This is so true. Great video Eric!

 

Plus, of course...

Don’t tell anybody, but the guy who gets sucker-punched? He’s black.

 

suweeeet!

Only a lib could term that a "sucker punch"

And what difference does the fighter’s skin color have to do with the price of tea in China?

no such thing as a sucker punch after the round starts....

Huh. He is. (Read this, LatteLibertarian.)

Well, kind of. It’s a Brazilian style, so the guy could be pretty much anything; that country’s pretty much a melting pot.

But, anyway, tell us: what’s it like, to automatically see a racial aspect in everything? Next post, please.

PS: I’m going to be changing your screen name to remove that inaccurate “Libertarian” part. Do you have a preference? – because you don’t want me to come up with something more appropriate.

I agree

It probably couldn’t get any better at making the point than that video clip.

It was well done, you’re right.

 
 
 
 
 

I like this one better myself

Remember, Obama was able to hold a lead against McCain for awhile.
It lasted until McCain said “Oh, so That’s how you do business…”

How sad that skin color actually still matters to you.

Mord (Diary) Wednesday, August 27th at 5:54PM EST (link)

This is the kind of person who thinks you are a racist just for Voting for McCain. We are supposed to ignore every single thing that is utterly radical and wrong about Obama’s views and ride the wave of Identity politics which will certainly wash up on the shores of Utopia. You missed the point of the metaphor completely, wich is sad because it’s actually funny.

I refuse to be labeled by the Democrat party’s racisim. If Obama wanted to fire govornment bureaucrats, curb wasted spending, stop paying billions of dollars to prop up the useless UN and introduce a 5% flat-tax on all Americans, I would vote for him over McCain. Call me anything you want, I know the real reason why Obama won’t get elected.

I look foreward to laughing and pointing at every single car I see with an Obama sticker after November. Suckers.

suckered punch????

When you are in the ring just you, your opponent and the referee there is no such thing as a sucker punch. There is such a thing as an idiot though.

Great analogy

woodsman (Diary) Wednesday, August 27th at 6:00PM EST (link)

I think this fighting style is called capoeira. It’s a mixture of various styles.

It also highlights what happens when you get cocky instead of doing what you came to do.

As Bruce Lee once said; Breaking boards is easy, the boards don’t hit back. I’d like to think McCain is that guy just waiting to take his shot.

Another parable is; Don’t take a knife to gun fight.

I think McCain & Co are ready for this.

 

Sweet

Which one of the fighters is McCain?

The one who kicks the crap out of the Dem party in November and makes you cry...that one!

That's a personal decision.

Most of us have no problem making the distinction.

He's a sucker. He got punched.

I guess if a sucker gets punched, in a sense it’s a sucker punch.

Same as what happened to Stoller.

Like I said, Obama had an apparent advantage for a second.
Then McCain figured out his weaknesses and threw his strengths against them.

I just saw McCain's new AD

Cicero (Diary) Thursday, August 28th at 12:38AM EST (link)

“Tiny” all about Iran.

But I think the ad McCain should be running is this one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpwdcmjBgNA

It would get enormous free air time as all the talk heads explode in their rush to discuss it, and with the current situation in Georgia it would be a timely ad.
