Barack "The Silencer" Obama's Gangland Assault on Free Speech

Do you feel the leaked information from a global warming alarmist organization is meaningful?



Where are all the free speech absolutists when you need them? Over the past month, left-wing partisans and Democratic lawyers have waged a brass-knuckled intimidation campaign against GOP donors, TV and radio stations, and even an investigative journalist because they have all dared to question the radical cult of Barack Obama. A chill wind blows, but where the valiant protectors of political dissent are, nobody knows.

On August 11, I called the American Civil Liberties Union national headquarters in New York for comment about the Chicago gangland tactics of one of these groups -- a nonprofit called "Accountable America" that is spearheaded by a former operative of the Obama-endorsing MoveOn outfit.

"Accountable America" is trolling campaign finance databases and targeting conservative donors with "warning" letters in a thuggish attempt to depress Republican fundraising. (You'll be interested to know that the official registered agent of Accountable America is Laurence Gold, a high-powered attorney for the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) who has testified before the Senate complaining about the use of campaign finance laws to stifle the speech of union workers -- a pet cause of the ACLU.)

The ACLU press office failed to respond to my initial call. On August 13, I followed up through e-mail:

"I called on Monday requesting a statement from the ACLU about Accountable America's intimidation campaign against GOP donors. What is the ACLU's position with regard to such efforts? Waiting for your statement..."

ACLU press officer Pamela Bradshaw e-mailed back:

"Michelle, My apologies that I cannot be of more assistance, but we don't have anyone available. Thanks, Pam."

My reply: "Pam -- Does this mean you don't have anyone available today, this week, or for the foreseeable future?"

On August 20, after a week of silence, I forwarded the message again to the ACLU press office. No response.

So, I won't bother asking the ACLU's opinion of the latest wave of speech-squelching moves by the Obama campaign:

On Monday, Obama demanded that the Justice Department stop TV stations from airing a documented, accurate independent ad spotlighting Obama's longtime working relationship with unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers. Obama summoned his followers to bombard stations, many of them owned by conservative-leaning Sinclair Communications, with 93,000 e-mails to squelch the commercial.

On Tuesday, the Obama campaign sent another letter to the Justice Department demanding investigation and prosecution of American Issues Project, the group that produced the Ayers ad, as well as Dallas billionaire Harold Simmons, who funded it.

And on Wednesday, Obama exhorted his followers to sabotage the WGN radio show of veteran Chicago host and University of Chicago Professor Milt Rosenberg. Why? Because he invited National Review writer Stanley Kurtz to discuss his investigative findings about Obama's ties to Ayers and the underwhelming results of their collaboration on a left-wing educational project sponsored by the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. The "Obama Action Wire" supplied Rosenberg's call-in line and talking points like this:

"Tell WGN that by providing Kurtz with airtime, they are legitimizing baseless attacks from a smear-merchant and lowering the standards of political discourse. ... It is absolutely unacceptable that WGN would give a slimy character assassin like Kurtz time for his divisive, destructive ranting on our public airwaves."

Behind the glowing, peaceful facade lies Barack "The Silencer" Obama and his silent enablers on the left. While mainstream journalists schmoozed with liberal celebrities in Denver, practiced yoga with left-wing bloggers and received massages at the Google convention tent near touchy-feely Barackopolis, Team Obama was on an ugly, aggressive warpath sanctioned by Mr. Civility. While compassionate Obama prepared to stand before thousands of worshipers at Invesco Field, purporting to give voice to the voiceless, his Chicago-schooled campaign machine was working overtime to muzzle conservative critics. "We want it to stop," ordered one pro-Obama caller to WGN.

Welcome to the future: the politics of Hope and Change enforced by the missionaries of Search and Destroy.

Apparently you lack the ability understand what the point of the article is.

This isn't about political campaigning. It is about the belief of Senator Obama that there are two kinds of "free speech." Things he believes in and values should be protected, those that he does not agree with; should not.

It is a simple thing. It is rooted in his true beliefs; they have more in common with Karl Marx than they do with Thomas Jefferson.

What America the lazy has to do; is some home-work. Find out what Obama has actually done besides write a couple books and hang out with Oprah.

His only paying jobs have been in the aid of advancing the objectives of Saul Alinksy.

Saul Alinsky was a Marxist. So is William Ayers. What do you think that makes Obama? He's never worked in his entire life. He has studiously avoided it. He has never met a payroll, he has never taken a risk. He has never done anything but hang around with other Marxists, smoked dope and plotted the over-throw of the American government by insidious and deceptive means.

He isn't nothing more than a nice looking guy in a good suit with the ability to make a good speech.

He is abysmal at answering simple questions, because he has to think about how his answer will fit in first with what the public will think of him, and second how it will keep his true agenda under wraps.

Free speech is for everyone. Not just who agree with Obama or any of his left-wing ideologues.

He and the current leadership of the Democratic Party have thrown aside the true ideals of real liberals. They are closer to the ideals of Karl Marx, Chairman Mao, Nicholi Lenin than they have ever been to those of John and Bobby Kennedy.

Cheers,

John McCain did not "start" the Forrestal fire. He was sitting in a fully armed airplane when a missile from another plane, ignited by the exhaust of a plane pulling vehicle, fired off and struck McCain's plane in the fuel tank. He was lucky he got out of it alive. All the video of the flight ops that day show it...

Frightening
The uncivil left is terrifying

Obama: America's Putin
Obama's attempt to criminalize the exercise of free speech is very revealing. And oh-so-reminiscent of another regime.

In the last few years, Russian journalists critical of Vladimir Putin have ended up dead. Assassination by gunshot-disguised-as-street-crime is the preferred modus operandi of KGB's spawn. In case the message was unclear, Putin's killers have not been averse to more exotic killing technology designed to prolong human suffering. Such was the fate of Alexander Litvinenko, who died of polonium poisoning after criticizing Putin.

I am not equating Obama to Putin. I am, however, making a valid comparison. It must be acknowledged that Obama, who has now shown a willingness to orchestrate the possible imprisonment of his critics, is not fundamentally different from ex-KGB thug Vladimir Putin. Suppression of the opposition's voice is a hallmark of totalitarianism. That dark world is one in which Obama seems disturbingly comfortable.

Thanks Michelle for reporting on this story.

Free Speech
Maybe this is what Obama means by change. Doing away with free speech

Reasoning;
1. Compare Palin with Pelosi. Does Palin sound arrogant? Dictatorial? Or does she sound honest, speaking from what is embedded within her? "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speak." I don't believe she'd collect a bunch of "lap dogs," licking her boots.
2. Obama has picked at McCain's LONG 26 YEARS
in the Senate. Is he unaware of Biden's 30+ years there? LOL.
3. She has enough sense to say no to a multimillion $ bridge to nowhere, and yet says YES to drilling in ANWR, both of which is in HER territory. She understands that wildwife and oil rigs CAN co-inhabit.
4. I firmly believe ANY 'change' in DC will have to come from OUTSIDE THE LOOP, and that is SURELY in OUR favor!
I think she'd make a great President, if God
forbid, anything were to happen to McCain. I
feel more secure than if Biden were to follow
Obama, should anything happen to him.
I read once, of some VERY important person
(can't remember his name) who said that the most IMPORTANT asset he had was being able to pick the right people to which he could delegate authority. I think McCain and Palin
both have that asset.

The freedom loving left?
The 1st Amendment right to free speech is all fine and well for the liberal left, unless of course it disagrees with their warped views. Host a radio show or write a column that talks about and aspouses conservatism? Well, that's just unacceptable. We've got to pass the fairness doctine against you to shut you up and get you off the air. I love how the liberal left accuses the right of being "fascists" when they're the ones who are willing to employ Stalinist tactics to get people to "come around" to their way of thinking. Enter ACLU (the Aging Communist Leftover Union).

Scary!
This man is nothing but scary. I wonder whether his thugs will be breathing down our necks when we pull the lever or mark the ballot or whatever mean we use to vote.

Obama is not used to having any opposition to his candidacy (look at what he did in Illinois) and he simply cannot handle it. He's an immature person who is still struggling to find his true idenity, full of narcissism and self-aggrandizement because he simply does not like himself and this is the public means he uses to hide his confusion.

Not ready to lead?

Not by a long shot...

Ditto Carolyn in Ms
ACORN is where Obama got his early Marxist and Fraudulent Experience. Bill Ayers, the Terrorist, was involved in that early training of Obama in Marxist and Criminal activities. Remember the Marxist Doctrine says, "By Whatever Means Necessary to Get the Desired Results of Power and to Topple The Existing Government or Other Authority." Fraud, Deceit and Criminal Activity is not only acceptable, but are the key tools used by Marxists. You have to instill fear and hatred of the establishment.

Look at the entire Obama campaign so far. They and the MSM are trying to Stir Up Hate and Loathing for Our President and other leaders.

Obama learned his Methods from Terrorist Bill Ayers, rev. Wright, and others. Now, he has the Mainstream Media, promoting this same hatred and encouraging fear and hate.

ACORN is and has always been about promoting Marxism, and uses the tactics of Fraud, Deceit and Criminal Activities. Their aim was to get
their Candidates into Seats of Power. They, the Marxists and ACORN, got Obama, their Puppet elected to the Illinois State Senate, and then on to Washington as a U.S. Senator, and now they are Trying to Sell Him as President with the Same Old Marxist Tactics.

Well, These Marxists did not realize that Their Ignorant speeches and Tactics will Not Work On People Who Know Better.

We are sending Obama and His Marxist Mentors and Backers a message on Nov. 4. Go Home Obama. Chicagos Criminal Government needs you. We, the people of America, do not.

Reply to Impeachbush, et.al. (#2)
Liberal Democrats, heal yourselves. Take Responsibility for Your Lives and Stop Playing The Blame Game of Victimhood.



Impeachbush and his ilk all think alike, and suffer from the same things as Obama: Ignorance and Arrogance. Ignorance and Arrogance is dangerous and can be deadly.

They blindly question everybody else's credentials, etc. and never examine themselves.

As an addiction therapist, I encounter folks in denial everyday. When confronted with their problems, they seldom see that they Are The Problem. They quickly and almost always start making excuses, and pointing the Finger Of Blame, for their own irresponsible behaviors and failures in life.

In order for them to ever start Recovering their lives, it is my task to get them to Stop Playing The Blame Game, and begin Looking at themselves, and Their Faulty Thinking, Their Negative Attitudes, and The Associated Negative Feelings and Behaviors that follow Faulty and Negative Thinking.

Liberal Democrats, for the most part, are like the Addicts. They blame others and point fingers, but never take a look at their Own Faults, Faulty Thinking and Negative Behaviors, and Refuse To Be Honest With Themselves or Others.

Healing the Liberal Democrat Thinking, will Require that They Begin To Take Responsibilty for Their Own Failures, and Stop Pointing the Finger at Somebody Else. They have To End Victimhood. This Mentality is Totally Debilitating for the Person who holds onto it.

Democrats, heal yourselves. Be Honest. Open Your Minds. Then, Get To Work on Changing Your Faulty Thinking that Leads to Negative Attitudes, Feelings and Behaviors. Take Your Lives Back. Try it, it works, if You Do The Work. Liberalism is a mental illness, and we do not want or need a Mentally Ill Narcissist such as Obama as President. This disease of Arrognace, Ignorance, coupled with Narcissism is a very Dangerous Combination for a person in a position of power.

Barack the Silencer
This is one man to seriously be afraid of. He
was (is still?) active with ACORN. ACORN has a repeated, long history of voter registration fraud. (use your search engine to look up ACORN employee voter registraton fraud)(also CSI, ACORN tied). In one county, 75,000 voter registrations are being examined because of voter registration fraud, with a binder of evidence an inch thick. This is a serious matter, which the
Board Chmn said, "goes to the essence of our
democracy." How VERY true.
Now, his camp WARNS TV STATIONS NOT TO SHOW a video ad by a non-profit, non-campaign paid group. My local TV station manager doesn't even know about it. Why should she..the MSM sure hasn't run it. But it essentially is warning TV Stations, so is that not an attempt to GAG free speech? free press (MSM?)

Reply to Impeachbush, et.al.
Ignorance and Arrogance are a dangerous combination. That is why Obama is so dangerous.

As an addiction therapist, I encounter folks in denial everyday. When confronted with their problems and the reasons they continue to self destruct with the use of alcohol, drugs, and other detructive behaviors, they seldom see that they Are The Problem. They quickly and almost always start making excuses, and pointing the Finger Of Blame, for their own irresponsible behaviors and failures in life.

In order for them to ever start Recovering their lives, it is my task to get them to Stop Playing The Blame Game, and begin Looking at themselves, and Their Faulty Thinking, Their Negative Attitudes, and The Associated Negative Feelings and Behaviors that follow Faulty and Negative Thinking. Then, as they begin to stop blaming others, and take a look at themselves, and become Honest With Themselves and Others, Become Open Minded and Begin to Listen and Learn and then To Actually put into practice some Ideas about Changing Themselves, they begin to Recover their lives, and Stop Drinking and/or Using Drugs, or cease with other Self Destructive Behaviors. Then, they begin to have Real Power in their lives and become Free of their Addictions, because they have learned that they can Live Life on Life's terms, and do not run from the Responsibilities that life presents, just like everybody else has to do when living responsibly.

Liberal Democrats, for the most part, are like the Addicts. They blame others and point fingers, but never take a look at their Own Faults, Faulty Thinking and Negative Behaviors, and Refuse To Be Honest With Themselves or Others.



Ditto Older And Wiser for it
It is odd that Liberals and especially Liberal Women are so angry and hostile. Their views are truly strange, as it is of the left, generally.

They all in Unison Support and in fact, encourage Promiscuity among our youth, who then become pregnant and/or get Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and then they Come to the rescue, and encourage Abortions, and Free Government Health Care to treat their Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and of course, the government knows best, so these treatments for pregnant children can all be done without parental knowledged or consent. Government Becomes The Parental Authority. This is Communism.

This has been the Liberal Democrat Model since the 1960's. Create Victims with Government Programs, then Rescue The Victims from Victimhood with other Government Sponsored Programs.

Then, these same Abortion Advocates fund Abortions with Public Funds, and then Get Out and Demonstrate Against Capital Punishment for Child Rapists and Murderers.

This insane philosophy is truly the mark of Evil. How can you justify the murder of Unborn Children, and at the same time, Cry for Justice and Leniency for Murderers and Rapists of children and others when they are about to pay for their crimes with their lives.

Conservatives value the lives of babies more than the lives of rapists and murderers.

And, these Liberals, believe that Terrorists being held by our government, have the same rights as a United States Citizen.

It is no wonder the Liberal Democrate Women and others are so bitter. They have Split-Personalities, and are truly confused all the time.

Older and Wiser for It
Not to mention,they are not filled with pure hatred for the opposition.

Weeping & Gnashing of Teeth . . .

can be heard all over NObamaland tonight! The Old Wolf and his sleek, smart running mate have ripped the throat out of NObama's empty rhetoric and even emptier promises.

And I'm pleased to see, once again, that conservative women are SO much more attractive, physically, intellectually, spiritually, and socially, than any of the harpies of the left who would eat their own children.

Sarah Palin
Not only was it a bit of genius of the RNC to pick Palin,to do it today,was priceless. All the press were just fawning over the spectacle put on last night. Then the McCain news just knocked them for a loop!!

They have brought out every old lefty fossil who can talk to try to make Palin look bad.They say she has no experience !! But Obama has!!They are visibly worried and will do their dead level best to tear her down. I din't think it'll work,though.

Dylan Sprouse
Don't sweat Wobbie! His Shoe size and his IQ are comparable.

The NObama Fascist
He knows exactly what he's doing. The smiley faced fascist has come to town. And his kind been here abouts for a long time. These scare tactics have come right from the dictator handbook. Hugo Chavez just wouldn't have hidden it so much.

Obama's not even black
Obama's mother is white. Everyone knows that. But what few people know is that a story that is circulating the web says that only one Obama's father's great-grandparents was black. The other 7 were arab, which is genetically a caucasion (white) race.

So we have a guy who is 1/16th black claiming to be a victim of racism when in fact he is a beneficiary of Affirmative Action instead.

Blacks are a little over 12% of the population. That means the American population is twice as black as Obama.

The idiot shows his @ss again
impeachbush writes:

"Less than two years of "executive experience" is enough to be the VP/President of the U.S.A.?"

Right. So by your logic we should avoid electing a woman with less than two years executive experience VP by electing a man with NO executive experience President. This is how liberals think. You only apply your 'logic' to one side of any discussion. It never occurs to you morons that your own arguments disqualify your own candidates far more than they disqualify ours.

Your are an idiot and a fool.

DNC's Most Wanted Update
DNC'S Most Wanted Update
And, I left out Obama's Mentor, Bill Ayers, convicted Domestic Terrorist, whose specialty was blowing up federal and other buildings that represented "the White Man's Establishments."

Maybe, Obama, had him stay home in Chicago, where he now teaches Marxist Economics at a Chicago, Illinois University. Wouldn't want old Bill to get antsy and blow anything up, now would we??


DNC's Most Wanted
The DNC convention in Denver looked like America's Most Wanted. I would not be surprised to see some of these faces on John Walsh's program.

You had Don Siegleman, former governor of Alabama, fresh out of Federal Prison on Bond For Taking Bribes and Racketeering charges while governor of Alabama. Wonder how many strings his Liberal Democrat Buddies in Congress and the Justice Department pulled to get him a bond set from the 11th Circuit Court Of Appeals, while he awaits a new trial. He gave a speech at the convention, and I am sure was seated as A Super Delegate.

Then, you had that Scoundrel, Mayor Negan, of New Orleans who is under investigation, and soon to be indicted for Fraud, Theft, and Corruption in ripping off millions of dollars of FEMA money intended to rebuild devastated neighborhoods in his beloved "Chocolate City." (Negan's term, not mine, so don't none of you Libs out there jump the gun and try playing the tired old Race Card on me.)

Then, you had the Mayor of Detroit, who is out of jail on bond for Assault. I am sure the list is larger than this, but my 2000 characters is coming close to an end. And, how about Marion Crackhead Barry, mayor of Our Nations Capital City. What a Party. And the DNC had Denver Suspend Drug Laws During the Convention. They knew that Most of their Party Out there were a bunch of Druggies. Would not want their Super Delegates to be arrested on Drug Charges, no would we??

ACLU out of action
Texas Fast Draw thinks their sarcasm is witty and truely does display the bush league politics often espoused by liberals. They can't carry McCain's water and they know it.

Georgetwin
Was Hal having an annual checkup or an anal checkup?

Dirty Tricks? Oh My
I couldn't agree more, Michelle. Democrats need to learn how to run a clean cut campaign just like the Republicans. At least the Rove rumor that McCain fathered an illegitimate black child isn't in circulation anymore. What a doozy! Corsi has already documented that Obama is a revolutionary and a Muslim. It is inexcusable that the ACLU would keep good Republicans from spreading the word. I cannot imagine why the Obama campaign would be inclined to fight back.

Dylan Sprouse, just an old
lady here, but had to let you know that you are a very impressive young man. I had to google your name to find out who you are.

Welcome to TH!

Welcome to 1984, Obama style.

impeachbush
Are you really as big a fool as you appear to be?

Palin has more experience in her years as City Council, Mayor, and Governor than Obama ever had!! She has accomplished more in two years as governor than Obama has as state senator and Senator combined!

You are talking about VP experience when your OWN candidate doesn't have enough experience to be President!

And Biden as VP pick absolutely kills that change message.

Excuse me while I go buy stock in Tinactin as the Biden gaffe machine gets rolling.

Barack "Hitler" obama
Just as Hitler did with his brown boot thugs so do obama and his slimey, treasonous, creeps.

NO OSAMA!!
NO OBAMA!!

I'd vote for them too
If I was old enough. But my parents have said they'll be voting for McCain/Palin for sure now.

WE must get the truth out on Obama. This big eared buffon only wants things his way.As long as his flock does the smearing it's great but let the truth come out,the weasel wants to shut things down.

I will be ...
ENTHUSIASTICALLY voting FOR the McCain/Palin ticket!

She has given people real HOPE for real CHANGE in the way things get done in Washington!

Georgetwin, Thanks
Sorry it took so long to ahswer you but I've been reading the rest of the thread.

I can tell you for a fact that Ranger Robbie doesn't like me or my show since he tried to call me "Stupid" and "a child" and I showed him up by letting him know who I am.

Can you say JEALOUS??

Dylan Sprouse
My Error! Honestly the youth are surprising me. On a DAILY basis, Rush and/or Hannity have calls from 14-18 year olds saying what a LOSER Obama is. Maybe I should’ve said 20 year olds, because it is The College Crowd that is almost COMPLETELY Lockstep with Obama. BTW, my stepdaughter LOVES your show!

GunnyG
EMINENTLY FAIR! Thank You!

Hey there Georgetwin
Let's be careful with what we say about 15 year olds. We're not all brainless lib trolls typing from mom's basement.

Georgetwin
"OTOH, if he comes back healthy, I will be among the first to LIGHT HIM UP!"

I'll compromise.

I'll think nice thoughts about him! Naturally, I don't wish ill on anyone but the most traitorous of liberal criminal.

And as you, if he comes back healthy, the cannons will be loaded! haha.

Dr. Who
I suspect it was a problem because he just wasn’t HIMSELF yesterday. Check Coulter between 3-5 PM and see what YOU think! I might be completely off, but that was my GUT feeling!

GunnyG
That is your choice and I WILL NOT hold it against you should you decide not to. Where I am coming from is seeing how HARD it was on Mom & us kids losing Dad & how I felt when I lost my grandfather. He is Husband, Father and Grandfather to them, no more and no less. OTOH, if he comes back healthy, I will be among the first to LIGHT HIM UP!

Georgetwin
"Hal mentioned he was in for a Colonoscopy and he HONESTLY sounded a little spooked about it."

Was it for an annual check up or are they checking a problem out?

Georgetwin
"Could you mention it on your blog and ask folks to pray for Hal?"

I'll think about it and it speaks volumes about you that you would consider asking me that. Kudos.

I myself am not the forgiving type as I think that sympathy lies between sh*t and syphillis in the dictionary.

If I do, it'll be credited to you NOT to the chicken light colonel.

GunnyG
Oh he got the running mate he wanted! THERE WAS NO WAY The Obamatard would pick someone who eclipsed him. Biden could bore a statue. McCain picked his equal in EVERY WAY except FOREIGN POLICY, but unless he picked an ambassador, that would be the case. I must say McCain has risen in my estimation. He tried to play clean, but when Obama dropped the gloves. McCain WENT FOR THE THROAT!

I have a favor to ask. Yesterday on Coulter’s Thread, we were going around with Hal Donahue. Hal mentioned he was in for a Colonoscopy and he HONESTLY sounded a little spooked about it. Check Coulter’s Thread between 3-5 PM yesterday and see what you think. I KNOW I am one of the first to engage Hal, but I wish ill will on nobody. Could you mention it on your blog and ask folks to pray for Hal?

Charles
That is how the liberal acts. When they are in fear, they resort to insults. Since they cannot counter OUR facts and logic with their emotions and "feelings", they resort to whines and bleats.

impeachbush KNOWS it's all over and come November, he'll be crying and whining just like he did in 2000 and 2004.

But his mommy will bake him brownies to make him feel better.

Georgetwin
More like "Change" running mates and "Hope" not to be landslided in November.

His whole campaign is smoke and mirrors and McVanity just turned on the fans and Palin is picking up some rocks to throw.

impeachbush is a sick puppy
The worst racists are those who demean any accomplished minority just because they are Republicans. Thomas, Powell, and Condi Rice stand head and shoulders above the likes of Jesse Jackson, Maxine Waters, Al Sharpton, and the Chosen One, Baraq Hussein Soetoro-Dunham-Obama.

Impaired Obamatard
And I suppose you were there and heard Rice, Thomas and Powell get these instructions? GET LOST COWARD!

ImpeachA**Clown
"If Barack Obama is ELECTED, it will be because the American people want him to be their leader."

Only 43% of Hitlery voters said that they'd vote for Obongoloid. That leaves 57% who just went for McCain after HE picked a woman.

Funny how it'll be the GOP who puts a woman in the White House FIRST, and you mewl about racism/sexism.

Look to your own party moonbat.

GunnyG
If I was Barack Hussein Obama, I would HOPE I could CHANGE...WIVES! LMAO!

Executive jet
Sarah Palin sold Alaska's executive jet. Algore still flys his jet while telling us to buy carbon credits and ride the bus.

ImpeachA**Clown
Funny how you libtwits impose a double standard whenever you open your oral sewers.

Obongoloid as ZERO Executive level experience.

Palin is a successful business woman, a mayor, and now a governor who told Ted Stevens to stuff his bridge-to-nowhere and is willing to FIGHT earmarking.

You don't hear Team Socialist saying that. All you hear is change and hope and hope and change and change and hope and hope and change... yabba dabba blabba.

You are as DISINGENUOS as it gets! A partisan hack with no redeeming Character Traits using Internet Anonymity to CLOAK YOUR COWARDICE ala MoronDog, TrollRetard, etc. Until you grow a set, SCRAM PEE-WEE! YOU BOTHER ME!

"OH HOW IRONIC the RACIST and SEXIST GOP puts QUALIFIED WOMEN AND MINORITIES in positions of power."

Do you mean "qualified women and minorities" like the incompetent failure, Condoleezza? If Sarah is as intelligent and competent as Condi, and is elected VP, the USA will really be in trouble. What has Condi done in the past 8 years except wave as she boards a plane to fly off to exotic and foreign countries where she has accomplished absolutely NOTHING !!!!!

And which minorities and females has the Dumbbuttcraps ever appointed to the highest levels of government?

impeachbush
"Less than two years of "executive experience" is enough to be the VP/President of the U.S.A.?"

You are worried about experience now?!

Well then "Less than two years of executive experience" is still MUCH better then 140 days of Senatorial and ZERO! executive experience.

Don't forget Palin ran a Business and was Mayor of a town. She dwarfs Oblama experience level.

So if you have a problem with Palin's experience level. You have no business voting for Oblama.

Georgetwin
"How many DEAD Chicagoans voted fro him?"

Knowing the libvermin like I do, a lot.

McCain/Palin had better have people on hand to check the polls GOOD!

Obongo will HAVE to open the graveyards to even come CLOSE to winning.

When a Liberal takes Viagra, he gets a stiff NECK! LMAO!

Her husband is a union member and THAT is gonna pull votes away from Team Socialist.

The meltdown is gonna be exquisite this time around. The libscum fringe element is gonna FREAK and twits like impeachbush will be crying in their mommy's basement.

ImpairedBoor
How much executive experience does The Community Organizing Race P!mp have?

How many DEAD Chicagoans voted fro him?

Message to impeachbush and other liberal
George Bush is not running. Get over it. That dawg won't hunt, and the Democrats are making a big mistake with that theme. Their problem is that the public does not trust Obama.

Palin's two years of executive experience as Governor plus more experience as a mayor is more than Obama and Biden combined, who total ZERO.

ImpeachA**Clown
Yeah, 50 million people liberated. Iraq war won, peace won. Troops coming home and in fact, HAVE been coming home in the drawdown.

BTW, did you read a few days ago where the economy grew in the 2d Q by 3.3%?

Oops. Maybe you libs can go back to scaring old geezers about their Social Security.

SUCK IT LIBS! SUCK IT HARD! haha

Subject: Experience
The Democrats have two lawyers with no work experience outside politics (except as a poverty-p*mp community organizer).

Screw the lawyers!

And both husband were both blue collar workers, and the husband still is. They have real life experience which neither Obubout or Bedumb has.

And the GOP will be the first to have a female POTUS in 2012 or sooner if McCain resigns for his age, etc.

Last night Ankle Grabbing Libtards were CRYING and WETTING THEIR PANTS. This morning they SH!T THEIR PANTS!

LMAO!

Prediction

Palin will bring in many of the PUMA people, preferring McCain/Palin to Obama's SOS.

Palin has the interest of several single issue groups, including pro-gun, pro life as well as environmentalists.

The campaigns should be interesting.

Georgetwin
HAHA!

He managed to vote PRESENT 200+ times.

He DID manage to vote YES to denying ANY medical assistance to infants that survive Roe v Wade!

Despicable.

Palin is gonna wipe the floor with this limp noodle team.

Which brings up the question on WHO the libsquirts will run in 2012? Gore? Wait, no, Michael Mooreon/Cindy Sheethead!

Re:

"Bush, Rummy, Gonzales, Goodling, Libby, Vitter, Cunningham, Craig, that creep from Florida that was banging 16-year old pages, Cheney... Jesus almighty, and while those elephants are destroying the country you have been busying yourself conjuring images with smoke and mirrors!"

I "dig" how you mention names like Bush, Rummy, and Cheney without presenting any lies or crimes they have committed. The only thing more lame than a trial in the media is a 'conviction' without a charge.

I "dig" how you claim they are destroying the country without provide a single specific.

Tell me what 'crimes' Bush, Cheney, and Rummy committed. And don't hand me any of your stupid crap about Iraq. It was done by the book. The fact that you still don't like it doesn't make it illegal.

You're just another liberal lemming. You think that the rumors you've read at whacko lib blog sites can be 'proven' by mere repitition. But you have no evidence and NO CLUE.

Meanwhile you think that if you and your leftwing friends ignore the pile of evidence against your lying leftist leaders it means their crimes never happened.

Ted Kennedy was a serial philanderer resulting in manslaughter. Robert Byrd was a recruiter for the KKK. Al Gore lied about global warming (the opening scene of "An Inconvenieny Truth" showing a huge section of a glacier breaking loose was in fact a computer-generated image, not a real photo).

Obama won his State Senate seat by 'disqualifying' his competition, Chicago-style.

Robert Toricelli was told to step down because he got caught and the SC of NJ illegally allowed Frank Lautenburg to run in his place.

45 Democrat Senators vowed to save Clinton's Presidency without regard to the law.

Clean up your own house John.

Experience
The Democrats have two lawyers with no work experience outside politics (except as a poverty-p*mp community organizer).

The Republicans have two non-lawyers, one with career military experience and one with business experience. Both have as much or more political experience than the Chosen One.

Screw the lawyers!

ImpairedBoor
Can a Community Organizer vote PRESENT?

Charles
Agreed.

What makes this SOOOOOOO enjoyable is that Obongo COULD have picked Shrillary but then he'd have to not only kiss her pork butt but also hire a food tester!

Obongo is gonna pull the welfarite vote and the socialist weenies but Palin just locked in the woman vote for McCain.

Heading off on vacation
Tomorrow I'm going down to Memphis on vacation for the whole week of Labor Day, so I don't know how much - if any - of the Republican convention I'll see that week. I'll be taking my golf clubs with me, so I'll be interested in finding out what the people I'll be paired up with while out there think of McCain's choice for veep. It so happened I was in Tennessee the same week in 2004 (in Dyersburg) - and the people I was playing golf with out there (total strangers) were definitely staunch George Bush supporters, certainly with Kerry as his opponent. So it'll be interesting to find out what these Tennesseans think of this year's presidential election. Looking forward to finding out!

ImpeachA**Clown
20 years of public service?

A community activist is public service?

What was his budget? 200 bucks a week and a corn dog?

BWHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Wait, I forgot that he spent a whopping 143 days in the Senate.

WHAT.

A.

JOKE!

Dukakis Part Two, brought to you by Coward Dean and George Soros.

Correction for GunnyG
Palin has more executive experience than Baraq Hussein Soetoro-Obama and Biden combined Their total is zero.

Obama blew it when he "dissed" Hillary (in the black venacular).

This is a great choice by McCain.

JMO51
BWHAHAHAHA!

Like a little doggy worrying a bone, you libs still whine and mewl about that.

Bush released his SF 180 AND the TANG backed it up with a release of his records that SHOWED he flew MORE hours than he had to.

The best of your BDS is that you morons STILL bleat about Bush, like he's running for a third term. The you nominate a WEAKLING with less governmental experience than my Eagle Scout son!

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Keep whining little girl. Game SET Match!

How are John Edwards and Idiot Spritzer these days?

James
GWB never disproved the claim that he was AWOL from his national guartd service. What did in Rather was some of the facts of his story were incorrect and some of his sources suspect. But the essential story was correct and some records were inconviently lost.

Barack Obama, Chair of the CAC Board
SOURCE The Chicago Annenberg Challenge –The First 3 Years 1999 Shipps, Sconzert,
Pg 11 Shortly after Walter Annenberg launched his Challenge in 1993, three Chicago school activists -- Anne Hallett, a local foundation executive turned national advocate of urban school improvement, William Ayers, a political organizer who became a local professor of education, and Warren Chapman, a state school reformer who is now a local foundation program officer, seized the opportunity.
Ayers captured their enthusiasm:
"When Annenberg announced that he was gonna give out half a billion dollars, I heard it on the radio at six in the morning. At seven in the morning, I had talked to Anne, and Warren, and the three of us met for lunch that day. We began to plot a strategy.

15Vartan Gregorian, Letter to Barack Obama, Chair of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge Board. Brown University, May 28, 1996.

‘7The final, accepted proposal to the Annenberg Foundation lists the wide range of Collaborative responsibilities detailed here. However, a letter dated before the proposal from two of the founders, Anne Hallett and Bill Ayers, simply says, “The Collaborative will be the operational policy and planning group.”

SOURCE "Appraising Walter Annenberg's $500 million Gift to Public Education by Alexander Russo
Pg 42 For perhaps the first year, the working group— now called the Collaborative— was highly involved in key activities and decisions. For example, the original sessions outlining how the application process would work were conducted by the Collaborative, according to Bill McKersie.

“The Collaborative was very much running the show.” said McKersie of the three community meetings he attended in 1995. “They were way out in front of the staff,” he said.

christianlib
Yeah, it was a token pick.

Kinda like Oblahblah huh?

BTW, Palin has MORE executive level experience than YOUR POTUS nominee!

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

The Weak Canidate
Great article Michelle. Barack is a weak canidate and will do anything to anyone to quench his thirst for power. What a weak guy.

RR

i like the pick
as a liberal i think it is high time the republican party broke up the ol boys club.

it proves the point i have been making that mccain is a liberal at heart.

one negative point,

my wife who is not real political and voted for hillary.
she feels this is a token pick and said "hillary earned her chops in the senate and on the campaign trail, the idea that i would vote for mccain just because he picked a woman is galling."



either way, i am happy with both tickets and whoever wins will make the country stronger.

* Talking point hit squads used to intimidate investigative reporters and the media that air their work.

* Subversive political organizations used to intimidate GOP donors.

Excellent post my good man, but you forgot to mention the 15 and 17 year old girls that were roughed up and arrested by the Denver Police for writing anto-Obama messages with sidewalk chalk yesterday. And did I mention, those two bright young ladies had permission from the City of Denver to do so. This is the Democratic party at its finest (puke:(

Doc Who?
I was really withholding my judgement until he picked his Veep. By picking Palin, he just united the base.

Lights out for Team Commie.

Amazing stuff going on!
A MUST READ is "Liberal Fascism" by Jonah Goldberg. It is fascinating. If you don't want to buy it, get at library. It is a real eye opener, and I don't normally read political books, but this one is a standout.
Can you imagine the screaming in the Clinton Household now that McCain has named Mrs. Palin as VP choice. Oh to be a fly on the wall there.
Not just lamps flying, but probably couches too, at this point. Laff OUT LOUD!!!!!!!!!!11

Georgetwin
enough to scare the dooky out of him?

I Must Admit
After hearing her speech, my heart has been lifted as well.

GUNNY
Glad to see your Mood improve over the GOP ticket.

BYE BYE LIBVERMIN
McShamnesty picks CONSERVATIVE Palin.

Obongo picks a decrepit old white guy, a DC insider.

Maybe NEXT time libs.

Your parade just got rained all over didn't it.
Al Goracle should be proud. She did sell the jet she was given when she became Gov. C'mon AL Boy Man up and sell yours.

"I am my brothers keeper"
A quote from Oblama's speech last night.
"I am my brothers keeper"

HIS BROTHER, is living off a $1.00 a month in a shack barely big enough to lay down in, in Africa.

This is a good example of how Oblama is "my brothers keeper".

"Community organizer" = rabble rouser, like the detritus that supports his election

Has anyone else noticed
that Gov. Palin just stomped on Obama's bounce?

G'Twin, Were you thinking IQ over 80
is good enough for admission? That eliminates 99% or so of the trolls.

PLEASE don't tell me I owe for another keyboard!

"TH should give an IQ test to prospective members. MAYBE that would weed out the 15 year-old, Obamaron, Trolls."

But then it wouldn't be so much fun watching them froth and unravel.....

Silence the Truth
When you cannot honestly refute the facts, SILENCE the source.

kerry tried the similar antics with Sinclair and the Swiftboat facts.

Is it surprising that the Anit-Christian Lawyers Union would refuse to take a stance against "The Anointed One"? They see "osama" obama as a faster track to the destruction of the US and Israel,which is one of their major aims. It never ceases to amaze me to witness people and groups that work so hard to destroy the very nation that affords them the protection to do so.

Charles:
Please explain to me just what in the h3ll is a community organizer?

And how does that fit on a resume???
Does that mean you qualify for a meter reader job?

Painting manholes?
School crossing guard?
Information Booth Attendant?

Impeachbush misses the point
Hillary wants Baraq Hussein Soetoro-Obama to lose, leaving the door open for 2012. Having a woman on the Republican ticket makes it easier for her to sit back and let her tormenter stew.

Georgetwin

Anecdotal Poll on Palin
The results of my totally unscientific poll shows that one of my female co-workers, a lifetime Democrat Hillary supporter who was on the fence, has now come over to our side (at least for one vote in November).

Sarah Palin is REAL America
With credits to elko.mike, Sarah Palin is a real woman and a real American that female voters will relate to much better than to Hillary Clinton. And my guess is that she sometimes wears clothing other than pastel pantsuits.

Dems are Stupid
We think you are stupid because you are:

Dems believe:
Higher taxes will help the economy.
Taxing oil more will help our energy crisis.
Government helath care will work. Just like all of those other government monopolies, Medicare, social security, public schools.Yeah they all do such a fine job. Let's do more government.

Stop being stupid!

Elko
VERY Strong Ticket for The GOP INDEED :)!

The man behind the curtain
The Republican boat has sprung a major leak.

Supporters are starting to look like fools.

No, NO, don't look at the man behind the curtain.

Charles from Pa
EXACTLY!!! Her family is REAL America. Not lawyers. Is real America PTA or community organizers. Is it taking care of one's family or is it seeking government handouts?

Her experience is more than good enough for me.

Oops, wrong koolaid
GOP been drinking their own koolaid in thinking that Hillary supporters are that stupid.

And now GOP is pro-union.

Can't really blame them for thinking we are that stupid. Plenty of evidence to back that theory.
