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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 McCain’s turn to speak, would throw things at the TV. Poor TV! On the other hand, the Republican audience was very well-behaved. To my surprise, the news announcer did not make any comments. Probably he did not dare say anything, because he was afraid of being called a “Racist!”

My friends, this is very scary. My family really wants to put a McCain/Palin bumper sticker on our car, but we are afraid that our car would be vandalized. At the same time, the Obama supporters freely put signs on their cars. Is this equal freedom of speech for all Americans?

My friends, please vote for McCain and Palin! Please DON’T vote for Obama, a socialist, who will turn America into a socialist country. He will adopt the socialist system that has been abandoned by Russia and China. We won’t have a good life under Obama! McCain is different from Bush! He will do a good job in economy and national security. We will be much better off and safer if McCain becomes our president!

Actually it’s the prime example of the type of dialogue the left routinely uses to ‘persuade’ people to vote for Obama. Assault and battery, rudeness, insults, and juvenile behavior, these are the trademarks of the left. Mr. Vote Obama hopes that we’ll buy his ‘both sides are bad’ equivalence. Experience is our teacher, and we believe our lying eyes, Mr. Vote Obama. The creeps are all lefty creeps.

ACORN, Ayers, the racist Rev. Wright, and others all of the same socially diseased ilk fit neatly with the left standards of behavior. Ideology is their ‘morality’.

The result, subprime morgages the people couldn’t pay back. So began the collapse of the global system. Socialism at its best. If people were more educated, they would know the truth !

You attack Obama as being a terrorist, because of his skin color? Lets say he is Muslim, does that mean he is a terrorist that hates America because all Muslim’s hate America?

After making these equations and accusations, McCain’s group marches down minority streets and is so shocked when violence erupts and they are not welcome. I do not condone violence, but don’t act stupid then wonder why bad things happen!

Violence is not okay, not not not okay. I don’t agree with hitting anyone, this guy was wrong and he should be punished. Freedom of speech is important but take responsibility for yourself. Make a sign with racial slurs against blacks and hispanics then walk with it through an all black or hispanic neighborhood. Then when you get beat up or killed, ask God WHY ME??????????

Yep, that’s right: OBAMA SUPPORTERS AND SURROGATES are the ones that have injected race into this campaign.
Don’t believe me?

Hillary Clinton was attacked for being racially insensitive for comparing LBJ and MLK.
Bill Clinton was attacked for saying the idea Obama has a superior anti-war record was the “biggest fairytale I’ve ever seen.”
Bill Shaheen was attacked for saying Obama’s druggie past could be a big issue in the general election.
Sarah Palin was attacked for making the 100% accurate claim that Obama pals around with terrorists.
McCain was attacked for referring to Obama as “that one.”
McCain’s Paris Hilton ad was called racist because it had a white woman in it.
The NewYorker parody cover was attacked as racist.
Anyone that uses Obama’s god given middle name is attacked as being racist.
Hillary Clinton’s 3AM ad was called racist.
Another Hillary Clinton ad was called racist because ALLEGEDLY Obama appeared slightly darker in it.
David Patterson said Rudy Guiliani, Sarah Palin and Fred Thompson’s use of the word “community organizer” was code word for black man.
Harry Reid claimed it was racist for McCain to have an anti-Obama ad with Franklin Raines of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac infamy in it. (It doesn’t matter that the Washington Post reported Raines was advising Obama on housing issues.)
Barney Frank says it’s racist to criticize the Democrats mismanagement and poor oversight over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The big daddy of all race baiting though was John Lewis’s disgusting comparison between McCain/Palin and George Wallace.
I could offer example after example of Obama supporters and surrogates attacking Obama supporters as racist and/or being racially insensitive.
So please, SPARE ME the “America just can’t handle a black man becoming President” garbage.
The vast majority of Americans are FINE with a black man becoming president. What they DON’T like though is being accused of racism every time they say or do something that is unflattering about Obama.

With McCain, we know what we will get, with Obama, I just dont know. If we really want to change our country and the way things are going for us as people, we have to start researching and voting in our Representative and Congressmen who are really working for us instead of their campagin contributors. The President can only do so much! One person in our government can not change the path we are headed down. I pity whoever gets the job because they have a HUGE mess in front of them.

This article hardly comes as a surprise. The liberals will do anything it takes to win this election, especially voter fraud. They will come up with every reason why this guy did the right thing. They are opposed to the death penalty, but have no problem with live birth abortion or perpetrating violence upon those who disagree with them. I fully expect that the “Support voter fraud,vote Democrat” bumper sticker will be torn off my car.

It is safe to assume that the blacks will riot no matter who wins the election.

And when it comes to my experience with liberal democrat lefties, they are hateful, violent and would prefer to see a decent honest conservative dead then trying their best to straighten things out. Obama has 0 ability to lead except for what the commie friends have taught hi, tax, tax, intimidate, tax some more and supress free thought and free speech.

McCain does not equate Obama with terrorism. It’s simply a fact that Obama has friends who happen to be terrorists.

Obama also has supporters who happen to be violent thugs. Obama’s supporters are the ones who are attacking innocent people just for expressing their personal views.

About 1 months ago I observed some of Lord Obamas disciples stapling huge posters of his visage on EVEY telepone pole for nearly two miles on a major street where I live.n I waited until they were a few blocks ahead then begab to remove them. I knew if they saw me I would jave most likely been beaten half to death. The next morning, I removed over 300 signs in the safety of daylight. You would have been amazed at how many people asked me why I was removing the signs. AND THESE SIGNS WERE IN A PREDOMINATELY BLACK AREA OF THE CITY!!!! WHY??? The Obamanation didn’t need any more advertising here. I honsetly was creeped out at having to look at so many images of Dear Leader.
I, too, believe there will be riots when high lowliness loses.

Then watch what will come when he starts supporting Humas Terrorists, changing our US flag, burning our original ones, doing away with Our Pledge of allegiance, our basic laws to support us in perilious times will be totaled.

After spending nearly an hour reading various comments, it amazes me that it has turned into a racists campaign by the left. It really boyles down to who is qualified, and not the color of the persons skin. But that is what the Dems want you to think. They will do anything to win (Acorn). What happened to morals and values? I guess we are suppose to overlook relationships (Ayers) and memberships (Wright)and act like those things didn’t matter. You Obama supporters like to call it racists because that makes you feel better. Personally, I don’t like either one, but I definately know who is more qualified and who would not lead us into socialism like the european countries. If you want to lose your freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and have all the wackos like Palosi controlling our country… Don’t be ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ you Christians!

Then I stumbled upon these comments.

At what point in our nations history did so many conservatives become so angry and gain such a distorted view of reality.

Guns have never been the answer to any domestic problem in this country, and the right has been the side manipulating elections in the recent history of this country.

I am glad I stand with the intellectuals in this nations, both liberal and conservative, because this mindless banter and hate for the other side is scary.

I do not hate conservatives, not have i ever, some of my closest friends are real conservatives, and at this point are ashamed of being associated with most of the mindless people who post here.

Educate your selves and discontinue the petty name calling that served president bush’s campaign so well.

One last question. Bush is a conservative through and through and had 6yrs with a republican senate and house. Where did that get us? And how many liberals did you see spouting off about buying guns?

“’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.”

Hard work isn’t the only issue. It’s also a matter of risk.
The owner takes the risk with his/her money, time, investment, etc. the worker doesn’t. The worker gets whatever he/she’s been contracted for. The owner could lose it all if circumstances don’t go his/her way.
If we want our economy to grow than we need to encourage more people to take those types of risks. That is, we need to encourage entrepreneurship. That’s how new jobs are created and new products and services become available.
THAT is why I’m voting for McCain over Obama: McCain’s tax policies (cutting the capital gains tax and corporate tax) are pro-growth, pro-entrepreneurhsip, pro-business expansion, etc.
Obama’s tax policies are pro-consumer spending (in addition to pro-welfare state expansion via his mythical 95% “tax cut”) which is the last thing we need right now. Too much of our economy is driven by consumer spending (approx 70%). Consumer spending enabled by too much debt is what created many of the economic problems we face now. What we NEED are new and better jobs. Obama’s plan to raise capital gains and corporate taxes will not just kill new job growth but actually lead to FEWER jobs.
Don’t believe me?
Here are 100 economists, included 5 Nobel Prize winners, that do:

I lived in Alaska for 16 years, and many a poor family ate good through the winter because someone went out and bagged them a moose. Caribou is good too. If that’s the worst you can call her, then she can’t be so bad. In fact, I know Sarah and worked with her on some projects when she was the Mayor of Wasilla, so until you know what your talking about, quit throwing your words around cause you think it makes you look like you know something, when actually it makes you look like a fool. Sarah is the real deal. I can say that cause I know for sure. All the rest of you McCain/Palin haters are just hot air.

for one person’s perspective on how you can make a decision to support Obama AND vote for John McCain. Feel free to forward this to any “undecided” voters you know of. This will be a VERY close election and we need every single vote we can get.

Demonizing Obama will get us a few votes (and also lose us at least a few votes) but I hope that a rational, positive thought process will persuade a few people who are still on the fence.

Nor should it be twisted to “only love those neighbors that agree with everything I want”.

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.

Before this presidential campaign I was like you. I believed the rightwing attack machine were the bad ones. THEY were the ones destroying politics in our country. Democrats, espeically LIBERAL Democrats Good. Republicans, especially CONSERVATIVE Republicans Bad.
Everything was black and white. There were good guys and bad guys.

But watching the behavior of many Obama supporters through the course of this year has completely changed my mind. I know realize that the left is just as capable of intolerance, hypocrisy, cruelty, viciousness, and inhumanity as the right.
There’s no pure ideology. Just because you think your INTENTIONS are pure (as many liberal Dems do) doesn’t mean you are justified in engaging in end justifies the means type behavior. Actions are far more important than intentions or mere words. Don’t lose your sense of right versus wrong and your innate humanity in the name of electing a man President.

Just because I find his policies appalling it doesn’t make me a racist. I highly recommend not using you typical talking points when trying to argue the innocence of Obama. You sound ignorant and naive. There is still no proof that Obama was born in Hawaii. His Kenyan Grandmother has stated on several occasions (and on record) that Obama was born in Kenya. Also, his birth certificate’s seal is not real…..so that makes me wonder what’s going on. Plus, is sister said he was born at one hospital in Hawaii and he has said himself that he was born at a different hopsital.

You want Change, huh? Well, if Obama’s elected, get ready for the worst kind of change you could ever imagine…unless of course you don’t work, collect welfare and depend on hard working American’s to take care of you….then you’re still going to be in the same place you’re at now.

I am sure it’s not just one party being subjected to this. But I do see more bias reporting on the McCain campaign than I see on Obama’s.

If there is violence after the election, it will be only as a result of McCain and Palin’s irresponsible rhethoric which already is stirring up anger and hatred. In the present case, what we obviously have here is one emotionally unstable, probably clinically depressed individual who, for all we know, has lost everything thanks to the egregious mismanagement of this country the Bush Administration.

I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to find out the whole ordeal had been staged by McCain supporters, the guy could be a McCain groupie who pretended to be a liberal to cause an issue for the Obama campaign. With the campaign McCain/Palin have been running it would not at all surprise me to find out it was all planned and staged.

The Obama corps of chekists have all their different departments, with a common mission. Each specializes in a different kind of op. Some engage in destroying the life of private citizens who ask uncomfortable questions. They know how to ply office workers and get them to hand over information.

Others are less subtle individuals and like to practice the art of street warfare and inflict physical harm and property damage.

Others burrow deep into government institutions and are lawyers who subvert the law and enable voter fraud.

Lets have the real story as reported. The man was a McCain plant, trying to stir up more controversy for Obama. Just like the black man that he gave the microphone to at his rally and the man told McCain he was taking an “a** whoopin” for supporting McCain. Since when does McCain let a black man, the only black person, have a front row seat at his rally and then give him the microphone? Only one that he has vetted, (too bad he never vetted Palin or Joe the not a plumber, owe back taxes, real name Sam) Turns out the guys a conservative radio host that advertises to hire him for any event to get the results you want. Too bad it didn’t work his cover was blown just like this street corner plant.

With your low intelligence and poor grades, you got into Princeton through Affirmative Action! You really have taken full advantage of this country!

I apologize, for the man, who hurt you both physically, and mentally. That behavoir is wrong, always wrong, no matter who does it.

This reporter is bias, politically, however. Often I get characterised as a liberal, but am a democrat, once Hillary supporter, and right after I voted early in the primary an Obama supporter. It was Michelle Obama’s words that influenced me the most about her husband. Which were, “we can disagree without being disagreeable.”

Among the democratic blogs, and forums to which I subscribe, voilence and any kind of nasty retort has been condemned.

I am an Arizonan, familiar with Senator Mc Cain. Senator Mc Cain has not supported his constiuents, only big business here, special interests, this is a fact. He has won by popularity for the charm that he once exuded. However, this campaign and those who have been advising him, have made the campaign the nastiest that has ever been known to me in my 60 years on this planet. The fact that Mc Cain has never, til recently after pressure from his own party, apologized or corrected any of his supporter.

Palin is continuing her lies about Obama. She is continuing to create a hostile presidential race. This is not just my opinion, it is well known public opinion, not the press, ask the folks anywhere. Think that most of you would agree to this.

We can not blame Obama for this tragedy, but blame should be looked, if any, toward who is continuing the atomsphere.

In my opinion, and gathered from friends who are staunch republican, Mc Cain will not get reelected in this state, for the behavoir that he has projected in this race for presidency. We Arizonan’s not only have been insulted by his not serving us, special interests only, but this display of provoking fear, by creating that atomsphere.

There will be no race riots, why give thought to that. Why not be thinking of how you are going to influence this next administration, about the things that are personally important to you. Which doesn’t include wall street, and bigger gov issues. It means how you will help pay your grandchilds college expenses, how you are going to retire, your health care, etc.

Article like this jar the emotions of the voting community, not quite as bad as this phsycial assault, but mentaly, very much similiar.

2008NY068331

The initials match, the defendant’s age and sex match, the precinct number matches, and the arrest date matches. It is interesting what you get if you do a web search of that defendant’s name (particularly what you might find in the Federal Communications Commission docket).

Selective reporting is the trend with NBC. I say that majority of the media probably is in this “fear” to get sued by the Obama campaign just like some of us fearing to post McCain/Palin sign. It is apparent that with Obama, our Freedom will be selective; any ideals against Obama will be considered ‘evil’,'racist’,and ‘unconstitutional’. Hopefully we’ll have the right choice in the seat overcoming all this ‘union’ tactics used by the Obama campaign supporters.

Oct 17, 2008 - 8:32 pm 757. jim:

I have never read so much nonsense in my life. Some moron named Phil is so stupid, he doesn’t even know when a writer is being sarcastic. Out here in California, the FBI is investigating an organization hired by the RNC, on charges of voter fraud, but that doesn’t appear in the so called liberal media. John McCain was on the board of an organization that financed death squads who tortured, raped and murdered US citizens in Central America, but not much on that one either. You straw chewing, hick, mensa members can cry and moan all you want, but your days of ruining my country are over. And for all you gun owners, when I took my firearm safety course, the first thing I was taught was: never point a weapon at anyone except in self defense. That includes loaded, empty and toy weapons. Have you seen the picture of the pit bull from the ice age pointing her weapon at the camera? And she supposedly knows how to handle a weapon. Give me a break.

Oct 17, 2008 - 8:37 pm 758. Whoa:

What a bunch of crazies on here. An Obama supporter assaulted a McCain volunteer and guess what? The guy got arrested. That’s how it’s supposed to work. His right to free speech ended at her nose. That’s how the system is designed and it worked. People at a rally screaming “Kill him” and “off with his head” in reference to a candidate running for public office? Yeah, that also needs to be investigated to see if a crime was committed. Jeez.

As much as you would all like to believe that the only people voting for Obama are communists, socialists, terrorists, gay, etc. etc.

Take a look at the polls. Obama has a sizable lead in all polls (even Fox News’ poll…that unbiased pillar of journalism). That means that a majority of folks, by your logic, are gay, communist, etc. Some things to ponder:

~ 80% of American economists feel that Obama is better prepared to lead our nation out of this economic crisis.
~ There have been a number (still not a majority of them by any stretch) of Republican commentators/journalists/thought leaders who have either defected to Obama or even been as bold to suggest that Sarah Palin step down because they feel she is unqualified for the post she is seeking and she is hurting McCain’s chances in this election.
~ The attacks on Obama regarding Ayers and now ACORN only surface now (this month) as McCain has continued to slide in the polls. So this is current news or a desperate campaign attempting anything to turn the tide?
~ The investigations to date have revealed that the registration fraud (NOT VOTER FRAUD) that has occured to date has been perpetrated against ACORN not by ACORN. These are people who are basically defrauding their company to get paid. ACORN is required by law to submit all registration forms they get so as not to intentionally or mistakenly keep legitimate folks from being registered. What they aren’t required to do but do anyway is to verify the forms they get and flag those forms they find to be fraudulent so the state elections boards can more easily root out bogus forms. Federal prosecutors in Seattle commended ACORN for helping them prosecute their own employees for submitting false forms. ACORN not only fires employees they find have done this but they also help prosecute the offenders. Yeah…they are such an evil organization.
~ I know people who have had their cars keyed, bumper stickers scratched off, and other damage done to their property for displaying a democratic sign or bumper sticker. This gate swings both ways in our polarized society I’m afraid.
~ I wanted McCain over both Bush and Gore in 2000 but unfortunately the sleezy political attacks of Bush’s operatives took that opportunity away from me by calling McCain mentally damaged and starting a whisper campaign that he had fathered an illegitimate black daughter right before the South Carolina primary. McCain quit his campaign right after that primary. Unfotunately McCain sold his soul and hired the same A-holes to try to destroy Obama via the same methods. Either he forgot the blinding rage he felt after being treated that way in 2000 or he decided, “If you can’t beat them…join them.” Very disappointing.
~ I have republican friends, educated republican friends, who have switched over to vote for Obama. The things that turned them were: 1) The selection of Palin as his running mate and her embarrassing performances in unscripted performances, 2) His erractic behavior and statements (”I’m not strong on economics”, “The fundamentals of the American economy are strong”, “I am cancelling my campaign to return to Washington”) You may think that no true republicans can vote for Obama but you would be wrong. My boss is one as well. His thought? He wants to, in his words, “See the current republican party completely implode, destroyed…nothing left….so that it can reform as the party that I knew and loved. Fiscally responsible, and stayed out of people’s personal lives.” My boss? He’s a former Army Ranger Captain. Weak, lefty, socialist he’s not. He’s just tired, like many of us, with how the republican party has devolved into knee jerk religious conservatism.

And just to dispell any of the usual misperceptions I:

- Am married with two small kids (read here “not gay”)
- Make over $100K (not on food stamps or receiving any other government largess).
- Have a masters degree (not the unwashed, uneducated masses)
- Am pro death penalty.
- Am anti illegal immigration.

By the way, Bush and his treasury secretary infused money into the banking system (socialism?), and both parties voted for the $700 billion bailout plan. Neither party embraces socialism but they are well aware of the stark realities of the financial catastrophe our nation faces. Personally I would rather have our government buy stakes in banks that have a very good chance of turning a profit than just buying toxic debt on that will probably never be above water. Same with McCain’s 12th hour plan to buy bad mortgages up. Isn’t that a socialist play anyway? You may say no…but there were many fiscal conservatives who cringed big time over that one.

My point of this long diatribe is: There is a wide spectrum of folks votng for both candidates. To type cast either side as “all like this or that” is short sighted and basically ignorant. But go ahead….have at me…let the screaming rants begin.

Frankly,3( 2 are lawyers )senators on the ticket is a bit unsettling thought,at least Governor Palin has the experince of running a state. Some may say,it was only for 2 years yet, Sen.Obama has been on senate duties for only 140+ days and he is running for the highest office in the world.

Please get your facts straight before you start shooting right and left. Obviously, no matter what is said, many people around here have made up their minds.

I would like to remember the day and time when Obama started talking about race in his campaign. It is all a figment of some people’s imagination when they saw their candidates losing. Hillary used it and now McCain is using it. You forgot to mention what Billy Clinton said,”Obama played the race card on me.” What was the context that led to that? It is just the fact that Hillary was losing and oh brother, let us find a factor to blame for such loss. Oh, it is racism, sounds good! Now McCain are singing, “Oh poor Hillary, she was a victim for race.”

Wake up people! What the heck are you thinking? This is America NOT Iraq where Shiite and Sunni Muslims hate and kill one another for just being born Shiites and being born Sunnis. Oh, I forgot, McCain and his supporters may still not know the difference between Shiite and Sunnis Let us ask Mrs. Palin!

Let us be smart, for a change, and not choose our president because of their skin colors or body parts.

Dear folks, here is a test…

Can anyone point out and legislation that Mr. Obama has authored, carried and helped pass that did ANYthing at all?

Can anyone provide SPECIFICS relative to Mr. Obama’s legislative career where he led a cause that was even leaning towards bi-partisan?

Can anyone provide any cogent FACT BASED reason(s) why we should elect Mr. Obama other than “change” and “spread the wealth”?

Can anyone provide the amount of Pork-Barrel monies that Mr. Obama has taken in his short (18 months in the position prior to the start of campaign “08) I’ll give you the answer – 97.4 MILLION. Disgusting. That’s OVER $183,000 a day that he worked in the Senate.

I worked hard for my money, you should work hard for yours. If you need help I suggest getting a better job, going to school and EARNING a degree in any productive (not Women’s Studies or Liberal Studies and the like) field. Once you have that education, paid your dues and EARNED your pay-grade, then you can move into my neighborhood and drive luxury cars while not worring about how your next month’s bills will be met. Why, you will have saved your money while earning a higher than average living BECAUSE YOU EARNED IT! That is until the left and Mr. Obama, or the next “one” comes to power and redistributed it away to the lazy piece of shi* who has their hand out for Government to pay their way and provide what they need to get off their lazy, unproductive butts to earn themselvs!

I’m tired of the barely out of GED testing, if they made it that far, group complaining about how much they don’t earn and that we (those who earn the most in this country) owe them something. I do NOT owe anyone but my parent’s and immediate family anything at all. Go get a job – or – go get a better job and do what the rest of us did – EARN IT.

I will say this, please vote. Regardless of who you vote for, please vote. I think you can tell who I suggest you vote for and whom I am voting for!

Are you nuts, she doesnt believe in evolution, science teaching, she banned books, fought the endangered species act and doesnt believe in birth control? Who drag’s a 3 month old baby around and shows him to the camera while bulbs flash in his face, so people can see he’s retarded, that’s sick. Madonna said she’d kick her ass? Someone should !!!

A lot of people are bringing up very good points why the polls are so off. Admit you are a McCain supporter and you are a racist. Tell an Obamessiah pollster what you really think about the candidate, and you get a visit from the Secret Service for a “death threat”. Put a McCain/Palin sign up at your place of business and expect a visit from a NAACP lawyer. Ask a “hard” question of the Messiah, as a regular Joe Plumber, and you get a Roto-Rooter of your entire personal life and history. Heck, I fully expect some socialist to ferret out who I am, just from this comment, and try to have the military discipline me for daring to use my right of free speech. Well, sorry to disappoint, but this comment is my own opinion and not that of the DoD, nor do I propose to speak on behalf of the DoD. There, nice and legal. Now go ahead and attack my freedom of speech, try to silence me, it’s what I have come to expect from those who take for granted the right I’ve given 21 years of my life to protect.

How can you possibly blame that on Obama’s campaign, or say that they endorsed it any way?

The comments “Terrorist!” and “Traitor!” and “Kill him!” were shouted at a RALLY that the despicable nitwit Palin was holding… and she did and said nothing to calm anyone down.

McCain and Palin are dishonest swiftboat-favoring assholes who take cheap shots at Obama at every opportunity, and if they do by some miracle manage to win this election?

I think he said something to the effect of I will kill before i see a nigger in the white house. pick your poison it is here and as long as we have people like yourself and the Mccain Palin ticket inciting racist actions, then it is only going to continue.

The same tactic with Joe the Plumber next day we find out how big a lie he told and who put him up to it. I have to believe the people of this country are smarter than this but then again there are people on this blog that are saying doom and gloom for America if Obama is elected and their agenda is win by any means possible. they stole the election in 2000 so now they are mad and almost crazy to do again… NOTE TO ALL THE HATERS HERE AMERICA WITHSTOOD EIGHT YEARS OF “W” AND DIDN’T TURN INTO BEYOND THUNDERDOME IT WILL STAND THIS TEST ALSO AND IN WORDS OF VERY GOOD FRIEND OF MINE ” ONLY IN AMERICA”

Really, there is no comparison of this incident with the Palin charges that she has been making lately. The fact is that she is fueling the fire, and yet no one seems to stand up in this country and demand more respect.

I can’t believe that somehow the actions of one individual become representative of a whole group of persons. That is something that we as Americans need to address, our wolf-pack mentality that somehow rears ups. Not all liberals are terrorists and the suggestion is laudable.

I would suggest that you read up on the background of both candidates. Obama is a candidate for the people, and was President of the prestigious Harvard Law Review, top in his class and a highly intelligent and articulate individual. I am appalled at your suggestions and the media who are trying to somehow question the character of this candidate.

Perhaps, this has more to do with race than most would like to admit.

All the media, every talk show is for Obama, but, that is not enough, now, any McCain supporter has to be attacked, especially, a middle aged lady, boy, it must make Obama and Joe Biden proud. It is sickening, but, just like the tactics the Democrats are employing.

I was on the fence on who I was going to vote for, no more, the unfairness of it all makes me sick, as described above!

I wouldn’t vote for Obama for dogcatcher of Chicago, considering his attitude, Obama’s known ties with Ayers the conviceted terrorist (even though he.Ayers got it thrown out, he did the crimes and plenty more, he admitted it too, he and his wife are crooks and terrorists, also, socialists and or communists and has and will have a great influence on Obama, if, Obama is elected president, look for Reverend Wright to join Obama too, God, there should be a law agaiNSt those two being allowed in the USA) along with Michelles Obama working with Ayers wife (just as big a terrorists as her husband) for years too, along with the Reverend Wright fiasco! Lets see, Obama and Michelle, for 20 years attending Reverend Wright’s church, while Revernd Wright was “mentoring” Obama and Michelle for 20 years, baptized both of Obama’s children and “none” of Reverend “racist rants”, damning America and whitey, and Obama or Michelle or the children never heard any of them?

It all does not pass the smell test, then, there is the land deal, with the crook, a 300K plus deal to Obama’s favor, with that crook that just got convicted. Give me a break!

Obama never answers a question directly, always a nuanced answer, or, stemmed in legaleze (as in sleeze)!

Well,I guess being honest and forthright, is really above Obama’s pay grade. It is not above Sen. John McCain’s pay grade though.

But, then again, if I vote for John McCain, being a white man, I am called a racist, but, if a black man, which, 98% are voting for Obama, votes for Obama, JUST BECAUSE HE IS BLACK, it is cool, give me a break! I am voting for who I think has the better experience, honesty and character, which, is John McCain, hands up!

If, John McCain was black, I would still vote for him, if, Gen. Colin Powell was running for president, I would vote for him 100 % and he is black, but, he is qualified too, being the former head of the armed forces, Sec. of State and other high postions in this Country, it is not a matter of race, it is a matter of competence, in my opinion!

No more need to put on the act of being civilized, cultured, open minded, tolerant… etc. No more need to accuse the conservatives of being “rednecks.” Soon, the liberals will be able to act with impunity and completely unrestrained lawlessness.

Go back and rewatch the movie, “Gangs of New York” about the political corruption of Tammanay Hall. Consider the corruption of Daly’s Chicago Democrat political machine. These are the models of what the NATIONAL government will be under Democrat control.

Seriously, go try to have any kind of disagreement and explain why socialism does not work on huffington or kos and your post gets deleted before it even gets posted. I suppose they let a few nonsense posts through, but They, like the Obama campaign, don’t want honest open dialouge. They want anyone who disagrees with them, especially in a clear cut understandable sensible way, like say Joe the plumber, to be silenced. Witness trying to shut down radio stations, witness the Obama truth squads made up of sheriffs and prosecutors threatening to take care of people who say things Obama doesn’t approve of, witness the FBI being sent to peoples homes who told fundraisers if they said they were not voting for Obama, Witness the treatment of Joe the plumber and Sarah Palin….this is what we can expect more of, these are the champions of the fairness doctrine, like they have in Venezula, China and other communist countries. Those who disagree must not be allowed to reach the ears of the people, must know that their lives will be destroyed if they even try, they will be called racist if they disagree or question Obama in any way, and certainly can look forward to being audited at the very least. These bullying tactics are serious.

I KNOW I’VE HEARD OBAMA SAY, ATLEAST FOUR TIMES, THAT HE WILL CUT TAXES ON 95% OF WORKING AMERICANS; WHICH IS THE MIDDLE AND LOWER CLASSES. I GUESS MCCAIN DOESN’T CONSIDER THOSE PEOPLE WHEN HE STILL CONSISTENTLY STATES THAT OBAMA WILL RAISE YOUR TAXES. AHH THAT EXPLAINS IT; MCCAIN CAN ONLY CONNECT TO THOSE MAKING 250k PER YEAR OR MORE.

LOOK AT THE TEMPERAMENTS OF THESE TWO MEN AND DECIDE WHO HAS YOU IN MIND AND WHO IS MOST FOCUSED ON THE PEOPLE, INSTEAD OF THEMSELVES. HAVE YOU LISTENED TO BOTH MENS SPEECHES? HAVE YOU PAID ATTENTION TO THE IMPORTANT ISSUES THAT FACE US? DID YOU WATCH THE DEBATES?

YOU ALL ARE SO QUICK TO JUMP TO JUDGEMENT. THIS IS WHY AMERICA WILL NEVER CHANGE. WITH OUR ECONOMY IN SHAMBLES AND PEOPLE LOOSING HOMES AND JOBS……MCCAIN IS TOO BUSY ATTACKING THE WRONG PROBLEMS. AMERICAS PROBLEMS ARE MUCH BIGGER THAN MCCAIN ATTACKING OBAMA. HE RATHER ATTACK THAN TO DEAL WITH OUR ISSUES, BUT RATHER LOOK GOOD BY “SUSPENDING HIS CAMPAIGN TO RETURN TO WASHINGTON”, WHAT, TO GET MORE ILL GAINED CREDIT FOR SOMETHING THAT HE DID NOT DO HIMSELF. MCCAIN IS A ME ME ME KIND OF OLD MAN, CONTRARILY, OBAMA IS A WE WE WE TYPE OF CHARACTER, AND IN THIS MOMENT AT THIS TIME, WE NEED AN EXPERIENCED, DIEHARD COMMUNITY LEADER TO LEAD AND REBUILD THIS NATION AND ECONOMY FROM THE GROUND UP WITH A NEW SET OF CORE PRINCIPALS…..WE ARE OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS KEEPERS, REGARDLESS OF RACE, COLOR OR CREED; WE ARE ALL AMERICANS. MCCAIN RATHER ASSUME THAN LISTEN AND TO ENFORCE HIS ILL FADED POLICY IDEAS TO THE VERY END, THIS IS NOT THE 50′S THIS IS A NEW DAY AND AGE AND POWER WILL SHIFT IN THIS COUNTRY BECAUSE OUR ISSUES AS A NATION CALLS FOR IT.

OUR FOUNDING FOREFATHERS HAD AN IDEA THAT ALL IS FOR ONE AND ONE IS FOR ALL. MCCAIN DOESN’T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND THIS CONCEPT BECAUSE HE WOULD RATHER THE LESS FORTUNATE SUFFER WHILE JOE THE PLUMBER GETS A TAX CUT, BY THE WAY, HE MAKES $250k PER YEAR AFTER PAYING EMPLOYEES……….SPREADING THE WEALTH IS THE ONLY WAY TO SUCCEED AS A NATIONAL.

Wow!!! Obviously, most of the posts on this board are from Republican/Mc Cain supporters. These posts sound just as violent and hateful as the Obama/Left/Lib people you accuse of the same. Talking about buying guns… you’re not talking about going on an innocent hunting trip… calling others worthless, lazy, ignorant, whores and worse. Saying we don’t work… I have news; we are the “worker bees” that make your high and mighty life possible. We are the ones who build your fancy cars and homes, the ones who make sure your electricity or cable gets working when it’s gone out, the ones who collect your money at the bank, the ones who cook your five star steak dinner…
Who are the violent, vulgar, judgmental ones? It’s you, the constant hypocrite!

Let’s face it… It’s really the Republicans/Conservatives who are the hate and warmongers, wanting to push their right wing, sometimes racist, closed-minded, holier than thou values and views on everyone who does not believe the same.
THIS IS AMERICA, where freedom and personal choice is supposed to be the norm. A melting pot where we are told as children that anyone can grow up to be president… that notion could very well become fact on Nov 4th!!

I welcome change… I’m tired of the rich getting richer and poor getting poorer. We should all be able to enjoy some sense of security.
I’m sickened that the present administration has destroyed our economy and has our deficit at an all time high, (after Clinton fixed the last deficit… thanks Bush 1 and 2 and thanks McCain for voting with them)
I’m saddened and ashamed of the people who can’t put color or class aside and can’t believe that someone like Obama might actually be a viable choice.
I’m disgusted that McCain chose Palin as his running mate, solely for the purpose of getting the Clinton vote. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for a woman Pres or Vice but come on… there are many other women and men who are much more qualified. Just watch the YouTube videos of the Katie Curic/Palin interviews, hilarious! Sorry right-wingers… he really screwed you on that one and showed his lack of good judgment. Open your eyes and your mind people!

Now before you start trashing me for my views, I’ll tell you that I am a married, 40 something, white female, without a crack habit or mental issues as you would suggest. I have a successful business whose taxes may go up however, I feel for my children who are just starting out, for my employees who are struggling. This is the time for sacrifice not your snobby, greedy, hateful ways.

OK folks… ready, set, go! Tear me down. But remember it might be the “left-wingers” and middle class who get the last laugh. Peace.

This man’s actions were obviously deplorable, but let’s be clear. The violence and division has clearly been encouraged by McCain’s idiotic running-mate Sara Palin. It’s sad to say, but on Nov 4th I truly expect the polls in some areas of the country to look like a hockey game. When people feel comfortable screaming “Kill Him” about the opposing presidential candidate during speeches by the Palin and McCain….there is a real problem. And the problem is that McCain and Palin believe that it is okay to OPENLY use bigotry and intolerence as a means of winning the election. Whether you support Obama or not, you have to acknowledge that the tone of McCain’s campaign since the additional of Palin to his ticket is a disgrace. Since he is the head of the ticket and not second in command, what does that say about how he would lead the country? True integrity is never for sale…not even when the prize is the presidency!

At present we really don’t even own our own country, we are mortgage to hilt with China holding the ticket. incidently, JL is John Lewis (Louis). If it things are left to the backward and ignorant people of this country slavery would be re enacted. You must remember we did not ask to come to this country, we were sold or stolen from our land and brought here, not as so called indentured servants but as slaves. We basically built this country, and, guess what? we learned how to read inspite of you and we taught ourselves values and dignity. We were victims of rape and forced incest, victimized by the pro americans, our children were not permitted the same and equal education that the priviledged whites were. Obama, is exceptional, in that he used what little the government had to offer him to achieve his status. I am sorry if you didn’t, that is your problem. don’t hate!

When Sarah P made her comment today about being pro, hardworking americans, I wonder if she was referring to Black Americans. Do you not know that there are more White americans per capita in many regions that receive government aid.

This country is a melting pot of all nationalities with varied ethnic backgrounds and in order for it to continues as a world leader we must learn to live together in peace and not ethnic strife. Let me pep you up on some other issues.

the keating 5, the savings and loan scandal that nearly backrupted the state of arizona, and, let us not forget the election and the hanging chads in florida. Note,the fact that mccain actually was a traitor and gave information to the vietnamese, and this makes him a war heroe. What color was the blood that was shed in vietnam, was it not from all ethnic groups. What makes him special, was he the only prisioner of war.

my brother died in nam, i have 2 sons active duty now, one navy and one on the ground in iraq as we speak. what make them special, this was their choice to serve their country and they know full well the risk. one was on the lincoln headed home and was turned around in and sent back to fight a useless war.
a war that is costing us billions, money that could be best spent at home.
the arab nation is sitting back and laughing at us because we have become our own worst enemy. a nation divided will not and cannot stand.
get over the man’s color and vote your with what you feel is appropriate for this country.

stop being a hate monger, war monger, moose murder, moose skinner and please stop comparing winky to hilary clinton, she is not even close.
Imagine if something should happen to Mccain, how will SP manage to run this country when she can’t even run her own family. Do more research before you make your choice, I know how many houses I have

Hey Uprising, take a breath, and stop yelling. Your point isn’t any more correct if you yell. We’re not brainwashed, just tired of working our way through high school, college, graduate school and beyond, while some sit on their rears and are happy not working, just looking to collect. I don’t mind paying the enormous taxes I do, I just don’t want to be paying for everyone! Do you get it? It’s the money I earned. I’ll share it with the organizations I see fit. Yesterday where I live they began to give government money to kids for grades. That’s like giving kids candy to keep them quiet. It may work for a while, but eventually when they don’t get paid anymore, you find they have no desire to work anymore. It’s been done before, doesn’t work. These kids need parents. Obama’s answer is to pay Dad’s to stay with their kids. The problem with that is, will they have more kids to collect more money? And are the kids better off with a parent who only stays because he’s getting paid? Sounds like a bad plan and waste of money. Get and education and a job and earn the money. There are plenty of public schools and lots of financial aid available, no more excuses. Earn the money, get some pride and become self sufficient, that’s the lasting answer!!

Notice how the media believes it’s their self righteous duty to “vet” Joe Plumber but makes no attempt in the past 24 months to do the same on their own candidate, Obama?!

As dangerous a president (small “p” intended) that I believe Obama would be, more discouraging to me would be the thought that a majority of Americans would be duped into electing him. What a sad reflection on our country that would be!! On the other hand, considering the clear evidence of voter fraud via ACORN and other groups, I will never be assured that Obama, should he “win”, did so legitimately.

And, do not dare call me a racist. As I told a friend of mine after hearing her gush about Obama and trashing Palin with, “I’m all for women, just not that woman”, I responded with, “I’m all for black men, just not that black man”. Seriously, I’d vote for Michael Steele of Maryland in a heartbeat.

What about all the people who have made movies, statements and tee shirts about assasinating President Bush? WHat about the Abort Palin bumper stickers and shirts? What about the shirts with a picture of Palin being punched? What about the stickers of George Bush with a gun to his head? Don’t try to make this one sided.

I’m a Canadian living in the U.S. Can’t vote, but I can tell you what happens when you tax businesses, Canada loves putting the tax screws to business in Canada, to pay for our infinitely crappy universal health care and maintain our ancient hospitals, that can only use half of the beds in the hospital because the government can’t afford to hire the nursing staff needed to care for the patients that would fill them.

Tax companies and it will be you that pays the taxes.

Canadians fill their gas tanks with more expensive gas to drive to the U.S. to buy your freakishly cheap goods.

That will change in January when businesses start getting taxed here. I don’t think any of you have a clue how low your cost of living is here right now. Your grocery bill, clothes, household goods, gas. God, don’t anyone complain about the price of gas here right now.

Spend a “Obama holiday” weekend in Canada, buy some clothes, buy a $40. case of beer, go out for dinner. It will help prepare you for January.

All this garbage about “liberal”, “conservative” , taxes and no taxes is to disguise the facts.

Obama is going to win, not because he is great but because only the most brain dead individual would vote Republican after what Bush did to the nation. He liked to say that he was against “raising taxes” just like McCain. He didn’t tax us? What he did is stab us in the back to the tune of $700 billion. Isn’t it interesting that that just happens to be the same amount of money America owes China who financed a war that was fueled by the lies of Bush and Cheney.

Bush joked that “…Wall street got drunk…” and described what we will all be paying for as “…a hangover…”. Most brain dead “conservatives” ignore the obvious fact that it was George Bush who gave the party and McCain was there dancing on the table wearing a lampshade.

Anybody who would vote Republican after what we have seen over the last 8 years, deserves to lose their job, their home and their savings.

this is for Laura T-girl you need a reality check and asap. All of you Obama supporters are like lambs being led to the slaughter. Don’t you actually hear the words that are coming out of his mouth. things like-I am the hope of the world. If that not enough to scare you, then look at his past associations. If even one of them were true, that should be enough to question his character. Are you all so willing to turn over this country to someone with little experience and no military experience. Obama can tell you anything he wants, lower taxes-better health care-better education whatever. None of these things will make one bit of difference if we are not safe. Our military is our only line of defence between us and the evils of the world who would love to destroy us. I have no intentions of living the next 4 years in a bunker. But, just in case you do believe all his rhetoric, I,a average American will disprove a major point in his campaign. Health care-Obama says if you have health care already, nothing will happen to it, he will just lower your premiums by 2500 dollars a year. If you don’t have health care then you can get the government health care which government employees get. Ok, first if you were an insurance company and now found out that each of your customers was going to be paying you 2500 less, what would you do? Duh-you cut back on the quality of care you are providing like not approving some tests or preventive care or you are going to be very careful who you continue to insure-high risks people will be cancelled. Why not, the insurance companies know you can get government insurance. after all, they are in business to make a profit. or companies will say, your cost is 2500 less now so why should we chip in. so the 2500 benefits your employer and not you. the only scenerio left is that eventually we are all being insured by the government. personally, i want less government in my life not more. Oh, and by the way Obama never does tell you just how much that government insurance will cost you. Under McCain’s plan you are free to purchase your own insurance-notice the word free. now in this scenerio, let’s see what happens-all the insurance companies will be buying for your business-so they become competitive, which means they promise better care, lower rates because they want your business over the competition. they call this free market. i could go on and on and disprove every one of his campaign issues, but that would take till the next presidential election. Remember if you owned a corporation, you wouldn’t make the 2 year mail room manager your ceo. Just not good business and either is Obama good business for America. I’m pretty sure that you die-hard Obama freaks, won’t get any of this but you will all sure miss America when we loose it. So vote for your rock star-your eloquint speaker, i’m sure that will give your great comfort from that bunker you will be living in after the next terrorist attack. But as for me, I’m not willing to bet my children’s and grandchildren’s future on a rock star. I’m betting on our future with a candidate with experience-especially military experience and has served and suffered to serve the country he loves. That person is John Mccain.

While I respect McCain I do not think Palin represents the majority of women in this country, nor is she qualified to be in the white house. My 80 yr old Republican friend is voting Obama/Biden. He thinks Palin is dangerous. I am sure my grandfather, who was a Republican delegate to the 1900 convention, is rolling over in his grave due to the disinformation his party is putting out. Of course my father stopped voting all together after tricky Dick Nixon and his lies. Even well known conservatives know that Palin is simply unqualified. Why wasn’t a senior Republican women picked for the ticket? There are at least six who are qualified. I guess they just do not have the sex appeal that white male Republicans could vote for.

Get your facts straight. John McCain is the one that votes against veterans. He also votes against healthcare, even though he’s had gov’t healthcare his whole life.

http://www.veteransforcommonsense.org/?Page=Article&ID=9559
http://www.politicalaffairs.net/article/articleview/7557/

Some veterans’ groups have expressed strong criticisms of McCain’s voting record on funding for veterans medical care. In its most recent legislative ratings, for example, the Disabled American Veterans gave McCain a 20 percent rating for his voting record on veterans’ issues.

Also, the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America gave McCain a “D” grade for his poor voting record on veterans’ issues, including McCain’s votes against additional body armor for troops in combat and additional funding for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury screening and treatment.

In addition, both Veterans for America and Veterans of Foreign Wars recently expressed strong reservations about John McCain’s proposal to eliminate guaranteed medical care for veterans by privatizing certain parts of the system.

[...] Female McCain Volunteer Beaten Up By Male Obama Supporter I’m sure tomorrow’s headlines will be about more nonexistent stuff happening at McCain/Palin rallies, but meanwhile here’s an Obama supporter last month beating a woman with a stick that had held a McCain sign. It’s ok, libs. We know it’s the crazy racist right wing that’s been stirred into a violent frenzy, and besides… she deserved it. Right, libs? I’ll start the crickets sound now, shall I?

Where was Nobama actually born? Is he really an American citizen? Until he produces a real birth certificate, which he so far has not done, which clearly shows that he was born on U.S. territory, he is not elgible to be a President of the U.S., that is a fact.

The fact that he would be a terrible President does not enter into the discussion about his real birth place. If he was indeed born on U.S. territory, proving it beyond any doubt should be very easy. So far he hasn’t done so, and maybe it is because he can’t and doesn’t want us to know about the potential legal problem. We have a right to know if his candicy is a legal one, meeting the intent and purpose of the law, or is it just another of his lies.

#653 – The Scribe;

You must be the biggest IDIOT of all. Scholarships and grants are provided by private institutions like Harvard and Yale by wealthy donors, they are not paid by the public nor people like you. Therefore, the scholarships that Obama and his wife received did not come out of the public’s pocket, but were voluntarily given. Are you able to follow this concept?? So not having a dad (which Obama’s died AND Michelle had both her parents) is irrelevant. Just because your children may be from the bottom of the barrel and don’t have the academic ability to compete for these scholarships is just a reflection of your “backwards thinking”. Don’t blame the Obama’s because they are smart. Remember scholarship funds are voluntary and not mandated. Maybe you should take a college course and maybe get rid of the prejudice and hate in your soul. Your ignorance is blatant and sadly pity you and your small mind. No matter which way you vote, the hate that emanates from your words is tragic and misguided. May God forgive your soul.

Bravo Marcie!

Hey NorthlandLJ, I also love Sarah P for one reason… endless laughs! Really, I do not hate her; I actually would probably like her in a social situation.

Tell ya what I don’t love… the fact that she has no foreign policy experience, (being able to see a foreign country from your window doesn’t count Sarah) She didn’t even have a passport until a couple years ago. She couldn’t explain how the new bailout would help the middle class, instead showing her ignorance on the subject and looking like a complete fool on national television. So her Economics are not up to par either. She couldn’t name one newspaper she has read, she advocates the inhumane killing of wolves, she had a baby after age forty knowing the risks of having a child with disabilities then runs for a demanding position instead of devoting all of her attention to this child, I bet her daughter wasn’t given a choice to have her baby and is well on her way to an ill-fated marriage. I am not impressed that she can kill and skin an animal, nor do most people find pit-bulls trustworthy (especially those with lipstick) Oh ya… and Troopergate… that’s getting swept away by the McCain Camp until after the election.

McCain is 72, has had a hard life and could drop dead at any time. He is certainly on his way to dementia having rationalized the Palin choice… we can not afford for Sarah Palin to end up as president, she is not ready and does not have the knowledge to deal with the leaders of the world… SERIOUSLY.

Great forum to read about what all you left-wing loons are (thinking?) about.
I agree that no matter who wins the election- there will be riots. Just look at the outcomes of football games- Jesus. They riot if they win, they riot if they lose.
Ask James Carville- (D-LA) -he knows and says there will be “traumatic violence).

Now for some facts- and don’t go “after me” you idiots- just Google it and read.
Obama meddled in the affairs of foreign governments- Iran and Kenya.
NO American citizens are allowed to do this- it’s a violation of The Logan Act.
Jane Fonda did it. John Kerry did it – and Obama did it.
Why weren’t they prosecuted?
I’m still waiting for an answer.

Obama and his “lovely” wife Michelle- both got into Harvard HOW? Grants and whatever other Affirmative Action, government give-aways there are.
Sarah Palin is a (oh NO- WHITE WOMAN) and as such- she cannot tap that spigot – or suck that tit.
So get off it- she is also a Governor and has more experience than The Messiah- and more grit. Respect her- and give her a chance- LISTEN. SNL would be your best venue- since your attention span is so short.

Unfortunately- the American educational system has been taking in the Bill Ayres and the Socialist teachers for 30 years- and that is why the young voters in this great country know nothing about Mary Jo Kopechne – or any of the other Democrat SCANDALS of the last 30 years.
But they have 15 pages in an 8th grade book by Houghton-Mifflin about OBAMA- and “The Dreams of My Father” (who abandoned him when he was 2.
And “The Audacity of Hope” that was based on Rev. G.D. Amerikka Wright’s sermons.

My GOD- will you wake up, people?
Is this guy made of Teflon?

Is there NO ONE in the MSM who will GROW A PAIR- before this country is totally socialist-
And we are sitting down with these dictators- whose lips are absolutely DRIPPING- to have this man-child get elected so they can destroy what is left of this country after Christopher Dodd, Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi and the rest of these thieves have worked so hard to bring us down?

This story is about a lady who has a bruise. Sorry for her, but that was a “kiss a boo boo” compared to what is in store.
There will be BLOOD IN THE STREETS!!!

This is a most interesting forum. As a “child of the 60`s, I have seen similar behavior from that “tired old terrorist”. I remember well the riots at the Chicago DFL convention, as well as the riots that followed MLK`s assination. Yes, it is very possible that reguardless of the outcome, that there will be rioting in the streats, and “they may indeed burn down 175 American cities, as they have threatened to do. As Americans, we should all be disturbed and deeply ashamed of the media in this country. “yellow journalism”(journalism that exploits,distorts or exagerates the news to create sensations and attract readers, has sunk to deplorable lows in this country). In an era where the message can`t be trusted (which it clearly can`t), far to many Americans are going to make a critical decision which is not based on an factual information. Our media journalists have sunken lower than snake oil salesmen, and this once proud profession, has whored itself beyond redemption. I vote to “kiss goodby” ANY protections given to the press. The whole lot of skummy bottom feeders are largely responsible for the anger and antimosity displayed by the citizenry today. As for B.O., I was going to vote for him. At first, he seemed to have the credintials and resume for the job. As time as passed, and I still know virtually nothing about him, who his supporters are (Louis Farrenkahn and his “Nation of Islam” have declared B.O.as the Messiah), not to mention being being a product of the Chicago Political Machine (vote early and often), no, Im sorry, he just doesn`t pass my “sniff test”. There is just to much thuggery and questionable characters in his associations, to many things he won`t disclose, and a press in this country that is far to willing to give him a pass on all of the questions that matter, and that the voters deserve answers to, to think this is “the one”. On the question of personal protection, I would strongly suggest that any one thinking about it purchase a Mossberg 12 GA. tactical shotgun, insted of a hand gun. Your far less likely to hurt your self, and far more likely to hurt the purp who is threatening you or your family. 3″ 00 buckshot, through a 20″ improved cylinder should settle any questions about anyones wisdom of messing with your family, or property. Lets all hope and PRAY that it doesn`t come to that, but better to be prepared than to be a victim.

781 takes it a step further and says Karl Rove set the whole thing up. Of course, now that he is done setting dynamite in the World Trade Center and shaped charges in the New Orleans levees, he has time to recruit lardasses to assault old women. Maybe he can hire Rosie O’Donnell . She’s fat and insane and out of work.

Don’t believe what Obama said about 95% of people will receive a tax cut, and only those who make $250,000 or more will pay more taxes. That is his strategy to fool 95% of people so that they would vote for him. Just think about it: currently 44% of people don’t pay any taxes; they instead get a check from IRS every year. If the rest 51% of the people (plus the 44%)still get a tax cut, can the 5% afford supporting 95% people? Obama is lying. He will certainly tax us more. Those who make around $100,000 to $150,000, or even less, under Obama, don’t even dream about getting away with a tax increase!

As a matter of fact, until most recently has he finally come up with his definition of being “rich”: $250,000 or more. Previously, this figure was much smaller. This is another problem with this guy: he keeps changing. Somebody really should replay his previous speeches to see how contradictory they were from his recent ones.

If Obama is elected, he will “redistribute” the wealth (Note that this is the Marxist theory, the Communist ideology); that is, the poor people should get money from the rich. However, if the poor people become rich, or make more money, they will have to pay tax. So for many people, they would rather stay poor so they can get free money, their kids can go to private school/college for free. That’s why we say socialism encourages lazy people. It hinders social development.

This is what our good ol USA has come to now? I am not referring to the article or alleged attack here. I am referring to all the inane and insane comments here! What this is headed for is violence in the streets on both sides and behavior that is far below what this country has stood for. No matter who you vote for calling someone running for President “un-american” makes about as much sense as saying McCain was connected to George Wallace! And, I still have yet to hear ANYONE say that the people that shouted “kill him”, “hang him”, etc…etc..have been chastised or repudiated (as McCain is fond of saying yet he gives none as well). Both sides have their “crazies” and both sides need to see this as wrong and stop the move toeards viloence and hatred! And, once and for all, these “associations” that many people fear from Obama took place many years ago! How many people from your past..say over ten years ago… still influence you besides your parents and people that ARE STILL in your life? NONE! There is NO evidence..nada..zip..zilch…to show us that Obama has associated with any of these people in recent times. The meaning: How can they influence him if he does not speak with them or associate with them now? Not one single bit of evidence can be shown to prove a current link to ANY of these people that Obama had an “association” with from MANY years ago. Not one phone call..not one letter…meeting..email…chat..text message…smoke signal…NOT ONE!! I was leaning towards McCain earlier this year.Than he pulled a “palin” and started this dirty campaign that is enciting violence in this country!

He was provoked, incited, pushed beyond the limits of human reason to beat the older lady up. No wonder the other NYC Democrats there, according to the video on you tube, were even angrier than when the Islamic brothers supposedly bombed them. Back then, they just lost a couple of ugly buildings and some money-grubbing greedy capitalists. This woman was marching down Manhattan like some female brownshirt drama queen! Just holding up a McCain-Palin sign in midtown is violence. It is terrorism!

Oh my god, you conservatives are one scary bunch. First, the “kill him” outbursts, are not unfounded. Here’s proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVFWahLTdUo&feature=related

Second, if some “liberal” beat up a mccain supporter, he should be put in jail. But to paint all liberals with the same brush, is abject idiocy.

The fact remains, that W. will go down in history as one of the worst presidents this country has ever had. He was chosen and elected by conservatives. A huge error in judgement.

Obama, for the record, is a mild centrist. Just to point out one fact, he became president of the harvard law review because he was *endorsed* by one of its conservative members. There was a battle between the liberals and the conservatives within the review, and it was ugly. The conservatives trusted obama to “do the right thing”, endorsed him, and thus he became president.

Conservatives; at best, your hysterical posturing makes you look like morons. At worst, it explains why we wallow in the cesspool that is this country’s politics. For shame.

I can’t tell if most of you on this page are willfully misinformed, or just really gullible. What happened in this story is a shame, but let’s just be honest: Fringe groups on both the extreme left and the extreme right are lunatics. Some of you are on this page.

When Gore lost in 2000 by a tiny margin (actually, winning the popular vote), did ‘liberals’ riot? No. When Kerry lost by a very slender margin, did ‘liberals’ riot? No. So, even if Obama does lose this election, what makes you think that you’ll need to protect your families with shotguns?! I’m have a shotgun (12g 3.5″ chamber BPS for ducks and turkey, love it!) and I am confident I will not have to take to the streets and shoot fellow Americans. Charges like that are ridiculous, and Anti-American themselves.

I cannot believe that my husband is in Iraq for the second time (for 15 months) fighting for people like some of you on this page. And, he commands some muslim troops. And blacks. And hispanics. And asians. You know what? They are good soldiers and patriotic. And have to fight and die for the likes of you. Voting for Obama, which my white husband is doing, does not make him “hate whites.” He believes his policies are better for this nation, and the thought of having Gov. Palin as a possible Commander in Chief is unsettling for him. And he’s not sexist – he even sometimes takes orders from me. Plus, we’re both devout, pro-life Christians.

Wake up – if just liberal extremists were voting for Obama, he would not be ahead in the polls despite the character smears that have been constantly and consistently debunked. You are all doing a disservice to this country with all the divisive rhetoric. UNITED WE STAND. DIVIDED WE FALL. What don’t you understand?

For Laura T. comment 28- Why is everyone a racist who has questions about Obama? Some people just can’t see this change we can believe in when he signs up to go by public financing and spending limits, then wins the primary and decides no he needs to spend a bazillion dollars and backs out. Then when questioned about reverend Wright he says he is his spiritual advisor and he could no more disassociate with him than he could his grandmother. Then when he sees that people have a problem with a man that repeatedly says god damn American from the pulpit, he dumps Wright and the Church. (anyone seen his grandmother lately?) To change and fix Washington he picks a VP who has been in Washington for 30 years. There are lots of examples that show Obama is nothing but another lying politician. I don’t see that as racist, but anyone that does not support Obamas views is made out to one. Amazing how that works.

Oct 18, 2008 - 12:00 am 922. John in Baltimore:

Please indulge me while I explain a little about my background.

I was born on a small farm in Northern Vermont, the son of two very hard working parents. My family (from both sides) has been in North America since the 1630’s – 1640’s. Although I never knew it at the time, we were considered poor because everyone around us were farmers and also and living hand-to-mouth. The house I grew up in was built in 1827. Prior to and during the Civil War it was used as one of the last “stations” in the Underground Railroad. My family had built secret passages and rooms that held runaway slaves before their transfer to Canada and freedom (my brother and I could go anywhere in the house and never be seen). I was the first of my family to go to college, but had to drop out after the first year because we could not afford it. I joined the military and spent eleven years on active duty – from 1965 to 1976. While in the military, I finished both my BS and MS in engineering. I served all over the world (including a tour in Vietnam, where I was wounded). I spent 31 years after the military working as an engineering contractor for various government and foreign agencies. I have lived in two Islamic countries (Turkey and Iran) as a civilian contractor, as well as Germany, Italy and South Korea. I have traveled to such diverse places as France, Russia, England, Switzerland, Austria, Australia, Morocco and Indonesia, and have been to the interior of Mexico more than 14 times. I lost my job in December of 2006 due to the anticipated cuts to be made by the incoming Pelosi thugs. I have not been able to get a job since. This is to just give you a little history.

I have learned a few things in my more than 62 years on this mortal coil. Among them are:

1. There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch.

2. When a government says “We want to help you” – watch your wallet (if it is still there).

3. “Peaceful Islam” is one of the greatest lies told in the world today.

4. Socialism leads to Communism, which leads to Totalitarianism, which leads to enslavement.

5. Universal health care means that a government bureaucrat has more say in your health than a doctor.

6. “Gun Control” leads to control of the populace and suppression of freedom by the government (reference 1930’s Germany as one example).

7. Taxes on the “rich” or on corporations are paid by US, the consumer.

8. And lastly, bigger government programs and entitlements lead to suppression of individual rights.

PLEASE, everyone!!! No matter which political philosophy you support – put the future of this country first. Don’t let 232 years of hard work and sacrifice be thrown into the toilet of history. Do your research into all of the issues. This election should not be about who the better speaker is, race or who has a war record (by the way, I firmly believe that a prerequisite for government service should be time spent in the military).

Vote to support not yours, but your grandchildren’s and their grandchildren’s futures.

Please vote your true conscience.

God Bless,
John Clement

You’re label that you have made for yourselves, it feels like such a warm blanket when something like this happens.. When “one of them” does something horrible to you. Sweet and innocent small towned valued you. It happens only to make you feel okay with you lack of rationality and your small town isolated education. Please, oh please.. Do the future generations of this country and of the world a favor… Start educating yourselves.

Impulsive, knee jerk reactions by desperate right wingers. Nothing in the victim’s description of the incident nor in the perpetrator’s response after being arrested indicates his political affiliation. In order to appeal to our baser instincts the editor or author chose a headline based on an assumption that is not supported in the content of the article. Given Obama’s lead in all polls, Obama supporters don’t have anything to be this angry about.

I find it amusing and a bit scary that some of you are able to equate this incident to the incidents that have occurred at the mccain/palin rallies. Just to correct some inaccuracies in your posts–the FBI found ONE of the hate/incendiary speech incidents to be unfounded. The original few incidents have not been dismissed, but there was another incident a few days later that was unfounded because the reporter who documented the incident was unable to identify the person who yelled. The first few incidents were captured on tape and have not been discredited. The clips have been aired on many major news outlets. At any rate, you can hardly equate the threats of violence that have been inspired, though not condoned, by a political rally to the actions of one nut job of unknown political affiliation who wrongly assaults a woman on the street.

Finally, I just have to say that all this talk about the left being violent and the right not being violent is hooey. Throughout history rigid ideology and intolerance have resulted in violence perpetrated by both sides of the political spectrum. Can’t get much more to the right than the Nazis–that’s just one example and there are many more.

Everybody should just dial it down a notch.

After reading these posts- and very disquieting indeed, I just want to add one thing.
I voted for Ross Perot- in protest.
Kind of like a “none of the above” mentality.
But I realized lated that this was a stupid thing to do.
So PLEASE- even if you feel that McCain -Palin is the “Ross Perot-None of the Above-Bitter Pill Vote-
PLEASE vote McCain-Palin.
We cannot afford to have this Socialist, America-Hating Islamo-Facist in the White House.
It will be the ruination of this great country, and the freedoms, that we hold so dear.

All I know is that when Obama raises my taxes I will fire my 50 employees who I will not be able to pay so I can share the wealth. But why continue working at all? I will retire and let someone else work for me while I sit at home to collect my share the wealth check.

There is a crazy guy in the world, with mental problems. “REALY, I DON’T BELIEVE IT!!” Well, guess what? I’m sure there is a equal amount on wackos on the republican side. Like Mccain said at the debate “he can’t stop one guy out of thousands at his rally from yelling inappropriate racial slurs at Obama. Obama may be superman but he can’t fly down there and apprehend the suspect himself. I feel As far as palin what a terrible choice as running mate. at the debate all she did was side step the important questions we need to hear. Then she has the nerve to say shes doing it to talk straight?
She will set women’s reproductive rights back 50 years. Shes abstinence only maybe if she was for sexual education, she wouldn’t have a minor child knock up about to have a illegitimate baby. with the father dropping out of high school. Great role models. I will not get into her abuse of power and ethic violations as Gov. of Alaska. Mccain attack show exactly ow desperate his race as become

OMG? That poor woman..I agree with what she said about how we would never do anything like this to another human being. But, then again they ‘approve’ of killing babies in the womb, right? I don’t mean to incite anyone there just making my point. As far as putting on my bumper stickers, I have 3 of them. I live in Dallas & if I should need to drive Downtown for my Dr.’s appts. I seem to get harassed on the freeways everytime. Why can’t the just agree to disagree? How is this guy gonna act when McCain gets elected? I think his shrink should be close at hand for him. Finally, I am DISGUSTED with the DRIVE-BY Media Hounds & how they have treated 50% of the remaining legal citizens of this country! HONORABLE Journaism is OFFICIALLY DEAD! How they can ignore this really bothers me alot! I thank GOD everyday for FoxNews & PRAY that the OWNER, what’s his name? The British Billionaire doesn’t let his new wife turn him into a Liberal before his Conservative SONS can take the helm of NewsCorp. What is/was his name??
Anyhow, my prayers are with that poor LADY for what she endured just to volunteer for something she believes in.

What a bunch of crap coming from conservative and liberal voters . All of you are divided by hate , fear and probably do not understand the U.S. Constitution , Bill of Rights or Thomas Paine’s book ( Common Sense ) ! You are divided as a nation and will probably implode within the next four years ! All of you with your fear , ignorance and hate are the true enemies this nation faces from within . How many of you actually have travelled or taken the time as informed citizens to learn about other world cultures and how your government does or does not work for you ?? Infantilism has become a virus were critical thinking was never developed by the majority of you so called citizens in this country .
This nation is controlled by one percent of the population due to your petty hatreds , ignorance ; fear . The people who control you know you like a childs book and play you like the fools you are . Wars = Money . Challenge to all of you 1. Get off your fat butts and develop critical thinking . 2. Understand that we are not just Liberal or Conservative but both, find common ground and develop humor about yourselves together . 3. Pretend Christians start learning what it means to be a good Christian and follow the teachings of compassion and treat each other the way you want to be treated . 4. You cannot lie to the person in the mirror unless you are in denial , develop your souls and drop your childlike behavior. American Unity will probably not happen unless you all use the correct energy together ….its your choice , you all will make or break this planet . Peace to all combat veterans and American unity against ignorance , fear , apathy ; greed !

Please read this article and see Obama e-mailed to his cousin Raila Odinga in Kenya. Odinga run for President inKenya and Obama for President in US. Odinga is Muslim and is an elite Communist. Obama went to campaign for his cousin. Read Obama’s e-mailed to his cousin. It is near the middle of the page. May be Obama’s e-mail was hacked by someone who worked with Obama’s cousin, Odinga.

Odinga lost the election but his Islam supporters in Kenya went on muderous rampages burned Churches & killed people. Now Obama’s cousin is President? Odinga supported by Russia and Muslims, could Obama also supported by Russia and Muslims to control the US?

What is called liberal today is really intalerant fascistic, totlitarian and even psycho. I would guess this man is likely a Manhattan homosexual, the type that invades churhes, and desecrated the communion, as “ACT UP” did years ago. Sahrah Palin has got them going nuts.

It would be a bad day for that guy. Every man that witnessed this should have rushed to assist the lady immediately and given this guy the beating that he deserves.

Christine, based on what other people are saying here, why are you feeling guilty because you were born white?

Be your own person and prove being white is nothing to be ashamed of which it definitely is not. All races have people who are more vocal than others.

You are falling into the Liberal trap to be one of the people who cry out I’m ashamed of being white and I want to repent for what happened over 200 years ago.

Yet for all the Liberal Leaders shame they cry about feeling, I don’t see the any of them giving up the keys to their houses and cars to the next black person or Indian walking down the street to pay for their ancestors crimeswhile easing their guilt. I’ve never heard of Springsteen or Billy Joel giving away their fortunes which they should since they feel so guilty. Two of the most fake individuals out there.

You act like whites are the only race that talk about other races. At the dinner table, all races talk about each other then try to get along the best they can when out in public.

Stop participating in the Democratic whitewashing efforts to make whites think they shouldn’t be proud of themselves.

The Democratic Party has the white people in their party walking with their heads down in shame. A brilliant strategy I must say on the part of the Obama campaign.

Two days ago, some dumb Pennsylvania senator fell for the Obama Campaign’s brainwashing techniques and called half the white people in Pennsylvania racist. He wil have plenty of time for counseling after the Pennsylvania racists boot his groveling butt out of office. Being a Southerner, I find it amusing a Northern state like Pennsylvania is being labeled a racist because they are not voting for Barack Obama.

Here is an interesting point, do you think people of color would recommend that (Let me whisper, Christine, since you are not proud to be white) the millions of descendants of all white soldiers who fought and died in the Civil War to preserve the Union and to make slaves free Americans.

Should these Northern white people who gav etheir life to free the black man get reparations? I think they should as they lived under the fear of the wealthy landowners and businessmen someday deciding to make poor white people slaves themselves.

This is horse puckey as the majority of whites are willing to vote for the candidate who can get the job done regardless of his or her color.

Jenny is right. Grow up and be proud of you are. If you are not proud of your race, don’t expect other races to respect you.

Macain and palin mean more pain and barrack in swahili means more blessing is it not obvious

Oct 18, 2008 - 12:44 am 945. rachel peepers:

Carrying a McCain/Palin sign these days is the equivalent of waving a red cape in front of a bull.

Putting a McCain/Palin bumper sticker on your car is the equivalent of asking some political thug to key it.

Sticking a McCain/Palin sign on your front lawn is the equivalent of saying to someone whose id has silenced his superego, freeing the puke to steal it.

Don’t kid yourself, a large segment of Obama worshipers are the mental equivalents of Hydrich and Goring, the night of the long knives boys, who are so imbued with Bush hate and Obama love that they’re like P-38s with hair triggers. But those are just the rank and file mouth breathers.

The Barack inner circle is the equivalent of a snake with cat eyes.

Poised to strike at any provacation, real or imagined.

Barack’s people tell him that people at a Palin rally were saying things like terrorist and kill him. Patently untrue. Newspapers interviewed secret service agents with Palin. Pure poppycock. Then Barack repeats it on national television. “Kill him” they hear. When a warped mind translates that provocative couplet coming from the mouth of his political massiah, no good ever comes out of it.

Henchmen see Joe the Plumber, your average hard working guy, and soon view him as a huge threat, the mortal enemy who has to be investigated, chastised in the national newspapers and made the victim of the politics of personal destruction.

It’s okay with Barack. His silence tells them so.

When some woman at a McCain rally went too far with crazy anti-Obama talk, McCain took the microphone and set her straight. He said, “Obama is a good man, a family man”.

Obama’s different, though. He’s not wired like McCain. McCain has been on the receiving end of vengeance, violence and torture.

Barack’s only been on the receiving end of privlege.

His cowardly silence encourages the lashing out at Republicans in all kinds of ways. Obama is a kind of non-violent person who believes the ends justify the means. It’s the old 1930’s German, Russian view of politics and conquest.

If it surprises anyone that Democrats are always the ones doing everything from throwing pies at Coulter and Crystal speeches to beating on women carrying McCain/Palin signs, it shouldn’t.

Scratch a Barack fanatic and more often than not, you won’t hit skin. There’s no heart of kindness and compassion underneath. What you’ll uncover is a brown shirt. And under that a heart that beats a socialist drum. A creature that marches in lock step to a totalitarian beat.

Going by the book, you evetually get the press under your thumb. It’s the totalitarian playbook.

A free independent press is your ticket to preventing politicians from running wild. William Golding saw the danger and wrote about it. Eventually Ralph turned on Piggy. It’s what happens when the weak have no one to defend them against the powerful.

The American press is afraid to run a picture of Mohammad. The American press is the moral equivalent of the German citizens in the nearby towns who smelled the smells and did nothing.

Maybe rural America will be the last bastion. The final place that’s safe from the effects of politics and people gone amuck.

Now I’m not speaking in metaphors. Not making subtle allusions to history.

I can put a McCain/Palin or a Obama/Biden sign on my front lawn without fear that any fool will fool with it. Not that a lot of college Barack followers wouldn’t want to. But few testosterone filled ids around here can stand fearless when the response to attack isn’t what it is in Manhattan. We don’t call the police.

William Golding would understand.

431. Joe Plumber,

I have read all of the garbage that is on this website and it was very refreshing to finally read a good comment such as yours. The Republicans are preaching fear and hate. That’s always been their campaign strategies but most of us with an IQ over 140 do not buy into this except for these people who read the website, who I believe are probably reading at a third grade level. Most of the things that they probably learned about the world were from mommy and daddy. It’s sad but we can’t really blame the folks who frequent this website. They only know what they were taught by their parents who also learned what they knew from their parents. It’s a family tradition of knowledge. So Joe Plumber who posted on 431, we can’t blame them at all, they are just the Sarah Palins of this country who have never really set foot outside of their immediate towns throughout their whole entire lives. These poor folks.

Oct 18, 2008 - 1:05 am 950. Ernest Serano:

The main media hardly wants to cover dangerous association of Obama because they only want to stick to the “issues”. A politician’s character is the main issue. Anyone who would not just associate but have financial dealings and personal relationships with:

1. Tony Resco-while he was under indictment on multiple counts, Obama had business with him and was shortly convicted on those charges.
2. For 20 years Obama financially supported the Reverend Wright of Trinity Church which preached hate against Whites and hate for the U.S.
3. As an adult not as an 8 yr old, Obama has had financial and social relations with William Ayers who in 1991 admitted he wished he had done more bombing and terrorist activity and was pictured in 1992 stepping on the U.S. flag showing his hate for this country.
4. Obama in 2006 went to Kenya to help campaign for his cousin Odinga which was trying to bring in Muslim religious law. When Odinga lost the presidential election his followers killed hundreds of people including burning a Christian Church with 50 people in it!
5. Obama claimed no ties to ACORN but now we know that he worked for them in the past and in this campaign he has given $800,000 to help them in their fraudulent voter registration drives where he is being put on ballots illegally. The FBI is investigating now.

Can any reasonable person regardless of any political persuasion not see all these danger signs? This is not all there is some more of it is at this blog: http://wwwgodandcaesar.blogspot.com/

That’s the reason for all the fake macho posturing by Bill O’Reilly and Fibber McCain. It’s just a front. You’re afraid someone will discover the truth about you. Like with most bullies, it’s ok for you to dish it out, but you just can’t take it. I guess it was LIBERAL “thugs” who murdered John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, huh? I guess it was LIBERAL “thugs” threatening Obama’s life at Quaylin’s last several rallies. I guess it’s been LIBERAL “thugs” who have been using civil war language to intimidate their oponents for the past 40 years. Go read Ann Coulter and come back to tell me the LEFT is the source of political violence in this country. Remember that little gem from her when she said that the only debate about PRESIDENT Clinton was whether to have him impeached or assassinated? NO ONE is buying YOUR hypocritical slander any more.

Oct 18, 2008 - 1:51 am 957. UnitedWeStand:

I find it interesting that someone wrote that 95% of “afro-Americans” are voting for Obama so that makes them racist. The fact is 95% of African-Americans voted for Clinton–how does the race factor play into that?

I am white and go to Homestead High school in Fort Wayne, Indiana where there are 10% minorities and 90% white students. Last year we had to do a project where we had to trace the family history of our best friends. I found out that my best friend (who also is white) is the decendant of slave owners and had family directly involved with the Jim Crow events of the south. There is a picture that was in her great grandmothers house of two of her great uncles standing under a tree with two black men hanging from it.

If the so-called guilty by association rule applies that links Barack Obama to Ayers, does that same rule apply to all of the white people–myself included that have ties to white supremist and hate mongers that turned hoses on people of color in the 60’s… If everyone is guilty by association am I racist because my grandfather calls black people the N-word and refers to Jews in a very deragatory way?
I have friends of all colors (African-American, Hispanic, Asian, etc). I find it hard to believe that Barack Obama is being judged by an association with Ayers who committed that act when Barack Obama was eight years old. Obama had nothing to do with Ayers act of terrorism, absolutely nothing to do with it.
It seems that if Obama’s judgement is questionable for associating with Ayers, then the judgement of the university president, the entire faculty, and all of the students and parents should be questioned who associate with Ayers on a daily basis. He is a professor of education in Illinois. Everyone who associates with him should have their patroitism questioned, IF Barack Obama’s judgement is questioned.

I find it interesting when I hear my grandparents talking about politics these days, I hear the word “Ni**er” so much I am ashamed.
It makes me think that they are not afraid that Obama isn’t qualified, or he is going to redistribute their wealth (they actually make a lot less than 250,000 a year so they will benefit from his tax breaks) the only thing I have heard them say really is that they never thought they would live to see the day that a “N……) would be running for president)…

There are probably more people who feel the same way but just aren’t as honest about it as my grandparents. I am ashamed when I hear them speaking about it with their friends, just as I am ashamed when I read some of the comments written here.

I am ashamed that my fellow Americans would think it is a security risk because Obama went to school part of the time in another country.

The reality is Americans are lagging behind almost every other industrialized nation in education. We are considered dumb, and we have the test scores to prove it.
Most Americans do not speak a foriegn language–unlike most Europeans and Asians–even students from Africa speak 3 and 4 languages.

We are afraid because Barack Obama was forunate to see another part of the world, be around people who didn’t look like him, and learn and be fully emersed in another culture. Why is that so bad?

I think people should vote for whomever they choose but when I hear some of the ignorant reasons to not vote for a candidate (Republican or Democrat) I am ashamed.

It is strange that people throw around the comment about food stamps not realizing that there are more white people receiving welfare and foodstamps than minorities. Instead of slinging hate and stereotypes, get real facts. Yes, I was surprised to find this out. I was surprised because everything I had heard people say that minorites–especially black people are the ones receiving welfare, but it turns out that it is white people(on a national leve) who receive more government assistance.

Knowledge and information is free. Check the government websites and look at the statistics. Instead of jumping on the bandwagon of stereotypes pick up a book and read. Instead of using the internet to spew hate, research government statistics. You may be surprised at what you find…and before you determine that the governmenet websites are lying and it is some conspiracy to elect Barack Obama look not only at present day, but go back 60,70 years. White people have always received more government assistance. Period.

Another note about foodstamps–my mother and father work full time. My father is a supervisor at General Motors, and was recently laid off. My mother is a registered nurse. Both of my parents have college degrees, and are hardworking, patriotic Americans.
For some to suggest that people are lazy and want government hand-outs is just not the case.
Do you suggest that people who lose everything in a natural disaster just want government hand-outs? Nobody plans to lose their jobs and not be able to provide for their families.
I think instead of criticizing people you should be thankful that you have not been laid off, or had to lay off employees because of the economic downturn.

The guy who only talks about going to WalMart and purchasing a gun–I would be ashamed to be your child. Your thinking shows how small minded and excuse me for saying “ignorant” you are.
From all of the atrocities minorites have suffered at the hands of white people in this country where racism was systematic and law–I am surprised more of them aren’t packing and afraid of us. People seem only to think about slavery and forget about the Jim Crow Laws of the South. They seem to forget that the civil rights movement was not that long ago.
I have an African- American calculus teacher whose mother was born in 1956. Had her mother lived in the south instead of California, she would have had to give up her seat to many of my other white teachers. That is how real it is. People are afraid to admit that it was not that long ago…and are also afraid to deal with the fact that they may have some residual feelings of superiority from that very fact–that black people in America not too long ago, had no rights.
How dare this man run for the President of the United States–who does he think he is?
I am not saying that is how all people feel, but that is definitely how my grandparents feel.

I will not be old enough to vote on November 4th, but if I were I would vote for Barack Obama. I wouldn’t vote because I have some sense of guilt because my grandparents are racist–yes I said it. I wouldn’t vote for him because I have a sense of guilt for being white and all that my ancestors did, or may have done to blacks in America. I wouldn’t vote for him because it is the “cool” thing to do.
I would vote for him because I think he is qualified, intelligent, compassionate, and I feel he is the best man for the job–period.

WOW! I have been going through these comments for hours. I am a young African-American woman prior military with a military spouse who has been deployed many times. I have never said that I was a Democrat/Republican/Liberal I just read up and study the men and women that are running and hope that I have made a good decision. I’m very frustrated and worried about this election. Do I think either person will make a GOOD President? That’s hard to say, and the people that are rnning for Vice? Well that just has me stumped. But reading all these comments about how riots will occur and how people are being bullied into supporting Obama is way beyond what I’m capable of believing. I am afraid for my little girl after reading these comments. She is going to grow up in a nation of hate, a lot of people here are filled with so much its ridiculous. I want the person who is BEST QUALIFIED to do the job. We don’t want to go backwards we want to move forward and it seems that alot of people are stuck in the past, we are all EQUAL and should be treated as such. And by ALL I mean black, white, red, green, purple..you get the point! Study the people who are running and when you vote, pray for our country. No matter who wins, this country is hurting and there is a lot of work to be done.

As to polls.. according to the polls, hillary was going to crush Ozero in the NH primary. Then a funny thing happened.
People voted. He lost.
Go Mac!

As an American black male. Who has served his country in the US Navy and was conservative before conservative was cool (Goldwater era) some of these so called conservatives are scaring the heck out of me. We are the ones that are supposed to be the adults here. What the Heck? I expect that kind of garbage from the left, everything they say were are, they truily are. Don’t get caught up in it,remain adults. Try being black and conservative, you think that you hear crap. White and black libs accuse you of being a traitor, gosh even a racist! still don’t understand that one. This election is begining to look like a bad movie. With loons on both sides looking for a reason to feel robbed and act violently towards the other, if they don’t get their way. Our real enemies (not Americans) will probably take great joy if we act as insanely as we are talking.

People are getting way too worked up on both sides. I just don’t get the anger, it helps no one. Anger in a situation only reflect ignorance on both sides.

But lets not pretend that we Republicans are innocent. Some asked for video, well here’s a doozy:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPg0VCg4AEQ&eurl=http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/

I find this embarrassing as a Republican, and as an American. And it won’t get better on either side if both parties don’t call out the idiots on our own sides. Let’s put the ignorant idiots back in their holes and get back to an intelligent discussion of why one position is better than the other. That is the only way we can be assured of improving our country, no matter which party is in control.

Don’t kid yourself, the negativity and anger has only killed our chances.

“Once and for all, the Civil War is over. You lost.”

Actually, it was your side (traitor Democrats) that lost that one. Our side (loyal to America Republicans) won.

Oct 18, 2008 - 2:29 am 964. Chey:

Where did the guy say that he is an Obama supporter? Or even a Democrat, for that matter? He could have been upset, as I am that our party is handing out hate mail and calling it “Straight Talk”. Or that McCain doomed the Republican Party by choosing that ditz as a running mate.

Oct 18, 2008 - 2:35 am 965. Southern Boy:

Christine, why are you feeling guilty because you were born white? A person can tell that you have lived a sheltered little world where everything was perfect.

If anything, you better be acting scared instead of ashamed if you ever find yourself riding public transportation in some areas of Philadelphia where you are not welcome because of the color of your skin.

You could wind up like the white girl who was beat in the face severely just because she was white and wouldn’t give up her bus seat to 4 or 5 black youths.

An example of someone who should have been ashamed of their actions was Al Sharpton who never appropriately condemned the attack that left the young white girl with a shattered eye socket.

Al Sharpton should have been ashamed of his actions to decide not to help stop racism from spreading.

Now, you probably think the girl should have been ashamed of herself for not giving up her seat.

Be your own person and prove being white is nothing to be ashamed of in life. Being white is definitely not shameful to me.

I know you wish that you could change the color of your skin. Maybe there is a dye out there that you can put on your body which over time may darken you enough to escape the white race.

All races have people who embarass the others within a racial group but why condemn the whole group as you did with the white race.

You are falling into the Liberal trap to be one of the people who cry out I’m ashamed of being white and I want to repent for what happened over 200 years ago.

Yet, for all of the feelings of shame Liberal Leaders cry about experiencing, I don’t see the any of them handing the keys to their houses and cars to the next black person or Indian they see walking down the street to make reparations for the crimes their ancestors committed against the minorities.

I’ve never heard of Springsteen or Billy Joel giving away their fortunes which they should since they feel so guilty. They are two of the most fake individuals out there. Maybe you could start the national reparation program by giving all your stuff away first then you wouldn’t be a white person full of shame.

You act like whites are the only race that talk about other races. At the dinner table, all races talk about each other then try to get along the best they can when out in public.

Stop participating in the Democratic whitewashing efforts to make whites think they shouldn’t be proud of themselves.

The Democratic Party has the white people in their party walking with their heads down in shame. A brilliant strategy, I must say, on the part of the Obama campaign.

Two days ago, a not too bright Pennsylvania senator fell for the Obama Campaign’s brainwashing techniques. He called half the white people in Pennsylvania racist to try to shame them. White voters are willing to vote for the candidate who can get the job done regardless of his or her color.

This senator will have plenty of time for counseling after the supposedly Pennsylvania racists boot his groveling butt out of office.

Being a Southerner, I find it amusing a Northern state like Pennsylvania is being labeled as a racist state because they are not voting for Barack Obama.

Here is an interesting point, do you think people of color would recommend that (Let me whisper, Christine, since you are not proud to be white) the millions of descendants of white Union soldiers who fought and died in the Civil War to preserve the Union and to make slaves free Americans be given reparations?

Wouldn’t it only be fair that these proud Northern white people who gave their life to free the black man get reparations? I think they should as these soldiers proudly fought to their death for a cause they deemed worthy to die for in battle. Be proud of your white ancestors, Christine.

Jenny is right. Grow up and be proud of who you are. If you are not proud of your race, don’t expect other races to respect you.

Oct 18, 2008 - 2:50 am 966. Artist against Obama:

Since the Obama camp is making fun of Joe the Plumber and have worked hard to find dirt about him maybe it is time that the McCain camp find dirt on Shepard the Artist. Obama hand picked Shepard Fairey as his official campaign artist and has openly praised Shepard’s illegal activity and career. A career that has been built on violating the legal rights of other artists and visual rhetoric that promotes violence on the streets.

Why on earth did Obama make him his official campaign artist? Obama actually sent Shepard a letter praising his career and his illegal activity, like putting Obama stickers on stop signs! So does that mean that Obama supports illegal activity that cost tax payers billions per year in city clean up? Why is the media not pointing this out? Obama refuses donations from Rezko but accepts $400,000 in donations from Obama merchandise from this thug?

Shepard Fairey has made images of the White House burning in the past and images that depict President Bush being taken down. How is that not negative for this country? Better question, why does Obama praise Shepard’s career when it is been based on attacking this country and the government with visual rhetoric that is overly violent? Because he is a socialist. That is why. That is why Shepard keeps saying his work is more “positive” now. Bullocks!

Shepard Fairey’s original HOPE image of Obama is not ‘original’. It is based off of a poster that another artist made of Che in the 60s. Shepard Fairey is a copyright violator and petty criminal. Look up Rene Mederos and the work that Shepard stole from him. He does not give anyone credit unless he is caught, or “busted” as he puts it. The only copyright Shepard Fairey acknowledges is his own.

Obama has said great things about the arts and how he will fund art education and programs, but at what cost? His actions by hand picking Shepard Fairey to reperesent his campaign visually proves that he does not care about the rights of artists. Either that or he is too lazy to do a simple search for ’Shepard Fairey’ online in order to find out who exactly this art thief and criminal is. The fact that Obama does not answer his artist supporters about his thoughts on the oprhan works bill also shows that he does not care about the rights of artists. He cares about art, but not about the rights of those who create it! That is socialism my friends!

We will regulate the crap out of everything, unless it takes money away from our Lib friends.

I truly commend you guys for making your posts. I am an Independent who has seen the hate that has been perpetrated by Sarah Palin at her recent rallies and they are absolutely appalling. This woman, who is just a heartbeat away from the Presidency, is supposedly a very religious person and this is how she is leading by example. I can’t even imagine what this country would be like if she were to be in office. I truly believe that she has taken us backward, in this country, as far as racial tolerance. God help us all if Sarah Palin were to get her chance in office.

Man I read a bunch of this garbage…you all are cowards…those of you who claim to “hope an Obama supporter attacks you” or “extreme leftist says anything to you about your stickers” you should be embarrassed. YOU ARE A COWARD…you aren’t gonna do a thing, if you are that excited about trouble, put down the beer, quit slapping around your wife and come down to a city near you, where people actually have education and start your tough guy/gal streak…lol some guy named STEFFY claims to work 2 jobs have a wife yada yada…he can’t stand black people, he hates our smell our look our music, ect…all I can wonder is how many black men your wife has been with to make you feel that upset. Its either that or like most of you you were raised my uneducated dirt road walking, moonshine guzzling Klansmen and Women…I am glad I stumbled on this little article and site. I mean we all know that racism is prevalent still today, but you people…save a few…sound like twits. Its hilarious it doesn’t even anger me, because you are cowards…anybody can type anonymously their hatred and ill will towards a people. Ive read you idiots saying that McCain Rallies have offered no racism…LOL bless yall heart I know yall may be new to this whole Internet thing but proof is in the pudding…the net is you can HATE and CRY and TWIST WORDS ect ect…but even you guys know deeeeeeep on your cowardly racist little hearts that McCain just isnt the guy for the job…I mean we won’t even discuss his VP pick…Jeeez I mean seriously I am shaking my head. NOW FINALLY I would like to say those of you voting for McCain because you think he is actually better for the job I completely understand and respect that…but the majority of you bumbling fools who believe he somehow is not qualified because of the pigmentation of his skin…you are plain stupid, unfortunately stupid enough to not even know how foolishly ignorant your own beliefs are.

OBAMA IN 08

Oct 18, 2008 - 3:27 am 972. Jeff:

This is just a fictional story that I have created to bring light to the time that we are in now —

Two men from the year 3000 decided to take their spacecraft on a trip back in time to learn the events of the past.

One man asked the other, “Steve, which part of history should we go back to?”
So Steve replied, ”Let’s go back to 2008, John. It was a very significant time in our history. This was the time when our country was at the crossroads of deciding our future and the end results of their decisions are what we are living with now. I heard that our country was at its most crucial time because it was economically crumbling at the core of its foundation.”
“Fair enough Steve, let’s go back to 2008,” John agreed.

So they both entered their spacecraft and took a trip back to 2008. Within light speed they zoomed across time going back to 2008 and soon appeared above The White House in Washington DC, up in the sky just hovering in stealth mode.

Steve turned to John and said, “Let’s turn on the screen and watch all the events of this time starting back from the day America was attacked on 9/11/01, John.”
So John turned on the screen and the two watched all of the events starting from 9/11 to the current year that they were in, which is 2008. While they were watching all of the events of 9/11, the Afghanistan War, and the events of the Iraq War up to the current time that they are at, which is November 4th of 2008. They paused the screen and looked at each other, just scratching their heads.

John looked at Steve and commented, “Steve, these events are devastating after 9/11. We went into Afghanistan which was right but everything shows that we had no reason to go into that other country called Iraq. There was so many of our soldiers and people that died in this carelessness.”
So Steve thought about it and replied, “It appears that you are right, John, but the people of America seem to stand with this President. Now let’s un-pause the screen and watch this 2008 election and the 4 years that follow this. Then we go back home.”

So John un-paused the screen and the two watched the 2008 election and the 4 years that followed this election and went back to their own time, which is the year 3000.

John looked at Steve and commented, “This trip gave me a new view of humanity, Steve. I don’t understand why we continue to make the same mistakes over and over again. That white man was just a continuation of that last President but our ancestors voted for him anyway because America could relate to him more. They voted for him because he looked similar to the majority of them but denied the other candidate simply because he looked different. Although that other candidate looked different, he seemed to want to help the country turn around. He seemed to look forward to the future and had futuristic ideas of not just transforming America for the better but creating a unity in the world. He seemed to be a man of the world and the world seemed to view him very favorably.”

So Steve answered, “I understand how you feel and I share the same sentiments, John. At that time in history, human mentalities had not transcended beyond fear of the different and the unknown. The human mentalities at that time had not transcended above and beyond the differences in color, creed, religion, and cultural backgrounds of this world. Because of this ignorance, our society is what it is today. It’s the year 3000 and wars are the only one thing that seems to be unable to evade humanity. Now, we are crumbling at our feet with all these wars all across the globe. We had a defining movement in history, John. We had a chance to open our minds and hearts to something different and something new, but we, as a collective, blew it. Now humanity is at an endless conflict and I fear that we are meeting our extinction. God help us all.”

Oct 18, 2008 - 3:27 am 973. Traynor Howe:

I always love to hear the republican’s claim that the media is liberal especially from candidates like McCain who built his career on the favorable press he has gotten as an alleged “American Hero.” No one ever talks about McCain’s capture and his surrendered to his commie buddies compromising American positions.

Nevertheless, Conservatives are just so stupid on this issue. The “media” is owned by right-wing corporations that are anything but liberal. NBC is owned by General Electric, ABC by Disney (old Walt liked Hitler by the way),Newscom owns CBS and, of course, that bastion of liberalism FoX News is owned by a crazy Australian billionaire named Rupert Murdoch.

But can you blame them. Conservatives are so gullible that they believed that: Reagan would get a constitutional amendment banning abortions; Bush I would get an Constitutional Amendment banning flag burning; that getting a bj in White House was an impeachable offense; that there were WMD in Iraq and that it was a good idea to cut taxes when we were spending 200 billion dollars annually to fight a war. (the entire war has been funded on credit and has added 800 billion to the national debt.)

Just remember, it will be your fellow acorn Obama supporters that are coming to burn down the cities when the messiah loses. Fueled by all the democrat pundits. ENJOY!!

Oct 18, 2008 - 3:35 am 975. Thomas:

As much as we’ve talked about this incident, let’s not forget this is not an isolated incident. The Left has gotten increasingly more violent and destructive since the late 90s. Let’s review some of the Left’s greatest “hits.”

- vandalism of Republican headquarters in numerous states
- slashed tires (as noted above)
- vandalism or theft of Republican yard signs (as noted above)
- attempted vehicular homicide of Katherine Harris in 2002 by a Florida Democrat
- physical altercations initiated by Leftists

Aside from the false cries of “racism” against Republicans and the truly offensive t-shirts calling Sarah Palin the c-word, let’s not forget the Left has a mean streak that extends beyond mere words.

But here’s the thing that some of the people leaving comments about how Republicans are no better need to keep in mind. McCain and Palin have NOT condoned the alleged words attributed to their supporters. There’s even video of McCain defending Obama in front of an audience of McCain supporters.

No such video exists of Obama returning the favor in any way, shape, or form.

Sorry, but Republicans are acting with far more class and tact than Democrats are this year. Anyone who says differently isn’t paying attention.

Oct 18, 2008 - 3:36 am 976. Anthony Lewis:

Ok, right-wing posters, I get it: You’re voting for McCain out of fear (oh, HE’LL keep us safe!) and out of greed (it’s MY money, dammit, and I have absolutely no sense of social responsibility whatsoever!). Pathetic, selfish, greedy cowards.

Oct 18, 2008 - 3:42 am 977. Constance:

Hey John the “Kill him” remark was another phoney story made up by a reporter who obviously supports the Ugly O. Perhaps you should try to keep up with the real world, and the brown shirts that are about to take it over. Those of us who are old enough to have had real history taught to us have seen this movie before….

What you can expect from O? Let’s see no extension on the Bush tax cuts, so anyone earning 50K will immediately get a 4K tax hike.
All the troops coming home so that will immediately raise the unemployment rate to somewhere close to those great Carter double digit numbers. Of course we won’t need the military because O is going to bring on utopia, so no miliary spending necessary he is going to have a civilian force (they called it the Gestapo in Germany, the Stasi in Czechslovakia see a movie called the “lives of others” and you will get a little taste of what that is like. Next the embargo on our own drilling will be put on so oil will rebound big time and Opec is already cutting production so get ready to meet all your friends and neighbors in the gas lines. Eddie Rendel is already telling companies in PA that they are going to have to cut elec usage by 1% a yr. (also great for growth). Oh and don’t forget those guys in Gitmo they will be coming to a theater near you. O is closing the place so perhaps they will be out on bail and taking up their favorite pastime. No need to worry though because the dems will extend your unemployment benefits to 5 yrs. to really spur your desire to sit in front of the TV. Of course we will no longer be a threat to anyone in the world because he plans to cut the military and all research and development of defensive weapons, now in case some of you don’t know this, weakness usually leads to nasty wars and so this happy ending will be a republican being elected to clean up a country and a world that is in flames. Let’s just hope, we can manage it.

“If the so-called guilty by association rule applies that links Barack Obama to Ayers, does that same rule apply to all of the white people–myself included that have ties to white supremist and hate mongers…”

If you associate yourself with trash like David Duke or Fred Phelps, and then try and run for public office, I’ll fight you until hell freezes over, and then I’ll fight you on the ice.

Same thing for leftoid pols who think it’s perfectly fine to associate themselves with scum like William Ayers or Jeremiah Wright.

“Instead of using the internet to spew hate…”

I’ll spew hate against anyone I please, and it pleases me to spew against David Duke, Fred Phelps, William Ayers and Jeremiah Wright. They’re all scum.

And, I don’t think too much of the New Messiah, either.

“I will not be old enough to vote on November 4th, but if I were I would vote for Barack Obama.”

Hopefully, you’ll grow out of that before you attain your majority.

McCains health care plan is reckless, and so is his free trade and tax policy as well as his spending proposal – they all hurt the average hardworking americans who have legitimate jobs and pay their taxes. You never hear republicans talk about the “hard working americans” or the “regular Joes” until it’s time to vote. I wonder why? Thumbs up to anyone who is voting on the issues whomever your candidate may be. The rest of you spewing this hate and vile, all because you are aghast that a black man has the nerve to run for president (lets just call it for what it is) you need a reality check. The informed, intelligent and hard working folks who just want a better america are tired of this bullshit. Please stick to the real issues and keep your racist hate out of it.

Thank you Constance #976, for making it clear why Obama is trailing in the polls with respect to under-educated people. How many times does he have to tell you that unless you make over $250K, your taxes will NOT go up? And that, for 98% of the middle class, taxes will go DOWN. Sure, you can just choose to not believe him, but looking at the last debate it’s pretty clear which candidate has the most credibility (hint – it wasn’t Blinky).

I am thankful I don’t live in the Peoples Demokratik Republik of New Yawk or the Peoples Demokratik Republik of Califonrication. I live in Florida. We have a couple of great laws here in this state that encourage polite and respectful behavior by all. One of these is called the stand your ground law. If you have a legal right to be somewhere and someone attacks you, you don’t have a duty to retreat. You do have the right to protect yourself (even to the extent of using deadly force). Ever notice – you don’t see a lot of this idiotic behavior in Florida. Yes we have our share of liberals. Fortunately – most of them live way down south in Miami. As for me, I live in the panhandle – in a district that is 15% retired military( one of the highest if not the highest percentage in the country). As a result – we live a very good life. One of the great things about living here is that all people are free to express their ideas and views without fear. Are you a Barack Obama supporter? Fine – you want to show that you have a room temperature IQ and are an idiot. You are free to do that without fear of someone attacking you. Same if you are a John McCain supporter. Someone who attacks me unlawfully in a public place will be very sorry they chose to do so. No – I am not looking for a fight – rather I believe in deterrence – not knowing if someone is armed really tends to stop stupid, aggressive behavior. And no – this isn’t a “white thang” – If you are _______ and law abiding (fill in the blank with whatever race or nationality you want to) than you can legally purchase a handgun with a minimum of fuss.

If Obama wins, stand by for the oppression to worsen. Obama’s brownshirts will be on the way.

Waxman already acts like a 1930’s Nazi, abusing his power.

Democrat Party = the new face of Fascism. Don’t believe in “global warming?” REVOKE THEIR METEOROLOGY CREDENTIALS. Publicly speak a differing viewpoint, and point out when they are lying? THE FAIRNESS ACT.

Anyone that could vote for a Democrat after the last 8 years of the Pelosi/Reid Democrats clearly has only been reading the headlines spewed by ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, and any paper with the word “Times” at the end of it’s name. They haven’t been seeking REALITY at all.

And if you haven’t informed yourself enough to know that it’s the Democrats that handed us the “energy crisis” and the Democrats that corrupted Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and their “subprime” mortgage project that ended up landing us in economic trouble does not know enough to cast a legit vote.

I choose to do this for it is my dream to leave my children with an education and a jump start to a better life. Now comes Mr. Obama who says he wants to tax hard working people for the Good of the less fortunate. Well if I choose to do better for my family, work that many ours, stick my neck on the line everyday by owning my own business give me 1 good reason why I should pay more taxes. I do donate WILLINGLY and not FORCEFULLY to local charities, fire dept., police dept., little league, etc. Come up with a plan that works for everyone, and stop trying to play Robbin Hood.

One more thing, Joe the plumber has no license, so why didn’t anybody think he is just an apprentice or journeyman. When people are learning the trades they don’t start out with licenses, they have to get so many hours of schooling and on the job training before a license. Oh by the way in the state of New Hampshire you don’t even need a builders license unlike the state of Mass. In Mass. we have re-modelers, builders, and unrestricted builders licenses.
So the bottom line is Joe had a legitimate question and has been demoralized by Mr. Obama.

I believe it is also important to examine the character of both individuals.

THANKS

From Dreams of My Father: “I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.”

From Dreams of My Father : “I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race.”

From Dreams of My Father: “There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.”

From Dreams of My Father: “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.”

From Dreams of My Father: “I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa , that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.”

It is a bad day when you have a liberal media attempting to steal an election from McCain. To correct someones claim about the secret service. They are not working for Bush. They work for the American people, black and white. It is awful only one man could hear the “kill Obama” insult. Oh yes, he is a liberal member of the media who was reprimanded for errors in his work in the past. Obama has no right to claim the ‘kill Obama’ report to be true. Also, to set the record straight, Bush did not deregulate the banking industry and Wall Street. That program was a part of the Clinton Administration and the Democrats in Congress. Check your facts.

These things are the reason I have changed my support from Obama to McCain. I am a disabled war veteran from the Vietnam War.

People grow up. There is nothing in this article that specifically says that the assailant was an Obama supporter. You all are just grabbing at straws. And as always when Republicans want to win they do anything, even make up stories and plant fake independents. People, take time to read for yourselves and get away from the 20 second sound bites that you all use for your political education. It is so ridiculous in this age of enlightment that we still need others to tell us what to think and we refuse to do our own research. Its no wonder why the rest of the world thinks that we are lazy people. We can’t even take the time to fully investigate allegations that may affect our lives but would rather lean on the likes of the Fox News Network, Lou Dobbs etc… for them to tell us what to think. People it is time you take your own future in your hands. Or are you too lazy to dothaty?

For starters, the document above should have the date displayed in the top right hand corner. Fraud!

Equal-Deregulation of the banking industry was a Republican sponsored bill in 1999 authored by Phill Graham of Texas(R). Check YOUR facts! Yes Clinton was a lame duck President at the time but BOTH houses of Congress were controlled by the Republican party. John McCain was Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee which oversees such things and was known as a “champion” of deregulation. BOTH houses of Congress were controlled by the Republican Party from 1994 until January 2007. Look it up!

To be honest I don’t much care for either of the candidates but I will support McCain this election. I have McCain yard signs and car magnets and I pity the poor fool who would risk his/her life trying to remove them from either my yard or car. This is a free country and I will support who I want without fear of reprisal!

I’m not racist but the media has made this election a “race issue” pitting Americans against Americans, doesn’t this remind you of the 60’s?

In my neck of the woods, I can’t even say the name Mccain let alone having a sticker on my car or a sign on my lawn. I don’t just think…I know I’ll be attacked and harass! I feel envious when I see an Obama sticker on someone’s car. I wanted a Mccain Palin sticker on my car too but I can’t because i’m afraid of being harassed. Already, a friend of a friend found out I was supporting Mccain and now will not talk to me. I started out supporting Mccain because I stand with him on issues but now, I support Mccain because its right, its needed is crutial. There is something very very wrong with how much bashing of conservatives I see all around me these days….something very wrong. Its almost like a supression of freedom of speech, freedom of thought and freedom to have a different point of view.

I can’t believe Obama is now openly attacking Joe the plumber. If the press allow a candidate to attack a citizen who has a different point of view then who will stand up for that citizen and who can be allowed to have a different point of view if obama is president?

This really makes me sad. All this “party-ism” and both sides same the same things about the other… “All Republicans are violent” and “All Democrats are violent”
It seems to me that we have violence on both sides. The man who hit that lady should go to jail and when his fellow inmates find out he hit a women, well, he’ll probably end up with more then a back eye.
But, what can I say for all the posts here that also promote fear and violence? “Go buy A gun”, “I’ll shot them were they stand”, “I’ll fight you until hell freezes over” the list goes on ad nauseam.
I want to live in a country that values things like Humility (because we, ourselves, are human and make mistakes); Tolerance (Because we live with other humans that make mistakes); Forgiveness (I am ashamed to say, I have been offered it more then I have offered it myself. I also feel what those resentments I hold onto do to my soul)
I doubt either candidate will destroy this great nation, only we can do that. Divided we fall. Then again, I think that if we do fall then we no longer deserve this nation. But if we remember that neither side has all the answers, That democracy is built on compromise (our founding fathers hated democracy’s so they had the foresight to form our nation as a republic); That through our history, when we swing to far to the right the next cycle swings us to far to the left (and I think most would agree that Bush has been a pretty far swing to the right) but we always end up back in the middle.
Lets put away the fear and trust that what has held us together this long will continue to do so. We live in fear of our neighbor, we fear terrorists, we fear our government, we fear our food, our water, we fear whats in our minds and whats in our hearts. The fear isn’t health, it promotes violence, stress and dis-ease.. It maybe anti-intuitive but lets put away the fear. Lets come together as a nation, under whoever “wins” the election and rebuild, create and pass on a nation that is better then the one we were given. Maybe one without fear?

Oct 18, 2008 - 5:44 am 1011. Firefly:

Democrats are into politics for the sole purpose of obscuring the definition of morality, and passing subsequent laws that make morality illegal in the United States.

Democrats want to turn all lights green and let everyone fend for themselves at the intersections, providing for themselves what they want without regard.

Because of the type of person who becomes a democrat is someone with an irresponsible and inconsiderate lifestyle of absolute freedom, their cause and their party, in effect, dismisses the Constitution. The Constitution was constructed to prevent the chaos that the democrats believe so strongly in.

Justice is freedom that is governed by restrictions. The restrictions that make the freedoms of everyone respect the rights of others.

Every issue a democrat brings-up against Republicans is a red-herring that he neither cares about or believes himself. It is merely a tactic at first, but democrats have a tendency of hypnotizing themselves through repetition of whatever comes into their minds into believing their whim somehow represents reality.

For over a decade the democrats warned America and the world of Iraq’s WMDs and nuclear capability. In 1998 President Clinton, in a nationwide address, advised the taking of Iraq to remove WMDs, nuclear weapons, Saddam, and install a democracy. Democrats cheered.

After the Republicans came into power, the democrats reversed their position and demonized the idea of WMDs in Iraq and Clinton’s war plan, and have been using the war in any way they can imagine to somehow regain power. The democrats deny any involvement in the Iraq war, and have wickedly imagined the attacks on us in Iraq as a profit to themselves.

At our nation’s greatest crisis, the Civil War, these same democrats wanted to destroy the United States rather than being considered equal to the black man; today, these democrats want to destroy the United States rather than being considered equal to unborn Americans—what a legacy.

Young or foolish minds are easily taken-in by the grandiose claims for the wonder of the democrat party’s humanitarianism, a claim that fills in the chasm of the real deficit of their nefarious and unconscionable selfishness, making adolescent immaturity a welcomed and enabled asset.

Teachers and professors throughout the land preach against America, indoctrinating young adults, whose reason and judgment area of their brain will not be fully developed until they are 25, that Marxism moral perversion is the way to go.

Democrats want other people’s money, other people’s reputation of good, other people’s lives, and take the pursuit of happiness away to fritter upon themselves from other deserving Americans.

But you must be sure: They find themselves superior in every possible way to Americans who are contrary and other than their dysfunctional and destructive disposition. Democrats have also granted themselves superiority, because they feel that is nice to steal too, to pretend good conscience.

The Bible calls them “SINNERS”, as the entire platform of the democrat party details precisely what Jesus Christ said he would condemn people to hell for.

This explains the democrat’s particular distaste for anything of Christianity, and of late have openly shown hate crime against Christians, creating spectacular lies against them in the hope to create a misunderstanding of what Christianity stands for, to protect themselves and their evil purposes.

The First Amendment assures and guarantees that in the eyes of the government, all beliefs are equal, and the origin of those faiths is nobody’s business.

But democrats seek to make the First Amendment say that they can exclude the Christian’s participation in the United States.

To say there is a separation of church and state is bigotry in its purest form. It would make as much sense to say there is a separation of democrats and state. It’s nowhere in the Constitution either.

Destroying the Constitution in this way is the only chance the democrats could have in their evil quest, since the Constitution would destroy them.

History itself has always had a name for the kind of people who wish to obscure decency and avoid moral law for the purpose of their unconscionable selfishness: “CRIMINAL”.

The criminality of democrats, once you understand it, is easily defeated.

As an Indpendent who’s voting for Obama I find this behavior by anyone appalling. It’s basically unprovoked assault from a person who like the rest of us, is stressed, fed up, and have had it with this election process (2 years worth almost), the bias coverage of the left and the even more biased coverage of the far right by Fox. During this crashing of our economy, the morals of our elected leaders non-existent, and middle class being taken advantage of really by both parties, tempers i’m afraid are gonna be out of control until this thing is over. I still think the man should be arrested and charged with assault and made to appear in court and offer each of these people an apology and as to why he do such a vicious and stupid thing like this.

Just like I’ve given McCain/Palin a pass on the nuts who’s been screaming violent racial epithets about Obama at their rallies, calling him a terrorist, kill him, off with his head towards an elected U.S. Senator, I have to give Obama a pass for this equally disturbing behavior. This election unfortunately has brought out the worst in everyone associated. The only silver lining to the racism, sexism, classism that’s been going on in this campaign and has been exposed openly is that now Americans can stop trying in their politically best way to pretend these problems don’t exist anymore and realize they are real they do exist and this election (thanks largely to biased media on both sides perpetuating it)has exposed it as such. Now the next question is now that we know it’s come to the forefront from it’s hibernating stage and is fully awake, how do we address this problem nationally and find a way to heal wounds the media has helped peel the scab off of? Black, White, Latino whatever the one common thing is we are going broke as a country fast without brakes in sight and right now arguing amongst each other over a damn election is not gonna make our current situations any better, it will actually make it worse. The rich will prosper and stay rich and the middle class will fall into low income poverty with the one’s who’s already been there. That’s a nice country to leave to our children and grandchildren.

And it probably will not be enough for them to go after this little old lady either. Now that’s real “audacity”, isn’t it.

laura t,

You my deary, bless your heart. It is nice to see such passion, but you are thoroughly disillusioned, william ayers, is a complete terrorist. Gordon Liddy is no terrorist, he broke the law, but committed no such bombings or terror as william ayers. You are completely off your rocker. Look, I am an independent voter, i voted for Gore in 2000, W in 04, both mistakes. Id have voted for Bush in 2000 and nobody in 04 if i could take it back. Nonetheless, im an undecided here this year, at the end of August i was leaning towards obama, but i dont trust him, not one bit. He mimicks hillary and mccain on all issues, and treats the ideas as if they are his. He must have learned that philosophy from his running mate.
Obama is a socialist, wealth redistribution? are you kidding me? our forefathers never intended for that, socialism is unconstitutional and unamerican. Raising taxes will kill us during a recession. The trickle down theory ain’t the reason for our economic hardship infact its the opposite. its repugs and dumbacrats faults, along with wall street but it aint the administrations actuall policy per se. Higher tazes on corporations make less jobs available therefore less production and less money circulating, obama is bad. now, McCain is old, maybe too experienced and could reach high senility by year 2 or 3 if he lives that long. Sarah palin is 4 years from being ready for the repugs. Both have dangers but dumbacrats are awful administrators and obama doesnt have America in his best interest it doesnt appear. McCain has a fair amount in common with Bush, but not as much as dumbs would like people to think.
Bottom line they are both evil, with a tinge of good. This is going to be an incredibley close final 2 weeks and election day, my guess obama wins 273-265 or mccain wins 274-264. Colorado will be the decider. Im sending in my absentee tuesday, and im not sure. We do need some sort of change, obama has more negatives then positives mccain is equal but i may very well vote obama bc he is black, i think its time to see what hes really all about.

The other obvious conclusion is he’s just a nutjob. Who knows if he’s even registered to vote? As far as the guy at the McCain rally – same comment. He may well be a McCain supporter – or he may just be a nutjob attracted to the hype of the rally. Either way, in a nation of 300 million or so people some are just nuts. The rest of us should not give them the attention they want, we should ignore them. Go into the voter booth, vote your conscience, and may whoever wins do right by the country.

From what I can see from the comments on here that I have read, most of you are against him. So how are they coming up with the big percentage numbers for him? Also I think the electoral votes stink!! I thought “we the people” and OUR votes were supposed to elect our officals? To me it looks like God, for some strange reason, intends for Obama to win.

Wow! I am amazed at the the extent to which any person will go to attempt to sway the thoughts of others. The pseudo writers are very amusing and the expectation that the readers will take the bait are probably quite reasonable. Thinking for ones self has certainly entered the cesspool. The obvious absence of any moral principles from this entire discussion reflect an adherence to political philosophy. I recommend trying to think in terms which are devoid of emotional attachment to political values. That would decrease a lot of the vicious attacks from either side. The sad commentary of all these blog statements: there will be no meaningful change regardless of the person elected to the White House. The solution to America’s problems have never lain in the political arena. How can one tell? Well, the beat goes on, regardless of the person in the White House. Mankind’s problems only multiply in the hands on ANY politician.

Let’s not lose sight of what actually happened here. A violent man physically assaulted another person, in this case a woman – which is not surprising because bullies always go for someone weaker. Someone who will do that will make any excuse for their actions. If it had not been this election, it would have been something else. Think about it – how many people here (on either side) have been angry over the election – and if you have a question, read some of the above comments. Yet how many have grabbed a wooden stick and pummelled (sp?) another human being with it? There is no excuse for such an action and this man should be tried in a court of law. Neither Senator Obama nor Senator McCain should be held responsible for the actions of some supporter with serious anger issues. It is a good thing this woman was not alone or on a less busy street or the outcome might have been even worse! The violence is what must be condemned, not some political candidate.

It’s amazing to me that Democrates shout ‘racist’ to anyone who does not support Obama. The only candidate that has brought race into the political arena is Obama and his cronies. Never once has John McCain or his supporters mentioned race. I personally vote for the individual, not the color of his skin and I would never ever vote for a Socialist! NOBAMA!!!

Oct 18, 2008 - 6:12 am 1031. Concerned American:

I USE TO BE a democrat…… I am in a biracial marriage, with biracial children and have people of all races, religions and beliefs as my closest friend. I grew up in a biracial home and went to school in an urban community where ethnic diversity and understanding was part of the curriculm. I am the furthest thing from a racist. Yet I keep hearing overt and not so overt chants of racist being spewed by the media and the far left liberals whenever someone is not for Obama. I have researched both candidates extensively and have come to conclude that I simply cannot Obama, and here is why. He has an extremely limited track record and after researching him I have found that he has closer ties than he would have us know to dangerous and extremely radical people. His ties to Ayers are substantial, he served on several boards and launched his political career from his living room! Obama says that Ayers is just a neighbor that lives down the street. Meanwhile Obama wrote a blur for one of Ayers books. Another very scary close friendship is with Kenyan Dictator-like leader Odinga. Odinga and Obama refer too each other as cousins, they come from the same people in Kenya (Obama’s father was from there). Odinga has been behind the murder, rape and pilaging of tens of thousand innocent Kenyans in the quest to force a power sharing arrangement with the elected government. During Obama’s senatorialship, he went to Kenya to campaign with Odinga. There are photos and emails discovered between the two that have surfaced but are being completely ignored by the media. Other ties include Rezkco, Acorn, Rev Wright, the Palestinian Liberation Organization, a radical terrorist group, etc. In conclusion my fellow Americans, for as much as I would love to vote for a Democrat, as that is I most identified with previously, I simply cannot this time. I love this country too much to let it be run by such an unknown and questionable candidate, despite the fact that I would be honored to see the 1st African American president in a nation with such a dishonarable history towards blacks.

It was unfounded that someome yelled “Kill him” in reference to Obama at a McCain rally. There were secret service people all over the place, and they heard no one yell such nonsense. No doubt in my mind that some democrap made up the story, just as ACORN is a democrap organization to put dead people, and frauds on their democrap ballots voting for Barrack Hussein Obams. As alway, democraps are trying to steal the election as they have done in the past and then blame Republicans with fabrications.

God’s Angel – You are so right – What has happened to the America I remember? The America where even if you disagreed with what someone said – you still supported their right to say it. Now if you dare to venture outside “groupthink” or “group speak” – you get labeled a racist or a homophobe or whatever the current in vogue pejorative term of the day happens to be. This nation was built on the belief that freedom is a gift from almighty God – and the sole legitimate function of civil government is to protect that freedom. I am shocked and saddened by recent Supreme Court Rulings as well. You want to insure that elections are free and fair – the Supreme Court says no – As we witnessed in Ohio – even with proof of widespread voter registration fraud – you can break the law if you are democrat. This is a page right out of the Communist Party’s Manual.

Its obvious for one, that the author of this blog is a sore McCain supporter, its also apparent who most of the other bloggers support. Listen, all the hate inspired at McPalin rallies was documented by reporters, not Obama campaign. By claiming otherwise, you folks are just showing your paranoid side. Its just like a frustrated woman preacher at Bourbon st. in New Orleans trying to get attention so she can rescue people from the clutches of strippers and devils. Son of a bitch, its a whore alley, what the fudge are people there for? trying to get lectured in religion? You have GOT to understand, when people provoke, there will be a reaction. Don’t blame that guy for ‘voilence’, that looser of a bitch started the fight. anyways, since you have aleady decided your vote, i guess all you can do is vent here. good luck with your issues.

With all the nuts in this town, what I would like to know is at what point did you confirm the attacker’s politics, and how exactly did you determine that he was a liberal? Nice try, but more often than not crazy is just crazy, and to someone who is familiar with NYC the sensationalism of your headline dosen’t seem to be supported at all by the story.

An isolated case, or even a few, or several are blips in the mass of supporters on either side in this election, yet you make these sweeping statements about huge segments of the electorate. Get a clue! You folks come across as conspiracy theorists and crackpots rather than reasonable, thoughtful citizens participating in the most central dialogue of democracy. Do your party a favor and shut the hell up before you scare more of your actual intelligent constituency into the Democratic fold!

I am an independent who supports Obama. Regarding the tax increase on those making over 250k, there seems to be some confusion.

A business whose gross receipts of 250K would not fall into this category. Small businesses, especially those that work on construction, should be limited liability corporations(it costs about 1k to do the paperwork). Anyone who does not do this should have their head examined, because if you work as a private individual a person can literally sue you for anything you have.

What is taxable, however, are the salaries that are paid to the individual employees of the company(even the owner is classified as an employee). If he gets paid over 250k a year (which probably means his company grosses a million in receipts), he will have to pay a tax increase under the Obama plan. His tax rate will be those of the Clinton years. Remember those years of high growth and budget surpluses?

Two things that seem to be very prevelent during this pre-election champain is fear & hatred. I have read several comments by US Citizens and most of them express some type of fear of what may happen or anger. There doesn’t seem to be much confidence in either political party. I, too, am extreemly fearful of what will happen after the election. One thing that bothers me tremedously is that one of the couples running for president (& yes, his wife does have a great influence on him, either one, so we’re actually putting both into office) one of the wives displayed lack of respect for my country through her comments. I have lost several family members who served in the military and gave the ultimate sacrifice, so to have someone making decisions for my that doesn’t value my country as I believe a leader should is very scary to me. Will the so-called ‘checks & ballances’ built into the political system be enough?? If you have strong feelings either way about this coming election be sure to get out and vote – make yourself heard by placing your vote. Then after the election don’t just sit back and let things happen. Pay attention to the political happenings and make yourself heard if something truly concerns you. Those in office can’t work with us and for us if we keep silent. I believe we’ve reached a season in our country’s life where we basicly have to vote for the lesser of two evils.

It’s (really) old news that I registered as a Democrat at the age of 21, but she can’t stand the thought that I might vote against McPalin and that I have less than ultra-right views. So she wants to get rid of me. BTW, I have been looking in my library copy of Audacity of Hope for that quote about “standing with the Muslims.” Can somebody please tell me what page it is on, or at least what chapter?

To Laura T
About the lies that the press is left leaning: Look at magazine covers and you get the idea of who they favor. Some of the magazine covers that I have seem him on are Newsweek, People, GQ, Vibe, and to prove they treat him like a rock star, Rolling Stone. Sure McCain and Palin have been on the cover of Newsweek, but Obama has been on more than the two of them combined and one more cover had Michelle Obama while none had Cindy McCain. You used TV to prove your point, including the former Bill Clinton aide George Stephanopolous? and the rest of the crew on ABC that during the last election, kept interviewing groups and buses of Democrats to get a feel of how the election was going. I must admit they did apologize, saying they did not know what areas are blue and red, then they went back to their blue and red maps.

Your age discrimination against McCain “old fart” is akin to the people of either party who might vote based on skin color.

ACORN does some good, but they do hire a few people who are too shy or lazy to do what they are supposed to do so they make up stuff. As a McCain supporter, I would only want the cards checked out. I had not heard that McCain’s campaign had gone as far as you claim. I do however remember that after the final debate, the fact checker proved that Obama had lied about his ties to ACORN, having financially supported them a lot more than he has let on.

About the racist being apparently wrong because it does not apply to him since he has greater ties to his mother’s white ancestry. All racists are wrong for generalizing based on race, but your basis of being tied closer to his mother’s white ancestry is wrong. He is black, he keeps going back to Kenya promising to do great works for them, he got 20 years of spiritual guidance in an African-American church led by the African-American pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and help me fill in the blanks on the two books he wrote, Audacity of Hope and Dreams from My _____.

Am I afraid to show my support to McCain/Palin, you bet! Is my teenage daughter afraid to show her support in school, YOU BET! Am I afraid to put a sticker on any of my three cars, YOU BET! Last election I spoke up in my business law class and had my communist law professor lead an attack on me, I went from almost perfect scores to fighting for every point after that, funny thing is I lead the study group, I tutored my fellow students and yet I was struggling to maintain my A after that. It was not isolated to one class.
In school it was unbelievable the rants, not based on facts that were constantly spewed by the so called teachers. We have sat by and let our schools be taken over by these loons, and they are teaching the next generation, what have we done!? Wake up people.

Interesting how so many of these anti-liberal comments have violent undertones, about buying guns, etc. while at the same time condeming the violence of one particular man who will face the music in the courts, as he should. How can you berate someone else’s violence by threatening to commit violence of your own? You’ve just invalidated any moral standing you were on to condemn another’s violence. Whatever happened to turning the other cheek? On both sides, mind you. If we continue this descent into hate and antagonism and division, this country will implode and the terrorists will truly have won. Do what you can for your candidate, volunteer, and go and vote one election day. But once it’s over and (please God let every vote be counted as it was cast) the results are in, be ready to live with whatever the result is. Be ready to love your neighbor regardless of their yard sign. Because that is democracy.

I would bet this is not as uncommon as we think. Shortly after the McCain/Obama debate had ended in Oxford, MS, a friend of mine, a middle-age white woman, was visiting a casino in nearby Tunica, MS. She sat down at an empty slot machine and had been playing it for about 20 min. when an angry black woman began berating her, saying that was her machine and she only left it to get change. My friend refused to turn the machine over, and the black woman sat next to her and began bumping and shoving my friend, until casino security arrived and removed the black woman. The same woman returned a short time later, and got in my friend’s face, and snarled that “when our man gets into the White House, we gonna come back and slit you white *itches’ throats!” And then the black woman walked away, laughing. If the roles had been reversed, the FBI would have called it a “hate crime” assault!

I wish I could say I was the only student who felt this way but I am not. My friends who are black are terrofied that they will be found out as McCain supporters, funny thing is they are not thrilled with McCain but they think Obama is a sham artist. I have a debate teacher who constantly tells us how horrible the Republican party is, she also commented that when she got her rebate check in order to spite Bush, and not help his plan in regards to America’s economic look, she wrote her rebate check out to Green Peace, my Mom tells me Green Peace resorts to terror like tactics at times, putting human lifes in peril, guess as long as it is for a liberal cause that can be overlooked. My Mom said isn’t it funny, her hate for the Republican party/President Bush is stronger than her love for her country and fellow Americans. Now wouldn’t it have made more sense, and been more in the so called spirit of the compassionate liberal (Keep hearing about it, yet to see it) to have signed her check over to an abused woman’s shelter, RED CROSS, or even an homeless shelter?

I still think McCain is a good guy that lost his way. I blame his campaign, and his pick of Sarah Palin is making a mockery of all of us working class Americans. I’m a devout Christian and don’t appreciate all this Joe Sixpack, hillbilly tone she uses to address us “small town” folk.

They’re bringing up valid points about their opponent, not racist ideas. To make the assertion they are creating the environment that fuels this so-called “hate” is vile, absurd, and smacks of desperation. As in, “I don’t have a credible argument against it it so I’ll call you a racist and a hatemonger to shut you up.”

Even asking a simple question of The One gets your life turned inside out. Think Joe’s life would have been examined like it has if the asked a similarly embarrassing question of McCain? I didn’t think so either.

Since when did actually contesting an election become racist? Get it out of your “progressive” minds that we are voting for McCain because of racial solidarity, we’re not. But it sure seems you are voting for Obama purely because of his racial make-up, because you keep pointing to it voer and over again. What, will he wash away the sins? Will it be the “proof” you can point to to show you’re not racist? I posit to you “tolerant” progressives that most Republicans are the least racist here – they’re voting based on “the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.”

What is happening in our country is very sad and not what our forefathers who sacrificed so much intended it to be.I remember many a conversation with my grandfather and the reasons he stated why he jumped on the boat and came to this country. It was not for social security, health care or big retirement savings. It was for reasons more important than those. He also always noted when he came through Ellis Island the folkes who were not allowed in. It was for various reasons but some were sent back.
What happened to the lady in New York City is very wrong and why other citizens didn’t step in and stop it is a part of how our country has changed.
With regards to this Acorn stuff, all of us should encourage everyone to vote, it is a great responsibility of freedom, but to encourage someone to vote strictly for your own personal gain is a wrong against your fellowman.

Tax breaks for 95% of the people? Really? Obama has NEVER voted for tax cuts before. Wow things change when your running for the office of President, eh? And about those 95% tax cuts, well most of them are actually tax credits wherein Obama will take money from the HAVEs and give it to the HAVEnots. Socialism anyone??? Not that anyone will see tax cuts with a Dem Congress and a Dem Pres. Nope and your a fool if you think so. Dem’s SPEND and Grow Govt. And this will not change.

Regardless of the mudslinging, regardless of skin color, regardless of the party you support, one thing is clear. Mr. Obama has won every debate hands down. Mr. Obama has been steady while Mr. McCain continues to jump all over the place. The job they both want is the most stressful job in the world, it ages you like no other. Mr. McCain is 72 and will not have the energy to make it thru the tough four years ahead, which means that hypocrite Pailn would be in charge and that my friends is more scary than anything I can imagine. Mr. McCain made a huge mistake with this selection of a running mate and when he loses, this decision will haunt him forever! I know it’s difficult for you bible thumpers to have an open mind, but if you would listen to Mr. Obama for one day – really listen – you will want to give him a chance. I know President Bush did you proud but a lot of others just don’t see it that way.

I am amazed at the ignorance of you people here. You cry equal rights!… you cry “No special treatment”. Yet your reality is to remain 50 years behind the times. It stuns me that todays ignorance is so rampant in our society. It’s overwhelmingly sad that it’s across the board, black and white. I know I havent decided on who I will cast my vote for. I am bi-racial like Obama but some things he supports I dont agree and feel strongly about. I feel very strong about marriage although I resepct your right to live as you choose. I would never cast a vote for anyone based on race or economical status. I like allot of things John Mccain speaks about but his voting record scares me a little. He also voted against making MLK Jr. a national holiday 15 times. Then said it was a mistake at a rally for Black voters. For me a woman and a minority… that concerns me that he has no idea about the issues I face and that my children will daily. I am also a business owner and am concern about the tax increase, how is it really going to help small businesses who are trying to stay afloat?. They need relief too Mr. Obama!. How are we going to implement universal healthcare in our current economical situation?. I mean how are we REALLY going to do it?. I know this run for president is about many things, and let’s be honest.. RACE is one of them. But let’s be smarter than the average bear shall we?.. and look at the facts and then decide. This is our country we are speaking about. I want it for the better.. for white, for black, for rich for poor, for male and female… for everyone…

Is it a coincidence that he claims he wants to buy the business he works for and that it earns just over the $250,000 mark that Obama has set for taxes?? A set up by the McCain camp? Interesting…

I was happy to wake up and see a few more Obama supporters’ bloging… Has anyone else noticed how much more violent the tone in Repub/Conserv posts? Running scared that’s for sure.

Thank goodness we will have a new Pres soon, one who actually has the best interests for the majority of the country at heart. That’s right… Obama is the future like it or not… and the majority of the country believes it. So, conservatives start thinking in terms of real change.. not just a slogan by an old, pasty rich guy with dementia and a soccor/pitbull mom who explain the bailout let alone run one of the most powerful countries in the world… (Hey Sarah pick up a newspaper and learn about the world outside of Alaska… oh that’s right, you can’t name one newspaper you’ve ever read)

Why can’t we all get along? is right, and to all who say this story is a horrible example of the extreme left, have you not heard of the story about the McCain supporter, a white man, hitting the Obama supporter with a CAR, simply because SHE was Black. The hate is on BOTH sides and it’s unacceptable. We don’t need to start getting violent and divided especially in our sensitive situation. These times are one of if not the toughest we’ve experienced. We are at war, our economy is broken, and now violence is starting to emerge because of this race, which is completely ignorant. Neither candidate can really repair the damage done to us, so stop acting like they’re miracle workers. You have to remember that they’re both human and can screw up like our current leader.

Hey Poor Joe, nice name choice by the way, says a lot for you! Sounds like you’re the typical Obama supporter. Online, short on cash, just waiting for the “messiah” to get elected so you can collect. Guess what, not going to happen. We’re so far in the hole, you’ll never get what you’re hoping for. Why not try this? Get off the computer, ride or stroll on over to the nearest Community College, and register for a class so you can do what the rest of America is doing and WORK for the money you get. You all think this will be payday for you if Oprah’s man gets elected, and I’m telling you, you may get a small amount, but it won’t be enough, or at least not the lottery you’re thinking. You’re going to have to WORK for it. The US is too far in the hole. Even big spending, dried up, Pelosi won’t be able to print more because we no longer have the backing to print it! This will take at least a few years to return to profitability. Just think you could have a degree by then and WORK for yourself – no more excuses, and no more waiting for “the one” to save you, you can do it yourself! If just takes WORK!

You know the ones where they celebrated Tony Snow’s cancer return & death, where they wondered why Dick Cheney’s heart kept beating, where they’ve mocked and smeared Pres Bush for years, where they’ve ripped Sarah Palin & her family to shreds for everything.

So you can keep your indignation to yourselves. Perhaps you need to clean up your own house before you fault people here.

Why is it that the Secret Service reviewed tapes of the Palin rally and found no evidence of someone shouting “Kill him!”, as reported by a reporter, but found more like “Tell him!” and the liberals are crying “Whitewash!”, yet the good Rev. Jessie Jackson was caught on tape saying Obama ought to be “castrated”, (a polite term), and nothing was done to Jackson. A threat to castrate someone certainly sounds like a threat of violence, and threatening to castrate a Black man also sounds like “Lynching”! Where is the equality here?

I live in an apartment complex in the Atlanta area, and several cars with McCain bumper stickers have had windows broken. There’s no way I’m going to sport any McCain items due to the violence his supporters sow. The complex has told me privately, that they are quietly asking each white resident to stay indoors the night of election returns, as the management expects violent celebrations or anger (same people in both cases), and don’t have the security personnel. The Obamunist Mob is going to hurt a lot of people during the next four years…this is the shape of our future. They want “pay-back”…so with Obama’s election; I’m going to have to move out of the city for safety reasons.

To say that republicians do not believe this way is not true either, I have seen first hand negative actions coming from that side also.

Maybe it’s time for John McCain’s wife to make the same statement Michelle Obama makes — only instead of black people getting it and coming back home, maybe white will gets it and honor a man whom have actually sacrifice for his country!

It happens at least daily against conservatives, especially at colleges, where extreme leftism is rampant. I also have heard virtually no cases of voter fraud perpetrated by conservatives, while among Democrats it is a way of life. You may be a reasonable person, but you are surrounded by evil people.

Where is there no rasim in this?? Unfortuanly for Obama he has a small chance of making it through his first term without some dumb rasist idiot trying to kill him.

So many right wingnuts, so little common sense. As the article was so biased to the republican mantra, doesn’t it make you wonder what was left out? Would it have looked as good had the article said something like, “Witnesses reported the woman stating, “We cannot vote for a black arab terrorist!” and decried Obama supporters as un-American.” That would really have put a damper on the whole thing now wouldn’t it. when you think of wife/woman beating though, generally a drunk redneck comes to mind, and what base does that come from? Oh, i guess as it was the liberal parties that championed equal rights no matter what, including laws protecting women, that is must always have been the democrats that beat up women! Seriously! You can have idiots no matter where you go and no matter what issue you support. The reason that republicans call the hatred at Palin/McCain rallies a myth, is because by admitting it, they’d be admitting that their base is, in fact, very unpatriotic and unamerican. Again, not a good thing for the party who is saying, “We don’t want Obama to take wealth from those that make millions and give it to you guys who make only a few thousand! That just isn’t right. Lets just keep paying CEOs more and more, and we won’t increase the minimum wage for another 40 years or so. That sound good with you guys?” The reason so many McCain signs are disappearing is because supporting McCain has become a front for supporting racism and other equal nasty social injustices. Maybe if republican’s weren’t so good at being the scum of the world in most instances then people wouldn’t have such a negative opinion of the terrorism and hate/fear-mongering that the republicans call the main planks of their platform.

Assault in any form is wrong, although we don’t know the full story. Keep in mind the the piece that you have read are the accounts of the victim, written by the DA. You should wait until you read the defenses piece before you decide. There are three sides to everystore, and here you’ve only seen one. Its really sad that some Americans are REALLY AFRAID OF THE CHANGE THAT IS DESTINED TO COME! My commonsense says that its not the liberals, minorities, immigrants, poor, etc……
OBAMA YALL!

In that I am of the age of supposed “wisdom” I would like to share what I have learned over the past 6 decades:
In U.S. history, politics and politicians have never changed. I expect a percentage of truth and lies from all “Candidates”. The greatest percentage of what I have always been witness to is half-truths – “Spin” as it is referred to today.
Early on in our history “Spin” was found to create “The Passionate Voter”. There are many levels of passion, and during uncertain times in our history, personal passion has reached the boiling level for many of our citizens. Some predisposed citizens actually have, and do hate their fellow citizen, as well as a candidate. The most passionate citizens have acted, and will unfortunately, act upon that hatred in the future.
I do not and will not buy into Spin. I rely on my own intellect.
But, in all my lifetime, I have never witnessed the volume of citizens that have “boiled over”.
For the very first time, I am truly worried about the future of our citizens and country staying “United” (i.e. The United States of America”).
Passion is a good thing, but not in politics. The best passion is passion for your fellow U.S. Countryman.

Good god who keeps saying “we don’t have proof that the attacker was a Obama supporter”?.
Why else do you think that the lady was atacked?
Also,notice that the race of the attacker was kept somewhat secret…
Imagine if the atacker was a white man hitting a black female Obama supporter(I know,it would be out of the twilight zone – but just pretend),there would be national news that would MAKE CERTAIN that the race of the attacker and victim were well known.
The whole multi-culti,double standard dynamic is sickening and revolting to millions of us whites and this will inevitably lead to civil war,only this time,the blacks will be set back 100 years.

“OBAMA MANIA” is so out of line where I work that I can’t even mention the fact that I’m a conservative or that I’m voting for McCain, because if I do, people start to agrue with me and imply that there’s something wrong with me. Look! the Metro paper where I live has Obama’s picture on it and below his picture in big bold letters it reads: MESSIAH. Need I say more.

the storm troopers in Nazi Germany came from the socialist left; the gulags of the Soviet Union came from teh communist left; the killing fields of Cambodia came from the communist left; the censorship on our college campuses come from the liberal left; the petty destruction of an average American who had the temerity to question the messiah comes from the left…

Laura T. you need to get your head out from under you know where. All of the big time networks like CNN, NBC (especially MSNBC), CNS and ABC all hate the Republicans. If that had been a Democrat being attacked by a Republican the Dems would have their panties in a wad and it would be headline news. Another group is the skanks called Hollywood stars. They need to get a life based in reality.

Oct 18, 2008 - 8:37 am 1155. Hallacek:

Anyone is to be commended for their military service, but it’s a whole other thing to present a contorted version of one’s service in order to give a perspective to innocent bystanders that is not a true representation of the individual in question and “glorified” for personal gain. Half truths are still lies, and John McCain was a POW because he was a shitty pilot, but that makes him a great American hero? A guy who graduated 5 from the bottom in a class of nearly 900 in the Navy. He was only allowed to fly because of his name.

What is this country coming too. We all have a choice to make. The socailist reforms of the 60’s and 70’s led us to 21% interest rates and a recession. The reagan era economy led us too the high’s and low’s of our nation ecomony. Failures of the dot.com in the 90’s the fall of the enron’s and worldcom. Then the Attack of terrorist on our nation’s land marks and the death of 4000 civilians and now the greed and corruption of our largest lending instutions that have to be bailed out by the american tax payor. Now people being attack for voicing the political view on the street. The american people can’t not expect one person or one man to lead this nation in the right way. We are a nation of many views and nationalities. That live with certain god given right’s and freedoms. The president who ever he is has many responsibilities but the Utmost of his responsibilities is too guarantee the FREEDOMS that we as americans in enjoy on a daily basis’s and take for granted as getting up in the morning. Many have critized our current president for the war’s we are fighting. But know one has thanked him either that a Car Bomb hasn’t gone off on there street or in the town or city since 9-11 Because his action and termination to Keep this country free of the cowards we are fighting. His action have kept the enemy fighting us in there back yards not ours. So when you vote in Nov. Remember this whoever is our next president. Will inherit a war we didn’t not start A war that does not end with a change in the white house. But a war where the ememy has no problem killing innocent american civilians and will do so agian if given a chance. So as american’s in the land of the free who do we trust that will make the right decision With the BRAVEST of Brave our Fighting men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces. We shouldn’t have to fight each other or harm each other there is a whole radical organzation just itching to do more harm to us any way they can.

For the last month I’ve been a member of a southern TV station’s undecided voter panel and I’ve found that when it comes to stupid stunts, thoughtless comments and a generally high level of anger, it’s those who favor McCain who are acting out. With Palin and now McCain demonizing Obama and those “libruls”, what do you expect? Just for the record; I’m a Goldwater Republican who has watched his party get hijacked by idealogues and idiots. If Bush was the best Republicans can do then IT IS time to let go and let Obama and the Democrats run the show for awhile. And no, McCain isn’t Bush, he just wraps himself in the flag and votes Bush’s line thus making himself a true dittohead. And we do not need to copy the last eight years for the next four.

HEY Jenny:#1110.
Thanks for ur advice but i did work over 30 years for what i’m getting (drawing) (Disability + a small retirement from my union). Joe the plummer thinks if he works harder, makes more money he shouldn’t pay more taxes, what a joker.

A work week is considered 40 hours. I worked from 60 to 90 hours a week for years, good reason for being disable?. I worked hard and i worked more than 2 work weeks in one week but guess what Joe the Plummer, i had to pay double and tripple the taxes a 40 hour worker paid. I always thought any hours i worked over 40 per week should not be taxed, it was on my own time, i still feel the same but it will never change because of greed.

You are right Joe the Plummer, the harder you work and the more money you make the more taxes you have to pay unless you’re fortunate enough to be a lawyer, rich or know someone that knows all the loop holes for the wealthy that will help you defraud the Gov. then you Joe the Plummer will pay more taxes when you become rich or(over $250,000.00 per year).
Yes we should consider it patriotic to WANT to pay more taxes if we are rich, work harder, or longer hours to help the poor.

By the way Jenny i am poor and proud of it but i have enough to enjoy a poor style life. My monthly income is $1957.00 for me and my wife, she has no income what so ever.
Yes i picked a name that fits my income.
Poor Joe

Dave,
And the man who robbed the bank last night, could have been a McCain supporter. Oh yeah, the women who shoplifted today could actually support Obama. By the way, the grandfather in Nevada who is linked to the kidnapping of his grandson, due to drug ties…could support McCain.
The point is…Who Cares…Obama didn’t order the man to do it. Maybe the perp has mental health issues, and believes that he’s the modern day Jesus Christ. Wrong is wrong, what does it have to do with the election and voting on November 4th.

There is obviously a bunch of radical liberals who commented here, full of anger and hate, some of them just plain whacky! And their comments are exactly what I would expect. In my ultra-liberal state and county when you put out a McCain yard sign or sticker on your car, they are destroyed or removed. I resent my voice being suppressed! So much for decency, since the Obama signs remain! This is what Socialism brings, the lib environment promotes crime and aids it, and if Obama the messiah is put into the white house aided by head-in-the-sand libs and helped by fraudulant voter registration, then even the idiots voting for him will pay a deep price. I do not want a Socialist/Marxist govt in my country, that is a short throw from dictatorship, which I now have in my partisan lib county and state. I resent the intrusion, and I resent my voice being suppressed. I will buy my gun now to make sure I have it if the messiah wins this unbalanced, biased race!

McCAIN on Gordon Liddy: “Well, you know, I’m proud of you (convicted felon). I’m proud of your family. I’m proud to know your son, Tom, who’s a great and wonderful guy. And it’s always a pleasure for me to come on your program, Gordon. And congratulations on your continued success and adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great.”

Liddy’s “continued success and adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great:” Did McCain mean to include Liddy’s instructions to listeners of his radio show in 1994 (around the time Ayres and Obama were on a board together discussing education programs and other plots) on how to shoot Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agents (aim for the head)?
If ATF agents attempt to curtail a citizen’s gun ownership, Liddy counseled, “Well, if the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms comes to disarm you and they are bearing arms, resist them with arms. Go for a head shot; they’re going to be wearing bulletproof vests.”

Federal agents, many with wives and kids….shoot them in the head? Yeah…Liddy…great American Patriot.

You have a right to vote for who you please. But what is this all about noone can mention who they are voting for. If you like the last 8 years then vote for McCain, if you want a new direction vote for Obama. But all of this name calling is outrages. Here’s a thought why are people willing to fight over this election. While the administration sits quietly in Washington that screwed all of us both right and left. Why not have a peacful protest to proclaim our outrage. I say we should boo Bush right out of office !

Oct 18, 2008 - 8:52 am 1165. John:

Why must we draw any conclusions from this news story? A crazy man beat a woman… This incident provides no insight into this election, the candidates, their policies, nor their supporters.

Oct 18, 2008 - 8:53 am 1166. Cynthia:

The frustration and anger the right feels has nothing to do with Obama’s race or personal life. He’s a flaming Socialist, and refuses to own up to it. It’s pretty rich to push radical leftish policies and promote the image of being reasonable and middle-of-the-road at the same time. As for intimidation, I’ve seen a McCain yard sign destroyed as I walked down the street. In 2004, I was told by a child (who was undoubtably repeating a grown-ups remarks), that my pro-Bush sign was racist. Soon after, my sign disappeared.

Laura T. is so misinformed its’ impossible to cope with her mistakes,so,having lived in Hawaii when Obama was born I can state with reasonable assurance that his fairy tale of being discriminated against is so much BS. He would have been, like most “Happa-Haole” that is half white, half something else, very common in 1960’s Hawaii and the base for the “Hawaii for the Hawaiians” movement that was going on then. In addition he lived in Waikiki, hardly a slum (then). His grandfather and grandmother did raise him, his grandmother worked in a bank and I believe ended her career as a VP. Obama “threw her under the bus” when she was “accosted” by a vagrant at a bus stop. The vagrant was black?. Obama says he never forgave her for her “racism”. In Hawaii we had a lot of colors, black American sailorts and soldiers, orientals of various kinds, samoans..etc. but I don’t recall a single riot (race related).
Mr. Obama started this raced crap himself in South Carolina and now its getting out of hand; and I do feel if he loses America is in for a series of national riots. IMHO these are being planned right now by Ayers and the Underground. Before you laugh consider; there have been at least two articles in the Philadelphia newspapers predicting “race and class riots”, and James Carville said much the same thing after the second debate.
Obama is an opportunist, he was trained by Saul Alinsky devotees, hooked up with Ayers, Kahlidi, Rezko and Wright…when called on the associations he has denied them until he couldn’t then dumped them. He is currently associated with Odinga in Kenya, a really nice guy who was/is responsible for ethnic cleansing and genocide.
He is a Marxist Socialist, not a Democrat. Vote for him at your own peril.

Dear, #704. Scared by these posts:
I too am amazed at the vitriol…. it is most certainly a sign of things to come.

Your statement:
“Guns have never been the answer to any domestic problem in this country…” belies your follow up statement of “standing with the intellectuals of this country.” You are wrong. We have seen this in our country’s past, it is commonly referred to as the American Civil War. Many of the economic and political events leading up to the hostilities of 1861 – 1865 are eerily similar to todays events.

A viable third party alternative to the locked political process of today is imperative for the long term health of this marvelous nation. Until that time, a proven Pro-American Team is our only option. Say what you will of McCain / Palin….. at least they are not communists.

Oct 18, 2008 - 9:00 am 1170. Buck Farack:

Simple economics 101 people. Our country was founded on Capitalism. It has prospered due to CAPITALISM. That 3-letter word out of Biden’s mouth, J-o-b-s (I believe that’s 4, Mr. Genius vice president hopeful) is created as a result of CAPITALISM. Businesses flourish as a result of CAPITALISM.

The only jobs created with SOCIALISM are GOVERNMENT jobs. The only people that prosper in a socialistic state are those that benefit from the wealth of others. Small businesses are stifled and destroyed by socialism. Unemployment numbers rise due to socialism.

Nobama supporters are duly kept in the dark, uninformed and uneducated out of necessity. This is how the democrats protect their power base, their influence and their jobs. Their ideology is that a follower is much better than a leader. Further, they believe that an educated man (or woman) is a dangerous thing.

They treat their supporters as they would children, telling them what to do and expecting them to then do it.

Any body complaining about this incident maybe needs to be reminded if they really know what’s going…? In any elections or competition we all expect such kind of confrontations. How many obama supporters have been assaulted or ridiculed and no bothered..it was still business as usual. Is it because this was a gender issue? In all fairness, I do not know how Obama’s name comes into this. Now even if a husband and wife fight over their election candidate Obama or Mcain will be blamed. That’s being unfair to our candidates. Let me remind all that in any game, we expect such issues.

Oct 18, 2008 - 9:02 am 1173. S.E. Coleman:

Laura T., your rant showed just how little you know about your candidate Barry Soetoro aka B. H. Obama!!

I think he spend not one day “growing up” in Kansas. After Hawaii he was in Indonesia with his MUSLIM stepfather and his converted to Islam mother and on his school records he IS listed as a Muslim AND AN Indonesian national!! From there he was shipped to HAWAII to ,yes, live with his grandparents. He attended the most prestigious school in the islands and was still known as Barry.

Growing up he NEVER really lived the life of a “black” American in the mainland USA. HE is highly endorsed by Louis Farrakhan. Have you ever heard of him, Laura?? He believes that with your candidate in the White House there will be a great rise of The Muslim Nation. Are you prepared for that??

You seem to be jealous that Cindy McCain’s father worked hard and turned a small investment into a shining example of capitalism!! Horrors, how much percent of their fortune do you deem YOUR right to have??

But, hey Laura, and the other Obamanics, IF he is elected by your lack of knowledge on what is truly going on, you will get exactly what you deserve for YOUR ignorance and the entire nation with suffer.

Wow, 1160 comments about this story and counting. On the one hand, I have to say thank God for the Internet, because if this had been the 1960s this kind of story would never have seen the light of day.

On the other hand, the Internet has now created the kind of divided, partisan society we had hoped never to see in our lifetime. To top that, we’ve got one side or the other suggesting illegal acts in order to keep the “other” side in line. In whose line? Yours?

“In this world, there is right, and there is wrong, and that distinction is not difficult to make.” One might think that quote came from the mouth of one of our Founding Fathers, or another patriotic soul from back in the day when we actually fought for our freedom – but no, this came from a comic book writer, and was placed in the mouth of a certain super-heroic character. But the words resonate – there is right and wrong in this world, but you have to be willing to stand up for right, even if you don’t personally agree with it. And you have to be willing to fight against wrong, even if somehow you might benefit from that wrong.

It’s called “truth.” And “justice.” This partisan bickering and name-calling needs to stop, so we can get our country back on track. And whoever is elected to whatever office needs to understand the requirement that they represent us all, not just those who voted for them (or who lined their pockets with campaign cash).

Let’s get to work.

Oct 18, 2008 - 9:02 am 1175. Whoa:

To John Clement: “by the way, I firmly believe that a prerequisite for government service should be time spent in the military” So…I guess that would rule out the current president since he chickened out and went into the Texas Air National Guard with help from his family connections and then was awol during large swatches of that time. Or Cheney who requested 4 draft deferrments and never spent time in the military. If only your policy was in place over 8 years ago we could have avoided all that crap we had to deal with in Bush/Chenney. Believe me…if I had a choice between an honest, intelligent, thoughtful president with unquestionable ethics over the last 8 years versus seeing Obama win this year…I would take my chances on someone else leading the country the next 4-8 than Obama. Bush/Cheney have done more to damage this country than any other administration in my lifetime. I’m 43 by the way.

Oct 18, 2008 - 9:03 am 1176. Not in react!:

Wow – I’ve been blogging and expressing my opinion all over and NONE – anywhere – are filled with as much hate and dissension as this one. GET A GRIP folks! There are lies and deceit on both sides (as CLEARLY evidenced here). There are those who simply vote without researching any facts, or even knowing their own values. No wonder the politicians can control the masses and in some cases (nay, most cases) become multi-millionaires stealing our money (or hasn’t anyone noticed?).

Let me share a fundamental truth and I don’t ask you to take my word for it but simply look at the times in your life where proof is easily seen/felt: when you’re in “react” you create the opposite to what you want.

The Obama/Biden admin. is all about unity. If you don’t agree with that, that’s your prerogative. Don’t however miss the point altogether or go off the deep end because of one proven false rumor! McCain’s campaign is based on putting the other guy down to try to make themselves look better – an old, outdated trick that no longer works for anyone even semi-aware. When asked what they’re actually going to do, or what their vision is, they simply resort to putting the other down as a diversion. Is that what you call leadership? Don’t be blind folks. If anyone is needed in the White House it’s at least someone with integrity – so please, analyze your own. If you have any compassion, you’ll change and have eyes to see…

On one hand you have a claim, by a journalist that comments were shouted at a rally.

One the other hand, you have pictures of a woman beaten by an Obama supporter and a copy of the complaint and a statement from the guy admitting did it.

Why don’t you be a big man and admit what is really in your heart. It doesn’t matter because she was a Republican. The end justifies the means to you people and if a couple of sub-humans get hurt along the way, meh!

Oct 18, 2008 - 9:21 am 1187. Dan:

This is the Oath of Office the President takes upon his inauguration: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” (Article II, Section I, Clause 8, Constitution of the United States)

The oath that one takes upon enlistment in the military is similiar – “I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.” (10 U. S. C., Sec. 502)

I think the two ought to be combined into something like this: “I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, so help me God.” And treat the Oath as a binding legal document, resulting in criminal penalties if not properly adhered to. Because in this day and age, one of the biggest “domestic” enemies of the Constitution is Congress itself. In fact, if we are all true Americans (never mind our color, our religious upbringing, or our political leanings), we should all mentally adhere to the same type of promise – to uphold the Constitution, to protect it from all its enemies, and to defend our country against those who would try and take our rights from us. That goes all the way from the person on the corner who says “How dare you support McCain” to the person who wants to blow up a building just to prove an ideological point. It also extends to those who want to “water down” America so others won’t be “offended” by our stand on illegal immigration, English as the official American language, obedience of laws regardless of whether it’s convenient or even within someone else’s culture.

This is *MY* country! Anyone who comes over here looking for a better start had better begin to assimilate into American culture. No other country would allow otherwise…why should we? And if you want to tear it down to match some sort of Socialist worldview, then leave now. Leave in peace, but leave now.

This is a sign of things to come in Obama’s ‘changed world’ versus the ‘oppressive’ Bush administration where ‘free speech is oppressed’. If you openly oppose Obama, you will be physically attacked (like in this matter), have your private life intruded on (like that poor guy Joe in Ohio whose only sin was to voice his honest opinion when Obama approached him) or be prosecuted for ‘defamation’ (like several unfortunate people in Missouri and elsewhere who dared to volunteer for the Republican Party). Don’t worry though- as long as you get your information from the New York Times it will be as if none of this ever happened- almost like you dreamed it! Someone should tell this woman to run for her life though- now that she’s exposed a potential negative side to the ‘Obama Movement’, the media will invade her life and expose everything potentially wrong that she’s ever done.

Gotta love when you hear the arguments from the Liberals- allow me to translate:

1) “The Obama/Biden admin. is all about unity. If you don’t agree with that, that’s your prerogative.” – translation: “If you don’t agree with that, we’ll either find a way to silence you or we’ll smear your reputation to the point that nobody will listen to you”

2) “There is dishonesty and corruption on both sides.” – translation: “It was the Democrats fault this time.”

3) “Republicans do nothing but line the pockets of their big business cronies” – translation: “I got fired because my company figured out that they could achieve the same productivity level with one of those magic 8-ball desk ornaments”

4) “The current economic system is unfair and it’s time for change.” – translation: “I don’t want to work and, frankly, I’m not very good at it anyway. Will you take some money from the people who work, keep a little bit for yourself as payment, and give some of it to me?”

5) “Those people are racist!” – translation: “They don’t agree with what our guy says, and he happens to be black.”

6) “Trickle down economics is a failed policy that favors the rich.” – translation: “It only ‘trickles down’ to honest hardworking people. It’s time for trickle up poverty!”

And although people may think this is a cushy deal, we have averaged 60 hours a week since we started working. We have paid off our student loans and will make our contributions to education endeavors that help students who help themselves. I’m tired of people telling us where our money goes that we EARNED. If you’re home and on disability, I’m sorry, but I didn’t cause it, and frankly shouldn’t have to pay more than what I’m already paying. And anyone that thinks Obama is going to make this a lottery win, is sorely misguided. The country is broke and you’ll all be collecting a pittance.

I am amazed and quite frankly frightened at how easily fooled the citizens of the United States of America are. I keep reading about how “biased” Fox News is. Every other news station, is openly Obama not even allowing opposing views to be aired. My greatest concern however, is how our country has forgotten 9-11. To say that it doesn’t matter that Mr. Obama associates with a man of this same mentality, who’s only regret is that he was unable to cause more harm, is a slap in the face of all those who lost their lives on 9-11, thier respective families, and every person that is fortunate enough to call themselves Americans!
What about poor “Joe the plumber” and freedom of speech? What does it say about Mr. Obama when a mere honest question about his plans for our economy launches an all out attack and investigation into to his personal affairs? If Joe can’t ask a question while Obama is only on the campaign trail, what will happen to him if he questions policies if Obama makes it to the Whitehouse? I say it’s time we started watching “Big Brother” Obama, and asking ourselves does he really love the country he would be leading, or does he just want the power of the position to further a hidden agenda.

Dear Americans,
I am a newly naturalized US Citizen. I fled from the communist/socialism regime and seeking freedom in this country. On the day I was placed under oath to promise to be loyal to this country, I was very emotional and proud to be a new citizen of the country that the world is looking up to. I promise to God and myself that I will be a good citizen and will defend this country as my own. I am counting my blessings every day because I have become part of the civilized, compassionate and patriotic Americans people. I have not chosen my political party…but I am getting closer to my decision each day. Folks, socialism doctrine did not, does not and will not work in any democracy countries. Senator Obama supporters have displayed their actions against their opponents so much like the rulers in the communist countries handle their own – VIOLENT and SUPPRESSING. In my native country, I was oppressed from expressing my own opinion. I was a victim of beating and abused by both genders. That is considered normal circumstances under socialism regime. However, I was surprised to see that men also hit women in this civilized country as well – It is despicable, what happens to us here? I am excited to be able to cast my first vote in November, and I will vote for the candidate who will lead us FORWARD not backward. I do not want the change for the WORSE. I fled from socialism doctrine to trade for freedom. YOU CAN BE SURE THAT I WILL NOT GIVE IT UP EASILY.

I have never heard anything like this until now. Just because the guy attacked a McCain supporter doesn’t make him an Obama supporter.

The peaceful, tolerant, diversity-loving Left — how I wish that they would fight America’s enemies as hard as they fight their own neighbors.

There’s the 12 year old girl in Volusia county FL who was recently called a racist at school because she wore a McCain-Palin tee shirt; there’s Joe, who’s one of the regular people of America, who’s being attacked by the Obamachine; and then there’s the following YouTube video in Obama’s own words
http://tinyurl.com/6gdulv regarding the Elko, Nevada speech. Also, AP’s Kathleen Hennesey wrote it up on September 17, 2008.

If you can’t access the URL, here’s the quote from Obama himself: “I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face,” he said,…..”You are my ambassadors. You guys are the ones who can make the case.”

May I remind anyone who reads this that Obama incited this behavior in Elko Nevada back in September. Poor judgement? Is this the guy we really want to run America? How reckless for any candidate to say, when you consider the variety of ways that people can decide to “argue“ and “get in their face”, depending upon how they perceive what is appropriate and what isn’t. I’m surprised we haven’t heard of even worse situations, yet, since there are some people who consider that the end justifies the means, whatever the ‘means’ are. What does this portend for either an Obama victory or a defeat? Are we damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t?

Yup…it is getting dangerous and down right fascist. I have not once heard or seen what the signs said that this woman was holding. I do NOT in any way support that man’s action, but if she was holding hate-filled signs then she inspired some hate. We all enjoy the right of free-speech but we must all also understand that our actions can result in consequences. The attacker was rightly jailed as his consequence. The woman was unfairly and illegally beaten. Both had consequences. The language being used about Senator Obama is extreme and irresponsible.

“Are we damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t?”

Absolutely, if he wins there will be riots of celebration, if he loses there will be riots of revenge.

If he wins I believe we will see the largest government spending spree this country has ever seen. The military will see their budgets slashed. Russia, Iran and AlQueda are probably salivating at the thought. Russia’s recent foray into South Osettia will seem like a training exercise. They want all their former satellite states back and are waiting until we can’t do anything to stop them.

Obama has been groomed for several years by the Democrat party for this. He rarely voted on anything in the senate so there wouldn’t be anything to bring up during this election.

My only hope is that if he gets elected, he grows a pair and does whats right for the country and not just hand out favors to those who put him there.

Maybe he will, maybe he won’t but I think we are looking at an Obama victory.

Outside of FOX, which dems despise, the rest are in the tank for the dems. It is obvious even to the blind and deaf. Obama is just a figurehead for the democratic party. He will do and say exactly what his party leaders and strategists tell him. He makes a great figurehead.
What is more fearful than Obama is having a leftist/ socialist party gain control of all government. Their socialist programs will be much easier to pass. Their environmentalist friends will have us reading by candlelight in dark cold clammy caves.

Was he born here or not? nobody really knows, how is he getting away with such shit. The only people voting for him is kids that dont know anything and celebrities who have so much money they dont care, and of course the brothers and sisters of this country.

Obama certainly condones violence against people that disagree with him! If not, he wouldn’t be close friends with Bill Ayers, a well known domestic terrorist.

I seriously doubt this country is dumb enough to elect Obama. The polls are wrong and always are wrong before a presidential election because they often poll non-voters or weigh the polls wrong as the pollsters want to mislead the public. And as Rush says, there has to be at least a 10-12% silent vote that will not vote for a black man for president. Especially “that one”!

To my horror, my wife, two sisters-in-law, mother & mother-in-law were all Hillary supporters. And all five will be voting (not for McCain) but against Obama. He scares them too death! This is quite common in my area. This has to be the sentiment nationwide, not just in my community.

No matter the nonsense the media proclaims, I seriously think McCain will be called the winner just after California closes it’s polls. It won’t be that close.

First off, what an extreme A-hole! As an Obama supporter I condemn this man’s actions without hesitation. I don’t care what this woman might have said, physical assault is never warranted.

Today I read that several of ACORN’s staff have received direct death threats since John McCain accused them in the Hofstra of vote fraud. Turns out, ACORN was defrauded, not the electoral process.

Since McCain’s remarks, ACORN’s 87 offices across the country have received hundreds of hostile e-mails, many of them containing racial slurs, an ACORN spokesman said. “We believe that these are specifically McCain supporters” sending the messages”.

The e-mail to a Cleveland employee who received a death threat was traced to a Facebook Web page in the name of a Baltimore man. It featured a photo of a McCain-Palin sign.

And a Fairfield, Ohio man put a noose around the neck of an effigy of Obama (and drew a Star of David and the word “Husain” on it) and hung it from a tree in his front yard. Mike Lumford refused to be interviewed on camera, but told local reporters that only white Christians should be allowed to run the country, and that African-Americans and other minorities should not “be allowed”. I wondered what that meant – that they should be killed if they try?

And some of the posts here speak for themselves.

How can America be the greatest country in the world if we are so divided? The hate in this country is nothing short of disgusting. It will be our ultimate downfall – you have been warned!

The real problem against liberty in such a scenario would be the local redneck law enforcement who have already in many places shown a total disregard to the lack of constitutionality of the laws and enforce blindly while savoring their power. Why don’t you rotten socialists just go live in Cuba or North Korea, they’ll be happy to have you. Why do you feel the need to ruin America and turn it into something it never was?

Friend of Obama – Republicans don’t try to get people off ballots to “win” and Republicans don’t assault people and their property who have alternative political views. I say this as a Libertarian and personally I have never had any issues with Republicans when sharing my differing views but have had multiple issues, almost to the point of violence, with Democrats who cannot stand anyone having an opinion different than theirs. Politics isn’t politics when one side cannot stand the idea that it may not win and is willing to use any and all means necessary of violence, intimidation, fraud, and an end to true democracy to “win.” Welcome to the DNC – ignorant sociopath socialists. Don’t sit there and try and excuse the horrible behavior of Democrats with that “its all politics” crap.

Oct 18, 2008 - 11:19 am 1264. Beverly, NY:

And for my next comment, some wish-fulfillment:

Enough, Already!

To John Murtha, John Lewis, the Obama campaign, the Democrat leadership, and all other government and media individuals who have engaged in developing and recklessly implementing whatever playbook you‘re following:

By redefining the concept of ’racism’ you are reducing the atrocity of the real thing, which occurs on a daily basis in many other countries in the world. Is the world to assume that what is occurring in America is equivalent to what has happened in Darfur as a result of Islamic racism? I suggest that the world’s opinion of the USA is fashioned not on George W. Bush’s performance, but on the defamation that comes from the mouths of government officials such as yourselves and from the Media.

By using this attack, you appear to be endeavoring to control the outcome of an election. Too many people in the media and government cavalierly try to intimidate the electorate by accusing them of ‘racism’ when they disagree with Mr. Obama’s ideas, whose failure history has already passed final judgment on.

Does this rise to the level of a constitutional crisis? As citizens, we have legally protected speech and thought. Once the government, or its representatives, attempts to abridge or infringe upon non-subversive discourse because it opposes it, then there is a constitutional crisis.

If you believe that the Constitution means what it says, then you must allow the electorate to do its work without your resistance against it. To manipulate facts or our perception, to silence any debate with the threat of racial accusation, to contravene our ability to do our constitutional duty, is nothing short of a Coup. With this, you and your colleagues are abusing your positions of authority.

You are educated people, and you know that no idea is a race unto itself. Like ‘hot’ or ‘cold,’ ideas can not be anthropomorphized. I’ve heard this accusation for far too long from Democrats and Media. What are we to make of all of this? Consider the following: You, your colleagues in Congress, and the Media are using your positions to incite violence against members of the American electorate for your own political purposes.

Mr. Murtha, 17-term representative from PA, has had a lot of time to comment on and change the “racist” temperament of his constituents. If there really was any truth to that allegation, then he has failed miserably as a Democrat, as a politician, and as a Congressman. I’m sure that PA can prove its innocence by removing Mr. Murtha from any further positions of influence and giving them to a minority candidate who doesn’t despise his constituents. Mr. Murtha, Mr. Lewis, and everyone else, with the slanderous words you have used as representatives of the people, one would think everyone you represent is as you are.

Not to worry, however, all of you will find continued support from one demographic. Our enemies appreciate the talking points.

It is so interesting to me when people accuse others who do not make that much money as “choosing the profession they were in and not bettering yourself”…Do you say that to the nurse who takes care of your sick child in the hospital? She/He makes less than $250,000/year. Do you say that to the soldier who is fighting for your freedom? Our military men and women do not even make close to $250,000 a year. What about your child’s teachers, coaches, the CNA at the nursing home that takes care of your sick, aging parents–Do you go up to them and say the same comment you wrote to Poor Joe?
I can’t believe the hypocrisy of the people on this site.
Sarah Palin has a special needs child–who do you think will work with her son? Who do you think is caring for her son while she travels–along with her husband–around the nation?
Nannies, special needs Aids, nurses–None of these people make $250,000. The next time you have to call the police when someone steals a sign from your yard or vandalizes your car–why don’t you say to the officer who is there to protect you, and in some situations give his or her life to save you–why don’t you say to them “I’m sorry you should have chosen a profession to better yourself so that you can make more money.” Is that the same thing you would say to all of the firefighters and policemen who ran into the burning world trade center towers?
…and for all of you people who claim to be Christian, you should really read the bible. What did Christ say was the two greatest commandments? 1. Love God with all your heart, mind and sould and 2. Love your neighbor as yourself. IF you actually practiced those commandments you would not post some of the things here. The bible says out of the heart, the mouth speaks. What you have written is what is really in your hearts. Shame…Shame…Shame–I feel sorry for your children.
I am 16 years old, and I can see that there are a lot of hypocrits here.
The bible belt? More lynchings of blacks than anywhere in the county in the bible belt= Hypocrits. It’s sad. I know first hand about hate because my grandparents spew it all the time but they sit in the front row of church every Sunday and Wednesday singing hymns and praising the Lord here in Indiana. This has nothing to do with Christianity–this has to do with people who are hypocrits and refuse to admit it. What some of you people write here is so sad. The younger generations, we are looking to you for leadership and guidance.

Some of you people do not even read. No where in the story does it say the attacker was a democrat or a supporter of Obama. How dumb is it to just take the title and run with it.
I guess that is why we are the dumbest industrialized nation. So many commments and few people even picked up on the fact that the story never even says anywhere that the guy supports Obama.

After 8 years of constant negativity and hatred topped by BDS fomented by idiots that needed to degrade the president to give their fragile and stupid lives meaning, why is anyone surprised that leftist resort to violence when they do not get their way? Please they harbor nothing but hatred. They hate Bush, they hate conservatives, they hate the military, they hate America. Eventually all that hate manifests itself somehow. We are seeing it in their rampant cheating and exuse making for that cheating so they can steal the election for for the greatest liar of them all.

Obama promises not to raise taxes on 95% of Americans. Democrats always raise taxes. On everyone. Even when they promise not to do so. You are stupid if you think he can raise taxes on corporations. Corporations never pay taxes: their customers and employees do. That is an undisputable fact. And with the almost $ 2 trillion on new spending that Obama has promised, there is no way he will be able to deliver a fraction of that without raising taxes on anyone making $40K or more. He wants to spread other people’s wealth around after all…

Anyone who would vote for McCain/Palin at this point would probably vote for a bag of rocks if it stood on a platform opposite a democrat and from the looks of this blog – a black man. No intelligent thinking American could possibly vote for the republican ticket this time based on what we know.

McCain has shown from the start that he can barely keep his campaign afloat and you think he deserves my vote for president of the country? This candidate’s panicky last minute maneuvers, poor choices , desperate, pathetic lies and constant showing of poor temperment during this campaign alone, are all the evidence I need not to vote for him. I won’t even waste my time naming the many other reasons he is not fit to run this country- you already know them.

My question to McCain supporters: Do you care how much you’ve been robbed on a daily basis for the last 8 years? Do you care about the policies and decisions made during this time that have torn this country down economically and decreased our standing and respect in the world? Do you care that the residing president of your party, his rich cronies and recipients of free tax exemtions ride to the bank on the backs of honest, hard working Americans who struggle to keep their heads above water? How did we elect a president who had such a grand stake in the oil business to begin with? And you’re afraid of Obama? McCain will continue this legacy of stealing from the American people. As a matter of fact he has started early. Not long after he announced his intentions to run for president he stole Obama’s platform on change.

Republicans are so quick to complain about how much of their money is being taken or given away through different programs that democrats want to implement for the good of millions of people – yet don’t feel the same indignation when the govt. wants to hand out Billions of dollars in lump sums – Trillions by the time it’s over -corporate welfare to the very select few who are already rich beyond even your wildest dreams. People who did not pull themselves up by their own bootstraps – they stepped on the backs of everyday people like you- and we are being forced to reward them for the great job they have done in robbing us no less. And you know what? They are still living it up- off of your bailout- taking million dollar trips- giving ignorant statements like: I’d rather hunt birds than deal with the sinking economy. Giving these thieves something for nothing isn’t new- the only difference this time is that the deal isn’t happening under the table. Is this what you support?

Do you really think these republicans care about you? You guys act like the kid who just wants to be “in”. They’ll give you a pat on the head but you will never be one of them – You don’t count because you aren’t rich enough. You act like the kids who can’t get into the party but will just stand around on the outside all exited because after all, thats better than nothing. Republicans don’t even know who you are until it’s time to vote. While their major policies only tuly benefit the rich, they hope the “rest of you” who
have nothing and nothing to gain, may possibly vote for them based on their phony christian and moral values since you surely have no other stake in their party. They run on a phony platform w/ phony promises, then do nothing once they are elected but continue to support and push any legislature or loop hole that will keep them from paying taxes and put more money in their pockets. All this w/out a care or thought of you in mind.

These people have come in your house and robbed you, and had the nerve to fix themselves a snack on the way out. Tell your party to give Americans back the billions they have bilked from us for years including what they are going to take from you because of this busted economy. Maybe that will give you a few
extra bucks to put towards “the change you can’t afford”.
