come across as believable

and endorsing McCain over him as commander in chief she now has to take down Gore and Kerry. That's the stupidest thing your candidate said during the forum.

49. Um...through no fault of his own, Al Gore WAS labeled an elitist.
The Liberal Elitist, or the Intellectual Elitist, and WHILE I DO NOT AGREE WITH THAT, it did happen.

Al Gore also never said he invented the internet. Of course, you'd have to understand proper English, which I am pretty sure he does.

Al Gore was labeled one and I am not altogether sure he deserved it. In fact, I know he did not. They said that Al Gore expected a coronation too, whilst they propped up W to be the everyday guy.

He spoke a truth most people could understand about how religion can be a positive within the confines of a diverse society and work for the common good. It wasn't a dividing issue as the Clinton and republican people want it to be through false placation.

56. His explanation of the "babies as punishment" line was very weak, IMHO.
He fumbled around talking about his daughters making a mistake and getting pregnant at 12 or 13 if they had sex or "unprotected sex." That last comment could pose problems--is sex for 12 or 13 year olds okay if it is protected?

He just fumbled around. I'm sure the punishment babies will be back in the fall.

Frankly, if his daughters get pregnant at that age, if they could, then he and Michelle might be considered to have made some mistakes. I wonder if the pubbies could do anything with that.
