Palin caught lying on video about Troopergate firing of state police chief
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/10/10/131/24...

One clip shows her claiming she fired him for his weakness in rural alcohol abuse issues. Another shows her saying right after firing him she offered him a new job as head of the Alcohol Beverage Control Board because he was strong in the very same area. If the public sees her lie in detail in this video, they won’t trust what she says overall:

I saw that donkey at the rally. What a fool, I cannot even look when they play it. I have to leave the room.

Yea, all those white conservatives were cheering. What happened to the "sit down, boy!" rhetoric...please.

Palin Stumped Again On Her Strong Suit....Energy!

If Gov. Sarah Palin, by John McCain's estimation, "knows more about energy than probably anyone in the United States of America," then why is she getting such basic facts about our nation's energy production wrong?

At a townhall event in Wisconsin on Thursday, Palin was asked by a concerned questioner whether it was true that the United States was shipping 75 percent of its Alaskan oil overseas. She responded by proclaiming it impossible, since Congress had put strict bans on the amount of oil and gas that America could export.

Not so. As the Associated Press reported:

Palin is trying to get in front of the storm that is coming:

Palin pre-empts state report, clears self in probe
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jOTk11gvqDAg......

Source:Associated Press

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — On the eve of a report on a legislative panel's abuse-of-power investigation into Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, campaign officials released their own report clearing her of any wrongdoing.

Palin, running mate to Republican presidential nominee John McCain, is the subject of two inquiries into whether she abused her power by firing her public safety commissioner. The commissioner says he was dismissed for resisting pressure to fire Palin's former brother-in-law, a state trooper.

Lawmakers are expected to release their findings Friday.

The report the McCain-Palin campaign released Thursday night says the firing was based on a budget dispute. Since then, the report says, the matter has been muddled with innuendo, rumor and politics.

She cleared herself? And tomorrow some idiot will say "I heard she was cleared. It was reported by the AP". I need to look into jobs overseas.

WTF? Palin clearing herself? This is the most asinine thing I've ever heard!

She and McCain know what is coming. This is all about 'fooling' their base.

Is it me or is Todd Palin shady as heck? I want to know his role in this and in influencing her "career." Oilman, mob man, American traitor

No it is not you, I would say he is, but in reality they are both shady as heck.

This election really is a classic battle between fear and hope. All Palin and McCain are offering right now is more fear: fear of a black man, fear of terrorism, fear of the other, fear of Iran, fear of the future, fear of Islam, fear of the truth. And above all: fear of defeat. On that last one, they're rational. Which side are you on?

(from Andrew Sullivan)

You know what? While I have no idea what Obama plans in his 30 min. pre-election media blitz, I do know that now is the time for Obama's "race speech" of his life.

Now is the time that Obama says, "Enough!", drills home how we're in deep sh*t economically, ask voters some pointed questions (Are you going to let my race be the deciding factor in our nation's future? And really, what about my race could ever be an issue? In this climate, how can anyone ever doubt my love/commitment to my country? No candidate in the history of this nation has had to get secret service protection as early as I have. When and where has anyone at any one of my campaign rallies threatened the life of Senator McCain?)... and drill home his tax proposal and show the figures on the screen.

A pretty staggering exchange on O'Reilly just now. O'Reilly had African-American Temple University professor Marc Lamont Hill on the show. O'Reilly went into Colbert mode at one point, saying that when he thinks about a metaphorical "Joe Six-Pack", he has no race in mind: "The immediate image that comes to my mind is a guy of no color," O'Reilly said. Try that for a second: imagine a man of no color. Then this staggering quote from O'Reilly to a black professor:

"Man, I'm glad I didn't have you in school, boy. I would have gotten a D."

Boy? Did O'Reilly just call a black professor a "boy" on cable television?

Insider Advantage Pollster on the New Southern Swing States: "People Are Underestimating the Numbers for Obama"
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/grayson-daughters...

Fraternity Inspired by Obama, Teacher Suspended

I know things are bad in this economy, but those right-wing people need to pool their money and buy a clue. And where are the Black Rebuplicans to clarify what this means in the Black community?! Why on earth would a teacher be suspended for this?! Unless there was hazing (they're in high school, I really hope it didn't go that far), there is no reason for a teacher to be penalized for this.

I am glad to hear that Obama is inspiring our youth to more positive directions, and that teachers are using this crucial moment in the history of our people to encourage our young men and women.

*But*

Obama is a politician. A good person, family man and all that, sure. But he's a politician. He will have to make some compromises, break some promises, and hurt some feelings. That's how the game is played. It's just a matter of putting your vote behind the person who you hope will play the game to your benefit more often than not. I really hope people aren't disillusioned once Obama becomes president (yeah, I'm claiming it!).

JunePearl: I posted this recently. Co-sign on the teacher suspension. BUT, with a paucity of details, I can't make 2 many conjectures.

She could have made the video AFTER school, IFF she knew the "rules". Hmmmm.

Also liked the concept of educating the students. :>)

Not to call anybody out, but go take a look at D's profile pick. Now, didn't the black guy at the mccain rally shown on CNN look like d's profile pic? I'm just saying!

I'm just saying with you lamh! I signed on to ask who that black guy was at the McCain rally begging McCain to bring it to Obama regarding Reverend Wright and all the other "shady characters"? Who was that black guy? How did he get on the front row? How did he even get inside a McCain rally? We need to know his name.

I have a vision of Dave Chapelle's comedy scene as he posed as Blind and the Grand Wizard of the KKK...

Haha...funny!

seriously though, I saw that black guy on CNN, he was a joke, and of course tars wall was ecstatic. I literally, can't stand her, and what's up lately with michelle Bernard. Her repub bosses must told her to shape up. She us all of a sudden allup in mcain/pslin's ads.

Man that's a lot of typos. That's what I get from trying to post from my iPod touch

Just got my 401K statement. My balance is 30% less than it was on January 1st. Whee!

Oh well, I've long since resigned myself to the fact that I'm gonna have to work until they carry me out.

This is the kind of stuff that will move a lot of undecideds to Obama. When it comes to color, green will trump black any day.

MS.Kitty,

So sorry to hear that! I sure hope you recover. My prayers are with you!

I checked my TIA-CREFF, same as you, it dropped too. I have no choice but to let it ride. It feels like I am asking my crack head cousin hold my money for me- not a good idea, but I have no choice.

I fear for my mother who is supposed to retire in a year. God Bless her she deserves to retire, but I know she won't be able to afford it! It's not fair and our government has done her dirty.

Critical issue for you. How far away from the end of your earning years are you. If you are in your 30's you are likely to be working /earning well into your 70's at this stage.
You are also going to live for 25 yrs after the end of those days and in relatively good health.
In saving for retirement the stock market is the best place for returns unless we go into a European style state so you do not have to play for healthcare and a broader definition of Socail Security. the issue is how mcuh of your earnings are in the riskest part of the market and how much of it on a percentage basis. Essentially it means you should have the most at risk and the highest percentage of it at risk. The percentage at risk should come down every decade and what is at risk you move into a less risky category. so by the time you are in your midsixties (possibly even later given how long we will live)most of your savings should be in very conservative instruments. The balance stays in the market to protect against inflation

I'm in my early 40s, so ideally I'm 20-25 years away from retirement (ideally being the key word). The plan you described is close to what I have, which is a mix of high-risk, high-return stocks with a couple of more conservative mutual funds, with the intent of going more conservative the closer I get to retirement age.

It sucks to see my statement go down like that, but I'm not in panic mode just yet because there's still years for my funds to rebound. But I feel awful for the folks who are retired or getting ready to. You spend all those years doing what you think are the right things for a secure retirement, and then when you're all set to do it the rug gets pulled out. Talk about betrayal of trust.


Thanks for all the good thoughts y'all.

MsKitty: I'm VERY SORRY to hear of this. BUT, it gives me one more chance to PRAY for YOU/FAMILY! Amen!!

Kitty I'm sorry to hear about this too. I hope you recover better than you were before. i feel you about having to work until you croak. I'm in the same boat. I thought I might go to Mexico and keep rich people's babies (so I can live in the mansion for free). People are going to flock out of america (already are).

Hang in Kitty.

Sad to hear that too--our accounts are taking a hit too.

Erykah Badu's song "Soldier" just keeps playing in my house. She has this one line:

"To all my folks that think they're living sweet, but they 'gon f--k around and push delete."

So, so true---Many people did the right thing by saving and investing, and now it's gone. The road will only get rougher before it gets better. I'm praying for us all.

Monie: Prayers for U 2!

Annnd, I'm glad that you have Erykah's CD, 'cause I just posted it recently. But, I would have done it again. You Tube and I are becoming "fast friends." :>)

I am sorry to hear that MsKitty - hopefully things will get better. I am scared to look at mine and I can access it online anytime I want but can't bring myself to do it. lol

Do you see what's happening on CNN with Lake county in Indiana.

Remember, Lake county was the last to report on Indiana's primary night? They put Obama close to a tie with Hillary, I think it's heavily African American. It's so transparent what's happening....they're implicating ACORN and this county to suggest that there's voter fraud and that the votes that will come from LAKE are suspect.

Do you see how this all ties together. Saying O is connected to Acorn, saying Acorn uses ex cons to register voters. Acorns is raided. Then the registrar's office say they received over 2000 fraudulent registrations from Acorn. Then McCain's vice chair says Obama is "from the street". Add in Ayers. Add that to the MSM failure to report on recent voter suppression tactics by the GOP.

McCain is in trouble, he has to win all tossup states...he needs an assist. Perhaps this is his assist for Indiana. The McCain campaign, the MSM is setting things up so voters can be harassed at the polls.

Obama is being swiftboated.

This whole ACORN thing is so stupid. I was a memberof ACORN in Chicago. We went to the Alderman's office (or you could say marched on) and asked to have the grass cut down on vacant lots or to have abandoned houses boarded up because drug dealers worked out of them or they became crack houses. One time we went to Allstate insurnce company because they were charging minorities more for coverage. These aren't exactly unamerican ativities. To me, this is up there with Palin's PTA experience. The majority of the members in my group were old people. It's weird how people are alluding that ACORN is a radical, subversive organization. Weird.

I wouldn't be surprised if those registrations weren't submitted by Acorn. Like the flags that got thrown away weren't from the DNC convention.

Seems like folks need to vote early when they can and vote absentee.

is there anyway for us to get this to the Obama campaign? Do you think they already know about this?

It would be malpractice if they don't.

Actually, I think they are aware. I think they planned for it. If Indiana goes, Obama has 6 more to choose from; while McCain has to win ALL 7 just to be back in the game.

Truth - don't claim it.

Obama WILL NOT be swiftboated. Do not claim it. The hole they attempt to dig for Obama is the one they will fall into themselves. With any luck, they will break a leg.

I'm loving your attitude, Val.

Loving it.

The media wants the race to be close. A blowout is no good for ratings.

The public has seen three debates and the stock market continues to crash. Only us political addicts are watching every twist and turn of this campaign.

I will say this, though. I walked out into the world today afraid for my safety for the first time in my entire life.

That means I'm terrorized.

And Barack Obama didn't do it to me.

You know what is the most amusing of these numbers? Obama has a bigger lead in Pennsylvania and Michigan than he does in California and there is no way he will win in California

I just read that and was ready to post. But look at what he said:

"Well Senator, I actually did. I like to think of myself as a fairly intelligent person. I have a bachelor degree in Political Science from Tennessee State, so I try to keep myself up to date with current affairs. I have a Master degree in Legal Studies from Southern Illinois University, a few years in law school, and I am currently pursuing a Master in Public Administration from the University of Memphis. In defense of the Senator from Arizona I would say he is an older guy, and may have made an underestimation of my age. Honest mistake. However, it could be because I am a young African-American male. Whatever the case may be it was somewhat condescending regardless of my age to make an assumption regarding whether I was knowledgeable about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac."

Ha...he forgot "black don't crack" ...maybe that's why McCain thought he was a kid??

...yeah, right.

Feel good moment

My triplets are in second grade and they are in separate classes. Well the teachers took a survey today from the kids and asked who their families were voting for as President in the November elections. The kids came home with graphs showing the results and drum roll please . . . . . . . . . . ALL the families are voting Barack Obama. Surveys were from three 2nd grade classes LOL I told you our school is over 97% white.

That was only the 2nd grade results but I am feeling really good.

That's great!

ps. Val......triplets? How precious is that!

Forgive me if it has already been discussed, but did anyone see this Black dude at a McSane/Palin rally today? He was "begging" McCain to "take it to Obama". He wanted him to hit hard on Reverend Wright, Ayers, and other "shady characters". The manic crowd of course cheered and McCain thanked and hugged his "friend".

Amazing. Not that he is a Republican, but a Black man helping to incite violence against the first Black Presidential nominee. Just wow. I am not usually one for revoking anyones Black Card, but......

WE took back the Black Card we gave Bill Clinton; why NOT take back a Black Card from a Brotha who hates himself?

CPL: DONE!! "BACK INTO THE BLACK BOX!

Oh! Wait. . . . . Did he EVA have the "Black Card?" NO WAY!!

He didn't get "that way" just during this campaign season!

Chill errybody! He DOESN'T HAVE A BLACK CARD! :>)

But, he does have some BENJAMINS -betcha by golly! :>)

Hopefully, he atones like Judas did when he realized he sold out Jesus.

He knows some Black people. He will have to go back to those Black people. He better watch his back.

It was very obvious that he was a plant. He looked extremely nervous, as if he was trying to remember his lines.

Did anyone see the older white guy at the same rally? He said that he doesn't understand why Obama is ahead of McCain. I shouted to the TV, "What you REALLY mean is 'How come that n----r is ahead of a white man?"!

There was another one on CNN saying that he was offended that BO was actually running for president. I'm just sayin

RAOTFLMAO! now that is funny. lol

This is an exception! It need to be stripped away!

McCAIN CO-CHAIR: "Obama is a guy from the streets"

Heard Pat Buchklannan's Sister trying to defend that mess by saying it was legit and Campbell Brown looking like she wanted to choke ol' girl.

These euphemisms are so lame. If the campaign is going to go the "ooga booga nigger" route they need to fully embrace it. Come on McCain man up, stop being such a coward hiding behind your surrogates.

(don't mean to be so offensive but I have no patience for punks, which is what Gramps is being).

If you're gonna go there, you might as well go all the way.

REALLY! Let's stop the stupid dance. Let's just get to it already. SAY IT TO HIS FACE!

Town I saw that an hour ago and chose to not read it. I just knew it would get my blood boiling. I also refused to post a response to it at Huffpo.

It made me feel better to see McCain's Gallup Tracking poll numbers drop today. He is now down to 41%, Barack is at 52%.

I can hardly wait until next week's debate. McCain better bring it or STHU. I know Barack has something special for him.

This is why McCain is losing: he keeps lurching from attack to attack and they don't make sense. Which is it? Is Barack this snooty elite guy sipping on Starbucks and eating argula while he chills out at Whole Foods?

Or is he this scary black boogeyman from the streets? Cuz you know how those Chicago people are?

Clearly Barack looks as physically threatening as a glass of milk so the black boogeyman from the streets bit ain't gonna work unless they evoke OJ (which I guarantee you is coming next).

When people see Obama being all calm and pleading with him to get angry, it's hard to imagine him being some angry terrorist coming at'ya.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone tried to revive the "Call Me" on Barack, even though we clearly see that he's into his black wife.

That "Call Me" Ad worked on the Dark Sith because IT WAS TRUE.

Won't work on Obama because Hef would have to verify Obama showed up at the Playboy Mansion to party, which he has not.

Tell McCain's camp "Nice Try - STHU"

BWA HA HA AH AH AH AH AH HA

YOU KNOW Hillpatine looked up and down for ' Da White Woman'....and, if they couldn't find her...well...

And, yes, 'Call me' won't work, because nobody remotely believes that Michelle would tolerate that...LOL

' mean, angry Michelle'?

Hell no.

Town is right about the mixed messages.

I said months ago that the GOP had to figure out what they were gonna attack Obama as:

The Second Incarnation of Huey Newton..

or
The Black Frasier Crane.

He could NOT be both.

They never settled on a Black Bogeyman for Obama ...which is why they're going back and forth on him like Sybil.

"Clearly Barack looks as physically threatening as a glass of milk "

Town - YOU ARE A POET! Brilliant

RAOTFLMAO

McCain supporters say they're "shocked" that Obama's where he's at. They egg McCain on to "take the gloves off" on Obama. Damn, it's like they're calling McTurd a wimp. These are angry people, they take it as a personal insult that Obama is beating their candidate. I looks to me like they're enraged that Obama wasn't deferential in the last two debates - he was confident and self-assured. McCain must be roiling in turmoil.

Truth, you know what's this is about: A black man is actually beating a white man. It's the same mentality exhibited during the Primaries.

With similar results, Sepia. With similar results.

Exactly!

John King just reported on his electoral map, that McCain will have to win all seven tossups to win the presidency, while Obama only needs one(O's currently at 264 ev's according to CNN) It puts McCain in a bind....Obama has effectively won..

What does McCain do??? He can't choose any one to focus on, he MUST win all, MUST invest dollars in all, MUST campaign in all. However, he doesn't have the money, or the organization - and he cannot split the stumping load with his VP in order to cover more ground, because he can't draw crowds on his own.

I want a BLOW OUT. I want one because he has earned it. I want one because the nation has to show UNITY despite the GOP efforts to divide our nation based by fanning the flames of fear and hatred.

We need Obama's leadership.

Me too. I agree with what you said. I want right wing ideology to be rejected resoundingly. I want Americans of all colours to stand up and reject identity politics...it's the only way to kill the ugly tactics used by the GOP, once and for all.

I almost feel like it puts all of us on the road to racial HEALING. And for every white person who doesn't feel pain I would argue they are emotionally shut down about it. We way too much racial shame as a nation to move forward without real healing. I want Obama to yell, "Woman thou art LOOSED!"

Holy Brussel Sprouts Batman!


The Obama campaign will air a half-hour primetime special on Wednesday, Oct. 29, at 8 p.m.

Sources say the Obama camp is also in talks with NBC and Fox. It’s not yet clear if an ad buy is locked on any other network, however, or if the special's duration or time period is the same.

Diary here

I think the special is with CBS and NBC...I read they approached FOX, but don't think there's an agreement with FOX yet.

A waste of Time and Money to go on Fox Noise. Make them squirm and hit the three main; NBC, CBS, & ABC - not to mention CNN and MSNBC.

He should not legitimize Fox Noise under any circumstances.

Thanks Truth,

I forgot to put CBS and NBC in my post. I got a little excited! Hope he talks about the economy.

It's exciting, isn't it?!!

Younger Military Families Closing Ranks Around Obama

QUANTICO, Va. -- One of the largest U.S. marine bases in the world is located in Quantico, a tidy town with scant election fanfare. Everyone who lives here just assumes Republicans have a lock on the military vote. And so when Obama signs began to appear, tongues began to wag.

SKIP

Barack Obama is promising to make college affordable for all Americans, and this appeals to Jennings. "I can't imagine telling my two kids, "No college for you, because I voted for McCain." She emailed all of her military friends, encouraging them to register two new voters. "It's time to take a stand," said the marine vet. "I want us to be like Michigan -- I'd love to see John McCain quit campaigning in Virginia, too."

Jennings isn't the only Obama supporter in Quantico -- not by a long shot -- and this should raise a red flag for the McCain camp. In hotly contested states with large military populations, these voters can make an impact because they turn out to vote in higher percentages (79/64) than the general public, according to a Rand study.

John McCain assumes he has the military vote -- but does he?

Deployed Troops Give Four Times More Money To Obama

People in all branches of the service are getting tired of repeated deployments. "I think more of them will vote for Obama than McCain," said Jennings. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, deployed troops are putting their money where their mouth is: they've given four times as much money to Obama as McCain.

Yaaaaaa! Annnnnnnnd THANK YOU military families!! :>)

McCain has pissed off the scientists about the "overhead projector".

A Yom Kippur Letter to Joe Lieberman's Rabbi. . .

Yom Kippur, 5769
New York City

Rabbi Daniel Cohen
Congregation Agudath Sholom
Stamford, Connecticut

Rabbi Barry Freundel
Kesher Israel Congregation
Washington, D.C.

Dear Rabbis Cohen and Freundel,

Please forgive the presumption -- not only don't we know one another, I'm the kind of "cultural Jew" who makes even Reform Rabbis weep.

But as far as I can tell, now that Joe Lieberman and his family have moved from New Haven to Stamford, you, Rabbi Cohen, are his primary Rabbi in Connecticut. And you, Rabbi Freundel, lead the congregation where Sen. Lieberman worships in Washington.

Sen. McCain loves Joe Lieberman -- he wanted him as his running mate, if press reports are accurate.

Sen. McCain listens to Joe Lieberman.

Sen. Lieberman is, if you will, John McCain's rabbi.

So I thought I would write to you and ask you, as Sen. Lieberman's rabbis, to talk to Sen. Lieberman about the hatred that the McCain-Palin campaign is encouraging --- and the special understanding we Jews have of how that hatred plays out.

Why this public forum? Because I feel this is an urgent moment for American Jews. And because, in this moment, the men who can perhaps do the most to help us all -- Jews, Gentiles and Muslims alike -- should be identified and challenged to step up and do the right thing.

SKIP

oday "The Other" is Barack Obama. At a McCain-Palin rally the other day, there was a cry from a yahoo in the crowd: "Off with his head!" John McCain and Sarah Palin have not condemned that man. Indeed, they promise to ratchet up their "questions" about Obama in the final weeks of the campaign. At this point, it seems, they'd find nothing upsetting if the audiences at their rallies showed up with torches and pitchforks.

Jews, above all others, should fear this kind of hate speech. It may start with the demonization of one black man. Then it will move on to greedy Wall Streeters and "Jewish bankers" and a "liberal media" owned and controlled by Jews. [It's already happening: The Anti-Defamation League reports "a dramatic upsurge in anti-Semitic statements" on financial message boards on the Web. ] And then -- it sounds crazy, but it sounded crazy to many Jews in Germany -- the mob will come for us. Because that's where this goes. It's where it always goes. No matter where it starts, it ends with the Jews -- we're the ultimate "Other."

IFFFFLIEberman doesn't act, I wonder IFFF he can be "kicked out" like the Dems. "kicked him out?" O.K. just a little levity! :>)

Hello my people! Just coming down from my debate high, LITERALLY! And don't ask. Yep, President Obama "spoke softly", "carried a big stick", and behaved like a man who would keep a "steady hand on the tiller". Oops, Isn't that what McBush wanted us to believe about him? If so, Misson Not Accomplished!". Back to the drawing board, Schmidt! Town halls are not your guy's thing. He looked, for want of a better description, old, awkward, beaten standing next to his young, confident, strapping counterpart.

"I will kill Bin Laden...and crush the Taliban.." My favorite delivery of the night by Senator Obama. I wondered if in that moment, McBush thought to himself, "Oh fuck, he's gonna do the same thing to me on Nov. 4." Yes, I can only HOPE.

Anyway, my least favorite moment was when Senator Obama missed an opportunity of candor, ya know, to tell the American people that things will get worst before they get better." To be frank, I was a tad annoyed. What about his common refrain in the primary, "I will tell you what you need to hear and not what you want to hear..." But I reconciled that with the fact that had he done the truth-telling then, it may have produced an opposition attack ad before morning. In any case, I was placated when he did address this in Indiana yesterday.

My WTF moment? Yep, the "That One" comment. If McBush was not being overtly disrespectful of the possible next president of the US, his comment was, at the very least, inappropriate in that setting. Undisciplined coot.

OK, and why didn't McCain broach Senator Obama's alleged associations with terrorists? Yeah, we've all figured it out? Fucking coward. He probably knew the smack-down was ready and didn't want to risk being cut down by the best political assassin ever. His wife probably carries his dick and balls in her pocketbook. Geez...chicken bastard.

Anyway...on to next Wednesday. Hopefully, McBush will grow a pair and really take the "gloves off" this time so that it won't turn out to be another yawn-fest. Stay as sharp as you can Senator Obama. No missteps, please. Not that we expect any but still...ya know!

Palin: Electing Barack Obama would diminish the prestige of the Presidency

How?

This isn't even a good attack line. It only begs the question, "and how does electing McCain/Palin not dimish its prestige?"

And if they can't answer-immediately, without any thought-they look awfully dumb.

I really, sincerely hope they're not saying this stuff in VA on Monday. It won't fly in VA Beach, and in northside Richmond, it ain't gonna go over well at all.

You know, without even reading the linked article it's painfully obvious what she is saying underneath what she is saying.

She's saying "this is a white country and a Black person in the presidency would diminish the value of the presidency."

That's what she's saying. Using all sorts of fancy BS to cover it probably (probably in and of itself offensive stuff) .... but that's what the message is.

She might want to move her little rally to the western white suburbs of Richmond because talking that yang a couple of blocks from Virginia Union is not a good look.

Not to mention firing up those Hampton kids...they might be a few miles away, but she better not think for one minute they can't load up a few buses just to show up and protest her ass!

It really ain't. Hell, I'm rethinking my attenance at the Richmond rally.

All I'll say is if you go, know how to get the heck out of there. Go down Robin Hood Rd and catch 95 South if you need to get to steppin'. If you try to go down Boulevard to catch 95 North you might be stuck in traffic. Or rent a room at that Holiday Inn so you can hide out.

Or rent a room at that Holiday Inn so you can hide out.


Town, stop it! lol

D, be careful.

Lol! I remember all the escape routes.

You need to wear a t shirt saying

YOU LOST MY VOTE, and man I tried!

just be careful. The rhetoric has changed and your wife and kids need you to stay in one piece.

Co-signing with Val here.

We're gonna talk it through; she has to work, and the sitter will be out of town. If it seems outta hand, can't take the kid.

Well, if you go and things start to "go down" I would advise you to blend in with the protesters that will inevitably be across the street. I wish she would try some race baiting rhetoric at the ARTHUR ASHE CENTER.

LOL! You go, I'll cover VA Beach. I may have some VFF stuff to do anyway.

Well Bush already did that!!!

No, see only when black Obama gets elected, is the presidency diminished.

Nixon, B. Clinton, Harding, Bush II...they didn't diminish the presidency. Only the black guy will.

And didja know when he gets elected, he's gonna hire Ludacris to paint the White House black?

Yup, Obama's gonna have Gold Cadillacs sitting up on blocks on the White House lawn and he's gonna let the grass grow high in the Rose Garden.

Michelle's gonna have all the furniture in the White House in plastic and when Obama does the State of the Union you're gonna see the wooden fork and spoon on the wall. Pictures of Malia, Sasha and Michelle in an airbrushed champagne glass surrounded by dollar bills will be behind him. Michelle will change the menu to Cheetos, chitlins and red Kool Aid. During state dinners they will all do the Electric Slide.

Michael Vick will bring his pit bulls to the White House and chain them to the columns, while 50 Cent, Diddy and Ludacris play dominos on the porch.

Obama will have spinners put on Marine One and Air Force One will lean to the side.

Remember, electing the black guy will DIMINISH the presidency. Invading countries, spying on people, running up the national debt, creating a financial crisis unlike any other since 1929, alienating allies, creating more enemies...none of that diminished the Presidency.

The black guy will.

"Obama will have spinners put on Marine One and Air Force One will lean to the side".

ROFTLMAO. You're funny too!

Bull-horning in action:

Black people moving to this nice neighborhood? Well, it ain't so nice anymore.

Black people like this particular brand of car? Ah, that car isn't all that anyway.

Black people like a particular clothing brand? We've got to stop them from wearing it so it doesn't lose its' prestige.

Black people like Cristal? We'd rather you people not drink Cristal because Cristal means you're elite and if blacks are drinking it, Cristal just isn't elite anymore.

Black people winning the Presidency? Well that means the presidency isn't all that anyway. The office of the Presidency really isn't that important anymore. Everyone knows the REAL people running the country are {insert CEO here}.

Town: cristal [crysytal]

Black people - you can DO CRYSTAL -meth 'cause we got the lock down on VICODIN, OXYCOTIN, and VIAGRA -OOP!, I mean Ecstasy! :>)

McCain's Hero Petraeus: "I Do Think You Have To Talk To The Enemies"

So General Petraeus agrees with Barack Obama -- and not John McCain -- on the question of whether we should meet with hostile enemies?

In an interview that aired on CBS last night, John McCain, when asked which three living people he'd like to have dinner with most, promptly chose General Petraeus. McCain frequently hails Petraeus as an "American hero."

McCain, however, might not enjoy that dinner so much if he heard Petraeus' views on one of the leading foreign policy differences he has with Barack Obama.

In a case of comically awful timing, Petraeus yesterday gave a talk at the Heritage Foundation in which he more or less echoed Barack Obama's views on negotiating with hostile foreign leaders -- views that McCain has repeatedly subjected to criticism and ridicule.

Asked by a questioner specifically about the disagreement on this topic that McCain and Obama had at Tuesday night's debate, Petraeus demurred a bit, but said: "I do think you have to talk to enemies."

Since Obama's poll numbers have gone way up, the MSM has been pushing the "race" and "Bradley Effect" memo real hard.

That's because they need to have an excuse ready for when the votes are stolen.

No, it wasn't GOP trickery, it was the "Bradley Effect."

I find it interesting that these Tee Vee Talking Heads keep chattering about the "Bradley Effect" but not once has anyone discussed whether Sarah Palin being a female (regardless of her views or experience) would have any effect on the McCain/Palin ticket losing or not.

There are PLENTY of people who feel women have NO BUSINESS being President or Vice President and while there may have been plenty of people voting for Hillary because they didn't want the black guy to get in there, I'm pretty sure there were plenty of people voting for Barack because they didn't want the woman to get in there.

How many people voted AGAINST Mondale back in '84 because they couldn't stomach the thought of a woman being a heartbeat away? The CW is that Mondale was a shitty candidate but really, I wonder how many people said "President Ferraro? I don't think so." and pulled the lever for Reagan?

If we believe that because white people lied on Bradley and Wilder 20, 30 years ago, couldn't we also conclude that the same "Women don't belong up there" attitude exists today?

If we believe we have evolved from the "women got no business being up there" attitude from yesteryear, why can't we believe that we have made some evolution from the Bradley Effect today?

And I know there has got to be SOME people out there who believe that women should NOT be in positions of authority because I know during the primary season there were people crying that Hillary wouldn't be able to handle the male heads of state because they don't respect women. We've got a winking, kiss blowing fool "a heartbeat away" that's already being disrespected by male foreign heads of state. If we believe the Bradley Effect is still large and in charge, wouldn't some of those same attitudes towards women be just as strong?

In truth, there are actually MORE who believe a woman doesn't belong
there. This is why the majority of Hillary's supporters were women.
Men are not ready to have a woman in charge so they didn't vote for
Hillary and they won't vote for McCain/Palin. There are also quite
a few women who feel the same way. And this is before it became
apparent how unqualified Palin is.

David Gergen kicked it off, and you said that was okay, but I saw it for what it was - the new media directive to sway voters. Unless they were going to tell the truth about McCain's worthless campaign, they were left with nothing to talk about but Obama doing well. We know they weren't going to do that so....... here we go.

Yep, I noticed that. They run it concurrently with the "terrorist", "militant", "he's not like us" memes.

Did I post this yesterday? Sorry if I'm starting to catch some McCain traits here.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/zack-exley/the-ne...

Tell me if this is not the most sophisticated organization you've ever heard about. The Obama campaign is running this like some kind of cross between a Fortune 500 company and a nimble startup.

When I read this, I believe we can build a green economy. And that we can rebuild our democracy too.

FR: Jason Furman, Obama-Biden Economic Policy Director

RE: The Facts on McCain’s Plan to Reward Lenders at Taxpayer Expense

DA: 10/9/08


In light of the McCain campaign’s latest erratic move on the economy, see below for details on Senator McCain’s plan to reward irresponsible mortgage lenders at taxpayer expense. In the course of twelve hours, McCain transformed a “new” mortgage plan which was simply restating a policy the government had already authorized into what is possibly the largest taxpayer funded handout to irresponsible lenders in U.S. history. In short, this plan guarantees taxpayers lose money, rewards bad behavior in the past and discourages responsible behavior in the future.

Tuesday Night: McCain announces “plan” which restates current law. On Tuesday night, the McCain Campaign released a plan to “purchase mortgages directly from homeowners and mortgage servicers, and replace them with manageable, fixed-rate mortgages that will keep families in their homes.” As Senator McCain said, “it's my proposal, it's not Sen. Obama's proposal, it's not President Bush's proposal.” But he was wrong: the Treasury Department and Federal Housing Administration already have the authority to purchase, restructure and guarantee mortgages for struggling families. McCain’s plan appeared to simply restate these authorities, which Barack Obama had previously fought for and supported when they were included in legislation.

Importantly, the plan McCain released on Tuesday night required lenders to take a “haircut.” McCain’s plan on Tuesday night explained that in circumstances when loans were purchased and restructured by the government “[l]enders in these cases must recognize the loss that they’ve already suffered.” This approach was not new – it reflected the shared responsibility approach embodied in the Dodd/Frank housing legislation which forced current lenders to sacrifice by backing mortgages for only 90% of current market value. Also, borrowers who benefit from the program share any upside in their house price with the government.

Wednesday Morning: McCain announces a new plan – financial institutions no longer have to take any losses and the McCain Bailout guarantees that taxpayers lose money, rewarding the most irresponsible lenders. Overnight, the McCain campaign changed their plan and eliminated this reference to shared responsibility for lenders from the plan on their website, deleting from their plan the phrase “Lenders in these cases must recognize the loss that they’ve already suffered.” Top McCain advisor Douglas Holtz-Eakin explained that, rather than asking lenders to take a haircut, the McCain plan called on the government to purchase mortgages at their full face value. This approach would reward irresponsible banks with taxpayers’ money and would give no upside to the government.

• Rewarding Irresponsible Banks. If a homeowner has a mortgage of $200,000 on a house now worth $150,000, the McCain plan would pay off the original lender at the full $200,000 price. His plan would not insist on any sharing of sacrifice by the lender. Indeed, if the original lender engaged in fraud to inflate the size of the initial mortgage, they would be explicitly rewarded for it under the new McCain plan since they would be paid back the full, inflated value of the mortgage.

• Guaranteeing a Taxpayer Loss. The McCain plan will stick taxpayers with the full loss on houses and put them at risk of losing even more if home values don’t recover. It would do so without asking anything of the lenders themselves and without giving the taxpayers share in any future upside should house prices recover. It is a recipe for the worst kind of bailout abuse.

• Inhibiting Private Solutions to the Problem That Do Not Cost Taxpayers a Dime. Today some lenders, voluntarily or as part of settlements, are working on solutions to the mortgage mess that involve the financial institution modifying mortgages to help homeowners stay in their homes – without costing taxpayers a dime. But if the McCain plan were in place, this process would stop because lenders would know they could always sell their mortgages at full face value to taxpayers.

Byron Williams, Bay Area News Group-East Bay

- History consistently proves the wisdom of the Founders exceeded their own comprehension and imagination.

I doubt Thomas Jefferson, James Madison or Charles Pinckney could fathom an African American-led nonviolent civil rights movement that based their cause on the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, especially after the 3/5 Compromise of 1787 meant that male slaves would only constitute three-fifths of a man.

While our 21st century hindsight may find this compromise deplorable, without it, the 13 colonies would have found it difficult to become what we now call the United States of America.

Since women were largely denied the right to vote, it is equally debatable that women’s suffrage would have been part of the Founder’s worldview by the time the Constitution was ratified in 1788.

But the Founders’ inability to see the specifics that the elasticity of the Constitution would create does not excuse the ignorance or unbridled ambition of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin to go without comment.

PALIN IS A RACIST!!!


Alaska: 75% WHITE 4.4% BLACK 3.4% HISPANIC OTHER

But, as I continue to read MUDFLATS, etc, I see that there are SOME ENLIGHTENED people who are FIGHTING "The Gov." They have a larger fight because she/her ilk have been in power too long. I meant WHITE POWER!


Obama-Biden '08!!

I wouldn't say Palin is racist. I would say she is selfish and power hungry. She could care less how she achieves her goal. She stepped on friends, co-workers, mentors, her husband and her own kids to get whatever she wanted so obviously she has no issue with attempting to step on Barack.

Doesn't matter the statistics, my family is the only black family in our neighborhood. Maybe 2% of the school my kids attend is black it is over 96% white and they are the nicest group of people you would want to meet.

Palin isn't racist, she is selfish, conniving, vindictive, and power hungry. She is perfectly willing to throw anybody (poor Bristol and even John McCain) under the bus to get what she wants.

How do you know she's not a racist?

I don't know the woman but I her actions tells me she is selfish. She could care less if you are white, black, latino. If she wants something she will get it and no lie is too big and no action is too low, She tossed Bristol under the bus instead of simply showing her medical records when questions were raised on whether the baby was hers or not, she according to the Enquirer had an affair with her husband's business partner, she stabbed her mentor in the back in Alaska according to the Anchorage news and mudflats, she fired people unless they swore allegiance to her . . . .

The color of the skin did not matter. She wants what she wants when she wants it . . . doesn't matter who it is.

She's the "new racist".

Val: . . selfish, conniving, vindictive, power hungry. . .

These 2!!

Yes, many with the "WHITE GENE", can escape acting on its effects. Look at all those who are voting for Mr. Obama. Annnnnnnd, it has been my experience 2 [to be around "those" who have not acted on the effects of their genes.]

But, golly darn I don't believe that "The Gov." has so escaped!!

No, I don't have a video or print media proof. Just gut feel. So I'm goin' with that! RESPECTFULLY. :>)

You are on it... It is called the spirit of discernment and you have got it. She is a racist.... She is the worst kind of racist... the kind that won't admit to her true leanings.

Obama, McCain Transition Efforts Are Worlds Apart

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/08/obama-...

Well, that could be a result of 3 things:

a) McCain is broke and doesn't have the money to put together a transition team, needing all money to go towards the campaign.

b) McCain will continue George Bush's operations "as is," thus no need for a transition if the only thing that will change is the name of the person running things

c) McCain knows he's going to lose, thus no need for a transition team when there's nothing to transition.

I would say b

Investors Business Daily asks what Barack Obama knows about the epidemic of voter fraud in ACORN, and it’s not an unfair question. Not only has Obama publicly endorsed ACORN, he has paid them at least $800,000 for their services, an amount that he didn’t immediately disclose until pressed. ACORN has responded in kind, with their voter-registration efforts that have resulted in criminal investigations in more than a dozen states:

For starters, Obama paid ACORN, which has endorsed him for president, $800,000 to register new voters, payments his campaign failed to accurately report. (They were disguised in his FEC disclosure as payments to a front group called Citizen Services Inc. for “advance work.”)

What’s more, Obama worked as executive director of ACORN’s voter-registration arm, Project Vote, in 1992. Joined by two other community organizers on Chicago’s South Side, Obama conducted the voter-registration drive that helped elect Carol Moseley-Braun to the Senate that year.

The next year, 1993, Obama joined the civil-rights law firm Davis Miner Barnhill & Galland, where he sued the state of Illinois on behalf of ACORN to implement the federal “Motor Voter” law, which the GOP governor at the time refused to do. Then-Gov. Jim Edgar argued, presciently, that the Clinton law would invite voter fraud.

Obama downplays his ties to ACORN, and his campaign denies coordinating with ACORN to register voters.

What if John McCain were a former president of the Harvard Law Review?
What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating
class?

What if McCain were still married to the first woman he said “I do” to?

What if Obama were the candidate who left his first wife after she no
longer measured up to his standards?

What if Michelle Obama were a wife who not only became addicted to pain
killers, but acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?

What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?

What if Obama were a member of the Keating-5*?

What if McCain were a charismatic, eloquent speaker?

If these questions reflected reality, do you really believe the election
numbers would be as close as they are?

This is what racism does. It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes
positive qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative qualities in
another when there is a color difference.

We know this exists. Why do we need to keep seeing it? Some things just don't need attention.

We need to be making phone calls for the campaign.

WIth you Craig.

I need to look at the open thread picture to get me back on track.

bingo.

Check out this video:

Then see who these people are in this video:

http://tariqnelson.com/2008/10/08/joe-six-pack-...

Tariq: Video - very intriguing! 2 bad that the RACISTS appear to be multiplying! BUT, they won't win this time!! :>)

This is going to be a very challenging month. I think that Palin's vitriol will begin to close the gap. The entire right wing apparatus is also on the smear page as well. We are going to have to stand tall and work hard. Talk to your friends and family about voting.

no it won't. Obama/Biden will win. McCain will simply destroy his career. Let him have at it. We are sick of this crap and this will only serve to make it easier to kick their as*es out of Washington.

WTF is wrong with Chris Matthews? He's actually saying McCain/Palin know what they're doing by asking "Who is Barack Obama". Theses b%t%hes are trying to instill fear in white people and Chris Matthews is helping them. Mofos!

Actually Justice I think Chris Matthews is defusing the situation by calling it what it is and putting it out there.

It won't work. It won't. Let them go for broke. All the better for us to make the decision to turn the page on this crap on Nov 4. This only serves to energize the people to go out and vote. Let them go for it.

Chris Matthews is a yellow bobblehead just spewing spittle when his leg isn't tingling from the thrill of the politician du jour.

Town: CM is DUPLICITOUS!! Speaks with F&*#$D TONGUE!
He saw that he could be "moved around" and that his career is not that secure - IMHO!

At this time K.O. and Dr. Rachel are operating with "NO FEAR!" Supporting them with e-mails - at this time! :>)

i think he just wants them to ask the question but that doesn't mean he thinks McLame/Stupid will ultimately be the ones answering. Without the lies, well its pretty clear who Barack is-the next POTUS.

He may have been saying it from a political standpoint. I also fear that over time that Palin's incitements and attacks will work with some people and we will see the gap begin to close

Chris Matthews is on Morning Joe pushing the Obama is a sleeper cell meme. He's laying it out for the McCain campgain better than the McCain campaign is.

Do you have a link?

I think--I think--what Matthews is doing is calling out McPalin and the Rethug party for running with this meme in the first place.

At least on Hardball, he's been referring to this crap for what it is ...
a racialized stunt.

I think that Matthews has realized that when Obama wins this thing, that there will be a sea change in media. And he doesn't want to be remembered as part of the pre-election media lynch mob.

That's probably why members of the White Girl Media like Campbell Brown and a couple others are also starting to change their tune.

RonnieB: Co-signing! That's "Whycome" I challenged [Thursday Open] the second statement by Campbell in her "rant" piece in the HuffPost.

Yes, she appeared to "call out" the RACISM that the Repugs via McAncient/The Gov are spewing, BUT she didn't think that That ONE embodied a RACIST remark! S-T-U-P-I-D!!!

Yes, I believe that the "scope" of this "Round of Racism" needs to be "broadened" to includse the REPUGS since they have NOT spoken against the McAncient/The Gov.'s recent meme.


SOOOO. "Calling ALL Repugs!" Either be part of the solution OR remain THE PROBLEM!!

agreed RonnieB. I agree with you 100%. They are putting it out there and calling it what it is. The result -- McCain/Palin will only destroy their political careers.

Let him call them out and put it out there. I believe this will only help Obama. We will finally take a substantial step in turning the page on all this crap on Nov 4.

He talks about it everyday, RonnieB. He's promoting the meme as though it's true. He's an accessory to the crime at this point. He doesn't wanna pay higher taxes and he'll be happy to see somebody shoot at Barack if that's what it takes.

Lord Have Mercy! I plead the blood of Jesus to protect Barack Obama & his family in this journey!

Justice58: Co-signing!! :>)

He linked all of Hillary's worst hits and Palin's and McCain's new ones he is obviously trying to sway public opinion.

Chris Matthews confuses me. One minute, he's chastizing the McCain camp for resorting to these fear tactics, the next he's encouraging them. Doesn't he realize that in today's societal climate, repeating this info is literally dangerous???

Sepia: IMHO, Yes he does!! I'm watching him!!

Sepia, I think he does realize. He was very somber and he left out valid facts; this was purposeful

Agreed. He's playing with fire.

I haven't been watching, but if what's said here is accurate...I think Chris might be trying to help.

First he presents the case...laying it all out in the open and connecting it to smears from the Primary season. Then he gets the surrogates on and cross examines them about what they're doing...

No one else has been willing to say the unspeakable. They nibble around the edges of this issue.

It IS a huge risk...but I think it's better than what everybody else is doing, which is pretending these are just garden variety attacks. The rest of the MSM conflate McCain's racial attacks with Obama's policy attacks, and suggest they're equal. They act as if there is not a deliberate strategy to ghettoize Senator Obama.

Please find a tape of the Scarborough's morning show from this morning and judge for yourself.

Racism without racists? Don't believe the hype
Pamela D. Reed | Posted October 8, 2008 5:29 PM

There is an astonishing theoretical perspective taking hold in the American academy, and working its way down into the mainstream. And if it remains unchallenged, it seems that it is well on its way to becoming an accepted tenet.

It is the bizarre idea that, while racism is alive and well in America -- to the continued detriment of non-White peoples and the entire nation -- most of the people who continue to perpetuate the discriminatory practices necessary for racism to persist are not racists. They just subconsciously harbor racist sentiments and consistently practice racism.

This may be a notion that defies logic, but it is, nonetheless, the face of today's decidedly amorphous racial discrimination. This perplexing theory of human behavior is laid out in the 2006 book by Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, Racism without Racists: Color-Blind Racism and the Persistence of Racial Inequality in the United States, and is referenced by New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristoff in his recent column, "Racism without Racists." Psychologists call this phenomenon "aversive racism."

SKIP

To make his point, Kristoff directs attention to a recently completed joint study by Stanford University, Yahoo and the Associated Press. He reasons that most White people, like the three in ten Democrats who indicated that they will vote for John McCain -- basically because they cannot bring themselves to vote for a Black man for President -- are "well-meaning whites who believe in racial equality...yet who discriminate unconsciously." They are not to be confused with the "dyed-in-the-wool racists" who comprise an estimated ten percent of the American populace. What a puzzling concept.

SKIP

I reject this notion of "racism without racists." And I don't think people "discriminate unconsciously." To the contrary, I think most people know exactly what they are doing. Rather than aversive racists, I would term such persons stealth racists who don't want to be considered bad people, in an age when bigotry is not in vogue.

SKIP

If we are to ever come close to totally eradicating the cancer of racial hatred in this country--and the world at-large--we must deal with it in honest, stark terms and eschew euphemisms.

This is the crux: bigotry could no more survive without bigots, than socialism or Marxism could exist without socialists or Marxists.

Now more than ever, we must call racists what they are: racists. Of course, their numbers are greatly decreased from the days of enslavement and Jim Crow. But make no mistake, the shameful truth is that racism is alive and well in America--and it is fed by racists.

Perhaps Paul Sniderman, one of the Stanford political scientists who analyzed the massive quantitative findings of the recent AP/Yahoo study, says it all: "There are a lot fewer bigots than there were 50 years ago, but that doesn't mean there's (sic) only a few bigots." And this will not change until good people of all hues eliminate any safe harbors for such people. From sea to shining sea.

See why I challenged Campbell Brown's "HALF-Challenge" to McAncient!??

BUT, we all knew this!!

The "ELEPHANT" remains in the middle of the room; BUT "McAncient/The Gov. are moving closer to saying to their RACIST SUPPORTERS - "Do You See What I See"?

Whew!! CALLING ALL RACISTS Deep Breaths!


Oh! Wait. . . . I just need ta go to the next Repug Rally!!

Racism Without Racists is the title of an awesome book by Eduardo Bonilla Silva where he discusses the recodification of racism (ie: reliance on the notion of "being color blind" and competing notions of American values.) I lecture on "Color Blind Racism" regularly and it is a seminal text in the field.

evita: Thank you for this information!! Could YOU put a piece of YOUR "stuff" on this site!?

Thank you. :>)

I'm a diversity trainer (last 10 years) and college lecturer (for the last 3 years,) so I don't have official "stuff," yet. I have plans to start a doctoral program in the next 2 years. In fact, some of my organizational development work utilizes colorblind theories when I write my final reports. :)
Here's my website if that is what you're looking for: http://www.evavegadiversity.com

evita: NICE!! I needed to be clear on "stuff". I was thinking about an article or lecture or. . . like that. :>) :>)

But, your "info" was impressive! Congrats!! :>)

oh! thanks!

My plan, in two years, is to study the affects of color blind racism on the racial identity development of children and their capacity to challenge prejudice and discrimination.

If you have JSTOR access I can reccommend some research too. Let me know if you want some more. :)

I remember the footage of the bailout meeting in the White House with George Bush...I think Pelosi sat to his left, and Harry Reid sat to his right, looking pious and self-satisfied, while they prepared to hang a 700 billion dollar millstone around Barack's neck...and the neck of every American.

I hear also, that it was Reid who ok'd the addition of the extra 150 billion...

Sigh...sometimes I wonder if there'll ever be justice in this world.

Right-Wingers Mock Obama' 'Ostentaiously Exotic' Pronunciation of Pakistan



Barack Obama pronounces "Pakistan" correctly, with a soft "a," just like a lot of people who know what they're talking about, including Gen. David Petraeus. Apparently, having completely run out of compelling policy arguments to make, some high-profile conservatives have decided to make this their latest campaign hobbyhorse.

The National Review's Mark Stein, for example, said that Obama prefers the "exotic pronunciation." He added, "[O]ne thing I like about Sarah Palin is the way she says 'Eye-raq'."

This came after the National Review's Kathryn Jean Lopez posted an email that argued, "[N]o one in flyover country says Pock-i-stahn. It's annoying."

Read the whole story here.

I'm THA - ROUGH!! :>) It doesn't get ANY BETTER THAN THIS!! :>)

DUMB BUTT!! :>)

"It's like they take pride in their ignorance."

Gah, coming from Washington State, I cringe everytime McCain puts an "r" in it. And what about Palin's Eye-rack?

Ok...

Tomorrow the Troopergate report is due. There's talk that McCain has some bombshell to drop tomorrow. Of course, it's distraction from the report.

I'm starting to get emotionally exhausted with the McCain shenanigans. It's like a lousy relationship when you just want it to be over!

It's like "Get the f*ck out of my life already!"

"I don't wanna work it out"

"I don't wanna talk about it"

"I don't wanna be friends"

"Just GO!!!!"

rikyrah: Campbell Brown - Round #2 -

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/08/campbe...
Campbell Brown Blasts McCain For 'Race Baiting'

In her "No Bias, No Bull" segment Wednesday night, Campbell Brown pleaded with the McCain campaign to stop what she referred to as "race baiting."

"It is getting very, very ugly," Brown said. "Tonight, we are cutting through the bull on the issue of race and this campaign."

Brown blasted McCain surrogates for injecting race Obama's race into the campaign narrative by invoking his middle name or referring to him as a terrorist, and she called on McCain to deliver a "much stronger denunciation than a campaign-generated paper statement":

Look, everybody, we all know that we are in unchartered territory here. Never before has there been an African-American presidential nominee. So without question, race is going to be part of the conversation. Race baiting doesn't have to be. And yet, it is happening in this campaign.

HERE'S WHERE WE PART COMPANY!!

Brown also cautioned Obama supporters not to accuse McCain of racism over his "that one" remark from Tuesday's Presidential debate, as she reported some have done. "Give me a break," she said. "I can hear my grandfather talking about one of his kids or grandkids as 'that one.' He used it a lot. Maybe it's a generational thing. Maybe it wasn't a term of endearment
the way it was when my grandfather used it. Maybe McCain did mean to be disrespectful, but racist? I don't think so."

You CAIN'T tell me HOW to feel about "THAT ONE". It WAS offensive and RACIST in INTENT! Because he runs off at the mouth =IMPULSIVE, he got caught!!

Shoulda known that she couldn't hold that angst til the END of the article!!

Campbell Brown is trying to be objective and still falls flat. What really pisses me off is that other journalists like Katie Couric, Brian Williams and even CNN pundits brought up the "that one" comment in their observations on the debate night ---not Barack Obama personally. But yet, Obama's campaign is always responsible when the McCain campaign is questioned. If McCain is being disgusting, themedia has to bring up what they believe to be an Obama shortcoming to even the scorecard. They won't call McCain out on his shyt unless they blast Obama at the same time--it's ridiculous.

And basically what it boils down to is the media will not hold McCain for his despicable behavior because 1) they just can't admit he is dishonorable because he is a former POW who they themselves have branded a maverick and 2) they truly believe that it is Obama's fault that Mccain has had to resort to this behavior.

Monie: Co-signing!

That's WHY WE HAVE 2 hold accountable errybody who deserves holdin'!! :>)

In chastizing Obama supporters about thinking "that one" was racist, Campbell is showing her own racism because she doesn't take into account the entire story. If McCain had not run a racist campaign and had looked at Obama and given him some sort of respect, the "that one" comment wouldn't have been looked at as racist (as much), it just would have been seen as a grumpy old grampa forgetting Obama's name.

The same thing that was said about Hillary can be applied to McCain:

Hey, I'm John McCain, I was a POW for 5 1/2 years and it's my turn to be President. All I got to do is step right in and what? Barack OBAMA?

I'M WHITE!

I'M ENTITLED!

McCain More Like McNasty in the Debate

What the hell is wrong with Sen. John McCain?

His utter disdain of Sen. Barack Obama was evident in the last debate when he didn't even look at Obama, and when they shook hands at the end, he quickly did it while looking away.

Last night he was even more pathetic.

First, he referenced Obama as "that one" when discussing a vote on an energy bill. The dismissive and condescending attitude was blown off by the likes of Newsweek's Howard Fineman, saying he didn't see anything racial in the remark.

But he's not Black, and has never been marginalized. The statement was off-putting and insulting.

Then the end of the debate was horrible.

When Obama walked over to shake McCain's hand - with their wives at each other's side - he stuck his hand out, but McCain motioned for Obama to shake Cindy's hand. He did. And McCain never bothered to shake his hand later.

This total lack of respect should tick off anyone, and it reveals more about the petty character of McCain.

He wants to talk about honor, decency and character. But his shameful conduct only goes to show why he doesn't deserve to be president.

Shame on you, Sen. McCain, you disgraced the Senate and the nation.

Obama Takes Round 2



(Newser) – Barack Obama was the clear winner of last night's debate against John McCain, two separate polls conducted for television networks found. Minutes after the debate ended, 40% of uncommitted voters identified Obama as the winner to 26% who said McCain came out on top, CBS News reports. Viewers found Obama more likeable by a 2-to-1 margin, and 68% said they believed the Democratic candidate will make the right decisions on the economy.

In a CNN poll, 54% of debate viewers declared Obama the winner while 30% put McCain ahead. Some 57% found Obama appeared more intelligent to 25% for McCain. "If Obama can use this debate to convince Americans that he is a stronger leader than McCain, he may be difficult to defeat," said the CNN polling director.

Michelle Obama Not Offended By 'That One', Praises Palin



(Newser) – John McCain set the blogosphere rumbling about racial insensitivities when he referred to Barack Obama as "that one" during their debate last night, but don't count Michelle Obama among the offended. She told CNN's Larry King that the comment barely registered with her. Obama also said she bore no grudges against Sarah Palin for her recent attacks on her husband, the Boston Globe notes.

"You know, I think she provides an excellent of example of all the different roles that women can and should play," Obama said. "You know, I'm a mother with kids and I've had a career and I've had to juggle. She's doing publicly, what so many women are doing on their own privately. What we're fighting for is to make sure that all women have the choices that Sarah Palin and I have."

Andrew Sullivan 'goes there' about Baby Trig...

http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily...



I'm telling you...something has never smelled right about this kid.

Of course, I'd be willing to settle for the college transcripts, which I still believe are non-existant.

Rikyrah, I'm willing to bet Trig is:

(a) Not Todd's and is Sarah's with another man or;

(b) Bristol's Kid

And if he's Bristol's, then Todd shouldn't be so distant from him. He never interacts with that baby, so it arouses my suspicions.

rikyrah: This has been on my mind for a few weeks. I'm going to march my narrow gluteus over to MUDFLATS and ASK him/them ta do some "looking!" -for those TRANSCRIPTS!!!

Wish me luck! :>)

Isn't it interesting that Obama posted a copy of his birth certificate to quell rightwing smears and yet, nada on Baby Trig (announcing her pregnancy at 7 months when she didn't look pregnant and mysteriously Bristol is missing from school for 5 months in this time period; the 12 hour flight from Texas, etc.) her taxes, The Alaskan Independence Party speeches and Todd's membership, her college transcripts...

I just watched that...thanks. It was good seeing O being candid.

Thanks. I loved it.

excellent. This is what folks need to see. I enjoyed seeing him tear up and nervously to with his ring as Michelle spoke. Also, seeing him talk about the Jonas Brothers was interesting. He seemed truly relaxed. This was a different view for me; so I really think it's compelling.

I almost want something candid/infomercially on the Obama channel or some sort of special interview. It really humanizes him.

In any case, I enjoyed it tremendously.
