These comments are pathetic! Most of you have got to be the most unintelligent people alive. Anything different from your way of thinking is BAD, UnAmerican, and worst! The problem is our country is in horrific trouble and was run by the Republicans for 8 years and they ran this country into the ground. That seems to be alright with most of you. . . just let them keep doing it. Get a clue or maybe a brain would be better. Fear is horrible thing. . . .we are all scared, but don’t incite riot and fear in a time we all need to pull together and prove how much we all love this country and want it to survive. I’ve heard nothing that has made me feel safe with any of you around. Everything is devisive and reeks hatred and fear. Who loves America? Stop, pray and try to figure it out. . . . it’s clearly not any of you!

You apparently could use an editor. If you already have one, fire him: Ayers article-

“his own and his comrade’s record” [only one comrade he had?]

“eluding to” ?? should have been alluding to.

Lets make sure we understand. They where removed from Obama’s plane but they were offered seats on Biden’s plane. Surely not the same thing, but a reasonable compromise. Access has to be spread around. And in fact it might be argued that not being on the plane gives the reporters more distance from the candidate and so they are better able to report independently.

Painful for the reporters involved, but hardly prevents them from reporting.

Isn’t Obama for change? so if he does the same as McCain and Palin is he then copy-catting…….or really rallying for change

Scott, God bless you for your service. Come home safely if you’re abroad.

Consider running for political office. You’re clearly grounded in good values, persuasive and articulate. A leader needed in these perilous times.

We desperately need good men like you serving in this arena. Men who know our enemy and will have the courage to remain strong — it’ll be our greatest challenge in the years ahead.

I hope more of our service men and women consider doing the same. God bless you all.

Let’s see now. The New York Post is a tabloid. The Washington Times is owned by Reverend Sun Myung Moon. Don’t see too much wrong with the Dallas Morning News. It’s probably no coincidence one of the reasons they had to give up their seats was becausae the editorial sections endored McCain. Seems to me the Obama plane jus wanted to throw out the tabloid trash along with the Callas Morning News.

Funny. Not a word about how the McCain campaign has isolated reporters from interviewing Sarah Palin and kicked off reporters from their plane.

In the end, who cares?

There’s a difference between a journalist representing a newspaper and a columnist. McCain booted Dowd, an opinion columnist, while Obama booted journalists reporting for the newspaper, because those newspapers endorsed McCain. McCain didn’t boot all those liberal lamestream media journalists because their papers endorsed Obama.

“Obama will heal the world of the wound known as America.”

There are some very scary people in this world … but thank the Constitution for Freedom of Speech!

If BO wins the Presidency, are we all expected to drink the poisoned Kool-Aid and become one of his followers?

I’m in the military, and the thought of Obama as my Commander in Chief is terrifying. Thank goodness I’m eligible for retirement, because I won’t serve a man that has no military experience, a clear dislike for the military, and expects his “people” to follow him on the premise of “hope” and “change”. How about clear, humble leadership based on attainable, measurable goals? Clearly, that’s a concept that’s beneath the messiah.

The reporters kicked off the plane are just a prelude folks – just wait until this man has the power of the Presidency to wield … and he will be able to wield it without restrictions thanks to a completely incompetent Democratic Congress.

Be careful what you ask for … you just might get it.

I’m sure you have much better reasons not to vote for him than that.

Terrence, I wouldn’t be so sure. These folks are what are known in moderate conservative circles as “bedwetters”.

It wouldn’t be too much of a surprise that they’d pick that reason, at least publicly, as an excuse to vote for McCain.

Wow, maybe the government shouldn’t have control of ANY media? I didn’t ask them to monitor my television, radio, and ESPECIALLY my damn internet.

It is two thugs fighting for control. That’s all we have now is roving gangs fighting for support from people like us. The people they parasite off of. Stop believing that you will EVER get ANYTHING done through these people. They are the ultimate scum bags. The lawyers of lawyers of lawyers. You cannot achieve through them, you can only negotiate your losses.

Just look at Bush and his right wing agendas. Now Obama with his left wing agendas. The truth of the matter, however, is that they are still just two thugs, fighting for their two interests, that are collected interests of other interests. Don’t buy this crap.

We MUST take the power away from them. Government’s job is to sit in the corner, and shut it’s mouth until spoken to. Oh, and it’d be great if I could have my habeas corpus back.
