30 LIES REFUTED ABOUT AYERS AND OBAMA
A nice read, if you have the time, of why this is such a bullshit issue.
A few examples of the silliness they're attempting to scare voters with:
LIE: "Barack Obama is friends with Ayers, defending him as quote 'respectable and mainstream.'"(American Issues Project ad, August 2008)
TRUTH: David Axelrod described them as "friendly," not friends. Obama didn't call Ayers respectable and mainstream (although Ayers now is); Obama's campaign on his website posted an op-ed in the press that described Ayers that way.
*****
LIE: "They live half a mile from William Ayers, the unrepentant terrorist" and "Just a half a mile from those homes is Louis Farrakhan."(Hannity's America, October 5, 2008, "Obama and His Friends: History of Radicalism")
TRUTH: It's true, of course, that Obama lives in this same neighborhood, as do tens of thousands of other people who presumably are also guilty by geographical association. The logic of this argument would be, if you live half a mile from a sex offender, then you agree with child molesters.

OBAMA IS "PALLIN' AROUND WITH TERRORISTS?!"
Here's a new low for the McCain campaign. This William Ayers-Weather Underground shit was weak from the beginning, but for Sarah Palin to suddenly bring it up again now, a month before the election?! And to question Obama's patriotism a few lines before it?! It's so pathetic and laughable.
Just admit it, you Republican fucks, you simply want people to be afraid of Obama. You're going to rely on fear once again, in hopes of scaring enough people into voting for your candidate. It would be shameful if it would actually work. But not this time, not this year.
Citizens across this great land have had enough of your tactics. They see through this, they realize it's nothing more than a distraction. That's why Jeremiah Wright didn't make that much of an impact. It's the reason this Weather Underground bullshit never stuck. The reason the "he doesn't wear a flag pin" and "not putting his hand over his heart" emails simply faded away after a couple of months.
Because in the end, none of that helps us move this country forward. None of that matters. It's Gay Marriage all over again. A non-issue that doesn't help get anyone a job, health insurance, a helping hand when they're in times of need.
It's just red meat for the kind of people that think chanting "USA USA USA!" proves you love America more than the rest of us.
Well, I have news for you, you don't.
I love this country so much, that I don't need to showcase it. I don't need to act like the troops are on my side, or that God is either. No magnetic ribbon on my car is needed. America isn't my Mother, I don't need to kiss it's ass. I'm secure enough to point out it's flaws, to attempt to make it better, and above all, realize that it doesn't need to be perfect.
So, and I'm really honest here, I hope McCain and his Hockey Mom keep this up. Keep trying to make Obama out to be that "creepy Black guy with a funny name and evil terrorist friends." Go ahead. Run on nothing but negitivity and scare tactics. Give the Amercian people a clear choice on November 4th.
Hope vs. Fear
I like them odds.

THE DAILY SHOW HAS BEEN ON FIRE LATELY
I loved this segment, especially watching John McCain go back and forth on why the bailout bill sucked and then why he ultimately voted for it...
And am I alone in thinking, Kristen Schaal needs to join the team permanently?

DID PALIN ANSWER A SINGLE QUESTION SHE WAS ASKED?!
That's what I want to know. Watching this response from her was jaw-droppingly stupid.
My favorite moment of the night was watching Joe Biden go off on her for talking talking talking, but not answering anything. She bitched about "Pointing fingers towards the past" but did nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to seperate her and McCain from George W. Bush and these past 8 years.
Will someone explain to her that "being a Maverick" isn't a policy?! This was so painful to watch. She's so overly coached, so mismanaged and handled by the McCain campaign that they might as well just have had a soundboard of various clips and let Gwen Ifil press them from time to time to hear "McCain's viewpoint."
It's a disgrace to allow her to continue on and you Conservatives know it. She's in way over her head and it's a shame that the McCain campaign let it go this far.
"Country First" my ass.

IT HAS BEGUN...
This is when things start getting interesting. Only 4 weeks until the election, and the campaigns realize that some states are no longer "toss-ups." Well, today the McCain campaign took Michigan off the table. No more advertising, no more campaign stops, it's over.
I'm sure it's just the beginning of the end now. With 3 HUGELY competitive states now swinging in Obama's favor, McCain better hope there's nothing else that could derail his Straight Talk Express.
...oh, except for his Hockey Mom going before a national audience tonight during the VP debate. What's the worst that could happen?!
The good thing is that she reads every newspaper and magazine out there. Yes, ALL of them:
She also thought it would be funny to mention that Joe Biden has been in the Senate for a loooooong time, even though she's running with a 72 year old Grandpa:
And don't get me started on her idea of what we should do with women that have been victims of rape or incest:
She is truly a gift that keeps on giving.

CRANKYPANTS McCAIN
This is what happens when your campaign starts falling apart. You get pissy and dismissive at the media...who are recording you...and it ends up all over the internet and evening news...and your poll numbers continue to drop...and...
BILL MAHER ON THE VIEW
I just saw a screening of Religulous last night, and while I can't really talk about it until my review hits Friday, I think you all probably know I'm a huge fan of Bill Maher. He's been doing a lot of press lately, and I caught this segment of him on The View yesterday:
It gets pretty testy and proves that religion is something a lot of people simply do not want to discuss. (much like politics, which is why I'm lame for constantly bringing up both!)

LETTERMAN HIGHLIGHTS SOME OF BUSH'S "PROMISES"
Wow. This was just brutal to watch.
He's never come out swinging like this before an election before...to my memory anyway. I think McCain seriously pissed him off a couple weeks ago.
