Nadler Criticizes Obama’s ‘Courage’

McCain/Bush made gigantic mistakes in their bumbling of the war, the economy, foreign relations, etc. And what do they have combined, 50 years of experience?

Sallie,
you are correct, and i just hope the american’ left to vote will see all things related to bush need to go. they have recked our country.
the republican party needs to go away and regroup and comeback in two or four.
this country is on it’ knees now.
if mccain is elected it will be flat on it’s back with many more lives being lost for Mccain
VICTORY IN IRAQ scheme.
I wish the msm would try to find some positive things to report on.
all of this stuff we are reading hear lately, we can find in the national enquirer.

This is the second reference to Ann Rand. First, the Ann Rand coined phrase, the virtue of selfishness, and now the name of the website, Atlas Shrugged, a title of one of he novels. I doubt if the McCain fans who hang out here are aware of her literary significance and popularity with the Republican Party. I don’t think Ann Rand would be a good interview question on Fox for Palin.

Please, please, please spare us another reference to Ayn Rand. I will offer my first-born grandchild. What is with the Ayn Rand fixation? It is worse than the Biden fixation.

Thank you Nadler you are a patriot.
Look at what the Democrats are trying to pass now and will with the help of Obama.
Nancy Pelosi energy bill. All fossil fuel off limits forever. Shut down all coal power plants nuclear power off limits forever. Is this energy independence.
The Fairness Act giving government the final say so on what you say on TV and Radio. Goodbye freedom of speech.
A bill to make the secret ballot for union elections to go away. Next we will lose the secret ballot on all elections. Hello voter intimidation.
These bills are already on the floor of Congress along with another 300 billion in spending.
Is this the change you want no energy independence, no free speech, no private vote.
That is what you are voting for with Obama.
Please vote for John Mccain.

I think most of the public got sick of hearing about Jeremiah Wright back in the Democratic primaries. The story has been exhausted among reasonable Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.

This must really disappoint you Jake and fellow ObamACORNs.
Frankly, as much as I can’t stomach Nader and want McCain-Palin to win, I admire him for his own personal courage.
Hopefully, we can win this thing without having to replay the Nader comments. But knowing the vindictiveness of the Pelosi regime, Nader could be in big trouble for stating the obvious.

Obama is a politician with a great campaign manager.
He is smoother than most, dirtier than some.
He is a wimp who always takes the easy road… as with his countless use of the yellow “present” vote… a position in which he excells.
Yeh, he’ soundz good until you realize that what he’s orating is the same spiel Bush gave us eight and four years ago.
CHANGE. HAH! Bush GAVE us change!
Did you like it?
The next four years will be rocky;
We do NOT need a sweet talking Chicago politician at our helm!
We need someone with guts and experience, someone who will put this country first…. someone who is not just an empty suit and the sultry appeal of a pied piper!
Be careful what you wish for!
Be careful who you vote for.
Neither candidate can live up to his promises, but McCain can keep us safer.

SAY NO TO OBAMA FOR THE SAKE OF AMERICA AND ISRAEL .VOTE FOR MCCAIN

Obama has hidden every possible piece of harmful information. He has never been a leader but just a continuing candidate. He voted “present” most of the time when in the IL senate and ducks whenever anything demands making a choice. His “friends” are all communists, marxists, socialists and terrorists but he will distance himself as much as he can from them when those relationships make him look bad. His rhetoric changes with the political wind. His plans for tax increases will cripple this country. He first said that everyone earning under $250K would get a tax break and that the “wealthy” who earn over that (those “selfish” and non “patriotic” folks who don’t want to “share the wealth” with folks who pay NO taxes at all!!!!) would subsidize these tax breaks. Now it is down to $120K.

Give the poor guy some slack, after all, how would anyone explain Obama being in Rev Wright’s church for 20+ years???!!

Barack Obama will be the next president of the United States! 2 more days till the country can finally unite, White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, native American, etc etc. I can’t wait!

kim,
what makes YOU so sure obama has hidden anything?

I know we are moving to a new and glorious phase in our human existence on this earth.
we have:
One God
One Planet
we are
One People.
ONE PLANET, ONE PEOPLE, PLEASE
and with all American pulling together,
we will LEAD the world in this.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08,for a united people

The candidate that promises the most and gets the majority of people to believe it, is elected. People need to wake up and pay off their debt. There is a foul wind about Barack Obama that is just beginning to blow. I think this election is going to surprise people with some kind of weird finish.

kathy,
This IS a big deal.
Especially when some people refer to him as the Messiah, and others want to put an end to Israel!

to kathy .do u know all dictators and tyrants had big crowds attending their rallys .read and study history .vote mccain

It’s interesting that whenever someone, as Jake described it, puts their foot in their mouth it is usually because they are stating the truth.
Jake’s criticism of Rep Nadler is, “only a novice would make such a mistake!” Jake is directing the fire toward Rep. Nadler by, in effect, saying Nadler is pol and as one he is suppose to obscure the truth so he is therefore not doing a good job. I respect Jake’s work, but man that is just too cynical! How about, instead, as a citizen and journalist contemplating what Rep. Nadler said?
You want to call Rep. Nadler’s statement a “gaffe”? That is fine. But don’t forget what a gaffe is.
A gaffe is when a person accidentally voices the thruth.

This guy is in no position to talk about experience as being beneficial to one’s performance.

Guess McCain was lying when he said that Barack Obama was a good American, a decent man who loved his family, and that there was nothing for anyone to be afraid of should be become President. (I mean, if there was, McCain, an honorable man who was not born in this country, would be screaming his head off with details for months rather than just making inneuendos.) But some of you are terribly smart…but, isn’t it funny, the “facts” only started coming out when McCain was slipping in the polls, and the “facts” have been the same old “facts” since Nixon started his campaigns of destroy the other candidate (not that he always could). It is painful to read some of these comments of people who really don’t know what the issues are. But you are willing to be told the smear of the day and believe it. Oh, by the way, Jeremiah Wright has long been considered a major representative of Christianity in this country and was invited a few times to the White House by both parties. He is perhaps a remnant of an older time, but he did model his preaching on the prophet Jeremiah. Those of you who don’t know the prophet Jeremiah might try looking him up and finding out what he was about. If you dare to cloud your mind with a little thinking of your own. anyway, enjoy going to the polls and voting YOUR minds on Tuesday.

Sam,
I hope you are right. I am not proud of my country if they elect Obama. It will break my heart and be a very sad day for my family. It will be a sad day for this country.

It’s funny how McCain and his supporters don’t believe the polls when they are going against them, but if it weren’t going against them.. would they believe the polls? Yeah most likely.
The fact is that Jewish Americans believe in Obama’s message of Peace and Unity, not McCain and Palin’s message of divide and distract to win an election.

no, alex, that would be John mccain’ next move in his support of the bush national security doctrine.
where have you been.
bush already has the right to tap your phone, and people have had their doors cracked down, and people have disappeared.
our allies are losing patience with us.
france and germany already see they have leaders are smarter than who we have now. and since mccain has not told us otherwise, there is no reason he will not continue to do what bush has already started. mccain has been in support of bush all the way, why would he make a radical turn and do something else, if mccain was such a mavrick, he would not be having the trouble he is having now. don’t tell me you are a mavrick, show me.
no as brother joe said, mccain has not been a mavrick when it comes to bush,
he has- been a “sidekick”-riding shotgun.
our allies will not stomach more war.
and mccain wants victory in iraq.
well, as soon as he starts that, we will start to have national security problems. and to counter that, if you still have a door (since mccain economic policies are lock step with bush) no reason to thing mccain is going to do anything radical on the economic side different from bush
so the economy will cont’ to slide.
if your door is knocked down, you may not need to worry about it, you will probally be in iraq.
mccain said he did not know anything about the economy, he was probally going to need to rely on vp or someone else-to me that was ok, that signaled
he was going to pick romney-should have been the one.
but what did the mavrick do?
grabbed someone none of us knew anything about.
and it tell me no only does mccain not know how to run a campaign, hence will not know how to run this country.
he probally does not surround himself with anyone who knows anything, or he will not listen.
if his wife runs a successful business,
she should have been a great counsel,and advised him on his vp pick.
she looks like she would have told him
“no, you are making a mistake”
the only reason i can imagine cindy mccain would not have said that to john mccain, is because, she knew he would not listen.
mccain maybe more like bush than we think.
he said he did not know anything about the economy.
when someone tells you something straight out…you better believe them.
noway, no how, no mccain.-HRC

Sam,
Believe in what you want to.
Kathy even wants to take your hopes away from you. As if it is killing her that you and your family are hoping for a Mccain victory. You have not given up. Good for you. That is a fighting American spirit.

Nothing that Obama says or does holds much interest to me. The man is corrupt and without a core. He embodies everything I detest in another human being: cold, arrogant, disinterested, uninformed, humorless, entitled, smug, and untrustworthy.
The idolatry leaves me questioning why so many intelligent people, those we have come to look up to, would accept this man as a leader. Head scratching.

People go to Obama’s rallies for different reasons. I took my kids out of school so they could see him first hand. Obama is a real statesman with the vision and courage to lead our country.
His rallies are impactful as I was with two staunch Republican friends who were nervous about attending. They just cast their votes for Obama in early voting last week.

Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-NY just admit it… you can offer excuses… be a man and just say it… He’s black!
I am a democrat, I donated a lot of money, and I early voted for Obama.
I’m glad that I’m not in your district Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-NY, I would have to vote Republican just to vote againest your racist hinnie!

Nothing that Obama says or does holds much interest to me. The man is corrupt and without a core. He embodies everything I detest in another human being: cold, arrogant, disinterested, uninformed, humorless, entitled, smug, and untrustworthy.

That’s really sad that you feel close enough to Obama to feel so passionately strongly against him.

Do you think calling Obama a messiah or emphasizing his middle name is going to help McCain?

Obama Called Out for Comments About Bankrupting Coal Fired Power Plants Save Email Print
Posted: 7:27 PM Nov 2, 2008
Last Updated: 10:45 PM Nov 2,
——————————————————————————–
A | A | A CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) — With only hours before election day, coal has become a major topic of Decision 2008.
Sunday comments surfaced from a taped interview Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama did with the San Francisco Chronicle in January.
In the interview, which has been available online for months, Obama talks about the importance of coal. He went on to talk about his cap and trade proposal to help curb global warming.
“If somebody wants to build a coal power plant they can, it’s just that it will bankrupt them because they are going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted,” Barack Obama said to the San Francisco Chronicle in January.
The campaign for Republican presidential candidate John McCain jumped on those comments today and is already sending out taped phone messages to voters in Ohio.
Campaigning in Marietta today, McCain’s running mate Sarah Palin mentioned the Obama comments.
“He said that, sure, if the industry wants to build coal-fired power plants, then they can go ahead and try, he says, but they can do it only in a way that will bankrupt the coal industry, and he’s comfortable letting that happen. And you got to listen to the tape,” Sarah Palin said.
The Obama campaign says the quote is being taken out of context and that Obama is actually from a coal state and is a strong supporter of the industry.
The campaign sent a statement today saying “the point Obama is making is that we need a transition from coal burning power plants built with old technology to plants built with advanced technologies.”
VOTE MCCAIN VOTE MCCAIN

as the smell of Republican desperation fills the air, one wonders what the ‘self righteous’ right-wing will do late night Nov. 4th…….until then,
a final flurry of hate, fear, lies and innuendo……and then well deserved obscurity and derision.

“The Obama campaign says the quote is being taken out of context and that Obama is actually from a coal state and is a strong supporter of the industry.”
___
,, AND WHAT STATE WOULD THAT BE?
The 57th?
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

kim, still has not told us why she/he is so sure obama is hiding something.
kim, why are you so sure obama is hiding something?

if the republican so how find a way to steal this election.
and john mccain wins,
it will only be because God and the Cosmos has decided that it really is time for the decline of the united states as we have known it.
and that may not be such a bad thing.
it is time for us the join the rest of the world, instead of thinking we rule the world.
no john mccain is not george bush.
but if john mccain had been half of the mavrick he is telling us he is-maybe he could have kicked up enough dust,to have stopped some of the things the bush adm. has done to this country and around the world.
you mccain supporters, who want mccain to win so bad, it must not matter to you
how bad our standing is with the rest of the allied world.
bush invading iraq, was a wrong headed move.
mccain losing will signal to the rest of the world we are trying to right the wrong we have done.
if obama does half of what he is saying he will try to get done, we will all be better off in four years.
if obama does not do half of what he is saying he will try to do. at least, by we, the american people electing him
we will say to the world we tried to make it better.
a mccain presidency at this time, will be the wrong thing all around for the usa and the world.
this country has been snake bit by the republican party, we need to give this a rest this time around.

Now, what does it tell me?” Nadler asked. “It tells me that he wasn’t terribly political courageous.”
Courage, poltical-wise and just plain being a man-wise? Hmmm. McCain or Obama?.. McCain or Obama?
I think we all know the answer to that one.
McCain. He made one mistake and has owned up to it ever since anytime someone asks. That being the Keating Five. (By the way the Democratic investigatot on that case, esteemed lawyer Bob Bennet, said McCain’s involvemant was minimal and he shouldn’t have been tarred with the brush as the the other four Senators, all Democrats.)
Obama, on the other hand, conveniently plays stupid when asked about Ayers, Rev. Wright, Restko and countless other scuzzy assocaites. He is either stupid or a coward.
But he talks good. Whoopee.

What will really be interesting is how good at marginalizing themselves Republicans will be. After Nov. 4th, Palin will become the new best buddy of the right-wing fringe hate crowd. They will most likely try and make her into their new theocratic ‘leader’.

You gotta admit Nadler offers new insight into the mind of Obama. Obama is a politician’s politician. “You don’t walk away from an 8,000 member church” even if the pastor is a lunatic. Get ready for the Obama ride folks, it’s going to be a wild one.

he is an imbecile

cara:
you do know that John McCain thought Khalidi was a good guy….
the International Republican Institute, with McCain at the helm, gave Khalidi’s Centre for Palestine Research and Studies a $448,000 grant in the late 1990s.
I know it doesn’t serve your perverse rhetoric but it is the truth, and it’s accurate.

and why could his being a community organizer not be for good reason, just as he said?
i think some of you people have transferred onto obama what you would do.
why could’t the man have been a community organizer as a part of his civic duty.
“to whom much is given, much is expected’
he saw a need and saw he could fill it
why does it need to be anything more than that?

G-d has nothing to do with politics.
That is a realm way below His realm.
If this country enters a decline, it will because of our poor choices, not because of “G-d’s will”!
“Render unto Caesar …..”
Remember that, ye friends, Virginians and other countrymen?
Don’t blame “G-d” for the mistakes we make with our gifted free will!

to all of you obama haters,
when i think about it, and read your comments, i can see why it is easy for you not to believe anything these politician tell you, i mean after you fell for bush and his crew, and saw what a job they have done to this country, it would be hard to believe.
but what i don’t understand is John mccain has told you nothing new, offers more of the same, really, it is not just a catchy campaign sloagan, he has offered nothing in the way of helping the poor and middle class.
john mccain should not win, just on the principle, that smart thinking people would not vote for any republican this time around, no matter who it is, after what they have done,
better off than we were eight years?
we are worse off than i have ever seen in my lifetime. and i am all most sixty years old.
most of the elected republican officials who are up for re-election cannot stand bush or mccain, because they know how terrible things are in our country right now.
why aren’t there more people outraged at what has happened to our country.
this election we, the american people should send a message loud and clear to both parties, and other group that would want to be the leaders of our country.
vote no on republicans this time around
to teach them a lesson, and next time,
dems and reps. will not try and pawn the likes of bush and cheney off on us again.
wake up people.
mccain has to pay for george bush and cheney’ messing up this country.
mccain will not win.

McCain and Palin need an attitude adjustment. McCain has such a big chip on his shoulder. I think it is terrible how he handled his campaign. Obama is stern, but, yet gentle, do not underestimate Obama he is no pushover, should he get knocked down he will get up, and dust himself off. Obama will use diplomacy first, before he would use muscle. I have already voted, my vote was for Obama and Biden.

“I made some terrible mistakes in office, when I was district leader, no one remembers what they are.”
I don’t understand why some people insist on judging others based on the low standards they set for themselves. I have known Obama for some time now, have read his policy papers, his op-eds (very telling) and his books. I have watched his campaign closely. I have watched how he interacts with others and gets his message across. I have seen how he tries his best not to make big mistakes. You, Congressman Nadler, are no Obama.

This is good stuff. Real, visceral stuff, Jake. Thanks for having the courage to put this out there for all to see.

And then, the line that may haunt Nadler for four years or longer: “He didn’t have the political courage to make the statement of walking out.”
Finally, someone on the Democratic side admits, inadvertently but still true, “the emperor has no clothes”… Eh, erase that “‘the one’ has no clothes.”
______________
The Emperor realized that the people were right but could not admit to that. He though it better to continue the procession under the illusion that anyone who couldn’t see his clothes was either stupid or incompetent. And he stood stiffly on his carriage, while behind him a page held his imaginary mantle

MCCAIN IS A DEAD MAN WALKING !!!
ZERO CHANCE OF WINNING THE WHITE HOUSE !!!
NOT NOW NOR EVER !!!!!!!!
PALIN ZERO CHANCE OF BEING VP OR POTUS !!!~!~
NOT NOW NOR EVER !!!!!!!!
GOT IT ????????
NOW……. YOU GOPs…… GOT TO YOUR UNDERGROUND HEADQUARTERS AND LICK YOUR BLOODY WOUNDS !!!!!!!!!!!!

Americans have voted in Isreal and McCain wins. No doubt….Obama’s aura of Anti Semitism is palpable. Be wary my Jewish friends.

Marxist Media Theory Daniel Chandler Herbert Marcuse, in One-Dimensional Man (1972), presented the media very pessimistically as an irresistible force:
The means of… communication…, the irresistible output of the entertainment and information industry carry with them prescribed attitudes and habits, certain intellectual and emotional reactions which bind the consumers… to the producers and, through the latter to the whole [social system]. The products indoctrinate and manipulate; they promote a false consciousness which is immune against its falsehood… Thus emerges a pattern of one-dimensional thought and behaviour. (Marcuse, cited in Bennett 1982: 43).

Kathy, people show up at obama’s rallys to support him because they fall for his lies. They know he sat in the hateful church but believe his lie that he never heard Wright say anything against America. Obama surrounds himself with terrorist and marxist firendss, yet they refuse to see that his friends want to destroy America and everything it stands for. Any freedom loving American should walk away from Obama.He is a major liar, deceiver and manipulator.

“He starts off my saying he has no idea of what he’s talking about. And then he proceeds to open mouth, insert foot.”
When one is too eager to share something negative about Obama, it shows in the mistakes — in your case the typos, Jake.
Have a nice day.
Obama/Biden 08!

Funny how when the lying Democrats are not in front of a teleprompter they also say the truth about Obama just like BIDEN did a few days ago did.
Obama is just like a product you buy off an INFOMERCIAL. You suckers are going hook, line and sinker over this lying phony. Obama and his terrorist friends are laughing at all the fools who voted for him

I suggest you Obama haters take a little time to convene and start your “Impeach him now!!” rhetoric on the 5th (because we know you don’t have enough sense to actually wait until he’s in office) – go ahead….no one cares. We’re all just laughing at you now as you completely implode. I hope it hurts, just knowing that no amount of smearing and lying has worked! LOL
OBAMA-BIDEN BABY!!!

Obama has not had any courage to do anything other than play the blame game sprinkled every once in a while with the RACE CARD.

I agree Nadler put his foot in his mouth, he was simply making assumptions on Baraks decisions, and we can’t go into another mans head and know why he does what he does. None of us are mind readers. I think the man is honorable, and truthful, I will trust what he tells me his thoughts were. And hey, we’ve all made big mistakes in life, it looks to me like Senator Obama has made allot less than most of us.

Delaware has Biden. The Upper West Side of Manhattan has Nadler. Congressman…if you “have no personal knowledge” of what you’re about to say, it’s probably better if you don’t say it.

*yawn*
One time, I heard that my neighbor’s cousin’s daughter’s boyfriend said that he thought Obama wanted to buy a pair of tennis shoes to play basketball. Can you believe it?!
(Jake, is this investigative journalism?)
Obama/Biden 08!

Off subject, but has anyone had the same
thought as me? That John McCain is in
the prime of his senility?

The little name stealers are just desperate Republicans trying to hang onto a sinking boat. Oh Wednesday will be sweet revenge.

What this shows it is very difficult to explain Obama’s behavior and maintain that Obama has all positive qualities. Nadler is trying to explain that Obama is not an extremist.
Unfortunately one has to say Obama is an extremist and hangs around with extremists or that Obama is a Machiavellian hypocrite – those are the options.

An “honorable” man doesn’t sit in a church with a hate spewing pastor for 20 years. Nor does an honorable man take his children there.

Cathy: “at least when he and the rest of the Democrats ruin this country with their own agenda at least I didn’t pick him,”
A lot of people thought that when the Republicans took over both the White House and the Congress. After Katrina, Iraq, the economy, a doubling of the national debt, etc – the amount of damage their incompetence has done won’t be fully paid off until our grandchildren.

What this election has taught the young people. Money can buy you anything.

Oh Lordy! Is there no end to this crap? They just keep coming up with this bogus crap, they want to use the internet now to further their objective, let’s watch for this so called ‘breaking news’ bet we don’t see it. Their just fishing for the gullible, hoping to swing a few votes, pathetic.

We have an economic crisis which can be traced to social engineering taking precedence over sound economics, led by the liberals and first started under Jimmy Carter (CRA – 1977). Thanks Jimmuh.
We have the huge hurdle of dealing with the Middle East which has always been a sore spot in world affairs. We used to have them at least in some control until the CIA was pulled out of Iran and left the U.S. with huge holes in intelligence. At the same time we withdrew our support of the Shah and that was when radical Islam took hold with the Ayotollah Khomeini (sp?). Who to thank? Jimmuh Carter.
The punch line? I voted for that clown when I was 19 years old and thought I was doing to right thing. I was completely clueless. I had youth as an excuse and within four years I had it figured out and helped to get rid of him.
Be prepared, all of you in your teens who are voting for the first time. This is different than voting for your high school class president. This has consequences that may follow you for the rest of your entire life and many of them may not be pretty at all.
In fact, I would be willing to bet that 20% of you first time voters will be voting against Obama in four years.
Hey, save yourself the expensive lesson. Just use your brain TODAY and think about the heritage of individual liberties that have been the backbone of our society. Think about the system of government that has, at least until now, rewarded hard work and ingenuity. Think about the fact that the U.S. won the cold war with a socialist behemoth, NOT, as Barack stated, because the world stood united, but rather because the UNITED STATED stood ALONE in freedom-loving defiance of a nation hell-bent on destroying us and everything we stood for at the time.
Of course, the seeds of soclialism still remained in our soil. Alinksy, Ayers from the more academic side and Wright from the rear flank of religion.
Without the seeds of socialistic change having been planted in this country over the last five decades, Obama would have no chance of serious consideration.
Vote for him tomorrow and you are asking for the U.S. to become beholded to the U.N., and the last of the world’s superpowers to give up that status in order to appease the rest of the jealous world.
Don’t do what I did when I was 19. Don’t vote for change out of mindless reflex.

Poster equates Andy Griffith, Obama as American as apple pie. Gag me again? Obama is an arugula man and Griffith is on memory pills and depends. Both Obama and Griffith have no connection to main stream America anymore, if Obama ever did in the first place.

martine: ”
jhw — how much hate counts, jhw? five min of rev wright is plenty.
twenty years is unbelievable.”
Why are you ignoring my point? Out of almost a decade of video taped sermons available, why is it Republicans can only find 5 minutes of comments offensive out of tens of thousands of minutes of material?
Also, have you listened to the sermons to hear the quotes IN CONTEXT? I have, and I do not find them hateful towards America. Certainly last-generation railing about racial prejudice, but the man is a Marine and a black man whose parents experienced institutionalized racism – he has earned the right to criticize America and he has reason to be bitter.
I worship god, not America, so I may be able to have a bit more of a rational view of the subject. I also believe America is plenty strong enough to take criticism as long as it is not violent (like notorious conservative Timothy McVeigh).

My 13 year old son said it best:
“On Wednesday, how can the new president start to govern the country? Half of the country will be mad at the other half. How can Senator McCain win if he tells so many lies about people? And if he does win, maybe kids will think that if you lie, it’s no big deal. He lied and he’s the President. It just doesn’t seem right.”

McCain was ‘Very Honored’ to be endorsed by a Pastor who called the Catholic Church the “great hoar”???
Hmmm. My Catholic relatives might be interested to know that.

“Oh Lordy! Is there no end to this crap?”
You mean, is there no end to quoting Obama’s own words?
What a terrible thing to do.
You know what’s really crap? Liberals who claim to be Obama supporters

drjohn: “Give me a break.”
From Rev. Wright’s notorious sermon:
“God Damn America as long as she tries to act like she is God and she is Supreme. ”
For that you would condemn a Marine? And where is his “racist hate speech,” given in front of many white members of his church? Do you understant what racism is? Have you EVER seen a KKK rally with even a single black man or woman in attendance?
You are choosing to be ignorant and led by the Republicans. Try looking at reality and thinking for yourself a bit.

Voiceofreason: So you believe that your pick BO is correct but those that don’t support him are losers? Amazing!! We don’t follow the crows, we don’t jump on someones band wagon, we still believe in free speech, etc.and we have a right to to say what we feel. You seem to want that right but you don’t want to extend it to someone who doesn’t do what you say! Typical Barack Obama supporter, all of you who feel that way. You speak your closed little mind but disagree with people who made their choice from doing their homework and getting to the facts. Not SLICK words or SLICK speeches or a very slanted media that figures it is best to beat up on women than to ask tough questions and come across as, possibly, being a racist if they expect that BO be held to the same tough standard as the females and the old white man!!! They know it is true, they have constantly waited on that man hand and foot and kissed his **** for two years. They don’t even have the class to do the right thing, their phoney baloney job would be at risk!!! This is still America and we still have rights and you don’t want to be shut up but you want to shut us up…welcome to the new America. How do you bring the country togehter when he is the one who has divided it?
Scooterfoot: Sounds like your son has had some help from his mama and the yellow journalists!!!!

Cathy: ” You speak your closed little mind but disagree with people who made their choice from doing their homework and getting to the facts. ”
Facts? What facts has the McCain campaign put forth? Can you give me a couple examples of good legislation John McCain has produced in his quarter century in the Senate? For Obama, look up information on the law requiring police to videotape confessions and interogations in serious crimes – an awful good law Obama wrote and, over initial Senate resistance and the governor promising a veto, ultimately passed with a bipartisan majority and was signed into law.
GIVE ME SOME FACTS – WHAT HAS JOHN MCCAIN *ACHIEVED* OTHER THAN SLANDER OBAMA?

And for another thing, when’s John McCain going to admit he picked the worse possible running mate? He keeps lying thru his teeth, when he says he picked the best.

Voiceofreason: You just simply do not get it and you want the non Obama followers to be clueless. Wow, we must really scare you! The first of the year my husband and I pay off a loan and in the process we will be putting 350.00 more a MONTH in our pockets. That by the way is much more than the measley 1000 dollar yearly tax break that BO is going to give the middle class…who doesn”t get it? 350.00 more every month trumps BO’s 83.33 monthly tax break. Where is the redistribution of wealth. Looks like, as usual, you want more money you make it yourself!!!!

Jake, since when is it a mistake to tell the truth about Obama?

Retired old guy: ”
Notice how if you use Obama’s words against him your comment disappears?”
There is a little issue of copyright when you cut and paste half of FoxNews directly into “your” comment…

I have news for you they didn”t come from Fox news they came from Obama speaches and the comments are mine.

jhw53Obama, Here lets try this one from his book.
Obama, “I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views. (The Audacity of Hope.”) And this is exactly what you Obama cultists do.

jhw539 writes:
“GIVE ME SOME FACTS – WHAT HAS JOHN MCCAIN *ACHIEVED* OTHER THAN SLANDER OBAMA?”
Love the all-caps J…really puts over the argument for me.
All kidding aside though, are you really serious? McCain has a huge record, some of which the GOP like, some not so much. Obama’s not been able to get a thing done in the US Senate, with the exception of some resolutions, and along with pathological tardiness for his committee meetings, hasn’t even held a meeting of the subcommittee he’s chair of.
I realize people are upset about the economy, their difficult lives, etc. but some basic factual information needs to be kept in play, lest Obamaites like Sallie and “Republicans for Obama” (Is that you Chris Buckley?) kept dishing out the incredibly inaccurate (and often dishonest) talking points:
The War – Bush and company certainly made some mistakes with the prosecution of the Iraq war, mistakes which McCain helped get turned around (an issue where he strongly disagreed with Bush on strategy and tactics). The notion that Bush and McCain were in agreement ends pretty much at the decision to take out Saddam Hussein, for which the majority of Iraqis remain immensely grateful. What the anti-Bush left won’t admit is that they worked day and night to tie Bush’s hands on what kinds of strategy to use, minimizing the military footprint, scaling back troops and presence – and then hammered Bush when the casualties mounted. Hypocritical? Cynical? You betcha.
The economy – Was not bad until, oh, about 2 years ago when the Democrats took office. Actually, conservatives and those of us who lean in that direction know it’s much more complex than that, but the biggest economic problems have been housing, which the Democrats bear a large portion of the blame for enabling the growth of the bad credit market via Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac (not to mention their campaign finance payback in contributions from the FM types), and oil prices, which were in part inflated by instability in the Middle-East, instability that Obama’s stated plans have not helped. Thankfully, the one bright side of the economic crisis is that it has driven fuel prices down. Of course, if Obama raises taxes, job creation will be stifled and the recession will be prolonged.
Foreign policy – Contrary to popular belief the Bush foreign policy has been fairly effective as far as Western Europe and China go, despite some of the hypocrisy of leftist state leaders in France and Germany (who are now gone, replaced by pro-American leaders). It’s lacking on Iran and Russia, but Obama’s plans sound pretty much like the card player who can’t muster a poker face. Even Biden realizes Obama will be challenged precisely because he’s inexperienced, but what Biden doesn’t say is that Obama will be challenged because most observers believe his primary foreign policy phiolosophy will be to make the US the affable, doughy enabler of the world’s autocracies, by spending a great deal of time on useless dialogue and far too little on real diplomacy, which involves having some teeth, economically and otherwise.

jhw539 I don’t support either of these two clowns. I base my opposition to Obama on his words and associations.
“To avoid being mistaken for a sell out, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students, The foreign students, The Chicanos, The Marxist Professors and the structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.” Barak Obama from “Dreams of My Father.
I have read both of Obama’s books and have been looking into his background for many months; long before he became so controversial after the Wright revelations. What I discovered is:
His father, the focus of his book, was a card carrying member of the Communist Party in Kenya. His mother attended a Marxist high school. His mentor growing up was Frank Marshall Davis, the poet he mentions above, a Communist Party member. His mentor in collage, Saul Alinski, his pastor the reverend Wright, his friends Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorn Ayers, all Marxists. Early “Official Bloggers” on his own web site, Sam Graham Felsen and Mike Kolnsky are Marxists. He has been endorsed by Carl Davison a Marxist who serves as a national steering committee member of United for Peace and Justice a Marxist organization. The Communist Party USA endorses Obama and says that after all these years “its time has come”? He supports, and has campaigned for Kenya’s Raila Odinga, his cousin, a Marxist terrorist. He trained organizers for and served as a lawyer for, ACORN, a Marxist organization. He advocates the redistribution of wealth an idea right out of Karl Marx’s writings. In order for a government to redistribute wealth they must first confiscate it from those who have produced it as government only consumes wealth they do not produce it. Guilt by association; or birds of a feather perhaps?

Obama has a history of not showing courage.
He voted present 130 times in the Senate because he wouldn’t take a stand.
He makes one statement in rural PA then behind their backs in front of his elite friends he says something else.
He didn’t have the guts to walk out of a church with a hateful pastor–not until it started to hurt his campaign.
America doesn’t need a wimpy president.

all you republicans are gonna look and sound very foolish after Obama wins the election tomm.
But since foolish is your natural state, I guess it won’t really look all that different….

Retired old guy: So it’s his associations – not his actual proven record of achievements, leadership and lawmaking- that you are judging him on.
Luckily, the majority of modern America does not hold McCarthyism as their favored decision making approach.

Pamela Geller, the lady behind this video, is proudly known among her fans as another Ann Coulter. Geller got her illustrious start in extremist blogging through live blogging in a bikini in ’06. If you take a look at Atlas Shrugged, it already has McCain and Pailin inaugurated as king and queen of the planet. Just a bit of extremist trivia for anyone interested in the sources used. Nadler’s comments really rocked the far right wing blogs all over the place. I wonder what principled sources are next.

Retired Old Guy -
And here I thought that McCarthyism had been discredited completely. Keep those embers alive…let the witch hunts begin anew!

It is interesting that the liberals always resort to namecalling, as extremists, idiots, and racist, anyone who won’t vote for obama because they see right through him as a lying fraud and charlatan.
But in all the hype the liberals have been blinded to the fact that obama is a clinical narcissist at heart. It is not about being your brother’s keeper or spreading the wealth (for the good of the people!???) or “audacity of hope” or his church or grandmother or pastor or Auntie Zeituni. It is ALL about HIM, the One, the Messiah, and all the rest are Greek columns to his aggrandizement.
In truth the media have done the cruelest disservice to obama by shielding and protecting him.
What ever happens after the fourth obama will come out of it either a sullied senator or an illegitimate President; the media having robbed him of his legitimacy.

Cathy: “However, because of the hate spewed towards the non Obama believers we will not change our minds.”
It’s not hate, it is frustration that McCain supporters have refused to provide any reason TO vote for McCain, only attacks on Obama. Can you cite few actual, real-world, achievements of Senator McCain from his quarter century in the Senate? I have done so for Senator Obama, but after asking dozens of times MCCAIN SUPPORTERS REFUSE TO CITE CONCRETE ACHIEVEMENTS OF JOHN MCCAIN.
How can we compare the two candidates when one – John McCain – has a record only of being an entirely ineffectual talker/maverick?

Jerry Nadler is a buffoon. I don’t say that because of these cluelessly critical comments about Obama. Obama certainly has his faults. But for those of us from NYC who are exposed to Nadler’s idiocy on a regular basis, this is just another incident in a long line of incidents that Nadler’s been pulling for years. It’s like every other comment out of his mouth is based on some fantasy created in his mind. We have these kinds of guys in both parties, the guys who are really too inept or too impolitic to be in elected office, but to our continuing amazement they get elected. They should really be riding on a special short bus and put somewhere they don’t harm themselves or others.
This is just to give some context to people who aren’t really aware of Nadler’s history. Coming out of another more credible politician’s mouth, I would consider the truth of it. But from Nadler, you can pretty much dismiss it out of hand. I’m serious. He’s that moronic.

It’s known as projection.

Nadler’s my congressman and just lost my vote.

Don’t badmouth Obama, says the tone of this article. What gaffe are you referring to…calling Obama out for having a loon as a spiritual mentor? He did not have the courage to walk out…he turned a blind eye…it’s obvious to anyone who has reviewed Wright’s philosophy…
Wright himself called Obama out for “doing what politicians do,” remember…
So, only in the mind of the true Obama believer would Nadler be “haunted” by such an assessment of Obama’s political path…
Do not criticize Obama, you will be “haunted” by it. Great.

By the way, Election Day is tomorrow did Palin ever release ANY medical information?
Did she ever accept any responsibility for her unethical behavior in Alaska?
Did we ever find out why she charged taxpayers for her family travel and stay?

Taking Pictures, you are so concerned about Palin’s medical records. I think they should be released, too. I also think that Obama should release his. He should also release all of the other records that have somehow disappeared or are otherwise unavailable — IL state senate records and schedule; Occidental, Columbia and Harvard records, etc…..

I didn’t vote for John or Barack, although had there been no other choices I would have fallen the way of McCain. I am very disturbed over the personal attacks that I have heard and read on John McCain. My own mail lady, in her 50′s, said that she couldn’t vote for a man who”holds his arms funny and looks stupid doing so”! That just about broke my heart! I than had to explain to her his military history and why he “walks funny”. She was so embarrassed, said she didn’t know. Perhaps she should have done her homework. A man who has given so much of himself on the line for this country and you cruelly make fun of him. Yes, he graduated towards the bottom of his class, because, he would buck the system. He received many medals for his sacrifice. He was highly admired in the academy, but, kept getting into trouble, because he didn’t follow the rules. That is where he became known as the maverick. I also suggest that he survived the torture and the refusing to go home early, because, he is a moral man. Now you will say, moral? He cheated on his wife, yes he did. You walk a mile in the shoes of a person who has been throughh hell and back and than let us see how you act. War and torture change people. We have no right to judge anyone, especially a person who has been through a war that he was SENT too!! I lost a brother and an uncle in Vietnam and I was a nurse stationed in Vietnam, so you see people, unless you have been there, you really need to “button it up”. People will give of themselves every day to make this a better country and many times it is a thankless job, but, never, ever, attack anyone who puts their butt on the line, for you, without thinking about it. Look around you, we may not always agree with the wars, but, we should bestow the highest respect upon those who have gone and returned back home and those who paid the highest price. We have all been touched, in some way, by the bad judgements made by our government, but, you should never bad mouth the ones sent over to do the job you won’t do. How about your grandparents and uncles in the earlier wars do you humiliate them as well? I am so sorry to be in a country where attacking someone is the “norm”! Remember who fought for every freedom you now enjoy. It could have easily been you or someone you love. What would your answer have been? Flee to Canada or some where else Let us all pray for this country, because, if these message boards are any indication, we will need it!!! RESPECT something some of us could use!!!

Well, SHIRLEY, you proved my point!! Feel better now? How is that pathetic little life of yours treating you?

My pathetic little life is going wonderfully, and soon so will yours

My Jewish friends, wake up. What more do we have to say….Wright, Farrakhan, Khalidi, Hamas, and now this tape from Democrat Nadler!!!!
Obama is NOT your friend!
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN/PALIN

The country has already decided who they trust in this election, tomorrow we seal the deal.

SHIRLEY: So I don’t need my life to improve under anyone. Since you know so much about BO why don’t you tell me who will be in his cabinet and what will be the first imorovements that he will get through congress and than tell me how long it will be before all of his 1,000,000,000 promises will become a betterment of our society. If your life is going so well than why do you need Obama to make yours better? We haven’t been hurt by the downhill economy and come the first of the year we will have a 3600.00 a year pay raise in our pocket because we will have paid off some loans. I will take that any day over BO 1000.00 a year tax credit, but, hey since he is going to give us $1000.00 tax credit, I will take it. Don’t need it, but, I am part of his middle class that will accept his measley little “redistribution of wealth”! I am not dependant on BO cleaning up my mistakes, I just worry that he will screw up everyone..including you!!! That is where we differ I happen to care about everyone, you care only about your own little world!!!!!

all you republican ‘experts’ have all that secret info and no body listens to you.. damn…
I guess when you see each on the the street
you have to give each other the Palin ‘wink’
and say something ‘smart’ like… ‘gosh darn it, you betcha’…. and then you’ll feel better about losing.

Obama didn’t promise to take public finance, he only promised to look into it.
Frankly he needed the money to over come racism and the republican smear machine. Smart man, he’ll serve our country well.

Shirley: You are wrong, again. I live in Florida and it is a very large community of Cubans, Haitians, Central Americans and the list goes on!!! Everybody is welcome here and everybody is welcome to come back home, I don’t care!!! I would love to see America become that strong again, but, our government refuses to be for the people anymore. Sounds good, but, it won’t happen. Simply being a good speaker and using a cadence of Yes we can and Change only keeps people from following the truth. BO has been running for President since he was voted into the Senate. It is all about his making history and feeding his large ego. If I really thought he cared I would be a big supporter. So far I have only seen a groundswell of desperate people hoping that he will get them out of the mess they have put themselves in. How can you blame, really blame, the republicans for people who bought houses that they knew they could not afford, they should have understood what they were signing, people living beyond their means and living on credit, buying new cars every year and the list goes on. You can’t expect the taxpayers to bail people out of their own messes it is not fair. Once the Democrats gain a larger share of Congress and they get their own agenda passed how do you think that will help anyone? Isn’t that the same thing people accused the Repubs of? If in your heart you really are expecting Barack Obama to save the world than so be it, but, just don’t be disappointed when he turns out to be another politician with his own agenda and his own large ego. Pretty words get nothing done, but, I have seen the crowds and I have seen the blind adoration of his followers and frankly, it scares me to death. I am entitled to my opinion and I work real hard at not being nasty and vile, but, when you attacked McCain by calling him stodgy, you also insulted me. I am a retired vietnam veteran and I didn’t agree with the war, but, I had no choice except to try to save the lives of our people and all I received was getting slapped upside the head for it, really shows someones true color. As Americans we should just agree to disagree. I strongly agree with that, but, I will not aimlessly attack someone simply because they like doing it to someone else. I am not stupid, I am not blind and I have a right to believe what I believe, if you give people that right it is a wonderful thing, but, Obama supporters seem to think that we should be sent to an island for speaking out against your belief. It bothers me to think that this is what Obama has taught his followers. If you get that from BO than I do have a right to worry about where his Presidency is headed. I didn’t vote for either Obama or McCain, and that also is my right.

For weeks, Republican leaders have warned that widely reported problems with fake voter registrations could result in a flood of phony votes in pivotal states.
But Ronald Michaelson, a veteran election administrator and member of the McCain-Palin Honest and Open Election Committee, said in an interview that he could not name a single instance in which this had occurred.
“Do we have a documented instance of voting fraud that resulted from a phony registration form? No, I can’t cite one, chapter and verse,” he said.
Which makes their accusations a form of fraud in its own right, doesn’t it? One that’s been falsely used to fuel “Republicans’ invocation of legal power to scrutinize voters, demands for U.S. Justice Department intervention and court orders, and criminal investigations.”

Don’t you think Sahara looks reel pretty?
I’d love to see her in the White House.
Go McCane (he was a POW, you know).

U.S. soldiers have donated more presidential campaign money to Democrat Barack Obama than to Republican John McCain, a reversal of previous campaigns in which military donations tended to favor GOP White House hopefuls, a nonpartisan group reported Thursday.
Troops serving abroad have given nearly six times as much money to Obama’s presidential campaign as they have to McCain’s, the Center for Responsive Politics said.

Zeuser89,I do respect your right to free speech, and I want to apologize if I seemed not to.

The media has been too kind to Senator McCain and Sarah Palin, they’ve only reported half of what they should have been reporting.

Nadler was cornered and blurted out some truth. Unless Obama also subscribes to Black Liberation Theology and that is why he stayed in that despicable church. Did you catch the so-called priest, Pfleger, making fun of Hillary from the pulpit of Trinity UCC? He acted like a total a$$. Wright often acted like a total a$$ in the pulpit, too. Making fun of white people and people who do not think like they do. Guess Obama was projecting when he talked about the bitter bible and gun clingers with antipathy toward those who do not look like them.

No news here.
Everyone knows Obama is a wimp.
He’s only brave when mocking women, and plumbers.
Our enemies are waiting to celebrate if he wins.

WELCOME TO THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON THE FACE OF THIS EARTH IF MCCAIN WINS !!!!
WELCOME TO THE “UNITED STATES SOCIALISM” IF OBAMA WINS (GOD FORBID)

Black LIberation Theology has very little to do with the bible . . .
The great Martin Luther King preceeded Black Libertion Theology. Matin Luther King took his principles for nonviolence and activism from the teachings of Jesus.
But then to dredge up Wright, dredges up old arguments which have nothing to do with the economic and foreign policies which impact our lives. Wright is nothing more than a deliberate distraction.

To everyone out there, you will not get us to change our minds about the person best suited to be president. It won’t happen!!!! You have your opinion and they have theirs and that is okay. If we ever expect this country to bridge the wide gap caused by both sides in this election than we need to remember that we are one country, one people and without each other we have nothing. Politicians aside, we don’t need them as much as we need each other. We are what makes this country run, not washington d.c., be glad that they are there and not involved in our everyday life. If we keep dissing each other this country will fall apart.

Kat, explain a little bit of Black Liberation Theology to me. If Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., espoused Black Liberation Theology then he was out of bounds, just like Jeremiah Wright. At least for me because I do not believe that whites are the cause of all the evil in the world. Nor do I believe that white people should be eliminated. But if that is what Martin Luther King Jr. believed, then I would not think very much of him, either. Besides, the article we are talking about references Obama’s relationship to Wright and Trinity UCC. The so-called distraction is the topic.

Cathy, I am a long time nurse, I know about the broken system we have. I am now living in Norway, and I can tell you national health care is great! The richest country in the world can pull it off, if they place human life before profits.

My previous post was for Particia @ 3:43. I thought I’d clarify that and emphasize again that I find the topic of Wright inappropriate for a major news outlet.

“To be black is to be committed to destroying everything this country loves and adores.” Or again, “Black theology will accept only a love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy.” James Cone, founder of black liberation theology. Sorry Kat, I did get Cone and Farrakhan mixed up a little, but it’s all part of the same crapola.
It’s tough to swallow that the possibly next POTUS adhered to this stuff or at least is friends with people who adhered to this stuff. He, at the very least, used Wright as his spiritual mentor, preacher and advisor. He let his kids listen to Wrights hateful sermons.

No, Miss Kat, these quotes came from James Cone himself, the founder of BLT. You can try to make me the bad guy here, but it looks like i’m the only one speaking truth to power as some love to say. Read Cone for yourself. Don’t try to accuse me of putting words in his mouth. Read him and then talk to me. Cone also tells us that Blacks hate Whites for sure, but that does not make blacks racists. It is a righteous hatred in his words. Im the type that goes right to the source. The source is Cone’s own books and writings. Check it out before you accuse me of irrational fear. I just want to know what people really believe, not what they want me to believe they believe.

Did I ever mention that McCain is my candidate? The answer to that is “no.” You assume because I have problems with Obama’s belief system, that I support McCain. See, you went there and I never even said it. Your mind filtered things the way you wanted to see them. That is why I go to people’s writings before I believe what someone says about them. I am on very solid ground with this BLT crap and this is what Obama’s spiritual mentor and preacher believes. I think everyone should be a little troubled by that belief system.

Patricia -No, the truth is not despicable. Black Liberation Theology is a product of the sixties when segregation was still taking place in schools. It wasn’t that long after After American’s were denied the facilities of whites (front of the bus, restrooms,ect.). Many agree with Obama that BLT is outdated and poses little relevance in todays world. Furthermore, I don’t like its emphasis on victimization. Fortunately, I encounter racism, which can be despicable, very infrequently in my environment and associations. I’ve had enough at this point in writing back and forth to someone with racist tendencies, though you don’t strike me as a bad person at all, just a fearful one. Enough said.

Well if Pamela Geller thinks that, why don’t we have Lyndon LaRouche’s opinion on it?

I’ve been told day and night by the media, celebrities, etc. that if i do not vote for Obama, I am a racist. I plan on embracing my inner racist and letting it all hang out just like j. wright, l. farrakhan, k. rashidi, j. cone, meeks, et al. I think blacks should embrace their inner racists as well and instead of hating whites privately, just let it out. My experience is that blacks hate Latinos, Asians and others who are not like them.
