    Comment on Hosenball & Isikoff article comparing Neo-Nazi's to Al-Qaeda: To belittle the ongoing threat of fundamental Islam by comparing it to two head-shaved and tattooed American Idiots arrested with a shot gun and far fetched plot is quite irresponsible. Go ahead, keep giving these moron???s a spotlight and continue to compare them to a threat that is possibly the greatest threat to western civilization since the Black Plague, and you have now let them achieve their goal of becoming relevant. Come on ??? responsible journalism or tabloid BS ??? make a choice.

    I cannot make a good argument that one of the candidates for our presidency is not a good man. They both are capable. I can, however, make a case that one is the better man. SenatorObama has shown and, indeed, grown over two years to make, for me, a convincing case that he would be a superb president. Finally, finally, a youthful man, with brilliance, excellence, deliberative andcommunicative skills. We need him now more than ever!

    Good God, posters! I scanned maybe thirty or forty of these posts, and with a precious few exceptions, they're ALL about nothing! Isn't anyone happy that in less than a week, we will elect a new President? And moreover, many, many Americans, myself included, have expressed the opinion that this election is rather unique in that we really have a choice between two good and able people. I defy any person to try to credibly argue that either of these two is not a good man; I likewise challenge anyone to make a convincing case for why either is unable or unfit to do the basics of the job. Each has a very different sense of the strategies most likely to succeed at solving the country's problems; distinguishing between which of the two seems superior will be what determines each person's vote. And why shouldn't it, these candidates are, for the most part, pretty representative of the two major schools of current American thought. Why is it so hard for people to at once both advocate for their personal views while remembering that the country, which is much larger than any of us, and is a wonderful, and miraculous creation of human history, includes many tens millions of people, many of whom are wise and good, who see life and the world differently? The tininess of so much of what's been posted here seems to bear a gross and an embarrassing similarity to the tininess of these would be assassins, who, though definitely a potential threat which must be neutralized, seem, in themselves, very little, little people, whom I predict will realize in as soon as perhaps a month that whatever grandiosity characterized their outlaw fantasies for a few days in October turned quickly and mercilessly to a life of embarrassment.

    Actually, Ayers bombed for right wing causes.

    I guess you people have no other option than to cling on to the Ayers bull and calling Obama a "socialist". Thats all you have going for you.

      WOW, it has been a long time since I've heard that JOKE!!!!! Of course, the black people would not have heard this,but.....I had to laugh because whites are walking around we're on eggshells....Where is the equality????? How is it, in these UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, that two gay guys can hang a symbol of Palin in the yard and be okay with it, IF a white attempted this same message with Obama, we'd be arrested because of a hate crime.......Does anybody remember the problems in Louisiana when the school aged kids just put a noose in a tree.....they were expelled, and faced criminal charges, Sharpton, NAACP, and black panthers showed up, .....WHERE IS THE DIFFERENCE????? How does white America make this okay in our minds....A minority is dictating what the MAJORITY does???? This is not the AMERICA that I grew up in, and loved....Obama is a divider, not a uniter.....McCain/Palin '08

      The funny thing about these "White Supremacists" is that they don't hate themselves. Pick any place in Europe with the possible exception of the Scandinavian Countries, and you will find that virtually everyone has a "Touch of the Tar Brush" courtesy of the Roman Legions among others. I trace part of my ancestry to Ireland - Anyone ever hear of the "Black Irish". The Moors occupied Ireland for quite some time, and I have yet to see an instance where the occupiers didn't leave children in their wake. Do the have any Eastern European blood in their systems, if they do, then there is a damn good chance that they are part Mongol. The only thing superior about them is their stupidity. Yeah, I'm "White", but I'm neither a WASP or stupid - I'm voting for a person that wasn't labeled a punk and a thug in school. I'm voting for a man that was a leader in college, and who graduated with honors.

      As far as redistributing the wealth goes, if you really want to do that, all you need to do is go back to the old tax tables and remove ALL LOOPHOLES! The problem with that is that most of our politicians fall into the wealthy bracket and they are not going to screw themselves. If you are middle class or poor, get a good supply of K-Y jelly - you're going to need it.

    Domestic terrorists are more of a threat for sure. They are closer to us. I'm glad the gov't is attempting to step up efforts to control the violence. The problem is that as much as the d.t.'s try, they will never win. We will never let our country come to that. If they are sore about McCain losing (if he does lose), they need to sit back the next four to eight years and wait their turn to try and elect another Bush.

      So, your saying that all domestic terrorists are conservatives? What about the environmental extremists that put put metal spikes in trees that have killed loggers? There are as many Domestic Terrorists on the Left as there are on the Right.......and none are even close to being as dangerous as Islamic Extremists.....or any other Religious Extremists for that matter.

    The stock market is being manipulated.......Osama wants it to stay DOWN, so the outlook is dismal and people feel desperate......Look who's supporting him....Warren Buffett, the richest man in the world...go figure, he's repeatedly said when asked "When is enough money really, really ENOUGH?" to which he replied "Well, it's JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE".....this guy is no phalentropist....he's greedy to a fault.....he keeps his money tied up in places where the AMERICAN tax system cannot touch it, like Ted Kennedy, the patriot, keeps his money in FIJI, so the greedy tax handlers here in the USA cannot tax him.....and Osama says that spreading the wealth around is PATRIOTIC...in that case, he's short a few patriots............. McCain/Palin '08

    This is a predictable outcome of the hate-mongering being perpetuated by McCain and Palin in their speeches, ads, mailers, and robocalls. Skinheads, Aryan Brotherhood, KKK, John Birch Society and the like regard themselves as McCain's "peeps".

    McCain, Palin, and the RNC have behaved like juvenile delinquents playing with matches and negligently starting a wildfire, and then disavowing any responsibility for the resulting property damage.

    I just want to say that i think the facts of this latest neo-nazi threat should be made more apparent to people. Senator Obama was one of 88 to 102 depending on the reports I have seen that these two planned on killing. While still a scary reality check to how America is, it is not the diabolical plot on a presidential canidates life that it seems to be made into. Again I do not wish to downplay the serious threat that groups like this are. It saddens me as a political person to see what this election has turned into just a game of race versus age. Two topics that have no place in the political spectrum I wish to see this get back to the issues of the candidates not the color of their skin.

    I go to UTA and our school mascot is a maverick yet all the people who were watching the presidential debate and voting for Barack Obama didn't understand what John McCain meant when he said that he was a maverick. Tells a lot about Obama voters. And about the economy, the President of the United States does not control the economy. If you want someone to control your economy please apply for citizenship in China. This is America and a President does not impact the economy whatsoever. Also Barack Obama claims to want to unite the party yet he has voted 96% with the Democratic party.

    • Posted By: basedrum777 @ 10/29/2008 11:09:51 PM

      I'll take 96% with the Democrats over 95% with the worst president in history. Any day.

    • Posted By: rapidron @ 10/29/2008 10:53:45 PM

      To say the president has NOTHING to do with the economy just shows how stupid you are.

    Anyone remember the men. women and children (daycare) killed in Oklahoma City?

    The last great attack by a domestic terrorist was by some reich-wingers masquerading as "patriots" who feed off propaganda from "militia" groups and "patriot" (i.e. seperatist reight wing groups) such as the Alaskan Independance Part, a group Palin has supported, the her husband was a member of (until less than 2 yrs ago when she became governor) and which at first indicated she was a member of too (before they retracted). This group was based in Palin's home town (Wassilla pop under 10 thou) and the founderr and Sarah Palin were allied in local Wassila politics. She has since encouraged and addressed his seperatist party even after her husband had to quit the part because his wife became governor. Once that happened, this radical party joined forced with the republican party to support Palin.

    These groups have been quiet when they sensed that one of their ideological own (Bush) was president, but they are arming themselves now and preparing for hate iof Obama is elected. The greatest threat to America is from within, and these armed right wing groups, as they sow sepetartism, division, secession from the union, and the seeds of racial civil war.

    So many bigots on here who represent the most paranoid and idiotic of the country. I'm sure you people in real life are either weak losers who don't have friends, or very poor. You can tell this by your incredibly racist talk. Hate the haters. Screw all you bigots--you are what is wrong with the country. GTFO.

    Lets see , the goverment is spending millions watching whites...while blacks stand on corners all day long and sell drugs to our youth....nice.

    Ithink that since Mr. obama wants to redistribute the wealth so bad, he needs to start with t6hat last $150mil he raised. He should start by giving some to John McCain since he doesn't have that much yet.....then he should send us all a couple of thousand each. I know he just wants to redistribute everyone else's wealth......

  • Posted By: busby @ 10/29/2008 8:41:01 PM

    Viciousapathy. Read thevail's post. He has a problem with Jews voting for Obama. You don't "need" them. Fine, they won't. If you don't see anything wrong with that then there's nothing outside of some bigotry thrown in your direction that will make you understand.
