John McCain's unprecedentedly ugly speech today

The increasingly petty and ugly attacks on Barack Obama by a desperate, dying movement are a microcosm of the last eight years.

    Back @ ghandi

    No, your whole argument is not shot down, but that's just my opinion. I believe in my liver--and have the evidence to prove it to anyone with a 10% open mind--that political assassinations were used in the Sixties and carried out by criminal and governmental agencies in the U.S. Hell, you can read court evidence and the verdict of the King civil trial in Memphis.

    Evidence is not the point. Credibility is.

    Others might look at one such egregiously false statement as casting doubt on your other statements, too. And that's where we lose.

    In regards to your other follow-up posts, don't get sucked into emotional tits for tats. Stick to the facts and the evidence. There's beaucoups of money being paid to lots of people out there to be on these sites and say who knows what.

    Are you a parent? I am. And at this point I don't know and don't think about *if* America will wake up to its deep politics and deep history, which includes political assassinations, election theft and false flag terrorist attacks.

    As a parent, I don't have a choice but to try my best to get out the truth. Don't let anyone take that purpose from you.
