AT this point the Mccain camp is totally desperate.
THEY WILL do and say ANYTHING in the next few weeks, so
just be prepared for their barrage of TOTAL BS against Obama.

They now know there is no chance for them. So what have they got to risk???

PS.. Watch this weeks REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER on HBO.
Especially the clip they show of Palin being prayed over by her church
witch doctor. If that doesn?t put the fear in you about Palin, nothing will.

The Clip

I am sincerely hoping that after this election and Obama is president we can maybe move away from this terrible "guilt by association" crap that has muddled the last couple of elections.

doubt it though.

It just goes to show there is nothing else they have on Obama they need to reach and reach and reach to try and tie Obama to these characters.

This is what it's going to be like until the election. McCain's desperate now, he will go into full bore smear mode. We will see an endless parade of new attack ads, each one worse than the last.

Obama's chickens are coming home to roost.

That said, Obama does have an advantage in that his attack ads are nearly cost-free, care of the mainstream media.

I don't know, McCain seems to get a lot of free mileage out of gomers like you who repeat his talking points virtually word for word.

Bitch about the media all you want, but the facts don't back up your case even a little bit. It looks just like emo whining to me.

Well said. Obama seems to have more skeletons in his closet than P&N has partsian-blinded liberals. Maybe Obama should write a 3rd autobiography but make it a hostile biography detailing his many slimy corrupt and fringe friends. It would sell like hotcakes.

he has been vetted, he has had the media scrutiny. You guys just have short memories.

there is nothing you guys can hang on him.

HRC pulled out all the stops, and she couldn't slow him down. McCain is gonna be no different when he throws out the Wright, Ayers, Rezco ads.

If so, maybe it's his association with YOU or someone else equally insignificant, because he hasn't denied his connection to Ayres. :roll:

Ayres was member of the Weather Underground that claimed responsibility for a dozen bombings between 1970 and 1974, when Obama was around eight years old. You're going to have to spin a lot of smoke and bullshit to make that connection stick as somehow painting thier guilt on Obama.

Since then, Ayres, himself has evolved into a distinguished professor of education at the University of Illinois-Chicago. Both Obama and Ayers were members of the board of an anti-poverty group, the Woods Fund of Chicago, between 1999 and 2002. In addition, Ayers contributed $200 to Obama's re-election fund to the Illinois State Senate in April 2001, as reported here. They lived within a few blocks of each other in the trendy Hyde Park section of Chicago, and moved in the same liberal-progressive circles.

The only hard facts that have come out so far are the $200 contribution by Ayers to the Obama re-election fund, and their joint membership of the eight-person Woods Fund Board. The Woods Fund is a foundation that supports grassroots change efforts.

Source.

Is that a swiftboat in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me? :roll:

That's OK, I spoke with family members last night that insist they can't vote for Obama because he is a Muslim.

They also said that it is Pelosi's fault and the Democrats for the Financial collapse 2 weeks ago and before that the economy was strong.

I weep :(

You need to talk some sense into them before it's too late and they stupid themselves to death.

At a fundraiser this morning in Englewood, Colo., Palin cited an article in today's New York Times as evidence that Obama "sees America as imperfect enough to pal around with terrorists who targeted their own country." The Alaska governor was referring to William Ayers, one of the founding members of the Weathermen and someone who once served on a charitable board with Obama in Chicago. The group conducted bombings in the 1960s in protest of the Vietnam War; Obama has denounced Ayers' involvement in the group.


EDIT: Appeasing the forum gods. Topic is about Obama's connection to Ayers who was credited with founding the radical weatherman. Obama has denounced the actions in the past but with politics nearing a feverish pace, everyone and everything is fair game.

Guys your gonna have to forgive me, sitting here with over 100 temperature and bronchitis. I'm not up to par :(

Everyone knew this desperate moment would come up - I just didn't think it would happen until at least October. Next stop - 527s claiming he's a muslim.

Palin cited an article in Saturday's New York Times about Obama's relationship with Ayers, now 63. But that article concluded that "the two men do not appear to have been close. Nor has Mr. Obama ever expressed sympathy for the radical views and actions of Mr. Ayers, whom he has called 'somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8.'

Well the Dipstick with Lipstick obviously reads the NYT, well actually this shows she reads the headlines and forgoes the article and draws her conclusions from that.

By the time the election is over she's going to be the laughing stock of America.

Make no mistake, she's being controlled by people behind the scenes. A few weeks ago (maybe even a few days) she probably didn't have any idea who any of these people are.
She still doesn't have much of an idea. She is a case study on taking a person wantonly ignorant of national politics (and even admitting it in a VP debate) and history and seeing how much they can learn in a few weeks. Honestly, not much. Five weeks in and she still doesn't appear to know as much as the more learned P&N desk jockies.

I heard Palin's irritating nasal voice from the TV. Then I saw her smug face and what-the-hell-are-you-smiling-at smile. If she's talking about supposed terror matters, shouldn't she be serious, at the very least?. So, yes, she has now crossed over the line.

McCain's campaign has announced that the next four weeks will be spent attacking Obama's character. So, someone tell me that at least 51% of the American public will not buy this desperate last gasp of an embarassment of a campaign. So we can assume that the buckets of sleaze we've seen up to this point has been McCain's idea of "positive campaigning?" Is it my imagination, or has McCain already caused a problem for himself by impulsive, poorly thought out theatrical actions? Did he or did he not pretend to suspend his campaign the week before last and ride in on a white horse to "save us" from the financial situation he helped to create through his obsessive love of deregulation.

These sophmoric attempts to distract the media or undecided voters from the real issue which is the economy should obviously reflect the absolute desperation of the McCain campaign to say nothing of the incoherency of the messenger. I would think it's about nigh time for Palin to head back to her native Alaska and get to work on that ammended tax return. Her fifteen minutes of fame based on prepared text are just about up.

By this logic, anybody that went to Univerisity of Chicago or ever donated to a charity that Ayers believed in, associated with a terrorist. If we were to dismiss every politician for every encounter they have had with someone of less than perfect credentials as they climbed the ladder to higher offices, then no one, and I mean no one, would withstand that test.

matthew 7:3

Wasn't palin's husband a registered member of the alaskan indendence party at one point? that sounds pretty gosh darned unamerican to me!, golly gee...

Isn't there a bible verse about this, you know, motes, beams, that kind of thing?. Now, no one is saying that the AIP are terrorists, but her hubby's membership does seem a tad inconsistent with the first part of her statement:

"This is not a man who sees America as you see it and how I see America. We see America as the greatest force for good in this world ..."

This is the same mythic-membership level of consciousness - group think - us vs. them - my country right or wrong - good vs. evil - myth instead of rational thought - that is also characteristic of pre-rational Christianity that Palin seems to inhabit. Arrested development is a widespread phenom, sad to say.

"From:
Head of State
http://headofstate.blogspot.co...tive-duo-inmccain.html


The Impulsively Unreflective Duo In..."McCain Goes Negative"


McCain paces the floor. He is cracking walnuts.

A walnut slips to the floor.

McCain: Damn nutcracker!

Sarah Palin is sitting in a chair at a desk. She is writing on a piece of paper: "J.M + S.P." This is then crossed out and replaced by "S.P. + J.M.". These alternating versions , the one before it always crossed out, continues down the page.

McCain: Well, the first plan didn't work. We tried to put them in a trance with the folksy ray, but they had their deflectors halfway raised. If only you hadn't called the commander in Afghanistan ""McClellan"

Palin: But...didn't you say they were fighting a civil war, Sir?

McCain looks at Palin silently. He is smiling but he is holding back anger.

McCain: "I think the time has come. We have to call in...Dr. Negative."

He pushes a large black button which is the only button on a red phone on his desk.

Dr. Negative immediately bursts through the door. He is carrying flyers, masking tape; telephone wires are wrapparound his arms hanging hanging in every way; the a tattered copy of the book "Accusations of Communism, Polygamy, Drug Use, Spousal Abuse, Fascism, Pedophilia, Miscegenation, Cannibalism, Terrorism and Adultery...for Dummies!" is rolled and stuffed in his left pocket, filled with bookmarks; he is dragging a Robocaller behind him, leashed to a chain.

Dr. Negative (quickly, eagerly): Did you hear? Obama was born in Bin Laden's subterranean bomb making factory, outside of U.S. lines. He was born on a pile of cocaine and dynamite--and the midwife was a Trotskyite!

McCain: Not yet, Dr. Negative. I want you to meet Sarah.

Sarah: Oh, we've already met.

Dr. Negative: That trooper went down! He poisoned the salmon milk at the Wasilla Bible school! With drugs made at a Leftist Satan worshiping collective! That you could see from Russia!

Sarah: You betcha'!

Sarah and Dr. Negative give each other a high five. Dr. Negative's telephone wires rattle on his arm as he does so, triggering the Robocaller, which starts playing "...illegitimate babies made in test tube factories in North Korea and sent to Chicago by Bill Ayers..."

Dr. Negative shuts off the Robocaller with an embarassed smile.

Dr. Negative: Just practicing.

There is a pause.

McCain: That's fine, Dr. Negative. That's fine. Because, now, I have a special job
for you. An important one.

Dr. Negative leaps into the air with excited glee. As he does, detritus falls to the floor--buttons saying "Election Day: Remember, the 3rd Tuesday in November!", business cards, reading "Push Polls Anonymous--We Call, They Fall", "Mongers On Call-No Rumor Too Far fetched"; Bandaids with purple hearts; mangled and dirty chads.

Dr. Negative: A new job! A special job! Oh, Mr. McCain! I'm ready! I'm ready!

Sarah watches from her chair, filing her nails.

McCain: Now, Dr. Negative. You have to make him seem radical...

Dr. Negative quickly pulls a can out of his right pocket, emblazoned with the word "Radical" He opens the top. Red and Black snakes fly out.

Dr. Negative: (eagerly, expectantly, hungrily) "Yes...Yes..."

McCain: You'll have to start rumors that are so inflammatory that they will spread like wildfire and will be started too late to stop them with the actual truth...

Dr. Negative pulls a gigantic grinder out of his left pocket. It is labeled "Rumor Mill". He turns the crank a few times. Hamsters, syringes, and Peace symbols fly out.

Dr. Negative: "Yes...Yes..."

He is salivating.

McCain: They will have to be so incredible, over-the-top, based on such tawdry and poorly sourced evidence, yet riddled with tempting minutia--bullet gauges, Google maps of supposed meetings and the like, that the right will eat them up, and start analyzing the minutia with adolescent glee.

Dr. Negative (Very calmly, matter of fact): Oh, that's easy. They'll eat anything.

Dr. Negative reaches into his back pocket, pulls out a manila envelope labeled "Minutia: So-called "Proof" for the Right". He empties it to the floor. Bullet gauge measures, outdated copies of Photoshop, paperbacks entitled "How to Use the Insane as Competent Witness", "The Faked Moon Landings! Roswell! And Other Believable Phenomena!" and "You TOO Can Be A Warrior--From Your Own Couch!" fall to the floor.

Sarah plucks out the "Faked Moon Landings" book. She starts reading.

McCain: We know how our girl loves to read.

Sarah stops, and begins fixing her hair in a hand mirror.

Now, Dr. Negative, there is one final task.

Dr. Negative: Yes, Mr. McCain?

McCain: It is very difficult. Very...dark.

Dr. Negative: (Leaning forward expectantly, his voice quivering with excitement): Yes, Mr. McCain, Yes?

McCain: You will have to play the card that they played against me. Do you understand?

The room becomes silent. Sarah stops looking at herself, and looks towards the center of the room where McCain and Dr. Negative are staring at each others.

Dr. Negative: You mean...(eyes widened with disbelief. His telephone wires are quietly shaking as he shivers).

McCain (nodding): Yes.

Dr. Negative slowly removes from his jacket pocket what seems to be an ordinary pack of playing cards. They are labeled "Joker" brand. He takes a penknife from his pocket, and slowly slices the covering cellophane. There is a slight and distant roar. He looks at McCain.

McCain nods.

Dr. Negative then slowly removes the red ribbon encircling the cellophane at the top of the pack. He inserts the penknife--holding it from it very farthest end--and flips open the top of the pack.

Smoke begins to pour from the top of the pack, thick, acrid smoke. It quickly fills the room, covering all that is in sight.

McCain (shouting amidst the sound of smoke rushing into the room): And remember--no fingerprints!

Next episode: The smoke is cleared."


Brilliant writing!

I'd like Team Moose Hunter to answer why she said "terrorists?" Plural. Various fact checks indicate that Ayers and Obama were hardly friends let alone pals, so the first part of Palin's statement doesn't hold up. Who are these "terrorists" that she's referring to?

Hmmm, let's see what the NY Times said since they're the source of all of this:

The New York Times article cited by Palin concluded that "the two men do not appear to have been close. Nor has Mr. Obama ever expressed sympathy for the radical views and actions of Mr. Ayers." Other publications, including the Washington Post, Time magazine, the Chicago Sun-Times, The New Yorker and The New Republic, have said that their reporting doesn't support the idea that Obama and Ayers had a close relationship.

Ahhh, so they know each other? Oh wow, instant friendship! So they call each other on the weekends, Cad, is that it?

Go figure, another Hannity-wannabe, "exposing" the truth about Obama and his terrorist friends.

CNN FACT CHECK:
Verdict: False. There is no indication that Ayers and Obama are now "palling around," or that they have had an ongoing relationship in the past three years. Also, there is nothing to suggest that Ayers is now involved in terrorist activity or that other Obama associates are.


Nuff said...!

Right... and how much has anyone looked into any of this? Not much since BHO is a leg thriller...
Now since you've tried to turn this around -let me say that I have not made any claims. I was just challenging YOUR claim and the claims thrown around by the BHO apologists.
IMO, this story should be looked at instead of being glossed over because right now - neither side has much support for their claims.


:laugh: at the BHO apologists trying to go after me/my post. 1 diversion to McCain, 1 generic BHO is going to win, and 2 trying to post info from sources that have not fully investigated this issue. Fact-check may be correct right now...but that is ONLY because there hasn't been a good look into their history yet.

Sad... I really didn't take you for the type to be in the lowest common denominator fucking retarded republicans Klan

Anyhow... I will bet Gonzalez and Ashcroft are responsible for more US citizens (soldiers) deaths than this guy that BHO has no sympathy or empathy for..

^^^ Can you deny that the anal rapeage of Iraqis in abu ghraib permitted and directed by Gonz and Ash... WAS TERRORISM and resulted in more soldiers being attacked and killed???
