What do you mean? They made sure to bring their own.

I hope at least some of the more honest lefties will reconsider using propaganda from what is essentially a Muslim Brotherhood front.

"Honest lefties"? What are there - two? Three?

I can think of Ron Kuby and Juan Williams. That's about it.

Al Jazeera running flak for ZerObama.
Imagine my surprise.

Hmmmmm....Al Jazeera supporting Obama...oh yeah, I'm voting Obama because AJ told me about Sarah Palin.

///

My media equivalence to them is that they are the same sort of people who photoshop anti Americans into their presentations and who photoshop unveiled women out of their photos.

If Sen. McCain rallies are racist then Sen Obama is most certainly a full blown practicing in public radical Muslim.

Had I just awoke from a long coma and heard Al Jazeera bashing Palin, that would be enough for my vote. If the terrorist tv network hate her she must be on the side of good not evil.

They can find racists and extremist here, yet they don't see the 500,000 million there.

Well, it's not because he's a Mohammedan. Not that there's anything wrong with it, but Hussein Obama isn't a Mohammedan. Al Jazeera supports him because he is an anti-American. That's OK.

This misguided measure passed the House shortly after Democrats took the majority in 2007. But it needs several more votes in the Senate and a president who will sign it. Barack Obama supports it; John McCain does not. It’s no surprise, then, that the AFL-CIO plans to spend an eye-popping $200 million this election cycle to support Obama and Democratic candidates for Congress. A win for Obama and big gains for Senate Democrats could remove the remaining obstacles to the euphemistically named “Employee Free Choice Act.”
Cajoled choice is more like it. The proposed change would give unions and pro-union employees more incentive to use peer pressure, or worse, to persuade reluctant workers to sign their cards. And without elections, workers who weren’t contacted by union organizers would have no say in the final outcome.

Labor leaders, such as AFL-CIO President John Sweeney in the space below, argue that the proposed law wouldn’t prohibit private balloting. This is accurate but misleading. Union organizers would have no reason to seek an election if they had union cards signed by more than 50% of workers. And if they had less than a majority, they’d be unlikely to call for a vote they’d probably lose.

re: #53 buzzsawmonkey

People who dislike Obama have just as much right to vote against him solely on the basis of his race as those who fervently support him solely on the basis of his race have the right to vote for him.

I'd prefer that the racists on both sides made their decisions on a different basis, but there are plenty of people who vote on the basis of such shallow things, including whether a candidate is handsome, or has a pleasing manner, rather than the issues.

The great thing about freedom is that people are free to make decisions on whatever basis--stupid or cogent--that they prefer. For over 200 years, it has been possible to trust the good sense of most of the people, most of the time; may the validity of that great leap of faith continue.

You are so right but I do have a question? How many people have actually said they were voting for or against him strictly because of his race? I know the O camp is tossing the race card around like it was rice at a wedding, but I have not seen any real evidence of it. IMHO, the folks who want him are those looking for an expanded welfare system...regardless what race they are. I certainly don't want to be labeled as a racist because I despise Socialism and feel people should work instead of eating off my check. I feel it is unjust for the MSM to claim a vote for McCain is racist because we are voting against Obama.

Because the published "newspapers" are owned and controlled by groups affliated with specific tribal/religious/sectarian interests and who also employ goon squads...Independent reporters who go to an area to "get the facts" -- if discovered by the locals -- will not only have their cameras smashed, the independent reporters will be beaten (there was a video of an outraged mob of the angry tribalists descending upon and viciously beating a reporter -- who barely survived the attack)...That's what's occuring in Iraq...

The irony in this is, of course, that in Obama's case, it is truly the COLOR of his skin that is the issue--because he has no ethnic, cultural, or historical ties whatever to the African American community, descended from West African slaves, to which he has artificially attached himself. This man is the son of a Harvard grad student from Kenya raised by his white mother and grandparents.

Variations on that theme are, "We have to elect him to show the world that America is not a racist nation," "I'm voting for him, but America is too racist to let him be elected," "I want him to be President, and I'm voting for him, but you know this is such a racist nation that he will be assassinated before he finishes his term," "The Republicans are fascists because they didn't have any black people at their convention," and similar statements.

I have heard all of these.

I wish McCain would run the clip from his rally the other day, where a black man got up and begged him to "take it to Obama" - he literally said, "I am begging you to take it to him, you have to win this thing." I only saw it live, they never replayed it.

Have to disagree. Anecdotal I know, but i have heard far too many people here in Savannah area say quite clearly they are voting for Obama because he is Black, or it is time "we have a president". These comments have even been printed in our local paper as interviews or letters to the editor, not even counting what is printed from the Vox Populi call ins.

And I have heard the canard about McCain voters being racist because they are not voting for Obama all too many times including the newspaper (Savannah Morning News) and on local radio stations. Again anecdotal, but listening to a radio station a neighbor had on while washing his car, I heard several variations of the same thing (McCain vote=racist) all afternoon.

re: #110 dentate

Exactly - remember, in the infancy of his campaign, the so called African American leaders were wringing their hands because he wasn't "black enough" - and now these same people talk of him like he's here to lead the race to victory, to be the symbol for all that is great in the African American community. Too bad people like Wright keep rearing their ugly heads and showing the true colors of what some blacks really want for this country.

BTW, I can't believe the comments Jesse Jackson made about how we're not going to 'focus' on Israel anymore aren't getting more coverage, that's HUGE - he's saying when Obama's in charge, we'll be making friends with Palestine and Syria and all those fuzzy folks who want Israel to disappear. How is that not front page news? Imagine if McCain said, "when I'm President, I'm going to re-negotiate the unfair policies we have with Mexico right now." Perfectly valid, but he'd be called a racist and bigot in 10 inch type.

re: #121 debutaunt

Michelle Obama may be aware that there's black racism, and there's white racism...but the question is what is her response? Would she ever suggest that Rev Wright's "church" was indicative of black racism? Is the rantings of a Farrakhan or a NOI individual who despises whites -- is that "racist?" Even if she alleges, that "yes" it's racist -- it will be given a pass...that is, the racism of blacks is perfectly justified and "understandable", given the history of AmeriKKKa. That's the standard Meme...

My daughter voted absentee yesterday in the County Clerk's office. While she was there a busload of young women came in , about 17 of them, with 14 small children in tow. They wanted to register and vote. (you can do this on the same day in Wisconsin)

My daughter said a good number of the young women could not read and therefore could not fill out the registration forms by themselves, or even read their ballots. A couple of the women asked the clerks to do it for them since they 'wanted to make sure they voted for Obama' but could not identify his name on the ballot.

Last night, during the part of the debate where they were talking about how they'd both 'gone negative,' I was screaming for McCain to talk about the number of times he's been accused of being a racist with absolutely no context, and he just would not say it. It would have been a perfect opening, make Obama respond to THAT -but just like he'll bring up Ayers and ACORN, he won't bring up Wright (who I think is worse) because he'll be called racist. It's ok to point out the misdeeds of the whites, but mention a racist black America-hater, and suddenly YOU'RE the bigot.

re: #124 lorenska

I wish McCain would run the clip from his rally the other day, where a black man got up and begged him to "take it to Obama" - he literally said, "I am begging you to take it to him, you have to win this thing." I only saw it live, they never replayed it. And people like Thomas Sowell, Larry Elder, many other African Americans who are intelligent, independent thinking men, who know Obama will ruin this country - of course, they're Uncle Toms to the Dems, but they're used to that.

I have a few black middle aged, middle class male friends, they're not fans of obama. in a jesse jackson not a fan way. terms i've heard used by these men in reference to the o..oreo, uppity blank, Uncle tom (which is a laugh becuase the obama supporters would call them the same), passing, smug blank, I know I'm forgetting a few. but do i think this is a trend among middle age black men?

I noticed something at lunch today about this election while listening to KABC, Air America, and Pacifica. The issue in America is no longer whether Taxation is fair, how it can be done equitably, or if taxes should be raised AT ALL, but instead WHO we are going to raise taxes on.

Our country once fought against Taxes in general but now we simply accept that SOMEONE has to have their taxes raised.

In this scenario, the America public looses, and we slowly march toward Communism/Socialism, and away from individual responsibility.

Then there is this:

ALBANY, GA (WALB) - An independent investigation will look into allegations that a mentally challenged man's presidential vote was commandeered by the aide who helped him read the ballot.

The Albany Area Community Service Board which oversees Primus Industries said today they will bring in an external agency to investigate allegations made by Jack Justice. He told his family that an aide took him and five other mentally challenged clients to vote during their day rehabilitation program, and told them they had to vote for Barack Obama. Election officials say if the allegations prove true, the aide could face charges.

"There are oaths that they're signing and it is a misdemeanor and sometimes a felony if someone is falsely assisting someone, they commit a misdemeanor," said Carolyn Hatcher, Dougherty County Elections Supervisor.

Justice's family tells us Wednesday aides tried to convince Jack he pushed the wrong button, but Jack says that wasn't the case. He pushed the button he was told to push and that was the button for Obama, not his choice John McCain

On the other hand, who likes Obama.

Once upon a time in America, this endorsement would be the kiss of death.

KABC is actually a conservative radio station here in LA (which is funny because they run the standard ABC news, so you get conflicting stories right after one another).

The equation is simple: If Pacifica says I HAVE to vote yes on whatever, I make sure to vote NO and vice versa.

Optics scanning! It won't keep the illegals away but at least they'll only get one vote!

I'd be okay with the blue-finger method.

re: #216 opnion

Crap. I thought it was the siding on my house.

Yes, he has airtime scheduled there until at least October 26.

Ah, so you only want "bluebloods" to have the right to vote, is that it?!

RACIST!

re: #218 WriterMom

OK.

I'm on SEETHEOMATIC. Taking advantage of mentally handicapped voters you are supposed to help, when they CLEARLY know who they want to vote for? There is nothing too effing low for these thugs.

I see it all the time. I wrote an article for my blog on voter privacy because I have seen stuff like this here in town. Buses full of nursing home residents, elderly activities, church groups, etc being driven by some big ole guy that just stands back there and watches them vote. I have seen them turn around and look at him as they push the buttons on the computer.

I wrote the column after I heard a couple of elderly women discussing it in the store. They were mad and didn't know what to do about it. At that stage? Nothing. But I gave them the judges number anyway.

Currying favor with the immigrant community again, I see.

That pun is just a naan-starter with me.

re: #241 Archimedes

Come to think of it, I do see black girls who are very uneducated. This could be the hip-hop attitude that educating yourself is "white". So, it's anti-White racism that motivates them. Thank you postmodernists.

It's that whole 'disavowal of middle class-ness' thing.

Except now all of a sudden the One is fighting FOR the middle class, of course. seems logical to me but then again I may be drunk.

re: #235 DeafDog

More importantly, have we seen any impact yet of "Joe the Plumber" and how will we be able to distinguish any bounce between campaign bounce vs. plumber jump?

If McCain starts to pull away in the polls, a crack will develop in the numbers....

Let's see - I think the plumber was Monday, and I would bet most people hadn't heard about him till last night, so I'm guessing not.

Maybe Obama will have a Plumber Plunge!

Trampoline - ah well. I thought she was attached to a bungee rope ...

How are you today?

re: #216 opnion

Uh thats facia, not facial. Rosie O'Donnell commits a facial crime.

*sigh*.

You're all going to mock me mercilessly again, aren't you?

Oh, well. I'm still going to correct it.

You want "that's" for "that is", and you want "facie", not facia.

I'm very sorry, I don't mean to be pedantic.

So I was once told to use [Link: www.daylife.com...] for pictures instead of yahoonews by LGF. A great suggestion for pictures I must add.

But today I noticed a feature of "search the best websites for" tab. So I put in John McCain and then did the search and got almost all suggestions to got to Huffington Post
