Right is right and wrong is wrong. B4B is often critical of those running against Senator Brownback. And we always back up our assertions with undeniable evidence. We may favor our candidate, but our reporting is always objective.
So we agree, and are glad to say so, with Mittens when he said “lighten up” about his posing for a picture with a supporter. The sign, in which the supporter exercises her G-d given First Amendment right, has riled supporters of Osama Obama and Chelsea’s mama. (Speaking of lightening up, that picture’s lighting is awful. It’s called a flash, folks, and it’s not expensive. Is that Romney or Biden?)
The former Massachusetts governor took heat over the weekend from one town-hall audience member for recently posing with a supporter who donned a sign saying “No to Osama, Obama and Chelsea’s Moma.”
Although we do think it’s a little cowardly of Mittens to segue from “lighten up” to this:
“I have a lot of pictures taken with people, Romney also said. “I don’t really spend all that much time looking at the signs and the T-shirts and the buttons. I don’t have anything to say about a sign somebody else was holding.”
“You know what? Lighten up slightly,” he added. “There are a lot of jokes out there. I’m not responsible for all the signs I see.”
Lighten up slightly? Stand up for your supporters, Mitt. If you can’t stand up for them, I can’t see you standing up for us.

Yes, Rommey is right. Those puking scum suckers on the left need to have a sense of humor. That lady was just teasing that wanna be terrorist Osma and that bull dyke Hitlery. With the left there is no such thing about freedom of speech.

Bj, you reatrded dirt-farmer, the only thing you’re good for is proving to society how completely idiotic a Southerner can become. And if you’re offended by that, you puking scum sucker, you need to have a sense of humour.

“[Ed Note: Name calling does not strengthen your point, whatever it is.]”
My point was that the supporters of this blog gleefully inulge in namecalling (Moonbat, Leftard, puking scum suckers), but you penalize others on namecalling. This should be obvious even to you as being terribly hypocritical. THAT was my point.
[Ed Note: Penalized? What are you talking about? If you’re referring to editing out the f-word or the s-word then cry me a river.]

ROTFL!
Isn’t it momma? I didn’t know that Chelsea had her own Museum of Modern Art. LOL
Comment by ChenZhen — July 23, 2007 @ 7:06 pm |
I don’t think the left is mad about the name calling it’s mad about the fact that a presidential candiate would pose with such a sign. It’s endorsing calling a dem canidate a terrorist. Despite the rhetoric from the left I don’t think we’ve seen a dem canidate pose with a sign that says “Don’t support the troops” or “Bush=hitler.”
If Romney had just said you know what “I screwed up I didn’t look at the sign, My fault.” I think the electorate could understand that instead he’s just extending the story and putting himself at risk against independent votors
Comment by Mike — July 23, 2007 @ 9:16 pm |
I agree with the sign, but Mitt Romney is still a RINO closet Dem Rastafarian. And a Mormon into the bargain. He’ll never make President, thank God.

Unfortunately, Sisyphus, he has more of the Conservative vote than Brownback.

More of the CINO vote, maybe.

“More of the CINO vote, maybe.”
… right. Well, that makes sense. Maybe your ilk are purely responsible for Brownback’s 3 percent. Oh wait, you’re ACTUALLY the majority, but you’re either too lazy or dumb to vote for Brownback, which is why he will fail.
Comment by Adam Nelson — July 24, 2007 @ 7:46 am |
Lol, all you people DO is sling idiotic names and insults around.
Those words are better than calling someone a moonbat or a treefrog. I mean, those are just silly.

I do not mean to be rude..but your grammar makes it a bit harder to understand your point 🙂

I’m not so sure what’s freaking Brandon out, and causing him to explode. Perhaps I should have said “very critical?”

“…we always back up our assertions with undeniable evidence.

I have yet to see much (if any) undeniable evidence or objective reporting. That’s what makes this so funny!
Comment by Brandon Explosion — July 24, 2007 @ 12:56 pm |
I still don’t get it, but I’m glad you enjoyed it, I guess, and hope that we will be able to bring you around to our way of thinking.
It is through our well thought out and factual arguments and insightful commentary that we gain converts and more supporters for Sam Brownback.
There’s more every day.
Comment by Psycheout — July 24, 2007 @ 1:41 pm |
I can’t believe how clueless some of you are. The sign was not equating Obama with a terrorist. It was a joke about Ted Kennedy’s flub up with Obama’s name when he was introducing him last year. He called him “Obama Osama.” After that it was on youtube, Rush’s radio show etc… It’s everywhere. Go to youtube and search Kennedy Obama Osama. It’s a joke. For people who call our president Hitler ona daily basis and slander our trops by calling them baby killers or coold-blooded murderers — the libs sure have thin skin! They can’t take it – but they can dish it out.
Also, Sen Switchback against, for and against amnesty again in 14 mintues or less, has a lot of nerve lying about the Boy Scouts and Mitt. That falsehood has been refuted a hundred times. Check out EvangelicalsForMitt dot com and search boy scouts. David French also has many wonderful rebuttals about all the Mass Resistance lies told about Romney. Just pathetic and sad that Brownback stoops so low to use that junk to smear another conservative candidate.
Comment by Kate — July 24, 2007 @ 2:29 pm |
Just wanted to thank Mr. Brownback’s supporter for making an attempt at being civil and Christ-like in his approach. I’m saddened to read that so many others are unable to make the connection between civility and the Christian ethic. As a Romney supporter and a Mormon, I would be very satisfied with a President Brownback. Short of a miracle, and I believe strongly in miracles, I fear the country will not be so well served.
Comment by VSteven — July 24, 2007 @ 2:33 pm |
A cloture vote is not an amnesty vote, Kate darling. So don’t be a liar and take your RomneyBot comments elsewhere, like EfM. I notice that your precious Evangelicals for Mitt does not allow comments, unlike us, and they recently had a laughable meltdown over Senator Brownback.
So I’ll take your advice with a salt block. Better yet, I’ll just cry “I’VE HAD IT!” and ignore you.
Comment by Psycheout — July 24, 2007 @ 2:38 pm |
It’s so unhinged of MittenHeads to come here and fling poo in a comment thread to a post where I defend their Mormon Messiah, but that’s just the kind of people they are. They can’t help themselves.
Don’t worry OvenMitts, it won’t happen again.
Comment by Psycheout — July 24, 2007 @ 2:40 pm |
I was sincerely thanking Psycheout for his/her fairness. If I’ve offended you it was NOT intentional. I considered your comments spot on. I too would have preferred “There are a lot of jokes out there. I’m not responsible for all the signs I see.” This is not his first misstep and will probably not be his last. I don’t have to be run over by a freight train to know when I’m not welcome. I’ll go away now … but thanks for letting me be heard.
Comment by VSteven — July 24, 2007 @ 2:59 pm |
Ooops … I mean’t I would have preferred that he did not say … etc. I would have much preferred “I screwed up I didn’t look at the sign, My fault” that another person has suggested. That might have defused the issue.
Comment by VSteven — July 24, 2007 @ 3:05 pm |
Hmmm, I’m not sure where the “freight train” comment came from, VSteven. All are welcome to share their point of view at B4B. Just no spam and no off topic blog pimping. Oh, and no foul language.
Update: Oh, now I get it. I was directing my venom at Kate, not you. Your first comment had not appeared yet. Sometimes it takes awhile for our moderation team to get to the comments. Sorry for the confusion.
Comment by Psycheout — July 24, 2007 @ 3:12 pm |
You’re a gentleman … It’s what I would expect from a Brownback supporter.
Comment by VSteven — July 24, 2007 @ 3:23 pm |
Even ignoring the hate and vitriol thrown at us on a daily basis from our critics, that was a very nice comment. I may print it and frame it. Thanks, VSteven. 🙂
Comment by Psycheout — July 24, 2007 @ 3:27 pm |
This thread is so masturbatory it’s not even funny. Oh wait, no, it is. And Psycheout, I encourage you to keep trying to ‘turn me to your side’. I’m not so stubborn as to disallow myself to change my oppinions, but if you have anything to say that can accomplish that I’ll be mighty surprised.
Comment by Brandon Explosion — July 24, 2007 @ 5:56 pm |
Mitt Romney is a PHONY double talker! He changes his mind according to which way the wind blows. NOT a man of principle, people!
