Kicking off next week, the Democratic National Convention is expected to be more star-studded than the Oscars.
The names coming out to see/hear golden boy Barack Obama? Ben Affleck, Josh Brolin, Annette Bening, Spike Lee, Anne Hathaway, Susan Sarandon, Richard Schiff, Charlize Theron and Kerry Washington.
Musical acts will include James Taylor and Kanye West. Vanity Fair is hosting a party.
Just how big is the soirée? Barry Levinson is reportedly considering making a documentary about it. No, seriously.
And lastly, a more unlikely star has voiced his support for B.Rock — Toby Keith. While out promoting his new movie Beer For My Horses, the country crooner said: “I think he’s the best Democratic candidate we’ve had since Bill Clinton.”

So basically everyone from Hollywood is showing up short of Carrot Top and Mini Me? Give me a break! These celebs are doing the Democratic Party no favors by attaching their names.
^ so we should persecute Barack for being well liked?
No problem with all these people helping with the democratic cause:
there is a common goal; to remove the hawks and their predatory policies that broke all that was decent from the USA.
Of course republicans are trying their hardest by reducing all to name calling contest: how deep they are.
The really scary part is that the ones that have voted are so simple minded that actually buy all these logic of bullying, praying and name calling as the fundament of politics for humanity: half brained civility that has this country on the brink of extinction: No body needs or wants anything with the USA anymore, thanks to: THE REPUBLICANS
Obama ALL THE WAY!!!!!!
What ever happens in your country…please elect someone who is about peace and harmony. No more war…dont stay anywhere for a 100 years. The US is on the decline because it spends $500 billion on a war for no reason. Do the right thing and save your country. Mr. Obama is the way to go!
The half ass “trues” from the republicans : war is good, megachurches are the best thing for you, oil drilling is the future: cutting taxes (taking it from public schools) is good for “small businesses” (yeah right the ones where CEOs make 400 times the salary of an employeee). Smart people, aren’t they? SELFISH BASTARDS!
republicans out!
you always do the best job of calling out fear mongering and name calling politics and then making a complete mockery of yourself by doing so with your own posts.
especially post #6! right on the issues there. no name calling, all facts. actually, almost NO facts. all fear mongering, stereotyping, emotional outbursts.
it’s really annoying knowing how many of you there are out there. and to think how much i was brainwashed like you just a few yrs ago. almost everything you said can be absolutely devastated once you step outside of whatever media/public school/hollywood/university/socialist worker—echo chamber you dwell in.
the FACT is that obama has hidden his ENTIRE life record, while speaking in platitudes and ambiguities to reel in young fools, america haters, felons, america’s enemies, and the ignorant and it’s starting to fall apart.
then again, he may win as he’ll never have to release his actual birth cert, and the chicago U libraries are not releasing his deep associations with a homegrown terrorist. AND NOBODY APPARENTLY CARES because they’re so blinded by hate that they love this man who they don’t even know.
i suppose you think millions of dollars of illegal campaign contributions that are over the limit and from oversees means nothing and you don’t care that the FEC doesn’t care is fair huh?

yes adam, if you are not a republican then you are a communist! That’s some thinking!What republicans might call heavy weight reasoning!
GOT NEWS FOR YA!: the cold war it’s over: communist and hippies did not reincarnated in “haters of america”
Your paranoid theory of Linking Obama to international terrorism goes hand in hand with a fundamentalist from the many church denominations in america. Go Republicans Go! Keep the demency up!
more distortions and lies.
try to keep up hater.
USA envy…
Watching Obama off the teleprompter and crumble like a cookie at the Faith Forum against Mccain was really, PRICELESS.***************************************
Illegal Immigration is causing more global warming , why is that ignored by the media ???
^^^^^^ Not to mention draining our resources and costing taxpayers billions.
Canada eh, must be getting your anti american view from both our biased media and the koolaid drinking nutroots.
Viva Mark Steyn for leader of Canada……..
All sizzle no steak.
Someone tell obambi’s campaign manager that self righteous celebutards will be the kiss of death to Obambi .
Many canadians love the USA , they even live here during the winter.
Dumb Celebs didn’t they learn anything from the last election ?
“Illegal Immigration is causing more global warming”
Can you get more republican -stupid-?
keep triple posting to give any weight to your EMPTY mentality of senseless fear.
Faith forum? who cares!!! the Taliban? The mormons? The megachurches? Dumbass!
Bambi Boy, is a closet shit head.
He is to good and to “proud” to release anything concerning his background.
And stoooooooooopid people dont care about his past….and they want him in office.
WHY?
Why would NORMAL people vote in someone that is HIDING thier past?
NORMAL people, wouldnt vote for a “man” that hides his past.
I sure in the hell wouldnt vote for no dipshit that hides his past.
That alone is a warning for everyone.
WAKE UP PEOPLE!
The Democratic Party platform is like a bag of pork rinds. You never know what high-fat liberal government morsel you’re gonna get.
This Barack Obama brainchild would serve as a permanent, taxpayer-backed pipeline to Democratic partisan outfits masquerading as public-interest do-gooders. This George Soros Slush Fund would be political payback in spades. Obama owes much of his Chicago political success to financial support from radical, left-wing billionaire and leading “social entrepreneur” Soros.
Even more troubling is how the Democratic Party/Obama plan would siphon untold millions or billions of public tax dollars into the Soros empire without taxpayer recourse. Obama promises “accountability” measures to ensure the money is spent wisely. But who would assess effectiveness of the spending? Why, experts in the social entrepreneurship community, of course.
Obama’s old friends at the Chicago-based nonprofit now take in 40 percent of their revenues from American taxpayers. They raked in tens of millions in federal antipoverty grants while some of their operatives presided over massive voter fraud and others were implicated in corporate shakedowns and mortgage scams across the country.
Soros has donated at least $150,000 to the group, according to Investor’s Business Daily, and “heads a secretive rich-man’s club called ‘Democracy Alliance’ that has doled out $20 million to activist groups like ACORN.”
Once the spigot is turned on, there’s no turning back.
Good Day!

Also, I will add: Last week raised important questions about whether Barack Obama is strong enough to be president. On the domestic political front, he showed incredible weakness in dealing with the Clintons, while on foreign and defense questions, he betrayed a lack of strength and resolve in standing up to Russia’s invasion of Georgia.
This two-dimensional portrait of weakness underscores fears that Obama might, indeed, be a latter-day Jimmy Carter.
Consider first the domestic and political. Bill and Hillary Clinton have no leverage over Obama. Hillary can’t win the nomination. She doesn’t control any committees. If she or her supporters tried to disrupt the convention or demonstrate outside, she would pay a huge price among the party faithful. If Obama lost - after Hillary made a fuss at the convention - they would blame her for all eternity (just like Democrats blame Ted Kennedy for Carter’s defeat). But, without having any leverage or a decent hand to play, the Clintons bluffed Obama into amazing concessions.
If Obama can’t stand up to the Clintons, after they have been defeated, how can he measure up to a resurgent Putin who has just achieved a military victory? When the Georgia invasion first began, Obama appealed for “restraint” on both sides. He treated the aggressive lion and the victimized lamb even-handedly. His performance was reminiscent of the worst of appeasement at Munich, where another dictator got away with seizing another breakaway province of another small neighboring country, leading to World War II.
After two days, Obama corrected himself, spoke of Russian aggression and condemned it. But his initial willingness to see things from the other point of view and to buy the line that Georgia provoked the invasion by occupying a part of its own country betrayed a world view characterized by undue deference to aggressors.
We know so little about Obama. His experience is so thin that it’s hard to tell what kind of a president he’d be. While he nominally has been in the Senate for four years, he really only served the first two and consumed the rest of his tenure running for president and disregarding his Senate duties.
So we have no choice but to scrutinize his current transactions and statements for some clue as to who he is and what he’d do. In that context, his reaction to the first real-time foreign-policy crisis he faced as a nominee leaves his strength in doubt.
Is Obama an over-intellectualizing Hamlet who is incapable of decisive, strong action? With Iran on the verge of acquiring nuclear weapons and Russia resurgent, there isn’t much room for on-the-job learning.
Once Again, Good Day!

You should credit the source when you’re going to cut and paste someone else’s work, Harley.
WTF? The server keeps eating my posts…
Ah, okay, figured it out. You can’t post website addresses here. Anyway, those blocks of text are direct c&ps of Michelle Malkin and NY Post articles. C’mon Harley. Did you really think ppl were going to think that this was your writing?
Um - - I agree with the WANNA BE HARLEY.
Thats not her - - look at the end alt code dumb ass.
Oh well, a shame for the obama fans that the rest of america has seen through the empty suit that this obama man is. He is not going to be hailed as a glory boy, even if he does scrape through to win this election.
John McCain has been looking more and more sincere and presidential in recent weeks, guess this is showing in the polls, Over the last week, we’ve seen Sen. Obama’s lead in the poll of polls cut in half.
(looking dazed)
I haven’t been on this board in almost a week.
And personally, who cares who posted the truth besides snipe.
I don’t see that arrogant asshole (REPUBLICANS OUT) trying to buck it.
And as far as my writings snipe, when I have to take my time and honestly do it right the first time, I only use correct punctuation and spelling where I get paid to do so. This blog doesn’t give me a red cent so therefore, do not boast on something you surely can’t comprehend in my little accountant world.
But, everything that “wanna be” typed, is so correct and true.
Buck that.
Sorry for the delay in responding, AnonymousHarley, but this board was timing out like a mother last night. In any case, I wasn’t commenting on your spelling; I actually know some brilliant ppl who can’t spell worth a damn. Having said that, it ain’t spelling that separates your writing from Malkin’s. I mean, you obviously made an effort with post 29, but it still reads like Japanese English (”therefore, do not boast on something you surely can’t comprehend in my little accountant world”???).
.
Anyway, I think it’s highly likely that the person who c&p’d the text doesn’t fully understand the content or references it contains. In this case, maybe it was you and maybe it wasn’t. ::shrugs:: IDK. I can only go by your posting history.
