This Virginia republican is prouder than ever to vote Obama / Biden this year. If they really feel they need to stoop to this insane level I may never go back.

Bye bye Gilmore!

Ignorant man. And a desperate man. I just mailed in my vote for Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best part of the run up to this year’s election is watching the Republican party self-destruct. It is about time. American conservatives need to pull together and create a new right-wing political party that understands that conservativism means something other than fear, bigotry, and warmongering. The RNC no longer represents anyone but themselves, their investors, and the criminally gullible.

This is the message he wants his canvassers taking door to door!!! Man, if I wasn’t broke I’d send another donation to Barrack!!!

Enough of Obamas lies. If his relationship with Ayers wasn’t a serious concern, Obama wouldn’t keep changing his story on it and have to lie about it. Ayers, Wright and Acorn only to mention a few. Obama has a pattern of bad relationships and continually has to lie about them. This should be a huge red flag that does matter.

OK - that’s it. This has gone way too far. It is time for McCain to get on TV and do something about this. He started it and he is the only one who can stop it. I don’t buy that crap that McCain/Palin can’t help what supporters in crowds say or what their surrogates say. This is getting dangerous and McCain needs to step in and put a stop to these inflammatory, false statements before a tragedy occurs. Or is McCain so fixated on winning that anything that happens is ‘collateral damage’ and worth it to him?

I also think that CNN should explain more about the Annenberg Foundation. A charitable organization that has also been labeled a terrorist group by these idiots.

Are scare tactics and hate the only thing the Republicans have to offer?

This man should be arrested

People like Frederick will always be the way they are. This is the way he was raised to think, this is the way he will live his life. Trust me, he is not the only one. McCain/Palin has fueled the fire to make sure that people know that Obama is “not one of us,” and now they will realize the seeds they have planted into ignorant heads that will grow fear and prejudice once again.

The ONLY thing that Barack Obama and Osama bin Laden have in common is that the Republicans can’t catch EITHER of them.

ZING!

It’s interesting how McCain and his operatives continue to bring up the Obama/Ayers issue considering how one of his main Republican campaign contributors, Leonore Annenburg, is the widow of Walter Annenburg whose foundation provided the grant for the Chicago Annenburg Challenge–the group that Ayers and Obama were a part of in Chicago.

Mr Tim Craig comments of that nature is only giving this republican the insight of what the republicans are all about–when palin was hand pick i got sick but now i have thrown my vote to Obama

Are these people really suggesting that you are not only no longer innocent until proven guilty, but you aren’t even innocent until you’re accused of something? Now, all it takes is knowing somebody. READ THE CONSTITUTION!!! That’s like saying that Jeffrey Frederick is a moron because he is in the same party as other morons. That’s simply not fair. He is a moron because of the evidence presented; his own simple-minded comments.

This fool is the HEAD of the GOP in VA???

Well, if Palin is a governor, I guess anything is possible.

Desperate is the only word that can describe this .

I don’t think Obama is a terrorist, but I don’t think he has used good judgement and his views scare me.

It’s hard to find words to describe these comments. Racism, desperate and ignorant come to mind. I think even far right supporters have a hard time with this man.

The position of the GOP regarding Sen. Obama and bin Laden is nothing more than continuing the the “Rove Doctrine” has been throw any and everything against the wall to see what will stick and if that doesn’t work, let’s insinuate race into the campagin, vs a discussion on the issues that are important to most Americans.Those making the decisions for “main street” have no true understanding of what is happening 24/7 to us. And so the saying nothing as the Republicans stoop to the lowest denominator to win the WH not to govern from but as a tool for the well connected.

Those kind of statements should be criminal. Wow.

McCain’s reckless campaign, noted temper, obsession with the past and war, and erratic response to issues is a indication that there is something more than age affecting his ability to lead. During a CNN special, McCain talked about being broken as a POW. Yet, his mental status was never addressed? How can a person who experienced the level of trauma he experienced as a POW not have a diagnosis of PTSD and/or a host of other mental issues? Is he currently on medication? It amazes me that we are concerned about his age and the skin cancer that is now in remission, but even with the new knowledge of PTSD and its symptoms, McCain’s mental status is not in question. If he were mentally stable, would a man of his character and experience allow such flaws in his campaign? This is not his first time around….

Obviously Obama isn’t a terrorist; but his ideas are socialist in nature. That’s enough for me. He attracts people such as Tony Rezko, Wm. Ayers, and Rev. Wright none of whom you think of when you think of the word “American patriot”.

Ask this man if he is a former KKK. I betcha he is…lol
Is that qualified for association with terrorist as he is GOP Mccain supporter?!

I just mailed in my vote for Obama along with all of my families votes. The thought of Sarah Palin in the white house is not only revolting but scary as hell. I cannnot imagine why a sane person would even consider putting this person in charge of their life and government!!!

Well it looks like the only thing McCain may accomplish in this election is to establish beyond all doubt the following equation for the Stereotypical Republican

Republican=Dumb Red Neck+Racist+Mindlessly flag waving violent and ignorant fool

Paula - I’m sane, but can’t figure out why anyone would fall for Obamas empty words….Obama as president, that’s scary for the future of this country. He will hurt the economy, his policies will do nothing to help.

With comment’s like this and other comments as well, the Republican Party only proves that what John Lewis said was correct and for John Mc Cain to act as if he is surprised and ask for an apology is a joke, because Congressman Lewis only spoke the truth.

Using comments like Senator Obama is not qualified, his association with people and calling him a muslim have been very absurd and ridicoulous comments to make and have been nothing but code words for trying to convince people not to vote for Senator Obama because he is Black.

Why should John Mc Cain be surprised at what Congressman Lewis said? After the comments of some of John Mc Cain’s supporters and there sometimes racists and bias views, and the fact that Senator Mc Cain himself voted against a holiday celebrating the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I don’t think John Mc Cain should be surprised at all.

Congressman Lewis only said what needed to finally be said and he should know what about this kind of atomosphere and recognize it more than anyone since he marched with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. doing the Civil Right’s Movement, so I don’t think anyone has the right to tell Congressman Lewis he was not correct.

He only said what needed to be said and hopefully his words will wake people up to what has been going on the John Mc Cain campaign before it boils over into something more.

I have to travel to different countries a number of time’s a year and people in other countries throughout the world have always recognized the racism in the United States and have been appauled at it. I feel that a lof of White’s in the United States do not recognize this problem or want to recognize it because they see it as an embarrsement and try to sweep it under the rug, but in this regard s the United Stats is very much behind the rest of the world. This problem should be recognized by all and not accepted, but the problem corrected.

Yet another example of the hatred and ignorance that is still very much alive in the “Land of The Free” Until we can all live and work together as one; America will always be in crisis.

IS McCAIN “PALLING AROUND” WITH TERRORISTS?
Senator McCain could point to a compelling set of facts that would have McCain, himself, seen as purportedly supporting and palling around with an unrepentant high profile criminal who advocated bombings and murder. In speaking to that, John McCain would be reminding us of the following: He has had a long time association with Mr. G. Gordon Liddy, a participant in break-ins at the Watergate offices of the Democratic National Committee and at Daniel Ellsberg’s office, and, Liddy has publically stated that he was prepared to kill if need be in the conduct of those operations.
Further, as detailed in an October “Media Matters” article, Liddy has acknowledged plotting each of the following: Firebombing the Brookings Institution; Murdering columnist Jack Anderson; Killing Howard Hunt to prevent him from cooperating with an investigation, and; Kidnapping “leftist” protestors during the Republican Convention in 1972.
The same article recites how Liddy characterized John McCain as “an old friend” and discloses that the Senator has appeared on Liddy’s Radio Show. During the 1990’s, Liddy reportedly used his radio program forum to repeatedly instruct listeners on how to shoot Federal ATF agents. Additionally, he thought to mention, on air, for whatever his purpose, he’d named his shooting targets “Bill” and “Hillary.” In an appearance on October 8th of last year on Liddy’s show, Senator McCain told Liddy, on air, “It’s always a pleasure for me to come on your program.” “Media Matters” quotes Senator McCain as saying during that same show that Liddy adhered “to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great.”
Does any of this actually imply that Senator McCain supports the domestic terrorism plotted by Liddy? Does it establish that the McCain favors burglary or murder or veiled political assassination threats or kidnapping? No. The foregoing does, however, establish John McCain’s “continuing association” with someone who does believe that such outlandish criminal conduct is acceptable. So what? John McCain is no more a sympathetic to Liddy’s criminal conduct than Senator Obama is to Ayers’. Accordingly, Senator McCain and his attack snake, Sarah Palin, need to “truth up” and knock off the staged vitriol. If that leaves them without anything to say, that will say it all.

Tina: I would be curious what about his view’s scare you. I have been deeply disspointed with both parties for sometime, and would rather vote independent than vote Rebulican or Democrat if I was unhappy with either choice.

I personally find Obama to be the closest to a decent politician that I have encountered in a long time. I will not try to say that he is perfect, beause he is human. When it comes down to it, who to vote for does not need to be this deeply divided controversy. It should come down to whose values MOST align with your own. For me, this election, that is Obama.

Questions regarding his judgement aside (for that seems opinion based), I am curious which of his views you find so scary?

Please, do not mention any of the following:
-he likes cavorting with terrorists
-he is a radical christian/muslim
-he was not born in the US
-his wife hates the US
-he will raise taxes for everyone
-his health care plan will be mandatory for every person
-he wants to attack Pakistan
-he only wants to become president so that he can somehow subjugate white citizens
-he has never worked on any major legislation
-he has never worked in a bipartisan manner

All of these accusations (and more) have been proven false. Over and over again.

So, aside from the above false statements, what are the views that you find so SCARY?

It’s a shame how these people mislead Americans. This is clearly an example of taking advantage of free speech. Ignorant people will take his word to make their decisions.

Anderson, I think media should let people know before election, exactly what wrong Bill Ayers did and how it effected America. Also what kind of relation does Borak Obama has with him. I know media has been talking about it for some times, but a complete story on this subject would be nice.

Obama is scarry to me.. I would never vote for a man we know nothing about. Bin Ladin bombed the pentagon, and so did Bill Ayers, a terriorist is a terrorist no difference. Obama would never have gotten this far if he weren’t black. Awhite man with as little expericence as he has would never even think of running for the highest office of the land.It’s absurd.

OBAMA THE BRIDGE TO NO WHERE
Paula— The thoughts of Michelle Obama in the whitehouse scares me to death. Read her thesis. She is not First Lady material. shameful

It’s this type of politics that has turned off the vast majority of Americans over the years. Those who are stooping to this level of rhetoric should wake up because voters are not buying it this time around. I find it absolutely appaling, and not at all funny, to compare a sitting United States Senator to Osama Bin Laden. If Frederick were to do his homework, he’s find that McCain has ties to the association that both Obama and Ayers served as board members. Would he then call McCain the same as Bin Laden as a result of that equally flimsy relationship?

The more McCain’s campaign goes on the more I think the republicans are undercover Klu-Klux-Klan. Scary.

Why don’t we hear more in the media about McCain’s association with Liddy and all of the activities Liddy supported? The Obama campaign put out an ad on McCain’s involvement in the Keating 5 scandal, but a Gordon Liddy ad is certainly warranted at this point.

Ryan Jordan with the “Zing”er!!

McCain’s campaign is getting mighty desperate.

Gene P- Yeah, that’s an intelligent response. And they let you vote!!

On the news today at the McCain rally there was a sign showed on TV with OBAMA Bin. McCain rallies are out of control. The media has not called him out on these rallies therfore he wil not stop.
palin talked about good and bad guys. She will not stop either.
She had a ethical code violation with little coverage on TV. She got a pass on viloating her oath of office.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Paula, If you’ve fell for Obama you have been had. He’ll raise your taxes so you’ll never be able to see daylight. Sounds to me like you are like Katie Couric, and Carl Bernstein, not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Washington needs reform, to get all the crooks out of congress, and Obama is the biggest crook of them all.

OBAMA THE BRIDGE TO THE UNKNOWN
SCARRY ISN’T IT

Wow the look on this guys face,i have been wrong,all this time,there is no middle,it’s either Triumph of the will,or your a socialist.

FIRE JEFFERY FREDERICK FOR HIS racial comment on Obama.

Obama/Biden 08

Geez!!! Where is the Secret Sevice! Where is the FBI !!! To have the head of a States GOP, training volunteers to go out door to door with this message is outrangerous, disgusting but most of of extremely dangerous. Again! WHERE IS THE FBI - STOP THIS, PLEASE!!!

I am shocked that McCain would suggest Obama should even denounce John Lewis for his commemts when he has yet to do the same regarding Freddrick’s comments. Each day McCain seals my vote for obama in Nov.

The issue of Obama character or his being a muslim existed during Hillary’s campaign, not only during John McCain’s. It is an issue that does not go away after Hillary is gone or even after Obama becomes president. Anderson, you don’t even know what is in Obama’s heart and mind, because Obama keeps a secret of what he did in college, and he has proven ties to the muslim faith. I don’t know what church he goes to now after he broke off from the church of his Pastor Wright. In muslim law, a son of a muslim is an automatic muslim, so technically, Obama is one, plus that fact that he voluntarily changed his name from Barry to Barack, is for me enough intent to be a muslim, plus pictures of his trip to Kenya. You seem to forget that 9/11 was carried out by muslims, and probably you do not know that the Quoran clearly tells its followers to kill infidels. If Casius Clay changed his name to Muhammad Ali and practiced Islam, all that Obama needs to do is to tell us that he has been practicing Islam, since he already changed his name.

its more than becoming obvious that what this entire election is about is plain and simple, dare I say it…”RACE”. If you can’t win on the issues use the other fellers race and associations against him. I’m a 57 year old white man and even I know better than this…the republican party should not be responsible for John Mccain because he no longer represents any real part of it other than the extreme right….guess he could be considered a terrorist as well since he is provoking his followers to do violence….The GOP needs to take a long look at who’s representing them.

This is SO TYPICAL of the Republican leadership! Just as McCain’s rally’s have shown, there are way too many EXTREMISTS in the GOP !

McCain and Palin are dividing the country with their hateful messages. It’s no wonder one of their’s went and killed a top Democrat in Arkansas several weeks ago.

But that for some reason didn’t get much media attention; so much for the so-called liberal media!!!

Comments like this make me scared for our future. First and foremost, just because Obama is friends with Ayers, that does not make him even comparable to bin Laden. Bin Laden was responsible for tragic deaths and one of the darkest moments in U.S. history. As for McCain, why is he not coming out and saying anything about this? I mean, he did take the time to get booed at his own rally to defend Obama. So why not step up and say something, which would make his campaign look better, especially after Palin being found guilty.

Unfortunately, if Obama becomes the next president, we will be hearing ignorant comments like this throughout the next four years. I just become so frustrated since people have worked so hard to try to overcome racism. Despite all these efforts, people still share buy into negative attitudes and the smear campaign advertisements. Check your facts next time before you speak, Jeffery Frederick.

I really object to this. It’s ugly and it’s uncalled for. This guy should be fired. These racist remarks are hurtful for the whole nation and it does show that McCain has no control over his campaign or his VP. I saw the sign today also; I am disappointed that Palin has allowed this to continue. Obviously, McCain can’t stop her. If he was decent once he isn’t now; she is dragging him into her slimy depths. Obama 08,

gail. get a life…………..barack obama is a warm loving caring american that want only the best for the middle class, he feels we should all be treated fairly> so what;s wrong with that.

One more example of the use of “hate” as a political strategy. I noticed this early this summer with ultra-conservative radio talk and it has progress to Republican party officials. This atmosphere is poisonous and only makes our country weak.

Michelle Obama’s thesis over 20 years ago as a young woman who experienced 1st hand the effects of racism is irrelevant to this campaign. However, Sarah & Todd’s support of the Alaskans Group to separate from the United States is treason-a very glaring difference.
I find Obama’s ideas on the economy thoughtful and a correct path to lifting this country. It is true we are only as strong as our weakest link and there are too many weak links.
Obama will usher us into a better world of science and technology which has been supressed over the last 8 years. The real danger we face is not Al Quaida but the country of China rapidly surpassing us in those fields. Europe is rapidly surpassing us in the medical world (I work in surgery) and had had a bevy of French Docs visiting to teach ours the lastest in ground-breaking procedures. We do not need a ditz in the White house who is an anti-science flat-earther and who thinks it is “fun” to shoot endangered animals from a helicopter. This is worse than Bush!

The Virgina GOP chairman has his facts bacwards president bush is the one who all the intelligent people know is the who pals around with terrorists exclusively the bin laiden family bush w is the one whom has ties to terrorist

What else is new?! The REPUBLICAN-LIE-HATE-DIVIDE-AND-ATTACK MACHINE IS AS VILE AS POSSIBLE!

They do not seem to “GET” that their vile-anger-lying tactics are backfiring!

This evening on the “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” Keith reported that the governor of Florida doesn’t have time to campaign for McCain.

You know, folks, you can tell a lot about the character of a person, when they are down…….. and what has McCain and the Republicans shown us? Nothing but gutter-politics!

All the GOP have are lies, hate, divide, fear and incite violence!

Get a clue GOP……. **********STOP THE HATE ***STOP THE LIES***

If Obama were caught in the very act of adultery the liberals would say, “it doesn’t matter,” so forget trying to confront them with the facts, it’s kool aid drinking all the way . They blame McCain for Ayers, but Hilary was the one to introduce Ayers, and Senator McCain has neglected to mention anything about Rev. Wright, Farrakhan’s new endorsement of Obama on youtube, Father Pflager, Khalid Al-Mansour and the list goes on.

Obama, supposedly, is the victim African American, but let us not forget he is as much a white man as he is a black man, a Kenyan father and white American mother, it’s a 50/50 combination.

McCain a RACIST????????? Does that mean he shuns his black skinned adopted daughter or that he tells Cindy to go cleanse herself each time she returns from a war torn region of the earth, to include African Nations, taking medical relief. If Michelle Obama did half of what Cindy McCain has done for the underserved, liberals would have hailed her Mother Theressa, but no one wants to see the truth for what it is and that’s sad.

I am thankful for one thing this election season, and it’s that I don’t have blinders on, just the ability to not have someone whose only talent is his ability to speak well influence and maipulate me is a gift.

Oh, and maybe it would be good for CNN to do a show on all that Obama acomplished as a community organizer. It would be interesting to see how much he actually “turned” those communities around. From what I know, they remain impoverished, but I guess those accomplishments of lack thereof, aren’t important, it’s another free pass for the Holy One.

I guess some of the Republican supporters, aren’t feeling the pinch of the economy right now. McCain has been part of the Bush Administration for years, he has supported this mess from the start. So let me tell the ones that agree with the Republican ticket. You have been had, and will continue on this path if they get into office. McCain and Palin started these lies about OBama. He let this woman take other the speeches and say all these horrible things. He played a full partnership in this mess!! And everytime someone say something negative about him, he want OBama to say he doesn’t agree with it. OBama’s running mate isn’t going from state to state, flapping his lips on their character. The McCain ticket is!!! They are promoting division between different races, with this terriorist mess. Does McCain and Palin stop to think, they maybe putting this man and his family lives in DANGER, by saying all of this off the wall BULLSH…!!!! I wouldn’t agree with OBama and Biden if they were doing it. Now McCain want to tamp down the insults Palin have been saying. I think someone should charge them liable for promoting hate relations in an election!!! I think alot of people today, want to live without racial hatred in their life. This woman came out with alot of nonsense!!! I was always told: PEOPLE IN GLASS HOUSES SHOULD’T THROW STONES”. I BELIEVE THE STONE SHE THREW CAME BACK AND BROKE THE WINDOW SHE THOUGHT HER SIN WAS HIDDING BEHIND!!!!!!!!

BOTH PARTIES Have done What Osama failed to do which is destroy our economy-I think we should throw them ALL out & start from Scratch. Neither party has done anything except vote themselves raises,allow our counrty to be invaded by criminals( If your here ILLEGALLY - YOU ARE A CRIMINAL) They say what the people want to hear but after the election is over they forget their words.

McCain and Palin are using scare tactics to win this election. How sad.

ARE WE ALL GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION?

Tim:
The GOP is feeling out of control. Yes, the GOP is going to lose control over the presidency and Congress. Of course they are desperate and angry. But what is being is said will haunt them at their next elections.
