Zombietext Update: Obama Frenzy at Invesco Field

Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 4:01:25 pm PDT

(Received from Zombie via text message...)

Live-blogging from Invesco Field. Walked all the way here with 1000 potheads on the marijuana march. The scene out here is crazy; endless lines six abreast stretching for miles from every stadium entrance. Obama frenzy is palpable in the air.

Oooh - the Fred Phelps crazies just went by, carrying “God hates fags” signs. There they go.

Parking spaces are $80 each near the stadium. I saw several seniors close to fainting in the heat...

MSM members are all around in this A&W place across from Invesco, buying sodas to keep from passing out, and calling in their stories. No way I’m getting in to see The Sermon on the 50-yard line - it’s booked solid. The MSM guy next to me just told his editor that traffic is backed up five miles around the stadium.

(More to come...)

re: #4 Sharmuta

$80?! And this is from the party for the working man?

On FoxNews earlier, one of their reporters said that they were told they needed to pay $2000 to park 8 vehicles in a lot. She said the price started at $50 per vehicle, then went up to $100 per, and finally the guy told them it would be $2000 for the 8 vehicles, and so she and entourage left and set up shop somewhere else.

There a few and far between city sponsored parking in that area. I suspect that those prices are being charged by the private lots, owned by good capitalist.

I don't think there is any way that either campaign could ditate the parking prices.

If he gets elected and has the EPIC FAIL his empty suit of a soul is apt to have; I really wonder if the AA community might reconsider their political leanings. It is a tragedy that Johnson was able to buy off the AA community with 'the great society''s welfare policies. Taking the AA from a path of self reliance and liberty granted by Republicans, to one of utter dependence and political slavery under the near monolithic Democratic voting block, has been one of the biggest betrayals in history.

72 shibumi  Thu, Aug 28, 2008 4:14:28pm

Ever attend a concert in a stadium? Sounds like hell. The vocals are usually garbled and somewhat delayed.

With just Obambi speaking.... magnify the garbling and the delay a bunch. I guarantee that his worshippers won't understand a word that is said in that stadium.

Not that it matters to them.

Ha, that touches a nerve, doesn't it? We should continue to point out that MLK was a Republican. Who can have a problem with the truth? The truth will win. I love this woman:

"I absolutely do not regret the ads," said Rice, 62, a native of Atlanta, King's hometown. He "absolutely was a Republican," she insisted. "We were all Republicans in those days. The Democrats were training fire hoses on us, siccing dogs on us."

Then we can add this to the list of consequences the obama people didn't see coming- what a fiasco.

Hell- he's offering up affordable [fill in the blank] on everything else, so why not?

As if the messiah doesn't have the money or influence to help the little people.

Suppose you owned one of the ramps, knowing the elite of the DNC will want to park as close to the stadium as possible, to avoid walking or commuting with the great unwashed.

Obama's team comes to you and says, "We know your price point is $80 for these spaces. How about if you charge just $20 and we'll make good on the rest?"

The Lincoln Memorial is a perfect example. Do you think Obama has anything whatsoever to do with Lincoln, on principle? Absolutely nothing. Lincoln and all that he stood for is a threat to Obama's supremacism. The old Lincoln must die, symbolically, so that the New Lincoln (Obama) can live.

Suppose you owned one of the ramps, knowing the elite of the DNC will want to park as close to the stadium as possible, to avoid walking or commuting with the great unwashed.

Obama's team comes to you and says, "We know your price point is $80 for these spaces. How about if you charge just $20 and we'll make good on the rest?" Would you wait for a politician's team to settle up, days, weeks or even months later, or would you enjoy dumping all that money in the bank the next day?

Pay up, sucker!

That's my point. We constently support captialism, and now suddenly we are ragging on a the private parking lot owners becuase they are trying to get their slice of the convention pie.

The same thing happens on Bronco game days. Even private home owners on the side streets near the stadium will put a sign out on thier front lawns and offer parking on thier lawns or driveways.

I see nothing wrong with it. And most Denver area residents know about the parking issues around the stadium. It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

Almighty Zeus's podium will ascend from the stage and the one will bless the crowds with his words and everyone who listens will marvel at the depth of his knowledge. In the background will be a facsimile of the Acropolis even though we are told that it is supposed to resemble the Lincoln Memorial ...odd since Lincoln was a republican. I believe there will be a replica of the fuselage of Airforce One...oh the arrogance of it all...

So far the Democratic convention has been an exercise in single pointedness...they are convinced that they are running against George W. Bush. Their efforts to make John McCain out to be the same as Bush could end up backfiring as all that has to happen at the Republican convention is for the McCain camp to make the case that McCain is a maverick and that when you get by all the unanimous votes (where both McCain, Obama agree which is about 85% of the votes taken in the Senate) of taking short breaks, adjournments, renaming post offices and congratulating sports teams...McCain has opposed Bush numerous times. This would have the effect of rendering the entire democratic convention moot.

This whole let's take a page from John Kennedy isn't going to play well. A parody of words comes to mind here: "we saw John F. Kennedy, We knew JFK and you Senator Obama are no John F. Kennedy"

The only thing Denverites will tolerate for screwed up traffic on I-25 is the Denver Broncos. And it damn well better have been a home win.

BTW, I just watched some of the videos about the meltdowns that are going on over there.

Wow.

I completely agree with you. Obama has always been about the ultimate triumph of style over substance.

Regarding the meltdowns.... these people are teaching in our childrens schools, holding public office locally, running businesses.... scary, isn't it?

Not ironic at all. It's called appropriation. The Left is fixated on symbols and representation. Anything they can take over, invest with their alternative meaning, and thereby pervert, is fair game. That is a tactic of supremacists.

The Lincoln Memorial is a perfect example. Do you think Obama has anything whatsoever to do with Lincoln, on principle? Absolutely nothing. Lincoln and all that he stood for is a threat to Obama's supremacism. The old Lincoln must die, symbolically, so that the New Lincoln (Obama) can live.

Do you see?

Obama is the Anti-Lincoln.

219 WayDownSouthInBama  Thu, Aug 28, 2008 4:37:36pm

I was looking over an advance copy of Obama's speech and found this:

“We meet at one of those defining moments – a moment when our nation is at war, our economy is in turmoil, and the American promise has been threatened once more."

Never mind the economy GREW a rate of 3.3% last quarter,I have a question:

What IS the "American PROMISE" anyway?

Now I can see someone with an entitlement mentality THINKING that America should promise them a living...and food...and health care...and whatever. But I just never heard any normal person comment on the belief that this country should promise anyone anything.

Anyone from Denver know what the usual parking fee is for that lot? It certainly can't be $80 per car which means they jacked it up just for this event.

223 really grumpy big dog Johnson  Thu, Aug 28, 2008 4:38:00pm

I think Obama is styling this using an old-time gospel revival as the template. People swaying in rapture in the audience. It seems like a large part of the African-American population of Denver is in attendance.

There's one younger white guy I saw in the crowd wearing an Obama shirt, who looked like he was thinking "Why am i here?"

When people leave tonight, I think the attempt is to make many of them think that thay have found The Way.

Very Obama.

Usual parking is 15 dollars in the city lots around the stadium and ballpark.

But these lots at 80 dollars are PRIVATE LOTS, and I see nothing wrong with them getting what they can.

Isn't that what we are always preaching about, the Amercian Dream, capitalism.

There a few and far between city sponsored parking in that area. I suspect that those prices are being charged by the private lots, owned by good capitalist.

I don't think there is any way that either campaign could ditate the parking prices.

If I owned a lot there, I'd be charging big bucks as well. But I would bring in lights, provide security and escorts to your vehicle after the event.

My response to the Obamaniacs:

YOU BOWED DOWN
Roger McGuinn, 1990

I suppose you're entitled to know
Why I'm making contact
With acqaintances scattered
All over the land
I'd promise you now and again
That I'd honor the contract
If it hadn't crumbled away in my hand
Well we broke that vow independently now
But I don't know why you absolutely deny

You bowed down
You bowed down

When you first looked away
I might say it was really a kindness
I must have hurt to see how dreams sour
Now they say that justice and love
Are the next things to blindness
Well you're getting plenty
Of both of them now
And so you parade where
Appointments are made
And never meant to be kept
Unless you accept

You'll value the burnt amber of falling leaves
And you'll long to delay
You feel their breath as they whisper
It won't hurt you now to betray
If you just bow down

And now every time that we meet
On the edge of hysteria
You're helping them sell off
Some new party line
I remember a time when you
Would have seemed so superior
Now you say "will you please
Meet this good friend of mine"
So you're in demand as long
As you kiss their hand
But all the applause
Is for their name not yours

Bill Murray, his caddy, proceeds to sneak away as if nothing happened. I just think something like that could happen to Obama for pretending he's God. Only this time there'd be 80,000 Bill Murrays sneaking out of Invesco.

If Obama's team was smart (they are not, really), they would've presented Obama more as a populist than an elitist. He could've won everything by being genuinely humble and self-effacing -- that is, if he actually had the brains to offset that pose, which he doesn't.

And right-wingers who support a total ban on gays in the military (for instance) without really being able to articulate a case for such an extreme position can say, "Hey, it's not like I'm carrying around a God Hates Fags sign!"

re: #71 Blue Falcon

If he gets elected and has the EPIC FAIL his empty suit of a soul is apt to have; I really wonder if the AA community might reconsider their political leanings. It is a tragedy that Johnson was able to buy off the AA community with 'the great society''s welfare policies. Taking the AA from a path of self reliance and liberty granted by Republicans, to one of utter dependence and political slavery under the near monolithic Democratic voting block, has been one of the biggest betrayals in history.

I agree with this totally, however, the Republicans also did a terrible job of communicating this to black America and in fact very, very few Republicans at the time were visible in the struggle to end terrible wrongs done to black American citizens since Reconstruction. This was the perspective of people in my family who were life long Republicans, which was the only party for blacks for a hundred years. Democrats won the black electorate with Civil Rights an issue which Republicans completely dropped the ball. I think bringing the black vote back to the party of Lincoln has and will continue to be a priority since the Dems have certainly abused the relationship for decades.

Near the end of that speech, he claims he's going to go after al Qaeda, etc. (Daniel Pipes recently wrote an article about how Muslims think of Obama -- and there are radicals who believe Obama is an apostate Muslim -- and if this Obama is saying "I'm gonna go after Muslims", that sounds like a challenge (a throwing down of the gauntlet) from an apostate...what does Obama want, another 9/11? Obama is clearly dangerous...)

He'll go after them alright. To sign a surrender . . . . .

I think we'll see a bigger turnout this year. Obama's campaign is signing them up on campuses across the country to vote absentee. Making it very easy. I think the self loathing white youth will come through for him and, of course, most of the black youths.

I don't ban them, but would like them to be on the fringe of the Republic, where they can do the most good. They're happier there, anyway.

I don't care for a second.

I see hundreds of idiotic Obama bumper stickers every freaking day of the week. I see them on every car from Prius to BMW 7 series. And, many of the people who support him look surprisingly together.

So, none of this is a surprise. And, waiting for a surprise is like watching a "reality" TV show and waiting to be surprised.

Carter's whole life has been a race to get away from Billy and that peanut business. He was only distinguished in his wardroom as being unusually undistinguished. Roselyn yanked him out of that quick and then realized the last thing she wanted was life back in Plains. A USSS officer once told me they'd send a young guy with an attitude down to wash Roselyn's car for two weeks and he'd come back with his attitude all adjusted.

McCain needs to bring a little energy. The great thing that Saddleback showed is that he can bring "intensity." He's the guy to face down Putin.

McCain can take oil away from Obama. He can take geopolitics away from him, and national defense. He needs to take away the economic sting issues. And to do that, he needs to bring back Reagan's belief in creativity, innovation, flexibility, and tax relief. He can out-do Obama's proposals.

But he also needs to win the "future" vote with the freedom, optimism and ingenuity that makes this country so frickin' GREAT.

Why? Last night of the convention and the two candidates are statistically tied. Obama should have been up by 4-5 points when he picked his VP and another 10+ by now from the convention. Ain't happenin'.

And remember last month Obama spent more $$$ on a single ad than John McCain did his entire campaign - and they are STILL statistically tied.
