McCain’s Offices Evacuated After Suspicious Letters Found

Where is Ayres????

the repubs will do anything to get elected

Pretty sick when there are people who work in these headquarters and have to fear something like this. Not accusing any side of doing this, because that is just downright stupid. I will say, whoever did it, should be ashamed of themselves. I don’t think John McCain or Barack Obama would approve of such acts.

“White Powder Substance”
Obama’s cocaine dealer obviously got mixed up and delivered to the wrong address. Now Michelle Obama will need to pull a Whitney and smuggle some to Denver.
Easily fixed.

These comments are all from McCain supporters. You truly should be ashamed. This type of situation is nothing to joke about and your post represent a blind, heartless and ignorant vision of America. It’s a shame you are allowed to vote. Thank goodness no one was harmed.

Peggy
It has to be one of you nutcase Obamabots. Angry over Obama’s dropping poll numbers

Andrew – no, thanks for the insult. Just knew someone who was exposed to the “white powder” via mail and died. It’s serious so take your obnoxious comments and be thankful no one was hurt.

It’s always good to see Republicans making jokes about a potentially serious situation.
As long as it isn’t them, they don’t care. Even if it involves their own candidate’s volunteers or staff.
Stay classy, Republicans.
Stay greedy.

Uh-oh better get out your duct tape and old plastic sheeting. Tom Ridge is back on the radar and CR is still hanging around. Wake up lemmings! Time to get scared again. Bruce Ivin’s ghost has struck. Beware!
Look under your bed. There’s a commie oops a terrorist under it. Reruns are being played

Hoax.
Anything to take the spotlight off of McCain himself today.

Some of the statements reacting to this story are juvenile.
Making jokes about cocaine use is not funny (I have seen statements both about Obama and Cindy McCain. It doesn’t matter what party, if any, one belongs to, joking about substance abuse is just immature).
As for those behind the letters and the white powder, everyone take a breath and a step back and let the proper authorities do their investigating before we all come up with irrational conspiracy theories.

Corn starch is used in envelopes by some large mailers, some people are just parinoid.

MJ you know I really am starting to feel that way with the sudden deaths of two superdelegates for Hillary its scary. I am sure there will be no link to Obama or the Obama campaign in regards to this white powder I say if one more person who supported hillary gets hurt its time to investigate.

jeez they could of waited for tomorrow looks like someone trying to change topics lol

jeez they could of waited for tomorrow looks like someone trying to change topics lol
Of course they are trying to change the subject. McShame can not take the heat when Obama hit he back.

Have a little compassion Obama supporters. No one deserves this.

Getting desperate, McCain?
This is low, even for you. Well, not for you. This is actually on par for you.
It’s low, just in general.

John McCain = war hero veteran
Barack Obama = “un-American” elitist
our decision is easy for Nov.

This is getting out of hand.
Michelle Obama is right — “down right mean”…. and this goes for both sides.

kissy that was so funny girl!!! Not

You would think it would be Shobama’s teeth that are yellow with all that cigarette smoking he does. What a pathetic role model for his own children. If he doesn’t care enough about his own kids to stop smoking, why on earth would you ever think he cares anything about you?

If Obama is elected President, is this the type of stuff we’ll be seeing from his radicals like Rev Wright, Terrorist Ayers, Black Panthers?

So Karl Rove… Who will believe that fake story? Worst… What’s the next one? McCain almost got shot???
What a shame

Uh oh…looks like the confirmed “evidence” planter Karl Rove is up to his dirty tricks again.

karl rove meet axelrod lol lets get ready to rumble chicago style

wow im goin to denver with my young vibrant friends

if a baby survived an abortion my guess is it wouldnt be pretty or for very long!
some people act like they would come out healthy and happy not a scratch on them!!

didnt bush use “white powder” anthrax to scare americans into linking iraq to bin laden?
not that there isnt alot of whack jobs out there it could be true but i dont trust mccain he showed he wasnt any different then them when he didnt stand up against the same smears they used against him in 2000 and this all happens after some guy threatened to kill obama?!

bah! The Repubs are trying their old strategy again…,make everyone scared so fear will drive people to support their tired and failed policies. Like the last time when white powder was sent to people, it was sent by OUR VERY OWN government people. Wouldn’t be surprised if McWar sent this white powder to hisself just to get people thinking “the opposition are terrorists” How LOW will you go McLOW?

i would of believe it maybe if it had not come after the housegate

Where is Obama? Why isn’t he denouncing this terrorist act? Hmmm, instead he wants to talk about people’s houses. Since they both make over $5 million, I don’t see why either of them brings up the subject at all. But Obama should denounce this type of behavior.

keating 5 keating 5 keating 5 keating 5 keating 5 keating 5 lol
WOW because mccain and clinton arent exempt from wacko’s we are all pure evil? DITO!

I am sure that this is the work of a Obama Robot to ensure that McCain’s team cannot respond in Denver to attacks on him at the convention, or err the Coronation ! I am a lifelong Democrat, a male with 2 graduate degrees and a professional 6 figure income- I cannot in good conscience vote for an arrogant rookie like Obama. McCain is my only choice to stop Obama.

Terrorist Act Definition: any act or threat that is meant to instill fear or terror in others. For those of you idiots who don’t know what a terrorist act is….lol. A letter containing death threats and a powder substance is such an act even if the powder ends up only being baking soda. Why? because the act achieved the intended result of instilling fear or terror in others. Why isn’t Obama denouncing this???

how many ppl are goin to be to the gop convention lol

These comments are all from McCain supporters.

Obama is not the person you should be referring
to.You should be asking “Where is Bush? Why isn’t
he denouncing this terrorist act? Oh that’s right,
he’s on vacation A G A I N ! ! ! ! Boy that trip to
the Olympics really got him bushed…….

Nonsense, Obama has many nutty supporters—–they are acting out of anger that McCain has moved up and it now looks as if Obama is most likely to lose even on the boards—-sending white substance with a scarrey letter seems about consistent with so many of their personalities. It isn’t like most of Obama’s close friends aren’t terrorists or communists. Ayers, Black Panthers, his hateful wife and Reverend, the American Socialist etc., Odinga etc etc

This is just sickening. Nearly every one of you.
McCain supports saying it simply MUST be cocaine from an Obama supporter who’s pissed at his current rating.
Obama supporters saying it simply MUST be some republican trick make it look like dems did it.
None of you even give a rat’s ass what’s really at stake here. No, you’re all too busy picking sides like it’s some big stupid reality show. And “ooh ooh when my candidate wins I get to say neener neener to the big losers.”
Have YOU done the research on each candidate? And I DON’T mean did you watch the news or listen to what Limbaugh or Franken or anyone else has to say about each candidate. Have YOU personally researched each candidate to help you choose the better man for the job? If you have, good for you. But I seriously doubt it.
Most people will choose to believe the ads and the hype and the BS talk shows because they’re too lazy to find out for themselves. And that’s exactly how your government wants to keep you – uninformed and ignorant of the real facts.

Does this make up for the guy that threatened to kill Obama the other day?

Check the handwriting, I’m guessing it matches someone associated with the McCain campaign…………

but im starting to think you all already know that

The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The five senators, Alan Cranston (D-CA), Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ), John Glenn (D-OH), John McCain (R-AZ), and Donald W. Riegle (D-MI), were accused of improperly aiding Charles H. Keating, Jr., chairman of the failed Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which was the target of an investigation by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB).
After a lengthy investigation, the Senate Ethics Committee determined in 1991 that Alan Cranston, Dennis DeConcini, and Donald Riegle had substantially and improperly interfered with the FHLBB in its investigation of Lincoln Savings. Senators John Glenn and John McCain were cleared of having acted improperly but were criticized for having exercised “poor judgment”.
All five of the senators involved served out their terms. Only Glenn and McCain ran for re-election, and they were both re-elected.
Circumstances
See also: Savings and Loan crisis
The U.S. Savings and Loan crisis of the 1980s and 1990s was the failure of 747 savings and loan associations (S&Ls) in the United States. The ultimate cost of the crisis is estimated to have totaled around $160.1 billion, about $124.6 billion of which was directly paid for by the U.S. taxpayer.[1].
The concomitant slowdown in the finance industry and the real estate market may have been a contributing cause of the 1990-1991 economic recession. Between 1986 and 1991, the number of new homes constructed per year dropped from 1.8 million to 1 million, the lowest rate since World War II.[2]
The Keating Five scandal was prompted by the activities of one particular savings and loan: Lincoln Savings and Loan Association of Irvine, California. Lincoln’s chairman was Charles Keating, who ultimately served five years in prison for his corrupt mismanagement of Lincoln.[3] In the four years since Keating’s American Continental Corporation (ACC) had purchased Lincoln in 1984, Lincoln’s assets had increased from $1.1 billion to $5.5 billion.[4] Such savings and loan associations had been deregulated in the early 1980s, allowing them to make highly risky investments with their depositors’ money, a change of which Keating took advantage.[4] Lincoln’s investments took the form of buying land, taking equity positions in real estate development projects, and buying high-yield junk bonds.[5]
Corruption allegations
The core allegation of the Keating Five affair is that Keating had made contributions of about $1.3 million to various U.S. Senators, and he called on those Senators to help him resist regulators. The regulators backed off, to later disastrous consequences.
Beginning in 1985, Edwin J. Gray, chair of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB), feared that the savings industry’s risky investment practices were exposing the government’s insurance funds to huge losses.[5] Gray instituted a rule whereby savings associations could hold no more than ten percent of their assets in “direct investments”,[5] and were thus prohibited from taking ownership positions in certain financial entities and instruments.[6] Lincoln had become burdened with bad debt resulting from its past aggressiveness, and by early 1986,[5] its investment practices were being investigated and audited by the FHLBB:[7] in particular, whether it had violated these direct investment rules; Lincoln had directed FDIC-insured accounts into commercial real estate ventures.[4] By the end of 1986, the FHLBB had found that Lincoln had $135 million in unreported losses and had surpassed the regulated direct investments limit by $600 million.[5]
Keating had earlier taken several measures to oppose Gray and the FHLBB, including recruiting a study from then-private economist Alan Greenspan saying that direct investments were not harmful,[5] and getting President Ronald Reagan to make a recess appointment of a Keating ally, Atlanta real estate developer Lee H. Henkel Jr., to an open seat on the FHLBB.[5] But by March 1987, Henkel had resigned, upon news of his having large loans due to Lincoln.[5]
It appeared as though the government might seize Lincoln for being insolvent.[6] The investigation was, however, taking a long time.[7] Keating was asking that Lincoln be given a lenient judgment by the FHLBB, so that it could limit its high risk investments and get into the safe (at the time) home mortgage business, thus allowing the business to survive. A letter from audit firm Arthur Young & Co. bolstered Keating’s case that the government investigation was taking a long time.[8] Keating now wanted the five senators to intervene with the FHLBB on his behalf.
By March 1987, Keating and DeConcini were asking McCain to travel to San Francisco to meet with regulators regarding Lincoln Savings; McCain refused.[8][6] DeConcini told Keating that McCain was nervous about interfering.[6] Keating called McCain a “wimp” behind his back, and on March 24, Keating and McCain had a heated, contentious meeting.[8]
On April 2, 1987, a meeting with chairman Gray of the FHLBB was held in DeConcini’s Capitol office, with Senators Cranston, Glenn, and McCain also in attendance.[6] DeConcini started the meeting with a mention of “our friend at Lincoln.”[6] Gray told the assembled senators that he did not know the particular details of the status of Lincoln Savings and Loan, and that the senators would have to go to the bank regulators in San Francisco that had oversight jurisdiction for the bank. Gray did offer to set up a meeting between those regulators and the senators.[6]
On April 9, 1987, a two-hour meeting[4] with three members of the FHLBB San Francisco branch was held, again in DeConcini’s office, to discuss the government’s investigation of Lincoln.[8][6] Present were Cranston, DeConcini, Glenn, McCain, and additionally Riegle.[6] The regulators felt that the meeting was very unusual and that they were being pressured by a united front, as the senators presented their reasons for having the meeting.[6] McCain said, “One of our jobs as elected officials is to help constituents in a proper fashion. ACC is a big employer and important to the local economy. I wouldn’t want any special favors for them…. I don’t want any part of our conversation to be improper.” Glenn said, “To be blunt, you should charge them or get off their backs,” while DeConcini said, “What’s wrong with this if they’re willing to clean up their act? … It’s very unusual for us to have a company that could be put out of business by its regulators.”[6] The regulators then revealed that Lincoln was under criminal investigation on a variety of serious charges, at which point McCain severed all relations with Keating.[6] Glenn continued to help Keating after that revelation, by setting up a meeting with then-House Majority Leader Jim Wright, which turned out to be the only questionable thing Glenn did throughout the whole affair.[9]
The San Francisco regulators finished their report in May 1987 and recommended that Lincoln be seized by the government due to unsound lending practices.[6][4] Gray, whose time as chair was about to expire, deferred action on the report, saying that his adversarial relationship with Keating would make any action he took seem vindictive, and that instead the incoming chair should take over the decision.[5] Meanwhile Keating filed a lawsuit against the FHLBB, saying it had leaked confidential information about Lincoln.[5] The new FHLBB chair was M. Danny Wall, who was more sympathetic to Keating and took no action on the report, saying its evidence was insufficient.[4][6] In September 1987, the Lincoln investigation was removed from the San Francisco group and in May 1988, a new audit of Lincoln began in Washington.[6]
News of the April meetings between the senators and the FHLBB officials first appeared in National Thrift News in September 1987, but was only sporadically covered by the general media for the next year and a half.[10]
Failure of Lincoln
Lincoln stayed in business; from mid-1987 to April 1989, its assets grew from $3.91 billion to $5.46 billion.[5] During this time, the parent American Continental Corporation was desperate for cash inflow to make up for losses in real estate purchases and projects.[11] Lincoln’s branch managers and tellers convinced customers to replace their federally-insured certificates of deposit with higher-yielding bond certificates of American Continental; the customers later said they were never properly informed that the bonds were uninsured and very risky given the state of American Continental’s finances.[11]
American Continental went bankrupt in April 1989, and Lincoln was seized by the FHLBB on April 14, 1989.[4] More than 21,000 mostly elderly investors lost their life savings. This total came to about $285 million.[citation needed] The federal government was liable for $2 billion to cover Lincoln’s losses when it seized the institution.[11]
Keating was hit with a $1.1 billion fraud and racketeering action, filed against him by the regulators.[4] Asked whether his contributions had bought him influence, Keating said: “I want to say in the most forceful way I can: I certainly hope so.”[12]
When the former chairman of the FHLBB went public about the Senators’ assistance to Keating, that set off a series of investigations by the California government, the United States Department of Justice, and the Senate Ethics Committee. The Ethics Committee’s investigation focused on all five senators, who soon became known as the “Keating Five”. The initial charges against the five Senators were brought by Common Cause, a public interest group, and the Senate’s inquiry subsequently lasted 22 months.[13]
Relationships of senators to Keating
Once Lincoln failed, the relationships of all the senators to Keating came under intense press scrutiny.
Cranston had received $39,000 from Keating and his associates for his 1986 Senate re-election campaign. Furthermore, Keating had donated some $850,000 to assorted groups founded by Cranston or controlled by him, and another $85,000 to the California Democratic Party.[4]
DeConcini had received about $48,000 from Keating and his associates for his 1988 Senate re-election campaign.[4] In September 1989, DeConcini stated he would return the money.[4]
Glenn had received $34,000 in direct contributions from Keating and his associates for his 1984 presidential nomination campaign, and a political action committee tied to Glenn had received an additional $200,000.[4]
McCain and Keating had become personal friends following their initial contacts in 1981.[8] Between 1982 and 1987, McCain had received $112,000 in lawful[14] political contributions from Keating and his associates.[15] In addition, McCain’s wife Cindy McCain and her father Jim Hensley had invested $359,100 in a Keating shopping center in April 1986, a year before McCain met with the regulators. McCain, his family, and their baby-sitter had made nine trips at Keating’s expense, sometimes aboard Keating’s jet. Three of the trips were made during vacations to Keating’s opulent Bahamas retreat at Cat Cay. McCain did not pay Keating (in the amount of $13,433) for some of the trips until years after they were taken, when he learned that Keating was in trouble over Lincoln.[6][16]
Riegle had received some $76,000 from Keating and his associates for his 1988 Senate re-election campaign.[4] Riegle later announced in April 1988 he was returning the money.[5]
Conclusion of investigation
The Senate Ethics Committee’s report regarding the Keating matter came out in August 1991, and addressed each of the five senators.[17]
Cranston: severely reprimanded
The Senate Ethics Committee ruled that Cranston had acted improperly by interfering with the investigation by the FHLBB.[17] He had received more than a million dollars from Keating, had done more arm-twisting than the other Senators on Keating’s behalf, and was the only Senator officially rebuked by the Senate in this matter.[18]
Cranston was given the harshest penalty of all five Senators. In November of 1991, the Senate Ethics Committee voted unanimously to reprimand Cranston, instead of the more severe measure that was under consideration: censure by the full Senate. Extenuating circumstances that helped to save Cranston from censure were the fact that he was suffering from cancer, and that he had decided to not seek reelection, according to the Chairman of the Ethics Committee, Democratic Senator Howell Heflin of Alabama. The Ethics Committee took the unusual step of delivering its reprimand to Cranston during a formal session of the full Senate, with almost all 100 Senators present.[13]
Cranston was not accused of breaking any specific laws or rules, but of violating standards that Heflin said “do not permit official actions to be linked with fund-raising.” The Ethics Committee officially found that Cranston’s conduct had been “improper and repugnant”, deserving of “the fullest, strongest and most severe sanction which the committee has the authority to impose.” The sanction was in these words: “the Senate Select Committee on Ethics, on behalf of and in the name of the United States Senate, does hereby strongly and severely reprimand Sen. Alan Cranston.”[13]
After the Senate reprimanded Cranston for repugnant conduct, Cranston took to the Senate floor to deny key charges against him. In response, Senator Warren Rudman of New Hampshire, the Republican Vice-Chairman of the Ethics Committee, charged that Cranston’s response to the reprimand was “arrogant, unrepentant and a smear on this institution,” and that Cranston was wrong to imply that everyone does what Cranston had done. Alan Dershowitz, serving as Senator Cranston’s attorney, alleged that other Senators had merely been better at “covering their tracks.”[13] Likewise, political historian Lewis Gould has written that, “the real problem for the ‘Keating Three’ who were most involved was that they had been caught.”[19]
Riegle and DeConcini: criticized for acting improperly
The Senate Ethics Committee ruled that Riegle and DeConcini had acted improperly by interfering with the investigation by the FHLBB.[17]
DeConcini later charged that McCain had leaked to the press sensitive information about the investigation that came from some of the closed proceedings of the Ethics Committee.[6] McCain denied doing so, although one congressional investigator concluded that McCain had been one of the main leakers during that time.[6]
Glenn and McCain: cleared of impropriety but criticized for poor judgment
The Senate Ethics Committee ruled that the involvement of Glenn in the scheme was minimal, and the charges against him were dropped.[17] He was only criticized by the Committee for “poor judgment.”[20]
The Ethics Committee ruled that the involvement of McCain in the scheme was also minimal, and he too was cleared of all charges against him.[18][17] McCain was criticized by the Committee for exercising “poor judgment” when he met with the federal regulators on Keating’s behalf.[6] The report also said that McCain’s “actions were not improper nor attended with gross negligence and did not reach the level of requiring institutional action against him….Senator McCain has violated no law of the United States or specific Rule of the United States Senate.”[14] On his Keating Five experience, McCain has said: “The appearance of it was wrong. It’s a wrong appearance when a group of senators appear in a meeting with a group of regulators, because it conveys the impression of undue and improper influence. And it was the wrong thing to do.”[6]
Several accounts of the controversy contend that McCain was included in the investigation primarily so that there would be at least one Republican target.[21][22][23][9] Glenn’s inclusion in the investigation has been attributed to Republicans who were angered by the inclusion of McCain, as well as committee members who thought that dropping Glenn (and McCain) would make it look bad for the remaining three Democratic Senators.[21][23] Democrat Robert S. Bennett, who was the special investigator during the scandal, suggested to the Senate Ethics Committee that it pursue charges against neither McCain nor Glenn, saying of McCain, “that there was no evidence against him.”[22] The Vice Chairman of the Ethics Committee, Senator Warren Rudman of New Hampshire, agreed with Bennett, but the Chairman, Senator Howell Heflin of Alabama, did not agree.[9]
Regardless of the level of their involvement, both senators were greatly affected by it. McCain would write in 2002 that attending the two April 1987 meetings was “the worst mistake of my life”.[24] Glenn has described the Senate Ethics Committee investigation as the low point of his life.[7]Reactions
Not everyone was satisfied with the Senate Ethics Committee conclusions. Fred Wertheimer, president of Common Cause, which had initially demanded the investigation, thought the treatment of the senators far too lenient, and said, “The U.S. Senate remains on the auction block to the Charles Keatings of the world.”[25] Joan Claybrook, president of Public Citizen, called it a “whitewash”.[25] Jonathan Alter of Newsweek said it was a classic case of the government trying to investigate itself, labelling the Senate Ethics Committee “shameless” for having “let four of the infamous Keating Five off with a wrist tap.”[26] Margaret Carlson of Time suspected the committee had timed its first report to coincide with the run-up to the Gulf War, minimizing its news impact.[25]Aftermath
Cranston left office in January of 1993, and died in December of 2000. DeConcini and Riegle continued to serve in the Senate until their terms expired, but they did not seek re-election in 1994. DeConcini was appointed by President Bill Clinton in February 1995 to the Board of Directors of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. [27]
Glenn did choose to run for re-election in 1992, and it was anticipated that he would have some difficulty winning a fourth term in the Senate. However, Glenn handily defeated Lieutenant Governor R. Michael DeWine for one more term in the Senate before retiring in 1999.
After 1999, the only member of the Keating Five remaining in the U.S. Senate was John McCain, who had an easier time gaining re-election in 1992 than he anticipated,[28] and who ran for president in 2000 and became the Republican presumptive nominee in 2008. McCain survived the political scandal by, in part, becoming friendly with the political press, and in part by not letting the controversy detract from his work as a senator.[28]
The scandal was followed by a number of attempts to adopt campaign finance reform—spearheaded by U.S. Sen. David Boren (D-OK)—but most attempts died in committee. A weakened reform was passed in 1993. Substantial campaign finance reform was not passed until the adoption of the McCain-Feingold Act in 2002.

Debra…Yes, laugh now, but we’ll we laughing all the way to the White House when Obama ends up being the best President EVER..despite the spiteful HRC

I’m guessing this was a response to McCain’s stupid and reckless statements on the David Letterman show, in which he publicly tried to cast suspicion on Iraq for the anthrax attacks.
But if so, this response is equally stupid and reckless.

Debra-
Bring on Rezko, bring on Ayers- its not like you got anything positive you can talk about or intelligent to say.- at the same time lets not forget the Keating 5.
When someone can’t tell you how many houses they own then they are out of touch.

mccain is just a scary old old man, he would love to get world war 3 started and he would really love bringing the working class to there knees because he is just another wicked devil worshiping republican.

rant3000– and what about him being in the keating five and his supporting and wanting to carry on king georges evil empire policies.

every letter mccain gets should be looked at because mccain is such a dirty wicked crooked man it is probably some under handed deal.

You all bring up the Keating 5 but last I checked 3 Democratic Senators were found to have committed actual offenses, One Democrat John Glenn and one Republican John McCain were cleared? Now as for actual illegal dealings Obama’s buddy’s Rezko & Ayres have both committed illegal acts.. Ayers was cleared but admitted to the offense and said he was proud of his actions (proud to be an American terrorist) going on to say he wishes he could have done more. Then there is the racist Rev. Wright who Obama is quoted as saying he uses as a Sounding board in his own book. Then there is Louis Farrakhan who has said the following statements calling whites “blue eyed devils” and Jews “bloodsuckers” wow….then there was this Jem “The Jews have been so bad at politics they lost half their population in the Holocaust. They thought they could trust in Hitler, and they helped him get the Third Reich on the road.” Saviours’ Day Speech, Chicago, 2/22/98 Lets not forget this one..“I heard from a very reliable source that under that levee there was a 25 foot hole, which suggested that it may have been blown up, so that the water would destroy the black part of town, and where the whites lived, it would be dry.” Remarks at Shelter for Hurricane Katrina Victims, Charlotte Coliseum, Charlotte, North Carolina, 9/12/05. want more okay…According to a journalist’s account, “Farrakhan called ‘the white man’ the ‘anti-Christ’ to rousing applause.” Jackson, MS, 9/19/97, Clarion-Ledger, 9/21/97. But I forgot this is a no accountability campaign for Obama he gets a free pass on everything….Must be nice! He is a crook a cheater and a liar……But most of you are to stupid to notice…If a White Republican Presidential had associations with people making these same statements except on minorities you would have his head……But I forgot there is no reverse racism.

Just another example of the rabid political polarization this president and hiscriminal administration have orchestrated on this country. Just a couple of weeks ago in Arkansas, The state Democratic chairman was shot pointblank by a nutjob who I will guess was a Republican. And now this attack, be it hoax or real, nost likely from Democrats. We have this administration to thank. Just another dark piece of Bush’s legacy.
