Typical McCain bait and switch. He'll say anything . . . whichever way the wind is blowing.

Thursday October 9, 2008, 11:47 am
and his snooty wife has the nerve to say Obama is running a dirty campain, what balls, these people suck..............

Thursday October 9, 2008, 11:52 am
It's apparently all they know - nothing to improve the country or help people - just more hate and fear mongering. Sad.

I'll say it again -if someone sewed mcshame's a$$hole shut he would be a mute -and palin would be forever lost in the dark solitary confinement.

It's the truth campaign that NObama doesn't want any of you to know about. W/Nobama ur freedoms will be gone, HIgher taxes. Whatever u say to disagree w/ur neighbor will be consider a Hate or racist crime...wait and watch. This is exactly what NObama campaign is doing.

Palin's routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her "less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media." At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, "Sit down, boy."

Teaching Obama Hatred At McCain-Palin Rallies: "Terrorist!" "Kill Him!!!

I thought hate rallies were crimes and illegal. Remember this -in the worlds eye we are the terrorists -do you want more of the same? Where are the cops eager to use their taser guns -when they are really needed? I am utterly appauld and speechless. I live in a mixed neighborhood -things like this spread like a disease -their movement is terrifying me -will I be judged by the color of my skin -instead of my diversity -or will I be judged because of my diversity? Either way this is an abomination and may lead to a revolutionary war -it is very possible -do not dismiss this lightly.

Here's the memo that needs to go around. "McCain and Palin are now actively associating with terrorists". These people calling for the death of a U.S. senator are terrorists.

To have members in your rally openly advocate the murder of a U.S. Senator and Presidential candidate without immediately denouncining it is advocting sedition in the least and likely treason.

What is being done is promoting the destruction of the government through the assasination of its political leaders and anyone who publicly speaks of such action is guilty of sedition and likely treason.

Why does the media not report Sara Palin's involvement with Joe Vogler?? That should be all over the news. And why isn't the media and the people demanding John McCain release his medical records, not just allow certain individuals view them, unnumbered pages, no cell phones or copiers around. What is he trying to hide, besides his extreme uncontrollable temper?

Friday October 10, 2008, 11:26 am
Mc Cain is a liar & a phony like Palin. Mc Cain is no hero as far as I'm concerned. He turned his back on the other POWS & MIAS in Vietnam, he gave vital information to his captors so he could get medical help at a hospital, they treated him better then the other POWS when they found out who his father & grandfather were, other POWS lied to their captors when tortured for information. I wonder how many of our military men & women died because of the info he provided to the Cong. He is a traitor & should have been tried for treason along with the others who broke the code of conduct, he lies when he says " Country first", he only got where he is by hanging onto the coattails of his father & grandfather. He is a bitter person because he could not live up to them & because he knows he is yellow bellied. The government should release his propganda files while he was in Nam but good old Mc Can had them sealed, wonder why? I had a friend who was killed in Nam at the age of 19, he was a Marine & began his tour on May 13, 1967 & was killed on Oct. 12, 1968, those who died there or were left behind are the true heroes, the ones our government turned their backs on with Mc Cain's help. Palin won't be mentioning that in her smear campaigns.

Friday October 10, 2008, 12:19 pm
They are not smear compains!!! Do your homework before spewing such
hate. I can't believe all the hating going on. If you don't want to vote
for them then don't! But at least get your facts right as Obama is no angel!!! I had not decided yet but the more I see of you Liberals the more
I lean to the right...

Friday October 10, 2008, 12:22 pm
And I guess it was alright for Obama to teel his suporters to go out and
argue and get in people faces and this happened a month or so ago now is the
bad guy in this???

Friday October 10, 2008, 12:27 pm
why don't you go find that story and post it eibhlin -it's your right to do so. are those horns coming out of your head, lmao -i rest my case -you go vote right -it's your constitutional freedom.

Friday October 10, 2008, 4:39 pm
You can really see the desperation with these poor sad Conservatives, in a bed of crap of their own making and happy to scapegoat liberals and focus their xenophobic rage at Obama, the black man with a foreign name. It really lays open the real motivations of a lot of these Republican voters.

Friday October 10, 2008, 10:29 pm
There must be something good in all of this, no? The ugly face of Jim Crow exposed! Again! America has been kidding itself, or rather it has been kidded by the media. We've been told everything is honkey-dorey in the equality department, all the laws are in place - and they are, or at least most of them. But look at it another way - some million Iraqi civilians have died, millions turned into refugees, as a result of the US invasion. Talk about instant enslavement - they are enslaved by death, torture and displacement, their villages, towns and cities are rubbled, their own savagery provoked and rampant. Sound familiar?

All of this happened in 5, count 'em 5, years. Slavery in America officially lasted a hundred years or so. Slaves were not massively and deliberately killed - after all, they did the work.
Africans in America suffered terribly over a long period of time to this day. Iraqis suffered terribly by US invasion in a very short period of time but the pattern is identical in principle: Foreigners are expendable in the US view - people who 'look different' can't or shouldn't be American.

So this election is a struggle of America the Good vs America the Evil. Or is it? Obama wants to whomp into Pakistan or Iran, or both, and kill more people there. McCain wants to keep on killing in Iraq and has nothing against killing in Iran either. I ask you: What's the difference? There is a terrible equality between these two men. I can sum it up for you - a white self-confessed potential genocidal killer is as bad as a black self-confessed potential genocidal killer. That's grim but am I being unfair?

Now you may tell me Obama couldn't win this election if he didn't say he wanted to invade other countries and kill people there. Sadly I have to agree with you. And that's where the US is defunct, moribund and (as Thomas Naylor of Second Vermont Republic secession movement says) unfixable - hooked on war and killing. Worse - it looks as if the cure for this addiction - namely kicking it - would be as bad as the addiction itself. Which is what we may be witnessing in these days and weeks.

youtube now there's a reliable source, lmao. no thanks from the one with 0 trusted friends in the care2 network. now peter talks some logic, i just might if it was his link -as i have seen his possitive side in other threads. obama and genocide? the repugs have a botched commercial where his four words are placed in the middle of the narrators sentence speaking for him -in my world that person would be called creating a lie. but i heard from his mouth his own stance on darfur -if we pulled out of iraq (from our oil grubbing) -there would be more funds and persons to help -and don't forget he is the one who is desperate to have peace talks -even with the "enemy". but thank you peter -there is a lot of truth to most of what you say. we are indeed terrorists -if this doesn't stop we will have the greatest hand in destroying the world. reality bites most of the time -but it is best to live in it. we have killed thousands of innocents period. it is true that if we don't stand up against this as a whole -obama as president will also be PUSHED into extremely horrific circumstances and decissions from both sides -if we don't stand behind him and pay attention. our change has to be a united whole not half.

It's just amazing.

Show the truth to these right wing clowns and they just ignore it, then counter with lies and half truths, its all they have left. But then, if they let a little thing like the truth get in the way of feeling comfortable with their choices they wouldn't be right wingers would they? They're just here to do as much damage as they can, because if they cared about any of the things this web site represents, they'd be voting Obama too.

It's true, Obama is not perfect, he's a little right wing for my tastes, but he will absolutely do.

At what point do people realize how crazy things are? Republicans are whipped into a frenzy.

John McCain showed respectable constraint. I wonder how calculated it was. I wonder if his campaign staff are discussing the long term impact of running a campaign that goes this far in vilifying non-Republicans?

Republicans have convinced themselves that they are under siege. The language they're using is as strong as I've ever heard, and it isn't about the promotion of American values, it is about the defense of the American way of life from an internal enemy. Whether or not it is explicit in these campaign speeches, the message being taken away by Republicans is that those of us who aren't Republicans are fighting a cultural war against white heterosexuals, Christians, and Jews, and that we are collaborating to make ourselves rich by creating economic turmoil.

The videos from Ohio and Pennsylvania are not of individuals gathering around a common idea, they are a mob gathering around a common enemy. And, they're lashing out at their neighbors. Not objects. Not property. At people. There's a difference between schadenfreude and sadism.

Republicans aren't wishing their enemies trivial misfortune, they're wishing them dead.

How does this not call for alarm?

A HISTORIC TICKET.... Now that Sarah Palin has been found to have abused her powers, violated state ethics, and lied about it, I did a little digging and found an interesting historical footnote.

The McCain/Palin ticket is the first in American history in which both candidates were found to have violated ethics standards before a national election.

McCain, of course, was admonished by Senate Ethics Committee
"for exercising 'poor judgment' for intervening" with federal regulators on behalf of Charles Keating, as part of the infamous Keating Five scandal.

And now McCain's running mate has also been found to have violated state ethics laws and abused the powers of her office, as part of the "Troopergate" scandal.

The nation has had 102 major-party tickets covering 51 presidential elections over more than two centuries. And we've never had a ticket in which both candidates on the same ticket were responsible for ethics violations before a national election. McCain/Palin is the first.

It makes the whole "reform" pitch a little more difficult, doesn't it?

Saturday October 11, 2008, 11:45 am
Scary, historic times.

Our nation can never be defeated by outside enemies, but by it's own people. I pray they won't be the death of us all.

Sunday October 12, 2008, 4:26 pm
I find most disturbing when people are not informed...also, I dislike labeling people as liberal or conservative...that is so unproven...the fact that one has a political point of view does not mean they are either one...I know many people that are conservative yet vote Democratic...it borders on stupidity!!! It is extremely unpatriotic to hold campaigns of misinformation and slander and hatred...it is shameful how classless and unpatriotic the McCain/Palin are presenting themselves....at all times Obama has conducted himself as a gentleman and holds his dignity....good for him as well as his wife Michele....I know who I and everyone I know are voting for...this country can not be without Obama...he represents hope and change...

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008!!!

Monday October 13, 2008, 9:48 am
I don't think you can base their comments on ignorance and fear. You can base their comments on disappointment. They know their candidate is losing and they feel desperate with no where to turn. Granted, you have people on both sides voting for the wrong reasons, such as voting for McCain because Obama is black and voting for Obama because McCain is a bush-a-like, or because he has a woman on the ticket. You will have this disappointment in any election. I'd hate to say how many times I wished our current, President, ill will. Then there is Pelosi? Come, admitted it, you'd love to see her shot???? (I actually think she is a Republican just posing as a Democrat.) So, let's just chalk this all up to poor sportsmanship and not judge them to harshly.

As for the one yelling terrorist and Kill him or what ever it was. They should both be arrested and checked out. McCain and Palin should have said something. If it had happened at an Obama rally, he would have commented, and it would have been a profound moment. As it stands, a few more independents have probably moved to the Obama side.

OMG, I hadn't read comments on this board before posting the above. Many of you sound just like the ones in the last clip! What did the blogger say? "ignorant hate filled turds.

Nuff said."

Sacramento GOP Web Site Calls For Senator Obama To Be Tortured

* The official website of a California county's Republican Party called for Obama to be tortured. Once again, "occasional nuts" run the Republican Party.
