    More ''Fixed News'' But it's not from FOX. As if on que to demonstrate the Washington Posts accurate perception of an American media In The Tank For Obama,[MS]NBCs Andrea Mitchell darkly hints at the McCain camp getting questions at Warrens Saddleback summit in California and then reporting it as news yesterday. This is BS. It turns out that the ploy was hatched by the Obama camp and swallowed by the gullible,and quite partisan Mitchell,who produced the second of two pieces of ''faux''news in the last three weeks,the first being ,the Obama non-visit to wounded US soldiers in Germany,which was ''orchestrated by McCain''until the Pentagon stepped in and politely refuted Mitchells accuasations as dishonest,and now this. O'Reilly and Hannity are beginning to look like regular paeans of journalistic virtue[though they are only commentators],when stacked up against what passes as ''real''journalism in America today. Mitchells meltdown is a disgrace to her profession.

    Obama is a disaster, McCain is a disaster, the Pumas are coming to take us all away and we are all going to live happily ever after. There, that takes care of all the bs spewed by both sides. Now that I stroked both sides, you all should feel terrific at least for 10 seconds. ;-) I will be back in a couple days to see how everyone has killed each other off with their dogma and bs. Take one step back from the foolishness, and you would be laughing with me too.

    I am tempted to write a book about how people blog, and become wealthy/rich like Corsi. I guess if I can throw out as much bs as he does, I can be a millionaire too. Maybe an informercial will work too. Get sharenews to find me an agent. Pia you can be my publicist. I am out of here. Hi ho, hi ho its off to work I go... LOL all the way to the bank with my bs.

    It is quite amusing to watch the "Alice in Wonderland" world that Ms Clift and other liberal media types live in.
    Obama says in St Louis that quote "If we would all just keep our cars tuned up and our tires properly inflated that that would save enough energy (oil) that we would not have to drill."

    How insanely sophmoric and stupid. And yet, when anyone points out the utter stupidity of the Lord Messiah, Obama's national "tire gauge" energy sttategy they are accused of being racist.

    I guess in Clift's world, debating liberals on the merits of their positions is the equivalent of racisim.

    Good luck to all you Democrats out their this fall tyring to defend the tire gauge as the central pillar of your national energy stategy. Call me and McCain in the Whitehouse in January when you figure out how it did for you.

      Bloggers like you make decisions for other people easy. Most people already read about the "stupid" tire gauge. Turns out the stupid were not so stupid. If more people would read, they would be better able to discern what the truth is. People who do not read always seem to have the strongest opinion.

      • Posted By: busby @ 08/18/2008 11:53:09 AM

        So, because Obama recommended using tire gauges, that is to be considered as a criterion as to why he would make the best president? Now why am I not surprised?

        • Posted By: AskPlus @ 08/18/2008 12:30:18 PM

          I think you missed the point. Why am I not surprised. Let me feed you small spoons. If someone came up to you and said, if you walk a little bit faster, and a little bit longer, you'll get healthier. And you answered/denounced it like you did, your reply would be: (Said angrily) So just because you pick up your feet more your body will get cut and ripped and you won't get cancer, why am I not surprised.

          Please get a clue before responding.

    Democrats Unite. Unite and take back our party from the fraudulent, inexperienced, deceptive, arrogant, radical, divisive, race card throwing, racist black liberartion theology believing Obama. Show the corrupt DNC and party elite that we will not be force-fed an unsuitable candidate like Obama. McCain 2008; Hillary 2012.

      HAHAHA, are you really that bitter? You're so upset Hillary lost that you are backing McCain? I supported Hillary in the primary, I felt she was the better choice, but I'm not stupid enough to cut off my nose to spite my face here. Get over it.

      • Posted By: Zombiehero @ 08/17/2008 8:57:57 PM

        Good job trying to help unite the Dem Party and keep the coalition alive. I know your smart enough to realize that those kind of comments are going to hurt Obama in November. Obama needs everyone of Hillary's supporters to win, yet why do you Obama people keep pushing them away with those comments?

        Maybe I'm wrong, maybe your really a McCain supporter trying to stir crap up...if so your doing a Absolutely Fabulous job.

        • Posted By: mrzoid @ 08/17/2008 9:13:37 PM

          No, i really was a Hillary supporter during the primary season, still am; however, i'm wise enough to recognize when it's time to move on and think about the best option for the things i care about: ending the Iraq war before my moron brother gets shipped over there, figuring out how to solve our energy crisis instead of putting a band-aid on it, getting some balance back on the Supreme Court. These are the things I think Hillary would have been better at tackling than McCain, and I know Obama would be better as well. So it's time to MOVE ON!

            That's were we diverge. I am a Clinton supporter still, if by some miracle the DNC got their head out of their butts and nominated Clinton at the convention, I would definitely have to some things to figure out. I don't like Obama because he is too liberal for me and his original views, not the new refinements, are just to extreme for me. I know McCain will have to work with a Democratic Congress and build a consensus to get things done. I loath what Reid and Pelosi have done to the Dem Party and think a Democrat controlled White House and Congress would be a complete and utter disaster. It would be a tyranny by the majority and all opposition will be crushed....seems like they don't like to brush up on Eurasian history. I don't agree with McCain on everything, but Obama doesn't help....I used to be able to depend on the Dems to try not to bring religion into politics which is a big reason why I voted for Hillary, Obama seems to want to one up the GOP on religion in politics....so really on that issue which is big for me, who do I turn to?

              Zombie, you say that you are a Clinton supporter, but are now for McCain. How is this? Obama and Hillary's policies are almost identical, yet you call Obama "too liberal." You seem to forget that on health care, Clinton's proposal is more liberal than Obama's because she wanted to make health insurance mandatory. Since we were debating the issue of of health insurance yesterday, I do not think you are and have never been a Clinton supporter.

              • Posted By: Zombiehero @ 08/18/2008 4:00:04 AM

                You seem to think that I have to support every idea that my candidate has...that's your fundamental error. Google Zombiehero and Newsweek....look at my blog profile...you can see every post I have ever posted on Newsweek...take a look at my early posts during the Primary, if you don't believe I'm a Hillary Supporter....or you can ask Pia, she has been on these blogs about the same time as me...your a newbie so you have only seen my anti-Obama posts....during the Primary I was and still am for Hillary and have always been skeptical of Obama, the more that comes out only prove my early skepticism was correct.

                • Posted By: raddave @ 08/18/2008 4:08:37 AM

                  Ok, maybe you are a HIllary Supporter, but how do you justify opposing Obama when his positions on the majority of issues are basically the same as Clinton's? Even though I have supported Obama since earlier in the Primary, if Clinton had won, then I would be supporting her, not McCain.

                    Didn't you say yesterday that you were a Clinton supporter during the primaries? So were you lying then or are you lying now?

                      No I didn't say I was a Clinton supporter in the Primaries, I was until I saw how poorly she was running her campaign. But I did not vote for her.

                    You mean they hold the same policy points on FISA? Faith Based Initiatives? Born Alive? I didn't know that if I did then I wouldn't have voted for Hillary in the primary then.
                    What about Free Trade? Obama was all against it in the Primaries now is he for it or against it? I don't know do you?
                    You know Obama has consistently moved away from his Primary policy positions to posture himself more to the center, so comparing his policies then to his policies now and saying they are the same as Clintons is false. you know that...

                    • Posted By: raddave @ 08/18/2008 4:54:29 AM

                      So you are admiting that Obama is more moderate then Clinton, because he has moved more towards the middle on some issues? If you would have read about the "born alive" bill that Obama opposed, you would see that it was a B.S. bill because it required medical aide to be given to a baby born who had no chance of survival. Obama has not consistantly changed his policies from that he proposed during the primaries, and he has not changed his policies on the big issues, taxes and the iraq war.

                      • Posted By: Zombiehero @ 08/18/2008 5:32:29 AM

                        Yeah Obama is more moderate that Clinton....ha ha your funny. Sorry but I really don't know what Obama's real policy beliefs are because he changes them a lot. Going by his record, and his associates, I believe it is extremely Left. Remember all those criticism that Clinton moved left for the Primaries? Clinton was not the most Liberal voting Senator in the US Senate...that honour goes to Obama. Sorry but your argument has more holes than a tennis racquet. .
                        I've been reading up on that Born Alive Bill. Did you know that Obama voted against the Ilinios version 3 times...stating that the language wasn't the same as the Federal Version, with pasted unanimously. The problem with that is the third bill had the EXACT same wording as the Federal Bill, Obama even went so far to vote in the wording....then killed the Bill in commitee which he was chair of.
                        Read about it here: http://www.nrlc.org/ObamaBAIPA/ObamaCoverup.html

                        Not changed his policies? Sorry but your dead wrong....remember when Obama was all against WindFall Profits Tax during the Primaries? Now he loves them so he can give you free money....get your free money all you have to do is vote for Obama.
                        Immigration: In a March 2004 questionnaire, Obama was asked if the government should"crack down on businesses that hire illegal immigrants." He replied "Oppose.??? In a Jan. 31, 2008, televised debate, he said that "we do have to crack down on those employers that are taking advantage of the situation."

                        Public financing: Obama replied "yes" in September 2007 when asked if he would agree to public financing of the presidential election if his GOP opponent did the same. Obama has now attached several conditions to such an agreement, including regulating spending by outside groups. His spokesman says the candidate never committed himself on the matter

                        Jerusalem: "Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided," Obama declared Wednesday, to rousing applause from the 7,000-plus attendees at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee policy conference.But a campaign adviser clarified Thursday that Obama believes "Jerusalem is a final status issue, which means it has to be negotiated between the two parties" as part of "an agreement that they both can live with."

              You need to look at the broader scope of things here; regardless of whatever else you think about whatever other issue, the supreme court. If John McCain is elected the balance will turn ultra conservative for up to 30-40yrs. So if you have any liberal views that the Supreme Court could influence, think about the next 40yrs, not the next 4yrs.

              • Posted By: Zombiehero @ 08/17/2008 9:47:17 PM

                You do realize that any nominee McCain would tap would have to be approved by a Dem Controlled Senate? Do you think the Democrats would approve of a radical right Scalia? Get with reality, McCain would have to tap a moderate or centrist judge period in order for passage.
                While on the other hand Obama can pick Ayers for Supreme Court and it would be approved by the majority of Dems in the Senate......yes I am thinking about the big picture just not through partisan eyes like you.

You're one of the worst bashing offenders on the blog, and of course you, like the petualant blogger you are insist on saying - "He started it, na, na, na". You seem to be nothing more than another "victim-bot". By the way, the answering a question with a question crap you do is old. You should learn to debate, not the other guy. Victims.

        Obama was a disaster in every place he served as a community organizer, look at his neighborhoods in Chicago, according to his own writings: The Crime rate went up, the murder rate went up, drug use went up, the out of wedlock birthrate went up, gang fighting and murders went up, the abortion rate went up, prostitution went up, educational achievements went down, welfare rate went up, this is what he wants to deliver to the rest of the USA.
        What a ???success??? story, he and his fellow gangsters want to bring the same achievements to the rest of the USA.

Had anyone bothered to read this Sundays Washington Post,they would have run into their Ombudswoman,who admitted the ''wide disparity'' of news services displaying Friendly To Obama articles,alongside of neutral or hostile to McCain,among the most blatant,of course,NEWSWEAK and the AP.The Pew Research Center for People and the Press has more information on this less-than surprising phenonmenon,made more glaring by the medias handling of the Edwards affair,and this new mess involving Obamas abortion votes while a state and US senator. Indeed,the piece by Clift we are debating,is an advocacy report for Obama.

  • Posted By: scabo @ 08/18/2008 5:00:44 AM

    Problem is Obama has a personality challenge; he gave 8 different accounts on Reverend Wright in 60 days, he won the primaries by trashing Clintons and tricking the leftist believing he would be better than the Clintons. He did so with lies and hypocricy. If Barack Obama is a man of sound character, if he was even close to what they tried to tell us - he would have no problem. But he has!! Superdelegates are wrong.

    • Posted By: raddave @ 08/18/2008 5:17:53 AM

      Obama gave TWO accounts on Rev. Wright. He denounced what he said but didn't denounce him, until it became apparent that Wright had lost his mind. Obama trashed Clinton? Clinton trashed herself.

      • Posted By: Zombiehero @ 08/18/2008 5:52:18 AM

        Why did it take Obama so long to denounce him? That's the question that a lot of people had, he associates with very radical people, that is a fact. He had to have heard some of those statement over the course of 20 years.
        No matter what you say to defend Obama on that issue or try to smear McCain, I will not vote for Obama and I'm not alone.

        • Posted By: raddave @ 08/18/2008 6:20:51 AM

          He denounced Wright as soon as the video's came to light. We probably have all associated with "radical" people, that doesn't mean we agree with what they have said or done. McCain has associated himself with some pretty radical people in order to get their endorsement, i.e. Rev. Hagee.

      Obama did not trash the Clintons. Show proof that he did! Hillary as his friend and colleague and more importantly, one of his own party members, betrayed him during the primaries. She kept mentioning that white people wouldn't vote for him. She hesitated when she was asked about whether she believed Obama is a Muslim. Had that been me, I would have replied, "I resent the question because it matters not
      to me if if he is."

  • Posted By: tippology1 @ 08/16/2008 6:07:20 AM

    Finally someone other then myself who can really make an lasting impression on the voters can expose Obama for what he really is. He is everything that the book claims and I hope you people wake the hell up and see that before the election. Obama brought this on himself by being too greedy and he deserves any attack McCain has to offer because he is not fit to be president. How in the world can you win a senate seat 4 yrs ago and win the presidency in the next, it just doesn't up. You always have to pay your due's and his self arrogance in becoming the first minority president will cost him dearly. Obama has been and will always be fake......Let vote McCain in and lets get started at doing what America does best, fixing problems and getting the job done. McCain will be a fine president and the guy actually deserves to be and has again put in his time....

Barack Hussein Obama has shattered all conventions and become the First Black American Man to achieve the highest office in our nation and will soon be sworn in as President of the United States...In spite of a few shaky moments during the recent National Democratic Convention when Hillary and Bill Clinton made an attempt to get her names on the ballot as president and vice president, respectively, they tried desperately to get enough delegate votes to sway for their side....But the ground swell in that great hall against them was so enormous that they very quickly silenced this effort by abruptly leaving the platform...Hillary screaming obscenities at the crowd and her husband Bill in tears. In the month that followed, more new voters and voters from every race, color and creed showed up at the poles in record numbers to cast their votes and make history. For the first time in nearly a decade...you can feel the electricity in the crowds of hopeful Americans who gather together in our Untied States...It is just an amazing scene to watch,,, May God and His Angels Guard Our New President...!

      OMG, Tippology1, you are so right on the money. Do not stray away from that thinking and definitely keep spreading your word. As a communications agent for your candidate, I am so in tune with what you said, and your words should be spread out to others.. Thanks.

    Eleanor, Have you heard about terrorist group like Hamas donating money via internet to the campain of Barack Hussein Obama? We American people wants to know the truth, Can your next posted article tackle this issue. You cannot beleive that the 51 millions a month come from the American grass root $25 donation? We do not have that kind of money these days it is obvious to me that the money is coming from the rich oil terrorist nations of the Middle East and possibly from their friend Chavez in Venezuela. Please let's get to the bottom of this!!!!

    It amazes me that democrats like this reporter ( if you can call her a reporter seems more like a partisan hack) think they don't run negative campaigns, if you calculate all the negative adds from Obama, the DNC, Union groups and the Move. On's they triple all of McCain adds combined . I really am staring to believe that democrats are delusional people, you have a candidate who never served in a leadership role in either government, business or the military, who had less than two years of nation politics before he ran for President who was a was a forgettable ' community organizer" and college lecturer and you can't understand why people don't want to elect him to be President, you actually believe it's because Obama hasn't said McCain/Bush in the same sentence enough times, sorry but it's probably the opposite people are tried of the Bush 3rd term seems silly like when conservatives say Obama is a Carter 2nd term. Maybe it comes down to America in the end not liking democrats taste in Presidential candidates ?

      Sammy135, I totally agree with you that Eleanor does show her true color "HARDCORE LEFTIST", not an impartial journalist. Read my comment and you will agree with me that the leftist media is a malignant cancer that will potentially destroy AMERICA. This eas my comment: No! Obama needs to allow Hawaii to release his original birth certificate so that the American public can know once for all that he is not an imposter. What is wrong about that? If he claimed that he went to Pakistan in the 1980's when there was a big war, everybody should be suspicious. Did his parents created a fake birth certificate for him? I have known many foreigners mostly from Africa, Mexico, South America for example, that have fake birth certificates in order to get a visa in the USA. For example, a 20 year old person may change his or her birth certificates and reduce his or her age to 15 years old so that he or she has a better chance to be sponsor by a family member as a minor rather than an adult . This fake documents can be done for pennies on the dollar in Third World Countries. You can even buy high school diplomas to come to school in the US. Therefore it is not a mystery that Barack Hussein Obama' s father could very well forge his birth certificate. His step father from indonesia who possibly adopted him could do the same as well since Indonesia is a third world country. We just want Obama to face up and "TELL THE TRUTH". So therefore, Eleanor, do not suggest that this is only the republican machine at it best. We all know of the little proverb: "there is no smoke without fire". We just do not have the luxury as Americans to allow an imposter in the White House, that is all! I truly think Corsi, the author of "The Obama Nation" raised important questions that we all as Americans living in a time of "Great Uncertainties" (both economical and political) want to know, but that the leftist media machine which Eleanor is a part of, will not ask Obama. We cannot afford an imposter in the time that Russia wants to build a military base in Cuba (our backyard). We cannot afford to be the next "Georgia" . So please Eleanor, please do your job! As a journalist, you must be impartial and raise the rigth questions without reflecting your personal opinion in all of your so called posted articles. No matter how much we may hate George W. Bush, we all know that he loves his country and does everything he does, even sometimes uncalculated that they may be, out of love for his Country. But Eleanor and her leftist friends always confront Bush. Why not confronting Barack Hussein Obama and ask him even the tough questions that we American voters wants to know for the sake of our beloved country rather than ignoring the red flags above Barack Hussein Obama's head for the sake of your leftist agenda and for the hate of George W. Bush?

        Raddave, I think you hit the nail on the head. I've talked to countless repubs that are sickened by their party and will vote democrat no matter who runs. McCain isn't exactly winning favors by running silly ads like the Paris Hilton one, or the one suggesting Obama is to blame for high oil prices. It just shows he's more of the same old, same old that we're tired of.

    Most Americans are smart enough to see through the Republican attack machine. The sad part is that in a close election the slimbags only have to plant seeds of doubt in a small percentage of voters to be effective. If African Americans will actually turn out this election in the same numbers as "evangelical christians" then Obama should win with no problem. Come on Dems! We outnumber the Repulbicans. Let's show up in force and throw a wrench into this Repulican attack machine. It is tempting to think that we should let them have the White House because Bush has screwed up so badly that the next president will probably get blamed for a lot of the problems that Bush set him up for but there is too much at stake. We know we are the party of the future, after all how many white protestant men with really be left in a few years. Let's make us the party of now.

    Obama is a disaster, McCain is a disaster, the Pumas are coming to take us all away and we are all going to live happily ever after. There, that takes care of all the bs spewed by both sides. Now that I stroked both sides, you all should feel terrific at least for 10 seconds. ;-) I will be back in a couple days to see how everyone has killed each other off with their dogma and bs. Take one step back from the foolishness, and you would be laughing with me too.

    I am tempted to write a book about how people blog, and become wealthy/rich like Corsi. I guess if I can throw out as much bs as he does, I can be a millionaire too. Maybe an informercial will work too. Get sharenews to find me an agent. Pia you can be my publicist. I am out of here. Hi ho, hi ho its off to work I go... LOL all the way to the bank with my bs.

      McCain is a disaster and Obama is a bigger disaster more like "an environmental apocalypse". As an american who truly love my Country, I will not be conned into destroying my Country by electing a sleazy environmental apocalypse for the sake of change. Not all changes are good changes. NOBAMA.

    Watching The Worms

    Through the Slim They Squirm

    This is the only avenue they have they have no candidate so they try to create a facade of hate

    Extend your same "ROVEBOT" PAIN with your vote for McCain

    Ron Suskind Must be the only real journalist left in this country but I guess its just "The Way of the World"


    By Ron Suskind
    What just happened? Evidence. A secret that has been judiciously kept for five years just spilled out. All of what follows is new, never reported in any way:

    The Iraq Intelligence Chief, Tahir Jalil Habbush -- a man still carrying a $1 million reward for capture, the Jack of Diamonds in Bush's famous deck of wanted men -- has been America's secret source on Iraq. Starting in January of 2003, with Blair and Bush watching, his secret reports began to flow to officials on both sides of the Atlantic, saying that there were no WMD and that Hussein was acting so odd because of fear that the Iranians would find out he was a toothless tiger. The U.S. deep-sixed the intelligence report in February, "resettled" Habbush to a safe house in Jordan during the invasion and then paid him $5 million in what could only be considered hush money.

    In the fall of 2003, after the world learned there were no WMD -- as Habbush had foretold -- the White House ordered the CIA to carry out a deception. The mission: create a handwritten letter, dated July, 2001, from Habbush to Saddam saying that Atta trained in Iraq before the attacks and the Saddam was buying yellow cake for Niger with help from a "small team from the al Qaeda organization."

    The mission was carried out, the letter was created, popped up in Baghdad, and roiled the global newcycles in December, 2003 (conning even venerable journalists like Tom Brokaw). The mission is a statutory violation of the charter of the CIA, and amendments added in 1991, prohibiting the CIA from conducting disinformation campaigns on U.S. soil.

    So, here we go again: the administration is in full attack mode, calling me names, George Tenet is claiming he doesn't remember any such thing -- just like he couldn't remember "slam dunk" -- and reporters are scratching their heads. Everything in my book is on the record, with many sources. And so, we watch and wait....

    There will be more falling by the wayside after this book is read and there may be an impeachment in the works. Wait there already is! This will give it lots of strength. If you are a patriotic American write all of your congressmen/women and senators and ask them what's up with this.

      My tinfoil hat informs me (yes, it talks when it wants to) that you are quite correct sir! However, you left out one important fact, to wit: Bush is a robot, sent by our old friends the moon people. Now it all fits together, eh?

    OK. Barry. Here is more advise (advice). Do not even think about choosing Biden as VP. Not only is he a fool, he is a disinhibited fool. Bayh is a better choice (although far from perfect). I know that you think that if you pick Biden, you can then have him attack McCain. However, in this contest you stand a better chance if the temperature stays in the mid 70's.
