Also removed? Any mention of God.
And before any of you racist Zionist evangelical wingnuts (but I repeat myself!) go making any fraught connections between these two entirely disparate omissions, allow me to remind you that some of Obama’s best friends are Chuck Schumer.
So.

what’s the status of allan ackbar
I wonder if those Rashid Khalidi tapes would give us any insight here?
How about Allah? I’ll bet he’s mentioned in there somewhere.
– I’m watching the leadoff speakers at the DNC. My first impressions: Are there any white peop;e in the whole building?
I don’t think we’ve covered this, but the Obama administration has sent word to Iran that if Israel strikes them, we won’t have her back and please don’t hurt us.
Pro-Israeli language removed from US-Israeli dialogue.
– Him and his band of assholes have to go.
– Any more mo’fo’s want to try to claim he’s not a Muslim?
They are all backstage, pulling the strings.
One almost gets the impression that the only thing deterring the Democrats from having an oven plank is their dependence on Jewish votes and money.
I was just watching Brett Baier asking Dick Durbin about the platform change and why they decided to do it. Durbin spent an entire 3 minute segment blustering about how insulted he was that the GOP would dare to suggest that the donkeys don’t believe in God or that they didn’t support Israel. Brett just kept asking him the question while Durbin got redder and redder and louder and louder.
What a tool.
don’t forget last week’s jumah for the ummah
World war is a proven fix for a depression.
Google it.
I guess I’m more surprised that they actually had pro-Israel language in their platform at some point than that they took it out.
– They’ve finally ceossed a line, and if we have a war it will most likely be of the civil variety.
Here’s Durbin’s interview.
Wow. Dick came right out and beat the hell out of that strawman, didn’t he?
– Shorter Durbin: “I’m not going to answer that because…….Well its Bushes fault.”
“Also, FAUX NOISE!!!1!1!!”
DNC: ‘Government is the only thing that we all belong to’
– Along with the Deficit clock that passed the 16 trillion mark just as the opening gavel fell at the DNC, here’s something else you won’t see flashed on the jumbo TV screens at the DNC.
DNC Platform Lets Hamas Off the Hook
Jeff Dunetz reports:
Comparing the language of the 2008 Democratic Party Platform and the 2012 Democratic Party Platform a key section was removed.
That section called for isolating Hamas “until it renounces terrorism,” so now, evidently, Democrats are OK with Hamas terrorism.

Back when me and some of my friends did Match.com, we came to learn rather quickly that the category of “spiritual, but not religious” was just code for atheistic left wing Jew. That’s what’s sad, really, a very large number of Jewish people aren’t religious at all, feel no connection to Israel, and their Jewishness such as they acknowledge it at all is purely tribal or cultural.
O good god. They’re doing a montage about Teddy Kennedy.
Durbin’s defense:
“Bret, let me suggest something, I chaired the platform committee for two Democratic conventions. We produced the most unread document in the history of American politics. To suggest that this document and the insertion of two words here and one word there now defines politics in America suggests to me that you’re not focusing on the real issues that Americans care about.”
The crazy, it burns.
“. . . they were simply following what the Obama administration’s policy is . . . ”
Puts that cult of personality dealio in a starker light, don’t it?

Alan Dershowitz has a thing or two to say.
My moron governor is a fucking embarrassment.
that khalidi tape would be fun to see right now
Pablo, without more information that doesn’t really help me figure out which state you reside in.
Lincoln Chafee tells that tale.
charles, if you were watching this clown show, you’d have seen that the clearly retarded Lincoln Chafee was speaking.
If they meet up in the afterlife, his father is going to kick his ass.
So much for the wisdom of crowds, eh?
Not watching. To be fair I didn’t watch much of the RNC convention either until the last night. My wife gets tired of hearing me say, “You lie!” to the television.
This is how awesome Linc is. I’m wondering if there’s any chance that Charlotte could keep him.
Michelle Obama is on now. I’m watching Masterchef.
I’m watching Dance Moms.
i luvs plantation states by the sea shore
I’m watching Hard Knocks.
We’re about to see the chump from San Antonio.
Of course I live in fucking Austin, which shuts down local public library branches and doesn’t fix streets on the east side so it can put in toll roads on roads built by taxes, build art museums in the revitalized downtown, put a vastly underutilized commuter train that goes from Austin to Leander, and pour money into the F1 race track hole. So I should probably just pipe down now.
The government is flying in chartered G5’s. I’m driving a (thankfully cash bought) hyundai and watching my stocks shrink and my CD’s pay nothing and waiting for my job to be made redundant as soon Obamacare is a sure thing. I’m shrinking and government blocks out the son like the hovering city of Laputa when the philosophers are angry. The best I can realistically hope for is that Romney will change the flavor of the big government and democrats will go nuts frothing at the mouth about the need for a revolution against the 1%.

RI Gov. Linc Chafee Unveils Plan To Tax RI’s Way To Prosperity

should’ve went for the monorail
What the heck are they chanting?
Well at least this Catro hasn’t called me a gusano yet.
But he tells a story about how his orphaned grandma won a menudo cook-off to pay the $300 hospital bill (which seems suspiciously low for someone his age) and then criticizes Romney for telling people to go to their parents to start a business instead of a government loan or grant. She did it without the government you twerp! Why can;t everyone else?
And here’s Michelle to tell me I’m fat and so are the kidz and she just wants to help. And She sounds like a bad soap opera actress with that harp music in the background.
yes the house in hawaii is lookin’ good
What? “We can’t take short-cuts or play by our own rules”, Michelle.
You lie.
Michelle’s speech doesn’t jibe well with the existence of Antony Rezko or Jon Corzine. Or the teacher’s union. Ot the >250K tax burden. Or all the regulations. Or the increased energy and food costs.
It just doesn’t.
You lie. (This is your cue Maureen Dowd.)
– No she’s being honest Leigh. Her and Barry played by all the affirmative action rules to the hilt.
– ‘Course he can’t release his transcripts because then they’rd be so ‘splainin to do on why he registered as a ‘foreign exchange student’ to get his tution paid, but that’s just a formality.
Shit, can’t anybody play this game?
I saw Durban’s performance about “god” in the platform, and he came across like an asshole.
As for Israel (and the rumors about Baracky not getting their back) – I asked a jewish liberal friend about that on Monday, and she told me her feelings about Israel were “complicated” and she “didn’t wish to talk about it.”
Got it.
I watched about 15 min of Michelle’s speach – that’s all I could stomach. I loved her lecturing us about how HARD things were for them and how they are just working so hard for all us little people.
But for some reason, I couldn’t get the images out of my head of Michelle in Aspen, and Hawaii, and all those vacations. And that 35 million dollar house being rumored to be their future home.
Anyone who buys her bullshit is a sucker.
I remember when me and my wife were fresh out of Harvard Law, had all those high powered law firms and hassling us to come to work for them for big money. Some of them even expected us to like show up for work and stuff.
The horror.
Michele said something to the effect that Barack has lived the American Dream.
I would have to agree with that. After all, most people could only dream of being raised by upper-middle-class grandparents in frickin’ Hawaii, partaking of Hawaii’s best unsung cash crop in high school, sailing through Columbia and Harvard, getting a book deal while still a complete unknown, serving one term in the Senate and then getting elected president.
American Dream, certainly. But this is not an American Dream where much effort is involved, other than toward some sharpening-up of bowling and golf scores. I bet the guy rocks at euchre.
“I watched about 15 min of Michelle’s speach – that’s all I could stomach. I loved her lecturing us about how HARD things were for them and how they are just working so hard for all us little people.”
“Anyone who buys her bullshit is a sucker.”
She’s the Tammy Fae Baker to Obama’s Jim Baker. Joe Biden is Jimmy Swaggart blended with SideShow Bob.
‘God wants you to send us money and in return…bless your heart! Doesn’t it feel great to be part of something bigger than you are? ‘

And their LLOOOOOONNNNNGGGG struggle upwards really revealed their character. The kids were practically grown before they finally reached financial security.
I hope those to girls aren’t riddled with memories of hand-me-down clothing and second-hand toys. *shudders*
I really wish they’d get called out on their bullshit. Shtruggle? I’ll show you shtruggle, bitch. It’s amazing she has the shtrength to get through the day.
Oops. I guess she was up yesterday.
So many liars, so little content.
Wrong thread. See Fluke, Sandra.

I don’t know who she’s talking to? I mean, I suppose she’s trying to fool people into thinking she can identify with them about student loans, and not having extra money etc.
But, the problem is that MOST of us don’t know the “right” people who can parlay our nothing job into a presidential gig, complete with Hawaiian vacations and hob-nobbing with the Hollywood crowd.
Fluke’s speech must have been really impressive, since absolutely no one is talking about it.
The fact that they can’t recognize that they are contradicting their own messaging is what floors me.
Her MS stricken old man, busted ass everyday everyday! never missing a day of work to put her and her brother through Princeton. He took out loans for them!!
When she and Jughead got married, their student loan payments were the same as their mortgage? What? Who gave them that mortgage?
Did they have their kids in a charity hospital? They had a car. The elitists! Who gave them that car?
She’s speaking tonight. Odd, but the DNC lists her as a lawyer.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz will pay no price for lying — twice! — in the broad light of day. And now, dumbass Bill Kristol has attached her name to Todd Akin.
So the answer is: No one can play this game.
Due to weather concerns (ha!), they are moving the Wonce’s speech indoors to a smaller venue.
Pablo, I see Fluke listed as “Georgetown Law School graduate” so it sounds like she hasn’t passed the bar.
Oh, I totally see where this is going.
I see: “Sandra Fluke
Attorney and Women’s Rights Activist”
…on the schedule.
