		<description>Besides the astroturfing of the Palin smear and the prior &quot;1984&quot; one, the viral story about &quot;the war room&quot; edited falsely to include slurs against Indiana during that primary was a nasty tactic.

The original film had nothing of the sort and the story spread all over by that time.  The correction came from the original director, but the type of damage done by those smears is certain. 

We saw the networks astroturfing the &quot;Hillary already dropped out&quot; story ALL DAY LONG on more than one primary day.  Her office issued statements to say she did not drop out and will not but they were still reporting it with scrolling headlines on all the news channels.  Voter suppression by the MSM was one of the many things that infuriated me this year.

I wrote and called the networks airing the lies on those days and told them they were hideous and that we would not forget they tampered with an election.

They were given astroturf by the ob campaign and they shockingly aided and abetted the thugs.

Never forget, hold them responsible.</description>

		<description>I swear, the conservatives sending out that email haven&#039;t even read the book.  Because had they read the book, they&#039;d know that there are much better, juicy anti-white and anti-American quotes in there.

Like how his namesake (Hussein Obama, grandpa in Africa) disapproved of Barack Sr. and Stanley Ann&#039;s marriage because he &quot;didn&#039;t want a white woman sullying Obama blood&quot;.  Obama didn&#039;t bat an eye after his mother told him that, yet Obama goes on for three pages about black self esteem after telling the story of a woman &quot;friend&quot; of his who dared wear blue eye contacts (she was black).  It was his friggin&#039; blue eyed devils moment, people.

Not to mention the part of the book where he writes down part of Jeremiah Wright&#039;s &quot;Audacity of Hope&quot; sermon where Wright SAYS that black people are suffering in a world of &quot;white folk&#039;s greed&quot;.  Which would put a complete cap on any of Obama&#039;s stupid &quot;I didn&#039;t know he was racist!  I didn&#039;t hear him say anything against white people!&quot; bullllshit.</description>

		<description>Let me get this straight ... For the past four months Barack Obama has been ducking John McCain after promising to debate him &quot;any time, anywhere&quot;.

So, now it&#039;s McCain that&#039;s all of a sudden afraid to debate Obama?

Nice try, sugar, but no dice. McCain is simply discharging his respoisibilities as an elected Senator and putting his duties as the leader of one of the nation&#039;s two major political parties ahead of his own personal interests.

Simply put, it&#039;s called &quot;character.&quot; If you had any of your own, you&#039;d understand that.</description>

		<description>Anyone seen the latest PAC smear of McCain? The one that shows McCain&#039;s face after melanoma surgery with snips of doctors implying that McCain is dying of cancer. Guess who is credited with the ad? Robert Greenwald and JAMES DEAN, THE BROTHER OF HOWARD DEAN. Tell me that is not a coincidence.</description>

		<description>I just received a couple of nasty emails because I was complaining, on my blog,about how vile we (Democrats) have become. A commenter posted that we had to fight fire with fire and I responded that the citizens of Los Alamos might see that differently as would any people like me who live deep in the forest. If you fight fire with fire, you run the risk of burning everything down. I want my party back near the high road at least. We have lost elections not because we weren&#039;t dirty enough but because we picked positions that the majority of the people don&#039;t support. You can get people to support you even if they don&#039;t agree with you if you demonstrate you have &lt;strong&gt;PRINCIPLES&lt;/strong&gt;. (Puma anyone?)

The Democratic Party&#039;s principles now seem to be just like the neocons. We will say or do anything if we think it will get us elected.

And that is a losing position.</description>

		<description>http://www.kmov.com/video/index.html?nvid=285793&amp;shu=1

In Missouri, the Obama campaign have enlisted state officials and law enforcement to &quot;target&quot; people who air false and misleading ads.

I don&#039;t see how he can make such a request, and I don&#039;t see why they would be willing to comply.  

Are they also planning to &quot;target&quot; the false and misleading ads that are ran against McCain/Palin?

This is just so much more BS.</description>

		<description>Somewhat OT but please look at this. It&#039;s the Amazon page for a very good book on what&#039;s happening in America.

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/dp/1416598065&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Amazon: The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Now I don&#039;t ask you to agree with the author (or me). And I don&#039;t ask you to disagree either. But what I &lt;b&gt;do&lt;/b&gt; ask you to do is check the &lt;i&gt;responses&lt;/i&gt;. After a glowing (or at least positive) review by Amazon we drop down to the mosh pit. 458 people have rated the book 5 stars; 669 have rated it the lowest possible, 1 star. Almost no one rates the book in between, 2-4 stars. Talk about polarized - and it&#039;s highly suspect. To me that&#039;s a lot of interest in a book I suspect most of them haven&#039;t read.

Now let&#039;s look at the tag words these people have associated with the book.
&lt;blockquote&gt;lies (479)
propaganda (450)
idiocy (323)
racism (312)
typical republican smear campaign (273)
truth (228)
political truth (196)
obama (192)
obama truths (190)
wingnut welfare (132)
corsi needs a corset (97)&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Astroturfing, anyone?</description>

		<description>You mean McCain, the war hero who survived 5 years of torture is AFRAID OF OBAMA?! LOL! You bots are unbelievably deluded. 

Remind me again: WHO was the candidate who refused the invitation to do Town Halls all over the country because he can&#039;t function without a script and a teleprompter?

You embarrass yourself.</description>
