I Have a Dream

Forty-five years ago today:

Today, a man who was judged by the content of his character will accept the Democratic Party's nomination for the presidency of the United States of America. And, yet, we still have to deal with this.

Did you see this? Re the "commentator" (racist hatemonger) at the link above?

Craig's most recent book is "Black Gold Stranglehold: The Myth of Scarcity and the Politics of Oil," which he co-authored with WND columnist Jerome R. Corsi.

Who is behind Corsi, I wonder?

And if you follow thru the links in the bio, you find out Craig sells gold. Seems like a pretty clear example of Disaster Capitalism to me.

wow.
It must take Craig Smith hours to put on his clothes in the morning. I mean, with the rainbow colored wig, the red nose, the giant shoes, the polka-dot jumper, and the squirting flower, never mind the greasepaint, you're talking more time in front of the mirror than Liza Minelli.

Also, it must be awfully hard to commute to work on a teensy-weensy unicycle, but I guess the caliope music is pretty soothing.

John Mccain Called his wife WHAT??

Re: I Have a Dream (none / 0)

...adding, Craig's article is easier to read with this playign the background.

Just sayin'...

What exactly did you expect from World Net Daily?

Well, for him Bush has been great. He did more to promote this asswipe's gold scam than anyone managed in decades. Funny how that happens when you destroy the dollar's credibility worldwide. This guy is right at home among the rest of the scam artists that advertise on his site: bogus weightloss, colonic "cleaning", debt leeches, and anti-American ideologs. Guess they all know a sucker magnet when they see one.

Craig's article made my gorge rise. What a moron! I'm surprised that his computer didn't self-destruct from all the vitriol.

On a good note, I am so glad to be witness to history being made tonight as Obama accepts the nomination, echoing the hope and promise Martin Luther King Jr made all those years ago. For the naysayers and haters like Craig, I say STFU and go live your miserable lives somewhere else.

It might behoove members of the media to remind everyone that McCain voted against Martin Luther King Jr's day on the national calendar.
