I think not! It's about his socialist ideology -- wrong for America. It's about his sewer dispensed friends and associates. It's about his radical extremism -- wrong for America. It's about Obama's merciless and infanticide abortion policies. It's about Barack Hussein Obama and his inexperience. It's about Obama's LIES. From The Ballot.

Either way, one thing is clear: for having brought the country to this point, Barack Obama will finally get to have his own firsthand black experience." Unbelievable. At the close of an article ostensibly about the racism fueling the oppositions, you end with this. Unreal. For one moment, listen to yourself as an other. My favorite part of the article was your link about "encouraging voting along racial lines". Nothing in that link actually supported that statement. Second was your criticism of Obama, as a freshman/sophomore, no "leaving a mark" at Occidental college. If we interviewed "a dorm resident who lived near" you are your alma mater would we expect glowing accolades? The central thesis of this article reveals it's own disease. You ridicule his claim that his advance should not obscure the trials still faced by people sharing his skin color. This occurs just three paragraphs after describing the Supreme Court case which struck down anti-miscegenation laws less than two decades prior. If only history could be so easily dismissed... without consigning ourselves to revisiting it. “For those who are shuddering over the riots at the GOP convention, it’s hard not to wonder whether this election is as much about making history as it is about history repeating itself.

Why don't you mention that to the messiah. Remember, he's the one who dissed the wounded troops at Landstuhl so he can go work out at the gym. This, after he found out that none of his photographers would be allowed in the hospital while he was with the soldiers. He was going to use his time with the troops as a disgusting photo op, but when he couldn't get it, he said 'to hell with the troops' -- I'm gonna go to the gym'. Yeah, he really supports the troops alright. And you've got nerves to be talking about "honor"...the world almost saw your Billy Bopp get impeached for lying under oath about his sexual advances towards Paula Jones -- if you recall, Paula remembered his shape -- that's one reason he got caught lying. You thought I was going to bring up Ms. Intern. Well, her blue dress and that cigar will forever epitomize the total disrespect and dishonor that that man did to the White House and to his wife. Nothing compares to Bubba. Another dishonor that comes close: John Edwards of perfect hair fame, during, of all times, while his wife is suffering from incurable cancer. Geez...no class. 3rd place: how about "the crusader", former NY Governor Spitzer -- wow, talk about shady, and his wife stood by him through it all. 4th place: Mr. Green, or is it the Internet Inventor? Al Gore, who lives in the most un-eco-friendly, most energy-expending mansion ever to house an environmentalist. He needs to stop calling himself that -- he betrays the very word 'environmental'. All these Democrats are the biggest hypocrites of all time. Don't compare any of them, who truly lack honor, to the honorable John McCain. Someone75, “support the troops”??

Now that is more scary to me than riots if he doesn't win.

Well, if you spend your youth laying around smoking dope, snorting blow and looking for marxists and radicals to be friends with, your chances of winding up in a POW camp are pretty much nil. “Hey – at least he didn’t spend five years in a prison camp…”

But your nephew is suffering because of past US policies. Not by any black persons doing. The simple fact is Americas economy was free labor and oppression. When your ancestors came to America they knew the history of the country but they came for a better life. So albeit sad some suffer like your nephew. But the fact he had the foundation and opportunity to study is more than 90 peecent of what blacks have in the country they built. You can choose where to start history but there is a direct connection. How many black kids have not gone to school because of money. I'm quite sure the numbers aren't close. Your personal story is sad but its not a reflection of society. Mike:

Why then do you say it's "a shameless smear to Obama's face" to "mention Ayers?" If he's so harmless - such a great guy - why would it be a "smear?" If that were so, BO would be happy to be fully open and honest. But he hasn't been. The debate was fixed so the "Ayers issue" wouldn't be discussed. Brokaw saw to that. He might as well have written all questions. Why has BO tried to limit the free speech of those who've attempted to reveal the truth about this relationship and others? With a lawsuit and sending his "goons" to disrupt a radio show. Why close your eyes to the truth: BO has lied about this relationship. And for good reason. There's so much more there. And it's not pretty. But you really know that, don't you. Someone75 — BO tried to describe his longtime pal Ayers as just “a guy in my neighborhood” and “a professor at the local college.”

I thought neanderthals like you went away once man started walking upright. Seriously - go back to high school, finish your GED, and then try to re-enter modern day society. There is more to this country than guns. Nobody has tried to dishonor our armed forces. Support the troops, not the war. Oh, and about McCain's honor: why don't you ask his first wife about that. Nothing like returning from war and divorcing your disfigured wife who waited for you. Dark Helmet:
