Pretty dumb for sure. They really are just spouting rubbish and in a very aggressive way. Reminds me of the old National Front vs Anti-Nazi League days.

I think part of the problem is that in the States candidates have something like 5 or 6 months of solid campaigning (if not more) before the elections, whereas here in the UK they campaign for 5 weeks and that's that.

IMO that means that there is less time for resentments to build, badmouthing to be done and mud to be slung at each other through tv ads and the like. Also I don't believe organisations other than the parties themselves are allowed to fund advertising either, which makes a big difference. Each party has a certain amount of airtime allocated to make their point.

People would love 5 week elections here. Everyone keeps moaning and wishing the election is over already, and bear in mind, this actually started 20 months ago before the primaries.

Personally, I'm worried for Obama and his family's safety. I just want to tell him to not wander random neighborhoods anymore for fear of another RFK-type shooting.

the bongo who runs www.thebluesite.com couldn't see how the guy with the monkey was being racist!!!

Oh god, I got an email a few months ago comparing Michelle Obama to an ape, and the person who sent it thought it was just a silly joke, and another person got angry when I pointed out it was racist.
