Bucco, sorry I don't see your point here. The RNC has done and will do much more name calling than these few comments. They have already attacked Obama's family and his religion. Have you forgotten all this?

Chelsea, want to make a quick reply to you as I have been out all day...MY POINT was really aimed at the comments that you and VILLAGESKAHUNA made when you began this thread...something like....watch the firworks or something like that...anyway, it made me think that you two expected those that DISAGREED with you to give you a hard time.
My point was that the only "fireworks", ie. slamming of anyone came from you and those who seemed to support you and those who opposed your views were calm, reasonable and made their point without any making fun or slamming anyone. I have never nor will I ever go after anyone personally...nor do I or will I make fun of candidates, parties, etc whether I agree or disagree with them. Thus I am very sensitive to this point and notice it and what I posed was alluding to the fact that the fireworks you expected came only from those that agreed with you.
I dont care for those who make fun of others ESPECIALLY in this campaign.
I will add concerning your comment about "The RNC has done and will do much more name calling than these few comments. They have already attacked Obama's family and his religion. Have you forgotten all this" You obviously feel that the Democratic party is clean and does not do this...I will just inform you that is not true and could do a complete thesis on the state of political campaigns in this country..if you think that KOS and MOVEON talk about Gov Palin protecting her daughter by lying about whose baby is was was done and nobody in the Democratic party knew it, you had better take off your rose colored glasses.
I want to make clear...both parties do it and it is a shame...I, personally, just do not like it when it is made to appear to be a one way street.
In that vein, you know how I feel about Sen Obama's background and training, and I have read and heard a number of credible reports saying that there is sort of an unspoken agreement to try and stay away from this area at this point. I have no problem with and have never questioned Sen Obama's character...be clear on that...it is his idealogy that bothers me.
In any case, rumors abound that what they are doing to Gov Palin on a personal level may make the unspoken agreement go by the board.....again, please do not think that the KOS's and MOVEONS operate on their very own...they dont. I mention them because I believe KOS was the source of the nasty stuff this time.
Again and just to make it clear...I have never questioned Sen Obama's character..I have never made light of him or Sen BIden..it is based truely on what I consider to be radical idealogy.
This became a long short reply

but again the post last night was just to point out where the "fireworks" and personal attacks were coming from and not from what I think you expected !
