I love my country

Touche`

For something like this, it strains credibility that a low-level secretary would handle something like this. It would imply a level of incompetence that would disqualify one from being anywhere near the oval office

So, who are your friends there, Charles? ;)

I refuse to believe that Hatem El-Hady is a real name.

Nice work Charles. Keep those roosting chickens busy.muwahahahahaha.

"Friends," Romans, and Countrymen, lend me your spears.

Michelle as first lady?

Swiftboating! Guilt by association! Hackers! Strawman! It was the 60's, dammit!

/anticipating the excuses

re: #9 stevieray

Out of context! My personal fave.

I don't know diddly about 'friend' networks, but is it possible that when El-Hady registered, Michelle Obama was automatically popping up on everybody's list? Like Tom what's-his-face at Myspace?

Otherwise, I think it's darned spiffy that you took the time to do some checking into the whole thing.

They will say it's a staffer. When the questionnaire detailing Barack's extreme views on guns and other issues came out, he said a staffer filled it out even with his handwriting on it.

And the press bought it. Why wouldn't they buy that a staffer was in charge of the networking site?

Charles is always AT LEAST one step, many times two and three steps ahead of his prey. People foolish enough to tangle with him do well to internalize that.

Well done Gorn.

re: #5 seether

I refuse to believe that Hatem El-Hady is a real name.

His real name is Hadme At-Hello.

Hugh Hewitt is playing a bunch of Wright sermons.....

MOTS (more of the same)

...and add to that, Hugh Hewitt is broadcasting new "sermons" (very disturbing) from Rev. Wright.

NObama!

Charles, before we start slinging mud, consider that many people use nics of their favorite heroes. I have seen it in LGF and other blogs. Just because the nic reads Michelle Obama doesn't mean the person was actually Michelle Obama. You have seen the same at leftest blogs using your name as their nic to inflame the members.

I would ding you up 100 points for that if I could.

That is a GREAT rotating title.

Hell, not me !

How many hate monger friends do Barrack and Michelle have to have before the MSM gets a clue and calls them on it? The list literally grows every week.

And with friends like Mr. Wright, who keeps his mouth running full time on TV, Obama has got to be wondering how many more will begin to make a fool of him.

Remember that it was Michelle Obama who invited Bill Ayers to be a part of forums on which her husband participated.

Of course- befriending a terrorist thug is in and of itself unseemly, but I have to agree with you. Hard to auto-friend if an invitation and confirmation have to take place.

For some reason, when I saw your 'jews for hitler', I heard "springtime for hitler, in Germany' in my head....

I'm having bad Deja Vu...

when I close my eyes and listen, so much of what's said about Barack sounds like the same things said about the people & circumstances surrounding Bill... & at the time I thought he could never be elected once, let alone twice.

You and Hatem go together well, my Michelle.

Back in 1976, Gerald Ford gave a clumsy answer in a debate with Carter to the effect that Eastern European countries were "free". It was quickly lampooned as a gaffe from the clueless candidate.
Today we have Ayers, Wright, "mean" Americans, no pride in her country, "bitter" religious nuts and I've probably forgotten some dumb statements, and the guy keeps going.
Time's have changed.

It's part of the movie The Producers, a hilarious Mel Brooks movie.

It helps to know the plot of the movie first...puts the video linked above in perspective.

When I last looked, Michelle Obama has 233 friends, most of whom seem to be campaign operatives like precinct captains and whatnot. Is the friend thing mutual? If I make you my friend, with your acceptance, does that automatically make me yours?

Oh, and the notion that Michelle Obama has a doppleganger on the Obama campaign website is a stretch.

The conservatives are NOT in the minority. There are conservatives in both parties. Obama will never be president. Even if he's elected. That is a sad statement to make, but true.

re: #81 LoFlyer

True....he was verrryyy good to the church, they built him a million dollar house as a retirement gift.

I can trace my christian heritage to the pastor of one the early Protestant Churches in Kent England. I am the first male in several generations not a minister. My heritage, and where I currently attend politics is off the table.

A person in correct spiritual state will make political decisions according to God's will.

Politics need not be preached from the pulpit. We do pray for ALL of leaders, that they be guided, we don't even pray for a specific conclusion, other than God's will.

Christians 'should wear veil'

OUTSPOKEN Muslim cleric Taj Din al-Hilali says the Bible "mandates" the wearing of the veil by Christian women.

Writing in a new book, Sheik Hilali, who lost his job as mufti of Australia after comparing scantily clad women to uncovered meat, argues that the Bible and the Koran make similar demands of a woman's modesty.

re: #102 Charles

Ah, a good opt-in model. Right.

This would be the same bunch that apparently had Obama's pages redirect to Hillary's website?

Some supporters who tried to visit the community blogs section of Obama's site started noticing late last week they were being redirected to Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's official campaign site.

Security researchers said a hacker exploited a so-called "cross-site scripting" vulnerability in Obama's website to engineer the ruse.

Netcraft Ltd. said the hacker injected code into certain pages in the section - code that was then executed when subsequent visitors tried to view the community blogs section. The vulnerability has since been fixed.

While the hack appears to have been a prank, researchers said the breach underscored that candidates risk exposing their supporters to computer viruses and identity theft if they don't secure their websites. For instance, a similar mechanism could be employed to redirect campaign site users to a site that steals personal information from visitors.

Looks like Hugh Hewitt has numerous recorded sermons of the Rev. J. over at Townhall.com. I just downloaded about 3 hours worth. Doubt if I can make it thru all that. Bad for the anger management.
