Palin Goes After Obama-Ayers Connection

ABC News’ Imtiyaz Delawala reports: Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin unleashed a new attack on Sen. Barack Obama, accusing him of "palling around with terrorists" for his association with former 1960s radical William Ayers. The Obama campaign immediately denounced the attack as "shameless" and "offensive."

At a private fundraiser in Englewood, Colo., this morning, and later at a rally in Carson, Calif., this afternoon, Palin for the first time raised Obama’s connection to Ayers, one of the founding members of the Weather Underground, a ’60s radical group that took credit for bombing attacks around the country, including explosions set off at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol.

"Our opponent, though, is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough that he’s palling around with terrorists who would target their own country," Palin told supporters at a $1,000-a-plate fundraiser in Englewood. "Americans need to know this."

Palin cited a front-page article in today’s New York Times that explored the ties between Obama and Ayers. Obama had served on a charity board with Ayers in Chicago during the mid-90s, and Ayers was present at an organizing meeting in 1995 to kick off Obama’s first election campaign for the Illinois State Senate.

"There has been a lot of interest in what I read, and what I read lately well, was reading my copy of today’s New York Times and I was really interested to read about Barack’s friends from Chicago," Palin said. "OK, now I get to bring this up not to pick a fight, but it was there in the New York Times, so we’re gonna talk about it.

"And it turns out one of Barack’s earliest supporters is a man who according to the New York Times, and are they ever wrong, according to the New York Times was a domestic terrorist and part of a group of that, quote, pushed a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol," Palin continued. "Wow. These are the same guys who think patriotism is paying higher taxes. This is not a man who sees America as I see America, OK?"

The Obama campaign denounced the comments by Palin, calling them "shameless" and "offensive" in a statement released this afternoon.

"In fact, the very newspaper story Governor Palin cited in hurling her shameless attack made clear that Senator Obama is not close to Bill Ayers, much less ‘pals,’ and that he has strongly condemned the despicable acts Ayers committed 40 years ago, when Obama was eight.  What’s clear is that John McCain and Sarah Palin would rather spend their time tearing down Barack Obama than laying out a plan to build up our economy," Obama-Biden campaign spokesman Hari Sevugan said.   

Palin said at the top of her remarks that one of her staffers had encouraged her to be more aggressive, saying, "The gloves are off, the heels are on. Go to work."

"Talk about taking the gloves off, I, too, being that outsider and only being a part of this for five weeks now, I think OK we gotta get the word out," Palin said of Obama’s connection to Ayers. “This is in fairness to the electorate; we gotta start telling people what the other side represents.”

This morning’s stop in Colorado was Palin’s third visit to the Rocky Mountain state since becoming the Republican vice presidential nominee. Palin and McCain held a joint rally in Colorado Springs on Sept. 6, and Palin returned for a solo rally in Golden on Sept. 15. The McCain-Palin campaign currently trails the Obama-Biden ticket by 4 points in the latest state-wide poll in the western battleground state.

Lemme get this straight, this guy Ayers did something when Barack was 8 years old and somehow Palin thinks he was part of it? LOL
Palin and McCain should be more worried about the Republican backlash taking place in Michigan after McCain decided to give up and pull out.

f Palin is going to say this, it is now perfectly legitimate to point out that she repeatedly courted a secessionist group founded by someone who openly professed hatred of the American government, cursed our flag, and wanted to secede from the Union. Sarah’s husband, Todd Palin, was a member of this group, which continues to venerate that founder to this day, for years.

Sarah Palin is a friend to terrorists. Her husband belonged to the AIP, whose founder hated the USA and who was killed in 1992 trying to buy plastic explosives. Palin has praised the group since.
Sarah Palin, right for terrorists, wrong for america. Google Joe Vogler.

This is typical for the GOP. The issues don’t work so go with distractions. The problem here is that this attack was used by Hillary and an entire ABC moderated debate and it didn’t work.
McCain continues to tarnish what could have been a wonderful legacy.

“Needed Info” needs to put his “info” to the fact test. He/She obviously has relied on some chain email for facts instead of researching Obama’s real tax plans, either on his website, factcheck.org, or the tax policy center.
His/her statements are fraught with errors. More scare tactics being used by candidates, that don’t have “real” plans for “real” people.

So “her staff” is running McCain’s campaign. She can’t even take responsibility for her own words. Sounds oddly familiar.kinda like what we’ve been hearing for the last 8 years….Sounds like her staff spends too much time watching the View and Fox news. Maybe the Obama camp should obtain a list of everyone that contributed and/or attended every rupublican fund raiser, rally or event. This is exactly how ignorant and naive she is.It’s time Obama comes out swinging. No more Mr. Nice Guy. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

SOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS ON AMERICA
Fear is such a strange motivator, but at the same time it is a frightening and dangerous one. This country’s foundation of ideas and principles is what makes this country great and different from all other countries in the world- our Founding Fathers, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution are our inspiration and solace.
At this moment in time our nation has drifted far from the principles and vision laid out by our forefathers – individual liberty and responsibility, state’s rights, and minimization of federal government intrusion.
For years we have drifted toward a centralization of and dependency on federal government – a physical and psychological dependency that is ruining this country. History will show the turning point to be the Great Depression – a time of economic disaster. This point needs emphasis – a time of economic disaster. Does this sound familiar?
What was originally espoused as a temporary measure, with assumed good intent (the Great Deal), to help those in immediate need soon became part of the fabric of American society and for some a cultural and political way of thinking. The “new” Democrat party seized upon this moment of opportunity (ie., an economic crisis) to maintain and implement their vision of government controlled programs for American society. This changed the landscape of American culture and politics forever.
We now find ourselves at a time of economic ‘crisis’ – again, fear has been the main motivator. Therefore, it is no surprise that we looked to government to bail us out – we just passed one of the largest socialist principled laws in American history. We have come so far down the road of government dependency in our society it has created a physical and, more alarmingly, psychological mindset of dependency on the federal government for answers. There were many voices of reason on both sides of the political isle that had alternative, capitalist entrepreneurial principled solutions – American generated economic solutions – that were simply ignored.
As stated, America is in a financial ‘crisis’ never seen before since the Great Depression – so we are told. Historically, the world has made extreme and dangerous decisions at a time of economic turmoil – in fact, any rise of power of an extremist personality or a monumental conflict in world history can arguably be solely attributed to economic unrest. Whether it be fascist or communist regimes- the common theme is the implementation of a centralized governmental power resulting in dyer consequences not only for its people, but for the world. Government controlled policies on the thoughts and behavior of individuals – ie., fascism, communism, socialism and their subsequent takeover– take advantage of the vulnerability of individual human freedom in times of crisis.
America is and should remain different. In 1776, the beginnings of our nation was an experiment never before seen or experienced on the world stage. The elitists of Europe scoffed at the folksy commoners of this new country with arrogant expectations of failure. But we did not fail. We struggled and fought – from within and against outside forces – for our freedom and for our newborn country. We became unique. Rather than descend from an historical mindset of dictatorships, kings and queens as have our European friends, we now became the descendants of revolutionaries – free thinkers. This is our foundation. This is our cross to bear, our obligation forever.
Individuals innately desire freedom – freedom of thought, freedom of action, freedom of liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our Declaration of Independence guarantees the pursuit of happiness – not happiness itself. Happiness is a self achieved fulfillment, not a government directive.
At the same time, democracy as a social organization may not be a natural human tendency. Though we may espouse and desire individual freedoms we seek comfort and security and, therefore, are vulnerable to extremism in times of unrest. During such times of conflict, we gravitate to individuals who can inspire and lead. We put our trust in such leadership. It is this trust during hard times that may blind us – this is the vulnerability of human freedom and democracy.
Democracy and the maintenance of its ideals and principles is hard work– it should never be comfortable and taken for granted. Though it can be the most powerful force and inspiration in the world it is at the same time fragile and can be taken away in an instant or gradually eroded as its principles slowly fade with time. America has become lazy both intellectually and politically. We have insulated ourselves from our surroundings with our excesses and self gratification. We are selfish – whether it be with our nice cars or our expectation of federal government handouts – we have lost our way.
We are now at a crossroad, a moment in history that will change the sociopolitical future of America. Now, more than ever, is not the time to compromise the core principles laid down by our Founding Fathers.
Senator Obama has no doubt benefited politically from this present economic turmoil. We must ask ourselves – Is he the solution? Does his vision exude and support the principles and ideals laid down by our Founding Fathers?
Senator Obama will open the arms of the federal government – the likes of which we have not seen since the Great Depression (one trillion dollars in new government programs!!) – to solve our problems and lessen the burden of individual responsibility. These arms will wrap around us smothering and extinguishing the glowing remains of the ideals of the American Revolution of 1776.
The growth of the federal government and the ever increasing dependency and reliance on centralized government will further entrench the American mindset to such expectations and therefore, make it increasingly difficult to change.
If we were to hold up the ideals and vision of Senator Obama to the principles of our Founding Fathers it can only be viewed as radical and foreign. It is government control at the expense of individual freedom – the exact principles we revolted against – the belief system our ancestors fought with their blood and their lives to prevent from ever returning.
Not all battles and wars are fought with guns. It is time to stand up as individuals and demonstrate to America and the world that we are different and will remain unique. We will never fall prey to the elitists we so soundly rejected in the past. We are Americans – we are individuals who will always come together independent of any government directive or mandate to support one another and achieve the unachievable.

Everyone who has half a brain already know that this kind of nasty tactic of McCain-Palin is a LIE and has been debunked many times. But I guess if one has an evil heart, if one is unqualified to be VP and president, and whose campaign is in the toilet; then I guess it’s the only thing one can try to dig up.
The only thing that is true is: Sen. Barack Obama was a young boy – just 8 years old – when Ayers was conducting his horrible activities. Obama is not a terrorist, and he can NEVER be held responsible for the actions of Ayers. Everyone knows that Barack has condemned Ayers’ actions.
For a few years starting in 1999, Sen. Obama was on the Woods fund board with Ayers, though he no longer has a formal association with the group. The Woods Fund of Chicago board — a charitable fund / anti-poverty foundation — was founded in 1941 by a prominent lawyer and telephone company executive. It is a South Side Community Organizing Initiative, that focuses its resources on less-advantaged residents who have historically been left out of the democratic process. The foundation is committed to building a more robust community organizing infrastructure in this part of the city.
No weapon forged against you [ Sen. Barack Obama ] will prevail, and you [ Sen. Barack Obama ] will refute every tongue that accuses you [ Mrs. Michelle Obama and Sen. Barack Obama ] . This is the heritage of the servants [ Sen. Barack Obama ] of the LORD, and this is their [ Sen. Barack Obama ] vindication from me,” declares the LORD. – Isaiah 54:17
” I [ God ] will send my terror ahead of you [ Sen. Barack Obama ] and throw into confusion every nation you [ Sen. Barack Obama ] encounter. I [ God ] will make all your [ Sen. Barack Obama ] enemies turn their backs and run.” – Exodus 23:27
It’s time for the American people to get it right and NOT vote for McCain-Palin, instead vote for change. It’s time for this country to turn the page and seek a new and better future for ourselves and our children.It’s time for REAL change in Washington, it’s time to elect Barack Obama for president !
Obama-Biden are the wiser and stronger team to solve the crucial challenges we have in this nation and abroad !

My state, the state of California, is in ruin. I was born here 49 years ago, and in that time it went from the “Golden State” to a state of ruin.
As a Californian and an American citizen, it is hard for me and my fellow citizens of California to admit we are no longer what we once were.
For anyone contemplating a move to California as a result of what the federal government has done to us, don’t. It’s worse here and about to get even worse. My adivice is stay away.
I was born in 1959, and since I can remember this state has been under democratic rule and continues to be so. Yes we have had a few republican governors come through, but still the state ha been under a democratic stranglehold for at least the 49 years I have been alive and +.
So here is my point: The democrats that have molded this state, the key word is “molded”, have ruined it as a result of socialistic give aways and liberal ideology. I have lived it for 49 yaers, so be forewarned, if the US as a whole goes the ddirection of Obama and the socialist party, there will be 49 other states in the same boat as the 1 state California.
I KNOW I LIVE HERE UNDER SOCIALISTIC RULE.
I do not propose that the republican party is clean and without corruption. I do not propose that our government is clean without corruption.
What I do know is that the democratic party has ruined California, my home, my state. Just lok at the record and the legislative body that has ALWAYS been in charge.
Last point, Pelosi is a California senator who has helped to ruin my home state. I have e-mailed my senators and sate congress and they JUST DON”T GET IT.

The last time this topic came up was on Fox’s Bill O’Reilly show. Bill grilled Obama on his past associations with Wright,Ayers, Rezco and that a “dangerous pattern” was emerging. Why didn’t Barack counter this argument by saying Bill works with someone everyday whose USA born high treason activities were second only to Tim McVey: the infamous Oliver North. As for Palin, she’s resorting to dirt digging and I suppose the Dems can play that game even in the midst of this crises. The last time this country was in a banking crises, McCain was in the center of the Keating 5 scandal. While he was exonerated, and was scorned for bad judgment, it WAS in his backyard. Arizona was the epicenter of that mess.

Governor Palin is correct, that is a fact. Obama is friends with terrorist bomber William Ayers. The American people have a right to know this and the pro-Obama media should quit keeping this info from the public, and quit trying to intimidate the McCain camp from letting the public know. Also, let’s not forget Rev. Wright and convicted felon Tony Rezko. As Joe Biden and Hillary said, Obama is not ready to be President.

Vogler disappeared under suspicious circumstances in May 1993.[4] Convicted thief Manfried West confessed to having murdered Vogler the following year in what he described as a plastic explosives sale gone bad.[4] Vogler’s remains were discovered in a gravel pit east of Fairbanks in October 1994 following an anonymous tip.[4] They had been wrapped in a blue tarp secured with duct tape and were identified through fingerprint analysis.[4]

If a couple of people Obama met in passing years ago are going to matter then I say let him start breaking out old mac’s past associations. There sure is plenty to air starting with Pastor Hagee, McCain’s gambling problems…did I read somewhere $200,000 this year, the Keating Five, the never-ending lobbyists plus much much more. He had better think twice before throwing stones because he’s going to be the one to get hurt. Then there’s always the AIP for Sarah and her witchhunter priest. The possibilities are endless.

It’s about time for Barry’s serious lack of good judgement be exposed and his radical ties exposed.
Stanley Kurtz FINALLY got access to the Chicago-Annenburg files that had been “locked up” by the Obama camp in the Illinois State Library. His exhaustive research showed that Bill Ayres was NOT just a casual acquaintance. They attended many meetings together and Obama raised money to fund one of Ayres’ “Educational Funds” – that essentially schools young people in his radical beliefs!
He also has ties to other Muslim Radical and his campaign has received money from Hamas and Hezbollah.
I wish the main stream media would stop “drinking the Lool-Aid and look into this left-woing Marxist, Saul Alinsky’s befiefs,
It’s the company you keep, Barry- and between Rv GD America Wright’s 20 years of hate spen out against whites for 20 yerars, your shady deals with convicted felon, Tony Rezko – it comes down to poor judgement, reckless behavior.

Suppressing the evidence
Obama has been less than forthcoming with information that might shed light on these close associations in his past. Until quite recently, researchers have been blocked from accessing the document archives of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, now held at the University of Illinois at Chicago. This delay has provided ample time to review and quite possibly sanitize the contents. When Klonsky was identified online earlier this year, all his posts at Obama’s website were instantly deleted. Documentation concerning many aspects of Obama’s life remains unavailable, including papers from his time in college and law school, medical records, law firm clients, and files as an Illinois State Senator.
Obama’s campaign attorney has tried to suppress a TV ad that calls attention to his connection with Ayers, threatening the broadcast licenses of TV station managers and calling for the Justice Department to prosecute those who produced and financed the ad.
Throughout his life, Barack Obama has selected his mentors from the ranks of those who despise the United States. This common thread connects Hawaiian Communist Party organizer Frank Marshall Davis, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright (“God bless America? No, no… God DAMN America!”) and the former Weatherman leaders, Ayers and Dohrn.

Once again, your brazen ommission of the facts proves that ABC is in the tank for Obama. Case in point: in the 4th paragraph you state that “…Ayers was present at an organizing meeting in 1995 to kick off Obama’s first election campaign.” It is well-documented that this “coffee” took place in Ayer’s home and that Ayers personally contributed $ 200 to Obama. I can go on pointing out factual errors but what’s the point? This is just one more sickening example of your complete and utter bias for the most inexeperienced, unqualified left-wing radical ever to run for the presidency of the United States. You may have half of the country fooled but the rest of us are not idiots and have no intention of drinking your kool-aid.

Posted by: Rose Szymanski | October 4, 2008, 8:35 pm 8:35 pm

Thank you Sarah Palin for getting the ball rolling on exposing the real Obama.
A review of the publicly known highlights of the Ayers-Obama relationship suggests a twenty year pattern of connections between the two.
At the heart of this is the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, which Ayers founded and Obama and Ayers co-chaired for five years, raising and spending at least $110 million in an effort to bolster a “radical” (Ayers’ word) reform program in the Chicago Public Schools from 1994 to 2001.
The following is a short list of Obama/Ayers connections:
1. The Woods Fund financed the hiring of Obama in 1985 by the Developing Communities Project. The Woods Fund was founded by the Woods family which owned the Illinois-based Sahara Coal Company, a major supplier of coal from its mines to major Illinois power companies. Commonwealth Edison, the giant Chicago-based electric power company was headed by Thomas Ayers, father of Bill Ayers. Obama served on the board of the Woods Fund from 1993 until 2002. Bill Ayers joined the board of the Fund in 1999 and continues to serve on the board today.
2. Obama and Bernardine Dohrn, Bill Ayers wife, worked for elite law firm Sidley and Austin. After surfacing from the Weather Underground in 1980 Bernardine Dohrn, wife of Bill Ayers, pled guilty to criminal charges related to the violent Days of Rage in Chicago in 1969 and received three years probation. She later refused to testify in front of a grand jury convened to investigate a bank robbery carried out by former comrades of Dohrn’s from the Weather Underground. She served seven months in jail. Because of the criminal convictions Dohrn, who received a law degree from the University of Chicago in 1967, was refused admission to the New York bar. Nonetheless, she was hired as a legal clerk by Sidley and Austin, a major Chicago law firm, in their New York office in 1984. Howard Trienens, then managing partner of the firm, recently told the Chicago Tribune that he arranged the hiring of Dohrn as a favor to his fellow Northwestern University trustee and classmate, Tom Ayers. Tom Ayers’ firm, Commonwealth Edison, has used Sidley as outside counsel for many years. Barack Obama left Chicago in the fall of 1988 to attend Harvard Law School. In the summer after his first year at Harvard Obama became an associate in the Chicago office of Sidley and Austin.
3. Chicago left-wing lawyer and Dohrn classmate Judson Miner hires Barack Obama out of Harvard. Barack Obama returned to Harvard after his summer at Sidley and Austin in the fall of 1989. Although Obama could have returned to Sidley or perhaps clerked for the United States Supreme Court, a natural step for Law Review officers, he chose instead to work for Judson Miner, a partner in a small civil rights law firm in Chicago. Miner had been counsel to Chicago’s late black mayor, Harold Washington. Miner was also classmates with Bernardine Dohrn at the University of Chicago law school in 1967 where they were both were involved in anti-war activity.
4. Ayers is named Chairman of the Board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge founded by Bill Ayers. In early 1995 Barack Obama was named chairman of the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Ayers was named co-chair of the Challenge’s operative and strategic body, the Chicago School Reform Collaborative. Ayers and Obama work together for the next five years.
5. Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn host Obama’s state senate kick-off in their Hyde Park home. In the fall of 1995 Barack Obama began his first electoral campaign to replace State Senator Alice Palmer who was attempting to run for Congress. Palmer accompanied Obama to the Hyde Park home of Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn for an introduction of Obama to the Hyde Park left.
6.Obama advisor promotes a reparations approach to education reform; Ayers endorses it. In 2006 Professor Gloria Ladson-Billings of the University of Wisconsin proposed a new policy to tackle the problems of America’s public schools: the repayment of centuries of “education debt” that allegedly is owed to people of color as a result of slavery and discrimination. She rooted the concept in the literature supporting reparations for slavery. Bill Ayers has endorsed the idea while Obama has several times during the campaign suggested that he is for reparations in the form of increased spending on education.
7. Bill Ayers long time comrade Mike Klonsky blogs for Obama. One of Bill Ayers’ and Bernardine Dohrn’s comrades in the late 60s Students for a Democratic Society was Mike Klonsky. When Dohrn and Ayers moved in one direction toward the violent tactics of the Weather Underground, Klonsky became a committed Maoist. As leader of the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) in 1977 he travelled to Beijing and was toasted by the senior Beijing leadership. In 2008 Klonsky ran a blog on the official Obama campaign website on education policy and “social justice” teaching. When discussion of the Klonsky blog emerged in the blogosphere, it was promptly shut down by the campaign and all of the posts made by Klonsky were removed from the site.
The more you know about the Obama/Ayers connection, the more you understand the depth of the Obama/Ayers connection.

Um, from Sacramento, CA here! The main problems for our state have come from Republican-backed initiatives like Prop 13 and Arnold’s stupidity in terms of revoking part of the vehicle license fee ( the first cut off significant funds for public education and the second has lead to the budget debacle of this year). Republicans will take their services and their government subsidies, but god forbid anyone ask them to pay for it. Idiots! Duh – we do need to pay for the services that we NEED government to provide (roads, schools, bridges ….). Or are you just living in la, la land like Sarah – “oh I’m taking on wall street but getting rid of the government” … McCain just doesn’t get it and Sarah, well, Sarah just doesn’t make any sense.

Proof that being governor of a sparsely populated state can’t buy you class. Ayers was a radical in the ’60′s for goodness sake, when Obama was about 5 years old! They worked together on a CHARITY. Ayers obviously changed his ways. Obama is not responsible for the Ayers of the ’60′s, nor can he take credit for the Ayers of the ’90′s. Sarah Palin has proven herself to be a world class jerk.

As for Palin, she associates with criminals who ignore subpoenas and she abused her power in Alaska. As far as McCain, he’s an associate with Charles Keating and bilked taxpayers for a ton of money back in the day.
The Bushes and Bin Ladens are very tight. Jeb was watching the towers collapse with Bin Laden’s brother. Then the Bush in the White House flew all of the bin Ladens out of the country shortly thereafter.
So to say that Obama associates with terrorists when the guy in question did whatever he supposedly did when Obama was 8 years old (why isn’t Ayers in prison or executed if he’s a terrorist?).
Straws are being grasped at here. Palin’s a dope who will say whatever her handlers tell her to say.

When McCain agrees with a Bimbo and racist redneck like Palin saying garbage like that instead of talking about solutions on; economy, mortgage crises, healthcare, education and war it shows the end of the era for Republicans. As a white man leaving in the South I know that for red necks a bimbo like Palin with no brain is better than a color-man with Harvard education.

Up till Steve Schmidt joined McCain I thought we’d get a better leader than we’ve had regardless of who won this election. Since then I have lost respect for a man I held in high regard for many years. I still respect his sacrifice for our country but I cannot accept his tactics any longer. It is beneath him and smacks more of rabbelrousing than leadership. I expect a very nasty finish to this election and unless Obama effectively defends against the coming mud he will lose. Perhaps the Clintons could help but I don’t know……… it is such a shame since it seemed we would finally have an election rich with honest and detailed discussions of the many issues and possible solutions to our problems. Obama should have accepted some of those town-hall debates.

Sarah Palin will remain a fake candidate until she begins to meet the major press without preconditions and with intent to speak to the issues and answer any reasonable follow up questions regarding the most important subjects that concern Americans.
So until we actually get to consistently and regularly hear directly from Sarah Palin about political positions important to America, whatever Sarah Palin says matters only to those who, in a very un-American way, have closed their minds to the voices of any candidates beyond Sarah Palin and those associated with her.

It appears that the McCain camp has concluded that they can’t win this election on either the issues, their policies, the recent history of their party, their own experience or their skills. Why else are they resorting to an attempt to smear their opponent with baseless fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD).
Palin and McCain and their campaign organization know that the accusations Palin is making are false. If they are willing to try and knowingly mislead the American public about the patriotism of their opponent then what else will they try and pull on us if they get elected.
Up until this point I considered McCain an honest and honorable man and a worthy presidential candidate. I was an undecided voter.
I have not heard Obama or Biden trying to defame either MCain or Palin.
If McCain has to resort to these types of tactics to win then he has forgotten his honor and he has forgotten his pledge to run a clean campaign. McCain and Palin do not deserve my vote. This issue has helped me make my decision – and it is to not vote for Palin and McCain.

MICHELLE LAXALT,
REPUBLICAN NOT SUPPORTING PALIN
Ask yourself why Michelle Laxalt — (a Republican consultant) says she has serious doubts about supporting John McCain as long as Sarah Palin is on the ticket.
Quote from interview by Larry King.
“The concerns center around, number one, the fact that Senator McCain made this decision predicated upon, Larry, a one hour meeting with Governor Palin. And beyond that, we’re looking at the oldest potential president in our country’s history. He has had melanoma three times. So we cannot look at a vice president in the abstract.”
“In this instance, we have to look at a vice president and ask ourselves can that vice president assume the presidency from day one?”
“And I’m telling you that I have a huge difficulty with answering yes to that question when it’s posed to me, for instance, by my daughters.”

I think that the press has given Palin and family a free ride. It’s now time to start investigating Her and her husbands involvement in the Alaska Independance Party. What’s up with that?

Obama is in sore need of free voters that he has people lining up buses in Ohio and other states to carry them to the polls personally. We’re talking going to shelters etc.etc. Before pointing the finger at McCain watch how unethical Obama’s camp is being on trying to force their way on winning this election.

Ron: “…have been B.O.s closest friends for decades.”
You’re lying. Many of those people are quite well documented to have been little more than passing associates. Do you really want to set everyone digging up dirt on every guy who’s given a few hundred bucks to McCain over his 26 year career? How many murders, rapists, and other detestable felons do you want to bet meet your silly definition of being McCain’s “closest friends”?
I don’t think we need any more proof that John McCain has no good ideas, firm policy, or honorable record to campaign on. All he has is making up lies and exaggerations.

Wait a minute? Didn’t John McCain say at the beginning of this race that he was going to run a clean campaign?
But Rick Davis did say that “this campaign was not about the issues”.
Tell us how we’re going to get our jobs and homes back!
We’re tired of the 7 ½ years of your poor excuse for a president, and 12+ years of a repub congress.
Sarah Palin stated in the debate that she agreed with Cheney regarding the unbridled power of the vice president! The campaign didn’t even tell her that they were pulling out of Michigan!
Palin is nothing but a prop, and as a woman, I’m extremely insulted and disgusted!

It has now come out that David Duke hosted a fundraiser at McCain’s home to launch one of McCain’s senatorial campaigns. This occured in the mid 90′s.
In addition, he participated in a panel discussion with David Duke on race relations – a panel organized by Cindy McCain.
There is also video of McCain attending a goodbye party of a known Nazi sympathizer with Duke in attendance. Not only that, this Nazi sympathizer also funded a campaign party for McCain.
Duke also founded The Hoods Foundation and appointed McCain as president. McCain served on that board for 3 years.
In defense of his time on the board the $$ was well spent to rural albeit white America.In addition this Hoods Foundation funneled significant amounts of $$ to McCain’s church.
McCain states his relationship with Duke is no more than a passing aquaintence. “He’s a guy who lives in the neighborhood who I once in awhile see walking down the street in a white hood.” McCain’s campaign did release an earlier memo saying they were close – Mccain denies these allegations. “I never knew that was David Duke sitting next to me at those board meetings”

Palin is dead on right about this one. Do some real homework, people, before going to the polls. You Obama supporters are about to vote on a man who was mentored by the late communist Frank Marshall Davis whom Obama writes about in his book Dreams From My Father. Obama has you so fooled that it is sickening. Hitler did this to Germany but most of you are too young to remember or don’t know your history. Don’t throw away democracy in America. You your children and their children will suffer by your vote for Obama. He will turn our country into a nation run by the government which will control every thing in your lives. Do some very intense research on Obama; do this for America.

OurCountry, the story I heard is that in Ohio you can register and vote the same day. So they are shipping in homeless people, setting them up in shelters as a ‘place of residence’, getting them registered then taking them to vote. After that they are giving them a bus ticket home, presumably to other states. How anyone can track this is beyond me.

We cannot be surprised that Palin would stoop to this level of mud. Her ineptitude qualifies her for little else of benefit to the McCain camp. Makes sense. She is good at public speaking-give her dirt to read and she monkies the script. The saddest part about all this is that the McCain of year’s past would never have tolerated this sort of campaign, nor would he have hid behind Palin. I guess there are things that can be more damaging than torture-the loss of dignity and the inability to recognize that one’s ethics are not what they once were.

While the Ayers connection is one that should be studied deeper by voters, real concern should erupt over charges that Obama is not a natural born citizen as required by the Constitution to be President.
From what I have read, the main questions revolve around the content of the birth certificate. One article says that Obama’s birth certificate is being hidden because his middle name is Mohammed. According to missionary Loren Davis and his wife Celeste, while working in Kenya they were told that Obama’s middle name was Mohammed. According to his birth certificate, however, Obama’s middle name is “Hussein.”
Another story says Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, did not name him after his father, but instead named him Barry. Most of Obama’s childhood friends called him Barry, and he did not begin calling himself Barack until sometime in 1980. Despite this possible nickname, Obama’s first name is listed on his birth certificate as “Barack.”
Another story questions the place of his birth. The writer says that Barack Obama was born in Kenya, and may not legally be a natural-born citizen.
Interesting suggestions, but I will have to investigate more before deciding.
And, save it, Obama bloggers. Websites such as “fact check” and “snopes” have no more authority on information than any other website.

Personally I am happy McWar and Snappy the Pitbull, and their blogger trolls, are engaging in these tactics.
The sillier this gets, the more independents and intellectually honest Repubs come to their senses and see the Bush/Cheney/Rove/McCain machine for what it is. That translates to even stronger grassroots financing and organization, both for this campaign and in the future. It is fitting that the neocons, by their own unsavory conduct, are helping ensure their long term marginalization.

Nor have I seen or heard anything from the dem or rep headquarters or on the news or in the papers about buses.But that’s a really good idea. It might be raining or snowing on election day. And some people don’t like to drive when the weather’s bad. It could get rather expensive though. Seeing as most of the state is rural and the nearest shelter that I know of is 85 miles away from me.Though I do live near the railroad, maybe I could round up a hobo or two. Of course I’ll have to ask anyone boarding the bus who they are voting for. I’m sure they’ll tell me the truth.

Then why would he send Sara out to do the same thing to Mr Obama. How soon we forget. If I remember right it was some time before Mccain and Bush were able to make up and work together because of the crap they had pulled on Mccain. So now he does the same nasty stuff on his rival.

Some buy big car, houses and T.V. and all kinds of junk and all in credit. For goodness stake if you don’t have the money don’t buy it. Wait until you do have the money. America is a nation of debt and many living on walfare. Obama is a liberal who also like to spend, spend and spend with none of his money, of course. While on the other hand John McCain is trying to teach America how to make tough choices and how to balance your money and life.

Boy, 3 times in 10 years makes them close friends. But again this is from a woman who believes she is an expert on Russia because of Alaska’s proximity to it.

Palin is certainly full of herself. I do believe that Troopergate is going “rear its head” again and I don’t think she’s going to like what happens. This woman thinks she can walk all over anybody she wants to.
McCain’s people are messing with the Alaskan state government; it’s now going to be decided by the Alaska Supreme Court whether the investigation can continue, which of course it WILL, but in order to shut the McCain camp UP once and for all, it needs to be decided.
Palin is nothing but a lying, narcissistic power-hungry hypocrite. The more she attacks, the more people become disgusted. She is preaching to her own ignorant choir at this point. Sane people everywhere are turning away from this Rovian-style campaigning in DROVES.

McCain: The Most Reprehensible Of The Keating Five
The story of “the Keating Five” has become a scandal rivaling Teapot Dome and Watergate
By Tom Fitzpatrick
You’re John McCain, a fallen hero who wanted to become president so desperately that you sold yourself to Charlie Keating, the wealthy con man who bears such an incredible resemblance to The Joker.
Obviously, Keating thought you could make it to the White House, too.
He poured $112,000 into your political campaigns. He became your friend. He threw fund raisers in your honor. He even made a sweet shopping-center investment deal for your wife, Cindy. Your father-in-law, Jim Hensley, was cut in on the deal, too.
Nothing was too good for you. Why not? Keating saw you as a prime investment that would pay off in the future.
So he flew you and your family around the country in his private jets. Time after time, he put you up for serene, private vacations at his vast, palatial spa in the Bahamas. All of this was so grand. You were protected from what Thomas Hardy refers to as “the madding crowd.” It was almost as though you were already staying at a presidential retreat.
Like the old song, that now seems “Long ago and far away.” Since Keating’s collapse, you find yourself doing obscene things to save yourself from the Senate Ethics Committee’s investigation. As a matter of course, you engage in backbiting behavior that will turn you into an outcast in the Senate if you do survive.
They say that if you put five lobsters into a pot and give them a chance to escape, none will be able to do so before you light the fire.
And, of course, that’s the way it is with the Keating Five. You are all battling to save your own hides. So you, McCain, leak to reporters about who did Keating’s bidding in pressuring federal regulators to change the rules for Lincoln Savings and Loan.
Not only was McCain a crook, he was also a rat.

Posted by: jefflz | October 4, 2008, 9:29 pm 9:29 pm

I agree SF. Fresh of her butt kicking of Joe Gaffe Machine Biden, Palin is full of confidence. I’d like to see Katie, I’m losing my job this summer because of low ratings, Couric interview her now. I’d dare Couric to ask her some stupid question about what newpapers she reads or what Supreme Court cases she disagrees with. Can you say “bitch slap”?
I love the liberal losers who think Obama’s age at the time of the weathermen bombings is somehow not relevant. I guess if Hitler were miraculously still alive and friends with Obama, B.O. would be saying “hey, that was before I was even born.”
I’d like to ask all of you Obama supporters one thing. Would anyone hold a “meet the candidate” coffee in their home if they were not at least friends with the candidate?
I love Ayer’s comment that some things cannot be told. That’s probably true because there is no statute of limitations on murder.
I don’t expect anyone who currently supports Obama to care about this. If you don’t care that he is no record of accomplishment in the IL state senate or the U.S. Senate, you’re not going to care if he hangs out with the founders of a group that has killed people or a Chicago slumlord.
I’m sure the fact that all of our enemies are pulling for Obama doesn’t bother you either.
All this is what I’d expect from an idiotic group that is fine with killing innocent unborn babies but against the death penalty for convicted killers.
There is an old saying by Kipling. “What you do when you don’t have to, will decide where you will be when you can no longer do anything about it.” Obama could have exercised better judgment at the start of his political career by shunning the Ayers and Rezcos of the world, but he did not. He was willing to make friends with anyone who had the money or connections to expedite his climb to the top. Now he’s going to pay the price for it.

Anyone who believes Obama has met with Ayers 3 times in his life or whatever it is he claims, wants to believe a lie. Open eyes very wide, listen, read… not to Obama, but to actual history and records. Who cares if Obama was 8 when the guy bombed something? Would you associate with him today for any reason? Hell no! But you think it’s okay for a presidential candidate to? If it were McCain, you Dems would be all over it like flies on molasses.

Cag, you need to refer to my post for the length of the Obama/Ayers connection.
Or, you can google “Obama Ayers connection” and read for a few days. The connection is deep.
The Obama/Ayers connection spans at least 20 years and probably closer to 23 during which time the men worked closely together on issues such as reparations for slavery (another bailout Obama would support).
The supposed 1995 meeting was a scheduled public event to give the impression that Obama and Ayers were meeting for the first time. In fact, they had been associated for about ten years prior.

Posted by: rodney | October 4, 2008, 9:38 pm 9:38 pm

She needs to check her facts. Obama met Ayers at a school reform project in 1995, saw him again at a political event and then ran into him on the street in the neighborhood where they both live in 2005. Boy, 3 times in 10 years makes them close friends. But again this is from a woman who believes she is an expert on Russia because of Alaska’s proximity to it. What is so sad is that she claims to be a Christian. Perhaps Pastor Muthee hasn’t cast out all those witches yet.
—————————————————————————–You need to check yours:
Next, let’s examine Obama’s claim that his connection to Ayers and Dohrn is “tenuous” and “phony.” Is it phony that Obama’s political coming-out party in the mid-1990s was hosted by Ayers and Dohrn? What about the panel discussions in which Ayers and Obama both took part—that were organized by Michelle Obama? Tenuous? I suppose the goodbye party for prominent Israel basher and Arafat apologist Rashid Khalidi, attended by Obama, Ayers and Dohrn, is also unworthy of discussion. That Khalidi himself hosted a fundraiser for Obama’s first Congressional campaign must be completely irrelevant, too.
Then there’s the pesky fact that Obama and Ayers served together on the board of the Woods Fund for three years—and continued to do so even after Ayers was quoted in the New York Times fondly recalling his days as a bomber, and despairing that he hadn’t “done more.” (This quote, the Obama fact sheet reminds us, comes from an interview that just happened to be published on 9/11—Ayers had made the incendiary remarks earlier. I don’t know about you, but that makes me feel a lot better). The funds Obama and Ayers helped control at the Woods Foundation funneled thousands of dollars into both Khalidi’s organization and the now-infamous Trinity United Church of Christ. Irrelevant, phony distractions? So what if the Obama campaign’s top strategist concedes that the Senator’s relationship with the terrorist is “friendly”? I apologize for even devoting this much attention to such tenuous and unimportant information.
Obama’s “fact” sheet then brings us the crucial bulletin that all charges against Ayers were dropped, and that he spent no time in jail. Absolutely true. Except a minor detail was omitted: Ayers openly admits he is “guilty as sin” but “free as a bird.” Charges were dropped because federal authorities overstepped their legal bounds in pursuing the Weathermen, not because the charges were unfounded. Perhaps this distinction was too nuanced for a man who found it appropriate to compare his racist pastor to his own grandmother, and an unrepentant terrorist to a respected United States Senator. The Obama campaign also curiously chose not to “fact check” Bernadine Dohrn’s criminal record, which includes a seven-month stint in jail for refusing to cooperate with a murder investigation.
Finally, and maybe most preposterously, the document pronounces Ayers and Dohrn to be “respectable” members of the “mainstream” community. After all, it has been seven years or so since Ayers said he didn’t regret setting bombs. That’s ancient history. Today, these folks are pillars of the level-headed, mainstream Chicago community. Enter the audio.
I happened upon this content as I conducted some basic research into Ayers and Dohrn for a special report my boss, Sandy Rios, was planning to run on her daily radio program in Chicago. The former terrorists both gave speeches at a reunion of aging radicals in November of 2007, and the audio is available on the web for anyone with a computer to hear. Considering that The Sandy Rios Show is a relatively small operation without a small army of researchers at our disposal, I initially assumed that the intrepid journalists that populate our mainstream media had beaten us to the punch on this story. They hadn’t. The audio linked above clearly demonstrates that the terrorist tandem is neither respectable nor mainstream by any reasonable definition.
Dohrn refers to America as “the beast” and “the monster” while rambling on about the United States’ obsession with empire and our white supremacist way of life. She says she believes the US government to be the greatest purveyor of violence in the world. Ayers, not to be outdone, cheers an ongoing “spirit of rebellion…and resistance.” He favorably quotes Mao Zedong’s premier, Zhou Enlai. He calls contemporary America a place of “great stress, and oppression, and authoritarianism,” and bemoans “a kind of rising incipient American form of fascism.” (Jonah Goldberg, call your office). Does Barack Obama expect Americans to believe these deranged rantings represent anything close to mainstream commentary?
As more and more facts about Obama’s relationship with Ayers and Dohrn emerge, expect the Obamites to intensify their insistence that such matters are “distractions,” “old politics,” or—as Andrew Sullivan has already labeled this issue—part of the right wing “freakshow.” With all due respect, I’m not sure “freakshow” is the most effective pejorative to hurl at those being critical of two unrepentant anti-American terrorists. As the Obama campaign continues in its efforts to kill this story, they’d be well served to avoid issuing any more “fact” sheets riddled with half-truths, lies of omission, and falsifiable claims.
Might I suggest a high-profile speech from Obama to open up a “national dialogue” on the roots of domestic terrorism?
tick,tick,tick……

Obama and Ayers Pushed Radicalism On Schools (Media Yawns)
“Mr. Ayers is the founder of the “small schools” movement (heavily funded by CAC), in which individual schools built around specific political themes push students to “confront issues of inequity, war, and violence.” He believes teacher education programs should serve as “sites of resistance” to an oppressive system. (His teacher-training programs were also CAC funded.) The point, says Mr. Ayers in his “Teaching Toward Freedom,” is to “teach against oppression,” against America’s history of evil and racism, thereby forcing social transformation.
The Obama campaign has cried foul when Bill Ayers comes up, claiming “guilt by association.” Yet the issue here isn’t guilt by association; it’s guilt by participation. As CAC chairman, Mr. Obama was lending moral and financial support to Mr. Ayers and his radical circle. That is a story even if Mr. Ayers had never planted a single bomb 40 years ago.”

I read the comments from both sides. There is obvious hatred from both sides. Just remember, three of these candidates have received large amounts of money from Freddie, Fannie, and Oil Cos… The source today of our problems is not only bribery in Washington of all parties, but a disrespect for how people really live.
One more thing. If you believe in more government, higher taxes to use for social programs vote Democrat. There is nothing wrong with that if this what you feel is right. If you want less government, althought the Republicans have not done a good job at this for the last dozen years, and you want lower taxes to spend the money how you see fit vote Republican.

Subject: Skeleton’s in the closet…
Finally, Obama’s character may get vetted. Associations matter,and when there is a long consistant pattern of him associating with american hating, convicted thugs, radical terriorist,and voter fraud groups, it begs for investigation.
Who’s on the list?
1.Bill Ayers-terriorits, bombed USA in the 60′s;Co-executive board member w/ Obama, held ‘announcement party’ for Obama’s senate race.
2.Tony Rezko-Convict and shaddy real estate dealer. Sold Obama land below value, in exchange for $millions of state funds
3. Rev. Jeremy Wright-Obama’s Pastor for 20 years, USA white and gov’t hater, teaches black liberation theology, Obama’s titled boook ‘Audacity of Hope’ was from a Wright sermon. He married Obama & Michelle, baptized their children
4.ACORN-voter reg. fraud, ex-Obama employer, relationship with Fannie/Freddie bad loans
5.Franklin Raines-ex CEO Fannie, adv. for Obama, walked away with $90M, proven to cook books at Fannie
6. Jim Johnson-ex CEO Fannie, Chair of Obama VP search team, walked away $20M
7.Mayor Dailey-Chicago Mayor convicted of ties to Chicago Mob, political mentor for Obama
8.Ahmadinejab-USA hating Iran’s President soon to be friend of Obama
9.Louis Farrakhan-bigot and anti-semitic,Obama worked with on Million-Man-March. Obama has praised Farrakhan in his books, and given speech’s with him.
10.Saul Alinky- Auth/Mentor for Obama, wrote ‘Rules for Radicals’, Obama followed radical doctrine while community organizer
11.Father PFleger-Radical Chicago Priest, kicked out of diocese, who gave speech on hating whites, and calling Hillary Clinton a ‘white entitlist’, while giving speech at Obama and Rev. Wright’s church
12.Rashid Khalidi-The co-founder of the Arab group, Columbia Univ. prof, is a harsh critic of Israel, worked on behalf of the PLO a terror group.Khalidi held a fundraiser in 2000 for Obama’s run for U.S. Hs. of Represt.

Glad to see someone from the McCain campaign finally speaking out on the Ayers connection. Hopefully they will also educate the democrats about the other terrorists ties like Hatem El-Hady. He was the chairman of the Islamic foundation “Kindhearts” which was shut down by the U.S. Tresury Dept in 2006 and their assets were frozen. He is also on the FBI watchlist for funneling money to Hamas.
He had a dedication page to Obama on Obama’s official website until April 2008 when his story got out, it suddenly vanished. He also has raised hundreds of thousands for Obama’s campaign.
Obama has also been endorsed by Hezbollah, Hamas, FARC and of course Louis Farakhan.

the post said, “Ayers was present at an organizing meeting in 1995 to kick off Obama’s first election campaign for the Illinois State Senate.”
If you call hosting the kick-off in your own living room being present, then I guess you were truthful.
Fact is, Obama has a long history of mentoring from anti-American types, and this is only one of many. Why would it grieve so many people who support him if they didn’t want it known?
Because they don’t want it known. Obama can only win if no one really knows him and what he really stands for. The facts are that he has been on the take with Fannie Mae, was mentored since high school by a communist, has yet to do one really meaningful thing, (e.g., actually run something), and he’ll drive the rest of what remains of our manufacturing overseas with added taxation.
The man just doesn’t know how to do much except read a mean speacch written by someone else.

Obama’s Foul Weather Friends
The man Ayers and his friends chose as CAC’s first board chairman was a little-known 33-year old associate at a small Chicago law firm, Barack Obama. Ayers himself co-chaired CAC’s other operational arm, the “Collaborative.” Ayers and Obama held their respective positions for more than four years, working closely together during that time. They also served together on the board of the Woods Fund of Chicago for three years.
Their association extended beyond working hours. In 1995, Obama launched his first political campaign, for the Illinois State Senate, at Ayers and Dohrn’s home in Hyde Park. In 1997, Obama endorsed Ayers’ book on juvenile justice, and Michelle Obama hosted a panel discussion of the book in which Ayers and Barack Obama participated.
However, when asked to describe their relationship during the Philadelphia primary debate last April, Barack Obama recalled Ayers merely as “a guy who lives in my neighborhood.”

Obama has been less than forthcoming with information that might shed light on these close associations in his past. Until quite recently, researchers have been blocked from accessing the document archives of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, now held at the University of Illinois at Chicago. This delay has provided ample time to review and quite possibly sanitize the contents. When Klonsky was identified online earlier this year, all his posts at Obama’s website were instantly deleted. Documentation concerning many aspects of Obama’s life remains unavailable, including papers from his time in college and law school, medical records, law firm clients, and files as an Illinois State Senator.
Obama’s campaign attorney has tried to suppress a TV ad that calls attention to his connection with Ayers, threatening the broadcast licenses of TV station managers and calling for the Justice Department to prosecute those who produced and financed the ad.
Throughout his life, Barack Obama has selected his mentors from the ranks of those who despise the United States. This common thread connects Hawaiian Communist Party organizer Frank Marshall Davis, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright (“God bless America? No, no… God D*MN America!”) and the former Weatherman leaders, Ayers and Dohrn.
Did Ayers, Dohrn and their fellow domestic terrorists ever give up their revolutionary goal of destroying the “imperialist” America they hate? Or have they simply substituted new tools for the bombs and violence that were once the measure of their commitment?

Mr. Incredible wrote: “She refuses to cooperate with Rezkobamba supporters who wanna use the process to get her. She has suggested an independent body to investigate.”
Is it mandatory that McCain supporters be ignorant morons? The investigation in question was underway well before she was tapped for VP and are being carried out by the Alaska legislature. Claiming this is all about Obama is not only ignorant, it’s crazy. To believe this is about Obama you must also believe that Obama supporters knew she would be McCains pick months in advance.

i thought it was absolutely pathetic for biden to keep exploiting the death of his wife and daughter to win parent points at the debate with his phony tears. i remember when hillary teared up during the primary obama followers were brutal in attacking her. but when the little pinko draft dodger does it, it goes unnoticed.

What goes around tends to come around & for Gov. Palin- her personal-professional connections are more impactful also to the extreme the McCain Camp has gone to sweep under a polar bear rug. If there was validity to her words-it would have been brought up early in the campaign- but notice the BUSH tactic of FEAR mongering. Just vomit anything out- try to get it to stick to scare the American people- They assume are stupid especially after electing BUSH for two terms. It will backfire- Sen. McCain & Gov. Palin will find their HATE tactics-RACIAL slurs won’t breathe life back into a lower than low campaign. Sen. Obama is NOT perfect but his Civil Rights background is worth more to help the Middle Class then an arrogant Mayor-Governor who can’t answer elementary school questions from Katie Couric teamed with a self-proclaimed Maverick-Deregulator now born again pretending to be for Regulation. They are getting desperate & don’t care about the facts- they will do anything to win & continue to speak of Ethics reform- CHANGE but want to infect the White House with their negativity evading the *real* issues- both carry on BUSH politics as usual. Look at their advisors- BUSH association- even Sen. McCain said on *many* occasions- If You put lipstick on a pig- it’s still a pig & boasted how he always tells “100% absolute truth”…

what are you talking about
do you know the details of mccain adn the S& L and how it was the same deregulation crowd he was flying with on jetc and vacationing and exchanging money and jobs with…
that lost us a trillion then
and just lost us a trillion again
do you know the details of the Committtee for Liberation of Iraq
these are real things
with facts and reprimands to back them up
and Obama has been disected…displayed…challenged …trashed…questioned
and answered honorably on all of these things over this entire past year
and everyone knows it
meanwhile Mccain picks a candidate he had no idea that she was a moron…and no0w they hide her and refuse to give emails…testify on “executive priiviledge”
ugh

You McCain people are doomed. Sorry, but Obama has been thoroughly vetted for over two years. There is nothing NEW to smear him with, so they come up with half-baked innuendo. This is old, old, old news. Almost as old as McCain himself.
McCain has some very bad criminal friends as well. Sarah’s husband is a secessionist.
Sarah happens to be in the midst of an ethics investigation AS WE SPEAK. You can’t say that about Obama. PERIOD.
What do you have to say about THAT, all you ignorant Palinites? HUH? What about that ethics investigation in Alaska that McCain’s people are trying so desperately to suppress? HUH? Oh, forgot about THAT, did you?? Maybe you should direct your research to your own backyard.

“…she needs to check her facts….”
Three times???
Obama launched his initial Illinois State Senate campaign from Ayers’ living room…where is that meeting on your list???
Obama and Ayers together drafted the Articles of Incorporation for the Annenberg Challenge. With Obama at the head of the Annenberg Challenge, which was supposedly to help Chicago schools and schoolchildren, millions of grant dollars were funneled to radical, leftist organizations in Chicago at the behest of Ayers. Schools were forced to partner with these leftist groups in order to receive funding through the Challenge.
For those of you who comfort yourselves by saying Ayers’ questionable activities were 40 years ago, Ayers very recently was recorded trampling an American flag, and stated following the 9/11 attacks that he regretted his group didn’t do more damage to America in the ’60s.
Why would anyone with presidential aspirations launch their political career from the home of someone such as this?

he divorced his disfigured wife to marry the Partis Hilton of her day and live in her 12 houses that she got from her Daddy

You either care about Ayers are you don’t. Nothing new here, this has been around for awhile. But for Palin to bring it up means she and McCain are scared. They aren’t talking about the issues because they can’t win on that. So they are going negative which could backfire on them. They are taking a hugh risk.

“Ultimately, the choice before the American people is the choice between two visions: on the one hand, the policies of limited government, economic growth, a strong defense, and a firm foreign policy; and on the other hand, policies of tax and spend, economic stagnation, international weakness and accommodation, and always, always, from them, ‘Blame America first.’ It’s the choice between the policies of liberalism or the policies of America’s political mainstream.”

The NYTimes digs into the claims about an Ayers/ Obama connection and finds that the two men have a mild working arrangement: They are NOT friends, and moreover the “Ayers launched Obama’s campaign” rumor is FICTION.
NYT conclusion? Ayers and Obama are not pals, but as educators in Chicago they naturally had some contact.
So now Palin, dim bulb that she is, misreads the article and excitedly announces that the NYTimes has confirmed the lies and smears that Repubs have been spreading. Oh Boy!
Except she’s 180 degrees wrong.
Half the commenters here don’t even get the point: A journalistic investigation has DISPROVED these smears. So stop posting them as “proof” of Sarah’s claim.

An Acorn Falls from the Tree
ACORN has often been in the news since 2004. Officially, they work to register voters and support housing. In reality, everyone in public life knows that they are hardcore supporters for the Democratic Party, and employ bare-knuckle tactics. Their organization is plagued by repeated investigations of voter fraud and other crimes.
In Ohio, where as secretary of state I oversaw elections for eight years, ACORN has been busy. One ACORN man in Reynoldsburg was indicted on two felony counts of voter fraud, and another was indicted in Columbus. Other such problems surfaced in Cuyahoga County, where criminal investigations are ongoing.
It’s not just Ohio. ACORN personnel are facing criminal charges in over a dozen states. In Washington State, for example, seven ACORN leaders had felony charges filed against them for voter fraud.
And there’s an unexpected twist. One of the organizations accused of pushing banks into making many of the unwise loans at the heart of the current crisis is … ACORN. Now that’s ironic. An organization that possibly contributed to our current financial profits is now being considered to make money off of it. And by “money,” I’m referring to your tax money.
Twice already this year Congress has funneled money to ACORN. Some report that February’s economic stimulus included funds for ACORN, as did the bill to help people struggling with mortgages passed this April.

Voter fraud is in one sense the worst crime against democracy. The sole means of democratically choosing leaders is through voting. Every voter gets an equal vote. Every citizen who is a law-abiding adult has an equal voice in who will govern us. Our vote is sacred. Those engaging in voter fraud are in one sense no different than who intimidated voters at the polls in years past. Voter fraud may not be attended by the suffering that accompanied the beatings and water hoses of those days, but the assault on democracy is no less real.
ACORN is a discredited organization, and far too many of its leaders and workers have been prosecuted for felonies against democracy. The idea that a single dime of taxpayer money would ever go to such a group is an outrage.
And Mr. Obama needs to explain his involvement with them.

S Adams :”Obama sat in Rev Wrights church for 20 yrs listening to racist filth and anti american sentiments…”
Grow up. Look, here’s what Wright said. If you can transform this into racism or hating America then you obviouslu just think anyone who disagrees with you is a racist who hates America.
“I heard Ambassador Peck on an interview yesterday did anybody else see or hear him? He was on FOX News, this is a white man, and he was upsetting the FOX News commentators to no end, he pointed out, a white man, an ambassador, he pointed out that what Malcolm X said when he was silenced by Elijah Mohammad was in fact true, he said Americas chickens, are coming home to roost.”
“We took this country by terror away from the Sioux, the Apache, Arikara, the Comanche, the Arapaho, the Navajo. Terrorism.
“We took Africans away from their country to build our way of ease and kept them enslaved and living in fear. Terrorism.
“We bombed Grenada and killed innocent civilians, babies, non-military personnel.
“We bombed the black civilian community of Panama with stealth bombers and killed unarmed teenage and toddlers, pregnant mothers and hard working fathers.
“We bombed Qaddafi’s home, and killed his child. Blessed are they who bash your children’s head against the rock.
“We bombed Iraq. We killed unarmed civilians trying to make a living. We bombed a plant in Sudan to pay back for the attack on our embassy, killed hundreds of hard working people, mothers and fathers who left home to go that day not knowing that they’d never get back home.
“We bombed Hiroshima. We bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon and we never batted an eye.
“Kids playing in the playground. Mothers picking up children after school. Civilians, not soldiers, people just trying to make it day by day.
“We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff that we have done overseas is now brought right back into our own front yards. America’s chickens are coming home to roost.
“Violence begets violence. Hatred begets hatred. And terrorism begets terrorism. A white ambassador said that y’all, not a black militant. Not a reverend who preaches about racism. An ambassador whose eyes are wide open and who is trying to get us to wake up and move away from this dangerous precipice upon which we are now poised. The ambassador said the people we have wounded don’t have the military capability we have. But they do have individuals who are willing to die and take thousands with them. And we need to come to grips with that.”
Agree or disagree, but stop misrepresenting what he said.

Outside perspective: In Germany we had, from 1998 to 2005, a government full of politicians who not only talked to homegrown left wing radicals in the 60′s, but supported some of them actively by, for example, hiding them from the police force. Our foreign affairs minister, Joschka Fischer, the guy who had the balls to confront Rumsfeld, even beat and hurt officers back then. But 30 years later all of them did an excellent job in office. Unemployment is half now from what it was before. So what’s the big deal then with Obama knowing somebody, distantly, who meant trouble a long time ago? I wonder what dubious friends McCain has to offer. The world comes in shades of grey.

Its so obvious Palin is trying to swing the truth again. Why then 8 years old Obama is being made liable to an acquaintance action? The truth is the terrorist are pro McCain/Palin. Since the good old senator is just six steps away from under six feet, and Palin would succeed him, the terrorist will win hands down, sweet!

Posted by: truemccoy | October 4, 2008, 10:28 pm 10:28 pm

All of you liberals have shown me the light! How could I possibly have wanted to vote for McCain/Palin? Obama really is the one! He will bring peace to our nation by opening up those pesky borders and letting the terrorist just live here. We could all use some culture right? And all those hispanics who keep sneaking across the border? Let them in they deserve the same welfare and social security benefits as U.S. citizens. And you know what, with Obama, I don’t have to work, I’ll just sell my home, live in the projects and live off the government like everyone else. Why should I work just to give my earnings to lazy losers? If you can’t beat em, join em. And the Qaran? LOVE IT. Want to read it everyday. Hey, maybe my terrorist neighbors who will be teaching me how they make bio-terror weapons will have a Qaran reading group! I hear the burka is all the rage in Saudi Arabia and Iran, too. And since Ayers will be the new secretary of education, my kids will be indoctinated just like the children in the Obama video. This just sounds like Utopia, with Obama’s presidential seal replacing that old American flag. What a beautiful sight. And finally we will be able to get rid of all those stupid nuclear bombs! Who needs them anyway, we will be appeasing our enemies anyway and once we give into what they want they’ll just collect dust. This will be the change we’ve been hoping for in the new U.S.A-United Socialist of America. Thank you Obama supporters for opening up my eyes to the wonderful country we will have.

Wright, whose church he attended for over 20 years, is an America-hating racist ACORN, an organization that he served as attorney and trainer for, has been tied to voter fraud in 13 states, and Tony Rezko who is now under indictment for soliciting kickbacks in questionable real estate deals.

Also re: California – You’re going to blame the speculative buying and low interest rates that led to this housing bubble on the democrats? Seriously, don’t discuss economics with party politics in mind. Both sides have made mistakes. The Fed Reserve has made the biggest of them.

checks and balances – sorry, I’ll make my complaints to our REPUBLICAN governor thank you. Yeah, I own a house (I bought at 39 which was the first time I could afford it). And I’m living down the street from a property that some fatcat landlord just converted into a duplex and is paying 1970′s level taxes because he lived there for 2 months at some point. Yep that fair – that’r republicans for you – the rich landlords get tax breaks! Gotta love it. He can afford a rental property but he pays lower taxes than me – great policy there.
I can’t believe that you republicans are trying to blame our fiscal crisis on PAST democratic administration. It is the height of neocon delusion. I bet you voted for GW twice didn’t you?!!
Sorry, but at least democrats are adult enough to realize that we do need to pay for some government services. Personally, I’d rather do that than have our schools continue to go downhill (and I don’t even have children). BTW – CA now ranks 39th for pproperty taxes – that’s commercial and home – oh rah, rah, that’s so great – but all it comes down to is the rich accumulating more weath and land. And our school are probably something like 49th in the nation. Prop 13 wasn’t for the average homeowner – it was another business give away that you Republicans love.

A relationship in the making:
“In 1995 Ayers — whose stated educational objective is to “teach against oppression” as embodied in “America’s history of evil and racism, thereby forcing social transformation” — founded a “school reform organization” called the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC). He appointed Obama as the group’s first chairman.
When National Review Online writer Stanley Kurtz in 2008 reviewed the CAC archives at the Richard J. Daley Library at the University of Illinois, he found that Ayers had been one of five members of a working group that assembled the initial CAC board which hired Obama.
“Ayers founded CAC and was its guiding spirit,” Kurtz wrote. “No one would have been appointed the CAC chairman without his approval.” According to Kurtz, the CAC archives show that Obama and Ayers worked as a team to advance the foundation’s agenda — with Obama responsible for fiscal matters while Ayers focused on shaping educational policy. The archived documents further reveal that Ayers served as an ex-officio member of the board that Obama chaired through CAC’s first year; that Ayers served with Obama on the CAC governance committee; and that Ayers worked with Obama to write CAC’s bylaws.
A September 2008 WorldNetDaily report offers still more details: “Ayers made presentations to board meetings chaired by Obama. Ayers also spoke for the Chicago School Reform Collaborative before Obama’s board, while Obama periodically spoke for the board at meetings of the collaborative … According to the documents, the CAC granted money to far-leftist causes, such as the radical Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, which …has done work on behalf of Obama’s presidential campaign.”
WorldNetDaily reports further that “while Obama chaired the board of the CAC, more than $600,000 was granted to an organization founded by Ayers and run by Mike Klonsky, a former top communist activist. Klonsky was leader of the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party, which was effectively recognized by China as the all-but-official U.S. Maoist party.”
In 1999 Ayers joined the Woods Fund of Chicago, where he served as a director alongside Barack Obama until the latter left the Woods board in December 2002. Ayers went on to become Woods’ Chairman of the Board. In 2002 the Woods Fund made a grant to Northwestern University Law School’s Children and Family Justice Center, where Ayers’ wife, Bernardine Dohrn, was employed.”

NY Times – Obama and ’60s Terrorist Bomber: Willam C. Ayers, Weather Underground terrorist and now an “educator” at the University of Chicago, has been a longtime friend of Sen. Obama. Obama has described him as just somebody that lives in the neighborhood. It’s a lie. I know it’s a harsh word to use, but they’re close friends. They are associates. Obama’s career was launched in Ayer’s house!
This guy was one of Obama’s mentors, taught him the ins and outs of radicalism as authored by separatist Saul Alinsky. The relationship between Ayers and Obama is much deeper and longer than Obama admits. Read the NY Times report … [Oct. 3, 2008].

Subject: Skeleton’s in the closet…
Finally, Obama’s character may get vetted. Associations matter,and when there is a long consistant pattern of him associating with american hating, convicted thugs, radical terriorist,and voter fraud groups, it begs for investigation.
Who’s on the list?
1.Bill Ayers-terriorits, bombed USA in the 60′s;Co-executive board member w/ Obama, held ‘announcement party’ for Obama’s senate race.
2.Tony Rezko-Convict and shaddy real estate dealer. Sold Obama land below value, in exchange for $millions of state funds
3. Rev. Jeremy Wright-Obama’s Pastor for 20 years, USA white and gov’t hater, teaches black liberation theology, Obama’s titled boook ‘Audacity of Hope’ was from a Wright sermon. He married Obama & Michelle, baptized their children
4.ACORN-voter reg. fraud, ex-Obama employer, relationship with Fannie/Freddie bad loans
5.Franklin Raines-ex CEO Fannie, adv. for Obama, walked away with $90M, proven to cook books at Fannie
6. Jim Johnson-ex CEO Fannie, Chair of Obama VP search team, walked away $20M
7.Mayor Dailey-Chicago Mayor convicted of ties to Chicago Mob, political mentor for Obama
8.Ahmadinejab-USA hating Iran’s President soon to be friend of Obama
9.Louis Farrakhan-bigot and anti-semitic,Obama worked with on Million-Man-March. Obama has praised Farrakhan in his books, and given speech’s with him.
10.Saul Alinky- Auth/Mentor for Obama, wrote ‘Rules for Radicals’, Obama followed radical doctrine while community organizer
11.Father PFleger-Radical Chicago Priest, kicked out of diocese, who gave speech on hating whites, and calling Hillary Clinton a ‘white entitlist’, while giving speech at Obama and Rev. Wright’s church
12.Rashid Khalidi-The co-founder of the Arab group, Columbia Univ. prof, is a harsh critic of Israel, worked on behalf of the PLO a terror group.Khalidi held a fundraiser in 2000 for Obama’s run for U.S. Hs. of Represt.

Resume of a Terrorist: Obama’s Buddy Ayers
While the likes of the New York Times, Washington Post, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and other news organizations have their reporters digging for dirt on Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin, John McCain’s choice for vice president, their savior-in-waiting Barack Obama is getting a free ride at the expense of truth.
It’s no secret that the denizens of America’s newsrooms want Obama sitting in the Oval Office, but Americans are being purposely duped by the Democrat National Committee’s volunteer publicists, formerly known as the mainstream news media.
If it weren’t for talk radio and the blogosphere, even what is known about Obama and his friend, former Weather Underground domestic terrorist and leader William Ayers, would only be a paragraph or two in the backpages of most newspapers, or a sentence or two on most TV and radio news programs.

As I write this “resume of a terrorist,” I find it difficult to understand how a man who is running for president of the United States would even know someone as anti-American and destructive as William Ayers. Plus, Ayers, his wife and their comrades at the Weather Underground are cop-killers. And Obama doesn’t just know him personally—he’s a close friend with Ayers.

Lynne, as a buyer in CA where a lot of subprimes were given – it wasn’t the government pushing these – it was the mortgage brokers looker for higher and higher commissions. Guess what they would make on a standard 30 year fixed like mine – something like a $1500 commission. On an “exotic” arm or subprime, it was usually a larger loan (people stretching more) and the commissions were more in the range of $4500. So don’t go blaming the government. I WANTEd a 30 year fixed, and was too smart to accept the HARD SELL I was given to take an arm. Look to the brokers because it was them being corrupt (they didn’t care – they got the sell, that was it), and many people being stupid and speculating on the market. The only thing wrong with the government was the rampant deregulation of this and other components of the financial sector. I don’t know why I waste my time trying to explain this to people who are just spouting republican talking points. But there you have it.

Posted by: Colorado Dem | October 4, 2008, 10:58 pm 10:58 pm

Palins remarks — shades of Ted Agnew and the nattering nabobs of negativism … The republicans haven’t been able to win the presidency on issues since 1968 – they’ve won consistenly on the “character” issue. Even today, the hysterically theocrat commentators praise Calin for bringing the Reagan CHARACTER back to the front burner. To hell with the issues, it’s all about character.
—————————–
My view is this: The Democrat party’s fundamental philosophy about what govt is all about or should be about is all wrong – not because the ideas aren’t noble — just is, they can’t work. Their ideas depend on building big bureacracies to write and enforce ever complex rules and allow the bureaucrats to escape accountability for exercising any attempt at intelligent judgement. Big bureacracies bring out the worst in human organization and social behaviors.
——————
The Republicans claim they have a contrary view. But, if they consistently make the primary isssue “Character Counts” on such items as Obama’s flimsy associations with people whose more offensive ideas he has never promoted, then the public has lost the opportunity to make a collective intelligent decision about what kind of government they want — and the yahoos prevail.
————————-
The Republicans are big fibbers; I am so disappointed with McCain. I’m voting for Obama because I’ve had enough of this deceptive trash from the theocrats. If Obama and the Democrats go too far with their idiotic philosophy of activist government, I will join the revolutionaries in the street. So far, though, all I’ve seen is mostly 2 forms of sheep. Ai yi yi!

NY Times – Obama and ’60s Terrorist Bomber: Willam C. Ayers, Weather Underground terrorist and now an “educator” at the University of Chicago, has been a longtime friend of Sen. Obama. Obama has described him as just somebody that lives in the neighborhood. It’s a lie. I know it’s a harsh word to use, but they’re close friends. They are associates. Obama’s career was launched in Ayer’s house!
This guy was one of Obama’s mentors, taught him the ins and outs of radicalism as authored by separatist Saul Alinsky. The relationship between Ayers and Obama is much deeper and longer than Obama admits. Read the NY Times report … [Oct. 3, 2008].

There Davis, that should teach people not to accuse “The One We’ve been waiting for” of criminal associations before he announced his candidacy. It is no ones business.

Whatever Sarah, the nation heard what an idiot you really are:
” . . . where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the healthcare reform that is needed to help shore up our economy. Um, helping, oh — it’s got to be all about job creation too. Shoring up our economy, and putting it back on the right track. So healthcare reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions, and tax relief for Americans, and trade, we’ve got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive, um, scary thing, but 1 in 5 jobs being created in the trade sector today. We’ve got to look at that as more opportunity. All of those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is a part of that.”

4) Lying is such a habit of her that she is protected by 7 layers of McCain membranes from being questioned about her lies, while McCain answers with lies while questioned about his lies…so the media gave up on him.

I am a military veteran and life long Republican. However, I cannot support McCain this year. In her debate against Biden, Gov Palin spoke about Obama waving a white flag of surrender because he voted against troop funding due to the bill lacking a timetable. I am more concerned about the war here at home to keep jobs and feed families. I am angered by McCain’s decision to turn his back on my state. He’s basically waving his own flag of surrender. That goes against all his talk about supporting hard-working Americans. One DOES NOT desert a state because they think they can win it! True heroes fight against the odds and stick with the people who are suffering! If anything, he needs to be doubling his efforts to communicate how he can strengthen the economy to the benefit of a state like Michigan! I find it extremely hypocritical. That’s why I’m voting for Obama/Biden this year. They care about hard working Americans. Even in states they are likely to lose, they continue to FIGHT! That’s what I want in my leaders. McCain is no leader. He’s a quitter.

DNC to Silence Lawsuit over Obama Birth Certificate: According to WorldNetDadily, Drew Zahn, a prominent Pennsylvania Democrat and attorney Philip J. Berg filed suit in U.S. District Court two months ago claiming Obama is not a natural-born U.S. citizen and therefore not eligible to be elected president. Berg has since challenged Obama publicly that if the candidate will simply produce authorized proof of citizenship, he’ll drop the suit. Berg told WND the longer the DNC tries to ignore his lawsuit or make it go away – instead of just providing the documents – the more convinced he is that his accusations are correct.
Despite assertions by the Washington Post and DNC that Obama has produced a certified Hawaiian birth certificate, Berg told WND he remains “99.99 percent sure” that the certificate is a fake and he wants a court, not a website, to determine its validity. Read the WND report … [Oct. 4, 2008].

All I ever hear or read from you people are the talking points that Obama regeritates and feeds you so here is a little homework for you that is unbiased from all. TOP SECRET: This is how conservatives come up with the decisions that you people seems to never to grasp.
we will do this in babysteps.
Lets start with the economy which seems to be the general rule that Obama is superior
find the states that are ruled by democrats ie:Michican, california and write them down.
now find the states that have a republican congress :ie texas,Alaska etc. again write them down.
now google each and every one of them.
now look at there economies and compare them.
then while your at it check out the tax system
now go to crime stats and compare
unemployment rate
housing value rise and fall
what you will find will obliterate any and all preconseptions that have been sold to you by the Obama. In fact it will scare you to death the more you learn.
next we conservatives will teach you how to get info on what really is going on globally ie; wars

I don’t know if there is a line you can’t cross in American politics. But this is it. McCain is betraying his own country. I never liked his policies much. But I know that is the foundation of democracy – not agreeing. Right now I am starting to despise the man and everything he stands for. He is a greedy bastard. With no honor. No decency. He is an unAmerican unpatriotic pig. And no matter how much lipstick he wears. You can’t hide your true self for ever. We can see who he is. Unpatriotic and UnAmerican.
McCain, what you said is not American. What you said is not patriotic. What you said is not in the interest of America. What you said is a lie sold to all Americans. What you said is about your own greed. What you said is fearmongering. What is said was unethical. What you said is without honor. What you said is the type of thing the enemies of this great country and real terrorists will say.

3. Such an idiot to believe that there are 57 states (hasn’t made it to the 58th yet) and Iran and Venezuela are tiny countries that are not a threat to us.
4. Completely flip-flopped on every position he originally started running for.

Dear Robin Boren – reaching out to you rethugs … try googling Clinton administration. Gosh, you betcha – it was the last time the country had a surplus. Doggonit – we had low unemployment and crime rates dropped. Gee willikers (wink) we were much more prosperous and respected in the world. Then the rethugs took over an the only people who prospered were Halliburton stock owners and the top 5% who got a tax break. Now at the end of “liberal” GW (now that’s something I never thought I’d hear, but okay – invent your own reality – you don’t like Bush so suddenly he’s a liberal after the most vehemently radically conservative administration probably in 100 years) and the economy is in the toilet we are spending billions on a war that should have never been started and we have a raging deficit (highest ever).

NYT article that provides CYA for ObamaShow is just one more example that elitist obamanoids will stop at nothing to deceive, in their quest to lead us to Him, The One.
By the way, where are all of Obama’s “normal” associations, friends, and business collaborators? Perhaps if he had any, there wouldn’t be such a vacuum into which gets sucked Obama’s ties to domestic terrorists, crooked Chicagoan politicos, corrupt lying ACORNists, and scheming Iraqi billionaires. Obama deserves NO PASS on his Community Agitatin career, especially since that is the near sum total of his experience, besides running a Pres-Campaign that is. His Agitating Days are at the very core of who Obama is, who he represents, and who’s goals he supports. These things are potential deal-killers for an Obama win. The question is ‘have we become a center left-far left nation’? Those Obamaphiles and Obama-detractors who’ve been paying attention for the last couple of years already know the real Obama. It’s now time to introduce him to the rest of ‘us’, unfiltered through his media help-mates and Democrat-job applicants. There’s a wealth of ObamaHistory that didn’t make it into his pop-books, history that provides the missing insights into Obama the man, Obama the politician, Obama the ideological Leftist.

Posted by: Anna | October 4, 2008, 11:32 pm 11:32 pm

Hey FL_Vet – you’re all worried about Obama having a Palestinian friend.
Let me ask you something, my veteran friend. Who has killed more Americans? Palestinians? or republican presidents who start wars for a lie?
So far the count is:
Palestinians: 0
Bush: 4,180
You tell me, FL_Vet, whose the real terrorist killing Americans? Khaladi or Bush? And you think McWar will be any different?

Posted by: clifton | October 4, 2008, 11:33 pm 11:33 pm

It’s silly to think Obama is racist. He is biracial and wants true equality for everyone in America. He’s already denounced Wright and only paranoid right wing whackos can believe he doesn’t care for all Americans. It’s very sad how issues like this is all you McCain and Palin supporters can focus on. It’s ultimately a reflection on your own personal character and the lack thereof. May God have mercy on you and forgive you for such hate and lies.

They are truly worried (and I give them credit for keeping up with the latest polls to know how bad things are for their candidate).
When a campaign goes into it’s kill tactics, they are worried. Very worried.

Gullible Americans, he is going to ruin this country and you don’t even have a clue. The youth can be forgiven their iconic idoltary but the people who have allowed this Marxist to get this far should be held accountable. He is the most liberal Senator ever to grace the floor. He voted to let a child that comes out of the uterus alive from an abortion to die rather than try to save it. Get real — this guy is not of God or anything. It would be funny if it weren’t so frigging scary. The youth vote propelled Hitler with his fascist regime, the propaganda here is no different. If you ask anyone who supports him what is this Change he speaks of no one can categorically say. Health Care — it ain’t happening, it didn’t happen under Clinton and it won’t happen under him we are in deep manure.

As an Obama supporter, I’m kind of glad this relationship is being discussed. The right-wing whackos have been trying to make Obama’s tenuous relationship with Ayres into something scary and significant — but it isn’t.
However, the implied suggestion appears to be that Obama supports domestic terrorism. This should be examined and discussed — then, perhaps people’s fears will be put to rest. If they care about the truth at all.

Kay;
Let’s stop pretending that the GOP knows how to work with any other party. Don’t you recall the claims after the 2000 election from the Republicans that “winner take all?”
Now, for your second point. When the GOP pulls McCain out from under the bus where they tossed him eight years ago and tries to claim they’ve got a credible candidate, you can’t expect the public to pay much attention. The party still hasn’t apologized to America for the last eight years of Bush…and Bush was who the GOP claimed was superior to McCain.
And by the way, I don’t know anyone who claims to be a “conservative” any longer.

I have a Master’s Degree from the University of Chicago and so have spent a great deal of time in Hyde Park – home to
many great intellectuals, like Obama.
It’s a small neighborhood in huge Chicago and people know one another just as they do in a small town. Gee Golly Whiz! I have not down background checks on the people I have served with on my charity boards. People working together for a good cause don’t really care about stupid stuff like that.
I remember the Bill Ayers of the 60′s.
Yes, he was definitely a radical. But, that was AT LEAST 40 years ago and he is now a highly respected professor at the University of IL in Chicago as well as a champion of improving Chicago’s educational system (which surely needs help) as well as working for those in poverty.
Most of us are not dumb enough to fall for that “guilt by association” game before. It failed miserably in the Dem primaries and will fall flat again.
Let’s focus on the specific actions of the candidates or else let’s go balls to the wall in attacking Palin and McCain for their sleazy connections – not to mention their dim-witted ideas!

Posted by: Kris | October 4, 2008, 11:45 pm 11:45 pm

The desperation is showing. This story has been proven false ages ago. But small minds believe small things. And let’s face it, those who believe this dingbat have small minds. But if they open the door, Obama has 30 years of questionable McCain associations… Pastor Hagee, Vicki Iseman, gambling thugs, mob connections in Arizona, Keating Five, Abramoff and on and on. Then there’s Palin…Troopergate, witchhunter priest, AIP, let’s see those tax returns again. And isn’t she due for a court date along with First Dude? We’ll see who comes out on the losing end here and it won’t be Obama.

Sarah Palin is a lying sack of moose poo, WINK AND SMILE. This accusation is a trumped-up phony and was investigated and dismissed long ago. Sarah, straighten your own house–there are plenty enough accusations flying around about you. This nasty Karl Rove tactic, taken out of the George Bush electioneering playbook, is a pathetic attempt to distract from her being uniformed and unable to think beyond memorized lines. I’m voting for Obama, with confidence and hope for a brighter future, and a reprieve from the same old ugly lies and trash from the past eight years. Sarah Barracuda is biting herself in her own six pack, as well as Senator McNasty (formerly Mr. Straight Talk, now Mr. Forked Tongue).

Palin’s Attack On Obama’s Patriotism Legitimizes Questions About The Palins’ Association With Group Founded By America-Hating Secessionist
By Greg Sargent – October 4, 2008, 4:55PM
Sarah Palin attacked Obama’s patriotism today over his association with former Weatherman Bill Ayers — a move that makes it perfectly legitimate to raise questions about the Palins’ associations with a group founded by an Alaska secessionist who once professed his “hatred for the American government” and cursed our “damn flag.”
If Palin is going to say this, it is now perfectly legitimate to point out that she repeatedly courted a secessionist group founded by someone who openly professed hatred of the American government, cursed our flag, and wanted to secede from the Union. Sarah’s husband, Todd Palin, was a member of this group, which continues to venerate that founder to this day, for years.

Consider the above post of mine as response to all your future/subsequent response and read it over and over…you never know your tiny brain (like that of Plain…proven by her D in economics) may understand after repeated reading and come to realize how tiny your brain is and may start thinking straight…I will keep praying for you.

It’s no surprise that the McCain-Palin campaign is going nasty. They’re behind in the polls, and the gap is widening.
But this will backfire. Perceptive voters can smell the desperation of this tactic and can see that the allegations are absurd. The stupid ones who fall for it weren’t supporting Obama anyway.
McCain already has a reputation of being a disagreeable hothead, and bogus, hate-filled assertions like Palin’s don’t help him any with voters who haven’t yet made up their minds.
The descent into nastiness will backfire also because Obama just might counter with all sorts of dirt on McCain and Palin.
This is just another example of McCain’s nastiness and poor judgment.

yeah well “Jeff” – good ole Arnie happens to be my governator, and I do believe he orignates for the good old tax cuttin, rich lovin republican party. He is 100% responsible for the ridiculous budget and fiscal situation in California. But then I know you are scared and not thinking straight – all those nazis, terrorists, MUSLIMS, and community “organizers” around every corner. Now he rigs votes – boy for accusing us of “worshiping” Barack you rethugs sure think he has miraculous powers. He rigged all those caucuses by telephathically manipulating peoples minds – yeah, that’s it. Okay, I’m going to get my tin foil hat, my goggles, gun, anything you rethugs thing I need to protect myself in this gosh darn scarey as hell world. Just quit reading me these scarey bedtime red alert kind of stories – maybe you should get some counseling for your paranoia.

Federal investigators are zeroing in on whether Tony Rezko paid for all or part of a $90,000 rehab of Gov. Blagojevich’s Northwest Side bungalow as the corruption probe of the state’s first family accelerates. Since Rezko’s felony conviction in June, the FBI has been investigating how the former top Blagojevich fund-raiser billed the governor and his wife for the work, who paid for it and whether Rezko ever arranged for cash to be passed in envelopes to the Blagojeviches, several sources familiar with the probe told the Chicago Sun-Times.
One day Obama’s activities will come to light and you’ll all say – but they never told us!

HEY REPUBLICAN REDNECK PARROTS!!
Let’s not forget the last 500 BILLION DOLLAR BAILOUT in 1990!! Hmmm, who was directly responsible for that one, let me think, oh ya that was Senator McKeating-5 and his other 4 corrupt buddies on the take…
I think if too much more mud gets slung by that Alaskan moose hunting witch, the Obama campaign should light that corrupt idiot McKeating-5′s butt up!!
Remember McCain was one of the dirtiest of the Keating 5, actually taking bribes, free trips and campaign donations from Charles Keating.
Plus Cindy was investing hundreds of thousands in special sweetheart investment deals in Keating’s shopping centers!!!

What delicious irony! McCain, who used to drop real bombs on real people, is encouraging Palin to accuse Obama of “associating” with someone who never killed anyone with a bomb.
Ask the Vietnamese who got bombed if they didn’t think of McCain as a terrorist.

Dear Sarah …remember the don’t throw rocks from inside a glass house…your “first Dude” belonged to a political party for over 10 years that wanted to SECEDE FROM THE USA!!Does Obama know persons more far left than himself…of course…do you know anyone more far right than you and Todd…I doubt it…as I don’t think you can get much farther right…you are a total wingnut!!

Instead of putting the future of the country first, Palin is going after more of the same Bush-type personal attacks that targeted McCain in 2000. This is why Bush-McCain-Palin is losing six “red states” in the latest average of statewide polls in Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, Colorado, and Nevada. With Obama leading in all 6 of these red states, and only 30 days left until the election, the Bush-McCain-Palin ticket is desperate. Look for more of the same attacks from Bush-McCain-Palin in the remaining days of the campaign. But they won’t be able to win back all 6 of those red states. The country needs and wants change after eight years of deficits and expensive wars. The country needs and wants universal health care, and the $10 billion per month of taxpayer money that Bush-McCain-Palin are spending in Iraq should be spent here in the United States. Put our country first. Obama-Biden 2008.

Don’t tell a guy who is black in Chicago that he doesn’t know about vote-rigging. Our tax dollars nearly went to ACORN (no not the thing that falls from a tree) and was pulled from this bailout bill. Good old Barry worked for ACORN has given money to ACORN and ACORN reciprocated to his campaign. Connect the dots honey, or has all that smog in LA hit your brain instead of OBAMA’s channel. Wink, wink!!

S Adams, the first time you called him a messiah I thought you were being sarcastic, but it’s starting to sound like you really believe that. Have you noticed that only lunatic conservatives ever call him that? Yet you don’t support him?
Posted by: Anna | Oct 4, 2008 11:55:52 PM
—————————
No Anna, I do support Obama because he is The One we’ve been hoping for, for hope and change. We need change from the Messiah to do all that we hope will change America in hopefully the “right” direction. For hope is change and change is always a good thing to hope for. How can we hope to get better if we don’t change the hope we’ve been hoping for. I hope Barack Hussein Obama is the change we will get in the White house to continue the change we’ve been so desperately hoping for.
Hold I, I have to change the channel to 73 because I hope to learn more from Obama about his hope for change for us.
Keep hoping for that change girl!

the sad reality of it all is that regardless of who wins nothing will save us from the failures of our leaders who have created an economic disaster. it would take many years for either candidate to fix.
and as long as they can keep us divided and focused on fighting each other (much to their delight) nothing will change until we as a people collectively take a stand, take off our partisan blinders, and take back our democracy and throw ALL the crooks in jail. i don’t see that day coming anytime soon. goodnight

S Adams,
The reason all the Republican guys like you love Palin is she is a MILF… Why the Republican women like her is beyond me.
All she does and has done since the very beginning is read speeches on a teleprompter that somebody else (Bush speechwriters) wrote for her.
If questioned in an interview she is as dumb as a ROCK (especially if there are follow-ups)!! This is all so fake it is just sickening. Is this what this country has come to, an American Idol candidate like Sarah Palin??
If you are so tough and smart Sarah, why aren’t you on any of the Sunday news shows like “Meet The Press or Face The Nation” this weekend?
McCain continues to hide this PATHETIC LOSER from the press, what is up with that???

Posted by: Davis | October 5, 2008, 12:12 am 12:12 am

She can bark, but she can’t do a press conference or Sunday morning news show. Unqualified to lead this nation. McCain is 72.

I have connected the dots idiot – you betcha! And our country is in an emergency state, not because of the nazis, terrorists, etc that you are so afeared of – but because of GW bush and Cheney – two REAL TERRORISTS who have attacked our country from every angle since 2000. I personally want to take my country back from these terrorists. All your distractions and little “so called” conspiracies and dots mean nothing compared to the flagrant crimes against country that these idiots should be tried for.
Oh and “honey” I don’t live in LA – but I’m guessing you have the limited geographic knowledge of a Palin-fan and can’t name any other city. (wink!)

McCain’s VP Choice Is Under Ethics Investigation For Abuse Of Power In Alaska»
Palin’s reformer image took a hit last month when she was accused of attempting to get a state trooper fired. That state trooper was her former brother-in-law who had gone through “a messy divorce” with her sister. After the trooper’s boss wouldn’t act on the governor’s request, she fired him. Though Palin says she doesn’t “have anything to hide” and she “didn’t do anything wrong there,” an investigation has found that one of her aides pushed the firing:
Gov. Sarah Palin on Wednesday revealed an audio recording that shows an aide pressuring the Public Safety Department to fire a state trooper embroiled in a custody battle with her sister.
Palin, who has previously said her administration didn’t exert pressure to get rid of trooper Mike Wooten, also disclosed that members of her staff had made about two dozen contacts with public safety officials about the trooper.
Palin’s scandal envelops her in the constellation of scandal-plagued lawmakers currently serving in Alaska. Here’s a brief overview:

They’re too busy watching the Obama channel instead! God, I never thought when he left Chicago he could brain wash so many ppl so fast. It’s chilling it truly is scary. A guy who is known in Chicago for all the crap he’s done here. It’s mind boggling. We don’t want him back but I wouldn’t wish him on this country either. In England they brought out a documentary, how come we don’t do stuff here about our candidates. Just soundbites and videos, it’s crazy. Goodnight all – vote with your head not your heart!

Posted by: Jeff in the windy city | October 5, 2008, 12:15 am 12:15 am

McCain and Keating had become personal friends following their initial contacts in 1981,[10] and McCain was the closest socially to Keating of the five senators.[21] Like DeConcini, McCain considered Keating a constituent as he lived in Arizona.[18] Between 1982 and 1987, McCain had received $112,000 in political contributions from Keating and his associates.[22] In addition, McCain’s wife Cindy McCain and her father Jim Hensley had invested $359,100 in a Keating shopping center in April 1986, a year before McCain met with the regulators. McCain, his family, and their baby-sitter had made nine trips at Keating’s expense, sometimes aboard Keating’s jet. Three of the trips were made during vacations to Keating’s opulent Bahamas retreat at Cat Cay. McCain did not pay Keating (in the amount of $13,433) for some of the trips until years after they were taken, when he learned that Keating was in trouble over Lincoln.[6][23]
Just as the Savings and Loan Failed back then, so now does Wall Street and the Mortgage and Banking Institutions. McCain thought then that the fundamentals of the Savings and Loans were sound. He has been responsible for so much failure in this economy. Treating Wall Street Like they did the Savings and Loan.

BEYOND EMBASSING, MCCAIN IS PATHETIC !!!
First The Savings and Loan and Now Wall Street. No Maverick. Corrupt McCain.
From the Wikipedia. Unlike McCain’s Lies, This is The Truth. Same McCain, Different Failure. Our Country cannot afford McCain/Palin.
The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The five senators, Alan Cranston (D-CA), Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ), John Glenn (D-OH), John McCain (R-AZ), and Donald W. Riegle (D-MI), were accused of improperly aiding Charles H. Keating, Jr., chairman of the failed Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which was the target of an investigation by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB).
The core allegation of the Keating Five affair is that Keating had made contributions of about $1.3 million to various U.S. Senators, and he called on those Senators to help him resist regulators. The regulators backed off, to later disastrous consequences.

Look at Palin’s record. She said she wants to support children with special needs, yet she cut the budget in half for Special Olympics. She makes rape victims pay for their tests. Alaska is a small state yet it is number one in Domestic Violence. She said she never authorized Monegan to go to Washington to try and get funding to fight Domestic Violence, yet ABC produced a document showing he did have authorization and Palin lied. She fired an innocent man and McCain”s campaign people frightened 7 people out of being witnesses and is trying to get the charges delayed until after Nov 4. That”s all we need. One Keating 5 Corruption character who is McCain and Troopergate crook who is Palin.

Davis –I know right? I feel your frustration I mean, why do all the candidates feel that they need teleprompters. If Obama would let go of his, he might be able to answer questions from the audience. Oh, but why does he need to take questions, he tells everyone what they need to know from his speech on the teleprompter.
And yeah, these candidates really need to go on more shows, I mean why is Obama afraid of little old Sean Hannity? He would have Colmes take up for him if the questions got to hard. Well, I guess that old Truman Burgess guy that Obama sent onto Hannity and Colmes, told Hannity right?

SHE ABUSED HER AUTHORITY, HER HUSBAND AND 7 OF HER AIDES REFUSE TO COMPLY WITH THE LAW AND GOT BAILED OUT BY MCCAIN”S TOP ATTORNEY AND CAMPAIGN THE SAME WAY BUSH”S PEOPLE GET OUT OF CHARGES.

LIE ABOUT WHO YOU ARE AND LIE ABOUT YOUR OPPONENTS. THE ECONOMY IS NOT A LIE, IT NEEDS HELP. FORECLOSURE ARE NOT IN OUR MINDS, PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUFFERED JOB LOSSES ARE NOT WINERS.

Gov. Sarah Palin has surrendered important gubernatorial duties to the Republican presidential campaign. McCain staff are handling public and press questions about actions she has taken as governor. The governor who said, “Hold me accountable,” is hiding behind the hired guns of the McCain campaign to avoid accountability.

McCain specializes in lies. Then he repeats them over and over. Not until all of the media pointed out and confirmed the lies, did his own supporters see how desperate McCain is to win. Then McCain condemned media sources like the New York Times who found out his Campaign Advisor Rick Davis receiving $15,000.00 a month from Fannie Mae up until last month, receiving over $2,000,000.00. This made McCain very angry and he and his campaigned condemned them. They could not deny it. They were mad because they could not HIDE IT. He had no problem with the media who validates his lies by not questioning what he says, but only print it whether it is the truth or not such as CNN. I do not watch CNN and will not watch it. They won’t even post anything that is too negative against McCain even if it is correct or accurate. I am so grateful and thankful for MSNBC and Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow .

McCain voted against the Webb amendment calling for adequate troop rest between deployments.
McCain voted against an amendment that would provide $20 million to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for health care facilities.
McCain was one of only 13 Senators to vote against $430,000,000 for the Department of Veteran Affairs for Medical Services for outpatient care and treatment for veterans.
McCain voted against the Webb amendment calling for adequate troop rest between deployments.

McCain was one of only 13 Senators to vote against $430,000,000 for the Department of Veteran Affairs for Medical Services for outpatient care and treatment for veterans.
McCain voted against increasing Veterans medical services funding by $1.5 billion in FY 2007 to be paid for by closing corporate tax loopholes.
McCain once again voted for abusive tax loopholes over veterans when he voted against creating a reserve fund to allow for an increase in Veterans”” medical care by $1.8 billion by eliminating abusive tax loopholes.
McCain voted to table an amendment by Senator Dodd that called for an additional $322,000,000 for safety equipment for United States forces in Iraq and to reduce the amount provided for reconstruction in Iraq by $322,000,000.
McCain urged other Senate members to table a vote (which never passed) to provide more than $1 billion for National Guard and Reserve equipment in Iraq related to a shortage of helmets, tents, bullet-proof inserts, and tactical vests.
McCain voted against increasing the amount available for medical care for veterans by $650,000,000.
Too bad McCain wouldn’t provide the same level of support to our veterans that many of his followers have shown him.

Hi politi-kiddies, I’ve got a treat for you! Here’s a collective summary of the “intelligent” Republican argument blogging on this story:
carl29 – name-calling (O’Bambi – how original), spammer of false facts
Matt – enjoys calling people “dummy” and name-dropping to make his point. Which works like in second grade!
Patrick – rejoices in the “vetting” of Obama, even though Palin was never vetted. Maybe a Pat-down is in order…
gop tactics don’t work anymore – rambling on his history lesson that I didn’t even make it through the first two paragraphs (hint: blog = multiple paragraphs…comments/rebuttals = two paragraphs or less)
Morris – believes name-calling (B.O.) makes him smarter than us. Also conveniently forgets Sarah herself, not her friends, herself, is under two ethics investigation. (Heard about that personal email account for government business? hope she don’t do that with the nuclear codes!) Character indeed.
Ron – provides an off-topic rant on Californian Democrats that has nothing to do with Obama. Talk about spacing out…
checks and balances – latching onto an obsure ruling. Palin’s abuse of power? Read the headlines: ethics investigation.
Bill – another off-topic California hater…again, as pointed out, the Gov. is Republican. Also forgets about the 49 other states in trouble…and doesn’t that start at the top? W?
Nicholas – believes Obama is Muslim…enough said about his mental capacity. A true Republican. Plus, “Sarah Palin Rocks”. end quote. Great point.
Scott Buchele – again, believes Democrats alone are the cause of his money problems. It’s called a J.O.B. Earn it.
Doreen – believes a conversation with someone automatically makes you close friends. Also believes the University of Chicago has a terrorist on staff. I tell you this, Dorren is not my friend, I disavow any knowledge of having ever been friends with Doreen!
Shamika – Believes the “dims” and the media are fully responsible for Gov. Palin’s inability to handle the awesome dictator known as….Katie Couric.
Alec – again, the media….media, media, media. Gets his news from a right wing blog…but of course! Thinks voting in Obama will bring about communism…in his mind!
lluana – calls Obama “less than forthcoming”, yet somehow forgets Palin has never been vetted to the American public and trying to hide her own ethics investigation. And we all know how Palin loves to be forthcoming…
Eric – HRC supporter for “McPalin”….case made for his IQ.
E. Magos – another Kool-aid reference, believes a $200 campaign contribution has made Sen. Obama evil incarnate.
John10646 – tries to liken Obama to Malcolm X. Also seems to favor the French…if that means anything to Americans.
Obama/Biden/Ayers – longwinded discussion that basically says Ayers likes Obama. Thinks it’s Obama’s fault he is likeable but everyone but conservative republicans and bigots who hate blacks or Muslims…or both.
OurCountryFirst- believesin the existence of the “Boy’s club”, and that they would have Obama. Also thinks associations matter more than Palin’s personal ethics investigation(s). Also, thinks homeless people should be denied the right to vote….in a time of record foreclosures!
Be Informed – thinks Obama is a mullah. Mullah mullah mullah! Is he Muslim yet?
Lorraine – thinks Obama believes Americans are “stupid and lazy”. She said it, so of course it must be true.
mk – again, thinks his state got it worse because of the Democrats, conveniently forgetting every state in the country is having economic crisis. Talk about putting yourself first….
vic – thinks Obama has “diabolical” pals….time to call in the Republican Justice League of America! Also forgets that Obama doesn’t need to say he would attack across Pakistan…the headlines of the latest cross-border attacks of the current administration are doing it for him.
Wong of Strength – wants to have coffee at Ayer’s house with Chavez and Ahmadinejad. And thinks it will happen…ToastOnDayOne wants to RSVP.
I love this country – likens Obama to Hitler, and he’s the only one who’s done his research! Intelligent argument? You be the judge.
jd – also subscribes to conspiracies and thinks homeless people shouldn’t vote.
julie – thinks only Palin speaks the truth….in what little soundbytes we get from her.
Ynot – fearful of Obama truth squads are out to get ‘em…and why not go after an anrgy little republican blogger? Ego-trip much?
Born where?, Out of Kenya – both conerned that Obama’s place of birth (Hawaii) should disqualify him…even though McCain was born in a foreign country. Also think only he (Born) can get the “real” facts, so “save it.” XD
Mad as hell – wants his state to pull out of union if Obama is elected. Fantastic argument for secssion, a founding principle of democracy.
Christie – wants Sarah to “head him hard”! Ewwwww!
Dash – thinks Katie Couric is the devil, loves liberal “losers”, thinks Jesus is against killing unborn babies but wants to see prisoners fry by man’s judgements. Would Jesus pull that electric chair handle?
John – scared of backyard nukes that Obama wants to bring instead of beer…that’s one crazy backyard BBQ! Plus “Staten Island wanted to succeed from NYC”…now THAT’S funny!
S Adam – A tax argument…somehow, so boring I don’t have a retort. But he does think Obama is the Messiah…and believes rev. Wright will lead to America’s downfall….further. than. we. already. are. Also tries an attempt at satire…awww S Adams, that was so sweet! You get a special star for effort! He’s trying to fit in and be funny at the same time…just like Palin! Also does not realize Dems might not even need Ohio…even though he will forever be stuck on that issue.
LightSeeker – thinks random links are an effective argument…while compatriots argue egverything in the media is false. But why not believe a copy and paste machine!?! Wishes Reagan were here…
colorado – Again, thinks a California meltdown is Obama’s fault. And he’s in Colorado, so he knows this how? And colorado’s economy is soaring…because of who? Also thinks politicians should never mention traumatic experiences (like being a POW) or get defensive when talking about family (like hockey moms with special needs kids). And he’s hispanic, btw…but “his panic” shows clearly through his comments.
TC- obsessed with Ayers…Troopergate, not so much.
mssmith1234 – liberals live in denial…a Palin supporter argument that speaks for itself.
msa123 – Now Obama thinks his own supporters are “fools”? And liberal think conservatives are fools? And consrevatives think Obama is a foll? the never-ending blame game merry-go-round….
Elaborte – Likes to list names, yet forgets Obama has never been under an ethics investigation. Of course…
Mr. Incredible – Thinks it will be hilarious when McCain wins. Wait, that IS hilarious! Also thinks the term Rezkobama makes him look smart, instead of INCREDIBLE! Because Mr. Incredible is all class…
Stephen from Indiana – lumps all “Nobama” (XD) supporters as terrorists, corporations, and Hollywood millionaries. Which means more than half the country…hates the war in “Irak” (LOL!), loves the republicans…so confused. Doesn’t realize Obama’s district is bigger than all of Alaska….but that doesn’t matter. Community organizers don’t matter, right?
Lee – obssed with Ayers, not with an abuse of power probe. Or with the economy. Or with healthcare. No, just an obscure professor at a prestigious university…that’s how he’s voting. The University should be shut down too, I presume?
Lynne – Obama. Marxist. Muslim. Nazi. hitler. Case made…for me to poop on! I can do names too! McCain. Duke. KKK. Uh oh…
Bill – hiding under a couch somewhere, waiting for Democrats to bring about the end f the world….but the sun keeps on shining…can you bring back all that loose change when you’re done?
Austin Tx personal trainer – Scared of terrorist Obama and wants all of Austin Tx to work out so they can defeat the terrorists! Although his brain muscle could use more work…
FL_Vet – gets his info from a single website. cause this Internet thing is just too darn big!
Jeff in the windy city – Loves to be black in Chicago and anti-Obama…the ultimate underdog! Voting against O because Chicago, IL has the numbers 666 in it. Also thinks it should be illegal to buy political advertising on satellite TV…because that is surely chilling. Also fears an Obama movement, and is feeling really lonely in the windy city, because, as we all know, Chicago is the stronghold of America’s #1 cult. And he’s is getting angrier the more he posts…super sweeeeeeeet! Wink wink to you too, Jeff baby, run before the cult gets ya!
Obamatron drone 12323 – I. Am. A. Link. Spammer. You. Must. Listen. To. Me.
Kay – thinks complete sentences are fancy and elitist. Wait, the words I just used may be too big…dang it, I’m an elitist too!
Norman – gets all his info from Hannity. Enough said.
That is the bulk of Republican arguments on this board to this point. Whew! Lot of entertaining hate here…that sure was fun! Hope I didn’t miss anyone…but if I did, I’m sure it was illogical, bigoted, fearful…or maybe that awesome combo of all three. Or maybe you weren’t interesting or humorous enough…but try harder and you just might be a footnote in my mind!
Anyway, hope I caught you all up with the classy Republican fear tactics. they will all be going into my next blog as the main talking points of Republicans in October…aka Fear and Smear Tactics! Personally, I relish this nightly evening entertainment of Republicans quaking in their boots…it’s about time! Enjoy the election everyone…cause I sure am!
Obama/Biden ’08!

Windy City Jeff, I saw through Hillary’s pandering a long time ago – guess you like a candidate who goes along with the republicans in pandering by offering a gas tax holiday, and who cannot admit a mistake on Iraq. Hillary ran a dispicable campaign – she has only herself to blame that she lost – she is a dishonest and self-serving politician. I have no idealic beliefs that Obama is an angel – no one is who gets this far in politics, but he will at least be a damn site better than any republican candidate. Do you really think anything could be worse than the continued policies of GW that are sending our country down the sewer.

Posted by: Anna B | October 5, 2008, 12:36 am 12:36 am

MCCAIN IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE THAT GETS DO OVERS FOR UNINTELLIGENT COMMENTS AND PALIN IS THE ONLY PERSON WHO I HAVE KNOWN THAT CAN KNOW NOTHING ABOUT FOREIGN POLICY AND BECAUSE SHE CAN MEMORIZE WORDS, IT DOES NOT MATTER IS IF SHE MAY BE A CRIMINAL, GETS THE VICE PRESIDENT NOMINATION. SHE ABUSED HER AUTHORITY, HER HUSBAND AND 7 OF HER AIDES REFUSE TO COMPLY WITH THE LAW AND GOT BAILED OUT BY MCCAIN”S TOP ATTORNEY AND CAMPAIGN THE SAME WAY BUSH”S PEOPLE GET OUT OF CHARGES. REFUSE TO COOPERATE. IF ANY OF YOU OR MYSELF JUST SAID EVEN THOUGH WE GOT A SUBPEONA, WE WILL SIMPLY NOT COOPERATE, SOMEONE WOULD HAVE TO BAIL US OUT OF JAIL. AMERICA IS IN TROUBLE AND WE NEED TO GET THE CRIME BOSSES OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE AND NOT ELECT ANOTHER ONE. I GUESS TROOPERGATE WAS PALIN”S INITIATION. SHE WAS CORRUPT ENOUGH TO JOIN THE PARTY. AMERICA AND ALL THE CHANNELS INCLUDING THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HAD TO ADMIT MCCAIN”S LYING COMMERCIALS HAD CROSSED THE LINE. HE HAS NO CREDIBILITY. MR. DEREGULATOR NOW REGULATOR, WANTED A 9/11 COMMISSION, THEN HE WANTED TO FIRE THE SEC CHIEF WHICH HE CANNOT DO EVEN IF HE WAS PRESIDENT. MCCAIN/PALIN REPRESENTS LIES. LIE ABOUT WHO YOU ARE AND LIE ABOUT YOUR OPPONENTS. THE ECONOMY IS NOT A LIE, IT NEEDS HELP. FORECLOSURE ARE NOT IN OUR MINDS, PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUFFERED JOB LOSSES ARE NOT WINERS. WE NEED SOMEONE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAS A PLAN. OBAMA/BIDEN 2008.

Posted by: Change Agent | October 5, 2008, 12:36 am 12:36 am

I am an independent who supported John McCain in 2000. I was appalled by the vicious smears that some Bush supporters used against McCain. They were as false and as shameful as Palin’s “palling around with terrorists” smear against Obama.
I really looked forward to McCain’s candidacy this election year. I wanted an honest, intelligent president who could help free the Republican Party from the thrall of the intolerant religious right.
Never have I been so disappointed in a candidate. I can understand and accept that McCain had to become more conservative to win his party’s nomination. But he lost me when he picked the completely unqualified Sarah Palin as his running mate.
But now McCain — himself was the victim of hateful, lying smears — has now stooped lower than I thought possible. He didn’t even have the stones to do his own dirty work — he sent Palin to defame Obama by guilt through a very weak association. When will she start calling him a communist?
Just as I never — until now — thought of McCain so dishonorable, I never thought him so stupid. Does he think that the undecided and independent voters whose support he needs like this type of campaigning? One reason independents are independent is because we hate this lying partisan @#$%^!
And does McCain think Obama will allow these smears to go unanswered? It’s not as if there aren’t some very unsavory things he could say about McCain and Palin. Frankly, I can’t wait.
I am so disappointed by and angry with McCain that I am doing something tomorrow that I have never done before: work a candidate’s get-out-the-vote phone bank — Obama’s.

Its clear Ms. “ain’t I cute, wink wink” Palin doesn’t have any political thoughts of her own,(as seen in her recent interviews with Charlie Gibson & Katy Couric) Shes had to memorize a great amount of material in a relatively short time. McSame is using her as his little attack dog in a desperate attempt to derail Obama! McSame is a nasty. scarastic, pompous, arrogant old man who sorely lacks the temperment and diplomacy to be president!

McCain and Gramm for the past 26 years have torn down regulation. McCain is known as the Deregulation Senator. Now that his actions have come back to haunt him at the failure in Wall Street including the failure of a 158 year old banking institution Lehman Brothers. First he didn’t recognize itwith the stupid comment that the economy is fundamentally sound. Then after the world recognized the seriousness and after the comments made by Mr. Greenspan that this is the economic crisis of the century. After he had a night’s sleep. He woke up with a revelation. He said we are in an economic crisis. Ya think ????? Let’s fire the president’s SEC Chair and then lets put together a 9/11 commission while people are taking boxes out of their ex-jobs. His own economic advisor has no plan. McCain himself had no plan and no clue. He may be good at war, and maybe that’s why he keeps trying to start one with Iran and then Russia. He would cripple America. Our lives are effected. We are losing our homes, and our jobs. Banks are failing, so now our investments and pensions are at risk. We have to lowest regulation in years thanks to McCain and Gramm, but we are in the worst shape since 1929. This is serious. This is not a joke.
Obama for President, because some of what McCain does and says is not funny. It is just scary !!!!!!!!

Posted by: Change Agent | October 5, 2008, 12:38 am 12:38 am

Sarah Palin likes the one lines, but she can’t coherently discuss policy, supreme court cases, or even name a news source. Consider the messenger on this one. McCain’s campaign is shrinking faster than the polar ice caps.

Let me guess, next she will declare that Obama is a muslim since his middle name is Hussein or he isn’t American because he has a funny name or that she doesn’t like him because he is black? This is the standard script that the republicans seem to have against Barak.
Yes this guy was part of a charity that Obama worked at and also attended one meeting for Obama but with the hundreds of thousands that have crossed paths with Obama in his busy career it’s not surprising that one of those hundreds of thousands of people is a criminal. It certainly doesn’t sound like a very strong association for someone who works in politics and encounters many more people than the average American.
I don’t mind if Obama is investigated, go right ahead, its a civic duty to vet him but no more of this crap that doesn’t make any sense please.

Wow, you mean Palin isn’t out discussing issues like HOW their tax plan will help those ‘main street’ folk she keeps talking about instead of the wealthy? Or HOW the McCain health care plan will benefit those ‘hockey moms’ she keeps mentioning, even though it threatens to cause them to lose health coverage? You mean she is just attacking the opposition, and using logical fallacies to do so!! Say it ain’t so Sarah! Gosh darn.. It seems she is indeed a fast study and jumped right in on the GOP playbook. If you can’t defend your own position, attack your opponent with baseless claims to distract people from reality. So sad..

AS MAYOR, PALIN MADE RAPE VICTIMS PAY FOR TEST KITS, EVEN AFTER DEALING WITH THE TRAUMA OF RAPE.
SHE VETOS A BILL FOR INCREASED FEDERAL FUNDING FOR VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
EVEN THOUGH PALIN IS TRYING TO GIVE AMERICA THE PERCEPTION THAT SHE WANTS TO CHAMPION THE CAUSE FOR SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN YET SHE CUT THE BUDGET IN HALF FOR THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS.
SHE DID PAY HERSELF A PER DIEM FOR ABOUT 315 TOTALLY ABOUT 40,000 AT TAXPAYERS EXPENSE. THIS FUND IS ALLOTTED FOR OUT OF TOWN TRAVEL, BUT SHE WAS AT HOME.
SHE WILL REVERSE RO V. WADE AND TAKE AWAY THE PROTECTION OF CHOICE, EVEN THOUGH HER 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HAD THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE AS SHE STATED.

Ayers is a domestic terrorist who bombed his own country and to this day says he “didn’t do enough”. Obama worked closely with hom on The Annenberg Challenge in Chicago and Obama’s first fundraiser was in Ayers’ home. None of this was when Obama was 8 and Ayers comment that he “didn’t do enough” in his terrorist bombings was last year. I wonder how many of you who support Obama would be friends with Timothy McVeigh another domestic terrorist. If Obama makes this kind of choice for a friend, what other choices will he make that hurt America. His judgment is very lacking!

Jeff,
Yes we can – make the wealthiest 5% of our country pay their fair share and stop the unfair consolidation of wealth in this country.
Yes we can – provide health care for the poor and underinsured (yeah that you say you work for – right on that one dude!) and people with pre-existing conditions that would be screwed under McCain’s plan.
Yes we can – re-regulate the financial sector so that the taxpayers do not ever have to bail-out crooks again.
Yes we can – re-establish respect for our great country in the world, by negotiating first, working with allies vs against the rest of the world (and in effect aiding recruitment for extremist organizations)
Yes we can – actually focus and invest in alternate energy vs focusing on idiotic drilling regimes that won’t produce oil until ten years down the road.
There you go “Jeff” although your positions are such inane republican dogma that I doubt any reason would sink in. Hate away.

I’m more worried about McCain’s choice of Phil Gramm and Joe Lieberman as his buddies. McCain can’t hide from his ‘fundamentals of the economy are strong’ and his ‘bomb bomb bomb Iran’ statements. Obama didn’t make him say those things.
So, McCain has no end for the war in Iraq, no real economic solution (as his deregulations got us here), no health care solution, no solution for Social Security (do you want your check privatized in the stock market now?), and seems to want to antagonize Russia and Iran.
Our clout in the world is based on our economy and our ideals. Time to straighten our own house.

Now your MILF Palin, she is another story. McCain keeps her in the basement and only brings her out to read the teleprompter. Because when she is not reading from the teleprompter we all see what happens – Katie Couric – Charlie Gibson – Ouch!!
Say fool when is Palin going to do a press conference or a Sunday show like Meet the Press anyway?? Biden has done over a hundred since taking the VP slot…
BTW don’t miss Saturday Night Live tonight, I heard Tina Fey Ripped Palin a new one AGAIN!! Or you can catch it on You Tube tomorrow, I am sure it will be the most popular video on the NET!!!
Palin = LAUGHINGSTOCK!!!
McCain = LAUGHINGSTOCK for picking Palin!!!

carlasue–Well, let’s see I was doing great before the democrats took over congress. That Pelosi, Frank and Reid, aren’t they just peachy?( If you say yes, congradulations, 9% of the population agrees with you)
As I recall, McCain warned Congress, particularly Frank, that Fannie Mae was going to fail. And no one took him seriously. (BTW-Did you see that great interview between Franks and O’Reilly? Franks really told him!) All this started because the democrats thought not enough minority’s were home owners and then the banks were stuck with bad loans when the people who could afford $100,000 homes were approved for $300,000 homes. But you know what, the democrats aren’t alone, Republicans have to take some blame too, for not taking McCain and others seriously. (Oh and did you know that Fannie Mae doled out way more contributions to democrats than to republicans. Let’s face it the American people have been had by the entire Congress. The bailout was to save their a**es, not ours.

For superfan S Adams:
Now don’t be mad that you didn’t come up with the “Republican negative spin” article idea yourself! And as if I share my money making secrets with you?! Never! Haha!
But in all fairness to my hater-fans, it only makes sense to blog and make money at the same time. It’s all good to have an opinion, but man, make your words earn their weight. Am I right or am I right? Multi-task…it’s the economy, stupid!
Ok, that was harsh. I love that some will think I’m supported by the Obama campaign! Highest form of flattery, and the conspiracy theories would feed directly into my article. But the funniest thing really, is that I actually started the campaign as an Independent…yet something about scare tactics just makes me so excited to write. It’s literally the story that writes itself! But alas, I can’t keep commenting on the same story forever…I’m content to leave the free fighting and flaming to the experts like S Adams and colorado. You guys are fine in my book…well, maybe not literally, but you get the idea.
P.S. Did Davis just call me a “Mexican Republican Parrot” after a praise comment? XD…awesome! That has got to be the funniest thing all night. See, I’m all for equal opportunity bombs! Knock yourselves out…

Friendly Fred. Not clever at all. everyone knows Barak O did not belong to the Weather underground. The problem with people like you is you are brain washed, just like those little 7 and 8 year old children singers for Obama. They look over coached and if they tried to perform at the Olympics they would be checked for drugs they look sedated. But back to Barak. He and his sleazy wife Bernadine Dohrn bombed the Pentagon and a few other governmet buildings. After their friends blew themselves up they hid out and Ayres didn’t come out until offered amnesty by Jimmy Carter. Ayres has never repented or offered any allegiance to the US nor has his blood thirsty wife who spoke at one of the Weather Underground war councils and praised the Charles Manson family for killing wealthy people, two of which were Jewish. These people Obama hangs with make my skins crawl. Here’s one for you; :Birds of a Feather Flock Together”. Obama is just like Ayres. Scum of the earth.

Palin reminds me of Polly the Parrot. Everything she says is exactly the same old Republican nonsense that we have put up with for years. Frankly, I am tired of these kind of tactics as I am sure a lot of you are. Why can’t they just focus on what’s important to us instead of bashing the other candidate?

This attack by the republicans on Obama”s Character or associations isn”t going to work. Hillary Clinton was the first to try it during the primaries and she lost to OBama, then during the VP debate, everytime Palin tried to attack Biden, the lines on the meters went down for the focus groups. The garbage the McCain Campaign is dishing out has been tried before, and I think now in the last 30 days, it will only help cement Barack Obama as the first African American President of the United States of America. Then we can get this country back on track again !!!

Hate to cut and paste, but the reality is that the basic fundamentals of the US are strong. McCain got it right and as a leader tried to reassure American in a time of crisis – unlike the hysterical almost gleeful Obama. This cut and paste is from that Right Wing Mag -The LA Times: (Davis please don’t yell at me!)
Don’t sell America’s economy short
Despite the current financial crisis, there are many reasons to trust that the U.S. will, as always, rebound.
By Max Boot
September 24, 2008
A visiting Israeli Cabinet minister made two interesting points at a conference in Washington over the weekend. The current financial crisis, he said, is undermining the perception of American power when it comes to dealing with problems such as the Iranian nuclear program, Russian adventurism or the growing threat from Hamas and Hezbollah. Various actors around the world look at the U.S. and see a crippled giant. That reduces incentives to make concessions to Washington.
That problem is real, but so is the additional sentiment that he expressed after having been here for a few days. The economic woes of the U.S., he found, are not as readily apparent up close as they are in sensational media coverage abroad.
So far, Main Street has shown a surprising amount of resiliency given the problems of Wall Street. Even if the economy eventually succumbs to recession, as now appears more likely, it will bounce back before long. It always has.
There have been plenty of crises in the past — the stagflation and oil-price spikes of the 1970s, the savings and loan debacle and soaring trade and budget deficits of the 1980s, the popping of the dot-come bubble and the terrorist attacks in the early 2000s — that led many observers to predict that the United States would soon go the way of Rome.
What the pessimists ignore is that the fundamentals of the U.S. economy remain strong. Indeed, the World Economic Forum has ranked the United States as the world’s most competitive economy for the last two years. (The new survey comes out next month.) Its statistics show that per-capita gross domestic product in the U.S. consistently has grown faster than in other developed economies since 1980.
Looking deeper at the causes of American competitiveness shows that we score especially strongly not only in domestic market size (No. 1 in the world) but also in such areas as time required to start a business (No. 3), venture capital availability (No. 1), the cost of firing an employee (No. 1), ownership of personal computers (No. 2), university/industry research collaboration (No. 1) and quality of scientific research institutions (No. 2). The availability of venture capital might be affected temporarily by the market turmoil, and we should worry if Democrats gain control of both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue in November because they might exacerbate what the survey found to be the two most “problematic” issues for doing business in the U.S. — high tax rates and cumbersome tax regulations.
But whatever happens in the next few months, most of the other advantages that have been powering the U.S. economy forward for decades will remain unchanged.
So too will another vital statistic: population growth. According to federal statistics, the fertility rate in the U.S., where each woman has on average 2.1 children, is now the highest among major industrialized economies. We are above replacement level while Europe, Japan and other industrialized economies have long been beneath it. That means that, even as our major competitors have to cope with graying populations, declining productivity and increasing pension costs, our population will remain relatively youthful and vibrant, notwithstanding the retirement of the baby boomers. This advantage is enhanced by our ability to attract and integrate hardworking immigrants from around the world.
America’s competitors display other weaknesses that become apparent in times of crisis. As Harvard economic historian Niall Ferguson noted over the weekend in the Washington Post, while the U.S. stock market has declined roughly 18% this year, China has seen a fall of 48% and Russia of 55%. “These figures are not very good advertisements for the more regulated, state-led economic models favored in Beijing and Moscow,” he wrote.
Although the current crisis exposes vulnerabilities in the American financial system, it also shows one of our greatest strengths: the ability of our politicos to cross party lines and formulate a decisive response in a time of crisis. We saw that kind of bipartisan action after 9/11, and there is a good chance that we will see it now — assuming that lawmakers can agree on a bailout package that makes sense.
Contrast that with Japan’s dithering, delayed response after its real estate and stock market bubbles burst in 1990. A sclerotic political system dragged out its recovery for more than a decade and put paid to predictions — heard so often in the 1980s — that Japan would supplant the U.S. as the world’s economic powerhouse.
Given America’s record of resiliency, it would be foolish to “short” our prospects based on recent turmoil. The smart money will stay “bullish on America,” even if that was Merrill Lynch’s slogan before its downfall.

I wonder what Palin thinks about McCain’s mafia connections aka his Mafia Princess wife. It was his father-in-law’s well know AZ organized crime connections that financed his political career and gave him connections. Guess if Obama would have married Ayer’s daughter it would have made it okay. Look up “McCain” in the dictionary, it says hypocrite.

Didn’t McCain offer to do some with him, and more debates too but Obama was afraid that he wouldn’t know enough?
And Biden, seriously? He loves to hear himself talk, even if its about dodging snowballs, I mean bullets, in a helicopter in Afganistan. Or saying how he’s the smartest and best looking guy in the room. Or how he was forced out of the 1988 race for plagerizing, or how he failed ROTC and an english class for plagerizing. Or how he lied on a resume and said he graduated at the top of his class when it was 76 out of 85. That blowhard will go anywhere to hear himself talk.

Obama will be a role model for all the 8 years old in 2001, and now, 15 year olds to pal around with Osama Bin Laden when they grow up. Obama did not pal around with Ayers when was 8 but worked closely when he became an adult. Of course, Obama supporters will support Obama even if is found guilty of murder.

Yeah we were in a surplus with Clinton because he taxed the crap out of us and cut defense by 35%.
What did he do when 2 of our embassy’s were bombed? NOTHING Did he go after Bin Laden when the towers were bombed the first time and Bin laden was easier to find? NO What did he do when the U.S.S. Cole was bombed and service men lost their lives? NOTHING I would rather have gone after Bin Laden before 9/11 happened than have a surplus. What good did a surplus do for Americans killed by terrorists under Bil Clinton? NOTHING

Its about time someone brought this up, since the media turns a blind eye to it until it can be used against the republicans.
I agree completely that Obama had nothing to do with what the weathermen did when he was 8 years old. He had nothing to do with it at all. What gets me is that he obviously had to know what this person did and still decided to befriend him. I dont care how casually he knew him, attending a dinner at his house is just a little to close for comfort. Who would want to associate with a domestic terrorist at all? I guess if its beneficial to Obama that is ok. Sorry but “thanks but no thanks” to judgement like that.
All of this coupled with Rev. Wright, Frank Raines, Tony Rezko, Frank Marshall Davis, Nadhmi Auchi and Louis Farrakhan? Apparently his mother never told him to be weary of the company he keeps.
Sorry but cant bring myself to vote for a man that has all these criminal and hate filled ties, his own tv channel and posts videos of children singing like hitler’s youth on his website.
I think if most people could take the blinders off for a minute they would have the same sentiment. I’m sure everyone thought Hitler was great too. he also ran on a platform of hope and change.

As far as Palin goes, I don’t think she is dried-up either, far from it. I think she is a MILF, but it is also too bad that she is Dumb as a ROCK though!
She is completely unqualified to be VP, one heart beat away from a 72 year old fool with Alzheimer’s that is all…

I wonder when the mainstream media, will address John McCain’s 10 year friendship with Charles H. Keating, JR, the convicted Felon? The man who, with McCain’s help, caused the savings and loan crisis of the early 1990′s. The crisis where thousands of elderly American’s lost their life savings. The crisis that cost American tax payers 2.3 billion dollars.
McCain wasn’t just a casual acquaintance of Keating, he was a friend. “McCain, his family, and their baby-sitter made nine trips at Keating’s expense. Three of the trips were made during vacations to Keating’s opulent Bahamas retreat at Cat Cay.” There is even a famous picture of McCain celebrating his birthday aboard Keating’s Yacht.”
I just don’t see how ABCNew.com, can report on William Ayers, without also devoting time to report on Charles Keating. After all, Obama’s acquaintance with Ayers didn’t cost American taxpayers 2.3 billion dollars.

Jarrett was Michelle Obama’s mentor. An aide to Chicago Mayor Richard Daley in the 1990s, she hired Michelle away from her law firm to work for the city. A veteran of Chicago politics, Jarrett got her start working for Harold Washington, the city’s first black mayor. Her grandfather ran the Chicago Housing Authority in the 1940s
Jarrett has kept her day job as president and CEO of the Habitat Company, a major real-estate firm and court-appointed receiver of Chicago public housing, overseeing the beleaguered agency’s long.
Jarrett goes back with the couple nearly 20 years. She is the big sister in Obama’s Hyde Park-Kenwood extended family of friends: a clan of doctors, lawyers and business men and women who have nurtured him personally and politically for years.
The University of Chicago is like another member of that family, perhaps a rich and imperious aunt. Obama taught at the university’s law school. His wife is on leave from her executive position at the university’s medical center and Jarrett is the vice-chair of the university’s board of trustees.
Ms. Obama and others at Chicago University hospital, hired the firm of David Axelrod for the Urban Health Initiative,
Jarret and Rezko were involved in Obama’s In the South Side Affordable housing reform
The Chicago winter of 1996-1997 was a bad one, especially for residents of the Englewood apartment building at 7000-10 South Sangamon. The 31-unit building had been rehabilitated with a $653,500 loan from the city of Chicago’s low-income housing fund, another $654,000 in bank financing, and $1.9 million in tax credits. The general partner on the project was Rezmar Corporation, run by Antoin (“Tony”) Rezko and
Daniel Mahru. But the tenants shivered for over five weeks without heat because Rezko and Mahru claimed they lacked the cash to turn the heat back on again.
finally had its heat turned on in February 1997 after the city of Chicago sued, eventually collecting a $100 fine from Rezmar. At about the same time—January 14, 1997, according to public records—state senator-elect Obama received a $1,000 campaign donation from Rezmar
Sun-Times research also found that 11 Rezko buildings were located in Obama’s district during the years when he was an Illinois state senator (1997-2004).

Most of Obama’s friends all have a radical dislike of America, some to the extent of hating it. Most wanting the Government changed to either Communism, Socialism or a new form like the new democracy as soro’s wants. You can say Mr obama a young confused boy, searching for where he belonged was not influence by any of these strong mindividualsviuals. Evident bchoosingoising to keep them as close personal friends for so many years. Running in the Same small circle of friends from hyde park and the universiChicagohicago & the hospital.
Yes it is a serious matter, Yes it should be investigated and Yes with Mr Obama knowing all about them, what they stood for and his personal choice to keep them close as friends and work so closely with him, is a problSecuritycruity of him becoming President of this Great nation. The only reason for it not to be is if Mr Obama does have everyone so brainwashed that he owns them.
Regardless it is a Dangerous Political Game he is playing and you and our country is the Stakes

Geeeeez…Palin’s a whore, and a crook and Mrs. McCain is plastic. Oh, and both McCain and Palin are traitors? So much for the new politics and discussing issues!
I would be interested in knowing Mr. Palin’s motivation for having joined the AIP. Apparently it’s the third largest political party in Alaska, and recently an AIP member become governor there. But he didn’t agree with the secession aspect, and it would be fair to say that possibly many others, including Mr. Palin didn’t, but he would have to say what his motivation was himself. Some claim it’s a white supremicist group, but as I understand it, Mr. Palin is part Native American-so that would be rather odd.
Palin dissociated himself from the AIP in 2002 by registering independent. Mr. Obama disassociated himself from Ref. Wright-so I fail to see why one is unacceptable and the other isn’t. Also strange given that Todd Palin isn’t running for anything!
These Obama comparisons with a potential VP and her husband are proof of the desperation being displayed on the part of the ultra-Leftists within the Democratic Party.
Also, having been 8 when the WU was most active doesn’t negate a relationship down the road. We still aren’t sure what that relationship was, and I think voters have a right to know.

– as of now:
– the top 5% pays 80% fed taxes
– under obamas plans we pay 95%
Totally incorrect. According to the US Internal Revenue Service, the top 1% of earners pay roughly 33% of the federal tax burden. The top 5% pay roughly half, and the top 50% pay virtually all of the federal tax burden (over 96%).
Also, according to analysis by the University of California (UCSC), the top 1% earners control close to 40% of the wealth in the US, and we have the second highest wealth distribution inequality in the world, second only to Switzerland.

McCain is crashing in the polls, pulling out of states, whining “life is so unfair” and announced the only strategy he has left is to destroy Obama’s reputation so he is going to get tough on Obama.
Since he has no plans or policies to offer to help America, all he has been doing is attacking Obama since March with lies, smears, distortions and shamelessly repeated falsehoods though exposed for it over and over again.
Now he skulks behind another shameless liar–his unqualified and corrupt VP nominee.
Last week Palin could not name one newspaper or magazine she reads regularly.
This week the McCain campaign handed her a script to deliver about an article in the New York Times which completely exonerated Obama from the false charges and lies about his alleged association with a former terrorist.
She has obviously not read the NYT article nor Chuck Todd’s article and thinks she can lie with impugnity.
She has turned over running Alaska to the McCain campaign, is trying to stop the Alaska Special Prosecutor’s report from being issued before the electionh, is covering up her connection with a secessionist organization (TREASON), her witchcraft connections, etc.
McCain is covering up his wife’s Mafia connections, his own gampling connections with organized crime, Keating 5, etc.
These two ‘fronts’ for the oil/military/security/disaster/industrial complex will stop at nothing to prevent America getting free of them and the Mafia.
Look at the expose of McCain and his lobbyist employees’ connections to Russia, Montenagro, Urkraine, Georgia and Israel for starters.
These people are owned by the international crime syndicate.
Obama will probably be assassinated before the election if they cannot destroy him with their smears.

This election is feeling more and more like a repeat of the 2000 race. We had the choice of a tried and true person and what we would up with was a person who had failed at every business he was ever involved with. Any surprise he failed at running the country? All that mattered was the Republicans getting revenge for Bill Clinton’s 1992 election. Now, we have a group of Democrats who are doing the same thing due to just as big of a dislike of Bush, with another man even more ill-equipped for the job – a professional politician.
Remember how things started falling apart in late Spring 2001 for Bush because he could not handle the job? If Obama wins, it’s back to the future with a rerun of that. I don’t like McCain that much, but he’s the lesser of two evils.
I’d like for everyone reading this to consider, even briefly, that this isn’t a football game – “our” guy vs. “your” guy. Everyone running has been sub-par, can we at least agree on that? But, we have a mess and need someone with a semblence of how to fix it in there. Would you think it is OK for a high school kid who read a medical book do open heart surgery? Electing Obama is going to be the same thing for our country. He’ll be the REAL Bush Term III. I’m sure looking forward to that!

McCain/Palin doesn’t have any ideas to solve any problems in this country. Their main focus is to scare americans into voting for them by trying to tie Obama to Ayers. If Ayers was a terriost, why didn’t the government prosecute him for his crimes. Ayers is a respected professor at a college in Chicago. I dont believe a terriost would be allowed to teach our kids.

– Bill Ayers and Obama go back to his community organizing days. –
Yes, and guilt by association is just another tried and failed logical fallacy, as otherwise, McCain would have spent some time in jail due to the Keaton-5 ordeal.
And while we are glad that Mrs. Palin is finally able to name a newspaper that she has read, she apparently did not understand what it was that she read, as it clearly showed that the ‘connection’ was tenuous at best. But gosh darn it, she wasn’t about to let them pesky ‘facts’ get in the way, was she.

Absolutely this isn’t a football game, it’s the future of our country.. that is why we have looked at the candidates positions and considered what direction each would take us. McCain wants to continue down the path of reganomics to make his wealthy friends happy, while Obamas plan is not only better for America but for the majority of Americans (please see the tax policy center analysis). Their health care plans have been analyzed by the economic policy institute, the wall street journal and even the the commonwealth fund and found not only superior in terms of coverage for Americans, but also more economical since it would cost roughly the same as McCains but increase coverage to many more citizens. Obamas faster emphasis towards alternative energy sources is far better to McCains “drill baby drill” plan and nuclear plants, since those would not be productive for at least 7-10 years and simply prolong our reliance on oil. Obama wants to close the enron loophole asap, causing an immediate drop in gas prices at the pump, while McCain simply says “Congress is investigating it”. Here is a news flash, Bush only vetoed 1 bill while the Republicans were in control of Congress, and has vetoed 10 since democrats took control. And 2 of those would have closed the loophole.
Are you starting to see a pattern here?
And “J” said: “McCain is nothing more than a Bush twin”.
To which I pretty much agree. He has the same taxation plan, same foreign policy stance, same energy stance, and the same sub-par education. Obamas plans are workable, better for Americans, better for America, and the guy is extremely intelligent and has shown to have great insight, time and time again. Not only that, but both Obama and Biden are experts in Constitutional law, and I’m beginning to think that the two current numnuts in office have never even read the Constitution.

Let’s not forget that Nelson Mandela founded the MK, the ANC’s paramilitary wing which killed dozens of innocent people in terrorist bombings.
So by Palin’s pinheaded argument, anyone who associates with Mandela (e.g. George W Bush) is “pals with a terrorist”. Ok, Mandela has since renounced terrorism. But so has Ayers.
And many Israelis support the actions of the militant group Irgun in the founding of their state, including the terrorist bombing of the King David Hotel in 1946, which killed 91 people. Again, by Palin’s own argument, what does that make the pro-Israel lobby in her own party?

Sarah Palin is right to talk about this subject to the american people.

Not only know his deep connections with terrorist Ayers, actually Ayers is the one who pushed Obama into political life.
And, apart from these matters he has in USA, one cannot forget that the whole of the muslim world considers Barrack Hussein Obama a muslim.
And, they are counting on Obama to support Sharia Law at the United Nations and once in the UN spill it into United States of America.
Watch out for your FREEDOM! Americans!
Remember what Sarah Palin said in her Debate: the children of the children of a once upon a time FREE PEOPLE!
THATS VERY VERY REAL POSSIBILITY!
if Barrack Hussein Obama gets elected!

He thinks the economy is fundamentally strong but when asked what economy is he talking about? He changed his statement to say he was talking about the American people are fundamentally strong. The American people he consistently votes against on issues such as healthcare, seniors, labor, unions, keeping jobs from going overseas, energy, childcare, active military troops, veterans and even hurricane survivors?

Animals don’t fill my SUV’s tank. Speaking of animals, she’ll stop wasting money protecting so-called endangered species. Heck, they’re almost gone already and we get along fine. She’ll make sure that the federal government makes those nutty liberal women do the right thing with their bodies. She’ll get rid of that crazy evolution science thing and get creationism back in the schools where it belongs. She’ll get that federal law passed requiring everyone to carry a concealed gun for protection. About time.

I’ve learned to be FREE and Independent with the Americans.
So, i see many things in the world.
And, i insist that for better or for worse, AMERICA is that ‘light’ on top of the hill…shines through to all four corners of this small-big world of ours!
And, of all things, to me at least FREEDOM is what makes mankind excell, not the opposite. Even animals loves their freedom. Imagine their IQ’s compared to ours.
So, Mr. Barrack Hussein Obama for all his bashing of President George Bush, he, himself is thousand folds worse than Bush.

P.S. If McCain was intelligent, he should have understood that the only way to win this election was about to bring a positive message. When your ads are 100% negative, your message 100% negatvie about your opponent, it remains nothing positive to present to the american people where you will go. After 8 years of disaster, the american will elect in a landslide not the stronger but the better president.

Oh honey, you don’t even seem to know who is running for President! How sad they let you loose with a voters registration card (you do have one don’t you dear?).
Sorry, but we let the Roveian tactics of old get the better of us not once, but twice now.. and we wound up with that whack job in office and his side kick who is now claiming that the VP spot is not part of the executive branch of government. Please dear, stop reading the conspiracy theories, calm down, take a nice deep breath and open your eyes to the issues facing this country. It really is easy to do, even my 3 year old is capable, so I’m sure you are too. Then hop on over to the library of congress and see what bills each candidate has sponsored.. it will give you a pretty good idea of where each one stands and what they care about. Really, go ahead, just click on that link below here with your mousey thing. It will put your mind to ease. Oh, and the two candidates are “John McCain” and “Barack Obama”, just so you know which ones to look up while you are there.

Please, this is BS same old Rove tactics. Lets talk about the Palins involvement in AIP. And how Palin supported Pat Buchanan, a man that hates jews so much if he had a mustach he would be Hitler.

What happened to John McCain’s promise to run an honorable campaign? Is this what he calls honorable? John McCain just doesnt get it. People are tired of this kind of sleeze tactics.
Remember Bill Clintons words: If one candidate offers fear, and the other candidate offers hope, you should vote for the candidate who offers hope every time.
Dont vote for fear, vote for hope. Vote Obama.

Nadia scribbled: “a muslim alerting American’s on their FREEDOM! at stake.”
Oh, thank you very much dear, but please remember, those who have faith and do righteous deeds, they are the best of creatures. Your slanderous claims, such as “whole of the muslim world considers Barrack Hussein Obama a muslim” is a falsehood and goes against your teachings. As a Muslim, you should know the teachings of Muhammad: “cover not Truth with falsehood, nor conceal the Truth when ye know”. Not very righteous, and casts doubts on your claim that you are indeed a Muslim.
Good night dear.

I used to think that Senator McCain was an honest, decent individual of good judgment. I have since lost all respect for the man. In my view, he has been swallowed whole by the mouth of political power and greed at its worst, and will stop at nothing to get what he now desires. He has lost what once made him a good, admirable person. I fear for America if he is elected our president, and just hope that I am wrong in my assessment. In my opinion, Senator McCain is too blind to see that the people in control of his campaign have somehow convinced him that he must win at all costs, even if it means selling his very soul to the devil. Senator McCain, it is not too late. Take back your own campaign and demonstrate the honor and courage that once were yours. You have bravely lived and suffered within a world that has a mentality of war, and that has become your mindset. It is time to let go of that world, as difficult as it may be, and do everything you can to promote peace. Start within yourself; then give that peace to the world.

Think about it, during the next debate while watching John McCain and ask this question, “How many people died, are in rehab, had loved ones lives shattered/will continue to be so, did it take to pay for his shirt, tie, shoes, his wife necklace, one or all of their 13 homes, 7 cars?

Ask yourself why Cindy McCain held $2 million investments in companies with Sudan ties, when John McCain called for all americans to liquidate holdings in companies who do business there. Cindy McCains millions helps to keep dictators in power. Cindy McCain supports genocide. McCain campaign has still not commented on this. Click “Investigative” on ABC news.

Palin is an inspiration and is right on! Ayers and Obama were friends for many years. Ayers is a terrorist who has no business being anywhere but in prison or Russia, where he belongs. Palin needs to come out swinging, something McCain hasn’t been willing to do. There’s nothing wrong with “going negative” when the MNM (except FOX) has been in the pocket of Obama. And there’s nothing wrong when the charges are true (Even the NYT agreed).

To all Palin supporters; doesnt it disturb you the least that she’s a religious whack job who believes in witchcraft?
Be prepared for the inquisition if Palin gets into the White House. The Witch Hunter Supreme will be performing exorcism in the Oval office and a new era of Crusades will begin. After all we’re on a mission from God in Iraq.

When GWB won the White House, a situation was created where Republicans held the White House and both houses of Congress. The country appears headed toward the same predicament, different party. The American public seems unable to learn from the mistakes of the past and realize that a divided government governs best because it forces compromise and averts extremism.

The recent bailout would have been rammed through without a fierce resistance that protected taxpayers to some extent. Democrats ballooned the final bill with additional pork.
The so called party of equal rights savaged Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin with slurs, that, had they been minorities, would have been classified as hate crimes. The infamous Democrat Larry Flynt is making a porn film that is to feature a Sarah Palin lookalike. No outcry was heard from the Democratic National party.
This is not the Democratic party of our parents, but an amalgamation of self centered interest groups dedicated to making YOU pay for whatever destructive legislation that they present. I am sure they will be coming to reform YOU, not themselves.
Like Neville Chamberlain of the 1930′s their isolationist positions and candidate will only make the future more perilous for our children and grandchildren. Obama was against the war before we knew anything about the lack of WMD’s. This was a kneejerk reaction to the war and only now , that he is a candidate, has he presented a more ” nuanced ” position. His first position is who he is, not the dressed up current version.
The Republicans showed what happens when one party controls Congress and the White House. We have only ourselves to blame if we do it again.

Bill Ayers, Jeremish Wright, Bernardine Dohrn, Tony Rezko … the list goes on and on. As to Bill Ayers he is no better than the thugs who crashed airplanes into the World Trade Center and Pentagon, murdering 3,000 of our fellow citizens on 9/11. The only difference between Ayers and the 9/11 Jihadists is that, unfortunately for us, the Islamic terrorists proved to be competent. Obama and Ayers worked closely together on “community” projects and Ayers was instrumental to introducing Obama to politicals in Chicago who helped Obama launch his own political career. So, yes, Ayers is a fair issue. Obama also runs with the militant ACORN crowd, helped run the radical Public Allies, and has ties to other far left groups who share a common vision more in line with Hugo Chavez than our nation’s Founding Fathers. Let us also not forget that two of Obama’s key aides were top executives at Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, which are at the root cause of the current economic crisis. Obama says people are wishing for change. Well, be careful what you wish for.

It’s obviously time for Americans to ask the GOP and conservatives why THEY hate America. In the past decade, these emotional adolescents have done nothing but bully their fellow citizens, rob the treasury and our pockets to feed corporate greed, refuse to take any responsibility for any situation they are in charge of, and then hand the country a candidate they REJECTED in favor of George W. Bush eight years ago….with a runningmate who sounds as if she hasn’t had a coherent thought in her life.
This country needs leadership…not a ocntinuation of the self-destructive policies of right-wing ideologues who based their “religious” beliefs on manipulation and lying.

Hey Trico – Rod Parslay, the Keating Five, the Alaskan Independence movement, Jerry Falwell, Hagee, troopergate, the long list of lobbyists. . .the list goes on and on. If Republicans want to open a can of “character” worms, they best be prepared to start answering questions about their own candidate’s history, including his adultery habit and the cute “character” ability to lie about his age just to meet a woman.
Any man who would lie about his age for a stupid date isn’t apt to ever tell the truth to the American people.

Head of State
http://headofstate.blogspot.com/2008/10/impulsively-unreflective-duo-inmccain.html
The Impulsively Unreflective Duo In…”McCain Goes Negative”
McCain paces the floor in the Fortress of Irritability. He is cracking walnuts.
A walnut slips to the floor.
McCain: Damn nutcracker!
Sarah Palin is sitting in a chair at a desk. She is writing on a piece of paper: “J.M + S.P.” This is then crossed out and replaced by “S.P. + J.M.”. These alternating versions , the one before it always crossed out, continues down the page.
McCain: Well, the first plan didn’t work. We tried to put them in a trance with the folksy ray, but they had their deflectors halfway raised. If only you hadn’t called the commander in Afghanistan “”McClellan”
Palin: But…didn’t you say they were fighting a civil war, Sir?
McCain stops pacing, looks at Palin silently. He is smiling through tight lips but he is holding back anger.
McCain: “I think the time has come. We have to call in…Dr. Negative.”
He pushes a large black button which is the only button on a red phone on his desk.
Dr. Negative immediately bursts through the door. He is carrying flyers, masking tape; telephone wires are wrapparound his arms hanging hanging in every way; the a tattered copy of the book “Accusations of Communism, Polygamy, Drug Use, Spousal Abuse, Fascism, Pedophilia, Miscegenation, Cannibalism, Terrorism and Adultery…for Dummies!” is rolled and stuffed in his left pocket, filled with bookmarks; he is dragging a Robocaller behind him, leashed to a chain.
Dr. Negative (quickly, eagerly): Did you hear? Obama was born in Bin Laden’s subterranean bomb making factory, outside of U.S. lines. He was born on a pile of cocaine and dynamite–and the midwife was a Trotskyite!
McCain: Not yet, Dr. Negative. I want you to meet Sarah.
Sarah: Oh, we’ve already met.
Dr. Negative: That trooper went down! He poisoned the salmon milk at the Wasilla Bible school! With drugs made at a Leftist Satan worshiping collective! That you could see from Russia!
Sarah: You betcha’!
Sarah and Dr. Negative give each other a high five. Dr. Negative’s telephone wires rattle on his arm as he does so, triggering the Robocaller, which starts playing “…illegitimate babies made in test tube factories in North Korea and sent to Chicago by Bill Ayers…”
Dr. Negative shuts off the Robocaller with an embarassed smile.
Dr. Negative: Just practicing.
There is a pause.
McCain: That’s fine, Dr. Negative. That’s fine. Because, now, I have a special job for you. An important one.
Dr. Negative leaps into the air with excited glee. As he does, detritus falls to the floor–buttons saying “Election Day: Remember, the 3rd Tuesday in November!”, business cards, reading “Push Polls Anonymous–We Call, They Fall”, “Mongers On Call-No Rumor Too Far fetched”; Bandaids with purple hearts; mangled and dirty chads.
Dr. Negative: A new job! A special job! Oh, Mr. McCain! I’m ready! I’m ready!
Sarah watches from her chair, filing her nails.
McCain: Now, Dr. Negative. You have to make him seem radical…
Dr. Negative quickly pulls a can out of his right pocket, emblazoned with the word “Radical” He opens the top. Red and Black snakes fly out.
Dr. Negative: (eagerly, expectantly, hungrily) Yes…Yes…
McCain: You’ll have to start rumors that are so inflammatory that they will spread like wildfire and will be started too late to stop them with the actual truth…
Dr. Negative pulls a gigantic grinder out of his left pocket. It is labeled “Rumor Mill”. He turns the crank a few times. Hamsters, syringes, and Peace symbols fly out.
Dr. Negative: Yes…Yes…
He is salivating.
McCain: They will have to be so incredible, over-the-top, based on such tawdry and poorly sourced evidence, yet riddled with tempting minutia–bullet gauges, Google maps of supposed meetings and the like, that the right will eat them up, and start analyzing the minutia with adolescent glee.
Dr. Negative (Very calmly, matter of fact): Oh, that’s easy. They’ll eat anything.
Dr. Negative reaches into his back pocket, pulls out a manila envelope labeled “Minutia: So-called “Proof” for the Right”. He empties it to the floor. Bullet gauge measures, outdated copies of Photoshop, paperbacks entitled “How to Use the Insane as Competent Witness”, “The Faked Moon Landings! Roswell! And Other Believable Phenomena!” and “You TOO Can Be A Warrior–From Your Own Couch!” fall to the floor.
Sarah plucks out the “Faked Moon Landings” book. She starts reading.
McCain: We know how our girl loves to read.
Sarah stops, and begins fixing her hair in a hand mirror.
McCain: Now, Dr. Negative, there is one final task.
Dr. Negative: Yes, Mr. McCain?
McCain: It is very difficult. Very…dark.
Dr. Negative: (Leaning forward expectantly, his voice quivering with excitement): Yes, Mr. McCain, Yes?
McCain: You will have to play the card that they played against me. Do you understand?
The room becomes silent. Sarah stops looking at herself, and looks towards the center of the room where McCain and Dr. Negative are staring at each other.
Dr. Negative: You mean…(eyes widened with disbelief. His telephone wires are quietly shaking as he shivers).
McCain (nodding): Yes.
Dr. Negative slowly removes from his jacket pocket what seems to be an ordinary pack of playing cards. They are labeled “Joker” brand. He takes a penknife from his pocket, and slowly slices the covering cellophane. There is a slight and distant roar. He looks at McCain.
McCain nods.
Dr. Negative then slowly removes the red ribbon encircling the cellophane at the top of the pack. He inserts the penknife–holding it from it very farthest end–and flips open the top of the pack.
Smoke begins to pour from the top of the pack, thick, acrid smoke. It quickly fills the room, covering all that is in sight.
McCain (shouting amidst the sound of smoke rushing into the room): And remember–no fingerprints!
Next episode: The smoke is cleared.

Hey Kevinbgoode – Nice try but no dice. McCain was fully cleared in the Keating 5 investigation though 3 of his Democratic counterparts were not. Troopergate (assuming you’re not talking about Bill Clinton using AR state troopers to shuttle women for his midnight delights back in the 80′s and 90′s) is a joke. Then again, the AK trooper in question did stun gun a child and threaten violence against the Palin family. But that’s fine, you go there. The AK independence movement – too long to post but your facts are way off – Palin does not support. Now back to Obama. So you think Ayers is a good guy? Obama has no problem with him. Fact: They’re friends and worked well together. Do you also believe America had it coming with 9/11 like Jeremiah Wright believes? Oh, yes, your Reverend Wright also believes the US government invented the AIDS virus to kill African-Americans. Do you believe that, too? Obama went to the Wright church some 500 times and you’re telling me Obama never heard any of this crazy stuff? Obama has a long, long list of questionable affiliations and people who absolutely hate this country. Kevin, for God’s sakes don’t do it. Don’t drink the Kool-Aid, buddy.

I AM AFRAID OF OBAMA! I took a test online to see if I were a Democrat or Republican. Results showed I was independent. I am 57 year old female and not too much into politics. I have not been able to sleep at night for months because of the nomination of Obama. I am not prejudice and have black friends. I am SCARED to death of Obama. I took one look at him and felt very uneasy. I feel people are being brain washed. I remember when Bill Clinton was on the campaign trail and thinking to myself “he is a womanizer”. I believe Bill did a good job but I also was right about him being a “womanizer”. I think Obama will ruin this country. He smokes 3 packs of cigarettes a day and I feel he is very hyper. (I just quit smoking 2 years ago) I have nothing against smokers…I m not a very religious person but I believe that he is the one that will head us toward the END. He is very inexperienced but that is not my entire concern. I believe that he is a radical and is very very dangerous to this country. I am not a blogger and it pains me to sit a my computer to post this so I sure hope people will hear me. I think it is terrible the way the media plays out against the candidates and tries to ruin them regardless of what party you belong to. Remember, the media killed Princess Diana! If this is what freedom of speech is all about (saying whatever you want about anyone you want) then you can keep it. There is no RESPECT anywhere as far as I am concerned. People protesting and tearing up property outside of conventions, etc. is absolutely pathetic. We are all human beings and live together is supposedly a great country. We are supposed to be proud to be American’s. When we act like we have we are not setting an example to other countries. We need to join together and stop acting like idiots! PLEASE HEAR MY PLEA!

I listen to people around the office and on the net giving reasons to vote 4 them. Its like they are voting on america idol! Palin must think this is ‘week six’ of the new season. She said she already made it through five(dumb@ss).

You are totally correct. If anyone cares to look at the “background information” about factcheck.org, they’ll find shady Obama ties and can tie him into all this communism way back. Seriously – these aren’t just punches, the guy has some REAL issues about his associations.
Liberals: Think about this (if you can step back out of your fog), if your kids hung around the same types Obama did (do some google research), you wouldn’t let them out of the house, let alone run this country.
Obama has been brainwashed. Both HE and Biden COPY speeches from democratic leaders LONG AGO – and in the debates, FYI, there were no written speeches – it was ad lib all the way.
I seriously don’t think our new progressive socialist anti-American liberals will get the fact that WHO you associate is indicative of the type of CHARACTER you have cultivated.
For Obama to “not have known” this or that about Wright or all the other types – including the Kolosky (sp?) terrorist whom they deleted all his posts from the Obama.com forums (to hide the association) only goes to show us that Obama’s measure of character is not pro-American.

Hold your horses here “maverick.” Didn’t you attempt to chastise Biden about looking to the “past” 8 years just this past Thursday? So now you want to “sling.” Tell us about the drugs and your 2 older children. We’ve already heard enough about your newly acquired grandmother status. Tell us about the affair with your husband’s business partner. Tell us about troupergate. When you done with that, move on to McCain’s cheating and then ditching his first wife and the thiefing drug habits of that current piece of work he now has.
And lastly, tell us why Todd is never pictured holding his son?

It is frightening to hear Obama’s campaign term his run for presidency as a “movement”. Considering his alliances and terrorists abroad endorsing him as president (how, 15 years ago would that have been taken by the American public?), this “movement” is indeed change – like Davis pointed out, the Democratic party has been hijacked.
I’d love to see new parties emerge in the next few years – the Conservative Party of the People. Then, a new democratic type party, and of course, the Obama types in their own Socialist Progressive party. Let’s just label them like they really are and then let the people decide who runs this country.

This is when McCain’s campaign has realised they don’t have anything to win talking about the economy, foreign policy, health care or education. When you don’t have a plan, try insulting and attacking your rival with whatever you have (and if you can hide behind your VP even better). Another big argument to vote for Obama on November.

Hey Puppet – Too late on the economy. Thanks to Congressman Barney Frank and Senators Chris Dodd and Chuck Schumer both Freddie Mae and Fannie Mac had the political protection to massively expand lending to applicants who had no business taking out home mortgages. All this bad paper was passed on to other financial institutions on Wall Street and boom, we’re all screwed. Now we’re stuck with the 700+ billion bill. Oh, almost forgot, Barack Obama is the #2 recipient of contributions from Freddie and Fannie and two of his top aids hail from these organizations. He also had a hand in protecting his far left ACORN buddies. Hate to think what these people have planned next.

No wonder somne of them “cling to their religion and their guns” to the exclusion of all other issues.

Paul,
That diagram was created by a senior and seasoned American counterterrorism expert. It has been cirulating in many conserative pro-American websites and blogs, in professional associations Emails in the US military and intelligecne community since early September 2008. I happened to be the very first American citizen to copy the original .pdf file of the graph and post it to the internet, and I did so on 08 SEP 08.
I have personally seen OSINT (open source intelligence) reports which detail each of the personal relationships between Barack Hussein Obama II and the radical individuals linked directly to him. However, this is the first OSINT Link Diagram I have seen which graphically illustrates a very complex set of relationships, far better than I or anyone else could ever do with text alone. As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words, and thanks to the MSM this diagram will now get the exposure it should have received over the past month.

Got to go and enjoy the day. But before I do I’d like to say it was fun sparing with the libs on this board. I don’t think Obama is a bad person, just wrong, wrong, wrong with his leftist vision for America. And Paul, concerning Sean’s post and diagram, you attack the messenger but not the message. His diagram is spot on correct. But you want to talk about issues. Okay. If BIG GOVERNMENT and the vision of America as a giant nanny state is what you want, then Obama is your guy. If you want government to have a greater say over how you live your life, the choices you make, and you are fine with government taking more and more of your income because government, in your opinion, can exercise better judgement than you, then Obama is your guy. If you favor income redistribution, higher taxes, government run healthcare (and before you yell yes on that one you better do your research on the Canadian and British government-run healthcare systems) and a philosophy of statism run amok, then Obama is your guy. McCain is not a perfect candidate – there is no such thing as a perfect candidate. But he and Palin do believe in limited government and that the individual should be free to persue life, liberty and happiness free of as much government interference as possible. So, for me, McCain gets my vote in 2008. Cheers!

Grant, you’re dismayed that the adult relationships between Barack Hussein Obama II and all of the radical anti-American, communist, neo-communist, Palestinian and Islamic terrorist individuals has come to the attention of the enfranchized American voters?
What is to be dismayed about when the truth is told?
If these are the types of people that Barack Hussein Obama has “palled around” with since his days as a student at Columbia University and right up to the present time – then there should be a great divive between those Americans loyal to this Constitutional Republic and those, like Obama and the “Friends of Obama” who hate it and seek its destruction.
This is the kind of TRUTH that will end Obama’s campaign on November 4th like a runaway train hitting an empty rail station.

Obama changes his position as often as a parent changes an infants diapers.

That same night before a crowd of liberal lefty elites in San Francisco he abandoned this postion due to political expedience, derisively accusing those same American citizens he supported in the morning of “clinging to their guns and religion.”

Really, McCain wants to go with past associations, not to mention the throwing down of the not so subtle racial quip “he doesn’t see america the way we do” says the snow white candidate to the predominantly white crowd.
Let’s talk about McCains past associations, just how many pictures of him and Bush are there? Him and Charles Keating? Him opposing MLK day and supporting the confederate flag on federal buildings. Pictures of him with David Duke, Oil company CEO’s, lobbyists etc. This reeks of desperation. He can’t win any other way so lets make america afraid of the black guy, and I’ll get a suburban white woman to do it. As far as patriotic taxes, I find it laughable that the GOP seems to find it very patriotic to pay taxes to pay for a trillion dollar war, but somehow unpatriotic to have used that same money to have paid for universal health care coverage, infrastructure here at home that could have put hundreds of thousands to work, and investment into alternative energy that would get us off fossil fuels, all of which could have been done under this administration with hat level of spending. Such programs would have been cost neutral by the end of 8 years based solely on our ability to use existing and proved technology to reduce foreign oil purchases by 50%. So when you want to associate a candidate with terrorists: associate Bush, McCain and the GOP. Thanks to them, and the war they declared that had nothing to do with terrorism, the Constitution is in shambles, our economy is near bankrupt, our moral standing worldwide devastated, and our domestic policies draconian. Thank you Bush/McCain and GOP, the terrorists have won the only way they could, they got America to destroy itself.
Mission Accomplished.

Palin is ruthless, manipulative, calculating, cold, and ambitious to a fault. She is an expert at smears and backstabbing. She knows that she’s not that intelligent so she uses her looks, her flirtatious behavior, folksy language, and her children to her advantage. Every thing Palin does is to advance the agenda of Palin. She is nasty but has mastered the art of delivering nastiness with a smile and somehow has blinded millions of people to her true character. We’ve all known someone like Palin. She’s a wolf dressed in sheep skin. Sadly, there are still so millions of people who hasn’t seen past the facade to her true nature.

Mr. Obama could not even get a basic “Secret” security clearance in the corporate or military world. His associations, his very public stance on inflammatory issues and his fractured past eliminate him from the start. But this socialist will be cleared to be the president? I think not, Wise up, America.

Palin needs to explain her own lies and coverups before accusing others in this political rat race:
Troopergate- if your innocent then testify!!
Road to No Where- our money wasted by Palin!!
Cannot remember Earmarks of the past, but she just got McCain to sign off on the new Bailout Bill that gave her state
another Earmark!!
(Alaskan fishermen will get taxbreaks, why not all the fishermen across the USA) McCain is great at covering up his and Palin’s own greed and agenda’s and when they get caught with their hands in the cookie jar, they blame the other guys or just simple say, “Thanks but no thanks was my comment”.
Does Palin not also realize that by making statements that Obama is involved with terroist that she put his whole family, children included in harms way.
What should we expect though, shes using her own children as stepping stones and playing this “soccermom” thing to the hilt. Even her smile during the debate was fake.

So Palin decides to use the guilt by association charge. Should not be surprising since this has been a tried and true of Republicanism. McCarthy did it in the 50′s. Nixon in the 60′s and 70′s. And now the “reformers”, the “mavericks”, McCain and Palin choose to use it now. However, the problem is neither McCain or Palin’s hands are clean. Let’s see…..should McCain’s adultery be a topic of consideration and the way he is first wife in pursuit of career? Should his well-known wild side in early days be part of the debate. Should Palin’s ties to witch doctor ceremonies be publicly discussed in the campaign. Should her stall tactics in the trooper gate discussion be relevant? How about her deer in the headlights answers to simple questions during interviews?
Maybe none of this is relevant. But that is what happens you go down this path…More relevant is the “maverick” McCain’s conduct during the Keating 5 banking fiasco. It is relevant because it demonstrates that McCain is either a fraud or really doesn’t understand economics. McCain no longer has anything relative to say on issues. Palin never has. America deserves better.

Nothing could be further from the truth of the matter.
First of all, Barack Hussein Obama II told a bald-faced lie to the entire nation when he responded to George Stephanopulous question about his relationship with Bill Ayres during the last primary season debate on April 16, 2008. And it was a whopper of a bald-faced lie at that.

Why did David Axelrod, Obama’s campaign

Axelrod stated that the reason Obama
associated with Ayers was that their
Children went to the same schools!
This is impossible since Ayers is 20

And Bush’s war mongering has killed thousands in a country that had nothing to do with 9/11.. So Give me a break! Palin’s 17 yr old daughter is knocked up,( I guess teaching protection was never discussed)which is very interesting her family values and all, including that she has a special needs child. So with all her events scheduled for the campaigning who is taking care of her children? Todd isn’t because he is always around. Can you say nanny?? I know several parents who are taking care of children who have special needs and they are the only ones taking care of them! So don’t say she is because she isn’t there is no time for her to do so! Oh and what about Todd? to this day he is affiliated with a group that has stated they hate America ..

Once again you McCain supporters are misrepresenting Obama’s tax plan. Capital gains and income taxes will actually provide lower income families more relief under Obama than under McCain. Even Ali Velshi on CNN showed it specifically on TV. In fact for anyone under $60k a year, it was virtually doubled tax refund under Obama. When you got to those who make over $160k, under McCain the tax refund was double, where as Obama’s refund was smaller – but still a refund! Capital gains and income tax would return to the Clinton era taxes for those making over $250k for couples and $200k for single. Oh and I believe it was under Clinton that we had a budget surplus that gave us economic prosperity in this country. So stop your fear mongering for the middle class. It is really only fearful for the upper 5% income earners in the country.

Of course Palin’s charge is FALSE. It has never been true. It has always been a LIE.
Everyone who has half a brain already know that this kind of nasty tactic of McCain-Palin is a LIE and has been debunked many times. But I guess if one has an evil heart, if one is unqualified to be VP and president, and whose campaign is in the toilet; then I guess it’s the only thing one can try to dig up. So if they want to focus their attention and energy in this direction, then I hope ALL of the American people will completely reject them.
The America people will definitely have a real clear choice – to vote for a campaign [ Bush-McCain-Palin ] that focuses on LIES, rather that putting forth an economic plan that will benefit the lives of the America people, and put the country on a better path. Or vote for the ticket [ Obama-Biden ] that has manintained focused on an economic plan and vision to bring prosperity and justice to ALL of the American people and NOT just the wealthy and well connected.
It’s time for the American people to get it right and NOT vote for McCain-Palin, instead vote for change. It’s time for this country to turn the page and seek a new and better future for ourselves and our children.It’s time for REAL change in Washington, it’s time to elect Barack Obama for president !
Obama-Biden are the wiser and stronger team to solve the crucial challenges we have in this nation and abroad !

I am disappointed in John McCain and the Republicans using tactics like this against Obama. To questions a black man’s patriotism to this country is absolutely absord. Associating him with a man who many call a “terriorist” is funny, because if you look into John McCain past he is probably associated with people of uncertain character too. As a 32 year old black woman, I am disappointed he is using Palin to do his dirty work…be a man and talk for yourself!

Ayers — Alinsky — ACORN

Lisa “Ayers — Alinsky — ACORN
OBAMA 2008? You decide.”
Palin thinks Obama palls around with terrorist? That is too funny….almost funnier than Tina Fey. That’s enough of her judgment for me…same fear tactics to be expected from Republicans. Find me one Republican comment filled with hope. Can’t find it? Cause they don’t exist! Prove me right, reds!
There’s now no doubt that McCain/Palin represent four more years of the same: the Iraq war, fear-mongering, and Republican bigotry and lack of introspection. I’m all Obama now. Good job, McCain, for driving away the independent voter. I refuse to live in fear any longer.
Let’s not forget…the biggest terrorist attack on American soil occurred during a Republican administration. Talk about selective memory.

You have an appointment? What? Yes look at the time and date in your taskbar right now? There are so many days or even moments to when your appointment happens?
It is appointed for man to die once and after this comes judgment, Heb 9:27.
Are you ready for your appointment? If you put off the decision to when your appointment happens then will you be in for a big surprise of your life, or should I say your soul. What decision, the decision to call on Jesus to save you? You and I have a problem called sin. We can either face God with our sin or we can have a substitute in our place? Jesus can be your substitute for you. Jesus can be your sin bearer. You may ask why? For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16). Jesus left heaven and came down to earth because of our sin problem to save you. Jesus died on the cross for the penalty of our sins.
Will you let him save you by calling out to him?
Your response is your responsibility.
The promise can only be yours if you tell God that Jesus died for you and that God hath raised him from the dead, you will be saved. You have the opportunity to call on Jesus to save you. here and now! Do you want to face God with your sins or do you want it known there and now between you and God that you accepted his love expressed through his son Jesus!

In a 1995 case known as Buycks-Roberson v. Citibank, Obama and his fellow Davis Miner attorneys charged that Citibank was making too few loans to black applicants, and they won the case.[3]
Also in 1995, Obama sued, on behalf of ACORN, for the implementation of the Motor Voter law in Illinois. Jim Edgar, the state’s Republican Governor, opposed the law because he believed that allowing voters to register using only a postcard would breed widespread fraud.
ACORN would later invite Obama to help train its staff. Moreover, Obama eventually would sit on the Board of the Woods Fund of Chicago, which gave a number of sizable grants to ACORN.
In 1995 Obama — along with such notables as Al Sharpton and Jeremiah Wright — helped organize the Washington, DC-based Million Man March which featured Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. Said Obama in the immediate aftermath of the March:
What I saw was a powerful demonstration of an impulse and need for African-American men to come together to recognize each other and affirm our rightful place in the society…. Historically, African-Americans have turned inward and towards black nationalism whenever they have a sense, as we do now, that the mainstream has rebuffed us, and that white Americans couldn’t care less about the profound problems African-Americans are facing.”
In the mid-1990s, Obama developed a friendship with fellow Chicagoans Bill Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn, university professors who hosted meetings at their home to introduce Obama to their neighbors during his first run for the Illinois state senate in 1996. Ayers (who contributed money to Obama’s 1996 campaign) and Dohrn had been leaders of the 1960s domestic terrorist group Weatherman, a Communist-driven splinter faction of Students for a Democratic Society. The pair had participated personally in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, the Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972. To this day, both have remained unrepentant about their former terrorist activities and their hatred of the United States.[4]
When questioned about his relationship with Ayers in April 2008, Obama described the latter as merely “a guy who lives in my neighborhood” and “not somebody who I exchange ideas with on a regular basis.” But in reality, Obama’s ties to Ayers were deep and longstanding.
In 1995, for instance, Obama was appointed as the first Chairman of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC), a “school reform organization” founded by Ayers, who would later write, in his book Teaching Toward Freedom, that his educational objective was to “teach against oppression” as embodied in “America’s history of evil and racism, thereby forcing social transformation.”
WE ARE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE IF THIS MAN GETS IN — THE POLICE KNOW IT, THE PPL WWITH BRAINS KNOW IT AND THE CIA/FBI KNOW IT. THE YOUTH ARE JUST THAT THE YOUNG BUT IT’S SAD HOW MANY OLDER PPL DON’T GET IT AND THEY SEEM BRAIN WASHED BY HIS AGENA!

AS WE ALL KNOW SHE IS IGNORANT ABOUT THE ISSUES ,SO PERSONAL ATTACKS THAT’S THE ONLY THING SHE CAN DO.

Ayers made presentations to board meetings chaired by Obama. Ayers also spoke for the Chicago School Reform Collaborative before Obama’s board, while Obama periodically spoke for the board at meetings of the collaborative … According to the documents, the CAC granted money to far-leftist causes, such as the radical Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, which …has done work on behalf of Obama’s presidential campaign.”
WorldNetDaily reported further that “while Obama chaired the board of the CAC, more than $600,000 was granted to an organization founded by Ayers and run by Mike Klonsky, a former top communist activist. Klonsky was leader of the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party, which was effectively recognized by China as the all-but-official U.S. Maoist party.” Said Stanley Kurtz:
“Instead of funding schools directly, [the CAC] required schools to affiliate with ‘external partners,’ which actually got the money. Proposals from groups focused on math/science achievement were turned down. Instead CAC disbursed money through various far-left community organizers, such as ACORN.”
A notable attendee at the aforementioned political gatherings which Ayers and Dohrn hosted on behalf of Obama in the mid-1990s, was Democratic state senator Alice J. Palmer (of Illinois’ 13th District), who quickly developed a friendly relationship with Obama. Prior to her stint in politics, Palmer had worked for the Black Press Institute and was editor of the Black Press Review. During the Cold War, she supported the Soviet Union and spoke against the United States. In the 1980s she served as an executive board member of the U.S. Peace Council, which the FBI identified as a Communist front group (and which was an affiliate of the World Peace Council, an international Soviet front). Palmer participated in the World Peace Council’s Prague assembly in 1983 — just as the USSR was launching its “nuclear freeze” movement, a scheme that would have frozen Soviet nuclear and military superiority in place.
IT’S GOING TO BE A SCARY PLACE FOR A WHITE PERSON WHO DOESN’T AGREE WITH THE REGIME. THE NBPP (New Black Panther Party) want to exterminate white people b/c of slavery! Go vote Obama and it’s the end for any of us who disagree. He has his truth squad like Hitler did, the youth vote like Hitler did, the propaganda like Hitler did, the media blackout like Hitler – get real and don’t vote for anyone if you can’t stand McCain but don’t vote a Marxist in with a hidden agenda!

TALK IS CHEAP … CHECK OBAMA’S RECORD !!!
A candidate’s track record, and associations are always a legitimate issue when running for President. Let’s take a look at the qualifications, judgement, and experience of Obama, who is running for President. Obama had 25 years to fulfill the potential he displayed as a rising start at Harvard Law School … and, how did he live up to that potential? … He chose to align himself with anti-American racist, Jeremiah Wright for TWENTY YEARS … along with Ferrahkan, Rezko, Ayers, and others. As a community organizer, he registered thousands of voters in Chicago … then, when he ran for the state legislature, he took away their votes, by disqualifying his opponent (a black woman) on a technicality. As a U.S. Senator, he voted present 160 times … he never called a meeting on the Afghanistan committee he chaired (although he NOW says we must shift all our military from Iraq to Afghanistan). He claimed Foreign Policy experience from a 9 day whirlwind photo op to 6 countries. And, he spent almost half of his tenure neglecting his responsibilities as a U.S. Senator, so he could run for President. Senator McCain served America honorably for 22 years in the military. He proved his love for America, as well as his honor, integrity and character, by refusing early release as a P.O.W., even while being tortured. He served America as a ‘contributing’ U.S. Senator, working across the aisle, for 20 years. If Obama’s Twentyfive year track record shows he lacks judgement, and can’t be trusted, who cares what he says about Health Care and the Economy! What Obama never learned is Character. He simply can’t be trusted … ask Jeremiah Wright, a friend of 20 years, who Obama betrayed for personal ambition … and, you Obama supporters really think he won’t betray you If he gets elected??? If he gets elected, you Obama supporters will be facing a HUGE disillusionment !!!

Actually, all of this seems like nothing of the sort.
Barack Hussein Obama’s associations with both foreign and domestic terrorists as well as his educational mentor and benefactor being a hard-core Marxist is based in unassailable FACTS dating back for two decades to the present.
Barack Hussein Obama is a pro-Islamist Marxist ideologue and within the next 30 days most of America will know it in detail. The days of deception are over.

DEAR people,
I love you-both Democrats and Republicans,
because you are human beings first and my fellow Americans. I’ve really been on the fence this time. I’m not really buying either side. I worry that because we so emotionally want change we could make a grave mistake, and I worry that because we are sometimes afraid of change, we could also make a grave mistake. (As for me, the one I thought I’d vote for didn’t make it to the “finals”). I feel truely STUCK with the choices left for me. The one thing that’s on my heart to say is this: Can we just for one critical, crucial time not be SO worried about our candidate and our “Party” to the degree that we are SLAMMING each other for our beliefs? Can we NOT DO THAT? When I read it on the blogs/hear it- it makes me want to run. I block you out. Give me true reason-WITHOUT all of the “screaming”!
Our country has become SO divided. A land divided against itself cannot stand. What ever happened to common courtesy, respect?
I talk with others often that don’t always share my views. I listen, and have respect for THEM. I’ve noticed that people seem to HATE people they don’t agree with. Their tone sounds uncivilized to me. I’ve had some get angry with me. WHY? Do they think this tactic will change my mind? NOT AT ALL.
What I like to know are the hard facts- not just opinions. I want information to research myself. Give me Names, Dates, Documents, Organizations, Statutes, Codes, the Cities, States, Times (not just the New York Times- ALL writing is slanted by personal opinion or background). All that one reads on the Internet is about 90% false or opinion. People are led around by the nose through it. I say that because this is what they often quote to me-hearsay! I think 90% of the people believe about anything they read (or hear). That’s sad because they’ll be misled. It’s interesting for me to note that the Word of God- the ONLY real truth as far as I am concerned notes that in the last days “that which is good will be called evil, and that which is evil will be called good. Then I look at some of the unreal current changes in our country. I am concerned for those very real unprecedented changes that WILL come. As for myself, I’m a paralegal student. I love it when people make a case, and they can back it up with something substantial-proof or personal EXPERIENCE. If they don’t, their “voice” just sound like so many others that are just words “beating the against the winds”.
It seems that people like to “hear” themselves talk alot. (This is only the second blog I’ve ever written in to). What is truth is called a lie anymore, and what is a lie is called truth. What a sad state of affairs! What a sad state for our country to be in right now. So many of us will be hurt by the economy and by WHOEVER gets into office, I believe. It just won’t matter alot at this point. I’m usually a very positive person, but I think it’s true what some are saying- “Buy Gold”. I’m watching for a dip in price. I’m listening and it sounds like true wisdom! What I’m really concerned about most at the moment for America is OUR ECONOMY. (I wasn’t for the bailout)…
From what I’ve been reading, I’m “hear-
ing” the EXPERIENCES of people in California, and I’m thinking they may be warning us about what could be in OUR FUTURE. I’m at least listening.
I didn’t see:”I’m a Republican”,either.
Concerning Mr. Obama, I am very concerned about the possibility of possible Muslim-terrorist ties, if any. I am concerned about doors being opened if that’s true, for any future hostile “takeovers”.
I’ve read “REVELATIONS”, and I don’t EVER want to surrender my belief in God to someone else’s belief in their
“God”. This is OUR COUNTRY. This is the country OUR forefathers fought for so WE could maintain OUR independence from
FOREIGN NATIONS. I pray we won’t be “bought off”, especially due to our country’s financial position. At the same time, I don’t want to falsely accuse Mr. Obama per chance this is not true. But then, I never did believe that Pesident Bush was the Anti-Christ. (Are people SERIOUS?) Or don’t they EVER read the Bible? (Must not…) What a big bunch of gossipers we’ve all become! It was probably the TERRORISTS that started the rumor.
I guess because of MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE I’m saying “WARNING”!!!!!!!! …One day I was crossing a crosswalk in a small town where I lived, (about a year ago),
and as I crossed, I noticed the man driving was wearing a black turban. I thought “He doesn’t look like he’s from here. I wonder what country he’s from? (Not too serious). I just glanced back at his license plate. Big deal, right? Not so much… The driver who WAS CLEARLY headed EAST across the crosswalk-just waiting for the green light SUDDENLY cut to the left across the turn lane and darted in and out of cars after he’d turned left almost hitting two(to turn around back to my direction). I thought to note him then! I crossed south, then crossed east to sit at my bus stop. Within a couple of minutes, I looked up to see that his car had JUMPED out from behind the long hedge to my left, and on seeing me see him- he nervously jerked his car Quickly forward and backward from behind it several times then lunged out into the traffic turnig WEST and speeding too! I went to work, and while there, my boss noted several Moslem women coming by and oddly looking into the window. That night, the same car sped across the huge parking lot out across the busy street and waited in the car (car on) for what turned out to be awhile. In the meantime, a moslem man I call Ali-kababba jumped across the street at me and swooped into the Jack-in-the-Box restaurant. He came right in after me, standing next to me.
As I bent down to put my money away I noticed his brand new tennis-type shoes-black canvass with white trim and their symbols in white on the black. Very noticeable. At the college I attend clear across town on my first day, a fully dressed Moslem women walked up to my face as I had just turned from reading something on a board in a deserted hall. She came about 6-8 inches from my face, looking me in the eyes. When I asked if I could help her, she turned on her heels without speaking a word to me and walked away. I know she was trying to intimidate me and let me know they knew where I was. Also the busses I take were suddenly filled with many of the Muslim people. They just stared at me. I’d say “Hi” to test them and they wouldn’t talk to me. We started to get “police escorts” home at night on my bus about 1/2 the way home. Maybe it was something else, but I have to wonder… Moslem women continued to peer into the shop window at work. Interesting. There’s more, but I think you get the picture. These are some very seriuos people. I DO BELIEVE that we need to be watchers on the wall, and protect ourselves! Let’s please pay attention! I’m just sharing MY EXPERIENCE. It happened Fall/2007. Not all the Moslems here are “nice”, I don’t think!
I’m not strong anti-Bush. I agree with some things and other things I don’t. Sometimes I think he is overly criticized for political gain. I’ve read and heard more of what I would consider slander from the Democratic voters than the Republican. They’re hard-hitters. I don’t like that. I’ve been honestly open this time to either side. Just give me the truth without all the “bull”, and let me decide in peace as I let you do- and please still love me as I do you.
Keeping my ear to the ground, and listening- but not believing everything I hear on either side because it’s just not all true. That’s about the ONLY thing we CAN believe, know that!…
Your friend-
Lady “C”
PS: Eeerily, before my Fiance, Bob B. passed away in 1995, he started saying to me: “Pay attention to your surroundings. ALWAYS pay attention to your surroundings. Don’t forget to do it! Promise me?”
I said “Yes. I promise”. (Trust me, I WAS paying attention to that driver)!

what about Mc Cain saying Bin Laden isnt such a bad guy in an interview in 1998 right before 9/11?
Mother Jones: You not only have had combat experience in Vietnam, but you were also a prisoner of war. When you look at terrorism right now, with people like Osama bin Laden, do you have any reservations about watching strikes like that?
John McCain: You could say, Look, is this guy, Laden, really the bad guy that’s depicted? Most of us have never heard of him before. And where there is a parallel with Vietnam is: What’s plan B? What do we do next? We sent our troops into Vietnam to protect the bases. Lyndon Johnson said, Only to protect the bases. Next thing you know…. Well, we’ve declared to the terrorists that we’re going to strike them wherever they live. That’s fine. But what’s next? That’s where there might be some comparison

More on Barack Hussein Obama:
Obama-ACORN Root Causes of Mortgage Crisis?
FBI Investigates U.S. Financial Crisis – Where Did $1 Trillion Go?
The high-risk subprime mortgage social engineering community service experiment by left-wing ACORN and Obama has created the largest financial crisis since The Great Depression. The full reach of the corruption and scandal may never be known but those who created it must not be rewarded. The architects, primarily left-wing Democrats, created laws, took donations, looked the other way and instead were too busy overseeing donations to their own presidential campaigns and robbing main street blind. Now these same left-wing Democrats blame everyone else and get up on their high horses and say, “we are here to save you” from the crises they created.
Yes, Mr. Obama knows a great deal about the mess. He is a central figure in the left-wing ACORN exploitation of financial institutions and pressuring them to make high risk loans. The very same left-wing ACORN was guilty of voter fraud in the last presidential election.
Now these same Democrats want to do another high risk “community service,” social engineering experiment. They want to elect a high-risk, low experience, socialist one of the same community organizers that created the mess to be our next president. We cannot experiment with the office of president and learn as we go. Barack Obama is not qualified and has no history of success as a leader in government or business.
The FBI investigation
An FBI investigation is under way at Lehman Brothers and three other contributors to America’s financial crisis to determine whether they put pressure on ratings agencies to award top ratings to securities they issued.
Concerns that Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, AIG or Lehman may have sought to encourage agencies to inflate their ratings – by offering higher fees or the promise of more work – form part of a broad inquiry by the bureau.
The agencies are widely regarded as having failed debt holders by attributing the top ratings to many securities that turned out to be extremely risky and have lost investors hundreds of billions of dollars.
The FBI, which is also investigating whether any of the four institutions deliberately misled investors about the true health of their assets, is expected to demand that they “hold all papers and e-mails under lock and key” as it sifts through the evidence, a source said.
FOLLOW THE MONEY AND CORRUPTION! A Lending Policy created by democrats for democrats run by democrats monitored by democrats enforced by community organizer democrats and profited from by democrats.
The following information is condensed from an article by Stanley Kurtz. O’s Dangerous Pals.
Fannie and Freddie acted in response to Clinton administration pressure to boost homeownership rates among minorities and the poor. However compassionate the motive, the result of this systematic disregard for normal credit standards has been financial disaster. ONE key pioneer of ACORN’s subprime-loan shakedown racket was Madeline Talbott – an activist with extensive ties to Barack Obama. She was also in on the ground floor of the disastrous turn in Fannie Mae’s mortgage policies.
Obama Trains ACORN Staff in Shakedown Tactics
It would be tough to find an “on the ground” community organizer more closely tied to the subprime-mortgage fiasco than Madeline Talbott. And no one has been more supportive of Madeline Talbott than Barack Obama.
When Obama was just a budding community organizer in Chicago, Talbott was so impressed that she asked him to train her personal staff.
He returned to Chicago in the early ’90s, just as Talbott was starting her pressure campaign on local banks. In those years, he also conducted leadership-training seminars for ACORN’s up-and-coming organizers. That is, Obama was training the army of ACORN organizers who participated in Madeline Talbott’s drive against Chicago’s banks.
Obama Funds ACORN
More than that, Obama was funding them. As he rose to a leadership role at Chicago’s Woods Fund, he became the most powerful voice on the foundation’s board for supporting ACORN and other community organizers. In 1995, the Woods Fund substantially expanded its funding of community organizers – and Obama chaired the committee that urged and managed the shift.
That committee’s report on strategies for funding groups like ACORN features all the key names in Obama’s organizer network. The report quotes Talbott more than any other figure; Sandra Maxwell, Talbott’s ACORN ally in the bank battle, was also among the organizers consulted.
More, the Obama-supervised Woods Fund report acknowledges the problem of getting donors and foundations to contribute to radical groups like ACORN – whose confrontational tactics often scare off even liberal donors and foundations.
Indeed, the report brags about pulling the wool over the public’s eye. The Woods Fund’s claim to be “nonideological,” it says, has “enabled the Trustees to make grants to organizations that use confrontational tactics against the business and government ‘establishments’ without undue risk of being criticized for partisanship.”
Obama Aware of Intimidation Tactics
The Woods Fund report makes it clear Obama was fully aware of the intimidation tactics used by ACORN’s Madeline Talbott in her pioneering efforts to force banks to suspend their usual credit standards. Yet he supported Talbott in every conceivable way. He trained her personal staff and other aspiring ACORN leaders, he consulted with her extensively, and he arranged a major boost in foundation funding for her efforts.
And, as the leader of another charity, the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, Obama channeled more funding Talbott’s way – ostensibly for education projects but surely supportive of ACORN’s overall efforts.
In return, Talbott proudly announced her support of Obama’s first campaign for state Senate, saying, “We accept and respect him as a kindred spirit, a fellow organizer.”
In short, to understand the roots of the subprime mortgage crisis, look to ACORN’s Madeline Talbott. And to see how Talbott was able to work her mischief, look to Barack Obama.

Carl29 gives you UNTRUTHFUL information. If you want to speak of financial loss, look at what a Republican has done in 8 years in the White House; record debt, banks going under and massive job losses.As far as health care, 3rd wolrd countries DO NOT socialize medicine’ just like us. If you are a citizen in Wesytern Nations like Sweden, Canada, France, Great Britain, etc. and get sick, you dont go bankrupt form getting care. You do here in the US if you have no job or health insurance…just like “3rd world countries”. Republicans care for only bankers, big business and the rich. They always have. They are the ones who pushed to deregulate banks and we see what that has done. McCain left his first wife for the woman he was having an affair with. Sarah Palin allegedly had a romance with her husband’s fromer friend Brad Hanson. These people preach about “family values”?!? How about McCain’s paling around with that Keating fellow ?
http://mccainkeatingfive.com/
McCain’s economic adviser is Phil Gramm. A former senator turned lobbyist who wrote a law to repeal 66 years of consumer protection laws enacted by Franklin Rooseveltafter the Great Depression. What the financial industry is reaping now are the direct results of Gramm’s Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
McCain/Palin are the gruesome twosome…

Now let me get this straight. It’s ok for Obama/Biden to make an association for Mc Cain to Bush. It’s not ok for McCain / Palin to make an association for Obama to Ayers. How is that ?

It’s about time they started getting personal. That’s what this election is about anyway, isn’t it? So many people are swayed by Obama’s personality, by the glowing image the media has woven around him. Why is it not legitimate to demand complete disclosure?
The Dems and their media lackeys are trying like hell to keep the discussion off their complicity in the ruination of our financial sector. McCain, having tried to rein them for years, should now be receiving credit for being right all along, but do you hear about this anywhere in the MSM? The whole Obama production stinks, it’s so obviously a manufactured act, and heaven forbid anyone should have real questions about his character.
I can’t wait to see the reaction to the revelations that will be forthcoming with regard to Acorn. So many people are unaware of the subversion of the mortgage industry by these socialist crusaders, including Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, and other unindicted co-conspirators. You know, the ones who were photographed smiling as we wrote them another blank check this week.

The Obama-Ayers Coverup [Update]
Will the media ask questions about the Obama-Ayers relationship and its beginnings before 1995, when Ayers helped arranged the hiring of Obama as head of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge and maintained a close relationship of its board for years?
Here are some questions the media should be asking and did not ask throughout the long primary season, abdicating its responsibility. Imagine what would have happened if the media had fully vetted Obama and practiced journalism as they should have done.
1.When did Barack Obama first meet Bill Ayers? Was it in New York City? Under what circumstances? Was it at Cooper Union when Ayers was a graduate student there and Obama at Columbia? Was it at Columbia when Ayers was at the teachers’ college?
2.Did Ayers play any role in Obama coming to Chicago as an organizer in 1985? Did the Ayers influence the Woods Fund in any way to subsidize through the Gamaliel Foundation Obama’s job? (The Woods Fund was created by the family of the Safari Coal Company, a major supplier of Commonwealth Edison, whose CEO was Thomas Ayers.)
3.Did Ayers introduce Obama the organizer to his family, his father Tom and brother John? Did they involve Obama in the school reform movement they led in Chicago?
4.Did the Ayers family help Obama become a summer associate at Sidley Austen, the father’s company’s law firm?
5.Did Bernardine Dohrn know Michelle Robinson when they both worked at Sidley at the same time? Did she or Ayers introduce Michelle to Barack at Sidley?
6.Did Dohrn, who attended the University of Chicago Law School with Judson Miner, play any part in helping Obama get a job at the Davis Miner law firm?
UPDATE: It was 40 years ago today that William Ayers was arrested at the Democratic national convention — just like the “Recreate68″ extreme-left protestors at this convention:
It was forty years ago today that Barack Obama friend and political ally, and unrepentant terrorists, William Ayers was arrested while protesting the DNC proceedings. William Ayers set no bombs that day, but he was only working his way up from petty criminal to domestic terrorist. And of course this was long before Barack Obama and he struck up the friendship that would lead Ayers to launch Obama’s political career at his house.
Still, the McCain campaign would take this opportunity to remind voters that those responsible for the violence in 1968 have since been incorporated into the party they once protested, and have been revered even by the likes of Barack Obama, and this despite the failure, in the case of Ayers, to ever apologize for the violence he committed against the American people. (Read all)
The media had better start asking these questions, and demanding answers.

TIME: OBAMA AND THE NATIONAL ANTHEM
Have a look at the photo from the October 1, 2007 edition of “Time.” It shows Obama, Hillary and Bill Richardson at the Steak Fry of Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) on September 17 in Indianola, IA during the National Anthem. Richardson and Clinton have their hands on their heart. But not Obama. Does he perhaps believe that, like wearing the flag pin, the hand on the heart isn’t “true patriotism”?
During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Men not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. — United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171.

Obama would be a great film star…
(Btw, he is the one running for President – not Satah Palin!)
1. Yes, Sarah Palin is being drug around in the dirt because she is a Republican woman and how dare the person call Sarah a Caribou Barbie! That is one of the most sexist comments, yet. Also, for the one who called her “trailer trash” that just shows to me that it is not the Republicans who are elitists but the Democrats.This should be very offensive to those whose homes are trailers and who don’t make a six figure income.
2.It keeps coming up about the Bridge to Nowhere. Obama has ALSO been in favor of MANY things and then changed his mind….Israel/Pakistan…Russian/Georgia, etc. but NO-ONE dwells on that. In fact, he can’t make a decision; he just goes with the flow after asking dozens of advisors. He is charmismatic, I will give him that but charisma isn’t what we need. Some of you mentioned that McCain’s heroism doesn’t qualify him for the White House…well,okay then…neither does being a charismatic celebrity. Obama would be a great film star. He loves the spotlight. He’s an eloquent speaker. I’ve heard that John McCain is not. Hmmm…someone who’s become good at smoothly eloquent speaking probably has learned to make words work for him and twist them when necessary and people won’t even notice.
3. I’ve noticed that some are comparing Palin’s lack of experience and background to Obama. How come they are not doing the same comparison on McCain and Obama? Why is Joe Biden not the one that is being compared to her? At least, I have not seen much to that;maybe someone can fill me in on somewhere I could see this.
4. It seems Palin has so many sins in her life and McCain, too. Then,I guess the Democrats are without sin. They are presenting themselves as perfect. Too bad the voters are not nearly as perfect as Obama. In the Bible, there was a story about an adulteress that was getting ready to be stoned to death. Jesus told them “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” The Dems have done a great job of casting the stones and hitting Palin.
And, let’s not forget the Democrat who was President, and even though I’m not a Democrat, he did a decent job of the duties in office, yet he was an adulterer while in the office that he was elected to, disappointing Americans, but in this whole election,no one, not even the Republicans (except this one) has brought that up;(which is right thing NOT to do)maybe, it is because we all have skeletons in our closet. Have you ever thought what would come out if you ran for office?
5. The newstands are full of articles tearing Palin down, but I’ve yet to see the faces of Obama (the liberal media’s little darling) or Joe Biden on the covers presented in a negative way. I agree with one blogger who said that these publications are only ruining themselves. Let’s do real journalistic reporting…report the facts, Jack on both sides, both negative and positive and let the readers decide. I would absolutely LOVE to see an article in a mag that compares Obama to McCain and in the same mag Palin to Biden, side by side on issues, skeletons in the closets, biographies, awards and honors….maybe in the form of resumes so the American public could compare and then at the polls hire the ticket they think would be the best for the job.
6. Finally, and then, I’m through. I understand it may be good to understand the candidates’ views based on their faith but it is a little undeserving to undermine one for “praying” that God’s will be done. Our country was founded on a faith in the One True God, The Creator and our laws and values were built upon the Christian faith, but now, it’s not politically correct to be a Christian,no one must renounce their deep beliefs in order to please everyone. I couldn’t see one bit of hatred in the video that has been circulating where she spoke at her church in Alaska. Praying for someone does not cause hatred or racism or sexism. Their beliefs in their faith did not say they hated gays,only that they would be praying for them. And, in the privacy of a church building, they may do whatever (within the law) that they believe. Now that Obama has disowned his pastor, no one has mentioned anymore about how that church shaped his views. They are afraid to because of the venomous rhetoric that came from the pastor’s mouth. Does anyone know what Biden believes;have they gone to a church he attends or does he attend one? What about McCain? What are his religious values? So, then, why does that play into the equation with Palin? I could understand if she were part of an anti-government,hate religion. The most she could be convicted of in her faith is saying that she believes in praying to God, asking His will for the country. Go back in history to other presidents; many were men who prayed or sought God’s will. At least, the great ones did.
Thank you, both Republicans and Democrats for letting me air my feelings. How, sometimes I wish we didn’t have parties. I can’t stand the division and hatred that ensues. Especially when we say “United we stand, Divided we fall.” Let’s just let each other vote our consciences or faith or whatever standard and quit yelling at each other. I really hope that people in other countries don’t read our comments because it will show the United States are not so united after all. And…I will be praying for this election, that God will put in the candidates He wants (and, although I will vote Republican which is voting based on my faith) I know that whichever party gets in will be because God put them there “for such a time as this” and I will relax and support the Preident of the United States and respect the office.

The cable news and satellite news have dumped CNN International in favor of BBC World News (not to be confused with BBC America).
Millions in our country have been demanding “serious news” from “serious sources” and the demand for BBC World news has been much stringer than for CNN International!

Booooo – Jon Clown – as in Jon Klein – President of CNN…
CNN: “But Obama Ain’t Palling Around With Terrorists Now!!!”
Via CNN which does a ‘fact check‘ of the Obama – Ayers connection: Verdict, the two men do not have a close relationship now, and there is no proof that they were working together closely at any point “in the last three years.”
And what sources does CNN quote to determine that Palin et al. are lying completely about the Ayers – Obama connection?
The New York Times article cited by Palin concluded that “the two men do not appear to have been close. Nor has Mr. Obama ever expressed sympathy for the radical views and actions of Mr. Ayers.” Other publications, including the Washington Post, Time magazine, the Chicago Sun-times, The New Yorker and The New Republic, have said that their reporting doesn’t support the idea that Obama and Ayers had a close relationship.
And again others did, right? Like the Wall Street Journal and National Review Online. I’m guessing that when you’re fact checking you take those reports into considerations right? Especially because they actually uncovered quite some evidence indicating that the relationship between Obama and Ayers was closer than Obama is willing to admit.
Right?
Nope. That was it. That was CNN’s ‘fact check.’ It simply repeated the conclusions of pro-Obama publications, and then concluded that the accusation is false.
Another point of significance: no one’s saying the two are close now. That’s not the point. It’s nice of CNN to try to spin this thing for all it’s worth, but the accusation is that the two had a professional relationship in the 1990s. That Obama served on the board of an education organization founded by Ayers, that the two attended meetings together, that Obama endorsed a book Ayers wrote about education, and that Ayers held a private fundraiser for Obama when the latter launched his political career.
It’s nice of CNN to swiftboat the matter, though.
Is there actually anyone falling for this ‘reporting’ and ‘fact checking’ or are the only ones accepting CNN’s words as ‘true’ those already in the tank for Obama?

UPI (United Press International)
Pawlenty criticizes Obama for Ayers event
Published: Oct. 5, 2008 at 6:24 PM
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5 (UPI) — Republican presidential nominee John McCain’s supporters Sunday took aim at Democrat Barack Obama’s association with a “domestic terrorist.”
Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, who supports McCain, criticized Obama’s association with William Ayers, whose 1960s group, the Weathermen, committed bombings on the Pentagon, the U.S. Capitol and across the nation.
“Now Barack Obama at the time was 8 or 9 years old, or whatever, but that’s not the point, the point is this same individual, Bill Ayers, hosted some sort of political event at his home for Barack Obama when Barack was running for state Legislature in Illinois when he was well into his 30s,” Pawlenty said. “It goes to the issue of what kind of judgment would allow an unrepentant domestic terrorist to host a political event for you in his home, in the terrorist’s home.”
Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, an Obama supporter, said what the voters are concerned about is the economy, not negative attacks on a candidate.
“Well, you’ve seen a 26-year Senate veteran morph into an angry, desperate candidate in the last few weeks, especially in the last few days,” Brown said of McCain “And it just kind of makes me sad … that John McCain and Sarah Palin are resorting to these tactics.”

Campbell Brown is a partisan Moron…
To Campbell Brownose: What goes around comes arouns, BABY!
Let’s Take A Look At Campbell Brown’s Family
by Dave Gibson (9/4/08)
A few days ago, CNN anchor Campbell Brown went on a very personal attack against Republican Vice-Presidential candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds was giving Brown an interview, when she decided to place the focus of the conversation on the Governor’s 17-year old daughter Bristol, who is pregnant.
Brown said: “Tucker, though, this obviously putting this young woman, Bristol Palin smack in the media spotlight at what’s already got to be a very challenging time in her life. I mean, how do you respond to people who wonder why her mother would have subjected her to this scrutiny by accepting this high-profile position?”
Brown went on to say: “I recognize that in an ideal world, it would be private. You know, this is a presidential campaign. Nothing is private. The world is watching and if we, you know, as much as everyone might want to give this young woman her privacy, you know that’s not going to happen. And so you do risk putting her through an incredibly difficult process by accepting this job if you’re her mother. You can’t deny that, right?”
Well, this is obviously not an ideal world. Nor is it any longer a world in which the press gives legitimate, unbiased coverage to any and all candidates. This is in fact, now a world in which the press has decided to join the side of the leftist Democrat Party, and attack the Republican Party. Night after night, that same press ignores the fact that Barack Obama launched his political career at the home of unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers, while attacking the parenting skills of Sarah Palin.
Since CNN’s Campbell Brown has changed the rules of the game, and it is now evidently appropriate for the mainstream media to question a candidate’s parenting skills and focus on the behavior of the candidate’s family…Then it is also fair to examine the behavior of those related to those members of the press who pose such questions.
In 2003, CNN’s Campbell Brown’s father Jim Brown served six months in federal prison, after being convicted of lying to a federal agent, during a fraud and conspiracy investigation involving Cascade Insurance Co. At the time, Jim Brown was serving as the insurance commissioner of Louisiana, a position which he was forced to resign after the U.S. Supreme Court refused his appeal for the second time. Brown continued that position’s legacy, as the two previous insurance commissioners were convicted of taking bribes and illegal campaign contributions from insurance companies, and still sit in federal prison.
So I would pose this question to Campbell Brown: Since the world is watching you…Do you think it is fair to your father to place this kind of scrutiny on him, since he is a convicted federal criminal? I mean, I know that it has to be painful for him. So don’t you think that you should have ended your journalistic career after he was convicted and resigned in disgrace? You want to be a good daughter don’t you?
We are currently seeing the most illegitimate campaign coverage in U.S. political history. We have seen so-called journalists become nothing more than cheerleaders for the left, and press secretaries for Barack Hussein Obama. In fact, I believe that the Obama campaign should have to list the glowing coverage provided by MSNBC as an in-kind campaign contribution!
I as a true conservative, now find myself in the unusual and uncomfortable position of defending the Republican Party presidential nominee. However, when the left-wing ignores major issues, and so alters their coverage to paint the Democrat as basically the next messiah, and stoops so low as to attack a child…I have no choice.
If those who often cheer for our enemies and hate this nation so much that they would refuse to report the truth as it relates to the success of our troops, as well as to the more than questionable past of Barack Hussein Obama, no one who loves this country has any choice but to support Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin.

It’s about time the mainstream press has to report Berry’s connection. He did not know Ayers when he was bombing Police Stations and the Pentagon, that is true, but O’Bama got his start in Ayers’ house. Not a passing friend. Also, why won’t Berry release his records from Harvard and Columbia? What radical past is he hiding?

Did the media or any left-wing liberals notice that Michelle Obama did not attend the “Ground Zero” Memorial on 9/11? (Cindy McCain attended… Where was Ms. Obama, who has never felt proud of her country until her Marxist hubbie started running for President? CNN had a fact check that Obama has not spoken to Ayers in the last 3 years – they had the audacity to say something like this to convince us that Obama and Ayers are not close friends…Oh, I know…the same thing with that anti-American pastor of his…Obama dumped him as soon as people started talking about that anti-American Pig – Obama’s pastor for 20+ years (we have gotten to crazy if we were to trust Obama’s judgement!)
And speaking of patriotism…Check this out…
“Lipstick and Pigs” on the Eve of September 11th…
The left-wing-liberal clowns of CNN – from Campbell Brown to even Larry King -were talking about “Lipstick and Pigs” on the eve of the anniversary of the September 11th attacks.
Shame on you CNN that you could not have at least honored this day by having perhaps a special Larry King program honoring the innocent people who died on that day. Instead, Larry King decided to address the issue “Lipstick and Pigs”. Yeah, I say that in this case the pigs were he and his two liberal witches on his panel.
Shame on you all at CNN, for being a disgrace to serious journalism – for being a disgrace in the eyes of the relatives of the people who died on 9/11, and in the eyes of our troops. You are running so freaking scared that you would not even talk about Sept. 11th…And, on top of that I heard that you had the idiot Michael Moore on the Larry King show, on the anniversary of 9/11. But that’s OK – we did not expect you to be more patriotic than your leader – Obama bin Biden!
Shame on all “24 hour News-for-Dummies networks” and their leadership, especially Jon Clown – as in Jon Klein -the President of CNN.

No one in the Keating affair was ever involved in Anti-American activity. Obama’s connection with the former radical William Ayers is Un-American. William Ayers stepped on the American Flag and everything America stands for in the freedoms provided in the American Constitution and the Bill Of Rights.
Obama does not want to understand what has caused the financial crisis and point a bogus condemning finger to John McCain. The financial crisis begins with Democrat Billy Carter and the Democrats forcing banks to give easy credit for getting mortgages. Democrat Bill Clinton and the Democrats made regulations forcing banks for make even more easy credit for person to get a mortgage.
The financial crisis is the direct cause of two Democrat Presidents forcing the banking industry to make easy credit without the need to prove repayment. In fact, the banking institutions by the Democrats prohibited redlining. Redlining is the practice of banks refusing persons with poor credit and a poor credit history. American’s poor control of buying without thought of repayment and the Democrats regulating the banks to make prim-rate mortgages is the direct cause of the financial crisis.
Obama again distorts the truth and creates confusion for the voting public. Obama is a most evil kind of candidate in the history of presidential elections. There have been lies in the past presidential elections, but Obama and his supporters get the highest marks for lies and deception.

Got a question for you Bogus Obamiacs…
What are the details of the October surprise McCain’s going to spring on Obama the end of this month?
Hint: It has to do with who his roomate was when he attended Columbia University for 2 years.
Hint: Who did Sarah Palin accuse Obama of “palling” around with?
Hint: Who did Obama say he only had a casual relationship with and only met some 10 years ago (It’s a lie!).

Ahaha..ha! Give us the scoop! I can hardly wait to hear about the details!
I am going to get some ZZZZZs now – be back later today!

All you need to know about the tenuous ‘Ayers’ connection: Where did the smear start?
April 18, 2008
PHILADELPHIA –GOP mastermind Karl Rove, commenting on Bill O’Reilly’s Fox News show on Thursday, chastised Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) for “hanging around” William Ayers.

Hillary took it and ran.. it backfired on her.
The GOP has now picked it up the dead horse, and it too will backfire on them.

There is a pattern to Obama’s associations starting with his father figure and mentor, card carrying Communist Frank Marshall Davis. The media has refused to vet him, the general public has a right to know that this man who would be prsidenent, this man who has IMMERSED himself in MARXISM for his ENTIRE life, and that his “associations” are all interrealted, everything from the Woods Foundation, to ACORN (the notorios organization of “community organizers” who are famous for serious VOTER FRAUD and who played a HUGE role in bringing down or economy with their involvment in the Fanny and Freddie mess , and who also have a PAC for Obama) . Every single bit of it is interrlated, all of those “questionable associations” and organizations are what got him where he is today.
The ONLY person in MSM who EVEN asked Obama about his Ayers connection was George Stephanopolis (sp) in a debate with Hillary on ABC, and his answer was that the guy just lived in his neighborhood and their kids went to the same school.
Let’s examine that answer: DUH. Maybe their kids went to the same school BUT IN DIFFERENT DECADES, Ayers’s kids are GROWN! What kind of a person would make that kind of dodge and why was that not even questioned. What does it say about a man to give an answer like that, making it seem like they may have run into these people at a PTA meeting or something DUH DUH DUH.
FACT: Ayers wife Bernadine Dorhn worked with Michell in the law firm where she was working when she met Obama.
FACT: Obama served on two boards with Ayers , The Woods Foundation, and The Anhenberg Challenge, both of those boards gave money to questionable organizations, including that HATEFUL RACIST church of Wright’s and a organizations associated with the PLO.
FACT: Obama launched his career from the living room of Ayers and Dorn.
The list of Obama’s radical associations goes on and on and on, and all have ties with the foundations and organizations that Obama has been involved with for over 20 years, and with the Corrupt Chicago Political Machine.
I wanted to support the first viable black candidate for President, but I can’t support this one, and it has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with racism.

This is stupid. What about her hunny belonging to the group of Alaskans wanting to succeed from the union?…. also Sarah dear if your going to use comment made by Biden ” patriotism is paying higher taxes” why dont you say it how he said it! This was not how Biden made this comment and you took if fully out of context. I am so sick of the Rove/McCain Campaign! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT HEALTH CARE? VETERAN BENIFITS? EDUCATION? Why dont you start talking about that? Oh because when you claim to be the canidate for change your just going to leave it how it is!!!

This is a sad, stupid story to tell. She is opening the floodgates for petty, uneducated diatribes: I expect this story will do nothing but release a torrent of outright garbage (citing Obama’s middle name as if it is a threat to the US or claiming he is Muslim) from idiots who feel that the bar has been dropped low enough that they can get away with it.

Posted by: Vincent Truman | October 6, 2008, 3:21 pm 3:21 pm

Reading all of these posts, I have to question how many have really been doing their research. I am very concerned about who is to be our next President and have not been impressed by either side. It is important to me and hopefully all Americans the background of those who are running. True.. Most of us have made poor choices in our life time, but we also acknowledge them and move on.
One of the things that has turned my stomach the most is the “Racism” issues.
I have MANY dear friends of all races. Slavery was wrong…there is no other answer to that. Many forget that there was people in the time of slavery that also knew it was wrong and went to battle for the freedom of Slaves. Many lost their lives fighting in what they believed.
When it comes to voting for our next president, we need to say I am voting for him because…… Is your answer one that you will be able to live with? There is alot at stake and neither candidate seems to be telling me anything! Obama changes his mind like the wind. I am not pleased at all with his votes (or lack of) in the times past. I did like what the democratic senator said about McCain when he stated that McCain agreed with the Democrate that taxes could not be raised upon fixing the “Bail-Out”. BUT..that is not enough to vote him as president????
Very Concerned About America….

I am sick to death of the cover ups, the smoke screens regarding this man Obama. NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT HIM!
Frank Raines brought this country to it’s knees regarding Fannie May, he earned $90 million from Fannie May knowing people were going to lose their homes. The biggest recipient of his largess was SENATOR BARACK OBAMA. Please get real before election day regarding this man, he is going to break our country and the reason…because he can. Who else said that when asked why he had an affair? Good old Bill. No one will need to worry about taxes, health care or this stupid Change Slogan going around. Because your employer will have to fire you because of the insane taxes of Obama. He will cripple this country. Save America from this punk, who hailed from Chicago and the corrupt machinations there, blew his way to go on the Presidential race with no one questioning his past. $33,000 had to be returned this weekend because “someone” in Palestine bought t-shirts for Obama on the internet. Palestine! The Obama team won’t release the records of the millions and millions he has received so far from donations. Who is funding his campaign? And if you think this is crazy. They said that after 911 when two planes went into the world trade centers killing thousands of people and crippling our country! How did it ever happen? EASY! Because Americans who love this country always believe the goodness in people, that the change that is coming is for the better, the man or woman running loves your country the way you do…but sometimes the picture ain’t what it seems! I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the man Barack Obama is not for the average American, he just needs your vote on November 4th and if you won’t give it, he and Axelrod have got that figured as well. They will steal that too by ACORN tactics, by voter fraud in the swing states. Busing people to the poll stations and then putting them in taxis’ to the Greyhound stations. If it wasn’t so scary and insane it would be funny. HOW DID IT EVER HAPPEN THEY’LL ASK. Because he could!!

On reading all these comments and seeing all the negative comments about Obama. There are just too many questions unanswered about this man so I have decided to vote for McCain. I was an independent in Ohio but on learning on what is happening in Ohio I cannot give my vote to a man like Obama. Thank you all so much for helping me make up my mind. This man needs to be stopped getting into the White House and the only way we can do it is to make sure we tell everyone we meet about him.

CBS Poll Obama 47 McCain 43.
I told you. Prepare to lose this election. Governor Palin is turning it on in the heat. She’s going to smile and wink and tell America about Obama’s associations… and win this election for McCain.
You can’t win. Obama is too radical leftist and the gloves are off.
He’s a racist radical with terrorist ties. He is a danger and a national security threat. America deserves better than Obama… and Main Street America doesn’t want a radical left communist for President.

Let the fear-mongering shift into full force! Try finding any Republican support on this board that shows otherwise. Conservatives post a hopeful comment? Impossible!
I love love, LOVE Republicans quaking in their boots about Sen. Obama…after eight years of Bush, it’s about time for karma to come back around. Keep the bigotry and fear alive, reds…it’s what you do best. Your last candidate did a bang-up job, literally. Plus, the polls seem to show you are doing McCain no favors with your fear-induced attacks.
Sen. Obama owes you all a debt of gratitude for making the choice abundantly clear. You are now, thankfully, IN THE MINORITY!!!

Did Obama have a sexual relation with Larry Sinclair or not?
Obama is a very weak candidate to be president. He voted 13 times as Present to avoid taking on any heavy
duties in Illinois. Like it was above his pay-grade. He refused to prosecute the gang wars that was destroying the city because he feared that it would be seen as discrimination against the blacks.. He has been linked to Resko, Rev Wright, and to Larry Sinclair whom he was said to do drugs with and to have had a sexual relationship. The media: Ifill, Catie, Schaeffer, Stephanapolus don’t want to investigate this allegation because it’s like wildfire and would be seen as racist. My family and our community cannot vote in this election until that is investigated as truthful or erroneous for once and for all. Larry Sinclair had a U-tube video stating that they did drugs and had an Oral sexual contact, and he is willing to take a polygraph test to that effect. We noticed how the media went after Palin to find out all the dirt, and we want an answer on the dirt on Obama before the election is completed.
That poll today conducted by Reader’s Digest was voted on by Muslins of those
Countries mentioned- remember they have a larger muslin population than America. Obama will be their choice just for that reason alone.

As an Obama supporter, I want to personally thank the Republican bloggers for all their hard work over the past few months to truly help prove the point of the Democratic ticket. Your campaign of bitterness, fear-mongering and shadow bigotry have helped turn the tide for Obama in every battleground state. I’d like all my fellow Obama/Biden supporters to join me in saying, “Kudos to you, Republican bloggers, we couldn’t have done it without you!”

shrley_richard spat: “That poll today conducted by Reader’s Digest was voted on by Muslins of those Countries mentioned- remember they have a larger muslin population than America.”
Hey, your ignorance is showing:
muslin (plural muslins)
1. A term used for a wide variety of tightly-woven cotton fabrics, especially that used for bedlinen.
I’d like to see this linen population of which you speak.
Don’t worry, your children will have the benefit of better funding for education under Barack Obama, so they won’t have to embarrass themselves in public forums the way you have done with your 3rd grade intellect.

Rezko: That would be the best news for this country. Obama is letting Rezko take all the blame but I am aware of the fact that he is involved someway. And according to the Keating scandal McCain came out clean and never did anything wrong. So that leaves Obama with one of the worst scandals of a candidate running for president. Obama, Farrakhan and Ayers all live around each other. In fact, Farrakhan lives next to Ayers. America better wake up or we are going to suffer at the hands of Obama if he is elected.

Loveit: I have news for you I am not among the minorities like Obama is because I am white. Obama is a half breed, not white or black but Mulatto. And race is not an issue in this campaign. Obama’s problem is he want’s to control this country like Kenya has a dictator. If you think you have it bad with Bush you haven’t seen anything yet. If they don’t impeach him don’t worry someone will get to him themselves.

Hello America,
Can we ask Sarah Palin to start speaking English? Much as we may pretend to excuse her grammatical suicide, what in God’s name is palling?
She used impact as an adjective, adverb,
noun and pronoun….all in one sentence during the debate.
Before she associates Obama with a terrorist, she needs look no further than her bed.
For her demented and selective amnesia, here is a question for Falling Sarah Palling Palin…does Ayers 60′s extreme views make Northwestern University, the student body and their parents all terrorist by association?
God bless America, God save the World.

Let’s keep score. Criticizing Obama means we’re racists. Criticizing Congress means we’re racists. Getting angry at Congress for pushing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into buying bad loans and infecting the entire financial system with essentially fraudulent paper — at a cost of up to $700 billion in taxpayer money and potentially trillions in lost investments — means we’re racists.

Barack Hussein Obama actively sought and received the stamp of approval of a Marxist third party that operated briefly in Chicago between 1992 and 1998.
The New Party was a Marxist political coalition whose objective was to endorse and elect leftist public officials — most often Democrats. The New Party’s short-term objective was to move the Democratic Party leftward, thereby setting the stage for the eventual rise of new Marxist third party.
Most New Party members hailed from the Democratic Socialists of America and the militant organization ACORN. The party’s Chicago chapter also included a large contingent from the Committees of Correspondence, a Marxist coalition of former Maoists, Trotskyists, and Communist Party USA members.

to me politicians in general are professional liars. The republicans on the other hand, should open a university and give degrees in lying. That’s how fantastic they are at it. I’v watched Palin and McCain repeat the same lie over and over and over even if independent fact checkers say they’re lying; Even if there’s tape prooving they’re lying. It’s like they’re asking. Are you gonna believe me or your lying eyes.? They are fundamentally evil.

Tajjee,
The word ‘palling’ is an informal verb in the American English language.
“pal
pal /pæl/ Pronunciation Key noun, verb, palled, pal·ling.”
No charge for the English language lesson. Have a nice day.
