Revolutionaries ?Think about it, who gets assassinated? Assholes? No. Revolutionaries and progressives? Yes.
Lincoln
JFK
MLK Jr.
Gandhi
etc...
Bugbee - Tim you know this guy ?TROY, N.Y. - Who is running for president? In an upstate New York county, hundreds of voters have been sent absentee ballots in which they could vote for "Barack Osama."
The absentee ballots sent to voters in Rensselaer County identified the two presidential candidates as "Barack Osama" and "John McCain." In the United States, the best-known individual named Osama is Osama bin Laden, leader of the al Qaida terrorist group behind the 2001 attacks that destroyed the World Trade Center in New York City.
The typographical terror error was first reported by the Times Union of Albany.
The elections office faxed a statement in which the two commissioners, Democrat Edward McDonough and Republican Larry Bugbee, said they regret the error but never acknowledge what the error was.
"It's human error, it's very unfortunate, it's an embarrassment to our office, obviously," McDonough said in a later phone interview. "We wish we could turn back the clock, but we can't."
When they discovered the mistake, officials shredded the remaining "Osama" ballots and mailed correct versions to the roughly 300 people who had already received them. McDonough said the "Osama" mistake was made in only one of the 13 ballot versions mailed throughout the county, located east of the state capital of Albany.
Voters who received both versions will be allowed to send in either one and have it counted, McDonough said.
Obama spokesman Blake Zeff said the campaign is "glad officials are working to correct this error and we assume it won't happen again."
Bill Hicks FTMFW!! When I see politicians I always think about that bit:
i was thinking the same thing. it seems like a baby boomer vs. gen x/y idiot fest.The crowds in the video were predominantly white and middle aged...they will soon go the way of the buffalo.
i couldn't help but think of south park when i listened to that.Bill Hicks FTMFW!! When I see politicians I always think about that bit:
"'I think the puppet on the right shares my beliefs.' 'I think the puppet on the left is more to my liking.' 'Hey, wait a minute, there's one guy holding out both puppets!'"
I was referring more to Gandhi and MLK when I said revolutionaries.Revolutionaries ?
JFK ??? ( No F****ing way a revolutionary )
Garfield ?
McKinley ?
I would not even call Lincoln a revolutioanry, a strong leader who had to make some very tough, and Un popular decisions yes.
and if you a conspiracy theory type you can throw Harding and Taylor into that mix as well
then you can go with the list of Attpemts on Presidents
Andrew Jackson ( Jacksons own accounts say he was hit , most other accounts say he was not , not that Jackson had an ego or anything . )
Theodore Roosevelt ( was actually shot, but kept talking some politicians you can't even shut up with a bullet )
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Harry S. Truman
Richard M. Nixon (2)
Gerald R. Ford (2)
Jimmy Carter
Ronald Reagan (was actually shot )
George H.W. Bush
Bill Clinton (2)
George W. Bush
revolutionaries ??? I don't think so.
i'm pretty sure biden called him osama almost a year ago. maybe another nor'eastern liberal. whoever it was got a pass - that much i rememberSomeone needs to be fired - they can't claim this was an accident:
Liberals = everyone that doesn't worship Bush.lol.. liberals have been wanting to kill/lynch/alabama hotpocket bush for 8 years..
bottom rail on top now.
that's what you call a security lapse.
Kennedy.i'm pretty sure biden called him osama almost a year ago. maybe another nor'eastern liberal.
That's neat it has a constant of big rhetorical notes you can use like sub-titles to help as a guide.
And finally there is not threatening rhetoric focusing on misinformation of a candidate that could lead to violence against the president.

doood...those are just spotters for the real assassins. it's all a conspiracy!!!Since we're on such a morbid topic, I wanted to mention (and I think Manimal will appreciate this) that I was highly impressed by the security at the Obama rally last week. There were snipers and dudes with gigantic binoculars everywhere. I even took some pictures of these guys standing on the roof. The rally was held in a high school football stadium which was right beside the high school and you could see guys in the windows of the school just watching for something to happen.
The only lapse that I heard about is one of my staff members was able to walk within about 50 yards uphill of his bus as he was getting off to address the crowd. oster_oops:
Your wife's 15?!????!! Duuuuude....My hottie neighbor stopped by here yesterday. I already think she is dumb as a stump (So dumb it over rules her hotness...), but this clinched it. She was talking to my wife about politics, and she thinks Obama is a Muslim (Again, because of his name...), that he wants to turn the country over to his Muslim pals, and he wants to give away the countries nukes (No more proliferation...but I have heard nothing about giving away nukes.) and disband the military.
It was good to hear my 15 y/o put her straight.
Oh...well....in that case, nevermind...you're missing out ...My son, knucklehead!
Actually Obama is a Manchurian Candidate, only when the trigger word is spoken he turns the country over to The Secret Waffle Society.doood...those are just spotters for the real assassins. it's all a conspiracy!!!
Dude...you need to be on pain meds and away from work more often.Actually Obama is a Manchurian Candidate, only when the trigger word is spoken he turns the country over to The Secret Waffle Society.
Then and only then where there truly be peace throughout the galaxy.
I did not realize there were so many trailer parks in and around NYC.
and punishing achievement, and adding more taxation on to all tax payers, and growing government, and growing the welfare state, and appeasing terrorists, and kill the unborn, and killing the just born, and wanting to silence those who don't agree with them, and standing silent while dead people vote, and still standing silent while others vote multiple times, and .....
Have you been around the last 8 years:huh:and punishing achievement, and adding more taxation on to all tax payers, and growing government, and growing the welfare state, and appeasing terrorists, and kill the unborn, and killing the just born, and wanting to silence those who don't agree with them, and standing silent while dead people vote, and still standing silent while others vote multiple times, and .....

so there are valid reasons to assassinate dubya?And finally there is not threatening rhetoric focusing on misinformation of a candidate that could lead to violence against the president.
white people can be so racist
new yorkers are more educated & informed than you give credit, especially harlem voters. even howard stern could rip your case to shreds with this:
If you are able to burden a little more and refuse to, you're an inconsiderate F#ck in my books.and punishing achievement,
Well I'm not going to be taxed as much, how about you? Redistribution of priorities is a nice thing.and adding more taxation on to all tax payers,
Where have you been the last 8 years? Look if you're libertarian that's cool, but if you fancy yourself a republican and you aren't kicking and screaming at your boys now then you are bat nucking futsand growing government,
Generalization, but there are welfare's available for all kinds, not just po' people. I think the biggest problem is the policing of them.and growing the welfare state,
Dictionary my friend. Didn't know that liberals gave into the demands and made concessions to terrorists. You have examples? They may have different methods, but appeasing is certainly the incorrect term.and appeasing terrorists,
This will never be figured out. How you want to deal with religious ethical questions is up to you and your family, and how other people live and deal with this issue is their choice IMHO. The separation of church and state is one of the foundations that this country is built on. Maybe if you don't like it you should move somewhere else???and kill the unborn, and killing the just born,
Same with republicansand wanting to silence those who don't agree with them, and standing silent while dead people vote, and still standing silent while others vote multiple times, and .....
If you are able to burden a little more and refuse to, you're an inconsiderate F#ck in my books.
