Slog - Comments on More on the Seattle Obamarama http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/12/more_on_the_obamarama I'm running out of time (and steam) after a long... I don't know how many days. So I'm going to go back on my promise to post more about last night's Obama event this afternoon. I'll probably do it tomorrow. But in the meantime, check out this take on Obama's Showbox event that's been posted over at General Bonkers—in which the General gets in the face of some annoying Ron Paul supporters, talks back to some Stranger shit talking, and floats a second-hand report that Obama, for all his charisma and magnetism, has notably small hands....

He's barely even a republican.

Ron Paul -is- a Republican. The neo-conservative, Christian Coalition bunch are not. He's a classic Goldwater/Taft Republican, and whether you're an extreme wingnut or a barking moonbat, I hope you can agree that his voice is the most refreshing from that side of the aisle.

And I wouldn't be so quick to call him a joke. Unless of course the Constitution is a joke.

So that was a big fat mistake. But I was at that event and saw some of the Ron Paul sign-wavers saying Obama was thinking of nuking Iran. Say what? And another one was slamming Obama for being against slavery reparations. Which I cannot imagine Ron Paul is for.
Upshot: People are crazy.
