I’m listening to McBush on the radio today, talking about outsourcing and the sting it’s left in much of working class America. The hurt that shifting decent jobs overseas and south of the border has put on much of middle class America.
McSame keeps calling us, “workers”. We’re more than “workers”, pal. We’re American citizens. The worker thing is only how we put food on the table and a roof over our head.
Leave it to a nouveau rich Republican to split America up into “us” and the “workers”.

Maybe Alan can listen to what Ron from Hollywood has to say instead of dumping him as fast as he possibly can. The kid needs help with all the programs for the disabled that seem to be getting cut because there is no money to pay for anything since the idiot in the white house still has us bogged down in Iraq and are sending our tax dollars to his buddies. Maybe Alan can actually have on Hannity & Colmes something Alan can up with to see if he can help Ron and his people.
Just a thought ..

I think this person from “Clintons4McCain” needs to seriously do her homework on McCain, after she has had some serious therapy.
June 10th, 2008 at 11:05 pm
That Cristi is a brainwashed fundamentalist, she’s just repeating religious propaganda that she has heard her hate spewing paster say.
Religions are societys accepted way to spew hatred.
She sounds so selfrighteous.

Alan, that was one superb interview you did with Cristi Adkins. You knocked down each and every one of her points. Beautifully done. Sounds to me like she was intent on spreading misinformation.
Something felt really off with Ms. Adkins. I think she had an agenda beyond not liking his character. She tried to imply that maybe Obama would like to see the stoning of children. That’s a really strange thing to say or to use as why one should not vote for Obama. Weird made up off the planet reasons.
She’s either a Republican operative, a racist, a hard core Hillary supporter who is just full of hate for Obama and out for vengence or possibly mentally ill. She almost sounded that way when you pointed out that she was incorrect about Obama only passing one bill. She was not in touch with reality. Total denial and delusional. Really strange.
That was some interview though. You ARE the best!

Monogamy may be unusual and strange, but there was a even stranger web dealing with the English crown. I can not remember which of earlier monarchs. The queen had a lover and the king had one as well. It just happen to be the same person!
There is some things they leave out of the school history books for a reason and this is one of them.
June 11th, 2008 at 12:23 am
I notice that these Democrats for McCain get talked about a lot on FOX News. Where’s the equal time for the Republicans for Obama?
How about getting some Obamacans on your radio show and FOX News, Alan?

Keep picking a scab and it will take longer to heal. The same thing applies to marriage. If you think about what you can’t have someday you’ll hate what you have or hate yourself enough to someday cheat. Spreading hate only hides the diseases you all have. Diseases like mental illness to include insecurity, narcissism, STDs and possibly others. There’s a reason they call it cheating.

i listened to ms. adkins on fox last night, she certainly sounds like a republican operative. she was claiming Obama was in with the liberal Hollywood leftist folks and that she didnt want him as president. Seems odd coming from a Clinton supporter. to completely shun the Hollywood crowd, if clinton needed their support she would be there in a second. could this be the swift boat group?
June 11th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
Joe Roseto: “i listened to ms. adkins on fox last night, she certainly sounds like a republican operative.”
Because of what I’ve read and seen of Adkins, I’m coming to the same conclusion. I heard Bill Press on Ed Schultz radio show say basically the same thing today. I think she’s a Republican at heart looking to manipulate the press which in turn ends up manipulating the viewers (voters).

Sorry to disappoint you, i’m an ind. not a dem or a repub.
Women are not single issue voters and we aren’t going to fall in line with the DNC like Stepford Wives. As much as you don’t want to hear it, we just don’t like Obama.
But, then again, you already know that.

And the reason you don’t see repubs for Obama on Fox is because there aren’t any…
June 14th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
Go ahead and blow us off if it makes you feel better to be in denial. There are a LOT of us out there and we are NOT the lunatic fringe. This is not about racism or anger. It is about FEAR. That will not go away before November.
Obama is a dangerous man and his wife is a hater and a racist.

How can a Presidential candidate have his children baptised, be married in and attend a racist, anti-American,Anti-Semitic church for tweny years and then claim he had no idea as to what was going on there.

John McCain is a true hero. He is not a racist and does not referr to anyone who disagrees with him as one.

Golly goodness…Cristi and Jack Kashinsky show up here too. Busy little Republicans, these two.
Here’s the story (are you listening, Alan?)
On May 15, the domain name “clintonsformccain.com” was registered to The Republican National Committee. Yes, indeed. You can verify this in 60 seconds with a check at ‘register.com’ (see whois lookup)
A writer at Wired magazine got wind of this and sent two queries to the RNC. No reply, not surprisingly. She wrote up the story and published in June 5 http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/06/republican-nati.html
Coincidence of coincidences, on June 4 a second registration was entered but this time with the “for” changed to “4″ and now with the registrant’s identity hidden.
Of course, just listening to Cristi in her interviews on Fox (it would be Fox, wouldn’t it?) or just checking her sites and myspace pages (or the related websites justsaynodeal, puma, etc etc) gives the real game away. There is NOTHING to be found anywhere that addresses or even mentions Hillary’s platform proposals or her political philosphy. It is all “Obama is a scary Muslim”, “the DNC was sprung from the thighs of Satan”, and “vote for McCain”.
It’s RNC talking points, Obama smears and NOTHING else. Go look.
Given these folks’ claims to lifelong Democratic Party allegiance or even an Independent status, you’d suppose they might find traditional Democratic issues and values important…but they are never mentioned. Hillary’s position on choice? On social programs? On taxes? On Iraq? On affirmative action? On Supreme Court nominees? None of that makes an appearance in Cristi’s interviews or sites.
All of which is, of course, completely incoherent and inconsistent. Unless these folks are just simply lying through their teeth. And they are.
But I sincerely recommend you look at Cristi’s myspace pages. You’ll find images of Barack made to look like Osama. You’ll find images where he is made to look like a veld-striding African native (no bone through the nose, but that’s the idea). Really disgusting racism and bigotry, as bad as anything I’ve seen on the net.
Just to be straight on who these jerks really are.

Not a spy, Cristi. Nothing that smart or sexy. You’re just an operative who’s lying, no different than any other Republican functioning enthusiastically at the instructions of Rush with his “operation chaos”. Though possibly I suppose you have aspirations to become another Fox blonde. I did notice that on one site where you were hawking some earlier version of the truth (getting rid of toxins through the feet, if I recall correctly) you saw reason to brag about your tight butt.
But let’s leave all that aside and consider it mere relevance fallacy. Let’s go to the issues. I’m sure you’re up to it.
You’re a passionate Hillary supporter. We know this because you say so.
We are certain that your support is not just a shallow consequence of sexism because you are strongly against sexism and we know that because you say so.
Your support for Hillary will be substantive. Serious. You are a substantive and serious person, aren’t you? So would you please elucidate the platform positions which Hillary advances (and has all her mature political career) which have compelled you to support her so vitally.
For example, please talk (it can be brief) about why Hillary’s choices for the SC would be a good thing for America.
Explain how Hillary’s position on strengthening unions will make America a better place.
Tell us, please, what Hillary’s policies on choice will be and why they are reasonable and just.
We’d like to hear also about her statements on getting America’s forces out of Iraq and why these ideas align with your own.
Explain please how Hillary’s allegiance to the liberal traditions of the Democratic party, eg strong and available social safety net mechanisms are necessary to help bring about a just and fair and more chartiable (in the classic Christian sense) world.
And I guess we’d need to hear also on what the Republicans have gotten wrong for so long about health care, as we know how key this matter is to Hillary and her politics.
Then, as I know you are going to attempt to shortcut any serious discussion of these matters above with the utterly vacuous claim that you support her for her “character” (which, of course, Obama has none of but McCain has oodles of…not that this key RNC talking point comes out of your mouth because it is a key RNC talking point…hell, that’s just coincidence) could you please advise how McCain’s joke, “Chelsea is so ugly because Janet Reno is her father” really does the trick for you, hater of sexisim and respecter of character.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
oh…ps…your myspace page has an image of Obama (everyone should go look at her myspace page for this) where he’s portrayed with a naked torso and where his head and body are covered with traditional African jewelry…you know, he’s shown as a native who has just been striding across the veld, surely with a spear in hand. All that’s really missing is the bone through his nose. Could you tell us all about your decision, because you have character too, to include this disgustingly racist image on your page?
