"May spew more hate " ROFL. Obama and his moonies tore his own Party apart and now are doing the same to the Country.Everyone who disagrees with them and votes for soemone else is a "racist" He is the most divisive political figure since Nixon and his supporters,as a group, are totalitarian trash

Colin Powell turncoat to the Republican party

I wonder how in the world such a honorable man such as Colin Powell could endorse Obama. I wonder what screws Obama's camp are turning? It still won't get my vote. I don't trust Obama!!!!!!!! If elected he will have a government that owns banking and finace institutions like never before in history, a free wielding hand on the hard earned money made by Americans saved for their businesses and retirement, taz us to the grave and put us in the poor house just to give all of money to people who were to lazy to go to school, stay in school. get an education, get of their lazy asses, stop using drugs and go work!!!!!!!!! Do the hard working people of America have to pay for everyone's ignorance I think not. We have to vote for McCain!!!!!!! Obama's going to take all of our money and the hard working American people will be out of a retirement, taxed to death,

force to take what ever handouts Obama's government should decide that we can have.!!!!!!!! And the democratic congress will give him their blessing to do so.

Wake up folks before we end up with nothing. A people with nothing is easier to control!!! It was the democrats who conviently brought all of this mess to a head so as to manipulate the and prey the fear that the Republicans caused all of this. Get real!!!!

Obama's camp used Hillary and hates her too

What a terrible trick Obama played on Hillary Clinton. He used her to get all of her voter's support then dumped her and left her high and dry. He made a fool out her of in front of America. Basically because he was scared she would overshadow him but mostly because he, as a Muslim, will not take any direction or advice from a woman, because it will make him look bad and it goes against Muslim old female domination policies. He used Hillary Clinton and then coldly dumped her by not offering her the seat for Vice President. What a two faced jerk!!! Watch out females who hold offices, he'll make sure all of you will be out of office before its over. Our rights as females will be set back 500 years if Obama'selected!!!!!!!!!!

Liberals hate Palin more than Mccain

If you want to see extreme prejudice against someone just look at how these liberal bloggers treat Governor Palin. To liberals she is literally the Antichrist. When did being a pro-life woman become so bad. It seems like your a traitor to your gender if you take a stand against abortion. Sarah Palin is a decent public servant, if she was pro life and had a (d) next to her name, her and Hilary would have locked up this election. I think it's time for these liberals to tone it down. Your winning and you'll prolly win the election, so win gracefully. Most of you will probably be not needed in November. Take solace in the fact that you had the superior of two inferior candidates. Now is the time for the democrats to sow the wind, for years from now americans will reap the whirlwind.

Obama Supporters May Spew More Hate?

We've seen hatred and violence provoked by xenophobia and hatred here in America against racial minorities. Recently. We have thought police, people who want members of Congress investigated for un-American attitudes, namely agreeing with Obama. Riling up a crowd to the point is starts to shout traitor, and kill him is beyond the pale qualitatively. Some Neanderthal will think he's doing his white Christian patriots a favor by acting on that hatred. And all over half truths and worse.

Ayn Rand, where are you when we need you?

Ayn Rand was considered, in some respects, to be a real nut case gone overboard with capitalism gone mad! However, if you take the fundamental underpinnigs of her philosophy (the allegedly epic book "Atlas Shrugged") and apply them to today, we see that she had it at least mostly right.

We stand at the precipice of what is euphemistically referred to as the upcoming "super majority"; an Obama win and a filibuster-proof majority in Congress, all of the same party. If this happens, it will be short lived, lasting until the next election cycle to be exact.

The sad truth underlying society as a whole is that the more one deviates from natural selection, the more one creates an unsustainable societal variant that will decrease opportunity, peronal freedoms and justice for all.

Atlas may, in fact, have to shrug. It should be an interesting time in which to live.

RIDICULOUS

So you're quoting people from the internet comment boards as examples of "hate speech?"

Sarah Palin and her running-mate John McCain go out and speak in vailed tongues to people that they need to kill Obama if he wins because he's a terrorist like the ones who attacked the USA. They say he will make them unsafe, and they need to fear him for the "terrorists" he supports.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

"kill him" did NOT happen

The story was printed without any evidence or verification.

http://www.timesleader.com/news/breakingnews/Secret_Service_says_Kill_him_allegation_unfounded_.html

Agent Bill Slavoski said he was in the audience, along with an undisclosed number of additional secret service agents and other law enforcement officers and not one heard the comment.

....

He said the agency conducted an investigation Wednesday, after seeing the story, and could not find one person to corroborate the allegation other than Singleton [the reporter who wrote the story].

evidence?

You claim that Obama supporters are full of hate, and yet your best evidence is a mischaracterization of an attack on a John McCain SIGN, not a campaign EVENT. Burning a political sign isn't good or nice or reasonable, but it doesn't say much for your credibility that you equate it with an attack on people.

Obama thugs try to intimidate conservative donors

Pro-Obama Group Threatens Republican Donors

Friday, August 8, 2008 11:08 AM

By: Jim Meyers

A new left-wing organization that wants to help elect Barack Obama president is sending letters to nearly 10,000 major donors who contribute to Republican causes, threatening them with potential legal problems if they finance conservative groups.

The nonprofit organization, Accountable America, is even offering a $100,000 reward for information that leads to the criminal conviction or fines of at least $10,000 for violations of campaign finance laws or other statutes by a conservative group, according to The New York Times.

Accountable America is led by Tom Matzzie, former Washington director of the liberal activist group MoveOn.org, and its research director is Judd Legum, who served that role in Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

Matzzie called the organization’s effort “going for the jugular.” He told The Times, "We want to stop the Swift Boating before it gets off the ground.”

The warning letter being sent to potential donors “is intended as a first step, alerting donors who might be considering giving to right-wing groups to a variety of potential dangers, including legal trouble, public exposure and watchdog groups digging through their lives,” The Times reports.

If a conservative group do run ads attacking Obama, Matzzie says his group plans to run ads countering it exposing the donors behind the anti-Obama message.

Matzzie’s group has so far raised only $200,000, but he said he hopes to raise more than $500,000 by next week and $2 million overall.

Republican strategist Chris LaCivita doubts the group will succeed in scaring off donors, saying “they’re not going to be intimidated by some pipsqueak on the kooky left.”

Matzzie previously headed the Campaign to Defend America, which has run ads against Republican presidential candidate John McCain in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
