'You Are a Pathetic Human Being, and You Should Be Ashamed of Yourself'
No, not Chris Matthews to Keith Olbermann. As noted here , that media odd couple have already begun to kiss and make up. Instead, it was Joe Scarborough who authored the line this morning, directing it at Obama spokesman Mark Bubriski. The cause of Joe's ire was this email statement Bubriski ...

    Well Buchanan says "If they do that, you end the moratorium on Rev. Jeremiah Wright, because Barack Obama's pastor and spiritual advisor for 15 years did run an anti-Semitic church, does run an anti-white church and has engaged in racist rants. And we were told that, look, this is off the table, those sort of things. And them to have them come up and, come after me, you open up somebody's associations?  You open those up. You open up all of yours.

    Jeremiah Wright and Obama's 20 year association with him should remain prominent in the public eye going into November. There are so many reasons to dislike Obama but just this one issue alone should scare the hell out of any reasonable person.

    I forgot to close the quotes in my previous comment.  The quote should have been closed at the end of the first paragraph.  The second paragraph consists of  my words.  Sorrry for the confusion.

Putting Ayers and Wright squarely back on the table
QandO — ... For instance, it appears that the Obama campaign went off half-cocked before checking out a rumor floated by Democratic Representative Robert Wexler. That rumor claimed Palin was a Pat Buchanan supporter. The campaign issued a press release which claimed that Palin was a Buchanan supporter and that Buchanan was a "nazi sympathizer". ...

Must see: Reporters at convention are “rabid” over Kos smears of Palin, say Brzezinski and Barnicle
Hot Air » Top Picks — ... now: What kind of “Change” candidate does that? Exit question: How would the VP coverage have gone if Obama hadn’t run, Hillary had won the nomination, and then surprised everyone by tapping him as VP? Wright and Rezko and Ayers and infanticide in rapid succession: Clearly , our media would conclude that this dangerously untested ingenue is too unknown a quantity to be a heartbeat away, with Tom Eagleton comparisons gleefully invoked starting, oh, 72 hours in.

Hardball With Sarah Palin
Ace of Spades HQ — ... right-to-life issues: "People were writing BABYKILLER on Faye's campaign signs just a few days before the election." Faye Palin lost the race to the candidate that Sarah backed, Dianne Keller, who is still mayor of Wasilla. It's good to know that she is not completely "nice." Principled, tough, and a balls-to-the-walls campaigner. But not nearly as treacly-sweet as she seems. More stuff: Biden concedes that serving as a governor is "no mean feat;" and this seems to be that Newsbusters-cut clip Allah pronounced "must watch." So I'm a-gonna watch it.

Tinfoil topper time
Neptunus Lex — ... chiefly in their own fevered imaginations, and whose purported excesses they use among themselves to whip themselves up to ever more repellent acts of self-destructive idiocy? Because if so, yeah, well done: Mission accomplished. Having thus set the hook, the kooks are left to their circular firing squads and self-immolation practice sessions while an unfortunate but very human tableu of violated family privacy is regretfully revealed to a sympathetic nation. As the band plays on.

Quote of the day
Sister Toldjah — ... Not only that, but let’s not forget one nasty, low road attack that did come from the Obama campaign, when Obama surrogate Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) and Obama spokesman Mark Bubriski, both reached for the gutter by insinuating that Gov. Palin was a “Nazi sympathizer” because she supposedly supported Pat Buchanan, who they both called a “Nazi sympathizer” (he’s not, and she didn’t support him). Bubriski has since ...

Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) compares Obama to Jesus on the House floor
Sister Toldjah — And it gets worse. Watch the video here. Here’s the transcript: “Jesus was a community organizer, Pontius Pilate a governor.” Cohen, who is Jewish, should know better than to make such an off the wall comparison. And no, I won’t even get into the debate on Pontius Pilate, but Cohen knows what he was saying by the remark and he should be ashamed of himself. Sounds suspiciously like what Obama surrogate Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) and Obama spokesman Mark Burinski strongly implied when they 1) falsely asserted that Pat Buchanan was a “Nazi ...

More on the “lipstick on a pig” controversy
Sister Toldjah — As The Usual Suspects continue to weigh in with their screams of outrage, a more serious discussions on Obama’s remarks have been going on at places like NRO’s Corner, where several of the writers there are urging the McCain campaign to move on from this controversy and stop routinely treating Gov. Palin like she’s a helpless victim. Now, I don’t think there’s any question that Gov. Palin has been given awful treatment not only by a relentless leftwing press, but also from far left liberals, all the way up to the Obama campaign. And by ...

Two race-baiting Democrats join hands together to launch another nasty attack on Gov. Palin
Sister Toldjah — ... I should also note this is the same type of attack launched on Gov. Palin by Obama spokesman Mark Bubriski and Obama surrogate Rep. Robert Wexler earlier this month. ...
