Ace is wondering if some of the concern trolls were getting — the ones pretending to be Republicans — are astroturfing and actually part of the Obama campaign. I checked some of the troll IPs, and there are a few from Chicago, Illinois. If this is true, that’s pretty pathetic. They’re doing a presidential campaign, and they’re tasking people to annoy IMAO readers?
Then again, I guess they’re paying more attention to me than McCain.

People who read this blog know that I have been a leader in progressive causes for forty-three years and have been active in the Democratic Party all that time, but while I think Barack Obama seems like a nice person, I worry he could ultimatly hurt the Democrats and progressivism. The thing is, while he tries to be a liberal, I suspect he’s not all that bright. That’s why for the first time ever I’m considering voting Republican because of incidents like these:
BARACK OBAMA IS SUCH A DUMB LIBERAL THAT…
…he tried to pass a ban on semi-automatic salted weapons.
…the reason he pressed the “Present” button when voting so many times is because he thought then he’d get one.
…he’s proposed abandoning Iraq and dividing the country between the Kurds and Whey.
…when he heard some abortion doctors needed new equipment, he got them shotguns to shoot down storks.
…he’s claimed the government can afford all his proposals by raising taxes on people named “Rich.”
…he’s loudly complained about people confusing his name with Obama’s.
…he tried to increase funding for St. Patrick’s Day thinking it was a celebration of going green.
…when he realized he didn’t know who the leaders of the terrorists are, he wrote his proposed surrender on the War on Terror “To Whom It May Concern.”
…he gets angry at any foreign dignitaries who visits America and don’t speak Spanish.
…trying to one up Hillary during the campaign, he proposed galactic health care.
…he says he’s open to bisexual talks with North Korea.
…pandering to illegal immigrants he said, “Ich bin ein taco supreme!”
…when he first tried cocaine, he did it by sprinkling it on a donut.
…when trying to share in the culture when visiting an Islamic state, when about to pray he asked in what direction was Macaca.
…he feels guilty whenever he eats peanut butter on a Ritz since his church is always going on about how evil crackers are.
…when he heard his half-brother lives in a tiny hut in Kenya, he asked if it was the pizza kind.
…when he was told Republicans were engaged in an assault on “choice,” he wrote a long letter in defense of Baskin-Robbins 31 Flavors.
…when he heard Bill Ayers had planted bombs at the Pentagon, he thought it was to help the military grow more bombs.
…he proposed a gay marriage bill to allow lesbians and gay men to marry.
…he wondered aloud if Dumbo was based on him. When asked if he meant because of the ears, he replied, “No, because of the name.”
All this, and I hear that whenever Obama’s campaign has a policy meeting, they need to make sure there’s no bucket on the floor near Obama or otherwise when he gets bored he’ll get curious if his head will fit inside and inevitably get it stuck. Thus, despite the fact that I’m a long time progressive, I think I may have to vote this year for McCain and Palin. You other progressives should consider it to.

Did you hear what Obama was recently bragging about:

“If we’re going to ask questions about, you know, who has been promulgating negative ads that are completely unrelated to the issues at hand, I think I win that contest pretty handily.”

Obama is actually bragging about having substance free negative ads! The Democrats really picked a horrible person as their nominee. They should consider replacing him with a more serious choice like their previous vice presidential candidate Joe Lieberman.
