So defensive about Obama you're willing to throw his name out when none on did so beforehand?...

A little reflexive action perhaps?...
Maybe it's become a bit reflexive when we're defending against the lamest $h*t that people throw out... And you have a habit of connecting things to Obama or Democrats through stretching the imagination or illogical parallels.

Finally, you have reached the crux of the issue. Who are these sources? Who were the democrats? Name some names and maybe we could comment on it. Otherwise, who should I believe? First they said it was because they didn't want the event to be percieved as partisan. Then, when it was obvious they had dissed and likely pissed off a prospective Vice President, they came out with this, ... people are covering their asses all the time - it's easy to hide behind "a source" and blame "them".

No comment about the Dems. threatening to rescing the orgs. tax exempt status, just another diversion attempt from the subject of the Dems unethical bullying tactics.

I don't think that was ever said. What was said was the Dems. used an immoral/unethical bullying tactic and no one on the left seems to care. Bury it in the sand because the Dem. Party is pure and unsoiled. A paragon of virtue about which nothing bad can be said.

Here's a question. Maybe I should start a new thread. If there is much interest I will. But as it relates to this I'll ask it here.
Why were there protests against this guy? Did GWB meet with him?
Not so long ago we were begging for his country to come to a bargaining table. Now he is here and it draws nothing but a discussion (here and on the media) about who was going to protest it?
Comments?

After listening to Palin and Katie Couric this morning the right should feel real bad fielding such a double talking moron. When asked what McCain has done to reform the banking system she went on some tyraid about what a swell guy he is. But I will give Katie credit for holding her to some answer. Finally Palin said she would find out and Email her. Geeez. No don't do it guys. Please. don't vote for these two douche bags. Vote for the other two douche bags.

Don't you think the conversation can shift but remain on the meat of the subject? I don't (personally that is) care who snubbed who or who paid taxes.
What I do care about is how the foreign policy of the country is carried out. I made the comment it seemed weird these two important politicians would be attending a protest.
Why didn't they go protest the Olympics? When Putin visits again as he or his guys probably will do eventually, will there be protests including top name senators and governors?
Don't you think this looks fishy? I want to know why we are protesting someone who was obviously invited to speak.
And I'm not taking up for him, I just want to know what the deal is?

So you don't care that your party is using threats to stop people from carrying out perfectly legal actions??
