When are the Obama people going to censure this person:
Sandra Bernhard%u2019s recent cracks about Gov. Sarah Palin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin are no laughing matter, according to a Boston women%u2019s shelter.

Officials at Rosie%u2019s Place cut the comedian as a headliner from an annual benefit after she joked that Palin would be %u201Cgang-raped by my big black brothers%u201D if she ever visited New York City.

""When will McCain and Palin stop laughing and smiling when their supporters yell "Kill him" and "Terrorist"?""


I agree with you... The real John McCain is nasty and diversive... and when he ramps up his campaign rhetoric during his rallies... and he allows people in the crowd to reply with shouts of "TERRORIST" when referring to Obama... and McCain barely hesitates but to show a look of surprise... then returns to his slander speech.

both McCain''s actions and the actions of the shouting fanatic should be neither supported or condoned.

that behavior is an example of McCain''s bad judgment.

I don''t want that kind of experience in the White House.

The verdict is in. At a time when the terrible, terrible state of the economy is causing US citizens such as the guy in California to kill this morning his wife, three children, mother-in-law and self, why do we continue to participate in mudslinging. The state of our economy is a very serious and grave issue at this time. We can not waste time engaging in mudslinging that the only purpose it serves is to divert the very, very serious issues of the economy, that our country is faced with. I think we as Americans are very capable of determining one%u2019s character, thats our job and we don%u2019t need any help in accomplishing it. Please this is our time (the American People), we have a decision to make on Nov 4, which is only weeks away. We would ask that the candidates not waste any more of our time trying to influence the us whether or not someones character is upstanding, we can do that. What we wish would be done is for the candidates to take time and share a strategy dealing with the economy with us that we don%u2019t loose anymore people as we already have in California to collateral damage.

See who''s responsible - in their own words.

Obama/Ayers: Let''s not overlook ANNENBERG! They served on the Annenberg board together, overseeing the expenditure of millions of dollars. The records are still "unavailable". Meantime, whenever Obama is criticized he refers to his "fight the smears" website, which cites as its only source of facts, the FACTCHECK.ORG website... which is run by Annenberg! Umm, what does that say about credibility?

Obama/ACORN: ACORN is the very definition of a "community organizer" and the ties between Obama and ACORN are abundant. ACORN has been tied to so much voter fraud that they ought to be investigated under RICO! The tag line to hammer home: ACORN: Where you''re never too dead to vote twice!

And the Keating 5 as Obama''s response to Ayers???

There were 5 Senators investigated. Three Senators were determined to have acted improperly%u2026 Cranston (D), Riegle (D) and DeConcini (D). The other two Senators were found to have done nothing improper and received no censure. Senators John Glenn (American Hero & Astronaut) and John McCain (American Hero and POW) were both criticized for poor judgment for attending meetings, but neither was considered to have had significant involvement, and neither was deemed to have committed impropriety, violation of law or violation of Senate Rules.

McCain and MooseMunch are shills for Big Oil, Wall Street, and Military Contractors. I do not see any change from what we%u2019ve already experienced under the current Conservative Administration. Americans should be concerned about what will be in their better interests such as Jobs, Health Care, Credit, fair pricing for goods and services like gasoline, food and housing.

And, maybe a little less corruption in our government?

It bothers me more that Obama actually does have ties to terrorists. Substance to me has more importance than etiquette.

"See link below where McCain is quoted as saying, "It doesn''''t take a lot of intelligence to intercept a surface to-air missile.""

Note that "intelligence" in politics refers to "spy information", not smartness.

McCain and Palin tried to attack Obama on the issues. That failed. McCain and Palin tried to attack Obama himself. That failed. Now McCain and Palin are trying to attack people that Obama knows. Consider that Obama has been in public service for decades and has probably encountered tens of thousands of people. All that McCain can come up with are a handful of names? Let''s look at McCain and Palin.
Sarah Palin''s husband was a member of a political group that wanted Alaska to secede from the union. How is that for patriotic? Her own teenage daughter was knocked up out of wedlock. How is that for family values? John McCain cheated on his first wife. How is that for honorable? John McCain was part of the Keating 5 - how is that for trustworthy?
