[edit]Background
Larry Johnson moved to Washington, D.C. in 1979 to begin work on a Ph.D. at the American University. Although he completed successfully all coursework and comprehensive exams, he did not write a dissertation. In 1978 and in 1983-85 he worked in Latin America on community development projects as a community organizer. Returning to the United States in 1985 he joined the Central Intelligence Agency, thanks in part to a letter of recommendation from Republican Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) that helped to "open doors" for him at the Agency.[3] Johnson entered on duty at the CIA in September 1985 and was a classmate of Valerie Plame. Every member of that class was undercover. After a year in the Career Trainee program, which included a stint with the Afghan Task Force, Johnson was assigned as an analyst in the Middle America Caribbean Division in the Latin American Affairs Office of the Directorate of Intelligence. He received two Exceptional Performance awards and was promoted ultimately to Senior Regional Analyst for Central America.
Johnson remained undercover in the CIA until October 1989, when he resigned from the CIA and started a new job in the Office of Counter Terrorism at the Department of State. Johnson played an instrumental role in launching the Terrorism Rewards program international advertising campaign (working with Diplomatic Security officers Brad Smith and Michael Parks). [4] Johnson also was involved in a variety of crisis management response operations, including the release of hostages from Lebanon and liaison with the Pan Am 103 families. He left government service in October 1993 and started his own business as a consultant.
After leaving government service, Johnson became a frequent guest on many major television news shows when a question of terrorism came up. He was first interviewed by CNN following the capture of Carlos the Jackal. Johnson subsequently appeared on CNN, ABC's Nightline, CBS, the BBC, MSNBC, the Jim Lehrer News Hour, NBC, and NPR. In December of 1999, for example, Johnson was hired by NBC to serve as its terrorist expert for the Y2000 and was in Time Square with Tom Brokaw and Katie Couric ("a lot of fun and the best way to see in the New Year"). Johnson also was hired in January 2002 as a Fox News Analyst and remained under contract until February 2003.
Since 1994 a significant focus of Johnson's consulting work has been with the U.S. military special operations forces in scripting and conducting military counter terrorism exercises. He traveled under orders from the U.S. military to Iraq in May 2006 to work on a short term project.
A registered Republican who supported President Bush in 2000, Johnson became a strong critic of the Bush administration in May 2003 for its conduct of the war in Iraq and, a few months later, for its role in the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame.[5] He was also featured in the 2004 political documentary Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism. Since Robert Novak's controversial disclosure of Valerie Plame as a CIA operative in July 2003, Johnson has contributed to public discourse on intelligence matters, often sparking further controversy. He has been interviewed by both the mass media and the alternative media and published commentaries on a variety of issues, including the Plame affair, the controversy concerning Mary McCarthy, and the resignation of Porter Goss as Director of Central Intelligence.

[edit]1996
In 1996, Johnson noted that terrorism worldwide was on the decline. "Terrorist incidents [both internationally and in the US] have fallen to levels not seen since the 1970s. Whether measured by the number of incidents, the number of fatalities, or the number of groups, raw statistics demonstrate that the level of terrorist violence has declined since the mid-1980s. In fact, the evidence suggests terrorism was more widespread and deadly 10 years ago."[6]
He also wrote an op-ed piece for the New York Times suggesting that the newer and more deadly terrorist threat to the U.S. was embodied by "networks of terrorists, mostly foreign, working within its borders." Exemplifying this threat was Ramzi Yousef, one of the masterminds behind the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center. In the article, Johnson suggests that enhanced cooperation between intelligence agencies, particularly the FBI and CIA, is mandatory to meet the growing threat of terror networks.[7]
[edit]1998
In 1998, Johnson argued that while overall terrorism was declining, the threat from bin Laden and al-Qaeda should be the focus of American counterterrorism policy:
The nature of the threat posed by Bin Ladin is highlighted by my final chart, number 7. Osama Bin Ladin and individuals associated with him have killed and wounded more Americans than any other group. This chart also illustrates that groups such as Hamas and the Tamil Tigers (LTTE) prior to 1998 have killed more foreigners in the anti-US terrorist attacks. If we take into account the bombings of the US Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, Osama's status as the most lethal terrorist is certain.[8]
In addition, he told USA Today that bin Laden had participated in "virtually every major attack of terrorism against the United States" in the 1990s. Johnson underlined the threat posed by bin Laden, saying that he was possessed by "hatred and craziness." If left unanswered, "he would continue to terrorize Americans around the world. He has no compunction about killing women and children. He's a complete egalitarian in his murderous attitude."[9]
[edit]1999
In an interview with PBS's Frontline for its 1999 program, Hunting bin Laden, Johnson discussed Osama bin Laden.[10] According to Johnson, Americans had "tended to make Osama bin Laden sort of a superman in Muslim garb." "Actually," he continues, "Osama bin Laden, in my view, represents more of a symptom of a problem, and the problem is this: the Saudi Arabian government, not just Osama bin Laden but many people in Saudi Arabia, have been sending money to radical Islamic groups for years." Johnson continued:
When you look at who's killed Americans in the last 10 years, the individuals he's supported and backed--I'm basing that upon the initial information that's been released in the indictments and conversations with others in the intelligence communities--Osama bin Laden has been the one killing Americans. No other terrorist group in the world has been out killing Americans except for Osama bin Laden.... Osama bin Laden remains out there as the one really targeting us. So, we recognize that he's the threat. He's serious about wanting to kill Americans, but as long as he's in Afghanistan, as long as he doesn't have access to a cell phone, as long as he can't just hop on a plane and travel wherever he wants without fear of being arrested, his ability to plan and conduct terrorist operations is extremely limited. We have to recognize [that] he would like to do a lot of damage. He would like to kill Americans, but wanting to is different from being able to, having the full capabilities in place.[11]
In the interview, Johnson doubted the ability of members of bin Laden's organization to plan and put their lives on the line:
There's not another Ali or Mustafa out there at this point and Osama bin Laden in my view has not been a very effective organizer or leader. He talks a great game and puts out terrific threats as far as stirring the passions in the United States and maybe firing up the imaginations of some young Muslims throughout the world. But when push comes to shove, can he get a group of people who are together who will say: we are going to plan an operation, we're going to put our lives on the line, we're going to go out and try and kill people and we don't care what the consequence is? It hasn't happened.[12]
Frontline asked:
[Is it] ... fair to say what you're saying is that the president of the United States, his national security advisor, his deputy national security advisor for counter-terrorism, are basically blowing smoke [about the danger posed by bin Laden] and his followers]?
Johnson responded:
They're grossly exaggerating the problem. They are hyping it. They shouldn't be talking about rising terrorism. Instead of saying "terrorism's rising," it's not. "Terrorism is spreading," it's not. "More people are dying from terrorism," not the case. But what they should be saying is, "There's one individual out there that really doesn't like us, and he's made it his mission in life to kill Americans, and we've gotta deal with him." But we need to have a voice of reason in that process instead of putting ourselves out crying wolf, because this is essentially what's taking place right now. They call it the administration that cries wolf.[12]
[edit]2000
Johnson co-authored an article in 2000 with Milt Bearden which focused on the threat posed by al-Qaeda specifically, rather than terrorism trends in general. Beardon and Johnson note that new information emerging about the bombings at Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 points to the threat posed by Imad Mugniyah and Osama Bin Laden will require "a coordinated policy that will employ a full range of covert, clandestine, diplomatic, and military operations," concluding:
The Clinton Administration has shot its bolt on the terrorist problem with small effect, and no last minute show of force will change the record. A new administration can start afresh with a more sharply defined set of terrorism goals – Mughniyeh and bin Laden and their protectors for starters – and bring the full, coordinated force of American diplomatic, military, and intelligence capabilities to bear on the problem.[13]
[edit]2001
After Johnson's testimony to the special forum at the U.S. Senate, Gary J. Schmitt, executive director and CEO of the Project for the New American Century, refers in the Daily Standard (blog) to an op-ed piece Johnson wrote two months prior to the 9/11 attacks, claiming that Johnson argued that the US had little to fear from terrorism.[14]
In an editorial entitled "The Declining Terrorist Threat," published in the New York Times on 10 July 2001, Johnson says:
Judging from news reports and the portrayal of villains in our popular entertainment, Americans are bedeviled by fantasies about terrorism. They seem to believe that terrorism is the greatest threat to the United States and that it is becoming more widespread and lethal. They are likely to think that the United States is the most popular target of terrorists. And they almost certainly have the impression that extremist Islamic groups cause most terrorism.... None of these beliefs are based in fact.... While terrorism is not vanquished, in a world where thousands of nuclear warheads are still aimed across the continents, terrorism is not the biggest security challenge confronting the United States, and it should not be portrayed that way.[15]
Ten days after the 9/11 attacks, after quoting the above passage, Timothy Noah concludes a post in his "Chatterbox" feature at Slate: "Johnson's analysis, we now see, was bold, persuasive, and 100 percent wrong."[16] Johnson defended himself against such attacks:
The rightwing is resurrecting an op-ed I wrote in July 2001. I stand by the full article. It is still relevant today. I am accused, incorrectly, of ignoring the threat of terrorism. In fact, I correctly noted that the real threat emanated from Bin Laden and Islamic extremism. President Bush, for his part, ignored the CIA warning in August 2001 that Al Qaeda was posed to strike inside the United States.[17]
After September 11, Johnson appeared several times on FOX News to address the question of military action against terrorism. On 14 November, he defended the FBI's proposal to interview 5,000 students in the U.S. suspected of having information relevant to the September 11 investigations:
I think they should talk to everyone that they feel they have a need to talk to. I mean, look, this is war. This is not a legal proceeding. This isn't the O.J. Simpson trial. The folks that attacked us -- they murdered Americans. And we've got to recognize that in wartime, we should do things differently.[18]
[edit]2003
In January 2003, Johnson wrote an analysis of the relationship between the upcoming U.S. invasion of Iraq and the threat of transnational terrorism. According to Johnson, Bremer's response was to tell him that "it didn't matter what Saddam did or didn't do, we were going to war."[19] The paper warned that an invasion would "do little to destroy the infrastructure of radical Islamic terrorism responsible for the 9-11 attacks." Noting that Saddam Hussein's regime has been a longtime supporter of regional terrorist organizations such as the PLO, Johnson examines contacts between Saddam Hussein and transnational terrorist organizations such as al-Qaeda:
There is no doubt that Iraq is a state sponsor of terrorism—i.e., a country that provides financial support, safe haven, training, or weapons and explosives to groups or individuals that carry out terrorist attacks. . . . According to Central Intelligence Agency data, there is no credible evidence implicating Iraq in any mass casualty terrorist attacks since 1991. . . .
Johnson notes that the period immediately leading up to 2003 saw a rise of activity surrounding terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, suggesting that "Iraq is willing to help a movement that it would otherwise oppose on ideological grounds. Nonetheless," Johnson concludes, "it is important to understand that Iraqi entreaties to Al Qaeda, are most likely intended as a tactic to bolster Iraq’s ability to fight off a U.S. invasion rather than a deep-seated theological and ideological commitment to the terrorist agenda of Bin Laden.[20]
In that analysis Johnson also warns that the U.S.-led invasion was likely to backfire:
In fact there is a serious risk that a U.S. led war against Iraq may crystallize the diffused anger in the Arab and Muslim world — a heretofore unattained goal of bin Laden and his followers — and persuade more Muslim youths to take up the terrorist banner against America and her citizens.... If we decide to invade Iraq we must be prepared for the contingency that our attack will inspire young Muslims to pursue jihad against the West in general and the United States in particular. Just as the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan rallied many Muslims, especially young adults to the cause of jihad, a U.S. attack may enable Islamic extremists to attract new followers.[20]
Johnson also gave interviews on the topic of what to do with captured al-Qaeda leaders; while he did not condone torture, he suggested that a "sleep deprivation and reward system" might be useful for getting information from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed:
I don't see a constitutional right to have eight hours of sleep. You shouldn't subject someone to freezing but they don't get to wear mink coats, either.[21]
In May 2003, Johnson joined members of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) in condemning the manipulation of intelligence for political purposes:
It is a misuse and abuse of intelligence. The president was being misled. He was ill served by the folks who are supposed to protect him on this. Whether this was witting or unwitting, I don't know, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.[22]
[edit]Plame affair
After Robert Novak wrote a column identifying the wife of former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson as a CIA officer, the media invited Johnson to comment on the ensuing scandal because he had been a member of the same Career Trainee class with Valerie Plame Wilson. For example, in October 2003, he appeared on Democracy Now to discuss the Plame affair. He told interviewer Amy Goodman that Valerie Wilson's cover should have been respected whether she was an "analyst" or a "cleaning lady": "if she's undercover she's undercover, period. If the media allows themselves to get distracted with those kinds of curve balls, they ignore the issue."[23]
He told a Senate Democratic Policy Committee in October 2003, "My classmates and I have been betrayed. Together, we have kept the secrets of each other's identities a secret for 18 years. Each and every one of us have kept that secret, whether we were in the CIA, in other government service or in the private sector. But this issue is not just about a blown cover. It is about the destruction of the very essence, the core of human intelligence collection activities: plausible deniability, apparently, for partisan domestic political reasons."[24]
Johnson testified at a special joint hearing of Congressional and Senate Democrats on 22 July 2005 about the consequences arising from the Plame affair.[25]
[edit]2008
In 2008, Johnson emerged as a staunch supporter of Hillary Clinton and a strong critic of Barack Obama. Larry Johnson's blog, NoQuarterUSA, became a rally point for Clinton supporters wary of Barack Obama's qualifications to be president. Supporters of Barack Obama insist that a story that first appeared on Johnson's blog--a report that Republican operatives have a tape of Michelle Obama making racially insenstive comments about caucasians--has been "refuted" Barack Obama's Fight the Smears website.[26]. However, Johnson never claimed to have the tape and reported that the Republican operatives controlling it intended to release the tape sometime after the Democratic Convention in August 2008. On October 21, however, he asserted that the operative in possession of the tape had been instructed by the McCain campaign not to release it.[27]

It is, to be sure, a little bit cheap (and slightly at odds with the usual parameters of this feature) to criticize someone for making an erroneous prediction, particularly after a tragedy. Chatterbox is especially reluctant to tag Johnson because Johnson's op-ed was argued forcefully, backed up meticulously with factual data, and bravely at odds with conventional wisdom at the time of its publication. Add in that Johnson now makes his living as a consultant to corporations about terrorism, and therefore had everything to gain by exaggerating the dangers terrorism poses, and the guy practically looks like a hero. Chatterbox, who two decades ago was an editor for the New York Times op-ed page, would have published Johnson's piece had he still been an editor there this past July. In his capacity at Slate, Chatterbox might well have written up Johnson's prediction, and perhaps even endorsed it.
But boy, is he glad he didn't! Johnson's analysis, we now see, was bold, persuasive, and 100 percent wrong. Sadly, a mistake this embarrassing cannot be ignored. As a fellow skeptic, Chatterbox in all sincerity wishes Johnson better luck next time.

Bud White’s excellent piece on the Republican 527 ad now hitting the airwaves showing only part of Barack Obama’s relationship with unrepentant American terrorist, Bill Ayers, has the Obama campaign worried. First, here is the ad:
Second, the Obama campaign has sent this letter begging stations not to run this ad. Here’s the letter:
Obama’s folks are in a snit that their Golden Child is being associated with terrorism. Well, too damn bad. It is true. Barack was in bed with Bill Ayers for at least 13 years.
Up to this point Barack’s team has avoided scrutiny on this issue because the media is too damn lazy to do simple investigation. Barack has tried to pretend that Ayers was just some guy from the neighborhood. Bollocks!! Ayers hired Barack to run a multi-million dollar foundation for him.
This ain’t swift boating. This ad is true and Barack has to offer a credible explanation of why he climbed into bed with Ayers. It may have made sense in the milieu of Chicago politics, but this dog won’t hunt in a national election. In fact, this dog will continue to bite Barack’s derrière for the duration of the campaign.
I asked a friend who knows someone who has seen the video to Michelle Obama making disparaging remarks about “white” folks. You know, those angry God hugging, gun toting mouth breathers. He wrote me the following:
But there is a very strange air about Republican operatives. In the last three weeks, I’ve talked to real insiders in VA, GA, AL and here. They all remind me of a unit waiting to cross the line of departure on an attack. Quiet, determined, last cigarette, last “can of peaches out of the ration,” radio checks, confident. They all use the term “safely nominated” when referring to Obama. That is weird.
They can’t wait to start taking Barack apart on the issues the media chose to ignore up to this point. And when the attacks intensify Joe Biden’s foreign policy expertise won’t matter one whit.
(small, medium and large sizes; for both dogs and cats)
+ 
OH is tipping towards McCain; the Republicans are within 3 in PA. If they overtake Obama there, it’s over.
With the link above disabled for some reason, here is another link to the Ayers/Obama ad:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXXr9oLd9S4
This ad is getting plenty of hits on YTube. Besides your upload it is getting viewed on many others, one of them around 50,000 hits.
Some of the other anti-ob ads have a quarter million hits.
The word is slowly getting out and that snowball just started its roll downhill to hell.
Biden on barky and McCain.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDVUPqoowf8
Speaking of Ohio (where I am), I find it more than a little strange that Barky & Co. talk about winning Virginia and Colorado and seem to pay little, if any, attention to Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania. The mood here is not Obama-leaning. I know several Dem Party operatives and they offer quiet resignation when discussing him. The vibe is that they are covering their own butts to get elected and trying to get the electorate to look away from who is at the top of the ticket.
I add PA & MI because I travel there and they seem to be in a more anti-BO mood than Ohio.
I live in Colorado. Obama will not win here. The cauccuses were not representative of Coloradans. If we had not hahd a blizzard keeping rural Coloradans from attending caucusses Obama would not have won. We were not experienced with caucusses and didn’t have any idea how to run one. In November, we will have all day to get to the polls, and we can vote by absentee ballot. It will not be lambing season and it won’t matter if it storms like it did in March.
I live in Colorado too. I SO resent having this fraud of a DNC here in my home town.
GO AWAY BOZO! AND TAKE YOUR TERRORIST FRIENDS WITH YOU.
me three! With the exception of maybe Denver, Barry is going to have to work really hard to win Colorado. Lots of conservatives here.
Hi to you from a Colorado native. The Colorado I came from was too smart to be taken in by Barry Soetoro, glad to see that some still hold out for values.
I have to question the timeing and the intent of the mayor listed in the article below.
Colo. city official cancels Al-Jazeera barbecue
AP
GOLDEN, Colo. -The city manager of Golden, Colo., has decided to withdraw his invitation to let the Al-Jazeera news network broadcast from a barbecue in his backyard on the final night of the Democratic National Convention.
City manager Mike Bestor has apologized for any divisiveness he caused in the city of about 18,000, about 15 miles west of Denver.
Bestor made his decision after a City Council meeting Thursday at which residents complained the event with the English-language service of the Middle East news network would be disrespectful to veterans and active U.S. soldiers.
Al-Jazeera is based in Qatar and is funded by the royal family of the Persian Gulf nation. The network says its English service reaches at least 100 million households worldwide.
McCain will need to pull significantly ahead in order to win the swing states due to the voter fraud that will/is occurring.
Swanny, you are so right!
He will NOT win Colorado. Count on it.
I’m from Ohio as well and Obama doesn’t have a chance here.
Nope.
Oh, these guys are masters. I saw this clip at hillaryis44 yesterday afternoon and was thinking it would end up in an ad and it has. Princess O is toast. Can you say Bush-Cheney again? {well, Bush-Cheney lite because these two cannot accomplish anything bad (or good) as well as the terrible duo did for the last 8 years.}
I love this ad and these comments! I am beginning to relax. America is over. Right wingers spewing out lies to win when they just have to continue to steal elections!
McCain POW McCain POW McCain POW McCain POW and so on…
It is fun to rant though and have other people to share your views so I did enjoy reading a couple pages of this response regarding the ad.
Be afraid and weak citizens! Only McCain POW McCain POW can save you from the terrorists!
Keep shopping, let other people die on your behalf, Americans must be SAFE above all else from the scary people that live somewhere else.
Anyway, this site is terrific, the nation is lost to the least willing to examine facts and consider issues as if it were not their team in a sporting event. It is over, we’re bankrupt, we’re hated, and let us have more war!!!
McCain POW McCain POW McCain POW McCain POW
Emma,
I just love a coward with her head up her ass…
If Obama truly has nothing to fear, then he should instruct the University of Illinois to release all of the Ayers-Annenberg papers to the public immediately. Until then, we will believe that a connection exists between a domestic terrorist and a predidential hopeful, one that hopefully will do him in.
I live in PA, and I’ll tell you right now that there is an excellent chance for McCain to win here. Many people are not fond of Obama here, as his 6-week bus tour around the state showed. It did almost nothing to help him in the primaries and actually hurt him in a number of locales.
That’s why Obama is going to give out street money in November in PA. They know they are in for a real struggle here.
I’m actually reading comments from ‘bots this morning claiming that Biden will save PA for Obama because he’s originally from Scranton! How do these people get up in the morning and get their shoelaces tied?
He-Man tennies with zippers and velcro
This
veiled threat“letter” , is just MORE obassole campaign CENSORSHIP and media manipulation. And we thought Communism was dead…Obama will get Pa. with Biden as VP. UNLESS something devastating comes out on Obama.
Biden is loved there and frequently referred to as their third Senator.
Outside of Philly there’s not much love for Joe Robinette Biden.
There is this new commercial out about Obama and Rezko:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjC2AlWy6CI
.
Yup. Jail is a housing problem.
ha, yep, Rezko has the house he deserves.
ob in the WH? No, no, no GD America won’t do it.
Biden???
LOL!
Obama’s platform entirely on “change” and getting away from same old “washington politics”; Biden is a 5 term senator.
Obama prides himself in being opposed to the war: Biden voted for it.
Obama was accused of plagiarism; so was Biden.
Biden called Obama “articulate” and “clean”. Biden also said you cant walk into a dunkin donuts without an Indian accent.
but the classic: Biden is quoted as saying that Obama is not ready to be President.
Obama’s campaign is like a gift to the GOP with a big red bow.
I can rest easy now.
President McCain…hero, patriot
Biden made the Dunkin Donuts comment to an Indian supporter, too. That was the sprinkles on top. Hey, welcome to America, Hadji, the land of milk and sugar in my fucking coffee, thanks.
now he’s Mr Hopey Changey Samey (or little black samey). the Lionel & Archie Bunker ticket. at least he won’t be siphoning off Hillary voters by putting her on the ticket. I was hoping the suspense would go on a few more weeks so those VP wanna be’s would be tortured by reporters blocking their driveways. they deserve it.
HEY, THAT’S STORYBOOK, MAN! But, apparently not a fairy tale.
I notice that the NYT doesn’t mention the year Biden began his service in the senate. I think I know why. Where was Joe Biden in 1973? On Capitol Hill. Where was John McCain? In the Hanoi Hilton.
When these Republican operatives start tearing BO’s candidacy apart, I will be there watching - for Dean, Pelosi, Brazile, Kerry, Kennedy and all the rest of them who went out of their ignoring reason and logic to crown forever bs-ing Mr. BS.

Did they cross paths on the commute from DC to Delaware? Did Biden know about his back tax problem? What about Gannon’s Delaware “Bedrock
Corporation?”
Why did “Jimmy/Jeff” make this intriguing comment about Biden on his blog? Did “Jimmy/Jeff” know Blevins, Biden’s campaign staffer who was indicted for stealing Campaign Funds from him? So many questions that need answers! What’s a Democrat to do?
Here’s a clip of what Gannon/Guckert said on his blog…
“I watched a clip of Sen. Joe Biden on Bill Maher’s HBO crapfest. wonder why he didn’t mention meeting me some years ago. C’mon Joe,
think..”
http://www.jeffgannon.com /
“C’mon Joe, think…”
WTF does THAT mean? I remember Biden “recoiling” after that comment was made. Shut him the hell up. Completely. Now THAT’S news!
Off topic: So much for Hopey/Change, eh? A NEW kind of politics? Give me a fucking break. You can’t get much more “establishment” and “good old boy’s club” than Joe Biden. I mean, REALLY…
Does anyone else remember this little not-so-subtle TAUNT by Gannon/Guckert?
Now that you mention it, I do.
I was curious, but later forgot about it and moved on.
Now I’m wondering if Biden is just a big head fake.
Obama thinks this “suspense” is helpful, but it isn’t–it’s just making him look childish, like someone who is DELIBERATELY trying to own the Sunday news cycle and all the talk shows.
I hope they give it two minutes and move on to other shit, myself. It would serve him right for being so transparently manipulative.
maybe Biden is a plant to bring Olyingcheata down??? I am kind of surprised he is the pick! Or maybe he’s the pick as a childish slam to Hillary since she and Biden are friends? I’m just glad it’s not Hillary!
It’s really annoying, because no matter who he chooses, Obama still sucks. His acting like he’s picking his date for the prom is very childish.
B.O.W.L.I.N.G
Barrack Obama will loose in november…guarenteed
And Bauer writes in that letter “Please reply my colleague…”
Do any of them proof anything before it’s sent out!
Jeebus!!
I find it amazing, too, that the guy took TWO PAGES to whine about what could be whined about on a SINGLE page!
The whiney characteristic of the letter–”He’s being MEAN to me!” and the nitpicking of the rules (it would be interesting to hear the other side’s interpretation of the same rules) do not cause anyone to rise to Obama’s defense. He looks like a crying quasher, here.
Don’t complain about who put the ad out, Barack–tell us, specifically, which parts are NOT TRUE.
What’s the matter Clinton Fan? You don’t find whining like a candy-ass a desirable trait for a POTUS? LOL “Waaah! Your being mean to me. I am telling MEchelle on you!”
We have to admit, BO/BS is the Commander in Chief of whining. He can whine in the morning, in the evening, and all around the world.
YES! Michelle choose the VP. No women concurrence. I bet and I won, because I told my husband who will be the next VP.I was sure would be Biden. You know why? after Larry Siclair arrest in Denver. Biden’s son is the attorney general in Denver,(something like this).Who promised to silence Larry? the ” Judge” in Denver.You are free to have your conclision.
I think his son is AG in Delaware… that is the state that nabbed LS on some charge.
Biden is the tactic admission that Obama lack’s the experience to be President.

Well, the article says the Obama deplored Ayer’s activities in the 1960s. I guess he deplored them so much that he went to work for the guy and then launched his political career from Ayer’s house.
I figured it would take longer to destory all references to barky. I guess Daily had a couple of his best guys on it.
They have been scrubbed.
Scrubbed Lilly white.
Oh shit i hope i don’t get called a racist for saying that.
>>> Oh shit i hope i don’t get called a racist for saying that.
No trolls tonight? Do we have to call each other names, just to stay in shapr?
You are racist!!!
Just kiddng. YOu have to say something worse than that. hell I’ll even let you call me sugar tit’s and I wont’ call you sexist either. Just don’t all me stupid.
I’ve always wanted to call someone “Sugar tits.”
Thanks!
And you’re smart, too!
When Biden had that 1987 plagiarism scandal, some Republican, I forget which, commented– in 1900, “or as Joe Biden would say, four score and seven years ago…”
One of the great one liners in campaign history.
OUCH…
I’d love to know who said that. That’s pretty sharp!
I will relish every moment of their attack. I can’t wait to find out the stuff on this guy that NONE of us have even heard about yet.
It will be great after all this VP bull if barky doesn’t get the nomination.
I would laugh laugh laugh.
This first Ayers ad has got to be an opening ante. There is something about that relationship, perhaps something involving the Annenberg Challenge, that Obama is very afraid of. It’s got to be something that is just below the surface, in the Annenberg Challenge papers that Ayers apparently put a lock on, that they don’t want found. Everyone knows that the AC was essentially a failure, a huge project with gradiose objectives that wasted a great deal of money and in the end achieved very little. Obama was the Chairman, so in his only previous executive management outing he failed. But what is hidden are the details of where that money was actually spent, or perhaps a proposal that Obama and Ayers jointly backed that the board didn’t approve because it was too far off of the reservation for even the mainstream left. Whatever it is, Obama and Co. desperately don’t want it found before the election. Why?
Money laundering and bribes would be my guess.
How about incompetence - all that money spent with nothing to show for it.
Incompetence in a thin resume - not exactly POTUS material.
Worked for Shrubbie, didn’t it?
Obama makes bush look economical.
I love when Barky’s supporters retort, “But Bush didn’t have any experience, and we elected him!”
Hey kinda like barkys primary campaign in PA.
Steve Diamond indicated that he was only able to get info from Brown University, Not much in Chicago.
Cooked books.
Regardless of what is beneath the surface, BO thought it was so horrible, he withheld the material information that, Ayers hired him to head the Annenberg Challenge; or even that he had that job. That’s how I knew there was a there, there. Given the paucity of relevant experience on his resume, I assumed he must have kept this experience off the page because it would torpedo his candidacy. Now, I expect to see an ad with all these flip-flops about the true extent of his relationships to these people. (For example, Ayers was just a fellow in my neighborhood vs. he hired me to head the Annenberg Challenge; and Rezko was just a client of the firm for whom I did ~5 hours of work vs. Michelle and I visited him at his vacation home and he helped me to buy a million dollar home.)
“Ayers was just a fellow in my neighborhood vs. he hired me to head the Annenberg Challenge; and Rezko was just a client of the firm for whom I did ~5 hours of work vs. Michelle and I visited him at his vacation home and he helped me to buy a million dollar home.”
yep. etc. etc. etc.
ob/bi - the dems had already shot themselves in the foot, now they’ve put a nick in their jugular.
Biden - change nobody can believe in. Biden said ob is the first AA candidate that is articulate bright and clean. And the obots call US racists?
ha ha ha ha ha ha. Biden. ha ha ha. At least between them both this site is secured continued material to explore and a humorous gaffe festival.
Obama may or may not be successful in stopping the ad from running but i just posted this ad on my website…
hopefully if everyone spreads this ad online enough americans will get to see it anyway…

america first!
I really don’t know what to say. I am feeling really down after this announcement just broke. I think I kept secretly hoping that he would pick Hillary. I think I must have really wanted this to happen, otherwise I wouldn’t be feeling so crappy right now.
I like Joe Biden, but this is not about him. It’s that Hillary was just as qualified as anyone, if not more so. It’s that Obama kept saying she would be on anyone’s short list. It’s that his campaign never even vetted her. It’s that Hillary got screwed one more time. If there was ever a faint hope that I would vote for the democrats this year, it’s gone. withoutparty.com
The whole DNC needs to be fired — the only way to do this is for a massive loss in November.
Hillary should NOT be anywhere near Obama — he is going down (and hopefully going to jail).
Then in 2012 — Hillary will rise out of the ashes.
Unless McCain gets real smart and asks Hillary to be his VP. However — that might eliminate her from running in 2012.
I was greatly relieved with that creep Biden was the VP pick.
Biden who is in the pocket of the credit card industry– just as Obama/soetoro is being funded by Wall Street and other financial hard hitters. Biden in his own way is dirty.
And if we scratch the surface Biden is probably another sexist pig — just like Soetoro.
I was really hoping Hillary would be on the ticket myself. It seemed like the strongest combination. For all we know, though, Hillary might not have wanted the spot. And this VP outcome might be better for Hillary and the party in the long run.
As long as she supports the Obama campaign this time around, another run at the presidency remains a distinct likelihood. She’ll be in the clear for 2012 if Obama crashes; if Obama is elected, she’s an obvious candidate for an important cabinet slot that further empower her and position her for another run at the White House.
First of all he will not be president and will not have a cabinet and - she wouldn’t want it anyway.
Second - I am THRILLED and doing the HAPPY DANCE that it is Biden and NOT Hillary.
I love Hillary, she is a great senator to NY and that is where she will continue to make a difference for each and every NY’er till 2012…
For her to have anything to do with ob’s crash and burn would ruin her reputation that she has guarded for her entire life. She will exit this year unscathed by his demise.
To watch them crash and burn from a safe distance is Hillary’s best option, provided the SD’s do not awaken from their one year toxic slumber and say “I could have had a V8!” and NOMINATE her.
The DNC is full of flaming idiots.
That expresses my sentiments. I have no respect for Biden anyway. He was tied with Kucinich and just above Gravel IMHO in our original choices for Dem nominees.
Nobama!!
The rumor mill has it that she turned him down three times, the first time at that secret meeting at Diane Feinstein’s house. She reportedly said something like, “You’re going down and I’m not going with you.”
But 2012? God, I don’t know if I can wait that long without losing my marbles. I sat through eight years already. UGH. No. I’m still going to hold on to the “hope” that the Super D’s will come to their senses.
Troll
Hillary on an Obama ticket as the VP?
ARE YOU NUTS!!!!!
You want her to go down in flames along with the Fauxbama?
I thought you guys were Pro-Hillary.
The last thing we want or need is Obama’s dirty political stink on Hillary.
I am totally relieved she is not on the ticket with that liar. She would never have been able to BE the leader that she is, as barky’s ego couldn’t handle it.
Barky and the DEMs will crash and burn. HRC will rise from the ashes of this dung heap and bring sanity back to America in 2012.
ARE YOU NUTS? I’m happy is not Hillary the VP. She won the first place,why she would accept the second? It’s a metter of self respect. Let Obama go down by himself. She deserve better for what she was working so hard and pass all the humiliations by Obama camp.,starting day-by-day a new fight in what she was believing,the fairness and US, the people, from whom she was fighting.
I bet Hillary is relieved he didn’t ask her, she couldn’t have refused. She would have gone down with him and the rest. Now she is free; oh, she’ll support him in her own way, but with the necessary distance. And we are free to NOT vote for OBS. I have hoped for this, I am relieved.
Who says she couldn’t have refused?
Of course she could have. She can do anything she wants. Did you hear the music she chose for her final speech when she announced her suspension?
It was “who says you can’t go HOME” - she took her ball (and her 18 million voters) and left the stage for all intents and purposes. She honored her commitment to shill for him now and then, she paid her dues and then some.
Thankfully Bill (the NON-racist) didn’t have to.
ob/bi - now ain’t that a laugh. Change/Same ‘08.
Yes, but will she support him enough? Will she mention his name MORE than 10 times in a speech (see nyt on Fri)? It’s gonna be HER FAULT that BO loses!
She got down on her knees and said “THANK YOU GOD”
The last thing she needed was to be picked to be vice president and carry that load.
Let them sink on their own.
COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY ALWAYS
PUMAS,BUBBAS,THOSE PEOPLE AND HILLARY’S HARRIDANS RULE
She got down on her knees and said “THANK YOU GOD”
It would have been the death of Hillary’s political career if she had been the VP pick, so don’t feel too bad!
Remember, Obama needs her help, she doesn’t need Obama for nothing, unless she is looking for losing or corruption in her resume.
Oh! Hell, it’s the Xerox’s twins.
Obama is also whining to the Obamabots, stirring them up yet again to threaten the stations airing the ad. He’s sending out this email:
” Yesterday, a right-wing smear group launched a full-fledged attack against Barack, pulling in every baseless lie and re-hashed false assertion in their playbook.
Not only that — it turns out the ad may be illegal. Campaign finance experts are weighing in about violations of election law. And the ad is so ridiculous that CNN and even Fox News have both refused to run it.
This is exactly the kind of politics Barack is running to change.
Unfortunately, some TV stations in Michigan are running the ad right now.
Contact stations in Michigan and tell them this kind of garbage shouldn’t be run on the public’s airwaves — no matter how much money they are getting to run it.
John McCain claims he had nothing to do with this attack, but a former McCain consultant leads the so-called ‘third-party’ group behind these lies.
The primary funder of the ads, Harrold Simmons, is one of the main culprits behind the Swift Boating of John Kerry and a top bundler for John McCain. The spokesman for the group also has ties to the Kerry Swift Boat attacks.
The McCain camp and the Swift Boaters must be truly desperate to change the subject from John McCain’s shocking disconnect with the economic struggles of the American people.
Take action right now to make sure this trash doesn’t pollute another election:

Obama excels and whining and threatening. His foreign policy will make Bush’s foreign policy worthy of a Nobel Prize or two.
My Beloved Hitler Youth!!! Now is the time for you to RIZE RIZE!!!
Use the link to send letters of support for the stations bravery in standing up to the intimidation by The O and his cult to silence free speech and dissent.
Nobama!!
They are always vague about their claims…
What laws are broken here?
What is ridiculous about it about the ad? What is not true? Prove how it is a lie, just don’t say it is. Unless you can not prove it and can only whine and name call as your only defense.
Obama, the squelcher of free speech.
Move On already came out and said they will harass all 527’s and just tie them up with frivolous suits. There are likely no laws being broken, or you would have to be pretty creative to make a case, it’s just meant to be tiresome.
“safely nominated” = mission accomplished
All it will take is a few more of these ads and McCain will have a 10 point+ lead in no time. If Obama ran an ad asking/questioning if we knew enough about John McCain, it wouldn’t be effective, and not just because we’ve known all about the personality and bio of McCain already (for, well, forever now) it’s because of the fundamental differences between Democrats and Republicans.
Please forgive the broad generalizations I am about to make; the veins of which the argument comes is valid..it is late and I am certain I probably won’t articulate this well enough.
Republicans tend to base decisions off of blind faith and values. Not that there is anything wrong with that, it’s just that the cloth from which one is cut contains identifying values/beliefs that are familiar at their core. How faith and religion became woven into the fabric of the Republican Party is an entirely different discussion, but the point remains that conservatives do factor in core values into their positioning.
Democrats/progressives by nature are more likely to question and examine any point or topic to get an answer/result of “what’s best for all of us” rather than a republican answer/result of “what’s best for me/those similar to my core values”.
That’s why this ad and the ones that are sure to follow will be effective and successful in casting doubt onto Barack Obama in the public domain. Basically, even if the ads are retracted or successfully killed, once the seeds of doubt have been planted, they will continue to grow and takeover whatever predetermined positioning the likely Democratic electorate has taken. I guess I should have just said that, sorry if this post irkes someone, no intention to offend anyone.
How would you react, though, if the Obama campaign countered with an ad featuring John McCain at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally? Say they matched up outtakes from Sturgis with quick video clips of John’s many moments of apparent memory lapses and angry outbursts, while calmly suggesting that the man might no longer have the dependable, level-headed judgement required of a guy who has his finger on the button of our nuclear arsenal? We could end with a freeze-frame of John’s face and a superimposed mushroom cloud.
That would be highly effective. It might destroy the guy’s image. It would sure as hell damage it. But does anybody think that’s where a presidential campaign should go?
The Ayer’s ad steps over the line and heads off in that direction. I think it would be better for everybody if got canned before the Obama people decide they’ve got to hit back even harder or lose the election.
Follow that ad up with an ad of Castro of Cuba, Gaddafi of Libya, Kim Jong of North Korea, Hamas, and Hugo Chavez of Venezuela all voicing their support for Obama.
Then show the possibility of Kim Jong’s troops storming into South Korea; Cuba allowing Russian troops in their bases; Hamas killing innocent Christians and Jewish people; and Chavez invading South American countries.
“Obama said he was a citizen of the world.”
Then ask Americans: “Obama associated with Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan and Rashid Khalidi.”
“Do you really think he is going to stop these marxist and terrorist? ”
John McCain-Country First.
Follow that ad up with an ad of Castro of Cuba, Gaddafi of Libya, Kim Jong of North Korea, Hamas, and Hugo Chavez of Venezuela all voicing their support for Obama.
If Hitler came out in WWII and said he hoped that Roosevelt would win reelection, then the American public would have built a wheelchair ramp right outside the main door to the White House and rolled his crippled ass into traffic on Pennsylvania Avenue. These endorsements send a loud message, and more Americans should be waking up to it. Maybe it’s acculturalisation, milquetoast anemia, increasing lack of national identity, superficiality, multicultural hipness, indifference towards the trajectory of this country, the internet which corrodes a national cohesiveness - maybe we really are lazy, stupid and mean. In that case, this great experiment called America would be over. As Macedonia, the Persians and the Romans went, our empire ends.
As for the choices in this election, John McCain is an honorable man. He has nowhere near the baggage Obama brings to the table. His age and his temper are not really concerns. We see him in debates, he inserts himself into the news cycles enough, that we all know he has a strong command of the facts and the events that shape our world. He continues to demonstrate this over and over. Our culture, a significant portion of it at least, still respects our elders, rewards sacrifice and hard work and forgives mistakes.
McCain could easily counter with audio/video of Obama being confused on how many states there are (57?), etc., etc. Obama has said MANY things that show confusion and a loose grip on facts/details.
Last year Obama claimed 10,000 got killed by Tornados, in Ohio I think.
I don’t know where he was when he said it, but he was referring to Greenburg, Kansas, a city of 10,000 people. The tornado leveled most of the city, but there were only about six deaths.
Oh, please. Your imaginary ad and the very real one that is happening now are apples and oranges; no one for one second is going to be fearful of McCain-induced nuclear war.
Voters are not cattle; when presented with the full, clear picture of WHO Obama really is and how he came to be that way, they will be able to make a fully informed decision on the caliber of individual they want/trust in the White House.
This isn’t an election for MAYOR OF KIDDIE CITY, it’s for the PRESIDENCY of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA! This is not an office for the inexperienced to cut their teeth on.
Funny that Russ Feingold recently said he would not sit there and say McCain doesn’t have the temperament to be president. He said (after working closely with him for a long time, he certainly does and would make a good president.
barky and biden. b&b bed and breakfast and bb gun.
Ah, perfect together - if you are a PUMA.
b&b+ Beavis and Butthead?
Okay, Ziggy, I guess you will singlehandedly change the landscape of presidential races. In Ziggy’s world (haha) politicians don’t make each other look bad with the truth, just a little bit off-kilter with the issues.
OK. John McCain: The oldest guy ever to take office. Older even than Ronald Reagan–the last republican with Alzheimer Syndrome to have his finger on the button of our nuclear missiles! John is already showing early signs of senile dementia: Mental lapses, memory problems, explosive outbursts, inappropriate behavior… (Here’s John at Sturgis, babbling incoherently about “four dollar a buck gallons”, and then offering his wife up for a topless talent contest notorious for the involvement of bananas…)
Of course, if John goes ’round the bend it can always be covered up. That worked with Reagan. The First Lady whispered his lines to him. We could rely similarly on our new First Lady. In spite of past drug addiction that reduced her to stealing drugs from… Oh, never mind! That’s past history. Betty Ford had drug and alcohol problems too, and she did just great! As a matter of fact, lots of republicans have drug and alcohol problems. That’s no problem. Why, our current president was once an obnoxious drunk! He’s had DUIs and a cocaine arrest but came through it all fine. Now he’s just obnoxious. Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict, and he’s a veritable font of conservative wisdom! There’s Cheney, with his own DUIs, and he’s a perfectly good leader. He STILL drinks. No problems there at all! (Except for gunning down the occasional lawyer while duck hunting drunk. The Secret Service whisked him away and kept him from the local authorities until his blood alcohol level was back to normal.)
Etc etc.
Is that what you like?
The problem is, these claims are old as the hills because McCain has been around. People feel they know him and are inoculated from those smears. I hope Obama does run an add like that… it will backfire.
Obama is the “high road” candidate… he has painted himself in a corner. His stealth attack technique got him through the primaries but that gig is up for him now, everyone is onto his game.
I wonder when Slate will publish the Obama Campaign Death Watch like the one they had for Hillary….
I absolutely love this ad. Thank you to Bud for finding it and Larry for putting up the original post.
As soon as I read it I had to post something about it - so I don’t really think it is going to matter if the stations don’t play it - it’s all over the web by now.
I know my article received many hundreds of hits and my site is nothing compared to NQ.
http://logisticsmonster.wordpress.com/2008/08/22/puma-politics-gumby-obambi-is-dog-chow/
This add is short, simplistic and to the point. There is not one statement in this ad that is not true; that is why Obama’s protest letter to TV stations will be ineffective. There is nothing in this ad which cannot be proven if taken to court.
Best of all it’s TRUE! Unfortunately they left out that Ayers and Bambi were on two boards together not one - the Woods Fund and the Ayers created Anneberg Challenge Foundation.
I’ve seen that ad on television already. It was shown as an example of possible coming TV attack ads, during a discussion about attack ads–which, of course, was just a free way of showing the damn thing.
As an Obama supporter I object because, of course, I think it seriously mischaracterizes a relationship in order to defame the candidate I support. My objection goes beyond that, though. The republicans are pushing the envelope again. The result will be further escalation of a character-attack war in which all legitimate important national issues will finally be totally lost.
Do we really want a resurrection of the Keating Five scandal? Do we want open attacks on McCain’s judgement, emotional stability and mental acuity, featuring clips of all of his recorded misstatements, memory slips, angry outbursts, his bizarre performance at Sturgis, etc? I don’t. I don’t agree with John McCain’s policies, but I do have respect for the guy, and I don’t want that to begin to seem like legitimate retalliation and the only way to counter the increasingly negative tone the republican campaign is taking.
If you didn’t want obama mauled then the press should have vetted him properly. After what obama did to hillary clinton and bill clinton sending memos to make them look racist. I have no sympathy for him. By the way i’m black, so i don’t take racial allegations lightly. Obama had no qualms trying to crush hillary or ending her, and I have no qualms with anyone crushing him. This entire election has been a farce, the things is campaign has been allowed to get a way with phenominal. He has lied repeatedly. Not kept one of his problems, seeks to destroy anyone who disagree with me. I can’t wait for someone to take him a part. Think about this, if obama had really wanted change he would have worked with the clintons and not against him. I’m 30 and so 3/4 of my life has been lived under republicans, but what it hasn’t been lived under is an individual who has done everything he can to crush other peoples free speech and the right to know even basic information about him. The only reason the olive branch is now even being remotely extended is because you are scared. If not you would insulting people just like most of the obama supporter have been doing for months. Obama is a big boy, he wanted to play with the big kids. So let him.
A big reason to make sure Obama is not elected is to think about the fact thta this is someone who gets away with alot of shady behavior and lies and has NEVER been held accountable for it. If he is not held accountable as a nominee, do you really think he’d be held accountable as POTUS? We have got to clean house with our Government. They have got to hold criminals and liars accountable, as does the media. Too much has gone unpunished for too long!
So Ziggy, you would like for the legitimate important national issues to be at the fore-front, right?
Why is Barack Obama talking about John McCain’s houses?
The door swings both ways.
Because he couldn’t answer the question of how many houses he owns? It’s a question of competence. Obviously something that McCain is lacking.
He actually doesn’t own any of them; they belong to his wife and her family.
Since housing is now a hot topic, let’s talk about Obama’s mansion and the Tony Rezko scandal, more of which will be coming into the daylight in the coming weeks.
I think we all would like to hear the “straight answers” that we’ll get from the Obama campaign on that little gem.
A recent McCain ad indicated Rezko had helped the Obama’s purchase their new home. Which is a flat-out lie.
John’s people can tell a flat-out lie, and that’s your idea of revealing the truth about Barack Obama? This has been thoroughly investigated and proven.
John can endorse this reality-distorting crap, and you think John is a model of honesty and virtue, who is sure to be honest with the American people in matters of policy and governing?
Pardon me, but I just can’t follow the logic.
Are you attempting to revise history and put words in Obama’s mouth?
Obama admitted he had a land deal with Retzo.
Ziggy, Why don’t you look at the archives here at No Quarter and read a post called “How to buy a mansion you can’t afford”, it tells the entire story. This property was a single parcel for 80 years, Obama and Rezko got the owner to split the parcel because Obama couldn’t afford it. Michelle Obama found out about the property being for sale because she was on the Landmarks Commission in Chicago and Hyde Park is a Historic District. The property was split in record time and both sales closed on the same day, which was a condition of the sale. If you look at the entire parcel you can see the part that Rezko’s wife bought for $625,000 is about 1/3 of the land and was NEVER worth $625,000. This was all done to allow Obama to get his Mansion. Rezko was already in trouble at this time, it had been in the Papers for over a year that the FEDS were on Rezko, yet Barack and wife wanted this house and did business with a crook to get it. Rezko didn’t have the money for this deal so he was able to borrow $3.5 million from a middle-eastern billionaire, Nadhmi Auchi, to make this happen. They wanted to help a sitting U.S. Senator and possible President. This might not be CORRUPTION in Daleyville or Kwametown but it is everywhere else.
Hey Ziggy, where did you go??? Don’t you have something to say against the facts???Hard to refute the facts, isn’t it. If the land and house was only to sell together and Obama could not afford both, Rezko bought the land, overprice so Obama could afford the house, underpriced. So, without the help of Rezko, Obama could never have bought the house. Where is the lie in that. I hate debating Obama supporters. They refute facts which is unbelievable!! How do you refute the facts???? You Obama supporter are blind, brainless, idiots. I pray over half of American has more common sense then you Obamabots!!! If not, this country is going to hell. God, help us all. Country and brains first!! McCain 2008!
Sorry Ziggy, you’re wrong. It’s been throughly investigated and is true. Now the tricky part is the timing and the money. One avenue has Rezko getting money from a middle eastern arms dealer and then three weeks latter helping Obama finance his mansion.
Following the logical path for the money..it doesn’t look good for Barky.
Also, being named in the opening statements of the federal criminal trial for Rezko is not a good thing for Barky!
The SS Uberstupid Obama is going DOWN!
Glug…glug…glug
I prefer someone to say I don’t remember right now, McCain has more important things on his mind. It is brave to admit not to know something at this moment, rather that tell something that might not be acurate. Hush up already; naming such trivialities as gauge for competence. Give me a brake, the incompetent here is not McCain!
How stupid…McCain’s wife owns most of their property, he has a pre-nup. Most of their property are helded in land trusts which belongs to his wife and other family members. As he said his campaign would get back to them. Perhaps McCain thinks about other things than his wife’s properties .
BO, on the other hand opened the door for all of us to know about his land trust, how he acquired his home with the help from Tony, but only after MO found the home awhile working in Mayor Daly office. She, helped the owner thru subdivision, so it could be sold in two sales… so that BO could buy the house and Tony the land. The house has been given a lower tax appraisal, and a no-down loan from a close associate of Northern Trust. As the ad says who has the housing problem?
That’s absurd. He couldn’t answer the question, because his wife owns those houses. Some of them are condos and investment properties. They keep separate finances as well as joint assets. So why would he have a ready answer? DUH.
I think those are fair issues. They’re all things that should be considered before deciding to vote for McCain.
I don’t object to candidates being negative. The worst things about each one should eventually be exposed, and the voters can decide what matters. What I do object to is attacks that are untrue, misleading, distorted, or excessively inflammatory.
I don’t find anything untrue or misleading in McCain’s ad.
I think you are confused Ziggy, Obama sucked up to this TERRORIST because it would advance his career, and it does seem that Obama is attracted to anti-American folks like Ayers and Wright. Obama launched his first run for State Senate in Ayers’ living room, Ayers made Obama Chairman of the Annenberg Challenge and got him on the Board of the Woods Fund too. Now Obama complains because he hung with this TERRORIST for years and people point this fact out? You reap what you sow.
ziggy, You are very crazy Obot troll!
Hey, I’m making a plea for a reasonable, rational campaign here. I think that would be in the nation’s best interest, whoever ultimately wins the election. You really don’t see my point?
Obama didn’t run a rational campaign during the primary so why should anyone expect him to run one now.
He won, didn’t he? The only thing that is irrational are those that refuse to accept that fact.
He was chosen by the new Democratic Party leadership and did not win fairly. You can continue to live in a fairy tale world. Obama is a fraud and will lose in November.
I will not support or vote for someone who is not qualified to be President of America. I will vote America first before supporting a political party.
Obama = Bush 3.
Obama Supporters =Neo-Cons.
I totally see your point. More important issues (not things like number of houses, arugala, etc.) should be front and center. But ads like this one (which is FACT based) and the ones that are coming are a result of the media’s failure to fully and properly vet Obama as a candidate. Issues like Ayers & co. should have been either put to bed along time ago in the primaries or should have knocked Obama out of contention to begin with.
We should be having serious debate on environmental policy/global warming, Russia/Georgia, Iran/nuclear issues, along with a myriad of others. We are not talking about these things because my political “party” is trying to force a Manchurian Candidate when the alternative was the most qualified candidate for president on either side of the aisle for the last eight years.
Although I cannot speak for McCain, I wonder if he really didn’t know the answer. Perhaps he doesn’t consider them his houses - rather, his wife’s houses (thus, his wife’s business -not his). She is the Miss Moneybags - not him. I have read that there is a pre-nup and he wud walk away with diddly, squat, nada if they were to divorce.
It’s a stupid point, because people look at character when making up their minds on who to vote for, and their decision-making process is emotional and hardly rational. Not to mention, Ayers and Obama and their relationship which he has gone to lengths to downplay are rational, legitimate concerns. This is a man of weak character - he was a terrorist, a fugitive from justice, a loathesome human being and a crook. His father was a fatcat corporate swindler, the kind of person Obama swears he’ll take down. It is very important that this relationship bears heavy scrutiny. It says everything about Obama’s values.
What would you like to discuss about the chant of Hope and Change>
Zitty,
How’s the basement doing? Bong water all refreshed for a hard days playacting?
Your pleas for a rational campaign are as ridiculous as your efforts at logic.
Quit crying, you candyass pansy mama’s boy. You picked the wrong side to back and now that you’re getting dizzy circling the bowl, are asking to change the rules.
Well, sucker, you and the punks who stole the nomination went and poked the bear with a stick… now watch what happens…
You see audacity as the first definition below.
We know it is the second.
Audacity:
1. the willingness to take bold risks : her audacity came in handy during our most recent emergency. See note at temerity .
2. rude or disrespectful behavior; impudence :
The way one deals with rude, disrespectful children is to give ‘em a sound spanking. Pad your ass in November
and I feel sorry for you being in a such idiot state!
Obama campaigned very hard in the 51st state, the State of Idiocy, using ACORN “sound and lighting” consultants to get over…
State #52, the State of Confusion was swept for Obama when only Barry’s supporters showed up for the caucuses.
In our nation’s 53rd state, the State of Whitedenial, grandmothers were enslaved to wait at bus stops until they voted for Barry. Poor weather conditions were also blamed for the low turnout.
In states 54 and 55, the great States of Northern and Southern Rejection, the registrations of all people over 50 were successfully challenged thus allowing Barry to sweep his way onward.
#56 the State of Apoplexy experienced such intense anger statewide that only two mail-in votes were allowed, (both from some small town in Georgia.) So, based solely on Mssrs. Putin and Medvedev’s write-ins, Barry was nominated.
And finally in our nation’s 57th and most recent state, Heinz, die hard Kerry supporters, bamboozled by an attack of windsurfing Ketchup bottles, failed to make any impact in the voting, as usual, and the state fell to Obama by default.
It has just been announced however, that since all seven of these states have recently passed very strong anti-plagiarism laws, that neither Obama nor Biden can safely campaign there any longer. These states are now rated “Too close to call”
Excellent points made in the ad and very effective. One of our neighbors removed his Obama yard sign yesterday based, in part, on finding out about Obama’s relationship with Ayers.
The MSM has hide the truth about Obama but as Obama’s past and hideous background is revealed, more level headed Americans will stop supporting him.
Legal experts think the ad is illegal and can’t be run under current statues. McCain can run the ad as is but the American Issues Project would have to alter it to run. 527 groups can only talk issues and not advocate for a candidate and this ad may have crossed that line. Fox News refused to run it for fear of legal liability.
I think the character of a candidate is an issue… But then again, we can not legislate character.
Ziggy:
The envelope that you speak of that the Republicans are pushing contain legitimate questions pertaining to the character of the candidate that the Democrats hope to place in the White House. The question is “What kind of person should be the leader of the FREE WORLD?”
If your counter to that is that the Democrats will “open attacks on McCain’s judgement, emotional stability and mental acuity, featuring clips of all of his recorded misstatements, memory slips, angry outbursts, his bizarre performance”..etc, then bring it on. The American electorate somehow managed to look past those sorts of thing and elected G. W. Bush not once but twice (still scratching my head about that myself) with all of the attacks on his “judgement, emotional stability and mental acuity, featuring clips of all of his recorded misstatements, memory slips, angry outbursts, his bizarre performance”..etc.
Something tells me that if those insignificant points didn’t derail Bush four and eight years ago, I kind of doubt that taking that route will make Obama’s journey to the White House any easier.
I don’t believe the Gore or Kerry campaigns attacked George W. Bush in that fashion. They took the high ground, stuck to the issues, and were the targets of such attacks.
Remember?
The ad is factual — the Weather Underground did terrorize America. They did a lot of harm — Ayers was one of the leaders — and Obama/Soetoro is a friend — they have ties and have been associated for a long time.
In fact the ad left out a whole lot of stuff that regular reader of NQ know by heart.
The American voters have a right to know about Obama/Soetoro’s friends and what he’s been doing with his life.
I hope this ad and others like it hits tv screens and radios — layer upon layer of Obama/Soetoro’s secrets laid bare!!!
Let the games begin.
PUMA!!!
Well, yeah, Obama and Ayers are friends.
And one of McCain’s closest personal friends is G. Gordon Liddy, who masterminded the break-in of the Democratic National Headquarters, and was sentenced to 20 years in prison for conspiracy, burglary, and illegal wire-tapping. Liddy also concocted a plot for the fire-bombing of the Brookings Institution in Washington DC, to destroy classified evidence and documents damaging to the Nixon administration that had been leaked by Daniel Ellsberg. He created a plot to kidnap anti-war protest organizers during the Republican National Convention and transport them to Mexico. All of this is proven.
Liddy was also accused by fellow convicted Watergate burgler Frank Strugis–a former CIA operative–of the assassination of Officer J. D. Tippet.
A best friend with a colorful past, I’d say. Should we draw any conclusions about John McCain from that association?
This is all known, water-under-the-bridge stuff. No surprises as McCain has been vetted for years. It’s one thing to throw in people’s faces stuff they already know and don’t care about, it’s another thing to actively try to cover up and hide your established relationships that got you where you are today. (Read: Ayers & Rezko and many, many others)
I’m with you. I can go online, and find anything out about McCain I want. Not so with obama, I have not like the secrecy around this man from the beginning. He reminds me too much of a second coming of Bush. Why people can’t see that I do not know, but I don’t trust a person who puts fake birth certificates on what is supposed to be a website of “facts” about themselves. He is one man I will never vote for and who must never get in the oval office. I don’t care what McCain has to do as long as it works. If obama wants to be trusted he must tell the truth and he has yet to do this, in ever turn you catch him in a lie.
Water-under-the-bridge stuff?
Don’t you all keep repeating over and over that the company a person keeps defines that person’s character? That, you say, is why knowing Rev. Wright so long proves something about Obama. That’s why knowing Rezko proves Obama is a crook, and why knowing Ayres proves Obama is a terrorist sympathizer.
So, McCain is the long-time close friend of a felon convicted of conspiracy, wiretapping, and burglary; a guy who plotted to firebomb the Brookings Institution and kidnap peace activists; a guy who may have been involved in the assassination of an American president. But in this case the company a man keeps is totally irrelevant? It’s just water-under-the-bridge stuff?
You can’t have it both ways.
Ziggy: “A best friend with a colorful past, I’d say. Should we draw any conclusions about John McCain from that association?”
I think very few people are without a friend or family member with a checkered past. Senators Obama and McCain both have them.
The difference between McCain’s friendship with Liddy and Obama’s with Ayers is that Liddy hasn’t been an architect of McCain’s career. He hasn’t been there guiding, providing the funds, the career associations and positions and stepping stones to the state legislature, Senate and now a run for the White House. There’s a difference between a friend you play golf with and send a Christmas card to and one who has been a major player in bringing about your political career goals. The latter expect more than a Christmas card for their friendship.
McCain doesn’t change his position and view on issues on a whim, when it comes to being easily influenced by others, he isn’t. The same can’t be said about Obama. He takes on the views of whoever is in the room and when he moves onto the next room, he takes on those views. When put on the spot and he has to take a position and act on it, he chooses the one he owes the most favors to. Obama reminds me of the kid in front of the tv on Saturday morning, flooded with commercials for cereal. This week he absolutely has to have Captain Crunch, even though he’s reminded he hasn’t finished the boxes of Sugar Smacks, Fruit Loops and Frosted Flakes he had to have on previous Saturdays. Electing someone who is so easily influenced by the latest fad, opinion or marketing scheme and who owes favors to people like Ayers would be idiotic and dangerous.
What? How old was Obama when the Weather Underground was in operation?? You’re grasping at straws…and you don’t even realize it! You should be worried about McCain’s inane comments….not that Obama worked with a guy that just happened to have had a radical past. You guys need to check into Cindy McCain..and her family’s connection with the Bonanno crime syndicate…and why won’t she release her tax returns (especially since John seems to be living off her wealth). I’m sure you can dig up some real dirt there- and not have to dwell on these stupid evil fantasies you all seem to have about Obama.
You’re welcome.
It is obvious u didn’t take the time and watch the ad. Did you not read the article or the previous articles here? U don’t get to comment on something when don’t take the time to at least sound somewhat informed - armed with REAL info - not just from your daily KOS talking points, not just from the faux factcheck.org “I love me” Obama site - but, REAL information. Obama is friends with a real domestic terrorist. On 9/11, Ayers - in the midst of our nation’s mourning - said he wasn’t sorry and wishes he had done more. Obama’s campaign was kicked off at his buddy Ayer’s house. Obama is good friends with Ayers.
Have you ever heard the expression …”you are who your friend are”…
Cindy McCain isn’t running. Your idiot candidate has asked that spouses are off-limits. You shud abide by his terms of engagement.
Cindy McCain: The Democratic Party rightfully was upset when in 2004 the Republicans went after Kerry’s wife’s tax records and questioned her wealth. Kerry’s wife never released her tax records.
Obama’s association with Ayers: It doesn’t matter what age Obama was when Ayers participated in the bombing of the Pentagon and waged war against the U.S. government. Obama made an adult decision to associate with Ayers. One is known by the company one keeps.
Obama said he wants Michelle off limits but you have no hesitation going after Cindy.
Let’s consider the company John keeps. Let’s start with George W. Bush…
That relationship is a bit hard to overlook.
Or are you sufficiently out of touch with political reality to assert that it doesn’t exist?
John McCain is in the same Party as President Bush who is his party leader. You know like how hillary has to hang out with Obama, even though she probably wants to beat his head in with a baseball bat. I don’t care for my boss, but hey we have to hang out together for the eight hours that I work, so i can get a pay check. But personal relationships are competely different. Obama chooses to hang out with these people, some of them he buys houses from at discounted prices so he can look the other way while they exploit minorities. Do you really wanna go there?
Duh, Bush is the sitting Republican president, of course there is a relationship there. If you ever picked up a newspaper you’d know that McCain has been the black sheep of the Republicans for quite some time now, hardly BFF’s with W.
As a registered Democrat, McCain is the only Republican I can stomach voting for and it’s because he had the “audacity” to reach across party lines and actually create legislature. He & Clinton (whether I agree with them or not) both had the scruples to take a stand on a particular issue AND ACTUALLY DO THEIR JOB AND VOTE ON THEM rather than vote “Present”.
***Leaders are defined by the decisions they make, not the consequences. That my friend, is Obama’s true problem with the electorate right now. He has no real record, no history, nothing for us to buy into except empty (yet noble) rhetoric.***
Was that really even noble. I know i’m kinda young but…i’ve been hearing that stuff since i started preschool.
It’s a world of laughter a world of tears it’s a world off hope it’s a world of fears, there’s so much that we share that we should be aware it’s a small, small world.
Reach out and touch somebodies hand, make this world a better place if you can.
People all over the world join hands form a love train, love train.
Lord we don’t need another mountain, there are montains and foot hill’s enough to climb. what the world needs now is love sweet love.
I like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony. I’d like to hold it in my arms and keep it company.
Think of your fellow man, give him a helping hand, put a little love in your heart.
WAR…huh…what is it good for …absolutely nothing!
Imagine there’s no heaven I wonder if you can.
all that crap was written before i was born. Maybe that’s why obama’s tone deaf cover of it did nothing for me. I always liked the original artists better. The only exception is james taylor vs. Marvin Gayes “how sweet it is”
Did you watch the Ricks Saddleback forum?
He is not known as ms. congeniality again.
LOL. The Maverick is not BUSH. Get it?
This is your first GE, isn’t it, Ziggy…
Pink: While I disagree on the tax record comments, I agree with your point about Michelle/Cindy fair game, which in a way supports why I think the tax records should be released for full disclosure.
Now I respect that Cindy McCain’s business/enterprises are a separate entity from John McCain, an argument there I can live with when talking about keeping her records private. But when you have husband/wife “teams” like both the Obama’s AND Clinton’s, even though one spouse is not running for office I think then they both should be open to equal vetting as their professional careers/personal dealings become intertwined and relevant to establishing charachter and values.
Sojourner,
Have you notice how ziggy dances all over the place when he can’t argue a position.
Talk about associations, Karl Rove said yesterday that Obama is using Rovian methods to win based on the advice given to Obama by Rove. Now that’s an association!
Obama is Bush 3. Ziggy, remember Obama supporting the Bush/Cheney oil bill, while Hillary and McCain did not support it? It made the oil and energy companies billions! Now that’s some association.
If spouses are open to scrutiny, the vetting of Michelle Obama will produce even more information for the American public to vote against Obama.
I agree, Michelle Obama is a walking landmine just waiting to go off.
As far as Obama/Rove goes, Rove aside, I think it’s been pretty clear that the DNC & Obama campaign have from the start been using Republican Electioneering Tactics 101.
The change that we are told we will be able to believe in is really just more of the same. It’s the same tactics, from Alice Palmer & Chicago to Nancy Pelosi’s PAC money buying superdelegate votes for Obama in districts and states that Clinton carried (remember Pelosi’s harping about how delegates should vote in respect to their constituencies - how hypocritical).
I for one would love to know why Michelle can’t practice law in Illinois. Black people just don’t do that. Remember how star jones kept reminding people she was a lawyer. So it struck me as really really strange to find out her license is inactive.
I found that very strange as well, why would you go to Havard Law and then not be a active member of the Bar?? Is she a crook or something?? Did she get disbarred??
Cindy MCain did release her tax records.
She sure did. She got sick and tired of Obama nuts whinning about it so she released it. Yes, if you want to go there and attack Cindy, bring it on!! There is enough statements and video on Michell alone to make normal thinking people not vote for Obama because of his wife alone! You Obots are weak and whinny hypocrites, just like your chosen one. Don’t want anyone to criticize Michelle but think it alright to attach Cindy. Think again! The more you push we can push back harder! So watch it. In the words of YOUR leader, “you don’t know who you are messin’ with”
Agree. The ad is devastating because the info in it is factual and can be easily corroborated….that is unless access to the info is censored or denied….
Currently this seems to be a problem with a lot of info concerning Soterobama.
Larry is correct in concluding that Bidens foreign policy experience will not have much impact if Soterobama is vetted nationally. Soterobama is headed for political oblivion…Thanks for posting the ad. NQ Rocks.
Yeah please explain to me what has been rational about obama’s campaign. The way he refused to use publican funding, the way he said he would vote against FISA but didn’t, the way he has no executive experience and on only 3 years in the senate. There is nothing rational about this entire election. Or how about the way he has moved the dnc to Illinois, and i bet it’s really rational the way he has all of the donated money not going to the dnc but to him, is it rational that he is selling tickets to his exceptence for 1000 dollars a pop and then lies about it, or the rational way he wants to put protesters in cages.
That’s right, you just keep on repeating the rethuglican talking points and we’ll see ya in Novmeber. Hopefully by then you’ll have it all figured out. Oh and by the way it’s public financing…….GEEZ
So now you’re Conan the Grammarian. Oh, and by the way, it’s November, and we will see you there. We’ll also be saying NO to the Junior Senator, hereafter referred to as junior.
LOL!!! Gotcha Yoly…LOL! Good one, Ferdberfle!!
And KGirl, we all knew what you were saying and you made great points. Leave it to an eletist Obamabot to try and correct you….and they had to be correct….LOL! You Obots are just too funny!! LOL!!
LOL!! Gotcha Yoly!! LOL!
That was a good one, Ferbdrifle!!
And KGirl, we all knew what you were saying and you made great points!
Leave it to an elitest Obamabot to try and point out someones flaw….and get caught in their own flaws…LOL!
Get over it and yourself, Yoly, it’s just a blog……
You know KGIRL, what he said”If they come with knives, we will came with guns” so, wait and see, this democratic procedure, the new one.
Yeah please explain to me what has been rational about obama’s campaign. The way he refused to use publican funding, the way he said he would vote against FISA but didn’t, the way he has no executive experience and on only 3 years in the senate. There is nothing rational about this entire election. Or how about the way he has moved the dnc to Illinois, and i bet it’s really rational the way he has all of the donated money not going to the dnc but to him, is it rational that he is selling tickets to his exceptence speach for 1000 dollars a pop and then lies about it, or the rational way he wants to put protesters in cages. Yeah ziggy really, really rational. Sorry this is not Nazi Germany.
“The way he refused to use publican funding,”
Do you want him to use our hard earned dollars to run a campaign? He’s not tied to lobbies (not like McCondominium is), and is running his campaign primarily from donations from citizens like you and me. McCain ( as rich as he is) should be ashamed.
He is already using our hard earned dollars by living on the public trough. Give us a break by using poor logic.
Um, hello, public funding/campaign reform for a more transparent election! It would be illogical for McCain to pass on the public funding as it was legislation he worked on and is partly responsible for.
It was “progressive legislature” that the “presumably progressive” presumptive nominee passed on. He threw away a key platform Democrats had been working towards for years.
It’s changes in core values/positioning like that from his base that will contribute to his falling out of favor with the Democratic electorate.
Obama is quite familiar with the unions in chicago. In fact, he actually took money from the the teachers unions in Chicago to run for office. Never mind the fact that that these teachers make sometimes six figured salaries and refuse to teach inner city black students for a full day. Obama even gave a speech to these kids and they begged him to see about getting them a full day of a school and he did zilch so he could keep their money. therefor if you don’t think he is lining his pockets as we speak you are a fool. McCain and his wife do actually charity work, they take in orphans, obama lives in warm and toasty house that he got from looking the other way when Rezko allowed black underprivileged children to live in filthy unsafe apartments with open sewage.
McCain should be ashamed? Hmm let’s see, wife bring home 2 kids from Bangladesh so they can have life saving operations and adopts one. His wife even created a foundation that continues to perform these operations He even receives flack for this back in the 2000 election saying the daughter is the product of a affair with a black woman. Obama takes money from a slum lords who allows massive gates to fall on small children riding their tricycles and then whines like a baby when someone wants to show his connection between him and Rezko. And for ever is saying “that’s not he Rezko, Pfleger, Rev Wright I know” I think not! Public finance was created after Watergate to keep down corruption. And in Obama’s case they definitely need it, the man is as corrupt as they come.
and where are these kids by the way. the only one i ever see is the WHITE one. I guess it wouldn’t look too good to the conservative right if McCain was parading a “dark skinned” child around. You guys are so pathetic it’s not even funny anymore.
i think those kids are CHILDREN, the child you do see is an ADULT that is out because she wants to be. Do you think McCain should EXPLOIT his kids like Obama did on “Access Hollywood”??
Look, quack, you really need to prepare for those malpractice suits and stop wasting our time and yours by posting such dreck.
What we want is for him to keep his promise!! Which he seems incapable of doing…on every thing he says!!!!!!!!
I find it utterly beyond belief that Obama is financing his campain with small donations. If you believe that I have a nice bridge to sell you.
Obama is a fraud. A liar. A conman. And liberals were so eager to nominate a black man, that they overlooked it all. Obama has consistently lied when questioned about Wright, Ayers, Rezko, infanticide, etc., etc. Those are the facts. Look at how he handled Wright. From minimizing it, to “Gee…I didn’t know he said things like that”, to that ridiculous speech throwing his grandmother under the bus, to finally leaving the church! lol. The Democrats did not vet this guy. He has risen so far and so fast based on his ability to give stirring speeches and the color of his skin. How pathetic.
Obama’s entire life has been spent FAR out of the mainstream USA. That he was able to become the nominee shows you how far to the left the Democrat party has gone. That Joe Lieberman is treated as an outcast (and will speak at the GOP convention) is another sign.
It is time for the Democrats to wake up and move away from the hard left and the radicals and move more toward the mainstream/the center. Then they will be able to nominate someone who most Americans can relate to and believe in.
“Obama’s entire life has been spent FAR out of the mainstream USA.”
Yeah- and it looks like that McCondominium is right in touch with mainstream America- that is if you own so many homes that you can’t keep track of them all. He’s lived a life of luxury- and he’s got the audacity to call Obama an elitist? Rezko, Wright? Check out his pal Keating and how many elderly pensioners got screwed because McCain helped to delay the investigation into that SOB’s dealings. Better still- take a look at what they’ve got buried in Cindy’s tax returns….that is if she ever shows them. What are they hiding?
Do you have a problem with capitalism and private property ownership?
America is based on an economic system which allows people to make money based on hard work and allows people to own private property.
Is Obama against capitalism and private property ownership?
I agree with you there, Cindy McCain’s tax returns should surface for some scrutiny.
It’s all about full disclosure. Without it, a false trust is built. False trusts are too brittle to be repaired once they’ve been shattered by truths.
Why didn’t Kerry’s wife’s tax return get released?
But ….. but…..
That’s DIFFERENT!!!!!!
“Why didn’t Kerry’s wife’s tax return get released?”
I don’t know. I can totally buy into the argument that the spouse’s business/enterprises don’t need the same scrutiny provided that the two (the candidate and spouse) are distinctly separate. It’s another thing entirely when it’s a husband-wife duo whose careers and dealings are intertwined, that would require equal vetting.
I thought a while back some of Cindy’s records WERE released. Seem to remember her capitulating and having nothing to hide.
ho hum, yawn. Who cares? NEXT!
Cindy did release her tax returns. Where have you guys been. First she said it was her private business, then she said she was wrong because people were interested, and she respected that and released her tax return.
Exactly, and the reason it fell under the radar and the Obots are whinning about taxes that have been already been released and they don’t even know, is because there was nothing in it to talk about. All was clean.
Would you Obots stop drinking the Kool-Aid long enough to be informed about things that have already happened. Life is passing you by as you are drunk in the Kook-Aid……Your going to wake up in January with a hang over just in time to see McCain accept the office of POTUS!!
Gees!
Obama spent his formative years living in Indonesia, a Muslim, male dominated culture, he was a Muslim while living there. He is not “one of us”, if he went to 3rd grade in America he would know we don’t have 57 States, and he would be able to bowl. Those first years of your life teach you about everything about your culture, that is why he can’t connect, he is a outsider.
Keep repeating the Hannity talking points. It just goes to show how uninformed you really are. Pick up a book, do your own research, don’t be a stupid lemming repeating rethuglican talking points. By the way, can you tell me anything about McMansion other than he has your vote? I ask because the opposition always try to demean Sen O, but they never have anything to say about McMansion….does McMansion have policies beyond what his third Bush term dictates?
Pick up a book? You mean the part truth/part fiction book of Obama? Give me a fucking break…
“By the way, can you tell me anything about McMansion other than he has your vote?”
Funny, I was going to ask you the same thing.
“I ask because the opposition always try to demean Sen O, but they never have anything to say about McMansion…”
Likewise, you tool! It’s called an election. Both sides will always try to detract one another.
“does McMansion have policies beyond what his third Bush term dictates?”
Does Obama have any firm policies for his first term at all? Is there any topic that he hasn’t already flip-flopped on at least once? And as far as plans go, I’ve yet to see or hear much from the Obama camp on what plans they have to get the nation back on the right track. In fairness, I haven’t heard much in that respect from McCain, either.
There is only one person that came to the primaries prepared with numbers and plans and that was Hillary Clinton.
The “appeal” to the station managers isn’t so much an appeal as a thinly veiled threat of legal action under FCC rules. More thuggery brought to you by the knee-capping Chicago Machine.
Is there anyway we can appeal to the manager to get him to run it.
If you can’t handle Obama or McCain, remember there’s always Bob Barr, Ralph Nadar or Paris Hilton.
You forget Cynthia McKinney, the “No, you snarling bastard, I am not a racist” candidate.
Q. Who did you vote for?
A. The black candidate for president.
Definitely Paris. She wouldn’t be much of a president, but the inaugurations would be quite stylish. She might even be able to do something for the economy, I mean she is loaded, get a few of her financial consults in there and who knows. She probably would want to redo the flag too. I’m thinking black would make the white stars, POP more than blue, and don’t forget we need to add those eight extra stars, and should we keep the red strips or should we go for another color like mauve or hot pink?
*just joking*
KGirl, I like your style ….. that was funny…LOL!!!
I am voting for Obama and Biden,do you hate me?
Are you a tampon?
LOSERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hahahahahahahahahha
Elections not till November sweetie. Like Barry and his presidential seal, your jumping the gun.
Low information voters can’t spell either. I think you meant to say you’re. It’s okay though, once we have better schools there will be less of this type of ignorance.
I see the Obama Nazis are adding Spelling & Grammar Nazi to their list of responsibilities.
Enjoy your loss in November.
Can’t wait to send your Obamarosa back to Chicago Charm School.
Pettulence is all things 0bama, don’t you think?
I hope they have these “letter” in a form on the desk top. That will come in handy when the questions start coming out after the Denver disaster …
Are you one of the BOTS that could write your comments in spanish?? That would make Barry so proud
Comma splice in your second sentence, there, Yoli. Since we’re talking about grammar.
There you go again winning friends and influencing people…..NOT!
I wonder if you would be so disrespectful to Senator O if he was, you know, WHITE.
If he was white he wouldn’t have made it this far. The reason he has made it this far is in thanks to the Media. He is the media darling for one reason and one reason only…Barack Obama makes for a better STORY. Nothing to do with substance, experience or anything else. The media did an outstanding job of turning a presidential primary into a 50 state edition of Tiger Beat.
I do appreciate Obama’s message though, there’s just too much at stake right now. In four to eight years, after he has real congressional experience under his belt, that I could begin to contemplate his earning my vote.
Oh, boy-
The race card. Gee, Yoly-like that hasn’t been played in at least what-15 minutes? I don’t care what Obama’s color is. He is a liar, unqualified to be President and a Chicago crook. I will NEVER vote for Obama and I have voted for Democrats for 30 years. I’m voting for Nader.
If he had the same resume (thin), belief system (radical changable), and accomplishments (none) I couldn’t care if he was red headed and freckled and his name was Kennedy …
Truth? If Barry Soetoro, a youngish white candidate for President with less than a full term in national office, had been in that gallery of ten contenders in the first debates, he would have just been ignored. He’s have scored fewer votes than Dodd, Gravel, or any of the other also-rans. The only reason anyone even noticed him was because he was AA.
I don’t care if he’s purple, martian, or a woman - I still wouldn’t vote for him!
LOL these sophmoric attempts by obots really remind you of junior high doesn’t it?
If he were white we’d be more disrespectful.
Don’t call me sweetie….Only true democrats can call me sweetie and you’re no true democrat.

You do the fucking math. Nevermind. Karl Rove already did it for you.
SUCKER.
“Up to this point Barack’s team has avoided scrutiny on this issue because the media is too damn lazy to do simple investigation.” Not lazy…complicit, favoring Obama and ripping Hillary so a Republican could win. Anyone paying attention could have predicted this. Either the DNC is a ship of fools or they are in bed with the Republicans to destroy the Clintons. The fact that the DNC and Obama cabal had no intention of picking Hillary for VP says they don’t care if he wins or loses as long as Hillary in not on the ticket.
Bill destroyed the Clintons…..he is a lying, cheating womanizer and no woman that wants my respect would stay with someone so immoral. I guess birds of a feather…………..
Bill Clinton was tied with FDR as most popular President of the 20th century. So I guess most people disagree with you.
Stop the hate Yoly you cant win without us.
btw…Barry got his groove on in the back of a limo with a bowl of happy rocks and guy named Larry Sinclair. WHy is Michelle still with him?
How you feelin’ about Elizabeth Edwards there, sweetie?
So do you respect MEMEMEchelle after she stayed with a man on the DL and doing coke in the back of a limo? Stings doesn’t it?
DON’t FEED THE TROLL THEY GET UPSET WHEN YOU TAUNT THEM!
Some women take their vows of marriage seriously. They don’t divorce because times get a little tough and their spouse is caught playing cigars with an intern. While I’m not a woman who considers marriage such an important sacrament that I’d never act on divorce in certain circumstances, I don’t demean or look down on women who have decided to stand by their vows and not divorce.
I also don’t agree with infidelity. But I understand where infidelity is concerned, so much more is involved than sex and people who live exemplary lives, have successful careers, make sound decisions professionally and will return a dime if a clerk gives them too much change, do on occasion find themselves involved in an affair. If people deal with emotional dysfunction in their lives by having an affair, it’s none of my business as long as the affair doesn’t effect their professional life negatively and impact me. If a president wants to chase consenting, of age interns around the Oval Office during his free time, it’s not effecting his performance as president, it’s none of my business. If the First Lady want to divorce him - good for her, if she wants to keep her marriage - good for her too.
No Quarter is pathetic. An ex-CIA hack couldn’t jedi mind-fuck you guys any better. Larry C. Johnson has you all convinced it’s in your BEST interest, to vote AGAINST your interest. Had Obama named Hillary his running-mate, No Quarter would have crashed with a love-fest of Obama. I think Obama could match Larry C. Johnson in a bid for the CIA…he looked Hillary dead in the eye and told her she’d be on the short list. Ehhh, NOT EVEN CONSIDERED!!! What happened to the story of her $24,000,000 debt being paid off? I’ve been collecting change while on a business trip for the past 11 days. I’ve chucked away $8.63. Why don’t Larry and PUMA do the same and send it to Hillary? That would give her a $133,340,000 headstart for 2012!!!
No they don’t have time to help her retire her debt. They are so hell bent on ruining this for Sen O and the democratic party they can’t see straight. Here’s hoping reality sets in and they get it right come November.
Don’t count on it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3_jh2dO78U
This is an excellent ad and all of it is factual. Ayers is a bonafide terrorist who declared war on the US. This sick bastard set bombs off all over the country. The only good the WU did was kill 3 of their own scum while their bombs inadvertenly exploded in one of their parents townhomes in NY. Those bombs were intended to kill dozens of military personnel.
Ayers should have been executed but got off on a technicality. I find it ironic that we spend so much money and lives fighting terrorists around the world and this jackass Obama has been embracing a terrorist for 20 years. Obama has had a close friendship and working relationship with Ayers that would normally end any other politician’s career so why is Obama still in politics?
What is wrong with the backbone of the Democratic politicians who failed to step forward and denounce Obama for these radical relationships? The American people deserve better. Are these babies afraid someone will call them racists if they oppose Obama? I am waiting for someone in that party to stand up and call Obama out and refuse to support him. The rest of us who have the courage to oppose Obama get called racist everyday but we don’t fold our tents and fall in line — we know we are just being called racists by a bunch of snotnosed racists because they are afraid they may not get their way.
Where were you when Bill Clinton pardoned the Weather Underground members that were convicted?
Ayres wasn’t convicted of anything…..
Let’s ask John McMansion about the Keating 5, now that’s a real story.
Dumbass, do you even know who Ayers is? Do you know the story of how he got off? Why don’t you spend some time understanding who your crappy candidate has been mentored by. Where were you when Ayers was setting off bombs and trying to start a revolution? Probably not even born yet. Pull your head out of your ass.
Keating 5? Is that the best you can counter with, pulling out an old chestnut that carries no weight? Pathetic.
In 1969 Bill Ayers helped blow up a statue dedicated to police casualties of the 1886 Haymarket Riot. The statue was put up a second time in 1970, so they blew it up again. The statue was then put up a third time and placed under 24-hour police guard. Only pigeons have bombed it since.
Apart from symbolically blowing up a statue, the only other thing Ayers or his associates blew up was themselves. Those who were killed undoubtedly intended more. There was a lot of anger toward the government. National guardmen were shooting down unarmed student anti-war protestors on college campuses, you may recall, and government figures on the right were openly expressing their approval. It was a very turbulent time.
Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn were fugitives for years. Federal charges against them were finally dropped due to prosecutorial misconduct.
Ayers has led a productive life for nearly 30 years. He’s a Distinguished Professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, College of Education.
Yo jiggity!
I see you retained your cutting and pasteing skills from 1st grade. But obots aren’t trained and to think and form opinions, they’re trained just to follow orders.
Hey, you got another five dollars to spare while you’re waiting for that text message to come.
Stop the hate!
ziggy: Are you attempting to rewrite history or do you truly not read? Are you a propagandist? Do you really believe what you write or are you just bored with life and this is how you get your kicks?
In 1969, Ayers and his wife convened a War Council to launch a military front in the US to help Third World revolutionaries conquer and destroy America. They referred to America as “Amerikkka” and wanted to create chaos and destruction within this country.
Ayers summed up the organization’s ideology as, “Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and aprtments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents.”
In Ayers’ book Fugitive Days, he states he participated in the bombings of the New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, the Capitol building in 1971 and the Pentagon in 1972. He said that of the day he bombed the Pentagon, the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them.
Ayers said he doesn’t regret the bombs and felt they didn’t do enough.
( Source: discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=2169)
If you believe the above events are “symbolic,” you need to re-evaluate your ethics and morals and check the definition of terrorist.
In moral terms, how do you think a squad of National Guardsmen openning fire on anti-war protesters on a college campus compares with blowing up a statue?
Ayers was a radical, but they only destroyed property. That was wrong. But not as wrong as what the government they were opposing was doing.
If you were a kid then, the government could grab you, put you into uniform, and send you halfway around the world to kill people or be killed in a war to didn’t believe in. If you protested the police sometimes beat you. They sometimes tear-gassed you. They sometimes imprisoned you. Sometimes you got shot down by the National Guard.
The estimate of Vietnamese civilian dead resulting from U.S. involvement in their civil war ranges from a low of 500,000 to a high of 2,000,000. How do you define that?
You…you…you can stand up!!! Sit down clown!!! That’s the problem. You whiners are always looking for someone else to be your answer. “When is someone going to realize…blah, blah, blah.” The system is the system, until it doesn’t work in YOUR favor. Then…”we must change the system, to restore the balance”, is the chant. Hillary lost, you’re not doing anything to help her. She looked like she was about to cry today when she got the news she wasn’t even vetted. Oh, but…”I’m already vetted…by the Republicans”. She’s getting everything she wanted…catharsis, PUMA chants, a speech, Bill on the loose in Denver…what more could she want?
Little pinhead, can you type without stuttering like Obama? It must be contageous. The task of trying to restore the Democratic party will fall on the Clintons after Obama and the idiot followers screwed it up.
Get lost like a good zombie and study BLT.
It might be because she had two friends die recently.
Seriously, why come here, we aren’t going to change our vote, so really why bother with us? You vote for who you want, and so will we.
oh..I thought your name was little boner oh wait it IS!
Backtrack just thru the anti war obots under the bus.
BUT BUT BUT HILLARY VOTED FOR THE WAR/////// I DID NOT///// even though I was not in the senate during the vote.
My voters won’t know the difference so I can campaign on that phony theme.
Damn why is ok that Joe Biden voted for the war?
Wait I will think of an excuse, I am good at that.
Trolls must be upset
they are out early.
COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY ALWAYS
PUMAS,BUBBAS,THOSE PEOPLE AND HILLARY’S HARRIDANS RULE
Hey, Ayers, just in case you’re reading this:
Yeah, you got away with treason against this country, but now your buddy Plastic Jesus is going to lose, partly because of your treason.
Hillary’s not a bitch, but karma sure is.
And Ayres, why did you hide in an alley for your American Flag stomping photo shoot? Why not the corner of Chicago and Lake, isn’t there a quad at the U? Right in front of a VFW would have convinced me.
Oh wait… now I get it… you snuck into the alley BEHIND the VFW for your picture, how cool and hip are you?
Right on!!!
McCain ‘08 = Hillary ‘12!!!
“Hillary’s not a bitch, but karma sure is”…WOW!! That should be a bumper sticker!!
Awesome!!
If John Mccain pick a popular woman strong on the economy that would be great.
Also I heard democratic party registration shave been decreasing since June.
Not to go off topic, but if anyone is interested in seeing the lawsuit filed against Obama, this week in PA., go to Obama crimes.com….it is quite interesting and is exactly what we all have been saying and thinking. I think Obama is toast. Maybe this is why Biden said yes; he thinks he will be POTUS….
As far as getting away with treason, he hasn’t died peacefully in bed an old man yet. We can always hope.
Larry, I keep telling you Allison Davis, that’s his Chicago problem.
Nobama, and her comes the Republicans, they will air all Obamas dirty laundry, and all those who said Hillary had to much baggage , now as we knew what Obama represented they allowed his dirty tactics to throw democracy to the wolves, so all must go, following a word of change is not enough for me to vote for the lack of experience Obama represents and Biden, cannot help this ticket when we already know the man Obama is a empty suit, and no matter if Biden is on the ticket, even Biden does not have faith in Obamas leadership. Biden is a babysitter, and Obama is the young one who will ask what do i do? I own my vote, Nobama, I own my vote.
OBAMA SAID HE’S BEEN TO 57 STATES AND ONE TO GO
TALK ABOUT STUPID!!!!!!!
How many of these introductory ads will McCain make before he makes the one that shows the gentle citizens of this country the full color picture of Ayers stomping on our American Flag while hiding in an alley?
THE BIDENS CAUSED MOST OF THE PROBLEMS LARRY SINCLAIR
IS HAVING NOW, BEING LOCKED UP W/O BEING CHARGED WITHOUT A CRIME ETC.
Wow, isn’t that a “coincidence?”
McCain ‘08 - Hillary ‘12!!!
The thing about the Ayers ad is it’s true. That is not a swiftboat ad. I have a feeling after the conventions are over that the flood of true anti BO ads are going to hit. Here in FL I don’t know many who are behind BO. Most would rather have JM.
HRC 2012
I agree the ad is important in revealing the true Obama.
I object to the implication that “swiftboating” is somehow false or otherwise bad.
Kerry was sunk by the truth, and Obama will be as well.
Just wait till the Republicans releases an ad in Obamas own words how he would disarm America of its nukes, and with the term oil of the world and Russia, becoming more of a threat to the world, they will focus on Obama living in a fairyland, that there will be open arms awaiting the American people and radical terrorist embracing us with love and stability for the world. They will focus more on the wrong judgment to disarm and to protect the American people. Life is not a fairytale to risk so many lives on the belief that terrorist can be trusted. NObama.
You know i use to be a democrat. So it gives me no great pleasure in seeing republicans rip apart a democrat. However this was preventable and if it had to happen i can take some solice that it is happening to this so called democrat along with this bunch of crook so called democrat leadership.
PUMA
So much for open and free speech.
This ad was a no-brainer of factual content, and the DNC should have seen it coming from the beginning.
I know Im going off topic, just would like some feedback. Ive been getting email from the Obama campaign since the beginning. If the truth be told I was once a BO supporter so it originates from there. After the light dawned and I saw how great Hillary was (there was no going back of course)I decided to keep the BO email just to try and keep tabs on what the bots were being told. Today I got an invitation trying to get people to sign up for Obama Camp here in Tx. Wonder if that would be interesting and of any value in de-railing his campaign? What do you all think of going to BO camp and finding out first hand what goes on?
I think we definately need a spy in the Obumnuts camp. I don’t trust anything they do. I don’t live in TX but if I did, I would like to get together with other PUMA’s and attend. Great idea. I bet it’s stuff that goes on there that could be recorded and given to the media….well I mean FOX.
Frankly, I’ m vastly relieved that Senator Clinton is “free and clear”!
I wish Senator Biden well, but I will be voting AGAINST the ticket…can’t wait!!!
My goodness look at the Obamies calling bill a lier and a cheater and a womanizer , wow , looks to me Obama has all of these traits, mmm he flipflops on the issues that matter, he allows sexism to occur in the party without speaking against it, and his clonnies from chicago, help voter fraud in the caucuses, looks to me the Dnc has a problem with Ayers Ad is only the beghining, people are listening now and that ad will very effective. nobama ever Bill has been president , not once but twice , was it not Obama who said his terms were really not that great, and now he embrasses the fact to following Bills plans when he helped the economy and got us out of Debt, wow, Karma, if we could have had Hillary , why in the heck would we vote Obama , ??? Reliving history everyones but his own, the man has no plans its others history that he uses to repeat, wow talk about life plagerism, lets see Kennedy, Reagan, Bill, Lincoln , and Robert, how much of the history does he want to repeat others successes. Nobama
Clinton was never a consideration for VP. Regardless of what BO’s staffers say about her being researched. BO clearly does not respect women so the fact that he did not choose her should not disappoint. Im relieved that he didnt so I have absolutely no soul searching to do in voting McCain!
McCain 08
Hillary 12
The MSM thinks the “Golden Child” laid the golden egg!
Ayers has “old” money, or his carcass would have hit a jail cell!
Sooner or later, the truth will prevail!
Jerome Corsi, says Obama hangs around with radicals. I believe him… I think Obama will be a dangerous president.
Jerome Corsi is a liar and a hack who would slime his own grandmother to put a buck in his pocket. Have you forgotten all the vile bullshit he cranked out about the Clintons? Corsi has the integrity of a cockroach.
The superdelegates still need to do there jobs.Biden needs to be voted in as vp and Obama also..
Clinton still holds her delegates.
http://larrysinclairbarackobama.com/
So now I still ask why was Biden’s name brought up in the arrest of Larry Sinclair after the news Conference. The Sinclair story might have problems. Yet it does seem weird that it was Biden’s state that issued an arrest warrant when Sinclair had no warrants outstanding in Delaware.
This is going to be a Very interesting election—Oh what a mess the DNC has created by not vetting Obama……Just too many questions open and not answered.
For those Hillary supporters who thought she might become vp welcome to Ohuhbama nation. She was never even considered. Hillary is my choice for president but even if she was on the ticket I never would have voted for Ohuhbama. Now puma is really going to pick up steam and Hillary will be president in 2012. I don’t have any illusions about her winning at the corrupt convention in Denver. McCain 08,Hillary 12, God speed. The dems will have 4 years to clean up the Ohuhbama,Dean and Pelosi dirt bags.
So can we knock him out of advertising since he does not have a U.S. birth certificate that is valid, Senator Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barrack Hussein Obama?
So, the first amendment of free speech and press does not apply and they have to have a EIN from IRS and other requirements to add press?
What an idiot campaign.
I want to alert everyone of a very good piece in the (conservative) American Thinker (via RCP)

Bill & Barack’s Excellent Adventure
By Thomas Lifson
http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/08/bill_baracks_excellent_adventu.html
(BTW it acknowledges Steve Diamond’s excellent work!!).
I also read yesterday on FoxNews that UIC will grant access to the files. I am sure they will not do anything before or while the DNC convention. That’s really too bad…
Oh great! We are reduced to references from the conservative American Think and Faux Noise. That says it all.
I am amazed at how many front page screen shots on this blog are videos or comments from Faux Noise. Scraping the bottom of the barrell…
It’s hard to understand why Ayers didn’t go to prison. If I recall his wife got some favorable plea deal also. Wonder if someone who writes blog for No Quarter could educate us on how they got away with this? For example could it related to his father’s wealth and political ties? And how the heck did they get hired by the Universities they work for and be let anyone close to our young people? And how did they get approved to adopt the son of one of their Weather Underground buddies (who went to jail)? Why weren’t we protected by our government better from reputed terrorists because his legacy since he’s been free seems dangerous for democracy, our education system and our children?
This is a post 9/11 world. The republicans have been saying that. So given this is the case, will the American public be more concerned about an unrepentant domestic terrorist or the Keating 5?
Since the economy is the issue again in this election, will the American public be more concerned about Rezko leaving the poor children and elderly in Chicago without heat or the Keating 5?
Given international issues and the problems occurring..Is it going to be Obama’s 4 successive statements on the Russia/Georgia crisis or the Keating 5?
Considering urban gang violence is out of control with random murders of innocent people..Obama voted against increased penalties for gang related violence since it would “unfairly target minorities”..excuse me Senator, but is where the crimes are occurring and minorities are usually the victims of random drive by shootings, ..or the Keating 5?
If one has never seen the docu on the Weather Underground, you must.
I was born in 74, so in Ayers being a terrorist was sort of an abstract thing for me to know.
Having seen this video, it’s clear how evil these poeple were. Please watch it
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1847524043861152897&ei=RTWwSOjCFImM_AHkrumEDQ&q=weather+underground&hl=en
even the first thee minutes will be enough to be totally repulsed
Does anyone know where this ad is up and running? Is it actually being run in markets, or just on the cable TV loop?
You know, I’ve been thinking, since Bill Ayers is such a distinguished educator from an influential family, and since he and Obama have worked so closely on important education efforts such as the Annenberg Challenge, wouldn’t Bill Ayers be a good candidate for Secretary of Education under an Obama administration? We could programatically teach our children to use Ayers as an example of how to behave. A great idea, what do Obama supporters think?
Retired; The poster, PGHGal, just below answers your question as to “what do Obama supporters think”…
They have eyeballs to see only in the anatomical sense.
The Hill Abduction- OR said another way…”Dean’s 50 state strategy”
http://www.ufoevidence.org/documents/doc357.htm
At least BO and Biden have one thing in common…They both say “ummmm” a whole bunch.
Larry, you have ZERO credibility. For weeks we heard about the WHITEY tape with promises of evidence every day. Then, it was the BIRTH CERTIFICATE, which was thoroughly debunked at Factcheck.org http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/born_in_the_usa.html.
Stop! This is getting embarrassing, not just for you, but your kool aid drinking followers on this site.
Gal…you are so indoctrinated you don’t know who owns factcheck.org. Yup, your in a loop of information, each segment protecting the other segment.
Now go away and try to come up with some better taunts.
Obama Indoctrination Talking Point #7:
“And if they call you Kool-Aid Drinkers, here’s what to do: Call THEM Kook-Aid Drinkers right back! This lets them know in very clear terms that you are intellectually more mature.”
You’re a Kool-Aid drinker.
Uh-uhhhhhhh! YOU’RE a Kool-Aid drinker!!
See how mature it makes you sound?
“Then, it was the BIRTH CERTIFICATE, which was thoroughly debunked at Factcheck.org”
Um, I wouldn’t go hearlding Factcheck.org as the end-all be-all in respect to “credibility”, especially seeing as how it is owned by the Annenberg PPC, of which Obama worked for and is yet another connection to terrorist Bill Ayers.
He can’t quash the Ayers ad because it’ the truth.
It’s not a smear if it’s the truth.
Please say a few kind words to the Tubbs Jones family

I hope you all get the shits
That was really good!
Now roll around on the floor and bang your feet and fists around and cry “I want my Barry!”
After you wear your dumb ass out, go take a nap. I’ll ask mommy to make you some warm milk…
dumbasses
I’m thinking getting “kids” involved in politics was a mistake. They demonstrate time after time why only adults get to vote.
They can’t write songs. They can’t pick a Presidential candidate. That’s all there is to it.
The kids weren’t the ones who totally screwed things up, were they? They’re not the ones who run up the debts and start the wars and tell the lies and pass on the hatreds from generation to generation. Young people often see straight to the root of a thing. They see what’s totally obvious. Older people have learned how to hide the truth, even from themselves. Young people know instinctively, for example, that the men who make wars that kill children are evil. Older people seldom think about what war actually means. They have reasons, explanations, rationalizations, moral justifications. They compartmentalize, allowing them to ignore the disturbing fact that being at war is now America’s normal state of affairs. Times of peace have become the exceptions.
Well, I tell ya what there asswipe… you go roll over on your back and kick you legs in the air and pray the dogs of war don’t eat your balls, but I think I’ll elect a president who will keeps those dogs where they belong… in someone else’s yard.
I despise wussy little cowards like you…
Its gutless shits like you who have allowed the advent of every worthless despot in the history of the world.
You are horribly undeserving of the freedom you have…
I’ve been to war, you dumbass twit peckerwood. My guess is the closest you ever got was a movie theater or sitting on your fat lard ass with your PlayStation.
Like all those afflicted with Right Wing Authoritarian personality tendencies, however, you glorify the concept.
How can we capture BinLaden if we keep sheltering the Ayers? I think he is more dangerous then the outside terrorists. He is here under our nose. Can anybody guaranty, he won’t repeat his ” bombing” again? Maybe Barry Soetoro will help him to do so. Keep the picture of him in fron of your eyes, when the American anthem was playing.That was the first thing, that revolted me against him.
President Obama is going to appoint Ayers as Secretary of Education. School kids will be standing on the flag instead of pledging allegiance to it. And grabbing your crotch will become the new salute during the National Anthem, replacing putting your hand over your heart. That is the change that Obama supporters are hoping for.
I’ve always wondered why some crazy John Birch’er never put him away.

Anyone who thinks Hillary “standing by her man” wasn’t 100% pure political calculation is delusional.
I’m not a fan of her at all, but would have had some real respect for her if she’d dropped papers on him once he was out of office.
I’m a libertarian-conservative who’s not keen on McCain, but absolutely voting for him. However I’ve been saying for nearly for a years that, if a Dem had to win, better Hillary than Obama because a)she does possess a certain real toughness, b) we know what her views really are (and know enough to know when she’s blowing smoke), c) like Bill, those perhaps less naturally, she’d be willing to cut deals if only for triangulating purposes and d)where there was real disagreement she could be more forthrightly opposed by Repubs in Congress, where with Obama any opposition will be dismissd as racist.

“Safely Nominated”…..Sounds like they don’t want to drop the atomic bomb before the Dems convention. LOL Sounds like if they did Hillary would be the nominee. I can hear the “I told you so’s” from Hillary already! LOL Its delicious.
what a think tank this place is:
“if we cannot win the election on the issues because we screwed up the economy, let Bin Laden go free, murdered thousands of innocent people all over the world, illegally invaded a sovereign nation, tortured innocent people, and since our candidate is 100% un-inspiring - lets try and make up stories about the inspiring candidate.”
in the words of your hero - “Get a life”. What is the conclusion of your scare tactic - do you really believe that Obama is running for president so he can bomb the White House ?
Vote for change- take a risk, you’ll feel better.
has anybody bothered to understand why ayers and his group did the things they did? I’m not at condoning it, but does anybody remember the Vietnam war and the BS our government did?
