Ridge: Obama Hangs with Ayers, McCain Hangs with POWs

[sweetandexcellent]

Tom Ridge must have got religion for he is now changing his tune. Now he has nothing but good words for President Obama. For Cheney, ah, not so good!

[sfortuna]

Tom Ridge, who as first head of Homeland Security helped draft proposals to suspend Posse Comitatus, using military troops to round up people including peaceful protestors and who argued for suspension of habeus corpus, giving the president unlimited authority to redefine tortue and 'domestic terrorism' without revue, warrant or recourse.  Tom and his ilk have done more damage to this country than 2000 Bill Ayers did with Black Cat fireworks 40 years ago.

[PictureThis001]

What a crummy load of waffle. These cu*ts are desperate to score a hit and the Ayers thing just ain't connecting. Why? Cos it's irrelevant.

[homesick126]

Ridge should shut up

[Cotoredondo]

Freedom of speech, First Amendment.

[snooks73]

It is disappointing and scary for the former leader of Homeland Security, Governor Tom Ridge, to be so careless with his insinuations. As the chief of Homeland Security, if either Senator Obama or Mr. Ayers posed a risk to this country, Tom Ridge would know all about it. It is disappointing to hear people I once respected for their service to our country, forsake their integrity to keep a Republican in the White House.

[MMS747]

Although Charles Keating served 5 years in prison, he was not a POW.

[2468grate]

if you are on fox you're not worth a shit.

Get real.

[McCainHasAlzheimers]

A disgraced criminal given a platform on Faux News? How utterly shocking. Yawn.

[kitkat4Hope]

McCain hangs out with Phil Gramm, GW Bush, Charles Keating both cost taxpayers Billions of dollars for their deregulation and fraud.

McCain also pals around with Princess Palin who abuses power and violates her state's ethics laws. McCain sure is a winner!

[pipicat111]

Throughout his Senate career, McCain has quietly sponsored and pushed into federal law a set of prohibitions that keep the most revealing information about these men buried as classified documents. Thus the war hero people would logically imagine to be a determined crusader for the interests of POWs and their families became instead the strange champion of hiding the evidence and closing the books.

[mdpk1]

McCain.. Stock market crash of 1987.. NEAR PROSECUTION

[bdoz58]

Mccain hangs out and countinues to support George W Bush who has done more harm to this country than Ayers ever had.

[hmangum1]

"Obama was training the army of .. organizers who participated in [ACORN's] drive against Chicago's banks.

More than that, Obama was funding them. As he rose to a leadership role at Chicago's Woods Fund [Ayers], he became the most powerful voice on the foundation's board for supporting ACORN and other community organizers. In 1995, the Woods Fund substantially expanded its funding of community organizers - and Obama chaired the committee that urged and managed the shift.

NYPost 9/29/2008

[misledlestat]

All of the mccain supporters sould be ashamed of thier selfs.

All they do is promote hate not change is that what you what?

[jpoling33]

In one year, the stock market has gone from 14,100 to 7900 at one point today. . . and folks are talking about Ayers, Keating 5 and Palin's baby. Utter nonesense.

[jpoling33]

True patriots don't use patriotism as a sword to hurt fellow Americans. Patriotism is not Lee Greenwood or chants of USA or slogans like "country first". Patriotism is love of country and I will not question any American--let alone any of the candidates' patriotism. McCain has served 4 years in the Senate with Obama. He knows him fine adn that is why this evening he started to cease the flames of hatred and attacks on patriotism. He is too good of a man for this type of nonesense.

Watch what happens with all this stuff

[coleon8]

Obama was only eight years old when Ayers lived in his neighborhood....sheesh!

[snooks73]

That is not accurate. Obama was 8 when Ayers was with the Weathermen. They both currently reside in Hyde Park, a neighborhood in Chicago near the University of Chicago. A lot of intellectuals and college professors live in Hyde Park. I think Ayers himself is associated with University of Illinois at Chicago and his wife is associated with Northwestern University (campuses in Chicago and Evanston, IL). Both Obamas have worked for U of Chicago.

[coleon8]

Thanks I saw a special on it yesterday...a real life domestic terrorist at a Univerity.He wasn't formally charged or was he aquitted?Hell if he can get a job my tattoos and braids shouldnt matter.

[Cjax54]

He slices,dices,spins,& twists the truth... McCain is a "Mav-Erratic"!! He is counting on Americans being ignorant of facts but his ship is sinking & the lobbyist rats running his campaign of shame are going down with it. OBAMA & BIDDEN 2008!!!

[Ithallis]

Their is also some POW's that McCain have praised. They think he's a immature man only striving to get a higher office than his father. And he put a lid on his records, he also dismissed finding out what happened to the rest of the POW's and MIAs in Vietnam when in that committee. What ever you find on Obama it comes back 10 times to McCain, the difference being Obama want to talk policy instead of crushing McCain's personality.

[GretchenDawntreader]

Ayers was a terrorist when Obama was EIGHT.

This is such a non issue and reflects the desperation of McCain and Palin that all they can do in the last month before the election is try to slander Obama.

[gobee53]

Ridges face is real flat because he spends his time pressing it against the "Gloryhole" in the Republican Senate mens' room.I guess it beats coming up with excuses for the performance of the Republicans de-regulated Stock market. Trust the C.E.O.s? Brillant.

[danthemango]

they couldn't get any dirt to stick to obama, it's like he lubed up. So we have to use the dirt of those around him to drag him down to the level of a real politician.

[mercsan117]

HAHHAHHAHAH That was really funny, the lubed part.......but its true, they have no real dirt or anything so they result to insults

[savanny1976]

Desperate republicans. Here's my question:If Obama has anything to do with this local terrorist idea , how the fuck he became a senator? he has been a senator for 2 fucking years, before

you become a senator a back ground check will

done, if the government had the smallest doubt

he share the believe of any radical thinking

he would never get the job!!! so cut the

bull shit and work on fixing our broken Economy. I had a respect for McCain, after

this cheap move I lost my respect!!!

[coleon8]

Bill Ayers or is it Roy Ayers...lol!

[mcalien24]

i love roy ayers...the freaky deaky, the funky dunky.

[PersonalJesus348]

Ridge is just mad he lost to a woman for VP.

[dnbjarhead]

How 'bout mccain hanging with charles keating, an economic terrorist? being funded by him, and passing legislation for further deregulation so he can continue to rape and pillage from hard working americans for his own financial gains? hmmmm? sounds a bit more of a significant relationship than sitting down on a board once with a guy that did something bad 30 years ago but whatever. Obama doubled his lead and its obvious people are sick of mccains negative rhetoric.

[coleon8]

mcains a minibush wit a voice like ronald reagan. Hes gonna trickle down your buttocks

[coleon8]

mcain hangs wit deeze nuts

Save America vote Mccain

[batttyboi]

If you think the Democrats are Socialist then you don't know what Socialism is. Maybe you should ask all the grannies stuck in traffic jams at the Canadian border buying life saving drugs how bad they think Socialism is. Your CRAPATLIST system has worked so well that you are having to put in $1trillion+ into your 'perfect markets'. Well done but you could have given every yank a home for that and educated them.

[batttyboi]

well this so called 'terrorist' is happily living and educating in America. Lets not forget that Washington was a terrorist. Mcain admitted in 1999 that he was a war criminal as were the other so called POW'S that invaded and comitted mass murder in Vietnam. He also denounced America after just 3 days and gave them all the info. he knew and as a result, many soldiers were killed. he is a coward, an idiot and an ego maniac. he doesn't give a FUCK about you or the world.

[craftmister]

Fox needs 2 pull their lips off of Mccains Rear!!!

[TheBiIIieJoe]

as does every other news media off of obama's socialist ass

[halfass0369]

hannityforpres- you have been posting this same comment on just about every video. Not only is it ignorant and racist, it's spam. I'm sure asshat Hannity would be proud of you.

[Kuth70]

How appropriate that a racial comment would be made by a user with the name "hannityforpres". Not very far from the real hannity's view I think.

Yes, lets let the racist people choose a president not because of his skill, but the color of his skin.

I know I know, here comes the "muslim terrorist" comments next. Wow, stupidity is everywhere.

Fits right in line with John McCain's though of "hey women, you like hillary? this one has a uterus too!!! Vote for her!!!"

Dear God, help this country

[purplez69]

The Palins are still Palling around with Separatist in Alaska.So give me a break.Logon to salon dote com and read David Talbot piece on the Palin's association w/Anti-Americans Joe Volger&John McPhee.They were part of the anti-American secessionists party.Todd Palin was an actual member of the AIP separatist group.Why isn't more being told about Sarah and Todd's association to this party? Obama association with Ayers is LAME compare to Todd and Sarah's.McCain doses not care about Veterans!

[flashy7789]

Not to mention Palin and her connection to her pastor, who believes in witches! I wish people would talk both about the Palin's association with secessionists and about her pastor! You know, her pastor actually started out in Kenya, where he accused a woman that he didn't like of being a witch. Then he had her driven out of town by having police raid her house and townspeople threatening her. He is a real terrorist in the sense that he drove that woman out of town by inciting a mob against her.

[OneRelentlessMind]

So you know, witches do exist, they're called Wiccans, and I'm one of them. But we have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with Christianity, or the devil, or evil, or eating babies, or whatever nut jobs like to say about us.  Look us up, you don't have to believe to get educated.

But yes, forget her pastor, he is a terrorist! I hope someday fox will collapse in on itself...

[Wisegeorge]

Oh, that explains the "My Fellow Prisoners" moment. I didn't know he had been hanging out with those guys and introducing them all over his social circle as "My Fellow Prisoners", now it makes sense. Oh, and Sarah, your moustache is filling in nicely but you need to trim your nose hairs.

[corbaman]

Why is McCain in a Presidential runoff with someone with terrorist connections? I think it shows poor judgement for McCain to be involved in a Presidential race with someone with terrorist connections. By association, it means McCain himself has terrorist connections to the second degree. I personally wouldn't be involved with terrorist like this - I don't know why McCain would be.

[andrews510]

GREAT article in Rolling Stone this week about a.) McCain relying upon his family name to get him through the Navy and to help him survive in Nam and b.) the fact that he's a total asshole. Dude, he was boinking Cindy McCain after his wife became a cripple from a car accident. They were living together months before the divorce was finalized. The more I learn about the guy, the more I despise him, and I voted for him in the NH primary in 2000. Ugh. He sucks.

[Dealyplaza]

She's done. President Obama! Yes!!!!!

[sparkynm156]

What I saw Sarah do in Alaska was pretty amazing. She didn't know how this are done in big politics but she has a cabinet of people to help figure out how to get done what she wants to get done. She put her foot up the ass of big business and politics and excited our economy and proven she isn't in it for the money but to make change. An average American in the White House? maybe something will change? Just like any of you who say "If I were President, I would..."

[yhtc1964]

How come there was no mention about Sarah Palin's connection with the Alaska Independence Party in the media? She actually spoke in their convention in as recent as 2008. Her husband was a member until recently. I do not understand why this was not brought up in the media?

[bigsoundz]

McCain should then explain why he has a 20% approval rating among veteran groups.

Even far more decorated POWs, held in Vietnam with McCain, stated that McCain is an opportunist who has milked the cash cow of sympathy after Vietnam.

[JACKtheRIPP3R189]

Not to mention that McCain was incompetent. He crashed 4 planes. If you crash ONE plane they generally investigate it to death and if it turns out to be your fault you get canned. He isn't a hero, he's just a shitty pilot who got shot down and was then careless enough to get caught.

[flashy7789]

such bigotry and ignorance, reichsmarshal

[cansurfer1]

Well, If Faux Noise is saying it, it is now a proven lie.

[shaberahamza]

ridge's and mccain's filthy stinky ass needs to kicked as hard as possible so that he cannot poo anymore...

[wctwctwctwct]

Since everything else has already been said...I'm tired of watching McCain ramble on about being a POW and rallying the inept voters of America. McCain was ultimately released during the war because of his status. About 80 other men in his camp stayed and died there. Just a fun fact for soldiers, veterans, and pow's. Quit with the patriotism bullshit, it's overdone.

[lafmassive]

If you can't see how obviously desparate this is on the part of the republicans including FOX than you're not paying attention. McCain said earlier in the race that he would run a "clean" campaign and he wouldn't resort to mud-slinging. He even downplayed the association arguments when Hannity tried to force feed him the rhetoric. Now that it looks more and more that Obama will win, they are pulling any and everything out of their asses to try to scare the public. It's not gonna work.

[dao3rd]

what about obama's relationship with rev. Wright?

[flashy7789]

He has denounced Rev. Wright for making those racist comments. Wright may be racist, but he's not a terrorist.

Meanwhile, Palin has not denounced her pastor who believes in witches and, in fact, she credits him with helping her become the governor of Alaska. He got his start in Kenya when he accused a woman that he didn't like of being a witch. He incited a mob against her and had her driven out of town. HE is a terrorist.

[hahachana]

fair and balanced!

[flashy7789]

This is so ridiculous. Obama is not close with Ayers. He worked with him on some board of a committee and they live in the same city. How does that make them close?

It's just a desperate ploy by McCain and Palin to criticize Obama's character, and the people really don't care for these sort of negative, personal attacks. They want to know who will help this economy, and since McCain doesn't have a good answer to reassure people, he goes on attack mode instead. It's time to stop fear tactics!

[crtnyevans]

yeah i know. that would mean that every person in chicago had a close relationship with Ayers.Can someone tell me how they hung out? When i think of hanging out i think going to get a drink after work or something. Can someon show me proof of them hanging out?

[flashy7789]

LOL, crtnyevans! if Katie Couric asked Palin that question during an interview, Palin would say, "I'll have to find some proof and bring it back to ya!" (Just like when she couldn't think of any examples where McCain supported regulation on Wall Street.)

[crtnyevans]

lol yeah probably

[observingworld]

Was John Mccain a POW? S**t I never knew that!

Is there any circumstance where McCain won't exploit that.

[demdebsf]

Why do POWs and veterans hate McCain? McCain stops families of MIAs to get information - he stops the declassification of POW/MIA records. What is he trying to hide? He has a bad record on veteran issues. Obama was invited on that Board by a conservative Republican, a former Reagan-appointed Ambassador who started the educational org. He also invited Ayers on the board. By the time Obama met Ayers, no one talked about his past. Obama does not pal around with Ayers. Palin is a sick puppy.

[middlekk]

Moron.

[jaif4]

Tom Ridge, Hangs out with Mark Foley that makes him a child molester.

Tom Ridge hangs out with president Bush that makes his approval less than 23% the lowest in history, you would be the last person speaking about the future, sir.

[ihfek]

Republican tool.

[Cornplanter]

Ridge is a dick. I wonder if McCain was proud of the relationship he had with the other members of the Keating Five?

[eks56]

Tom Ridge, one more good reason to vote for Obama.

[clevelandcrew]

What these people dont understand is that its not about John hanging out with pow's or obama hanging out with ayers when he was 8 yrs old!! This election is about us, the american people. They dont get that. Brady Quinn spoke at mccains speech here yesterday in cleveland...he didnt say one positive thing about what mr mccain will do for us on the economy. In fact the word economy or middle class NEVER came out of his mouth! ONCE THEY LOSE THE ELECTION, MAYBE THEY WILL REALIZE ITS NOT ABOUT THEM!

[Mychaels]

Obama was seven. He has explained this to them. Guilt by association. McCain has ties with George Bush. Does that mean he also wants to be the worst president in United States history? That is a question that deserves an answer!

[commonman80]

Obama was 7 years old when Ayers was a protester. I guess Obama Jumped on his Tricycle, Turned of the Mickey Mouse Club, and went out with Ayers to, STICK IT TO THE MAN. But not until he finished is Ovaltine, and had his 2:00 oclock nap.

[jonnobabylon]

Sarah & Todd Palin have both been involved with the AIP (Alaska Independence Party). AIP's goal is for Alaska to break away from the US. Documented, confirmed: during 1995-2002 Todd Palin was a registered member of the Alaskan Independence Party. Sarah Palin wasn't just palin' with a registered secessionist -- she'd been sleeping with 'em. Pass this video along! Todd & Sarah Palin: secessionist Alaska Independence Party (please read "more info"!)

[flang]

the pows dont like john

how ironic

[malkinzakunt]

That's right. These fuckwads realize the ride on the Gravy Train is almost over and they've studied how words like "terrorist" resonate with other fuckwads, so they are in Panic Mode and will try anything to stay in power, including but not limited to bringing down the world economy.

[TeleShaman]

He explained this months ago when Clinton brought it up... This has been vetted already. No need to re-hash old news unless Faux Noise got something new to add to it.. Which they don't. The only 'ties' the two have is that they belonged to the same anti-poverty group committee. AND heres a big one... a $200 campaign contribution to him when running for State Senator. Plus last time I checked Ayers isn't currently in Jail.

[cromagnan]

NOBODY LIKES THIS GUY, NOBODY CARES WHAT HE HAS TO SAY. If you are a voter under the age of 35, you prob don't know who this guy is. Not because your stupid, but because he gets no air time. These leeches have been sucking off your tax dollars for years, and now that the free ride is almost over, they are in PANIC mode.

[OneWold]

What else would you expect from the "Fix" news chanel, No where in the democtratic world that a political party has a propoganda network that twist the facts 24/7 but the GOP. Thank God most Americans are smarter than that....I will confess that I will watch Fox on 11/05 to see how well they will take their ass kicked.

[KillaRican814]

Obviousy getting very desperate. Pffh please the media revolves around John McCain being a "Hero" but the ones who served with him know otherwise. Watch the interview with vets who served with McCain they despise him because they can see through his bullshit and know him more personally.

[hollyhoodjoe123]

Its not an important relationship. The Republicans are getting shocking desperate. They looking more desperate than Hillary, and their true colors are showing.

McCain-Palin do not want to play this "guilt by association" game. Trust me.

[ProlefeedTV]

Super POW cures cancer!

POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW!

Yay for Super POW!

[entropyfu]

The Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) released its report cards on members of the 110th Congress. Grading was based on legislation that affected veterans and their families.

Sen. John McCain of Arizona earned a D on the report card, while his Democratic opponent, Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, finished the term with a B. Grades were based on nine votes covering a range of issue including veterans health care, the new GI Bill, mental health and support for homeless veterans.

[empirical22]

Obama HAS addressed these "relationships" as being nothing. He's explained himself. Why does he need to keep repeating himself? He realizes it's time to move on to actual ISSUES rather than these empty political attacks. It's complete desperation from the right.

[olimpicgames2008]

go obama

[jnycnuk]

When he came home and saw that Carol was not the beauty he left behind, he started running around on her almost right away. Everybody around him knew it.

Eventually he met Cindy and she was young and beautiful and very wealthy. At that point McCain just dumped Carol for something he thought was better.

This is a guy who makes such a big deal about his character. He has no character. He is a fake. If there was any character in that first marriage, it all belonged to Carol
