Cue crickets.

Of course the fact that it was the woman he chose to attack speaks volumes about this courageous liberal. Too bad it didn’t happen where there was a contingent of Veterans for Freedom or a similar group who could have given him an attitude adjustment before the cops arrived.

Voted this morn in a Democrat county of N.C.

I am guessing 50/50 Obama/McCAIN .

I am afraid to put a NOBAMA sticker on my Mazda .

How does everyone else feel ?

This entire campaign has encouraged violence against women.

We’ve seen pundits make comments about taking Clinton behind the woodshed to teach her a lesson, comediennes suggesting “our black brothers” should gang rape Palin, cartoons referring to Palin as a Mother I’ld Like to Punch and rap videos about raping Palin, Clinton, and former First Lady Barbara Bush.

What has the left come to that they are encouraging something this dispicable?

The guy that did this isn’t a Liberal. The Liberals I know support McCain.

My advice is, go to WalMart and buy a gun. Regardless of who wins this election trouble is going to erupt,particularly in urban areas.Don’t carry it around with you like some nut but keep it in your home in a secure place and learn how to use it to protect yourself and your family. Here in Baltimore the natives are already getting restless and agitated.It’s only going to get worse as people become more animal like in thier behaviour and decorum when things don’t go the way they want them to.

Hah!

The truth here is that this so-called “woman” was forcefully thrusting her “hate-speech” filled sign into this poor, innocent patriotic American’s face. He was just trying to defend his very life against this fascist, violent, out-of-control fanatic. She was white too, which means that she MUST be a racist.

We need to get the full force what little media we can still count on to be fair to put their crack reporters on it. Then we must notify the Justice Department, the IRS, the NAACP, the Daily Show, and High Times Magazine and force them to investigate every wart and pimple on this McBusHitlerite.

(Oh, wait, I think most of them are still up in Wasilla. We’ll have to recall them immediately.)

If she has so much as farted in church in the last 30 years, we’ll pillory her and every other person willing to admit they know her in the objective media. It will be tough to get the word out, because of the monopoly that the slime merchants at Fox have on the news in this country, but we have to do it.

She must not be allowed to get away with this. I already have my tickets to the coronation, and I will not permit this to interfere.

Apparently the Left can get all in a lather about a disrespectful remark or two, but when it comes to physical violence being perpetrated by supporters on their side of things…

The Hills are Aliiiiive…. with the sounds of Criiiickets

Heaven forbid you call thuggish behavior for what it is. Might hurt the poor man’s FEELINGS… don’t mind the beating he handed out to an innocent woman. That is Verboten mentioning that. Somehow trying to paint others as Fascist removes having to call out the exact, same things by your cohort of supporters and fellow travelers. And that is Authoritarian… and gets you such lovely things as Fascism. We now appear to be running the 1930’s all over again save that the Authoritarianism is now here along with its thugs. When the Left speaks out against Fascism, is it due to despising it, or secretly wanting such power and trying to legitimize it by their actions?

Oct 17, 2008 - 9:26 am 10. ST333:

It doesn’t shock me. I already thought that the majority of the left contained and mixture of the stupid, lazy, self absorbed, off kilter, hippie, dreamer, Hollywood, Elitist, Smug, “all heart and no head”, oxygen thieving zeros that plague the American society. That one of the “men” from this gene cesspool would assault a woman is what I expect from this crowd. They only fight for free speech if it fits into their beliefs. If not, a man punching a woman is Ok because they are morally righteous and “saving America and the world” from the evil, evil Republicans.

Oct 17, 2008 - 9:30 am 11. Kelly:

Jay….unfortunatly Wal-mart does not sell guns anymore. Otherwise I would buy one.

Oct 17, 2008 - 9:32 am 12. paulejb:

Think it’s bad now? If Obama is elected his storm troopers will terrorize anyone who criticises his policies. Want to spend four years being called a “racist” for voicing your opinion vote Obama.

The McCain Campaign worker was clearly a racist!

First, they came for Sarah Palin, and I said nothing because I was pro-choice. Then they came for Joe the Plumber, and I said nothing because plumbers cost too much anyway. Then they came for…

Oct 17, 2008 - 9:45 am 15. Richard:

Just as you see happening with “Joe the plummer”, the left attacks anyone who asks the question that will reveal the lies they believe. Truth? No, they attack the messinger, covertly, overtly and violently. I agree, there is much trouble ahead. All of the kook groups who’ve aligned themselves with Obama will step out if he loses and step out if he wins. Either way they spell trouble. But Obama? He’s too busy being King of the World to realize this.

Oct 17, 2008 - 9:53 am 16. John Kanaka:

Non existent hate? I guess “kill him” and “traitor” are terms of endearment easily spewed in crowds of anonymity. I don’t apologise for this guy smacking the McCain supporter, that wasn’t right- but your equivolence excusing the precedent fails. One individual nutcase does not equal a mob of incurious idiots.

Oct 17, 2008 - 9:57 am 17. Jeff:

I’m sure we won’t hear much about this from the mainstream media because they’re still too busy trying to dig up dirt on Joe the Plumber. Obama’s leftist illuminati viewpoints are being packaged as a new direction for America while all of his indiscretions are being ignored.

Oct 17, 2008 - 10:07 am 18. Jim:

John: You might have missed the report from the Secret Service investigation . . . you know, the one where they disclosed that NO ONE at the referenced Palin rally had said “kill him”, and the only witness/report supporting that alleged statement was by the news reporter who originally filed the story. Get your facts, sir!

The Secret Service just said yesterday that there is NO EVIDENCE of such thing.

But again, if you don’t give a rat about it…

Oct 17, 2008 - 10:15 am 20. Laura T.:

You all are such liars. First of all the media is not left leaning towards Obama. You have Fox, CBS, ABC. What? He’s not suppose to have anyone who has a since of fair journalism. Because the fair and balanced FOX NEWS is McCain/Palin Headquarters. I am not supporting what this man did to the guy with the McCain poster. That was wrong period!! But I am sick and tired of this crap the GOP comes up with every 4 years about Voter fraud. ACORN has been registering people for months, now all of a sudden, the GOP started this voter registration crap to have an excuse for purging legitimate voter records to help this lazy old fart McCain to win with his Moose hunting Palin. This is what they do. When they see all the crap they have been throwing isn’t sticking they decide to steal it. Ref: 2000 election.

Oct 17, 2008 - 10:16 am 21. Bernard Chapin:

Great piece thanks for letting us know about this.

Oct 17, 2008 - 10:18 am 22. John Canucka:

Up here in Canada we put people who practise free expression on trial. We have Human Rights Tribunals that determine who should be allowed free speech and who should be silenced. We are more enlightened here, and we are hoping that Obama can bring this type of enlightenment to your part of the woods.

Oct 17, 2008 - 10:18 am 23. tim maguire:

You’re exactly right newton, John doesn’t care. Neither does any other Obama voter. That guy could have beaten her to death and John would say “well, that’s no different than what somebody at a McCain rally wanted to do to Obama, and which is worse? Killing a Rethuglican or killing the Svaior?”

No, John doesn’t care, doesn’t care about anything except the accretion of raw power to “his side” by any means necessary.

Oct 17, 2008 - 10:24 am 24. tim maguire:

You’re right, Laura. Never mind that 90% of journalists vote Democratic and self-report as liberal at 3X the rate of the American public. That doesn’t make them biased because, of course, liberalism isn’t a bias, it’s just good common sense. Only conservatism is a bias.

That’s how you can look out on a sea of liberalism and see only the few small islands of conservatism rising out of it.

Why did you redact his name? The complaint is public, isn’t it? He forfeited whatever “right” to privacy he may have had.

Oct 17, 2008 - 10:28 am 26. dom801:

R a Z o R: In all honesty – I’m afraid to have my Obama sign in my yard. I’m afraid for my children’s safety when I drive my mini van with my Obama magnet on the back. I’ve never felt so much anger in an election before… not even in 2004.

Oct 17, 2008 - 10:30 am 27. Marty:

This big bad liberal must have felt very macho attacking a woman, SO SO TYPICAL OF THE FAR LEFT.

Pathetic Democrats………………..

Oct 17, 2008 - 10:30 am 28. Laura T.:

Some of you all should just go out and join the Klan and be through with it. This man was born in Hawaii in 1961 to a white single female. His mother and grandparents raised him in Kansas mostly. His grandfather was his main male role model. He fought in Patton’s Army and his grandmother worked on a bomber assembly line. He loves this country and he watched his mother die of cancer fighting the insurance company. It doesn’t matter what reasons he gives for Ayers or anyone else Rezko who by the way McCain has ties with and he also gave money to the Clintons when Bill Clinton was in office. There isn’t one politician who checks all backgrounds when trying to get support for a campaign. Funny how you talk about the media not getting out his shortcomings, but the public hasn’t heard about John McCain’s Keating Five ties, or his good buddy and campaign contributor of 2007 G.Gordy Liddy a true domestic terrorist who has said recently he’s unrepentant of his actions. But that’s what happens when you have some narrow minded angry scared ignorant white people who have an unfair view of the world and a herdsman like mentality which means they follow the crowd and not really logically think for themselves and do their own homework. John McCain comes from wealth. He could care less for the working class people in this country. Married to a Billionaire Beer heiress. On the other hand here’s a man with 1 car 1 house a wife of 16 yrs. and two well mannered girls and understands not having enough, and wants to see this country and its people thrive, and bring jobs back. Oh, but too bad his skin color offends some ignorant people of different races although his grandparents and mother were white too. We as Americans have been dumbed down PERIOD!!

Oct 17, 2008 - 10:35 am 32. tyson:

If you want to talk about HATE, Lets talk about these idiots comments on this comment section. Wow, Also, No one heard someone yell kill him at a rally, If you didnt then youre not wanting to hear it or you think its ok, no other way to put it. Then you show where one person is scared to put a Nobama sticker on her Mazda in NC, REALY, NC? I live in South Carolina and when I put my Obama sticker on my 4×4 truck, Boy the hate that spewed my way. But I guess the difference is I will only put a sign up or sticker up that shows my support. I dont have time to waste putting something up that only shows how I hate someone else. Thats HATE people. Get real

Oct 17, 2008 - 10:36 am 33. P.T.:

Liberals are downright surly and vicious. I’m afraid to put my McCain/Palin sticker on my car. The sign in my front yard disappeared. Has everyoneseen the video of the way New Yorkers treated peaceful McCain marchers?

Oct 17, 2008 - 10:37 am 34. Waldorf:

I Have a house full of firearms. I have a Weatherby 270, two 22 cal rifles, three shotguns “12 and 20 gauge” and a glock model 30 45 cal I carry everywhere. I have a conceal carry permit. Trust me, these obamatons are nothing but thugs and thives and crack whores. They are also weak liberal homosexual white men and lazy entitlement minded white women. Obama will lose on 11/4. The Joe the Plumber revelation which exposed Obama for the socialist he is will be his undoing. I plan on being loaded up after 11/4 and in prtection mode. I expect the blacks to riot because of ocurse they are all animals. Let them riot. I am not afraid. Big mistake to attack me is all I can say.

Oct 17, 2008 - 10:38 am 35. Rick:

The news report that secret service investigation that they found no truth that Sara Palin refused to stop her mob from yelling “Kill Him” is false. Remember the secret service works for George Bush and they have a vested interest in denying that it occured. I know someone who knows someone that was there and they assured me that it did happen. If it is reported on MSNBC it must be true. Palin stood there and encouraged them. George Bush is probably responsible for their actions. He was personally behind it. Also the man in this story was probably a republican planted by McCain to make President elect Obama look bad. Remember it is not the Democrates who do sneaky things like it, only Republicans.

Oct 17, 2008 - 10:39 am 36. Lydia:

Expect more of this type of thing from the foaming at the mouth liberals. Everything about them is contradction, free speech, tolerance, diversity. It’s all bullsh*t unless you walk in lock step with them. As seen by all the post from liberals right here they just spew more hate speech instead of any compassion for a woman being attacked.

God forbid Barak Hussein Obama becomes our president. If so it will only encourage these haters into more violence!

Oct 17, 2008 - 10:39 am 37. MCPA08:

My wife does a little work for McCain/Palin here in a relatively conservative area of California. She says people are coming in for the second or third time for lawn signs as their original ones are being destroyed.
There’s one guy down the street from us with an obama sign. It has yet to be touched.
dom801 – I think you are safe. It is the people on your side who are dangerous and violent. Hope you sleep well with them.

John Kanaka – Please show us the video, a picture, an audio tape, anything that would indicate that a McCain supporter anywhere has behaved in this manor. You can’t, because it doesn’t happen. Liberalism is truly a mental disorder.

Poll finds American reject redistribution of wealth as suggested by Barack Hussein Obama.

PRINCETON, NJ — When given a choice about how government should address the numerous economic difficulties facing today’s consumer, Americans overwhelmingly — by 84% to 13% — prefer that the government focus on improving overall economic conditions and the jobs situation in the United States as opposed to taking steps to distribute wealth more evenly among Americans.

Americans Oppose Income Redistribution to Fix Economy

[Note: Elect John McCain for a free America and economic growth.]

Oct 17, 2008 - 10:43 am 43. Paul From Hamburg:

Laura,
A few bits of helpful advice:
1. Find a community college and take an Introduction to Writing course.
2. Purchase, read, and re-read “The Elements of Style” by Strunk and White.
3. Buy a dictionary and look up words you don’t know how to spell.

For the record, some of us have know about ACORN and the fraud they perpetrate for several years. If you would like to discuss attempts to disallow votes, please remember this: In 2000, before the actual election, before the Florida recount, before the butterfly ballot, before CBS tried to give the state to Gore, before any of that, the Democratic party had a plan in place to try to disallow military absentee ballots. Before they knew that the absentee ballots would be important, Democrats were trying to keep military personnel from having their votes count. Democrats love to cry “Fraud!” and claim Republicans are stealing elections, but when the actual evidence is examined, it becomes very clear that Democrats are the masters of election theft.

Oct 17, 2008 - 10:46 am 44. The Oracle:

There will be a lot more violence if Obama loses in November. All his faithful supporters will take to the street and start riots that make the L.A. riots look like a folk festival. Lets face it, the democratic voting base is generally a very self centered angry lot.

If Obama loses, be preparded to defend this country from the radical left leaning liberal socialists. When they take to the streets, don’t run away, run out and fight them and drop them where they stand.

Oct 17, 2008 - 10:47 am 45. Larry Daley:

This and those rabid attacks on “Joe Plumber” and those on Palin may well backfire. It might seem that Obama and his supporters are imploding and approaching mental break down; with the lead in the polls Obama has (or appears to have) it seems extraordinary that he would would be nervous about Fox News; and he lacks the confidence to face questions about Israel that could be Jewish audiences and so he has canceled scheduled speeches. “Joe Plumber” has found that weekness and irritated even irrational words from Obama can be expected.

You can still purchase guns at Walmart. At least in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri, and Texas. Havn’t hunted in any other states but I can vouch for those four. My guess would be Wally world sells guns in all but the most fanatical states. If you’re in a tradionally red state or a hunting friendly state you can most likely get a gun at Sam’s shop. In MA, NY, WA and CA you’re screwed. Sorry. Thanks to the liberal’s “gun laws” you’ll just have to go to the innercity of the nearest metropolis and ask anyone on the street where you can buy a gun. A criminal will be happy to accomodate you. You’ll get more firepower for less money than from Wall-mart anyway.

Oct 17, 2008 - 10:51 am 48. dom801:

Waldorf: “weak liberal homosexual white men and lazy entitlement minded white women” – really? Is that what you think of other people who disagree with you? That’s amazing. I am an educated white woman voting for Obama. I am in no way lazy or believe I am entitled to anything I haven’t worked for.

RJ: “dirtiest and most racist in history” – It is also amazing to me that the first black President elect is running the most racist election. Funny, I thought they fought against racism so that people like you would treat them with the dignity and respect they deserved.

Oct 17, 2008 - 10:52 am 49. Zeppo:

No, this won’t be reported by ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS, MSNBC, the NYT, the WaPo, or the LAT. Now, if that bespectacled, older woman had hit that lard-assed liberal, it’d be everywhere, and the crucifiction of Joe Plumber would cease immediately. Did you see the ruling by the Supreme Court concerning Ohio? The Democrats just stole that state’s election with 200,000 fraudently registered votes courtesy of ACORN. That means 200,000 legal voters were just disenfranchised. There ought to be a law. Oh wait. There was. The Secretary of State doesn’t have to follow it, and no one can force her to. Welcome to the People’s Socialist Republic of America.

To those of you democrats who dispise republicans for what ever reason real or imagined; I harbor no animosity. But you owe it to this country to understand what the slippery slope of socialism and concentrated government power brings. Just because Obama is running as a democrat does not discount his socialist ideology. You may rejoice in the “change” that he promises but this country can not thrive as a socialist economy. If your candidate wins the power you grant the government in this election will be there for the republicans you dispise to use against you someday in the future as well. John McCain runs as a republican but he is closer to JFK than Ronald Reagan. I have to assume most liberals are not socialist and understand there is a difference between the democratic party and the socialist party. Obama’s ideology is much closer to socialism than capitalism. Just as the Republicans are moving closer to the center with McCain, the democrats have lurched to the extreme left with Obama. The country hangs in the balance.

All my Republican friends and myself can pick out a Liberal a food stamp away. NEVER has any Liberal/Muslim/Democrat attempted to hassle us. Our spouses as well. Maybe it’s our energy or something. Maybe it’s they would be thrown to the ground and silenced in all of the time it took them to yell “racist!” or ” More food stamps!”.

Sure hope they dont steal this election. If they do we will all see some History in the making.

And I thought Fox News and CNN had the whole one-sided reporting thing down. You guys win the prize.

What you failed to report is what the woman (and other volunteers) were yelling. And you would NOT want them campaigning for you…unless your bigots, racists, or hate-filled. I’m all for campaigning and speaking your peace, but hurling insults from a conservative ivory tower (even when you’re in NYC) is insulting to all of us.

When, oh when, can I have my Republican party back? Remember the one that did NOT want the gov’t hands in our pockets, who wanted fiscal responsibility and acted in CONSERVATIVELY when dealing with foreign matters? Yeah, me neither.

Typical hypocritical liberal. Free speech means it only free if you have drank the MoveOn.Org, Soros, Barky koolaid. The liberals have been at the very bottom of dividing this country because their plan is to destroy us from within. United we stand, divided we fall is not just a bumper sticker, it’s the truth and the communists (liberals) in this country are determined to take us down. DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN. DO NOT VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS THIS YEAR.

Hey Rick, most people will believe dedicated Secret Service agents before some liberal dip named Rick who says he “knows someone who was there”! It didn’t happen and the reporter lied. No one yelled “Kill him!”. Typical liberal bs.

Obama is treating this election as if it were a court trial and he’s the defense attorney. He’s doing all he can to avoid the truth, he discredits the witnesses and casts doubt on his apponent. All he needs the jury to do is have “reasonable doubt” about McCain and he’ll win. We the people are the jury, but unfortunately, ACORN has seen to it to put all pro-Obama jurers on the bench. The judge is also on Obama’s side, so obama will win the judgement. They say you can’t fight city hall. Not when city hall (and the media) is 100% pro-Obama and anti-American.

The hypocrisy in our country has reached an all time high. The people that believe in protecting the life of the unborn are the extremists. Sarah Palin , who I’m sure is no rocket scientist, has received disgraceful treatment from the Media and left. People are voting for Obama as a uniter, he has never written a piece of legislation with anyone from the other side of the aisle. Joe Biden is a plagiarist , and an outright liar about past events! If anyone can please tell me what it was about chief justice john Roberts that Obama felt was enough to vote no for, please let me know. Am I crazy that Obama wants to lower the taxes of people that don’t even pay taxes and don’t agree with it. The left in this country are the true fascists, if you disagree with anything they say , you are labeled a racist! WORK HARDER AMERICA , SOMEONE ON WELFARE IS DEPENDING ON YOU!

To John Kanaka (#16):

“I guess “kill him” and “traitor” are terms of endearment easily spewed in crowds of anonymity.”

YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE MORON.

The accusation of “kill him” has been investigated and proven to be false by the Secret Service. The writer that authored that story (which was subsequently run on EVERY liberal media outlet – before it was even vetted for accuracy!) can’t even offer any proof to validate his false claim. The Secret Service investigated thoroughly and interviewed scores of witnesses…and guess what?!?! No one heard a darn thing. I’m not surprised one bit that a liberal journalist would fabricte such a story in order to further Obama’s political aspirations. Read the article for yourself, I’ve included a link to it for your convenience: http://www.timesleader.com/news/breakingnews/Secret_Service_says_Kill_him_allegation_unfounded_.html

As far as “traitor” is concerned, what else would you suggest we call a person that literally launched their political career from the home of a known domestic terrorist (Bill Ayers)?!?!?!

Personally cant see any reason to vote for obama. Unless you hate America, hate white folks or are just awaiting an even bigger government handout than you’ve been getting.
Someone said a democracy can only last until enough voters realize they can vote for largess to be awarded to themselves from the public trough and do so. I think unfortunately, we are there. Bye Bye Miss American Pie.

Oct 17, 2008 - 11:08 am 66. Anthony:

Can someone, anyone, please provide any evidence of a pattern of violence being perpetrated BY Republicans/Conservatives AGAINST Democrats/Liberals?

The evidence is quite clear. We have campaign headquarters being vandalized; signs being firebombed; supporters being physically assaulted; automobiles rented by campaigns to transport voters having their tires slashed on election day; and a list longer than both my arms stitched together of additional offenses. The media has been complicit in creating this idea that “violence begets violence”, and so the Republicans deserve what they get. Except for the very inconvenient fact that the Republicans are not doing much, if any, of the violence in the first place.

I hold the media responsible for most of this activity. They are misinforming the public about the “danger” presented by McCain/Palin and their “angry mobs” of followers. It’s simply not there. Go to a McCain/Palin event, and you will see people engaging in the pinnacle of courtesy… even in the face of protesters, condescendors, gate-crashers and other disruptive characters.

It’s quite obvious that the media is also complicit the current attempt to disrupt this election with claims of voter fraud, intimidation and “vote suppression”, as they stack up claims by Republicans that the actions of ACORN, and similar groups, need to be investigated and voter identification needs to be substantiated. Why does proving you have a right to vote equate to “voter intimidation”? Why are people, only on the left, afraid to identify themselves as being legal voters in a community where they live? I am very disappointed with the Supreme Court decision today saying that every vote must be counted, even if it belongs to a corpse, or 2nd grader, or Mickey Mouse. The whole thing is a carefully crafted (although not consciously conceived) attempt at stealing the election from McCain/Palin and handing it to Obama/Biden. Heck, even the polls are tilted. They have to interview 30% more Democrats than Republicans in order to give the impression that Obama is winning. The only reason they would do that is to dishearten the Conservative voters, and make them feel “weird”, “stupid” or just “hateful” for supporting their candidate.

The propaganda machine moves on. 90% of journalists can’t be wrong, can they? I actually fear a McCain win, because the media will now spend another four years telling us what a failure he is, how angry and erratic he is, and how he didn’t deserve to be elected, anyway. Tell me how that will serve this country. Please.

Ugh. It’s hardly even worth writing about at this point. The truth will never get through to most Americans, anyway. They think all world events can be understood in 20 minutes or less.

How many more McCain voters are going to be attacked by Obama Zombies? I can’t imagine what would happen if my family was attacked. Its might be ugly if ever tried. But don’t let my courage stop you from doing your worst. Please show you brother liberals what you’re really made of.

Have you noticed attacking women are easy targets for Obama men? Or is it girly men. Of course, most girly Obama men just raise their middle finger, or burn McCain signs, or even scream profanities like those funny girly men in San Francisco and Boston.

Racism, violence (against women), lying, you name it. I suspect they’re basic dislike of firearms not only stems from their lack of understanding or familiarity with them, but also it’s because they project onto others what they know they’re capable of with a weapon.

They say its true a democracy cant be subdued from outside. Its always kills itself from inside. I see it here. In this election. The left is determined to silence all objections even if it destroys the whole system. They have killed the free exppression of ideas. They have killed debate. Dont believe me? try talking about race @ work, or in college without being screamed at. Try talking about abortion in mixed company. They absolutley cannot tolerate any dissention.They are so full of hate and venom. In 3rd world coutries they would be dictators. And may be here someday. If our way of life implodes in America, it wont be from global warming, nuclear attack or financial collapse. It will come from the left.

Why am I not surprised? Cowardly Socislists have always needed a scapegoat on whom to blame their woes. Terrorizing them with supposedly-righteous indignation is exactly how they energize their minions. Remember how (in the late 30-s) Hitler’s bullying “brown-shirts” paraded around, first taunting, then (with ever-increasing frequency and ferocity) brazenly, shamelessly, mugged the Jewish citizenry in Germany when he was coming to power? Unchecked, it leads inexorably to mass graves.

This has been a particurlarly vicious political season. Only a few days ago, I saw a video of (not than many) McCain supporters walking through that bastion of liberalism… New York City. By more than a few people, the Mc Cain supporters, doing nothing more than walking in the street with signs, were being screamed at, angrily told to “Get outta here!”, and obscene gestures were offered by men and women alike.

Same here on the Nobama sticker on the back of a vehicle. I have a friend who has a Nobama sticker on the back of his truck and he had to stay at a hotel around here not to long ago. The next morning when he came out his tires were slashed. Was it because of the Nobama sticker? Was it because he was in military uniform? Was it a random act? I don’t know and he doesn’t either but I can say that he’s stayed at that hotel many times previously with the other members in my unit and has never had a problem. Now with the addition of the Nobama sticker he wakes up the next morning and his tires are slashed. Hmmm…I wonder. I’d love to put a Nobama sticker on the back of my vehicle but I too worry about the people I live around or the next police officer that pulls me over for speeding.

I have a McCain sticker on my minivan in Austin tx (lib heaven). It’s been vandalised. I live on the east (poor, liberal) side of town, and am honestly worried about my safety when voting. I’ll have to stealth-vote and borrow an unstickered vehicle to drive to the polling station. And probably lie if I’m asked an exit poll question. That’s life in the Obama-nation for you.

And I voted for Kerry, Gore and Clinton. So I’m hardly a rabid republican fanatic.

steffy: All politics aside, your comments really hurt. I may be voting for Obama this election, but I’ve voted for McCain in the 2000 primary and voted for our Republican mayor. I may, by your standards be considered a “liberal” – but I’ve got to tell you… I am an educated woman, with a professional career. I’ve managed to have two children while also working full-time. We have cut costs on so many things in our home, by reducing bills and selling a car over the summer. My husbands company has completely stopped giving overtime, and he doesn’t make a high enough hourly wage to live off of. We don’t have enough money to buy groceries. We buy what our children need and my husband and I don’t eat many nights. What you said really hurt because it’s almost as if you were implying you didn’t care if my family and I didn’t eat and that food stamps are something to laugh at. But, I’ve got to be honest when I say, they may not be that far off because frankly I’m getting sick of having stomach cramps when going to bed.

These are crazy days, it is a shame that the best the republicans could do is John McCain and Sarah Palin, I have great respect for McCain, but a Maverick doesn’t have to continually tell us he is a Maverick. A good buddhist will never tell you he is good or a buddhist. I am convinced the average American is reaching a level of ignorance that is really alarming, knowing full well that I am not doing Rocket Science either. But issues don’t matter anymore. We need more of a Canadian style government, give us a few more choices, a few more parties, and lets vote for Party , not individual. The amount of $$ wasted on this popularity contest is a disgrace! I look forward to the house Republicans coming of age, they will come out of all of this looking the best in the long run, John Boehner ,Eric Cantor , etc etc are the future of the right, even an old Libertarian like me could rally around some of those people!

I once had to dodge questions from my confused and concerned 4 year old daughter, when some lady verbally attacked us in a CVS parking lot while I was simply buckling her and my other infant daughter into the car. She approaced me calling me the C-word among other pleasantries just because I had a sticker on my car.

Basically it was my first political “teaching” moment and explained that what she witnessed was what happens when someone crosses over the line from “having” a belief and “becoming” their beliefs. I’m not niave enough to believe that it doesn’t exit on the conservative side, but I’ve seen many more violent, unstable and unprovoked attacks coming from the left.

She was not insured by an american company at that time. Thus when she returned and bought insurance she had a pre-existing condition. It amazes me as a Mccain supporter that I have read 4 books on Obama 2 his own. And the average person who will vote for him read none. More over non of them realize when he was elected to state senate he was a member of the NEW PARTY not the DEMS< The New Party is a socialist party. do some reasearch before you vote or spout off.

Has anyone noticed how many more incidents there are of vicious liberals? They just can’t stand to have anyone oppose their views. If conservatives supporting McCain exhibited this kind of behaviour, he would hear about every incident on the mainstream media, and conservatives would be called horrible names. The fact that Obama supporters have foul mouths and are violent in a much greater proportion is ignored – probablya because the standards for behaviour of Democrats is so much lower.

The news report that secret service investigation that they found no truth that Sara Palin refused to stop her mob from yelling “Kill Him” is false. Remember the secret service works for George Bush and they have a vested interest in denying that it occured. I know someone who knows someone that was there and they assured me that it did happen. If it is reported on MSNBC it must be true. Palin stood there and encouraged them. George Bush is probably responsible for their actions. He was personally behind it. Also the man in this story was probably a republican planted by McCain to make President elect Obama look bad. Remember it is not the Democrates who do sneaky things like it, only Republicans

BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID.

Example of what happens in Communist/Socialist countries.
Is that what we want in America? Can’t speak your mind, can’t put up a McCain sign out of fear for your property or your family.

Vote No Obama and Co.

Oct 17, 2008 - 11:48 am 128. Steve:

Obama’s supporters include countless journalists who’ve sacrificed their professsional ethics in devotion to him; at least 2 domestic terrorists; the leader of Hamas; Venezuela’s socialst dictator Hugo Chavez; communist thug dictator Fidel Castro; a “community organizing” group that’s attempting to corrupt the election; scores of idiotic, socially-irresponsible celebrities; Louis Farrakhan, who believes that white people were created in a lab by an evil black scientist; racist, America-hating Jeremiah Wright; a comic who joked about Sarah Palin being gang-raped; and this guy, who physically attacked a woman for carrying a McCain sign. We’d have to be out of our minds to give these people a victory in November.

Oct 17, 2008 - 11:49 am 129. Demosthenes:

Liberals are teh suck!

This is the party of tolerance and choice? Sure, but only if your choice is what THEY think you should choose.
The party that cares about the oppressed, the minorites, and “feels your pain”? Sure, but only if you think like THEM.
The party of civil liberties? Sure, but only if you parrot THEIR views and opinions, else you have NO rights.

What a bunch of hypocritical, intolerant, censorious, violent, jackbooted thugs liberals have become!

Meanwhile, the mainstream media (i.e., ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, NYT, all of Hollywood, etc.) have discarded any vestigial remains of objectivity. No longer content to report the news, they want to make and shape the news. It has been abundantly clear that the MSM wants Obama elected, and they are spinning and tilting EVERYTHING THEY SHOW YOU to make that happen. The polls you hear about typically ask their questions of 600 Democrats and 400 Republicans, and you wonder why all the polls show Obama ahead? Is the American public so dumb and apathetic that they are going to let this continue?

The double standard is enough to make blood shoot out of your eyes.

Democrats have made PERSONAL, slanderous, uncalled-for attacks on Sarah Palin and her family for weeks, but that’s OK. Saying Sarah Palin is a c*nt is OK, saying she should be gang-raped is OK, but saying Obama is a liar or is hiding the truth about his associations is a crime against humanity. Sarah Palin has been governor for 2 years, but she is fatally unexperienced. Obama has been a Senator for only 13 weeks longer than Palin has been governor, and has spent ALL of his time in the Senate doing nothing but campaigning for President, but somehow HE is supremely qualified.

WTF???

Liberals and Democrats ALL OVER this country are committing violence against conservatives, Republicans, and McCain supporters, but that’s not reported. Anybody who disagrees with Obama or won’t vote for Obama is just a stupid racist. If you question Obama’s past or his background or his friendships with people who OBVIOUSLY hate America or the Amerian way of life(we have it in their own words), you’re just a stupid racist.

Meanwhile, Obama has practiced guilt by association for months now, equating McCain = Bush, but somehow that’s OK. Anybody who’s paid even the slightest attention would know that McCain has opposed Bush more than any other Republican, but the lie is repeated over and over without comment.

WTF???

If Obama IS elected, I must conclude that Americans are the dumbest, laziest, most ignorant voters in history.

Oct 17, 2008 - 11:50 am 130. Mark:

I’m voting Democrat because I believe partial birth abortion is okay but water boarding a terrorist is disgusting.

I’m voting Democrat because I believe having a domestic terrorist like Bill Ayers as a close friend is a good thing. It allows for great relations with foreign terrorists.

I’m voting Democrat because I believe illegal aliens deserve all the rights of ordinary Americans plus some additional rights Americans do not have.

I’m voting Democrat because I believe we need to rid ourselves of dependency on foreign oil, BUT I AM AGAINST offshore drilling for oil and natural gas, drilling in Anwar, building nuclear power plants and clean coal technology.

And finally, I’m voting Democrat because I believe Reverend Wright when he said “GODDAMN AMERICA” and “OUR CHICKENS ARE COMING HOME TO ROOST”. Hey let’s make a comfortable nest for those chickens!

Why are you voting Democrat?

Oct 17, 2008 - 11:52 am 134. IrishKay:

Right at this moment I’m actually looking for someone who gives a crap about this country, it’s citizens, it’s future! It makes me sick to think that it comes across as some sort of game these two buttholes are playing instead of the reality of it all — a lot of people who have worked long and hard for their savings and investments have had it wiped out! That there is no vetting process for these candidates, that the mainstream news media are so biased and elitist that the news is distorted, slanted, created, and sometimes omitted, and they are outright brazen about it! The fact that the news media ‘knows’ we, the people can get news now 24/7 anywhere in the world doesn’t even bother them.

That McCain won’t call Obama out on his birth certification requirements, that Obama won’t produce it, that the media won’t invesigate it is a crime! That there is visable voter fraud reported and no one seems concerned by the fact that there are legitimate ties by Obama to ACORN, and it could ultimately turn an election, that our vote won’t matter, and no one is screaming about it is unamerican! It is horrible to see this country divided by race- I thought we all have come along way until this election! Freedom of speech is being extinguished under the guise of ‘racist’, people are being investigated for stating their opinions, and we are all diminished by it.

I give to charitble organizations all the time, through my church and where I work, I sponsor 4 kids through the Christian children’s fund, I want to decide where my hard earned dollars go, I don’t want the government doing it for me. I am an adult-I live in America-I work hard for my pay-and to have the government mandating that they will ‘take’ , I mean steal, my money and spread it around bothers the hell out of me!

Oct 17, 2008 - 11:53 am 135. Susan:

Just as Obama’s thugs try to shut down radio stations hosting conservative guests they attack women on the street campaigning for McCain.Its the way the left operates throughout the world and its the reason they should be kept in cages and not be put in charge of governments

Oct 17, 2008 - 11:53 am 136. Caedmon:

LuK, very true. It is increasingly obvious that liberal/lefties have a predilection for this sort of thing. However, all it will take is a couple of assaults on conservatives who are lawfully carrying concealed weapons and who lawfully defend themselves with said weapons. Once those incidents are publicized, I bet the violent libbies will settle down a bit. If these pukes begin to realize that they run the risk of drawing deadly force in response, they’ll think twice.

Check out concealed carry laws in your state.

That bunch on the left call themselves americans, Ha Americans are tollerent of others we don’t surpress others opinions. They are all a bunch of closet communists, God help if you say something about their great OBOMA what a bunch of bullshit. Let them riot if they lose I got something for um. We know how to handle that kind of thing down here in the south. Ever notice when they riot and burn stuff its mostly in the big city or in their own neiborhoods the know where they can do that shit and where not to. Ya I wish that had been my wife she would have kicked his ass. No cops needed just EMS for that dumb bastard.

Well up here in occupied territory, Seattle (dead white guy) Washington, I have a “We’re Screwed 2008″ and an “OBAMA SUCKS” bumper sticker.

Based on the reactions I get from the “open minded” socialist motorists here, you would think it were a hate crime. I have people flipping me off, dropping their windows at 60 mPH sticking their heads, shoulders and chest out of to give me the double number 1 sign… I just laugh hysterically, give them the wah wah crybaby gesture before I gesture the BJ motion.

These people become UNHINGED!

No, issues yet but when I eat downtown I make sure I park where I am only a few steps away. I have noticed a few people stop look around and they see me stand up while looking at them. I am 6′8″ just north of 300 pounds with a shaved head the liberal JA’s seem to change their minds as to doing something.

Cops shake their head when they see it and smile when I’m parking.

I love agitating these people.

PS don’t visit here, the people suck, most of the restaurants have MAJOR sanitation issues and it is a sanctuary city.

This low-life of a guy is not the typical Obama voter. Just as much as the hate-mongering guy yelling “KILL HIM” at a Palin rally isn’t the typical McCain voter.

Step back a little.
First of all, this attack is an atrocity. It is a really cowardly and stupid act and I hope this guy gets dragged out into the public spotlight and embarrassed, then appropriately punished under the law.

Really, to say that the “leftists” enjoy or condone this sort of act is just baiting and even more dividing. I hang somewhat to the left but I can’t understand why people on both sides, democratic or republican, must cherry pick individuals and then generalize from there. And by the way, I pay taxes, haven’t ever drawn welfare or unemployment and I work everyday.

Really.. step back a little.

This is the poorest example of our right to free speech. People have the right until someone decides they don’t? Its ok to have a strong belief and opinion about your chosen candidate but do you think these examples make the US look honorable to the rest of the world?

We have a system in place that helps us chose the candidates that we freely get the opportunity to vote into in public office or not. But our vote is the method not by beating up someone with an opposing view.

The attack on this women is only the tip of the iceberg! when Obama loses this presidential race, they will be bewildered! They won’t know why. The fact that the mainstream media has pumped Obama up, and fabricated the numbers will not get him elected. We will or will not elect him, not the media after all is said and done. Fast forward to Nov. 4th. the votes are counted, people are in the streets, out shopping, coming and going from work, driving down the freeway, and the results come in – –McCain won! THERE WILL BE SUCH UNBELIEF, UTTER MADNESS AT THE ELECTION RESULTS, THERE WON’T BE TIME FOR ANY KIND OF RECOUNT —- THE RIOTS WILL BEGIN——EVERYWHERE—–ON THE STREETS, AT WORK, IN THEIR CARS ———-

Is there that much ignorance among Democratic voters that they think if you don’t vote for Obama you are racist? whew… how narrow minded can one be. So what about the blacks that are also voting for mccain, are they racist too? I have heard and read much about democrates responding violently towards towards anyone for sharing in anyway about voting macain, but never of a macain supporter doing anything to a democrate. does that tell you something about one of the differences in the party? I think so.

Oct 17, 2008 - 12:03 pm 148. Russell:

This is symptomatic of the left. They are hateful and intolerant of anyone who doesn’t see it the way they do. The democrat party is now full fascist. They want to quell free dissenting speech and don’t care what tactics are used. We should be very worried about where we are headed.

Oct 17, 2008 - 12:03 pm 149. crazy Liberals:

Obviously, the mistake of one person reflects every single liberal leaning person, just as the keating 5 scandal describes every conservative that is out there…

give it up republicans – you’re 6 years of screw ups is this result. people are pissed that your policies which benefit the rich while robbing the poor are the reason this guy went off the deep end. none the less, it doesn’t describe all liberals.

on top of that, 3 supporters of obama were attacked yesterday by a gang of palin/mccain supporters. now should i make the sweeping generalization that all mccain/palin supporters are this way? no! that’s incredibly desperate and completely senile.

some people aren’t as smart as you and i. some people aren’t as civilized – see where I am going?

i’m glad that conservatives are now at least accepting McCain – the most left leaning right winger you’ll find out of them all. People always seem to think doomsday at elections but forget that their are other parties (not just the two) that seem to keep our country in some sortof balance.

this countries politics is a rubber band. you’ll always get people blaming it on the other side, as admitting guilt in politics is suicide. however, usually the problems are bi-partisan and mistakes are made on both sides. if republicans and democrats could grow up and stop acting so childish, we might make some real traction. this is why the EU looks at us stupified!

european politicians are just as filthy as americans (and by the way both mccain and obama are filthy pigs/two evils) but somehow they work together for their constituencies rather than achieve nothing as it means suicide for their offices.

whoever wins the elections needs to get people to work together and for the good of the country rather than the lobbyists out there and increase our perception to the world outside of america, as the rest of the world only sees a young country, who’s people or politics haven’t grown up yet.

think about that for a while… everybody has made mistakes – yet he who is without judgement cast the first stone.

No one’s going to think twice about kicking me into next week if they want to. So, no bumper stickers on my car, no t-shirts. Am I a coward? Maybe, but I have a 2-year-old kid to think about, so broken bones are really not an option for me. Otherwise, I’d be glad to take one for McCain. He’s had every bone in his body broken for his loyalty to America. I wish I could pay him back with more than just my vote. Go McCain/Palin!!

What does any of that have to do with mccain? The housing crisis which started are hard financial mess was due to the Democrat support of deregulation of Fannie and Freddie… the nerve of Obama to strike the fear into seniors with Mediscare— That is how desparate he is. How about the polls.. McCain is up by 2 now according to survey USA in FL!!! May the media treat this fairly

Really! I’m amazed some of you yahoo’s actually know how to use a computer! Do you call it Nucular Power, too?

Hate is going both ways, and clearly this is a country up in arms, figuratively, and apparently, frighteningly enough, literally.

Socialism has been in effect since The New Deal, reddies, so get over it. Taxation is what this country has always used to ‘redistribute wealth’ largely serving the interests of the very wealthy corporate interests along the way. Socialism is what Bush ‘authored’ and a bipartisan congress agreed to for the sake of the BANKS! Now there’s a redistribution of wealth!

What really frightens me is how few of you right-wingnut geniuses can say anything other than what your party tells you.

It’s easy to call the victims whiners, isn’t it??? Well, then – if you righties are so dang happy with you party and it’s accomplishments thus far – then you must be PRO-Recession, Pro-Oil-making-record-profits while the rest of us take it up the a* at the pump, and Pro-mass poverty, because that is the era we find ourselves in, thanks to your granduer-deluded old party.

Personally, I am more a libertarian than anything else – but you guys, so desperate to find wrongdoing that vilifies the left – you’re bleating sheep.

That guy who ‘allegedly’ assaulted the McCain-er is in all likelihood a great blithering idiot, and a major-league a-hole. But at least he is not advocating stockpiling arms for the ‘Great Race War’ that an Obama victory will, as you seem to ‘think’, doom us to.

Watch out for those ‘animals’, now, you rabid champions of ignorance!

Oct 17, 2008 - 12:07 pm 160. \Mary Ann:

This does not shock me at all. As a conservative for the past 20 years (I am 56 years old), I have, since my “conversion” to conservatism been riduculed, screamed at, hit at, called hateful, greedy (even though my husband and I give a large portion of our meager hard-earned salary to charity and the rest of my family, who have inherited 6 figures, give nothing)and many other unsavory names by my family if I in any way put forth a position that differs from theirs. So if I want to be around family I must be silent as they loudly proclaim their positions in order to avoid a “riot”. I have learned that their insecurity over their inability to discuss the “real” issues seems to be at the root of their hostility. I pity their inability to grasp the “truth” about life. I fear for our country because of the arrogant ignorance of the apparent liberal majority.

Oct 17, 2008 - 12:09 pm 161. Jerry:

Rick, wake up….Have you not noticed the media is not even trying to hide the bias any longer. Obama has outspent McCain almost two to one in campain money (yep lied about that one too huh?)
Rick must have forgotten (or never knew) this country was founded as a republic. Rights of the individual, not responsibilities that Obama and his ilk are promoting.
I don’t wish to redistribute my income to anyone. I earned it with my sweat. I do not want single payor health care, I spent time in a VA hospital.. go there spend a few days and see if that is that type of system you want.
Any socialist liberal who dreams of a utopian society needs to wake up before the real revolution begins again. Rick start checking your facts somewhere other than moveon.org and maybe just maybe you might find your man is no different big government spending liberal.

Obama and his socialist democrats believe any action – no matter how repugnant to the U.S. Constitution – is justified in their repression of any opposition the socialist democrats’ messiah.

Obama is the greatest threat to the U.S. Constitution, America’s economic survival and the doctrines of democracy that we have witnessed since the likes of Joseph Stalin or Adolf Hitler.

Laura T, sorry but you’re a racist idiot. Do your homework before you speak. First of all there is significant dispute over Obama’s birth record. He has yet to produce a valid copy proving he was born in Hawaii. His grandmother contends she was present at his birth – IN KENYA.
Second, the main male in his early life was not his grandfather – it was Frank Davis (read Obama’s book) who was a communist and an admitted child molester.
Third, check the facts on the Keating 5 history… McCain was absolved (you might want a dictionary to help you with that word)
Fourth, G. Gordon Liddy didn’t bomb the Pentagon.
Fifth, I don’t care of you are light skin, bright skin, brown skin or dark skin, slapping accusations on someone because of their skin color is racist. I am not voting for Obama not because he is black but because of the CONTENT OF HIS CHARACTER – or in this case the appalling lack of it. If you want to place labels on me then you do so at your own foolish peril because you are allowing your racism to blind you to the blatant warnings that our country is heading for disaster. If you think that he truly has this country’s interests at heart you are a fool. Mao was a “community organizer” also. Go research history and find out how well that worked out for China.
The only sentence you got right was that “we Americans have been dumbed down” – though I’m not sure…is it an oxymoron to follow PERIOD with 2 exclamation mark?

Are you kidding me? Who do you think you convinced with that BS sob story? If you and your husband both work full-time and you still don’t have enough money to buy groceries I would suggest starting to learn to live without things like cable and a cell phone. Possibly sell your SUV? Were you one of those people that helped create our financial mess by being given a loan you couldn’t afford?
My dad died when I was two and mom raised SIX kids BY HERSELF! She had FOUR jobs and ALL of us delivered newspapers twice a day! We NEVER had to be on food stamps or any kind of government assistance! We did however learn to like powdered milk, rice, crackers, and bologna. Take some freaking responsibility for yourself or ask your church for charity. There are food banks out there for a reason!
Whether or not you are a liberal is beside the point, I could care less if you werea dyed-in-the-wool conservative! You can make it work if you really want to, stop try ing to live above your means and you’d be suprised at what you can learn to live without!

An overpowering, out of control, insanely enraged 65 year old grandmother and her close associates……..(the guy did have a black eye hehehe) Just not sure you can attribute it to the 65 year old granny or her close associates.

Doesn’t shock me either. I live in a fairly rural area in California outside Los Angeles and recently went to the local Republican office and picked up 10 McCain/Palin signs and posted them at local off ramps and alongside the highway. Within two days they were all ripped down.
The local democrats seem bent on stifling others opinions and now, in the case of Joe the Plumber, are bent on personal destruction of all that oppose them.
Scary times in the politics of today.

The attack on this women is only the tip of the iceberg! when Obama loses this presidential race, they will be bewildered! They won’t know why. The fact that the mainstream media has pumped Obama up, and fabricated the numbers will not get him elected. We will or will not elect him, not the media after all is said and done. Fast forward to Nov. 4th. the votes are counted, people are in the streets, out shopping, coming and going from work, driving down the freeway, and the results come in – –McCain won! There will be such unbelief, Utter madness over the election results, there won’t be time to have a recount —- The riots will begin, everywhere, on the streets, in their cars, at work, in your neighborhoods, hundreds of thousands of P_SSED OFF voters wanting to take it out on anyone and everyone, they won’t know who you voted for, if your white then you must have voted McCain, (no racism there). Remember San Francisco ‘Can we all just get along’! We’ll see! How many more days until the election? November 4th, let the countdown begin!

How can you live with yourselves – so much hate/racism with comments like these:

“Here in Baltimore the natives are already getting restless and agitated – what natives are you referring to?” african americans?

“Pray for bad weather on election day. It will mean that the people who work and PAY taxes will get out and vote, while the elitist, whining leftists will wait for their bus ride and cry because their welfare check doesn’t cover their fare.” – i’m guessing another reference to tax paying african americans

“WORK HARDER AMERICA , SOMEONE ON WELFARE IS DEPENDING ON YOU!” – who’s that someone?

“Up here in Canada we put people who practise free expression on trial. We have Human Rights Tribunals that determine who should be allowed free speech and who should be silenced. We are more enlightened here, and we are hoping that Obama can bring this type of enlightenment to your part of the woods.” – distorted for sure…

“Liberal democrats just breed violence. Such angry people, a long way from the peace and love image they would like to portray! And so narrow minded! If you don’t agree with their view they will beat you down with your own sign. . . sigh” – so the above comments aren’t violent? these are your comments! must’ve forgotten what you said!

“I’m votin Demokrat becuse I wus edumkated at a publick sckrool. I lik da NEA!” – you’re not looking too good…

“The Obama campaign is the dirtiest and most racist in history” – yeah and so are your comments… sounds pretty ELITIST to me

“How do you spell Nazi in modern times? Simple. P-R-O-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E.” – god, this is pathetic

“We NOW know more about “Joe the Plumber” than we have yet to know about B. Hussein Obama,” – Lets tie Obama to terrorism once more! Remember Barrack translates to ‘That One’ and Hussein was the dictator of Iraq that we went and waged war with based on the fact that there were WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION… WHERE ARE THESE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION? IS IT THE REPUBLICAN AGENDA?

“The liberals have been at the very bottom of dividing this country because their plan is to destroy us from within. United we stand, divided we fall is not just a bumper sticker, it’s the truth and the communists (liberals) in this country are determined to take us down. DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN. DO NOT VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS THIS YEAR.” – Sweeping generalizations point to your stupidity. I love you!

“Think it’s bad now? If Obama is elected his storm troopers will terrorize anyone who criticises his policies. Want to spend four years being called a “racist” for voicing your opinion vote Obama.” – actually in voicing your opinion you are a racist. Thee most racist remark to come out of this campaign was ‘Community Organizer’ – why not just say BLACK

In conclusion, it’s obvious that we are a divided country. On top of that we are a country fascinated by racism, hate and we are all the downfall of it! Regardless of your party, you’re supporting this type of behavior in your country. The values of our parents and grandparents have been shifted toward that of the sensationalist pessimism ingrained by the propagators of media, government and populous society. These values do not value people nor ideas. These traits sound more virus-like than anything else, as the opulence of the great nation begins to fade and fade fast. Maybe it is time to divide these ‘un-united’ states.

Oct 17, 2008 - 12:31 pm 187. Bryan:

It’s only a matter of time, but Barrack will abandon his wife and kids, like all black men do (including his own father), so they can live off of welfare. Barrack will eventually quit his job at the White House as President and start a drinking binge, probably some dope too [he's already done it, he admitted such in his biography], and hang around his terroristic loser friends.

So, don’t worry if he gets elected… by the statistical trends of black men, he’d be unable to tough it out and be a real man anyway.

Doesn’t surprise me. As a New Yorker, I wore my Bush/Cheney pin all over New York City, mostly to see what kind of reaction it got. I remember two old women on the subway who started heckling me — me, a 6 foot, 220 pound guy built like a hockey player — because I had the audacity to wear such a pin in a blue state.

I answered them politely on the issues, telling them I was in NYC on 9-11, and national security is my central voting litmus test. And I also told them I’d be thinking about them on Election Night, and I would laugh at them. I repeated myself: “I will think about this on Election Night, and I will laugh at you.”

And I did.

To the woman attacked — I hope she recovers, but undoubtedly she will be emotionally hurt in the sense that this is what Obama and other PC thugs have done to the country and our political system: people can’t disagree for fear of being labeled racist, etc. I do hope in the privacy of the voting booth, Americans too afraid to publicly support McCain will do so where it counts.

Adding more government intervention programs does not raise those who are down, but keeps them there. There are private programs that can help with hunger and that do a much better job.

175 Terry,

You are legend in your own mind. I’m not uninformed and I support the changes Obama proposes. You would have to be an idiot to look around and not see that it has hit the fan. You would also have to be an idiot if you didn’t put some if not most of the blame on policies established by those in power over the last 8 years. I can’t understand why anyone would support the candidate that proposes not changing the direction of this country such as McCain. McCain is so out of touch it’s really quite breath taking. His proposal to prop up over inflated housing prices to stabilize the economy is nonsense and to be honest I can’t understand why he is not being called out on it. It’s called supply and demand and econ 101 covers the topic pretty well. But I guess the fact that I have a masters in econ makes me an elitist and someone not to be taken seriously by really smart informed guys like you. By the way reading only the national review and the like does not make you well informed it only makes you well in formed on the GOP talking points. Try instead reading all points of veiw and make your own you puppet!

I work every morning at the local McCain/Palin office. Lately there have been more and more “moms” coming in for signs, stickers or to volunteer. These are people who, in some cases, never voted before (and are a group the pollsters don’t count on). They are usually quite tentative about taking home signs and stickers, enquiring if we had heard any stories in regards to signs. They are so fired up to vote this year, yet fear showing it. We live in a generally quiet suburban area and these ladies aren’t afraid about losing the free platic signs, they are afraid of violence because of the signs.

Why is that?

But, what more would you expect from a liberal public school education.

Yea this is almost as bad as the Strongsville supporters calling Obama a terrorist and to kill him which WAS caught on camera, and the 2 obama supporters in the crowd who were kicked and punched by 12 people. There was a case study already done and there have been more violent attacks against Obama supporters as well as more merchandise of Obama’s being stolen. That is despicable and should not be tolerated. I honestly believe that McCain’s true self is not like this but is driven by his campaign to act the way he has and as for Palin she just encourages hatred, division and stupidity. Seriously NewHampshire in the great NorthWest and yelling at your own supporters. Bad judgment on McCain’s campaign but if John stayed true to the way he was he would have been a LOT better off.

If you are discontent with life, it’s probably your life that has made you that way, not some other person you’ve never met… look in the mirror, do you really like what you see because most of what I see on this message board is seething, angry, bitter, resentful, and often racist hatred and bigotry… yet in all this discussion I can’t see anyone who has talked about the economy or healthcare… most of you wouldn’t know the difference between an HMO and a CDO… like I said, put your bitterness aside for a bit, go off and read, alot!!!

and for the record, I’m supporting McCain..

I do not care for republicans all that much either, but I would rather live a dull life of dealing with them, rather than have to sleep with my gun in case some psycho wants to attack my family at night. There are too many crazies in this country, and they all vote democrat. there are stupid people that vote republican, but at least they are not crazy.
BTW, yes the letters in front of my name are the real deal. I do what I do with pride and will protect this country from crazies both foreign and domestic… seems we have a lot domestic these days.

The threats of violence if Obama loses speak volumes. This violent confrontation has been brewing gradually since the mid-sixties. I hope I am still around when it happens.

At this point, there can be no reconcillation between traditional American values and the objectives of the angry left – NONE whatsoever. We are irrevocally divided as a nation. Eventually, the “silent majority” will speak with a roar – and long overdue, in my opinion.

Oct 17, 2008 - 1:10 pm 241. Laura T.:

African Americans are not interested in a free hand out, and they certainly will not be rioting in the streets if Senator Obama should lose this election. Unfortunately, that’s what John McCain and his running mate Sarah Palin have done here. It’s expected in campaign rallies to talk about policy differences, but not about character assasination of your opponent. Because you don’t understand the economy and don’t have a plan, that doesn’t justify planting additional fear in your supporters beside what’s already narrow mindedly there making implications that he’s unpatriotic because his middle name is Hussein and not Walker or William, and because he’s an African American not a Muslim. This is the insanity that the GOP is marketing. Now to say okay I think he’s inexperienced, and hasn’t had enough time in the Senate is a rational thought. Not all people who support Senator Obama are lunatics and non-thinkers. Not all people who support Senator John McCain are gun carrying racist, any excuse will do lunatics either. I’m beginning to understand that no matter what explanation Senator Obama has about his association with Ayers and Rezko, there will be those who are appalled at an African American running for the highest office in the land. John McCain is a White man. To many in this country he can do no wrong and that’s just the way things have been for generations. His association with Haggee or Parsely not to mention G.Gordon Liddy should just be overlooked. Now many caucasians have been taught to hate because of the color of one’s skin, and they therefore believe a person who doesn’t look like them are out to hurt them in some way. It’s unfortunate but true because as an African American many of us were taught the history of slavery and what was done to us and by whom. So that hurt and anger and not trusting of caucasians in general for our own protection has come up through the generations just as the feeling of superiority and the teaching that African Americans are less than and shouldn’t have the same rights and priviledges by some caucasians. I am not making excuses for any act of violence against another person be they of any nationality. For you gun owners who are getting your ammunition ready, it’s not necessary because no one wants to die over an election and it is untrue that African Americans will attack if Senator Obama doesn’t win. This may come as a shock to some of you, but African Americans are not animals, just as all Caucasians are not racist. I believe in difference of opinions. It’s unfortunate that some caucasians have been in hostile environments where they felt they were unable to have a difference of opinion without suffering the wrath of Senator McCain’s opponent’s supporters. And vice versa. Many Obama supporters do not feel comfortable with showing their support because of the same. I will not put an Obama Supporter sticker on my car or a banner in my yard for many of the reasons I have read on this comment section. Some of you should stop listening to the lies that these conservative AM radio talk show host proclaim every morning. Some saying he’s a Muslim, he doesn’t have a legal birth certificate and wasn’t born here. These are all LIES. This man is a sitting US Senator. Have you thought about that. So what would that make John McCain, or Joe Lieberman, or Lindsay Grahm. All of these me work together and have to make decisions together. Are they now guilty by association. And for the one that said Senator Obama never did anything in the Senate across the aisle, well just another untrue. he worked with Senator Lugar a Republican. Just because someones says it so doesn’t make it the truth. On the otherside of the spectrum, African American talk radio doesn’t like the onesidedness of the media in reporting both candidate’s history. I Senator Obama loves this country and wants to help the best way he knows how. Now for John McCain supporters many of you feel the Republican way is the best in spite of the condition this country is now in from the last 8 yrs. of George Bush’s presidency. I agree that Pelosi, Reid, and many others didn’t do a great job either so there’s plenty of blame to go around. Senator Obama has great respect for all people even those who hate his guts because of the color of his skin. It’s not that John McCain isn’t admired for his sacrifice in war. We have many POWs who risked their lives for this country, so our gratitude as well to them. Many of them were also African American. There are many documented legitimate stories of bravery that have built this country. We are all American and nobody is looking for a hand out. Unfortunately color has nothing to do with the fact many Americans are now needing a hand up. My prayer is this; If Senator McCain wins, I hope he will really pay attention to helping the middle class families get back into their homes and be financially solvent, and help the American families with decent healthcare. I hope he really will try to understand what is going on with many Americans right now and not just say anything because he feels he deserves to be president because of his heroism. If Senator Obama should win, my prayer for him is this: Reassure gun owners that their guns are safe, and he only wishes to get them out of the hands of criminals, and gang members. Also, find a way to balance out the taxing for those making $250,000 or more so they will not feel as if they are being taken advantage of. My last post showed my anger because inspite of everything, I love this country. As an African American it may surprise many who are of other persuasions, but many African Americans are morally conservative about premarital sex and abortion inspite of the fact the media portrays otherwise. Many voted for Bush because of his Faith Based Program. We too care about the condition of this country and how it will be for our children. Not all criminals, perverts, and wackaloos are of one color. I hope as Americans our best come out not our worst.

God bless America

They are the worst of what America has ever been. Leftist men attacking conservative women? This is where the left has gone to. When there is a mob demonstrating on the streets, and cars are being set aflame, you already know it is a leftist protest. You KNOW it. That is how it is now. It used to be that such acts would be due to a march of the Klan or somesuch. Now it is the rank and file… everyday leftist democrat.

They have sold their souls for government hand outs… and nobody… and I mean NOBODY will be allowed to stop the handouts… or there is blood.

If Obama loses and its very possible he will these rallys will turn ugly in a heartbeat .Make no mistake there will be violence
this will only prove that Obama supporters (followers) don`t really believe in democracy….

An unsubstantial story here reflects the overall unsubstantial campaigns being run by both parties. The fact that we give credence and political relevance to stories like these–regardless of the individual being attacked–just shows how far our compassion for humanity has dwindled. Someone is physically attacked by a crazed individual and we use it as a megaphone to condemn the masses for their political views. It’s a sad state of affairs to be sure.

I saw a video recently of a McCain/Palin group that was verbally abused by New Yorkers in Manhattan. Seems like NY would be the conservative capital of the US, given that it is the center of the business world. Too bad, so sad that it isn’t.

Oct 17, 2008 - 1:14 pm 250. Atypical Liberal:

Dear Republicans,

You CAN’T win this election with no plans – just look at the debates McCain didn’t offer any solutions. Obviously, he just wants to deepen the pockets of large corporations (his words – tax breaks for oil co’s with hopes to cascade cheaper prices down to us). He wants healthcare to be competitive, forcing its unravel (chamber of commerce).

Regardless, I don’t hate any of you guys or will make any sweeping generalizations about if you’re a racist or any of that crap. I won’t hit any of your women (or men for that matter lol). Frankly, I voted via absentee and I’m proud of that I participated in the process (have to travel for work). Besides, if McCain wins, he’s a total modern patriot and I respect that. He’s worked with everybody and I can’t say I agree on all his policies or know what a lot of them are.

I guess I’m more liberal, but here is what I believe or maybe I should say I be believing so that categorizes me correctly:

I believe in the golden rule – do unto others as they would to you. I live in Chicago and sometimes I give money to bums and sometimes I see the same bums and am like why is that guy such a wastoid. I don’t like war in general, but do believe that it is a necessary evil. I have friends in Iraq and they don’t support the war. My bf is in the Navy and has stated to me that more 4 star generals have quit under this president than any other, but that doesn’t reflect any one other than Bush, which by the way I believe is a miserable failure. However, I think he’s got some admirable qualities. You can fail and i’ll still like you is a belief.

The economy sucks for everyone. I’m 29 and have a 401k and some mutual funds and i looked once last week and am scared to look again. If you really read between the lines, it’s our bipartisan system that has caused this problem through multitudes of fumbles, rather than one party. I believe in seeing the forest through the trees rather than just the trees. I can’t understand why Joe the Plumber complained because Obama’s tax plan would help him if you do unbiased math. Oh and by the way, my bf is a republican. We debate at home and we never come to an agreement except to disagree. Relationships require compromise but this actually leads to a very healthy sex life.

My brother is gay and I think we share the same beliefs on the gay marriage thing: gays shouldn’t marry, but a civil union granting them the same rights is fine and dandy. Besides, only God can determine their holy destination. I believe the underlying message Jesus brought to the world was love man and embrace his mistakes for they are all our own. I think the bible is outdated, but also think it allows for interpretation – again! I think the constitution is outdated as well.

I own guns but don’t shoot often. It’s powerful and fun to shoot pop cans. I have a bi-racial niece and 2 nephews. Now, their fathers are losers but the kids they helped create are magnificent and will surely make an impression upon the world.

Two of my best friends in the world are republicans and we disagree a lot, but we drink together, dine together and share a ton of the same views. I’m fiscally responsible. My student loans are almost paid off and I don’t think I live beyond my means, but I am comfortable. I had to pay my sister’s mortgage cause she was one of those subprime people that the world is talking about. However, she had a string of bad luck and now she’s back on her feet!

I guess i’m a bad liberal. I voted for Obama because I really feel connected to him and believe the democratic process has more sides than that of the president. But I do agree, congress is lazy! Pelosi sucks. I think the key is coming together. I could be wrong once again…

anyways, those are my beliefs! not all liberals, but sweeping generalizations are seldom accurate.

if you read my second blog (233) you’ll see I’m also voting McCain.. my point is not about party but about substance and particularly about some of the incredibly ignorant, quite frightening things I’m reading on this blog.. unabashed racism, even paranoia about needing to get guns to fend off liberals….

as you’ll have no doubt learned from your travels, as I have, that one of the great things in life is to learn about others, their culture, appreciate their lives, food etc… not be scared of it and certainly not ridicule or hate it… I believe in small government, low taxes and individual responsibility, but I’m also sickened by this undercurrent of “you’re different so I hate you”….. this paranoia comes from lack of exposure to other people and their lives and cultures…..

and like I said, it gives us Republicans, who truly believe in small government and low taxes, a very bad name

These events bring to mind “The Night of the Long Knives” in the 1930’s when Hitler rose to power and his brown shirts spread out throughout the country assaulting and murdering the opposition.

Our country is at a cross-roads and regardless of the claims of racism, this is where Obama’s associations comes into play. His relationship with Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam give a clear indication of where this is going. If he wins, this country with a “super majority” of democrats in the congress will be on a road to changing everything that has made this country great.

What’s that quote he gave about his earlier years? Oh, now I remember… “Guilty as sin, free as a bird, it’s a great country.” and then their is Gore with his “green doublespeak”.

PAswingvoter,

The people who called the little girl racist were other 8-year-olds. Had a school official engaged in such behavior, I would expect his termination from employment as well as a nice, fat Section 1983 suit against the school system. Nothing to see here, though. Grownups who engage in this sort of behavior are scum, but these were other kids. Some of them will grow out of this phase of launching ad hominem attacks based on a difference of political opinion, and some will simply remain liberals.

By the way, Obama will win. I’ve resigned myself to this. Look forward to any opposition to his policies being treated as racism by the media and his surrogates. I figured that Clinton was enough of a political animal to not push us too far left when he won in 1992, but Obama is different. He and his surrogates have that race card to play at will. You were allowed to disagree with Clinton. You were allowed to disagree with Carter. You will not be allowed to disagree with the One.

The coming conflict over the election will be a turning point in the US. When and if Obama wins this election, there will be a revolt – not because a black man won, but because America as we know it will be no more-
If McCain wins there will be riots in the streets, school yards, work places, colleges, cities, in the country, all over this nation – because if he doesn’t win, it’s because all the white folks are racist,
not because he will have stolen the White House, our democracy, and turn this into a 3rd world country.

In either case-it’s coming- either way we cannot let it stand-there has only been a few times in the history of this nation that there have been times like these. Those wars were for our freedom!
It is time to put on our armor, lock and load, stand up, get up, and defend this country from socialism! Are we ready? Do we have the fortitude? Or are we too comfy and cozy.
See, what the white democrats don’t realize is that they too will be in the line of fire if the black folks lose the election.

Can someone please explain to me why, according to Obama, his mom spent her last months in a hospital bed arguing with the insurance company for coverage when:

Her son is a Harvard Law grad lawyer?

He says she was 53, so he would have been 36 at the time.

If I was a lawyer and my Mom was in that situation, I’d go to hell and back fighting an insurance company. Why didn’t he? He had time to be ACORN’s lawyer, but didn’t have the time or interest to help his mom?

If he wouldn’t help his mom on her death bed, why do you think he cares about you?

Throughout history liberals have always gone the violent route and this particular instance is no different.

Like one of the earlier posters said about Ayers and his gleeful joy of getting away with crimes in his past, why is this being mentioned by the press to help inform voters and let them decide about Obama and the company he has kept.

God has His own plan for us. Yes, each and everyone one of us, you can’t escape that. He knows your heart. Sorry but HE does. That may offend some; so take it up with GOD. Here’s the way I believe. I’d rather live in this world and believe there is a GOD and die and find out there isn’t. Than live in this world NOT believing in GOD to die and find out there is….your choice. Obama’s policies? He may share the wealth. But what is wealth to Obama compared to the people who are left behind. Don’t be surprised if it comes to around $40,000 a year for the ‘rich ‘ in his eyes. So dog gone it…get out there and work…so I can get my share of wealth from you. FOOLS wake up. You still have a chance to keep most of your money and your soul.

Oct 17, 2008 - 1:58 pm 319. Hookmon:

dom801 #88

I am sorry for your situation but I am having trouble with your statments about voting for McCain in 200O primary and a Republican Mayor…plus your statement about being “educated” interests me as well…have you educated yourself on all aspects of Obama’s alliances, not the same as associations. Everyone is cutting costs because of this financial problem with the Freddies and Fannies of the world. Your boy Obama was the #2 recipient for campaign contributions…behind Dodd. You want change…well according to the Wall Street Journal today, here are the changes you can expect:

If the current polls hold, Barack Obama will win the White House on November 4 and Democrats will consolidate their Congressional majorities, probably with a filibuster-proof Senate or very close to it. Without the ability to filibuster, the Senate would become like the House, able to pass whatever the majority wants.

Though we doubt most Americans realize it, this would be one of the most profound political and ideological shifts in U.S. history. Liberals would dominate the entire government in a way they haven’t since 1965, or 1933. In other words, the election would mark the restoration of the activist government that fell out of public favor in the 1970s. If the U.S. really is entering a period of unchecked left-wing ascendancy, Americans at least ought to understand what they will be getting, especially with the media cheering it all on.

The nearby table shows the major bills that passed the House this year or last before being stopped by the Senate minority. Keep in mind that the most important power of the filibuster is to shape legislation, not merely to block it. The threat of 41 committed Senators can cause the House to modify its desires even before legislation comes to a vote. Without that restraining power, all of the following have very good chances of becoming law in 2009 or 2010.

- Medicare for all. When HillaryCare cratered in 1994, the Democrats concluded they had overreached, so they carved up the old agenda into smaller incremental steps, such as Schip for children. A strongly Democratic Congress is now likely to lay the final flagstones on the path to government-run health insurance from cradle to grave.

Mr. Obama wants to build a public insurance program, modeled after Medicare and open to everyone of any income. According to the Lewin Group, the gold standard of health policy analysis, the Obama plan would shift between 32 million and 52 million from private coverage to the huge new entitlement. Like Medicare or the Canadian system, this would never be repealed.

The commitments would start slow, so as not to cause immediate alarm. But as U.S. health-care spending flowed into the default government options, taxes would have to rise or services would be rationed, or both. Single payer is the inevitable next step, as Mr. Obama has already said is his ultimate ideal.

- The business climate. “We have some harsh decisions to make,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi warned recently, speaking about retribution for the financial panic. Look for a replay of the Pecora hearings of the 1930s, with Henry Waxman, John Conyers and Ed Markey sponsoring ritual hangings to further their agenda to control more of the private economy. The financial industry will get an overhaul in any case, but telecom, biotech and drug makers, among many others, can expect to be investigated and face new, more onerous rules. See the “Issues and Legislation” tab on Mr. Waxman’s Web site for a not-so-brief target list.

The danger is that Democrats could cause the economic downturn to last longer than it otherwise will by enacting regulatory overkill like Sarbanes-Oxley. Something more punitive is likely as well, for instance a windfall profits tax on oil, and maybe other industries.

- Union supremacy. One program certain to be given right of way is “card check.” Unions have been in decline for decades, now claiming only 7.4% of the private-sector work force, so Big Labor wants to trash the secret-ballot elections that have been in place since the 1930s. The “Employee Free Choice Act” would convert workplaces into union shops merely by gathering signatures from a majority of employees, which means organizers could strongarm those who opposed such a petition.

The bill also imposes a compulsory arbitration regime that results in an automatic two-year union “contract” after 130 days of failed negotiation. The point is to force businesses to recognize a union whether the workers support it or not. This would be the biggest pro-union shift in the balance of labor-management power since the Wagner Act of 1935.

- Taxes. Taxes will rise substantially, the only question being how high. Mr. Obama would raise the top income, dividend and capital-gains rates for “the rich,” substantially increasing the cost of new investment in the U.S. More radically, he wants to lift or eliminate the cap on income subject to payroll taxes that fund Medicare and Social Security. This would convert what was meant to be a pension insurance program into an overt income redistribution program. It would also impose a probably unrepealable increase in marginal tax rates, and a permanent shift upward in the federal tax share of GDP.

- The green revolution. A tax-and-regulation scheme in the name of climate change is a top left-wing priority. Cap and trade would hand Congress trillions of dollars in new spending from the auction of carbon credits, which it would use to pick winners and losers in the energy business and across the economy. Huge chunks of GDP and millions of jobs would be at the mercy of Congress and a vast new global-warming bureaucracy. Without the GOP votes to help stage a filibuster, Senators from carbon-intensive states would have less ability to temper coastal liberals who answer to the green elites.

- Free speech and voting rights. A liberal supermajority would move quickly to impose procedural advantages that could cement Democratic rule for years to come. One early effort would be national, election-day voter registration. This is a long-time goal of Acorn and others on the “community organizer” left and would make it far easier to stack the voter rolls. The District of Columbia would also get votes in Congress — Democratic, naturally.

Felons may also get the right to vote nationwide, while the Fairness Doctrine is likely to be reimposed either by Congress or the Obama FCC. A major goal of the supermajority left would be to shut down talk radio and other voices of political opposition.

- Special-interest potpourri. Look for the watering down of No Child Left Behind testing standards, as a favor to the National Education Association. The tort bar’s ship would also come in, including limits on arbitration to settle disputes and watering down the 1995 law limiting strike suits. New causes of legal action would be sprinkled throughout most legislation. The anti-antiterror lobby would be rewarded with the end of Guantanamo and military commissions, which probably means trying terrorists in civilian courts. Google and MoveOn.org would get “net neutrality” rules, subjecting the Internet to intrusive regulation for the first time.

It’s always possible that events — such as a recession — would temper some of these ambitions. Republicans also feared the worst in 1993 when Democrats ran the entire government, but it didn’t turn out that way. On the other hand, Bob Dole then had 43 GOP Senators to support a filibuster, and the entire Democratic Party has since moved sharply to the left. Mr. Obama’s agenda is far more liberal than Bill Clinton’s was in 1992, and the Southern Democrats who killed Al Gore’s BTU tax and modified liberal ambitions are long gone.

In both 1933 and 1965, liberal majorities imposed vast expansions of government that have never been repealed, and the current financial panic may give today’s left another pretext to return to those heydays of welfare-state liberalism. Americans voting for “change” should know they may get far more than they ever imagined.

While all parties have some wackos, the left and it’s ideology, based in power seeking over others, is replete with them. These stories about a single person no one can actually verify shouting somethign at a McCain rally pale in comparison to the reality of how the left has been treating McCain, Palin, and even Hillary, to this day. Hate cartoons, attacks day in day out for months. Signs being burned in portland, Palin’s email being hacked, cars with McCain stickers keyed or having windows broken, the gamut. There are decent folks on both sides, but the folks on the left, due to the self superior view required for an ideology which says others judgement should be replaced by theirs and the State’s, attracts these folks wholesale.

There’s a reason riots occur when protestors from the left are involved. I figure my leftist opponents are well meaning but wrong. They figure I am evil..and that this devolves into thuggery is no big step. You merely look at the spittle flecked hate directed from the left every day for the last two terms,in a party known for use of emotion instead of reason, and you see exactly why I would not dare publicly state my support for McCain.

The left tells us all the things I should fear, and the reality is…I fear their supporters more than anything they describe.

The hate and sentiments from both sides of the extreme members of these campaigns should be ashamed of themselves.

I have to say, however, I remain skeptical of this story and will remain so until I see something resembling proof. Right now you have a one-sided account with documentation that deliberately blots out anything that could be used to confirm the story. Unlike the stories covering the Palin rallies, there are no names on the record here. No one putting their reputation up to back up their claims. There is no reason to blot out the arresting officer’s name and badge number unless you’re trying to hide details of this story from being confirmed.

There are nuts on both sides of this election. The comments above prove that. And while there is no excuse for violence, until we have information that can be used to validate this story it’s just a bunch of photos on an internet site.

We can’t hold the other side accountable unless we hold ourselves just as accountable.

I asked why Obama, as a Harvard Law Grad Lawyer, didn’t help his mom when she was in a hospital bed fighting the insurance company.

You said “He wasn’t in office when she was sick.”

Sorry, but that doesn’t make sense, unless one believes only the government can take care of problems.

Both Obama and his wife are lawyers. They are fully capable of helping someone having a dispute with an insurance company. How can you let your mom, dying of cancer, lay there fighting the insurance company. Either Obama isn’t being truthful or he wouldn’t help his mom.

Wow. If this thread is any indication, if Obama does indeed win the election as it appears he well may, then there are a lot of you out there who are going to circle the wagons and start shooting. That’s unfortunate, as it will sabotage any chance this country has of moving forward out of the morass it is currently in.

As to the actions of the man in NYC. He should of course be prosecuted for assault and whatever other crimes he committed. This type of thing has no place in our democracy. It is truly unfortunate that it occurred.

I don’t agree however that you can infer anything from one isolated incident. That defies logic. Yes, the guy who committed assault is a criminal. But he was not acting in any organized way, as I understand it, and therefore it is an individual act and wrong to paint all Obama supporters with this brush. I’m under no illusion that you all will accept this obvious bit of factual logic however. Feel free to resume your gun fantasies and fear-mongering now.

Obama will never be my President anyway, he’s too inexperienced to be commander in chief. He needs to get more experience under his belt before taking on this type of responsibility. John McCain will be a great President. He has the experience and the wisdom, oh and he won’t raise our taxes, no one needs their taxes raised. Obama is dangerous, untrusworthy, and has too many ties to terrorist.

There was a time that we as Americans could stand shoulder to shoulder and disagree on issues but remain united as a people. Unfortunately, the far left, the media and the legion of Obama foot soldiers following their great leaders words are now “getting in your face” and have determined that now is the time for them to “change” our country into the socialist mecca that they have dreamed about.

This has truly become a very scary time in history. America is in a fight for her very survival and there are still voters who are “undecided” because they can’t get over how much more “photogenic” and charismatic Obama is than McCain. I hope that we are not on the brink of widespread violence, but I think the earlier post regarding Obama’s tactics in Kenya have a very familiar ring of truth.

Either way, this is going to be an election like we have never had before. Hope we still recognize the country after its over.

The news report that secret service investigation that they found no truth that Sara Palin refused to stop her mob from yelling “Kill Him” is false. Remember the secret service works for George Bush and they have a vested interest in denying that it occured. I know someone who knows someone that was there and they assured me that it did happen. If it is reported on MSNBC it must be true. Palin stood there and encouraged them. George Bush is probably responsible for their actions. He was personally behind it. Also the man in this story was probably a republican planted by McCain to make President elect Obama look bad. Remember it is not the Democrates who do sneaky things like it, only Republicans.

Oct 17, 2008 – 10:39 am

First, you’re a troll. Second, the Secret Service is part of the Treasury Department, not the Whitehouse. Third, each party’s presidential and vice-presidential candidate gets Secret Service protection until after the election, then the President-elect and Vice-President-elect continue to receive it.

Obama might say he won’t raise your taxes. And technically, maybe he won’t. He won’t have to do anything in order for your taxes to go up. All he and the Democrat congress have to do is let the Bush tax cuts expire and EVERYONE’s taxes will go up. But TECHNICALLY Obama won’t have raised your taxes.

Well folks,

The only other time, in somewhat recent history when a nation’s wealth was distributed so one sidedly was in France just before the French Revolution.

Now today in the US, 3% of the whole population controls 50% of the whole country’s wealth. Do not think for one second that this 3% of the population is not working overtime to get the rest of it. This far out strips pre- revolutionary France.

You want true violence think French Revolution….for those 45% of you who have not dropped out of high school
remember a whole lot of royalty meet with a quick violent end.

If you have not seen Hotel Rowanda, it is a great illustration of gang violence incided by talk radio against an easily identified group.

So exercising your right to express your opinion, id’s you for the release of a lot of frustration on both sides.

If the election is anything like “Hell Night” or Devil Night (or what ever it’s called) we might get burned down regardless.

If B.O. doesn’t win the wrath of the low lives will be kindles and stuff is going to burn, people will be dragged out of their cars and beat to death, et al.

If B.O. wins the euphoria of victory will overtake the low lives. Total abandonment any sense of right or wrong will ignite the victors to burn and destroy what ever they please. A sense of entitlement will drive the crowds whose chant will be, “Baby it was about time and we are due the celebration, besides the insurance companies will cover the cost”.

On another note, look for “Social Justice” to visit the prisons. All that is needed to create a prison population that represents the proper ratio of people of color and whites is an executive order.

Pardons to all those folks who due to no fault of their own ended up in jail. It’s everybody else’s fault they had to turn to crime after all.

So, get those poor souls out of there and give them the benefit of redistributed wealth. Those greedy rich folks that don’t need and should never be allowed to have that much money are going to pay for their lack of sensitivity once and for all. Hey, Hillary thinks so and was willing to say as much in public.

Tell me what obstacle will prevent them from taking what they have panted for all these years?

The violence in this election season is beyond imagination in a free country. It has been promoted by Senator Obama himself by telling folks to “get in their faces”, some people take that type of talk literally and some take it seriously. We are at a point in our nation— socialism or capitalism, personally I think it is wrong to tax anyone who has worked hard and earned their monies to give to someone else, the robin hood days are gone, I think these people should be able to give to people with less by donating to charity, if they wish. Looking at the govt today who would want them run this nation, have thy proven they can be trusted to do so, corruption in Fannie Mae, investment markets, really we need to think how and what we want for our future generations and vote accordingly. No one should have to fear putting a sign up anywhere in a free country instead of change, we have fear.

“Paul From Hamburg:

Laura,
A few bits of helpful advice:
1. Find a community college and take an Introduction to Writing course.
2. Purchase, read, and re-read “The Elements of Style” by Strunk and White.
3. Buy a dictionary and look up words you don’t know how to spell.

For the record, some of us have know about ACORN” -

Nice job buddy. You criticize Ms. Laura and then in your first sentence you look like the far right moron you are – some of us have know? I believe you have committed at least 3 cardinal writing sins already. Of the 374 responders on this page, most are Republicans. Of the 374 responders on this page, most think someday they will be wealthy due to the free market trickle down effect. Of the 374 responders on this page, if McCain is elected, not one of you will have any retirement left by the time you hit 65. Of the 374 responders on this page, not one of you will have either social security or medicare when you retire because the Republicans plan on eliminating these entitlement programs. After this happens, perhaps all of you can have a reunion to congratulate yourselves on being sheep….nothing more than meat with eyes.

I will take liberal bias any day of the week. Viva la revolucion, Jay! Obama/Biden in 2008. How’s it feel to actually have a liberal tell you to stick it?

IF YOU CAN VOTE EARLY DO IT AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE SOMEWHERE YOU CAN PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY.

The comments left by the leftist in this comment section are truly some of the most ignorant things I’ve ever read. Jesus our county is in trouble if these idiots vote and put Obama in office. It would take about 10 years before we were in the same shape as Europe, where the tax burden on the working class is astronomical in order to pay for the immigrants who don’t work, where the government has neutered it’s people by taking away their right to protect themselves, where certain groups are not expected to live by the laws of the country and have special laws written for them (IE – Multiple wives for Muslims). God help us if the liberals become a super majority by controlling the congress and the presidency.

260–Sheepish

I live in the Conservative bastion of North Idaho and there has not been a single incident of vandalism against Obama bumper sticker toting cars (knock on wood). If there were, I’m sure we would have heard about it as liberals love to shout out their grievances, much like the tantrum-throwing tot in the stroller.

I agree with Dee 223–it will be slow deliberate anger building after an Obama win and the socialist congress’ erosion of our rights. It might be similar to 1964, where much of LBJ’s Great Society enforcers were voted out in 1966. Or if the liberals have there way and give DC representation, and felons the right to vote, the anger will explode, and then the smug libs who vandalize cars and intimidate old ladies will be dragged screaming from their mansions and welfare apartments alike.

I’ve never seen a leftist protester/hater/screamer who I’ve been afraid of. The only thing that kept me from snapping one in two was the existence of rules and punishment in a civil society. And judging from this election season, civility is dead, and pent up hatreds are bubbling, threatening to boil over the melting pot.

John McCain and Sarah “dingy” Palin want to “throw rocks and hide their hands” and bring up all the negative things about Obama. Hey, John and Sarah what about your hate-mongering ways – calling people terrorists and allowing your supporters to yell things like, “kill Obama” etc. It’s funny that you call for Justice but not for all Americans just Republicans.

It does not surprise me at all. People who ’support’ Obama and ‘the Left’ are physically aggressive since mentally they are unable to win an arguement based upon facts and common sense.

Someone else wrote about stickers on an auto. I did not put on either of my auto’s because I know the sticker would cause some moron to vandalize them with at least a key.

If Obama loves this country so so much why didn’t he enlist in the US Military? He is just a well spoken actor who has embraced his african roots in hopes that he wins the starring role. The man was raised white has he forgotten that? The wise see through his power charade of promises. And as a single mom with a college education earning a decent living I do not want anymore of my tax dollars going to lazy, ignorant lowlife that are on welfare and don’t pay a damm dime to the government. People that even consider a vote for obama are uneducated, followers who can’t think on their own.

Oct 17, 2008 - 3:06 pm 423. Miss T:

I would just like to give advice to people attemping to be witty and sound intelligent. If you can’t spell very well, use spell check before you post. If your grammar would not pass elementary school English, then you should probably keep your comments to yourself. I know some of you are just trying to be controversial and get a rise out of others. I hope you feel better after posting your baseless hate on this board, finally someone will give you ten seconds of their time to see what you have to say.

I think it is really pathetic to call Obama a terrorist or to believe that McCain doesn’t care about people. These people are a product of where they came from, just like you and I. They have different values and ways of looking at the world, but I am not sure why that means they are bad people or that we should hate them. Anyone who “hates” Obama or McCain for the actions of fanatic supporters simply perpetuates the cycle of hate and violence. For someone to suggest that “all” liberals are this way or “all” conservatives are that way is parallel to racism, think about it.

I am sorry for all of you but mostly I am sorry for your children and mine.

I was driving my little VeeDub with a Reagan-Bush bumpersticker years ago when two punks in a junky van lunger at my right rear fender at 3:00AM, screaming “Reagan?! Kill ‘im!” They missed me by half an inch, I’d guess.

So a year later we parked in the Long Beach, Calif, garage at the ferry jump-off point for Catalina Island, it was all the honeymoon I could afford. Upon our return I found the windows smashed and the radio stolen and the parking building guard said….

“That’s what you get when you leave a car with a Republican bumpersticker in a Democratic neighborhood. There were much better cars to smash and radios to steal, but you idnetified yourself as an enemy of the people.”

I’m not scared. but now and then I just want to comnmit murder. No. Lots of murders.

i am not a label – you can’t call me liberal or conservative or democrat or republican. i have fought for this country, bled for this country and so has 3 generations of my family. i am disgusted with the hate & ignorance that is growing daily. the foul things from both sides has made me more likely to lose my temper today than i was 8 years ago. if i walk up to you and start beating you with your mccain sign, it’s because you deserve it. i have met plenty of women who hide behind their womanhood – spewing foul, venomous things because they think they can get away with it. i had a woman try to hit me with a golf club because i told her she was wrong. while i didn’t strike back at her, i will now. that’s how much you HATE people have gotten under my skin. and that’s how you spread your disease, it’s airborne just like the flu. it’s the next pandemic… every day i see a W04 sticker and i choose not to ram the dummy who voted for that imbecile even after he proved he was a lying imbecile. when i debate with republicans using facts and reality – i don’t get facts and reality back, i get personal attacks, name calling, rants & chants… joe the plumber? he was used by mccain to make a false accusation about obama’s tax plan and like ALL republican slanders – it was based on lies. joe’s not a licensed plumber, can’t run a plumbing company, won’t make over 250,000 per year to even get into the tax bracket obama’s plan will affect, yet some dummy who likes to say “you betcha” (because she’s as much a dumb rock as the current “misunderestimated” lame duck) is in ohio trying to scare/hate people into voting against obama. why do i hear from 1 campaign “this is what i want to do for our country and you” and the other campaign i hear “this is why he is bad”? it’s all i hear from republicans… you want to sit there with your guns hiding in your house because a liberal gay man is going to come and kick your butt – do you hear what you are saying? do you even KNOW a gay man? did he sexually attack you and you liked it? why do you fear him? i am not gay, but i have friends who are – yet i’m automatically called a pinko faggot commie. it doesn’t matter that i’ve put my life on the line for republicans and democrats and straight and gay – i’m told i should leave this country – i’m told i’m an infection.

you disgust me and you dishonor the thousands that died to provide for the plentiful bounty and the freedoms enjoyed today. open your eyes, ears, and mind to the facts and make an informed decision based on the policies & programs, the vision & leadership, and the solutions that the candidate will provide. block out the lies, the slanders, the hate. i was thinking about voting for mccain until he proved to me that he has poor judgement when he selected a moron to run as his vp. “alaskans LOVE palin” is what i hear… good. texans loved W. we already took 1 idiot governor away from the people that loved that governor. i think this time, let’s learn the lesson and leave her there so she can PROVE to this country that she’s not a lying, vacuous, narrow minded bimbo. she can’t even raise her family to follow christian values and yet she purports to be a Christian? she’s forcing a kid to marry her daughter?! am i the only person who sees something wrong with this? shouldn’t marriage be about love? why did her daughter get pregnant? i thought republicans raised their children not to whore around and get knocked up at 17. i’m sure that’s in the bible somewhere… maybe it’s the 12th commandment – thou shalt not whore thyself until 21. last point – you people out there hating on everybody… take your “God is Love” bumper stickers down and flip your crosses upside down because you are the ones who are furthering satan’s cause.

Would you be so kind as to tell us why talking about Barak Obama’s past is “hate”? He has no record and some people would like to know about the candidates. We aren’t all sold after one rap video you know. I’m glad that the little information you know about Mr. Obama is enough for you to make a “informed” decision, but many like to have as full a quiver of information as possible.

Do you want teachers screened before working with kids, or is that hateful?
Has your tax accountant previously been charged with fraud, or is it hateful to look into that?
Do you take your car to the mechanic your neighbour said ripped him off, or is that hate?
Do you go to the doctor who has previous malpractice lawsuits for your open heart surgery, or is it hateful to want to know?

If you want to give Obama a free pass to the White House, that is your choice, however, we don’t all take such decisions so lightly. To call us hateful for wanting answers is misguided and glaringly uninformed.

I was at this rally. I was one of the guys handing out McCain literature. We handed out everything, all the stickers, pamphlets everything. On the whole, people were very nice to us. A lot of thumbs-up and so on. Some boos, but more cheers.

Maybe two weeks after this, we had another rally at another street fair. Same thing. One woman grabbed a McCain bumper sticker from the woman I was with. The Democrat (I am assuming) assailant twisted my friends hand and fingers, took the bumper sticker, tried unsuccessfully to tear it, then threw it to the ground and stomped on it.

I walked up to the Democrat and said, “Thank you very much!” and picked up the sticker and straightened it out. We later handed it out to somebody else.

The Democrat was enraged, unable to speak.

Other people were just as nice. “Republicans want everybody to die!” “Bush is Hitler” and so forth. We smiled and waved.

It was a lot of fun.

If the media were the big bad wolf of the presidential election season explain why Bush has been in office 8 years.

Explain why we’re in Iraq. Explain why the economy is in the toilet to levels not seen since the depression.

The liberals?

The congress has only been majority Democrat for two years and Republicans have controlled 2/3 of the branches of government for at least 10 of the last 12. And even in the past two years of a “majority” Democrat congress (slight as it is)…Bush used the process of signing statements to change unfavorable legislation more than any president in history.

Of course, “the liberals” and “the liberal media are to blame.

Yes, never let facts get in the way of a good, misguided and illogical cheerleading session for a partisan neocon ideals.

The moment when those cheerleading McCain/Palin are intellectually honest enough about how we reached this abyss in the first place is the moment we honestly move this country forward. It’s a little old blaming everything on Democrats that haven’t even been in power. You blame 9/11 on Clinton and still take no responsibility for us having no business in Iraq, the biggest reason for our economic decline.

Intellectual honesty. When you find it…come see me.

Maybe he just hates the Republican fleecing of America and sadly McCain’s supporters are the most visible representation. The man is a hater certainly and abuser of a woman but to call him a supporter of what Obama stands for is a huge stretch.

I was in Florida a few weeks ago and ran into a friend and asked her which way the election was going. She would not tell me who she was voting for (which turned out to be McCain) until I revealed I was for McCain. She said she had to be “really careful who she told”. And, by the way, these were 2 former Hillary supporters and both Democrats. People are scared to say. I am not a racist and don’t want to be called one just because I fundamentally dissagree with obama and would not vote for him. I don’t want to be called a racist so I keep quiet – and also because some of these people for Obama will do just what you described.

this whole sh*t is a mess! yeah, we want to talk about america has come sooo far since slavery and the civil rights movements, but now that a black man has a good chance of winning the presidency, the true colors are showing. yeah, you are right. democrats are damn sure playing the race card because racism is alive and well in america and this election is an obvious revelation of it. when interviewed and asked why they won’t vote for obama, a number of white people have SAID ‘because he’s black.’ now, think about the ones who have not had the balls to say it. to tell you the truth, i’m sick of america and it’s backstabbing, shady mentality. i think i’ll move to canada (after i cast my vote for obama, of course). and no, i won’t let the doorknob hit me on the way out, thank you very much!

This sort of think is happening all over. The left is the new KKK of liberalism and violent. They along with their accomplices in the press have hated for conserativism and want to deny us our civil right to vote as we see fit. They have used ACORN to steal American Votes in elections since Kennedy. We have been tolerant for years, The American Black is the wealthiest black on earth in America yet they call us racists and and murder each other worse than Bagdad.
There is a limit to tolerance. We are sick of the whining and the race card. Call off yours dogs Obama. May G-d grant us justice!
Dr. King said, ” Judge me by my character not the color of my skin.”
We have seen the character. The dead in the streets, the failure of the “Great Society” and the Black Male leaving the home. The fact is even Bill Cosby has address the issue and still the ignorance and hate. Liberalism and Socialism are dismal failures all over the world and now the left wants to bring the attrocity to the US. Go see Chavez and try it on. Do not tread on us our. We grow weary of the unfound attacks and abuse.

Colin Powell is likely set to endorse Obama…

(Not like he is CREDIBLE or anything…Republican-esque, impeccable national security credentials, professional soldier, former Secretary of State)

Retired Gen. Colin Powell, once considered a potential running mate for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), now may endorse his opponent, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), according to Republican sources. But an air of mystery surrounds Powell’s planned live appearance Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” and no one is sure what he will say.

Powell’s unassailable national security credentials could sway voters who are vacillating about whether Obama is ready to be commander in chief, and his endorsement of the Illinois senator would make a national security emphasis by McCain in the election’s closing days extremely difficult.

Powell, 71, a professional soldier for 35 years, has advised the last three Republican presidents.

The general’s camp is being coy about what he might or might not say on Sunday. But some McCain advisers suspect, without being sure, that Powell will endorse Obama.

And it’s even being reported on FOX NEWS.

I think that’s a nice way to close out the weekend. G’nite y’all.

You’re hatred for Palin makes you sound like a fat, ugly, unhappy women, since that’s all I ever see trashing her. You see, it’s not that people hate her policies, they just hate the fact that they are not her. It’s the liberal mantra – Hate those who are more successful or powerful than you. It doesn’t matter if they work harder and sacrificed more, you deserve to have what they have right?
Along those lines, here’s the modern tale of the grasshoper and the ant. If this isn’t the truth, I don’t know what is.

There is an ‘Old Version’ and a ‘Modern Version’ ..

Two Different Versions! Two Different Morals!

OLD VERSION:

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building

his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and

plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.

The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the

cold.

MORAL OF THE STORY:

Be responsible for yourself!

——————————————-

MODERN VERSION:

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his

house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and

plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and

demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well

fed while others are cold and starving.

CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide

pictures of the

shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a

table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast.

How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor

grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and

everybody

cries when they sing, ‘It’s Not Easy Being Green.’

Al Sharpton stages a demonstration in front of the ant’s house where

the

news stations film the group singing, ‘We shall overcome.’

Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper’s sake.

Nancy Pelosi & Barack Obama exclaim in an interview with Larry

King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for

an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.

Finally, the EEOC drafts

the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act

retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs

and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is

confiscated by the government.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits

of the ant’s food while the government house he is in, which just happens

to be the ant’s old house, crumbles around him because he doesn’t

maintain it..

The ant has disappeared in the snow.

The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the

house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once

peaceful neighborhood.

faceinthecrowd just said he was going to wear a McCain shirt. How the hell is this inciting people? I wore a Molson shirt yesterday without fear of being beaten by a Budweiser drinker.

Both Repulsicans and Democraps are a bunch of greedy self-serving hacks who just want more and more of the money we all earn, be it through taxes, costly rules and regulations, or fines. True conservatives (supporters of less government) shouldn’t even vote or otherwise support anyone who is annointed by either of these parties. The stuffed shirt McCain and the liberal Anti-messiah are in the pockets of corrupted elitists, and their followers are brain-damaged from TV and cellphone radiation.

I do agree with one sentiment: if Obama loses, immediate riots. If he wins, a buildup to a violent clash of ideals. This country is hopelessly fractured and will not survive in its current form.

Why don’t you go and read up on Obama and find out the actual truth instead of sitting here and spewing the lies that the Democrat party have told you. If you read this: http://www.colony14.net/id41.html then you will have done more research on Obama than 99 % of the news media.

Oct 17, 2008 - 3:43 pm 478. Catherine:

This is long, but very important and worth the time to read it. This election has so many things to consider.

I watch all the news channels, jumping from one to another. I must say this drives my husband crazy. But, I feel if you view MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News, you might get some middle ground to work with. About six months ago, I started thinking—”where did the money come from for Obama”. I have four daughters who went to College, and we were middle class, and money was tight. We (including my girls) worked hard and there were lots of student loans. I started looking into Obama’s life.

Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California. He is very open about his two years at Occidental; he tried all kinds of drugs and wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did not apply himself to his studies.

“Barry” (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan.

During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a “round the world” trip. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia, next Hyderabad in India, three weeks in Karachi, Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate’s family, then off to Africa to visit his father’s family.

My question – Where did he get the money for this trip? Nether I, nor any one of my children would have had money for a trip like this when they where in college. When he came back he started school at Columbia University in New York. It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barack – not Barry.

Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia? It’s not cheap! to say the least. Where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans? Maybe. After Columbia, he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000. a year. Why Chicago? Why not New York? He was already living in New York.

By “chance” he met Antoin “Tony” Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria, and a real estate developer in Chicago. Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery this year. Rezko, was named “Entrepreneur of the Decade” by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association” .

About two years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School. Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School? Where did he get the money for Law School? More student loans? After Law school, he went back to Chicago. Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Guess what? They represented “Rezar” which is Rezko’s firm. Rezko was one of Obama’s first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago. In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with “seed money” for his U.S. Senate race.

In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than asking price). With ALL those Student Loans – Where did he get the money for the property? On the same day Rezko’s wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price. The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Obama’s new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko.

Now, we have Obama running for President. Valerie Jarrett, was Michele Obama’s boss. She is now Obama’s chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz, Iran. Do we see a pattern here? Or, am I going crazy?

On May 10, 2008 The Times reported, Robert Malley advisor to Obama was “sacked” after the press found out he was having regular contacts with “Hamas “, which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran. This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama’s visit to Iraq, he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will “Take care of things”.

Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that where born in Pakistan? They are in charge of all those “small” Internet campaign contributions for Obama. Where is that money coming from? The poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle East?

And the final bit of news. On September 7, 2008, The Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made on “This Week” with George Stephanapoulos. Obama on talking about his religion said, “My Muslim faith”. When questioned, “he made a mistake”. Some mistake!

All of the above information I got on line. If you would like to check it – Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett: Daily Times – Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times – September 7, 2008; The Times May 10, 2008.

Now the BIG question – If I found out all this information on my own, why haven’t all of our “intelligent” members of the press been reporting this?

A phrase that keeps ringing in my ear – “Beware of the enemy from within.”

Oct 17, 2008 - 3:44 pm 479. Ron:

Maybe this Obama supporter is what Chicago and Illinois need. Read these facts:
Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago ?

Body count: In the last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago ; 221 killed in Iraq .

Sens. Barack Obama & Dick Durbin, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., Gov. Rod Blogojevich, House leader Mike Madigan,Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike), Mayor Richard M. Daley (son of Mayor Richard J. Daley)….our leadership in Illinois …..all Democrats.

Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago . Of course, they’re all blaming each other.

Can’t blame Republicans; there aren’t any!

State pension fund $44 Billion in debt, worst in country.

Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. (Look ‘em up if you want). Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country.

This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois . And he’s gonna ‘fix’ Washington politics for us!

Oct 17, 2008 - 3:45 pm 481. huh?:

Who are you people? Is it really your opinion that the millions and millions of Obama supporters out there (presumably including your neighbors, co-workers and other aquaintances, although I’m wondering if some of you are secluded enough from teh rest of the world NOT to interact with people who don’t agree with you) are wild-eyed, violent people who don’t care about the country or their families? Where do you get that notion? You don’t have to look too far to find crazy people on either side of the political spectrum, and fortunately each presidential candidate has chided people who profess violence or just abject hatred against his opponent. The level of ignorance contained among the comments here is pretty astonishing — not based on your support of one candidate over another but based on your lack of understanding or tolerance of people who support the other candidate (and your condemnation of them all as just stupid or bent on the destruction of the country). I’m sad that some crazy idiot would assault a woman, but the idea that such behavior is the M.O. of Obama supporters is just stupid. Likewise, I’m saddened to hear that people are vandalizing other people’s cars, yard signs, etc., but you’ll find reports of that happening on both sides. I have friends in both parties, and find that, even if our political discussions don’t or wouldn’t go well (so I can avoid them with some people), I like and respect people on both sides and think that each raises some legitimate points — neither candidate is perfect, but both have some strong points that could reasonably sway a reasonable person to one side or the other. You crazies that are looking for a physical fight over this should probably try to remember what democracy and reason are all about.

THIS IS REALLY A SAD CHAPTER IN AMERICA’S HISTORY.

I would never in a million years after what we experienced on 911 and the present state of the economy and the wars going on, that republicans and democrats are saying such hateful things about each other. No matter who you are voting for do you really believe all of this verbal and physical violence is needed against each other. What is all of this hatred going to solve.

Most of you call yourselves good Christians….Really? What God are you following????

If this is how a good christian would act then thank God I don’t go to church anymore. If this is what they teach in church these days. I am for sure never stepping foot in another church again.

I have never been so ashamed of my fellow Americans both white and black. I can’t believe that this is the example you are setting for your children and the next generation.

Is this what all those American and Foreign soldiers both black and white both democrats and republicans died for? What is wrong with you people?? Are you all willing to kill each other just over an election?

From what I have seen and read today. None of you have any morals, none of your care about America. The only thing that I see are a bunch of sad selfish people that are trying to ruin our country just to make a point about your opinions.

Today I am not wearing RED or BLUE. I am mourning in BLACK. What a disgrace!!!! and all of you should be ashamed of yourselves. I am hoping that this Sunday all of you will go to your individual churches and ask for forgiveness for the sins you have committed on this blog and in your communities.

May peace be with all of you at some point before or after these elections.

“kill him” and “traitor” –after a full investigation, the FBI couldn’t find one person in the crowd, not even among the Obama supporters who said they heard that. MSM deliberately distorted what they “heard” and it wasn’t either of these words being shouted.

Just more racist tactics used by Obama supporters. It seems when Obama is elected, you either go along with everything the liberals demand or you have a target on your back. This is nothing but justified violence being pumped out by the Obama supporters.

Oct 17, 2008 - 3:49 pm 485. KPB:

I’m so sad for most the writers in this blog. So much hate, mistrust, bigotry, misinformation. People with guns reading to blow someone’s head off for having a poster on the lawn. It’s not Obama or McCain that scare me — it’s YOU. Did you even notice how Obama and McCain treat each other in public events like Smith Awards last night? They were respectful and decent to one another. Neither of them is going to attack someone who disagrees with them. I agree there are too many lies produces by campaigns who want to win. But if you’re hateful or afraid right now, YOU have the problem, not the “other guy”.
I had Obama poster put in back window by friend and my back window was smashed in. So all you hatemongers crying about your McCain posters, it happens to the other side too…and I’m not vengeful or ballistic. You feel sorry someone is that whacked out.
If you watch FOX you’re being lied to constantly. If you watch MSNBC, you too are only hearing one side of things.
All you haters of Obama have obviously never read his books, or really looked at his record. You’ve believed what you’ve heard. All you haters of Palin are only seeing one side of her and not the whole person. We need to see more how we are SIMILAR and NOT have we are different, or else we will need to be worried about outcome on 11/4 regardless of who wins.

Oct 17, 2008 - 3:50 pm 486. Joe:

When will anyone realize neither side is right? You can’t spew hate and expect it not to be spewed back at you. It still amazes me that all these people sconsider themselves god fearing morally conscious citizens and not realize that they’ve become the demons they fear. 2 angry and misinformed mobs that only want their side to win no matter how rational the other side is. They blindly follow their “messiah” while attempting to hurl stones at the other. Forgetting that their “Good book” teaches them to love thy enemy. Hypocrisy at it’s finest.

Dunno about you but I’m voting 3rd party and I really wish other people followed suit.

WHAT DOES THIS REMIND YOU OF:

From “DEATH BLOW TO DEMOCRACY”
By GARETH JONES, 1933

The Brown Shirts are now masters of Germany.

Their leader, Adolf Hitler, commands among millions of people a feeling which can only be described as that of religious worship. I have for my leader;” said one leading Nazi to me, “a love which is as deep as my love for my country, and I have in him a faith than which no faith, even faith in religion, could be deeper. Hitler can never be wrong, and his orders I shall carry out to the death.” Eager crowds line the streets for each parade and, stretching out their right hands, call with ecstatic enthusiasm, “Heil, Hitler!”

What have the Brown Shirts done since Hitler became Chancellor on January 30?

They have dealt a deathblow to democracy in Germany, and have made Parliament into a despised relic of the past.

They have put one party, and one party only, into control.

The Nazis have put themselves into the position of leaders in the universities, in all committees, in factories, on boards of directors, in schools, in public offices. Most positions of trust are now held by members of the party.

They have started a ruthless campaign against the Jews, whom they have deprived of rights, whom they have persecuted both economically and morally.

They have abolished two political parties, and have seized their funds, the private property of those parties.

They have imprisoned many tens of thousands of men and women for their political views, and hold them now captive in prisons and concentration camps.

They have swept away the liberty of the press, and they come down with a heavy hand upon any editor who dares criticise the leader or his policy.

They have created a secret police, which will make still more nebulous any freedom of expression which may remain.

AMERICA, YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO SAY NO!

Try this:

Some of us know.

I’ll tell you something… I have fought behind the scenes for years to protect our constitutional freedoms. If this puke had assulted me, I would have blown him away in self defense with my pistol that I carry legally.

Freedom loving American’s are not nuts and the very freedom loving Americans throughout history, who are demonized by today’s “liberals”, socialists & communist scum, deserve to have their honor and legacy preserved. Americans do not deserve to be brought under the hard choking fist of old socialist idealogies which starved out and hurt millions in Russia and other countries.

I’ve read down the list of posts and laughed and scowled. Are you serious? So there has never been a racist president in the white house? Definitely never from the Republican part has there? Or even from the Democratics? Alot of you on here point the finger game. How about pointing it inward? How many of you have served in the senate? In congress? How many of you have raised your right hand and swore to defend this country against all enemies foriegn and domestic? It’s a good possiblity that Barack can be the biggest mistake America has yet to make! Same can be said about Mccain. Alot of you focus on black, white and make a partisain thing. There are people out there who are struggling just to live. Spread the wealth is a communist idea huh?

1 Tim. 6:17 Tell those who are rich not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which will soon be gone, but their pride and trust should be in the living God who always richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. 1 Tim. 6:18 Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and should give happily to those in need, always being ready to share with others whatever God has given them. 1 Tim. 6:19 By doing this they will be storing up real treasure for themselves in heaven–it is the only safe investment for eternity! And they will be living a fruitful Christian life down here as well.

James 2:14 Dear brothers, what’s the use of saying that you have faith and are Christians if you aren’t proving it by helping others? Will that kind of faith save anyone? James 2:15 If you have a friend who is in need of food and clothing, James 2:16 and you say to him, “Well, good-bye and God bless you; stay warm and eat hearty,” and then don’t give him clothes or food, what good does that do? James 2:17 So you see, it isn’t enough just to have faith. You must also do good to prove that you have it. Faith that doesn’t show itself by good works is no faith at all–it is dead and useless.

I am not a zealot or a “bible thumper”. When was the last time you’ve helped someone out? This is the point of it all. 8 years of a Republican President…recession. 8 prior years, Democratic President…surplus! No brainer. And the guy that went after the woman who was supporting McCain…nuts should be cut off and fed to him. Same for any violent acts on the other side. You want to be violent to defend yourself..by all means, I agree. But any other reason is savagery and you are nothing but an animal. Be it physically or verbally. chew on that.

The idiot’s comment about Bush and the military.. The national Guard is part of the military. Did you serve? I suspect not.. Why is it ignorant obama supporters always fall back on Bush. He is not running against Bush. I think that is the only answers brain dead democrats like you can come up with. McCain had the guts and the belief in the US to fight for it. What did obama do? community activist? By the company he keeps terrorists, anti-american ministers and priests. The thought of obama
as president it it far more frightning than Bush.

I have never seen such a biased liberal agenda in my lifetime. And what the media has done to Sarah Palin is a slam to any woman. I’m a registered Dem but I’m voting Mc Cain. This is not the way to win elections.

Who knows what was said, in UT I have had my vehicle vadelized because of Obama stickers. I have also been told not to come back to a local convenience store because of my political belief that McCain will further destroy our country. Even if the sign weilding McCainanites deserved a pummeling (I heard a different version of this story, where the lady isn’t quit so innocent). No one deserves to be hurt because they do not agree with everyone else. Everyone has a right to be upset over the way this campaign has turned into a mud flinging contest. But lets face it, Conservatives are angry because their party has done more damage to our country than any terrorist could ever accomplish and their candidate has paid the price. Just remember conservatives, when in glass houses do not throw stones…too bad McCain/Palin didn’t think about that. Oh and by the way, just how is the media liberal when it is 95 percent owned by staunch conservatives? OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!!!! Deal with it.

Oct 17, 2008 - 3:56 pm 497. JJ:

I doubt she deserved it at all but voting McCain. Are you crazy? I’m very independent and have voted on both sides but “this guy” is going senile and Palin is an idiot. She’s not very inteligent. There were many other better choices on the GOP side then both of these candidates. Just like there were better choices on the Democratic side. But if you can’t see this then you are blinded from reality. Please don’t let this country fall into the hands of a Senile old man and a idiotic old world calender girl that I wouldn’t even let teach my 5 year old.

The Democrat Party has become the party of hate. I only wish my black brothers would see the truth. Look at the factions that you are lining up to vote with you when you vote Democrat: Socialists, Communists, KKK (Byrd), convicts, Abortionists, Feminists, the mega rich, the extreme (violent) homosexual lobby. Do not vote for the party that continues to support and advance their agendas. They use your votes to push all of these agendas and do nothing for you – never have. Obama is just another tool, never had a job or run a business; a product of the socialist system – a racist Afro-centrist. He is turning brother against brother.

I’ve been saying the same thing for weeks. As someone who survived the Rodney King riots in L.A., I can relate with the racial violence that’s likely to occur. The kicker was a few weeks ago when a black columnist (and a liberal at that) in Philadelphia predicted violence if Obama did not win. Fair warning, thank you very much.

Jon the “economist”
Obviously not a good one. Two short years ago the economy was strong. Better than at any time during the Clinton years. Unemployment was at record low levels and Bush and McCain were warning of Fan/Freddie. No doubt you were busy learning the meaning of Socialist life from proffesor liberal at the time so it’s not your fault. It’s never any liberals fault. Your very, very proud of your “education”. It’s a very admirable thing provided you use it to think instead of assuming that you don’t have to.

As they were peacefully talking to each other, they were approached by a man who, in the words of the victim, provided the impression of “a rather benign, doughy-looking guy — not a person I would have expected to assault me.” [...]

TOM, TOM, TOM…First of all, take your time to sound out your words so that you can spell them correctly. Are you that angry you can’t even see straight? Also, from my understanding, Irish people speak English and have always spoken English.

Now, back to business…and white people, please listen. STOP BEING MAD AT BLACK PEOPLE. BLAME THE EUROPEANS WHO BROUGHT THEM. You must remember that Africans were fine and dandy in Africa. Africans were not trying to come to another country. They were FORCED to come here to America. So, as a result of the oppression and torture Africans and descendants of Africans experienced by the Europeans and descendants of Europeans who brought them over here, they REACTED to the hatred that was bestowed upon them. They got tired of being bullied! Yes-the Black Panthers and other groups formed and contained some very militant Black people. But what white people do not understand is that these groups were only formed to protect themselves from white people who only wanted to kill, kill, kill! Don’t you know that if blacks were given the same rights and not hated so much (still trying to figure out why blacks were hated so much by the people who brought them here even though they did not ask to come to America…baffles me), none of these groups would have formed? There would not have been any reason for them to form.

I am a black woman. I DO appreciate what the Union veterans of the Civil War did for my ancestors. I DO appreciate what people of all colors did for Black people during the Civil Rights movement. However, you want to know why Black people are so militant and always pull the race card? It’s because we, as a people, experience racism and discrimination every day. You will NEVER know how black people feel because you don’t live the life of a black person. So, damn it, GO BARACK! THANK YOU for giving American people of color a higher vision of achievement.

Among the more notable 527 groups is MoveOn.org. It developed the “General Betray Us” ad that mocked and insulted Gen. David Petraeus before his testimony to Congress regarding Iraq. These 527 groups have great influence within the Democratic Party.

Indeed, Eli Pariser, who heads MoveOn.org, boasted of his group’s role in the Democratic Party:

“Now it’s our party: We bought it, we own it, we are going to take it back.”

I only associate with intelligent people who are aware of obama’s act and can see him for what he really is.

This election isnt about the first mixed race president, or the first female president or vice president, its about more than one group of people wanting to end the war in the middle east, and one group, ever willing to hand over a white flag of surrendar, to be honest, its about the plain and simple facts, we can not afford to finance the war in the middle east any longer, the middle east is getting wealthy while we go into debt trying to stabelize their region so they wont come over and disrupt our region? Everyone is so concerned with voter registration fraud, but not so concerned with the fraud illegal immigrants cause the job market, the health and education system, or the fraud they perpetrate when they are given back accounts, and drivers licances, with no or fradulent id produced. and if anyone suggests identification verification in any the these systems, its just more government regulation. to be avoided at all costs that pesky big government and its regulations and all. think of all the illegal immigrants in the criminal justice system, being housed for years, instead of deported because they don’t even have the legal right to be in this country, never mind they commited a crime while here, even a violent crime. the terrorists on 9/11, went to get poliet training here in San diego ca, then hijacked jets to fly into the buildings from our own airports on our own soil, but we should be fighting them in irac or afganistan??? So what when we stabelize the middle east they wont come over here and enter our country illegaly, use our schols illegaly, then commit a crim by running our own jets into our trade centers and pentegon. Voter registration fraud is the smallest form of financial fraud being perpetrated in the United States, but for the record, I prefer the obama concept of a lega path to citizenshit because then however that plays out with accountability they can pay into systems they are using, and that would be a big help in easing everyones tax burdens. Palin dosent want to fly a white flag of surrendar, well after he son’s extended dangerous deployments, after he looses friends, and co-workers after twenty years and he survives, I wonder how she will be feeling about the white flag of surrendar, she probably wont mind much as the republican ticket so much as says they are willing and able to chase osama bin laden for another hundred years straight to hell. I wonder if Govenor Palin will be willing to meet every coffin comming back to alaska,… from the war to alaska and escort the warrior back to family, how long then would she want to fight when she faces each and every family member, who sacraficed their loved one for the war? I think she and mccain should wear a lapel pin for every soldier that died in the war on terror. but then could they stand up under the weight of the pins? I am happy to see Palin send the troops off to war, I just wish I could see her doing meet and greets in the tbi recovery hospitals, and the amputation rehabilitation centers, or the burn units, but I guess that isn’t a plesant photo op, or sales pitch for another hundred years of hunting osama in laden.

I am so sick of this B.S. the other day there was a report of a similiar incident at a palin rally,where an obama supporter was attacked, its all B.S. i wish people would just shut up and vote, everytime something happens that makes a little news, folks from the other side eat it up like its absolute fodder, what ever happened to descency, instead of always speaking out against abortion, as if that one issue is a measure of your closeness to heavens doors, its your entire being that makes you, not just a few issues, and they must be your own thoughts, for noone can stand in your place when judgement comes, so, enough of this back and forth, this country is in serious trouble, and its not because of so-called liberals, when a leader is in power, he must accept everything that happens while he’s at the helm, you cant just take the credit when things appear to be going good, now that’s honor,i wonder, if people stopped going along with sound bites, and scripts, and notes, would they really have a real thought of their own, im also amazed at the news, not because republicans always attack the so-called liberal media, but, because they never answer the charge, makes you wonder, who really owns the news, my favorite news was with dan rather, ted koppel, and bob seifert, straight news, even though some thought rather was biased in his report on bush’s national guard farse, news is news, if someone were to pull a story similiar to that about obama, they would be vigorously defended by republicans, just a word to the wise, life is way too short to be this up in arms about anything, except your family and friends,god could care less about whether you agree with sarah palin or not, there seems to be too many small minded people not only running around in this country, but also running it, and thats sad, liberal, ha ha ha, if liberal means open minded, accepting, i actually read the definition of the word, and you know what, i found nothing negative or shameful in it, dont take my word, look it up,then read the definition of conservative, if you want change, i would side with liberals instead of conservatives, the country is on the brink of all out financial chaos, mistrust, meddling in other nations affairs,and what amounts to your rights being flushed down the toilet, and all we seem to care about is this political game, where your guy is your guy, no matter what, everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, and i have stated mine.

An American citizen should be able to ask Obama
a question, without being crucified by the Obama campaign.
Obama is ahead in the polls, but are the polls
a realistic reflection of what will actually happen
in the voting booth? Obama is outspending McCain
3 to one … He has 90% of the media in his pocket
… he has 98% of the black vote … he has voter fraud
on his side, with groups like Acorn … and yet the
election is still close. So far, all the conclusions by all the
pundits are totally based upon POLLS. Not a single actual vote
has been cast yet. Obama supporters gush at how
well their man has done in the debates, which proves
once again that Obama is a good debater and a good
speaker. It doesn’t say anything about his character,
judgement, or what kind of a leader he would be.
I still would rather trust a man who would not sell out
his fellow prisoners, even during 5 years of torture,
than to trust a man who betrayed a 20 year friendship,
for personal ambition. And … regarding this election,
until people actually vote … it ain’t over till it’s over

What kind of idiot thinks that a complete race of people are only “Crack Whores”, violent thieves, etc and to think that all Blacks are going to riot is Obama wins is about the most stupid comment ever. That really shows how truly ignorant you are. The truth is there are bad individuals in every race (I feel like I have to speak like I am talking to a child). The problem is Obama is an intelligent black man and the so called “supreme racist” can not stand intelligent people of another race. Well guess what? They are everywhere and not going anywhere.

Hmm, an Obama supporter losing his mind? While I do not believe that all conservatives are violent, I do believe that there are plenty of conservatives who are violent. When your first reaction to change is fear and that fear leads you to buying a hand gun? Generally gun shopping is not a sign of a person who is not violent, does not advocate violence and does everything in his or her power to stop violence. I’d also like to remind people of all of those in the Republican party who believe that killing doctors who perform abortions and bombimg clinics where abortions may or may not be performed and forcing people who are following their consciouses to fear for their lives that such beliefs advocate for violence.

To state that only liberals are violent is rediculous and uninformed at best and specious at its worst.

For a party who likes to loosely throw around terms such as “terrorist”, it seems many have forgotten that bombing anything is an act of domestic terrorism even when it is someone bombing somthing you don’t like. It is the action and not the reason for the action that makes a terrorist.

I haven’t read all the post here, but if it’s like most post, it doesn’t take long to see the pattern of the violent left Obamatrons. I don’t know if it’s the whole victim mentality that the left spews or if more looney young people are lefties. But theres no disputing that there is much more venom and just plain Hate from the left. I mean I disagree with 95% of what Obama represents, but I don’t hate the man, or his runniing mate, or his wife. But you see that all the time from the left. It’s very scary, when you think of those in the past that have been able to unify the hate and use it to rise to power,through intimidation, and plain old thuggary. I’m not saying thats happening here, but I’m not “not saying it” either.

Oct 17, 2008 - 4:54 pm 548. Mike:

Ahhh yes once again, we see the tactics of the Democrats….the party of tolerance and diversity. More like the party of hate, intolerance, and hypocrisy. The nazi party was a socialist far left party as well, and they used the same tactics. Interesting. But Obama did tell his worshipers to “get in people’s faces” so can we be surprised when an O-Bot follows the commands of his prophet?

Oct 17, 2008 - 4:55 pm 549. Rebecca:

How funny. I live in Texas, where, so far, because of my Obama bumper sticker, I’ve been flipped off three times, called an n-lover, and my husband’s had his bumper sticker peeled off and wadded up.

In 2004, our paid-for Kerry sign was broken up in our yard. My co-worker’s car was keyed and another had the window smashed in by her bumper sticker. Nothing stolen, just the car damaged.

Yeah, you Rethuglicans really have some legs to stand on when it comes to ethics. If you’re so right, why are you so afraid to allow us our Constitutional right of free speech?

And FYI, I am not a Democrat — I’m an independent who hates George Bush.

Oct 17, 2008 - 4:57 pm 550. chickenshit liberal:

man, i was going to write a note here apologizing for the whacko that attacked your lady ,but after reading 500 posts full of hate and threats of guns and lynching, maybe he had a point…….

Oct 17, 2008 - 4:57 pm 551. GW:

too bad she wasn’t lisenced to carry, no wait, concealed weapons permits are virtually non-existant in the big apple. And now there are NO GUNS there. HO HO HO!

Oct 17, 2008 - 4:58 pm 552. Are you serious?:

It amazes me that one nut in NYC does some ridiculous stunt like this and all the small minded right wing nuts point to this guy as representative of anyone who would vote for Obama! Are your brains really that small? Seriously? Hey guess what I’m a democrat and I have never hit a republican woman in the face and never will. I won’t even cuss at one. I would actually debate one without raising my voice and be respectful of her views. Does this rock your world or what. Get a life you losers!

PS. I also like the 1st and 2nd amendments. WOW. Crazy talk.

PSS. I’m not a fascist.

PSS. I’m not a Stalinist.

PSSS. I’m not a socialist.

PSSSS. I don’t care if you have guns.

PSSSSS. I’m not a communist.

PSSSSSS. you ultra conservatives need to get some education because you all throw around terms that you don’t seem to have any idea what they mean. Please purchase a dictionary at least and get some learin done. Get r done. Learnin that is. Get r done!! You betcha.

PSSSSSSS. I would say most ultra conservatives are poster children of our broken education system actually. Get r done!!! Learnin. (just trying to talk the lingo you all seem to understand and seem to like)

Oct 17, 2008 - 4:59 pm 553. Ann:

I’m a Republican married to a Democrat and I’m SHOCKED at how aggressive he has become with this election. He HATES Republicans to the core and when he tells me WHY, I’m baffled because what he says about Republicans is exactly what the Democrat party is doing at the moment. He is truly BLIND when it comes to them. We dare not talk politics, or our marriage would end. His loyalty to US is in question as far as I’m concerned.

Oct 17, 2008 - 5:00 pm 554. Blue Denim:

Aloha Laura T – No matter what Obama (or ghost writer) penned in books, Barry lived a privileged life in our Hawaii. Not only educational but socially. He received no scholarship or financial aid to Punahou. Punahou School is one of the few remaining live-in campuses, grades 1 through 12, in America. Only Oahu island locals live off-campus. Enrolled students are from around the world, including ambassador’s kids; however, whatever their background they are each and every one from privileged families. The school’s curriculum is of such caliber that if you will likely graduate with a certain grade point, college entrance exams are not necessary. The Punahou diploma holds it own at even the finest universities and colleges.

Obama and family were accepted in upper circles (including military, entertainment and private circles). BTW, the time Obama indicated his mother used food stamps for a while . . . there was no such thing as food stamps or a similar program in Hawaii at that time.

Few people are aware, or have not taken the time to research the political machine that chose Obama. The long ruling, Chicago Daley family political “machine” and it is indeed dangerous and ruthless. When Gore looked like he was losing his run for the Presidency, what did he do? Called upon Daley out of Chicago who rushed to Florida and on his behalf tried to steal the election. If Obama is successful in his race for the White House, the liberals will have gotten what they deserve. Unfortunately the rest of us will also be on the receiving end. If we thought the loss of freedom of speech, of choice, of our God given 2nd Amendment rights, and several other amendments have already started to slide, we’ve probably not seen anything yet. It’s the extremely powerful machine using and controlling this “socialist.” For those of you in or around the Chicago-Rockford-Springfield areas you know the Daley machine stops at nothing and crawls on its belly. An innocent teen couple walking out of a post prom dinner, innocently in the wrong place at the wrong moment, and never to see the light of day again is nothing to this machine.

Obama is one of two things – either he’s a despicable piece of deceipt like the machine who carefully, oh so carefully selected, primed and bought him for their needs and plans – OR – he’s none too bright and self-absorbed. There’s no other way to get hooked up with the likes of the Daley machine. None

Good grief, what has happened to the conservatives? Time was when the conservative movement was calm and organized, efficient with money, marshalled facts and statistics, science and theory to support its ideas, and was stoic in the face of opposition and adversity. Conservativism today is hysterical and whiny, spends money like a drunken Kennedy on shore leave, uses anecdotes and personal attacks, disposes with science, and cries foul (or just plain cries) in the face of opposition. Conservatism has become as soft-headed and mush-mouthed as the liberals! What ever happened to “rock-ribbed” Republicanism? Whatever happened to it, we need it back. Back then, conservative thought was respected because conservatives were respected and respectable. Nowadays, the conservative cause is as limp and pathetic as liberalism, and who can respect that? Get some guts, conservatives! Enough throwing wild punches and falling on our faces, blubbering. Show some steel, and let’s gain some respect by action instead of being Rodney Dangerfield Republicans complaining that “we don’t get no respect.”

Someone mentioned this is typical democrat behavior, LOL, and they cant have a rational convo without screaming, ann coulter is not a democrat, rush limbaugh is not a democrat, bill o’reilly is not a democrat, and sean hannity is certainly not one,and speaking of being blind, has anyone bothered to look back to eight years ago, if you think that nothing is wrong with that picture, then its you thats blind,remeber when bush came into office, the huge surplus we had, our world standing was good, our dollar was good, everyone was doing ok, then it went down hill, and instead of folks realizing he was on the wrong course, they threw that notion out there, that he inherited a recession, go figure, and speaking of eight years ago, john mccain was smeared by bush/rove/cheney, so how is it that he’s the savior now, and speaking of smeared,i still cant believe that two guys, who never even served in the military, as a matter of fact, got deferments, so they would’nt have to go to war themselves, actually won against a guy named kerry, who not only served, but volunteered, not once, but twice, for combat, actually fighting, on the ground, WOW, i wondfer if a group came along and said they served with mccain, and disputed how many days he was held captive, and that he gave the enemy a few secrets, you know, swift boat like, therte would be a national outrage blowing from the right, politics is in fact a game, and some folks actually believe god will choose who he wants in office, palin/mccain? i think not, we are all sinners, and politicians are no different, god is interested in your true belief in him, not a candidate,yes, there are some blind people in this world, and if i did have an obama/biden sticker, i would be afraid to ride through parts of this country that still thinks a person of color is somehow less than themselves.

Oct 17, 2008 - 5:04 pm 559. Anonymous:

I’m an independent and I approve this message.

The majority of mccain supporters are good people. Racist and bigots are jumping on the mccain bandwagon and yelling insults at these mccain supporters rally.

Next time start your article with a true statement so that maybe, lets hope, that the rest of your story is not fabricated:

“While the Democrat-leaning media continues to scare undecided voters with bedtime stories about some mythical angry McCain supporter whom nobody has seen…”

Oct 17, 2008 - 5:08 pm 560. Sam:

These comments are scary. People, let’s get a hold of ourselves. There are violent out-of-control people in the world and no political party or country has is completely free of them or completely composed of them. And yes, their voices are often the loudest. Including in this comment board.

Let’s jump off the hate bandwagon, and stop the fear-mongering on both sides.

Let’s get back to what has made America great and vote with our hearts and vote for the person we believe will best lead our country. We are one people and despite what that guy above said, we can’t be united without both liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans.

Oct 17, 2008 - 5:08 pm 561. conservative chick:

Liberals are the most worthless individuals on the face of this earth. I sure am glad that I married a hard working republican man. A man that will work more than a 30 hour work week. A man that will not whine about the wealth of others around him but be inspired by those individuals. Face it, Republicans just have more drive.

Yes this presidential election has been a big shocker to everyone. I live in a small town in Mississippi with alot of Obama supporters and am afraid to post anything around my home or on my car that has anything to do with the election.

Oct 17, 2008 - 5:10 pm 564. Dave B.:

Yes, times are a changing. I wouldn’t put a McCain sticker on my car for fear that some Obama supporter would key my car and the same goes for a yard sign.

Why are they in a rage? Why are they unreasonable? It’s because they’re being controlled by a force beyond their control. It’s because of the fall. Some of you will understand: The time to gain the oil is nearly over.

Oct 17, 2008 - 5:10 pm 565. zzz:

I’m from California and it is most likely going Osama in the Electoral College. I “work” overseas so I just faxed in my CA absentee ballot for McCain as a “last great act of defiance”, and hope. This election is really in the hands of the voters in the battle ground states, that is if ACORN doesn’t completly undermine the process. McCain was not my “first” choice but especially in light of this increasingly typical kind of behavior fron the Looney-Left I’d rather drink a bucket of warm Alaska moose piss than a shot glass of LSD laced Chicago Kool-Aid. It will only get worse if The Messiah “wins”. Hopefully there will be a USA for me and others to come back to and unlike some snotty Hollywood celebrities that threated to leave the USA in a snit in the past if they didn’t win, I’ll just shelter in place again while clinging to my guns (sorry BO, no religion, I’m an agnostic) just like I had to do for eight years under Billary ;-(

I was raised and taught early on that you never raise your hand (or anything else) to a woman. Then again I was raised conservative, Republican, and with a knowledge of respect for the rights of others.

Oct 17, 2008 - 5:11 pm 567. R:

I truly sorry this woman was attacked, however reading the complaint filed , no where does it stipulate that the man was an Obama supporter.
and I think this is another attempt and a rather sorry one at that to discredit or smear the Obama campain and it’s supporters, it’s a little late in the day for that, and I’m and independent, and this John Mc Cain and Sarah Palin haven’t a clue how to run or great nation or what wants was until the Republicians have demimished our standing finaiancal and other wise as a whole.
and Lastly, why would able bodied men with her just stand around and watch her being attacked???????

Sorry, I think the republican campaign has sunk and low as it can and there is no recover..

Oct 17, 2008 - 5:11 pm 568. BO stinks:

Don’t underestimate the capacity of Democrats to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory,” he said, only half in jest. “Don’t underestimate our ability to screw it up.”

That’s Barry’s words – …our ability to screw it up….

and we want you running our country….gheesh…Not ME.

On Nov 3rd My fridge & pantry will be stocked, cars gassed up & doors bolted because if BHO looses then it will be mayhem on Nov 5th. The MSM has already declared BHO the winner and if he doesn’t win then the streets will erupt with violence.

BARRY should be ashamed of himself. I hope both his daughters grow up to be conservatives.

Oct 17, 2008 - 5:12 pm 569. John:

The REAL issue in reports of this type is not the partisanship of the media or the righteousness or evil of the liberal or conservative cause. These acts are perpetrated by Americans againgst Americans, regardless of party affiliation. The analysis of such actions, whether emanating from left or right on the political spectrum, suggests retaliation is okay, because the other side did something similar. Sounds like a puerile playground justification for beating up another kid; he/she called me a name first. The real issue here is that America is tearing itself apart from within, and not a radical Muslim named Hussein in sight. As an independent who refuses to abandon common sense may I suggest that all of you political ideologues get a grip on your emotions and start attempting to act like rational adults. Patriotism has many colors, but it does not thrive in an atmosphere of irrational behavior, ideological hatred, whining, and stupidity.

Oct 17, 2008 - 5:14 pm 570. margeet:

When I worked for the government, I needed to get a secret clearance for my position. If O’Bama had to get a secret clearance using the standards the rest of us must deal with, he couldn’t obtain one due to his past. And he is going to be our president?
Also, do you want every illegal to have a driver’s license? Our social security and Medicare/medicaid are running out of funding? Why, because we provide service and social security to illegals and are not being reimbursed by their country of origin, wherever that may be. Nice – come on in, we’ll take care of you; bring in diseases, etc. Don’t have to learn the English language — government will take care of you. These are the real issues — not the crap of who dissed who. Let’s look at real issues folks.

Oct 17, 2008 - 5:16 pm 571. Jesse:

It’s funny that she took a photo of “fellow supporters” and there is one guy with a sign.

Seriously, is that all the McCain camp can muster up?

Oct 17, 2008 - 5:18 pm 572. Jimbo:

“PSSSSSSS. I would say most ultra conservatives are poster children of our broken education system actually.”

You seem to forget the that dems own all the teachers unions and the educators are 90+% democrat. Schools are nothing more than indoctrination centers for socialist values. No amount of money thrown at it will fix it with the current corruption and ideological bent. We need to get the government out of education through the use of tax credits and/or vouchers to enable parents a choice in the education of their children. The dems will brainwash our children.

Oct 17, 2008 - 5:19 pm 573. Tim:

I am not shocked buy this story at all, the left of this country has become more and more militant as the years go by, they remind me of children, they cry to get there way and when they don’t get it they pout or make threats, or stop there proverbial feet, both party’s have fringe elements that will end up drawing everyone into a fight that will ether cleanse this nation or kill it, as a member of the military I can say that we will defend the Constitution against all enemy’s and it will not go well for any fringe group on ether side.

Oct 17, 2008 - 5:20 pm 574. roksteddy:

I’m a Democrat and I say to my fellow Democrats who are extremists… go to hell. The American society has no place for you. Just like a terrorist, an extreme Democrat/Republican is just as dangerous as a foreign terrorist.

To: all citizens, think before you do / say something in this election. The idea of electing a president in democracy is to make this country more unified and a better place to live. Resorting to violence or doing whatever it takes to get your person into office is not American.

To: Republicans, not all Democrats behave like this. You need to treat us like you treat stereotypes. In every race, organization, culture, nation, there are good eggs and there are bad eggs. I don’t hate all Republicans, because it’s counterproductive, but I do disagree with some of your philosophies and principles. And it’s good, because that means this country possseses a healthy check and balance, a.k.a. DEMOCRACY, unlike some of the countries in the world. Enjoy this privilege.

Oct 17, 2008 - 5:22 pm 575. Capitalist Pig:

Here in Houston,the news reported- A guy had a Calvin peeing on an Obama sticker when a black female Obama supporter followed him home, blocked his car in with hers and began verbally assualting him, racist remarks and making death threats. She was arrested, but the Obam-iacs are loosing it! Imagine what will happen when they loose the election.
I just wish I was there to witness this assualt in New York on that woman, I would have gave him a serious beat down!

Oct 17, 2008 - 5:23 pm 576. Chuck in Austin:

Hey Millie:
I resent like hell being called racist because I think Obama is not presidential material.

Obama is the most liberal member of the Senate, based on voting record. Strike one!
Obama was a member of a blatantly racist church for 20 years. (Negros can be racist, too) Strike Two!
Obama has no sense of what it is to be American. Michelle’s even worse.
Strike three! He’s out.

Oct 17, 2008 - 5:24 pm 577. Charles:

Is it me, or has a high percentage of Obamans started their end zone dance already? As one young brotha said; Come Nov, were coming to Washington to party or were coming to burn it down.

Oct 17, 2008 - 5:24 pm 578. Grey:

I’m curious: If Democrats are such masters of trickery, media control and election stealing then why has there been 8 years of Bush? Why is Rush the most listened to talk radio host in the country? Why is Ann Coulter able to get her books published? Why does Rupert Murdoch own Fox?

I think you right wing types need to think a little about how much air time, money and power the Republican party actually has before claiming that the left controls everything. Otherwise, you might come off as, oh- I don’t know… full of sh*t.

Oct 17, 2008 - 5:25 pm 579. R a Z o R:

First thing the Nazis did was to supress dissent with violence.

There are many signs the left has the same agenda and as someone who is STILL UNDECIDED, I’m not so much against Obama but the other people in the left. Do we really want to give PETA, Nancy Pelosi, and all the fringe left groups unlimited power for 2 years?

Once they get in you can bet they won’t have after the next election.

Oct 17, 2008 - 5:25 pm 581. cedarford:

Dave:

I’ve never heard of Republicans attacking someone holding a Democrat for office sign.
In fact,this goes for the Dems who routinely run over lawn signs..only Republican signs get run down.
I guess it has to do with the much greater level of naturally violent black beasts(95% for Obama)in the Democratic party along with other types who are clueless in the fields of economics,responsibility and liberty.

I’d be careful and not use universal racist terms like “naturally violent black beasts” to describe each and every black. That a black is statistically more likely to be involved in violent felonies – thus all are – is about as valid as saying that Jews are rapacious money-loving Commie-loving creatures. That cut all ethical corners to grab gold into their sweaty little mitts simply because Jews are disproportionately represented in financial scams various Wall Street scumbag scandals. And that all Jews are in Radical politics – because some Jews founded or made up the majority of radical groups like the anarchists, Mensheviks, or about 50% of the Communist Party leadership in the USA or Soviet Union at various times.

But speaking of scumbags, I do expect the thug part of the black community is long overdue for some riots and serious muggings and lootings. Its been 10 years, and most blacks “missed out” on the Katrina disaster as a time to do a little free shopping.
Nor is buying a gun thinking that the threat level from violent blacks is increasing a sign that gun-buyers are violent people no different than the thugs.

One silly woman named “Mia” implied so. She is wrong.
********************

As for Dems running down signs, I had my Bush/Cheney sign mowed down in 2000. Not very upsetting – but the fact the assholes thought themselves free to drive onto my property and leave deep tire ruts in the rain-softened lawn was.
I constructed a nail strip from two 2X4s and put it out each night beginning in 2000. No takers yet, though I hope it happens…

PS – we’re all still praying in tongues real hard for them witches to leave you alone down here at the Vacation Bible School… oh miny webow napoo ching dangara chopiminino boochootada ta ra ra ta – in the eternal blood dripping name of Yeshua (That’s what Jesus’ name used to be before the Roman Empire tried to make it more like Zeus) do we pray, Amen (Amen, as in “Amen Ra”??? Why do we still call out to an Egyptian god at the end of a xian prayer again?)

Nevermind all that, just gobble up what the preacher regurgitated from the pulpit for you…

@ R a Z o R: Afraid to put a NObama sticker on your car – understandable. I feel the same way – the amount of hatred, anger and hostility from the libtard left is palpable – at the least I would expect my car to be vandalized. If Obamination wins, I’d expect the Secret Service or “Truth Squad” read SS or KGB to show up on my doorstep.

I cannot stand the fact that these so called liberal democrats can go around displaying Obama t-shirts knowing the fact that he never worked a day in his entire life. Makes you wonder what or how he made money before he became governor, i wonder?????

REALITY CHECK TIME!!

The 2 party system is BROKEN and OUTDATED. It’s time to take the country back from the extremists on BOTH sides and get someone with an ounce of brains to run the country so we can all get back to work, raise our families, and have a REAL LIFE AGAIN!!

I am seeing SO MUCH hate spewing FROM BOTH SIDES of the supporters of the candidates in this election that I wonder if I somehow got sucked into the 16th century. Are going to start drawing and quartering each other next, and cutting off heads to send them to the four corners of America so everyone can see who the real traitors are? Wake up, people! It’s time to grow up and check the water for LEAD contamination, because the stuff I’ve been reading here makes me believe someone’s been sampling BAD TAP WATER!

Honestly, I’m MORE worried that my husband, a DISABLED ARMY VET, will lose what’s left of his 401k, since we know Soc. Security will be gone before either of us retires, and I’m more worried about my mom, who can’t sell her house, my sister who’s husband JUST got laid off, and my other sister, who’s in college and is having a hard time with money and works a MINIMUM WAGE job cleaning offices, or whether or not I’ll HAVE a job next year, or if we’ll have the economy tank into the Depression. On the bright side, at least if my grandmother (91) doesn’t die, I can try and ask her for survival tips–provided she’s not lost all of her memory!

Trust me, people, there’s BIGGER stuff to worry about than who said or did what to WHOM.

So you have a choice:

1)STOP BICKERING AND PICKING EACH OTHER TO DEATH LIKE A BUNCH OF CHICKENS GOING AFTER THE WEAKEST CHICK

2)VOTE TO TAKE YOUR COUNTRY BACK FROM THE CROOKS IN BOTH PARTIES WHO VOTED FOR THE BAILOUT TO TAKE YOUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS AND GIVE THEM TO THE RICH BANKERS ON WALL STREET

Good luck to ANY family of ANY race or religion or none at all who’s trying to MAKE it in this country right now.

I’m SICK of the nonsense! I’m voting 3rd party to send MY message to WASHINGTON DC loud and clear!

Well stated rebecca and dan, also, someone mentioned that if obama gets in office, there goes everything christian,since when did this country actually follow the teachings of christ,christ never hated anyone, cursed, defiled, belittled anyone, he was compassionate,he did as god asked, he had pity on the less fortunate, he fed the hungry with his own hands, he was meek, even when satan tried to tempt him, he told satan to get away from me, when judas betrayed him he did’nt curse, and ask him was he crazy, he hung on his cross with forgiveness still in his heart, and still had love for his fellow man, where in this country do you see that example being applied,noone is jesus of course, but he left a clear example of how to conduct yourselves, i always get a little miffed, when someone mentions religion in this country, as if there are sinless people walking this earth, its sad that so many people think that going to church once a week, dropping offerings in the plate, and praying, is all it takes to get to be chosen as a true follower and believer in god, its whats in your heart, read the bible and get the full understanding of whats required of you before you speak about christianity so loudly, jesus said, everyone calling on me or my name will not be saved, satan is busy, and you are not immune based on your political views, satan could care less if you like bush, mccain, obama, clinton, or whover, and neither does god.

Oct 17, 2008 - 5:28 pm 589. Diane Bedford:

I am so upset by the way the country is behaving. when did all of this start anyway. I put a McCain sticker on my car, and eggs were thrown all over the car. I put another one and my car was keyed. (I live in California and drive a very nice car). Then I put a McCain sign in front of my house and I awoke the next morning to at least 30 Obama signs planted all over my yard. Now, my neighborhood is FULL of Obama signs that no one disturbs.()This is California, remember???) I have had to replace my McCain sign so many times that I finally climbed a ladder and put it high on the trunk of a palm tree. No wonder I ma furious. Where will this all lead? I am afraid for all of us.
This is really sickening. I thought all liberals were in favor of free speech. HA!

And another thing, I don’t believe that guy was a typical Obama supporter because when asked why he did it, he said he didn’t know.

Typical Obama supporters usually have to have questions asked of them 3 or 4 times before they recognize that it was a question.

And another 2 times till they recognize it was directed at them.

The left is fast approaching a Fascist approach to the political discourse of this nation. Obama has the most Fascist tendencies of any national political since Huey P. Long.

However, the people of this nation will not accept the bullying that has been going on by the Democrat militants. People are fed up.

The sad truth is that if Obama is elected the cause against racism will be set back for decades. I believe that blacks and other minorities are looking forward to exerting their new power under an Obama administration. These misguided souls have been taught by the far left that they are entitled to what is not theirs. Their pent up hostility will be evident once they feel justified in acting it out. I fully expect riots whether Obama wins or not. If Obama does win there will be a backlash by the majority, possibly a violent one. That said, it will be a very long time before another black man has an opportunity to serve as president. Color doesn’t really matter to most of us but what does matter is that whoever the candidate is has a profound commitment to working for the best of the American ideal as set forth in the constitution.

roksteddy, this happens on their side as well, dont take it so personal, dont waste your time explaining, they still think you’re wrong,hypocrasy is ripe in this world,if this happened at a mccain/palin rally, to an obama/biden supporter, they would be saying it was fake or a media stunt, planted by the obama camp, so maybe, its just a media stunt? there is too much emotion in this election, as a matter of fact, it reminds me of when bush/cheney took office, but i guess everyone forgets about that stuff, huh.

Both sides have retarded people who rattle off views that don’t reflect modern republicans or democrats. These people just rile up the crowds and get them in a frenzy. Other countries must look at our system and laugh. Both sides call each other dispicable things then come and shake hands at a debate. Stick to the issues (not Bill Ayers or Gordon Liddy)

It is a sad time that politicians have divided this country so thoroughly. Perhaps this was their plan all along — divide and conquer — let government take over everything. What happed to ‘love thy neighbor’? I have friends and loved ones in both camps. I may not agree with all of them or understand their thoughts; but, I still love and respect them as human beings.

The idea that ANYONE believes the words coming out of a politician’s mouth is laughable.

Is anyone actually voting for a candidate or just against their opponent?

EVERYONE is entitled to their beliefs and freedom of speech. I personally believed that all of the media should be locked up. Regardless of the channel, they are all biased one way or another. I personally would love to see some actual journalism where I am getting facts from the media and not their opinions/slants/biases.

The despicable acts of individuals across the nation does not paint their entire parties with the same brush. We should ALL be condemning each and every one of these acts regardless of their party affiliation.

Everyone will have to vote their conscience and answer one question? Who is responsible for taking care of me? The answer to this question alone with steer each person to their respective candidate.

God bless each and every one of you. I wish you all some peace and calmness in your lives.

Sadly, this seems to be par for the course for a major LOUD faction of Obama supporters. These are the same people (check out Daily Kos if you want to see them in their natural element) that have viciously and without any sense of human decency gone after a private citizen that did nothing more than ask Obama a question. They posted this man’s phone number, address, liens, speeding ticket record and other private information on-line. They’ve attacked him as a phony because Joe is his middle rather than first name, he shares the last name of a guy that’s associated with Charles Keating, and he doesn’t have plumbers license. Biden has gone as far as to mock this private citizen on national television. Personally, I find this BEYOND loathsome. It’s very similar to the hateful smear campaign they perpetrated against Govenor Palin, but at least in that case the victim was someone that CHOSE to be a public figure. Not true with Joe the Plumber. They don’t care.

Why would they do this? From what I can gather reading their posts they are certain Joe is some sort of McCain plant. It doesn’t matter to them that Senator Obama approached HIM, not the other way around. The mere fact that Senator Obama’s encounter with this man led to Senator Obama revealing his warmed over socialist leanings was enough for them to target the man as a fraud and as such, not worthy of human respect and decency.

It’s become clear throughout this presidential campaign that this particular group of Obama supporters sees the Presidential campaign as a war between good and evil. Through the primaries versus Hillary Clinton and her supporters and now during the general election versus McCain/Palin and their supporters, these Obama supporters have revealed a consistent pattern of cruelty, viciousness, hypocrisy and intolerance.

There are two things I find truly disturbing about these people:
(1) They depersonalize their opponents: Clinton, Palin, McCain and all their supporters clearly are not human to this particular group of Obama supporters. This depersonalization of the opposition is very similar to what Nazis and violent racists do. It gives them license to do things to the “enemy” that they might never do in their everyday life like humiliate a teenage girl, or damage the livelihood and reputation of a private citizen.
(2) They are utterly incapable of seeing their own faults and failures with respect to this campaign.
They think only “Rethuglicans” are capable of vicious lies, cruelty and smear campaigns. They think only “Rethuglicans” are capable of intolerance. Only “Rethuglicans” are capable of ends justify the means type behavior. Everything THEY do is justified as FIGHTING BACK and stopping evil, racist “Rethuglicans” from destroying life as we know it.

I must tell you that these are the funniest comments I read in a while. Evidently, people forgot that African Americans have always voted for white presidents (since they were given the right to vote) without racism being an issue. Now, that a half (not even) full black “decent-family citizen” (according to McCain) is running for President of US, all hell broke lose and teeth started grinding everywhere about racism. When did skin colors and ethnic origin become a divider in this country? We can’t judge campaigns by the behavior of some nut cases on both sides. Where is our decency?

This is just an example of the thuggish behavior advocated by Obama in his “get in their face” order. I went to vote early and was met by two women, one I know personally and is on welfare. When I approached in my van the held the signs out in front of my line of vision. I motioned for them to get out my way and gave them the one fingered illegal immigrant good luck sign. When I got out Marcie approached me and said “why did you give us the finger, that offended us?” I said I gave you the sign because your sign offends me. I live I a small town and am known to a lot of folks and so far I have received more than 30 calls from folk who will not identify themselves.

What is the objection to everyone paying their fair share of taxes so we can have roads and bridges that don’t collapse under us and have jobs here at home? It’s not like Obama is going to take all their money…they’ll still make more than anyone I know personally. What’s wrong with everyone being able to go to the doctor? We pay for it anyway, at emergency rooms. Is it your American, Christian opinion that people who serve your food, bag your groceries, etc. deserve to suffer and die because they aren’t lucky enough to work for a company with benifits?

Oct 17, 2008 - 6:06 pm 624. DeeDee Not for Obama:

What do I say about this is, I tried to post a question on Yahoo messenger about this country, “Is This A Christian Nation” I asked. I also explained that it wasn’t, and that anyone confessing to be a Christian should not vote for Obama. I didn’t go “postal” I explained first why we were no longer a Christian nation and then asked the question. Well some nut case went crazy and reported me, which I got a violation on this question and it was immediately pulled. So be it! We all have our own voices here called “freedom of speech,” however Yahoo doesn’t seem to think so along with the other liberals out there supporting their choices, wants, needs and “it’s an all about me” thing. Of course if this was reversed with the Obamaites having an offensive person doing this, then “hell” would be let out in a fury, and the media would have an open hunting field day, which would not cease until after the election. So this gal gets injured and all is well and everything is swept under the rug. How convenient for our lovely news reporters (sounds like they all are the Obamaites surfacing from under the decaying woodwork). I will say two things here: (1) Psalm 33:12 – Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; (2) May our Heavenly Father have mercy on us all if Obama wins! Tragically horrific it would be for a Muslim to be the President of the USA, and then where will God be in a Muslim’s eyes, not “the God” but a god, which will be from their own making. It’s just going to be an open season for the terrorists. I pray for John McCain and Sarah Palin, as evil is rampant here in this once beloved and Christian nation, but not anymore.

You guys are a bunch of idiots. Extremist views on either side, Democratic or Republican, has no place in this election. What this man did to this woman was senseless, brutal, and should be punished to the full extent of the law. I do believe that neither side, neither OBAMA or MCCAIN, and no decent human being, regardless of party affiliation, would condone or excuse such behavior. This woman was a victim of a heinous crime, however, it was not perpetrated by the Democratic party, it was an act by a sick individual who happens to not belong to the Republican party. When we start talking about buying guns, stocking up on guns, and preparing for urban communities to revolt “for not getting their way”, then we sound just like the idiot in this story who went “crazy” due to this election. If you have hate in your hearts, it will always be there, Republican or Democrat.

It’s sad but Obama does not mention racism in his campaign, however, it is the media who highlights his African-American background. The truth of the matter is that most Republicans fear having a black man run this country, and would rather vote for a mother of 5, who has no interest in foreign policy but has great memorization skills and lots of cute gestures and one-liners. Palin does well in prepared, memorized, and rehearsed settings, but when she gets out of this comfort zone, she is an IDIOT!!!! The reality is, McCain may not make it to a full term, but it is racism and hate that drives most Republicans to choose an ailing candidate and an IDIOT running mate, compared to an eloquent passionate Obama who has a strong running mate on his side.

MCCAIN and Bush are one in the same. They are both like stubborn children who believe in vengeance. “If you hit me, I will hit you back.” If you bomd us, then we will bomb you back. No discussions, no treaties, no negotiations, let’s fight a never-ending war that has no end in sight, but who cares, since we are only losing our sons and daughters daily. McCain wants a fight to the end, but wait, where is the war against terror? Is it Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan??? It’s so confusing since Al-Quaeda bombed us from Afghanistan, but yet, Bush’s greedy oil family wanted to take advantage of the “fight against terror” by invading a country who was not involved in terroist actions against the U.S. Instead of getting some clarity, some direction to end this war, and save our military men and women from dying for no reason, MCCAIN wants us to keep fighting to save face.

It’s sad, because most Republicans believe this war was justified and continue to believe the lies that Bush and MCCAIN have told. We continue to count the men and women who die for Oil and not the war against terror. Don’t forget, Bush claimed victory after 5 years into the war. So are we really still fighting terror, or was he wrong, or did he just lie. These questions may not be important to some, because the reality is, Obama being of African-American descent is the bigger issue. For those of you who raise the issue of Obama’s elitism, do you fail to realize that MCCAIN has at least 8 homes, or at least that is how many he knows of. Just because the Obama’s worked hard to receive scholarships to attend prestigious universities, doesn’t make them elite. Many of you are plain jealous, that these poor kids, who came from nothing, made something of themselves, and are able to mingle in a MCCAIN crowd. The MCCAINS are the real elitists—it’s funny how they stopped using that term when the media found about their many homes and Mrs. Mccain’s fortune.

I think in all honesty, both sides will twist the facts to gain an edge on the other, but Obama is the more genuine and passionate candidate.

I was there 2 minutes after this happened. The cops were right there on the spot. The McCain people were doing everything correctly and by the book. Not obstructing traffic, holding signs, offering small flyers and calling out politely things like “McCain for Manhattan” or “Good afternoon, John McCain for President.” Occasionally some angry looking older woman or very arrogant and angry looking young man would walk past us and yell over their shoulder “Go home” or “More War.” One woman did come up and say “Don’t you want the war to end?” and another yelled “Zionists.” A few young Blacks stood in the intersection and started chanting “Obama” for a couple of minutes. Most out of towners were very friendly and enthusiastic and maybe one out of four locals gave us a quick thumbs up or said something encouraging. More of the McCain support seemed to come from working class rather than people in business suits but it was spread out. A percentage of the people, maybe one in every 20, would say something like “You are brave to do this” without identifying their position.

None of the above or All of the above? So please tell me was this person a Republican or Democrat???

What I believe is that the majority of the people writing on here needs ANGER MANAGEMENT. This is just an election that happens every four years. Believe it or not we will all live thru it.

By the way, both McCain signs and Obama signs come up missing around here. Maybe Ron Paul supporters are the culprits!

POORJOE,SOME FOLK ARE GOBSMACKED,CHILLED,SOBERED that OBAMA/DNC/DEMParty saw the need to unleash its media attack stormtroopers to censor,belittle,smear,debase and SILENCE a PRIVATE U.S. citizen aka Joe-the-plumber because he VOICED his QUESTION! It may be A-OK in VZ,ZIMBABWAE,RUSSIA,IRAN,CUBA…to intimidate the citizenry,but,not here in the USA. The Obama campaign grossly miscalculated and SELF exposed today as Obama insulted the ability of skilled tradesmen to generate income and OK’d a orchestrated the anti-Joe(a PRIVATE U.S. CITIZEN) MEDIA assault.

Oct 17, 2008 - 6:24 pm 640. DeeDee Not for Obama:

Good for 478: Catherine, you are so right friend! Obama is not only a thief, but a liar and not to be trusted. His darling wife is just as evil and who paid for her schooling at Harvard? Our tax dollars, or could it be someone with the big bucks? Funny isn’t it that these Obamaites, these followers of the Obama movement won’t listen to the truth. They want what? A Muslim leader to take charge of our country and let who all in? All I can say is ‘Lord, Have mercy on us!’
According to The Book of Revelations the anti-Christ is: The anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40’s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal….the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will
promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything..
Do we recognize this description?? I STRONGLY URGE each one of you to post this as many times as you can! Each opportunity that you have to send it to a friend or media outlet..do it! I refuse to take a chance on this unknown candidate who came out of nowhere. I’m quoting from Dr. John Tisdale

Dear Friends,
Listening to a news program last night, I watched in horror as Barack Obama made the statement with pride. . .’we are no longer a Christian nation; we are now a nation of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, ..’ As with so many other statements I’ve heard him and his wife make. I never thought I’d see the day that I’d hear something like that from a presidential candidate in this nation. To think our forefathers fought and died for the right for our nation to be a Christian nation–and to have this man say with pride that we are no longer that. How far this nation has come from what our founding fathers intended it to be. I hope that each of you will do what I’m doing now–send your concerns, written simply and sincerely, to the Christians on your email list. With God’s help, and He is still in control of this nation and all else, we can show this man and the world in November that we are, indeed, still a Christian nation!

Please pray for our nation!

Maybe you can ask someone around you what you can do to make this a better place instead of going sooooo crazy!!!I hope that you have made a difference for the better today. Grow up!

Oct 17, 2008 - 6:26 pm 642. Perplexed:

I am confused by all of this drama. I know its a big deal because its the biggest election in the country but is it worth all this hate and fighting? Is this kind of behavior really going to solve anything or change anything?

I do not label myself but I have set values and ideas. I don’t believe that a room full of politicians, old white men, should be making decisions about abortion. I don’t think that the death penalty should not be handed out every other day. I think that people who are rich should not pay for everyone else to live but I think it is those same middle and working class people who are buying and working. Doesn’t the money eventually just go back to the wealthiest people anyway? Maybe I am crazy, but when these huge companies fail, the CEO’s are not the ones who are out of work and unable to pay for food. When the poorest people have more money, they give it away to buy food, pay for healthcare, and pay rent. People don’t think the richer should have to pay higher taxes yet they are getting rich and living off the work of others.

“Joe the Plumber” says its not fair that he would have to pay more in taxes because he works hard for the money and deserves it. Well here is a NEWS FLASH Joe, the people who are working for you are working hard too. It is really easy to claim that people who are poor are that way because they are lazy and stupid. That is just a way for the wealthy to make themselves sleep easier at night. If they say that poor people are that because of something they did or didn’t do, then it is their own fault and nothing to worry about. It is irresponsible and naive to believe that everyone is given a fair chance to succeed. Not everyone can go to college, not everyone can take care of their health, and not everyone can get the position they deserve. I think that civil rights are important and that racism is alive and well in America. We can’t pretend like it is not here, if you need proof, read these discussion boards. I get it, these are just a couple hundred people who have nothing better to do than try to get other people mad.

So my values fall more in line with the Democrats. Does that make me hateful and violent? Of course not, that is ignorant to say.

I also wonder who expects the majority of African Americans to vote for McCain? Obama is the first person to even have a chance of being in the White House that is not a wealthy white man and you think people aren’t going to take the opportunity to see to it that that happens? After 40 plus presidents, minorities feel like they are finally possibly being represented a little better, for the first time ever.

Oct 17, 2008 - 6:26 pm 643. Common Sense:

What I do NOT get is why the Republicans/McCain Supporters ALWAYS bitch about the “liberal media” …

If MSNBC would not cover a specific news feature you deem worthy to be covered, why do the GOP foam at the mouth ? Fox News will sure as heck cover that news item in a heartbeat …

Like Obama himself asked McCain, “Do you guys consider Fox News to be part of the Media” ? If so why all the foaming at the mouth …

If you want favorable news items for Obama go to MSNBC. If you want unfavorable coverage of Obama, go to Fox News … You can’t have it both ways … Either you want to watch worthy news or straight up “character bashing” …

Personally, I like watching ALL the media and I still have enough knowledge to make an educated choice of who I support …

The democrats are reaping what they sowed. After 8 years of lies and negative propaganda to stir up the masses they are now dealing with the consequences. All those lies about stolen elections, Bush being Hitler, Bush being stupid, America being evil, and so on ad nauseum have twisted their followers into hate mongers. I deal with it constantly here in CT. Liberals exude hatred constantly in their talk and actions. However they consider their hatred justified and see it as a good thing. That is why the MSM is so quick to react to unproven allegations of hatred from the right but seem completely oblivious to the rampant acts of hatred on the left.

After Bush won in 2003 – even the god damn NYT could only give the election to Gore if they resorted to massive cheating in every recount they tried – the democrat machine decided to use this to stir anger. So they kept this lie alive. They did it again in 2004. And they have spent the last 8 years doing their best to cause as much harm as they can because they wanted to deny Bush any kind of victory and they know that calamity favored their side. And it worked. There is a reason democrats worked so hard to have us lose in Iraq. Our economy is falling apart because bad economies help democrats win elections. Please explain to me why America should reward people that did not lose a night of sleep when they put all of us at risk and in a dire situation just so they could get power? And Obama is dead center in that despicable vortex of slimey behavior.

“What’s missing are the brown shirts, children are already singing to their leader,”

So passe yo, the new GOP thing is white sheets and ranting about commies.

Seriously, the GOP is a thousand times more cultish then then Democrats. The Dems don’t claim to be anointed by God, doing God’s work. They don’t claim to be the only true Americans. They don’t claim to be conservative then Give away trillions to corporations, the military-industrial complex, etc. They don’t play six-degrees of guilt by association, then complain when you try to point out there own shady connections *cough* LIDDY *cough*.

The Democrats aren’t out there turning political rallies into hate rallies, whipping up the fever of racists and dooms day cultists.

But hey, keep drinking the Kool-ade GOP thugs. We beat your kind in 1864, in 1945, and we can do it again if necessary.

Oct 17, 2008 - 6:36 pm 655. Joe:

I think that, as a conservative Independent New Yorker, I’ll move to a region that is more tolerant of people with different opinions. Liberalism is supposed to be based on the acceptance of all viewpoints, but instead the ideology has ZERO tolerance for any opposing points of view. Not only do many of those who subscribe to this ideology vehemently shout down the opposing ideology, as has been made clear recently in this youtube video illustrating just what happened when McCain supporters marched through the Upper West Side of Manhattan – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQalRPQ8stI – but as has disturbingly been made obvious, have now resorted to violence as a means to silence the opposition. Here in New York, I am afraid to put a McCain/Palin bumpersticker on my car for fear that some angry leftist will damage my car; these people really need to control themselves, as they have recently proved to be downright uncivilized, suggesting to me that perhaps New York City is not as tolerant as its citizens would have you believe.

To Laura T.: I support McCain in this election and take offense to your insults towards me and others, who support this true American hero. I do not vote for the party, I vote for the person. I find McCain and his life history much more admirable than that of BHO. We still have the freedom to choose the candidate we prefer in this country, despite where the mainstream media tries to lead us. I don’t understand all the hatred and insult flowing from the Democratic supporters. Violence is unnecessary. Surely, we are compassionate enough to accept a differing opinion. BTW, I could not care less that BHO is both black and white. I have never discriminated against people because of skin color. But, I’m sure you and your fellows are prepared to use that R word, should he lose the election. You will but you will not be right. It’s the questionable associations in his life history, his ideas, his extreme leftist mind-set, and his conceit.

I am extremely sad to see all of the hate filled messages. Whether McCain or Obama wins this election, I will be hopeful….. not hostile, sad, irritated or harbor any other negative emotional feelings.

We keep complaining about welfare and as a taxpaying citizen, I am as concerned as anyone. However, what would we call this bailout that we are paying for? If you received a welfare check and bought a new car or any luxury item, everyone would call foul, however when AIG spent $400,000 for a spa weekend,where were the comparisons and outrage.

I just want all of you to know that although Black people have suffered profound racism, had it not been for good,fair, honest, thoughtful white people, they would still be the ultimate targets of hate. I do not want to kill anyone, nor do I want to be killed, these angry exchanges are not helpful. Anyone chosen as President cannot really change the negative course of events without all of us chilling on the mean messages. Stop it!

Heck, do I see the polls tightening…yet again?

I’m not even a registered Rep. and I’m gonna be dragging every pal, relative and next door neighbor to the polls. Let’s see if your “huge organization of Obama election fraud ground-staff can come close to matching the unstoppable force when EVERY Rep. does that, which they surely would, considering the anger you Dems. and your beloved lib. media have aroused!

When push comes to shove, the sheer thought that this country could be run by an extreme leftist Prez., and both the House and Senate will send shudders down every independent spine when they’re standing before the ballot box!

Consider this report:

“A while back I chatted with a University of Chicago professor who was a frequent lunch companion of Obama’s. This professor said that Obama was as close to a full-out Marxist as anyone who has ever run for president of the United States.”

Scary!!!

All this is coming down to is for Americans and Joe the Pumblers to decide whether to vote the “Talker” Obama or the “Doer” McCain. It’s easy to talk the talk, but can the Big O walk the walk?

On their clearest, most coherent day, democrats are stupid evil hysterical vermin- some kind of pathology has them- invasion of the bodysnatchers?

Sad, but true, just like with a dog exposed to rabies infection, and it has progressed to the foaming at the mouth stage, and they no longer respond as the friend they once were, extreme measures are needed- for the sake of the greater good. Like the unborn to come, and the future of our nation. Sometimes, a whole generation is given a very difficult challenge. And well folks, mere weeks separate us from having to react to the hysteria that this election is about to toss upon us. I hope the pentagon is ready. I suggest you get ready too, just in case.

I want to tell the truth. It seems whenever you say something, if you are not an Obama supporter, you will be called “Racist.” “Racist” has become an effective weapon for Obama and his supporters to stop free speech, to sustain other people’s rights. This is no difference from Hitler and his supporters: a bunch of crazy, animal-behaving mobs. We can well imagine that if Obama wins this election, all of us will have to speak with one voice. We will lose our freedom of speech!

Two days ago, the local TV channel (Monterey County, CA) showed both audiences at the Republican and Democratic Headquarters watching the last presidential debate. The Obama supporters at the Democratic HQ, whenever it was
