  • i like the transitions they use between black n white and color.

  • Whoa.....they were trying to make Obama look like a terrorist.

  • what a dumb video

  • .org use the name of this video and .org for an independent fact finding website that cuts through the lies and distortions of all parties. Very cool!!!

  • .org

  • "air dropped a mini army" oh I so laughed at that one :D sound funny as hell.

  • If Palin ever gets voted in for higher office, I will move! that bitch has got to be the dumbest thing on the planet!

  • CHINA=GENOCIDE CRIMINAL

  • these racist white wing cowards will always use a woman as their "voice" in the voiceover.....

  • Didn't work.

  • Guess we better be thinkin' Palin 2012 now... Welcome to Socialism. I do love the fact that I'm going to get hit on capital gains and dividends. As I lay my $10.00 an hour employees off because I can't stay in business, they will need that extra $1000.00 on their tax returns. Will that be enough "CHANGE" for you? To all those people that are behind spread the wealth... start spreading... I guarantee there are people less fortunate than you! I'm Republican, 'cause not everyone can be on welfare!

  • @Not everyone can be on welfare...

    just corporations I suppose?

    look at financial history. corporations actually make more money in times of higher taxes, and the economy is relatively stronger to those times of conservative values.

    in republican vs democrat administrations, american history shows that prosperity is more prevalent under a democrat.

    Not trying to change your mind, but offer you hope.These are facts too, not speculation (other than the first response which was interpretation)

  • FZappaFan1, WOW so your saying that these people that are working for you trying to raise their family`s on $10.00 a hour, and has made your business what it is to day, you repay them by laying them off so that you keep your pockets lined off their hard work, WOW got to love that Republican way,

  • Ignore the Obamabots.

    JUST VOTE!

    Reject Obamas spread the wealth ideology.

    Vote McCain-Palin 08!

  • Lets make this a huge turnout of

    McCain-Palin supporters!

    Ignore the liberal press and Obamas intimidation tactics.

    Just VOTE McCain-Palin tomorrow!

  • McCain-Palin supporters, we all MUST VOTE!

    Obamas tactics are to intimidate and discourageReject Socialism and Obamas lies!

    Vote McCain-Palin 08!

  • Mccain hit a new low... wait nevermind

  • Even if 30 lawyers really were dropped into Alaska (which is a dubious claim), I don't see why that's bad for McCain. The DNC would be doing all the necessary vetting work that he didn't bother to do.

  • At least Sarah isn't "grounded" and has to stay home because she stuck ger foot in her mouth like Biden does. Bottom line. It looks like Obama is going to win. I've been watching the industrial parks work their way empty for some time now. Just wait until the moron starts taxing them more. Then they all will be in Mexico. It's not about who is right... who is MORE wrong?

  • OBAMA/BIDEN 08!

  • I would feel sorry for Palin if it wasn't for the fact that she dishes out dirt with a smile on her face every chance she gets. It's too obvious that Palin is far from innocent!

    Honestly,

    Palin should've told McCain, "Thanks, but outside my job as governor of Alaska, I don't know Jack Shit. Hell, besides Roe Vs Wade, I can't name any other Supreme Court descisions. I couldn't even give you the names of any major news papers. So you'll have to go find yourself another PAWN!"

  • Can one of you McCain supporters tell me if Cindy McCain got a "cold chill" when John didn't vote for the GI Bill? Why is it ok to throw money away into this war but it's not ok to help the vets that fought there? I'm baffled. Ted Kennedy had an excuse, he has a brain tumor.

    OBAMA/BIDEN 08!

  • I find it interesting Sarah Palin will do NO interviews except for Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, yet she has time for Saturday Night Live---ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS YOU DITZY BITCH!!

  • LOL you called her a ditzy bitch! :)

  • q finally done w/ my homework ne1 4 chat? o

  • if palin has done nothing wrong there is nothing to be woried or annoyed about

  • It's her empty head most of us are worried about! Plus her ABUSE OF POWER and VIOLATION OF ETHICS that scare the heck out of me!

  • a woman that claims that because she can see another country from her house, has foreign policy experience. is VERRY worrying.

  • MightyUrinal, at least Sarah can spell very.

  • plus she claims to be pro-life but allows murder of animal babies!

    I honestly don't get her

  • Using MightyUrinal's logic, I'm sure Barry Obama will want to produce his birth certificate. Why hire teams of lawyers to block a subpoena for it if you have nothing to hide, right?

  • i love to see how double tongued the obama supporters are. they get so mad at the truth they can only spout out foul language and insults. insulting the very people who make this country safe. the people who give up their lives for ours, for our children. all i can say is gods eyes are open. he can see and hear all. may god have mercy on all of you hateful,blind,double talking, ungrateful sheep!!

  • this is garbage... mcain i dont give a fuck if you were a pow... and i dont know why get so much praise for being a POW .... you were shot down and captured... why should you get praise for sucking ass and getting captured...they should have killed you so we woulnt be able to hear this garbage..

    McCain + Palin= 4 more years under bush.

    Palin's friends aren't even voting for McCain. Now what does that tell you.

    Did you listen to Palin's interview? I have never seem someone squirm so much.

  • Palin should be in JAIL!!!! for the troopgate scandle, wake up american.

  • Palin's routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts&taunts

    by the crowd of about 3,000. " 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."

  • Why can't Palin be interviewed? They are hiding her because they never know what she will say! Sad comment on the candidate Mc Cain chose as his running mate. What was he thinking? Clearly not America first - Why would he foist this idiot on us? He is thinking Mc Cain first and it is backfiring!

    GO OBAMA/BIDEN

  • Sorry Bristol, Willow, Bark & Nutmeg... mommy has no time for you these days. She's too busy trying to correctly pronounce 'nuclear'

  • Here is a BIG Fact Check You!

    The only honest thing McCain has said-- on Meet The Press is: I know nothing about the economy and I need to be more educated on it! Now would you want a man like that in office? Well if you do then you have 4 more years with BUSH JR>>>John McCain!..if a man votes 90% with BUSH he is 10% shy of Being G.BUSH and McCain is your NEW BUSH..and a man that claims he knows nothing of the economy, then knows nothing about taxes and that man is John McCain!!

  • do you consider me eye candy? im tasty :)

  • He did not have to send anyone to Alaska. The media did it for him. The public demands suitable vetting and it is pathetic to see the baby sitting she is getting now. she is a moron and has the education and background to prove it. You are sheep to believe anything she says.

  • As he drops in the polls? Do you mean as he rises in them?

  • Drops in the polls? Not Lately and desperate attacks on character isnt that what the McCain camp is doing now. And as for fact check go check it the have been inaccuracies by both sides.

  • John McCain looks like my penis when it's flaccid.

  • No "air-drop" actually happened. Lie.

    No attacks are cited. Lie.

    Lots of nice stock footage, though.

    "I just have to rely on the good judgment of the voters not to buy into these negative attack ads. Sooner or later, people are going to figure out if all you run is negative attack ads you dont have much of a vision for the future or you're not ready to articulate it."

    - John McCain  [The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, 2/21/2000]

  • You loser Obama dummies are going to stop at nothing to win....well I am not and other aren't going to stop going after you either. because you lie, cheat, and mischaracterise anyone you dislike. You all are evil and crazy, I'm calling you buffoons out here in youtube. Obama is a emperor in new clothing...He will be exposed. Obama has done nothing for you and will do nothing for you. He is corrupt. Grow up. Pointless to debate these left wing radicals. I can't vote for a tax and spend liberal.

  • Pointless, because just like the morronic conservative sheep you follow, you haven't a leg to stand on.

  • I do not like these videos.

  • I'm looking forward to seeing the landslide.

  • One problem...Obama's not dropping in the polls, McCain is. Furthermore, Palin is her own worst enemy, and judging by his catatonic, crap eating grin when he hears her speak, she's McPain's worst enemy too. The truth is what it is and it hurts. I've not seen someone so amazingly stupid as Palin outside of The Hills, and both of those shows make me laugh and puke in uneven and disconcerting intervals.

  • Ahmadinejad: "I will wipe Israel off the map"

    Obama: "No you won't"

    Ahmadinejad: "I will wipe Israel off the map"

    Obama: "Touche"

    Warmonger?

  • A vote for McCain is a vote for a warmongering, relic who didn't have the backbone to pick the man he really wanted as his VP Joe Leiberman, nor the forethought to look into the background of the wholly unqualified "hockey mom" he was coerced into choosing. Sarah Palin is a Jesus Freak wackjob who has no ctrl over her family & married an America hating secessionist who she let treat The Governors office like his own. McCain Presidency = a 3rd term of failed Bush policies or worse, Palin as Prez.

  • If this ad and the "disrespectful" ad aren't using Palin's gender in an attempt to gain sympathy from female voters, I'd be surprised.

    Gee, Obama can't use the "I'm black, and the whites are attacking me" line, but within a couple of weeks Palin has not one but two ads using the "I'm a woman, and the men are attacking me" line? Kinda tells what McCain thinks about the intelligence of American women.

  • ytdamom-reposting 4 u

    Fed Housing Reg Reform Act of 2005 S. 190

    "For years I have been concerned about the regulatory structure that governs Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac known as Govt sponsored entities or GSEs & the sheer magnitude of these companies & the role they play in the housing market. The report solidifies my view that the GSEs need to be reformed without delay. I urge my colleagues to support swift action on this GSE reform legislation." John McCain, Senate Floor-5/25/2006 NOBAMA

  • I re-posted since some obama-not jerk spammed you.

    McCain*Palin ~ Free Speech--No Spamming

  • David Letterman, "You don't suspend your campaign. This doesn't smell right. This isn't the way a tested hero behaves." And he joked: "I think someone's putting something in his metamucil."

    "He can't run the campaign because the economy is cratering? Fine, put in your second string quarterback, Sarah Palin. Where is she?"

    "What are you going to do if you're elected and things get tough? Suspend being president? We've got a guy like that now!"

  • "The economy is fundamentally sound"

    - John McCain (last week)

    "This is the worst economic crisis since World War II "

    - John McCain (this week)

    OUT OF TOUCH.

    What will McCain say next week?

  • Republicans in the White house for 8 years and control the Senate and Congress for 6 of those years and what do you have?

    A WRECKED ECONOMY!

    Let The Liar McCain and his mentor Bush and the entire Republican party answer for their 8 years of disgraceful FAILURE.

  • What a bunch of tree hugging, animals-over-human-babies, pregnant-daughter-obsessed posters.

    NONE of you have the slightest idea of what it takes to run a state with massive land and wildlife balance issues.

    I want to take your FALSE charges, line by line (they ARE false & misrepresented you know), but...

    you are sooooo boring...and boorish.

    Before you accuse me of being an "animal hater"...forget it. I have pets that I love. So try getting a life.

    McCain*Palin '08

  • IslandSpice, you are completely correct. Us? We don't know the first thing on how the fuck to run Alaska.

    So I guess we'd better let Palin keep that job, and leave the running the country business to the real national leaders huh? You don't want Alaska to lose the only person who knows how to govern it do you? What have you got against Alaska?

  • IslandSpiceDreamin,

    Animal hater.

    : )

    VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN!

  • Thanks for proving my point, tree-hugger! (now you can ALSO call me a tree hater. that should just make your day! Even though I happen to love trees, too) LOL. You liberals are soooo entertaining. ALMOST as entertaining as your volatile, ignorant, ranting, arrogant, gaffe-away VP candidate. Come talk to me in ten years, when you grow up and become Republicans!!

    McCain*Palin ~ Country First--Socialism NEVER

  • ROFL, Spicey!

    Can't you see that I wrote that, fully aware of what I was writing, fully aware of what you had written?

    Stop taking yourself so seriously.

  • Obama-bait--just don't know what we'd do without you children coming to the McCain channel with lame jokes..instead of using your brains. Is this the BEST you can do? Oh-sorry-4got you're indictrinated.

    Just because ObamaMarx censors OUR speech, doesn't mean we have time for your inane prattle over here. Bored? You should have the obama-thought-police lift the censorship. Oh-wait-that would take INDEPENDENT THOUGHT-an Obama no-no!

    McCain*Palin ~ Free Speech 4ever!

    Thought Police NEVER

  • Spice,

    But seriously, just because you love your dogs doesn't mean they love you.

  • Those wolves in the ad... are they the ones Palin is shooting from a helicopter?

    Google:

    "Palin wolves ariel hunting"

    "Palin almost recalled as mayor"

    "Palin against abortion even rape incest"

    "Palin Direct role charging women for rape test kits"

    "Palin abuse of power investigation"

    "Palin Police Chief Library Director"

    DO YOUR OWN FACT CHECK, AMERICA!

    VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN!!!!!!!!!

  • ''Those wolves in the ad... are they the ones Palin is shooting from a helicopter?

  • TY ; )

    OBAMA/BIDEN!!!!!!!!!

  • INDOCTRINATED..glad I had the chance to correct my spelling. Even more fun to write it again :)

  • Also, it is spelled "forgot", not 4got.

    Just thought you'd like to have some more fun writing it again.

  • thank you! i almost FORGOT how much fun it is to re-type "INDOCTRINATED"!!!

    McCain*Palin ~ Allowing YOU Freedom of Speech

  • THEY ARE LIARS.

    Palin sued the Department of the Interior to try and get polar bears removed off the endangered species list.

    As governor of Alaska, Palin handed out $150 incentive checks to hunters who shot endangered wolves out of helicopters.

    PALIN IS A MURDERER OF THE SANCTITY OF WILDLIFE.

  • She's really proud of her 17 year old daughter getting pregnant.

  • McCain really wants to play the fact check game huh!? lol

  • "Air-dropped a mini-army... "

    It never happened. The writer was speaking metaphorically, and has, long ago, repudiated any literal presentation of his words.

    This "Fact Check" is, itself, just a (re-)presentation of the McCain/Palin lies that were current a few weeks ago.

    More (and yet more) maverick manure.

  • McCain lies and twists the truth in all his ads. Do your research and you will find the Real truth. McCain supporters simply do not understand because they are overwhelmed with McCain's Lies in his dirty TV and internet campains.

  • mccain's latest trip is to say barack obama is gaming the system. this is code for minority families who cheat welfare. he says this crap because he knows obama struggled in his youth, and his mom was on food stamps. mccain was born into a wealthy family, and he married cindy who is also rich. i think it is appalling to hear this redneck snob criticize a guy who got one scholarship after another until he ended up head of the harvard law review. it's called picking yourself up by your bootstraps.

  • When Obama speaks, people listen because he is a man of integrity, conviction and compassion. Something McCain and Palin aren't. No need to worry, on November 5 the twit we all know as Sarah Palin will become a footnote in history. And one more thing, how is "the hottest governor from the coolest state" not sexist?

  • McCain just stop your LYING already.

    You've admitted that you don't understand the working of the economy and we believe that but everything else you say is a flip flop LIE.

  • At least McCain doesn't censor his youtube comments.

  • What the voters of America need is for the Obama & McCain camps to quit the personal attacks & start having live debates every day or two so that the people can really understand each candidates policies & what it is exactly they have to offer to help save America. McCain offered months ago to meet with Obama in town hall debates but Obama turned him down. We the people need to demand it of them! It's our right. There are only a few short five weeks or so to Election Day!

  • OBAMA/BIDEN

    OSAMA/BINLADEN

    We need to break the code. The B and the S in Obama/Osama must be part of the clue as they are the only unique letters. And notice that there are three extra letters in Biden/BinLaden, which are NLA. Could it be that BS = NLA? Or how about this? If BS = Bullsheet; and NLA = Nefarious Liberal Americans; what does NLA + BS equal? Nefarious Liberal Americans full of Bullsheet! ;) C'mon laugh; it'll do you good. Vote McCain/Palin in November!

  • Oh Sarah.... Tell us some more LIES

  • Sarah tell us all about Pastor Muthie and his witch hunts

    Republican religious nuts are crazy

  • McCain/Palin = DOUBLE STANDARDS - DOUBLE TALK - DOUBLE TROUBLE!!

    I hope Americans realize the truth about the McCain/Palin ticket before it's too late!!

    We need a real change, because right now McCain has proven he just more of the McSame!! I say "THANKS BUT NO THANKS" to McCain & Palin in '08.

  • what do wolves have to do with this u bastards

  • Because they are the embodiment of the people investigating Sarah Palin.

    Like a pack of wolves seeking out "the prey".

  • John McCain and Sarah Palin continue to repeat lie after lie on the campaign trail.

    INDEPENDENTS FOR OBAMA

  • "independent" = wimpy liberal

  • Don't anyone worry Obama is LIGHTYEARS ahead, dont pay attention to the sad remains of the McCain support. The proof is right here on youtube. Look at the candidates pages (barackobamadotcom and johnmccaindotcom) Barack has 88,000 subscribers and 18million views!! McCain has 20,000 subscribers and just over 1million views... AMAZING ~OBAMA/BIDEN08~

  • SirCharlesDeKoy, the polls tell a dramatically different story. Obama and McCain and tied. This is a close race.

  • well then explain those nubers to me. I was never polled, i support Barack, exactly what percentage (and what groups are left out) of these polls? Just how accurate are they ya kno? It was just an observation i thought was startling about the number of views, it should have some impact considering their numbers are in the millions

  • Obviously the polls, they're from AOL. Where the only people who look there are suburban parents who want to keep their kids safe. In other words people who support McCain.

  • BINGO, this one's got it... good call

  • LOLOL SHE'S A WOMAN YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR HER, EVEN IF SHE'S A CREATIONIST, PRO-LIFE, ALASKAN MOOSE HUNTER! =D

    joke, vote Real change => Obama/Biden

  • McCain STOP LYING.

    The facts:

    if you earn $250,000 or less a year the Obama plan says that you'll get THREE times more of a TAX CUT than the McCain proposal.

    STOP THE McCain LIES.

  • Some of you libs are so delusional you don't even know what a normal person looks like anymore. I feel sorry for you (whether you like it or not).

  • As governor, Saraj Palin raised taxes on oil companies and rebated that tax to the residents of Alaska. This resulted in every Alaskan getting $1200. A family of 4 gets $4800. Technically it isn't lower taxes but it sure helps a family out like it is.

  • McCain called for heads to roll on Wall Street (maybe not those exact words, but it sums up the meaning). He's not happy with the economy either. I trust John McCain. He has proven his devotion & love for America & puts this country first. Putting country 1st is the "right" thing to do (sorry for the pun). I realize we must work in a global society, but we are also a unique people. I trust John with the job. I also trust Gov. Palin. I do not have that same faith in Obama.

  • Obama doesn't have to try and destroy Palin...She does it to herself everytime she opens her mouth.

    Also, wolves? Wow. Little bit of a stretch.

  • Which is funny becuase obama just got his lead back.

  • Sarah Palin is a great choice for VP! She has much more executive experience than Obama, and she's not a Washington insider. She's an independent thinker and a maverick, like John McCain. Vote for McCain/Palin, the reform ticket! Oh, and one more thing: She loves America!

  • I think you should re-assess what matters in this country right now: economy, education, healthcare.

    1. She is SO outside of Washington, she might as well be on another planet.

    2. Totally NOT an independent thinker. She clearly can't answer simple questions and relys on McCain. She's a pregrammed tool.

    3. She's probably closer to being a Ford Maverick than a literal one.

    4. A McCain/Palin reform ticket? No such thing and laughably so.

    Do not be fooled by the repub. distractions.

  • She Love America!? Oh, joy!!! Now I know who to really vote for, Toto--!!!

  • Obama usese tricks to get all of his oppenents out the race. Hope, change and rainbows.

  • Sorry, I still feel we should close the doors to your money making machine. Time to distribute the money to OUR own people in OUR COUNTRY. NO more imports to countries that don't allow our exports. Time to make cars in OUR country. You're just a traitor, that's what you're Knerjod, that's if you're an American living in Japan, and not a Japanese. Otherwise, sorry, but most of us won't support your island anymore! We're done opening our doors, if you guys don't open YOURS! We're done with MCSAME

  • Her most recent effort has been to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to remove the polar bear from the endangered species list, putting Big Oil before sound science. As unbelievable as this may sound, this actually puts her to the right of the Bush administration.

  • Wolves in this ad? As governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin has proposed paying a $150 bounty for the foreleg of each dead wolf. The aerial hunting program she champions has already killed nearly 800 wolves. At nearly every opportunity, Governor Palin has sided with Big Oil, mining companies, wealthy trophy hunters and other entrenched special interests in support of policies that would greatly harm the wild animals we treasure.

  • Experience. I BET! It shows greatly, we have been sinking because of it. Thanks but no Thanks. I rather someone new, educated, diplomatic and fresh. No more of those experienced in lying, destroying and brainwashing..Sorry, if you really care about your country, you should do us all a favor..RETIRED and live the last years in peace, perhaps Palin can assist with all her experience in praying for forgiveness. Or she can start by practicing motherhood. That's the kind of experience she needs..

  • Try again, Livyvy. Obama's bought & paid for by a corrupt democrat machine. He's the 2nd highest recipient of payola from Fannie Mae. He sought to delay US troop withdrawals in hopes that he could bring them home as president. He is a two-faced pol saying one thing in public, another in private. A rich man pretending to care about the poor while embracing corrupt friends is no man for president. He wants us to fund a welfare program for the world but doesn't support his own brother in Kenya. Wow

  • LOL! I heard about his brother BS. before. That's what you got against him to win? Nonsense arguments that I believe cause you say so? well, NO! I know better. Why don't you tell us real facts. How did Mccain's father in law got rich? Why he left his 1st wife? Or was he honest about being divorced when he re-married? Who are HIS FRIENDS? Welfare for the world, LOL! that's a good one. A billion was just sent to Georgia, oh, but we should support genocide right? You're an AMER in JAPAN, NO wonder.

  • Not at all, sir. Obama's the sponsor of SB 2433, a huge tax on Americans to be given to those paragons of virtue at the UN to administer. My point was that if he wants to give welfare to foreigners maybe he should start with his family. McCain's friends don't loot taxpayers or bomb US bldgs. Obama & his buds Johnson & Raines are up to their necks in Fannie Mae and Ayers belongs in jail. (btw, Americans overseas pay taxes & vote —me in Alaska for Palin the Magnificent ;-) Genocide in Georgia?

  • ---"My point was that if he wants to give welfare to foreigners maybe he should start with his family---". You also, by welfare to foreigners, must not like the $2 billion in foreign aid that is paid to Israel every year, as well as other countries? What has John McAmnesty done to address this? We all know Obama your Mama will spend like gangbusters, and is a phony. But what has John W. McCain, who supports the multi trillion dollar fiasco that is Iraq done to prove he isn't?

  • ha ha look at all the desperate obamatons. Your boy is going down. If NY and NJ are in play he is toast.

    But it's OK, it's better for the country that way.

  • I love how this ad is still up even after Factcheck ripped it apart, even though to be fair if they took down an ad because factcheck tore it apart, McCain would be adless, because all of his ads are full of lies.

  • CHRISTIANS? Thou shall not bear false witness...so STOP LYING and repent for your sins. Where is the honor? WWJD? This campaign is a disgrace and insult to any true believer of the bible and teachings of Jesus Christ. I will pray for you both and of course our country and our troops.

  • so I'm guessing McCain doesn't believe in hope then...

  • What a retarded ad for a retarded candidate

  • MCain is the worst possible choice for President.

  • <_<

    Interesting ad.

  • Ha, .... nice way to distract from the issues. Glad McCain is wasting his RNC money on ads like these instead of actually describing what he'll do to change anything.

    Looks like Obama has that market covered.

  • Is Obama a traitor,in violation of "The Logan Act"? Highly possible according to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari.

    NOBAMA!!!

  • NoObama...hell no McCain too.Republicans for Bob Barr.

    Vote for Barr instead of McCain.

    Barr 08

  • I believe this one has been roundly rejected as false by independent analysts.

    Come on McCain - what happened to running a clean campaign?  After 2000, I expected so much more from you. I'm disappointed.

  • Mcbush calls himself a war hero, but he was no hero. His nickname was crash because he was a poor student and a terrible pilot, downing 5 jets at a tremendous cost to taxpayers. The Vietnamese named him the song bird because he told them everything he knew, and he made over 30 videos ridiculing America as murders by blowing up schools and hospitals so that he would get special favors. There we're many heroes in Nam but Mcbush was not one of them. Watch John McCain (SongBird McCain) Traitor!

  • Guess what? I am glad he did because we are just learning about her...Are we just supposed to take McSame's word for it? Don't be fooled people. Please - for all of our sakes!!! She is not fit for VP - VERY BAD CHOICE!!!

  • Ya that's a good point. Everyone is focusing on denying the claim that Obama arranged for the "airdrop" but perhaps the better way to respond to this is by saying that an airdrop is justified given our total lack of knowledge regarding Palin's background. He should have sent 30,000 investigators instead of just 30. Still, that quote by John Fund is completely baseless. There are no sources confirming that that's what Obama did.

  • Lol. Fact check? You mean ridiculously incoherent ad check. The ad doesn't even make sense. The attacks on Palin that are allegedly false have nothing to do with investigating her background. The attacks in question are verbal, and were allegedly made in speeches given by Obama. By the way, John Fund, who wrote that quote in the journal, never cited ANY reliable sources and no independent source has confirmed the claim. Also, can I please see some proof that Obama is dropping in "the polls"?

  • Have you been paying attention to the news at all. McCain taking the lead has been a huge story for the past couple of weeks and it has shaken up Democrat faith in Obama's ability to clinch the election. I'm surprised you haven't seen any of this.

  • I misspoke. What I meant to say was: I'd like to see some PROOF that Obama is losing. Gallup polls may not be proof since they are daily polls and since so many people don't participate in them. Also some networks like to use their own "polls" to mislead people into thinking that the supposed gap is wider than it really is etc. Really the kind of proof I am asking for is impossible and perhaps that's unfair. Ultimately, the point is that there's no reason for Obama to worry, absent such proof.

  • I'm a lifelong democrat and a hillary supporter, but am disgusted the way the media & many democrats have been treating sarah palin. This is the same crap they did to hillary and I'm sick of it.

    I'll be supporting mccain and palin in november. sure sarah's experience may be a little light, but oboma is at the top of the ticket and has no experience. Yes fellow democrats you know that to be true. sarah may not have the exact same ideas as hillary, but who cares, no one agrees 100% of the time

  • I'm a democrat and I'll be the first to admit that Obama doesn't have a lot of experience. Is that what you're basing your choice on? I hope you're not voting for McCain just because of the treatment of Sarah Palin. If so, then you have become another media casualty. The Republicans want you to vote based on idiotic stuff like the lipstick on a pig remark rather than based on issues that REALLY matter. Won't you at least wait 'till the debates to make up your mind? Please wait!!

  • Alrighty, just for starters on Obama's outstanding character friends. 1. Reverend Wright 2. Reverend Pfleger 3. Tony Rezko 4. William Ayers 5. Michelle Obama 6. Louis Farrakhan 7. Bernadine Dohrn 8. The Black Panthers 9. Weather Underground 10. Khalid Abdul Muhammad 11. Bobby Seal 12. Huey Newton 13. Kwame Kilpatrick 14. Frank Marshall Davis
  • Some of those are guilt by association like Luis Farrakhan. It is stretching the truth to call Farrakhan a "friend" of Obama, and some of them aren't that bad at all, like reverend Wright. I listened to his whole sermon, the controversial one, and he didn't say anything that indicates he has a poor character. He is right that America has a brutal history of racism and genocide. In fact, America is still a pretty racist nation. Instead, why don't you start by listing Obama policies you don't like

  • anyone who thinks Rev Wright is a great american has character issues themselves///

  • First of all, no one said that Wright is a great American. I just said that some of what he said in his sermon, even though it was too extreme, did have a truthful basis, so you can't say just based on that sermon that Wright has a deplorable character. Second of all, if you're going to decide whether or not someone is a great American, you should at least provide criteria. What are the necessary and sufficient conditions for being a "great American"? Please tell us.

  • "First of all, no one said that Wright is a great American. I just said that some of what he said in his sermon, even though it was too extreme, did have a truthful basis, so you can't say just based on that sermon that Wright has a deplorable character."

    Please name the truthful basis the comment he made about the government inventing aids to kill black people comes from?

  • The AIDS comment had no truthful basis, that's why I didn't say that ALL his comments had a truthful basis. However, I can understand his distrust for the government, given things like the Tuskegee Syphilis experiment which DID happen. If the government can use blacks as guinea pigs in a way that kills, it wouldn't be surprising if they created a virus to wipe them out. I don't think they did that, but I can see why Wright might. I don't think he's lying about that, I just think he's mistaken.

  • What about his "ameriKKKa" comment? So you would agree that america as a whole is racist? Im guessing your also a racist since your part of "ameriKKKa".

  • if Wright was trying to say that America has been under the influence of the KKK, then he's right. America was under the influence of the KKK, and since the KKK is still around, there is certainly some part of the US that is still under its influence. Did Wright ever say that the majority of people in America are racist? I know he said that racism was how this country was founded, and that racism is deeply ingrained in American culture. I'm not sure he ever said that the majority is racist.

  • "if Wright was trying to say that America has been under the influence of the KKK, then he's right."

    Well he should of mentioned that the KKk is a very small minority in this country, just like the Black panthers and farrakan. When he calls america "ameriKKKa", he is referring to all of america. Why doesn't he point out that it was democrats who started the KKK and it was republicans who fought against slavery and against the KKK.

  • Wright never said that the term "ameriKKKa" refers to all of America. Even though the KKK is a minority in this country, that doesn't mean they weren't very influential. They were. Democrats did start the KKK but you have to realize that the terms "democratic party" and "republican party" don't refer to the same groups with the same set of values today as they did 50 years ago. Obama doesn't have to answer for the crimes of some racists that were called "democrats" many years ago.

  • Tlcambell-"Obama doesn't have to answer for the crimes of some racists that were called "democrats" many years ago.

    This from the party of reparations. The hypocrisy of the democratic party knows no bounds.

  • Are you saying that all democrats believe in reparations? Did you even know that Obama OPPOSES them? By the way, to speak of the hypocrisy of a party is to speak of the hypocrisy of the individuals in that party. It's NOT hypocrisy if one individual in the party holds a view that is contrary to a view of another member of that party. Why are you stereotyping? If you are a republican, should I say "the stereotyping and pigeonholing of the republican party knows no bounds?" just because of YOU?

  • by the way, even though you're wrong, your name is awesome.

  • This is so fucked up...

    Man, Karl FUCKING Rove is calling out the latest McCain ads - that's REALLY saying something strong about this campaign.

  • In the spirit of being balanced he also calls out Obama... They both have mud on their hands

  • let's be fair... Rove didn't call anyone a liar and he accused Obama of using shady tactics as well. Both parties are guilty

  • everyone blamed bush for the economy after CLINTON enacted NAFTA which gave our jobs to other countries ???democratic policies have failed at every step so the only way they can try to win is knocking down anything republicans do to help the economy ......

  • McCain = Bush 44 !!!!!!

    It will be certain "death" to America, economically, socially, and in every other way. How dishonorable he is, even Karl Rove calls him a LIAR !

  • The Democrats control Congress,Congress's approval rating in July 08? 9%,the worst in history!

    McCain*Palin

    Leadership we can trust!

  • So because Obama is doing a good job vetting her. (Which the McCain camp seems to have completely failed to do with the countless controversy's during her time in public office)

    I mean come on McCain has been putting out nothing but bullshit and when Obama tries to find information to counter it McCain tries to spin it so that it seems like Obama is the one doing the dirty campaign? Come on this ad is as hypocritical as it gets.

  • Democrats control Congress & Congress controls economic policy.

  • McCain makes a statement on the day that The Dow Jones loses 500 points:

    "The fundamentals of the economy are strong"

    Sounds like Bush in 2002, 2003 and 2004 saying "We're winning the war in Iraq"

    The facts remain:

    *Highest unemployment is 5 years.

    *The worst mortgage crisis since the Great Depression.

    *The U.S. has it's largest debt in U.S. history.

    *10 Trillion Dollars in debt under Republicans

    Take McCain on his word about not understanding how the economy works.

  • "I don't really understand the workings of the economy, nor do I have the expertise"

    - John McCain

  • The Dow Jones drops more than 500 points today.

    "The economy is fundamentally sound"

    - John McCain

    OUT OF TOUCH.

  • Mr. Ayers and his wife, the equally notorious Weatherman terrorist Bernardine Dohrn, hosted a crucial meet-the-candidate event in their Hyde Park neighborhood home in 1995 when Mr. Obama, also a Hyde Park resident, was sounded out by vital citizens, among them the retiring state senator Alice Palmer for the 13th District.

    In 1999, Mr. Ayers joined the Woods Fund of Chicago as a director and served alongside Mr. Obama
