2008/09/11 [15:18] <+hardaway> One of our portfolio clients is having an all afternoon meeting. Might interfere with NGL. I will try to stay in the chat, anyway

2008/09/11 [16:26] <+jromeh> yesterday McCain said Palin “knows more about energy than probably anyone else in the United States of America.”

2008/09/11 [16:45] <+jromeh> rt @yatpundit great analogy from Begala: BHO says moon made of rock. McC says made of cheese. Media says "debate over makeup of Moon"
2008/09/11 [16:50] <+eggsoregano> Steve is voicing a view that is held by an eensy-teensy minority of people
2008/09/11 [16:57] <+eggsoregano> all 7 of us
2008/09/11 [16:59] <+eggsoregano> that is a whole bunch of din.
2008/09/11 [17:00] <+eggsoregano> That's a fascist mentality
2008/09/11 [17:01] <+eggsoregano> Steve assumes that because he thinks like a fascist, his opponents do also. They don't.
2008/09/11 [17:01] <+hardaway-1> Fascist? Steve? Explain.
2008/09/11 [17:02] <+eggsoregano> That is right out of Stalin's playbook.

2008/09/11 [17:02] <+hardaway-1> I like Brian Williams

2008/09/11 [17:05] <+eggsoregano> Talk about doublespeak
2008/09/11 [17:05] <+eggsoregano> Take the Bill Ayers route
2008/09/11 [17:06] <+eggsoregano> for now
2008/09/11 [17:06] <+eggsoregano> until she"lies"
2008/09/11 [17:07] <+eggsoregano> lie=anything negative about your man
2008/09/11 [17:07] <@TinaGillmor> Shoot who? and is that what YOU really mean?

2008/09/11 [17:11] <+eggsoregano> that means that they believe Steve is inpenatrable
2008/09/11 [17:13] <+eggsoregano> Because that is ridiculous
2008/09/11 [17:13] <+eggsoregano> One requires sanity for a good wiki

2008/09/11 [17:15] <+eggsoregano> That'll really draw clicks
2008/09/11 [17:15] <+kshep> yeah, not quite under the umbrella of what microblog.org was intended for
2008/09/11 [17:16] <+jromeh> but they'll see the problem as the source, not the info
2008/09/11 [17:16] <+eggsoregano> "they"will be a group of about 20 people
2008/09/11 [17:17] <+eggsoregano> Who are the right wing?
