Thursday Republican National Convention running commentary thread

[Daniel Adams]

I found it strange it hadn't been created yet.

Senator Lindsay Graham is on. He's delivering a nice speech about victory in Iraq.

[Daniel Adams]

Okay, I was wondering "Why are they showing a Palin video now?"

Giuliani spoke for too long yesterday.

[Daniel Adams]

Wow. A video explicitly exploiting 9/11. What a disgusting, disgusting party.

Exploiting? Well, the same way the Democrats are exploiting current economic troubles, I guess.

No. Just no. The Republicans just showed a video of innocent Americans dying in a terrorist attack, a terrorist attack that occurred on their watch, with no other reason but to remind Americans of the terror and pain and sadness we all felt on that day. They are explicitly exploited the tragic, horrible deaths of 9/11 victims for political gain. I've never been more disgusted.

Oh, stop your intellectual dishonesty. Reminding people what we're locked in a war against Islamofascism is not exploiting. Did Roosevelt exploit Pearl Harbor when he mentioned it in his speeches? But I should stop using analogies. You're clearly to hackish to comprehend them.

All of what you just said is ridiculous. You just compared Pearl Harbor and World War 2 to the "War on Terror".

Yep, that's exactly what I did. And I stand by it.

[Daniel Adams]

Did anybody know that John McCain was a POW?

Thank you, GOP Convention, for letting me know!

And thank you Democratic Convention, for letting us know that Barack Obama was a community organizer in Chicago!

[Daniel Adams]

Brilliant ending. B grade delivery otherwise, but A for content.
