Obama for President......... VICTORY!!!!!!!!!! (767)
McCain's attacks fuel dangerous hatred
By Frank Schaeffer
October 10, 2008
John McCain: If your campaign does not stop equating Sen. Barack Obama with terrorism, questioning his patriotism and portraying Mr. Obama as "not one of us," I accuse you of deliberately feeding the most unhinged elements of our society the red meat of hate, and therefore of potentially instigating violence.
At a Sarah Palin rally, someone called out, "Kill him!" At one of your rallies, someone called out, "Terrorist!" Neither was answered or denounced by you or your running mate, as the crowd laughed and cheered. At your campaign event Wednesday in Bethlehem, Pa., the crowd was seething with hatred for the Democratic nominee - an attitude encouraged in speeches there by you, your running mate, your wife and the local Republican chairman.
Shame!
John McCain: In 2000, as a lifelong Republican, I worked to get you elected instead of George W. Bush. In return, you wrote an endorsement of one of my books about military service. You seemed to be a man who put principle ahead of mere political gain.
You have changed. You have a choice: Go down in history as a decent senator and an honorable military man with many successes, or go down in history as the latest abettor of right-wing extremist hate.
John McCain, you are no fool, and you understand the depths of hatred that surround the issue of race in this country. You also know that, post- 9/11, to call someone a friend of a terrorist is a very serious matter. You also know we are a bitterly divided country on many other issues. You know that, sadly, in America, violence is always just a moment away. You know that there are plenty of crazy people out there.
Stop! Think! Your rallies are beginning to look, sound, feel and smell like lynch mobs.
John McCain, you're walking a perilous line. If you do not stand up for all that is good in America and declare that Senator Obama is a patriot, fit for office, and denounce your hate-filled supporters when they scream out "Terrorist" or "Kill him," history will hold you responsible for all that follows.
John McCain and Sarah Palin, you are playing with fire, and you know it. You are unleashing the monster of American hatred and prejudice, to the peril of all of us. You are doing this in wartime. You are doing this as our economy collapses. You are doing this in a country with a history of assassinations.
Change the atmosphere of your campaign. Talk about the issues at hand. Make your case. But stop stirring up the lunatic fringe of haters, or risk suffering the judgment of history and the loathing of the American people - forever.
We will hold you responsible.

Indyfella: Now google "convictions Acorn voter fraud" and post all those 20 or 30 pages. I'll check back in a week.
Well those have nothing to do with this Election and what has been done to date...or Obama....now obviously he has not done the things he has been accused of because...for this election...there is no evidence of voter fraud...past convictions have nothing to do with Obama...even when he paid acorn for their services....it had nothing to do with voter registration....so he can't be tied to any of it....the previous convictions rest on the heads of those who were dishonest enough to break the law...which has nothing to do with this election....

I would vote for any Democrat who could truly create "Equal Distribution of Wealth". I would then sit on my fat butt like our Congressmen/women, collect the same size paycheck, have the same healthcare and be able to fly around on my private jet spending money like it was water.... Until then, it aint gonna happen.

sorry Hugs....the got out of state college students coming into OH and voting.....having it get processed as a vote. That is a process fraudulent vote........also places all the election staff and the student voted......up for felony charges for voter fraud charges.
That oath and signature the election staff make that says....we have conducted this election seeing that fraud did not occur. Places them on the hook when it happens.
You are going to see recount, after recount, after recount, after recount, after recount.....maybe till 2012 on this one. Each recount they will try make a paper trail from the cast vote to the registeration.....that are on the roles that are bad.....then to toss the vote. But is an impossibility to get them all at this point.

But Hugz......we must remember that Bush is the worst person in the world, the dumbest person on earth, likes to see babies die and wants us all to die from global warming. And you're sourcing someone close to Bush.

No...I am saying that the man is a Republican...it was quoted in that article that he worked for Bush on this Voter Fraud stuff....it goes to the Prosecutors experience in this stuff as well as the fact...he has no agenda...so don't think if there was some evidence that he could link Obama to...he wouldn't do it...but it's not there....and I view him as being fair in that respect to admit that....and not to try to build some case based on a farce and not evidence.....So none of th is goes to Bush...just the prosecutors experience when it comes to Voter Fraud.....

Skybow: I know just what you mean, I keep trying to be open but each side has become very polarized. Each will only listen to their sources not consider there might be a different side or even tolerating someone disagreeing with them.
After the election, whoever wins I hope we can all get over ourselves, come together and work to solve our problems.

I think that'll be like wishing in 1 hand......and ~~~~~. I'm sure it'll be like the togetherness of the past 8 years.

Do you wonder if Obama could be on Methadone....since he refuses to release his medical records? That just hit me. Cocaine history...no records made public.
Just a thought...
