Political Punch

Sexism is obviously not a conservative problem. Nor is it a liberal problem. it's a problem that invades our collective conscious. I think it's very telling that the most efficient/effective way to discredit a female politician is by using a word that is the gendered equivalent of a racial slur.

No matter where you stand politically, you should stand against this shirt. This isn't just an attack on Sarah Palin; this is an attack on the integrity of women and humanity.

I've only seen one person wearing this shirt, and certainly not all liberals are thinking this way.

I think the t-shirts are funny for one reason only. What should be on their t-shirts... some rational argument? LOL.
You can't convince Sarah P. supporters that they are wrong. That is obviously not the point of the shirts.

John McCain will lose this election because of the McCain/Feingold legislation. Oh... the irony. Let me ask you this, how was that good judgment? hmmm

I'm an Obama supporter and I think these shirts are disgusting and disappointing. Where do we draw the line as decent people? What next? "Obama is a Ni***r" t-shirts? What is the main difference? The level of ignorance is amazing. This is not a Republican vs. Democrat issue. These shirts just radically cross a line regardless of your political leanings. To claim that Democrats as a whole think these shirts are acceptable is as absurd as the t-shirts themselves.

How does this type of display of the 1st Amendment prove positive to anyone? Seriously, what is their point? I can protest and be as offensive and ignorant as I want because it's my right? Let me where a shirt with the words Obama and the *-word and watch how quickly I get arrested.

I am shocked that there is anyone defending the people wearing these shirts. The hypocrisy is unbelievable. If this had been conservatives at a Hillary Clinton rally it would have been front page for days and would have lead every news program on TV. You know it's true. The media in this country should be deeply, deeply ashamed.

T-Shirts? Oh my!

This only goes to show one thing.....
it's slam 'um hard on both sides of the aisle!! It's not about what they wear or signs; it's about the racist, hate, and intolerable comments from many of the voters!!! An effegy of a hanging of a black man is not racist????
What's good for the goose is just as good for the gander!!!
Grow up people, it's bad politics, but that's the way it is!! Besides, didn't MCShame call his wife that himself??!!
Goes to show what kind of president he would be!!!!

Sexism and degradation of women is perfectly acceptable to liberals as long as it's directed at a conservative woman.

The left like to preach tolerance, they sure don't practice it.

The tee shirts of the four people are not the only ones that are no appropreiate. The others say vote bro not H-. Obama needs to come out and tell his supporters that this is not the type of campain he wants to run. Both sides have fans that have gone over the limit of accepablity. Both candadites have budgets that will put us farther into debt. However, I wonder if we elect a democrate and have control of the congress in the hands of democrates how much further than just obama's economic plan will we be in debt? We need checks and balances in government. I wish we had someone that knew how to run a business, not just borrow money to run. I feel sorry for our children and grandchildren, becuase their taxes are going to be huge. And Obama's relief for taxes last for only a short time. I'm sure McCain's is probally the same. I really fell sorry for the one who wins becuase what ever they do will be taken apart by the media.

I used to support Obama because I believed he would give us the change we needed and reform this country, but he has proven himself to be just another power hungry politician. His ties to ACORN, Tony "the shark" Rezko, Rev. Wright, forced me to look a little bit harder.

Then I found out about Bill Ayres and his radical education agenda (not to mention setting off bombs) and more. I have finally come to the sad conclusion that Obama is more concerned about becoming president then he is with having values and convictions. He will probably have some (federal) convictions in the future, but for now I must go with McCain, simply because he will keep this nation safe.

Double standard? It's okay to call someone a "s__ stain" (Sarah Silverman) if they choose to vote for McCain, it's okay to call the second woman candidate for VP a ____? I agree, it is NOT ok to be equally vile against Obama...two wrongs do not make a right, remember? However, it is clear that disgusting, "negative" behavior is reported on one side and ignored on the other in the media. Molotov cocktails thrown at McCain supporters sign in Oregon? Local news only, baby.

It is amazing to me that common sense does prevail here. This story should have been front page news across the country. However, with the media always taking the side of the LIBS/DEMS, I'm not surprised that it was hardly mentioned. If the current state of affairs is causing you major concern, just wait until the liberal media gets their way and Barrack Obama is the next President. If I had some advise for John McCain it would be take off the gloves and go to their level. If you don't you are looking at returning to the Senate for sure. The masses in this country better wake up in the next few weeks or we are doomed. That is unless you believe that all of the problems we now have were the result of the Republicans. One final thing, remember ifyou vote for Barrack you are voting for Barrack Hussein Obama?????

Reading some of the comments here, you'd think people had their heads... well, in the sand. This is way past "hateful" and "inciting" and "bigoted" and "mean-spirited." It has nothing to do with any "issues," for those of you who want to bring up the budget, or Bush, or what McCain supposedly said to his wife, or anything else.

This has to do with the media calls for McCain to stop the "negative" campaigning, yet not saying the same about Obama. The media reports some anonymous person at an open rally shouting "kill 'em" as evidence that McCain/Palin is "encouraging hatred," yet barely mentions these shirts. Obama tells supporters to "get in their faces," yet objects to questions about his past as "racist" and "distractions from the issues."

These are some examples of the Obama campaign being totally hypocritical, and the news media generally doing the same. Obama lies about his agenda, he lies about his record, he lies about his past, and he lies about his associations. Those are facts for anyone who cares to actually check them. There's nothing "hateful" or "racist" about these charges, unless you think that Obama's race gives him a pass on moral and ethical norms. I'd say THAT'S a "racist" attitude.

Any Republican who had Obama's history would have been run out of the primaries by the media's digging for these facts. OTOH, consider the media's "vetting" of Palin. Anything they found out about her was immediately spun negatively, true or not. Face it, the media is completely on the side of one candidate, and completely out to destroy the other. Hatred and lies are being used, if not by Obama, then in his name, and for his cause. Much, MUCH more than by McCain, if at all.

That should bother any "fair-minded" person, no matter which candidate you're "rooting for." This isn't a freaking football game, people. This is our country!

Jo, actually, I have heard threats shouted about McCain at Obama rallies. And just like McCain, today at a rally Obama had to shush his fans and tell them to be respectful-- as tapper wrote about here, I believe. Overheated supporters pop up near the end of the campaign-- no real surprise there. Yes, there were statments that were out of line at a handful of McCain rallies, shouted by a handful of supporters. As the picture at the head of threat reminds us, there is plenty of hate on both sides to go around and that is wrong. But to blame either Obama or McCain for the sins of the worst of their supporters is uncalled for. Please do not pretend that the vitriol is all on one side, because that simply is not true.

Hi, Josh! As promised, I'm responding to one of your questions that I just ran across. You questioned my assertion that "Obama supported Ayers." Here's what I mean by that-- NOT that Obama supported Ayers's Weather Underground terrorist activities-- but that Obama supported Ayers's work with the ABC (Alliance for Better Chicago schools), Obama wrote a blurb for Ayers' book "A Kind and Just Parent" (Wherein Ayers argues that no child should ever be tried as an adult no matter the crime or the age--among other troubling ideas) and supported Illinois legislation that reflected this philosophy of juvenile justice, and most importantly, Obama as chair of the Annenberg Foundation funnelled funding to school projects of "radical reform" supported by Ayers. Obama has repeatedly, in other words, supported and abetted Ayers in Ayers' radical education agenda. Ayers has done as much damage as an "education professor" as he did, in a very different way, as a domestic terrorist. He is still trying to change America in radical ways and Obama has supported many of the changes he advocates. That's what I meant.

Thank you for reporting on this. Gotta love how the media is slamming McCain for having one jerk at his rally but somehow can't be bothered to report on this. What kind of miserable human being puts that kind of obscenity on their shirts? Wow, that says so much about the poison in their hearts. They need prayers and tons of therapy.

Thanks for mentioning it Jake. It is appreciated but I wish you did not have to, but you do since you are just about the only sane reporter left.

has anybody heard anything about Levi Johnston ( about the black teenager who is claiming to have fathered Bristol's baby and wants to have a part in his child's life. Palin has totally ignored him and his phonecalls he is now speaking out on ? Levi dropped out of school, and is parading around with the palin family parading as a Wassila role model.

What are u all thinking? This is not a war it is a vote!! Think on your own and make your choice. Look at everythig not just one media, all media, not just one voice, all.

What the hell does the McCain know about making mortgage payments? They have so many houses, they don't know how many,,or how many cars. McCain let his first wife after an accident to chase after $cindy$$ Is he a good man? His exwife is almost poor and he doesn't want anything to do with her because she was marred from the accident. He did't have time for her after she waited for him to come home from the war. This is presidential material. think again.

We do not want more of the same. McCain is the same fabric as bush, how do you think that McCain is going to turn into anything other than a republican? What is the difference between Palin and Bush/ lipstick. I don't care what color the next president is just so it benefits me and my pocket book. You boobs that would rather go down with voting only for a white man is ignorant. Look into the mirror is it hard to accept what you are? The only color I'm concerned with is the color of money, green.

Sorry, I can't read the t-shirt. What's it say? "Palin is a . . what? Oh wait, further down I see it now, it's the same thing John McCain was calling his wife.

Gee whiz, why do people have to swear

What's the problem Jake?

McCain referred to his own wife in the same terms.

I was just sitting here thinking that.

Seriously people
it's a t-shirt

let's get over it.

We should be more worried with how our future will pan out with the upcoming election, not some person's personal opinion and choice of words.

We have the inherent right to freedom of speech, like it or not.

They shirt will become irrelevant in less than 3 weeks anyway so why get all hot and bothered?

I spent 2yr's of my life be shot at and watching people die in Vietnam! And then being spit on by on country because I did my duty. You are people are what will end of what was once, as JFK said a shining city on the hill.

I've never seen hate like this, just for the sake of hating someone.

More, and more, each day, I am finding political pages disappearing, rearranged to denounce,hide, rewrite, or distort.

Posts being pulled, deleted, or made unavailable.

Freedom of speech is coming to an end, unless you submit, and obey, and most especially, .....agree.

Sad sad dark days ahead.

The creator of the t-shirt speaks:

"I personally am a registered Libertarian, supporting Obama this year. Palin is the last woman I want to hold a political office right now. Her lack of common sense, cruel treatment to animals, and just plain ignorance to what we (Americans, and even women) really care about is absolutely frustrating. The point of wearing the shirt to me is just a bold way of saying that she certainly is not liked or one of "us." To play the gender card is irrelevant, because I am a woman who wears the tshirt anyway."

drjohn said: I still think the guy who cried out "kill him" was an Axelrod plant.

I'd bet money on it.

I just read a story, that a radical left wing who's been ostracized by democrats, was at that rally videotaping what happened. Last name of Russo, I think? Well according to this story...Russo has had previous problems, legally, and otherwise, and he posted his video on you tube, and that's where everyone is getting the visual of this from.

That being said...how did this Russo know to be at this particular rally? What indicator did he have, to believe that something MIGHT happen, at this particular rally, of all the rallies?

Really makes one wonder, doesn't it?

The creator of the t-shirt, Rhiannon-Marie Volpe, is actually the woman in the photograph. Her mug is also available on Facebook. Easily identifiable.

Hope the photo travels with her throughout her lifetime.

"I don't approve of these shirts. But I'm glad that Joe Biden doesn't encourage this kind of thing at his speeches the way Sarah Palin eggs on the most hateful elements of her base at her events."

Really?

Does she exhort her followers to stone anyone, as one man in Philly suggested be done to Palin?

Who was it who said that supporters should go out and "get in their faces"?

I still think the guy who cried out "kill him" was an Axelrod plant.

I'd bet money on it.

Axelrod makes Rove look like an amateur.

I don't approve of these shirts. But I'm glad that Joe Biden doesn't encourage this kind of thing at his speeches the way Sarah Palin eggs on the most hateful elements of her base at her events.

dl: "disgusting, and I am sure they would NEVER be allowed at an Obama rally. that is not spin that's the truth
Obama ...the man would NEVER EVER allow anything close to this to be at a rally
or said at a rally
Obama calls people on insults that are out of line...
he always has.
and there lies the difference."

---

see, dl, therein lies the problem: Obama has not called people on this kind of thing. A few examples:

1. Rev. Wright - whites brought AIDS, god damn america, etc. OBAMA'S RESPONSE: first, I never heard it (over 20 years), then, it's "disappointing," etc. Was there ever any real indignation over this stuff? No, not until Obama saw it hurting him in the primaries.

2. Michael Pfleger - calls Hillary Clinton a "racist" and makes fun of her in a very belittling, demeaning way. OBAMA'S RESPONSE: Nothing except to say Pfleger is a good guy who's helped a lot of people. Of course, now Hillary and Bill Clinton are being pressured to hop on the Obama bandwagon "or else."

3. Ludicrous (rap singer) - calls Hillary Clinton a "b*&c%h" and John McCain a cripple in a pro-Obama song. OBAMA'S RESPONSE: NOTHING.

4. Various celebrities voicing their support of Obama while making nasty, tasteless remarks about his opponents. OBAMA'S RESPONSE: NOTHING.

Finally, let's look at the real racism in this campaign - from Obama, his campaign, his associates and his supporters. When you have 97% of the blacks voting for the black candidate, many of them BECAUSE HE IS BLACK (their words, not mine), THAT is racism. When you have him frequently bringing up how he is "different," THAT is trying to race-bait. When you have his campaign calling anyone who questions him in any way a racist, THAT is feeding racism, not helping it.

THE ONLY CHANGE THIS MAN REPRESENTS IS MORE WELFARE FOR THOSE WHO REFUSE TO WORK, MORE GOVERNMENT SPENDING WHEN WE ARE IN CRISIS AND A MAN WHO CARES FIRST AND FOREMOST (AND IN MY OPINION ONLY) ABOUT HIS OWN AMBITION.

NO THANKS!

I don't get it. If McCain supporters would had shown up to a BO rally wearing a derrogatory T Shirt about Obama, it would been all over the news. But somehow, this is not news worthy?
So, if by McCain supporters are angry, what does this make Obama supporters? The MSM is totally in the tank for Obama, this totally disgusting!

"God Damn America" will resonate with 90% of Americans. Obama sat in that racist, anti-American church for 20 yrs. He can't explain that away.

Now why is it ok for these t-shirts ???? But its not ok for any one to speak truth you look its not just Ayers Obama has a long list of shady characters yet if the campaign brings it up they are racist?? That is bull the only one who has brought race into this election is the Obama camp. Stop hollering Race !!!!!! Start answering the questions !!!!!!

Those t-shirts are disgusting, as are the people wearing them. They are no better than those who yell terrorist or kill him. There is no place for that on either side. I do believe that McCain/Palin campaign stoked the flames of their supporters' venom last week...I've seen no evidence that the Obama/Biden camp did the same regarding these t-shirt wearing idiots.

Do you think perhaps the t-shirt phrase was borrowed from a comment (truthfully or not) attributed to McCain himself, once accused of using toward his wife, Cindy?

It would be nice if people could act their age.

disgusting

and I am sure they would NEVER be allowed at an Obama rally.

that is not spin

that's the truth

Obama ...the man would NEVER EVER allow anything close to this to be at a rally

or said at a rally

Obama calls people on insults that are out of line...

he always has.

and there lies the difference.

Rick so you approve a a State Trooper tasering his 10 yr old son and getting drunk on duty and shooting Moose. Typical Liberal. Keating five the other four were Democrats one was John Glenn.
Obama is a fraud and is being exposed. This is the biggest fraud in American history besides the biggest economic disaster brought to you by Dodd, Frank, Schumer and Pelosi

There's nothing more
vile than her unhinged
and reckless hate speech
attacks on the Dem
presidential candidate.

Hmmmmm.

"I am a white college educated female. I am mad at sexism, but am outraged and quite alarmed at assassination threats!!! This Republican has had it with these two politicians!! "

Yeah Sharonklim. You're a Republican. Sure. Right. And for life I take it? Been a Republican since those old fetus days?

Amazing how many such "Republicans" there are who buy so easily into the anti-Republican message of the day.

You'd almost think it was a Democrat.

Score another kudo to ABC's Jake Tapper, one of the few msm who truly seem to try to be fair and balanced.

We tout the importance of free speech to our republic--until someone says or writes something we find offensive.

Why is this news?

People wear offensive T-shirts all the time.

The irony is, nobody would have known about it without the help of the media.

What is the point of discussing this?

Maybe it's just me, but I have trouble generating pity for someone who lies about her record everyday, lies about Senator Obama's record and incites crowds to violence against him, and then hides behind her children when the going gets tough.

How is John McCain going to balance the budget in his first term using tax cuts and war? Now THAT is something to discuss.

Where's Obama's proof of citizenship?

If he can post his birth certificate on the web, why can't he give it to the court?

Who cares if John McCain said it to his wife in a private conversation (if it happened), He didn't wear it on a t-shirt, so there is NO COMPARISON!

Why is Ben Smith at Politico advertising the sale of these disgusting shirts?!?

This is just an example of the double standard being shown in this election. Obama's worshippers decry anything that they perceive has the least smell of racism or criticism. (BTW attacking Obama on his record of associations is NOT racist and has nothing to do with racism!) This is s disgusting show of debased sexist junk! Most of the liberal media is nothing but an Obama propaganda machine pushing his radical extreme left socialist (Communistic) agenda...'Nuff said...
Vote MCCAIN / PALIN - the true "democratic" choice for America.

Jake, this is just completely typical behavior for those on the "tolerant" left. Mainstream liberalism today means radical. See MichelleMalkin.com for just a couple examples of radical leftist rage directed at McCain/Palin.

JAKE!

I don't know what to do with this... but I wish a blogger would give it some attention.

I spoke with someone who was a delegate for the GOP. We were talking about ACORN, and he said that at the convention some other Republicans were talking about voter registration drives.

One of them instructed the others: "When a left-wing organization is doing a voter registration drive.... go ahead and register! But put the wrong information." And then started laughing.

I expect that some of this stuff about ACORN might be the result of a concerted effort to discredit ACORN by filling out bogus registration forms and then reporting it.

That's a horrible idea for a shirt.

I get it that they are being ironic... using a word that McCain used describing his own wife... but most people don't know McCain's history of misogyny.

However, the discussion that the shirt is generating might change this. Maybe people will hear about the context.

But that doesn't make it right... or even a good idea.

Electoral College Obama McCain Spread
RCP Electoral Count 277 158 Obama +119
No Toss Up States 353 185 Obama +168

There it is again excellent post by Jennifer Rubin at commentarymagazine. IMHO if Republicans and McCain are unable to call Obama who he is on Ayers, ACORN, Rezko and the rest of the Obama three-ring Leftist circus they deserve to get voted out of Congress and Senate.

What Is It With Obama’s Opponents?
Jennifer Rubin - 10.13.2008 - 6:46 AM

Barack Obama certainly has a genius for picking political opponents. First, Hillary Clinton chose “experience” over “change” as a theme and sat atop the most dysfunctional presidential campaign ever seen. She didn’t hone in on Reverend Wright nor plan for post-February 5 primaries. She didn’t organize caucus states. When she finally got her act together and a theme — fighting for the little guy with a robust economic plan — it was too late.

Then along comes John McCain. For a while he runs on biography. Then he comes up with some clever ads to debunk Obama’s popularity and fixes on energy policy. But he doesn’t hone in on strong>Reverend Wright and lets the summer and all of September pass before Bill Ayers, ACORN and the rest of the Obama three-ring Leftist circus make an appearance. Like Clinton, he waits political eons to come up with an overarching economic message ( we are promised one this week). In the meantime he goes to war with the media (strong>Steve Schmidt sounds eerily like Howard Wolfson yelling at the media to do their job), but not personally with his opponent.

Is there some political stun-gun which Obama uses to numb his opponents? It is hard to fathom how not just one, but two opponents could be so haphazard in their approach. strong>Maybe both Hillary and McCain couldn’t in their heart of hearts believe the American people in their infinite wisdom would take seriously an inexperienced, far-Left neophyte with an aversion to specific policy recommendations for very serious problems. But if so, they severely underestimated voters and their willingness to extend him the benefit of the doubt and to accept the most minimal descriptions of both his past affiliations and future plans.
In the case of McCain, we are told over and over again that no matter what McCain did it was an impossible year for a Republican, made more impossible by the financial meltdown. That might be the case. But regardless of the poll numbers no one can look at the McCain effort and say “You can’t fault them for lack of a creative vision!” Or, “They sure set out a viable game plan and executed it with gusto!” Certainly, you can fault the “campaign” — a group of advisors, consultants and staff people. But ultimately the blame — just as it did with Hillary Clinton — rests with the candidate.

WAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!

so glad we are being featured on the internet. so glad you have the time to cover t-shirts and not the troubling problems of the US/world. Why not cover how McCain/Palin will stomp out whatever rights Bush has not taken away from the U.S. people. Christ! It is a t-shirt that is telling our feelings for palin and not any other women. please don't group me with women haters. i guess you weren't around when 99.2% of the women at the protest applauded the shirts.

REMEMBER THAT WE STILL HAVE SOME FREEDOM OF SPEECH LEFT. NOT MUCH BUT SOME.

also i am not a registered democrat(registered green) and i do not support obama. he has not won my vote(mccain/palin will not get mine at all). i do not expect obama nor most of his supporters to like these shirts at all and that is totally fine.

To the fake person!

In Australia everyone has to vote or your fined $550-$700 Everyone votes and votes once!

Registering voters is a good thing ACORN has registered 1.4mil new voters 60% Democrat and 40% republican the RNC website even admits that !

This is a fake concern registering multiple times doesnt mean a thing other than wasting ACORN's money and the Elections office's time. They still only get one vote! Its a fake concern for political perpuse!

The BBC did a really good piece on the truth about ACORN saying that:

ACORN IS THE SMOKE SCREEN FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY... KNOWING THAT THEY ARE GOING TO LOSE RATHER THAN ADMIT THAT THEY HAVE BAD POLICIES AND IDEAS THEY INTEND TO BLAME IT ON ACORN...

SHOULD THE ELECTION BE CLOSE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WILL TRY TO USE THE COURTS TO ELECT THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES INTO OFFICE...

THIS IS THE GAME PLAN FOX IS SETTING THE GROUND WORK!

So is Cindi>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>so what the big deal.Everything that is wrong in anothers eyes and against a party ,the other party is behind the whole thing.Grow up>>>>> people do this all the time on their own they think they are cute....Life sonny boy life.....

This is sick and I get the point: There are morons on both sides of the aisle. But I doubt they would be let into an Obama event wearing those shirts.

You got a clone hey ?

Dont you hate that ? When folks think your so smart they become you and try and dumb you down to there level !

WEAK!

Votw thw smart guy in this time Obama 08

Why the Dem's spend so much time going after Palin makes no sense.She's not running for President and what she say's means nothing.She's just for the Republican base.It must be from hate and racism.

Ex Republican

The sad truth is that Obama is going to lose in a landslide. But he may come close by committing voter fraud on a massive scale the way they do in them African countries

Why do Democrats act like destroying our most sacred right as an American Citizen the right to vote is OK.

Voter Fraud the DEMOCRAT way of life.

Committing voter fraud is the liberal Democrat way of life.

To bad there is a document called the Constitution of the United States or we would burn that to.

the republicans comitting voter fraud should be prosicuted and put in jail.

The justice department needs to make big examples out of the Supporters of Obama and ACORN commiting voter fraud on such a massive scale never seen before.

Democrat VOTER Fraud is so bad this year that its worse than any country in the world but again the leftist media is blind to all this.

Jake: This is the type of sexism and divisiveness that is a major tool of the Obama campaign (remember someone named "Hillary?"). It is an expression of the intense hatred and threatening behavior emminating from Obama. To you, most sexism is OK (here, you say it is merely "not acceptable discourse"), but if it were racism, you'd be on your high horse.

Mark Hyman is a news commentator for Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc.

Mark Hyman is a swiftboater!

The piece you posted cant be trusted!

Ainclar has a history of being deceptive and anti democrat:

Sinclair gained further notoriety by ordering its 62 local stations to preempt prime time programming to broadcast an anti-Kerry film just before the November 2, 2004 general election.

Titled "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal," the film is produced by Carlton Sherwood, a former associate of Tom Ridge.

The anti-Kerry organization, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, cross-promoted the film as part of a $1.4 million advertising campaign

Sinclair's order to broadcast the film prompted criticism from Jon Leiberman, Sinclair's lead political reporter. "It's biased political propaganda, with clear intentions to sway this election," Leiberman said. "I have nothing to gain here -- and really, I have a lot to lose," he said. "At the end of the day, though, all you really have is your credibility." [8] Leiberman was fired within a few hours of making those comments.

In a later commentary column, Leiberman explained that when he was promoted to start Sinclair’s Washington bureau he discovered the pressure to supply pro-administration news. "It started with the politically charged commentaries of Mark Hyman, in nearly every newscast. Then newsroom leaders (at the encouragement of Hyman) started suggesting pro-administration story ideas. They made sure that every political story had a comment from the Bush administration, and went out of their way to get it. But they didn't ever balance the stories with the Democratic response," he wrote in Broadcasting and Cable.

Yes, no organization such as ACORN or any other group has the right to commit voter fraud. Having said that, I am surprised to hear Republicans suddenly caring about vote tampering. The GOP has been against voting paper trails for years - why? The GOP has been against recounts - why? The GOP is for the highest amounts of voter disqualification since the Jim Crow era - why? The GOP is on it's way to a historic loss on November 4th. You can blame ACORN...or you can blame the failure of Republican promises and policies. America sees you now for what Democrats have seen you for for decades - frauds.

This furious beating of the racism drum by the left shows how worried they are that Barack Obama WILL lose this election

Now to rig the election Democrats and Obama have to employ voter fraud groups such as ACORN

ACORN works to drive big businesses out of cities and force companies that want to move to obtain "exit visas."

Way to go Obama supporting groups like this that drive businesses out of the country along with your tax hikes.

ACORN registered 40% Republican voters (Shhh, don't mention that part ok?)

All newly registered voters must show ID. So how exactly are registrations going to affect the election? They aren't.

ALL registrations in the states where accusations (no prosecutions, just accusations thus far) have been made, must go to the state board BEFORE they are certified.

BBC ran a great report on how the whole ACORN attack is another attempt to engage in voter suppression. By challenging registrations, the GOP can eliminate entire voting blocks.

But of course, The British Broadcasting Network, apparently like every single journalist in the entire world, is "in the tank" for Obama.

No wonder Hillary supporters are never going to vote for Obama . THE polls are so tainted this year that.

Obama is going to lose in a landslide. The only ones taking POLLS are Obama leftist freaks like the ones shown in these pictures.

GET Use to President John McCain and Vice President Sarah Palin

252,595 voter registrations in Philadelphia, of which 57,435 were rejected, most of them submitted by ACORN. WOW. These dead poeple voter registraions would of voted for Obama. Makes you kind of wonder how many of the ones that passed are for real.

NOW you can see Obama not only won the Primary by bully tactics in the Cacaus but by voter registration fraud.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE MEDIA when they send thousands of lawyers and reporters to Alaska to dig up non-existent mud on Palin but Obama has MUD UP TO HIS EYEBALLS right in front of them

But its ok to just call Obama a terorist.

ACORN is exceptionally shady. Now, learning that the $300 billion housing bailout bill passed this summer contained a provision giving $500 million yearly to the organization, and learning that the Obama campaign itself paid more than $800,000 for get-out-the-vote efforts during the primary.

ACORN and Obama also sued the govenment to give loans with my deposited money in the banks to people who could never repay these loans back creating the financial crisis that we are now having the working tax payers pay for again

Jake, Don't you have any real news to report? Why is this blurry snapshot from some random blog even worthy of mention? Get a life already.

I have never heard of voter fraud at the levels we're seeing during this election cycle. Whether it's the same-day registration and absentee voting in Ohio or the 4,000 dead people registered in Texas or the registration forms filled out with names of the Dallas Cowboys in Nevada

Who is fueling this voter fraud campaign. No other than Obama and his freak squad like the ones wearing the TEE SHIRTS in the pictures and his funded organizations like ACORN

ACORN was hired by Obama's campaign to the tune of $800,000 to do voter registration. To sweeten the pot, in 2007, Obama promises to give ACORN a role in shaping his presidential agenda

If you don't know who or what ACORN is. Its the biggest voter fraud organization in the country destroying our sacred right to vote.

STEPHEN SAYS HE IS LOSING MONEY --IF SO WHERE WOULD THE CAPITOL GAINS TAX TAKE EFFECT --DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT WITH THE REPUBS-AS THEY HAVE YOUR INVESTMENT ALMOST WORTHLESS.
