Palin Plays Fear Card on Obama
ABC News’ Imtiyaz Delawala Reports: Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin invoked fear for the first time when discussing Sen. Barack Obama’s connection to former 60’s radical William Ayers.
“I am just so fearful that this is not a man who sees America the way that you and I see America — as the greatest source for good in this world,” Palin said of Obama to 2,000 supporters at a rally in Clearwater, Florida this morning. “I’m afraid this someone who sees America as imperfect enough to work with a former domestic terrorist who had targeted his own country.”
“This, ladies and gentlemen, has nothing to do with the kind of change that anyone can believe in, not my kids, not for your kids,” Palin added.
While Palin had raised Obama’s connection to Ayers at rallies and fundraisers in the last two days, she had never said she was “fearful” in her remarks until this morning.
Obama has charged before that the McCain campaign would attempt to make voters “scared” of his candidacy.
“They know that you’re not real happy with them and so the only way they figure they’re going to win this election is if they make you scared of me,” Obama said at a rally in Rolla, MO on July 30. The McCain campaign dismissed the charge at the time, calling it “baseless.”
Palin also accused Obama of being “less than truthful” about his connection to Ayers, calling him one of Obama’s “earliest supporters” for hosting a 1995 meeting that launched Obama’s bid for the Illinois State Senate.
“Barack Obama says that Ayers was just someone in the neighborhood. But that’s less than truthful,” Palin said. “His own top advisor said that they were, quote, "certainly friendly." In fact, Obama held one of the first meetings of his political career in Bill Ayers’s living room. And they’ve worked together on various projects in Chicago.”
Standing on stage in front of a riser of supporters wearing red, white and blue shirts to make out the image of an American flag, Palin told the crowd it “may get kind of rough” for the next 29 days before Election Day on Nov. 4.
“Florida, you know that you’re gonna have to hang onto your hats because from now until Election Day, it may get kind of rough,” Palin said, prompting a supporter to yell out, "That’s alright.”
After Palin’s attacks this weekend connecting Obama to Ayers, the Obama campaign today began hitting Sen. John McCain on his role in the Keating Five scandal, launching a 13-minute video called "Keating Economics: John McCain and the Making of a Financial Crisis."
In an interview with New York Times columnist William Kristol yesterday, Palin questioned why the McCain campaign was not also connecting Obama to his controversial former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
"To tell you the truth, Bill, I don’t know why that association isn’t discussed more, because those were appalling things that that pastor had said about our great country," Palin told Kristol. The McCain campaign has said they will not go after the relationship because Obama has publicly disassociated himself from Wright.

“I am just so fearful that this is not a man who sees America the way that you and I see America — as the greatest source for good in this world,” Palin said…
As a Christian, I have to say Palin’s words – and she supposedly calls herself a Christian – are offensive.
Anyone who thinks the United States is the greatest source of good sounds more to me like an aethiest.

I do not believe she is playing the “fear” card…she is trying to bring the truth to the surface. Obama has been lying to the public and getting away with it.”Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments” words spoken by terrorist Bill Ayers.
Barack Obama has dismissed inquiries about his relationship with Ayers, a founder of the Weather Underground, by saying that he was just “a guy who lives in my neighborhood.”
FACT- Obama served from 1995 to 1999 as chairman of the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC), the brainchild of Ayers, an organization that funneled some $100 million into the hands of community organizers and activists, including ACORN, in order to radicalize Chicago’s public schools.

This is a desperate move for a party and campaign in REAL trouble. Maybe we’d better look at where Palin comes from. I quote her minister:
Reverend Muthee’s own words,
Jesus into all aspects of society for the transformation. Said that we need true believers in the bsns. world. Said God wants true believers, Christians, in the political world so they can “change the laws of the land”. Said we need true believers who can “take over” our school system—-the need for the 10 Commandments to be part of our educ. system. Then children will not be taught about other religions which poison their minds.
Said Christian true believers need to invade the media and Hollywood.
Said we need born again Christians like Sarah in government and in other high positions such as Sec. of State and we need to pray for Sarah to ascend.
He asked that all pray for Sarah to rid the world of witchcraft and to turn the nation around, in the name of Jesus, Hallelujah.

Here is McCain on when to use Armed Forces – August 1, 2000:
LEHRER: .. when should the United States deploy its armed forces abroad, and what criteria should be used? Are you comfortable with the decision-making that would – that a Bush-Cheney- Powell triumvirate would make?
McCAIN: Yes. I’m extremely comfortable and basically it’s when American interests and values are threatened. And sometimes when our values are threatened, over time our interests can be threatened. I can’t make an argument to you that Kosovo posed an immediate threat to our national interest. But I can argue that it offended our values to a degree that if allowed to go unchecked, then unrestrained, once Milosevic started to do his ethnic cleansing, then sooner or later our interest would be threaten because that same kind of scenario would transpire in other places in Europe.

Dear sweet little adorable Sarah…
Since we’re talking about guilt by association, I am sure that you will not be upset when the Democrats start airing ads showing that your husband was a member of a group that favored Alaskan secession from the United States.
People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones……
Let not forget Sarah Palin association’s with the radical Alaska Independence Party that wants to secede from this great country, the United States of America.
And here is a quote from Alaskan Independence Party founder Joe Voegler:
“The fires of Hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government, and I won’t be buried under their damn flag!”
I wonder how Palin explains her husband”s verified membership in the “ALASKIAN INDEPENDENCE PARTY?” Seems she doesn”t believe in the UNITED States of America, does she??
and also don’t forget McCain’s pastor(s) the one who said New Orleans desrved what it got, it was punishment from God….
hey Sarah, go ahead and bring up Obama’s pastor…
I’ll take an angry marine pastor over some witch doctor…

—OBAMA
“That anger is not always productive,” Obama asserted. “Indeed, all too often it distracts attention from solving real problems; it keeps us from squarely facing our own complicity in our condition.”
Why, then, given this call to reject “a politics that breeds division, and conflict, and cynicism,” did Obama establish a long-lasting working relationship with unrepentant former terrorist William Ayers?
Obama dismissed inquiries about his relationship with Ayers, a founder of the Weather Underground, by saying that he was just “a guy who lives in my neighborhood.”
In fact, Obama served from 1995 to 1999 as chairman of the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC), the brainchild of Ayers, an organization that funneled some $100 million into the hands of community organizers and activists, including ACORN, in order to radicalize Chicago’s public schools.
Between 1969 and 1974, the Weather Underground claimed responsibility for some 20 bombings in the United States — at police stations, banks, jails, courthouses, the Capitol and the Pentagon. Ayers became a fugitive in 1970, reports Andy McCarthy at the National Review, after three of his cohorts were “accidentally killed when the explosive they were building to Ayers’ specifications — Ayers was a bomb designer — went off during construction.”
The explosive, a nail bomb, “had been intended for detonation at a dance that was to be attended by army soldiers at Fort Dix, New Jersey,” reports McCarthy. “Ayers attested that the bomb would have done serious damage, ‘tearing through windows and walls and, yes, people too.’”
Ayers, describing the Weather Underground as “an American Red Army,” motivated by “hope,” succinctly summed up the organization’s mission: “Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments.”
“I don’t regret setting bombs,” Ayers told The New York Times in September 2001. “I feel we didn’t do enough.”
Ayers, in charge of shaping CAC’s education philosophy, describes himself as “a radical, Leftist, small ‘c’ communist.” Rather than focusing on anything as mundane as math or reading, the job of teachers, said Ayers, is to “teach against oppression.”
Ayers “downplayed achievement tests in favor of activism,” writes Stanley Kurtz, a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center.
“Ayers wrote that teachers should be community organizers dedicated to provoking resistance to American racism and oppression,” reports Kurtz. “He believes teacher education programs should serve as ’sites of resistance’ to an oppressive system.”
The question: Why do Obama’s deeds contradict his words? Is anyone in the mainstream media curious??

“Patriotism is the last refuge to which a scoundrel clings” – so said Samuel Johnson, who a few hundred years ago, and was a few hundred times smarter than Sarah Palin.
Really, seriously, this is her attack? ” Barack Obama is not as American as you and me – I’m AFRAID of what he’d do to America.” This is ugly and divisive. It is also fear-mongering and racist. It is, as Dr. Johnson would note, phony patriotism. It is also cynical political posturing and manipulation.
Yep, John McCain, this is a real HONORABLE campaign you’ve got going. And Sarah Palin, your wind-up doll, is beneath contempt.

Palin is no Christian. Jesus said: ‘Heal the Sick’. Republicans say: ‘socialist’
Specifically, Palin flat out lied when she characterized Obama’s plan as ‘government taking over health care’.
The TRUTH, as any Christian would have to acknowledge, is that Obama thinks that EVERY AMERICAN should have the option to sign up for the same health plan enjoyed by John McCain and every other member of the Congress, at a discount for those who cannot afford it, IF THEY CHOOSE TO DO SO.
John McCain wants to TAX your employer supplied health insurance, in an attempt to force you and your family to give up your employer provided health insurance and take your chances in the marketplace, WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF AN EMPLOYER’S PURCHASING POWER.
Of even greater concern, John McCain thinks that insurance companies should be regulated by a friendly state OF THEIR OWN CHOOSING, one with ZERO consumer protections, simply by reincorporating in that state.

Attacks on Obama are all weak guilt-by- association arguements.
However, McCain is 100% guily of aiding and accepting money from the key player in the S&L scandal – Keating. This is fact.
Attacks against McCain aren’t guilt-by-association. It was his own involvement. It was McCain’s BAD JUDGEMENT. And he was 54 years old at the time. (Old enough to know right from wrong I would hope)
And “Maverick” supported the actions of Bush and Cheney as they ignored subpoenas put forth by our government. (Just like Palin)
Sarah Palin is CURRENTLY under investigation for ABUSE OF PUBLIC POWER. Just like Cheney and Bush, she thinks the office is a place for her to settle personal vendettas and run her private agendas.
She has repaetedly put friends in government positions for which they were not qualified. (Just like when Bush placed Brown in charge of FIMA)
Oh, gosh darn, what good little “honorable” Republicans.
How Palin’s first son? She claims she eloped because they couldn’t afford a wedding. Isn’t it odd that her son was born 7.5 months after she got married?
But abstenece works right? Hypocrite!
McCain and Palin – REPEATED BAD JUDGEMENT, CERTAINLY BAD FOR AMERICA!

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) on Monday is launching a multimedia campaign to draw attention to the involvement of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in the “Keating Five” savings-and-loan scandal of 1989-91, which blemished McCain’s public image and set him on his course as a self-styled reformer.
Pushing back against what it calls McCain’s “guilt-by-association” tactics, the Obama campaign overnight began e-mailing millions of supporters a link to a website, KeatingEconomics.com, which will have a 13-minute documentary on the scandal beginning at noon Eastern time on Monday. The e-mails urge recipients to pass the link on to friends.
————
This is why Obama wants everyone’s text message and email………….. the drama is building for a bloody fight until Nov. 4th.
yep, obama hung out with all his cronies, and now, he’s starting to get the payback he deserves, I hope it drags him down where he belongs in the gutter with all the hate spitting spew he hangs with even today

Obama believes correctly that the middle class is the economic engine of not only our country but the world…
so saying he is going to raise taxes on them is a lie.
same as the last 8 years
one candidate protects the rich and says as his team has said for decades as they controled the top 5% tax burden growth to half of the growth rate of the rest of America….and says without the rich doin better and better… you all will suffer…
the other protects everyone else and says to the rich…without them doing well you will suffer.
guess what today proves
Obama is right.
Capitalist democracies only workl when they are touched by true grace
not the bologne coming out of Palin’s idiot mouth.
Posted by: dl | October 6, 2008, 12:56 pm 12:56 pm
I just read this morning that employees in Palin’s administration agreed to make statements to the troopergate probe on Sarah Palin. I bet this will take over the news shortly and will overtake anything this mad woman is saying now. This is old news fellow democrats. I believe people are fed up with Republicans at this point and want a change. You can only run a Karl Rove tactic once and it worked. Fool me once shame on me. Fool me twice shame on you (or is the other way around). Anyway, Obama will win this election because HE IS CHANGE! Voters are solidifying behind the Obama/Biden ticket.

Ayers was considered a radical during a time in this country where civil rights were non existent. Our country discriminated against an entire race of people. THose radicals were arrested for reacting to the lack of humanity and civility reserved to those of the majority. No one talks about that. It in essence is the entire issue regarding Ayers we would like to call him a radical and terrorist but if we look deeper- how many people would just sit quietly and let their rights civil and financial disapate- oh yeah we did when we elected and supported G. Bush’s policies.

Pickler would crush her in a debate.
and I trust pickler with a red button and believing in facts first.
2 things no one really trusts Palin with.
If Palin was a character in a film …she would be a bogart from Harry Potter. The scariest thing anyone can imagine come to life.

This is a clear example of playing a race card. They have no ideas. They don’t want to talk about the issues because their proposals won’t work. They don’t want to talk about their records because those records prove they won’t do anything for America.

Sarah Palin is pretty much a dead horse right now who can still keep flogging. If people didn’t believe her before, she thinks that they will start believing her now.

Let’s talk about McCain’s ties to Gordon Liddy, which are much closer than Obama’s to Ayers, (yikes) or his ties to the Keating scandal, the Italian playboy con artist he partied with on a yacht, Richard Quinn (another white supremist), Hagee (who he courted before he repudiated), John Singlaub of Iran-Contra fame, and the U.S. Council for World Freedom. Moreover, didn’t Cindy McCain steal drugs and ruin lives during the cover up? Didn’t her father have mob ties? Let’s talk about all that. And wasn’t Todd Palin a member of the AIP, and a follower of Vogler? And doesn’t Sarah Palin have a few bizarre pastors and witch-doctors in her closet? Does Palin support Stevens or doesn’t she? Isn’t it interesting that John, Cindy and Sarah have all been involved in legal, abuse-of-power type scandals (for Palin, see TrooperGate) but Obama hasn’t– so the only way to get dirt on him is to play blame by association? I hope people can see through the blatant hypocrisy. The Keating Five scandal is more relevant than anything the McFailin camp can come up with, because it does pertain to the current economic crisis and it highlights McCain’s utter incompetence and lack of credibility on economics, regulation and reform.
McCain lacks honor.Don’t believe me? Then, please be sure to read the current issue of Rolling Stone. There’s an enlightening article regarding the Make Believe Maverick online. It’s worth reading. There’s a pattern here.

When politicians concoct stories in order to deceive the public, attempting to destroy anyone who rejects it. Their words do not make someone a god nor entitle them to be worshipped; rather, the way they use great power is the measure of how they should be revered.

You Obots seem to think that O’s questionable associations begin and end with Ayers, they don’t and that’s the problem. Ayers is just one of MANY questionable associations. Do a little research. One or 2 qa’s maybe, but dozens…really get some info into your brains.

You’re assuming most Americans give a rat’s behind about what us junkies write on these message boards.
I’m guessing right now most Americans are a little more interested in the economy than the political games.
Will the media follow Palin down this fear-mongering path? Sure. As will the blogs… and us.
But most voters will only look at this news coverage and shake their heads at our inability to keep our eyes on the ball.

It’s not the “fear” card. It’s the TRUTH CARD. The media has been hiding basic and very important facts about Obama. NOTHING is more important for Americans than protecting themselves and their children from terrorists and others who are desperate to harm us. Obama’s anti-America friends and his Marxist leanings make him extremely dangerous.
Additionally, his slogans (CHANGE, YES WE CAN, etc.) and his talking points are very similar to those of Chávez, Morales, Correa and other Latin American leftist presidents-turned-dictators who are ruining their countries and working with terrorists against the United States.
People need to know the TRUTH so they can make an informed decision.

If Palin had a brain, then she could offer her opinion, but since she is an airhead who doesn’t know a Supreme Court Decision. She didn’t know the name of the current Commander in Afghanistan. She named a guy McClellan who died 100 years ago. Since she is currently under investigation for Abuse of Authority. Since she stole over $44,000 from Alaskan taxpayers to pay herself per diems designated for travel.
Since she fired a good employee for a personal vendetta. Since she lied about killing the Bridge to Nowhere, even when they showed her herself supporting it. Since she kept the 200 Million dollars after Congress stopped it. Since she ran a commercial vowing to stop Earmarks except that she received 100 Million in 2007 and requested over 200 Million in 2008, which is more per capital than any other state in the United States, She has NO CREDITIBILITY. NO TRUTH. NO INTELLIGENCE. NO INTEGRITY AND NO PLACE NEAR THE WHITE HOUSE EXCEPT TO VISIT AS A TOURIST.

By the same Yardstick, Sarah Palin should either get out of the race or dump her husband. Since she is guilty of continuing to sleep with a person who has ties with the group who want to fight for Alaska’s independence from US.
Refer to the article from NYtimes:
In the mid-1990s, the Alaskan Independence Party was experiencing a boom of sorts. A governor had been elected on its ticket in 1990, when the party was not even a decade old. And membership was swelling.
Among the new recruits was Todd Palin, whose wife, Sarah, would later become governor of Alaska. The Palins attended the party’s convention in their hometown, Wasilla, in 1994, according to party officials, where the party called for a revote on statehood and a draft constitution for an independent Republic of Alaska. Mr. Palin joined the party.
Ms. Palin remained a Republican and never joined the Alaskan Independence Party, but returned to its convention in 2006 to speak as candidate for governor. After she had been elected, she recorded a video greeting that was played at the party convention this year. “Good luck on a successful and inspiring convention,” she said. “Keep up the good work, and God bless you.”
Now that she is the Republican nominee for vice president — for a campaign whose motto is “Country first” — the couple’s interaction with the Alaskan Independence Party has gotten attention because of its reputation as a secessionist group.
Alaskan Independence Party officials released a statement Monday saying that Ms. Palin had been a member for two years, from 1994 to 1996, information included in reports in The New York Times and other news outlets. In Internet videos of recent party meetings, other party officials can be seen boasting of Ms. Palin’s past membership.
On Tuesday, though, the party’s chairwoman, Lynette Clark, said the earlier statement was false. Ms. Clark said that she had based it on information another party member had given her, but that a review of the records showed only that Ms. Palin had attended the 1994 conference.
Ms. Clark added that while the review confirmed Todd Palin as a member, it did not indicate that Ms. Palin had been one.

Dear sweet little adorable Sarah…
Since we’re talking about guilt by association, I am sure that you will not be upset when the Democrats start airing ads showing that your husband was a member of a group that favored Alaskan secession from the United States.
People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones……
Let not forget Sarah Palin association’s with the radical Alaska Independence Party that wants to secede from this great country, the United States of America.
And here is a quote from Alaskan Independence Party founder Joe Voegler:
“The fires of Hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government, and I won’t be buried under their damn flag!”
I wonder how Palin explains her husband”s verified membership in the “ALASKIAN INDEPENDENCE PARTY?” Seems she doesn”t believe in the UNITED States of America, does she??
and also don’t forget McCain’s pastor(s) the one who said New Orleans desrved what it got, it was punishment from God….
hey Sarah, go ahead and bring up Obama’s pastor…
I’ll take an angry marine pastor over some witch doctor…

Please do not turn a blind eye to this FACT. Now if you are aligned with his way of thinking and don’t think his radical friends will influence his Presidency, then by all means vote for him.

Why did McCain vote “no”? It was a stand alone Bill. Does he support domestic terrorism?
The Senate voted overwhelmingly today for a Federal law to prohibit bombings, arson and blockades at abortion clinics, and shootings and threats of violence against doctors and nurses who perform abortions.
The vote was 69 to 30. Twenty-eight senators who voted against Federal financing of abortions six weeks ago supported the measure, seeing it as a law-and-order matter rather than as an abortion issue.

John McCains stand on Taxes – Feb. 2, 2000
JIM LEHRER: There was a suggestion today from some of Governor Bush’s supporters that maybe you’re not really a true blue Republican, that some of the things you support like campaign finance reform and your opposition to tax cuts are more like Gore and Bradley and Clinton and Democrats than Republican.
SEN. JOHN McCAIN: Well, I’m much more like Ronald Reagan, actually, than the present hierarchy of our party. I’m for tax cuts, but I’m for working Americans. Governor Bush wants to give 38 percent of his tax cuts to the wealthiest 1 percent. I want to give it to working families.

Looks as if McCain has taken a rest to get a bile infusion for the debate tomorrow night.
Meanwhile, the big war hero has the nasty little skirt out doing his dirty work for him.
On Wednesday, Mean Girl’s Texas friends will try to get the state Supreme Court to stop the Alaska’s Republican Legislature from issuing its report on her multiple abuses of power. No chance.
Then there is the investigation into her Workman’s Comp scandal.
So all her sound and fury is to divert attention from our hearing the toilet flushing down her governorship.
Those two will get theirs.

Palin can’t stomach the idea that Obama had crossed paths will Ayers a “domestic terrorist” who bombed the Pentagon and the capitol, in protest to the Vietnam war over 40 years ago, but noone was injured.
“Palling it with terrorist” as Palin puts it is rather stretching it.
If Obama is guilty by association then so is the University of Chicago, all its affiliations including students, fellow lecturers, the governments education department, which means Bush is also guilty by association!
Palin is probably ignorant of the fact that Israel, the country that Palin repeatedly says is America’s closest ally and calls the good guys,once had as their Prime Minister ,Menachem Begin, a man who was responsible for bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946 killing 91 people and injuring 45.
So by Palin’s simple headed thinking, the Nation of Israel must now be “pally with terrorists” too since they let one become their Prime Minister.
So Ms.Palin you call Israel the good guys despite their terrorist past?

I’m fearful of someone who could be a heartbeat away from the presidency having consorted with known separatists that advocated Alaska seceeding from the U.S. I’m fearful of someone who shoots animals from the air. (What part of that is sporting?) I’m fearful of someone who may become the president having been involved and censured for the Keating scandal. Works both ways. They really need to start talking policy and what they plan to do about the fiscal crisis in this country and not this B.S. fear-mongering.

McShame is a pathetic, pathetic man. He has nothing to offer America except rhetoric so he wants to tear down a man that the country it intrigued with, and can provide us with a brighter future. McShame has nothing, and he realizes that the country is aware of this which is why he is pulling out of swing states.
I see a landslide coming for Obama. McShame should hope we let him stay in this country after he looses the election!

Just to set the record straight – Ayers is a professor at UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS, CHICAGO CAMPUS. This means that he is not employed by a private university, but a PUBLIC one paid for by Illinois taxpayers.
If that doesn’t point to his rehabilitation and acceptance in Chicago (these remarks fell lin the primary against Hillary, also), I don’e know what does.

McShame should be ashamed of himself. He was part of a racial far right group and got the nerve 30 days before the election, even though it has already been brought up, because he wants to change the talk of the election because most Americans know Conservatives can’t be trusted w/ money. If anyone could remember the past 8 years, then you would remember that we are doing extremely horrible in the economy. If you think Johnny McShame is going to change the principles of his party, think again. Everything Obama is saying is what the Democrats believe and the same thing Clinton passed when we had a surplus. I know conservatives don’t remember what that is like, but that is when the federal budget is balance and we actually make more money than we spend. Whats even more funny is John keeps talking about the same tax cuts as President Bush gave. He couldn’t even lie about having a new tax code? he lies about everything else…

I see you quoting scripture over Barack Obama. I don’t think that’s going to work. The scripture is for Christians against their enemies. Barack Obama states that Jesus Christ is not the only way of salvation. That means he’s not a Christian. Now, he lies and says that he is. The facts and what he says don’t line up.
The scripture is for Christians. Barack Obama is not a Christian. He can’t deny Jesus Christ as the only Way of Salvation and honestly claim to believe in Jesus Christ as the only Way of Salvation at the same time.
Don’t believe Jesus Christ is the only Way of Salvation?? NOT a Christian.
A new ager?? Possibly or probably. Christian?? No.
Jesus Christ said anyone who is not for me is against me.
Barack Obama is the enemy of Jesus Christ. Obama says Jesus Christ is not the Only Begotten Son of God and the Only Way of Salvation.
Barack Obama is against Christ – not for him.
The scripture doesn’t stand. It does not apply to Barack Obama.

After all, it is not the President who screwed up this country, it is all the idiot Senators and Congressmen who really make the decisions and put us in this mess. The President really does not hold much power. Did everybody forget basic high school government? Now they want to make the two Senator Team the overall leaders? People do not like Palin because they are afraid somebody new just might make the right choices and push back on the morons in the Senate and Congress. When it comes down to it, we are all screwed no matter who ends up there, but even worse if the Dems are the final vote cast by scared citizens who really have no clue and only listen to Obama speaking to what everybody wants to hear, and not what he will really do to us all. He knows of the 57 Islamic states (and trys to say he was tired), but hahs no idea what to do with the 50 US states he is supposed to know and love. He will probably make his Secretary of State, Obama bin Laden!

There was a monetary and political relationship between Ayers and Obama.
Obama sat as a chairman on a CAC board that Ayers created. Obama, from his position, “voted” for money to go to Ayers’ programs through the CAC.
A LOT of money went to political allies of OBAMA through the board of the CAC that AYERS got funding for.
The CAC via AYERS and OBAMA funded RADICAL LEFT SOCIALIST MARXIST programs to make radical leftists out of public education students. If Obama was so “against” the political philosophy of Ayers, the US MARXIST TERRORIST, why did he fund “education camps” created to make radical leftist Marxists out of our youth??
Oh, this all matters. These are facts.
Obama is a radically left Marxist – or he should have used better judgment than to be such a monetary and political croney of Ayers for so many years – resulting in Ayers launching Obama’s political career from Ayer’s living room.
Nice try at whitewashing away the truth.
We have real concerns about Obama – and he should be nowhere near the Presidency.

McCAIN: Yes. I’m extremely comfortable and basically it’s when American interests and values are threatened. And sometimes when our values are threatened, over time our interests can be threatened. I can’t make an argument to you that Kosovo posed an immediate threat to our national interest. But I can argue that it offended our values to a degree that if allowed to go unchecked, then unrestrained, once Milosevic started to do his ethnic cleansing, then sooner or later our interest would be threaten because that same kind of scenario would transpire in other places in Europe.

There will be NO election… This I promise you. Economic state of emergency to suspend election. Bank holiday to be announced where you wil be barred from access to your money and given ten cents on the dollar for the value of your old account balance, in the new AMERO currency. It’s coming. Bush/Cheney are going nowhere if they feel that McCain can’t win. Realize this and take appropriate actions to prepare for what’s to come! While your dollars can still buy something!

On March 17, 1997, I was called for duty by who I�ll always affectionately refer to as the �Fab Five�. The idea and necessity of a black left formation had been germinated by Abdul Alkalimat, Bill Fletcher, Manning Marable, Leith Mullings and Barbara Ransby. Their proposal for a gathering of forces from across the spectrum of the Black Left was introduced to what came to be known as the �Continuations Committee�, a larger group responsible for taking the process to the next level.
google Obama Ransby. Obama’s former college classmate in Columbia moved to Chicago with him snd started the racist Black Radical Congress!!!

Obama claims to have never heard these
comments! Yeah Right!
Obama has associations with Jim Johnson
who is involved in the Countrywide Financial Scandal and was involved
with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as was
another Obama associate, Bill Raines!
These associations are tied directly to
Obama’s character and judgement and they are ver important qualities to
consider when choosing a president!
I didn’t even mention Tony Resko yet!
Obama’s feet must be held to the fire
on these associations and not
dismissed as “smear tactics” or

Ayers is white – but he’s a radically left pro-Black Panther Marxist. He’s racially radical.
The Weatherman bombed a US Judge trying a Black Panther – cuz Ayers is a white racist who is pro Black Panther.
That’s Obama’s “friend”.
Obama is radical… and he’s dangerous.
He may have teh black vote radicalized… but trust me, Main Street cares that he associates so with radical racists.

I have to confess that I am scared if I watch the video “Sarah Palin’s Churches And The 3rd Wave”. Did you watch it? Sarah Palin belongs to a endtime-church which breeds apostels whom they send out to govern and to rescue Christians -real Christians- but they decide who is one of them…. So I am sure they would not deem me one and I really don’t know if you would be accepted by them. Maybe yes, but maybe not.
This church is a very divisive affair, and as I feel it a very dark affair too. I am also very scared of Sarah Palin’s witch hunter priest.

Spare me. If Obama had a radical son who associated with terrorists – I wouldn’t hold that against him.
My concern is that Obama himself is the radical racist Marxist – whose trying to fool us all about how radical he really is.
His associations prove his character and what he’s really for.
We need to know more about him – and what we see is not good.
Main Street white America that Reverend Wright so hates – is not going to vote for Obama.
No way. I don’t know any white people that would vote for him once they know this about him… unless they are radically left.
Democrats will leave the ticket when they find this out. It’s right there. He went to church 20 years under Rev. Wright.
This is a real issue. If we have a radical leftist who secretly hates white America – like Rev. Wright preaches and the preaching Obama sat under for 20 years…. I don’t think a person he hates should vote for him, do you??
I don’t think he’s moderate. I think he’s a racist and radically left and Marxist. That’s my opinion of Obama.
Oh, and he thinks he’s God.
That’s the real Obama, imo.

Charlie Keating, the banker and anti-pornography crusader, would ultimately be convicted on 73 counts of fraud and racketeering for his role in the savings-and-loan scandal of the 1980s. That crisis, much like today’s subprime-mortgage meltdown, resulted from misbegotten banking deregulation, and ultimately left taxpayers to pick up a tab of more than $124 billion. Keating, who raised more than $100,000 for McCain’s race, lavished the first-term congressman with the kind of political favors that would make Jack Abramoff blush. McCain and his family took at least nine free trips at Keating’s expense, and vacationed nearly every year at the mogul’s estate in the Bahamas. There they would spend the days yachting and snorkeling and attending extravagant parties in a world McCain referred to as “Charlie Keating’s Shangri-La.” Keating also invited Cindy McCain and her father to invest in a real estate venture for which he promised a 26 percent return on investment. They plunked down more than $350,000.
Unfortunately, any lessons McCain learned from the Keating scandal didn’t affect his unbridled enthusiasm for deregulating the finance industry. “He continues to follow policies that create the same kind of environment we see today, with recurrent financial crises and epidemics of fraud led by CEOs,” says Black, the former S&L regulator. Indeed, if the current financial crisis has a villain, it is Phil Gramm, who remains close to McCain. As chair of the Senate Banking Committee in the late 1990s, Gramm ushered in — with McCain’s fervent support — a massive wave of deregulation for insurance companies and brokerage houses and banks, the aftershocks of which are just now being felt in Wall Street’s catastrophic collapse. McCain, who has admitted that “the issue of economics is not something I’ve understood as well as I should,” relies on Gramm to guide him.

Since we’re talking about guilt by association, I am sure that you will not be upset when the Democrats start airing ads showing that your husband was a member of a group that favored Alaskan secession from the United States.
People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones……
Let not forget Sarah Palin association’s with the radical Alaska Independence Party that wants to secede from this great country, the United States of America.
And here is a quote from Alaskan Independence Party founder Joe Voegler:
“The fires of Hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government, and I won’t be buried under their damn flag!”
I wonder how Palin explains her husband”s verified membership in the “ALASKIAN INDEPENDENCE PARTY?” Seems she doesn”t believe in the UNITED States of America, does she??
hey Sarah, go ahead and bring up Obama’s pastor…

As soon as a black leader is affliated w/ black parties he’s a radical racist with all these ideas… isn’t hard to be a racist when your mother is white? wait let me say this again BARACK OBAMA’S MOTHER WAS WHITE… so this radical black thing is nonsense… plus who are the white racist in America talking to when you’ve demoralized my people since you brought us over here. Of course most black people think that white people are crazy and are looking for anyway to frame them… it’s been happening for 200 years and we haven’t forgotten. I know some white people think they are better than us because of the color of their skin but when we arrive at the pearly gates, color won’t have anything to do with getting in. The white people in America have shown their true colors and it just seems to me the more conservative they are, the more racist they are… its 2008 people… wow!

Look at it this way. If McCain sat for 20 years under a “white power” preacher who preached for 20 years against “black America”… and was clearly racist… do you think black people would be smart to vote for him??
Do you think they would???
Why should white Americans vote for Obama?? He sat under a preacher for 20 years that preached racial hate towards us as white Americans.
We shouldn’t vote for him on that basis alone.
He obviously enjoys listening to hate speeches about us. He probably secretly hates us himself.
I think the racism of Obama is a fair issue and as a white American, I don’t wnat to vote in a racist who sat under a preacher for 20 years preaching hate towards white Americans.
And the Ayers/Obama connection just makes that all the more clear.
I don’t think white people are going to be pulling the lever for Obama – not because we are racist – but because he is.
He could be moderate and it wouldn’t matter. I’d vote for a black person. I just won’t vote for a black racist who sat under Rev. Wright for 20 years preaching hate for white America.
No way. This is a real issue. Main Street needs to really not vote for this guy – and understand his character revealed by his associations.
That’s my opinoin. Voting for Barack Obama is the same as voting for David Duke. They’re both radical racists.
I wouldn’t vote for either one of them.
I really think this is the real Obama: radical racist.

I don’t care what shape the economy is in. Obama hasn’t proven any ability to do anything. He has no proven track record of accomplishing one thing.
But he does have a proven track record of associating with radical racists.
I don’t think anyone who doesn’t support radical hate should vote for him… because he sat under the preaching of Rev. Wright for 20 years.
We don’t in mainstream America agree with preaching hate against white America. No way.
I don’t want a racist for President.

The white people in America have shown their true colors and it just seems to me the more conservative they are, the more racist they are…
Don’t racists tend to over generalize and lump a whole group together?

He did do some time, now he just teaches and still hates the country.

Actually, Sen. Obama promised to cut taxes and to “fix” social security. The problem I have with those promises is:
(a) They are mutually exclusive – you can’t do both; and
(b) The next president will inherit a huge debt – there’s no way you can cut taxes like that.
So, my question is this – is Sen. Obama just naive (which scares me) or is he just saying whatever it takes to get elected (which actually scares me more). This man is really starting to concern me, and the fact the media does not seem to be willing to do its job to investigate him, as they have with all of the other candidates, really puzzles me.

Just to put this whole new McCain camp’s smear tactics in perspective for everyone — a top McCain strategist recently commented on their new smear strategy:
“It’s a dangerous road, but we have no choice,” a top McCain strategist told the Daily News. “If we keep talking about the economic crisis, we’re going to lose.”
We will have to ask them why they think they will lose if we keep talking about the economic crisis?

That’s all they got on Palin.
She wasn’t endorsed by Hamas and Farakan.
She didn’t get her property for 300,000 under market value thanks to a felon.
She didn’t not hold hearings on the war in Afghanistan.
She wasn’t part of the Black Liberation Movement church for 20 years.
Why is all this money from overseas coming in for Obama and they are not reporting it?
Israel will not wait long to act once Obama is elected.

Not to defend what Wm. Ayers did in the past, but he was never convicted of anything. He is a university professor. Obama was 8 years old when Ayers belonged to the Weathermen. McCain, on the other hand, was a bosom buddy to domestic economic terrorist Charles Keating, who runied the lives of thousands.

TJ, THE CLINTONITE and other fearful persons:
I have to confess that I am scared if I watch the video “Sarah Palin’s Churches And The 3rd Wave”. Did you watch it? Sarah Palin belongs to a endtime-church which breeds apostels whom they send out to govern and to rescue Christians -real Christians- but they decide who is one of them…. So I am sure they would not deem me one and I really don’t know if you would be accepted by them. Maybe yes, but maybe not.
This church is a very divisive affair, and as I feel it a very dark affair too. I am also very scared of Sarah Palin’s witch hunter priest.

Fearful people:
Moreover am I very disturbed to hear what the founder of the Alaskan Independence Party, Joe Voegler said:
“The fires of Hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government, and I won’t be buried under their damn flag!”
Sarah Palin’s husband was their member 1995-2002, Palin adressed them in a very friendly manner in June 2008. Two thousand and EIGHT.
So I am very concerned about that too.

“You must fear the truth– Mack”
Uh, no. I never said I fear anything.I think the association game is silly. A distraction. And I think playing on people’s fear is desperate and besides the point. Nice twist of words and logic though. You’re a fantastic represenative for McFailin and his sidekick. I love that your doggone logic is as circular, dishonest, shallow, and ridiculous as Failin’s. Fersure. However, I find it intriguing and kinda bizarre that so many of the people commenting are terrified of “intellectual” and left-leaning associations, on the one hand, but not associations with extreme right wing racists and fascists on the other. Personally, I think all politicians know thousands and thousands of people, and we need to look at who they really are, what their policies and plans are, and whether or not they have the intellectaul capacity, knowledge, judgment and temperament to be president– not who’ve they’ve met or worked with or whatever. The association by blame game insinuates they’re gullible and incapable of making up their own minds about things. Kinda funny, given their running for POTUS. It’s a very strange barometer to me, and I’ve wasted too much time on this nonsense already today, but I guess I wanted to make sure both sides were represented. McCain and Palin do not represent my world view, and also, I think the swift-boat stuff dumbs us all down. Bravo to all the Obama voters who are making much the case much better than I am.
One more month! Fingers crossed for a clean sweep.

True Ayers was not convicted.
In 1970, Ayers, along with wife Dohrn, were indicted for inciting a riot and conspiracy to bomb government buildings. Dohrn WAS convicted; Ayers was NOT. However, Ayers remains unrepentant, telling The New York Times in 2001, “I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.”

Keep quoting your polls, they mean nothing. Obama might be ahead but in every battleground state according to legit Pollsters (Rassmusen / Zogby) either McCain or Obama are within 3-5 points of each other. There is something interesting about all these polls and maybe you are too stupid to figure this out the undecided are between 8-12%. Today listing to several live shows where the media went to small town America many said they were still undecided but when asked if they had to vote today, whom would they pick, the majority of them (80%) said McCain! I would be extremely worried right now if I were Obama because the undecided voters are very much leaning McCain. You would think at this late stage Obama the Almighty would be up 20% points, but fact is it is he is not! I am sorry to say but come election day you are all going to be very upset because Obama is not going to win! The American people are not going to put this man in the White House, he is too radical and deep down I am sorry to say they are not going to pull the lever for a Black person. Obama’s Democratic colleges have raised this issue in order to try and sway people, but fact is they are exactly right! So quote all the polls you want my friends unless Obama is up by 15% points he is not going to win this election, and that is a fact!

You can see this simply by watching how people treat other people and how they treat their staff. Is it may way or no way, or is there a little more communication?
For a change why not look at it this way without your favourite prejudice?

Sean Hannity, a Roman Catholic all his life, denies being a child molester. The rumors about him being a child molester appear to devolve from the extraordinary number of times he was “in contact” with leaders of the church. There is no reason to believe that Hannity has continued the practice of so many of the priests of the Roman Catholic Church with whom he was involved, of molesting the children with whom Hannity has come in contact. Further, Hannity has always dismissed suggestions that he is a child molester as absurd and originating with people who disagree with him politically. Wiile I do not agree with him politically, I find it un-American to continue arguing that Sean Hannity is a child molester. As far as I know.

While you’re at it, read up on McCain’s voting record on any issues, especially though how he’s voted for our troops and veterans. His record, like the man, is shameful. And shame on anyone posting here who actually would put this country into the hands of McCain/Palin. Clearly, you people don’t put country first. You put prejudice first.

You see Paul in my 67 years of living I have been most fortunate to travel the world and see with my own eyes what the rest of the world is really like, have you? I believe that if you had you might have a different opinion of your country, the country that every one else is trying to get into. Have you ever been to a swearing in of Aliens who are about to become citizens? Not a dry eye in the crowd Paul. So Paul, let us know or write to Sarah Palin your self and tell her what country it is that she should honor so as not to be considered an atheist. I am also a Christian and I thank GOD every day for his gift of America to the world. Lately though I pray more for his mercy on on us because I believe we are squandering that great gift and we will soon loose our selves to corruption, greed, and GODlisness thru all other sorts of evil. As a reader of Revelation I do not believe that Obama is the Anti Christ as some do but I do believe that he is an example of what that entity will be like The world will swoon at his feet and marvel in his in the belief that the messiah has come. Woe be it on to us. But untill the REAL MESSIAH comes I like many in America will be most vigilante with a Bible in one hand and a gun in the other, loaded by the way!

Somehow it is good that all those fears come up once more now. Because then they can be addressed directly.
But let us not forget what the McCain campaign itself stated: if we stay on economy, we loose. We have to turn the page and draw Obama as someone untrustworthy, not ready to lead etc. etc —- all those things that make him seem an impossible choice.
Character assassination.
Means, they don’t take you really serious after all. If they would they would be concerned about you and the economy and how you are going to keep your job, pay for your gas etc. . But their solutions serve for the top 5% and not us. That is why I wonder why you would give your life for them, or almost. Because they certainly don’t.

Communist Ties?
Cliff Kincaid, president of America’s Survival, has teamed up with Herbert Romerstein, a former investigator with the U.S. House Committee on Un-American Activities. Both have compiled evidence of Obama’s past ties with Communist Party figures. Kincaid says while a teenager in Hawaii, Obama was mentored by a Communist Party USA member known as Frank Marshall Davis. “He was a Stalinist agent. And this is a fellow who clearly had a major influence over a young Barack Obama,” he points out.
Davis most likely filled Obama with anti-American thoughts and ideas, Kincaid contends.
Kincaid says their evidence then documents how Obama went off to college where he became friends with various Marxist professors and attended socialist conferences. After college, Obama returned to Chicago and began his political career. “And lo and behold, he lands right in the middle of another communist network,” he continues.
According to Kincaid, this new association involved the former members of the Communist Students for a Democratic Society, and the Weather Underground terrorists Bernadine Dohrn and Bill Ayers.
“These people … launched Barack Obama’s political career in their own home,” he details. Kincaid hopes the media will ask Obama to explain his past associations with these individuals.

Obama want to play the documentary game, there is a big fat documentary waiting about him and his associates and by the way, where is the Birth Certificate and the College Transcripts and the Thesis, we are still waiting on all of these things.

Palin embarasses true Christians with lies and sarcastic, mean-spirited attacks. The greatest lesson of Christ is that we love one another. We know that Obama and Biden lead with integrity, intelligence and judgment. As for Ayers, In 2001, he published Fugitive Days: A Memoir. Much of the controversy about him is connected with his interview with the New York Times about his book. The interview was done prior to and was published, by coincidence, on September 11, 2001. Ayers wrote a Letter to the Editor of the New York Times on September 15, describing the interview as: “This is not a question of being misunderstood or ‘taken out of context’, but of deliberate distortion.” He has explained multiple times that by “no regrets” he meant that he didn’t regret his efforts to oppose the Vietnam War, and that “we didn’t do enough” meant that efforts to stop the war were obviously inadequate as it dragged on for a decade; the two statements were not intended to be converted into a wish they had set more bombs.

Follow the Money
More than half of the whopping $426.9 million Barack Obama has raised has come from small donors whose names the Obama campaign won’t disclose. And questions have arisen about millions more in foreign donations the Obama campaign has received that apparently have not been vetted as legitimate.
The FEC has compiled a separate database of potentially questionable overseas donations that contains more than 11,500 contributions totaling $33.8 million. More than 520 listed their “state” as “IR,” often an abbreviation for Iran. Another 63 listed it as “UK,” the United Kingdom.
Until recently, the Obama Web site allowed a contributor to select the country where he resided from the entire membership of the United Nations, including such friendly places as North Korea and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Unlike McCain’s or Sen. Hillary Clinton’s online donation pages, the Obama site did not ask for proof of citizenship until just recently. Clinton’s presidential campaign required U.S. citizens living abroad to actually fax a copy of their passport before a donation would be accepted.
With such lax vetting of foreign contributions, the Obama campaign may have indirectly contributed to questionable fundraising by foreigners.

Hey ABC….it was 20,000 not 2,000….move that comma over and add a zero. You do know how to add a 0 right? Is adding a 0 too conservative for you. Jeeez, you think you could actually hire good copywriters up there in NYC.

Follow the Money
More than half of the whopping $426.9 million Barack Obama has raised has come from small donors whose names the Obama campaign won’t disclose. And questions have arisen about millions more in foreign donations the Obama campaign has received that apparently have not been vetted as legitimate.
The FEC has compiled a separate database of potentially questionable overseas donations that contains more than 11,500 contributions totaling $33.8 million. More than 520 listed their “state” as “IR,” often an abbreviation for Iran. Another 63 listed it as “UK,” the United Kingdom.
Until recently, the Obama Web site allowed a contributor to select the country where he resided from the entire membership of the United Nations, including such friendly places as North Korea and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Unlike McCain’s or Sen. Hillary Clinton’s online donation pages, the Obama site did not ask for proof of citizenship until just recently. Clinton’s presidential campaign required U.S. citizens living abroad to actually fax a copy of their passport before a donation would be accepted.
With such lax vetting of foreign contributions, the Obama campaign may have indirectly contributed to questionable fundraising by foreigners.

That is why the McCain campaign sent their people to Alaska to hijack the investigation. The Alaskans complained about that in the Anchorage Daily News, asking what all these people from Washington want here……………If you are looking for fascism, look for the right signs and in the right places.

Republicans, with the eager assistance of Bush Dog Democrats, have done their best to destroy our country in the name of patriotism. Now they are desperately trying to help you forget that a vote for McCain is a vote for the same cabal of thieves who have run us into the ground.
Remember, you aren’t just voting for the ticket, you’re voting for the entire party. And in case you haven’t noticed, the GOP doesn’t think they’ve done anything wrong.
Begin the healing – vote Democratic next month. Then follow up with a focus on purging the party of right wing fanatics that have gratefully wallow in neoconservative stench.

Does anyone else think it’s creepy that Obama has a channel on 24/7 all about him and that there are small children singing songs of praise on a video for him and that there are many Obama Youth groups in school that wear military gear? All of this is too reminiscent of the communist countries who brainwash their kids. I’ve seen similiar video from Cuba, North Korea and China. It’s very eerie when I see a video just like it with American children.
I sense our country is going to go in a different direction if Obama is elected, just not the direction our fore fathers planned.

This back and forth could probably be settled by answering the following. Are past associations more compelling issues than Christian and family values?

This isn’t about fear…it’s about judgement and character!
Obamas’ world view has been warped by the tutelage of the Marxist professors he sought out in college…
Warped by a 20 year relationship with a radical mentor in Jeremy Wright who preaches hatred of this country and happily gives editorial space in his church newsletter to Hamas…
Warped by a decades long relationship with William Ayers and his wife. The sad fact is BO would proudly stand on a stage with a man who would proudly stand on the American flag (http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/31476_Ayers_Was_on_Woods_Fund_Board_with_Obama_When_He_Stepped_on_Flag) and then he has the audacity to come before the American people and tell them he’s the one more qualified to protect and defend that flag.

“….I also believe that Senator Obama served on a board with Mr. Ayers for a period of time, the Woods Foundation, which was a paid directorship position.
And, if I’m not mistaken, that relationship with Mr. Ayers on this board continued after 9/11 and after his reported comments, which were deeply hurtful to people in New York and, I would hope, to every American, because they were published on 9/11, and he said that he was just sorry they hadn’t done more. And what they did was set bombs. And in some instances, people died. So it is — I think it is, again, an issue that people will be asking about. ” — Hillary Clinton 2008

After reading all the comments on this thread, It brings the reality that there will never be harmony in this current world. Everyone has their own subjective thoughts, their own views about right and wrong, their own moral compass. I wonder if we are able to have complete objectivity, not letting our own world view or subconscious prejudices determine how we will vote. Negativity breeds negativity and in this turbulent economic time we should be looking at the candidate who actually cares about the stability of our country. Sadly it may not be none of the current candidates. I get the feeling that die hard rebublicans will vote rebublican even if Hilter was running for president and the same goes for democrats. Scarry actually to know that we as humans can become programmed robots. I know those of you reading this may think I sound dreamy or that I am not in touch with reality, but I would like to think that one day, everyone would be on the same page. In this current world I know this will never happen; because since the beggining of time humans have been in conflict with one another. I pray that whoever our next president is will bring a sense of accord to the American people,that we all innately want the same things (The American Dream) and that if we share that dream, there should be no reason that anyone is left behind. Not to sound apocalyptic, but we all invitably have an appointment with death and I am glad to know that there is something better waiting for us. One day there will be no more division; the very thing that has corrupted the heart of man will be removed. Once again I dont mean to throw religion into this thread, but there is a truth that exist outside the realm of man, a truth that will renew all things. I have faith to know that one day there will be no more negative compaigns or divisive arguments. One day christ will return. Now I know that there are some of you who think that this stuff is just some theological doctrine, but look at the world and all the evil that permeates our society. It would be dreadful indeed to think that this world is the only one we will ever know. I hope that I have not offended anyone. I just looked to the day when I will be able to call all of you friends
Here is a quote for from the Thin Red Line Very insightful. I pray for everyone who on this thread and that God reveals to you the truth of eternity. Cheers!
“This great evil where does it come from? How did it still into the world? What seed, what root did it grow from? Who is doing this? Who is killing us? Robbing us of light and life. Mocking us with the sight of what we might have known. Does our ruin benefit the earth, does it help the grass to grow or the Sun to shine. Is this darkness in you to? Have you passed through this night?

There is a direct correlation between the DOW JONES index and the polls. As soon as McCain’s poll numbers improve the economic indicators will improve again. To put it simply the markets are reacting badly to the idea that Obama the thug is leading in the polls.

Point of parliamentary procedure.
Ladies and gentlemen, I’ll be brief. The issue here isn’t whether Ayers blew up a statue half a century ago. He did. But you can’t hold an entire University of Chicago faculty responsible for the actions of one. For if we do, then shouldn’t we blame the whole fraternity system?
And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn’t this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Sarah – isn’t this an indictment of our entire American society?

Avalon,
I suppose this will depend on how you define moderate….
But here are a few quotes from his Senate webpage:
“In the first two weeks of the 110th Congress, Senator Obama helped lead the Senate to pass the Legislative Transparency and Accountability Act, a comprehensive ethics and lobbying reform bill, by a 96-2 vote. This landmark bill was signed into law by the President in September 2007.”
“Working with Senators Akaka and Craig, Senator Obama passed legislation in December 2006 to provide comprehensive services and affordable housing options to veterans through the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Housing and Urban Development and nonprofit organizations. This legislation was signed into law”
“Senator Obama cosponsored the Combat Meth Act, which provides more money for fighting methamphetamine (meth), tightens controls on the sale of meth ingredients, and provides assistance to the children of meth abusers. The legislation would limit access to cold medicines containing pseudoephedrine, the primary ingredient used to make methamphetamine. This bill passed the Senate and became law in the 109th Congress.”
Those seem like moderate positions to me.

I’ve been watching McCain’s speech on TV for the past 20 minutes, while I watch the stock market ticker indicating the Dow is down over 500 pts. He has spent the whole speech attacking and talking about Obama, and haven’t said anything specific about what he would do to help the nation get out of the economic mess! John McCain’s campaign has now revolved around Obama, instead of himself. This man has turned into a joke, a shell of his 2000 self. What a shame, I used to have so much respect for this man, and was willing to vote for him before!

‘Obama was perfectly aware of Ayers’ radical views, since he read and publicly endorsed, without qualification, Ayers’ book on juvenile crime. That book is quite radical, expressing doubts about whether we ought to have a prison system at all, comparing America to South Africa’s apartheid system, and contemptuously dismissing the idea of the United States as a kind or just country. NYT Shane mentions the book endorsement, yet says nothing about the book’s actual content. Nor does Shane mention the panel about Ayers’ book, on which Obama spoke as part of a joint Ayers-Obama effort to sink the 1998 Illinois juvenile crime bill. Again, we have unmistakable evidence of a substantial political working relationship.” by Stanley Kurtz

Berg vs Obama Update 6 Oct 2008
This morning, prominent Philadelphia attorney and former Deputy Attorney General for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Philip Berg filed a Motion for Leave to File an Amended Complaint in his ongoing case against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama and others, arguing that Obama is in fact not a natural born United States citizen and, pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution is ineligible to serve as president of the United States of America.
In the amended complaint which Berg is seeking to file in the wake of a motion to dismiss filed on September 24 by Obama and the Democratic National Committee and his own Opposition and Brief filed last week, Berg added a few claims and a few defendants, as well as rehashed the original allegations made more than a month ago in the initial complaint.
Berg is seeking, among other things, an order that Feinstein and the Rules Commission–along with the FEC–immediately conduct an investigation into “the fraudulent tactics of Obama” and into his citizenship status as well.
“The Senate should be investigating qualifications for higher office and for the Senate itself,” Berg said. “We’re thinking, at this point, that Obama is an illegal alien and therefore should be arrested, tried and deported. He certainly cannot hold his Senate seat.”
The Court has not yet ruled on the Motion to Dismiss in Berg v. Obama.

If Barack Obama ever “worked with Bill Ayers” at all it was in 2001 when they were both board members of the Woods Fund of Chicago.
——–
Does Gov. Palin mean to suggest that the Woods Fund http://www.woodsfund.org/
is a radical, terrorist organization?
————–
Here is an excerpt from their mission statement. The Woods Fund is…
“a grantmaking foundation whose goal is to increase opportunities for less advantaged people and communities in the metropolitan area, including the opportunity to shape decisions affecting them. The foundation works primarily as a funding partner with nonprofit organizations.”
This is the kind of charitable activity that strikes fear in the hearts of Gov. Palin and Sen. McCain?
Pretty conventional, pretty staid stuff.
BTW: Here are the other “dangerous radicals” who worked with Billy Ayers when he was on the board at the Woods Fund in 2001:
* Howard J. Stanback – Board Chair – Manager, New Kenwood, LLC
* Maria G. Valdez – Board Vice Chair – Attorney-at-Law Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund
* Cynthia M. Campbell – President, McCormick Theological Seminary
* R. Eden Martin – President, Civic Committee And The Commercial Club
* Suzanne Boyle, Board Treasurer
* Kristin Patton, Board Secretary
Presumably all of these people should be arrested, and the Woods Fund should be shut down owing to its association with one…
“William C. Ayers – Distinguished Professor Of Education, University Of Illinois At Chicago”
…who was also member of the board in 2001.
———-
While we are at it, any and all professors at the University Of Illinois At Chicago should also be dismissed…
…for their association with Bill Ayers.
Time for a witchhunt!

Richard Nixon inspired my interests in conspiracy theories.(heh) I’ve been fascinated with this campaign and had this gnawing feeling about it, since the beginning, that I just couldn’t figure out. So I started reading and researching as much as I had time for. There are just too many coincidences in this unraveling tale of Obama, going back to his Mother, Father, and Franklin Marshal Davis; Ayers/WU, Ali Abunimah, Rashid Khalidi, Saul Alinksy, The Woods Foundation, CAC, ACORN, Public Allies, Cloward-Piven Strategy, Occidental, Columbia U, Pakistan, Harvard. The visual and emotional focus/nature of his campaign. Things don’t just happen, they happen for a reason. IMO he is a tool for anarchists. A Manchurian candidate. Oh! Is that too strong? Sorry. It’s how I see it.

Sen. Obama is a poised, articulate, and charismatic politician who demonstrates by his record and his rhetoric that he would lead the United States into socialism as quickly as possible. He advocates compulsion, disguised as compassion.

Another Associate
Nadhami Auchi, a former Baathist party member and close confidant Of Saddam Hussein, was tried along with Hussein for the assassination plot against the Iraqi Prime Minister Abdul Karim Qasim in 1959.
After leaving Iraq in 1979, Auchi formed the General Mediterranean Holdings company which was the largest private shareholder in the Banque Nationale de Paris. BNP later merged with Paribas to form BNP Paribas. At the insistence of Saddam Hussein, billions of dollars from the Oil For Food tranactions would be funneled through the company from it’s inception in 1995 to 2001. As a result, millions of dollars were diverted for Saddam Hussein to curry favor with the UN, possibly reaching all the way up to Kofi Annan’s son. This was exposed in 2004 by the Iraqi newspaper Al-Mada which published a list of 270 Food For Oil beneficiaries. In 2003 Auchi was convicted of fraud; he is currently appealing the charge.
Auchi is linked to Obama through Tony Rezko. It is believed that Rezko contacted Obama to help Auchi obtain a visa to enter the US in 2005 after being denied a visa the previous year. It has not been proven at this time and Obama has denied helping Auchi. As of Feb 2008 the Times of London has reported that “state documents in Illinois recording that Fintrade Services, a Panamanian company, lent money to (an) Obama fundraiser in May 2005. Fintrade’s directors include Ibtisam Auchi, the name of Mr. Auchi’s wife.” Auchi also transferred 3.5 million dollars to Rezko in order to invest in Rezko’s 62 acres of prime real estate in Chicago’s south loop. Apparently Obama and Auchi met at a party in 2004, however Obama has no recollection of meeting Auchi.

Here is McCain on when to use Armed Forces – August 1, 2000:
LEHRER: .. when should the United States deploy its armed forces abroad, and what criteria should be used? Are you comfortable with the decision-making that would – that a Bush-Cheney- Powell triumvirate would make?
McCAIN: Yes. I’m extremely comfortable and basically it’s when American interests and values are threatened. And sometimes when our values are threatened, over time our interests can be threatened. I can’t make an argument to you that Kosovo posed an immediate threat to our national interest. But I can argue that it offended our values to a degree that if allowed to go unchecked, then unrestrained, once Milosevic started to do his ethnic cleansing, then sooner or later our interest would be threaten because that same kind of scenario would transpire in other places in Europe.

HP, since Richard Nixon inspired you about conspiracy theories, have you looked into the strategies espoused by Palin’s church?

John McCains stand on Taxes – Feb. 2, 2000
JIM LEHRER: There was a suggestion today from some of Governor Bush’s supporters that maybe you’re not really a true blue Republican, that some of the things you support like campaign finance reform and your opposition to tax cuts are more like Gore and Bradley and Clinton and Democrats than Republican.
SEN. JOHN McCAIN: Well, I’m much more like Ronald Reagan, actually, than the present hierarchy of our party. I’m for tax cuts, but I’m for working Americans. Governor Bush wants to give 38 percent of his tax cuts to the wealthiest 1 percent. I want to give it to working families.

Black Radical Congress [Mission]
From the Black Radical Congress, 16 March 1998
Our Mission
Black people face a deep crisis. Finding a way out of this mess requires new thinking new vision, and a new spirit of resistance. We need a new movement of Black radicalism.
We know that America’s capitalist economy has completely failed us. Every day more of us are unemployed and imprisoned, homeless and hungry. Police brutality, violence and the international drug trade threaten our children with the greatest dangers since slavery. The politicians build more prisons but cut budgets for public schools, day care and health care. They slash welfare yet hire more cops. The government says Working people must pay more taxes and receive fewer services, while the rich and the corporations grow fat. Black people and other oppressed people have the power to change the way things are today But first we must unite against the real enemy.
Now is the time for a revival of the militant spirit of resistance that our people have always possessed, from the Abolitionist Movement to outlaw slavery to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s, from Black Power to the anti-apartheid campaign of the 1980s. Now is the time to rebuild a strong, uncompromising movement for human rights, full employment and self-determination. Now is the time for a new Black radicalism.
If you believe in the politics of Black liberation, join us in Chicago in 1998 at the Black Radical Congress-. If you hate what capitalism has done to our community – widespread joblessness, drugs, violence and poverty—come to the Congress. If you are fed up with the corruption of the two-party system and want to develop a plan for real political change, come to the Congress. If you want to struggle against class exploitation, racism, sexism and homophobia, come to the Congress. The Black Radical Congress is for everyone ready to fight back: trade unionists and workers, youth and students, women, welfare recipients, lesbians and gays, public housing tenants and the homeless, the elderly and people on fixed incomes, veterans, cultural workers and immigrants. You!
Sisters and Brothers, we stand at the edge of a new century. The moment for a new militancy and a new commitment to the liberation of all Black people, at home and abroad, has arrived. Let us build a national campaign toward the Black Radical Congress, setting in motion a renewed struggle to reclaim our historic role as the real voice of democracy in this country. Spread the word: Without struggle, there is no progress! Now’s the time!

Guess how many of these people are associated with Obama

Milwaukee’s top election official announced plans to seek criminal investigations of 37 ACORN employees accused of offering gifts to sign up voters (including prepaid gas cards and restaurant cards) or falsifying driver’s license numbers, Social Security numbers or other information on voter registration cards.
ACORN’s political arm endorsed Obama in February and has ramped up efforts to register voters across the country. In the meantime, completely ignored by the mainstream commentariat and clean-election crusaders, the Obama campaign admitted failing to report $800,000 in campaign payments to ACORN. They were disguised as payments to a front group called “Citizen Services, Inc.” for “advance work.”
Jim Terry, an official from the Consumer Rights League, a watchdog group that monitors ACORN, noted: “ACORN has a long and sordid history of employing convoluted Enron-style accounting to illegally use taxpayer funds for their own political gain. Now it looks like ACORN is using the same type of convoluted accounting scheme for Obama’s political gain.” With a wave of his magic wand, Obama amended his FEC forms to change the “advance work” to “get-out-the-vote” work.

McCain can run, but he can’t hide. He is corrupt. His family money through his father-in-law is tied to AZ organized crime in the beer business. He received more in contributions from Freddie/Fannie than anyone else. Most telling of all, he received $112,000 in campaign contributions from pal Charles Keating. Keating and McCain were bosom buddies, both Navy flyers. In his 2002 biography, McCain describes his many trips on Keatings private jet to Keating’s home in Cat Cay, Bahamas for lavish dinners and partying. McCain writes “I WOULD BE LYING TO DENY JUST HOW MUCH I ENJOYED THEM AND HOW EAGERLY I AWAITED INVITATIONS TO CHARLIE KEATING’S SHANGRI LA.”
McCain = corruption

More Associations
As Congress slogged toward an apparent financial-market rescue bill over the weekend, the time arrived for a closer look at the roots of the crisis.
Who were the culprits?
Many and varied.
But as Election Day grows ever nearer, the role of one candidate in particular stands out: that of Barack Obama.
As Stanley Kurtz details, Obama spent many years cultivating ties with, working with – and even funding – the very folks who pushed for the risky lending that underlies the current mess.
That is, “community organizer” groups like ACORN.
ACORN is especially noteworthy, not only because of its prominence in the drive to relax mortgage requirements, but also because of its shady tactics.
And its links to Obama.
Various ACORN chapters across the country, led by folks like Chicago’s Madeline Talbott, staged in-your-face protests in bank lobbies and filed complaints meant to hold up mergers sought by targeted banking firms.
The movement’s biggest victory, of course, came when Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac began buying up the riskier loans – providing fresh incentive for banks to make even more of them.
No need to recount where all that led.
Meanwhile, Obama was right there by ACORN’s side all along.
“I’ve been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career,” he told the group last November.
Indeed, in the early ’90s, Obama was recruited by Talbott herself to run training sessions for ACORN activists.
ACORN also got funding from two charities, the Woods Fund and the Joyce Foundation, when Obama served on their boards, and from the Chicago Annenberg Challenge – the radical “education reform” outfit Obama ran from ’95 to ’99.
Ironically, the group stood to be a key beneficiary of the goodies Democrats were loading into Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson’s rescue plan – including one demand that 20 percent of any profits the feds make from reselling mortgage securities go to fund groups like ACORN.
Happily, that add-insult-to-injury bit appears to have been eliminated from the rescue bill – thanks essentially to Republican objections.

But maybe you like Sarah Palin just because she is talking about in the same way. No real arguments, but hit below the belt and think it is victory. Now you can write what you want because I have to go now. I am not paid to write here, by the way. I have a lot of enthusiasm that is why I write.

Founder Of Group Palin Courted Professed “Hatred For The American Government”; Cursed “Damn Flag”
By Greg Sargent – September 2, 2008, 6:10PM
The founder of the Alaska Independence Party — a group that has been courted over the years by Sarah Palin, and one her husband was a member of for roughly seven years — once professed his “hatred for the American government” and cursed the American flag as a “damn flag.”
The AIP founder, Joe Vogler, made the comments in 1991, in an interview that’s now housed at the Oral History Program in the Rasmuson Library at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks.
“The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government,” Vogler said in the interview, in which he talked extensively about his desire for Alaskan secession, the key goal of the AIP.
“And I won’t be buried under their damn flag,” Vogler continued in the interview, which also touched on his disappointment with the American judicial system. “I’ll be buried in Dawson. And when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home.”

Chicago native Billy Wimsatt is the executive director of the League of Young Voters (which he’d originally called The League of Pissed-Off Voters), a Brooklyn, New York-based get-out-the-vote group. He used to be a graffiti artist, plastering city walls with his tag, “Upski.” Wimsatt met Obama in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood during the late ’90s.
“I ran into him outside of a restaurant and he was just kind of doing errands,” Wimsatt recalled. “I had seen him speak about juvenile-justice issues in Illinois. I asked him how that was going and he said, ‘Good.’ He gave me his phone number and said, ‘Call me anytime’ or whatever. I was like some nobody kid.”
William “Upski” Wimsatt was writing on walls, now he has written three books to date. Bomb The Suburbs,,No More Prisons, and How To Get Stupid White Men Out Of Office

Ours is a country which recognizes the right of any individual to hold any opinion he or she wishes. Ayers is very radical and sees an oppressive government developing in our country. It’s his right to think that. He may be wrong, but so may we.
To attack someone because of the opinions of the people who are (REALLY, EXTREMELY, UNDENIABLY LOOSELY) associated with him is unamerican. I’m friends with hispanics, african americans, jews, Christians, Democrats, Republicans, hippies, and a host of other different “brands” of people.
These people all, at one time or another, may sound crazy to me because of the way they view something. Stated simply, these people and I are great friends, but their opinions do NOT form my own. The same could be said for any of us.
Palin and McCain are pandering to the lowest common denominator: fear of the unknown. Americans, though I know next to none of you will read this, don’t let these underhanded and unsubstantiated attacks sway you.

Top US Communist Says, “Elect Obama and change the world”.
The DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) and the CCDS Marxist-Leninist party are working hard for Obama too–from Chicago, of course. The Real Barack Obama has also recently reported that Chicago’s Marxist Party is also working hard for Barack Obama. Well, The Real Barack Obama blog now informs us that we can add the Communist Party to the list.
In shades of the late 60s and the early 70s, I see a Barack Obama pattern here that has little to do with Democracy. Let’s just say these people don’t wave the American flag a lot or enjoy Democracy as we know it.
Toss in an Obama Cold Call Center In Gaza City, an endorsement and campaign contributions from Hamas, Ethnic Cleansing Cousin Odinga, a crazed Jihad-loving Zbigniew Brzezinski as his top foreign advisor, endorsements from Iran and North Korea’s currently comatosed “Dear Leader,” and I would say we have a real problem here in the candidacy of the still-unvetted Barack Obama, wouldn’t you? I’d say we’re talking about a guy who is planning Change You Simply Cannot Believe. I mean, it’s a good thing Stalin and Guevara aren’t still alive or they would be endorsing Obama too.
Libero Della Piana is New York State chairman of the Communist Party USA, former national organiser of the party and a member of the CPUSA’s 140 strong National Council.
Like virtually all of the CPUSA’s several thousand members and supporters, Della Piana is working to elect Barack Obama to the US Presidency

Obama’s Ties to Socialism, Marxism, and Communism
Obama’s Father Wrote About Socialism – His father wrote a paper called “Problems With Our Socialism” that advocates 100% taxation of the rich, communal ownership of land and the forced confiscation of privately controlled land.
Obama’s Mother Was a “Communist Sympathizer” – ” Friends describe her as a “fellow traveler”, that is, a communist sympathizer, from her youth, according to a March 27, 2007, Chicago Tribune report” Source: Spengler, Asia Times “The values she taught me continue to be my touchstone when it comes to how I go about the world of politics – Barack Obama” Source: Tim Jones, Chicago Tribune
Obama’s Parents Met in a Russian Class (Back then it was the Communist USSR)- “His mother, Stanley Ann Dunham (her father always wanted a son), was white and just 18 when they met in a Russian class” Source: Sharon Cohen, St Louis Times
Obama’s Teen Mentor was Frank Marshall Davis (a known CPUSA member) – “…through Frank Marshall Davis, Obama had an admitted relationship with someone who was publicly identified as a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). The record shows that Obama was in Hawaii from 1971-1979, where, at some point in time, he developed a close relationship, almost like a son, with Davis, listening to his poetry and getting advice on his career path. But Obama, in his book, Dreams From My Father, refers to him repeatedly as just Frank.” Source: Cliff Kincaid, Accuracy in the Media “Kathryn Takara of the University of Hawaii, who wrote a dissertation on the life of Frank Marshall Davis, confirming Davis was a significant influence on Obama when the senator attended Punahou prep school in Hawaii from 1975 to 1979″ Source: Jim Corsi, WorldNetDaily based on Communism in Hawaii and the Obama Connection (Cliff Kincaid and Herbert Romerstein)
Obama’s Brother Roy and Cousin Odinga are Marxists – “Barack Obama’s older brother, Abongo “Roy” Obama. He is a Luo activist. militant Muslim and a Marxist.” Source: Barbara Busby, 180people.com “The person who made me proudest of all,” Obama wrote, “was Roy Source: Bill Sammon, The Examiner “Odinga is a Marxist who reportedly has made a pact with a hard-line Islamic group in Kenya to establish Shariah courts throughout the country” Source: Invenstor’s Business Daily
Obama Attended Socialist Conferences at Cooper Union – “He went to socialist conferences at Cooper Union and African cultural fairs in Brooklyn and started lecturing his relatives until they worried he’d become “one of those freaks you see on the streets around here.” Source: H Kennedy, NY Daily News
Obama Was Hand Picked by Alice Palmer to Succeed Her in the Illinois State Senate – “Nine years before Palmer picked Obama to be her successor, she was the only African-American journalist to travel to the Soviet Union to attend the 27th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, according to an article Palmer wrote in the CPUSA newspaper, People’s Daily World, June 19, 1986.” Source: Jim Corsi, WorldNetDaily based on Communism in Chicago and the Obama Connection (Cliff Kincaid and Herbert Romerstein)
Obama’s Run for the Illinois State Senate was Launched by a Fundraiser Organized at Bill Ayers’ and Bernardine Dorhn’s Chicago Home – Ayers and Dorhn are former terrorists from the Weather Underground who’s SDS organization received financial contributions from the CPUSA. “Obama’s run for the Illinois state Senate was launched by a fundraiser organized at Ayers’ and Dorhn’s Chicago home by Alice Palmer. Palmer had named Obama to succeed her in the state Senate in 1995, when she decided to run for a U.S. congressional seat.” Source: Jim Corsi, WorldNetDaily based on Communism in Chicago and the Obama Connection (Cliff Kincaid and Herbert Romerstein)
Obama Had a Close Relationship with the “Anti-Capitalist” Group ACORN – “Obama has had an intimate and long-term association with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (Acorn)…Chicago Acorn appears to have played a major role in Obama’s political advance…Acorn’s radical agenda sometimes shifts toward “undisguised authoritarian socialism.” Source: Stanley Kurtz, National Review
Obama Attended Several Meetings with the Democratic Socialists in Chicago and Was even Endorsed by Them – “Obama’s socialist backing goes back at least to 1996, when he received the endorsement of the Chicago branch of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) for an Illinois state senate seat. Later, the Chicago DSA newsletter reported that Obama, as a state senator, showed up to eulogize Saul Mendelson, one of the “champions” of “Chicago’s democratic left” and a long-time socialist activist. Obama’s stint as a “community organizer” in Chicago has gotten some attention, but his relationship with the DSA socialists, who groomed and backed him, has been generally ignored.” Source: Cliff Kincaid, Accuracy in the Media “In its broadest sense, democratic socialism could refer to any attempts to bring about socialism through democratic means as opposed to violent insurrection.” Source: Wikipedia

—————————————-
As Mr. Spock said once “Fascinating, a pattern is developing”.
What kind of Change is he talking about?
Posted by: Karl Marx | October 6, 2008, 5:13 pm 5:13 pm
McCain decision to personally attack Obama will be his last erratic move in his campaign; it will totally sink his ship. McCain has decided that the mavericky thing to do is to swift boat Obama by playing the guilt by association game. Great idea, Senator Straight Talk…but it’s no fun to play alone, so let’s add a couple of more players:
There’s McCain’s association with G. Gordon Liddy:
Liddy served four and a half years in prison in connection with his conviction for his role in the Watergate break-in and the break-in at the office of the psychiatrist of Daniel Ellsberg, the military analyst who leaked the Pentagon Papers. Liddy has acknowledged preparing to kill someone during the Ellsberg break-in “if necessary”; plotting to murder journalist Jack Anderson; plotting with a “gangland figure” to murder Howard Hunt to stop him from cooperating with investigators; plotting to firebomb the Brookings Institution; and plotting to kidnap “leftist guerillas” at the 1972 Republican National Convention — a plan he outlined to the Nixon administration using terminology borrowed from the Nazis. (The murder, firebombing, and kidnapping plots were never carried out; the break-ins were.) During the 1990s, Liddy reportedly instructed his radio audience on multiple occasions on how to shoot Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agents and also reportedly said he had named his shooting targets after Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Liddy has donated $5,000 to McCain’s campaigns since 1998, including $1,000 in February 2008. In addition, McCain has appeared on Liddy’s radio show during the presidential campaign, including as recently as May. An online video labeled “John McCain On The G. Gordon Liddy Show 11/8/07″ includes a discussion between Liddy and McCain, whom Liddy described as an “old friend.” During the segment, McCain praised Liddy’s “adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great,” said he was “proud” of Liddy, and said that “it’s always a pleasure for me to come on your program.”
Point: McCain
And from Paul Begala:
But John McCain sat on the board of a very right-wing organization, it was the U.S. Council for World Freedom, it was chaired by a guy named John Singlaub, who wound up involved in the Iran contra scandal. It was an ultra conservative, right-wing group. The Anti-Defamation League, in 1981 when McCain was on the board, said this about this organization. It was affiliated with the World Anti-Communist League – the parent organization – which ADL said “has increasingly become a gathering place, a forum, a point of contact for extremists, racists and anti-Semites.”
Point: McCain
And we can’t forget the mini-Maverick and her close and personal relationship with an America-hating secessionist group:
So, we have Sarah Palin, actively involved with a secessionist group that professes its hatred for America, and whose husband was a card-carrying member of the group for seven years. And don’t forget, Todd Palin isn’t just the spouse of an elected official. He has been called a Shadow Governor, attending private meetings, being sent on fact finding trips, and being copied on emails that were later “prohibited from being released to the public due to executive privilege.” This man would be a 72-year old heartbeat and a pillow away from the presidency.
Point: Palin
And let’s add Palin’s pesky, but largely ignored, preacher problem. Thomas Muthee, the preacher that Palin said helped her become governor:
…founded his ministry with a witchhunt against a Kenyan woman who he accused of causing car accidents through demonic spells.
And while praying with Palin standing by his side, Muthee:
…implored Jesus to protect Palin from “the spirit of witchcraft.” The video archive of that startling sermon was scrubbed from Wasilla Assembly of God’s website, but now it has reappeared.
And during that same prayer, Muthee also said:
The second area whereby God wants us, wants to penetrate in our society is in the economic area. The Bible says that the wealth of the wicked is stored up for the righteous. It’s high time that we have top Christian businessmen, businesswomen, bankers, you know, who are men and women of integrity running the economics of our nations. That’s what we are waiting for. That’s part and parcel of transformation. If you look at the — you know — if you look at the Israelites, that’s how they work. And that’s how they are, even today.
Yes, Palin listened to him calling for God to take banking and business out of the hands of Jews and later praised him and his sermon.
Point: Palin
Oh, and one more that we can’t forget. John McCain’s association with four men…in fact, if it wasn’t for John McCain’s intimate association with them, the Savings & Loan crisis that cost the American taxpayers $2.6 billion, would have been known as the Keating 4 instead of the Keating 5 scandal:
The Keating Five became synonymous for the kind of political influence that money can buy. As the S&L failure deepened, the sheer magnitude of the losses hit the press. Billions of dollars had been squandered. The five senators were linked as the gang who shilled for an S&L bandit.
S&L “trading cards” came out. The Keating Five card showed Charles Keating holding up his hand, with a senator’s head adorning each finger. McCain was on Keating’s pinkie. McCain was the only one of the five with close social and personal ties to Keating. 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. It was not until several years later, after hearing that Keating was in trouble, that he paid Keating $13,433 for some of those trips.
Point: McCain
And on the other side we have Barack Obama who served on charitable boards, along with many others, with William Ayers, who was involved with a radical group when Obama was 8 years old. Oh, and they share a zip code.
Point: Zero
And the winner is, McCain and Palin. But when you think about it, this game really isn’t fair. While Obama had no association with Ayers’ radical past and has repeatedly denounced it, both McCain and Palin were personally involved with all of their players. But let’s let them enjoy their victory here. It’s the only one they’ll get.
Posted by: Natasha | October 6, 2008, 5:17 pm 5:17 pm
I don’t care about connections to Ayers or Keating! Who knows who? Who’s friends with who?

I spent 22 years in the military and even though I might say “Well it doesn’t affect how I see the world” I’d be wrong. I know it’s a part of who I am and my decision making process. Having said that, here’s my question, How could Obama be around all those “hate America” types, socialists and radicals for so long and not be affected by it? Obviously he seemed to be seeking out others of like mind whenever he moved from place to place. This concerns me greatly.
Posted by: Ajax | October 6, 2008, 5:25 pm 5:25 pm
Way to go Sarah !!! About time someone had the guts to bring all his radical ties up and make him answerto them. All we want is truth and tell me if he has nothing to hide as he says why did he lie about association with ayers… what about rezco …what about the pastor which if anyone has read the senior thesis of his wife you would see she shares the veiws of the pastor .you can not tell me that he sat in the pews of a church for 20 years and didnt realize what the pastor was preaching. I for one am glad Sarah has the guts to raise these questions because the mainstream media sure hasn’t. Theonly network to be balanced in what they report is Fox News and I did by the way watch the special on Obama and his radical ties Very scary. But honestly what I find more scarey is the ad the Obama camp put out it was of little children singing the praises of Obama….then today on you tube there is the Obama Chant by students…this stuff I find scarey ..that is what they do where dictators rule …..Is that what we want for our country ????? Wake up America.. and to Mr.Obama if you are so innocent as you say well then quit the lies answer truthfully ..the truth will set you free .But do not think that we Americans are that stupid to accept “i hardly knew him” or I didn’t listen” We just want the truth.

let me get this straight, Obama lives near a guy who was not convicted of any crime but was asoosicated with some people who were 40 years ago and this is questionable? McCain actively fought legislation to catch and prosecute domestic terrorists because they happen to have his same stance on abortion. Palin is married to a man who advocates the cecession of Alaska from the Union and she went to a church where her pastor said that the bombing of israel was gods will because they would not take christ as thier savior and she was IN the pew when this was said. McCain’s brother calls people who vote democratic communists, and McCain’s spokes people say disagreeing with the President is unpatriotic. How can ANYONE in good conscience vote for these people?
Posted by: Danny | October 6, 2008, 5:29 pm 5:29 pm
I am supporting Obama. The difference between me and most Americans is most Americans believe we can force our will on the world by military force. Albeit, that figure is changing somewhat because of the Iraq war. In the fall of 1967 on Vietnam’s DMZ nearly 2000 marines tried to prevent 35,000 North Vietnamese soldiers from coming across the DMZ. Not only did they US Marines not prevent communist soldiers from coming across into South Vietnam but the numbers increased to the point a few months later the 1968 Tet happened and battles like Khe Sahn and Hue City killed and wounded many more US Marines. I was at Con Thien with 2nd Bn. 4th Marines. I was wounded in November, and spent the next 8 months reading the Stars and Stripes reading about my friends who died. My unit 2nd Bn 4th Marines won 4 Congressional Medals of Honor from September 67 to May 2nd 1968.This is why I am voting for Obama. I am voting for Obama because he sees limits to American military power, and sees the full power of Americans at home. Obama sees we can change the world not only by military force but by the force of example. As for <cCain supporting Vietnam veterans. I always felt he felt like he was better then the Vietnam Draftee and their problems. His record of supporting combat veterans did not excist until this election. Now he talks as though he is one of us and not the privileged admirals son he is.

So the McCain/Palin campaign has stooped to slander. Hopefully, all America remembers that before a senator takes a job he undergoes a complete background investigation. If senator Obama had been tied to a terrorist cell, then it would have surfaced and been made public long before now. Don’t beleive the lies.

Yep I agree Tammy. Obama wants to reshape the US into something more like socialism. If he didn’t like socialism then why all the numerous associations? Surely that isn’t coincidence. People tend to go where they’re comfortable.

But John McCain sat on the board of a very right-wing organization, it was the U.S. Council for World Freedom, it was chaired by a guy named John Singlaub, who wound up involved in the Iran contra scandal.

More Pointers
Obama’s Church is Rooted in Liberation Theology which is Rooted in Marxism – ” The vision statement of Trinity United Church of Christ is based upon the systematized liberation theology” Source: TUCC Website “Simply put, Liberation Theology is an attempt to interpret Scripture through the plight of the poor. It is largely a humanistic doctrine. It started in South America in the turbulent 1950′s when Marxism was making great gains among the poor because of its emphasis on the redistribution of wealth, allowing poor peasants to share in the wealth of the colonial elite and thus upgrade their economic status in life.” Source: gotquestions.org
“And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns, or religion, or antipathy to people who aren’t like them, or anti-immigrant sentiment, or anti-trade sentiments as a way to explain their frustrations” – Barack Obama
“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,” – Barack Obama

At this late stage in the campaign, with their candidates down double digits in key states, it looks like McCain/Palin supporters can only hope to win by “making things up” about Obama.
If only they could be as creative in the policy solutions they offer the country.

One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It’s very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project, most people are a little reluctant to oppose anything that suggests medical care for people who possibly can’t afford it.

No matter what Palin says, ABC, Gibson, Sawyer and the media will pass it off as harmless. It is not just Ayers, It is; foreign donations from Iran, the PLO, connections with Syria, his support of Kenyan mass murderer Raila Odinga, his association with racist muslim Khalid Al-Mansour – who got Obama into harvard, and of course, ACORN. Not a word from anyone in the mainstream media. GEORGE SOROS IS BEHIND THIS ELECTION AND ABC. WAKE UP PEOPLE.

Hmm yes old stuff, but never really dugg into Hillary let it go for the sake of the party. It will backfire on Palin. I am close to voting for Obama, but until he helps Hillary out like she helped him out I wont be happy voting for him. Obama clinton better have a place in your administration after all she has done, with little or no thanks. I better never hear a word from Obama supporters that Hill did nothing for him.

I am looking at these comments and wondering if some brain-washing has gone on. How can ppl be so stupid and disloyal to America. There are too many questionmarks abt him and his associations with terrorists. He would not even pass a security clearance for a job as a cleaner in the White House yet he is running for President. We know everything abt Palin and McCain thanks to the drive-by media yet we know little or virtually nothing abt Obama. He stands for change. When you ask ppl why they say change and when you ask to explain they can’t answer – who would vote for someone just because of a one word mantra.

I am Catholic and I do not support abortion. It is NOT a question of gay rights or racism. It is the question of Presidential Candidate Obama supporting abortion. A fetus has the right of life. If you cannot support the right to life, then it is impossible to support any other rights of life. A Catholic whether liberal lay or conservative must come to realize that supporting the right to life is a sacrament of life.
Moreover, liberal lay Catholics must realize that they are not supporting the poor and other races by agreeing to consent to abortion. Abortionists are supporting
the control of the poor and the races by allowing abortion. It is necessary to see into the future and come to realize the control of certain peoples because of race and lack of wealth. Abortionists support control of the population and the destruction of a life whether the life be gay, poor, or of a selected race. No To Obama.

I think they’re running scared, throwing the wide net to see if anything will stick and if anything might appear to have stuck they are going to simply run with it. That’s the same Presidency you’d get with the McCain/Palin team.
The team is acting without regard to McCain’s earlier promise no pot shots on character – McCain does not now seem to be a man of his word. He seems now to be the man depicted in the Rolling Stone article. What a shame and how embarrassing that a man of his stature has chosen a running mate in Palin.
For all the people who are loving this, all this information came out and was discussed in the Primary election – gee, where were you? I guess because it was a democratic primary, you weren’t listening? Clinton in fact predicted the Republicans running with this… I do imagine there will be some people in the town square type debate that are level headed and won’t stand for character assassinations from either direction. I still cringe thinking of both McCain and Palin referring to a US Senator as one paling around with terrorists.

The polls are even stronger for Obama today. Its nice to see McCain’s nasty little tactics are failing and the American people aren’t the mindless sheep he thought they were. I think it just makes McCain look really pitiful and desperate. He knows he is losing and will stoop to anything at this point. Obama has run a very respectable campaign, even though there is more than enough ammunition to go after McCain personally on many levels. Gotta give the Obama campaign credit for reminding everyone of the Keating five scandal, McCain was just asking for that one.
Posted by: MJB | October 6, 2008, 7:35 pm 7:35 pm
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 President Carter and the Democrats forcing banks to give easy credit for getting mortgages. Democrat President Clinton and the Democrats made regulations forcing banks to 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.
There are no credible reports to connect Sarah Palin, her husband and her family to any terrorist or criminals. Criminal and Anti-American associations have pointed to Obama supporters. Voters must question Obama’s background from his boyhood into the present day.

Nearly anyone involved in Chicago politics could be said to have some ties to Ayers. He is a university professor and very involved in Chicago politics. Obama was first introduced to Ayers by Mayor Daley. Its silly to go after Obama for something that happened when he was 8 years old. Ayers could be said to have “ties” to many people both Democrat and Republican.
Palin’s husband Todd was a registered member of the Alaskan Independence Party from 1995 through 2002. Joe Vogler founded the radical political party Alaskans for Independence to actively pursue secession for Alaska from the United States. The Alaskan Independence Party quotes Vogler as stating “I’m an Alaskan, not an American. I’ve got no use for America or her dam*ed institutions.” and “The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government. And I won’t be buried under their damn flag. I’ll be buried in Dawson. And when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home.”
Todd Palin was comfortable belonging to and being associated with a political party whose founder seemed to delight in denouncing the principles that hold our union together.
What about Pastor Muthee the pastor from Kenya who prayed over Sarah to protect her from witchcraft? According to news sources Muthee began his ministry in Africa by hunting down a local woman named Mama Jane after proclaiming her a witch. Her alleged involvement in fortune-telling and the fact that she lived near the site of a number of fatal car accidents led Pastor Muthee to publicly declare her a witch responsible for the town’s ills, and order her to offer up her soul for salvation or leave Kiambu. The townspeople turned on her, demanding that she be stoned. Public outrage eventually led the police to raid her home, where they fired gunshots, killing a pet python which they believed to be a demon.
McCain has his own involvement in the Keating Five scandal. Seems to me McCain and Palin have no room to be throwing stones. Playing the six degrees of separation game could surely come back to haunt them both. McCain knows he is losing and is getting desperate.

Many states at one time or the other have wanted to secede from the US.
If Obama’s plan works and he steals this election, like he’s done with his senate seat, my family has already dicussed moving to another country. If my state of Texas tries to secede, I might consider staying. Obama will not be my president, might as well move to China or North Korea if I stay and watch him turn us into a communist country.

The financial markets must be free and without strict government regulations that endorses easy credit to any person, but especially to unqualified persons. Obama does not know how to execute a proper financial plan because he does not have the credentials to be anything more than an attorney. Moreover, Obama changes his programs in so many directions it is difficult to know of a plan of any kind from Obama. Obama is a person of indecision because he does not have proper executive experience.

Talk About Reaching Into The Grave
Obama supporters talk about Todd Palin’s association with a dead man, a man that was disenchanted with the corruption in Washington, D.C. during his lifetime. Joe Vogler supported America’s freedoms under the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Joe Vogler (1913-1993) was the founder of the Alaskan Independence Party and active in politics, regularly running for public office in Alaska for many years. Vogler was born April 24, 1913, on a farm outside Barnes, Kansas. Joe Vogler attended the University of Kansas on a scholarship in 1929. He graduated with a law degree in five years and was admitted to the Kansas State Bar.
Obama’s Anti-American supporters are alive and kicking. Obama’s supporters point to destroying the American way. Obama points to China and he say China is an example we can follow. I guess Obama wants communism and the controlling of the entire population of America. No To Obama.

Mile: You are so right about Ayers and so is Palin. I live in Chicago, born and raised here and remember the radical 60′s. It was holy terror here at that time. Bernadine and Ayers set off three bombs and he said he would do it over again. I remember when radicals were trying to take over the convention. The courts are at fault for not giving him a life sentence and he was interviewed yesterday and he would do it over again. If he was black and did that God help him. I know what would have happened to him. Obama was never a community organizer, he was going around getting people to know him because he wanted to run for the senate. He didn’t care about the neighborhood people, they meant nothing to him. Obama is for himself and himself only. The commentors that are backing him up I put in the same category as Obama. Know nothings, do nothings, and say nothings. They would vote for him if he had a prison record because they lack the sense of who is the better candidate for this country. They don’t realize that Obama has some dictatorship in his speeches and God will have to help this country if he is elected. A true American would never attend a racist white hating anti-american church for 20 years like Obama did and he really doesn’t want to wear the flag pin. He also was involved talking to a Palestine leader who hates Jews and Obama doesn’t like Jews himself. If he said he does he’s a good liar. He lies so much you don’t know when he’s telling the truth. I am aware of the fact when Ayers campaigned for him he knew how to raise campaign money for him. And if you watched Fox News last night you would get the whole history of Obama from beginning to his days of winning the senate seat. He took the women to court that was running against him for that seat. You can find her on the internet, Alice J. Palmer. He ruined her.

She actually won the state senate seat, he took her to court, had some votes thrown out that HE said were illegal and won.

When will the MSM bring the World Anti-Communist League up. McCain being a board member of its American counterpart (the U.S. Council for World Freedom) has been totally neglected so far, maybe because it concerns such an explosive scandal that involves some dirty aspects of American foreign policies under Reagan and, earlier, Nixon.
If it would be addressed by the MSM, the Keating Five scandal would be peanuts in comparison. And that for many reasons, but certainly for this one: the League carried out political assassinations and formed contra-guerrilla movements in all areas of conflict, including in Afghanistan where it was headed by….
yes, by Osama Bin Laden.
The World Anti-Communist League was founded in Taiwan by Chiang Kai-shek, reverend Moon and Axis who were (Nazi and Japanese) war criminals.
The WACL was first used by Nixon to extend counter-insurgency methods into South-East Asia and Latin America. Seven heads of State participated in its meetings at that time. Later, it was revived in the Reagan era, becoming an instrument of the U.S. military industrial complex and the CIA during the Cold War.
As said, it carried out political assassinations and formed contra-guerrilla movements in all areas of conflict, including in Afghanistan where it was headed by Osama Bin Laden.
Hugo Banzer of Bolivia, Jorge Rafael Videla of Argentina and Alfredo Stroessner of Paraguay were all well-known members.
One of the most notorious criminals in Argentina and in the region was former General Guillermo Suarez Mason, an important figure in the World Anti-Communist League and a top Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) agent; he was influential during the Argentine military dictatorship (1976-1983) and one of the “experts” in the Dirty War, counter-insurgency and repression, proceeding mercilessly in these activities while he held the post of Chief of the Army First Corps between 1976 and 1980, a period which abounded in kidnappings, torture, deaths and disappearances in the clandestine detention centres of which he was in charge.
He also played a key role as an Argentine military death-squad advisor within the Central American saga and was a partner of John Negroponte’s, the then U.S. Ambassador in Honduras, in the signing of the criminal pacts and alliances that were made in Central America in the 1980’s.
It might be time to learn some more about McCain’s work for this scandalous organisation.
“People know me,” is McCain’s mantra these days.
No, they do not.

Palin motivated her crowd with her hate speech to yell “Kill Him”. What are we coming to as a nation?
According to CNN: there is no indication that Ayers and Obama are now “palling around,” or that they have had an ongoing relationship in the past three years. Also, there is nothing to suggest that Ayers is now involved in terrorist activity or that other Obama associates are.
On the otherhand, Palin is actually married to a documented secessionist, Todd Palin, who is a former member of the Alaska Independence Party. He was comfortable belonging to and being associated with a political party whose founder seemed to delight in denouncing the principles that hold our union together. Talk about consorting with people who hate America, Palin is married to one.

The choice is simple, just look at the issues!
McCain: Huge tax cuts for the wealthy and big corporations (how can he say he is for ‘main street’?)
Obama: Tax cuts for working American, increases (although, less than under Clinton) for the top 5%
McCain: Dismal health plan with more Americans losing coverage
Obama: Superior health plan with more americans gaining coverage (and businesses providing it getting an estimated $140 billion annually in savings)
McCain: Congress needs to study enron loophole (even though congress has already tried to close it and Bush has vetoed it twice!)
Obama: Close loophole now, immediate drop in gas prices for americans!
McCain: D- student with poor navy background
Obama: Harverd Law magna cum laude graduage and constitutional law expert
McCain: Shoot first, ask questions later
Obama: Diplomacy and dialog with military as last resort
McCain: More oil, nuclear (and wait 7 years or longer till we see results)
Obama: Faster shift to alternative fuels and improved recovery on existing reserves
McCain: We will win Iraq quickly, be greeted as liberators and it will be a swift change to a new iraqi government
Obama: Opposed war, wanted to go after the real target behind 9/11
When you look at the issues, you would have to be as dumb as Bush if you didn’t vote Obama!

For me, the criteria on who to vote for is simple: the republicans had the country for the last eight years. The democratic majority in congress couldn’t accomplish much in the past two because not only did the republicans use the filibuster tactic to have time run out, but the president vetoed everything congress sent through. Our country is a mess and our economic crises have spread to the rest of the world and this is directly related to republican policy of deregulation. (ooohhh, if the government interferes with the banking industry, this is socialism. oooohhh. scary) Such stupidity.
I’m voting for Obama because 1 – he’s not a republican 2 – he’s waaaaay smarter than McCain (and Palin doesn’t even register on the intelligence scale) 3 – it’s time for a different political party to see what they can do. it’s obvious the republicans have bungled things badly. 4 – McCain’s policy regarding health care and slashing medicare will cause much grief and heartache. And on and on.

Obama has certainly been lying to the public and getting away with it. This article in NRO online is a good one…
The Obama Fan-Dance Must End [Mark R. Levin]
As someone who has written critically of John McCain on a host of issues, including the Keating Five, none of it compares to the life that Barack Obama has led and his belief system. Obama is not merely associated with domestic terrorists, Palestinian radicals, Marxists, and black liberation ideologues — he was their favorite candidate. They groomed him. They befriended him. He befriended them. He socialized with them. In other words, these people saw Obama as representing their views and aspirations and he saw them the same way. I am not among those who raise Obama’s associations but add “of course, it doesn’t mean Obama shares their views.” Oh really? These miscreants include Obama’s former pastor, political mentors and allies, and friends. Obama attempts to downplay and distance himself from his own circle of allies now that he is running for president. But he is one of them. Obama is getting a pass that no other candidate in my memory has ever received.
The rest of this article in on NRO online. Thank you Mr. Levin.

Hahahahaha – Palin invokes fear – gimme a break. Sheesh. Can’t believe they get that out of what she said.
How bout Obama invoking fear with his legal folks threatening radio stations who interview those that write anti-Obama books.
How bout Obama always playing the race card. We don’t need to look at his sneering face anymore.
John McCain has class, Palin is classier FEAR NOT.

Obama gets a pass with everything because people “fear” they’ll be labeled a racist for disagreeing with the 1/2 black guy with Muslim connections.
Mark Levin is right and what we should FEAR is that terrorists have endorsed him.
Any republican with such associations would never have even been nominated – but Obama gets a pass. Sick.

Obama would have had to avoid local media altogether in 1996 to miss the mentions of his friend and neighbor. In 1996, the Democrats held their national convention in Chicago, and Ayers got a lot of attention beginning with the decision in 1994:
At the height of this exposure in 1996, major media outlets were quoting Bill Ayers and pointing out his radical past.
What else happened in 1996 when the media was reminiscing about the Democratic Convention of 1968, and interviewing key players like Bill Ayers?
Bill Ayers held a fundraiser for Barack Obama.
And we’re really supposed to believe Obama did not know, by 1996, given all the major media coverage of the 1996 Democratic Convention going back to Chicago despite the 1968 riots — including local and national media interviews with Bill Ayers on the subject — that Obama did not know?
You’ve got to be kidding me.

William Ayers, “Former” Radical??
Stories at Politico and ABC refer to William Ayers as a “former radical,” but wouldn’t Ayers need to disavow his Sixties extremism to be a “former” radical? He infamously told the New York Times in a story published on September 11, 2001, that he regretted not setting more bombs. As late as April 2008, he publicly railed against “terrorism” being committed by the U.S. military and called for a “revolution” against capitalism. Andrew Ferguson wrote in his TWS cover story on Hyde Park (“Mr. Obama’s Neighborhood,” June 11):
As it happened, I’d spent the evening before reading Ayers’s blog, and lingered over a manifesto he posted in early April, after his friendship with Obama became national news. “I’ve never advocated terrorism,” Ayers wrote, “never participated in it, never defended it. The U.S. government, by contrast, does it routinely and defends the use of it in its own cause consistently.” Capitalism, he went on, “is exhausted as a force for progress: built on exploitation, theft, conquest, war, and racism, capitalism and imperialism must be defeated and a world revolution–a revolution against war and racism and materialism, a revolution based on human solidarity and love” and so on.
In that same blog post, Ayers wrote:
“A bombing in a café in Israel is terrorism, and an Israeli assault on a neighborhood in Gaza is terrorism; the September 11 attacks were acts of terrorism, and the U.S. bombings in Viet Nam for a decade were acts of terrorism.”
William Ayers–a man who had once plotted to kill hundreds of U.S. soldiers and their dates at a dance at Fort Dix–is still a left-wing radical who thinks that U.S. troops in Vietnam were the real terrorists. There’s no indication that he ever tried to keep his radical beliefs secret–and there’s every indication that Obama knew that Ayers was a terrorist who had not repented for his deeds when the two teamed up as political allies in Chicago and became “friends.”
Just because the Obama campaign and the media want to say that Ayers is “now mainstream” doesn’t make it so.

Way to go Sarah !!! About time someone had the guts to bring all his radical ties up and make him answerto them. All we want is truth and tell me if he has nothing to hide as he says why did he lie about association with ayers… what about rezco …what about the pastor which if anyone has read the senior thesis of his wife you would see she shares the veiws of the pastor .you can not tell me that he sat in the pews of a church for 20 years and didnt realize what the pastor was preaching. I for one am glad Sarah has the guts to raise these questions because the mainstream media sure hasn’t. and I did by the way watch the special on Obama and his radical ties Very scary. But honestly what I find more scarey is the ad the Obama camp put out it was of little children singing the praises of Obama….then today on you tube there is the Obama Chant by students…this stuff I find scarey ..that is what they do where dictators rule …..Is that what we want for our country ????? Wake up America.. and to Mr.Obama if you are so innocent as you say well then quit the lies answer truthfully ..the truth will set you free .But do not think that we Americans are that stupid to accept “i hardly knew him” or I didn’t listen” We just want the truth.

Because global financial markets are woven in a complex web, turmoil in one sector is felt elsewhere. Some wounded financial companies are desperately selling healthy stocks to raise capital to stay afloat, and this heavy selling pressure is forcing down the price of these stocks. The same is being done by leveraged hedge funds that have been hurt by their investments in financial stocks – they need to raise money for shareholders who want out of their fund, so they are selling good stocks to get cash.
The New York Times had an interesting op-ed article on this subject on Sept. 14 titled “Too Few Regulations? No, Just Ineffective Ones” by Tyler Cowen, an economics professor at George Mason University.
One of Cowen’s best observations was “financial regulation has produced a lot of laws and a lot of spending but poor priorities and little success in using the most important laws to head off a disaster. The pattern is reminiscent of how legislators often seem more interested in building new highways – which are highly visible projects – than in maintaining old ones.”
He also pointed out that 70,000 new pages of federal regulations in a single year is not an uncommon feat, and that the inflation-adjusted spending by the federal agencies regulating banking and finance has gone up more than 40 percent since 1990.
New rules are what Washington knows how to do best – it’s how legislators measure their worth. And while there are times when new regulations make sense, this isn’t one of those times.
Hearing the solutions offered by Obama and Biden today reduces my confidence in the Democrats. The Democrats do not having the knowledge or the imagination to take on the biggest economic crisis in America since the 1930s.
Under Herbert Hoover, taxes were raised, trade protectionism increased, and the money supply contracted. Sound familiar? Obama’s tax hikes and trade protectionism are Hooveresque and a reminder of the great depression of 1929.
No to Obama’s policies that doom America.

Up until SIX YEARS AGO, Todd Palin was registered with the the political radical party, AIP, who’s mission was to SECEDE from the United States of America. Founder of the Alaskan Indepencence Party, Jon Vogler has said:
“The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government, and I won’t be buried under their damn flag.”
and
“I’m an Alaskan, not an American. I’ve got no use for America or her damned institutions.”
Looks to me like Todd Palin has been “pallin’ around with terrorists” pretty recently and Sarah is guily by
assoication. Alaska, not country, First.

obamayomamma: You are right. Even the networks fear saying anything against him. Or their jobs will be on the line. He had done nothing but become a candidate that has brought nothing but trouble to the campaigns. I live in Chicago, born and raised here and know all about City Hall and remember when Ayers and his wife Bernadine set off the bombs. He went underground for several years before he came out of hiding. He should have been put in jail for life. He caused three people to die in that bombing. Yes, Obama has close ties to Ayers and Ayers lives next door to Farrakhan. Obama’s house is right in that section. All three of them are anti-americans and Obama should not be running for the presidency of this country. He will never do what he says, that is just a fake speech to get elected so he can make history. He is a wheeler dealer who did nothing with his Law degree because his sights were on being the president. I watched the whold video on him when Fox News had it on. And if they play it again, be sure to watch it. All the Obama supporters should go to the southside of Chicago and see how the other side lives. Obama lives on the cleaner side of Hyde Park, I seen Hyde Park when it was nothing but filth and all black. So bad, a California based bank had to close down. And don’t believe the Rasmussen polls, the said the same thing when Hillary was running. They gave Obama the lead. Rasmussen is a strong Obama supporter and downs any candidate that would run against Obama. If Obama is elected look for the biggest disaster American will ever have. Obama cannot lead this country, Biden will be training him behind the scenes. All Obama wants is to make that history and the hell with the public. He is using the American people to benefit himself.

hopeandchange: As I stated I live in Chicago, born and raised her and was around for the 60,s radical bombing. Ayers should have been sentenced to life in prison for what he did and I don’t understand the court system. And the democratic convention turned into a turmoil because of this radical. Obama is a very close friend of Ayers but they are not showing it because he is running for president, but when he returns to Chicago you can take bets he is at Ayers house or Ayers is at his house. Obama was never a community organizer. He was setting himself up for the presidency. He read numerous books on MLK that his mother gave him and that’s where he got the idea. He wants continue what MLK left behind. Don’t think he likes the white people. He is using them for his own benefit. Ayers campaigned for him during the time he was running for the senate and gave him big donations. That’s how he got money. Obama also played dirty pool against the woman that was going to run for the senate seat. They interviewed her on TV months ago. He is an underhanded liar and has the public fooled by his copied speeches of RFK. For a Harvard graduate he must have left his brains behind because he needs all the help he can get and he is getting it.

tammy: Good for you. You think like I do. Yes, Obama and his wife were definately anti-american and if they say different, then why did they stay in that church for 20 years. Obama and Ayers belong in the same category and those that are voting for Obama are just as anti-american as he is. If the public believes that Obama is going to do all he says, are they in for a big shocker. He doesn’t care about this country he wants full control. He is the enemies friend and Hamas must be dancing in the streets right now. But Pakastan made it clear not to cross into their country. I believe Bin Laden is living there and that’s why they don’t want the US in there. If Obama is elected they might think differently. Of course the Europenas want Obama as president because thousands of them are minorities like Obama and the leader’s know they can get their way with him. I thought the Clinton’s had better sense than to campaign for him after what he and Nancy Pelosi did to Hillary. Maybe he thinks that Obama would give Hillary a job in his administration if he wins. I don’t think so.

scaredofmccain: You got that right so Obama is not fit to be our leader because he denies his association with Ayers. Not so. You should have watched FOX News the other night when they had a video on Obama going around the dirty southside streets of Chicago getting himself prepared for the senate not community organizing for the people. He met Ayers in 1995, they became real close friends, Ayers gave him several donations and campaigned for him. Obama wanted to become a senator to prepare himself for the presidency so he can have full control of this country. Most of the people in this country are in for a shocker if elected. He will raise taxes like you would never beleive, become friends with the enemy and Ayers will be invited to the white house. Rezko gave Obama 34/% of the money to buy his house and now he has turned his back on him. That’s what Obama does to people. He uses them and discards them. God will have to help this country if he is elected because we will be in serious trouble. He definately is anti-american and was forced to wear the American flag pin which he didn’t want to wear.

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.

You people are all nuts. Have any of you done any research on Bill Ayers or do you just read and close off your mind? Google William Ayers and NY times letter to the editor.

You’ll see that the quotes from the article that was published on Sept. 11, 2001 were taken completely out of context and the article was completely distorted. Do you know anything about Bill Ayers? He was indeed a radical in the 60′s who set bombs that never killed anyone. In fact, the only casualties where those of other Weather Underground members who blew themselves up making bombs. Does it matter to anyone that the charges against him were dropped? That he went on to get a Ph.D. and now serves as a distinguished professor at at state University in Illinois? Or that he works to help those in poverty in Chicago? Take a look at yourselves, people. Are you without regrets? Without sins? One could argue that he’s doing everything he can now to make up for what he did back then.
My father-in-law was a yippie/weatherman back in the 60s and protested the vietnam war. He served time for some of the things he did, but he also dedicated his life to public service after prison and he cared for my mother-in-law while she was dying of cancer. I judge him for the things he’s done since then, not just one act.

Bill Ayers donated $200 to Obama’s Illinois sentate campaign and he hosted a coffee for him in his apartment in Chicago. That’s it. That is the extent of their relationship. They served on 2 boards together. Have you ever served on a board? There are people of all walks of life on those boards.
Also, if you want to look at shady connections, look at Sarah Palin’s connections to the Alaksa Indepenence Party through her husband and to Pastor Muthee. Google it! Also, by the standards the McCain campaign is touting, then John McCain is responsible for Watergate. His pal G. Gordon Liddy was the mastermind. Liddy also gave McCain money in 2008. Oh and don’t forget that he served on the board for the U.S. Council for World Freedom. Look it up.

Barack Obama’s Health Care Record
ARLINGTON, VA — With Barack Obama lying about John McCain’s health care plan today, please find below the facts about Barack Obama’s health care record:
BARACK OBAMA RECENTLY ACKNOWLEDGED HIS PLAN WILL COST AT LEAST $150 BILLION A YEAR
Despite What He Claimed Today, Barack Obama Recently Said His Plan Will Cost At Least $150 Billion, Despite Earlier Claims That It Will Cost Much Less:
Barack Obama Said On “60 Minutes” That His Plan Would Cost At Least $150 Billion. CBS’ Steve Kroft: “How much is it going to cost? $150 billion it’s going to cost, right?” Obama: “It is. It is. But we pay for every dime that we propose to spend. I believe in pay as you go. That if you want to propose a new program, you better cut some old ones. If you want to expand a program, then you better figure out where the money’s coming from.” (CBS’ “60 Minutes,” 9/21/08)
Previously, Barack Obama Said His Plan Will Save The Average Person $2,500 Per Year And Will Cost Taxpayers Between $50-$65 Billion Per Year. “Obama said his plan could save the average consumer $2,500 a year and bring health care to all. Campaign aides estimated the cost of the program at $50 billion to $65 billion a year, financed largely by eliminating tax cuts for the wealthy that are scheduled to expire.” (Mike Glover, “The Time Has Come For Universal, Affordable Health Care, Obama Says,” The Associated Press, 5/29/07)
BARACK OBAMA’S CLAIM THAT HIS PLAN SAVES FAMILIES $2,500 IS BASED ON “MISLEADING MATH”
There Is “Zero Credible Evidence” That The Obama Plan Will Lower The Costs Insurance Premiums By $2,500, Which Is Based Off Of “Misleading Math”:
Obama’s Pledge To Lower Health Care Premiums By $2,500 In His First Term “Is A Matter Of Considerable Dispute” Among Experts. “In speech after speech, Senator Barack Obama has pledged that he will lower the country’s health care costs enough to ‘bring down premiums by $2,500 for the typical family.’ Moreover, Mr. Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, has promised that his health plan will be in place ‘by the end of my first term as president of the United States.’ Whether Mr. Obama can deliver is a matter of considerable dispute among health analysts and economists.” (Kevin Sack, “Obstacles For Obama In Meeting Health Care Goal,” The New York Times, 7/23/08)
A Health Policy Professor At The University Of North Carolina-Chapel Hill Said The Savings In The Obama Plan Are “Wishful Thinking.” “Jonathan B. Oberlander, who teaches health policy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, called it wishful thinking. ‘Do they have the potential to generate significant savings in the long run?’ Dr. Oberlander asked. ‘Yes. Do I believe they will produce substantial savings in the short run that can be used to finance Obama’s plan? No.’” (Kevin Sack, “Obstacles For Obama In Meeting Health Care Goal,” The New York Times, 7/23/08)
M.I.T.’s Jonathan Gruber Said That There Is “Zero Credible Evidence” That The Obama Plan Will Save The Average Family On The Costs Of Insurance Premiums. “Experts also are skeptical of both [Obama and Clinton's] claims that their plans will reduce the cost of insurance for the typical family by $2,000 or more. ‘I know zero credible evidence to support that conclusion,’ says M.I.T’s Jonathan Gruber.” (Factcheck.org Website, http://www.factcheck.org, Accessed 6/9/08)
Posted by: Lets Roll | October 7, 2008, 4:47 pm 4:47 pm
Factcheck.Org Said Obama’s Claim That His Plan Will Cut Insurance Premium Costs By $2,500 Is “A Bit Of Misleading Math.” “That’s a bit of misleading math. It assumes individual Americans will share in all of the savings for the health care system, which includes insurance companies, the government and health care providers. Obama claims families will save $2,500 under his plan, but they won’t see at least some of those savings directly in the form of lower premiums. And they may not see them indirectly either.” (Factcheck.Org, http://www.factcheck.org, Accessed 6/16/08)
BARACK OBAMA’S PLAN WILL BURDEN BUSINESSES WITH A MANDATE AND IS VAGUE ABOUT WHICH ONES ARE EXEMPT
Barack Obama’s Health Care Plan Requires Employers To Provide Insurance Or Contribute A Percentage Of Their Payroll To The Public Plan:
Barack Obama’s Plan Includes Required Employer Coverage Similar To The Failed Clinton Mandate Of 1993. “Obama would require almost all employers to offer insurance to workers or face a tax penalty, an idea that many businesses abhor and that is also in Edwards’s proposal. This employer mandate drove much of the opposition to the Clinton plan in 1994.” (Anne E. Kornblut and Perry Bacon Jr., “Obama Says Washington Is Ready For Health Plan,” The Washington Post, 5/30/07)
• “In Addition, Mandated Employer Coverage Has Faced Fierce Opposition In The Past And Likely Will Again, [New America Foundation Len] Nichols Said.” (JoNel Aleccia, “Overhauling Health Care: Two Divergent Visions,” MSNBC News, http://www.msnbc.msn.com, 9/22/08)
Barack Obama Is Vague On The Specifics Small Businesses Have To Meet In Order To Be Exempt From His Employer Mandate:
Obama’s Campaign Has Not “Put Out A Specific Number” When Asked To Identify Which Small Businesses Would Qualify For The Small Business Exemption And Tax Credit. “Under Obama’s health plan, businesses over an unspecified size would have to either make a ‘meaningful contribution’ to their employees’ health coverage or else pay an undefined percentage of payroll towards the costs of the national plan. Obama has also promised ‘small businesses’ that he would provide them with a refundable tax credit worth up to 50 percent of what they contribute towards their employees’ health premiums. ‘We haven’t put out a specific number,’ said Jason Furman, Obama’s director of economic policy, when asked by ABC News to identify who would be covered by Obama’s small business exemption and health-care tax credit.” (Gregory Wallace and Teddy Davis, “Obama Fuzzy On ‘Small Business’ Exemption,” ABC’s “Political Radar” Blog, blogs.abcnews.com, 8/5/08)
Obama’s Campaign Has Not Laid Out Details About How Much The Play Or Pay Or Tax Would Be For Those Who Don’t Offer Health Insurance Or Which Small Businesses Are Exempt. “The campaign has not said how large the tax would be for businesses that opt not to offer insurance, or how small a business would have to be to be excluded from the requirement. If the payroll tax is too low, say 6 percent, many businesses will opt to pay it instead of offering insurance, sending their employees into the public program and boosting federal costs, he noted.” (JoNel Aleccia, “Overhauling Health Care: Two Divergent Visions,” MSNBC News, http://www.msnbc.msn.com, 9/22/08)
Obama’s Staff “Declined To Be More Specific” For The Philadelphia Inquirer About His Employer Mandate. “Under [Obama's] plan, employers either would give employees ‘meaningful’ insurance coverage or pay a percentage of payroll to provide coverage for the uninsured. His staff declined to be more specific.” (Stacey Burling, “Clinton, Obama Differ Slightly On Health Plans,” The Philadelphia Inquirer, 4/15/08)
BARACK OBAMA SAID HIS PLAN MAY LEAD TO A SINGLE-PAYER PLAN “OVER TIME”
Barack Obama Suggested His Health Care Plan Could Lead To A Single-Payer System “Over Time”:
Barack Obama Says His Health Care Plan Could Lead To Single-Payer System “Over Time.” Obama: “If I were designing a system from scratch, then I’d probably set up a single-payer system. … But the problem is we’re not starting from scratch. … Making that transition in a rapid way I think would be very difficult. … So my attitude is let’s build up the system we got, let’s make it more efficient, we may be over time — as we make the system more efficient and everybody’s cover — decide that there are other ways for us to provide care more effectively.” (Barack Obama, Remarks At A Campaign Event, Albuquerque, NM, 8/18/08)
Barack Obama Was A Self-Described “Proponent” Of Single-Payer Health Care, But Later Backtracked:
Barack Obama Was A “Proponent Of A Single-Payer Health Care Program” And Said It Could Happen If Democrats Occupied The White House And A Majority In Congress. Obama: “I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer health care program. I see no reason why the United States of America, the wealthiest country in the history of the world cannot provide basic health insurance to everybody. A single-payer health care plan, a universal health care plan. And that’s what I’d like to see. And as all of you know, we may not get there immediately. Because first we have to take back the White House, we have to take back the Senate, we have to take back the House.” (Barack Obama, Remarks At AFL-CIO Forum, Chicago, IL, 6/30/03)
In 2008, Barack Obama Said He Would Only Support A Single-Payer System If “Starting From Scratch.” Obama: “[I] never said that we should try to go ahead and get single payer. What I said was that if I were starting from scratch, if we didn’t have a system in which employers had typically provided health care, I would probably go with a single-payer system.” (Barack Obama, CNN/Congressional Black Caucus Democrat Presidential Candidates Debate, Myrtle Beach, SC, 1/21/08)
KEY DEMOCRATS DOUBT THAT BARACK OBAMA’S PLAN WILL PASS
Senate Democrats Are Already Raising Doubts About The Likelihood That The Obama Plan Will Pass:
Senior Congressional Democrats Are “Maneuvering To Lower Public Expectations” Of Barack Obama’s Health Care Promises. “Congressional Democrats are backing away from healthcare reform promises made by their two presidential candidates, saying that even if their party controls the White House and Congress, sweeping change will be difficult. It is still seven months before Election Day, but already senior Democrats are maneuvering to lower public expectations on the key policy issue.” (Manu Raju, “Dems Hedge On Healthcare,” The Hill, 4/23/08)
Barack Obama’s Promises To Deliver Universal Care On The Campaign Trail “May Not Match The Political Reality On Capitol Hill.” “For some senators, the promises made by Sens. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) outside of Washington may not match the political reality on Capitol Hill.” (Manu Raju, “Dems Hedge On Healthcare,” The Hill, 4/23/08)

Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) On The Obama Health Care Plan: “We all know there is not enough money to do all this stuff. . What they are doing is…laying out their ambitions.” (Manu Raju, “Dems Hedge On Healthcare,” The Hill, 4/23/08)
Sen. Chuck Schumer Questions If The U.S. Is “Ready For A Major National Heath Care Plan.” “Sen. Charles Schumer (N.Y.), a member of Senate Democratic leadership and a key Hillary Clinton ally who also sits on the Finance Committee, said he is ‘not sure we have the big plan on healthcare. … Healthcare I feel strongly about, but I am not sure that we’re ready for a major national healthcare plan,’ Schumer said.” (Manu Raju, “Dems Hedge On Healthcare,” The Hill, 4/23/08)
IN ILLINOIS, OBAMA HAD A “PERFECT VOTING RECORD” IN FAVOR OF STATE MANDATES
In Illinois, Barack Obama Had A “Perfect Voting Record” On Insurance Mandates That Are Now In Place In Illinois And Have Increased The Cost Of Health Care In Illinois:
“Obama Voted For All” Of The 18 Insurance Mandates That Passed During His Time As A State Senator. “Today, the requirement is one of 43 mandates imposed by Illinois on health insurance, according to the Illinois Division of Insurance. … By my count, during Mr. Obama’s tenure in the state Senate, 18 different laws came up for a vote and passed that imposed new mandates on private health insurance. Mr. Obama voted for all of them.” (Scott Gottlieb, Op-Ed, “Obama’s Health Care Record,” The Wall Street Journal, 5/5/08)
According To American Enterprise Institute’s Scott Gottlieb, Barack Obama Had A “Perfect Voting Record” On Enacting State Mandates That Have Increased Insurance Costs. Gottlieb: “The fact is that about 18 in all, bills came up – public acts came up that would impose new mandates on private insurance plans about things they had to cover and [Obama] voted for all of them. He had a perfect voting record. We know as a matter of policy, these state mandates end up increasing cost. Many of them are pushed by special minutes the states. In the case of dental anesthesia, pushed by the dentists, this is far more complicated dental procedures. Nonetheless, these are things that people may be willing to fund out of pocket or partially pay for. By mandating them, insurance companies need to cover the cost, it ends up increasing the cost of health insurance and cost of basic policies which in many cases is all people can afford.” (CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” 5/6/08)
Barack Obama “Clearly” Did Not Stand Up To Special Interest In Illinois By Consistently Voting In Favor Of Insurance Mandates. Gottlieb: “[B]arack Obama was hardly alone for voting for state mandates. In fairness, they have become less popular because a lot of states are realizing they do increase the cost of health insurance. But he’s out on the campaign trail talking about his willingness to stand up to special interests in order to control costs. In the state of Illinois, he clearly didn’t do that. He voted for all of these state mandates. In fact, he voted for a lot of additional insurance regulation, some of which we didn’t count because we didn’t feel it fit the mold of what you call a mandate. If you include the insurance regulation he voted for, voting record was 21 out of 21 public acts that came up.” (CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” 5/6/08
Barack Obama’s Health Care Record
ARLINGTON, VA — With Barack Obama lying about John McCain’s health care plan today, please find below the facts about Barack Obama’s health care record:
BARACK OBAMA RECENTLY ACKNOWLEDGED HIS PLAN WILL COST AT LEAST $150 BILLION A YEAR
Despite What He Claimed Today, Barack Obama Recently Said His Plan Will Cost At Least $150 Billion, Despite Earlier Claims That It Will Cost Much Less:
Barack Obama Said On “60 Minutes” That His Plan Would Cost At Least $150 Billion. CBS’ Steve Kroft: “How much is it going to cost? $150 billion it’s going to cost, right?” Obama: “It is. It is. But we pay for every dime that we propose to spend. I believe in pay as you go. That if you want to propose a new program, you better cut some old ones. If you want to expand a program, then you better figure out where the money’s coming from.” (CBS’ “60 Minutes,” 9/21/08)
Previously, Barack Obama Said His Plan Will Save The Average Person $2,500 Per Year And Will Cost Taxpayers Between $50-$65 Billion Per Year. “Obama said his plan could save the average consumer $2,500 a year and bring health care to all. Campaign aides estimated the cost of the program at $50 billion to $65 billion a year, financed largely by eliminating tax cuts for the wealthy that are scheduled to expire.” (Mike Glover, “The Time Has Come For Universal, Affordable Health Care, Obama Says,” The Associated Press, 5/29/07)
BARACK OBAMA’S CLAIM THAT HIS PLAN SAVES FAMILIES $2,500 IS BASED ON “MISLEADING MATH”
There Is “Zero Credible Evidence” That The Obama Plan Will Lower The Costs Insurance Premiums By $2,500, Which Is Based Off Of “Misleading Math”:
Obama’s Pledge To Lower Health Care Premiums By $2,500 In His First Term “Is A Matter Of Considerable Dispute” Among Experts. “In speech after speech, Senator Barack Obama has pledged that he will lower the country’s health care costs enough to ‘bring down premiums by $2,500 for the typical family.’ Moreover, Mr. Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, has promised that his health plan will be in place ‘by the end of my first term as president of the United States.’ Whether Mr. Obama can deliver is a matter of considerable dispute among health analysts and economists.” (Kevin Sack, “Obstacles For Obama In Meeting Health Care Goal,” The New York Times, 7/23/08)
A Health Policy Professor At The University Of North Carolina-Chapel Hill Said The Savings In The Obama Plan Are “Wishful Thinking.” “Jonathan B. Oberlander, who teaches health policy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, called it wishful thinking. ‘Do they have the potential to generate significant savings in the long run?’ Dr. Oberlander asked. ‘Yes. Do I believe they will produce substantial savings in the short run that can be used to finance Obama’s plan? No.’” (Kevin Sack, “Obstacles For Obama In Meeting Health Care Goal,” The New York Times, 7/23/08)
M.I.T.’s Jonathan Gruber Said That There Is “Zero Credible Evidence” That The Obama Plan Will Save The Average Family On The Costs Of Insurance Premiums. “Experts also are skeptical of both [Obama and Clinton's] claims that their plans will reduce the cost of insurance for the typical family by $2,000 or more. ‘I know zero credible evidence to support that conclusion,’ says M.I.T’s Jonathan Gruber.” (Factcheck.org Website, http://www.factcheck.org, Accessed 6/9/08)
Factcheck.Org Said Obama’s Claim That His Plan Will Cut Insurance Premium Costs By $2,500 Is “A Bit Of Misleading Math.” “That’s a bit of misleading math. It assumes individual Americans will share in all of the savings for the health care system, which includes insurance companies, the government and health care providers. Obama claims families will save $2,500 under his plan, but they won’t see at least some of those savings directly in the form of lower premiums. And they may not see them indirectly either.” (Factcheck.Org, http://www.factcheck.org, Accessed 6/16/08)

BARACK OBAMA’S PLAN WILL BURDEN BUSINESSES WITH A MANDATE AND IS VAGUE ABOUT WHICH ONES ARE EXEMPT
Barack Obama’s Health Care Plan Requires Employers To Provide Insurance Or Contribute A Percentage Of Their Payroll To The Public Plan:
Barack Obama’s Plan Includes Required Employer Coverage Similar To The Failed Clinton Mandate Of 1993. “Obama would require almost all employers to offer insurance to workers or face a tax penalty, an idea that many businesses abhor and that is also in Edwards’s proposal. This employer mandate drove much of the opposition to the Clinton plan in 1994.” (Anne E. Kornblut and Perry Bacon Jr., “Obama Says Washington Is Ready For Health Plan,” The Washington Post, 5/30/07)
• “In Addition, Mandated Employer Coverage Has Faced Fierce Opposition In The Past And Likely Will Again, [New America Foundation Len] Nichols Said.” (JoNel Aleccia, “Overhauling Health Care: Two Divergent Visions,” MSNBC News, http://www.msnbc.msn.com, 9/22/08)
Barack Obama Is Vague On The Specifics Small Businesses Have To Meet In Order To Be Exempt From His Employer Mandate:
Obama’s Campaign Has Not “Put Out A Specific Number” When Asked To Identify Which Small Businesses Would Qualify For The Small Business Exemption And Tax Credit. “Under Obama’s health plan, businesses over an unspecified size would have to either make a ‘meaningful contribution’ to their employees’ health coverage or else pay an undefined percentage of payroll towards the costs of the national plan. Obama has also promised ‘small businesses’ that he would provide them with a refundable tax credit worth up to 50 percent of what they contribute towards their employees’ health premiums. ‘We haven’t put out a specific number,’ said Jason Furman, Obama’s director of economic policy, when asked by ABC News to identify who would be covered by Obama’s small business exemption and health-care tax credit.” (Gregory Wallace and Teddy Davis, “Obama Fuzzy On ‘Small Business’ Exemption,” ABC’s “Political Radar” Blog, blogs.abcnews.com, 8/5/08)
Obama’s Campaign Has Not Laid Out Details About How Much The Play Or Pay Or Tax Would Be For Those Who Don’t Offer Health Insurance Or Which Small Businesses Are Exempt. “The campaign has not said how large the tax would be for businesses that opt not to offer insurance, or how small a business would have to be to be excluded from the requirement. If the payroll tax is too low, say 6 percent, many businesses will opt to pay it instead of offering insurance, sending their employees into the public program and boosting federal costs, he noted.” (JoNel Aleccia, “Overhauling Health Care: Two Divergent Visions,” MSNBC News, http://www.msnbc.msn.com, 9/22/08)

Palin’s having her witch doctor put a spell on everyone.
He missed and tanked the Dow Jones instead.
But did you know…McCain tool money from William Ayers’ friend Arnie Weber?
“John McCain has accepted over one thousand dollars in campaign money from Arnie Weber, a known associate of ‘domestic terrorist’ William Ayers.” “Arnold R. “Arnie” Weber was Assistant Secretary of Labor and Associate Director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Richard Nixon. Arnie Weber, who also held several other Washington insider jobs, is a former president of the Commercial Club of Chicago’s Civic Committee and is a longtime Republican donor. Most startlingly, from 1995 through 1999, Arnie Weber was a Board Member of the infamous Chicago Annnenberg Challenge founded by known domestic terrorist Bill Ayers.”
Walter Annenberg, a lifelong Republican and former ambassador who was appointed by Presidents Nixon and Reagan, funded an ambitious program to reform urban education in many cities in the mid 1990s. Ayers was an important member of the group that developed and wrote the grant proposal to the Annenberg Foundation.
“It was never a concern by any of us in the Chicago school reform movement that he had led a fugitive life years earlier,” said former Illinois state Republican Rep. Diana Nelson, who worked with both Obama and Ayers over the years. “It’s ridiculous. There is no reason at all to smear Barack Obama with this association. It’s nonsensical, and it just makes me crazy. It’s so silly.”

Have we checked out the political leanings of every person who has been on a Board of Directors with Cindy McCain? If that much association with Ayers is so dangerous, we should make sure she isn’t bringing in terrorist ‘cooties’ from her Board meetings. —- Can it get any more ridiculous? (No, don’t answer that.)

Lets Roll, you seemed to have left out McCain’s (disastrous) health care plan.
“McCain’s plan to tax workers on the value of their employer-provided health care plans and provide tax credits would encourage some employers, mainly small businesses, to drop health benefits, and the proposal could eventually eliminate job-based insurance altogether.”
“[McCain] promises “every American family a $5,000 refundable tax credit” so families can purchase their own insurance policies. (Individuals would receive $2,500.)”
“The average annual premium costs for a family with employer-sponsored insurance was $12,106 in 2007, and it was $4,479 for a single person”
