Quote of the day

Ed Morrissey:

You know, I fail to see how this heals the oceans, helps Michelle Obama’s kids, or has anything to do with why people should vote for or against John McCain. Then again, I’m not the blogosphere’s cheerleader-in-chief for a candidate with no executive experience, no foreign-policy experience, no military experience, and a grand total of three years in national office with no legislative track record. If I was, I’d be tempted to find distractions like the tooth color of a man whose mouth and the rest of his body got tortured and beaten for five and a half years in service to this country.

That was written in response to one of the burning issues of the day that was blogged about earlier by Kos himself. The “issue”? John McCain’s teeth. Yes, we’re in familiar territory. Thankfully, as Noel Sheppard notes, many of the commenters are taking Kos to task for his idiocy in writing such a trivial, mean-spirited post (but then again, don’t most posts there fit that description?).

What else is the far left snickering about today? Sam Stein at The HuffPo has hilariously asserted that John McCain “ripped off” Barack Obama’s slogan and logo, and has the screencap that supposedly “proves” it:

This is clearly designed to one-up Obama on his constant use of the phrase “believe in.”

If this is really a “rip off,” I wonder where his outrage is over Obama’s rip off of the Comfort Inn logo?

Change You Can Take Comfort In(n)

Well?

   Actually both resemble the ATT logo more than somewhat.

   Like we didn’t know this was coming: Young voters: Obama’s race as an asset, non-issue

   Because the enlightened young people, you see, aren’t racists like their elders:

   “Rather than just being tolerant of race, we embrace and accept our differences,” says Alisha Thomas Morgan, a 29-year-old black state lawmaker in Georgia. “We all recognize that racism still exists. But I think younger people are much more willing to get over it.”

   But while the report offers no evidence that older voters are motivated by racism, it does quote Obama supporters who are motivated by race. The irony seems to be completely lost on the reporter:

   Certainly, the chance to vote for a black man is part of the appeal, Morgan says. “It’s fine if they vote for him because he’s African-American, as long as they don’t stop there,” she says. “But I would be voting for Obama whether he was white or whatever. The fact that he is African-American is a plus.”

   So if you’re not voting for Obama, especially if you’re over 40, it’s probably because you still have racism ingrained in you.

   Get used to this nonsense – we’re going to hear it for another 5 months. And for four years after that if he wins.
