    ABC Reports that in a conservative radio interview that aired in Washington, D.C. Friday morning, Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin said her First Amendment rights are threatened by reporters suggesting she is engaging in a negative campaigning against Barack Obama.

    Palin told WMAL-AM that for reporters or columnists to suggest that she is going negative constitutes an attack on her free speech rights under the Constitution, saying -If the media convince enough voters that this is negative campaigning, for me to call Barack Obama out on his associations, then I don't know what the future of our country would be in terms of First Amendment rights and our ability to ask questions without fear of attacks by the mainstream media.-


    If I hadnt heard her butcher the Constitution numerous times already, I might not have believed it!

    DICK CHENEY ENDORSES MCCAIN/PALIN

    Thanks Goodness! He waited so long I was beginning to worry that he would be one of the many high-profile Republicans endorsing Obama!

    Number of unrepentant terrorist friends with anti-American views for Obama = 57

    Number of unrepentant terrorist friends with anti-American views for McCain = 0

    The choice is obvious...vote for the patriot and war hero...JOHN MCCAIN!!

    "...YesWeCan": I note that you are no longer giving the link to your bogus website....after I pointed out that it is so clumsy that no one who looks at it could believe it anything other than a pathetic attempt to make it look like an Obama supporter spews the kind of hate distributed by the McC smear machine.

    You're not fooling anyone. Give it up. You fooled no one, except yourself in believing that your clumsiness would not be so transparent.

    This moronic scumbag Samuel J. Wurzelbacher "Joe the Plumber" had his AZ driver license suspended

    http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/128323

    Wurzelbacher, who lived in Mesa in 2000 and had an Arizona driver's license, had his driver's license suspended by the Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division on May 4, 2000, following a nonpayment of a court-imposed fine for civil traffic violations, according to court records.

    ...owes nearly $1,200 in back taxes, according to public records, still owes more than $700 to the Mesa court system.

    Records show he was cited for failure to stop at a red light and for failure to provide proof of insurance on Feb. 9, 2000, in a black Dodge truck at the intersection of Dobson and Baseline roads in Mesa.

    After failing to pay his original fine of $627.50 issued in March 2000, his license was suspended and the fine was handed over to a collection agency along with a 16 percent surcharge. The now-resident of Holland, Ohio, still owes $727.90 to the Mesa Municipal Court, according to court records.

    Hopefully the collection agency will break both of his legs so he'll never be able to walk nor work ever again. This typical Republican scumbag deserves it.

    At last we won't have to endure the pure bullshit of the liberal media. MSNBC and their worthless "friends" in the network news media will have to get back to doing what they're designed to do, report news and not make it. If all we wanted is network editorials at "news time" we'd hire the fools at the New York Times to give us that kind of tripe (because they're go good at it). We don't need a Socialist/Communist leading our country, especially one who's citizenship is in question and who's judement is grossly lacking. If you like to see your family's hard-earned money being wasted on social moochers why not move to Sweden?

      Even McCain said on Larry King Live that Obama is not a Socialist. It's all rhetoric. The change Obama is seeking starts and ends with us. He will call on all of us to take action, to get involved and to create the America we all know is possible. That is th edifference between Obama and every other candidate - Obama does not think he can fix our problems alone - he knows it's going to take communities, individuals making efforts and sacrifices to make our country a better place to live in - this means signing up for community service, doing your part to hold our elected officials accountable, getting neighbors involved in community watch programs and recylcing efforts, etc. This is the change we seek: WE ARE THE CHANGE WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.

      It's not about Obama - it's about the opportunity and doors he will open to allow us all to do our part and get involved - that is how we counter the withdrawl.

      Obama is not a Socialist. Anyone who buys that crap is an idiot.

      Did you think that up all by yourself or did the Repugnicans give you a script? As everyone knows, the media, with the exception of Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow, is completely in the tank for McInsane and Failin'. After all, there are approximately 3-5 major corporations that controls media in this country and they are in love with the repugnicans. And you have the balls to accuse Obama of being a socialist when the repugnicans haven't found a tax break or financial incentive that they don't want to give to big business? Unbelieveable. Perhaps you should be the one to move. There are many facist countries to choose from, so don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you!

    "Joe the Plumber" (fictional character made up by McCain), I believe was probably planted there at an Obama Q&A by a McCain campaigner. Another reason to believe McCain is not up to the job of being the leader of our country. He's feeding a false idea that only a really dumb person would buy. Again, his target demo is the very narrow dumb-ass demographic.

      1000% AGREE- IT IS SHOWS HOW MCCAIN/PALIN HAS NO PLAN, NO NEW IDEAS, NO NOTHING. JOE THE PLUMBER IS A BAD MOVE, BAD JUDGEMENT ON MCCAIN'S BEHALF TO ALL OF US IN OHIO, INDIANA AND A LOT OF PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD..... WE DO NOT UNDERSTANDS WHERE MCCAIN/PALIN ARE ON ANY ISSUES. MCCAIN NEEDS TO RETIRE AND HE NEEDS TO SEND PALIN BACK HOME WHERE SHE BELONGS. MCCAIN/PALIN WILL LEAD THE UNITED STATES TO A DISASTER.. GO VOTE EARLY AND STAND IN LINE UNTIL YOU CAST YOUR VOTE FOR OBAMA/BIDEN.
      OBAMA/BIDEN WILL WIN!

      Please tell me you're not expecting anyone to buy this crap.... A Republican plant? LMAO! It was a simple question! The lengths that knot heads like you will go to divert attention away from Obama's incredibly socialist "take it from those who have earned it, and give it to those who have not" statement, is simply incredible within itself!

    BREAKING:

    Sarah Palin is pranked--extensively--by a false French President "Nicholas Sarkozy."

    As the call becomes more and more farcial and unbelievable--as the "President", swears, makes double entendres, and sings, all in an exaggerated French accent, she continues. She never discovers it until it is revealed:

    headofstate.blogspot.com/2008/11/shes-ready.html

    Listen, and decide how she might respond to a false Vladimir Putin.

  • Posted By: Concerned Canadian @ 11/01/2008 1:48:42 PM

    Two central issues in the election Barack Obama is wrong and misleading:

    1) No tax increases to those earning $250,000 or less promised by Obama, then he
    lowered this figure to $200,000, then the "Gift that keeps on Giving" Joe Biden says
    the number is $150,000 and just yesterday Gov. Bill Richardson says the figure is
    $120,000 ...and now a videotape is disclosed where it shows Obama recently stated
    that in the interest of fairness with taxes is around $80,000.00!!
    Sounds like good old fashion Democratic ???reverse auction ???tax policy they implement
    after they break their campaign promise to the American people.

    2) On national security ...Obama???s own VP running mate Joe Biden ... ???mark my words,
    this guy Obama is going to be tested by a generated international crisis within 6
    months of his Presidency..I guarantee it??? Obama will meet with USA's enemies with
    no pre-conditions!
    John McCain???s surge strategy in Iraq is working and its saving the lives of young
    American men and women in uniform serving there...Obama won't admit to this day
    the surge is working and he voted to cut funding for these military forces !!

    John McCain is Commander-In-Chief material ....Obama is just a cardboard "cut-out"
    candidate of the DNC.

    What is most troubling in todays political climate is the promotion of hatred as a philosophy. The emergence of an ultraconservative dogma relies increasingly on the encouragement of mass hostility aimed at one group in particular - Americans with progressive political views. Liberals are spoken of with the kind of dripping contempt and virulent hostility that used to be associated with racism and sectarian religious strife. Liberals are viewed not as fellow Americans citizens concerned with the future of their country, but as ideological enemies that need to be destroyed - and eaten if possible. This view is fundamentally anti-American.

    This right-wing sect manifests a complete lack of empathy toward other Americans whom it defines as its ideological enemies. Its core beliefs are absolutely impervious to reason and are unleashing ugly and violent impulses. What makes their zeal so dangerous for our country is their willingness to do serious damage to our precious American Democracy in their quest for absolute power.

      "Concerned Canadian": In an earlier posting you said "we Canadians just voted in..."

      Are you entitled to vote in our election, or are you just 'helping'?

      Having looked at the same old postings you keep pasting on these sites, you look more like you're part of the R propaganda machine that has been spamming us all, since McC sold out to the rightwing, with those countless viral emails filled with smears, hate, innuendo, lies and propaganda.

      If you're not part of that propaganda machine, then why do you keep inserting yourself relentlessly with your many, many posts?

    "Nowforthetruth" is now selling that Obama has PLO buddies referring to an LA Times story about Rashid Khalidi. McCain dropped that when it was disclosed that McC donated $440k to Khalidi.

    See for yourselves at: http://richmonddemocrat.blogspot.com/2008/10/mccain-funded-rashid-khalidi.html

    "Nowforthetruth", a little more "truth" about guilt by association....

    "Nowforthetruth" also said: "Nins, all you prove is that you have perpetual PMS and cannot read. If you are as careless in your practice, you are a danger to your profession." You reveal too much of yourself "Nowforthetruth".

    "Nowforthetruth" continues repasting that the cause of our problem is a law decades old that encourages loans to qualified low income people. "Nowforthetruth" continues to repeat well known deceit.

    Alan Greenspan stated recently that the problem was not anything like that. Rather, he stated that an entire financial system was built outside of regulation, and "we trusted" these self-interested looters to regulate themselves. Credit Default Swaps were the result.

    Credit Default Swaps increased from $106 trillion in '02 to $531 trillion under the R stewardship. No regulation.

    While there are several variations of a viral email that tries to blame a few thousands of political donations to some Ds, the actual, legitimate news has reported that Fannie and Freddie paid many millions to Republican lobbyists to lobby Rs, only, to PREVENT REGULATION.

    McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis, received up to $35K/mo. from Fannie and Freddie from 2000 to present, to lobby Rs,only, against regulation. Freddie paid Rick Davis while he has been McC's campaign manager. Freddie donated $250k to the R convention.

    These facts are everywhere in the legitimate news: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/22/us/politics/22mccain.html and http://www.newsweek.com/id/164732/page/1 There's much more legitimate news on this.

    Trillions were looted from our economy because the Rs allowed it. It is inescapable that the Rs, most prominently McC's campaign manager, were in the pockets of big money while they drove the buss off the cliff with us in it.

    You can try to distract people with fears about 'those guys'. Lies, distortion, deception. 'Socialist' is only the last in a long, now desperate, list of labels you have tried to pin on 'that one'. That's all you have left.

    Is your most recent reposting here directed to fears about "Socialism", or is it just innuendo, or are we trying to fold in a little racism too?

    Since we have no more ideas, let's keep running our campaign on fear, smears and hypocrisy.

    Keep talking "Nowforthetruth", you're really helping. You keep demonstrating that we all have to vote against lies and propaganda and attempts to hijack our political process with deceit. Your actions are the kinds of reasons that I'm voting for Obama after 40 years of never havin

    Jesse Jackson is no friend of the Jews (hymie-town) and no friend of Barack Obama (He???s talking down to black people. I wanna cut his nuts off.). As reported in The Washington Post, Jackson has not been asked to serve as an Obama surrogate, has not been asked to campaign jointly with him, and was given no role at the Democratic National Convention for the first time in decades and was not asked to endorse Obama.

    And yet, for some inexplicable reason, Obama detractors would have us believe that Jackson is accurately describing Obamas policies and beliefs when he yet again puts his foot in his mouth and says something stupid, boneheaded, and completely detached from reality.

    Why should we take seriously anything that Jesse Jackson has to say about Barack Obama? Frankly, the only thing the two men have in common is the color of their skin.

    And, as Jeffrey Goldberg recently so eloquently put it, -So, all you rumor-mongering, fever-headed Jewish conspiracists, it becomes obvious that what you fear is not Israel???s destruction, but the presence of an African-American in the White House. -

    THE GREAT BUSH DEPRESSION
    I follow an economist named Bob Proctor. He has called the top and bottom of every market crash since the 70s correctly.
    He perfectly predicted the current meltdown and the picture he paints about what will happen next
    is terrifying.He thinks it will be worse then the great depression.
    The banks in the U.S. are going under one after the other. Countrywide ,Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch , Fanny and Freddy Mae ,AIG
    The government took them over because they are bankrupt. Even with the goverment nationalizing hundreds of billions of dollars in debt the stock market is crashing
    the credit markets are frozen and all of us may suffer beyond anything seen in generations
    McCain just like Bush " doesn't understand the economy".
    That not just my opinion its his own words. Not only does he not understand how to fix it but he does not understand how its been broken.
    It is no surprise that he doesn't. The people that make up these securities use quantum mathematical models very few people understand.
    Bush and McCain both can take the credit for this mess since they helped deregulate the laws that were protecting us.
    Bush's economic advisor Phil Graham wrote the deregulation bill that allowed banks to take huge risks with all of our future.
    Now, Phil Graham is the head of McCain's economic policy.He is also McCain's choice for the next secretary of the treasury.
    No one in this country can afford for that to happen. The last time Bush met with his economic advisors was in March. He was the last to know somthing was wrong. Phil Graham had the guts to say that we are in a mental recession after he helped create the worst economy meltdown in our lifetime. Check out this link to the truth http://my.barackobama.com/keatingvideo
    It will take the best and brightest minds in the world to get us out of this nightmare. As bad as Bush has done, McCain would be
    even more destructive because things are in much worse shape. The next president will not inherit a budget surplus like Bush did but a crashing economy and a 11,600,000,000,000 (trillion) dollars deficit. Most of it Bush created and it will take decades to pay it back.
    If you do what you have always done then you will get what you have always got.
    When it comes to policy Bush and McCain are the same 90 percent of the time.
    So why are the polls even close then ?
    Mccains team just said they no longer want to talk about the economy.Instead they would like to spend time talking about obama
    which means running the biggest smear campaign in history.
    They think they can just tell you lies and you wont be smart enough to see through it
    Let's teach him we are smarter than that
    Stand up and hold them accountable
    Bush isn't on the ballot this year but his policies are
    Elect Obama Biden 2008






    Check out this video of sarah palins interview and ask your self if she understands what she is talking about.

    Keep talking "Nowforthetruth", you're really helping. You keep demonstrating that we all have to vote against lies and propaganda and attempts to hijack our political process with deceit.
