It’s all but over. Watch any of the news channels and see everybody spinning their wheels because the big race is done, and Barack Obama is President of the United States of America. Pressed to find a mathematical way for John McCain to win, CNN’s John King just could not.
So I don’t feel premature in saying to you: congratulations. You did it. You made a statement, and a beautiful one. You shed the fear and hate and chose hope. You took a chance, and you took it for a better future, an America that’s a little bit closer to fulfilling its longstanding promise.
And I also want to say: thank you. For the last eight years it’s sometimes been tough to remember what it is about America that’s so great. We’ve seen some of the ugliest elements rise to the top, we’ve seen the national mood dominated by division and racism and hate, and tonight you chose everything that is the opposite of that. Tonight you decided you had enough of the negativity and the ignorance and you embraced the positive. Thank you for reminding me how much I fucking love this place, and the people living in it.
Tomorrow it’s all about movies again, but tonight I’m toasting you guys for doing the right thing.
We live in a country that elected a black president. America has grown up.
This is the real America.

well, then, fuck this site as well.
Do 3D glasses come with that Obama poster?
fuck this site for intelligence?
FUCK YEAH! It's about fucking time. Down with the republicans. Down with the conservatives. DOWN WITH EVERYTHING THEY STAND FOR AS PEOPLE! VIVA LA MIDDLE CLASS! VIVA AN AMERICA THAT LOOKS LIKE EVERYONE AND NOT JOE THE FUCKING PLUMBER!
yes fuck this site
So, are they going to cancel the Daily Show? They just lost all their material for the next 4 years. Good for you, overprivilaged white kids for proving you aren't racist by voting for a black guy that isn't really black. I can't wait for Obama to wave that magic wand!
Devin is just excited because he heard they will be giving tax breaks for homosexuals and obese bearded men. Double score for him!!
This says it all. We get what we wish for.

Are you gonna cry Devin? You little baby.
This site is gonna lose a lot of users Devin. And its all on you.
G*d bless the Socialist States of Amerika…Comrade!
This is proof there is a God.
Awww…poor neo-con suckups can't stand watching the "permanent majority" collapse? Enjoy your 40 years in the wilderness, losers. Maybe all you crybabies can leave CHUD and go suck Billington's c**k.
Whitman, honestly, WHERE is the evidence that he's a socialist? An actual dyed in the pink socialist? There is no evidence.
This is one of the best days of my life and I hope that this changes all of our lives for the better. 'Losing' this election might be one of the better things that could happen for McCain's supporters.
And selfishly, I'm ecstatic that, tomorrow morning, ourselves and others can hold us in high regard.
Whitman, shut the fuck up. you know NOTHING about applying small Socialist aspects to Western societies for the benefit of all, not the fucking rich.
Yeah……I'm outta here. I thought this was a movie site.
Congrats and all, but Obama still has to stay ALIVE for the next 4 years. I have zero faith in america not producing one of its famous "loonies" that takes progressive leader's lives.
Proof of Socialism:
Obama's belief in a RIGHT for universal health care.
Obama training ACORN workers to secure mortgages for unqualified people in large enough quantity to collapse the housing and home-financing industries.
Obama marching with illegal aliens in Chicago in support of "comprehensive" immigration reform, compatible with the Socialist belief in open borders.
Obama has promised to increase the tax burden on the rich to redistribute wealth to the poor. "It's not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance for success too. My attitude is that if the economy's good for folks from the bottom up, it's gonna be good for everybody. I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."
Obama is a change from Bush (and I dislike Bush), but he is NOT a better change.
Hehe, look at all the bitter conservatives ranting on a second-rate movie site talkback. Don't you guys have something better to do? Go beat up on a fag or jerk-off to some gay porn. That always makes you closet-case GOP'ers feel better.
Everybody threatening to leave; piss off! CHUD won't miss you.
You're a very overweight and sad individual Devin, but I am thrilled Obama won.
Also, you're obese and not too bright.
Amazing that a guy who said he hated this country 4 years ago after W won says he loves it now and its intelligent. A guy who said Al Qaeda should bomb the southern states with impunity now says thank you. Its hilarious and great because now theres no more excuses or boogeymen now theres just your candidates and we'll see where the accountability will be. But if we are all a bunch of partisan monkey's we'll still be sliding 4 years from now from middle class to no class.
Fascinating times now that there is this supposed " Hope " what will there be to defeat it? Fear I imagine is what people on the left will say. Inaction and a terrible ability to continue politics as usual (tax and spend, empire building or socialistic giveaways) so enjoy and if you are a great american and a great leader you will stand for real change and break away from the 2 party system that continues to railroad us or you'll be for the same shit different day.
I hope this president can change things for the better but excuse me if I wear the color blind glasses and see a harvard grad in office and say I doubt things will. Here is to better days ahead.
Mmmmmmm. Bitter tears taste great. Cry some more losers I want to save some.
To all you "fuck this site" people: GOOD. If you're going to be sore losers, then go find someplace else to cry. I'm sure there's a site for the closed-minded somewhere out there.
Good riddance to the cavemen! And the troglodytes!
whats all the hate for devin about? get the fuck off the site if you dont like the writers…
i mean…what the fuck? why would you read the writings this site if you dont like the writers?
I say Devin should make personal/polirtical posts like these on his blog and not on the main site, but I cant blame him for being excited…even if Im more of a republican myself (would have voted for Obama if i was an US residents); and as a foreigner (although with relatives living in the USA), Im a bit skeptical about Obama bringing a new golden age or making the american dream a reality; its an historic moment for US history, but lets wait and see how it all adds up in a few months/years, ok?
That said, here's hoping for the best.
Fuck all of you who claim they want to stop reading this site. Seriously, fuck you. Devin, I commend your seriousness re: this topic. Here's to a brighter future…
So we should have just voted him because he was black? That is essentially what you are saying. Say hello to socialism America. Class redistribution is going to rule and higher taxes.
Now, we can tell black jokes.
Just from the start, he is doing a very black thing: he robbed.
I don't care who you voted for- legitimate history has been made tonight. If your response to it is "fuck this site," then you are a sad, sad excuse for an American, human being, and person. There's more to life than what movie site you're going to boycott out of spite. Especially when there's real shit happening in the world. You are destined to grow into very bitter, old, lonely people. Anyway, good riddance to bad rubbish, I guess.
hey, I'm just glad the Dems will finally be responsible for the mess (since they've been the majority in Congress and did so so much to stop the financial meltdown and get do-it-now energy like coal, natural gas and oil going). And I'm pretty excited for tax hikes on John Mayer and the like. I guess they were too busy to just pay more taxes willingly and they needed that mandate from the government to go forward and do it. yay for liberal, activist judges! and just wait until the Bush tax cuts expire (remember, they cut rates for EVERYONE, created the 10% bracket). Oh, it will be interesting.
Brothers going to work it out, brother's going to work it out.
Devin,
Thank you for saying a big fuck you to the idiots on here who can't take your commentary.
Bravo sir. Bravo.
Isn't the idea that we should be commended for voting a black man in office as racist as saying we should be commended for voting a white man there? Apparently, Devin's hypocrisy knows no bounds. (see how I did that? I made it about movies again. I rule)
See… I thought this was CHUD, you know, Devins site… and I'm pretty sure seeing as they pay for the sites fees etc… organised the coding… that they're allowed to post whatever the fuck they like?
Oh and congratulations to America for finally progressing and showing us out here in the rest of the world that you're ready to move beyond near sighted, racist, biased politicians into an era, where every man or woman in america truly CAN be President.
I don't know if Obama will or won't be a president. I'm neither an ignorant republican (Liberal in australia) or a blind and rabid Democrat (Labor here in australia), but all this talk of 'socialist medicine' is hilarious…. it works in every other country after all and Americans currently have the worst system in the world yet defend it like its the holy grail?
Anyhow, Obamas election is more about seeing a progression and wisdom evolving in the people, a new day dawning as the old saying goes. So congratulations on progressing, hopefully the man will not disappoint. Hopefully.
Brothers going to work it out, brother's going to work it out.
I am glad I wasnt the only one listening to the Ron and Fez election coverage.
all the fascists can suck my enflamed cock. There is a just man running planet earth.
Peace and love FTW
I will kill all you fascists, even if I don't do it myself
Now that he's elected let's see what he does, let's see what he does. And sure maybe talking about obama has nothing to do with movies but whatever man, you're passionate about it I get it. That's a right on Devin, right on.
i thought this was a movie site… seriously. i could care less about obama being president, but this is how a MOVIE site loses advertisers by dividing their readership. its called common sense business.
Dev…I'm happy you're happy – but your sentiments are a little over-the-top. I'm excited the Republicans are FUCKING DONE (for at least four years), and I am pleased to say I played a part in that this morning. Still, let's see how his policies effect us before we make with the lofty platitudes.
And man…don't be down on the hologram – the HOLOGRAM RULES WITH A "Z"!
ya i think i'm done here anyways, you should have stuck to movies dipshit. no one cares you don't belive in god or support obama. i think we all just logged on everyday to get updates on iron man and shit like that… good think there are 100 of site like this around… aintitcool anyone 🙂
Yikes! This is why I hate politics, it turns people against one another at the drop of a hat. For the good of humanity, let us movie nerds get back to talking about movies!
And for the record, I wasn't too hot on either political candidate this time around, so I tossed my vote to the ancient candidate (with the vice-presidential MILF) that was a POW for five years.
In any case, I guess we'll just have to wait and see what kind of prez Obama turns out to be. Here's hoping he doesn't turn out to be the next Damien Thorn. 😉
aintitcool is for retards. chud doesn't need drews. get your smiley out of here you fucking girl.
It's funny how the board is full of liberals but the comments are full of conservatives. And by the way, you whiny bitches go ahead fuck off to some other site, you're probably running adblock anyway.
America can come back in to the party called the world now.
You have to love republicans and democrats fighting. It's like watching clones argue with each other. Makes me all tingly inside. So anyways I gave Crystal Skull another chance. It still sucks. Though Indy is way more active than most people would say. And well I hate George give credit where credit is due. Steven raped Indy just as many times as his bearded lover.
"Obama's belief in a RIGHT for universal health care." and "I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance for success too."
My God, what is wrong with you people? We have these things in Australia and they're good things to have. Also, the world hasn't ended down here either.
PS I wouldn't be going to aintitcool if your aim is to avoid left wing Democratic politics. A lot of that site is to the left of here. I'm going to guess that you're knowingly being ironic.
Good riddance. Who needs the conserva-tards who read this site.
I just logged on to see if there was any "Friday the 13th" or "Tron 2" news and I get this? Classic. Thanks for ruining your own site you dipshit fucks. Keep this crap to a minimum and report on things we all come to this site for…like…um…movie/entertainment news. We come here for a good reason. Political commentary for either side are sure as shit not it.
Unfortunate to see all the bitter cry babies in the talkback…
Instead of crying your eyes out give it a chance, and do your part to be a part of the solution. Dont be the hate filled doomsayer who quotes sound bites from Sarah Palin rallies.
Socialism? Jesus… People cant be that dumb.
Agreed, Lawrence Guy.
I'm with you fuck this site I'm going to ain't it cool.
*walks*
http://www.aintitcool.com/node/38983
oh.
Nice. It was indeed a great night, Devin. Glad we could come through here in Virginia.
Anyone who won't be coming back to this site because of this article WONT BE MISSED. No more Acceptable Malevolence! Tonight we are going to be a Benevolent Force again in the world!
Thank you for that, Devin. Beautiful.
Mwaaah! NeoCon/Repub/Asshole politics is dead. Mwaaah. All I have to say to the weeping assclowns that actually voted for McCain is: OBAMA!!!
'Grats on finally putting race out of the equation, but really, like it's going to make any difference. To misquote Bill Hicks "'I agree with what the puppet on the right thinks', 'I agree with what the puppet on the left thinks' – wait a minute – they're controlled by the same person!!!"
"The Preposterous Holograms" would be a good name for a rock band.
Of course the Daily Show will continue. They struck gold with Joe Biden.
For all you douchebags wanting to run to aintitcoolnews…..um, Harry put up his own article similar to Devins. so, what would be the difference exactly? assholes
Devin, you are as much a hate-filled douche as the people you mock. Please try to get over yourself, hypocrite.
goddamn; Devin done riled up some bitter wingnuts. judging from some of the posts here, Obama has a lot of work to do in uniting this dysfunctional country. it truly take a callous, hateful individual to spew bile on a night as historic as this, a night that reaffirms the principles that make our country great. all Americans should be proud of this important moment in our history. and by the way, being proud of our country for electing a black man as president is distinct from voting for a man BECAUSE he is black. otherwise, Al Sharpton would have been president the last 4 years you ignorant assholes. as for the socialist charges directed at Obama's tax policy: you wingnuts love quoting Adam Smith and his invisible hand (which you never quite get right), perhaps you would be interested to know that Smith endorsed progressive taxation. so i guess Adam Smith is a pinko commie too, right? take an economics course you fucking morons and quite ingesting the shit that falls out of Thomas Sowells face/ass.
Someone please explain to me how a right to universal health care is a bad thing. Generally the people that say that are evil, selfish people. Simple but true. Take that right wing cunts. Second, some of you need to get a better education, most places with higher taxes are generally better places. Lower taxes result in countries like South Africa where the rich are better off but live behind fortresses and the rest of the population is fucked in ass.
Finally a day I can be proud to be American once again. Hard road ahead – but an amazing moment in history. Fuck the poor losers. Get an education and come back in a few years…just not to CHUD, we don't need you. Move along.
You bitter conservatives will never leave this site. I mean, if you want to go to the ghetto of the conservative film critics, the Michael Medveds and Scott Hollerans of the world, so be it. I bet within a week you'll be back here, where you can actually read something that's well written and has actual insight about cinema.
Devin, I think you do a fantastic job of running this site. I come here for the movies, and thats why I keep coming, but your occasional commentary culture and society are always welcome and always interesting. Leaning conservative, I certainly don't always agree with you, but an event as important as this presidential election surely merits an article of commemoration. Thanks for all your hard work and keep up the interesting insights.
I´m from Spain. Excuse my poor english. I´m a regular visitor of this site since at least four years. Here, in Europe, many people think that USA is fucked up. Me among them. Furthermore, I thought that there weren´t possibilities to see a black man winning the presidency. Right now, I have to congratulate all of you, including the trolls and the rude people. Right now, I´m so glad that all my predictions were wrong…
Obama has a hard path in front of him after all these years of terrible administration and bad judgements. But at this moment, I can only say that you, people of America, have restored the hope and the faith in your country. Devin is absolutely right.
And yes, God Bless America.
This is a perfect example as to why I've stuck with this site for nearly a decade. These people haven't just proven themselves as writers and movie geeks, they've proven themselves as human beings. I'm drunk on scotch and victory, so here's my semi-annual CHUD raging ass kiss moment. I LOVE YOU!
Back to bitterness and arguing tomorrow.
Big ups to Chud and Devin for being open and honest about your beliefs always. A great night for America. I know Obama said to be gracious but god damn it feels good to be on the right side of history.
Devin, your hypocrisy knows no bounds. You don't even believe in God and yet you still ask Him to bless this country. I could care less about who you voted for, but don't openly mock God one minute and then thank Him the next.
My favourite part of this thread is that every halfwit abusing Dev is putting money in his pocket by generating more traffic. Comment away fools. Good work USA, the rest of the world is currently giving you a pat on the back
Just goes to show that stupid people can't be bothered to shut up instead of posting ignorance in response to honesty. Grow up people.
Good on you Americans, prepare for the international community to finally gain some respect for you guys after such a long period of ineptness at the helm of your country.
Fair play to McCain for accepting the defeat so well (publicly anyway) Today feels special not just for you guys but a lot of people around the world too
God bless America huh? So when Devin get's what he wants suddenly there is a God?
Congrats, America!
WHo knew there were so many right wing lemmings here? Its a great day, and nothing anyone says can take that away.
Two things I thought I would never see in my lifetime; a black US President and more-importantly the possibility of a REAL Jurassic Park! (OK they were only mice who have been dead about 6 years but it proves it's possible). Just imagine a Jurassic-Park-themed-Jurrasic-Park, hold onto your butts…
I say this…not a problem this country has that one man can fully affect. Neither one was a good choice to right the ship, but this pick was great for morale and for history lessons aplenty.
I'm confused, "God Bless America"? Does God suddenly exist now that your candidate won?
Wow, throng of unknown users, you really told us off. I'm not sure how we'll cope without the benefit of your enlightened point of view on all subjects. I guess the rest of us will band together and struggle on somehow.
All these people saying that they're gonna leave the site and never return because of an article celebrating that we have a black president need to get going. Seriously. If you're gonna stop reading the site, then get going. Site needs less trolls anyways.
And Devin is right, America did grow up. It's about time.
What does this have to do with movies? Please post this stuff in your Devin's Advocate so I can skip it.
For those that blame the republicans on everything, many of the problems that diminish your respect for the country were either allowed, aided and abetted, or approved of by democratic majorities during the last eight years.
Many of the problems that have cropped up were actually gestated or created during the eight years of the Clinton administration.
For every person that thought that the fall of the US was starting with Bush, there was one who thought the same with Clinton and now Obama.
To express pride that we have elected a black man for the first time is kosher and cool, but to act like this "undoes" anything, erases previous mistakes, or is generally some salvation is ignoring the history of the US and subject to much hyperbole…
Devin, knock off the political shit. Please.
What's funny to me is that all of the people who voted for Obama and who are chanting his victory praises seem to think that there was never another african-american to run for office. Jesse Jackson did it back in the eighties and failed…If Obama had never run, if it had been someone else as the Democrat they would have gotten elected because of the popular opinion of the country right now.
Congratulations. Since you clearly come from the country whose major contribution to the world in the last 100 years was giving birth to Mussolini, I believe you must hate Jews even more than you hate all other people, so I understand why you would support that evil, corrupt, anti-Semitic monster. I just hope that when Iran invades my country, with Secretary Jackson's & Secretary Wright's blessing, when the new world leader Russia starts its seventh invasion of another country in Europe and the second world leader, China, finishes taking over Asia, when USA turns into a pathetic non-country whose foreign policies will be dictated by France, when your taxes become 400% of their current size, when you finally start paying 100 dollars for half a plastic bottle of gasoline, I hope you'll look around you, cry in desperation and curl into a small pile in some dirty hole of your bare cement floor. But hey, cheer up, at least by then you won't be fat anymore, from all the hunger!
And I'll be laughing. Iran may attack us, we Israelis survived through far, far worse. But you, like the spoiled fat worms you are, you will squirm. As your evil God's right hemisphere preached for the last 20 years, "GOD DAMN AMERICA!", and may the punishment of its damnation come very soon, elected by your own evil and stupidity. I will then wait in my land, my home, my Israel, and even if there are Iranian bombs falling around, I'll think of your self-elected misery, and, by God, I shall laugh.
Well said, Mr Faraci, well said.
Ah, the sweet, delicious tears of selfish and small minded right-wing scum. The best man won and the United States (and the world) will be all the better for it. If that really bothers you so much, kill yourselves.
Don't thank me, Devin. I had nothing to do with it. Thankfully.
The spite vote didn't win this election thankfully. You know, the people who vote opposite of the candidate everyone is raving about…just because. Shit just got too bad. You don't even have to like Obama but the truth remains that the Democratic party had to win. The Republicans had 8 years and shit is as bad as it has ever been.
You guys will be singing a different tune in a year when hes still talking about hope and a lot of people are unemployed. He'll still be talking about change when his healthcare system fails. He'll still be talking about a new america when you all turn on him like every democrat does.
At least the price of watermelon should go down.
SUCK IT, neocon right wing fu*ks. A previous poster put it so eloquently "bitter tears taste great". Please spill some more.
Ah, youth. Too bad it's wasted on the young.
I knew I'd live to see the day when a black man could be president, I just hoped it wouldn't be this one. Well, my people can rejoice, even though they can't come up with one qualification for this guy other than he's black.
Never underestimate the power of ignorant people in large groups.
BTW, I also thought this was a movie site. I get enough politics from the talking heads, this place is supposed to be a respite from all that.
to all of those that claim to quit reading this site because of the political opinions of one of its authors: die
devin: well done.
Devin – as an atheist, you don't get to say "God Bless America." Say "Science Bless America."
You also don't get any gifts at the holidays. Jerk.
I like how Devin says America has "grown up". This is amazing coming from a childish, spitful little turd. Devin is just as much of a hate mongering piece of garbage as certain elements on the right he just paints it with a different brush. He is a loathsome human being.
What really pisses me off about all of this is that Devin and the CHUD programmers somehow figured out a way to FORCE non-Obama voters to click on the link to this article.
Ok… that is not so hard to believe, but then… THEN… these same programmers were able to FORCE the person to read the whole article. That is just despicable.
And if that wasn't bad enough, somehow… somehow the site was also able to MAKE them post on here and generate more ad revenue for CHUD.
You CHUD guys are a bunch of dirty bastards!
Now I'm off to get my movie news from Fox News, and you all can go to hell because you're a bunch of gay atheists. Am I right???
Devin —
How about a follow-up on Prop 8 in CA, and the related measures in FL and AZ. Arkansas actually managed to ban gay adoption, for fuck's sake. Bittersweet day, to me.
His job is to give speeches and represent us to the rest of the world. I think Obama can do a great job in both those respects. As far as fixing anything, he's only one guy. So long as the Democratic and Republican parties remain corrupt and beholden to the influences of private investors, nothing will change. America's wealth will continue to be raped until there is nothing left. But thats at least a decade away. Until then, lets all pat ourselves on the backs. At least now Black kids don't have any excuse for not doing their homework.
God Bless America.
We sure will be needing it.
I don't care either way – I just came to get away from election news and read about movie news. And I found this shit. I love Chud, but FUCK DEVIN.
"We live in a country that elected a black president. America has grown up."
One of the most juvenile political statements I've read in a while.
Wow, these newly hatched CHUD detractors are completely full of shit. You know that in a month when this is old news they'll be opening CHUD tabs like it's their wayward cousin's episodes on BangBros…
How did this happen? I thought everything in America was built to oppress black people. I feel like I have been lied to by the Democrats and the Rainbow Coalition all these years…
Here's the Change America voted for: Higher taxes, Higher spending, more intrusive government, an even larger welfare state, yet more infractions on the 2nd Amendment, and so forth. In addition, most Americans know very little of this man's background, either due to ignorance or secrecy involving Obama's younger days. Indeed, this will be Change, but I doubt it will be for the better.
Hey, kids….chill out. At least it wasn't Hillary right? So your cup's at least half-full just on that count – half full of smooth smooth chocolate….
America your fertile plain gives rise to rise to jars of beer, and spaceships are buried in your beautiful mountains, and one day a toddler will salute you with his tiny tiny hand, and sail away on a sails of a model t car ship, america, America, AMERICA, AMERICAAAA, Here's your new national anthem……
We elected a man with no governing experience and little political experience to the office of President because he promised to fix all our problems, take money from the rich people and give it to us, and make sure all our needs are taken care of by the government. That's as "grown up" as a child getting into a stranger's car because he's offering free candy and a ride to the circus. Just because he's a black man doesn't make him the perfect choice, and just because I voted McCain doesn't make me an ignorant, negative, hateful, fearful racist. But if you want to believe that I think Jim Crow laws are swell and refer to Obama as 'boy' because I didn't vote for him, that's a very "grown up" stance to take.
Yeah and Sarah Palin has amazing experience. And John McCain is a war hero.
The man was a POW. He didn't do shit in the war. He graduated 964 out of 970 at the Naval Academy. He JUST found out what SS is back in September. That's coming from a man who's been collecting it for the past ten years.
I voted Obama not only for his message of hope, but because other countries love Obama. We need to befriend countries instead of making enemies. We need to lay off of fossil fuels. We need to stop fighting. I need my goddamn money back that Bush, and McCain if he were in office, took away from me.
If I'm begging for too much then I guess I'm just a pot-smoking liberal yuppie.
FUCK McCAIN/PALIN
PS – Q. What's the difference between Sarah Palin's mouth and her vagina?
A. Only a 1/5 of what comes out of her vagina is retarded.
I FOR ONE WELCOME OUR NEW DEMOCRATIC OVERLORDS
From the WSJ:
"Republicans can console themselves that soon Democrats won't have George W. Bush to kick around anymore. They'll now have to take responsibility if the economy stays in recession, or if Iraq turns chaotic again after an abrupt U.S. withdrawal. Americans have entrusted Democrats with what will essentially be unrestrained power, and we'll soon see if liberals have learned to govern."
By the way, many of you vile little libs need a reality check. This wasn't about personal vindication for you. Disgusting comments against Palin or McCain do nothing to better your cause. It's a loss for our country.
This election day our great nation faced a historical conundrum. Traditionally, the United States of America, rather than united, are divided evenly along party lines, and for the presidential election, that means that the "undecideds," usually 10% of the populace polled, appoint with their votes the leader of the free world. This can be a tragic state of affairs, being that the undecided voters are invariably borderline retarded. They do not consider issues, experience, logic or intelligence when choosing a candidate, but rather "go with their gut," which is a euphamism for choosing the better-looking one. In the last election, for instance, though Bush was widely believed to be the worst president this nation has ever had, Kerry lost because the undecideds decided he looked like evidence Herman Munster had a child with Lurch. As usual, the better-looking (though, in this case, obviously evil) candidate won. (And when I say "better," I don't mean "good." There's a vast difference between the two words: see, if you have a cold sore, and I say that it's looking better, that doesn't mean it looks good. It just means it looks less grotesque than it did the last time I saw it. Remember, politics is, after all, show business for ugly people.) With all this in mind, certainly judging by looks alone it shouldn't have been difficult to predict the obvious winner in this year's contest. However – for the first time in history, it was not simply a matter of voting in the less grotesque old white guy. No. This time, race was a factor. And remember, in local elections, usually people vote along racial lines. And racism is everywhere in this country. It's not just in pockets of the deep south or interracial slums. Americans of every age and walk of life remorselessly resent and discriminate against coloreds. I am proud to be an American today, and proud of our great undecideds and what they've bravely announced to the world: that Americans are, at the bottoms of their hearts, far more shallow than they are racist. Now I can only hope the secret service rig up some kind of bullet-proof Segway or something for the guy.
IN YOUR FACE RED STATES.
Anyone else hear the booing of Obama's name during McCain's last ever speech? I didn't hear ANY booing of McCain from the 75,000 in Chicago. Welcome back to the international community America.
1. Freedom of speech. Devin can write this if he wants, you can complain about it if you want. It isn't going to change a damn thing.
2. Devin always brings his views about the world to everything he writes. Get used to it. If you don't like it, don't read it. Nobody went Clockwork Orange on your ass and forced you to read the terrifying liberal propaganda. The saddest thing about all this nonsense is that all of the people who claim they aren't gonna be on this site will still hit it up.
Fuck you and this piece of shit site for promoting the worst Socialist piece of turd you nieve people could put into office! I will tell you I told you so! Morons!
Last Night : One giant leap for race relations in America, One huge step backwards for Gay Rights! Shame on you, California, Florida and Arkansas
To all the naysayers, all I have to say is, don't become that bitter old hag who wouldn't give out candy to kids for Halloween because they didn't support McCain. America has made history, enjoy it! We haven't had a bright day here in America for awhile now, let's sit back and soak up the sunshine for a bit.
I wish Devin would post a rant about Prop 8, so all the salty conservatives on this site would FINALLY LEAVE!! Devin gets on my nerve sometimess, but now I feel sorry for him knowing the kind of trash who frequent here, at least judging by all the joe the plumber's in the comments section. Yes, we have a black president, get over it. Go jerk off to your poster-size Sarah Palin pictures.
Dear Rob and SayNoToSocialism,
Please understand what socialism actually is before spewing that Obama is 'one'. Living in fear and ignorance of a term you clearly don't understand only makes you appear ill educated and intolerant. Obama is no more a socialist than Bush was.
Taxes pay for things like roads, government services, infrastructure and war. Why is it remotely evil or 'socialist' to want to divert those same taxes to universal health care and other things for the betterment of everyone's quality of life when the majority of the people in a democracy want it? The answer is it isn't. If you want to live by the sword of democracy you have to die by it too. The people have spoken democratically and if you don't like it you'll have your chance to change it in four years with your vote.
A great day and a shameful one. Great because, for better or worse, we have finally elected an African-American president.
Shameful, because even in the 21st century, people are still ENTIRELY too concerned with what happens between consenting adults. As a lifelong resident of California, I can say without reservation that Prop. 8 is embarrassing, regressive and hateful.
I love all the socialist talk. Everybody trotted out the socialist bugbear when Clinton was elected and we are no more closer to socialism now than we were then. Conservatives crack me up with their "intrusive government" spiel. I guess intrusive government is perfectly fine as long as they are telling people who they can fuck, who they can marry, whether or not you can purchase birthcontrol, or what women can or can't do with their bodies.
Republicans: Guys, come on, can't we just keep a movie site about movies? Why we gotta delve into politics and shit? Plus Obama's a socialist.
Devin's Leftist Leaning Acolytes: Fuck you, you fucking Republican fucks! I'm going to kill all of you because you don't fucking agree with me! Fuck Fuck Fuck! Die Die Die!
Ah, it's great to be a Liberal and so open-minded to opinions of others. Unless they disagree with me, then we have to kill them all!
Heh heh. You poor, poor deluded sheep. As if electing the guy who just spent THE MOST MONEY IN AMERICAN HISTORY to get elected will change anything. You're all a bunch of retards.
So, to be clear, are you guys saying CHUD owes you something? These guys are not paid. We come here to hear what they have to say, and Devin happened to have something to say about Obama's victory. Our collective misconception that the world owes us something is exactly how we got into this financial mess. If you want movie journalism instead of a respected, well-written blog, subscribe to a movie journal or write it yourself. Mind you, the writers of CHUD don't even owe us good writing. I come back consistently because they give it to me anyway. Maybe the words you are looking for are "thank you."
I don't know what the hell y'all were thinking bringing back talkbacks. I really hope a per-user-basis kill switch is in the works for them if you insist on keeping them around, because fuck this bullshit. If I wanted to see the absolute worst of what humanity has to offer, I'd still post at AICN.
What's those backward conservatives doing reading about films anyway? Everybody in movies are anti-backwardness, so i guess the troglodytes come just to find something to be outraged about
Dear Look Up Socialism: You can question one's merits on what is and isn't socialism all day long. Most consider the redistribution of wealth from one class to another (in pursuit of an egalitarian society) as socialism. Obama declared such intentions. Is taxing the wealthy the answer to this country problems? What defines a person as being wealthy? (It ranged from to $250,000 to $150,000 just this past week, what will it be next week?). Penalizing the success of a person makes little sense to me. Raising taxes on businesses at a time when they are already cutting jobs will be disastrous.
Oh, universal health care sounds nice until you have to figure out a way to pay for it. If you think that will be a simple matter of diverting taxes to such a program, then you are the one sorely "ill educated". If past history on government programs are an indication of how this will turn out, you can expect it to much more expensive than you think, poorly conceived, and the American taxpayer will get the shaft. Care to argue that?
I dunno, the whole politics mixed with movie reviews works with me, us not living on an island and all that. Well…. actually I do live on an island.
So I don't mind Chud posting a piece about the US election and a congrats to Obama. It's a little weird reading the angry feedback and I always wonder why Devin's haters post here; but then I remember they didn't make it through school so they have no homework to complete.
to Rob……."Nieve"?
fuck this board. i want movie news, not socialist propaganda
please get rid of comments again. There is nothing to gain from the conversation above. I feel like I'm on aintitcool.
