Closing Song

The Heart gals don't want Palin or the GOP to use their song. She disgusts them.
And they said "STOP"

So go get a copy of "Sara Smile", pictures of Palin, make a slide video and put that up on the usual web sites. Then let Hall and Oates go after their own fans for downloading it.

Sexy stuff.

The problem is more than William Ayers' Weather Underground bombings from 40 years ago. William Ayers preaches the same radical anti-America, anti-capitalism dogma from his position as a professor at the University of Illinois, Chicago. And Chicago Mayor Daley employed him as a teachers trainer for the public schools in Chicago. He indoctrinates the teachers who are in turn expected to influence their students with Ayer's radical views.

Michael Hall, you wrote: "Obama has been asked every question imaginable..." And: "Every aspect of Obama has been scrutinized about as much as humanly possible for the past two years minimum on a daily basis."

Not true! I have yet to hear any reporter ask Sen. Obama whether his 5-year mentor (1975-1979) Frank Marshall Davis--a Communist Party USA agitator and recruiter--ever recruited him to be a member of the CPUSA. And was Barack Obama ever a secret member of the CPUSA.

How can an individual be mentored by a communist for 5 years; study under the principals of Saul Alinsky, another communist; be mentored by the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. for 20 years, a Black Liberation theologist; and associate with other individuals who espouse anti-America and anti-capitalist views over the years; and NOT have some of these same beliefs?

Love it! McMaverick and Sarahcuda will turn politics-as-usual on its ear and reform Washington! Forgot the pretty speeches folks, this dynamic duo is our best chance at REAL change!

The people who so ardently support Palin are fools. Apart from the good people from Alaska, no one knows her. You have republican hype on one side, a lot of speculation on the other, and buried somewhere in ANWAR is the truth.

Luckily for me, all I need to know about her is that she believes creationism (intel. design) is valid science, is anti-choice, anti-gay, anti-sex education, pro-jihad (remember she thinks god ordained this war), doesn't believe humans play any part in global warming, is pro-oil dependency, graduated with a ba in journalism (after attending 6 schools in 6 years), has to cite her proximity to Russia as foreign experience, has already been caught in several bold faced lies, will not interview with the press (at least not until her brain training is done), she is under investigation for abuse of power, and she and her husband both have ties to a secessionist group in Alaska. These are things that have all been verified, and total result = lunatic. Paired with unstable McCain the gambler, she spells disaster for the nation.

Woody,

I won't mention Pat Robertson if you don't mention Ludacris.

Who cares about the music, honestly? You want to talk about music, then fair is fair. Let's talk about the Ludacris lyrics:

"Paint the White House black and I'm sure that's got 'em terrified

McCain don't belong in any chair unless he's paralyzed"

Charming. Yeah, I know Obama "denounced" the song. Let's not forget before the song was released Obama was on record saying he was a Ludacris fan. What do you think he really thinks about it behind closed doors? Speaking of denoucing ...

jmc663 says:

"THAT is the exact problem the Repubs have with Ayers. He is educated the poor and disadvantaged."

Are you serious? The problem that any American, ANY American should have with Ayers is that he is an UNREPENTANT terrorist. UNREPENTANT! To this day he still believes in his cause, still believes they didn't bomb enough, would still do it all over again and then some. What does it matter if Obama denounces Ayers' America-hating attempts at murdering the innocent? Ayers himself does not! Would you work with such a person on anything?

Ask yourself why this story has not been properly vetted. Why doesn't 60 minutes or 20/20 do a complete, historical timeline of their association? Why won't Ayers speak to the media about their relationship?

Sure, he's found safe haven in the fairy land of academia and in your mind he's "educating the poor". Mussolini made the trains run on time, too. It doesn't excuse the evil he perpetrated on the masses.

yet rick davis insinuated this morning that "the barracuda" isn't going to be very open to the press to do interviews

************
Has this EVER happened before? A VP Nom is not interviewed by the press?? This shows just how unqualified she is to be VP. She is not even qualified to give an unscripted interview to answer some hard questions. Pathetic!

yet rick davis insinuated this morning that "the barracuda" isn't going to be very open to the press to do interviews

you know that evil press who actually may ask her a question tather than her acting on stage with someone else's words.

could it be that she is called the "barracuda" for her knowledge and judgment as well as her "faux hawk" imagery.

he has done a lot for the upliftment of Education in Chicago.

Owen,

THAT is the exact problem the Repubs have with Ayers. He is educated the poor and disadvantaged. Helping the unwashed masses is a taboo. How can you exploit them if they have an education??

Willem,

Why not just take a moment to go in factcheck and educate youself about what connected Barack Obama to Bill Ayers and Antoin Rezko instead of amplifying the misleading statements Mccain's Surrogates have been throwing all over the blogosphere.

It would amaze you to findout that Bill Ayers has done a lot to uplift the down-trodden in the State of Chicago than all the Politicians put together.

Check out annenberg project and see the efforts that Bill Ayers and Barack Obama made to ensure quality education in Chicago Public Schools.

That is what connects them.

Lauren,

Well I don't know the situation with the music, but nobody's perfect.

(except for you know who!)

A little to perfect. :-)

Oh, I get it. Writing posts under my name?

You think that is honorable?

I just don't get it why McCain uses songs illegally. Only people like me are allowed to download music for my IPOD illegally.

Palin will not face journalists and she's flown back to Alaska I hear, "to spend time with her family?" I guess.

Where is she afraid of? Questions? Doesn't the American public have a right to now where SHE stands for, instead of what a Bush Speechwriter wishes she stands for? Does the McCain campaign really think the public is willing to give a complete unknown hockeymom the keys to the WH?

I was actually just doing it to convince ex-Hillary supporters that McCain is the better choice.

Mr. (are you even a real person)

Willem van Oranje

(And i am not part of the GOP! I am an American!) :-)

McCain is already being sued by Jackson Browne for unlawful use of one of his songs and has been reprimanded by other artists for failing to get permission to use their music. This definitely reflects more than just ignorance; he shows an offensive Bush-like disdain for laws that protect the rights of others.

Why has john learned not to use people's music without permisson?

I don't understand why people answer the question about Palin's lack of experience by pointing to Obama's lack of experience. Obama has been in the public spotlight for 2 years. Obama has been asked every question imaginable by every Town Hall get together, media interview, 30-40 debates from every possible source about every possible personal, political, moral perspective. Every aspect of Obama has been scrutinized about as much as humanly possible for the past two years minimum on a daily basis. The result of this process is that we know quite a bit about Obama. When put before the American voting public to make a preliminary decision about his goals, dreams, and beliefs, he was found by a majority of voting Democrats to be the Democratic choice for President. While he might not be YOUR choice for President, he is the Democratic party choice. We have been raking Obama over the coals for over 2 years looking for flaws in his character and his purpose. Like him or not, he has weathered the storm and we know pretty much what he is all about. Now compare this to what we know about Palin. Compare a reservoir to a glass of water. There is no comparison to Obama in terms of what we know about Palin's ability to serve as VP. I'm not talking about whether she is a good person or not. I am not talking about whether she will one day be qualified to be President. I like her and alot of what she says. But there are alot of people in the US I like. I am sure you know lots of pretty neat people too. I don't know one person in my circle of friends who is qualified to run our country. I mean I think it would be neat if a couple of my friends could run the country some day because once in a while they have real good ideas. But let's be real. These days are not our best days. We are in real trouble on many fronts foreign and domestic. If I had suggested a month ago that a person with NO Washington experience would be our best person to fix ANY problem confronting our country, you would have laughed me out of the city. If I had suggested a month ago that some unknown person that nobody knew would be a great choice for VP of ANY party, everyone would have collapsed in laughter. I imagine that I would have also insulted an impressive list of potential VP candidates starting with Hillary, Leiberman, Ridge, Romney, and Giuliani. These are proven hardball politicians that can fix systems if given the support and position to make it happen. That is all we can hope for every election. More importantly, this election needs our best to step forward and make it happen regardless of the party that wins. This is not the time to roll the dice, close our eyes, make a wish, and hope it comes true. I thought that everyone knew this already. The next 4-8 years might be the turning point for our country's position in the world. Technology, world trade, and the impact of the internet in the world are like tidal waves forming the "perfect wave" that can shape the world like chess pieces if systems collapse and countries emerge and terrorist forces merge. We need leaders who lead from the front. We need thinkers and dreamers who can shape the old with the new. We need a new diplomacy that knows how to talk...and listen. I am a senior citizen and I have an open mind about who I pick to lead me. I am not ignorant and I am not stupid and I am not easily fooled. Personally I was insulted with McCain's nomination of Palin considering our desperate times. This choice is the person that will "complete" him for the difficult job ahead? In an emergency, don't send me to a restaurant to cook when I don't even know where the forks are! I am sorry that Palin finds herself in this mess through no mistake of her own except to be absolutely swept away by the opportunity. Some day, maybe. But McCain has created a horror story for the GOP where everyone has to "make nice" rather than accept that someone has tampered with their "grape juice".
