Live From Austin This Weekend — Hillary Supporters vs. Obamaniacs

This weekend, downtown Austin will be swarming with more drunk idiots than usual when the Texas State Democratic Convention roles into town to swoon over how much they loves them some Obama and lament how they all live in Conservative Texas cities rather than the Liberal utopia of Austin.

I’m betting there will be some Hillary folks who aren’t in quite such a good mood though.

Which makes this email from the Texans for Obama campaign very interesting:

To help encourage party unity, we’re joining up with our Clinton friends to host a “Unity Pub Crawl” tonight to welcome statewide convention delegates to Austin. Both the Obama and Clinton campaigns are hosting parties at nearby bars on Red River Street, and the goal is to encourage Texas Democrats to intermingle and kick-start the unity process.

Great idea. Let’s mix a bunch of drunk and angry Hillary supporters with a bunch of drunk and gloating Obamaniacs.

I’m sure there will be some kind of kicking going on…I’m just not so sure it will be the “start of the unity process.”

Might be a fun time to venture downtown with my video camera this weekend.

I can almost smell the odor of alcohol, sweat, and patchouli oil.
If I need to see a freak show that badly, I’ll just go to the airport and watch a SFO flight deplane.

Robbie- it’s been a heated primary but I doubt there is much risk of many Democrats not voting for Obama. (Well, less risk than is suggested on the Republican side by the 25% protest votes against McCain in the final primaries …)

Yo, N2L: Remind yourself of your superiority complex the next time you’re tripping over yourself to condemn “liberal elitism”….

Yo, Preston, liberalism is a mental disorder, which is why I refer to them as self-annointed elites…big difference.

I doubt there is much risk of many Democrats not voting for Obama

Really?

Well, it looks like over half the country plans on going mad this fall. I’m sure it will be a tremendous burden for you to carry that torch of sanity all by your lonesome.

N2L won’t be carrying the torch all by his lonesome. There are still a few of us left.

McCain is now about two feet into his six-foot grave:

WASHINGTON — A top adviser to Senator John McCain says Mr. McCain believes that President Bush’s program of wiretapping without warrants was lawful, a position that appears to bring him into closer alignment with the sweeping theories of executive authority pushed by the Bush administration legal team.

Yeah, the way Hillary laid into Obama- by endorsing him for President- I bet you can expect some real fireworks.

Left by Preston on June 7th, 2008 at 7:55 pm

HAH!
That was quite an endorsement she gave Ol’B-HO.

Hillary did go on to say that Barack Obama answered the question as to whether an African-American could be president, but she conveniently left him out of her Commander-in-Chief comments. Nor did she in any other way in the course of her speech praise Obama’s qualifications or good judgement in the areas of national security or foreign policy. It was, by omission, a slight, if not a stab, on the single greatest challenge facing the Dem nominee.

Left by no2liberals on June 7th, 2008 at 11:06 pm

Did you watch the speech? There is no way to spin it as a qualified endorsement. And her supporters loved it.

Left by Preston on June 8th, 2008 at 9:46 am

Oh yeah, I watched it, as ridiculous as it was.
I mean, an endorsement by this woman is a good thing?
Time for an eye rinse.

High brow attacks on her looks and your opinion of her in general are pretty irrelevant to the post’s assertion that her supporters and Obama’s are headed for some sort of brawl on the streets of Austin.

Ohhhhh….so now you wish to return to the topic?

Two Cheers for Obama.

Yasmin Alibhai-Brown: Calling Obama black is an insult to his mother.

Barack Obama is not black. He is the first mixed-race politician ever to get this far in the onerous and arduously testing American electoral process.
————————————
I have had several emails from mixed-race readers and contacts – some interviewed in Mixed Feelings, my book on miscegenation. They seethe that yet again, one of “theirs” has opted for a fraudulent brand. One suggests that expediency, if not honour, should persuade him to come out: “Maybe,” says one, “he should calculate how many votes he would gain if he embraces his whiteness as much as his blackness. Some of those backward Appalachians need to hear about his mum and gran, their consistency when his dad buggered off.”

Maybe that argument may just move the next – one hopes – first multiracial President of the USA.

Now where have we heard someone say something along these lines?
Oh…I remember, it was me.

Got something you want to say?
