Palin Warns Against ‘Second Holocaust’ by Ahmadinejad
ABC News’ Imtiyaz Delawala Reports: Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin warned against Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s pursuit of nuclear weapons for a "second holocaust," while blaming "Democrat partisans" for forcing rally organizers to withdraw her invitation to speak before an anti-Iran protest in New York next week.
"John McCain and I are committed to drawing attention to the danger posed by Iran’s nuclear program and we will not waver in our commitment," Palin told a crowd of 9,000 supporters in Blaine, MN. "I will continue to call for sustained action to prevent Iranian President Ahmadinejad from getting these weapons that he wants for a second holocaust."
In an interview last week with ABC News’ Charles Gibson in Fairbanks, Palin spoke of the need to ensure "that these weapons of mass destruction, that nuclear weapons are not given to those hands of Ahmadinejad, not that he would use them, but that he would allow terrorists to be able to use them."
In her remarks today in Minnesota, Palin also publicly addressed for the first time her canceled appearance at the "Rally to Stop Iran Now" which was originally billed as a joint appearance with Palin and Sen. Hillary Clinton. Planners of the rally yesterday disinvited all political officials from the event after criticism mounted over Palin’s invitation to speak at the protest against Ahmadinejad’s attendance at the opening of the UN General Assembly next week. In a statement yesterday, rally organizers said the decision to minimize "political personalities" was done in an effort "to keep the focus on Iranian threats and to ensure that this critical message not be obscured."
"Unfortunately, though some Democrat partisans put politics first and now no elected official will be able to appear at that "Stop Iran" rally. Iran’s pursuit of these weapons should concern all Americans; this should not be a matter for partisan politics," Palin said.
The McCain campaign released a statement under Sen. McCain’s name yesterday afternoon criticizing the Obama campaign for not participating in the rally.
"We stand shoulder to shoulder with Republicans, Democrats and independents alike to oppose Ahmadinejad’s goal of a nuclear armed Iran. Senator Obama’s campaign had the opportunity to join us. Senator Obama chose politics rather than the national interest," the statement read.
Sen. Hillary Clinton had agreed weeks ago to attend the event, but backed out of the protest late Tuesday after learning that organizers also invited the Republican vice presidential nominee without informing her.
Organized by American Jewish groups, the "Rally to Stop Iran Now" sent out a media advisory billing the joint appearance in their headline: "SEN. HILLARY CLINTON AND GOV. SARAH PALIN AT “RALLY TO STOP IRAN NOW,” AT UNITED NATIONS, MONDAY, SEPT. 22nd, 11:45 A.M."
Clinton aides were described as "furious" after learning from reporters — not rally organizers — of the plan to have Clinton and Palin appear together.
"Her attendance was news to us, and this was never billed to us as a partisan political event," said Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines in a statement to reporters on Wednesday. "Senator Clinton will therefore not be attending."

As someone who had one of the largest Jewish families in Europe at the time of the Holocaust…60% of whom were killed by the Nazi regime…I am at a loss for words…to invoke the great genocide for political gain…to use the memory of those who have been lost to the great menace…to try and capitalize on the tombs of the dead to get elected…I am horrified. I do not for a moment think that any candidate running for President or Vice-President of the United States would sit idly by and watch those events again unfold to the great horror of the world without addressing the circumstance of their making…Iran has made threats, yes, threats, and those should be taken with care and if necessary, with action, but never, never for the politics of party. Never for that for it was the politics of the Nazi Party that first gave rise to the feelings that so swept Germany and led to the Final Solution in the first place.

Talking about being a political opportunist:
1) Her introduction speech on the 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling – trying to woo the Hillary vote
2) Her claim she spoke to Ohio, off-prompter, at her acceptance speech at the RNC – trying to woo voters in the battleground state of Ohio
3) Now this ‘second holocaust’ line- trying to woo the Jewish vote in the battleground state of Florida.
Listen sweetie, why don’t you go back to Mooseland and sort out your own problems. Tell your husband to explain why he won’t respond to a subpoena and what he’s even doing getting involved in state business when he is not an elected official.

hillary should be ashamed of herself..I thought she was above all this nonsense! The world would not come to an end if Palin and Hillary were at that event! If anything, it would have shown that particpants from each party could be civil to each other and work together for a worthy cause!

I wish that they had both appeared at the rally. Think about it, we couldhave a new soprt World Feredaltion Political Smack Down. It could broadcast on Pay Per View.

Why does this article not note that it was the husband of one of McCains advisors that snuck Palins appearance into the rally. They didn’t even consult the rest of the rally leaders before extending the offer. So who’s playing politics with this event here? This is typical of the McCain camp.

Iran’s government would not give nuclear weapons or other WMDs to terrorist groups. It jsut does not make sense. Terrorist are NOT trustworthy.
Now WMDs could fall into the terrorist’s hands from Iran, that’s a legitimate concern, but Ahmadinejad would not give them on purpose.
As for a ‘Second Holocaust’ Israel has many nuclear weapons, and that wuld be suicide. Palin thinks Iran and Ahmadinejad are stupid or we are stupid or both.
It disturbs me that she mispronounces “nuclear”.

Governor Palin is an ignorant, inflammatory fearmonger, as well as a corrupt politician and a political bully. She has no concept of the impact of words from someone at her new political level. She is a danger to America in more ways than one, and is not qualified to speak for us on a world stage.

Palin Warns Against ‘Second Holocaust’ by Ahmadinejad – amen to that. Never again will the world standby to witness another “holocaust” by anyone, anywhere but especially in Israel. Let’s remember what the Creator of Israel said “I will bless those who bless you (Israel) and I will curse those who curse you (Israel)”. Let no one fool around with this promise.

you ignorant small minded people are a joke, you trash this woman without basis, you don’t know anything about her so you make it up. It is people like you that will cause Obama to loose. People can agree to disagree, but you do not have to tear down the character of others. How many of you on here have done 1% of what she has done in her 44 years. I am a Hillary supporter and I am dissapointed that she let partisinship get in the way of this, she should have stuck to her obligation and do what she had to do and let Palin do what she had to do and move on, that’s why we can’t get anywhere, that’s why other countries look at us and laugh at us, because we go out in the world and try to sell democracy to other countries, but we don’t even follow our own. It’s ridiculous to see that what our education system has produced is small minded ignorant people, maybe if some of you will pick up a book and read or do some serious research and not just listen to what the MSM(Al-Jeezara 2, Only Tell them what you want them to know) tells you you would be better off a lot of these charges that you are leveling against all of the candidates ar bogus, but you take the word of a media that is biased and tainted, instead of doing your own research. The records are there for public review. The sentate voting records, the Govenors record, it’s all there for you to review and come to your own conclusion, but no!! you would rather run with the propoganda and assail the characters of others and think that this will help your candidate. You better think again. Just shameful and disgusting and just so you know words like Bimbo does not resonate well with intelligent people.

I agree that Iran needs to be stopped- the sooner the better. But the term “second holocaust” I am somewhat uncomfortable with. It’s a bit too awkward.

Hillary Clinton was wise enough to know that at this time having Sarah Palin at the same rally would have totally overshadowed the actual cause of the rally. For Sarah Palin to politicize this is absurd! But not surprising at all. This is Rep politics at its best. But I must say, this election year they have gotten the LIES and false ads down to an art. It’s unfortunate that many will buy into it. Scary. Both McCain and Palin have tossed aside their honor and look like puppets.

She’s like a student who studies all night and is eager to show the teacher she knows something, BUT SHE DOESN’T. Nothing should be referred to as a holocaust until after it takes place. Iran can say all it wants, they are Far Far away from having a nuke. So Palin is just doing what republicans do best, FEAR MONGERING.

I do not think the girl getting pregnant was her moms fault. Although access to birth control might have prevented the pregnancy. Lots of young people get into this same situation. We cannot control our hormanlly charged teens or louse husbands. We are women but we are mortal.

Governor Palin is probably a very nice person. She’s probably also very effective in certain roles. Right now, she’s not effective in foreign policy and is not helping the country in that area. Instead of trying to “learn everything at once”, the governor should present herself as thoughtful and observant. Saying things like “a second Holocaust” scares people unnecessarily and makes her seem like an uneducated, undisciplined idiot. Observant doesn’t mean silent. It means speaking forcefully in measured tones about what is happening. (Oy vey!)

Since Palin can’t see Iran from her house, I don’t think she has the credentials to talk about Iran.

Governor Palin needs some instruction in foreign diplomacy, history and CURRENT world events. Iran unless she hasn’t noticed is bed buddies with Russia who yesterday told the US to settle the Ukraine, Georgia, Poland mess since the US had started it – kind of like saying put up or shut up. Peru, Venezuela, Argentia have all sent the U.S. Consulates home, closed the US embassies and have politely told the United States that the current foreign affairs of this country are jeopardizing world peace. For the first time in history Russia held naval war games off the coast of Central and South America (in THIS hemisphere Ms. Palin, not the middle east). Until Palestine is recognized by Israel as a soverign state you are at square one – and seeing as how George Bush’s Indianapolis meetings went no-where. Well let’s just advance to The Jerusalem Post on September 14th reported: “The US Department of Defense has notified Congress of a potential sale to Israel of 1,000 smart bombs capable of penetrating underground bunkers, which would likely be used in the event of a military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Two Royal Airforce men checking SBU-39 missiles attached to an F-15 fighter jet. The notification to Congress was made over the weekend by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, the branch of the Pentagon responsible for evaluating foreign military sales. Congress has 30 days to object to the deal. The deal is valued at $77 million and the principal contractor would be Boeing Integrated Defense Systems. The bomb Israel wants is the GBU-39, developed in recent years by the US as a small-diameter bomb for low-cost, high-precision and low-collateral damage strikes.
Israel has also asked for 150 mounting carriages, 30 guided test vehicles and two instructors to train the air force in loading the bombs on its aircraft.
The GPS-guided GBU-39 is said to be one of the most accurate bombs in the world. The 113 kg. bomb has the same penetration capabilities as a normal 900 kg. bomb, although it has only 22.7 kg. of explosives. At just 1.75 meters long, its small size increases the number of bombs an aircraft can carry and the number of targets it can attack in a sortie.” Now talk about that Ms. Palin since you endorse “pre-emptive” strikes against another nation that threatens your interest. If that goes for Israel, does that go for Iran also? You see Ms. Palin – one liners on the campaign trail and hurt feelings because Ms. Clinton won’t appear on the same stage as you don’t equal competency. By the way – Hillary Clinton knows Hillary Clinton – and you are no Hillary Clinton by a long shot sister.

Wow. Some people are being a tad overly critical. Her comments were neither scary or off-base. Reread the story. Anyone who thinks Iran is not a threat to America and Israel has not been paying attention. Ahmadinejad just yesterday said that even if Israel gave land to the Palestinians, that Israel still would not “survive”. The guy intends to wipe out Israel – he says it every chance he gets.

Why is everyone worried about Sarah? With a McCain win she will have a good chance of finishing out his term. And if she has trouble figuring anything out she can always turn to her fisherman/steelworker husband to handle it for her.
I see some in the Jewish community are upset with her invoking the holocaust for political purposes. But I think it’s a GOP campaign strategy to whip up the fear factor again. It makes no sense otherwise. It’s North Korea yesterday which said they were going for a reactor restart.
What is this woman doing speaking anything of foreign policies? By her own words she’s as knowledgeable as the governors of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas which all abut a foreign country. And do any of them have any direct negotiations with that neighbor? No, by law they must have the federal government speak for them. So a truthful answer from her would have been “No, I have no experience in foreign policy or relations”. I guess none of her courses of study were in any field which would benefit the nation.

If only one side was represented, it would be a partisan rally. If both sides appear, it is a non-partisan or bi-partisan rally.
What is really needed is a united effort to stand against terrorism. Hillary let her pride get to her over top of consideration for her country.
It would take a person of great humility and gravity to stand on the same stage with the woman who got what Hillary so desperately wanted, but didn’t get – a nomination.

Let me ask those who have posted here and claim to be Jewish – do you favor a nuclear Iran? Ahmadinejad has vowed the destruction of Israel and said the Holocaust never occurred. A nuclear strike at Tel Aviv could kill as many as 3 million people. It is possible that Ahmadinejad wouldn’t do it, but he would have no problem giving such a weapon to someone who would do it. Do you really disagree with Sarah Palin for speaking out against a nuclear Iran?

Diplomatically she’s as dangerous as a flame in an oil field. She burns any possible bridge of diplomacy before even trying to cross it and makes USA look like a hateful trigger happy bully that will take over countries at any time.

Quietone, I vote for Obama more enthusiastically than I have voted for any presidential candidate in my 32 years of voting. I see how this country has lost the respect of the world, started wars with falsified information, disregarded and suppressed scientific data, squandered a surplus into an insurmountable deficit and taken away our Constitutional rights under Republican leadership. I will gladly vote for someone who is thoughtful and diplomatic over a ticket that shoots first and asks questions later. Cowboy politics (and I’m from Texas) is the worst kind of foreign policy and Fat Cats First is the worst kind of domestic policy.

Organized by American Jewish groups, the “Rally to Stop Iran Now” sent out a media advisory billing the joint appearance in their headline: “SEN. HILLARY CLINTON AND GOV. SARAH PALIN AT “RALLY TO STOP IRAN NOW,” AT UNITED NATIONS, MONDAY, SEPT. 22nd, 11:45 A.M.”
Clinton aides were described as “furious” after learning from reporters — not rally organizers — of the plan to have Clinton and Palin appear together.

I’m appalled and frankly baffled that Govenor Palin can be both a warmonger and a staunch pro-life evangelical. Shame on her.
Her so-called ‘magical reality’ where she weaves a mythical narrative about the direction of this country is a yet another chapter of the fairy tale Bush presidency. No thank you.

Oh, right on Sleazy Sarah! Let’s just go out start a war with Iran, on top of a war with Russia, along with the two wars we’re already fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan! Right in the middle of the worse economic crisis since the Depression. What extraordinarily good advice! You and McCain have truly taken leave of your senses. Hint, Madame Sleazy: Americans are sick of war and the Republican fools who get us into them. Go back to Palookaville and renovate the local sewage treatment plant. That’s about all your good at.

Kim…the Palin people tried to pull Clinton into this rally and make it look like she was rallying with Palin. This IS political when you LIE to someone. You can bet Clinton is furious at this point at Palins remarks. Her fury is not something Palin wants to envoke.
Palin think she has the world on her shoulder right now and she can do no wrong!!! She has WAY over stepped her position as future VP.
She is already bringing her religion into play by mentioning the holocost and how the Jews “deserve” to be destroyed because they denied Jesus.

Inflammatory statements such as Palin’s, made at a time when our nation is battling this crippling economic crisis only highlights Mc Cain/Palin’s willingness to risk even further destablization for petty political advantage. In stark contrast, today, Obama called on Mc Cain to put this bickering aside and actually put COUNTRY FIRST by working together to solve the problems we all face. Their response? Mudslinging, name-calling and saber rattling. Sad indeed.

Miss Palin, who never went abroad thinks she can lecture us about Iran.
First getting the facts wrong on Russia – Georgia crisis (Georgia provoked the war, Saakashvili overplayed his hands) now she thinks to know everything on Iran.
Most Iranians don’t support Ahmadinejad at all, the country is in an economic mess. Ahmadinejad is just a puppet of the suppressing conservative government.
The war rhetoric is only playing in to the hands of these guys.

Could it be that the one world government has begun? I am suspicious that the U.S. media is being manipulated by unknown super-wealthy people that we will never see or hear about. Obama is just a puppet that will say and do whatever it takes to get elected. The media giants have been playing the minorities like little foot soldiers on a mission to promote and defend the very things that will destroy them. It is like an alcoholic asking for a dollar to buy another drink and you give him $100 and tell him to enjoy himself all the while hoping that he will drink himself to death so that he won’t bother you again. Obama will have no power to deliver, no matter what he promises. He will just stand there and say “I am doing the best I can folks”. It will likely be the same with McCain although he is a fighter and does seem to stand strong on his commitments but in the end will bawl or be destroyed by the world media. We must stop the world media from manipulating the way we think. I am convinced that the media is controlled by people that do not have the American people at heart. I believe their goal is to destroy the one remaining superpower so that a one world government can take over with very little resistance. I pray that we will see our immoral ways and turn away from them and that God will bless this country again. The survival of the United States is in the hands of God. It always has been and always will be. I am afraid that a day is coming that we will all truly regret.

Posted by: Emilianna | September 19, 2008, 3:41 pm 3:41 pm
Well this quote about sums this up, a quote form the great m40
Arguing with liberals is a really tough proposition. I’ve engaged in many a debate with a large cross section of mainstream liberals. They’ll quickly run out of facts and precedent, and it almost always ends with them calling me cruel, heartless, racist, fascist, or whatever other label they want to slap on me. None of them want to even hear a conservative viewpoint, nor do they really want to debate or learn anything different from their own viewpoint.
Liberals are largely unencumbered by burdensome hangups like history, facts or logic. This makes debate rather difficult because all their views are based almost entirely on how they FEEL, not that which is practical or realistic. This is often carried to the point of absurdity. In many cases, liberals will hold views that actually contradict their own views. Try and point out these obvious conflicts, and they resort to the aforementioned name-calling and slander. It’s a textbook liberal debate tactic.
The worst of the pack will pull “facts” and “statistics” out of their ass, made up on the spot in an attempt to counter your argument. How can you engage in any kind of mature and educated discourse with folks in that state of denial? This kind of intellectual dishonesty doesn’t bother most liberals. In their way of thinking, the end justifies the means, and they’ll resort to some incredible heights of spin and factual distortion to make a point. Remember that there’s a certain level of self-delusion at which the deluded party will simply slip further and further into fantasy land to support their view. If you meet one of these folks, it’s better to simply walk away… fast. Many of the 9-11 conspiracy theorists fall into this category.
Here is the single most important factor that you need to keep in mind when dealing with liberals…
Most liberal viewpoints are about as detailed and profound as your average bumper sticker. “Stop Hunger”, “Free Tibet”, “Save the World” and other grandiose campaigns are far more complicated issues than they would ever care to explore. To a liberal, merely wearing the tee shirt or slapping on the bumper sticker means that they are somehow “helping”. In their eyes, the rest of us are “part of the problem”. As such, remember that the simple act of debating or disputing their views places you in their sights as “part of the problem”. This is one of the main reasons for the contempt, hostility and outright vitriol that the liberal will throw in your direction.
Whatever their pet issue, the solution is usually that “we’re not doing enough”. Remember… by “we” they mean YOU. Typical liberal agendas involve the federal government stealing obscene amounts of money from you, and then pissing rainstorms of cash onto the “problem”. This solution has never worked in the history of the mankind, and in fact makes most problems bigger. This is because the bottom feeders of society (also liberals) then flock to take the money. The fact that their ideas don’t work doesn’t concern liberals… they have the bumper sticker, and they truly believe they’re “helping”.
I now have approximately HALF of what I make confiscated in an infinite heap of taxes, fees, tolls and duties. The harder I work, the more the liberals want. If we examine our entire national fiscal history, the lower the tax rate, the better the economy, and the government actually takes in more money. At times when taxes are raised, the economy slows, and the government takes in less money. This doesn’t matter to liberals… don’t try to confuse them with facts and historical precedent. This is another case of them “feeling” that the hardworking folks among us should suffer and have any accrued wealth removed. Here’s why…
In the overly simplistic liberal mindset, there is a fixed amount of wealth in the world, and we are all engaged in a zero-sum game of trading that same wealth back and forth. Therefore, if I have “too much”, a liberal assumes that it’s my fault that someone else has less. Essentially, if I take an extra slice of pizza, some unlucky jerk is left gnawing on the box. This is a naïve, almost childish view of the world, and shows a complete and utter ignorance of how basic economics work.
The fact is that wealth is NOT a zero-sum game. Wealth is CREATED every day through effort and ingenuity. It is in no way a static fixed pile that has to be shared. In simple terms, we can simply make more pizza. The ingredients of a pizza cost all of a dollar, but once combined in artful and knowledgeable proportions and then baked… VOILA… a $10 pizza is born! Ask a liberal if a painter should be forced to sell paintings for the exact cost of the paint and canvas, and the answer is, of course, NO WAY… (never mind that this is a perfect example of liberal views that contradict their own views).
The reality here is that an artist uses his/her skill and knowledge to create new wealth from little or nothing. Most of the world does this exact same thing each and every day. By combining raw ingredients in new and artful ways, we all make our own “art”, whether you make pizza, computers, automobiles or sex toys, you are adding new wealth to the pile. While this may seem like a simple proposition to most people, liberals just can’t seem to grasp it. Why is this?
Liberals are typically selfish, spoiled children. They want what other people have, but they don’t want to actually work for it. It’s much easier to throw tantrums and demand the “right” to share in what others have earned. Because of this outlook, most liberals bask in a perpetual state of imagined victimhood. Nothing is their own fault, and every woe in their life is caused by “society”… by “other people”… by “fat-cats” and “corporate greed”.
In the selfish liberal mindset, they only need to “feel” like they’re helping. They won’t actually do any of the work or give part of their hard-earned wealth. It’s very rare to see a liberal dig into their own wallet (but keep your hands on your own wallet when in their presence!). They’ll always insist that “we” are not doing enough, and then sit back on their soapbox and feel good about themselves.
It’s sad, but you’ll never find a liberal who will suddenly have an epiphany and say, “Gosh… all my troubles seem to stem from the fact that I’m a lazy, Oprah-watching, couch potato who does nothing, produces nothing, and contributes nothing to society except snide remarks and veiled accusations about those who do all the work”.
In closing, I’ll simply point out that trying to argue with the self-imposed ignorance, selfishness and childish naïveté of the modern liberal is about as intellectually rewarding as a conversation with the family dog.
Good luck,
-M40

“…those should be taken with care and if necessary, with action, but never, never for the politics of party”
But apparently it is ok to use racism and sexism for the politics of the party. It is ok to brand entire regions of the country for the politics of the party. It is ok to call a Presidential candidate b**bo, c*nt, and wh*RE for the politics of the party. It is ok to tell a VP candidate she dresses like a porn star, that her state is ‘crazy drunken’ for the politics of the party.
Sarah Palin was willing to stand on the stage with another woman whom she admires but who has said she doesn’t support Palin. She was willing to take the risk to stand up to one of the monsters in the world who has repeatedly denied the holocaust and promised to wipe Israel from the face of the Earth, to drive them into the sea, who if they have nuclear weapons have said they will use them.
And likely will get them.
Now if that is what you think is for the politics of the party, peace. I think it is the right attitude and the right statement now that we have Russians violating the Monroe Doctrine and others ready to bomb our allies.
You can look up the Monroe Doctrine. Unlike the Bush Doctrine, it’s documented.

When Palin was mayor, Wasilla was the only town in Alaska to charge rape victims for the cost of their rape evidence collection kits. She spent $15 million on a hockey rink with heated seats – but didn’t get around to building a sewage treatment plant. She was for the bridge to nowhere before she was against it – spent the money anyway – promised to co-operate with the Troopergate investigation and is now stonewalling the Republican Senate in Alaska – and won’t release her tax records. And she is running as a reformer. She is a really sad and bad joke.

Lol, who ever said “people” know about economics? There’s no message of “hope” in increasing a tax increase in an economy like this. Yes, increase tax on companies, decrease jobs, no money to spend, companies profit slims + increased tax… viscious loop. There’s no “change” message in Obama’s plan, but there is “chance”… which is definitely not enough for me.
BTW, did you know that Obama’s friends are apart of this problem? And received the 2nd most money from his CEO friend of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? 3 years in the senate, received more benefits than other senators. Oh, and don’t forget Rezko and other associations… and you call McCain the problem.

Palin isn’t very bright and it is scary to think that she could become vp. the women in this country need to step up and think about their vote, not vote for her because she is a woman, vote for the right candidate. If McCain passes she is president, how scary is that. They still follow Bush’s administration and he was the worst President ever, a joke even. That’s who Palin reminds me off, Bush. Hilary was right not to attend with Palin attending, it would have strayed away from the issues at hand and become a political fight that Palin would have enjoyed just to promote her VP candidancy. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!! AND ESPECIALLY TO THE WOMEN, Hilary was right when she said she was just a candidate who wanted to run for President, not a woman who wanted to run for the Presidency. VOTE FOR THE BETTER CANDIDATE, OUR FUTURES AND OUR CHILDREN’S FUTURES, AND THIS ECONOMY DEPEND ON IT.

I am a Jewish woman who has had her entire family shot and killed by the Gestapo in Poland. My grandmother survied and my great uncle. My grandmother hid her 4 children in the bedroom when she heard the Nazi’s knock on her door in France. She told her children under no circumstances is are they to open the door no matter what they heard. She fed the nazi’s dinner and spoke to them in German. Trying to convience them she was Jewish. At the end they ate dinner and left. Once outside they were shot by the French revolutionaries.
What I’m trying to say is how dare, how dare McCain and Palin use a scare tactic to us Jewish People. That is the most disgusting most vial political tactic ever. What the hell do they know about what our and my family went through. You people should be ashamed of yourselves! Phew Phew Phew. Just for votes?! Really ugh disgusting. I will tell every Jew I know in St. Louis not to vote for you people.

Well Quiet – I am not a liberal idiot but I will gie my opinion. I seriously doubt you will find Obama making such incinderary statements. He thinks before he opens his mouth. We have had eight years of shoot from the hip wild wet cowboys running this country. Before that eight years of Playboy Bill.
It is about time we had someone who was thoughtful and understood the seriousness of the office of President of the United States. Obama is that man. As long as the Rev Idiot and the Chicage thugs stay in Chicago I could care less about them. they are no worse than most any Washington lobbiest you meet.

Before you disrespect Sara Palin try getting your facts straight and stop repeating all the trash you hear on NBC or CBS and the rest of the liberal Communist Broadcast networks like CNN. She is 100% correct. There is going to be another Holocaust if the Mr. Ahmadinejad plans to “Totally Destroy” Israel are not stopped. And no I am not Jewish to answer to all the Anti Semites out there in Lib Land. Get your facts straight Ahmadinejad is the nut job here not Governor Palin! “Those that do not know history are bound to repeat it” Wake up before it’s too late!

Could it be that the one world government has begun? I am suspicious that the U.S. media is being manipulated by unknown super-wealthy people that we will never see or hear about. Obama is just a puppet that will say and do whatever it takes to get elected. The media giants have been playing the minorities like little foot soldiers on a mission to promote and defend the very things that will destroy them. It is like an alcoholic asking for a dollar to buy another drink and you give him $100 and tell him to enjoy himself all the while hoping that he will drink himself to death so that he won’t bother you again. Obama will have no power to deliver, no matter what he promises. He will just stand there and say “I am doing the best I can folks”. It will likely be the same with McCain although he is a fighter and does seem to stand strong on his commitments but in the end will bawl or be destroyed by the world media. We must stop the world media from manipulating the way we think. I am convinced that the media is controlled by people that do not have the American people at heart. I believe their goal is to destroy the one remaining superpower so that a one world government can take over with very little resistance. I pray that we will see our immoral ways and turn away from them and that God will bless this country again. The survival of the United States is in the hands of God. It always has been and always will be. I am afraid that a day is coming that we will all truly regret.

I am a Vet and now the Dems want me to pay more for being a patriot to my country? Sounds like Obama and Bidon are leaning more to a dictatorship type of rule or worst a socialist / marxist rule. Can’t wait to see the TV adds about Bidon and Obama wanting ti increase our taxes just for being a patriot. What if I decide to not be a patriot? will I still have to pay the tax? DUH

McCain has said, “There will be many wars my friends, many wars.” And Sarah is trying to give him a head start by invoking—–the holocaust. What an absolute j*rk she is.

The Palin/McCain campaign want Hillary Clinton to give credibility to Palin. That is not in Hillary’s best interest to do so. If you will recall, the media was headlining this event that Clinton and Palin would be attending the event. Now, Palin is the alledged Republican VP candidate, and Hillary is the Senator from New York, when Hillary pulled out….McCain called for Obama to attend in her place…., why not Biden? So who exactly was playing partisan? And, why was McCain not attending? Maybe because he has to campaign? So does Obama, he hasn’t forgotten he’s running for President, even if McCain would like the rest of the country to forget that fact!

Looks like this “rally” was a farce all along. It must have been an effort to raise the profile of a Jewish person or Jewish groups in national politics rather than focus on Iran’s president.
In any event, Gov. Palin and Ahmadinejad come out the winners in this fiasco. Palin wins because she called a spade a spade and made a forceful speech against a guy who wants hurt the US. Ahmadinejad wins because this “rally” (and any to follow) now looks to the world as it really is: a two-bit circus act organized by a bunch of self-serving morons.

(1) the many unfounded claims made by the media on Palin. Lot’s of assumptions here. Some have already been proven to be wrong, but when there’s a “bad”, every news station talks about it. When found that their fact check is wrong, who in their right mind bother to bring it up? It’s a part of marketing, and Obama’s team is (and I admit) is better at it then McCain’s … only b/c of media
(2) Economics, people get scared when it comes to money. It’s a complicating topic that MOST americans do not understand… even the smart ones don’t understand it. Those who knows economics, says Obama’s plan to increase tax on the companies is wrong … you’ve heard the reasons. There’s a lot of info out there, what “normal” person have the time, or energy to research and read up about economics. Economists can’t even agree, truth is, lots of people are running around pointing fingers “Obama” included.
You believe him to be the best for American, I on the other hand don’t trust him. Too long a list to present, and it’ll bore the heck out of you… so I’ll save you from boredom.
I do believe… the polls will go up and down, and it’ll surprise us in the end. People don’t even know what they want yet… :-)

If you don’t think Iran, which has sworn to the destruction of Israel, is comparable to a second Holocaust, you have less of a clue than I gave you credit for (don’t worry – it wasn’t much). You people can bury your heads in the sand all you want, except of course to hurl insults. I am curious to know what she said in this particular article that you people found so offensive, or are you looking at something from weeks ago, since you can’t find it here.

I found this on another board and just have to share with everyone.
George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years. The first six the economy
was fine.
About the time Obama was elected to the US Senate and the Dems became the majority in Congress two years ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 yr. high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%;
4) the DOW JONES hit a record high–14,000 +
5) Americans were buying new cars, taking cruises, vacationing
overseas, living large!…
But Americans wanted ‘CHANGE’! So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic
Congress & yep–we got ‘CHANGE’ all right!…..
1) Consumer confidence has plummeted;
2) Gasoline is now nearly $4 gallon and climbing;
3) Unemployment is up over 5%.
4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION
DOLLARS & prices are still dropping;
5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure; and
6) THE DOW is probing another low~~11,300–$2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS
HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT
PORTFOLIOS!
YEP , IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE!…AND WE SURE GOT IT!!!….
NOW THE POLLS SAY OBAMA IS GONNA BE ‘THE MAN’–CLAIMS HE’S GONNA REALLY
GIVE US CHANGE!!….
JUST HOW MUCH MORE ‘CHANGE’ DO YA THINK WE CAN STAND???…..

nh bob, I appreciate your post that seems more normal now. I think “bridge to no where”… I thought her answer on the interview w/charlie makes sense to me. So I guess how it was “initially” presented is incorrect… but for what it really is, it turned out to work for the people of Alaska. Her aim on earmarks to begin w/is to use money for what’s needed for the people, not waste it. Did you know in Obama’s short time, she asked for more money than Sarah has, and 2 of the items that were top on the costs was (1) museum (2) visitors center for Illinois… do we need that?
I will look up on the rape thing, but as w/everything in this election… you have to look at it from both sides. If you claim this, point of the rape kit and costs money etc. Then I have to add that did you know obama voted for early release of sex offenders in the state of illinois (the only state senator to vote for?). I am sure his reason is “everyone” has rights… I could argue that when they harm another, they lose their rights. My belief. Thanks for your response.

Palin and women like her have no problem expressing their All- American superiority over any one living outside a small town, who prefer to stay home with their small children and let the career wait awhile,those who choose to limit the size of their family,think forcing marriage on a pregnant 17 year old unmarried daughter and 18 year old- gum chewing- father is a good idea- let alone putting this unwed couple on the worldwide stage, many would never hunt, brag and decorating their home and office with carcasses of dead animals.

Kind of like the earmarks that 20x the average per capita of the rest of the US.
that’s how you get an 80% approval…take all the rest of America’s moneys and put toward your state…and increase the expenses/budget of your state by 60%

There is ample evidence that the far-left extremists are taking over the Democrat Party – specifically, how Barack Obama has called on his supporters to “get in the face” of people who plan to vote against him.
And the result?
Sarah Palin’s email hacked. A black comedian calls for the gang-rape of Sarah Palin. Looting and vandalism against Republican candidate headquarters around the nation.
Leftist Chicago mob-style thuggery, to be sure.
Also, Obama’s involvement with ACORN, an organization that is currently registering illegal aliens, minors, and the dead to cast fraudulent votes on November 4th for him.
Of course, our media will never report this as the leftists here in American have control of the media, – just like Hugo Chavez in Venezuela… Just like Castro in Cuba…Just like Vladimir Putin in Russia…

My God, this just shows you how you lose all sense of BOUNDARIES with each passing year and eventually get to the point where it is just DANGEROUS so age does matter. Palin is just barking McCain’s “cold war” perspective words and can’t be expected to know any better or say any different because (in spite of appearances) she is the back up singer.
To all of you who would vote for the McCain/Palin ticket, be ready for every act of war or animosity against the US that Adminijad & almost every other country’s leaders will impose and for our allies to explain why they became our former allies… like Spain for example.

yes, Obama’s people are all over this one too. Once they found out that Palin was speaking at the rally, they pressured the Clinton camp to withdraw. I would THINK that the American Jewish Groups would be thrilled that Sarah Palin would come. Talk about stabbing one in the back. How rude. You don’t invite someone to speak and then disinvite them when another speaker backs out! This shows HOW PARTISAN this group is. Talk about no class. Maybe the Hillary camp would worry that Palin would make Hillary look bad. Hmm, a person who has actually governed compared to a person who has rode on her husband’s coattails.

Blokcing Palin form the anti-Iran rally is simple political maneuvering. The Democrats do not want pictures of Palin and Hillary together because that could be used to reenforce the rationalization for Hillary supporters to vote Republican (in opposition to everything Hillary believes in).

Another lie, geevill. You fit right in with McCain/Palin, sadly. His uncle was a death camp liberator, it was just a different camp than Auschwitz.
So you admit Obama was using the Holocaust as a political prop.
Posted by: geevill | September 19, 2008, 4:11 pm 4:11 pm
Did you notice how many Obama supporters have tried to discredit Gov. Palin on this blog BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN? Granted, Palin served in more government capacities than Obama and has more relevant experience (8 years executive experience), but they say she doesn’t know what she is talking about?!
Obama supporters are saying in effect: “Oh don’t worry your pretty little head about these issues, Honey. Why don’t you go home and fix dinner for Todd and the kids.”
I guess the feminist supporters of Obama and the Democrats who are spewing this message believe women aren’t cabable of serving as president or vice president fo the U.S.

Dear mfmros,
Since I’m a registered democrat and have always voted as such do you still want to insult me? What would you call Mr. Ahmadinejad, Mr. Al-Sadr, Mr. Bin Laden if you do not like Islmo-fascist? Pick your name…they hate us and they want us dead….their words and actions indicate as much…not my fear mongering. Let’s talk about fear…why do the liberal women continue to use fear to other women that our right to have an abortion will be taken away? Fear is used as manipulation on all sides. One has to chose what threat is real.
Posted by: Karen | September 19, 2008, 4:11 pm 4:11 pm
What I frankly am scared of is IF Obama gets in, we have 3 extreme liberals taking control of the executive and legislative branch w/democrat majority. Even lifelong democrats have to admit makes them uncomfortable w/the path of their party. I am afraid anyone who has different believes will be mutted, and expected to work w/their hands tied behind their backs.
Have you heard of how Pelosi turns off the lights of the house even when people talk? Have you seen how Obama gets angry when people ask him of his associations? Have you heard of how Chicago’s radio station wanted to talk about Wlm Ayerst (sp?) and he had his supporters make a racket so that the radio show can’t continue?
I am just looking for checks and balance. As a moderate republican, I could have been happy w/Hillary as she is a moderate democrat… and she’s much more reasonable than Obama. Oh well…

Do you want to wait until Hezbollah has nuclear weapons in South Lebanon? Within range of Tel Aviv? Courtesy of Iran? Do you want to wait until Iran has nuclear weapons before engaging in war with them for Israel’s sake? A lot of small town American boys lives are in the balance in this debate. Iran must be stopped from aquiring nuclear weapons, whatever it takes. Anybody who doesn’t understand the fork in the road that lies ahead of us should study the statements Ahmadinejad concerning Israel and the Holocaust.

You are kidding me right? You look to the Clinton’s as good parental role models? Bill can’t keep his slimy hands off of anything with two legs… Jennifer Flowers…. Monica….. and Jessica to name a few. And Hillary is no model Mother either….they will both do and say what ever they have to if it means they get what they want. That is not a good role model for raising children. So what if they Palin’s are a normal hard working family with problems just like the rest of us. I’m sure your family is perfect right? I doubt it…. no ones family is perfect but don’t hold up the do anything say anything Clinton’s as the model family because you are way off on that point!

Thank God for Sarah Palin calling a spade a spade.
Ahmadinutjob is the modern day Hitler and needs to be stopped. She is calling it like it is.
And to all the leftwing people feeling oh so sophisticated compared to Palin, may I remind you that the left (yes you and your party) supported Hitler (Stalin signed a deal with him), the invasion of Hungary and Tchecoslovakia by the USSR, Mao and the Cultural revolution (30 million deaths), Pol Pot (2 million deaths), Che (30,000 murdered) and so on. Why do you always find yourself on the wrong side of history? Maybe being “progressist” means supporting tyrants and murderers like Ahmadinejad. Good call, people!

Anyone who honestly thinks that voting for Palin is a vote for Hillary is dumber than Sarah Palin. Just because the woman has a uterus does not make her qualified for the position of VP. That is why she was choosen. I think that anyone can see that. If she just shut up and did as told ( the first job of a VP or so I have heard) she would pass maybe. But she keeps opening her mouth and making incinderary statements like this. She has a son in the military is she trying to get him killed. Good grief.

I have voted Democratic in the last 4 Presidential elections….I have decided to vote Republican this time because I cannot accept a future with Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Joe Biden and Barack Obama running our country… It is as distasteful to me as returning to the days of Trent Lott and Newt Gingrich.

No way I’m rewarding the Republican party for giving us the most corrupt administration we’ve had in over 50 years!
Voting Republican is telling the GOP elite you don’t care that THEIR administration has taken OUR Constitution and trashed it. So then folks like Ms Alaska (who obviously will do as told and has no problem putting herself above the law) will just wave a flag, play the national anthem, and DO IT AGAIN! All in the name of “freedom”. She is already taking her lines from the Bush-rhetoric playbook.
Cheney and GW make Nixon look like a choir boy. And we impeached Nixon! Seriously, it’s unreal how this administration operated with impunity, lied to us, and just created their own laws whenever they felt like it. They used us and the post 9-11 sentiment just to push their own agendas.
Once Obama is in office, the next step is to get rid of Reid and Pelosi. Both are a complete waste of space. They’ve done nothing but complain and interfere with anything getting accomplished.

Iran wanted nukes because both Iraq and Pakistan had WMDs. Pakistan nukes and Iraq at least chemicals. Sunni dominated governments for you “Eyeran” haters.
The best evidence is that they have really toned down any weapons program they had.
The Iranians are smart people and why would they nuke Israel? It would make one of their holiest sites unusable and defiled for 10s if not thousands of years. I think they believe that is simply descrecrating a religious site if not inhumane.
They may try to get nukes as a retaliatory item vs USA or Pakistan.

It’s a very desperate GOP ploy because they know they have no way of winning on the domestic economy.

Several others have pointed this out, and I believe that is the truth behind this article. Perhaps Republicans should redefine “national security” as meaning America has financial security.

Um if they were both invited that would make it a non partisan event. Unfortunately the democrats chose to politicize this and I am deeply disappointed in Clinton and ashamed of Jews. Would they take Palin’s help if Israel were under attack from Iran or would they say no thanks you’re Conservative we don’t need your help. These orgqanizers should hang their heads in shame.

FFS he executes teenagers and doesn’t seem to mind the scant bad press over it. If you don’t believe that he’s got the will to acquire the means then you are as crazy as he is evil.
Hitler told everyone what he was going to do years before it started in a book called Mein Kampf. If you fail to see the parallel between Ahmadueche and Hitler; then you are blessed with an overabundance of naiveté and doomed.

Hillary Clinton is definitely her own woman. I doubt she cancelled because Obama’s campaign told her to. You are not giving Hillary enough credit. She is a lot smarter than that. I don’t think she wanted to give Palin any credibility by appearing what her, that’s probably the reason Hillary backed out. And, please, no more with the Bill Ayers stuff. That’s getting old. If you got anything on Obama that is a “national security threat” I suggest you contact the FBI, CIA, NSA, Homeland Security or some other intelligence agency and clue them in, otherwise, he just might get elected President of the USA. He will if I have anything to say about it!

“John McCain and I are committed to drawing attention to the danger posed by Iran’s nuclear program and we will not waver in our commitment,”
==========================
Palin should start reading some of the “liberal media” she so deplores.
Her view of the world is wholly delusional.
She clearly doesn’t know the first thing about the current state of Iran’s nuclear program.
==============================
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3, 2007:
“A new assessment by American intelligence agencies concludes that Iran HALTED its nuclear weapons program in 2003 and that the program remains frozen, contradicting judgment two years ago that Tehran was working relentlessly toward building a nuclear bomb.”
……….
“…the new estimate declares with ‘HIGH CONFIDENCE” that a military-run Iranian program intended to transform that raw material into a nuclear weapon HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN since 2003, and also says with high confidence that the halt “was directed primarily in response to increasing international scrutiny and pressure.”
————
As to a “second Holocaust”?
What does Gov. Palin care about the threat of a “second Holocaust”.
There is NO DISPUTE that she and her church have high-hopes of wiping out ALL Jews by converting them all to Christianity.
O.K., she doesn’t want to kill all the Jews, but she does want to eliminate them – erase them – through conversion.
This is a fact.

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/03/world/middleeast/03cnd-iran.html?_r=2&hp&oref=slogin&oref=slogin

And as for babymaker Pain – she should definitely keep her trap shut – does she even know what the Holocaust was? The more she says the dumber she and McLame sound – if that is possible. And as for Kim, Cassandra and Quietone – get off the comments section if you just want to keep adding to the insults and lies. Go do some research at the library or online – if you know how. Then maybe you will see that the liberals (and not all of us are democrats but we are all liberals and we all are apparently a whole lot smarter)are right on this issue. Pain and McLame are the worst thing to happen to this country since shrub and his daddy, if that is possible!

About that rally… if you invite Palin, then you got to invite Biden not Hillary.

On another topic, another poster said “can someone teach Palin how to pronounce Iraq/Iran”. why does this matter what her accent is like?

Dear Mr. Coffee, I beg to differ with your statement
“The Iranians are smart people and why would they nuke Israel? It would make one of their holiest sites unusable and defiled for 10s if not thousands of years. I think they believe that is simply descrecrating a religious site if not inhumane.”
Islamic terrorists have sent women sucide bombers into mosques to blow up worshipers!
Ahmadinejad has said he wants to “wipe Israel off the map” I don’t think his rockets are accurate enough, nor his nukes precise enough(assuming we let him have them) for him to worry about about the holy places, much less inhumanity. Nor should we say “he is full of hot air”-they said the same thing about Hitler, before he got power.
Face facts, this problem will remain long after Wall Street is in a bull market again.

Why is McCain so against taxing the rich? Three things that will occur if we increase the taxes on the very wealthy: 1)enrich their off shore banks because the very wealthy will put their money offshore to hide it from being taxed 2)enrich their rich lawyers because they will be asked to discover new loopholes so as to not pay their fair share 3)buy less caviar

Palin is palin’ fast.
Okay – just to be honest – there almost certainly will be a major attack on Israel at some point – perhaps quite soon – and Iran will be involved. But the ringleader will not be Iran. And the only reason that this will happen is that the U.S. is so weakened by economic problems that we will be unable to stop it no matter how tough we talk.
If Palin really wanted to be there to stop such an adventure when it comes, she would have been supporting Gore in 2000 so as to keep the economic strength that was actually built up under Clinton.
Bush and his “compassionate conservatism” has squandered America’s economic strength on a stupid, unnecessary and provocative war just to get the guy who “threatened his daddy”, and has given away the rest to his rich buddies in undeserved tax breaks. The American economic machine that challenged the Soviet Union until it simply collapsed has now all but collapsed itself under Bush’s criminal mis-management.
With America in a plaster cast, Russia will do pretty much as it pleases.

“Ahmadinejad has said he wants Israel wiped off the map. What would you call it if the 7+ million of people of Israel were killed?”
=====================================
Who said anything about killing all the Jews? Ahmadinejad has repeatedly said he has no desire to kill any Jews, he does want to erase the State of Israel – as a political entity.
This is pretty much the same political line that Pat Buchanan has taken in the past. Buchanan has repeatedly said the United States has no obligation to support the State of Israel, that it is a mistake for the U.S. to support the State of Israel, and that taking the long view, it was a mistake and injustice for the State of Israel to be created in the first place.
————————
I personally disagree with all of Pat Buchanan’s views, but note: Buchanan has more in common with Ahmadinejad than any Democrats, and Sarah Palin is very close to Buchanan in her own political views.
—
Neither Ahmadinejad, Buchanan, or Palin want to MURDER all of the Jews.
However,
Buchanan and Ahmadinejad do share the common goal of wiping out the Jewish state of Israel.
Palin does share a goal similar in spirit to the goals of the first Holocaust, i.e. wipe out all the jews.
Hitler wanted to accomplish this through murder.
Palin wants to accomplish this through conversion to Christianity.
So, who really wants a second Holocaust of the Jews, here?
I say its the two-pronged attack of Buchanan/Palin Republicans who
1. Want to eliminate the State of Israel
2. Wipe out Jews globally through conversion.

If McCain becomes president, I am pretty sure there will be a US/Iran war. The week when we invaded Iraq, McCain has been quoted in an interview that Iran should be next. I don’t understand why the GOP is so against using sanctions and talking with Iran. I remember back in the late 80s, Libya’s Khadafi used to talk the same way as Ahmadinejad, but with strict sanctions against Libya, it has worked in quieting Khadafi.

I think that if Palin goes, it becomes a political blunder on the part of Republicans. Regardless of what anyone feels about the president of Iran, he is attending the UN on ‘world’ business; the UN just happens to be here in the U.S. On more than one occasion he has said that the UN should be moved because the Americans protest and “act up” so to speak. He really plays this up and I think that some actually see his point. It’s one thing to have U.S. citizens at a protest rally; but to have a Presidential/Vice Presidential candidate show up says a whole lot about what you think of diplomacy. The current administration refuses to have direct, high-level talks with Iran without pre-conditions. Yet, just last week I think I was that five former Secretary of States met and I also think they agreed that we should have direct talks with Iranian leadership without pre-conditions. If Palin were to show up at this event with Hillary she might have gone second on the speaking platform and then echoed what Hillary said. If she were to show up alone and have to speak she might say something stupid and even have to answer questions. If the Obama campaign caused Palin to get disinvited, then McCain should be thanking them; not criticizing. Palin has practically no foreign policy or diplomatic skills for this big stage. Yet she will probably be the next VP one heartbeat away from the presidency. I don’t wish any misfortune on McCain but if he should go down, we are in trouble with Palin in charge. A presidential candidate’s VP selection is like leaving a last will and testament to the American people. I think his decision to “Will” us Sarah Palin says alot. He doesn’t care as much about the future of America as he states and certainly he doesn’t care enough about our future without him if something happens to him. His Will to his family doesn’t matter because his wealth is really his wife’s anyways. I hope Obama wins; at least he was wise enough to “Will” us someone who could step in on day one. When will Palin face the media alone? Hasn’t she crammed enough for the examination? America needs to get to know her. Unfortunately for her, this maintaining a low profile could lead us to believe that she is hiding something other than what’s already come out in the news. She needs to face her own problems head on so that America will know that she has the will to face ours.

It was Bush and Rumsfield who both stated that they believed the Iranian informant’s word over our own Intelligence agency and the Israeli intelligence agency. Those agencies all said Iran cannot be trusted. Now the Republicans have the nerve of pointing the finger at the Democrats. So typical.

Palin … stop acting like a kid whose candy was taken away before you could bite into it. You were disinvited because you weren’t going to be the star of the show anyway. The event’s organizers really wanted Hillary and invited her first. She accepted without realizing you were going to be there, and wisely pulled out because she didn’t want to be playing political games. We all know how this works … you were hoping that a little bit of Hillary’s magic would rub off on you simply by standing on the same stage with her, so you can lay a stronger claim to her supporters. But … no way, no Palin.

Why is it that people feel the need to spew the word “Liberal ” with such venom..
Liberal defined….
“broad mindedness” “tolerant of change”
“views favoring reform and progress”
“generous and broad sympathies”
Hillary Clinton is showing her true intellect by not putting herself in a situation where she may end up accidentally and without malice…expose the real Sarah Palin ..then of course many republicans..not all…would crucify Hillary in the press for being a bully… So …
Smart move Hillary..you are gracious under fire…
In my opinion Sarah Palin is a fear monger, with minimal education, and obviously believes her own lies..it’s pretty scary stuff..
As someone said early…we are in one war…do we really want to keep making threats as though we have a bottomless well of young men and women to die for this country…
One of my complaints about religious zealots would have to be there use of fear….

Let’s see! What could have been a bipartisan rally to get the American people to pay attention to the threat of a nuclear Iran– but the Dems throw a partisan hissy-fit over Gov. Palin being there, pull out, refuse to send anyone else–and Palin, who merely accepted an invitation, gets blamed in most of the comments here for somehow fouling things up.
Talk about people with PDS (Palin Deranged Syndrome). It seems to drain the brains of people with it of common sense and replace it with partisan insanity.

She’s clueless about foreign policy. But that said, this seems incredibly irresponsible to me… no thought whatsoever to the consequences of deliberately antagonizing Iran at this time.

Pardon my ignorance. I am trying to learn why Iran is our adversary?
————-
Why is Iran our adversary?
1. Iran provides financial and military support to Hamas and Hezbollah, two of the most ruthless, anti-American (and anti-Israel, and more recently anti-semitic) terrorist organizations in the world.
2. Iran has provided illicit financial and military support to the Shi’ite militias in Southern Iraq, who have been trying to destabilize Iraq after the American occupation. These militias, using the bombs and weapons supplied by Iran, have killed and injured innumerable American soldiers and civilian contractors.
3. Back in the 70′s, Iranian terrorists kidnapped American embassy personnel and held them hostage for months.
4. Iran has in the past pursued a nuclear weapons program, its current leadership – in the person of Ahmadinijad – appears dangerously delusional, even deranged. Especially as regards its stated intention to destroy a close American ally – the State of Israel.
How the Iranian leadership might use nuclear weapons to accomplish its goal of destroying the State of Israel is unclear, but THAT Iran does want to acquire nuclear weapons to assist in its ongoing struggle to destroy the State of Israel is not disputed.
5. Iran is an undemocratic, Islamic theocracy, governed by clerics. The very idea of a state entirely governed by religious clerics, of whatever faith, is anathema to basic American principles.
(With one significant exception. An influential segment of the American body politic – right-wing evangelicals such as Gov. Palin – would LOVE IT if America were governed like a theocracy.
The only difference between their political philosophy and that of Iranian Islamic radicals, is that where the Islamic radicals look to Islam for their laws, right-wing evangelical fundamentalists like Sarah Palin look to Christianity.)

The cancellation by Hillary Clinton and the retraction of the invitation reflect partisanship, not on the part of Governor Palin, but Hillary Clinton and other arrogant Democrats. That is like having a wedding and saying to the bride ” IF so and so comes, I am NOT coming to the wedding”. How dumb can Democrat logic be? How about NO LIMIT. If the Iranians get a wild hair and continue to develop nuclear weapons, WE and other nations will pay the price. Of course two different parties cannot attend such an important event. Looks pretty dumb to me.

Faiz, Iran is an adversary of the U.S. because Iran is trying to gain political power over the middle east. The U.S. is also trying to compete for political power as is Irael.Israel is more of a defensive position over it right to exist. While Iran would prefer for the land to be returned to Palestine. Doesn’t mean they want to kill jews. In fact they have their own Jewish population that they haven’t killed. Now the U.S. wants to support Israel and promote democracy and stability as they get their oil from there. If Iran gets too much power in the region that would also upset Sunni populations like Saudi Arabia. They also don’t want Iran to get too much power.
Nobody wants to kill people for the sake of ethnic cleansing but for power, sure.

If it is not clear now that Palin and McCain are dangerous idiots gunning for war, it will never be clear until the US is engaged in another ill-prepared and badly timed conflict. Palin seems to take war too lightly, seemingly more so than Bush did before initiating the Iraq war. War as a means to political ends has rarely succeeded without horrible consequences to all parties involved. Palin is naiive and McCain is reckless. The world cannot afford this now.

BTW, did you know that Obama’s friends are apart of this problem? And received the 2nd most money from his CEO friend of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? 3 years in the senate, received more benefits than other senators. Oh, and don’t forget Rezko and other associations… and you call McCain the problem.
By Kim 2
_____________________________________-
I guess you didn’t do you homework kim:
Statement:
Amid “corruption at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac,” Sen. Barack Obama “profited from this system of abuse and scandal. While Fannie and Freddie were working to keep Congress away from their house of cards, Senator Obama was taking their money. He got more, in fact, than any other member of Congress, except for the Democratic chairman of the committee that oversees them.” —Sen. John McCain, at a campaign stop Friday, September 19, in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
What are the facts? Find out after the jump.
The Facts
Federal law forbids candidates from receiving money directly from companies. The nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics tracks donations from employees of various companies. The center’s list of contributions from Fannie and Freddie employees places Obama second. Ahead of him is Sen. Chris Dodd,
Democratic chairman of the Senate Banking Committee.
The total listed for Obama is $126,349 — a tiny fraction of the approximately $390 million his campaign has raised, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. The list shows McCain has received a total of $21,550 from Fannie and Freddie employees. The list includes donations of at least $200 from those who receive paychecks from Fannie and Freddie. It also includes donations from political action committees — pooled contributions from employees. Obama decided early in his presidential run not to accept PAC contributions, but the Center for Responsive Politics’ list includes all contributions for members of Congress dating back to 1989 — including Obama and McCain’s Senate campaigns.
The New York Times has published a separate list looking at contributions from “directors, officers, and lobbyists for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac” for the 2008 campaign cycle. That list — using figures from the Federal Election Commission — shows McCain receiving $169,000, while Obama received only $16,000.
Explaining the difference, the Center for Responsive Politics said on its Web site that it does not include members of the board of directors because they could serve on boards of various companies. Their contributions are listed along with other employees of the companies they work for. And the center says lobbyists usually represent multiple clients as well, so their contributions are listed under their lobbying firms — except in-house lobbyists, who are included in the center’s list.
The mortgage giants Fannie and Freddie became symbols of the nation’s economic mess — and, to critics, of corporate greed — after the government recently took them over to bail them out, making donations linked to the company in any way potential political fodder.
VERDICT
Partially true, but misleading. Donations don’t come from companies. A list of employee contributions puts Obama second, but a different list including lobbyists and directors shows McCain getting more.

We neither want nor need Palin’s help. She’s more of a hindrance than help anyway. The woman is a nut and a national security risk. The only Jewish vote that McCain will get is Joe Lieberman’s.

I believe that Hillary cancelled the event not only because Palin would be there but because Palin is a better speaker than Hillary and she would get more attention.I also believe that Hillary is jealous of Palin because McCain chose her as his VP whereas Hillary got lost in the crowd by Obama. And Hillary the fool is campaigning for him. You can take bets on the fact that Palin wouldn’t campaign for him.

Someone once told me that stong language is a weak mind attempting to express itself..with that in mind I have come to the conclusion all of the people name calling and belittling the person instead of debating the issues really don’t have enough of a grasp on the issues to have a real discussion.
The so called tolerant open minded Liberals of this country are now more intolerant and ugly than the Conservatves ever were. I’m sorry but the extreme element of the Democratic party has now taken over and I want no part of it. Obama is an empty suit and will be a return to the wasted days of the Carter administration…sorry folks but he isn’t the answer to our issues…not so say McCain is either but I will not be party to the hate mongering the Democrats have unleashed. Sarah Palin has done nothing to be subjected to the tirades of the tiny minds posting on this blog.
Iran is a threat with it’s current leadership…plain and simple..doesn’t mean we need to go to war with them but we must be vigilant not to allow them too much power.
The left espouses to the rights of free speech, they just don’t allow it happen because anytime an opinion different than theirs is said they shout it down…when was the last time you saw a group of angry Conservatives riot and destroy other peoples property to get Their point across???

I am furious at those liberal Democrats who pressured the organizers of the UN rally against a nuclear Iran to withdraw their invitation to Gov. Palin. Is this “new politics” or are the Democrats just running the same old partisan campaign? Which matters more to the Democrats, achieving bipartisan cooperation to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear bombs or snubbing Sarah Palin? As a Democrat-turned-independent, I am ashamed to say my former party doesn’t seem to give a sh*t about preventing a second wave of genocide against the Jewish people.

Google “Jews in Iran”. If they want to kill them all why are they living in Iran!
The Jews have issues with power, freedom, rights…but they have not been cleansed. So how does Palin believe that Iran wants to kill them all? Show me the facts that back it up and use logical arguements and facts only! Not “Because Hitler did it”.
In fact Hitler had Jews living in Germany. He only started exterminating them after he made the illogical connection between Jews and Germany’s problems. Then he decided to rid germany of their influence. But that doesn’t mean that Ahmadinejad wants them dead. Different time, person, country, religion, issues.
I want Palin to explain her assertion that Iran wants a Holocaust! The world deserves an explanation for this extreme statement!

Bren, nice and humorous piece.
It is hard to believe that we are discussing an empty-headed, low-educated simpleton, with extremist tendencies, who may be just a hearbeat away.
She blames Democrats for disinviting her, when the organizers were clearly non-partisan. Sarah, why is it that they invited you in the first place? You see, after Hillary wisely backed out, the organizers decided to disinvite ALL political officials. (I apologize if my question is just too complicated.)
Or perhaps, organizers may have thought that Palin’s attendance would have given SNL an idea for another skit about a hapless VP candidate with learning disabilities.

I will admit I haven’t even liked her from the moment she stepped onto The Stage – BUT – this is something else again!
This is WHY she is unfit to be VP and God Forbid – sail into ANY Presidency.
Her Mouth is bigger then her brain.
It’s getting really COLD in Alaska – can’t she go home and knit some Afghans/Hats & Mittens, Scarves – hey, how about a sweater or two for her new baby and coming grandchild! Guess what (?) – I don’t CARE if that sounds “SEXIST”.
I’m a 65 year old, White – CAREER woman who raised THREE daughters all by myself! I am NOT a SEXIST or even PREJUDICED – BUT – I can be “PREJUDICED” against AIR-HEADS who somehow allow themselves to be in IMPORTANT PLACES – with the potential to gain even MORE IMPORTANCE and – shall I say IT – YEAH – POWER!
YES – INDEED – I am voting for Obama-Biden!
AND – YES INDEED I feel this Sally-Pale-In-Person should be home taking care of her special needs baby and pregnant daughter – planning a wedding? Whose doing THAT? Not that THAT is any of my business.
But she sure loves getting into OUR BEDROOMS & BUSINESS, doesn’t she?
Now her mouth is FLAPPING DANGEROUSLY in the REPUBIGS-War-Mongering-BREEZE . . . .
McPOW could have picked ANY NUMBER of SMART-TALENTED women – but I guess THIS one made him feel all silly-putty inside & young again.

I am a member of the baby boomer generation who at one time wholeheartedly believed that social security should be controlled by Wall Street speculators. It made sense because we were promised higher ROI. Bush and Mccain also supported this idea but thank goodness it did not come into fruition or I with million other baby boomers would have been holding an empty bag.

Economist and Stateman LaRouche Outlines Four Necessary Steps to Worldwide Economic Crisis——September 12, 2008 (LPAC)%u2013In discussions yesterday, Lyndon LaRouche emphasized that the actual breakdown which he had forecast on July 25, 2007 has already occurred, and as of now, there will be no return to the system that existed prior to September 2008. Only a new design of a system echoing the intentions of Franklin Roosevelt at the 1944 Bretton Woods conference could rescue the world’s physical economy under present, post-August 2008 conditions.
To this end, LaRouche specified four necessary steps:
Step #1: Put the present international monetary system into bankruptcy reorganization. Step #2: Create a new system, a credit system, rather than a monetary system, in the form of an appropriately modern version of President Franklin Roosevelt’s intention for a Bretton Woods system. Step #3: Organize the new system on the basis of an extended form of the 1648 Peace of Westphalia system, rather than a conflict-system. The IMF must be replaced by a treaty organization among participating sovereign nation-states with complementary long-term economic missions of scientific and related progress per-capita and per-square kilometer of territory. Step #4: Define a common, long-term mission-orientation of two or more generations’ span for increase of the productive powers of labor among nations generally.

Eve Ensler, the American playwright, performer, feminist and activist best known for ‘The Vagina Monologues’, wrote the following about Sarah Palin.
Drill, Drill, Drill
I am having Sarah Palin nightmares. I dreamt last night that she was a member of a club where they rode snowmobiles and wore the claws of drowned and starved polar bears around their necks. I have a particular thing for Polar Bears. Maybe it’s their snowy whiteness or their bigness or the fact that they live in the arctic or that I have never seen one in person or touched one. Maybe it is the fact that they live so comfortably on ice. Whatever it is, I need the polar bears.
I don’t like raging at women. I am a Feminist and have spent my life trying to build community, help empower women and stop violence against them. It is hard to write about Sarah Palin. This is why the Sarah Palin choice was all the more insidious and cynical. The people who made this choice count on the goodness and solidarity of Feminists.
But everything Sarah Palin believes in and practices is antithetical to Feminism which for me is part of one story — connected to saving the earth, ending racism, empowering women, giving young girls options, opening our minds, deepening tolerance, and ending violence and war.
I believe that the McCain/Palin ticket is one of the most dangerous choices of my lifetime, and should this country chose those candidates the fall-out may be so great, the destruction so vast in so many areas that America may never recover. But what is equally disturbing is the impact that duo would have on the rest of the world. Unfortunately, this is not a joke. In my lifetime I have seen the clownish, the inept, the bizarre be elected to the presidency with regularity.
Sarah Palin does not believe in evolution. I take this as a metaphor. In her world and the world of Fundamentalists nothing changes or gets better or evolves. She does not believe in global warming. The melting of the arctic, the storms that are destroying our cities, the pollution and rise of cancers, are all part of God’s plan. She is fighting to take the polar bears off the endangered species list. The earth, in Palin’s view, is here to be taken and plundered. The wolves and the bears are here to be shot and plundered. The oil is here to be taken and plundered. Iraq is here to be taken and plundered. As she said herself of the Iraqi war, ‘It was a task from God.’
Sarah Palin does not believe in abortion. She does not believe women who are raped and incested and ripped open against their will should have a right to determine whether they have their rapist’s baby or not.
She obviously does not believe in sex education or birth control. I imagine her daughter was practicing abstinence and we know how many babies that makes.
Sarah Palin does not much believe in thinking. From what I gather she has tried to ban books from the library, has a tendency to dispense with people who think independently. She cannot tolerate an environment of ambiguity and difference. This is a woman who could and might very well be the next president of the United States . She would govern one of the most diverse populations on the earth.
Sarah believes in guns. She has her own custom Austrian hunting rifle. She has been known to kill 40 caribou at a clip. She has shot hundreds of wolves from the air.
Sarah believes in God. That is of course her right, her private right. But when God and Guns come together in the public sector, when war is declared in God’s name, when the rights of women are denied in his name, that is the end of separation of church and state and the undoing of everything America has ever tried to be.
I write to my sisters. I write because I believe we hold this election in our hands. This vote is a vote that will determine the future not just of the U.S. , but of the planet. It will determine whether we create policies to save the earth or make it forever uninhabitable for humans. It will determine whether we move towards dialogue and diplomacy in the world or whether we escalate violence through invasion, undermining and attack. It will determine whether we go for oil, strip mining, coal burning or invest our money in alternatives that will free us from dependency and destruction. It will determine if money gets spent on education and healthcare or whether we build more and more methods of killing. It will determine whether America is a free open tolerant society or a closed place of fear, fundamentalism and aggression.
If the Polar Bears don’t move you to go and do everything in your power to get Obama elected then consider the chant that filled the hall after Palin spoke at the RNC, ‘Drill Drill Drill.’ I think of teeth when I think of drills. I think of rape. I think of destruction. I think of domination. I think of military exercises that force mindless repetition, emptying the brain of analysis, doubt, ambiguity or dissent. I think of pain.
Do we want a future of drilling? More holes in the ozone, in the floor of the sea, more holes in our thinking, in the trust between nations and peoples, more holes in the fabric of this precious thing we call life?

Gomac -Wrong. Hussein wasn’t committing genocide – there is a very international specific criteria to determine what constitutes genocide and Saddam’s reprisals against the Kurds didn’t meet that criteria. You Republicans need to pay more attention to the facts and stop being so hysterical all the time. Also, if Palin and McCain are so concerned about Iran, why did they support a war that took out the biggest check to Iranian power in the region. Fools.

yes folks read ‘em and weep Palin ACTUALLY said these:
On the vice presidency:
“But as for that v.p. talk all the time, I’ll tell you, I still can’t answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it, exactly, that the v.p. does every day?”
–July 31, 2008, CNBC’s “Kudlow & Company”
On Iraq:
“I’ve been so focused on state government, I haven’t really focused much on the war in Iraq. I heard on the news about the new deployments, and while I support our president, Condoleezza Rice, and the administration, I want to know that we have an exit plan in place.”
–March 21, 2007, Alaska Business Monthly
“Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [American soldiers] out on a task that is from God. That’s what we have to make sure that we’re praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God’s plan.”
–June 8, 2008, Wasilla Assembly of God Church
On creationism:
“Growing up with being so privileged and blessed to be given a lot of information on, on both sides of the subject–creationism and evolution. It’s been a healthy foundation for me. But don’t be afraid of information and let kids debate both sides.”
–October 25, 2006, gubernatorial debate
On global warming:
“A changing environment will affect Alaska more than any other state, because of our location. I’m not one, though, who would attribute it to being man-made.”
–August 29, 2008, Newsmax
On energy:
“I think God’s will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that.”
–June 8, 2008, Wasilla Assembly of God Church
On receiving $1.8 million in federal earmarks for the city of Wasilla:
“FYI This does not include our nearly one million Dollars from the Feds for our Airport Paving Project. We did well!!!”
–June 14, 1999, Wasilla City Council Informational Memorandum 99-62
On that “Bridge to Nowhere”:
Question: “Would you continue state funding for the proposed Knik Arm and Gravina Island bridges?”
Palin: “Yes. I would like to see Alaska’s infrastructure projects built sooner rather than later. The window is now–while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist.”
–October 22, 2006, Anchorage Daily News
On library books she doesn’t like:
“What would your response be if I asked you to remove some books from the collection?”
–October 1996 conversation with librarian Mary Ellen Emmons, Anchorage Daily News
On the secessionist Alaskan Independence Party:
“Your party plays an important role in our state’s politics … keep up the good work, and God bless you.”
–2008 video address to Independence Party’s convention
On Ivana Trump:
“We want to see Ivana because we are so desperate in Alaska for any semblance of glamour and culture.”
–April 3, 1996, Anchorage Daily News
On running Wasilla:
“It’s not rocket science. It’s six million dollars and fifty-three employees.”
–October 1996, Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman
On being governor:
“I will unambiguously, steadfastly, and doggedly guard the interests of this great state, as a mother naturally guards her own. Like a Southeast Eagle and her eaglets, or, more appropriately here in the Carlson, like a Nanook defending her cub.”
–December 4, 2006, Inaugural address
On the prospect of becoming a candidate for vice president:
“It kind of cracks me up. It is so far out of the realm of possibility and reality.”
–August 14, 2008, Financial Post

=================
Shalom -
You do not seem to have read my argument carefully.
I strongly believe that religion should not dictate government policies.
I think the Bush administration and a theoretical McCain/Palin are as dangerous to peace and stability in the Middle East as is the current Iranian theocracy under Ahmadinijad.
They are both “the bad guys” from my perspective.
Both sides are playing a game of chicken over the State of Israel, and both sides are culpable in heightening tensions.
I think it will be dangerous to world peace if Iran acquires nuclear weapons,
I think it is dangerous for politicians to be invoking a “second Holocaust” and threatening to attack Iran in order to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
This is why I will be voting Obama/Biden.
Obama & Biden are both sober, tough-minded politicians who know how to use the entire range of diplomatic and military tools at our disposal to defuse tensions between Iran and the U.S.
All Bush & McCain/Palin know how to do is heighten tensions.
A third World War involving nuclear weapons, and the PHYSICAL destruction of the State of Israel seems MUCH more likely under a McCain/Palin administration.
This is just one opinion, nothing more.

Thank you Susan for proving my point that strong language is a weak mind attempting to express itself.
All of your name calling and capital letters tells me you are an angry person with no solutions just vitriolic hate for those who do not think like you.
The current leadership of the Democratic party will return us to the days of failed presidency of Jimmy Carter…change for change sake is not good change. People rejected a good man like Gerald Ford because he was a Republican, not because he wasn’t the best man for the job. Just like now…blame McCain for Bush…how about if we blame Clinton too? Didn’t he authorize the bombing of Serbia? Many innocent people died there too, but it kept Europe from being swallowed up by another war spilling over to a bigger confrontation dragging all the world down with it….

Gomac, Ok so since it happened in darfur we should assume its gonna happen in Iran and attack them first right? I just love this pre-emptive thing that Curious George Bush has implemented, and you neo-cons seem to embrace. It worked so well in iraq, because we ALL know how many WMD’s they found there. Listen, we are Americans and we never used to believe in picking fights. If someone acts first we respond, its called self defense, and its noble. It is not however noble to attack someone because you THINK they will do something wrong. I guess you think its ok for the police to arrest you just because they have a hunch you are a bad person? Or maybe its ok for you to use martial arts on someone walking down the street because you THINK he has a weapon on him somewhere and MIGHT use it.

Sarah (Sarai) was Abraham’s wife and Isaac’s mother. . She was very beautiful. Abraham, at times, claimed that Sarah was his sister, because he feared that someone would kill him out of LUST for Sarah.
The first incident where Sarah figures prominently in the bible occurred when she was 65 years old and journeyed to Egypt Abraham pretended Sarah was his sister, and Pharoah did take her, giving Abraham many material possessions in exchange. God then sent plagues to punish the house of Pharoah until Pharoah released her and sent Abraham on his way.
A similar incident transpired later in the bible with King Abimelech. He also took Sarah, thinking she was Abraham’s sister. God told him the truth in a dream and Abimelech returned Sarah to Abraham, along with a present of animals, slaves, gold and silver.
Once Hagar conceived, Hagar lowered her opinion of Sarah, and Sarah began to treat her harshly. Hagar ran away and returned only after God spoke to her, blessed her and ordered her to go back to Sarah. When Abraham was 86 years old, Hagar gave birth to Ishmael.
Until this point, Sarah’s name was actually Sarai. When Abraham was 99 years old, God spoke to him and blessed him with children and land. He changed his name from Abram to Abraham and his wife’s name from Sarai to Sarah. God also promised Abraham that Sarah would have a child, and that God would maintain his covenant with this child, Isaac.
Sarah was unable to conceive a child for many years. So she GAVE HER HANDMAIDEN, HAGAR, TO ABRAHAM for the purpose of having a child. Once Hagar conceived, Hagar lowered her opinion of Sarah, and Sarah began to treat her harshly. Hagar ran away and returned only after God spoke to her, blessed her and ordered her to go back to Sarah. When Abraham was 86 years old, Hagar gave birth to Ishmael.
The Lord told Abraham that he and Sarah would have a son. When Sarah heard this, she laughed because she thought she was too old to have a child. However, she did have a child, and they named him Isaac.
Once Isaac and Ishmael began to grow up, Sarah asked Abraham to send Hagar and Ishmael away and not to allow Ishmael to share an inheritance with Isaac. Biblical commentators disagree as to the reason why she did not want Ishmael in her house. Some say Ishmael was worshipping other gods, others say he was teasing Isaac or bragging that, as firstborn, he would receive a double portion of the inheritance. God told Abraham to listen to Sarah and the next morning, Abraham sent Hagar and Ishmael away.
Sarah lived to the age of 127. The story of Sarah is found in Genesis, chapters 11-23.

The problem with republicans who refuse to make the connection of Bush/Cheny and McCain/Palin Policies…one must know that McCain voted 90% of bushes Policies so he believe in the bush doctrine…..Bush Doctrine
The Bush Doctrine of preemptive war was explicitly stated in the National Security Council text “National Security Strategy of the United States”, published September 20, 2002. “We must deter and defend against the threat before it is unleashed… even if uncertainty remains as to the time and place of the enemy’s attack… The United States will, if necessary, act preemptively…You see with Palin throw in with her extremist views of the world this could be a very lethal combination.

I wish people would stop slinging mud at each other and give long and careful thought to which candidate they will vote for. No single candidate is going to be 100% what you want. All we can do is to try hard to get all the facts we can and vote with our conscience. I am especially upset at the lack of class of the right-wingers who spread false e-mails about Obama. I think their real problem is that he is black. I also didn’t think I would ever like Hillary Clinton, as she is a liar from the get-go, yet Palin makes her look like a class act. Please sit back and look at which candidate addresses the issues in a thoughtful way, and which candidate(s) spend their time attacking their opponents. In my opinion, Obama will say he disagrees with McCain over an issue, but he does not stoop to attacking either McCain or Palin personally. Yet the Republicans seem to think it is okay to question Obama’s patriotism, etc. Obama has never been a Muslim, yet right-wing so-called Christians try to make us think he is tainted by that. All I see is a man who believes that we need a different direction, that it is better to talk first and find common ground wherever possible before getting out the guns. What is so wrong with that? Many of you on here have talked about high taxes, etc. and blamed that on the Democrats. What about the trillions of dollars this war is costing us every month? Our last Democrat president had a balanced budget and a surplus, and the Republicans have pissed that away and gotten us further in debt than ever before. I am no fan of Bill Clinton, either, but I have to admit that we were in better shape when he was President than we have been since. I personally believe in smaller government, and used to consider myself a Republican. However, I can see that the Republican party currently stands for the rich getting richer while people like us struggle. They have allowed most of our manufacturing jobs go overseas, and that used to be the backbone of our economy. The so-called “Service Economy” won’t cut it. You try to raise a family on what a retail job pays. Our country is in real trouble. I don’t presume to have all the answers, but to me it makes sense that it is time to try something different. It sure wouldn’t hurt to have a President who wants to work things out diplomatically whenever possible instead of jumping into ill-advised wars. I am 50 years old and I believe this is the most important election of my lifetime so far. Whichever candidate you support, instead of spending time attacking the other candidate, why not spend time learning as much as you can about both sides so that you can make the best-informed decision you can come November? This isn’t really about either candidate personally. It’s about what type of government you feel would be best for America at this time. It is our chance to use our priviledge of voting responsibly and thoughtfully, and trying to set aside prejudice and mud-slinging to reach the kind of decision we each feel is best. For the first time in my life I feel that we have a chance to live up to our promise as Americans to have freedom and justice for ALL. As long as the office of the presidency can only be held by priviledged white males, we are not living up to that promise. If you are against Obama simply because of his color, I hope that you can examine your conscience and really decide if that is a viable way of thinking. Senator Obama is a very intelligent, well-educated man with good family values, who decided on community service instead of making big bucks as a lawyer. He understands our Constitution in a way most Presidents and presidential candidates have not. I would rather have him with his lack of experience, than someone who feels we should be constantly fighting wars, even if Senator McCain does have more political experience. I also notice that Obama chose a very experienced VP candidate in Biden, who shares his family values. If he just wanted to win, he would have chosen Clinton, because that would have pretty much have guaranteed a win. As a side note, I can’t believe that McCain couldn’t find a Republican female more qualified than Palin, not to mention more intelligent and reality based. I would love to see a great female candidate sometime soon. We haven’t even elected an Italian American or anyone even remotely ethnic, and I believe that’s a barrier that should fall. But I’m not voting for Obama because of his color. I’m voting for him because I am afraid of what will happen to America with four more years of belligerent foreign policy, tax breaks to the rich and to the companies who sell our jobs overseas, and total lack of concern for us little people who do the work of America, what work there is left. You may think I am a liberal, but I have raised four responsible, intelligent children, three of whom have gone out into the world expecting to work hard for everything they get. I believe in personal responsibility and consequences. I also believe in the idea that with two people working full time to support a family, that family shouldn’t be struggling due to the high price of everything that is necessary. I believe that I shouldn’t have to work through May to pay my taxes and then get what is left over the rest of the year, while McCain can’t even remember how many homes he has. All I want is one. I have worked hard all my life and I still don’t know if my husband and I will be able to “retire”, ever. I think we need a government that is responsible to all of us, not just the richest ones. I also think that Obama is right in that we all need to take more personal responsibility. He has taken a lot of criticism from some of the black community as a result. But as I see these kids of all colors getting into trouble, getting into gangs, drugs, girls getting pregnant without any thought to a stable home for their children and young fathers who sire more children than they can possibly support, let alone help raise, and then I look at my own kids, who were held accountable by ME for what they did and where they went. People don’t seem to take parenting very seriously any more, and it’s actually the most important job of all. If you aren’t prepared to raise a child responsibly and instill good values in them, you shouldn’t be having them. Get a pet instead. And you don’t have to be a right-wing Christian to have good values, by the way. My own very Baptist sister and her pastor husband have a daughter who is now pregnant with her second child with a different father than the first child. They never discussed birth control with my niece, and they wouldn’t allow anyone else to. The abstinence method didn’t work for her either. I don’t condone or encourage pre-marital sex, but my kids all knew what they needed to know to make responsible decisions.
OK, I’ve had my say. Thanks for listening.

Gomac: Since you seem unable to look it up yourself, Obama’s foreign policy experience includes graduating from Columbia University with a degree in political science with an emphasis on international relations. In the U.S. Senate Obama serves on 3 of the 4 Senate Committees dealing with foreign policy issues including 1) Foreign Relations; 2) Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs; and 3) Veterans’ Affairs committees. Obama is the Chair of the Foreign Relations Subcommittee on European Relations which is responsible for U.S. relations with the EU and NATO.

Having a war might of worked to get us out of the depression in the 20′s but it will not work now. As the people of our country suffer and the US gets laughed at in International arenas we have our politicians pushing for more war and more money to be spent out of this country. In 07 it is estimated that the US spent over 300 billion dollars on “national defense” but only 91 billion for education. That doesn’t include the extra costs for the “war”. No wonder 1 of everything 31 people are in jail.

Gomac, Are you seriously an idiot or simply playing the devils advocate? Responding to a Hurricane is different than pre-emptive war. The hurricane is obvious indication of destruction and clearly evidenced by the radar image, however guessing that some nation is going to do something, without any factual evidence has no indication of impending destruction. And 911 should have been acted upon if there was factual evidence of its impending happening. However if you are saying we should have “guessed” they were going to do it and just attacked afghanistan on that “thought” before hand, then you are completely nuts.

How did Ahmadinejad introduce the term “Holocaust” as a threat?
I know he is a Holocaust denier.
I am not aware that he has ever threatened to kill all Jews.
I am not aware he has even threatened to kill ANY Israeli Jews.
I know that he DOES intend to destroy the State of Israel – as a sovereign political entity. Like many Arabs, and some extreme left and extreme right Americans (Noam Chomsky & Pat Buchanan agree on this one issue), Ahmadinejad believes that the very creation of the State of Israel is an historical injustice – a crime against the “Palestinian” Arabs – that must be redressed.
These are his stated views. I do not share them, I think the State of Israel has every right to exist within the boundaries of 1968 AND with a unified Jerusalem AS its capital!
That’s a discussion for another day.
Still, the view that the State of Israel does not have the right to exist is NOT EXTREME in the least by Arab, Middle Eastern Standards – it is the same view held by the leaders of Saudi Arabia, among others.
This is the view that Ahmadinejad subscribes to – NOT that all Jews should be murdered in a second Holocaust.

Big difference. Until we have PROOF he’s trying to develop NUCLEAR WEAPONS, we need to steer clear of rhetoric indicating we want to DESTROY THEM. That will just make them WANT to go and try to develop weaponry to destroy us. Wouldn’t you? If someone is saying over and over they want to destroy you… wouldn’t YOU prepare for it too? LAY OFF THE RHETORIC!
And to use the holocaust as a SCARE TACTIC? STOP with the FEAR FEAR FEAR.
PS. That wacko NEVER said he wanted to wipe israel off the face of the map either… you idiots need to look up the REAL translation. He wants the current Israeli “regime” removed from office. That’s IT!!

This is a word that should be used only in the most dire of circumstances and not wielded so loosely around – it is a word that brings up extreme grief to people around the world. This woman is simply too inexperienced and uncultured to understand this. And why when she speaks and threatens WMD’s does it sound exactly like George Bush and WMD’s in Iraq?

Palin may not know what Bush doctrine/policy is but facts are showing that Mcain/palin are following Bush ideology and interesting they share many common things with radicalism views such as Al-quida Here is common things I have found so far They are claiming they are the one from God doing Gods tasks to clean up demons on earth.They have black &white view of world , they say either you are with us or against us.They do not like other religions and believe their religion is the only one.They have zero tolerance to opposition, enemy should be crushed to death no talk/diplomacy with enemy.They believe they are always right, never admit their mistakes and be sorry about their mistakes.They act fist then think after , they like preemptive actions without calculating outcomes.They are selfish and ignoring and rejects facts against them.They Believe in today’s problems only and do not care about future crisis.They scare people to support them by claiming they are the only one can protect them.They do not believe in avoiding disaster by ignoring them first until becomes tool late to take action.They desperate in crisis and say you are on your own first, They are over confidence about their knowledge about issues and ignore other’s thoughts. They like power very much and do whatever it takes to get it.They blame enemy for every problem.Wake up America, We had 8 years of failed Bush policy ,As old dogs never learn new things do not be fooled by MCain after 27 years in Washington and Voting 95% with Bush all of sudden wants to bring change. enough is enough.

Obama: Graduated with a degree from Columbia University, law degree from Harvard, president of Harvard Law Review, and a constitutional law professor for 12 years.
Oh yeah and spare me with the Palin has more executive experience argument too. If that’s the case than McCain or Biden don’t have executive experience either.

It is very important what Gov. Sarah Palin said: Second Holocaust, make sure Iran President hear what she said, because he say the Holocaust never happened, that it is a myth, so someone…reminding him that yes it was not a myth…that there is a first one…and that it did happen.
She was right on the spot whereas Iran’s President is concerned.
Besides she is telling him she is not going to accept nor put up with his rethoric!

The anti-Iran whipped-up fervor is getting in the way of America’s best interests.
The Bush Jr administration has made lots of enemies in the Middle East. Iraq has already licensed China to develop its oil fields, after ending the agreements with the U.S. The CIA’s monkeying around in Pakistan and Syria have alienated those countries.
Iran is being squeezed by Russia, which has taken over a portion of Iran country and declared it “Russian.”
What we need to do as anation is grow the frack up, quit this insane neocon posturing, and align ourselves with Iraq. They have oodles of oil and a thriving business class who would love to make money from American products.
We are not going to have alternative energy up to speed for years, and we need a buffer to get us to that point.
Aligning ourselves with Iran would give us that buffer, and would also give us a presence in the region with a powerful Middle Eastern force.

You don’t have half a clue. If you were really concerned about the future of this country you wouldn’t be voting for a candidate who is the exact replica of Bush’s policies.
Palin is not running for American Idol or Miss Alaska. Yeah, she has an engaging personality and it’s great that she has five kids. But that’s not a reason for someone to be a heartbeat away from the presidency!!
People need to realize that a president should evoke more qualities than someone you want to have a beer or a mooseburger with!!

I was going to Ocala tomorrow to hear Palin address the republican stronghold in senior development called the villages. You can’t go unless you have a ticket and you can’t get a ticket unless you have been vetted as friendly to palin.

I hate it when a person uses the saddest chapters in a specific group of people’s history to get votes. It’s kind of like when politicians comes to low income communities churches on Sunday morning talking about how much they can relate to low income folks and then you never see of here from them again until the next election and all the stuff they promise to do to help make life more productive better for you, they never ever do. One thing I’ve learned about people when they are trying to get to the top is that they will say and do anything including pretending to care when in reality they could care less. I have a feeling this is one of those times and Palin is one of those people. Very sad.

“PS. That wacko NEVER said he wanted to wipe israel off the face of the map either… you idiots need to look up the REAL translation. He wants the current Israeli “regime” removed from office. That’s IT!!”
————
Wikipedia entry addressing the question of how best to translate “the Wacko’s” phrase.
—————-
“Wiped off the map” or “Vanish from the pages of time” translation
Many news sources have presented one of Ahmadinejad’s phrases in Persian as a statement that “Israel must be wiped off the map”, an English idiom which means to “cause a place to stop existing”, or to “obliterate totally”,or “destroy completely”.
Ahmadinejad’s phrase was ” بايد از صفحه روزگار محو شود ” according to the text published on the President’s Office’s website.
The translation…had been challenged by…Mr. Arash Norouzi, who proposes that the statement “wiped off the map” was never made and that Ahmadinejad did not refer to the nation or land mass of Israel, but to the “regime occupying Jerusalem”.
He says that the Iranian government News Agency IRIB/IRNA translation is the source of the confusion:
“One may wonder: where did this false interpretation originate? Who is responsible for the translation that has sparked such worldwide controversy? The answer is surprising. The inflammatory ‘wiped off the map’ quote was first disseminated not by Iran’s enemies, but by Iran itself. The Islamic Republic News Agency, Iran’s official propaganda arm, used this phrasing in the English version of some of their news releases covering the World Without Zionism conference…”
The phrase ‘wiped away’ can still be seen on Mr Ahmadinejad’s Presidential website:
Ahmadinejad further expressed his firm belief that the new wave of confrontations generated in Palestine and the growing turmoil in the Islamic world would in no time “wipe Israel away.”
According to Juan Cole, a University of Michigan Professor of Modern Middle East and South Asian History, Ahmadinejad’s statement should be translated as:
“The Imam said that this regime occupying Jerusalem (een rezhim-e eshghalgar-e qods) must [vanish from] the page of time (bayad az safheh-ye ruzgar mahv shavad).”
Norouzi’s translation is identical. According to Cole, “Ahmadinejad did not say he was going to ‘wipe Israel off the map’ because no such idiom exists in Persian”. Instead, “He did say he hoped its regime, i.e., “a Jewish-Zionist state occupying Jerusalem, would collapse.”
————————
Sorry, “Concerned Citizen”, but as far as this “Idiot” (me) is concerned, the various different translations all amount to “distinctions without a difference”

I am truly an objective voice here, because I do not like ANY of the candidates running for the highest office of our country. I also hate negativity,and refuse to be swayed by negative adds and media. Is it not possible to win this office by JUST stating the issues and how you plan to better our country? Quoting each candidate by using their words out of context ( like many of you here are doing), should be illegal. both campaigns hope you are ignorant enough to be led by the nose and never ask questions.
Here is how I see this anti-Iran rally. The Democrats made a mistake by not standing together on this front.
As far as Sarah Palin saying something about “the second holocaust”, she is merely saying what could possibly happen because Ahmadiginejah stated more than once. that Iran would like to see Israel wiped off the map. As far as Palin’s comment about Russia, and seeing it from her window, If Russia became a very serious threat and they attacked our country, where would they start their invasion? Alaska is about 50 miles from Russia, you figure it out.,
Here are a few other things to straighten out:
Obama doesn’t want kindergarten children to have the same sex ed that older kids have.
McCain can’t use the computer and email because he can’t put his arms out in front of him compliments of his stay at the Hanoi Hilton.
Sarah Palin’s daughter’s pregnancy has nothing to do with how well Palin would run the country.
And poor Joe Biden, he’s left out in the cold. No body cares.
As far as I can see, no matter who gets elected we are up sh#* creek without a paddle. God help us all.

#1: Ahmadinejad has vowed to annihilate the State of Israel. A nuclear strike would certainly be a second Holocaust.The definition of holocaust is destruction by fire.
#2: The phrase is from an interview that John McCain gave in July of 2008 to Israel Channel 2 TV. It was praised by the Israeli people.
#3: It seems that Obama supporters have no real connection to anything that is right and decent, like McCain and Palin.

Gomac,
Obama has foreign policy experience because he’s traveled abroad to the Middle East and Europe and has spoken with foreign leaders. He is also the chair of the foreign relations sub-committee. He co-authored a nuclear arms bill with Republican Senator Richard Lugar.
Almost every foreign policy proposal Obama has made over the last 19 months, Bush has slowly and reluctantly executed. Obama has received more donations than McCain from men currently serving by a margain of 6 to 1.
Every nation in Europe wants him to be the next president, because they know that it would be the end of the dreadful cowboy diplomacy.

I think she is trying to regain some of the spotlight by saying outrageous things about outrageous dictators. But being from Alaska she doesn’t realize she is just a nominee, not the president, she is suppose to support the ticket not her own agenda, wait maybe that is the agenda to start WWIII. I have gotten extremely tired of her and just want to see her go back to Alaska. There were so many better options for Vice President but this is the impulsive behavior McCain has demonstrated his whole life.

John McCain, who has risen to political prominence on his image as a Vietnam POW war hero, has, inexplicably, worked very hard to hide from the public stunning information about American prisoners in Vietnam who, unlike him, didn’t return home. Throughout his Senate career, McCain has quietly sponsored and pushed into federal law a set of prohibitions that keep the most revealing information about these men buried as classified documents. Thus the war hero who people would logically imagine as a determined crusader for the interests of POWs and their families became instead the strange champion of hiding the evidence and closing the books.
Almost as striking is the manner in which the mainstream press has shied from reporting the POW story and McCain’s role in it, even as the Republican Party has made McCain’s military service the focus of his presidential campaign. Reporters who had covered the Vietnam War turned their heads and walked in other directions. McCain doesn’t talk about the missing men, and the press never asks him about them.
The sum of the secrets McCain has sought to hide is not small. There exists a telling mass of official documents, radio intercepts, witness depositions, satellite photos of rescue symbols that pilots were trained to use, electronic messages from the ground containing the individual code numbers given to airmen, a rescue mission by a special forces unit that was aborted twice by Washington and even sworn testimony by two Defense secretaries that “men were left behind.” This imposing body of evidence suggests that a large number the documents indicate probably hundreds of the US prisoners held by Vietnam were not returned when the peace treaty was signed in January 1973 and Hanoi released 591 men, among them Navy combat pilot John S. McCain.
A lot more …

Jennifer – So you want a President that will take the interests of the rest of world before ours? No thank you!!! Our President has a responsibility to protect us first and I would expect it. With regards to the Iranian President – he has repeatedly called for the destruction of Israel. Sounds an awful lot like what a former German leader wanted to do to the Jews and anyone else non-Aryan that is referred to as the Great Holocaust. Do you all honestly think that it couldn’t happen again??????

oe – figures, you are CLUELESS as to the issue (the real non-issue) of Sarah Palin’s investigation. There are two separate issues. One: she never fired anyone; she gave him the choice to move to another area in her administration, but he didn’t want to, so he “left state government” and his departure had nothing to do with the trooper, who is, by the way, still a trooper probably tasering kids and people who he pulls over.
But, do not fret, I totally understand how the liberal media spin things out of control, so you really never have the real truth. It’s a no brainer decision.
She can fire anyone in her administration for whatever reason and she can and it is her right. FACT: the firing had NOTHING to do with the trooper, it was an insubordination issue and she has records to back it up, two separate issues, keep that in mind. But, the libs and the hench people will waste more taxpayer money chasing air like they spent the last two years trying to impeach bush wasting precious congressional time being mad about the 2000/2004 elections.
Freaks.

What can we expect as far as real support for Israel? Obama has Never had an original thought of his own. His Political Guru and the man who Really runs the whole show is David Axelrod, a well known self hating Jew. How pathetic. Axelrod is also a personal and close friend of Bill Ayers, a founder of the “Weatherman”.
Ayers, a well known Terrorist who bombed US Governemnt buildings in the early 1970′s is an unrepentant terrorist and still travels to Obama rallies, many times on the same plane with David Axelrod.
And there..as Paul Harvey would say..is the Rest of the Story!

The media should simply ignore Sarah Palin because she is totally irrelevant to the upcoming Presidential election. The woman is obviously nuts, when she makes statements such as her ability to allegedly see Russia from a small island off the Alaskan coast gives her foreign policy experience. McSame makes similar statements, but his are explained by senile dementia. As for Palin, blissful ignorance seems to be the only logical explanation. Obama/Biden 2008!!!

Palintology – Before you put information out there erroneously trashing McCain’s record regarding the status of POW/MIA’s, you would be wise to remember that the Dems’ beloved John Kerry was the Chairman of the committee. As Chair, that means John Kerry covered it up.

Once a contributing supporter, Hillary continues to decline in my eyes. If she wants to become another Obama-ite just staging the next photo op, she can to kiss it.

I would imagine that very few votes are swung one way or another by anything said on these blogs and the voters on these sights represent only a very few of the voting public. What you will find is people on these blogs, for the most part keep up on politics and issues more than a lot of voters out their that only care about voting along party lines or for personality. Shoot, I always voted republican, but as an Independent, I will support Obama. I do not hate republicans, Dem’s, Independents just because they disagree with me. I try to look at all Americans as Americans first and respect them and their opinions. After all it is not the President that makes this country great, but the people that call themselves and that are American citizens. The only people on these blogs that I dont respect are the racist. I dont care what color or religion you are and if you are a bigot I have nothing for you. We all just want a better tomarrow for our USA and may just have different opinions on how to get there. Just my opinion.

I have a concern that Bush or McCain can come up with a real plan that can keep this finacial mess from happening again. Why did we even get to this point and why didnt they see it coming if a plan can be made in a day or two. I will say that the only one that addressed this mess coming was Obama 6 months ago. Obama says he wont comment on the current plan until he gets more facts. Republicans are knocking him for that and yet they havnt even released the plan details yet for him to comment on. McCain has a 10 point plan and Im sorry but givin our current and past finance mess, it takes a little longer to develope a real plan that isnt designed to just sound ok and to get votes. A 10 point plan doesnt even start to protect us from this happening again. Voters seem to want everything right now. Thats the problem and why this mess is even a topic today.

And now a lone voice speaks up to tell the truth, “that he wants to destroy the Nation of Isreal,” and fot this she is called every name, just who is playing political games?? Every American no matter your politacal bent, that believes in justice and freadom should be speaking out. This man has stated from his own lips that he wants the destruction of Isreal. Yes, he wants another holocaust, a horrible word, but he calls it by another name “annihilation” Better to know who the true enemy is, and for every soul that speaks up aganist it, can only help build an army of outrage!

A sampling of some of the comments made McCain/Palin supporters on this blog.

“I will not pay reperations to some black man who was never a slave for something my great-great grandaddy did.
—————-
I hate all you niggers and liberals.

“Excellent article by Empti Walawala. Is she ABC’s correspondent in the Congo?”
——————–
“The problem is if Curious George gets in he wouldnt know whether to sit or wind his watch.”
“I just cannot see that stuttering, Curious George looking, Black militant in the wgite house.”
——————-
“Bucky stutters like Porky Pig on cocaine. And Michelle comes across as an angry militant racist gorilla.
don’t let these freaks anywhere near the white house.”
—————————————-
My own observation…
In light of these racist comments, and many others in a similar vein on this blog, I doubt that these Palin supporters care at all if Jews become victims of a second Holocaust.
The sentiments expressed in the comments above are entirely in line with the racist ideology that inspired Hitler to commit the first Holocaust.

I agree that it is stupid for the McCain campaign to claim that Palin has experience in foreign policy and national security. Such an obvious losing battle for any state governor. Governors are concerned with their state’s affairs as they should. What McCain should be doing is pointing out that Palin is the only candidate with years of Excutive experience as a mayor and governor, both positions of high accountability. She has demonstrated an ability to make touch decisions in the face of intimidation and corruption and is a proven bi-partisan leader. No president or VP is an expert in every field. Thats why they must surround themselves with experts who provide them with all the information they will ever need. Its what the candidate will do with that information that we should be considering. Who has proven to make good decisions demonstrated leadership in the face of difficult circumstances while benefiting the people they serve? Thats the question voters should ask. This mudslinging stuff gets our country no where.

The Obambie Boiz now talk about Sarah the exact same words were used on Hillary. And if any other woman tries to better herself the Obambie Dems will say the same of her.
The real support for women has shifted to those who act with respect for women. McCain pays all women on his staff equal to all men. He chooses a woman and the Repubs love her. Looks to me like the advancement of womans rights will come with the election of Sarah. It will open the door again for Hillary.
If people slam the door shut on Sarah then Hillary will have to fight harder once again to open the door for women.

CW – back to blaming 9/11 on Bush? The President in office as the threat was building was Clinton. The govt was barely handed over (yeah, it takes 6 months) and we were attacked. Clinton had opportunities, including Somalia that wanted to hand bin Laden and he said no thank you. The first war is the result of the citizens demanding that those responsible for 9/11 be held accountable – or do all the Dems conveniently forget that? The second war was and is unfortunate – however, we do need to complete this and come on home. Although from the perspective of many Iraqis who suffered under Saddam, they are grateful to our nation. Ask my friends who worked with the CIA in the early 90′s or were jailed in Saddam’s prisons. Many more people disappeared under Saddam than have been killed in the war. The current financial meltdown is a result of do-nothing Democratic led Congress. When they do finally figure something out, they put so much extra earmarks on the backend of the bills that have nothing to do with the original bill, that they must be vetoed. And then of course, these Dem leaders will add additional earmarks after the bill has been voted on, which led to Bush issuing an Executive Order last spring that stated that these add ons would not be paid for if they weren’t voted on. So, while the financial markets have continued their spiral, the Democratic led Congress has done nothing substantial, and even have debated such wonderful things as National Watermelon Day. Big bang for the buck there. Remember – the Congress has to pass the bill that has the best interests of America and her citizens before the President can sign it into law. Any federal bills should be in the interest of all the American people, period and not for each Congressman’s special projects.

Sarah Palin is as sharp as a bag of marbles. Let’s be kind and call her warnings about Iran subjecting Jews to a second holocaust hyperbole. Believe me Mrs. Palin, if Iran wants to get a chunk of meat knocked out of their arses, then let them attack Isreal. The only thing that is keeping the Jews from solving the Iranian nuclear threat is the fact that the USA is asking them to let us try first. Thanks, but no thanks Mrs. Palin, Isreal can take care of itself.

It’s amazing, the party of “getting rid of partisan politics” and “bringing people together” first could’nt stand together against Iran if a Republican was at the same protest, then, when it was going to be ONLY Governor Palin, pressured the group to dis-invite her!! If they can’t come together against someone who said “Anybody who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation’s fury,”“Iran is ready to transfer nuclear know-how to the
Islamic countries due to their need., and calling for Israel to be “wiped out from the map.”, then how can ANYONE believe that the Democrats stand for anything other then themselves.

I do believe Iran is trying to develop technology but this is fear mongering. Iran is not planning a holocaust, they are trying to obtin nuclear weapons to use as negotiating leverage. And of course we don’t want that. But to bring images of genocide and use fear to help her team get votes, is really lame.
Posted by: Rod M | September 19, 2008, 8:08 pm 8:08 pm
Some people just love war and destruction and will use any rationale to light it up. They will use their religion, they will use fear, they will use non-existent “weapons of mass destruction.” Palin scares me because she talks LIKE she knows what she is talking about, when in reality her lack of knowledge is far more terrifying than Iran.

what is really scary are these posts. if i didn’t know better, I would think these are posted by a bunch of 5 year olds. this is not a football team people where you can blindly cheer your favorite team on. this is a vote for the president for the united states. blind faith in a political party right or wrong is NOT in your best interest. get educated in non-partisan information on the issues. o’reilly, combes, limbaugh, franken is ENTERTAINMENT, NOT REALITY. preaching to the choir is easy. use your brains and search for the truth, even if it hurts to admit it.

If you believe Iran is a small country and not a threat as Obama does, I understand how you can find it difficult to comprehend the danger Iran represent and the hate they spew.

As someone who had one of the largest Jewish families in Europe at the time of the Holocaust…60% of whom were killed by the Nazi regime…I am at a loss for words…to invoke the great genocide for political gain…to use the memory of those who have been lost to the great menace…to try and capitalize on the tombs of the dead to get elected…I am horrified. I do not for a moment think that any candidate running for President or Vice-President of the United States would sit idly by and watch those events again unfold to the great horror of the world without addressing the circumstance of their making…Iran has made threats, yes, threats, and those should be taken with care and if necessary, with action, but never, never for the politics of party. Never for that for it was the politics of the Nazi Party that first gave rise to the feelings that so swept Germany and led to the Final Solution in the first place. ————————————I am sorry about your family, my great uncle went to a concentration camp and never returned. However, you are a disgrace for trying to imply this is just political. This has to be brought up considering we have a candidate who’s church praises the hate of Israel. It is important for our candidates to make clear their stance on this. This is one of the most important issues of our time and it is important for our candidates will do to prevent another potential holocaust

JJ – as usual, the Democrats resort to petty insults because they can’t truly debate the issues with any intelligence or facts. I only want the election over as a result of this type of garbage coming out of mouths like yours. I really don’t care what color or gender anyone is – I look at and will vote for the best candidate – whether Democrat or Republican. I even fairly gave John Kerry every opportunity to convince through the final debate – just didn’t add up.

The die-hard Palin supporters might restore at least a little of their credibility if they disavowed the racist, extreme-right, fascist, know-nothing comments made by your fellow Palin Republicans on this blog.
C’mon you Republicans who support McCain /Palin. Join all right-minded, patriotic Americans and denounce the racists in your crowd.
If you won’t even do that, how can you expect anyone to listen to your other arguments?
—————-
Here is a just a small sampling…
A sampling of some of the comments made McCain/Palin supporters on this blog.
————-
“I will not pay reperations to some black man who was never a slave for something my great-great grandaddy did.
—————-
I hate all you niggers and liberals.
—————–
“Excellent article by Empti Walawala. Is she ABC’s correspondent in the Congo?”
——————–
“The problem is if Curious George gets in he wouldnt know whether to sit or wind his watch.”
“I just cannot see that stuttering, Curious George looking, Black militant in the wgite house.”
——————-
“Bucky stutters like Porky Pig on cocaine. And Michelle comes across as an angry militant racist gorilla.
don’t let these freaks anywhere near the white house.”
————-
“Obama hates JEWS, he is a MUSLIM”
———————–
My observation:
Since NO McCain/Palin supporters on this blog are denouncing these remarks, I have to assume they all secretly subscribe to them.
Your silence in the face of this rabid racism equals tacit approval, and does reveal you all to be a clan of secret fascist, Nazi sympathizers. :-)

That’s interesting that you inject the word “equal” comparing Obama to Gates. What does that mean? But it’s bogus to say that Obama doesn’t have a great mind, IF that’s what you mean, like Gates. Gates is a great mind with respect to computers. He wouldn’t try to be a lawyer. Obama clearly excels in his field or he wouldn’t have done as well as he did at Harvard. What did Bush or McCain do to show excellence in academy. McCain placed 894 in his class out of 899. In his case, I still believe he would be a capable leader but it’s likely most of these McCain supporters voted for Bush and what a mess we have now. Bush was not a great mind and I think we sure could use one now.

m@cchiavelli: I would agree that ANYONE resorting to any name calling, insulting, biased, racist, age-based or gender tripe should just keep their comments to themselves. This is a very serious election. The difficulty is that for the most part one side won’t listen to the other – each side has it’s points. Although I am voting for McCain this election year, I gave as much of my time to the Democratic convention as I did the Republican. Totally informed decisions is what will make a difference once this election is over. I could possibly vote Obama at a different time – I just don’t feel that he is ready yet to hold this office at this particular juncture in time.

A sincere thanks;-)
I only wish more honorable McCain/Palin supporters would come out and denounce the racist, bigoted comments being made by self-proclaimed McCain/Palin supporters on this blog.
I recognize that quite a few Obama supporters have made offensive sexist remarks about Gov. Palin’s qualifications, and have also ridiculed Sen. McCain because of his age.
Many of these comments are equally offensive.
I would, however, add that I do not think every question about Gov. Palin’s readiness is necessarily sexist (any more than I think questions about Obama’s readiness are unfair)
I also think that questions about McCain’s age – particularly in light of his past cancer – are entirely legitimate. Such questions are relevant.
—————-
On the question of racism in this campaign.
I find it doubly strange that in a blog entry devoted to the question of the Holocaust, McCain/Palin supporters should so freely make crude, racist remarks.
The first Holocaust was inspired by a political demagogue and populist, Adolf Hitler, who believed in the superiority of a fictitious “Aryan” race, and the inferiority of other “races” (Jews, Slavs, Blacks, Gypsies).
Hitler would feel right at home among at least a few of Palin’s supporters, given the racist views they’ve expressed here.

Something is very wrong with this picture. If Iranians hate Jews so much then why are Jews considered a protected class in Iran? It’s seems after Hitler and World War II, Jews who went to Iran to live were given protected class status. They were and are much more protected in Iran than blacks are in America. Someone isn’t giving us the correct translations. And since most Americans can’t speak any language outside their own, it’s easy to fool them.

I will proudly be the first to “denounce the racist, bigoted comments being made by self-proclaimed McCain/Palin supporters on this blog.”
I am a McCain Palin Supporter, and I honestly believe that racism should not be invoked in a presidential election, or any election for that matter.

If Nobama treats the country with the same results he had in IL while he was in office…the country is in deep trouble. More murders in Chicago than deaths with our military in Iraq this year. The economy in IL is in shambles. If Nobama could not help fix IL…how can he fix the Country? More jobs were lost in IL during Nobama’s watch than since the great depression. Nobama is not qualified to do anything except campaign. NOBAMA !!!

Ahmadinejad just this week threatened the annihilation of Israel – again. It’s obvious that any concession made by Israel to her enemies is viewed by Iran and other Moslem states, as well as by Hamas and Hezbollah, as merely a sign of weakness and of Israel’s impending doom. They don’t look at it as a sign of “goodwill”. If you did any research you’d know that it is a historical FACT (recorded by Moslem historians) that Muhammad (and the men with him) once slew 300 Jewish men in front of their wives and children, buried them in a mass grave, and then took the women and children as slaves. Do you expect his present-day followers of Muhammad to treat Jews any better than the founder of their religion once they get the upper hand? Get out of your goodie-two-shoes dream world and wake up to reality. Without a doubt, Iran IS planning another holocaust.

Petee, may I ask, do you know the language of the people of Iran enough to translate for yourself? Everything you and other Americans have gotten thus far was translated to you. Reminds me of that report that Saddam Hussein allegedly tried to have Bush senior assassinated. It all got the desired results. America in Iraq. But where did that report come from? And who’s doing the translation that’s being fed to us? Unless you know the language of the people don’t take the translator at face value. That old saying, “The first casualty of war is TRUTH!” Someone’s lying to the average American people.

“Some people just love war and destruction and will use any rationale to light it up. They will use their religion, they will use fear, they will use non-existent “weapons of mass destruction.” Palin scares me because she talks LIKE she knows what she is talking about, when in reality her lack of knowledge is far more terrifying than Iran.

Heil Terresa!
Its always nice to know that someone is reading a post. But aren’t you confusing me with some fantastic imaginary creature?
You have completely misread what I’ve written:
1. I love war? I resort to religion in order to declare some sort of holy war on the Middle East? Whaaaat?
Though raised a Christian, I am not a practicing member of any religion, and nowhere do I rely on religious claims to make my arguments.
2. Nowhere did I write that we should go to war with Iran. I wrote that I hoped for the OPPOSITE: we know Iran’s nuclear weapons program is currently NOT active, and that though it may be revived in the future, that possible future threat would be handled best both diplomatically and military by the sober minds of Obama and Biden.
3. I think McCain/Palin offer only one response – forget diplomacy, bomb now, and bomb again. This is extremely dangerous.
4. I’m an Aryan, smoking meth?
Come again?
The racist comments in my earlier posts were QUOTATIONS of remarks made by a select few McCain/Palin supporters on this blog.
I collected a few by way of illustration and then wondered why the more reasonable McCain supporters weren’t loudly denouncing such comments.
—————-
Next time, please be so courteous as to read the entire post before jumping to conclusions and hurling more insults.
You only add to the already abysmal level of debate on this blog.

Here’s what McCain has to say about the wonders of market-based health reform:

What a bunch of baloney. After spending 40 years fending off the Soviet Union which had 40,000 nuclear weapons why should anybody take Iran seriously? It’s a third-world country that poses no threat to the United States. As one of the few countries in the region we haven’t been dropping bombs on (yet), they have no real motivation to attack us anyway. If they did then Ayatollah Khomeini would have had an easy time finding suicide bombers. Alas nobody was interested since we weren’t killing them and they had already overthrown the government we had arranged for them. They’re certainly not going to give nukes to Bin Laden. They’d be afraid of them being used against themselves. And if this is such a dire problem then why haven’t we savaged Pakistan which DOES have nukes and plenty of Bin Laden sympathizers in it’s military and intelligence services? The answer is simple. It’s because despite all the religious bluster these places still aren’t run by fools. They know the manufacturing origin of any nuclear weapon can be determined in a matter of hours and they would face annihilation. The doctrine of mutually assured destruction is still perfectly valid, except that it wouldn’t be “mutual” since we would still be around and they would not. If anything, Iran is a natural ally to the U.S. since we will need somebody to keep the Arabs in line after we’ve used up all their oil.

I think that I have figured out why the libs on these sites, in the press and in the entertainment media are so nasty, hateful and illogical when they rant anti Palin remarks. First, of course it is the FEAR THAT GOV. PALIN’S POPULARITY AMONG GOP CONSERVATIVE FENCE SITTERS WHILE ALSO ATTRACTING A PORTION OF HILLARY’S SUPPORTERS, WOULD PUT THE MCCAIN/PALIN TICKET OVER THE TOP. BUT, PROBABLY, DEEPER THAN THAT, IT IS THE SHOCK AND DISBELIEF THAT A STRONG CONSERVATVE CHRISTIAN WOMAN WITH TRADITIONAL AMERICAN VALUES HAS MADE IT TO THE TOP OF OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM. To them, Gov. Palin is an weird anomaly. The liberal mindset is so closed that the “PALIN ANOMALY” is something it cannot comprehend. THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE ABOUT GOV. PALIN THAT SEEMS SO FOREIGN TO HER DETRACTORS…..
AS A POLITICAL LEADER, WIFE, MOTHER AND PRACTICING CHRISTIAN – SHE APPEARS TO BE A GENUINLY “HAPPY LADY!!” THAT “REALLY” MUST DRIVE THE LIBS NUTS!!

Liberals are such a hoot! Clinton throws a hissy and bails when she finds that the spotlight won’t be entirely on her during the anti-Iran rally, but the Looney Left blames Palin! Perfect liberal logic. As for Palin’s Holocaust comments, apparently selective amnesia has set in with the Left. Ahmadinejad has already publicly called for wiping Israel off the map. Now, they’re obviously developing the capacity to build nuclear weapons. Gee, what do you suppose they might do with them? Faced with this kind of threat, Palin’s tough talk is exactly what needs to be heard. And, again, you might remember that Clinton herself threatened Iran with “obliteration” during the primaries. Apparently, that sort of talk is only palatable to liberals when it comes from one of their own.

TruthLostNTranslation: Ahmadinejad has threatened to wipe Israel off the map on many occasions. He’s been quite clear about it – and by no means is he being “mis-translated”. The heads of Hezbollah and Hamas parrot the same line as Ahmaddinjad and Palestinian school children are taught geography with a map that shows Israel gone. Just this Wednesday Ahmaddinjad said that not only is “Greater Israel” in the process of disappearing (referring Israel and the territories conquered in the Six Day War in 1967) but that “Lesser Israel” will also be disappearing shortly – “Lesser Israel” meaning what’s left of Israel after she gives up the West Bank, etc. The evidence is clearer than clear, and it has nothing to do with “mis-translation” – a holocaust IS being planned for Israel by her enemies – whether you want to acknowledge it or not.

You write:
“Petee, may I ask, do you know the language of the people of Iran enough to translate for yourself? Everything you and other Americans have gotten thus far was translated to you.”
———————————
I beg to differ. Implicit in every translation I have read of the Ahmadinejad’s statement, is an the intention to see the State of Israel destroyed.
———————
According to the text published on the President’s Office’s website Ahmadinejad said, in Persian ” بايد از صفحه روزگار محو شود ” .
This was translated as…
“Israel must be wiped off the map”.
The original translation came from the Iranian government News Agency IRIB/IRNA. If a mistake was made in the translation, it was officially sanctioned by the Iranian Government.
I don’t know what “wipe off the map” means to you, but to me the idiom means to “cause a place to stop existing”, or to “obliterate totally”,or “destroy completely”.
Other proposed translations for the Persian phrase underscore that when Ahmadinejad said “wiped off the map” he may in fact NOT have been referring to the nation or land mass of Israel, but to…
the “regime occupying Jerusalem”.
In the Wikipedia entry discussing the controversy about the ‘correct translation’, it is noted that…
“Ahmadinejad further expressed his firm belief that the new wave of confrontations generated in Palestine and the growing turmoil in the Islamic world would in no time “wipe Israel away.”
According to Juan Cole, a University of Michigan Professor of Modern Middle East and South Asian History, Ahmadinejad’s statement should be translated as:
“The Imam said that this regime occupying Jerusalem (een rezhim-e eshghalgar-e qods) must [vanish from] the page of time (bayad az safheh-ye ruzgar mahv shavad).”
————————
From my reading of the controversy, these various different translations all make “distinctions without a difference”

Bottom Line: We need their oil! And Poppy and whatever else natural resources that region and Africa has. That’s why there’s so much upheavel in that part of the world. It’s their natural resources. It was decided over fifty years ago, actually, by another COMMANDER IN CHIEFY who stated, “One day we (U.S.) will have to gain control of the natural resources of that region.” Then another Sec. of State said, “Oil is too precious of a commodity to be left in the hands of an Arab.” People if you’re going to fight and die for something, if you’re going to send your daughters, sons, husbands, brothers, sisters, moms and dads and neighbors and yourself–then at least take time to know what the fight is really all about. It’s about greedy old men who are already wealthy beyond the imagination who still aren’t satisified with their wealth. They dishonor the men and women in uniform and the sacrifices they make on the pretense of keeping US safe and for democracy. They’re old men with nothing better to do who sit around dreaming up wars for young men and women to die in. And anyone who believes otherwise must be a simpleton.

What will be really funny is when McCain and Palin win the Whitehouse in November. Obama does not have the support of moderate voters. I watched his acceptance speech and came away convinced of one thing. Barack Obama is a big government liberal. From universal healthcare to universal pre-school. Tax the rich and re-distribute to those less fortunate.
There is no way on earth that the Midwest and moderates in particular will elect such a far left candidate.
The question is, who will the Barack Obama supporters blame?

Hillary Clinton, the Democrats and Barack Obama are the partisans in this fiasco. I’m ashamed that I ever considered voting for Clinton. As a former (way back when) Hillary Clinton supporter and a woman of a certain age, I am so glad she lost to Barack Obama. I would have had to vote for her due to years of misplaced loyalty to the Democratic party. The years have not been kind to the Democratic party insomuch as they have been under the degrading influence of the ultra liberal leftist and their ideals of death and immorality. Only God could have found a way for me to vote for a moderate/centrist (slightly to the right) patriot like John McCain and also added the icing on the cake with a real honest to God beautiful and feminine woman like Sarah Palin to the ticket. I can now vote with a clean conscience for the new Republican party that puts country first.

Fact: McCain & Palin will actually DEFEND ISRAEL. McCain & Palin will send bombers to DESTROY IRAN’S NUKES.
Fact: Obama & Biden will sit silently by and allow Iran to attack and destroy Israel. Yes, they will wring their hands and plead with Amadinijad to stop, but how well has that worked in the past?

for all the lovers of palin a basic question – what the hell she is trying to accomplish by bringing Iran now when the country is in direstraits? Is she trying to divert the attention?Not this time…Enough is Enough.People got fooled left right and center By Bush and now another 8 years of same policies?Are you kidding? American people should be dumb enough to go for the same old thing again.

I have a question for the Obamers – can anyone tell me one project that Obama successfully implemented as a community organizer?
Also, since foreign policy experience seems to be such a vital concern, can anyone tell me even 1 foreign policy decision that Obamer or Biden have made?
Just one – anyone?, anyone?

You stupid liberal hacks, don’t you see what you have caused. What business did Hillary have bowing out of an event that would have shown Iran that the United States stands united in their conviction that Israel will be defended if the little Nazi were to obtain nuclear weapons and want to “wipe her from the face of the earth”. By Hillary bowing out, she just showed what an egomaniac she is and how she has no moral or ethical committment to the State of Israel and keeping nuclear weapons out of the hands of a terroist. And then to add insult to injury, they un-invite Governor Palin to the event. What is wrong with you liberals? This event would have been the perfect venue to show Iran that the American people are committed as a people to the security of the State of Israel. Don’t you see that if Barack Hussein Obama becomes president (G-d forbid), he’ll be sitting down with the little Nazi and it will be the means to the end of Israel. You stupid liberal idiots. Read, read, read. Arm yourselves with information before you go on these websites and make asses out of yourselves. P.S. I’m Jewish, and I can’t tell you how disappointed and horrified that my own people are that ignorant. Do you need to be wearing yellow Stars of David in order for you to see what is in store for your children and grandchildren if you allow Iran’s little Nazi thug to even be allowed in this country, let alone make a speech to the U.N.? G-d help us all.

republican 1972: As the article states, what precipitated Palin’s comments was the fact that she was invited to attend a rally against Iran going nuclear sponsored by various Jewish groups supporting Israel and then she got “dis-invited” because Hillary refused to show up at the same rally with her. What was Sarah supposed to do, stay silent? Neville Chamberlain she aint.

Gene- Obama and Biden are senators and not all senators work on foreign relations commitee.In my opinion Biden was the chairman of foreign relations commitee and he did a hecka good job than Mcain who has practically no experience in foreign relations.Mcain is a respected and honorable person but that doesnt defines him to be a leader.If Mcain is more eligible to be the president why 80 percent of the world think otherwise?One can throw many excuses like Obama is a hollywood star and he is a socialist.Ultimately for america to be world leader they have to have the supoort of all the powerful socialists and capitalists.Does anybody believe we dare to go attack Russia with out NATO?I dont think so.NATO comprises of all socialists.So bottmline is leader is someone who can motivate others to rally behind him.I dont think Mcain has that potential. When I voted for Bush last time I sincerely hoped he is capable of doing that but he was the biggest disappointment.I cant even think of one single good thing happened in eight years.Mismanagement,Misjudgement and all natural disasters – Disasters galore.

We just haven’t overthrown their government or dropped bombs on them lately so nobody cares. I wouldn’t be the least surprised if we find out in 20 years that all this “Israel must be destroyed” rubbish wasn’t a three way ruse to keep oil prices propped up and the American cash flow to Israel wide open. In return we get a scary bearded little man to cow the Christian right into the Republican pen for one more election.

I agree with DL above. I also had family who were victims of the holocaust as well as present family members in Israel who would disagree with Palin. Palin is manipulating and deliberately misinterpreting and this is disgusting and repulsive to those of us who have been through our family’s and friend’s horror of that infamous period. Iran has an unpopular government. The people are just like us, trying to survive every day and they do not deserve the horror of our bombing. Palin has so little knowledge of history and her dispassion has the potential of creating enormous destruction for other people in this world.

Okay, so we all know this is political grandstanding but it is needless.
Really, Iran knows perfectly well that if they ever attacked Israel with nuclear weapons they would be completely wiped off the earth. On the other hand, Iran sees our troops to the west in Iraq – our troops to the north in Turkey – our troops to the east in Afghanistan – and our Navy to the south. We invaded Iraq pre-emptively, why wouldn’t we invade them? If we were in their situation, we would be working on nukes day and night.
Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t like them and the last thing we need is nuclear proliferation – especially in Iran. But stupid bellicosity towards them will not solve anything. They realize that they will not be treated as an equal until they have nukes and they are probably, and unfortunately, right.

Her comments are just more of the same bull to scare voters that Democrats are weak and will let terrorists take over the country, killing us all if we vote for them. Only the Republicans have the balls to stand up and defend our country. They did the same thing during the last election to try to scare everyone away from voting from Kerry. I’m surprised that the terrorism level hasn’t been elevated to the highest alert levels, which means that only Republicans can safeguard our country by invading another oil producing country. Oh, and if the terror level is red, what are we suppose to do again?

Really, Iran knows perfectly well that if they ever attacked Israel with nuclear weapons they would be completely wiped off the earth.
——————
I find I generally agree & am even enlightened by your posts. However, I disagree with you – to a degree – on the question of the dangers represented by a nuclear armed Iran.
I do think that Iran’s nuclear weapons development program could be seen as entirely rational – a realistic response to Pres. Bush’s bellicosity and Sen. McCain’s militarism (“bomb, bomb, bomb”)
I also recognize that Iranian leaders know full well that if they try to use nuclear weapons against Israel they would only assure their own destruction.
Mutually assured destruction (M.A.D.) has been effective as a deterrent in the past.
However, the Iranian regime IS somewhat different in relevant respects from past regimes that had nuclear arms, or who harbored nuclear ambitions.
1. The central difference is that Iran is a theocracy – and is currently led by a regime that is wedded to an Islamic millenerian vision of the “end of days”.
M.A.D. only works if both sides in fact WANT to prevent mutually assured destruction.
M.A.D. fails when one or the other (or both) sides are convinced that we are living in the “end of days”, and that “mid-wifing” Armageddon is religiously sanctioned.
Ahmadinejad takes just this view.
I know that in this regard Pakistan, which already has the nuclear bomb, actually represents a more realistic and serious threat.
I recognize that Ahmadinejad does NOT in fact control Iran’s foreign policy.
Still, I don’t think that a theocratic, millenerian, apocalytic Iran with a nuclear bomb would make the world a safer place.
And I do not think that M.A.D. is any guarantee that some future Iranian religious leader might not feel tempted to “goose” the Apocalypse by pushing the nuclear button.

For all those offended by Palin’s use of the term “second Holocaust”, the phrase from a 1993 novel by Philip Berg entitled “Operation Shylock.” It is used in the Israeli media to describe the threat Iran poses to Israel. You make fun of Palin’s ignorance but only reveal your own.

For all the die hard Mcain/Palin fans you can shout,abuse and talk all nonsense , truth is this election verdict is going democrat way.They gave one opportunity to Bush , then another opportunity to learn the mistakes but he didnt and now we are in a deep hole.It would be really stupid enough to think that Americans will give another third term.Unless MCAIN shows the nerves to come out and openly denounce that current administration was a collosal failure.You can say obama did this ,democrat controlled congress did that and so on, but reality is when you say that you are really diggging a hole in your grave yard.Americans elect a President on the confidence that he can lead the country and reach across party aisles.If they are incapable of doing that they shouldnt be talking about all crap during the campaigns.after winning the presidency, putting the blame on some one else is an act of cowardice, stupidity and inefficiency.For those who preach and advise others to read the news and be current on information, it is the same news that fooled you and several others into the notion that Iraq is the root cause of 9/11 and not afghanistan.When truth came out Bush and all croonies royally flipflopped and spread their innocence that they were unaware of it.Pretty Shameful.Now it is the same stupid political agenda in the news..Iran is coming where as the actual guy behind is freaking out on the hills of pakistan and afghanistan.They say they donthave enough troops to sent there and get him.If you go by all the stupid political stunts and go by what they say , you guys once for all will remain as fools.Reformer Palin is talking about Russia?Wow..Maybe she thinks tiny Sadaam and Putin as the same?It would be a disaster if she thinks that way and chart out her foreign policy based on that.

Big talk with no troops, and no money to back it with this financial crisis only looks like “bluff” and an effort to get Jewish votes. Yet, what have we got…another WAR-MONGER.

hey dumb@$$ I’ll give you a very legitimate answer………. because he meets the criteria set forth in the Constitution which defines who can and can’t be elected President. Obama meets it, McCain meets it, Palin meets it, and Biden meet it. So stuff it up your *%$ and get on to a legitimate argument.
I’m so sick of listening to this “qualification” BS……… you people are complete f’n morons…..

Palin is beyond belief. This woman is a joke. The joke will be on us if she gets anywhere near the white house. Goodbye USA if that happens. Haloween is coming, does she show her true colors at micnight?
Posted by: mainecoonrudy | September 20, 2008, 7:53 am 7:53 am
Palin talks like an extremist. Her Second Holocaust speech is a fear tactic. She is for War Profiteering. She has already decided she wants another war. Why? Never give up on diplomacy, or other countries will give up on us. She should have learned this as a christian. What kind of morals does she have? Bush’s? She needs to read a few books, before becoming VP. Read Irans history and try to understand them better. Just because a push the button general, wants their oil too, is not yet a reason to go to war. People like her and McCain, do nothing but seperate us from the world. She needs to deal with the United Nations first. They to need an overhaul.
Posted by: historyforgotten | September 20, 2008, 8:53 am 8:53 am
The Palin / McCain camp has already contracted an engineering firm to design massive pontoons to attach to Air Force 2 (the VP’s jet) so she can fly home and land on the lake in her back yard weekends. At first she was against it, now she’s for it.

The already weak support for Obama among Jews is getting weaker. There will be a serious backlash especially in NJ and NY. Obama threatened the organizers to disinvite Palin. Thuggery and hacking continue.
Right – better to vote for Palin, whose church hosted Jews for Jesus and listened to a diatribe about how all of the terrorist attacks in Israel show God’s wrath because the Jews have not accepted Jesus as their savior. I assume the Holocause was similar displeasure. Nice to say the bad stuff is all the fault of the Jews. And you’re going to vote for her?!
Posted by: Jen | September 20, 2008, 10:27 am 10:27 am
Palin is not a factor aymore.She was inducted into the campaign to slow down the OBAMA momentum GOP feared after the conventions.They achieved with all her women appeal and then the whole good for nothing talk and attacks on lipstick and sexism in order to steal low income working class women voters.As a refurbished item on sale, they also tried to sell that her alaska experience is far more superior to Obama’s Senate experience.Sexism works a bit as it has eroded some of the core democratic women voters in Ohio and PA but her sale item never worked and now with troopergate investigation and her lies on “Bridge to Nowhere” People really started moving away from her and are really questioning John Mcain’s charisma and integrity.Adding to that Bill O reilly and some of the prominent GOP Conservative leaders admitted on FOX reluctantly that Palin shouldnt be the factor Instead John Mcain should be and that was a shocker for those who took in all the lies and believed that She is indeed a heartbeat away from Presidency.With her recent rhetoric on attacks against Russia and Holocaust against Iran americans are very clear what her motives are.I am a Jew.I can say with all authority Jews are very smart and Israel doesnt need american military support to buttress Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.All they need is moreal support which they get from both Democrat and Republicans.So Holocaust story will by all means turn out to be a HOLLOW CAST STORY.

Please check this out … the most comprehensive page of information on Sarah Palin on the Internet … including videos of her saying her proposed $30 billion pipeline is the “will of God,” her saying a month ago she doesn’t know what the vice-president does, and her complaining four months ago that Hillary Clinton was whining about “sexist media” coverage -

They use scare tactics and take advantage that majority of people do not know history especially world history and can say anything and it will be believed as Gospel. If you knew anything about world history you would not make your ignorant and obvious racist comments about Obama. Just check out the website therealmccain and be an informed American. Do your own research. It’s always best to learn what you don’t understand to better understand. I am democrat and know the history. Some good some bad. Same for the republican party. Don’t judge on what people say but what they have done.

What will be really funny is when McCain and Palin win the Whitehouse in November. Obama does not have the support of moderate voters. I watched his acceptance speech and came away convinced of one thing. Barack Obama is a big government liberal. From universal healthcare to universal pre-school. Tax the rich and re-distribute to those less fortunate.
There is no way on earth that the Midwest and moderates in particular will elect such a far left candidate.
The question is, who will the Obama supporters blame?

I read that six women’s rights groups have endorsed Obama. It seems that he has kept a cooler head with this economic disaster that is taking place and doesn’t appear to be in a panic like McCain does. I have checked some of McCain’s ads on various websites that check facts and he has told quite a few lies lately in his campaign ads. Sometimes he seems worse than Bush.

The pressing question isn’t how we should respond to Iranian ‘bluster’ from a country that is not yet even close to developing nuclear weapons and does not currently even have and active nuclear weapons program.
The pressing question is what we should be doing about PAKISTAN, a country that already DOES have nuclear weapons, is politically unstable, and whose weapons systems are vulnerable to take-over by Islamic extremists.
——
If nuclear missiles are going to be used against Israel (or India, for that matter), it is much more likely they will come from Pakistan, not Iran.

I agree with you 100% on that point. Big government is, well, too big!
My larger point is if you were for less government and had to choose between Barack Obama and John McCain who would you vote for? If you go to Obama’s website he talks of universal healthcare and while we’re at it, universal pre-school. Most moderates (myself included as an independent) are very skeptical of government run anything. Fannie May and Freddie Mac are quasi-government programs. Social security is no better (a disaster for those of us who will retire in 20 years).
Most moderate, independents will enter the voting booth on November 4, look at both major candidates and vote on the one that reflects their values. I believe most moderates will not vote for Barack Obama as he is simply too far to the left. I could be wrong as it is simply my opinion…

Many of these posts ridiculing Governor Sarah Palin appear to be coming from people who act as if they are elitists. The fact that a female Democrat leader and a female Republican leader were invited to participate in what should be an anti-Iran event for the securtiy of our country shows that the event was non-partisan. I do not understand why Hillary backed out, unless there was a political pressure to not give Governor Palin any credence. If I were any of the female Governors of any of the other states, I would be outraged at the treatment of Governor Sarah Palin. Hillary Clinton knows more than anyone what this kind of treatment means. She should have remained a participant.
As for Governor Palin, who is well educated, who has worked in the public sector for years for progress and change, and who has a fighting spirit that all women should be proud of, she is attracting many voters to the Republican Party. Those who have been stunned by her emergence on the national ticket should take a deep breath and show her the respect she deserves. Elitism destroys any pretended message for the common good.

Social Security is in crisis for at least two reasons
1. The birthrate in the U.S. is too low (not enough replacement workers)
2. Retirees are living much longer after retirement.
The combination of these two factors (to few new workers paying into the system, to many retired workers taking money out of the system) throws Social Security out of equilibrium.
Social Security IS NOT in crisis due to government mismanagement, but do demographic changes that are in conflict with each other.

“Social Security is in crisis for at least two reasons

#1 is a direct goal of the Dems – abortion has caused this problem – 50 million people slaughtered by the Democratic Parties only real plank. (and now Obamer wants to kill the ones who survive abortion)
#2 – I am sure that the Obamer Dems are working on solving this issue. Somehow they will kill off the retirees – they haven’t figured out a way to make it look like the Jews did it.

m@cchiavelli…
As for Social Security it is currently underfunded and soon to be bankrupt.
S.S. was meant to be a single payer system meaning you paid for your own retirement. Sometime in the 60′s our great leaders decided that it was overfunded and that the excess would be better spent elsewhere. S.S. has become a ponzi scheme as we each pay for someone else’s retirement. The solution I constantly hear is to raise both taxes and the retirement age, neither of which address the issue of how it went from single payer to where it is currently. Look at your paycheck sometime and note that over half of your federal tax goes to social security and medicare alone.
That, my friend, is criminal!
Fannie May is nothing more than the government deciding that people who were unqualified for loans from the private sector should qualify anyway because it was thought that lending money to those who could not afford the interest payments was the right thing to do. Now taxpayers are stuck bailing out 2 very bloated and corrupt quasi-government programs.
Do you really believe public education is better than private education? Sixty years and we are still trying to correct the same problems. Go to Obama’s website and his solution is to hire more teachers and spend more money. As for pre-school, please spare me the studies you cited or did not cite! What complete B.S. that a child who receives public education at the age of three is more successful than one who stays at home. What would you say about home-schooling then?
My belief is that our U.S Government (OUR money) is better spent doing what it was intended by the constitution. Universal healthcare does not fit that role. In fact, show me where it states that universal healthcare is part of the federal government’s intended role!
Now, you can argue that a European-style government is better than our current system. If you are so sure then state your case because you are talking about RE-DEFINING government’s role.
My point is that most moderates are skeptical of our government’s abilities to manage programs that are better left to the private sector.
This election is not about the nonsense spouted on this thread regarding governor Palin. My point is that Barack Obama is for more government programs and higher taxes. I base that on Obama’s convention speech and his stated positions on his website.
My guess is that most independent voters will also see it that way
and vote accordingly!

You have to be as smart as a first grader because even John McCain knew that Barak was 10 times smarter than he was! I bet you are having trouble figuring this out huh?

All of you trashing Palin and calling her a bitch… you weren’t going to vote for her ANYWAY. So how can you claim that Palin is going to cost McCain votes? You don’t think that Iran is a threat ANYWAY. Not only is Iran not a threat, they could never be a threat, they don’t even hate Jews! Anyone who sees Iran as a threat is unbalanced! Right?
But not everyone thinks like you. Not everyone is so completely self-concerned and convinced that the US is the only nation in the world. Some people understand that other nations not only exist but have their own agendas, their own bigots, their own dangerous, deranged rulers.
It’s not all about us.
Not only should we not tiptoe on egg-shells when it comes to the world, it’s actually bad if we do.
So get over yourselves a little bit. Ask why you’re so very scared of someone who disagrees with you about the extent of an external threat. If Iran is not a threat it will not become one because a politician shot off her mouth.
We just aren’t that important. America isn’t the end all and be all and center of creation. Iran has it’s own agendas quite apart from whatever America is going on about and will keep on with it, whatever it is.
Is it just that much fun to have someone to tear into and call a bitch? All while feeling justified for all those socially unacceptable feelings of anger and hate? How often can you really *really* wallow in that without having to feel guilty for it?

“…there are chemical and biological weapons available that are at least as deadly as nuclear ones. yet, even Saddam, who had them ,did not use them against Israel when he could have.”
Saddam only used them on his own people…
… sucks to be brown, hum?
Seriously… as an argument that Saddam didn’t use chemical weapons against Israel and that means Iran won’t use nukes on Israel… it doesn’t fly. Saddam had to worry about retaliation and by the time he was done gassing Kurds and other Arabs he was under a great deal of scrutiny by the world. But Iran has to worry about retaliation, too, if they attack Israel.
Or do they?
Would those here so upset about Palin’s remarks (and presumably the protest itself) actually agree to attack Iran if Iran nuked Israel? It wouldn’t undo the attack, it would only kill more innocent people who had nothing to do with making the decision to launch that attack.
What if Iran knows and understands that this would be the extent of your political resolve if Israel was destroyed?
Do you really think that talking NICE to them makes conflict LESS likely?

It is my firm belief that we should all stop the name calling like: Old Mac, Bimbo Palin, Moosehead, Flip flopping Mac, Liar, Dishonets, Mac is dumb, Palin’s Policy, it really is demeaning for the GOP. And for those who do not understand why Hillary had to pull out of the protest, it is simple, to be there with Sarah Palin would have made a mockery out of the event. It was designed to garner as much attention as possible and would have lead to the GOP assertion that even Hillary Clinton a Barak Obama supporter, agrees with Sarah Palin on this, (what the GOP would have billed a foreign policy issue), particular issue, giving credence to McCain’s underhanded work to get Sarah invited to the party. It would have been political. For those of you that could not figure this out, you must be one of those rednecked Republicans as Bristol’s boyfriend describes himself.

Duane S,
“would have lead to the GOP assertion that even Hillary Clinton a Barak Obama supporter, agrees with Sarah Palin on this,”
You are probably right on this one. We wouldn’t want people to think that Hillary nor Obamer agree with Sarah Palin that Ahmadinejad is a bad guy who should not be allowed into the US – since they don’t agree with her.
It would only work if Obamer could have a fund raising dinner with Ahmadinejad

I find it amusing that those who attack Sarah Palin do it via hysterical name calling, while those who are concerned about a nuclear Iran and Israel support the effort to actually mount the most effective protest.
It seems the left is tearing themselves down. What a surprise.

BAdger: to answer your question – qualified also includes “competent” or “suitable” for the job. Obama is 47 years old. He has years of experience – almost 12 as a state/federal legislator/senator. 12 years. That is not NOTHING as the McCain camp would try to make everyone believe. He studied constitutional law and has a degree in international relations. This means he not only understands this from a political perspective, but respects the constitution and will uphold it. BUT ASIDE FROM EXPERIENCE – he is also COMPETENT & SUITABLE for the job becuase his judgement and instincts are impecable. Even during this election he has begun to change the Bush administrations positions. He was right on the Iraq war being a mistake from the beginning. I know people like to point out he wasn’t in the Senate at the time – but he spoke out against it when it was considered unpatriotic by the majority to do so – he was elected at the state level. McCain tries to dimish Obama’s experience and judgement – because that’s what political campaigns do to each other. But you don’t get to be a leader of a major political party, a state legistlor, a US Senator, a leader and a person who graduated from Harvard with a degree in international relations and constitutional law without intelligence, talent and good judgement. If you don’t like his ideas on where he wants to take the country then that’s fine, but don’t try to dimish his talent, his intelligence, his accomplishments, and the good things he’s done in his 47 years.

Palin is a Yikes moment. That screeching voice, if she becomes VP they will have to issue ear plugs. Besides that, she doesn’t know what she is talking about. She should not be rattling her sabre, we are the ones who will have to pay. I don’t think McCain knows how to control her. I’d be suspicous about her husband too, cc’d on government emails? What’s all that about? What a mess this campaign is.

Hey cowgirl blues, guess who had oversight of Fannie and Freddie? Barnie Frank…
Both sides are guilty of squandering OUR money. I just happen to believe that John McCain will squander less than Barack Obama. I’m basing that on Obama’s campaign website. Prove me wrong and I may yet vote for Obama!
I am not here to fight. I just wanted to know what the Obama voters would do if John McCain wins the election. By all of the anger on this thread, I assume that they want to start a war against McCain voters.
It won’t matter to me if Barack Obama is elected (I’m independent). I just find all of the comments here to be way off mark.

Nowhere does the Constitution tell us one way or the other whether we should have private or public education, universal health care, single-payer social security or some other system for keeping people off the street.
We can debate the relative merits of different solutions to the looming crisis in our ability to pay for entitlement programs.
However, nothing in our Constitution DICTATES what solutions are acceptable or unacceptable.
We can go all out Marxist, if that’s what the electorate chooses, or we can adopt a full-blown Libertarian, laissez-faire approach.
I presented a series of arguments, which admittedly reference studies without citation, which present a certain understanding of how we might best govern this country, while also moving the country forward in light of certain current problems and future goals.
Nowhere do you present alternative solutions to these problems or address these goals.
Are you suggesting that because Public education has its problems, we should do away with it entirely?
Are you suggesting that if some people are unable to afford healthcare, that’s just their tough luck?
Are you suggesting that because Social Security is on the verge of collapse, we should just let it collapse?
You seem to be.
Obviously
1. You do not agree with my assessment of the problems we are facing as a society.
2. Even if you agree with my assessment of our problems, you disagree with what I consider to be reasonable, affordable, practicable, and pragmatic solutions.
So be it.
You have your philosophy and your view of the world, I have mine.
In my view, your “answers” to these difficulties are no answers at all.
Essentially, you are proposing we do nothing at all.
I guess that’s why we have elections – to determine which perspective will shape our choices over the next four years.
Good Luck to you.

BTW:
You ask if I think public education is better than private. That depends on the school. But a public education is certainly better than NO education at all.
I think you are mistaken about the role of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The ideal behind these institutions was to provide government backed low-interest loans to any and all home buyers – SO LONG AS THEY COULD MEET THEIR MORTGAGE PAYMENTS.
The problem underlying the current sub-prime mortgage is not that people have not been able to keep up with their low-interest mortage payments, but that many first-time home buyers were suckered into buying variable interest loans. Not the same thing AT ALL.
As to a solution to social security. What do you suggest? Privatization? In light of last weeks volatile stock market, this looks like a terrible idea. Something I always thought, but now I have proof.
Finally, you seem to have overlooked my conclusion:
In my first post I wrote:
“I think the government needs to become involved in providing health care, early education, because it is clear that private companies are not entering the gap.”
I only think the government can be useful in the above areas because PRIVATE COMPANIES are NOT addressing these problems.
If private companies were to step in, provide affordable education, including daycare and pre-school education; provide affordable healthcare, then the government would not need to become involved.
The question is what do we do since private companies are clearly NOT picking up the slack, and still the economy needs an educated, healthy workforce to draw on if we want to remain competitive in an intensely competitive global market.

Let’s look objectively:
1.The meeting has the right cause.
2.Sen.H.Clinton and Gov.S.Palin were
invited,so both parties had to be present.
3.Sen H.Clinton refused to come.
This shows again and again what is important for the democrats taking part in this election. For them their own mercantile interests weigh much more
than the right cause. They are selfish, self-centered, and not even hiding that.
4. They put pressure on organizers of the rally to dis-invite Gov.S.Palin
and this again demonstrates that for them any way even a dirty one is good enough to reach their goal.
Conclusion:
Democrats with the aforementioned traits can serve only themselves and will not benefit the American people as a whole.

m@cchiavelli…
I never said anything about abolishing social security or public education. I merely pointed out that they are both government programs that have failed miserably to meet their original intended objectives.
Also, if Fannie May and Freddie Mac weren’t an overextension of loans to those who could not afford them, then why on earth are the taxpayers bailing them out? Maybe because of bad loans to people who could not afford them?
Here’s a thought…since you and I disagree on the role of government, we should each vote who we think closest reflects our beliefs. I believe at the end of the day on November 4th John McCain will be the next president of the United States.
That is my opinion based on what I have heard from Barack Obama. He preaches change but his ideas are no better than Lyndon Johnson’s ‘great society’, tax and spend policies of the sixties. He does not have any real innovative ideas to fix the problems except to throw more money at them. My belief is that most independent voters see Barack Obama as too far to the left. I could be wrong but only time will tell. He may offer some truly innovative ideas in the debates.
BTW: I do support privatization of social security. I trust myself to invest MY money much more than I trust the government. I also support education vouchers as a means of providing parents with choices. The real irony of public education is that it hurts the poor mostly since they are the ones who are trapped in lousy schools. And for God’s sake, enough with the pre-school nonsense! I’m not buying it!

If anyone actually thinks that Iran is going to attempt nuking Israel, I think you’re off your rocker. Indeed, there’s a great amount of hostility. Indeed, if Israel had nothing to counterattack and Iran had the means, I’m sure they would have been eliminated long ago. The fact of the matter is, aside from brain-washed extremists, no one wants a nuclear war.
If Iran were to attempt nuking Israel, they would immediately counter, thus destroying both nations. Do you seriously believe the Iranian president wants that? Then the US would be dragged in, followed by Russia. And I don’t think it would really be WWIII. We would sort of need allies for something like that to occur…
And as far as the anti-Iran demonstration is concerned, it sounds like it was a political ploy by the McCain campaign to sneak her in alongside Clinton, and attempt to further snag former Clinton supporters. I’m sure Clinton saw through this garbage and that’s why she withdrew.

I think Sarah Palin meant a third Holocaust, because the New York Times reported that during WWI, 6 million Jews had died. The German’s then killed an additional 6 million making a total of 12 million Jews killed in WWI and WWII. I’ll bet Iran has already killed another 6 million already making a total of 18 million Jews killed in the last 100 years.
Oh, I almost forgot. There are two early ‘Holocaust’ tales from the Talmud. Gittin 57b. claims that four billion Jews were killed by the Romans in the city of Bethar. Gittin 58a claims that 16 million Jewish children were wrapped in scrolls and burned alive by the Romans.”

All America should be Obama hecklers.
Here is the change you want from Obama:
Obama’s own words in his speeches: I AM GOING TO TAX THE RICH AND BUSINESS. Who do you think will pay the increase in costs of the services and the businesses that Obama wants to tax? All American taxpayers will pay the added costs of services and business products that Obama wants to tax. Obama will create hidden taxes by his taxation programs. There is no free ride from the taxes that Obama wants. McCain is the man. The man is McCain.
John McCain wants to cut 700 billion dollars from the federal budget. Those 700 billion dollars go to countries that do not even like America. Do you want more taxes from Obama that tax all Americans or budget cuts from John McCain?
700 billion dollars is the figure needed to help America through the present financial crisis. Obama wants more taxes and no thoughts on budget cuts. John McCain wants budget cuts and reduction of the American tax burden. McCain is the man. The man is McCain.

Do all the liberals hide in a cave with their TV on MSNBC all day? Have any of you people heard when Ahmadinejad spews his hate towards Israel and the United States. He has admitted that they are building a nuclear bomb. And you still think he’s a nice a guy who thinks America is his friend? If you do, you are too ignorant to vote. Oh, you must have caught Obama’s speech when he said Iran is just a tiny country, what are we afraid of?
Yeah, and Al Qaeda was a tiny terrorist group that Clinton didn’t think was a threat.
McCain and Palin are not warmongers looking for a fight, but they are true Americans who aren’t going to run from one either.

good people of America, McCain and Palin are the biggest threat this country has ever seen on its territory, at a time when the world powers are shifting rapidly and in different directions, having these two make such profoundly unethical, dangerous, and most of all immoral. Some of you said that Iran supports terrorism and “Our Opposition in Iraq” , why would we have any Opposition in a country that we saved from a ruthless dictator? “we funded and supported, provided weapons to Iraq when it was in war with Iran” did you know that? I know that your lives are busy, and it is so easy to jump to dangerous conclusions given to you by unqualified sources, but have some respect for yourselves, do something on your own, research, find out why and think about it. Did you not watch the CNN special this weekend on The Next President, the world of challenges? Where reputable, intelligent democrats and republicans unanimously agreed that we have to reach out to Iran and meet with them immediately, and start talking about a solution of progress on all fronts not just nuclear power. Barack is willing to meet with them, and how about McCain? On April 19, 2007, McCain sang, “Bomb, bomb, bomb…. bomb, bomb Iran….” to the tune of the Beach Boys’ song “Barbara Ann”, town hall meeting, South Carolina. On July 8, 2008: Responding to a question about a survey that shows increased exports to Iran, mainly from cigarettes, McCain said, “Maybe that’s a way of killing them.” Poor judgment? Consider if an Iranian politician running for higher office repeatedly joked about killing Americans. And he has added an equally delusional and dangerous person to his side, Palin.
Here is a letter written to the US president by the Iranian president, published on their website, please read it, and think about it, before you make a choice you will regret forever.

If you can compare the people you want to make war against to Nazis, you’ve got a really fine product there. Step 2: Check “moral outrage” meters. Have they been fired up yet? Step 3: If the answer to the question posed in (2) is “Yes,” repeat Step 1. If no, repeat Step 1.
