Comments on: Why is John McCain’s non affair front-page news while the appearance of Obama’s name on the hard drive of a dead Colombia warlord isn’t?

Sen. B. H. Obama and ties to Columbian Terrorists?

Here’s a story both Main Scream Media and Alternative Media, though Investor’s Business Daily and Roger Kimball are paying attention, are pretty much ignoring, while all the attention is on the rantings of Sen. B. Hussein Obama’s insane spiritual…

Perhaps this little predicament is only encountered by left wing Democrat Illinois empty suits or Massachusetts drunks sitting in the US Senate, who aspire to the Presidency. Seems to me that Ted Kennedy’s forays into treason with Leonid Breshnev in the early 80’s have a lot in common with Mr. Obama’s “outreach” to the FARC terroist/gangster/brigands (if only they were muslims, then they would be canonized by the NYT).

Excellent post, Roger. You’re doing the work we only wish the MSM would do. Emailed this to the entire family.

What is really sad is when I see the NYT front-page in Starbuck’s or elsewhere and simply assume everything on it is a lie. Their credibility only wishes it were in the toilet – that would be an improvement.

For the sake of the original text in Spanish, it’s not “two gringos”, but “the gringos” (los gringos); not “your compatriots”, but “their [gringos'] compatriots (sus compatriotas.)

Why is it that the media will not even give Mr. Obama a question about this to allow him to deny that a member of his staff or any associates have contracted FARC. Questions along those lines are not rare when President Bush and other administration officials are being questioned. I would think that it would be in Mr. Obama’s best interests to be given a chance to deny any such conversation took place. And he had better get used to it if he becomes President.

“Jim McGovern :
3 questions:
1. Where in the New York Times article does it declare that McCain had an affir with Vicki Isseman?”

So far as I know, Jim McGovern does not beat his wife. Although, I must say, myself and others I have spoken to are concerned by his lack of denial here (and elsewhere). I haven’t seen any attempt by Jim McGovern to deny that he beats his wife. What does this silence mean? I will be contacting the local office of the National Organization for Women to hear them speak about this situation. I’m growing increasingly uneasy and disturbed by McGovern’s ominous silence.

Grey Lady Is Just “Wondering” About McCain Getting Cancer Again

Well, when I wrote this Sunday morning, planned to post it in the PM, I was using a baseball comparison, but, seems that Karl at protein wisdom beat me too it. Sigh. Oh, well, let’s use hockey! The Grey Ladies…

The Grey Lady has an article today which seems to be "wondering" about McCain's health, based on his past bouts with cancer. There is a link from the web front page, too: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/09/us/politics/09mccain.html

Let me just say, as the son of a career Navy pilot who knew Sen. McCain both before and after his stay in the Hanoi Hilton, that his “problem with anger” has little to do with that time. In point of fact, by all accounts I’ve heard, his temper was far more violent, volcanic and vicious before his capture than afterward. I’ve known more than one of his fellow officers to say that his time as a POW was the best thing that ever happened to him.
