I just bought a cup of coffee.  You might be wondering what this has to do with Hillary.

I’d suck as president ... I slept right through the 3:00 AM call.

I was voting for this one, but you topped me:

“They are just beginning to see what the power of Puma is. We are the voters and we are a force to be reckened with.”

“They are just beginning to see what the power of Puma is. We are the voters and we are a force to be reckened with.”

May I suggest the National Spelling Bee?

The power of PUMA?  What’s that, fund raising?  Self-promotion?  Over promising and under delivering?

C’mon, PUMA - the world is waiting for the good stuff!

I had a dream where all of the PUMApackers are denied hotel rooms in Denver by snide desk clerks who say, “I’m sorry. We weren’t expecting you.”

The power of PUMA

The Pete Best of Thundercats

StrangeAppar8us - Gee, thanks for making me laugh coffee out of my nose ;)  That’s terrific!

Um, a friend of mine works for the Obama campaign locally, and the fact that the text message came at 3am actually was intended as a subtle dig, but more at Mark Penn than Hillary.

That’s just between me and you and the NSA of course.

Oh these PUMAs, they just see everything as a conspiracy. And now they want to overthrow Biden?:

But, if it came at 3 a.m. EDT, that means Obama sent it at 2 a.m. CDT, and it was received at 1 a.m. in MDT and at 12 midnight in PDT.  Oh, those time zones were always against Hillary Clinton!  Only she has the experience to actually defeat them and bring us all into the same time!

Here’s another one from PumaPac blog (they’ve been over on the Obama website forums):

“Wow its getting nasty over there:

It is people like you that stir up trouble, we do not need people like you so hear this GOD DON’T LIKE UGLY AND HE DON’T LIKE YOU so hear this OBAMA will win with BIDEN as his VP remember you can not stop what GOD is about to do.

GO OBAMA/BIDEN 08 and 12”

What I love is she includes the responses to her obviously racial comment that Obama (and probably Michelle too) should go back to Africa and says “THEY are getting ugly over there”.  Sheese.  That was good old Trish from Canada.

marindenver—

This just in from MountainSong, who also tried to access the BO site:

“First they want me to register. Then to create a blog of my own. All I wanted to do was post a comment telling them how full of S**t I think Little Black Sambo is and that I didn’t think he could get elected with Aunt Jemima for his VP.”

Charming people, these PUMAs. And, of course, it’s all about “saving Democracy.”

Charming indeed.  I know a couple people in media here - I think I’ll show them all of this stuff - I think Kevin has a running list of racial comments - and see if they want to do something with it.  They’re not MSM - it’s the alternative paper and a lot of people here read it pretty religiously.

marindenver—

I was a prick and posted her remarks on several of their youtube videos. They are now defending racist comments as “free speech.” I’m also copying their main thread, just in case they try to purge the “MountainSong” post and subsequent replies. You can do the same, but I’ll be happy to supply my files if you need them.

This undercurrent has been there all along, but I’ve never seen any post that let it slip so easily…and so bluntly. Personally, I’d like to see that post at the top of every Google search for PUMA.

Oh, and just in case they trace my handle over here, let me just say that I hope MountainSong will become the most famous PUMA, evah.

Apologies to Kevin K. if I’m abusing my tenuous privileges here.

Hmm. Blocked and deleted on youtube, and a PUMApac member has requested that the offending post be removed from the home site. However, “MountainSong” will live on in other venues they DON’T control.

Meanwhile, here’s a new candidate:

“#302 alohapuma on 08.23.08 at 7:42 pm

I’m going to say something I’ve thought for awhile now.

It’s a bit provocative, but the more I see his categorical dismissives and read about his childhood, the more I think it’s true….

Obama (subconsciously) hates white women.”

“This undercurrent has been there all along, but I’ve never seen any post that let it slip so easily…and so bluntly. Personally, I’d like to see that post at the top of every Google search for PUMA.”

Christina at “Yes To Democracy” has a running list of racist PUMA comments.  And I’ve commented on them on my posts there as well.

“MountainSong” was a regular on the now “dark” TexasDarlin blog.  And TXD didn’t seem to have any problems with her racism there either

Thanks, Patrick. I’ll check in over at YTD.

Don’t forget to get screen shots of the most egregious stuff!

I’m stunned at the hate and ignorance Mountain Song expresses in her posts on pumapac:

Here’s one from today, which no one has had the good sense to remove (commentary on the selection of Biden as VP candidate):

#1028 MountainSong on 08.23.08 at 1:26 am
Wonder what the ghetto rats n rappers are thinkin now. Like “damn, homie, wassup with that honkie? BO gone n done did flipped the script this time, fo sho.”

Liz—It’s not the crime, it’s the cover-up.

Every blog has rogue commenters, and it’s certainly not my life’s work to prank a bunch of poor souls who are usually content to project their abusive ex-husbands onto a candidate who never did a damn thing to them personally…although I’ve done my share.

The astonishing thing was how quickly they closed ranks and proclaimed MorningSong’s comments to be “free speech,” which they would defend to their deaths. Coming from people who draw a bright line at “sexism” and “misogyny,” their outrage seems rather selective. They ignored their own members who complained, and if I hadn’t trolled the “Sambo” comment over to youtube, they might still be chuckling over it.

Can’t believe I missed YOUR find, though. That’s a humdinger.

StrangeAppar8us and Marindenver, this stuff does need to get picked up in the media, and I applaud your efforts to make it more widely known. It’s also worth noting that most PUMA blogs are heavily moderated, so when horrifically racist comments get posted, it’s because of the moderator’s tacit approval.

You’re right, StrangAppar8us and Betty Cracker. I should expect some horrible posts, but what’s truly horrifying is that this is the closely moderated version.

And it isn’t just racism. This is a “movement” which says it stands against sexism and decries the comments in the media about Senator Clinton’s appearance and then turns around and posts the most vile comments on Donna Brazile and Cynthia Crowly, mocking their hair and their weight. (Read Micheal Varvel’s posts at Riverdaughter’s. And weep.) And this blatent sexism and “lookism” is embraced by sister/fellow posters and the moderators. There is a cognitive disconnect among PUMAs which makes my head ache.

Morning Song’s “offensive” posts have been removed from pumapac, but many, many more remain, including these two gems:

#92 MountainSong on 08.23.08 at 6:02 pm
Gawd, just think!!! If Obama’s mother had believed in Pro-choice, we might not be in this mess!!!

#121 MountainSong on 08.23.08 at 6:16 pm
People living in upper middle class neighborhoods that are primarily sheltered from areas and talk in the less fortunate places have absolutely no idea what a powderkeg America has become. There are many who would die to see Obama elected…and many who would die to make sure he isn’t. It’s scary, and I just hope we can make it through the election without any ‘incidents’.

I shouldn’t be surprised at the cognitive disconnect. After all, this is the same group that states that democracy and the will of the people will be best served if we deny the expression of the will of the people (all the contests, all the states, and yes, all the “misguided” superdelegates who exercise the independent judgment the PUMAs themselves call out for and choose Senator Obama) and give the Democratic nomination to Senator Clinton because, in their judgment, she is the “best qualified.”

Yeah, I might like to live in the fantasy world where my judgment about who is best qualified determines the winner and the rest of the voters be damned. (Boy, the results of the 1972 election would be way different, and that’s just for starters!) But that’s not the world we’re living in.

Don’t forget to get screen shots of the most egregious stuff!

Christina is the screen capture pro; hopefully she is on this.

Some of MountainSong’s best friends…

#681 MountainSong on 08.24.08 at 2:22 pm

BTW, my best friend, who happens to be a AA woman, came over last night, and when I showed her what I had written, she cracked up laughing. But, of course, she is for Hillary, too. And she says alot more off-the-wall stuff than I can even imagine.

And the saga of MountainSong continues with her non-apology apology (of the “I’m sorry you were offended” variety):

#747 SunnyPA on 08.24.08 at 2:58 pm
#681 MountainSong
I was trying to let it drop until I read your comment. If your best friend was AA, you never would have written the comment in the first place.

#760 MountainSong on 08.24.08 at 3:05 pm
747 SunnyPA~~~ Well, she is. And you should hear HER talk. I can’t explain why but in many places here in the west, it’s just not that big of a deal.
I myself, am half native american. So between her and me, we represent 3 different ’shades’ of the HUMAN race.
I have already apologized. But, damn, if people don’t lighten up and start to get a little more thick-skinned about certain things, this country is going to hell in a handbasket. And anyone who didn’t think what I said was funny, prolly has some racial issues of their own.
And yeah, what redraz9 just said!!!

#817 MountainSong on 08.24.08 at 3:33 pm
Now my native american blood is aroused!!!!
I remember reading that Obama said he could identify with Malcolm X when he said he wished he could purge the white blood that coursed threough his veins. I can so relate to that.
If I didn’t have so many friends here in this world that I love, I would join my brothers and sisters in wishing a wind would come and blow all the white,black, asian, and Hispanics off the face of our land.
I said I apologized. That doesn’t mean I was wrong!
If I offended you, I’m sorry. If you think I’m wrong, you can KMA

.

Some of her best friends are black.

Whoops—she doesn’t have ANY friends.

No, wait—she has a LOT of friends, which is the only thing stopping her from wishing them all dead.

MountainSong is taking a lot of heat, and not enjoying it at all. She tried switching the topic to the NWO and how the UN owns the United States and we are all headed to the state-run abbatoirs…but she just can’t shake that “Sambo” thing.

I’m sorry they were shocked into deleting her posts, However, I’m sure that the “thousands” of newbies who are signing up will be fascinated by the continuing attacks, retractions and references to the “distasteful” posts that aren’t there anymore.

When I go to join an online group, the first thing I look for is a vigorous discussion on the topic of why they aren’t really racists, and why it doesn’t matter if they are.

I am one of many people who wrote to Obama campaign folk suggesting the message come out at 3 am.
Some of us are not over the entitlement issues of Hillary, Bill and their supporters who can’t move on in life.

And I am woman.

Obama/Biden 2008!
