typical bullsh1t republican scare tactics. is anyone really buying this?

Where is Ayres????

0-bama is so desperate.

the repubs will do anything to get elected

Bush will anounce the "heightened terror alert" in 5..4..3..2...

Pretty sick when there are people who work in these headquarters and have to fear something like this. Not accusing any side of doing this, because that is just downright stupid. I will say, whoever did it, should be ashamed of themselves. I don't think John McCain or Barack Obama would approve of such acts.

"White Powder Substance"

Obama's cocaine dealer obviously got mixed up and delivered to the wrong address. Now Michelle Obama will need to pull a Whitney and smuggle some to Denver.

Easily fixed.

Andrew thanks for the laugh....still chuckling!

These comments are all from McCain supporters. You truly should be ashamed. This type of situation is nothing to joke about and your post represent a blind, heartless and ignorant vision of America. It's a shame you are allowed to vote. Thank goodness no one was harmed.

Peggy it's too bad the first thought a McCain supporter is "oh oh, crazy Obot cult threat"...but it is your first thought as to who would do this. Just a glimpse of what's to come, if things don't turn out Nobama's way.

Peggy

It has to be one of you nutcase Obamabots. Angry over Obama's dropping poll numbers

Debra-Most McCain supporters are not you - Thank God!

Andrew - no, thanks for the insult. Just knew someone who was exposed to the "white powder" via mail and died. It's serious so take your obnoxious comments and be thankful no one was hurt.

Sigh, just another example of the ugliness of Obama supporters. Supporters on both sides are passionate, but Obama's supporters go beyond obsessive, to the point of vicious insults, destroying reputations, and even death threats. This is appalling and shameful. Is this the "hope and change" that your precious Obama keeps talking about? Or is it "win at all costs"?

I think all his supporters are probably good people underneath it all. But who, or what, can you think of that would be responsible to bring out such evil lurking in his own supporters?

Only Obama knows, and it is scary.

It's always good to see Republicans making jokes about a potentially serious situation.

As long as it isn't them, they don't care. Even if it involves their own candidate's volunteers or staff.

Stay classy, Republicans.
Stay greedy.

Peggy, why waste your time dealing with people who don't care about anything except themselves, and their greed?

I'm out.

Uh-oh better get out your duct tape and old plastic sheeting. Tom Ridge is back on the radar and CR is still hanging around. Wake up lemmings! Time to get scared again. Bruce Ivin's ghost has struck. Beware!
Look under your bed. There's a commie oops a terrorist under it. Reruns are being played

They need to look into the death of Steph Tubbs Jones... and the other Clinton delegate that was shot in the back of the head!

Hoax.

Anything to take the spotlight off of McCain himself today.

Karl Rove was having a boring day and needed some entertainment.

Some of the statements reacting to this story are juvenile.

Making jokes about cocaine use is not funny (I have seen statements both about Obama and Cindy McCain. It doesn't matter what party, if any, one belongs to, joking about substance abuse is just immature).

As for those behind the letters and the white powder, everyone take a breath and a step back and let the proper authorities do their investigating before we all come up with irrational conspiracy theories.

Like whats up with this white powder stuff. You need a smake not a snort, less addicting.

Corn starch is used in envelopes by some large mailers, some people are just parinoid.

It was probably McNut's Gold Bond powder.

MJ you know I really am starting to feel that way with the sudden deaths of two superdelegates for Hillary its scary. I am sure there will be no link to Obama or the Obama campaign in regards to this white powder I say if one more person who supported hillary gets hurt its time to investigate.

Bitch, plz. It's like the time Rove bugged himself to try to blame Dems. If you can't tell this is staged/planted you're very, very dumb.

jeez they could of waited for tomorrow looks like someone trying to change topics lol

Hoax.

Anything to take the spotlight off of McCain himself today.

I really thing the McHaters will do any thing and cover it up like they did with religion thing. McHater knew the questions before he when on.

jeez they could of waited for tomorrow looks like someone trying to change topics lol

Of course they are trying to change the subject. McShame can not take the heat when Obama hit he back.

boy this is goin to get nasty all of mccains past is goin to come to light like the keating 5 scandal oh boy

Have a little compassion Obama supporters. No one deserves this.

This sounds like an inside job straight from McCains own camp. Wonder if anyone will be smart enough to consider that? The GOP has sunken so low that nothing is below them to gain votes. They already swiftboat anyone and everyone who even remotely disagrees with them. Even in local politics this has become a fad of theirs. Now this mail thing? What will they think of next? I predict the closer it gets to election the more desperate they will become.

Getting desperate, McCain?

This is low, even for you. Well, not for you. This is actually on par for you.

It's low, just in general.

i dont have compassion with ppl that try to say obama is not american when in fact it was mccain who was born in panama

John McCain = war hero veteran

Barack Obama = "un-American" elitist

our decision is easy for Nov.

Terrorist & cop killer Bill Ayers and his clan helping Obama?

This is getting out of hand.

Michelle Obama is right --- "down right mean".... and this goes for both sides.

Old McObama had a farm, e-i-e-i-o. And on this farm he had some racists. e-i-e-i-o. A Reverend Pfleger here and a Reverend Wright there. There a racist there a racist everywhere a racist. Old McObama had a farm. e-i-e-i-o. And on this farm he had some terrorists, e-i-e-i-o. Here a Bill Ayers and there a Bernie Dohrn, everywhere a terrorist, e-i-e-i-o. Old McObama had a farm, e-i-e-i-o. And on this farm he had some loans e-i-e-i-o. With a Tony Rezko here and a Countrywide there, everywhere a friend of McAngelo, old McObama had a farm. e-i-e-i-o.

kissy that was so funny girl!!! Not

Rezko? Is that your best shot Ralph Reed?
McCain WILL reinstate the draft.
If you are under 35 and you vote for McCain, you will go to Iraq in McCain's draft. McCain is also against deferments so you won't get out of it.

Case #08-CV-4083

This is the information I have received as of 5:28 PM EST:

Papers have been filed, not yet scanned into the Pacer system.

The complaint is asking for declaratory (asking the court to declare Obama is not a US citizen, a “natural born” citizen and not eligible under the qualifications of the US Constitution to run for Office of President).

Also asking for injunctive relief and an emergency TRO. Further asking for EXPEDITED Discovery.

We are asking that Obama provide a “ceritified copy” of the oath he took to regain his citizenship.
We are asking for court orders, ordering the state department, HI department of records and other governmental agencies to turn over any and everything on Obama, all certified.

Obama kool-aid drinkers or terrorist Bill Ayers sending powder thru the mail?

You would think it would be Shobama's teeth that are yellow with all that cigarette smoking he does. What a pathetic role model for his own children. If he doesn't care enough about his own kids to stop smoking, why on earth would you ever think he cares anything about you?

Kissy --- Mean, just plain mean -- the "depends" jokes and all.

I don't think folks with this problem think it is very funny. And if you are lucky enought to live to an old age and have this problem ---- you want folks to make fun of you?

I don't think any of us that have a relative that Alzheimers think those jokes are funny.

I don't think that those of us that have a physical disability (especially due to war injuries) think making fun of McCain's arms if funny. My brother came back from Vietnam with a missing leg. Kissy -- I hate to think if he met you. You might call him "peg leg".

So talk to issues --- this stuff is all meaningless.

If Obama is elected President, is this the type of stuff we'll be seeing from his radicals like Rev Wright, Terrorist Ayers, Black Panthers?

Cmon now kool aid drinkers .. this guy is what? 140 lbs? Socialist? Down with whitey? Handouts to everyone? Racist? You think he'll win this election? Hilarious stuff ..

So Karl Rove... Who will believe that fake story? Worst... What's the next one? McCain almost got shot???

What a shame

There is definitely Axelrod-like behavior involved in the crime; of course that narrows it down to just about any Obama supporters that haven't snapped back into reality. Watch for more desperate and hateful jabs from the Obama campaign as it fizzles out between now and November.

Uh oh...looks like the confirmed "evidence" planter Karl Rove is up to his dirty tricks again.

obama and axelrod are genius let msshame play all his card then slam dunk

karl rove meet axelrod lol lets get ready to rumble chicago style

OOPS!! Somehow the baby wasn't killed .. see her over there being rocked by the nurse? Yep - well, let's kill IT now!

Signed, Senator Obama

wow im goin to denver with my young vibrant friends

That old fart is so driven by ambition - as he wrote in his own book - that he will try everything to win; including making up stories like this.

Be prepared.

if a baby survived an abortion my guess is it wouldnt be pretty or for very long!

some people act like they would come out healthy and happy not a scratch on them!!

Am I reading right? Are Obama supporters actually blaming McCain for this? How ridiculous, shameful, and appalling. You think your Precious Obama and his supporters can do no wrong? McCain and Clinton supporters have been inundated with insults and death threats for months by Obama supporters. This is a perfect example of how Obama is not about "hope and change", but about pure evil.

This is a attack on McCain's campaign office is just an example of how desperate Obama' supporters have become, that they are so freakingly anxious that he has done so poorly, that now they are attacking in any way possible.

But, no one ever said they were bright. How stupid must you be to attack a candidate who gets Secret SERvice protection? Hope you enjoy your prison time.

Losers.

didnt bush use "white powder" anthrax to scare americans into linking iraq to bin laden?
not that there isnt alot of whack jobs out there it could be true but i dont trust mccain he showed he wasnt any different then them when he didnt stand up against the same smears they used against him in 2000 and this all happens after some guy threatened to kill obama?!

i mean talk about obama and resko when mcshame have a whole corruption keating 5 thing all over the net talk about nerves lol

bah! The Repubs are trying their old strategy again...,make everyone scared so fear will drive people to support their tired and failed policies. Like the last time when white powder was sent to people, it was sent by OUR VERY OWN government people. Wouldn't be surprised if McWar sent this white powder to hisself just to get people thinking "the opposition are terrorists" How LOW will you go McLOW?

You think your Precious Obama and his supporters can do no wrong? McCain and Clinton supporters have been inundated with insults and death threats for months by Obama supporters. This is a perfect example of how Obama is not about "hope and change", but about pure evil.

WOW because mccain and clinton arent exempt from wacko's we are all pure evil?

i would of believe it maybe if it had not come after the housegate

prune juice doesnt do anything first of all second of all im not uptight and tense and its a little weird that you think you can get that from a computer screen? unless your watching me..lol

Where is Obama? Why isn't he denouncing this terrorist act? Hmmm, instead he wants to talk about people's houses. Since they both make over $5 million, I don't see why either of them brings up the subject at all. But Obama should denounce this type of behavior.

terrorist act?!!lol
no one even knows what it is and did you hear mccain stand up for the "terrorist' acts that happened with obama?!

decentamerican - Obama camp have nothing to do with this mess. Obama is black not white this is with nutting white people do. It was white men that have shot at other people becasue they have lost their job which is Bush doing becasue he have out sored so many American job over seas. This ia all Bush fault. Most middle class whites are the ones that are feeling the pain of 8 years of Bush. So if you won't to blame any body for these outbustes blame President Bush. Obama is not the president yet so he have nothing to gain from this.

keating 5 keating 5 keating 5 keating 5 keating 5 keating 5 lol

WOW because mccain and clinton arent exempt from wacko's we are all pure evil? DITO!

i just thought it was funny how he acts like all obama supporters got together and sent a white powder and a threatening letter to mccain because we are desperate he isnt going to win as though we would assume that he would be so scared that he would drop out of the race..lol
then calls US stupid losers..ha ha

I am sure that this is the work of a Obama Robot to ensure that McCain's team cannot respond in Denver to attacks on him at the convention, or err the Coronation ! I am a lifelong Democrat, a male with 2 graduate degrees and a professional 6 figure income- I cannot in good conscience vote for an arrogant rookie like Obama. McCain is my only choice to stop Obama.

Oh boy...this must have been an Obot on Kool-Aid overdose!

Terrorist Act Definition: any act or threat that is meant to instill fear or terror in others. For those of you idiots who don't know what a terrorist act is....lol. A letter containing death threats and a powder substance is such an act even if the powder ends up only being baking soda. Why? because the act achieved the intended result of instilling fear or terror in others. Why isn't Obama denouncing this???

OR maybe it was Barry's GOOD FRIEND from his neighborhood Mr. Ayers? Dorhn?

Has anyone seen Michelle "I hate America" Soetoro/Oblahma?!???? hmmmmm....

how many ppl are goin to be to the gop convention lol

Am I reading right? Are Obama supporters actually blaming McCain for this?

Wrong. These are against-0-bama=porters.

fearmongering has started again, McSame will use same tactics as WBush in 2003 to try to get elected, this time is not his time. WBush-Cheney-McSame have created the war in Georgia and now they are creating another crisis within the US to help people forget that McSame does not know how many houses he has. the elitist-rich-out-of-touch McCain.

Totally agree with the white powder crap.

Nonsense, Obama has many nutty supporters-----they are acting out of anger that McCain has moved up and it now looks as if Obama is most likely to lose even on the boards----sending white substance with a scarrey letter seems about consistent with so many of their personalities. It isn't like most of Obama's close friends aren't terrorists or communists. Ayers, Black Panthers, his hateful wife and Reverend, the American Socialist etc., Odinga etc etc

Spacerook1....Bush is completely irrelevant to this situation. A has been already who's denunciation doesn't really matter to most people. But its nice to know that there is someone who is still paying attention to Bush.

This is just sickening. Nearly every one of you.

McCain supports saying it simply MUST be cocaine from an Obama supporter who's pissed at his current rating.

Obama supporters saying it simply MUST be some republican trick make it look like dems did it.

None of you even give a rat's ass what's really at stake here. No, you're all too busy picking sides like it's some big stupid reality show. And "ooh ooh when my candidate wins I get to say neener neener to the big losers."

Have YOU done the research on each candidate? And I DON'T mean did you watch the news or listen to what Limbaugh or Franken or anyone else has to say about each candidate. Have YOU personally researched each candidate to help you choose the better man for the job? If you have, good for you. But I seriously doubt it.

Most people will choose to believe the ads and the hype and the BS talk shows because they're too lazy to find out for themselves. And that's exactly how your government wants to keep you - uninformed and ignorant of the real facts.

Whooooa....I am so tired of the Obamabots trying to equate Cindy getting hooked on pain killers after a doctor placed her on the meds to Obama's getting stoned out of his mind with alcholol, pot, and cocaine. Two completely different things. Not to mention, in case you guys haven't noticed odd purple lips, dilated pupils, narcistic personality, grandiose sense of power and ability mixed with anxiety and restlessness over confidentness, and poor judgement such as Obama repeatedly demonstrates indicates continue abuse of drugs. It sure explains that fake presidential symbol, replacing the flag with the O of Obama, and alot of his weird comments. I even seen him do the crazy Reverend Wright Chicken dance a few times------and both act like they are high.

Does this make up for the guy that threatened to kill Obama the other day?

Nosense Name....The same guy also threatened to kill Bush-----so he sounds more like a Hilliary supporter to me.

Check the handwriting, I'm guessing it matches someone associated with the McCain campaign............

guess what repups! the polls are cooked just like the wmds in iraq the msm the lowering gas prices and now the mystery powder in denver. God help us.

but im starting to think you all already know that

This just in: Authorities have revealed the content of a note found inside the suspicious letters: "John, here''s a little bit of coke for you to enjoy. Your friend, George."

The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The five senators, Alan Cranston (D-CA), Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ), John Glenn (D-OH), John McCain (R-AZ), and Donald W. Riegle (D-MI), were accused of improperly aiding Charles H. Keating, Jr., chairman of the failed Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which was the target of an investigation by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB).
After a lengthy investigation, the Senate Ethics Committee determined in 1991 that Alan Cranston, Dennis DeConcini, and Donald Riegle had substantially and improperly interfered with the FHLBB in its investigation of Lincoln Savings. Senators John Glenn and John McCain were cleared of having acted improperly but were criticized for having exercised "poor judgment".
All five of the senators involved served out their terms. Only Glenn and McCain ran for re-election, and they were both re-elected.
Circumstances
See also: Savings and Loan crisis
The U.S. Savings and Loan crisis of the 1980s and 1990s was the failure of 747 savings and loan associations (S&Ls) in the United States. The ultimate cost of the crisis is estimated to have totaled around $160.1 billion, about $124.6 billion of which was directly paid for by the U.S. taxpayer.[1].
The concomitant slowdown in the finance industry and the real estate market may have been a contributing cause of the 1990-1991 economic recession. Between 1986 and 1991, the number of new homes constructed per year dropped from 1.8 million to 1 million, the lowest rate since World War II.[2]
The Keating Five scandal was prompted by the activities of one particular savings and loan: Lincoln Savings and Loan Association of Irvine, California. Lincoln's chairman was Charles Keating, who ultimately served five years in prison for his corrupt mismanagement of Lincoln.[3] In the four years since Keating's American Continental Corporation (ACC) had purchased Lincoln in 1984, Lincoln's assets had increased from $1.1 billion to $5.5 billion.[4] Such savings and loan associations had been deregulated in the early 1980s, allowing them to make highly risky investments with their depositors' money, a change of which Keating took advantage.[4] Lincoln's investments took the form of buying land, taking equity positions in real estate development projects, and buying high-yield junk bonds.[5]
Corruption allegations
The core allegation of the Keating Five affair is that Keating had made contributions of about $1.3 million to various U.S. Senators, and he called on those Senators to help him resist regulators. The regulators backed off, to later disastrous consequences.
Beginning in 1985, Edwin J. Gray, chair of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB), feared that the savings industry's risky investment practices were exposing the government's insurance funds to huge losses.[5] Gray instituted a rule whereby savings associations could hold no more than ten percent of their assets in "direct investments",[5] and were thus prohibited from taking ownership positions in certain financial entities and instruments.[6] Lincoln had become burdened with bad debt resulting from its past aggressiveness, and by early 1986,[5] its investment practices were being investigated and audited by the FHLBB:[7] in particular, whether it had violated these direct investment rules; Lincoln had directed FDIC-insured accounts into commercial real estate ventures.[4] By the end of 1986, the FHLBB had found that Lincoln had $135 million in unreported losses and had surpassed the regulated direct investments limit by $600 million.[5]
Keating had earlier taken several measures to oppose Gray and the FHLBB, including recruiting a study from then-private economist Alan Greenspan saying that direct investments were not harmful,[5] and getting President Ronald Reagan to make a recess appointment of a Keating ally, Atlanta real estate developer Lee H. Henkel Jr., to an open seat on the FHLBB.[5] But by March 1987, Henkel had resigned, upon news of his having large loans due to Lincoln.[5]
It appeared as though the government might seize Lincoln for being insolvent.[6] The investigation was, however, taking a long time.[7] Keating was asking that Lincoln be given a lenient judgment by the FHLBB, so that it could limit its high risk investments and get into the safe (at the time) home mortgage business, thus allowing the business to survive.
