WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ALL ABOUT ??? RUMORS ARE FED BY THE OBAMA ELECTION STAFF TO SMEAR THIS NON-ISSUE AND CONFUSE THE PUBLIC INTO THINKING REPUBLICANS ARE RACIST... WHAT A LOW DOWN SLIM MACHINE THE OBAMA ELECTION TEAM IS... THEY ARE A CLONE OF THE "KARL ROVE" "STENCH SPEWING HENCHMEN OF DISCEPTIVE LOSER'S" ... WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BARAK OBAMA PROMISE OF REAL CHANGE ??? WHERE IS IT NOW ???
IF BARAK OBAMA WANTS TO WIN THE ELECTION HE BETTER TAKE THE HIGH GROUND, OR HE WILL CRASH AND BURN... WHAT WILL HE DO ???
AFTER READING YOUR STORY I WAS DISAPPOINTED... I WAS HOPING YOU WERE A LOT MORE INTELLIGENT AND NOT AN OBAMA YES MAN, OR A POLITICALLY LIBERAL DUNCE.. NOW WE ALL KNOW YOU ARE BOTH.. YOUR NON-ISSUE IS WHAT AMERICA HATES.. WORKING AMERICA DOES WANT A BLACK MAN FOR PRESIDENT AND IF HE IS A MUSLIM ALL THE BETTER (NON-ISSUE). WHAT AMERICA MORE IMPORTANTLY WANT'S IS A LEADER THAT IS NOT CONTROLLED BY THE D.C. ESTABLISHMENT AND WILL WORK FOR THE GOOD OF THE COMMON WORKING MAN... THE MISINFORMATION ACROSS THE INTERNET SAY'S THE REPUBLICAN RIGHT IS RACIST... THAT IS A TOTAL LIE, AND A FABRICATION OF THE TRUTH TO AVIOD THE REAL ISSUES... BARAK OBAMA IS A SOCIALIST AND WILL RAISE TAXES ON BIG BUSINESS WHICH WILL CHOKE THE INVESTMENT CAPITAL TO CREATE NEW JOBS.. HE WILL SPEND MONEY LIKE A "DRUNKIN SAILOR" TO IMPLIMENT HIS SOCIAL PROGRAMS AND THE DEFICIT WILL GROW FASTER AND INFLATION WILL QUICKLY INCREASE.. THE AMERICAN WORKER WILL FEEL THE PINCH AND WILL PAY THE PRICE.. YOUR EFFORTS TO BACK THIS MAN ARE IN VEIN... I HOPE YOU WILL SEE THE TRUTH... GOD BLESS AMERICA...
People forward the crap on because they want to believe it's true. More than once after replied with an email with the facts, I have been told they will not consider others sources of information. The internet and email dumbs down a portion of the population, as it enlightens and educates another portion of the population. If radio and TV are an example, it may all be down hill for the quality of content available.
I liked Nuala so much because she was honest, vulnerable, imperfect, had a very natural touch in her writing and, although an academic, did not try to impress with what we call "book learnin'". I never met her but could relate to a certain capriciousness in her, an uncertainty about being a woman in what was once a Church-dominated country. As Nuala O'Faolain was one of nine children, she had to fight for her individuality more than most. Above all, she had a sense of humour which leavened her more sharp criticisms.
I know what you mean about this site. There is a level of viciousness that shocked me to the core when I first wrote in support of Hillary Clinton. The "ad feminam" onslaughts made me wonder what sort of a society has been created in the United States. I refuse to be bullied, however, and have persisted, refraing from using the crude language so beloved of those who have come to be known as the "Hillary-haters". I don't really understand why I feel so strongly about this, apart from the fact that I believe in justice, in civilized values, and that the female of the species deserves the same rights as the male. That seems to be a quaint idea to SOME of Obama's supporters who shy away from the fact that it was his American mother who endowed him with American citizenship and thus the qualification to be a candidate for the presidency of the United States. In the racial maelstrom and blizzard of slurs, it is an "inconvenient truth" that it was this American (white) woman who carried her son in her body for nine long months before bringing him into the world.
The idea now that Obama supporters should fight slurs with slurs is going to make this American election even more poisonous than it already is. On this thread alone, one person has suggested delving into the circumstances of John McCain's divorce from his first wife. The woman is disabled, I gather, but this poster has no qualms about inflicting psychic pains on an innocent woman by re-opening old wounds so as to benefit Barack Obama. If I were the shuddering type, I'd shudder at that. Whoever becomes POTUS may just have achieved a Pyrhhic victory after all when it's the culmination of a campaign in which race, gender, religion, age and marital fidelity have supervened. America, once regarded as the most progressive country on earth, now cuts a very shabby figure and, although I voted "No" to the Lisbon Treaty and the so-called "European Project", I'm happier to be a European than an American. The spirit of reconciliation is stronger in Europe (look at the French and the Germans!) than it is in the United States where recriminations about the Civil War and related issues seem never-ending.
Thank you for your letter and its mild tone which is reassuring that not all Americans are burning with rage and intolerance of conflicting opinions. All the best to you.
In a country where large percentages of the population can't identify the three branches of government, by can speculate knowingly about whether Angelina and Brad are going to make it, the only surprise in this article is that anyone's surprised at all. If it was truly about substance over spin, camaign finance would be a non-issue.
The only real Americans are the American Indians. I was skeptical because of his name too. But Facts are we are a melting pot run by conservative white christian men. It is time to have sex and race take control. I would rather have someone of middle easten descent in office than McCain.
The question is, why did Obama's staffers tell those two Muslim girls wearing headscarves that they could not be seen on camera sitting behind Obama during his rally in Detroit? Because Obama does not want to be portrayed as a Muslim, because obviously the prejudice against Islam in this country extends to his campaign.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
