Slight divergence...

I'm probably late to this information, but I just found out when you type Olbermann.com as a url, it comes up with...John McCain.com. First of all, I almost lost my breakfast having to look at them this early in the day, but I digress.

But second, if I were Olbermann, I'd be deeply pissed.

So...anyone know HOW to email him?

Shame on McCain

Sad sad sad, that once admirable McCain has stooped so low in his desperation that he is going to wipe out a lifetime of achievement and sacrifice on behalf of the country, and go down in history as a desperate slimeball. As for Palin, she's got some nerve, she of zero accomplishments but unchecked ambition and ego, blithely stating Obama "pals around with terrorists". If you really believe that someone is consorting with terrorists, saying they "pal around" is not exactly a serious response.

Shameful. And sad.

The right wing dolt and the future of the Republican party

The Republican troll is a curious animal. A sort of mixture of deep resentment, playground bully, a ranting, lying, rarely accurate blowhard.

Let us examine a member of the species – zoltan newberry. Ignoring whether (“can I call you zolt?”) has horns and a tail, it (no observable sign of being a mammal (does not suckle young) or humanity}, a zolt communicates by RANTING and activity that shows emphasis but rarely reason. Zolt is also prone to making up names for people, as was his patron Saint Dubya ( cf brownie, pootie-poot (Vladamir Pootin), fredo (for Attorney General), stretch, etc.) though like a schooyard bully he expects to convince people by calling the OBAMABOTS. He also seems to have a problem with the caps lock key on his keyboard.

Zolt is also distinguished by his touching belief that he can just fling out dubious information (actually outright lies) on the Internet, a place where almost everything he says can be instantly checked, and yet, despite the demonstrable fact that he has just uttered an outright falsehood, he may be trusted. Thus for example Zolt will denounce a mysterious liburral organisations such as as:

[a] leftist organizations such as ACORN, where Obama was also a trainer, a trainer of militant community rabble rousers ("community organizers"). They were taught that the ends justify the means, that it was OK to smear a person or an organization into submission, that businesses needed to be intimidated into following their radical policies, and that elections can be won through election fraud, padding voter rolls with made up people, people who moved and people in the grave yards.

This strikes readers as bizarre since Acorn has been providing free housing counseling to low and moderate income homebuyers since 1987 has opened HUD-certified housing counseling offices across the US, helping over 50,000 families to achieve homeownership (HUD by the way is part of the Bush Adminstration, so Dubya approved of Acorn). ACORN Housing provides one-on-one mortgage loan counseling, first-time homebuyer classes, and helps clients obtain affordable mortgages through our unique lending partnerships. They look at peoples savings and credit history to see if you qualify for a mortgage, help you with credit problems and to create a downpayment savings plan and then help arrange a mortgage with lower interest rates, lower down payments and lower settlement costs than what banks usually offer.

Hmm, what is it that Zolt finds objectionable about Acorn. Is Zolt a predatory lender perhaps, I’m sure they do not like Acorn. Is Zolt trying to foreclose on someone, I’m sure Zolt would then find Acorn pretty objectionable too. But the funny thing is, Hockey Moms all over the US probably would say Acorn is a great organisation, so would Joe Sixpack, so would Main Street, so what gives.

Maybe Zolt is a Dolt? He is certainly an embarrassment and an electoral liability to the Republican party. He, and Sarah Palin and this nonsense they trot out is why they are losing this election.

Blatant hypocrisy

And what of the Palin's family association with that Alaska Independence party? Membership, association, supportive speeches ... does that qualify as being pals with a group that wants to secede from the US? And let's throw some of Vogler's quotes into the mix? Is Palin's glass house so mirrored on the inside that she's that oblivious? Or is she that dangerous? I vote for dangerous.

Obama/Ayers

OBAMA DOES HAVE TIES TO WILLIAM AYERS

As I set by and watch this election,It amazes me at to some extremes that BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA gets by with in the main stream media,but not this:: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8QcpdUtxNQ This video show Obamas ties with Odinga.

Here's some info on Obama and Ayers:: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qjvc6vfxRwI&feature=relatedObama

As a Democrat this information scares the crap out of me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The fact that this tidbit was courtesy of Fox news is practically proof positive that it is sponsored Republican Propaganda.

Is Ayers a radical today? Or was his radical activity confined to the 1960's?

McCain gave information to the KGB and the North Vietnamese and is complicit in the cover up of information regarding US POW's that were left behind - rescue efforts canceled. I would love to hear more about this and why with all the shady activities in McCains past, the press continues to perpetrate the "hero" myth.

Palling

Amazing how many of these type pals Obama has ties with. Does that mean hw might be part of the organized crime ring called the DNC?

You liberal biased writers think your reporting news when in fact your using your position to write your beliefs not the news, and usually you bend that belief to feed the liberal bloggers that will believe anything you tell them.

The GOP's Whore

"Palling around with terrorists" is a blatant lie and the Democrats should be labeling Palin as a liar.

Pure, and simple.

A real career ahead for Sarah

Doggone, it, here's a Joe Sixpack idea for ya. How about lettin Sarah be a regular on SNL. She could just be, ya know, herself? No script needed.

On the other hand, I'd hate to put Tina Fey out of a job. She rocks!
