Ex-Dem Chair Apologizes for Hurricane Remark

ANY WORSE than the Right-Wingnut F on the F MORON?
Dobson’s Focus on the Family member, Stuart Shepard asks Christians to pray for rain on Aug. 28, when Obama is scheduled to give an outdoor address at Denver’s Mile High Stadium during the Democratic National Convention.
Shepard calls for “abundant rain, torrential rain … flood-advisory rain.” He adds, “I’m talking about umbrella-ain’t-gonna-help-you rain … swamp-the-intersections rain.”

How can he say that? That’s horrible.

So, it’s thr right wing nut cases’ fault and he was just waxing comedic about Jerry Fallwell’s comment of several years ago???? Right. And he only appologizes if anyone was offended, not because its a gross error of judgement and callous remark towards the lives of millions of Americans. Right!

Dems-the party of hypocracy – a few words of (not even a sincere) apology, yet nasty commdemnation of the person who did it, and all is okay. Republican – 3 days of the comments repeated all over the media, talking heads punishing the party in general, and removal from office. Which really is the nasty-a** party?

What kind of nutjob sits on an airplane and records the conversation of the people in front of him? Dem or Republican, that IS a nutjob.

Oh please . . . the only thing that dolt is sorry about is that he got caught. He and Spratt are vile people and lying is just another sad part of their character. The left is despicable.

I wonder if the Democrats would have put a damper on their own parade had the situations been reversed and Gustav coincided with their convention. Somehow I can’t see the Clintons giving up the spotlight for a mere hurricane.

Fowler’s comments about Gustav and his apology are offensive. The sad truth is dems don’t even see anything wrong when they talk like this. I bet dems are hoping things go badly with Gustav in the gulf so they can blame the Repubs.

The Dem’s have Totally Lost their values… This EX Dem turned Independant Will Vote McCain/Palin ’08′ – For Serious Solutions To Serious Problems!! The Mavric Puts Country First!!!

Sarah WHO???

Well, Obama has bashed McCain for visiting Pearl, MS today, which is about 120 miles north of Biloxi, (I know, because I live in Hattiesburg, MS) and yes, the storm scares the HECK out of me. Anyone in their right mind that thinks this is an act of God is ridiculous.. IT IS HURRICANE SEASON…. September starts the height of hurricane season.. If anything, this is John McCain’s chance to say Look how far we’ve come.. Getting people out of harms way, working together as Americans, and learning lessons from Katrina.. My house might get blown away and I am stocked up on food, water, and gas in my vehicles, but John McCain is going to show the hateful democrats exactly how far the republicans have come. God is Good (All the time).. even in a Hurricane!!

Wow, I feel any elected official has no right to privacy while appearing in public. They gave that right up when they ran for office! Don’t want to give the right to privacy up, then don’t serve in public office! We the electorate need to know what big hypocrites they are!

with peepaws dementia and the barracuda’s PTA experience…we’re gonna be just fine!
peepaw/mom 08!

GOD is DEAD
It’s McCain you have to WORRY ABOUT!
OH and Debra…BULL!
NO REAL HILLARY VOTER SUPPORTS PALIN!
—————————————–
PALIN DRAWS BOOS trying to suck the Hillary Clinton vote.
http://blogs.reuters.com/trail08/2008/08/31/mccains-vp-pick-palin-draws-boos-when-mentioning-hillary-clinton/

Rep. Gov. Jindal is great and very close with Sen. McCain and speaking now to the press regarding LA and Gustav. This is so great that we have learned from katrina and the Republicans are doing a great job and will be able to postpone their convention and address how far we’ve come in being prepared for these dilemas.
McCain/Palin

So this liberal nut performs the infamous liberal apology…i’m sorry that i got caught and i blame those evil neo-con conservative nut balls.
Oh liberals…do we really have to share the same country with them?

I’m confident it was a joke. And a simple apology would have been sufficient. Too bad he had to tack on that he was recorded by a “right wing nut job” since most reasonable people who overheard the joke would have found it in poor taste. You wouldn’t have to be a right wing nut job to know someone who holds a public position doesn’t need to make those kinds of comments.

Who would think some right wing nut case would record a private conversation, who would believe that anyone would say something so crude! I figure you could always turn it around and say who says it’s God that sent the hurricane, maybe it’s the devil trying to disrupt the good guys… I really don’t think God has a side!

I’n noticing the same crass, low class Democrats on this blog. Never mind that people have lost their lives with this storm, and homes and businesses will be lost. You people make me sick and are all on par with your spokesman Micheal Moore.
Personally I don’t care about the convention. The Republican party has their act together and McCain will be offically elected the candidate for his party, rain or shine. The Republican’s are willing to set aside their party to help the people of the storm. That is what politicians are, servants to the people who elect them. I didn’t watch the Democrat convention, I had better things to do with my time than watch the losers pander and preen in from of the camera and the “Messiah” address his flock. Hillary should be ashamed to be a part of the Democratic party. For once Michelle is right, “America is a down right mean country”, but she was talking about the left, the only people she knows.

Sam the boos were when Hillary gave a stump speech for Bozo(hopefully her last…she was kicked in the teeth by this party and has done more than any other opponent in the history of nominations)…so the boos were from Obama supporters….NOT McCAIN/PALIN SUPPORTERS…can’t wait to see the analysis after the election of Hill supporters for McCain/Palin.

NO real swing to PALIN..PERIOD!
Ask RIGHTWING Rasmussen Reports:
PALIN was WEAK choice among women and moderates, the groups McCain was PANDERING to.

NO REAL GOPer COULD SUPPORT EITHER.
EMINENT DOMAIN and HIGHER TAXES?
Palin’s EMINENT DOMAIN SCAM is enough to keep ANY TRUE REPUBLICAN from voting for her.
10-yrs later and Wasilla is STILL paying for that mess, with HIGHER TAXES and LESS SERVICES.
http://www.adn.com/matsu/story/474934.html

TYPICAL DEM… even when he gets BUSTED he still blames someone else.

How righteous, petty and low class of the Republicans to inject themselves into a private conversation and then making it public. The ramped corrupt Republican officials are keeping the criminal justice system busy. In reality, the Party has no record of achievement to run a campaign so pettiness is the measure of the day—most pathetic!

I see the Democrats feel the need to defend this loon in their party. I would be embarrased too. What if a Republican was overheard saying this? It would have been bigger news than Gustav by the drive by media. For the few Democrats who actually believe in God, (Not your Obama, the real God) this isn’t punishment to the Republican party, this is God exposing the Democrats for who they really are.

Is anyone noticing that it’s the private conversations of the Democrats that are getting taped and nationally exploited? What is disturbing is not what Fowler, Obama and others have said in private, but the attack tactics in recording them. If visible political figures have to be cautious all the time of their communications, then perhaps we should also.

now you know which way I lean–I would have done the same thing as the “nutcase”–

All the so called Hillary supporters are actually GOP paid posters. The lowest of the lowest.

I believe that God is on the side of the Democrats. How much evil, corruption, criminal behavior, greed, graft, lieing, and hateful actions do you think our God is going to put up with. The people just don’t seem to have the sense to realize that the republicans have been very wrong on most, if not all, important things to America.

kat,
Political figures shouldn’t be saying the things Fowler, Michael Moore and the rest of the radical liberal nutjobs are saying, in public or private. They should be figuring out how to help their constituents instead of making jokes and laughing about their plight.

Rhonda,
“Obama is scared to take McCain on at a real townhall”
Only 5.5 million tuned to “The Rev. Rick Warren’s Show.”
WHY because it was FIXED!
Should ANYONE EXPECT McCain to play fair, HE LIED to Rev, Warren AND the American people when he said he was isolated.

With ALL YOU LIARS claiming to be “HILLARY backers”, WHY DIDN”T SHE WIN?
LOL!!!
NO ONE BELIEVES YOU!!
Get a grip…………
NO ONE!

It’s basically the same thing Michael Moore said. Real class acts, both of these guys.

I repeat, Hagee said Katrina was sent by God and so did Falwell. Hagee said it repeatedly and has never recanted.
And I love how all of you wingers get on your high horse about political exploitation of disaster, when you are saying you are glad it will give the Repubs a chance to show how much better prepared they are for a disaster.
Gustav has weakened, thank God, and look like it will hit before strengthening.
I think the net effect will be lots of damage but not on the order of Katrina, and hopefully no deaths, a disruption of the convention, HIGHER OIL PRICES, and no chance to really show off an ability to handle a Katrina-sized crisis.

hfp,
“sam, your argument is illogical and stupid because McCain did just as good on the second half”
You are an IDIOTIC SPEW ARTIST.
I SAID NOTHING ABOUT “The Rev. Rick Warren’s Show” OTHER THAN IT WAS FIXED!

Let me get this straight. Don Fowler is cheered by the prospect of New Orleans’ destruction by Hurricane Gustav, and the guy who recorded him is the “nutcase.”

Gee – Michael Moore says it first (and hardly anyone covers it), now this idiot – and all abcnews can do is allow him to come up with an excuse like “Falwell”???? The defeatocrats just let their true feelings slip out, and someone caught them on it…meanwhile, they’re creating scandals on Palin left and right, like a bunch of scared nitwits…I am so loving when this blows up in their traitorous two-faces…is this the “Change” we should be expecting???

Sam, Are you Democrats still sore that your guy lost at the Saddleback forum? Wow that bothered you people more than I thought. I guess you need to make an excuse for Obama’s poor performance. I wonder what excuse they are trying to come up with when Obama does poorly on the first presidential debate.

PALIN was WEAK choice among women and moderates, the groups McCain was PANDERING to.

SURE samhiguchi, I guess Rasmussen Reports forgot YOUR INPUT.
LOL!

Considering the lay of the PC landscape. Should any one in a private conversation make a joke of a disaster in which one political party would not allow another political party help in the early stages; killed a lot of peopl;e then blamed the party trying to help of hiddious evil. That’s the story that sold……Sp, I’d say the Democrat needs to keep his little big mouth shut.

This guy should apologize to every person personally who will be victimized by this hurricane. It is not cute. If God really did send a message it is this: in the end politics really are not that important.

Wow, the Rush heads are out in force.
Too many lies to counteract them all.
But for the record, Hillary did not win the popular vote, unless you count the “popular vote” as meaning “the vote only in the states in which she won.”
That’s kind of like saying we have a multinational coalition when we pay one or two other countries to go along with us or saying you are rich only if you make more than $5 million per year.

I love how the libs think it’s so clever to mock McCain’s name. I’ll guess I’ll counter it by saying these lib slams at Republicans show just how lame B. Hussein and the libs are. Hopefully you’ll allow follow through on your “threat” to leave the country when McCain wipes the floor with B. Hussein and plug boy – the country will be better off.

Sam don’t really care what you believe, my vote is mine and it would have been cast for Hillary but will gladly go to McCain. I wouldn’t vote for Obama again, and there isn’t enough money in the world that would make me…yes I said again, voted for the loser in Illinois and I know what he is going to do for this country…the same thing he did in IL…NOTHING! He’s full of hot air!

To joke about the impending tragedy–what can one say? Democrats are just callous people who don’t care about the poor and the minorities in New Orleans (isn’t that what we’d be hearing about Republicans, if THEY joked about this coming storm?)

WHO CARES ABOUT SADDLEBACK?
5.5 million tuned to “The Rev. Rick Warren’s Show.”
38 million tuned to OBAMA!
AMERICA HAS SPOKEN.

why must this fowler thing play politics with life and death. well his nam is from fowl.
no wonder

If he really didn’t mean it. Then why say it in the first place. The question is did he lie then, or is he lying now? Much like all the other democrats who said all kinds of nasty things about Barry during the primaries. Did they mean it when they said it? Or do they mean what they say now? Now being 180 degrees different from their original positions.

The Democrats have NO VALUES..they are a stupid, despicable, worthless, bunch of loudmouths. They are liars and hypocrites. The whole party should be abolished.

HFP
Limbaugh called her a “babe.” And the most disugsting posts I have read are from conservative men who think they are praising her when they say that a hunting, guntoting girl is the type they like to **** and that “moose stew” is a euphemism for something else, and other things I won’t repeat.
I will tell you, as a mother, who firmly believes that women can be working mothers, there is NO WAY I would have been off on the campaign trail when my kids were 4 months old.
I took a year off in both cases to take care of them, and I will be the FIRST person to tell you that no mother who is REALLY taking care of a 4 month old can NOT handle the responsibilities of VP of the US.

I SAID NOTHING ABOUT “The Rev. Rick Warren’s Show” OTHER THAN IT WAS FIXED!
Sam
Sam probably believes that the Government blew up the levies during Katrina too.
No Sam,Obama showed his lack of substance and knowledge in front of a large audience, it is no wonder he doesn’t like speeking unless the teleprompter is in front of him.

“I’d like to apologize. I’m sincerely sorry I got caught by a right-wing nutcase.”

Who cares about the apology?
God has spoken.
Hurricane Gustav and near-hurricane Hana ar both headed toward the GOP convention.
Like mice, Bush, Cheney, the CaliFORNia Governator have concelled.
You have to see the irony of this.

I have two thoughts on this. One is how could he expect any kind of “privacy” on an airplane? It’s close quarters in there anyway, so unless they were whispering sweet-nothings in each others ears (and clearly they weren’t) I don’t think he should expect that it would be a “private” conversation.
The other thought is that in moments when they don’t think anyone is listening and their guard is down is when people speak what is truly on their hearts.

DrJohn,
God is on the side of everyone. Anyone saying anything different is a fool and really has no clue of Who God is or what he stands for.

hfp,
PROVE IT!
The SOROS LIE!
NO, NO, Actually prove it!

Um.. Bush didn’t “make” 911.
As for “We want the Hurricane” Dems, it is very narrow minded, the GOPers at the Convention or White House will be fine but the people who lost everything and are rebuilding will suffer bad in the Gulf Coast. Try thinking of them and having a care.

God uses good people, evil people use God. Typical liberal, this Dem hates Repulicans so much, that he hopes people in NOLA are killed, injured, and property destroyed, all so the Republican convention is disrupted. Then attacks the person who recorded his remarks. Both of these men should resign immediately, there is nothing they can say or do that will undo the evil remarks that they made.

Looks like the jokes on the Dems. The Republicans have been on tv all day looking good, handling Guvstav and shown being compassionate regarding the lives that could be affected by Gustav. I say that God is on their side. The Republican now don’t have to worry about GW Bush attending their convention and having to live of to the ‘spectacle’ that was the coronation of Obama on his Greek temple. Now who has the last laugh.

Wow, there are some seriously disturbed comments on this article! First, praying for rain is not the same thing as thinking God is on your side because of a hurricane. I guess only a Democrat could come to that conclusion. Spratt is my congressman and he deserves to be pilloried since Hugo went right through his district. Secondly, Katrina would never have been a debacle if the Democrat-run state hadn’t fallen down on the job. Thank heavens they have Bobby Jindal(R) to make sure they do their job. But, of course, the Democrats only blame the Republicans. You democrats are nothing but a bunch of crying, whining babies! Why don’t you grow some or grow up!

Well, Well, Well. Only 84,000 turned out to see Obama and 90,000 turned out to see the Top Dog of mascots…UGA7. And lets all get this straight now. Obama is part White and did anybody see the faces that Michelle Obama was making when Hilary made her speech? Now you tell me that Obama and his momma do not care about the Clinton’s and I pray and pray really hard that the Clinton’s change their vote to McCain!!!! Let the man speak about how he is not going to go back to the Bush years and everyone just assumes that because McCain is a republican, that is what he is going to do. If Obama gets in we will be having another Bill Clinton in the house because Obama will be sneaking Obama girl in the big house tonight.

Let’s not forget, in addition to this moron Fowler’s comments, Michael Moore and Keith Olberman had similar comments and laughter regarding the storm hitting during the GOP convention. Had these comments come from Republicans, it would be front page news in the NY Times and it would have been the lead story on NBC News with Brian Williams and CBS News with Katie Couric.
Liberal phonies…all of them.

He gets filmed wishing for the deaths of people so that his political party will gain a few points in the polls and the person who filmed him is the “nutjob”?
Ok.

Why is Fowler apologizing?
Because he is a cowardly ignoramus.
EVERYONE is entitled to crap IN PRIVATE!
If Fowler CRAPPED IN PRIVATE and some nosy toilet paper taped it, then there should be no need for apology by Fowler; especially since the JOKE was not directed towards the people in the South who will be directly impacted by the hurricane.
The apology should come from the the NOSY toilet paper for taking Fowler’s PRIVATE CRAP public!!

Ah, the old “IF this offended anyone” ploy (emphasis mine). Well, yes, Mr. Fowler, it did offend many people which is why you’ve been forced to issue even this weak non-apology apology. And yes, the right-leaning preacher who jokingly asked his flock to pray for rain on Sen. Obama’s open stadium speech was also a goofball. At least he was just wishing for ordinary rain as opposed to a dangerous hurricane.

Private conversation on a commercial jet in the coach section. Last time I checked the seats are so close together only an IDIOT would think they are having a private conversation. Then again only an IDIOT would wish harm on someone from a natural disaster for political gain.
How gives a snot about Hillary and her voters? Voting for Obama is a RACIST Vote! First time someone is qualified, based SOLELY on race, for President of the United States. The true RACIST are those that vote for Obama whom in the real world couldn’t even hold a full time job EVER! McDonalds is hiring, but Obama doesn’t have the experience!

PA is NOW in play for John McCain.

OK I’ll say it. We could find the rotting corpses of little kids in Obama’s closet and liberals and African Americans would still vote for him. I’m sure the same is true for some Republicans and McCain, but we all know it’s ABSOLUTELY true for most of the aforementioned. It’s so sad that party affiliation and getting a good “racial FU” is so much more important than the country and it’s taxpayers. Yuck.

The person who recorded the conversation is a HERO. We need more Democratic leader conversations recorded and posted to show everyone how they do not care about you at all, just power and money.

How can he consider it a ‘private conversation’?
He was having this conversation on an aircraft which had other people within earshot. Otherwise the video camera wouldn’t have been there, no?

This guy is a real piece of work, him and Michael Moore to take glee in a huge storm that has and will kill Americans. Makes me want to puke!
Crazies on both sides of the aisle but this guy was ex DNC Chair, hardly a dead guy Falwell, a bogeyman they run up the flag everytime.
The dude is dead, stop attacking the nut and stop acting like a callous nut yoself!
To hate America SOOO much is what is destroying this country. Democrats take glee in New Orleans destruction. How obscene. Does anyone want a callous party like this running the country. Obama, Harry (“the war is lost…”)Reid and Nancy (I am trying to save the Planet hubris) running the country?
Obama’s jogging partner and cochair of the same committe in Illinois bombed the pentagon 30 years before Al Qaeda did. You actually want these leftist extremists in charge of all the houses of government? NO checks and balances?
They are insane and these comments are indicative of their hate and callousness. Ends justifying the means, mentality aint happening!

Sad but True. Both Obama and Osama BinLaden have friends who attacked the Pentagon.

Jindal is an idiot who is just trying to make people think he knows what he is doing. Because he is a Repub, he can get all the aid Louisiana needs, unlike Blanco, whose every effort was blocked by Michael Brown and the Repubs. McCain went to Mississippi, not Louisiana where the storm is going to hit, for a photo op to make people think he is really concerned. What a joke.

This guy is a real piece of work, him and Michael Moore to take glee in a huge storm that has and will kill Americans. Makes me want to puke!

If God was really on the Dems side then Al Gore would have been sworn in: But Divine intervention proved to be on the Rep. side as it will be again in 2008. Dems represent Gay marriage, Abortion, Gun Bans, and no God in schools, Who’s side do you really think the Heavenly father is on. G.O.P. See you in Nov.

The liberal left makes me sick. I changed my party after the paul weststone service, when the dems. booed trent lot for attending the service and then turned it into a dem pep rally. they are brain dead.

Quote:This EX Dem turned Independant Will Vote McCain/Palin ’08′ – For Serious Solutions To Serious Problems!! The Mavric Puts Country First!!! OK-it’s agreed, we’ll cancel each other out-I’m voting for Obama. I don’t want to vote for someone who for a short time will be an American then return to being a Republican. Yes, I know what it sounds like he means, but then, maybe McCain thinks being a Republican is different than being an American.

Let’s see if I’ve got this straight: two Democrats, who think they are talking to no one but themselves, enjoy a predictable if insensitive joke about Gustav and the RNC. The chairman of the South Carolina GOP then seizes upon a surreptitious recording of the private conversation and complains wildly to the media that the Democrats are politicizing a natural disaster.
If you’re not smart enough to figure out who’s politizing in this situation, then you deserve a McCain/Palin administration.

Another America hating leftist freak and Obama supporter hoping for as many deaths as possible from the hurricane. The funniest thing about this piece, is that the fool “reporting” this incident writes a few paragraphs about Jerry Falwell. Jerry Falwell? What does Jerry Falwell have to do with this America hating leftist freak named Don Fowler praying to his earth goddess that as many people as possible die from the hurricane? Answer: Nothing

That’s the Party of Bill Clinton- B.J.’s and Bribes from China, what do you all expect from these people who call him a hero..Nice:(

Former DNC Chairman Don Fowler insincere apology hopefully does not show the true colors of the Democratic party. Fowler’s trying so hard to justify his action of plain despicable attitude of using other people’s demise for his democratic parties glory, that’s why I say there is nothing new and there is no CHANGE in this Democratic party. This episode has been in the news for two days now and I am still waiting for their leader Obama to condemn this attitude coming from his righteous Democratic party.

Democrats lust for power. They don’t care about the million of lives being shattered. They just look at how it will benefit them.
They are elitest. They discount Sarah’s experience as mayor because it’s from a small town. They know how backwards those small times hicks are. They even practice their religion and own guns.

Not private if you are in publick and talking in a voice that can be taped.
Truth be known we can’t say if it was a Democrats or who it was doing the tapeing.
Doesn’t matter really as no true american past, present or future, either side of an isle on any issue should be saying stuff like that to another person.
If he does I hope that person spoken too has the character to tell that person to please be quite.
Georgia

The arrogance of these politicians amazes me, and perhaps that’s why so many people are behind Sarah Palin. She’s positive, kind and energetic. And she has a solid record of solutions. We’re not Democrats and we’re not Republicans. We’re Americans who have had ENOUGH of rude politicians. Time to say goodbye to politics as usual and talk our country back.
McCain/Palin 08

For those who think this is god’s will OR that it is “kharma”…..it is karma….However…..the value judgement that you are attaching to it (the action), reflects your ignorance.
Karma is simply, cause and effect. A cause yields an effect which produces more causes and more effects etc. The world is karma. We human beings are karma by nature.
Karma is neither good nor bad. These judgments (good/bad…..god favored/god punishment) reflect ignorance and project conflict reinforced by rationalizations and self righteous displays of judgmental rhetoric.

What an ass, only sorry he got caught.

Let’s see…dumbass gets caught with his foot in his mouth aaaaaaand…blames Falwell. What a retard.
I’m just curious: Is God on the Dems’ side because He likes them killing babies? Or is it because He likes the way they blame regular folks when violent criminals go on a killing spree? Oh, oh, I know! Maybe it’s because they want to remove any trace of Him from all public places! Is it because He likes socialists restricting average folks’ freedoms? Perhaps it’s because He likes filthy, sacreligious “art” that Dems insist is freedom of speech. Or maybe He likes it when Dems pretend some obscure insect is more important than humans. Want more? I could go on…

Privacy???
Jeasus! Just walk around here in Chicago. There is no such thing in public. There are so many cameras here and Daily wants more (Dumbocreaton) You can never be out of the eyes and ears of someone. BIG BROTHER is always watching!
This quazi appology is BS. Stand up and be a man. If you do not want to appologize, then don’t. If you appologize, then appologize for your actions. Not IF someone was offended. Obviously they were.
Just another Jack-A** politician that is out of touch with reality. Because of course reality doesn’t have anything to do with politicians.

Fowler should be ashamed of himself for making this comment at all regardless if it was taped or not. Nice leadership wouldn’t y’all say? And to then cop out and say it was a joke on the Late Falwell? How low can you get?? Falwell said a lot of offensive things but he never tried to pin them on someone else, he stood behind his statements and never let anyone else dead or alive be his scapegoat.
And I say it shows great character on the part of the Republican party to postpone or cancel their convention in light of what is happening down south with the weather. Kudos to them for thinking of the lives of the people in New Orleans nad other states rather than themselves at this important time in the election.

ANOTHER FORMER HILLARY VOTER FOR MCCAIN/PALIN!

I’m shocked at the number of people who are justifying Fowlers comments because of something that someone else said.
His comments were simply in very poor taste. Above that he being in politics should be less stupid and understand that words matter and can be recorded at any time.
The person who recorded the comments was proper in recording a stupid comment. Our politicians from both parties need to be held to a much higher standard.
Fowler clearly fails to have the intelligence and presence of mind to be taken required.
He needs to grow up and accept is actions were wrong and stop blaming others. He is using the same tactics that children use when they are caught and do not know better.

Sen. Barack HUSSEIN Obama, Please GO on another Overseas Trip & Add this to your “Foreign Policy Experience” “Living in Indonesia” ! When You finish smoking Dope & Cocain RUN for President ! Party Like a ROCK STARR ! COCAIN is OK ! I’m Proud of YOU ! GO You Little Party Animal ! Associated Television News/Zogby Poll Toss-Up! McCain 42%, Obama 41% as Undecided Voters Increase
Obama loses support among his strongest demographic groups
UTICA, New York – A national Associated Television News/Zogby International telephone poll of 1,011 likely voters conducted July 31-Aug. 1 finds Republican Sen. John McCain taking a razor-thin 42%-41% lead over Democrat Sen. Barack Obama in the race for the U.S. presidency.
The margin between the candidates is statistically insignificant, but demonstrates a notable turn-around from the Reuters/Zogby poll of July 7-9 that showed Obama ahead, 47%-40% in a four-way match-up that included Libertarian candidate Bob Barr of Georgia and liberal independent candidate Ralph Nader. McCain made significant gains at Obama’s expense among some of what had been Obama’s strongest demographic groups. For example:
McCain gained 20% and Obama lost 16% among voters ages 18-29. Obama still leads that group, 49%-38%.
Among women, McCain closed 10 points on Obama, who still leads by a 43%-38% margin.
Obama has lost what was an 11% lead among Independents. He and McCain are now tied.
Obama had some slippage among Democrats, dropping from 83% to 74%.
Obama’s support among single voters dropped by 19%, and he now leads McCain, 51%-37%.
Even with African-Americans and Hispanics, Obama shows smaller margins.
The survey results come as Obama, fresh off what had been characterized as a triumphant tour of the Middle East and Europe, including a speech to 200,000 Germans in Berlin. That trip quickly became fodder for an aggressive response ad by the McCain campaign that questioned whether Obama’s popularity around the world meant he was ready to lead the U.S.
Pollster John Zogby: “The McCain camp seems to have turned lemons into lemonade. Huge crowds and mostly favorable press reviews of Obama’s overseas trip have been trumped by McCain’s attacks on Obama. Loss of support for Obama among young voters may also be due to his perceived reversals on issues they care about, such as the war and government eavesdropping.”
Electoral votes decide the Presidency, and this Associated Television News/Zogby poll gives signs that McCain is making gains in winning key states. By region, McCain’s greatest gains came in the Central U.S. and in the West, home to several key battleground states. What was a narrow Obama lead in the Central U.S. is now a 45%-36% McCain edge. In the West, Obama’s 15% lead is gone, and McCain is now ahead, 43%-40%.

Catholics, who are always a critical voting bloc, favored Obama by 11% in mid-July. Now, they favor McCain by 15%.
Other groups where Obama’s lead has suffered include college graduates and those with family incomes of $25,000 – $35,000. Like the Zogby/Reuters poll, this one included Libertarian Bob Barr and Independent Ralph Nader. Both dropped just 1% between the two polls, with both now at 2%.
Obama’s largest lead in Zogby phone polling since he clinched the nomination was 10%, both in mid-May and again in mid-July.
This survey, commissioned by Associated Television News, included 1,011 likely voters and was conducted July 31-Aug. 1, 2008. The poll’s margin of error is +/- 3.1 percentage points. Margins of error are higher in sub-groups.

Aww. 3 people being moved from nursing homes to the airports for safety died earlier. Prayers going out to their families.

Typical liberals. These clowns have absolutely no conscience.

The bus is getting crowded underneath with everyone Obama is throwing under that bus.

I live on the Alabama Gulf Coast and was directly affected by Hurricane Katrina ($105,000.00 damage to my home and property) and may very well take on damage from Gustav. I am offended by such remarks but it shows the real compassion of democrat liberals. Laughing at the approaching destruction and possible death because it may benefit them , but why should we expect anything different from those who enjoy killing babies!

the #1 problem in america today:
religious people.
GOD DOES NOT EXIST – EVERYTHING YOU THINK IS WRONG.

Hey “Patriot,”
…You’re anything BUT, douche-bag.
I hope you’ve looked at real-estate in Canada, d-bag, so you can move there as soon as McCain & Palin take over the White House.
Hahahaha, you douche-bag!!! :O
The Real Patriot

America would be a great country again if all of the liberals would just move away.

Typical. HE says it, but blames someone else because they heard and recorded it?! This man is a brain donor. People who listen to him are brain donors.

>>>[It was a remark] that I clearly don’t believe…>>> Oh, really? Then why did you clearly say it? Does anyone believe this lib loser? And what does it matter WHO taped it? You said it. Now take responsibility for it.

What “private” conversation? When sitting on a public plane speaking loud enough to be heard over the drone of the engines… oh never mind.
Hey Fowler, as a resident of Louisiana I’ve got one thing to say to you, go to hell!

I like Barack – but his economics are way off.
You can suceed in America with effort, study and the opportunity/luck this nation provides (Examples: Barack and Sarah). Elections are the big deal they are because it allows those in power to redistribute the effort, study and opportunities of others. If we followed the true rules of our republic we could quite fighting over the spoils of victory and just get on with our lives. Sarah – I think you get this – I pray in 4 or 8 years you can get us there. RonPaul4Me@gmail.com

Why is it we Democrats always seem to find excuses for our shortcomings? Blame a right wing extremist for recording a conversation that shouldn’t have happened in the first place. Blame the loss of an election on the Supreme Court rather than on our candidate’s inability to win his own state. I consider myself a decent person and call them like I see them. Many predicted that Iraq would be a quagmire and the war could never be won; yet the War on Poverty, an honorable war declared by my party 40 years ago, is still being waged.

This does not surprise me one bit. The hearts of the great majority of the Democratic party are pure evil. They are finally getting what they deserve: exposure. It’s gradual, but the public is finally seeing it.

I’m starting to think that all the lobbyist parties that took place at the democrat convention may come back to haunt them. If the republicans cut the lobbyist out of their convention it will be a victory.

That right wing nut job that posted “anonimously” had better watch his back. They’ll find him out from airline passender lists. And if the Clinton hit machine is in Obama’s employ, the RNC will have a martyr.

Hey, I read earlier that U.K. is having the worst economy in 60 years. I guess Bush is responsible.

Much like their full throttle support of infanticide and their prayers for defeat in Iraq, Dems are shown to be giddy at the prospect of more death…

BUSH WAS THE GREATEST PRESIDENT SINCE MAD MAGAZINE’S ALFRED E NEUMANN.
WHO NEEDS NEW ORLEANS?
YOU’RE DOING A GREAT JOB BROWNIE!
WHY ME WORRY?

in a good hack state like mass. such taping is illegal, period. the courts feel that the truth is not proper if it is caught on tape secretly, it is hard for a smart axx lawyer to rebut a taped verbal statement, this law plays into the hands of the lawyers, like edwards, who base their whole life on lying to the courts and the friendly judges there,

The Democrats’ Infamous Political Inappropriateness:
Obama’s “sweetie”.
Biden’s “good looking”
Clinton the Bubba’s “fairy tales”
Fowler’s “God & Gustaf”
SHAME ON YOU, DEMOCRATS! (just like Hillary’s biting words for Obama a few months ago).

I live in Chandler, Arizona and we had a terrible storm on the last night of the Democrat’s convention. In fact, while Obama was talking, thunder and lightning was striking everywhere. Shall I read something into that or should I just consider it a storm that no one can control?
Libs are ridiculous.

Sarah Palin, has more in common with the vast majority of Americans than any other vice presidential candidate in American history. Finally, a working mom can have a say in this nations policies. What a refreshing choice!

More dead people in NOLA=less votes for Messiah…. Go Gustov!
Love, PUMA

Does this sound familiar?
“They teach him to keep up his hate so he never thinks straight, about the shape that he is in to protect his white skin, he is only a pawn in their game….. ” “Dylan

Gee whiz I thought Falwell was an idiot for saying that and now this Fowler is a bigger one. In this day and age innocent people are going to get hurt and you’re making a joke out of it. That’s creepy and very sad. No American deserves to get hit by a storm like this and no American deserves to be insulted by a nitwit like Fowler. Too bad the media plays up when one side says it but not the other. Both people are incredibly stupid, Falwell and Fowler.

I don’t get it. As I recall Pelosi and the Dems said that if the Democrats won the Senate race they could change everything. They sure did. The last 4 years have been the worst. And their ratings are at single digits.

What kind of a Big Brother society have the Republicans created under Bush? This guy just made a a political comment in a private conversation, not a threat to anyone.
And the nutcase behind him taped him? Isn’t that illegal? He should be prosecuted!
Now everything is listened to, taped, etc.
Welcome to Orwell’s 1984!

I think McCain should continue to have his townhall meetings and continue to challenge the rhetoric of O saying he would meet him anywhere. Palin has more executive experience, life experience, and work experience than O could ever relate. Two years in an executive position, making decisions for an entire state, is a lot more than voting not present over 100 times in the state legislature. This guy has never challenged anyone. When he stated his position against the war he was in a district that was against the war. Big Whoop. This guy is an empty suit and the republicans have nominated two people who can challenge the status quo and do something.

Hey real patriot,
I sitting here cleaning my two Remington 1100′s beacuse dove season opens at daybreak tomorrow. I invite you out to the field where I intend to limit out on dove…so we see who the pansie is.
I didn’t say I was a moderate, I said that most Americans are too caught up in labels and forget the most important label of all: AMERICAN.
You not a “real patriot” your a scum bag loser. Why don’t you get the F out my country. I’ve fought in war and my forfathers have fought in 7 of the 11 wars that this country has fought.
Son, you better watch out becausee in the end there are a whole bunch of out hear that really don’t give a cr-p if someone is a dem or rep….if you come up against me your gonna lose.
YOUR NO F’N PATRIOT!@Q!!!

I’m going to LMAO on Nov 5. You Demos really believe that this country will elect a Black? His middle name is Osama Bin Laden, for Chrissakes.

I love again, how ABC does what it can to help out “their” side.
While the story is big enough that it has to be covered, the reporter somehow is able to devote how many inches of coverage to Falwell?
But what do we hear about from Libs? It’s how the big ole evil Fox News is able to somehow control everything.
The Average Democrat cares about the people in the Gulf about as much as they do the troos in Iraq.
They don’t. It’s all a game about power and the exploitation of the victim mindset married to self righteousness.

Any apology that begins with “If I …” is NOT a sincere apology.
~LCC

Anybody else thinking about what a WONDERFUL thing the Dems thought it was when John Boehner was overheard talking on his cellphone by a couple who coincidentally picked up the conversation on a freakin’ SCANNER.
They coincidentally decided to record the conversation and coincidentally passed the recording to Congressman Jim McDermott?
And it was leaked to the media and used to attack Gingrich and others but they weren’t LEFT-wing MOONbats, were they????? Can you say “depends on whose ox is being gored”?? I KNEW you could.
Same way Bidet’s 5 deferments from the VietNam war were just peachy but Cheney is an evil SOB for getting the same number of them? And Billy Jeff is a freakin’ saint for just refusing.
Situational Ethics anyone?????

Some Democrat says something stupid, and all the right-wingers act like he drowned somebody’s kitten. Some Republican says something stupid, and all the left-wingers act like he shot somebody’s dog. We still have three months before the election. Lots of people will say lots more stupid things, on both sides of the aisle. Seems to me that having a hissy fit when somebody cracks wise on the other side just means having to eat crow when somebody cracks wise on my side. You can have at it.

Jake tapper is actually ralph reed with a jake tapper mask…
at least that is what george stephanopolus told me…

Had it been a senior Republican leader who said this it would trump the hurrican itself as the lead story on CNN and MSNBC for the next 3 days.

How is voting for McCAin not like voting for a Bush term? And listen to yourself when answer….

Hey dimwits – I know it’s hard for some of you to understand, but Falwell and Dobson are not ranking, elected members of a political party – and although they may speak for themselves and a certain number of other nutcases, it is far different than a ranking democrat making such an arrogant and stupid statement. Falwell and Dobson can do anything they like, and it doesn’t effect me. This knucklehead Fowler is tuned into the people that make our laws and govern us.

What the hell kind of apology is that! How about you shouldn’t be making those kind of statements period. Not by claiming someone is a “right-wing nutcase” who goes around taping people!
PS: That statement was not made in a joking manner.

Well, I see “sam” has many incarnations on this site.. This entire piece is worth reading JUST to see “sam” (and the “patriot”, lets not forget “god”) melt down before our very eyes just because the ONLY brains NObama has are projected on his teleprompter… McCain, like the fighter pilot he is, out smarted him opponent and will continue to outsmart his opponent until this is over. I can’t believe NObama was dumb enough to forsake hill and bill for the likes of NObiden. It’s really because hill is smarter than NObama and who knows who’s handling NObama – soros, iran, the chicago mob? who knows but it’s clearly someone…
BTW “sam” Rasmussen is a self proclaimed “progressive” dumb-A*S*S…roflol

meant no mother who is really taking care of a 4 month old could handle those responsibilities, and frankly, its insane to suggest otherwise. That’s why there is maternity leave.

This comments section makes it clear that Mr. Fowler wasn’t joking, nor the previous rude and ignorant comments were in jest either.
Right wingers are hate filled? I have seen more hate, filth and absolute lack of tolerence from the left/liberals than ANYWHERE in the world. Even the communists abroad have more respect for conservatives or people with other opinions than you people here do.
I have gathered that I would rather die on the right than lose my soul, morals, free thinking mind and God than to be filthy, sick and twisted like the lefty’s.

May God have mercy on our souls.

some people like to say there is free speech in America but I like to say there is the speech that the get for free do you know what I mean yes it true think about it .this need to change some people just got to much all the time for free it’s time to put them on leave with out?so you know America must be won back and America will be one .God Bless America and God Bless senator Obama Barack and senator Joe Biden we people of America need to pray right now for the residents of the gulf coast please let do that tonight at ten oclok (10 oclock).God is able let’s call up on Him with faith in the name of Jesus-Christ of nazaren,we can if we want He will if we ask ask in the name of Jesus-Christ,amen.

G-man, are you paid to parrot Michael Moore’s talking points? Or are you that divorced from reality on your own?
I swear, no wonder Obama’s lies and ‘position shifts’ don’t hurt him at all with his base.

The definition of honor is to do and say the right thing even when nobody is watching. No matter whether it’s a private conversation or a public address, he said what he said. And I argue he has no morals.

FWIW, I don’t think this buckethead really thought it was a swell thing that people may die or lose their homes (again).
I AM convinced though that he WAS glorying in the fact that the situation might be spun to give his pathetic party some kind of advantage.
Kind of like, damn, they’re dead but is anyone here in the meat-cutters union?? Anyone???

It wasn’t Dobson, it was some guy who works in his organization. Get your facts straight, you are probably from DailyKos, they don’t deal with facts there.

The right wing nut case nailed this moron.Good for him

Actually, he was just repeating what Michael Moore of MoveOn had already said — that this proves God is on their side!
It seems to be a thing these Democrats have — plagiarizing the speeches, and now, apparently, the deeply offenseve “jokes” of others.
Naturally his “apology” proved to really be nothing of the kind. In the first place, it was conditional. No true apology is. And he also made it clear that he personally saw nothing wrong with the comment.
“If this offended anybody, I personally apologize,” Fowler told ABC News.
In other words he was only apologizing to anyone who may have been offended, not for making such an obnoxious statement in the first place.
He also said “everything is cool.” Well, everything is not “cool.” Fowler just proved to the entire world that he is an offensive jerk, and an entirely unoriginal one to boot!

Is this the kind of “HOPE” that the Democrats really have? HOPE that a disaster occurs so there can be more victims to pander to?

I cannot believe that you people think that God is punishing tens of thousands of people just so the GOP cannot hold their convention…you are the sickest bunch of idiots that ever lived! It is no wonder that with your barbaric attitudes that you would vote for Obama…no way could I consider myself a democrat anymore and never again to be affiliated with that party. You reap what you sow…wonder what God has in store for you!!!!

“most Americans decide after the debates and don’t tune into conventions.” Right…so we had, what, 38 million people tune into Barack’s acceptance speech and how many million others watched it on PBS, C-SPAN and the Internet? Dream on. We’ll see what McCain and the Republicants can do.
My goodness this is a tempest in a teapot and typical MSM blather. Could we please debate something of substance? At least it would eliminate some of the more moronic posts we see here because it would require some real thinking and analysis.

YOU SEE, WE ARE NOT AS DUMB AS YOU SEEM TO THINK WE ARE. YOU WHORES.

Yes, Fowl fowler is just one of those left-wing nut jobs that likes to spew hate and laughs at the pain of others.

The liberals, like Don Fowler, keep on thinking that the GOP base hates George Bush. Keep thinking that, ok. Trust MSNBC and Air America, ok. We know why you hate him–Supreme Court. We got 2 wonderful conservative justices in, didn’t we! He did something after we were attacked, you don’t like it! Clinton had his chance, he acted like Obama will act, weak, do nothing. You said we were all stupid but Bush won 2 elections. You guys even admitted to Alan Colmes last week that you didn’t win Florida after all the lies, grand standing and all those 1,000′s of attorneys who flew to Florida to steal the election. Your grand old party has been taken over by the far left who are NOT mainstream. McCain and Palin are main stream to many people. I’d say, your party has the hurdles to overcome with a flawed candidate. Many people are pouring out the koolaid. Can you image if the dems get Obama in. The liberal Obama media will never report the truth. With repubs, the media digs the dirt and outs them so you’ll get more that way.

I didn’t think Liberals believed in God because they work so hard to get Him out of our lives

To whomever said this:
“People have been showering Obama with money.”
…does that mean we can declare the economy is NOT in shambles?

Typical Democrat apology: “I admit I wished for a hurricane to ravage a city in order that Democrats might benefit politically, but the person who captured me on record acting in a disgusting manner is a right wing nutcase! Next time I will wish for the death and destruction of my political opponents in private.”
Democrats are truly a degenerate bunch, the only political party to venerate a Klansman (Robert Byrd) and a man who left a woman in a car to drown.

“How is voting for McCAin not like voting for a Bush term? And listen to yourself when answer….”
And one could ask “How is voting for Obama not like voting for Karl Marx?”

One doesn’t believe they will be taped by some rightwing nutcase?
Oh really Don? You mean like when JIM McDERMOTT taped a phone conversation between Newt Gingrich & John Boener??
LOLOLOL. You people fool no one.

Comments recorded by a “right-wing nutcase?” How do you know this person’s party affiliation? What if it would have been recorded by a PUMA member? What if it would have been recorded by just normal John Q. Citizen? You say you’re sorry if anyone took offense, but you don’t apologize for it. That speaks VOLUMES to what you really meant.

Yet another top level democrat refusing to take responsibility for his actions. We know, it’s all the fault of the gentleman who recorded him. I have met very few democrats who are not world class hypocrites. I blame this attitude on those BLIND and UNEDUCATED followers who want to live in a socialist state that Obama wants to achieve through unrelenting tax increases and wide open entitlement spending.

I really can’t believe I was ever a democrat. The behavior of those in that party is just awful.
McCain/Palin 08

I’m so sick of the Leftist bias in the Media. The fact that this statement somehow dragged in Jerry Farwell is ridiculous.

The “god” that caused the rain in the south, is this the same “god” that will cause the Democrats to lose in November?
Osama ben biden – a loss, looking for a happening…

He called the person recording his conversation a righ wing nut? Hell, he’s under constant public scrutiny. As he should. Accountability, I say. If the a hole wishes not to be scrutinized, then he should watch what he says. What a butt head!!! And insensitive to say the least! I’m telling ya. Our Democratic party has been hi jacked by a bunch of weirdos. We’ll see who God sides with.

Only the Democrats would try and take something like a hurricane and rejoice about it for political advantage. Really shows what you people are like.

Another example of Democrats looking for political gain in American misfortune. To make it worse, he tries to blame it on the “Vast Right WIng Conspiracy” that he was revealed to be a dumb ass.

Barry: You are no more a republican that I am Liz Taylor…we are not all stupid like you!! The only crap comes from the Dems..on any blog site!

You all crack me up as you fight back and forth on a web page where you have the personal safety of not having to be responsible for your comments or any repercussions.
Fighting on the internet is like the special Olympics. Even if you win, you’re still retarded.
Yup, was pretty crude of me to say that but if the shoe fits…

abc wouldn’t let me post the link but if you go to the you tube site. Do a search for Joe Biden drunk. Click on Joe Biden drunk on campaign trail. This is Obama’s pick for VP? What a joke!!!

Gee i didnt hear any reference to Jery Farewell in Fowlers remarks that it was kinda cool that this possibe devestating hurricane wqs gonna hit us durring the GOP convention.
What a slimy way to “apologize” put the emphasis on a dead person and use their assinine remarks to justify your own.
Odd that this was the sentimant of a top Democrat just after the hopefull message of change form his Presidential nominee.
As Obama said “he just dosent get it!”
The mans remarks and apology are both disturbing.

New Orleans deserves to be an object lesson in God’s preference for Democrats why?

(Sarcasm alert) Oh yea, that’s right! It’s the right-wing nut case’s fault. If he never recorded Fowler’s tacky hurricane remark, there would be no problem.
Hmmm, to Democrats, I bet this makes sense.

Ziggy, thanks but not thanks, I’m not a member of the easily manipulated groups that right wing nutcases think they can prey on through the politics of hate and fear mongering.
James Dobson is part of the same extreme right wing machinery that McCain-Bush subscribe and pander to, we didn’t see McCain-Bush rush to condemn Dobson and Co for wishing death and destruction on other Americans as long as that destruction took place during the Dems convention.
If McCain-Bush really did give a damn they would have long distanced themselves the moment Dobson and Co launched their prayer campaign.

Say what you want about Falwell, just remember he’s now dead. As I said before, as a resident of the Alabama Gulf Coast I incurred $150,000 damage to my home from Katrina and insurance (flood and wind) only covered $15,000. I do not blame Bush. How is it his fault? Actually President Bush is an honorable man, that’s why the liberals hate him. Their goal for the past eight years is the White House at any cost. That’s why every time they open their mouths all they do is spew hate towards any conservative. I’d vote for Bush again if he were eligible. If a vote for McCain is a vote for 4 more years of Bush he has mine! Obama may be eligible to be President but he is not qualified to be President.

Criticize someone for recording something very stupid that you said in seriousness and not jest?
If you’re anyone of even moderate political rank, you should already know that everything you say outside of your closed-door office is likely to be overheard and recorded, and could land you in hot water. Only brain-dead, stone-age retreads don’t understand that. Most democrats these days tend to be just that.

Does anyone honestly believe that no Democrat, given such a chance, would not have taped that ‘private’ conversation had the situation been reversed??
Further, not only did the selection of Sarah Palin energize the Republican base, and cause some definite crossover, but the way the Republicans are handling the seriousness of the situation regarding Gustave strikes exactly the correct tone.
I do not believe The Chosen One would have canceled his Invesco Field Rock Concert, hurricane or no hurricane.
You “progressives” are the most hypocritical bunch of juveniles to come down the pike in years.
Grow up.

MCCAIN made an excellent choice in Palin. I AM TOTALLY GLAD
Palin even has MORE EXECUTIVE experience than Obama and she is just the VP candidate.
Palin has brought REAL CHANGE and not talk change the way Obama has been doing for months…
Hey OBAMA, YOU DONT NEED TO BE PRESIDENT TO BRING CHANGE. YOU CAN GO BACK TO THE SENATE OR ILLINOIS AND BRING CHANGE THERE … LEARN FROM PALIN … SHE HAS BEEN A REAL CHANGE AGENT IN ALASKA and has a 80% popularity rating in Alaska …
What have you done OBAMA …?
JUST GIVE SPEECHES ABOUT CHANGE? WHAT A FREAKING JOKE …
I WOULD SOONER HAVE A PRESIDENT PALIN THAN YOU, OBAMA

Typical democrats they just never know when to shut the hell up.Between Pelosi and her stupid comments and do nothing bunch of dimwits in congress I guess this idiot was so desperate for more publicity he had to insult hurricane victims and politicze what could be a disaster.The bridge to nowhere is just a tad to polite.Tell it like it really is Washington Palin so these left wing liberal and democratic wackos are brought down to a human level.Dont forget to mention how many houses each one owns.Democrat and Republican alike,so we can cut the moronic bs talk to rest and get on real issues.
Typical Typical idiots.They only thing yer democratic congress knows is how to take a vacation while we all suffer gas prices ,and their paychecks from their oil deals.Check out yer rich democratics and all the oil monies they get.Go scandal to scandal they have as many as any other party.
Damn straight they aint gonna like Palin but then again they dont like anyone in politics who is a fresh honest deal.Been the mindset of the dems for decades.They get upset when their lies and greed are about to be exposed by the good people.My opinion…Too damn bad.We all know the longer u stay in washington the more a thief yu are.Damn shame we cant overthrow the whole government and start with new fresh out of the box faces as Palin. Quite frankly it is what we need.From Pelosi to Reid to Bush right down to the “Goody “Goody no good Clintons who have been taking secret deals from Dubai and other secretive monies from all over.Stop already with this high and mighty freakin Clinton bs..They are as much a part of the lies and bridge to nowhere crew.It’s all about them baby.Not about yu or us.

Another victim of the fictitious “vast right-wing conspiracy”. Perhaps this Dem piece of S**T will realize that his insensitive comments are the probelm, not the messenger.

I’m shocked that a former leader of the Democrat party in America would use the suffering of people in New Orleans so callously and so glibly, without any particular remorse and a lame and contrived explanation.
No, wait — I’m really not. After all, it’s just a game to them.

This Fowler guy is a world class jerk. I have evacuated N.O. and I know my home is in jeopardy and this fricken nut job thinks it’s a big joke…SICK!!!!

Liberals always compensate for inadequate sized penises. It is always ugly when they do.

Hey Sinclaire,
What are you, the Cloakroom Monitor?
I’ll bet you tattled on everyone in school, didn’t you…?
Pisss off.
RP

A person recording a delusional megalomaniac with a God complex is a right wing nut job. Very good, blame the person that caught you, you ridiculous pipsqueak. Like when Bill CLinton raped
Kathleen Willey, he and his hit machine demonized the victim/messenger. Typical of this scum. Let us analyze Don Fowler’s statement. He is happy that millions, possibly billions of dollars of damage will occur and people will die and people will suffer, so he can gloat about it. Sick, Sick, Sick. And while we are on this, why is it that liberal democrats can politicize Katrina and Republicans cannot politicize 9/11. Let’s face it guys, 9/11 was planned and readied under Clinton and the Dems. They are the ones at fault. Republicans need to beat them with this. As far as Katrina is concerned, you can blame the corrupt Governor of Louisiana and the boob Nagin for how it was bungled as much or more as the Bush Administration. The people of LA understood when they put Jindal in. They knew who to blame.

“rightwing nutcase”? Sir, he didn’t turn the camera on until you had said it more than once! No sir the only thing you are sorry about is that your fool mouth got caught and I do believe that the people on the gulf coast will remember who said this before going to the polls in Nov! I know I will! No more democrats ever elected with my help!

We Republicans are proud of John McCain for his wonderfully progressive and brilliant choice of Sarah Palin as Veep! No matter rain, sleet, hail, hurricane, volcanoes, global warming bs or act of God will keep us away from the polls on election day! Sorry Obama. Most Republicans would happily vote for any person of any race/gender as long as they hold traditional American values. See: Col. Allen West http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=72235

A WORLD of difference between “I’m sorry that I said that” and “Damn, I’m sorry that somebody can PROVE that I said that”.

Do you suppose the Dems remember Jim McDermitt (D.WA) and the recorded private phone conversation between Newt Gingrich and another Republican that McDermitt delivered to newspapers????? That cost Newt Gingrich his Speaker of the House position and Jim McDimwit a ton of money in fines for illegally recording a private conversation………what goes around, comes around!

I am SO OPTIMISTIC that the Republicans will keep the White House …
MCCAIN has secured his base …. Palin is THE CHOICE … Now the undecideds can choose between someone who actually has brought change over and over again than someone namely OBAMA, who has been only talking change and ONLY SINCE he started running for President …
The undecideds can choose between someone who has fought against establishements for what she thinks is right and moral instead of TALK about it like Obama and has not been motivated to do anything except TALK about it now that he wants to be President …
Obama has done NOTHING but TALK his way into his human-made shrine that the Dumbocrats built for him during the Convention …
Wake up undecideds … Choose a ticket that has brought practical, tangible changes. Not an Obama ticket that TALKS change to make you feel so wonderful … and a change that will never materialize …
Obama, it is true … You can bring change in the Senate and in Illinois … Go back there and let us see the change you say you are so much for … but that wont work will it Obama?
Cause it is NOT CHANGE you care about … it is the PRESIDENCY that you covet … at least now we GOT THAT STRAIGHTENED OUT ..

ALL ABOARD! The Stop Obama Express. A great site for Anti-Obama Fun, videos, pictures, quotes and more. Check it out at http://www.StopObamaExpress.com

PATRIOT – Please note the fundamental difference in your comment…The Republicans praying for rain during Obama’s speech were NOT Former DNC Chairman OR current Congressman.
The big difference also lies in the context of what they were wishing for.
Republicans = Rain
Democrats = Hurricane (which as you know causes destruction and possibly death)
What a difference that you would not be willing to point out.

How ‘cool’ to be making light and satire of an event that will likely find thousands affected by Katrina that are still living in FEMA trailers and bused all over the place AGAIN and staying in shelters AGAIN that will come home days or weeks from now to find that whatever few things they had, including their FEMA trailer are gone AGAIN!!! HAHAHA laugh it up jerk!

Just reading the posts of you liberals on here sickens me. And, I know you don’t care. How do you live with yourselves when you are consumed with such hatred. Let’s go back to Katrina, who was the Govenor of the state and the mayor of the city, Republicans? NO they were democrats. They were responsible for what happened to New Orleans, because they did nothing, even though all forecasts were telling them that it was going to be a big storm. So stop blaming President Bush and Mr. Rove. And, while I am on my soap box, can any of you tell me how barry made over 4 million bucks last year when the American economy was sooo bad? Only in America. If elected, I bet he will see to it that you barry lovers will never make a million. Pennsylvania will go for McCain.

One is right, one is wrong.

Well finally the so-called “objective” mainstream media actually called out a leftist on something like this. Usually they just accuse the Republicans, conservatives, or libertarians on this stuff without actually doing any investigation.

joe NObiden if he ain’t drunk he’s really pathetic… take out the extra – *dash* in you-tube. ABCs nazis won’t let it thru…

Jane, 10:1 your fellow passenger was black, correct?

The God I serve does not choose sides!Lets ALL be on GOD’S side!

Can’t we all agree that this Democratic National Committee Chairman is just a scumbag? that simple

The rules for states are that in any natural disaster it is the responsiblity of the state government to take control and responsibility of the situation! It is NOT the responsibility of the Federal gov’t. The only responsibility of the Feds is to provide monitary assistance after a state of emergency has been declared! Nagan and the govenor were responsible to make sure that their citizens were provided for…they did not do that, AND after collection many millions of dollars from the gov’t and donations, they cannot tell you where that money went! So much for putting the blame where the blame lies! These are actual gov’t regulations..be sure to check them out so you will know where to place the blame squarely in the face of the guilty parties!

Herb, you are smoking to much herb.

Typical coverage form a left leaning news organization…
As when John Edwards was caught cheating on his cancer stricken wife somehow the story became about John MCain
now some dem scumbag says something offencive and assinine and its about Jerry Farewell..
I was wondering why I just coudnt bring myself to vote for Obama, my heart said yes but my mind said.. Hes a Democrat!

“One doesn’t anticipate that one’s private conversation will be surreptitiously taped by some right-wing nutcase,” said Fowler.
listen stooopid…
it’s not that it was recorded, it’s that you even said in the first place, thats the problem!!!

I am Republican, and I hate guys like Fowler.
But this time I am in the jerk’s defense. When we joke around with our friends, oftentimes we say things that are out of bounds. That’s what jokes often are . . . absurd comments we don’t expect anyone to take seriously.
I don’t believe a private conversation between buddies whould be broadcast as anything more than that — two guys joking around.
If you’re without sin, cast the first stone. But think back. How many of us have not been guilty of gallows humor?
That said — McCain/Palin 2008!

Interesting, a right wing nut case recorded a stupid remark made by a left wing nut case and published it so we all know the true nature of the some of the political animals that are behind the candidates. What a sorry bunch.

To everyone who thought or said out loud that this shows that God is on the dems side…did it ever occur to you that maybe God had a different plan? To give Bush another chance to redeem himself from the Katrina disaster? Even Mayor Nagin has already complimented his response and the storm hasn’t hit yet. McCain has decided to use campain funds to help victims. This storm may very well benefit republicans in a big way. Think it was still God’s plan? And how come every time a liberal posts a comment it is filled with so much hate, personal attacks an name calling. Never intelligent commentary. Just non-sense.

Boy you can sure tell this is an republican site by all the hate I see comming out.Why can’t people have a onversation without all the name calling and you republicans that say it isn’t so need to take another look. I am an independent and will amke my choice when I go into vote and you all sure are turning me off by your comments.Some states you only need one persons knowledge of recording ,others you need both.Seems to me no matter what was said and I agree it was no worse than some praying for tornados and rain,hail in Denver at the DNC.So whats the differance just because a democrate said it .Seems to me noone was saying anything about the people involved any more than the republicans did with there comments to pray for rain storms etc.

Ziggy,
Absolute and full responsibility falls squarely on those who embrace, support and subscribe to Dobson’s ideology.
“Dr. James Dobson, a prominent evangelical leader who once said he would not vote for John McCain “under any circumstances,” announced in the last hour that he planned to vote for McCain.”
http://www.time-blog.com/swampland/2008/08/dobson_says_he_will_vote_mccai.html
Seems McCain worked hard to court Dobson, he pandered and helped changed Dobson’s mind.
“Sen. John McCain said Tuesday he hopes to patch things up with conservative Christian leader James Dobson, who recently said he wouldn’t support the Republican’s presidential bid under any circumstances.”
http://www.rightwingwatch.org/2007/01/with_falwell_ap.html
“It had not been that simple. The McCain campaign had responded that the senator would be in Denver May 2 and would be happy to see Dobson in his hotel suite for a visit not limited by time.”
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/06/mccains_evangelical_problem.html
Moore had a seat at the last Republican convention.
What more can one expect from a party whose most radical proponents resort to religious hypocrisy and blasphemy in needless references to God. One need not invoke God’s name in vain not unless they have nothing useful to say and hope to use the same old tactics of religious fear mongering that are bound to fail.
So far, the tactics seem to be working quite well with McCain and Palin’s in-laws having declared they will vote for their opponents.

Herb, so you’re proclaiming you’re intelligent? How about using some of that intelligence and consider the wisdom, or lack thereof in voting for Obama, who BTS has even less executive experience than the Republican VP candidate.
I’m really enjoying it when Dems keep challenging Palin’s experience. All that does is draw attention to Obama’s clear lack of experience.

As a lifetime independant voter I was about to vote for Obama in the next election. After hearing Democrats mean speach lately about Ms Palin and the hurricane jokes I am Just one more angry Democrat comment or posting away from switching to McCain/Palin. In fact I think you’ve allready gone to far. You are NOT helping Senator Obama at all!! Why all the anger and vile comments by Democrats?

What’s that floating in your tea??
Them’s herbs.
Herb’s WHAT?????
“Taping another persons conversation, without their knowledge, is against the law.”
Ballocks !!!! If you say it audibly in a public place, you on your own, Bunky!!!
On the other hand, look up Boehner and McDermott about the cellphone conversation tapen illegally by MOONBATS and leaked to the media by McDermott.

One would have to assume if a another 9/11 attack occurred during the GOP convention it would be further proof God is on the Dems side and its all cool.
One would have to assume that.

Uh, I will come right out and say it. Uh, uh, I am like a nut-job for Obama. Uh, There are like millions of us. What is like wrong with being like an idiot for Obama? I go to Rev. Wright’s church. He is my hero. BTW, he is like recovering nicely from the bus accident. He and Wm. Ayers are like the co-chairs of our local IFO chapter. Uh, we like meet every week and talk about welfare and stuff and how to like get more stuff from the gubment. I am like really tired of you Republicans calling me like stupid., like it was some kind of like an insult or something. Uh, here on the South side we are very proud people. Uh, we would be like more proud if like the gubment would just give us more welfare and stuff. Obama will like do that. Uh, that is why we like are all for him. Uh, he is like our homey. Like we really like him.

I notice the liberal hate mongers here seem to draw an equivalence between a private citizen making a stupid statement and a Democratic party official making a stupid statement. The difference between Falwell making a stupid statement and a high ranking Democratic party official making a stupid statement, is that nobody has ever been stupid enough to make Jerry Falwell a high ranking official in their political party. Yet apparently, true to form, there are enough Democrats who supported that big jerk Don Fowler and put him in office. He was actually the chief spokesperson and highest ranking Democratic party official at one time. If this is the best they have, it doesn’t say much for what the rest of them are made of.

It is truly sad how Democrats are using this hurricane as an act of God to simply justify their hatred. You are sick!!!! Not to mention inhumane toward these innocent people who we should be praying for instead of wishing the worst on them to satisfy your grotesque political agenda. If they believed in a God they would know that Jesus is the Messiah and not Obama.

We have our first Gold medalist. Lets give a round of applause to The Real Patriot. Not only retarded, but he had to double post.

Breaking news!
Obama will be flying into the eye of the Hurricane without a plane and will put a Basketball right in it! This will weaken the storm to point where obam will put it in his short pocket and than go to a childrens hospital and release the tamed winds to gently blow an irritant form a childa eye who is allergic to the human touch.

McCain has been talking up
his choice of VP 24/7.
She must be a really poor
choice if he has to talk
her up so much.

A Democrat talking about God is like a fish talking about a bicycle.

They sure have prayed for rain for the Dems Convention. God don’t like ugly!

What is this dufuss apologizing for.. Fluck the repugnicans. Like we have to walk on eggs around these idiots?

John,
When is Mccain meeting with the guy who prayed for rain?? Rain versus showing glee over a hurricane?????
Major difference between hoping that somebody stubs a toe and hoping for
them to fall into the hamburger grinder.
On the other hand, everything is equivalent to everything else, right??? Must not be judgemental of ANYTHING…..
Although, raining on the Obamination and Bidet would be as serious as…..why I am horrified to think of it. It would be WORSE than another 1500+ people dying in a hurricane.

Quoting this poster:
“What goes around comes around, God will get you for that and GOD IS on the Democrats side , it is hard to explain why things happen as they do, but this IS POETIC JUSTICE”
Be careful – God doesn’t much care for people speaking for Him, unless He has directed them to speak for him.

one; if you think we have problems with the black people now, watch what happens if obama gets in.{and i don’t that in a racial way}.
two; demos are for those poeple who are not true americans. if they were, they would stand up for what’s right in america, not give in to every nut that wants their way,i.e. gays, lesbos, aboortions. let’s save the whales and protect the animals but, let’s kill babies! let’s free the murderers, rapist, and child molesters so they can have their way!
three; america was founded on biblical princapals which say ‘love GOD first, then your neighbor, then yourself.
J-Jesus first
O-others second
Y-yourself last
THANKS to the A.L.C.U., we’ve come a long way from that. since they’ve gotten their way, the crime rate is up, and climbing, the justice system sucks, and all anyone wants to do is cry, ‘where’s my rights!’
We should consider it an honor and a privilege just to be living after the way we have treated the very one who holds our breath. THAT’S TRUE AMERICA!
If you want to blame something or someone, start with youself and the condition of your heart and get on your knees and ask God to forgive our actions! For falling so far away from Him and trueth.

Ithink the Republicans are smoking something if they think America is going to elect someone like McShame and Palin. You are fooling yourself if you believe that someone that McShame only met once and that no one outside the state of Alaska knows with only 9 weeks from the election. Get real! You know you have a loser and just to prideful to admit it.

All I know is that I thank God for those poor folks that they have a Governor this time around who is taking some action instead of babbling about who should do what.
Buses already moved to safer ground WITH PEOPLE IN THEM. And I bet even that clown Nagin would acknowledge it.

There is no God. If there were Bushie would be hit by a bolt of lightning and Dickie would be a pillar of salt.

The GOP is jumping for joy that it did not have to take its shameless show on the road . . . especially after the DNC last week. Yeah!! Gustav to the rescue.

“What is this dufuss apologizing for.. Fluck the repugnicans. Like we have to walk on eggs around these idiots?”
Naw, you don’t need to walk on eggs. We LIKE it when ya’ll show your true colors.

From a moderate republican looking for something good in the Democratic Party.
So far all I see is the party blame and hate on all these blogs. It isn’t anyones fault that you said what you said EXCEPT YOU.
At least John McCain has proven he can cross the isle and work with the Dems to attempt to solve our problems.
All I see out of the likes of Obama, Biden and Pelosi are people who:
Don’t want to solve our energy problems.
Seems like they want my kids to pay $10-15 per gallon of gas while they figure out how to build a wind powered car.
They Don’t want to win in Iraq. – All you need to say is Jack Murtha to a Soldier or Marine.
They Don’t want people to work and
want to TAKE MY MONEY and GIVE IT TO THEM.
I don’t need Obama, Biden, Pelosi or John McCain or Sarah Palin(for that matter) telling me what’s best for me and my family.

Fowler should apologize. He should go back to school and take “Civics 101″ along with most of the looney left. It’s a nut that thinks he has an expectation of privacy in an open cabin commercial aircraft. What an idiot, an idiot that got caught.

A liberal Obama supporter was hoping and praying that 1000′s of black people (And whites as well) would be killed – and it wouldn’t have been found out unless someone taped him.
“The hurricane’s going to hit New Orleans..That just demonstrates that God’s on our side. [Laughter] Everything’s cool.”
Obama needs to fire and sue this scum-sucking piece of **** and he (Obama) needs to drop out of the race since he can’t even get people who qualify as humans on his team.

Hey Yukiko…I was one of the 32 million who tuned in…just to see whay klind of nonsense that nutjob was going to espouse. And for the record, I’m just a little bit sure I wasn’t the only one.

my color is American.. and we’re going to take it back from the likes of you

McCai nand Palin are handling this with dignity. This ignoramus who is laughing at the Republicans will get whats coming to him. This will enhance the standing of John McCain – he will show America that – unlike Bush- he has compassion and he understands the suffering of the peoples of Louisiana. so go ahead and laugh you IDIOT – this will earn John McCain votes that yoru Muslim terrorist Obama will never see !!!

Nice job Fowler. Even in your apology you are only sorry that you were caught — not that you said those atrocious words. Just like Obama, you only apologize for getting caught. Pathetic. I pray that the people of the Gulf Coast are not subjected another disaster.

I strongly feel that the bad weather has worked in favor of the GOP. The GOP has an opportunity to show the country that they care and homeland security and FEMA have been improved. So far, the support from homeland security and FEMA have been outstanding. The last two days, the focuses have been on the bad weather and GOP support of it. When the storm is over and everyone is safe. The GOP, Bush, homeland security and FEMA WILL GET THE CREDIT.

I don’t get it, I hear all the talking heads describing Obama as a great orator. So, he can read a prepared speech. How does that make him a great orator? Whenever he speaks without a script, he stumbles all over his words. In his prepared speeches, he claims he is going to save America, but he articulates no coherent plan. His socialism will only accelerate America’s decline in a flat economic world. On the other hand Palin has a track record at improving efficiency and effectiveness of government…of making it serve, rather than rule.
Obama may be wearing sheeps clothing, but underneath, he’s the same as other socialist wolves who have weakened America’s absolute sense of values and time-honored insitutions and created an entitlement culture. America faces strong competition from an internationally-leveled economic reality. Obama’s answer is to tell us he will protect us from reality – Palin’s approach will be to strengthen us, to return us to core values that are conducive to greatness.
Obama claims he will save us from ourselves by adopting the failed economic models of socialism.
In a democracy, people deserve the leaders they get; but woe to those who elect a charismatic, but empty-headed pseudo-intellectual who tells them pleasant things; but accelerates their path to weakness.

Ithink the Republicans are smoking something if they think America is going to elect someone like McShame and Palin. You are fooling yourself if you believe that someone that McShame only met once and that no one outside the state of Alaska knows with only 9 weeks from the election. Get real! You know you have a loser and just to prideful to admit it.

Hey William,
I think Democrats (Obots) are smoking crack (besides drinking the kool-aid) if you think that McCain ( who we know is an American, not some “Black Liberation Theology” idiot) and Palin won’t get elected. Palin is someone who can speak from her heart and doesn’t have to read from cards or a telepromter to get her message across. She is a very hard working individual who doesn’t have to CHEAT to get into office. I can’t wait for McCain and Palin to crush Obama and Biden in the debates.

Whos side is God really on?:To give Bush another chance to redeem himself from the Katrina disaster?
Again! God must have the patience of a Saint!

Ziggy, it was quite clear that Dobson on behalf of Bush-McCain whom he endorsed wished and prayed for rain of bilibical proportions. Flooding does differ from rain sufficient for the intent of dispersing a crowd.
“abundant rain, torrential rain … flood-advisory rain.” He adds, “I’m talking about umbrella-ain’t-gonna-help-you rain … swamp-the-intersections rain.”
As for McCain-Bush meeting Dobson, McCain during one of his pandering sessions promised to meet the same man whose organization called for destruction and ruin upon other Americans:
“McCain told the activists Thursday that he also hoped to meet with James C. Dobson, founder of the influential group Focus on the Family, who has said he would not vote for McCain. “The senator spoke fondly of him, but believes there’s probably room for some bridge-building,” said Mike Gonidakis, head of Ohio Right to Life.”
Los Angeles Times; Jun 27, 2008; A.22
So when is McCain-Bush going to distance himself from his hero, now that his hero’s prayers for rain of bibilical proportions have come true upon the people of New Orleans through Gustav?

Whos side is God really on?:To give Bush another chance to redeem himself from the Katrina disaster?
Again! God must have the patience of a Saint!

If McCain is responsible for Falwell and Hagee remarks I guess you libs will hold “the Messiah” accountable for Rev Wright, Bill Ayers and Father “What’s his Name’s” racist and terrorist remarks.
Michael Moore and Don Fowlmouth are human debris on display.

Well .. I, too, am a woman of “a certain age” .. past it actually .. lol .. and I think that the women who profess to switching from Hillary to McCain are a disgrace to the Women of our Country. They are acting like children .. “if you don’t play MY way .. I’ll take my dollies and go home” .. lol. That said .. I cannot understand why Fowler was surprised .. has he forgotten that the GOP is the ‘party of Nixon’ .. and .. I don’t really want to mention this .. but ..remember the “blue dress” ?? Republicans will stoop to just about anything when their backs are against the wall .. like now. Actually .. Gustav is doing them a favor .. now the whole world doesn’t get to listen to their candidates and various “elected officials” .. Dobson had it wrong .. per usual .. we Dems had a heck of a convention we can be proud of .. and the party who needed “outside help” .. if indeed it was .. which I sincerely doubt .. had an excuse to hide behind their “compassionate conservatism”.
Go Obama !!!

For the record. I am from Texas and had occasion to be with one of our Senators, Kay Bailey Hutchison, of Friday. She has been in the Senate for about 10 years. She told me that she did not remember meeting anyone named Obama around there. She said that she had heard about some guy named Hussein, but thought that he lived over in the Middle East, perhaps Iraq or one of those Muslim countries. Are you people sure that this guy Obama is not from Kenya or Indonesia?

John,
Or more accurately that he is responsible for some lackey of the fat greasy film-maker.

Fowler must be/is an idiot.
How can anyone even joke about this.
Sure…..he was only thinking about Rev. Falwell. If you believe that one, I have some beach front property to sell you in New Orleans.
Fowler + Michael Moore are both mentally stupid.
And to think the Democratic party thinks highly of these two “men”.
http://koolkipah.blogspot.com

God doesn’t have time for partisan politics.
And as for the CNN poll, that same poll last week showed McCain 47% and Obama 47% so Obama has gained ground.
Republicans (as I said) half the facts and none of the truth all of the time.
No one said McCain was responsible for Hagee’s remarks.
But when you wingers get all sanctimonious and act outraged that anyone would call a natural disaster an act of God, it pays to remind you that you sing a different tune when its one of your own.
__________
A governor who is a right-winger, endorsed by the neo-cons, not prepared for the job and knows next to nothing about foreign policy, or much of anything besides oil.
Sarah Palin, brought to you by the makers of George W. Bush.

The Dems should take this Fowler jerk and tie him to a post at the waters edge of LA. As a sacrifice to Gustav, if the storm misses than God is on his side if not…..

True colors of the Democrats are showing. CHANGE party, change to despicable politics.

As far as whos side God is on….
According to the bible its very few.
Very few indeed.

I will translate for you:
“I am sorry I got caught and anyone to the right of marx is a nutcase”

James Smithson, sugar, I am confused by your post.
Were you trying to say that Kay Bailey hasn’t been at work in the senate for the past for years, or were you trying to accuse her of being stupid?
______________________

Wow, an ex-DNC Chief calls a concerned citizen a nutcase? What about a p.o.s. party functionary from a political unit that treats the government as a giant ATM?
Wasn’t Fowler the DNC chief under the worst POTUS since Andrew Johnson? That James Earl dude?

John, By your reasoning, Obama (all Hil Him) is responsible for anything off the wall that somebody who WORKS for Babs Streisand or more directly, somebody who WORKS for Oprah.
Quite a reach you have there. “X” once knew and tried to suck up to “Y” so “X” is responsible for his mortgage. In fact they’re BOTH responsible for mine because I saw them on the teewee.

I really do need one of the Obama/Biden supporters to get me those names. Surely, one of kind souls will do this. I’m trying my best to “reach across the aisle”, be bipartisan, and bring us all together, but I need just a little help from one of you kind and loving people. You would like me. I am a bit effeminate, have large ears, and smoke pot.

The difference here is that if a Republican former Chair had said this…he would have believed it.

I feel like our government is filled with a bunch of junior high girls. Just take responsbility for what you do and say. I think America is tired of everyone always passing the blame. Stand up and be a man, everyone makes mistakes and we are much more forgiving of someone who fesses up and says they put their foot in their mouth. Grow up!

How much of the $84 million he gets this week is McCain spending to have all you people on here posting for him?
——–
10 cents a post. sarcasm mode off.

Obama has stated he will meet with hurricane Gusatv with no preconditions and persuade Gustav to change its hell bent course towards destruction.
Obama said it doesnt matter whos God Gustav is on the side of what matters is what side of Gustavs God we are on.

As a Democrat I find these comments offensive and sad and if a GOP member had stated these they would be the front page news and not the hurricane. These people should apologize and Obama should denounce them immediately.

Can’t the airline tell us who taped Fowler? Surely it must be on their records, who sat there. I want to know!

I’ve been a fan of talk radio most of my life. I’m 65.
The single best-ever call-in to a talk show happened on Larry King’s nighttime show on the Mutual Radio Network. Larry had some politicians as guests and they were behaving as expected for their type
Larry took a call. The anonymous caller said in measured tones, with a smooth deep voice, filled with conviction, “Politicians are scum.”
That simple statement of undeniable fact will remain with me forever.
Do not ever lose sight of Reality Rule #1: Politicians care ONLY about themselves. Whatever they do for us — or seem to do for us — is only about furthering their own ambitions. (Whatever exceptions there may be to this rule, they are so few and far between, they may be safely disregarded.)
No, I am not being too cynical. Where cynicism is concerned, there are no excesses.

Ziggy…
Get it straight. Mccain doesn’t have to pay anyone to say things about obama. Polls came out today and only 1 point seperate them both. We democrats picked the wrong horse to run with. Now that people are actully figuring out who obama is there is either buyers remorse or just plain fear of having someone clearly inexperienced running this country. If Kennedy wouldn’t have gotten sick he may well have chosen him as his running mate.I wouldn’t even let obama hold the keys to my new car. No trust what so ever. None!

“How much of the $84 million he gets this week is McCain spending to have all you people on here posting for him?”
DING, DING, we have a WINNER !!!!!

is anyone aware that this scandal in Alaska involving the firing of the person who wouldn’t fire Sarah Palin’s ex brother in law isn’t the first example of cronyism in her career? Check out the following link – even though it’s from the Huffington Post which some of the conservatives among you may not trust- follow THEIR links to articles from the Anchorage papers. She fired the police chief and library director in Wasilla in 1996 because they didn’t endorse her for mayor. There was a recall effort and the chief sued for wrongful termination but three years later lost because the law there allowed her to fire anyone she wanted to. The previous mayor had an agreement not to fire the chief for termination without cause but the council had never voted on it. Those of you who are thinking of supporting her need to fully check her out first because there is MUCH MUCH more on her.

“As a Democrat I find these comments offensive and sad…These people should apologize and Obama should denounce them immediately”
First off, they already did apologize, which is the focus of the whole article (groan followed by eye roll). Second I am sure you are as much a Democrat as Rush Limbaugh is.
And the rest of you know full well Fowler wasn’t making light of the hurricane, he was making fun of all the idiots in your party like Falwell who claimed 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina was God’s punishment against liberals and the city of New Orleans. Where was all your outrage then?? Nowhere of course, you were busy making the same BS claims as Falwell trying to use the disasters for political gain.

Oddmanout,
Sure you’re responding to me and not TxMom???????
Posters name is below the posting. :-)

Obama’s executive experience was on the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, only he doesn’t want to brag about it because A) He wasted squandered and defrauded $100million dollars of the Walter Annenberg estate grants in attempting to build a solid Marxist education for Chicago youth and because B) he did so working for FIVE years with terrorist neostalinist BILL AYERS!! Obama had given millions in earmarks to the University of Illinois at Chicago and that’s why their library wouldn’t immediately release the donated boxes of papers about the CAC project—they had to redact them first, but the facts remain.

TXMOM: I am still waiting for Obamas experience that makes him more experienced than McCain and Palin combined.

One doesn’t anticipate that one’s private conversation will be surreptitiously taped by some right-wing nutcase,” said Fowler. “But that’s the nature of what we’re dealing with.”
What about the left wing nutcase making ssuch stupid comments?

When will Democrats learn to fight dirty? It’s a sad reality, but most Americans lie to themselves and pollsters when they say they don’t like negative political ads. If the Democrats were smart, Don Fowler would have really hammered home the point that his remarks, though heartless and thoughtless, were recorded and used in an underhanded and sneaky manner by the Republicans. When Republicans and their supporters make stupid, heartless comments, they always somehow place the blame on someone else. It’s a sad truth, but Democrats are going to have to sling some mud to win this one. Republicans can’t govern worth a da mn, but they sure can lie, deceive, and scare the American public into supporting them. After all, this is the party that scared White ,Southern males into voting overwhelmingly Republican in the 60′s by convincing them that somehow Blacks would completely control the Democratic party if the civil rights movement passed. This is the party that once again, played on White fears by using Willie Horton. Republicans are also the party that took a tragedy like 9/11 and convinced some simple- minded Americans that we would somehow be more susceptible to terrorist attacks if Democrats were in office. This is also the party that also convinced some gun toting simpletons that Democrats were fixated on confiscating their guns . Republicans also got some “sheep ” to follow their lead by convincing them that “gay marriage ” would somehow endanger solid marriages between men and women. If Democrats were really smart, they’d realize that Americans don’t want sound, thoughful, policies. Americans only respond simple ,negative sound bites. It’ s a sad, but true reality.

I view the hurricane as a blessing to us all. It allows us the opportunity to see that our country is ready for these type of bad situations. So far, I feel very good that the people of these states are being treated good and most of safe. Also, it places the GOP, Bush, Homeland Security and FEMA in a good light. And, thank you McCain for changing your convention to support our country in this time of need. When I heard what McCain was going, it makes me smile. This democrat will be voting for McCain/Palin in November.

Aboleo,
A community organizer is the name of a person trying to hide from the reality of getting a real job. It looks good on your resume when you actually enter the real work force. Unfortunately it doesn’t even get you a $30,000 a year job. Now we have a pinhead touting this as a trait worthy of getting the keys to this country. Laughable.

What an idiot. Sure seem to hear comments like this from Liberals often. It’s really pathetic. Another reason to vote for McCain/Palin.

TXMOM: I am confused, you said Obama had more experience tha Palin. Yet you can’t produce any. How could that be?

John, I could not give less of a rat’s ass about who backs McCain/Palin in an un-PC way . Or who backs Obama in an un-PC way.
The issue that started this whole go round was that a former official of the Democratic party is an asshat who opened a case of dumbass by getting caught running his mouth. And has made a wesel crap attempt at ducking responsibility.
Obama is no more responsible for him than McCain is for some low level evangelical but it IS telling that this chump in question IS a former Dem official and still carries some suck with them. Also the degree of ill will that this buckethead showed vs somebody asking for what amounts to a heavy rain.

Randy: OBama is a marxist, racist, terror-affiliated pathological liar and he’s hiding is executive experience from the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, because he was a criminal corrupt marxist FAILURE who worked with Bill Ayers.

This just shows how most Libs actually feel about the American people. Lib’s only care about increasing their power and taking away power and money from Americans so we’ll have to rely on more and more layers of unelected, nameless and faceless bureaucrats running our lives.
Most people think of National Healthcare as something that is good for Americans. The fact that it has already been proven throughout the world that it does not work and is not sustainable apparently means nothing to our politicians. Apparently they know better.
What most American’s don’t understand about National Healthcare is that once you give the bureaucrats control over our healthcare, more importantly you also give them control over who doesn’t gets healthcare. Is this what you really want – some bureaucrat telling you that your loved one can’t have what they need? And there’s nothing you can do about it. You can’t vote them out of office; you can’t sue them; you are screwed, and so is your loved one.
Welcome to Socialist Nirvana, also known as “change”.
Good luck with all of that.

At least now that the secular Dems (who often pretend to be spiritual and godly) are convinced there is a God they have no choice to but to become conservatives and ban abortion and quit pushing the homosexual agenda. Oh! You mean this is just another one of their “yeah, there is a God” – tongue in cheek moments. Satire… I get it… too bad for you it’s only satire and not an actual confession. Pretty much reflects who you are… doesn’t it!? Didn’t like that too much… did you?

God is punishing all those Republicans for using His name in vain!

sonofdy…
Read MY posts for a comparison of dutes between Obama and Palin..
Also please note (and do some research if you don’t believe me) that Sarah Palin forgot to mention when talking about one of chief “reforming” efforts that the “Bridge to Nowhere” she said she decided the state could build itself without federal funding – she strongly campaigned for receiving federal funding for before she was governor….then after it failed… she express major disappointment that federal funding didn’t come through…now she’s trying to say she turned it down as some sort of anti-pork barrel measure… for goodness sakes go do some research on her and don’t embarass yourselves.

who would jesus bomb?

I think the Obama supporters are upset because Dumbo Obama only got a 8 pt convention bounce, when even, Dukakis, got a 12pt bounce. Just shows that America doesn’t want Dumbo (Big Ears) Obama in OUR White House!
McCain/Palin 08!

Karronna you keep neglecting that OBAMA IS A CRIMINAL
check out rottenacorn.com and the Chicago Annenberg Challenge
The only thing he’s good at is pushing marxism (well he failed at developing the educational system he and Ayers were after) and wasting tons and tons of money…
I’m sure Walter Annenberg whose estate they defrauded and squandered would roll over in his grave at what Obama did…
and hey!! he can waste America’s money just as well, only this time in the TRILLIONS~!

It’s a b*tch getting caught acting like an *sshole, isn’t it?
Posted by: Steve | Aug 31, 2008 10:06:24 PM
I second that, but I don’t think he was acting.

If you are hillary supporters, don’t go to Palin rally… you have to listen Palin prasing hillary for her votes then, you have to listen hillary booed…
Don’t be used by Republican manipulation.

I’d like to see Fowler and Spratt apologize. Fowler didn’t say. Instead he tries to lay blame to the “right-wing nut case” instead of the failings of his own judgement of what is good taste. I wish for once when someone screws up they would just directly own up to their mistake.

Karronna, And a “community organizer” presides over what? Help me here. Perhaps a roomful of welfare idiots?
If “I am who I’ve been waiting for”, what am I supposed to do when I get here? And, when I get here , will there be two of us here or only me?
I must ask the Great Black Bhudda (may a good peice get up on him).

Marley, I’m sure the FREE CONCERTS WITH Stevie Wonder, Will.I.Am, Michael McDonald, Sheryl Crow AND Bon Jovi had nothign whatsoever to do with the attendance!!!
NOT

Ummm, the DNC spent millions on a spectacle on a pseudo building to satisfy their own ego. Before the hurricane, I thought how all that money could have been spent in helping others.
Perhaps, their own self serving ego took priority one. This is the party that advocates putting others first. I find it interesting.

ZeM: I just do not know what to do: to be used by Republican manipulation or Democrat manipulation… I will go with Republican manipulation.

The Obama Campaign refers to whites who earn <$50,000/year as "poor white trash" http://husaria.wordpress.com/2008/08/31/obama-campaign-calls-clintons-and-working-people-white-trash/

dear jesus, please dont ruin our convention, we love you and america more than the democrats!

John Roberts: Today, Obama did mentioned, he is planning to email each of he 2 millions email addresses he collected and ask for more money….

Aboleo,
have you checked out how many votes McCain has missed this year? quite a bit more than Obama.
just sayin….
And from what I see it’s the Republicans who seem to ONLY mention the community organizing as Obama’s resume…I noticed several times this morning when they were attempting to defend Palin’s resume they ONLY mentioned the oranizing and NEVER mentioned the 8 years in the senate …making it appear to have not existed

So the GOP can dish it out but can’t take it? That’s typical!!!

And that we are spending so much time talking about this bs is just another example of this country going down the toilet. If we only spent half as much time and energy on addressing our real problems……PATHETHIC!

Miguel,
I assume then that you agree that McDermott (D-Wash) should pay Boehner (R-Ohio) the Million dollars plussssss that the court determined he owes for misuse of a recording of a cellphone conversation by a couple of Democratic flunkies????

To miguel: I hope you vomit and get that crap out of your system and get to thinking straight and learn to read critically and not just be breast fed by the mainstream media, you baby.

Wow! It is amazing that he can’t even accept responsibility without blaming someone else. It is as if he is saying “Certainly a Democrat cannot be perceived as insensitive. Who would believe it?”

A servant of the public, democrat or Republican, is supposed to protect the public’s trust and have good will toward the citizens he or she is to serve. This Fowler guy needs to be removed from any form of public service.
Any person serving the public in the mass media or in political office or as a member of a political organization, who makes light of innocent people who are at risk of loosing their lives has removed themselves from any form of public service.
This is no joke! The “politically correct” democrat party has introduced such gross indecencency to public service … while pointing toward the so-called “cold, heartless” Republicans as examples and holding up themselves, the democrat as the party of compassion.
If a Republican is exposed by a democrat, and their media, to be gay … close to an election, the democrats will attack him in the most heartless, crude fashion. It seems toe democrat party has lost it’s soul and love for mankind. Everything and everyone is reduced to pawns needed to win an election.

Has everyone lost their sense of humor for harmless jokes? Everyone of all polito/social persuasions needs to lightn up. Otherwise, there will be no need to save lives because life will not be worth living. This guy is an idiot for apologizing.

This guy’s ‘apology’ is more profane than the statement for which he apologized. To borrow a play from the democrats, I’m going to call the other side evil on this one. Those socialists are going to have a great time in hell.

All this PRAISE for an administration that did not do their job for KATRINA??
Now the GOP is being praised almost congratulated for DOING WHAT THEY HAVE SHOULD HAVE DONE 3 years AGO.. TOTAL INSANITY PEOPLE.. This is NOT about politics it’s about sparing human lives and holding elected officials accountable for DOING THEIR JOBS– what elected tehm to do in he 1st place! THE GOP cannot “make up” for the lives that were lost and the communities and schools destroyed by Katrina…
Praise for what??

He just echoed what tons of right wing nuts said about Hurricane Katrina and WOULD have said if it happened during the DNC last week.
Let’s see how McCain exploits Gustav for his own political advantage. I can see him boarding his wife’s plane now on his way to New Orleans. How pathetic!!

This guy’s ‘apology’ is more profane than the statement for which he apologized. To borrow a play from the democrats, I’m going to call the other side evil on this one. Those socialists are going to have a great time in hell.

John Roberts–good point. All that wasted money for Obama’s ego and grandstanding and his quote from his book Audacity of Hope comes to mind “White mans greed versus the world in need”. Makes you think about his brother and other family members living in huts on $1 month with no help from Obama, doesn’t it?

“clarity”, the New Orleans citizens are lucky the current administration learned from the past. Unfortunately for the GOP it happened on their watch. The Dem Governor and Mayor got a pass for their ineptitude, even though they’re on the scene and Bush has the rest of the world to worry about while we’re at war.

The Lord Obama the most merciful’s so called *change* was born out of the communist manifesto. He is using Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals as his guide to implement *change* through social engineering and deceit. He practiced and perfected this dark art as a rabble-rouser thug (as Bill Clinton has told us) in the streets of Chicago and now wants to do so in your towns and streets. Don’t fall for this; his win will be your loss of freedom and liberty.
His obamatron drones are using these same rules to smear Sarah Palin.
RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”
RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.”

sk8boardgrind, Jesus was not a liberal. Jesus would never have the disgusting things Fowler said. Please give Jesus more credit then that, please. Or perhaps you need to come down off your high horse and eat some humble pie. I think you need it.

Politicians of all ilks are so spineless that I next expect them to apologize for living.

@ Clarity
Your an idiot. Even Ray Nagin blamed Gov. Blanco for the response, not Bush:
” After days of blaming the federal officials for not responding quickly enough to the Hurricane Katrina crisis, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin praised President Bush on Monday – and charged that Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco had delayed federal rescue efforts by 24 hours.
I’m so happy that the president came down here,” Nagin said of Bush’s Friday visit to Louisiana in an interview with CNN. “He came down and saw it, and he put a general on the field. His name is General Honore. And when he hit the field, we started to see action.
But Nagin had harsh words for his state’s leaders, telling CNN: “What the state was doing, I don’t frigging know. But I tell you, I am pissed. It wasn’t adequate.”
The New Orleans Democrat said he urged Bush to meet privately with Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco during the visit. The meeting took place aboard Air Force One, he said.
After reviewing the crisis with Gov. Blanco, Bush summoned Nagin for a private chat – where, according to Nagin, Bush explained: “Mr. Mayor, I offered two options to the governor. I said . . . I was ready to move today. The governor said she needed 24 hours to make a decision.”
Reacting to the governor’s footdragging, Nagin lamented: “It would have been great if we could have left Air Force One, walked outside, and told the world that we had this all worked out.”
“It didn’t happen, and more people died.”
http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/9/5/234033.shtml
Is that all you braindead Socialists can do is blame Bush? My god.

I do not want to put my life, my family’s lives, my friends lives, in the hands of someone I never heard of until Friday. How could she possibly take over without any Washington experience. Talk about on the job training!! At least Biden could take off and lead without any pauses. Also, I feel that recording anyone, anywhere, is unlawfuly. I wouldn’t want that to happen to me as I do sometimes joke around and say things that I wouldn’t want public. Think about it, I bet you guys have too.

Aboleo,
It’s all they have. They got to go with what fits with their worldview.
Remember these are people whi still think that Edwards is some kind of frackin’ positive example. And most of them got misty about Uncle Teddy at the convention. “That man is a SAINT, a SAINT I tells ya’”

I know that i am changing the subject here, but has the date for Fat Teddy’s funeral been set yet? I hope that it doesn’t coincide with one of the planned debates or one of the football games that I want to watch. I have to go. I’m Mary Jo’s cousin. Sorry if I offended anyone. I was only making a joke about MLK being shot in Memphis. BTW, he really liked hot women like that Michelle babe. Even JFK and RFK would have liked a shot at her I think.
Hope I didn’t offend anyone. I was only trying to be funny with that last little joke of mine. Kinda got that Fowler sense of humor.

Katrina was a DEMOCRAT screw-up! Remember the trucks riding all over while the ice on them melted? That was because Governor Blanco (a Democrat) had them turned away at the state line. Remember the buses underwater after Mayor Nagin didn’t even bother to follow the already-prepared evacuation plans? Although Mississippi’s National Guard was put on alert on the 27th, it wasn’t until after President Bush urged Blaco to evacuate New Orleans that Ray Nagin started trying to organize and evacuation. It wasn’t a Republican-led police department that abandoned their posts and let the citizens fend for themselves, nor was it Republicans that decided to scrap the Second Amendment and seize all firearms, which people needed in those lawless first days. (Speaking of lawless, do you remember all the people looting and running during the midwest floods this spring? Neither do I.) It wasn’t a Republican government that neglected those levees for decades and pissed away what funds were they got for their upgrade. And while most of the Gulf Coast has managed to recover fairly well (Mississippi has a Republican governor) under Nagin’s so-called “leadership” New Orleans is still limping along, waiting to get raped by Gustav.
The people of Louisiana know what went down and whose fault it was, that’s why they elected Bobby Jindal, the forst Republican governor in Louisiana since reconstruction. As for Nagin’s re-election, well, some people never learn, and as the old saying goes “Those who are ignorant of the past are doomed to vote Democrat.”

lit147, why are talking about Biden. Obama has no experience whatsoever. I am from IL and I am ashamed to say that Obama voted PRESENT 120 times in our legislature rather than vote yes or no. To me he didn’t want to take a stand on things were he could be painted into a corner on issues by having voted on them. What kind of a senator does that make him. Not a very good one I’d say. That shows he doesn’t care about the people who elected him. The position was just a step toward the predentcy. His core value is himself.

The man’s last name “Fowler” suits him well.

the way i see it mccain palin has the most experiance now and if something happened to mccain i feel like she has the judgement to pick someone with foreign policy experiance to be vice president and still have obama trumped

God IS smiling on the Republicans. Look at the response they got from the citizens of New Orleans!
The mayor finally listened to the governor and started doing his job.
Another job well done by organized labor.

It’s ridiculous. Nobody apologize for this madness! First, it was a private conversation, second, WTF was some nincompoop doing recording it. Outrageous. Of course, Focus on the Family was praying for rain in biblical proportions so perhaps this is the answer to their prayer.

This is sad since it really shows where Democrats hearts really are. Time and time again they have used Hurricane Katrina as a political football rather than lift a finger to do anything. Obama is the worst since the only thing he has done is a community activist which nobody really knows what that involved other than shady deals with Rezko.

If hurricane Gustave is to be a bad omen on the Republicans, what about the tornadoes that struck the Denver area prior to the DNC?

Sarah Palin has done more in one heart beat than Obama has for four years as Senator.
Please, keep your change.

What Do You Know About Obama? To check the factual, history of Barack Hussein Obama. Go computer then find out. enter: out Obama/Saul Alinski”, “Obama, Bill Ayers Bernardine Dohrn”, “Obama/Jerry Kellman”, “Obama/Pro-Palestinian Arab-American Group”, “Obama/Rashid Khalidi”, “Obama/Betrayal of Alice Palmer”, etc.
We forget the euphoria of 1958-59-60, surrounding the quick rise of Castro. We were all euphoric when Castro took over Cuba. Castro promised CHANGE. Castro…a Marxist fooled us all. Such a fine poster-boy as Obama was a guarantee of 80% to 90% of all black voters for starters…why not Obama? The formula is working. “neighborhood organizer”. Obama’s Job: listen to the people’s troubles and travails. dig for information and listen with a sympathetic ear and keep track of their annoyances, complaints and information. “RUB THE WOUNDS AND RESENTMENTS UNTIL THEY’RE RAW AND BRING ON MORE COMPLAINTS” AND THEN PROMISE“CHANGE”! It worked for Castro! In 1958-59-60. Castro’s spoke of freedom and great things to come for all the Cuban people. Castro promised “CHANGE” JUST THE SAME AS Obama is doing now! It was straight out of the writings of Karl Marx.the ambiguous word “CHANGE” became the “BIG LIE”. “Obama was a self proclaimed student of Karl Marx since he was young in Hawaii and continued on with his beliefs and studies. He continued his preparation until he was at Harvard and proudly displayed a Russian Communist Flag in his dorm room”.

Dear 13-yr old with a crush on a skateboard. Here’s some attention that you’ve been craving for. It’s way past your bedtime… beddy bye now and don’t forget to eat your fruit loops when you wake up, ok?

oddmanout;;;; Not only can I SEE (not sea), but I can spell.
I’m not defending the behavior of her brother-in-law. If he’s a crook, he should be in jail. But NO ONE can break the law. If she used her position to get him fired – she was WRONG and she should pay the price for it! That’s why relatives can’t pull the switch when people are criminals are executed. We have a judicial system to handle that.
The truth is you’d never vote for Obama. It wouldn’t matter what experience he had. You don’t like him. I get it – But admit it and quit trying to hide behind his “experience” and yet try to defend hers. It just doesn’t gel.

notyurGOD wow. You are really clueless.
” like any omnipotent being would care ”
Have you ever heard of something called the bible? Have you heard of the 10 commandments? Abortion runs contrary to ” thou shalt not kill ” and the bible referencing gays being stoned I think makes that pretty clear.
It’s clear where both parties stand on the issues and why the Catholic church consistently won’t let Liberals ( Kerry / Biden / Pelosi / etc. ) take communion, can’t say the same for conservatives because they don’t vote for infanticide like Obama and the above mentioned did.
I’m sure your not religious as it would make you live your life with boundries / rules / morals / etc. and you couldn’t marry your same sex partner which I’m sure would be a deal breaker for you.

I REALLY did strike a nerve. One of you reported me and requested my posts be blocked.
Too bad there are ways around that.
We knew you wingers really did not like free speech, especially when its true.

“One doesn’t anticipate that one’s private conversation will be surreptitiously taped by some right-wing nutcase,” said Fowler. “But that’s the nature of what we’re dealing with.”
But when a elderly couple sat in a car, with a tape recorder on their seat, and recorded a cell phone conversation between Newt Gingrich and 2 other republicans, their action was in service of their country, and hapened PURELY accidently. Yeah…..RIGHT!

Yeah, I really believe that God is on the Democrats side. I’m sure he just loves all the abortions since Roe v. Wade and how the Democrats just embrace abortion every time the issue comes up. I’m sure that he also approves of “alternative lifestyles” and such as well. No need to follow the plans that he laid out for his people just “do your own thing” and “if it feels good do it.”
Yeah, I’m sure God is all behind that way of thinking.
Sincere prayer may be in order.

I’ll tell you what happened to Shifty Joe Lieberman. He sold his soul because Johnny Mac promised him the VP slot. He was McCain’s REAL pick but his people were afraid of a right-wing rebellion and at the last minute, convinced him to pick Sarah Palin to reassure the conservatives (and try to pick up women).
That’s some maverick!

TxMom, If you and everyone you know and are kin to (did you marry a cousin?) in Texas, vote for the Little O Boy, McCain will still mop the floor with the Little O Boy’s as* in Texas, Unless, that is, you can get everyone in the cemetaries to vote for him. Even LBJ couldn’t get all of them to the polls. Many of your facts are very wrong. Example: Ann Richards was an idiot. Molly Ivins was an idiot. Both died of chronic stupidity. Sorry if I offended you. Little barry has NOT been in the Senate four years. Obviously, your degree wasn’t in math. Have another glass of that koolaid there mama.

Ken, you state: “Remember, many individuals with a great deal of experience have blundered irreparably, while many without experience have made the best decisions.”
After asking: “What has Barack Obama accomplished in his brief tenure in the Senate?”
Better go back to Debate 101, boy.

McCain will be President live with it – or not

Who is the little snake that taped a private conversation on a plane? Let’s have that person’s name in bright lights. What a despicable human being.

Wait, what? It’s the fault of the guy that recorded it?
I give up. I really used to think that the Democratic party at least believed in what they said….I guess they mean it until they get caught.
Appalling.

Funny all the liberals are the ones who hit the comment submit twice because they’re so anxious to overtalk everyone else and their comments don’t appear instantaneously.
On this board there three instances of this occurring, one right above my comment, all by Fowler defenders.
Cool your jets folks you’ll be heard. (or are you too used to having your comments deleted for their usual exorbitant length and rancidness?)

…just wondering how much the Dems would howl if the tables were turned on this…BTW: For either side: It’s not whether God is on your side, but whether you are on God’s side.

In a crisis who would you want to make the decisions for the country? Obama, Palin, McCain, Biden?
Between these two who would you trust more to defend the country? President Obama or Vice President Palin? Who do you think loves the country as it is? Who sees this country as a country of bible toting, hate-filled nuts who needs to be saved from themselves?
Finally, is it good for a country to elect a leader who hates the country they want to lead? Would you marry someone who hates you?

I would like to grab my AR and head down to New Orleans to give the National Guard a hand. Could be a hell of a lot of fun.

This line says it all…
“We reject Obama because of his poor judgment, which we glean from his experiences — his public and private record, bad associations, dissembling, radical principles, and miserable legislative decisions.” – marklevinfan.com

Democrats using a natural disaster and deaths for political gain. Who would figure

Palin is soooo HOT! And Fertile! I’m now an ex-ObamaMan,because that’s all it took! Also my wife gave up her Hillary dreams and is looking for some more excitement!
Palin-McCain ’08!
yeah, right.

Blanco was the governor of Louisiana. She has executive experience. Why didn’t McCain pick her?? That’s a rhetorical question. The truth is there are several women such as Kay Bailey-Hutchinson that are more qualified, but they are Pro-choice (and not as cute). McCain had to go all the way to Alaska to find a anti-abortion, gun-toting hot mama.

haha~~ dems are so funny. lol. hehe. Typical of dems to state such garbage.

Sarah Palin is so hot.

Political lesson of the day: Be careful what you ask people to pray for; you may find yourself embroiled in a public relations flap.
The political arm of the socially conservative Focus on the Family religious group today yanked from its website a video that called on folks to ask God to open the heavens and let precipitation pour on Barack Obama just before his nomination acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention on Aug. 28.
Stuart Shepard, director of digital media at Focus Action (and a meteorologist to boot), wrote and appeared in the video (see below) that he posted in late July.
In it, he rhetorically asked if it would be wrong to ask people to join him in praying for rain two minutes before Obama takes the stage for his big moment at Invesco Field in Denver. And not just a drizzle — in friendly, conversational fashion, Shepard said he had in mind “abundant rain, torrential rain, urban-and-small-stream flood-advisory rain.”

Don’t any of you conservative idiots here ever fact-check your points? Ever? It really makes you out for who you really are- sheep that follow a stick and need a dog to keep you in line. For God’s sake try to find some dignity in what you write instead of hiding behind your easy ignorance. You are being lead by the nose and it is really obscene, like some kind of dominant submissive political porn show. I feel sorry for people like you who want to be abused, and still want to slap your butts into sanity.

God is on the Democrat’s side? Somehow, I don’t think He sides with those who believe it’s okay to suck his creations down a sink.
That said, I doubt He’s on the republican’s side either.
Both parties are really lacking in leadership and ethics.
Surely, in a country as great as this, there is someone truly worthy of being elected President.

Really Now,
Thank you for your concern…..

The blessing of Gustav will be the compassion that is seen for the people by the President and the Republicans. This will work ultimately for their benefit. Wouldn’t it be nice if the $3million that Obama spent on his stage could have been directed instead toward the people of the Gulf coast.

Ramaci: Nice post! I hadn’t heard that yet. That’s what we need, someone who is going to work hard and do the right things for the people… not someone who gives superfluous speeches and votes present to avoid commitment to an issue. Obama at 3am… “What, we’re being attacked!?… I need to make a decision… well, just let them know I’m here in bed. Click!”

Well folks praying for rain and joking about a hurricane are different.
It’s amusing to me that the tenderhearted, easily-offended left can dish it out but boy oh boy they can’t take it…not even in measured minute doses.
Rain < Hurricane.

There is, and the majority of Americans sense it. Obama, a man who can speak, not another bumbler stumbler that the world had no respect for, or an angry old man too close to his deathbed to be a viable leader. Even the conservatives hated him, till he became their only choice, then somehow he changed.

I find it ironic that the Republicans were praying for it to rain on Obama’s acceptance speech and now it is going to storm on their convention. Two storms in fact Gustav and Hanna.
Be Careful What You Wish For. You Might Just Get it !!!

Funny how different the republicans response to an emergency situation is during an election year.

I think Palin will definitely appeal to the Reagan Democrats and win them over. We all know that suburbia voters win elections. McCain was right on target in choosing Palin, who will win these voters over to the GOP. This choice underlines the “maverick” definition of McCain, and distances him even further from George Bush. Palin was an excellent choice…..McCain rolled the dice here and has come out a winner!

I honestly can’t understand how anyone could be so stupid as to vote Repuglican. Then I read some of these comments…

Blah, blah, blah…
Another Democrat being their usual rude self and then apologizing when public scrutiny turns up the heat.
Same old, same old.
General public is getting so sick of their rhetoric.

Jeff:
How could you possibly vote for an inexperienced VP candidate like that?
She has very little experience.
In fact when it comes to experience in the Executive Branch of Government, she only has slightly more experience than Obama, Biden and McCain COMBINED.

I think the Democrats harping on the experience issue with Palin is going to come back and blow up in thier faces. Palin has governed a state (executive branch) for two years, has balanced the budget, had revenues out the gazoo, and had over a 90% approval rating.
Obama, who, btw, IS the Democratic nominee for President, has been a senator for a couple of years, in which he voted “present” for over 90% of the time instead of taking a stance on the issues, and in this 2 years, has been running for President about 16 mos of them.
Now, when it comes to experience, its clear that Palin (VP candidate) has more experience than Obama (Pres. candidate).
Sorry, Democrats, if I were you, I would lay off the “experience” stance.

“PALIN: You know, if I had to make such a decision today, it would be, no, there are a lot that Alaska could be, should be doing to contribute more to the U.S. and I think that I can help do that as governor of the state staying here.”
That dog won’t hunt. Obama said the same thing about running for president, when asked. In fact, he said he did not have enough experience to run.

What’s the point saying it and then apologising? What exactly are you apologising for? Everything true thing is in jest. Does McCain apoligise when he makes bigtime gaffes? No! Do you know why? Yeah! It’s because he is soooo old that old people say and do whatever the hell they like and who don’t don’t like it can go to hell. That’s why Jogn McSame gets away with a lot of sour, dour jest

Never before has a natural disaster of epic proportions been so brutally manipulated for political gain as when Democrats used Katrina to bludgeon President Bush in 2005.
Until now, that is.
Where, oh where, among those comments by “bleeding heart” liberals Fowler and Moore is the slightest empathy or concern for the thousands of poor Americans about to be devastated by Hurricane Gustav?
Again, the mindless drivel uttered by Michael Moore and Don Fowler proves that liberalism is the mother of all hypocrisy and hatred!

Lana, Well said but we should also remind them that it was a Dem Gov for Katrina and now a Rep Gov for Gustav. We wont include the mayor he is the village idiot in any party. I was one of the soldier who had the priveledge of cleaning up after hurricane Andrew dring Clintons watch. Funny not many complained it took him a week to get us down there.

I’m not surprised that a Dem would wish harm on others to advance their agenda. They have been praying for solders to die for years. Thousands dieing from a hurricane would fit the bill.

Does everyone need a joke to lighten things up?
Why was Obama so popular with the Illinois state senate?
During every vote, he was always offering a “present”.

Goes to show what kind of hacks we have in DC on BOTH sides. Nobody really expects much from dolts who can’t run a business do they? Obama would like to punch the guy right in the jaw just like anyone else who had an emplyee who drove the company name into the dirt. McCain CAN be expected to do that to someone some day. Adults and citizens with their heads screwed on straight don’t run for office for these very resons.

Hey, I made the same joke myself. These evangelicals are always blaming catastrophes on “sinners” bringing down God’s wrath. Well, God’s wrath appears to have come down on the GOP sinners this week.

Did you read that Sean (puff diddy) Combs (republican) was complaining about the high cost of fuel? It has become too expensive to fly his private jet back and forth between NCY and LA and now has to fly commercial. He says, “Whoever is the next president better bring down the price of oil.” Can you believe this guy???? If I were president I would have all private jets grounded. That’ll save some oil for everyone else. I say, bring back rationing.

I think its actually refreshing for a Dem to apologize for making a rude joke, (taking note Olberman?) generally they rationalize any partisan behavior as their perogative for opposing the evil of conservatives, and just for being so awesome.
To answer your question “Sam” whether Americans can read a natural born leader, I sincerely hope they can, in which case they’d never let your guy Obama within 5 feet of the Oval Office since he hasn’t lead so much as PTA meeting in his entire. The only buck that stopped on his desk were ones from Tony Resko.
As for “Beth” who claims that everything that people who believe in God thinks is wrong, one simple question, what makes you “right” exactly? The narcissism of the secular Left never fails to amaze me, and disappoint.

Let me see, beautiful weather for the DNC convention and Obama’s outdoor speech. Hurricane during the RNC convention. God has cast his vote.

Much to do over nothing. But drama queens can find drama in anything.

I do find it ironic that after the Focus on the Family group supporting John McCain actually taped their intention of Praying for torrential rains on the night of the Obama convention speech has backfired on them. This may be a sign from God to remind us the failed policies of the Rethuglicans.
Don Fowler only said what I’m sure has already crossed many of our minds.

Bill Clinton didn’t leave his wife while she was in a hospital recovering from injuries sustained in a horrible accident. McCain was a woman chaser and finally found one with enough money to support his lavish lifestyle. McCain is a gold-digger who abandoned his wife when she was in the hospital.

Chip, you have got to be kidding me. When you apologize for supporting the worst President in American history, you’ll deserve to be listened to. Until then, you may want to refrain from the stone throwing. Your glass house is in danger.

Sara Palin is a desperation move, a hail mary pass. The GOP know that they are losing the electoral race and are willing to try anything to win. Next up will be the fear tactics and then the smear campaign will go into overdrive. What about the issues?

Nobama…Nobama…Nobama…Nobama!
Obama’s economic plan:
increase abortions to increase revenue so the abortion doctors can pay higher taxes,
provide complimentary health care to everyone so the doctors can go bankrupt,
negotiate with the radical leaders of the world and convince them to give us money to fuel our cars and factories at lower prices,
provide higher education to everyone(all done over the internet through text messaging),
cut unneeded programs like $3 million stages for speeches at football stadiums!
ALL RHETORIC…NO MEAT…NOBAMA!

Breck, you’re right. John Edwards is an ass for commiting adultery with one woman while his wife had cancer. I won’t vote for him if you won’t vote for McCain.

saints preserve us..
not blaming the victims, just those who were originally in charge of the 1st preperation and response.

What more could you expect from a Democrat. At least McCain is thinking of the people instead of himself. Had the Democrats been having their convention at this time, you can bet your life it would not have been suspended! Remember Democrats, “people first” government second”.

He the State Trooper scandal in Alaska is this. We have a State Trooper that Tasered his 11 year old step son, drove his squad car drunk, shot and killed wildlife out of season (poaching), and threatened to put a lead bullet in Governor Palin’s father’s forehead. Hmmmmmm……gee monagan….maybe the Trooper is a loose cannon, and since the State Trooper’s provide security to the Governor….she had a right not to want him on her security detail. MORON !!! Basically, the Good Old Boy Network dismissing a women’s concerns and shielding a fellow trooper. Governor Sarah Palin is strong capable women that has brought reform to our State. She took on the oil companies, and brought them in line, and has certain corrupt people gunning for her. Mmmmm…..oil money….No Palin…lots of bribe money…mmmm….oil money. Go Governor Palin. Thank you cleaning things up.

Shawn, should Bush and McCain go to China too since they were eating cake and having a party while Katrina was hitting New Orleans? The only reason they’re paying more attention this time is because it’s an election year.

I don’t think joking about a hurricane, where people could get killed, is a bit funny.
I also don’t think calling someone a “right wing nutcase” is particularly useful.
Just like a democrat–always blaming someone else for his problems.
Some people get wiser as they get older. Some people just get older. Sounds like this man is in the second category.

All you angry radical Obama lovers…
what makes you so angry?

“King of Men” = Honest liberal.

…and as for racist. Just look at Rev. Jeremiah Wright who mentored Obama for over 20 years and married the Obamas.

Silly Lib’s it’s not a private conversation when it’s held in a public place.

Fowler is a hypocrite to claim that God is bringing a hurricane on the people of the Gulf Coast because He sides with Democrats. Those same Democrats have blamed everyone but the Governor (D) and the Mayor (D) when Katrina hit. Now leaders of the party are mocking the people there who suffered 3 years ago and are likely to suffer again. What a loser!

The poll I saw on CNN had it at 0bama 49%, McCain 41%. And that is a national poll. If you look at the state-by-state polls, you will find Obama winning a number of swing states and competitive in a few “red” states. Objective analysts are predicting an “electoral landslide” for Obama.

Not only that but Jenny sez you can view Rev. Wright’s National Press conference when he comes out and says that blacks and whites are completely different in their learning process.
uh, that is RACIST.

Dave, that was before today. The new poll says no bounce.

I think they’re doing a better job this time. God bless you, Carolyn. I’m praying for all of you down there. Take care.

well saints preserve us? point match.

Any intelligent person knows that hurricanes happen every year these acts of God are not due to some sort of biblical vengeance.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a democrat or republican, this is a time to be concerned for your fellow Americans in the Gulf Coast region. Put aside your petty differences for half a second and pray that everyone is safe.
Which of you will volunteer to help once the storm has passed? Will you care who’s standing next to you as you hand out food and water to the victims of the storm? Will your pending vote matter as you rebuild a home washed away in the flood?
Grow up people! We’re either Americans together or America isn’t worth saving.

So the guy has a tape recorder and it’s HIS fault the Democrat talks like a liberal?

Will the Republicans continue to deny the reality of global warming after Gustav hit New Orleans on the anniversary of Katrina? And if they finally do acknowledge global warming, won’t they say it was due to a “sign” from the evangelical God of the religious right?

>>>Therefore the onus is on YOU to PROVE YOUR CLAIM. So, please prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Rev. Wright is a racist.<<<
Jenny, you're making stuff up and you don't know who bears what burden. Even at a criminal trial, the burden is only beyond a reasonable doubt, not beyond a shadow of a doubt. And to convince someone else to vote for X instead of Y, one need only prove that X is more (or Y is less) qualified by a preponderance of the evidence–i.e., 50.0000000001%, not beyond any kind of doubt.

John: “The Republican leadership left katrina victims to die. . .”
Really? Because last I heard, BLANCO and NAGIN are both DEMOCRATS! Feds are not ALLOWED to step in until the Governor requests help. Blanco REFUSED to let the Feds assist until things got ugly. So go ahead and keep blaming Republicans, but the truth is that Democrat “leadership” is what failed those people.
Your lies are becoming old and lame.

Callous, mean-spirited, competitive political cynicism!
- Typical.
Disingenuous and self-serving dissembling once exposed.
- Typical.
If this is “news” to you then you need to wake up people.
The level of stupid arrogance in politics (and the mainstream media) today is astounding and is inversely proportional to their wisdom, knowledge, integrity and leadership.
Rather than taking away our precious vote, we have been conveniently denied options. Same result. Stop voting for the “lesser of two evils.”
Comrades, stop being good party members! Stop being “sheeple.”
If you think either party or candidate will “change” anything then YOU are part of the problem. You merely contribute to a perceived “mandate” for the winner and his idiotic and shallow “something for nothing” platform.
Democrat? Republican?
Chevy? Ford?
Are all questions, issues we face today so simple that we can limit the “debate” among only two equally corrupt, self-serving, fully paid-for, politicized parties? Do you really think either will step forward with solutions that damage the money interests behind them?
We serve the government now. It does NOT serve us. Has anyone bothered to read the constitution recently and try to understand its wisdom?
And yet, the government still seek MORE power to probe, regulate, tax, and CONTROL our lives – merely to protect themselves, their position, the status quo and their profit – all at our expense.
Only when the people of this country fully realize the extent to which they have lost CONTROL of their growing (costly, ineffectual, “something for nothing”) government and realize the frightening extent to which they have allowed government to control them, will we have taken our FIRST step toward “changing” anything.
Listen carefully to our candidates. When they propose or promise something ask yourselves, “Who pays?” It will most likely be YOU.
Ask, “Who benefits?” It will most likely be the politician and a dependent constituency willing to exchange their vote for a “free” handout.
Abolish the “career politician.”
Seriously downsize and outsource government for a change. Let them taste economic hardship. Too many people are in the wagon and too few are pulling nowadays.
Mandate the clear public display of all political contributions to all candidates and all office holders. Identify the source for all but the smallest of contributions. Let everyone see who works for whom!
Pass a constitutional amendment guaranteeing a free and unfettered Internet – free of all government control, regulation, taxation. People, this is our last and only source of unfiltered information. Congress has already targeted it more than once. It threatens them. We must constitutionally enshrine the Internet as a public “safe zone” FREE of government meddling and control.
Good luck to all of us.

Maybe Obama can now agree with his good friend Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who said, “Not God Bless America, but God Damn America.”
Obama and the Rev. must be chuckling at the hurrican hitting the US. And what are the candidates doing? Obama and Biden are campaigning, while McCain and Palin are helping people.
Democrats want Democrats first, Republicans want Americans first.
It is simple as that.

Regardless of what was said, and the fact that all of us can be accused of ill-judged humour or spoofing in what is a very serious situation….. I find it outrageous that no one seems concerned that this is private conversation. In almost all imaginable circumstances, it is illegal to record private conversations to which one is not a party. Even if you are taking part in the conversation, you still often have to have the other party’s consent — depending on the state. This is one of the caveats of Investigative Journalism, a dying profession.

I am shocked he didn’t ask “What IS an appology?” Obviously, he doesn’t know what one consists of. Perhaps he should get off the Dem platform of typical double standards and look at what he has insisted Republicans say in their appologies. Then he would have a clue as to how to do it “properly.” In any event, Obama = pro death of those who have no choice (fetus’), McCain = pro death of those who have a choice (soldiers). Which is worse? Well, I know how many of which died last year. Ergo, my vote is for the lesser of two evils.

Oooow! The Katrina stories, real “heart string pullers” are starting to play on CNN, FOX, ABC, CBS, NBC and other TV networks….
SO MUCH BAD PUBLICITY FOR THE REPUBLICANS!!
Oh well, if I remember right they prayed for rain on Obama, right?
Bye, bye McBush!!! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!
Vote for real leaders that will DEFEND US, and not “poser leaders” that steal money from us and cause Banks and S&L’s to fail (no matter which one dies)!!!
Vote Barack Obama / Joe Biden 2008!!!

seems to me, when that guy intercepted newt gingrich on his cell phone and published it, causing newt to leave congress, he was considered a great patriot, now someone on the other side does basically the same thing and is instead a nutcase??

Isn’t that just like the dems? Blame it on the guy who taped this idiot while he was saying it. Whatever happened to personal responsibility? The commment is the poorest of taste and obviously Fowler has no class whatsoever.

Liberal revisionist history is fun. They always whine about how the White House left people to die in New Orleans during Katrina. For those who get information only from the mainstream media, there is a chain of command and Bush offered help to the then Dem Governor who said, no thanks. The mayor also turned down help. Later to cover their butts they blamed the Feds.
Bush however, did blow by not slapping the governor aside and taking control but alas, the Dems would have whined about that also.
This time they seem better prepared. I hope both Dem and Rep voters in the storm path will be alright. We can argue politics later when the storm has passed.

“One doesn’t anticipate that one’s private conversation will be surreptitiously taped by some right-wing nutcase,” said Fowler. “But that’s the nature of what we’re dealing with.”
pffft. What an idiot. He probably had the recording made himself just to grab limelight for the idiot liberal mob who also apologise as a natural reflex.. then go right back to shooting themselves in the foot.
I know.. Idiot Liberal is redundant. They need redundancies like his to get any point. Helps if you speak sloooowly too.

Let’s all call for more debates just like the forms from Saddlebrook, 1 a week hosted by who/what=ever groub can put it together. That was informable, not this BS crap, cheapshots are just that. CHEAPSHOTS

For those comparing Dobson’s ridicous comments about rain at Big Top Obama on thursday and the joy at a hurricane hitting a city that lost 1600 people after federal, state, and local governments failed run by both Democrats and Republicans shows a level stupidity beyond comparsion. Possilibly postponing Sherl Crow’s feeble attempt to sign or-dare I say it-The Great Obama speak fiction is very different from watching an American city trashed so McCain can sell promises he won’t keep. Here is reality, all the fireworks, the pretend white house, and Ophra losing her eyelashes, the race is basically a tie in the latest polls. I guess God has a strange sense of humor or it doesn’t give a dam about Democrats or Republicans.

Nothing to apoligize about! It amazing how sensitive the Republians are! McCain McSame has politisize this Hurricane and again gets a pass by the American Corporate Media Cartel! How conveniate about the striping down the Republican Convention because McCain knew it was going to be embarrasingly abad show! Republicans are losers in 2008!

Wasn’t this the weekend a couple hundred thousand mo’s were having a big party? Maybe they should stop doing that……hmmmm

As far as those people who claim Fowler deserves an apology because he was recorded, you might want to think back to the story of two Democrat operatives illegally intercepting a cell phone call blah blah blah
==========================
I have a one word answer to this ridiculous chatter:
WATERGATE
You guys have a conveniently short memory don’t you?
=========================
Watergate had nothing to do with the recording of a political figure. What I posted regarding Newt Gingrich was not only relevant, but was within the past 10-15 years. If you’re going to use an analogy, at least make sure it fits.
And while we’re on the subject, Marcel, why are you so quick to demean people who disagree with you?

The comments from Fowler and Michael Moore just remind America how pompous and mean-spirited Democrats are on a daily basis. Their hate is beyond comprehension for regular, caring citizens in this country. Sad, sad state of the Democratic party.

Watergate had nothing to do with the recording of a political figure.
=======================
Okay try the Pentagon Papers. No matter how much you dodge and weave, you can’t deny that the Republican Party has a charming history of intruding into the private affairs of others for political advantage and would be black mail . You’re KNOWN for it!!!
=================================
The Pentagon Papers still isn’t a good analogy because it had more to do with the privacy of the government than of an individual. What I brought up was an invasion of privacy of an individual (granted, a government employee, but still an individual).
Strike two, Marcel.

I would rather be associated with the far right than little hand wringing far lefties who try to find anything they can use to say “see, see the mean republicans are picking on us”.

The chickens have come home to roost for the dems.

“But that’s the nature of what we’re dealing with.”
Unfortunately, you’re the nature of what we’re dealing with, Mr. Fowler.

Yes, but what are the Russians doing to Georgia today??

Hmmm…no mention of the conversation that caught the videographer’s attention in the first place? I didn’t hear him apologize for his sexist comments about Sarah Palin which weren’t caught on tape. Ladies of the left – you are going to need the guns of the right to obliterate that glass ceiling.

Does not sound like an apology to me. When you apologize you admit you are wrong and ask those offended for forgiveness. Fowler apologized and in the same breath began to justify his actions by claiming they were in response to a past wrong committed by someone else years ago. I guess there will be some who make light of others misfortune. Sounds like Fowler needs a maturity check!!!

Thomas – And if you really want to be honest, both major parties have been listening in on us for years. Don’t just blame Republicans because it’s convenient.
There is no difference between the parties. Both are controlled, both have the same goal. I do not subscribe to the false left – right WWF wrestling matches that go on every election season. It’s not Left VS Right it’s the STATE VS YOU That is a given!

At some point, I would think that Americans would wake up to the hatred and utter meanness that seeps from the democratic party. This is not about an election – it is about despising Bush and anything republican. Spare me the apology. Put it on the big screen, along with Michael Moore’s ugly mug and his hate filled words and play it for the entire world to see. Change? For the people? It’s called hatred. Pure and simple.

There is no reason for Fowler to apologize for a remark he surely meant.

A killer hurricane is coming and the Democrats are happy.
The Democrat mantra:
What is bad for America is good for the Democrats.

Two weeks ago I was had no enthusiasm for the election. As a registered Republican, last Friday I was so delighted with Sarah Palin. You go girl! I was not the only one. My Democrat friends who did not see much hope in Barack Hussein Obama were all solemn but relieved that they now have a choice in McCain-Palin. Moore, Fowler and other Democrats who are thinking the same thing are diabolical. However, as goodness is always rewarded, it seems that with the round-the-clock coverage of the typhoon, so does the mention of McCain and Palin. It is playing positively for McCain who is demonstrating genuine leadership at this time. he is getting more coverage and the liberal news media have toned down their pittbull attacks on the Republicans and showing McCain making the right decisions. There is a God, but God is non-partisan. God gave Obama a rock concert last week, this week God gave McCain a chance to show once and for all he is the right choice and it seems local governments have learned their lessons and lives will be saved.

here is what I see from reading all of these comments. Conservatives = shock at a tasteless comment.
Liberals = vile and hateful attacks on anyone that disagrees with them. Typical from the “party of tolerance”
It’s really sad

Wow since when did a conversation on a crowded airplane become private. I’d suspect he got caught at being a doofous and this was his easy way out. Whine whine whine, more of the same from someone caught being stoopid. Never an owning up to, “I wuz wrong and shoulda shutup” ah well, tis the way of life for his ilk.

Oh and by the way my dears, here’s a clue about how I kicked your asses in debate on this board tonight. Pssssssssst! Are you listening?
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!
OBAMA 2008!!!
Gooooood Niiiiiiight!

Why can’t a Democrat every apologize for a stupid comment without pointing the finger at someone else. Come on guys – grow up – say I’m sorry, I was wrong and move on. Pointing the finger at the recorder or at Falwell is what I expect out kids. Perhaps that explains everything.

Typical Lib Dem: Blame the guy who recorded his outrageous insensitive comment. Loser. Hypocrite. As Obama would say “typical white guy”.

I think that elected officials need to remember that they are being watched. If they want to have a “private conversation” they should take a private plane! Quit crying because you got caught saying something that you shouldn’t have.

thomas—i am not claiming to be good. i am fighting a war to save the nation our founding fathers made,but at every turn i am faceing the republicans and there false flag waving..we can no longer let the republicans take away thsi nation from us,we must keep up teh democratic fight for what our founding fathers built. we have to stop the republicans from destroying this nation any further.

Ask the leadership of the House a few years ago how they feel about the left-handed whack job who illegally recorded their cell phone conversation …. hmMM?? Oh wait, that might lead to actual balanced reportage, and the drive bys don’t want to run over their own feet. ~McPalin ’08

Why have we become a culture of excusing our mistakes by blaming it on some other person’s actions? A supposed man of stature, I would expect him to take responsibility for his own actions alone! Perhaps I no longer belong in the Democrat party…

Robert–Both parties should be for separation of church and state because it just means that the church does not control the state–no establishment of a particular religion. Our country was in part founded on this principle because of the persecution many christians had experienced from other christians in their home countries!

If you believe this is a single indcident then you need to get the transcript from yesterday’s (Sunday) CSPAN call in show. Several Democratic callers made the same awful comment. There are more Michael MOore’s amoung us than one would believe. Democrats want me to believe they care about our fellow mand and then say horrible things like this. It shows their true colors. Where is the outrage from Obama? I have not seen that yet.

Just like I figured. A democrat says something stupid. He then blames a “right winger”. Then the media covers it up and makes excuses for them. Don Fowler and Michael Moore looked way to happy at the mere thought of a major hurricane hitting New Orleans.

Change, Change, Change. That is all I hear. Well I can’t afford anymore change. If you remember two years ago we got change, The democrats took control of the House and the Senate. Since that time my house has CHANGED from being worth something to now less than what I paid. and gas CHANGED from $1.75 to $4.00 a gallon. The good news is that after millions of dollars the democratic congress found out athletes take steroids. Next month I heard congress is going to finally discover why the chicken crossed the road. Sorry two years ago I voted democrate hoping for change, at least they were honest I got change it was just more than I could afford.

The funny thing is that if this hit last week the religious nuts would be crying divine justice…Who’s in charge? God or Evangelicals?

Typical Democrat…They’re getting VERY desperate to distract attention from the fact that Palin is more qualified as an executive than Hussein Obama and Biden combined. These two empty suits have never RUN anything!!!

Nicely said, Patrick

arthur— and when a republican says something stupid they say we democrats should get a sense of humor..you know like when mccain said his wife should enter teh wet t-shirt concert at sturgis,i thought it was sickening but republicans said we democrat should litten up it was a joke.

How you speak in your private conversations is who you are.
Fowler is foul.

What scourge? Me and my husband got raises this year, things are looking great! George Bush has kept you and yours safe from another terrorist attack on US soil for 7 years, and you show no gratitude for that? Sad.
Why don’t you sacrifice for your country like John McCain has? Voting for empty suit Obama will do nothing to help America. Someone will have to pay for all his intended social programs, and that someone is going to be you.

1) I am a libertarian/independent, so I have no dog in the Left/Right debate.
2) I am sitting here in my boarded up house, watching the rain and wind (No Mandatory Evac here)
3) Mr. Fowler’s comments are unacceptable. When a high ranking party official laughs gleefully at the trials we are facing, the only acceptable recourse is to kick that American hating person OUT of whatever American party they represent.
4) Failing expulsion in 3), anyone who cares at all about their fellow citizens should NEVER vote for said party until the hateful offender IS expelled.
5) Therefore, please inform Sen. Obama that he has just lost a lot of votes here on the gulf coast. I know we in fly over country are laughed at and only matter during elections. But remember, Florida is also a gulf coast state.
6) Thanks for your kind reception, and have a better day than we are having.

Typical Democrats – only interested in getting themselves into power.
Democrats don’t care about anyone – it’s all about them.

He was not laughing at the GOP he was laughing at the American lives and property put in harms way, Funny considering that New Orleans inner city is mostly Democratic. The Obama Democrats whole change motto is satire

No Tom, we’re not rich, I’m a nurse and my husband is an engineer. We work hard and contribute to America through our taxes and a son in the military. We love our country, something I know few Democrats do – they just love POWER and are desperate because they so rarely win the White House they will scheme and lie and do whatever they can to win it.
Of course there are areas of the country which are changing in the computer age – computers are doing more jobs that man used to do. But there are always these kinds of changes going on, and sometimes they are temporarily difficult but they bounce back IF America doesn’t see socialism or communism as a “fix” which only encourages laziness and a hand out mentality.
Retrain yourself or go back to school and get a technical degree in a high paying field and CHANGE YOURSELF FOR THE BETTER. If you wait for government to improve your life you will NEVER get ahead.

Are remarks like Mr Fowler’s what the Obama campaign have referred to as “our nature’s better angels”? Or is this what Mrs Obama meant when she said American was a mean country?

I am from La. and now live in TX. Moving after Katrina destroyed my home. I had insurance. I didn’t rely on the Government. I worked in emergency response for private industry during Katrina. I was at the La. command center during Katrina. The state and city of N.O. had plans but did not put them into play. They never practiced the plans. Blanco and Nagin could not make decisions. Bush was not to blame. He offered help. According to law the Federal government only comes in when the state asks for help.

Wes, what’s really sad is that there are probably some self-deluded people who actually think that if they elect Obama that will bring any factories back. How pathetic. It’s the American people who make an economy tick, not a politician.

“I don’t believe in a God that’s vengeful,” Fowler said. “I believe in a God that’s compassionate.”
Judging by his comment above, Fowler obviously doesn’t believe in the God of the Bible who makes it clear that He is The Avenger.
Rom 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. (KJV). Also see Deuteronomy 32:35
Fowler’s comments illustrate the Democratic Party’s dismissal of God by spinning our Fathers Word to accommodate their own corrupted beliefs. Of course if I believed in the same “values” as his party does, I wouldn’t want to believe in His vengeance either.

How despicable and inexcusable. No one should be making jokes of any kind regarding natural disasters.

jill– you are a nurse your hubby is and engineer.. ibet ech of you make more then my wife and i do together. i work 60 hours a week my wife works 50 hours a week. and mkae under 50,000 total together.

You don’t say what you and your wife do for a living, I did. If you are in a low paying job then do something to help yourself become more viable in the workforce. The only person limiting yourself is YOU, not George Bush.

jill i work in a factory, my wife use to but it closed now she works at wal-mart. and guess what there are no other jobs available. and i cant afford to move were there is if there is anywere. i am getting sick of republicans saying well get a different job or go to college well i am 40 years old i cant go back to school and i cant afford to move to where there is better work. because there isnt any good paying jobs for us working class anymore.

McCain’s real reason for picking Palin is to counter Obama’s claim that he would be a new kind of politician and bring “change” to DC It is a manner of record that Obama did nothing to stand up against the corrupt political machine in Chicago. In fact, just the opposite, Obama was a member in good standing of the corrupt political machine in Chicago, ie,Obama’s good buddy the convicted felon Rezco. In contrast, Palin has a track record of standing up against corruption in Alaska, even going after members of the good old boy machine in her own party.
In addition, the Dems are trying to make the case that given Palin’s thin resume would you trust Palin to be the President should anything happen to McCain can easily be countered with would you trust Obama to be the President given Obama’s even thinner resume.

Debra, welcome to the Republican party. The party that isn’t hateful. It is ok to be a Hillary supporter and vote for McCain/Palin. The Republicans, unlike the Dems will take on their own party if things are wrong (Palin). That is not what you get out of the Democrate party. Oh, and by the way, TXMOM needs to take a deep breath and relax.

jill and wes—- i am not smart enough to go to school i am a big enough man to say i dont have what it takes to go to college. and guess what not all and infact i bet 60% of americans cant. but just because i am not a smart man does that make me less then you and taht i have to suffer and not make enough to live good.

We all know he was just joking because DEMS do not believe in god. Now that is newsworthy!
Separation of church and state and all.

the real patriot—–you do raelize there are alot of people taht arent smart enough to do college right? i barely wa sable to graduate highschool i did with a d average. i dont have the smarts for college. but i ahve common sense and i am willing to work very very hard but that doesnt do it anymore. what will happen to those of us that are getting left behind. we will just one day starve.

listen folks, do you see anything an the msm about ANY issues that effect the lives of everyday americans like our soldiers suicides, the anthrax case (ivans was a zionist champion ergo note supposedly sent by muslims) bldg # 7 (first one in history downed by fire). telecom immunity deals, talking heads who stood to gain by war as “experts” selling the iraq war, the white house orchestrated “white paper (a suppossed letter that turned up to show that mohammed atta was trained by saddam hussein) the patriot act that is now being used against americans in minneapolis-st. paul. Connot you people see that both our parties are bought and paid for by special interest groups(aipac being one of the most powerful)and that we as tax paying citizens have virtually nothing to say or ANY control over why and how america’s policies (especially foreign) are being conducted? They are here folks, in positions of power that would amaze the average tv watching american in a way that would scare one into some kind of positive action to get our country back. the time is at hand friends

tom, Starve, you must be kidding. There are plenty of welfare programs that address the basic needs of the truly needy who are incapable of holding down a job for physical or mental reasons. If you fall into one of those categories, stop worrying and be happy, you will not starve.

This just proves (again) that, like they do with our troops in IRAQ, the Dimocrats pray for LOTS OF DEATHS, hoping that the Dimocrats will get a few votes out of it.

Constitution Article 1
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
There is NO separation of church and state in the constitution. Article one states that there shall be no state SPONSORED, religion. You are free to have your own religion.

dan— i dont want any hand out i want to work my job i have but i would like to maek enough to do more then just servive. but the odl american dream is dead. now you must be collge smart or you will be poor. as our schools continue to be funded less and less by the republicans there will continue to be more and more undereducated people…just what the rich want to dumb down america so they will have mindless slaves.

Tom, I wonder if you are for real. You claim you are not smart. Just a hard worker. What kind of internet connection do you have? How are you accessing the internet? This shows some sign of intelligence. If you can’t get a college education get some practical training in a skill. Mechanical training or plumbing, anything. Forty is not old. You may live to be 100 if you take care of yourself. Do something for yourself. Mechanics make thousands a month working on late model cars. You can always find a job if you are trained in a skill. I have been around the world to other countries. There are billions of people willing to work for less manufacturing things everyone needs. There is a global economy. That is why unskilled labor is getting less money. You are competing with people who work for less. Move on to something that pays more. In the coming years there will be a growing number of people in the U.S. and other western countries who make less money because of the leveling of the playing field by the third world countries coming into the global economy. Make the move to better yourself now before it gets worse. The Lord helps those who help themselves is a truth.

Tom,
Yes, I DO understand that schooling is difficult for some, but there is more to life and being successful than “book smart.” If you are, as you say, a hard worker, and you have a good attitude, there will always be options. I’m not saying it’s easy, nothing that’s worthwhile is easy, and I don’t mean to throw platitudes at you. I don’t claim to have the answer, but I can assure you that no help is coming from anyone, anywhere, who is a Democrat in power. Keep your eyes and ears open and if you take advantage of every opportunity to improve yourself, it will happen. If nothing else, your self-esteem will increase. Get some help and encouragement from those who care about others, without an agenda, such as the local church, or other groups that are about helping others in need. I understand how easy it is to be down and depressed about a situation you feel is out of your control. Life sucks sometimes. Accept it and dream bigger dreams, then do what you can to accomplish something that matters. End of sermon. I wish you well.

Yes Obama, save us, save us all from ourselves. We are but worms in the mud. You, dear sweet Obama are our only hope, our our salvation. YES WE CAN!

TOM> You have a computer, internet access, a home, probably a car or two, a TV or more than one, cable, any toys? Hobbies? My suggestion is to turn off your TV, sell them sell your computer, sell your house, start going to the library, looking into vocational courses that your community college offers. Welding, cooking, mechanics, plumbing. Its a community college because they have resources to help those like you in your community. The ONLY thing holding you back is YOU.
I am trying to say this as nicely as I can. “Quit whining and DO something!”

I find it totally unbelieveable that the comments of a person who thought he was talking privately to another is held up as worse than Stuart Shepard very public calling for a weather disruption. No Democrat called for a storm to scatter the twins meeting in the Twin Cities. The irony of the timing of this major weather event is huge.
To remind you, Dobson’s Focus on the Family member, Stuart Shepard asks Christians to pray for rain on Aug. 28, when Obama is scheduled to give an outdoor address at Denver’s Mile High Stadium during the Democratic National Convention.
Shepard calls for “abundant rain, torrential rain … flood-advisory rain.” He adds, “I’m talking about umbrella-ain’t-gonna-help-you rain … swamp-the-intersections rain.”
GOPpers, your homophobic, gutter politics (beyond Shepard, see showboat Sep 1, 2008 1:53:35 AM) shows how desperate and immoral you really are.
Palin is a former ceremonial mayor with 21 months of being the governor of a state with fewer people than in the whole city of Detroit. The opportunity for exposure to complex questions on a national level was and is quite small.
Palin is a woman who believes in no abortion even in the case of rape of a child, that Creationism (a religious belief) should be taught in schools, and that all birth control methods except the rhythm method should be outlawed.
Palin’s experience is without relevance to the nation’s domestic and international challenges – she was not even intellectually curious enough to research and develop ideas about our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
McCain has put politics ahead of country with this selection, and show be roundly rejected.
Obama/Biden ’08

I think all of this talk about God being on someone’s side is backward. He was here first and established His side. We need to be on His side and I can see so many base policies of Democrats that blatantly contradict how God says things should be, so how could He be on their side?
How is it punishing the GOP for a hurricane to hit a city largely consisting of Democrats several hundred miles from where the convention was to take place? It shows the Democrats are ever willing to damage or destroy their followers to gain any kind of political advantage, which is sick. If anyone thinks the press coverage would have been even slightly objective toward them and the convention, they are light-years from reality. The attacks are already in place. Now they have to show how different the response is now that some Republicans are in the lower parts of the chain of command where most of the decisions need to be made. That can only remind us of how the response was blown when there were only Democrats in the positions that produced those horrible outcomes in 2005. NO survived the hurricane it self, but the levies that were neglected by the local Democrat ‘leadership’ caused the enormous damage when they failed and unleashed the huge amounts of water. It is also sad that the truth has to be retold so often, but the local Democrat politicians are the ones who hold the blame for failing their constituents, not those half-way across the country. Can you imagine how different it would have been had the levies been properly maintained before the hurricane hit? But apparently the corruption and laziness down there was more important to local politicians than citizens lives.
The lack of thought on the side of Democrats is so sad. They just blindly follow those who claim to have their interests at heart, but have never really solved any problems for a few generations now. It looks as if Dems only want to be able to complain about problems rather than actually fix any of them.

and never forget… Obama loves your adoration, he covets your admiration. Put him high up on the pedestal where
he rightly belongs. He is everything. We are nothing.

It it truly sad to think that there ARE people out there that think that God would play political sides with lives. Those of you who feel or think that God is on anyones side is just flat out SICK. I have and will continue you to pray to God for those souls who are affected by this storm.

REALDCC;Must have got that fudge packed a little too tight on Sunday????? Mean-spirited!!!

Instead of Don Fowler and Michael Moore speculating that God has create Hurricane Gustav to foil the GOP convention why don’t they simply ask Barrack Obama Himself why he’s created Gustav and more importantly why is he destroying New Orleans.

Anyone, who would laugh about a political advantage coming from a hurricane (Democratic or Republican) is a sick freak. Even praying for torrential rain, to gain political advantage, is pretty distasteful.
This guy should apologize sincerely, and not try to mitigate his own guilt, by condemning he guy, who filmed him.

The problem with education has nothing to do with underfunding, at least here in California. The funding always increases, and if it increases less than anticipated by the hogs at the trough, they call it a cut.
The most successful students as a group are home-schoolers, and Democrats with the teachers unions are trying very hard to put an end to that. It’s not enough to prevent students in failing districts from getting a better education elsewhere, but now they want to attack the best students in the state in the belief that their parents are thwarting government indoctrination.

Now, now folks Sprat and Fowler knew exactly what they were doing and knew it would get out. Heck, the one doing the recording may have been their operative.
The result has fired the McCain base, push fence sitters into his camp and given pause to others supporting BO.
Then the “apology” attacks the dead evangelical, Falwell, and further ignites the McCain Base.
Is this a Clinton Loyalist strategy to defeat BO with a subtle form of “swift boating” from inside the Democrat Party and clear the way for Hillary in 2012?

Everyone demands the first amendment but seems to be offeded by the slightest thing others say. We are becoming a nation of politially correct adicted people who uses political correctness as a weapon. STOP ALREADY! The guy made a poor joke but that is not a crime. Everyone hits a dumb note every once in a while. I am a strong republican and an even stronger American. Lets save the indignation for real thoughts of hate. Lord knows there is enough out there that are against Americans both Democrat & Republican. Lets use something that has become uncommon, that is common sense.

Nutcase? Fowler, the word was invented to describe lefties like you. You need a brain transplant. Any dog has more intelligence than you. The words came out of your mouth not out of the recording device.

Obama should come clean about his long term ties to Rezco, (Obama’s buddy and campaign contributer, a convicted felon), and Ayers, Obama “just a guy in my neighborhood” (an unrepentant domestic terrorist) who Obama served with as chair of the failed Annenberg challenge back in 1995 for five years. To date no one knows whose pocket the 110 million dollars went into.

How can anyone not know that the minute they walk out of their front door they are on camera from cellphone to the street lamp to the satelites – and yes, some record sound. Get with the program, Fowler. Dumb comment from a really dumb person.

Tom,
If you exist, get a better job, and stop whining! But are you sure you are not just some pretend “stereotypical” working stiff, created here by some staff person for the purpose of posting “woe is me” comments, a convenient distraction intended to get us off the topic?
This post is about a venal and vengeful Democrat party official — former Chairman of the party — named Don Fowler, and his seat-sharing buddy and sidekick, Congressman John Spratt, of South Carolina.
Gee, I wonder how the folks in the 5th Congressional District, the one that Spratt represents, feel about him whooping it up, and laughing about the tragic consequences of the natural disaster that was about to hit our fellow citizens along the Gulf Coast of the United States? All because they thought would affect politics! Have a few more chuckles, John, and Don!
Where is John Spratt’s apology in all of this? Or, is old B’rer Spratt layin’ low and trying to ride this one out? Spratt’s District is the northern rural 5th district of South Carolina, surrounding the capital of Columbia on the north, and representing all, or a portion of 14 counties, much of it along the border of North Carolina. Bennetsville, Hartsville, Lancaster, Rock Hill, Gaffney and Newberry are the big towns.
Where is John Spratt’s apology for laughing and joking in all of this? Maybe he ought to hear from some of his constituents!

The heck he’s sorry! He’s sorry he got caught!

I love reading all this and seeing how Democrats can’t even address intelligent conversation. They can’t think of anything better than calling McCain names. Toooo funny. Or sad. One more reason to vote for McCain – they can’t mount a better argument than “Bush is bad” against McCain. And then call him a name. Toooo funny indeed. Try less name-calling and more issues. As far as “Bush-bashing” is concerned: We ALL get it, you hate the man blindly.
ps. the worst name people have called Obama? Hussein? OH! MY! He was called by his middle name! EGADS!
Obama = communist/socialist
McCain = federalist
And that is the bottom line…

Duplicitous Dems speak false words of “hope” and “change”, but all of the “behind the curtains” evidence (from Bill, Hillary, Dean, Reid, Pelosi, Obama, etc.) clearly reveal that their sole goal and focus is a blood thirsty obsession for power. They don’t care if the poor black people of Louisiana die or lose everything, if it disrupts the Repubs or if they can cast an angle of guilt on them and Bush, then “everything is cool!”
The main stream media (other than ABC) is once again covering for these charlatans. Run these ba$tards out of office.

So Fowler is upset that some ‘right wing nut case’ recorded his conversation on a plane. I bet he wasn’t upset that some ‘left wing nut case’ recorded Sen. Allen’s macaca remark. Depends whose ox is being gored, I guess. And that insincere apology was so bad, it will go down in the ‘i didn’t have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky’ hall of shame.

Some years ago a couple picked up a cell phone conversation between gingrich and somebody – and the couple almost became national heroes for publicizing a private phone conversation – now this passenger is a ‘right wing nut’?

This just proves what type of SCUMBAG MENTALITY lies at the core of the so called Democratic party. The liberal core of the Democrats is not the same party of JFK, Harry S Truman or FDR. They have morphed into this hate America first, promote racial and social divisions amongst the people by handing out money in the form of welfare to perpetuate an ever growing underprivilged class of citizens depended on the Democrats. This all came about as the result of LBJ’s Great Society movement of 1965 and the Immigration Reform Act of 1965, thanks Ted Kenndey. As for illegal wars, lets not forget that JFK increased the number of military advisors in Vietnam from 500 in 1961 to 16500 in October 1963 and that LBJ staged the Gulf of Tonkin Incident in August of 1965. Wake up America this group of Democrats are not the Democorats of yesteryaer who were the party of the working class and haven’t been since 11/22/63.

Fowler blaming a “right-wing nutcase” for recording Fowler’s own words is like people blaming Abraham Zapruder for the assasination of JFK…

Not surpised that a Republican would video tape and record you secretly on
an airplane. Been doing it to us with
NSA for 8 years. Republican = Nuts

Unapologetic Apologies
Posted on Townhall by realetybytes on Tuesday, June 03, 2008 5:01:44 PM
This is for all the politicians, and anyone else who needs, for some reason, to apologize. It takes two words. “I’m sorry”. or “I apologize”. If you say anything else, like, “if anyone was offended”, or “but I feel”, it means you are blaming everyone that was offended for being too stupid to agree with you. You are either sorry, or your not. If you can’t lie to us in two words, don’t bother.

I wonder! Could a “left wing nutcase” have recorded that conversation and sent it to a right wing site just for fun? Typical Democrat, deride those whom you don’t understand!Berate and criticize those you oppose!You guys are right, it is definately time for a Change!

Paraphrasing the dems: “Sorry _if_ anyone happened to be offended, and while I don’t really think anyone should be prevented from taping such conversation, I think what I said was not important at all, and that the person doing the recording was a rightwing nutcase.”
Creeps.

This is for Bob Clark. If a Democrat did the same type of thing to a Republican it would be a news worthy item and pasted all over the media. But because one of your hate mongering lying decietful politicians got caught its Republican = Nuts. There is a Constetutional Ammendment in this country that protects freedom of speach for ALL, not just the beautiful people (ie. Liberal Democrats who believe that they have been chosen by God (many of whom don’t believe in god but chastise the rest of for believing) as the chosen people). Too bad your hate preaching boy was caught on tape, it just shows where your party’s ideoligy are and how full of themselves they really are.

Typical Democrat! Whatever is bad for America is good for the democrats. A shameful group.

“…One doesn’t anticipate that one’s private conversation will be surreptitiously taped by some right-wing nutcase…”
Mr. Fowler is correct. One is much more likely to have one’s private conversations taped by a left-wing nutcase.
/fixed

Falwell wasn’t the chairman or even ex-chairman of the RNC. So, the analogy to Falwell here is a poor attempt by sad-sack Fowler at trying to make a moral equivalency. Since it’s not a valid analogy, it does not deflect what he has done wrong here.

Rep. John Spratt, (D 5th, SC) hasn’t apologized yet. Fowler did issue his meaningless, “if this, then that” apology.
So maybe Spratt needs help? Doesn’t know what to say?
He obviously needs some assistance.
So, here is a first draft for him — written in the kind of weasel words that typify his ilk:
(Beginning of statement) “If anyone was at all offended by the false impression that I was chuckling and snorting at what I have sadly since been informed, was a tasteless and obnoxious joke made by a man, one Don Fowler, who just happened to be sitting next to me on an airplane the other day, then I sincerely apologize. The fact is that I was reading a comic book at the time, and that was what was making me laugh, but ONLY in a good-hearted and humane way! I did not have conversation with that man, Don Fowler! (Wagging finger) And I did not hear what he said, or I would have immediately demanded a new seat! I barely know the man! He was the party Chairman when I was 8 years old! If it were not for the fact that we were on an airplane at the time, I would have thrown him under the bus!” (End of statement)

Wonder what the 2 patches on his left hand were for. His methadone shot and clap that he picked up at the sex convention?

DemocRAT party the countrys largest hate group. DemocRats ugly, smelly low intellect , creeps.

“One doesn’t anticipate that one’s private conversation will be surreptitiously taped by some right-wing nutcase,” said Fowler.
Ummmm, Don. You made the comment on an airline – a mode of PUBLIC transportation. You had no expectation of privacy. Just like the American people have no expectation of decency from the members of the Democrat Party — particularly a past chairman of that anti-American organization.

i’m tired of politicians who are gleeful when something bad happens to america and use it as gain for their own party. when we have a hurricane or whether things are going bad for the u.s. in iraq it is not time to celebrate because this will help your party win a presidential election. what is bad for america is bad for americans. i’m tired of people calling presidents and other politicians hitler, darth vader or other names. both parties are guilty of these things but the democrats have been especially ruthless. talk radio broadcasters are to blame as well, as are many of the bloggers who make hateful and malicious comments. come on america you can do better and you deserve better.

I wonder if Mr. Fowler has any comments on the taping of Newt Gingrich’s cell phone conversation back in the Nineties, which Jim McDermont (D WA ) later leaked to the NY Times. Do you suppose that also was the work of some kind of wing nut?

So typical of Democrats always blaming someone else for their ignorance. Who cares that somebody caught it on tape? This moron shouldn’t have said it anyway. If it wasn’t for people who tape – video or otherwise we wouldn’t find out how brainless and corrupt these individuals are.
Will you people wake up and smell the coffee it is these same Dimocrat and Republicrap professional politicians that have screwed up this country? They have been promising the same things every election year since Hubert Humphrey. Get a clue people. Vote for the person not the party.

JDW, to the democrat party, and their well paid, multi-millionaire media lackeys, if you’re happy and content with your life, you’re evil and selfish … a Republican.

Guy was actually right, even if it is for all the wrong reasons. This might have been a message from god to stop the obnoxious display of decadence which is way too prominent with both parties these days.
Democrats could have accomplished so much of what they preach by investing the money spent on their ridiculous convention doing one of the things they “believe in”. How many kids could receive a health care, education, better housing…or FOOD if that money was used for good. Obama’s brother could have lived for the rest of his life in a house with running water if Democrats used money spent for only a few seconds of that mind numbing tribute to their own hypocrisy.

Assigning moral equivalency between a right-wing preacher, and a former head of the democrat party is insane. When a high-level republican says GD America, and the republicans tell us that it is ok because Wright said it, then you can complain. Until then, Fowler and Pratt remain as insensitive jerks. The late Fallwell was a nut case, but so are these prominent democrats.

I hear there was another DRIVE-BY-SHOOTING again last night.
I will guarantee it was an OBAMA SUPPORTER!

Mr. and Misse Obama empty heads empty suit, and racist creeps. Just like the cult following them. DemocRAT party a big old hate group Hitler would have been proud off.

Interesting how it’s the fault of the ‘right-wing nutcase’ for taping him – not his own fault for making such a vicious comment. He even goes to the extreme of trying to equate it with the late Rev. Falwell’s post-9/11 remarks. As I recall, Falwell was not trying to be sarcastic or issuing a statement in jest. It would be appropriate for Fowler to joke about a hurricane hitting Louisiana as the GOP convention begins: his party relies on the pain and misery of others in order to have a platform. Just as Katrina was an opportunity Dems took in blaming Bush instead of the incompetence and negligence on the part of Blanco and Nagin, the Dems – once again – are salivating at the thought of death and destruction in order to create political unrest. What else can we expect from a party that needs victims in order to increase the government programs the left propose? Fowler is only ‘sorry’ because he was caught. He’s only ‘sorry’ IF anyone was offended, but not otherwise.”

The democrat party has been hijacked by the kook fringe Michael Moore types funded by the likes of George Soros & Co. They’re responsible for the downturn in our society, imo and conservatives have been asleep during this “takeover”. We could never believe society would come to this and now it’s time for us to wake up and fight back!
There are many “conservative democrats” and there are “liberal republicans” – it’s too bad we have to associate with a “party”. Maybe one day, when everyone wakes up, we can change the parties to accomodate a more definitive belief system. With politicians having the character of Palin, we are on our way!
Vote for the person and not the party and we’ll all be better off! Vote for open elections!

recorded by a “right-wing nut case” or not…HE SAID IT!

I was a John Kennedy Democrat because of his ideology. At his 1961 inaguration JFK said “Fellow Americans do not ask what your country can do for you but ask what you can do for your country”
Obama is saying “Don’t ask what you can do for your country but ask what your government can do for you”!!!
Obama just made me a Republican!! I’m thankfull I listened closely to his speches.

We all have a reasonable expectation of privacy, even in public. That someone went out of their to invade Fowler‘s privacy by secretly video taping him in a passenger plane, then posting the results on the Internet is a whole different story. It may be technically legal, but it sure is sleazy. As a law abiding citizen, I do not approve of this kind behavior. The posters on this board shouldn’t either. Ask yourself if you would like someone doing this to you. And by the way, I’m voting for Bob Bar.

Brandon, after hurricane katrina the democrat whipped the Afro-American community into a frency saying Bush don’t love black people that’s why he allowed New Orleans to flood. This is said even up to today while another hurricane approaches New Orleans. Nowhere has the democrat party produced evidence that Bush hates Afro-Americans but this did not stop the democrat party from spreading their hateful lie.
If a video clip was shown with Republicans joking a this hurricane approaching New Orleans, what do you think the left-wing media would be saying 24/7 today about New Orleans, Bush and the Republican party? And, would there be any discussion about the person who recorded the video clip except to say that person is a hero?

I guess it shows how tacky and thoughtless some people are to gain power out of something incontrolable to the south. Not to think of all the Democrat people who live in Louisiana and those who are in democrat party that just held there convention. Until you have lived through such horror of storms one might not know. Maybe Mr. Fowler such donate some time to the National Guard and set up post in a hurricane and see just how God works in his favor.

Dan Fowler,
It’s your bad. You’re old and have not learned a thing about virtues. I’m so sorry for all you Liberals. I pray that y’all see the light to redemption.

Hey – here’s cool brave Sarah Palin laughing at a cancer survivor. Watch it and weep, Sarah lovers.
Just punch in SP’s name on yootube for a raft of disgusting Sarah videos.

How many more people is Obama going to associate himself with that he has to denounce?
===========================
Hows about McCoward’s denunciations? Ever hear of the Rev. John C. Hagee and the Rev. Rod Parsley?
Former “spiritual advisors” of MCcain’s

They say what a person says and does in privite reflects the real atitudes a person holds… whether or not the person recordining it was a right wing person or not …the humor probably is close to Fowlers attitude …We all have mused in privite moments what we wouldn’t share publicly.
unlike current liberal blogs that are deliberatly spreading distorted facts as truth about Palins daughter and palins newest child… Fowlers views are fair game to the voting public.unlike a blog ,the video is raw fact.

“We all have a reasonable expectation of privacy, even in public. That someone went out of their to invade Fowler‘s privacy by secretly video taping him in a passenger plane, then posting the results on the Internet is a whole different story.”
brandon | Sep 1, 2008 4:24:05 PM
I don’t know what you’re basing your assertion on, Brandon. It certainly isn’t the U.S. Constitution or any case law. Fowler is just po’ed he got caught being a a total jerk. But, Don should have known that he’s a Democrat, and we already knew he was a jerk. All he did was verify that fact yet again for the American people.

Good lesson here! If you don’t want someone to hear you, don’t say anything. When you joke about God, you need to be extra careful. The real question is not whether God is on the side of the Democrats or Republicans, but whether we on God’s side! He supercedes all of us, and He doesn’t take sides. Foolish people like Don Fowler, Michael Moore and others make foolish statements. Perhaps they should find out a little bit more about who God is. They might be surprised…that is if they really want to know!

Tell you what libs. I’m ready for the Civil War #2. Question is…are you? I’m ready to take our country back from you. You are eroding our freedom of speech, right to bear arms and you don’t mind killing babies. Maybe we’ve approached the point of not being to reconcile our differences. You hate us, we hate you…let’s go!
_______________________________________
Let’s not. We’ll just let you toddle on down to Hell, where you can stay.

Is it just me or everyone that has to laugh their butts off every time a Democrat mentions God? They don’t even beleive in God. All they do is try to get God kicked out of America. God and the Democratic party, now that is FUNNY!!

Sorry Brandon,
That last post was for Generation Change.

NEWSFLASH – this just in…. the GOP has decided to scale back the convention and will be holding the even at a smaller venue. they have chosen the minneappolis airport mens room for their meeting and the second day festivities will be hosted by larry craig.

NEWSFLASH – A video clip of democrat party operatives discussing how best to exploit the Larry Craig situation were heard referring to Larry Craig as a Republican party switch hitting “fudge packer.” When the democrat party operative who made the statement was asked to explain his comments he said, “those dirty homophobe Republicans … if anyone was hurt by what I said … tell it to someone who gives a rat’s behind … better yet … call the FBI.” The democrats then announced they will appoint Larry Craig to head their Men/Boy Love Political Action Committee.
More details of these democrat political maneuvers to come!

Who cares???

The really smart people think before they say something they’ll regret or apologizes for later. But the issue here is that so much hatred has been directed to the Republican party that no amount of self-control can even hold down the Democrats’ sacrilegious tongue. No one from the liberal-leaning media would bother to note that Bill Clinton is always quick to lash out with the foulest vindictive words for those who he thinks has wrong him—the very same man who smeared the dignity of the White House.

Sara Palin needs to go home. No matter what anyone says, there is a difference between a man and a woman with children. Women get pregnant and deliver babies. God places more nurturing in women. Mothers naturally care for babies more than men. Mrs. Palin still has two minor daughters and a disabled infact. She should put family before career and go home during the tender years of her children. She can even run for president later, but now if she truly places family first–GO HOME AND SEE TO YOUR OTHER GIRLS AND INFANT CHILD.

Wonder if there is truth to Obama leaking Palin’s pregnant story to media, then publicly denounces it for political points? If so, is it because to distract the public of two of his personal issues that has been circulating all over the internet for 2 years… And they are:
1. His sex and drug rendevous with Larry Sinclar implicating closeted homosexuality – google “Obama’s closeted homosexuality” and,
2. Has Obama’s birth certificate been vetted? Is it legitimate? His citizenship is questioned because there are family members who witnessed his birth in Kenya? His mother married and divorced Indonesian man who adopted Obama? The actual birth certificate document confirms to be a forged copy. Apparently candidates have to be citizens to be eligible to run for President…..

jean, the liberal, leftwing has been putting this and many other things out about Sarah Palin. What about the equal rights liberals have, I thought, believed in for so long?
In fact, are there any liberal, leftwing beliefs a liberal, leftwinger would not throw under the bus of politics? The question is this, what do left-wing, liberals believe in and which of their believes will they stand up and defend no matter the political circumstances?
A Republican stands up and defends basic principles that do not change based on the political circumstance.
A democrat will attack a gay Republican with the most hateful, homophobic, anti-gay, inhuman and inhumane language one can imagine, while the Republicans will see the gay Republican as a human being deserving of human compassion, treatment and concern because they are still a human being. They are a life and have value and deserve compassionate understanding because all of us are fallible and imperfect.
The women of America are watching the democrat party and their liberal, left-wing media. Know this, the democrat party will experience a backlask from the women of America and the Hillary supporters because of that party’s amateur, illogical, anti-female attacks against Sarah Palin.
So jean, float those left-wing, liberal attack talking points somewhere else. America ain’t buying it!

The story behind Palin’s ex brother in law – state trooper being fired is, he is a wife and children beater using his police taser. His wife is Palin’s sister. Her ex brother in law also threatened her father’s life. If Palin was involved in getting him fired, then it is a human interest story especially for women nationwide as there is very little in the system to protect them from domestic violence.
