Comments for Palin Rally: Lib media transforms a single bigot into a racist mob »
Posted By Wolfie2007 1 year, 1 month ago in NewsDana Milbank of the Washington Post often writes with a good deal of attitude, and his Tuesday column was no exception. In his report on Sarah Palin’ s campaign speech in Clearwater, Florida, laced with mocking Palinisms (“ darn right,” “ betcha” ), he wrote that “ the self-identified pit bull has been unleashed, if not unhinged.” The “ unhinging,” in Milbank’ s assessment, came when Palin charged that Obama still has some explaining to do about his relationship with 1960s Weatherman bomber William Ayers.

These bigots were probably Obama operatives working with Milbank so he could write this smear. Someone should record what the Obamites say to the people going into Palin Rallys. I've heard they scream and shout all kinds of insults at those folks. Of course, republicans and conservatives don't raise a stink about it because it just what liberal democrat trash does and we just consider the source, so who cares?

The Modern Republican party ... Christian Conservatives ... if you will ... have ... as their foundation ... a knee jerk racism and bigotry that has harmed our nation just horribly.
Reply
One might say that ... we would have NO race problem in America today if not for the EXTREME Racism from small minded Americans who not only REFUSED to accept Blacks ... Asians ... Mexicans into society ... but WORKED AGAINST the whole concept.
As Racism and Bigotry is the foundation ... the origins of the Modern Republican Party .... I doubt seriously that it will go away any time soon.
Modern Republicans MUST have a group to DEMONIZE .... It's in the DNA.
It's not 'Politically Correct' to hate Black People Overtly now ... so Republicans have shifted their Demonization towards Catholics, The Educated, Mexicans, and Homosexuals.
It is simply a way to 'motivate the base'. To PASSIONATELY motivate the base.
Hope this helps you understand how the majority of Americans see the Modern Republican Party. -

I think you might be onto something there Wolfie.. I think ACORN was infiltrated by republicans who purposely engaged in fraudulent voter registration to make them look bad. And while we are at it , those fake national guard records of Bush's that Dan Rather fell for---they were actually the truth put into forged documents so they could be called fake so no one would believe the truth about Bush. That had Karl Rove all over it....

My aversion to Obama has nothing to do with race and I am very tired of any criticism of him as being racially motivated. It does a disservice to your candidate. He is going to have to undergo scrutiny and criticism as a presidential contender and (God forbid) if he wins the election. Can you imagine what this country will be like if no one can criticize the president, as they have all presidents, with race becoming the issue?

He looks like a man, with the fatures passed to him by the combination of his parents. You know, just like you and just like me. His appearence is meaningless, though I'd say he's well spoken, appears fairly fit, and doesn't apprear to have been beaten by an ugly stick. Youth and looks are always an attribute in politics over experience, or if the experience is the same, looks trump in this shallow society. BTW his wife isn't bad looking either, I assume she too has ears, fingers toes and everything else most humans have.

Some of my major issues with McCain are his views on abortion and gays, his sometimes hawkish views, his sometimes condescending comments, and his late selection of Palin so she's had to practically go through bootcamp to come up to speed.
Reply
Some of my major issues with Obama are his inexperience, his support of anti-U.S. constitution U.N. and government policies, and his ties to ultra-leftist Soros and wealthy bully Bloomberg, who places himeself above the law.
I really don't care about the race/ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation of the individual. I am a libertarian, and I have voted democrat more than republican over the years because of the issues important to me. I'm pleased that either a racial/ethnic minority or a woman will be elected this time around. I'm a bit more concerned about the Obama than the McCain ticket, though. I hope whichever is elected will be given either a house or senate of the opposite party to keep him in check.

His partial birth abortion votes and his no vote on the Born Alive bill for starters. I cannot see this country being led by a man who would vote to withhold medical aid to a baby born alive from a botched abortion. America has fought and sacrificed to stop other countries who practice this atrocity. Now we have someone running for president who supports infanticide.

I didn't realize that you belonged to the "Right to Birth" movement. Are you concerned only about aborted fetuses, or does your concern extend to little children? Could you vote for someone who would withhold medical care from them, like President Bush did and all those who voted against the bill that would have provided medical care to children.
You say: "America has fought and sacrificed to stop other countries who practice this atrocity."
I don't know what you are referring to. Where did America fight, and what kinds of sacrifices did it make to stop others from aborting fetuses? Don't you think that's the internal affair of each country? Would you like other countries to dictate to you what you can or cannot do? Other countries may think that the death penalty is barbaric. Should they stop the US from executing people?
What about the children killed in Iraq, Afghanistan, and lately Pakistan, not to mention all the children in Korea, Vietnam, South America, and all kinds of other countries where the US has interfered? Don't they count? How about the adults? What is the worth of a million Iraqi lives?
You should understand something: nobody is for abortions. Those who promote sex education do it to prevent abortions. You should also face another fact: you can outlaw abortions, but you cannot eliminate them. The only question is whether they are legal or illegal. Abortion existed at the time of your mother, your grandmother and probably much earlier than that. That's just how things are, and there is nothing you can do about it. The more unwanted pregnancies we prevent, the fewer abortion there will be.-

No one was speaking of fetus, it was about babies left to die. Babies who, Obama voted to refuse medical attention because these babies survived a so called partial birth abortion. You're just sicko.
You liberal democrats worry about wolves, seals, polar bears, apes and any number of mice and insects but your lack of humanity shows when you attempt to make excuses for the inhuman treatment of human babies.-

That bill had nothing to do with 'killing babies just born' and you damn well know it. No infant is purposely killed at birth so stop doing the right wing twist with the truth. Anti-abortionists have been trying to get bills like this passed for years in order to get around Roe vs. Wade. They purposely word these bills to make anybody opposing them sound callous. The only time late term abortions are performed is when the mothers life is in grave danger from pregnancy complications, which by the way are rare. The wording on the original bill "A baby shall be considered born alive at anytime during development" (read at conception) is what the obvious problem was. Once that was resolved it passed.

I really wouldn't worry about that. He recently stated he'd like to see abortion decisions return to the states, probably more strongly than McCain (but not Palin). He doesn't realize that's really an anti-Roe position, from what I gather. I'm strongly pro-choice, and I judge both candidates to be too anti-abortion for my tastes. And the so called "Born Alive" issue is really a play on words. These are not babies that can survive, so it's just spin on the part of the far right.

My boss is Catholic, and abortion is her #1 issue. My view on abortion is just not a priority for me in this election--although I have consciously voted pro-choice in a number of past elections.-

Obama has picked up enough knowledge to be able to talk the issues over the months, but he doesn't have actual experience with the issues. He didn't even have a platform in February, and he just adopted Clinton's when he was finally up against the wall. It's taken him months to finally define his platform.
Reply
Palin has had only 6 weeks, but is also bright and capable. I'm more concerned at Obama's inexperience as president than hers as vice president.
On the other hand, I'm not strongly for or against either ticket, so I will be neither delighted nor depressed by whomever wins. -

No it’s not. It’s an indication that we know the SOP of the Democratic party and it’s shills to use the race card to try and silence others by turning debate about our concerns that Obama would not be the right person for the job into we must be racists for thinking that and moving the topic to your base thinking that everyone that has valid concerns must be racists because you only see skin color and not his merit when you look at Obama.

So you admit that the Clinton administration was a big taxer!!?? Good for you! Finally some honesty!
Reply
Clinton & a Democratic-led congress raised corporate tax rates to 35% in 1993. Then, even with a Republican-led congress (they deserve some of the blame/credit ), Clinton was able to tweak the rates to 38%.
You see, the real reason for the budget surplus in 2000 was the high corporate taxes. Are we too high? Let's see:
We are higher than virtually all other developed countries. Example: US corporate tax rate = 38%.
For Sweden, tax rate = 17%
For Ireland (recent economic boom), tax rate = 14%.
Get the picture?
Was there a downside to these high taxes and budget surplus? Yes - the high taxation helped drive jobs overseas as well as put severe strain on US businesses, leading to the recession that Bush has to inherit.
That's right, even the NYTimes admits that Bush was not responsible for the recession he had to deal with in 2001!

Yeah I know. I never understood how the left feels ok with Obama’s inexperience and felt its ok because he picked an experienced VP to help with that. However they aren’t intelligent enough to figure out that if indeed McCain were to pass away, all she would need to do is the same thing Obama has done and pick a VP to help her in the areas she needs help in.

No matter whay they say, the Republicans are known to use anything they can to scare and divide the American public.
Reply
Rally after rally they continue to mention the candidate as Baroc Hussein Obama. This only to evoke the feeling that he is a Muslim and or terrorist as many of the Republicans have said. Yes yes, they are only using his full name which has nothing wrong with it. But, come on, that's what the intention is, scare and divide. Clinton, Johnson, Carter, etc. all had middle names which were not repeated at every rally because it wouldn't have made a difference.
So, when they sow these type of seeds, and provoke this type of atmosphere, they really have to own up to the consequences.
Lets hope that this is where the hate and prejudice stops. -

1. I do not believe Sarah Palin believes that Obama is a terrorist, but yes- she did infer that by association, encouraging others to take it as far as they will. For a speaker to take the primal fear that is represented by the word "terrorist" and use it in such a calculated fashion is irresponsible. As for it being only one crazy person, that's just not true. Any person who stands up and yells "Kill him" knows that the mood around him is with his sentiments or he would be afraid to yell it. It is the silent ones who pose the danger.

2. William Ayers was first a member of the Students for Democratic Action. When protesting failed, the Weathermen took social activism a step further. It is a time that is difficult to explain. The Vietnam War, four assassinations, the civil rights movement, little girls being bombed in their church - it was enough to make a lot of people a little bit crazy. The Weathermen's intention was to disrupt society's "business as usual" attitude to force those in charge to listen. The only people they injured accidentally were members of their own group. They were never convicted of anything and after some years in hiding were allowed to resume regular lives. For the last 30-40 years, Ayers has been a contributing member of society, supporting educational programs and working as a college professor. It is logical that he would have been drawn to a candidacy that represents a societal change in thinking, that has been a long time in coming. To call Ayers a terrorist at this stage in his life is the same as assuming that John McCain is still the irresponsible womanizing midshipman who graduated at the bottom of his class.-

Worse, Palin's routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her "less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media." At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, "Sit down, boy."

Obama's political career began in Ayers living room. That is fact.

And since then, Obama has worked with Ayers many times and never denounced him even once. Even after Ayers said things recently like he wished he had blown up more buildings and people too.
But Obama says, he didn't know this guy or had any idea who or what he was? Come on folks. Either Obama is lying or he is a naive idiot. Which one is it?
Let's be honest people, if John McCain had this connection the news media and liberals would be all over it.
And this is only one of Obama's shady connections. But you don't hear much about any of it because the majority of the news media is biased.
And the reason why you don't see hecklers at Obama rallies, is because those that don't support him but do support McCain and Pailn are not so petty and they have more class and dignity.-

Ayers was not just a frustrated hippie. He did kill one person at a San Francisco police station and seriously injured two more. In 2001, in his book Fugitive Days he stated he did not regret setting the bombs but did regret he hadn't bombed more people. -

And round and round it goes: Ayers...Wright...Michelle....ears...terrorist; stinky bus (see the terminally "damning"/surrealistically dopey con post of a few days ago, etc.

The actual question at this point is, is McCain going to stop his fruitless hate-mongering, scatter-shot, on-again, off-again messaging about the economy et al and rally around a single, direct approach that might, just might, do him some good, or will it be business-as-usual?
That business causing his campaign to self-destruct. Before our very eyes.-

Poulenc. Yes you are right on. Obama has put distance between his poll numbers and McCain's as of late. Notice that the gap began to widen after the real ugly character attacks on Obama's character started.

Did you see the interview with Michelle Obama the other night? Compare that with Palin's fiascoes and declare who's character is uppermost.
My choice for President was Ron Paul. But I will most likely vote for Obama because this country really needs a person who can bring fiscal responsibility and morality to the people. This sounds a whole lot like Obama.
McCain's character is not even a close second to Obama. I see in McCain an opportunist who left his crippled wife ( who didn't burden him with her difficulties while he was held by the North Koreans ) and their children for a young lady who turned out to be a drug addict and who stole from a charity of all things to support her habit.
Anyway McCain took out a marriage license before he divorced his wife and this was after several months of he and Cindy traveling together.
Then while his new wife Cindy and her father were business partners with Keating, and while Keating was lavishing goodies on Cindy and John, the McCain character was not strong enough to keep him from accepting all that low hanging fruit . And as a result thousands of pensioners and investors lost their life savings and the United States Taxpayer was out Billions to repair the damage.
And some of you Right Wingers can overlook that criminal activity because you claim a fear of a person whose demeanor and visible character is much better than your own, as demonstrated by your choice in this election.
For shame,for you to claim character as your motivation. Just say you would rather vote for the real thief and the real corruption and then at least you would be honest about it.

One or two rally attendees...or dozens. And?

Polls show that for 25% of Democrats, Obama's skin color is a problem. Democrat response? Label anything and everything observed a a McCain/Palin rally as essentially racist.
In defense of Obambies, it's not like there is anything about Obama or his record they can stand on. I understand the frustration. In 2000, I voted against Gore, not for Bush. This year I'm not voting for McCain. I'm voting against Obama.
The GOP can't seem to give me someone I WANT to vote for. But the DNC insists on giving me someone I MUST NOT vote for.-

Consider the pattern:
Each election, you wind up with a negative view of both candidates;
so you vote against the one you hate the most.
The polls always show negative adds influence how we think;
Yet everyone says they are not the ones influenced by mud-slinging.
Supposing we filtered out the mud?
Supposing we only looked at the good things about both candidates?
Would that really be impractical?
I think it would change a lot for the better.
Obama is a good man; so is McCain.
The people talking about them, - not always so good.

It is amazing that McCain and Palin are using Mr Ayers as the bogeyman, when Todd is a lot scarier.He has his hands into Alaska's government with his Gov.Wife approval.Will he be the unofficial VP if they win.Troopergate open a view on how she governs.McCain has align himself with racist tag team Palin and Todd.

This is another example of Obama plants deliberately attempting to turn this election into a racial election. It falls in line perfectly with instructions democrates are given on democraticparty@democrate.org. I have never heard a Republican use the "N" word. Only democrates.

Allow me to propose a question to our pseudo-intellectual Obama supporters. If the Republicans are such racist, tell me which political party, while in office, has had a male Afro-American, female Afro-American, and an Hispanic in primary Cabinet positions. Hint,is was NOT the Democratic party - though they had amply opportunity with two term of Bill Clinton.

Well for one, Colin Powell thought he was going to be the first black man to lead the U.S, Armed Forces but found out instead that he was the highest paid "houseboy" in American history, whose job was just to shill and lie for Extremist Republicans

tatf. Please allow me to comment on Republicans of today.

I used to be a Republican, but left the Party within months after Bush came in. I had voted for him but soon realized what a scumbag he and his cabinet was. After 9/11 when most of the world and I, were behind him, he and his Corporate buddies started a war that didn't have to happen. It was started by lies and propaganda and had nothing to do with any threat to America.
What they did was invade to rape the resources of Iraq and make money for his Corporate friends that were in the war business or in the Oil business. Six years later after over one million dead and four times that many displaced and $3 Trillion spent on this fiasco John McCain wants to keep it going. Why? To keep the profits rolling in for his friends in the war business. Iraq is not and never has been a threat to America.
I left the party when Saddam Hussein's offer - before the invasion - to accept exile was turned down by Bush. I realized then what we had in office and I could guess what the future would bring. And come it did.-

Could you imagine what a field day the media would have if McCain, or better yet, if Palin had a brother living in Africa on one (1) dollar a month. It would pasted al over AOL, CNN, CBS, NBC, NY Times, LA Times, etc, etc, etc. The media even comes to Obama's defense by stating that George Obama is "Happy and Content" living in a one room, dirt floor shack with one (1) dollar a month for incidentals like food and clothing

I hate to bring facts in the world of Cresp. But it was people like the esteemed senator from West Virginia, previously a KKK wizard now Liberal, that Collin Powell feared for his wife. The same racist Liberals that attacked Clarence Thomas during his confirmation hearings because he was not one of their Liberal "Uncle Toms" like Jesse Jackson.

Or How about Gonzales?
Placed by Republicans to lie, cheat, and destroy the fairness of our American justice system.
Now American Hispanics have that vile stain on their honor, thanks to the Cons.
Is THAT the kind of thing you are referring to?-

You may disagree with the political viewpoints of those you mention; but ,you can not dispute the fact that is was the Republicans that selected minorities for the key positions. Plus it was only with the help of the Republicans that enabled Lyndon Johnson to pass the Civil Rights Act. His own party, the Democrates, led by Senator Core (father of Al Gore) fought him on the passage of this Act. So to claim that the Republicans are "racist' is morally and factually wrong. -

PBS has an online poll posted asking if Sarah Palin i qualified. Apparently the right wing knew about this in advance and are flooding the voting with YES votes. The poll will be reported on PBS and picked up by

mainstream media. It can influence undecided voters
in swing states.
Please do two things -- takes 20 seconds.
1) Click on link and vote yourself
Here's the link: http://www.pbs.org/now/polls/poll-435.html
2) Then send this to every single Obama-Biden voter
you know, and urge them to vote and pass it on.
The LAST thing we need is PBS saying their viewers
think Sarah Palin is qualified.
