Nuance: Obama almost says Clarence Thomas didn’t have enough experience to serve
Hot Air » Top Picks — Nuance: Obama almost says Clarence Thomas didn’t have enough experience to serve posted at 11:11 pm on August 16, 2008 by Allahpundit Send to a Friend | printer-friendly And we know what horrible outcomes can arise when people without experience are placed in positions of great power. InstaGlenn accuses him of actually saying it but that’s not true: Watch him catch himself mid-sentence, the first fateful syllable of the word “experience” already out of his mouth, before he stops short and switches gears by basically calling Thomas a moron instead (at least, “at the time”) — an aspersion reinforced a moment later by the implicit ...

Obama: Clarence Thomas Is Just Too Dumb
Riehl World View — I realize everyone is focusing on Obama's "exp..." gaffe tonight with Rick Warren. But look for something else in this brief clip via Hot Air. It seems fairly obvious to me that what Obama actually did, whether he intended to, or not, is imply that Clarence Thomas is simply dumb. At the end of the clip he cites Scalia as something of an ...

Obama Almost, But Not Quite, Accuses Justice Clarence Thomas Of Not Having Enough Experience
Say Anything — Because it would be bad to put someone without a lot of experience into a position of great power, wouldn’t it? Notice how Obama catches himself before he actually says Thomas doesn’t have enough experience to sit on the SCOTUS.  That sort of makes this gaffe worse than if he’d just come right out and finished that thought, doesn’t it? If he’d finished saying what he was saying we’d all laugh at how clueless the comment is coming from a not-even-one-full-term Senator who is running for the highest ...

Some reactions to the Saddleback Forum.
Althouse — My live-blog post on the Saddleback Forum has almost 200 comments, and after 200 comments, they get a little hard to read. (You have to click on "post a comment," then scroll to the bottom and click "newer.") So let me start a new post. For substance, I'll point to Andrew Sullivan's live-blogging at the end of the McCain part: 9.57 pm. McCain's evolution into a candidate who knows how to stroke the Christianist base is somewhat impressive. It was a little canned at times, but it will work with evangelicals. All in all, this struck me as pretty much a draw....And here's a segment of the Obama ...

You’ve Gotta Be Fucking Shittin’ Me! … NBC’s Mitchell: McCain “Cheated” In Last Night’s Forum??? - With Videos
Pat Dollard | Young Americans — Here we go … The lead up to the November election, which leads me to believe Hussein WILL lose the election to McCain. The mantra of “cheating” is poking its head up through the political MSM sludge. The fact that Obama refuses to meet with McCain in the open forums of Townhall Meetings during the campaign is quite telling about the liberal and MSM candidate for POTUS. Unless Hussein can put his answers into a lovely rainbow arrangement of ‘prepared’ meaningless and weightless words that would make used car and encyclopedia salesmen weep, he ain’t having none. So, when ...

Doubting Thomas - Moment Of Truth Gaffe Video
Pat Dollard | Young Americans — Previous here and here and here What exactly is Barack Obama’s problem with Clarence Thomas? By Kathryn Jean Lopez - (NRO) Asked to pick his least favorite Supreme Court justice on Saturday, Barack Obama named Clarence Thomas. Rick Warren, pastor of the evangelical Saddleback Church, asked, “which existing Supreme Court justice would you not have nominated?” Obama responded: “I don’t think he was an exp . . . ” — he then caught himself — “a strong enough jurist or legal thinker at the time for that elevation.” ...
