This is what Democrats look like when they get it

They spam my blog with anti-gay crap and think I won't notice... I not only notice and delete it all, I donate another hundred bucks to No on 8/Equality for All.

They spam my friend Travis' blog and we do the same thing there, along with a couple dozen of his friends. Homophobe who knows how to use the Google: One nasty comment. Donations to No on 8: $600 and climbing.

Wingnut wack job Michelle Bachmann goes on Hardball and channels Joe McCarthy, saying Barack Obama is "anti-American" and oh, by the way.... so are all the Democrats in Congress and there ought to be an investigation to expose them. Overnight, the left dumps over a hundred grand into the coffers of her opponent, Democrat El Tinklenberg, taking him from around $4000 raised to, as of this morning, $111,286. (Go thou and do likewise.)

McCain picks Queen of the Crazies Sarah Palin to become his vice-presidential nominee, hoping to energize the base, and it works. Problem is, it was the LEFT base that got energized. McCain got a million bucks in donations in the 24 hours after the convention; Barack got TEN million, and September was his biggest fundraising month ever, right after August. Now Barack's swimming in money and forcing McCain to play defense deep in the Red zone. (But keep giving; time is running out, and this is no time for complacency.)

Every time I get mad, I do some phone banking or dig up another $25 and donate it. Every time someone gets pissed off about something on Daily Kos, they throw up a diary with donation links to Orange to Blue or Act Blue or directly to the website of the cause or the candidate, and there's a wave of "I gave!" comments all over the post. These efforts have raised millions from small donors -- more than a million so far at Orange to Blue alone. Talk about jujitsu politics; every time they make a move against us, it translates into more money and volunteers for our side.

What happened to the Democratic Party I used to know, the one where we wrung our hands and vowed to smite the right and nothing ever worked out? When did we turn into this disciplined, principled, driven movement, channeling our anger into action and cash and targeting our enemies with devastating precision?

That's not a rhetorical question. I have an answer. My hero, Dr. Howard Dean, and my super-hero, Barack Obama.

LOL Love it! The first time I gave $ ever for a campaign was after Barack's convention speech. The second time was after Sarah Palin's! And every time some new crazy attack happens, I've been sending in a little more.

You people are insane. When unemployment hits 20% and real wages fall 25% by the end of Obama's first term and the DOw is at 4,000 what are you going to say ... it's all big businesses fault, Bush You are running full speed toward a substantially lower standard of living and economic suicide. Obama is a racist, liar and a con man. Obama is the socialist Adolph Hitler and just as Hitler destroyed German Obama will destroy America with the help of his SS at the Daily Kos.
