LOL! I've copied some of Mrs. M's "racist" comments (sm)
I find Mrs. M to be one of the more intelligent and tolerant posters on this board, and I enjoy reading her posts. She shows common sense and civil thought, unlike those who are making this ridiculous accusation. To accuse her of posting racist comments is just another attempt to smear someone who is innocent -- as you have been doing with President-Elect Obama.
Here are some of her posts. Please show me the racism. If anything, she has proven to be quite the opposite.
If anything, she's guilty of being happy that her candidate won (as am I), and you are crucifying her for it.
That is really out of line and comparing Obama to Hitler? Talk about paranoid. There is nothing to suggest Obama is Marxist or Nazi. This is all hate and pot stirring rhetoric. Boy some people just operate on fear and are sour grapes that the majority of the people have spoken and Obama was chosen.
Because it's a lie, pure, plain and simple... We do have free speech but it is wrong to make things up about people. Didn't your mom teach you that? The stuff about Palin and Bush are facts. What you put about Obama being compared to Hitler is trouble making slander and liable and hateful. I won't even respond to you anymore on this board because it gives attention to a person who doesn't deserve it. All I can say is OBAMA WON AND THAT MEANS THE MAJORITY WANTED HIM SO TOUGH NOOGIES.
Our image around the world will be repaired by Obama...sm Right now Bush has just about tanked this country. We sorely need to repair our relationships around the world. People do not hate us for our freedoms as Hannity would tell you. If that were true, they'd pick on Sweden who is far more free with everything than we are. I have a friend from Germany who said everyone was rooting for Obama and she hadn't even heard of McCain. They want change for us as well as we do. The American people have spoken and Obama has won.
(And my personal favorite, which some people on this board are just incapable of finding the heart to do:)
You said it oldtimer! Obama won by majority and It's time for people to back the new president and be patriotic. Stop the same old vitriol.
Oh, I have said plenty here.
You just don't read it.
Oh, I appreciate them plenty! sm
I was raised on them. Had a big ol' pot of beans with cornbread and homemade bread and butter pickles yesterday for dinner. Sho 'nuff wuz good, too!
You can have my portion of possum, though. Gives me indigestion. ;o)
Well, there has been plenty of that...lol (sm)
And I'm sure there will be more. The reality of the situation is yes, she was thrown under the bus. She also made the DECISION to put herself in the limelight, knowing (just like everyone else in that spot) that she would be scrutinized. It was a JOKE! Lighten up....besides, I told you not to look.
Ah, but that's not all. She has plenty more
::
LOL! No, there's plenty.
In fact, there's a new "crow," it seems, every day!!
Thanks for the good wishes, GP. 
Well, so far there's been plenty with O to keep you

There are plenty of us who get
TechSupport. Just because you lack the intelligence or refuse to stop drinking kool-aid...doesn't mean the rest of us are like you. If you don't like TechSupport....don't read his posts. If you can't reply without being petty, don't bother replying. The childishness is getting old here.
Yup, he's got plenty of constituents who'd like him out.
Nothing like earning respect like this:

Again, there will still be plenty who will carry her. sm
She isn't going to change and she shouldn't. She is no more outrageous than Molly Ivins and some of the far left pundits. She will always have a following.
Wrong...there were plenty (sm)
who were telling her to get out. Like I said earlier, I do not support any of the current candidates. Based on the length of your posts, it seems that you spend way too much time focused on something you have no control over, but that's just my opinion.
Here is some...you can research for more yourself...there is plenty
on the net.

There is plenty of blame to go around...
However, Bill Clinton is not trying to rewrite history and take credit for keeping the United States safe since 9/11.
He has to do this so he will have plenty of people
nm
We have had plenty of terrorist
AND after 9/11.
- USS Cole.
- 2000 New Year attack attempt at Los Angeles Airport, but stopped at Port Angeles, WA ferry terminal during Clinton.
- New York Bomb Subway in 1997 with Clinton in office.
My gosh, there is a whole list of terrorist attack attempts.
I am sure there are plenty of them who use prostitutes sm
in the District of Criminals, left and right. They only out them when they become a problem - i.e. Eliot Spitzer blowing the whistle on Wall Street before the election.
Wrong - there are plenty
You go ahead and think there are no people who can "hold a candle to him". C'mon you really need to stop drinking the kool-aid. Do you know every single politician in this country? I don't think so. There are a lot of unknown politicians out there who are much better than what is in there and also a lot of well known politicians more qualified. Right now we just have a continuation of the Bush Admin.
At the rate he's going he'll be lucky if he isn't impeached for bringing the country down.
So unless you know every single candidate (republican and independent because we could be seeing the first Independent President in history in 2012) it would be wise to keep these uneducated statements to yourself.
As Ben Franklin once said -
"It is better to keep silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt".
And, unfortunately, you have plenty of "inane"

There are plenty of misspeaks to be found
from ALL the candidates from both parties. That doesn't make it right but arguing over whose misspeak is the worse doesn't get us anywhere.
So don't bother to duck. I'm not gonna throw anything.
Yes, i have plenty to keep me busy. Your attitude
just makes you seem somewhat sexist and I really was just curious?
No problem. Plenty of time for that.
xoxoxox
Yeah, and plenty of them are on this board. sm
I don't relate to them, or SP, whatsoever. I do relate to the women commenting on that blog, and I believe others who visit this board will too, which is why I gave the url. Enjoy.
I know plenty of kids in our schools who would

I have said plenty of things against Mccain
And if it wouldn't be just a wasted vote I would write in another candidate. But the bottom line is Obama is way to liberal. If there was a democratic candidate who was more middle of the road and upheld Christian values I would most certainly vote for him or her. I could care less about republican or democratic parties. Heck this is my first year voting! I think the voting age should be 21 because most 18 year olds are not intelligent enough to go out and really learn about the candidates. They just want to vote for the rock star who promises change. Forget what the change is. He's just so COOL.
Last time I checked COOL wasn't on the lists of requirements for presidential candidate.
There was plenty of mean spirited on the O side too
The last three days of his campaign reeked of mean-spirited.
oh, they'll change plenty!
It just won't entail anything you're requesting! Now that all 3 tiers of DC will be run by the Dems, and let me clarify the far-left wing of that party (Obama #1 most lib, Ted Kennedy #2, Joe Biden #3, clearly documented if you don't believe me).
The election is over, and I'm not here to start a fight over anything. But what I'm saying can be proven in a year from now, 2 years, etc., so I'll make a point to keep this as a reference. Those who voted for this tax-loving group (x3: House, Senate, WH) apparently doesn't mind doing the "American" thing, per Joe Biden. That's what he said about paying taxes. So make a side-by-side comparison for each pay check you get so you can see how much more you'll be taxed once the Dems are running what may turn into a filibuster-proof Senate (the only reason they took Joe Lieberman back). Of course, they have John McCain as well, the man who is more comfortable dissing the conservatives than he is trying to pretend he's one (other than nat'l security & pro-life, basically).
The Republicans got exactly what they deserved, too. Conservatism didn't and will never die, but the GOP took conservatism out of its party the past several years, and this is why they were punished in a big way. That's the only way the GOP can rebuild itself from the gound up.
When I saw the less than 10-minute "movie" called HowObamaGotElected, it was more shocking than I had even realized. Every voter should see this, then give whatever news station(s) you prefer should get a huge reprimand from all the voters who were spoon-fed all this stuff.
Maybe DC will bail this industry out, too. After all, it's free money, right? I've been down this road with Columbia. I picked myself up and moved on down the road. One of my closest friends worked for Enron and lost well over $100K, which was nothing compared to many more there. She, like I, didn't waste her time saying things about the players. She certainly didn't expect the gov't to bail her out, either.
What makes you say that? There's plenty of time.
More than a month before the new administration even gets its feet wet. Besides, there is no statute of limitations on war crimes, and Bush is going to be around for quite some time.
Plenty of what? Lies? Propaganda?
You don't sound like a very thoughtful person. Have you ever stopped to consider what life under occupation has been like for the past 3 generations (60 years)? Probably not. Please notice that that would encompass nearly 40 years of time BEFORE Hamas ever showed up on the scene. If you are OK with having your tax dollars bankroll a blood-thirsty fascist apartheid occupier and have no regard for the suffering it has caused, that speaks for itself. BTW, Hamas is not invading itself.
Let me leave you with this little piece of info to ponder. Hamas weapons amount to stones, home-made pipe bombs and rockets that cannot make their mark. Israel's arsenal includes Assault rifles, submachine guns, machine guns, sniper rifles, shotguns, pistols,
Semi-automatics, breach grenades, SWAT rifles, Isherman, Sho't, Magach, Sabra and Merkava tanks, Davidka, Makmat and Soltam M-66 mortars, Soltam, Rascal, Sholef and IDF howitzers, cargo, sea scan, fighter and trainer aircraft, Shaldaq, Dvora and Super Dvora patrol boats, Sa'ar 3, 4 and 5-class missle boats, Sa'ar 5-class corvettes, Gal class and Dolphin submarines, Trophy and Iron Fist protection systems, Flight Guard airborne countermeasures systems, Machbet anti-aircraft weapons, Barak surface-to-air missiles, SPYDER air-defense system, Arrow anti-ballistic missiles, Tactical High Energy Laser, Iron Dome short-range rocket defense system, David's Sling medium-range rocket defense system, B-300 and Shipon shoulder-launched missiles, shoulder-lanched multipurpose assault weapons, FGM-172 SRAWs, MAPATS, Spike, Nimrod and LAHAT ATGMs, Shafrir, Derby and Python air-to-air missiles, Gabriel naval anti-ship missiles, Popeye air-to-surface missiles, LORA theater and Jericho ballistic missiles, Nimda, Trail Blazers, IDF Nagmachon, IDF Nakpadon, IDF Puma, IDF Achzarit, Namer IFV, Nemmera ARV, AIL Storm, Plasan Sand Cat, Wolf Armoured and Golan Armored fighting vehicles, IMI Mastiff, Casper 250, IAI Searcher, IAI Hary, IAI I-View, IAI Ranger, IAI Heron, IAI RQ-2 Hunter, Elbit Skylark, Elbit Hermes and Aeronautics Defense Dominator unmanned fighter vehicles, Typhoon close-in weapon system, Kilshon anti-radiation missile launchers, Caterpillar D7/D9 armored bulldozers, Enhanced Tactical Computers, LITENING targeting pods, Spice EO-GPS PGM guidance kits, Shavit spaceflight launch vehicle, EROS earth observation satellite and Ofeg reconnaissance satellites. Oops, I almost forgot the WMDs, including chemical, biologic and, of course, the nukes.
Any reasonable person who compares the arsenals and fatalities, including my 10-year-old, can figure out who the terrorists are.
We showed plenty of patriotism..(sm)
last Nov 4. Now THAT was a grass roots movement. Maybe you guys just didn't have the right kind of leadership for this thing. Maybe next time you should look into getting a community organizer.....

NO kidding he gets plenty of media attention without them...
I am surprised that the other media doesn't have nymphs throwing rose petals on his path. But wait...we haven't had Invesco field yet. Maybe that is where the nymphs will come in. The Obama girl is in Denver I hear. lol.
As far as Fox being biased...I saw at least two of them tearing up talking about what a historical moment it was that a black man had ascended to being the first to be nominated by a major party. It WAS moving, for that reason.
This post is extremely intolerant. How is saying he doesn't do well in unscripted situations mean that I hate him and am trying to dig up dirt? Seems more like the poster hates anyone who doesn't say something positive about Obama. It is an observation...I have seen him in unscripted situations and he does not do well. If he thinks O'Reilly is tough, wait until he sits down with Medvedev.
Campaign politics. Plenty of hate to go around.

It's a shame when the only place you can find "Made in the USA" any more is on weapons!

He gave her plenty of time to answer
He talked and then he shut up and let her talk and answer the question. And all she said was I believe all woman have the right to run for office. He did tell her that if she can prove that she defended Palin he will apologize to her. My bet....she will not be able to prove it. She's a hypocrite pure and simple.
You know it's like listening to Chris Matthews and Chris Matthews came out when a question was thrown at him about not letting his guest speak. He told his guest. I will let you speak but if I think your giving me the "B" I'm going to keep drilling you until you speak the truth. No different than O'Reilly.
The public deserves the truth.
He gave her plenty of time to answer
the question and she just kept saying the same crap. She never directly answered his questions. Bill nailed her though on not sticking up for Sarah Palin. If you are going to stick up for women's rights.....stick up for all women and not just the liberal ones. That isn't fair or balanced either. That organization is hypocritical.
As for what he said about Helen....who cares. I'm sure she is a tough enough woman that she doesn't care what Bill O'Reilly says about her. And truly....what is up with the "so-called terrorists." They are terrorists...not so called ones. Who can really dispute how creepy that woman looks....I mean....come on. Helen has been around long enough that I'm sure she has thick skin and didn't give a rats behind what O'Reilly says about her. I mean....come on.
This is petty. Get over it. More important things to discuss than whether or not Bill O'Reilly was overly rude by saying her voice sounded like the wicked witch on the Wizard of Oz.
Sadly, there are plenty of wimpy miserable little

comments (sm)
PK, I agree with some things you say, certainly not all, but you talk about the righer Bush goes the lefter you go. My question is this, do you think it's healthy to let ONE PERSON change your whole ideology? I think that's way too much influence for one person to have on your life. I don't think it's healthy. You are most likely a wonderful person, but like many on the left you have let the fear of Bush really cloud your view. I don't think he's the greatest president we have ever had, but he's certainly on the scoundrel that you and others here make him out to be. I think the problem with leftward thinking as a whole is that it basically says I, as an upper middle-class taxpayer, have to take care of everyone's woes even if their woes are self-inflicted, criminally obtained, or the result of being just plain lazy. Really, in the end when I stand before God I'm only going to have to answer for myself. I do give to others, so I'm not a selfish hog, but I don't think its right for the government to tell me I have to take care of someone else who is capable taking care of themselves. I'm for helping the truly downtrodden, incapacitated, and mentally disabled, but social programs as a whole are sham and downright theft. I don't want that for Iraq or America. I think it's far time that Americans start taking responsibility for themselves and get over the victim mentality and expecting the nanny state to do everything for us.
Anyway, your post was enlightening, and really the first non-angry post I've ever read from you.
Comments
Didn't realize it was a nasty attack, thought I was addressing a point you made about videos being truth and the written word not the truth. Thinking back on the history of propanda films in this country as well as others I disagreed and was trying to use logic.....and some humor.
As far as cut and paste, unless the board administrator says we can no longer do this I will probably continue to do it on the LIBERAL board, especially if it provides documentation for a point I am trying to make. Researchers and newspapers do it often. That said, here's another cut and paste quote, but don't know who said it:
The US has become the new Webster's definition of irony: Even though most Americans, most American lawmakers, and most American military commanders had long protested the usefulness of their presence in Iraq, ironically they still considered their own government a democracy.
This reminds me of Cheney commenting that basically he didn't care what the American people thought of the war or what they wanted. I thought we were supposed to be his boss.....
Thank you for your comments....... sm
You proved my point right here.
"As far as the "man on the street" interviews, it's obvious there are a lot of people in the United States who are ill informed and/or just ignorant, to the point it would be funny if it weren't so tragic. Otherwise, they would have known Obama's views on choice and Iraq..."
These are the very people who put Obama in office. These are the people who saw a charismatic young leader, just as the uninformed or misled people in other countries who do not know our issues and/or who have only been allowed to see what their governments want them to see on television.
I don't think France feels too "friendly" towards America/Bush right now, and it hasn't been too long ago that Mexico was rising up stating that Texas was still theirs and they planned on taking it back.
I do enjoy a good debate and hope that you or anyone else takes what I say here personally. I think we all have America's best interests at heart based on our own opinions but just come at it from different backgrounds/situations. Have a blessed day!
Most of these comments.......
are just about 5 years old or older.......Saddam lived in a dangerous neighborhood, I'm sure he wanted his neighbors to think he had truckloads of weapons. BUT, when the CIA could find no evidence of WMDs - their information was quashed and our govt outed a CIA agent in retribution (Valerie Plame) which is treason. It took years for the real truth of the matter to come to light........maybe that's why Clinton didn't rush on in there and hang Saddam......Iraq had nothing to do with 911 - now look at the cluster in Afghanistan that got left to simmer in the meantime.............sheesh......I blame Bush - it wasn't about WMDs (or they wouldn't have hidden the fact there were none) - it was about OIL.
Here are some comments about this
Some comments I read are:
"It can’t be understated what an insult this is to the American People, Sovereign (whether any individual Citizen understands this, flees from the responsibility for this or would change this) over their nation and its government. It is a betrayal, and may, indeed, be treasonous.
It is appropriate that Obama has, in bowing to a foreign potentate in this picture, shown his @ss to the American People; an act that would have been a capital offense had his position been reversed. It would have been inappropriate for him to genuflect before the British monarch, no matter how many neo-Tories there may be among us.
This particular potentate has, among his titles, acknowledgment of his status as keeper of the Holy Places of Islam, and thus singling out Abdullah of the Saudis for such a sign of respect should disturb, deeply, any American left who understands the United States and its history.
It strains credibility to believe someone representing State didn’t tell Obama what constituted a proper stance. He much have overruled that advice, and singled out this particular potentate for this gesture."
Another poster wrote -
I’ve read elsewhere that some people attempt to rationalize this bow-to-the-Saudi-King by Barack Obama as Obama somehow participating in “another country’s protocol” — which is rubbish given the Office that Barack Obama holds (the President of the United States of America bows to no other country, no ruler, to no one — this represents our nation, the U.S.A., as a sovereign nation subservient to no one else, no ruler, no other nation, our nation as a republic unto itself).
