How Many Groups Can Obama Offend???

Well, the Obama campaign may want to rethink its latest ad strategy.  After all, how many groups can one candidate and their supporters offend before there is no one left to vote for him:


Middle America - they "cling to their guns and religions"


Senior Citizens - McCain is too old


The Handicapped - How dare Gov Palin have a Downs syndrome child - abortion or retirement, those were her choices (this from the "pro-choice" crowd); how dare Sen McCain - despite war injuries -  not be a user of keyboards


Women - betraying Alice Palmer, dissing Hillary, "lipstick comments", insinuations that women with children should stay home


Any woman who has ever conceived before marriage - that scarlet letter thing wasn't too effective, Obama had to call off the attack dogs


Pro-Life - women not only have the right to kill those babies in utero, by golly, if the child survives the abortion procedure, we'll still get rid of them


Pro-choice - this issue is "above my pay grade"


Jewish Community - associations with Rev. Wright and Farrakhan raise some serious questions. . .especially after twenty years! 


Muslims - get those girls in head scarves OUT of my photo op


People of Faith - good grief, how dare Sarah Palin pray that she do God's will. . .Obama's prayer in the Wall in Jerusalem (fortuitously leaked to the press) doesn't count for a candidate who seems to have no core values except "Photo ops count"


And - remarkably enough even African Americans - Hillary supporter of color were called Uncle Tom at the Democratic convention


Feel free to add more - my non-handicapped arm has keyboard fatigue!

but as we've learned with the media, things can be distorted to look like lies, or truths, depending on which side you are on. sort of like this: where do we know the truth is and the lies are?

And in my opinion, most of these "truths" are nothing more than conspiracy theories, until the person admits to the offense directly, then they are nothing more than conspiracies that media and crazy people like to believe. I believe in the innocent until proven guilty theory, not guilty until proven innocent.

How many groups can the GoOPers incorrectly and mendaciously suggest Obama has offended?

'Cause if it were anywhere near the number you've listed, the guy'd be polling somewhere between pond scum and herpes.

Yet Senator St. Maverick "Bomb-Bomb" McBush and his sidekick, Caribou Barbie, are barely even with old "Offensive" Obama.

Go figure.

Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has sturck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling Begging

It may your opinion, but your opinion may be based upon inaccurate information.

No. Y'see, some Republicans believe that, when it comes to Republican statements, only God can tell if they're lying.

However - as I'm sure you're aware - back here on a place we fondly like to refer to as "Planet Earth," the inhabitants of said watery orb ("humans") have another way to tell whether those same Republicans are lying: their lips are moving.

I realize he is quite inexperienced, but even his most ardent supporters would have to admit Obama is making missteps with a lot of groups:


After all,
