    Well yeah, if those words are overshadowed by the person being a raving lunatic who thoughtlessly invades countries and puts millions in concentration camps.

    I'm not getting the Hitler analogy.

    Hitler was popular.
    Hitler wanted to exterminate the Jews.
    Obama is popular.
    Therefore Obama wants to bring death to Israel.

    Duh!

    Sometimes I wonder if people are just being deliberately malicious with statements like that or whether they're just too intellectually deprived to recognize their own absurdity.

    The Hitler reference is bewildering considering that 2 Hitler worshipping youths wanted to go on a 88 black killing spree and 14 black decapititation and end it with Obama's death.

    Maybe it has something to do with the fact Biden has forgotten more that Palin knows. All she has to do is open her mouth and you realize she has nothing inside. Plus, if some of McCain's people are calling her a "diva" and "whack job", that doesn't speak very well.

    You've lost your mind -- the desperation is getting to you.

    CRAZY ZOMBIE ALERT

    The Democratic party has never been more divided. Republicans hate Obama. I can't stand the guy. Who the frick is he 'inspiring to bring together' other than his own core supporters?

    Yet another empty platitude with no actual realty to stand behind it.

    This is HILARIOUS!!!! The Democratic party is hitting on ALL ****ING CYLINDERS. That's why they are going to have the presidency and a fillibuster proof Congress.

    The Republican party jumped ship on their president LONG ago. They are currently jumping ship on their current candidate. Palin is jumping ship on her running mate. There is no leadership or vision for the GOP.

    America has stopped drinking the fear Kool-aid and it is about damn time.

    LOL, he didn't like McCain either before this election cycle.

    Btw, Taddle_Jorge is lying his face off. The Repubes don't hate Obama, they hate losing to him.

    Oh, I think some like T_J have revved up some genuine hate -- it's one of the best tools for extremists. Where lies this groundwater of hatred and fear? That's the interesting question. Can it really just be a 3% bump in taxes? Doubt it.

    Back to the topic...

    I just finished watching. That was stunning and just really moving.

    We get so tied up in the issues. Abortion. Tax policies. Energy policies. On and on.

    Barack Obama is the first man I have seen that has successfully transcended the issues. He connects on a very deep level. It's hard for you not to get a little emotional when you watch a 72 year old man have to go get a job at Wal-Mart because, despite having no debt and a good retirement plan in place, his wife's medical bills are skyrocketing while his home's value is plummeting. Barack Obama is a unique leader at a time when the nation is suffering from a crisis of leadership. I surely hope and pray that his tenure in office marks the beginning of a new dawn for America.

    Those who haven't watched it should. It is extremely well done. Even if you're a Republican, it's worth watching. You may not agree with him or vote for him, but these stories he shares are real stories that need to be told.
