Dems Debate -- Slangin' Dirt in South Carolina

As Democratic presidential hopefuls prepare to debate in South Carolina, it looks like the people of Myrtle Beach have already begun slingin' the dirt around.

Check out these pics of a 20-foot tall sand sculpture built to look like a Clinton-Obama-Edwards version of Mount Rushmore. We're told this monstrosity took 750 TONS (no- we're not kidding) of sand to create ... and a ton of elbow grease.

Now only if they would work that hard in the White House!

91. #65 That is such an old, false story. It was written by some of the same people involved in the whole Swift Boat slander against John Kerry. It has all been proven false. Maybe if you would do your own research instead of just reading emails sent to you by people with an agenda. You are part of the problem. If you want to hate him, hate him for a true reason, not some made up crap. You are probably a racist that is hiding behind the belief that he is a Muslim. It makes you feel better than admitting you hate him because of the color of his skin.

92. #65 By the way, I did just look it up on Snopes and it says FALSE! You didn't even check before you put it out there. You probably "sent it to all of your contacts." Way to spread those lies. Bad Karma.

93. To 7, 8, and 10: Wonder what you have hiding in your closets? I know, I know , you are not running for president. About Chelsea, at least give her parents some praise and credit for raising a daughter, in the public eye, who never has had even a hint of scandal connected to her name. Remember the Bush girls? How about their father who earned his many millions by unscrupulous and dirty politics! Read about it . It's in "The Book."

94. I HAVE TO SAY THAT THERE IS MOST DEFINETLY SOME VERY IGNORANT PEOPLE ON THIS SITE. IF ANYONE SAW THE DEBATE LASTNIGHT LIKE I DID THEY WOULD KNOW THAT OBAMA IS NOT A MUSLIM BUT A DEVOUT CHRISTIAN. BUT IT REALLY DOES NOT MATTER WHAT RELIGION HE IS. I HAVE TO SAY I HAVE NOT MADE UP MY MIND ON WHOM I AM GOING TO CHOOSE COME THIS NOV. BECAUSE IT IS TO EARLY IN THE GAME TO SAY. BUT RIGHT NOW I AM STRONGLY LEANING TOWARDS OBAMA. I STARTED OUT BEING A CLINTON SUPPORTER BUT AFTER LAST NIGHTS' DEBATE I AM STARTING TO WONDER IF CLINTON IS JUST RIDING HER HUSBANDS COAT TAIL. IF THINK SHE WOULDMAKE THIS COUNTRY A WONDERFUL LEADER IF SHE WOULD JUST STAND ON HER OWN ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND NOT LEAN TOWARDS HER HUSBAND. AND AS FAR AS OBAMA I THINK THIS COUNTRY COULD REALLY BENEFIT FROM SOMEONE OTHER THAN A WHITE MALE IN OFFICE. BECAUSE OF THIS LAST WHITE MALE WE HAVE SPENT MORE MONEY AND LOST MORE LIVES ON A SENSLESS WAR SINCE VIETNAM. SO BEFORE YOU POST YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT HILARY OR OBAMA OR EVEN JOHN FOR THAT MATTER GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!!!!

GO OBAMA!!!!!!

95. to #71 poster - YOU ARE WRONG!!, I actually have liked Barack Obama since he was runing for the senate, I thought this man is very articulate, young and sincere. Actually I was thinking VOTING FOR HIM til I read he is MUSLIM/ATHEIST. I will just said that AMERICA was funded on CHRISTIAN BASIS AND BELIEVES and I strongly believe that NO MUSLIM OR ATHEIST (roots) should be part of american politics. Obama needs to clarify this cause if he wins the Republicans will eat him alive with all this skeletons in Obama's closet. I still believe Obama is educated and articulate but I just don't feel confortable voting for him anymore. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH COLOR. I AM COLOR BLIND. PERIOD!

Posted at 6:46PM on Jan 22nd 2008 by Obama needs to clarigy this.......

96. *TO #72 POSTER - Wrong again !. I urge everybody to go to' snopes.com ' page 3 about middle of the page you will find the article about Obama being of Muslim/Atheist roots.. So I won't have to worry about Karma cause I did not viciously posted anything that its not.


Posted at 6:58PM on Jan 22nd 2008 by Obama needs to clarify this if not true............

97. I have watched all the debates DEMOCRATS and REPUBLICANS and what I saw last night on Obama I did not like at all, he seems to have a temper hiding behind that cool image. He looks like he as a muslim would hate to see a human as President and take orders from her. He acted spoiled and hates when other people turn on him.

This is what I admired the most about Hillary Clinton because she is tough, smart, strong, composed and believe she will focus on her job as president and will ignored the political bulldogs who will try to intimidate her.

Remember she survived the embarrasment the REPUBLICANS CAUSED ON HER FAMILY, dragging her husband all over the world for a mistake that 99.99% of men do. HIPOCRITES! Bill Clinton never lost focus of his wotk and left America with a generous, surplus and a healthy economy!!!

Posted at 7:05PM on Jan 22nd 2008 by Obama is not so cool!!........

98. #76 So, he's just posing undercover at the Christian church he has attended for 20 years while secretly harboring radical Muslim beliefs. I'll bet he his teaching his little girls to be terrorists. Do you honestly think that as invasive as our government and culture is, the only way for us to find out that a candidate is hiding something is through an email chain? Your posting name is "Obama needs to clarify this if not true." Did you not watch the debates last night? He has come out time and time against this smear campaign. I went to Snopes again and still cannot find any validation, so please post the link. The email you posted word for word is on Snopes "Who is Barack Obama?" and says false on the claim. I'm just sayin'.........

99. to #78 poster- please read again my post #65, that article you will find it at snopes.com page 3, middle of that page. I just went there few minutes ago. Its there.

It says that Barack Hussein Obama comes from Muslim and Atheist roots. Obama became a Lawyer many yrs ago and he also new that if he wants to become part of the political system in AMERICA he will have to be a christian. Not sure if he is a christian now or just join the christian churches to help and be part of one.. This is what Obama will have to explain

If you see him, Obama never sings or puts his hand on his chest as respect of the the flag. like the rest of americans do. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OUT OF THIS?? AN AMERICAN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT.??? don't think so!

Posted at 7:40PM on Jan 22nd 2008 by Obama an american?? don't think so......

100.
Former Clinton Supporter

Remember, it was Hillary who led the Clinton's machines dirty tricks effort when they smeared, and retaliated against Paula Jones, Monica Lewinski, Juanita Broadrick, Kathleen Wiley, Gennifer Flowers, Sally Perdue, Dolly Browning etc.
She sent her surrogate, James Carville out on the pundit circuit to suggest "walk through a trailer park with $100 bills and see what crawls out" (with reference to Paula Jones)
Did she apologize to these woman once the truth came out about Bill philandering compulsions? No.
And even after she knew the truth about this she remained a silent enabler while Bill looked the nation in the eye and said "I did not have sex with that woman...Monica Lewinski."
Her character and Modus operandi are remarkable consistent when it comes to gaining and maintaining power.
Karl Rove already announced the GOP HRC strategy is just to raise her negatives a few more points. Looks like he will not have to as the Clintons are now fanning the flames of disgust within their own party.
Now her new surrogates have the gall to launch "sisterhood loyalty" attacks accusing Oprah of betraying woman.
I hope the dems realize what they are getting back into before they lose the chance to change directions and nominate an electable candidate.

101. #80 What keyword are you typing in? I typed in Barack Obama and there is no page 3...just give the link like #79. Also, I have read his testimony in his book Audacity to Hope and there is no way he is not what he says he is. You've obviously decided to trust the chain email, so I guess it worked.

Posted at 8:52PM on Jan 22nd 2008 by IF NOT TRUE OBAMA NEEDS TO KNOW THIS..

104. *to #80- Don't know what to believe anymore, it seems everyone make priomises until they win the presidency then, NADA!!! NOTHING! .

We just have to go with our hunches and pick the best of the bad and worst! and hope for the best! GOD BLESS AMERICAN AND ITS PEOPLE. Its getting pretty scary.

I am somehow dissapointed with both parties. They both have good and bad! they both work hard at fooling people to get their votes. THIS IS REALITY MY FRIEND!

Posted at 11:24AM on Jan 23rd 2008 by To much political corruption Republicans/Democr.....

105. Hillary ....all the way to the White House.
If they are attacking her so much is because she is running better and ready to crooss the finish line.
Go Hillary Goooooooooo! I do not want a suspected muslim as president of USA.
