Showing My Support
Without getting too deep into the politics of this year’s US Presidential election, I wanted to show my support for the McCain/Palin ticket. I don’t think that ’spreading the wealth’ around is the way to go to ‘fix’ the economy. I think that our insistance on playing with imaginary money is what broke the system and I believe that Alan Greenspan plainly stating that he did not understand what went wrong and that the current situation goes against everything he’s made a career out of knowing supports the idea that the only way to fix the system is to replace the system.
When I say imaginary money, I’m referring to things like compound interest, predatory lending, that sort of thing. If I borrow 100 dollars from you at 5% interest rate and can’t pay it, you assess late charges which I still can’t pay so you end up selling the debt to a collection agency which applies more fees and charges interest on the interest of the fees incurred by the original interest which has interest charged on it. Now, riddle me this: If I couldn’t pay back the 100 dollars at 5% interest, what makes you think I can pay back the resulting $5,000 of compound interest and late fees? Yet, for the last twenty years our entire financial world has been built on that concept.
That’s just one point. I consider myself a moderate. I’ll never possess a Republican card, nor will I ever possess a Democrat card. I’m pro gun and pro choice, neither party would have me. I think McCain’s stance on the Mexican illegal immigration problem (and yes, it is very much a problem) is weak. There are plenty of things I disagree with him about. But I understand what he’s about, and I understand why. And let’s not even mention the fact that his Vice Presidential running mate Joe Biden has predicted foreign policy problems (read: attacks) if he and Obama succeed in getting elected to the highest office in the United States (and arguably the world). “Go with the lesser of two evils” and “take the evil you know” are two phrases that come to mind with regard to the ‘08 election. And Obama is an evil that we do not know. Or do we? I’d like to share a couple of e-mails I’ve received in the last month from friends who saw fit to forward them to me as they knew I’d be interested.
This election has me very worried. So many things to consider.. About a year ago I would have voted for Obama. I have changed my mind three times since then. I watch all the news channels, jumping from one to another. I must say this drives my husband crazy. But I feel if you view MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News, you might get some middle ground to work with.
About six months ago, I started thinking ‘where did the money come from for Obama?’ I have four daughters who went to College, and we were middle class, and money was tight. We (including my girls) worked hard and there were lots of student loans.
I started looking into Obama’s life.
Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California. He is very open about his two years at Occidental; he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, he did not apply himself to his studies. ‘Barry‘ (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan.
During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a ’round the world’ trip.. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia, next Hyderabad in India, three weeks in Karachi, Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate’s family, then off to Africa to visit his father’s family. My question: Where did he get the money for this trip? Neither I, nor any one of my children would have had money for a trip like this when they where in college.
When he came back he started school at Columbia University in New York.. It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barack – not Barry. Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia? It’s not cheap to say the least. Where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans? Maybe.
After Columbia, he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000 a year. Why Chicago? Why not New York? He was already living in New York.
By ‘chance’ he met Antoin ‘Tony’ Rezko, born in Aleppo, Syria and a real estate developer in Chicago. Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery this year. Rezko was named ‘Entrepreneur of the Decade’ by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association.
About two years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School. Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School? Where did he get the money for Law School? More student loans?
After Law school, he went back to Chicago. Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down. But he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Guess what? They represented ‘Rezar’ which is Rezko’s firm. Rezko was one of Obama’s first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago.
In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with ’seed money’ for his US Senate race.
In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in the Kenwoood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than the asking price). With ALL those Student Loans, where did he get the money for the property?
On the same day Rezko’s wife Rita purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price. The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Obama’s new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko.
Now, we have Obama running for President.
Valerie Jarrett was Michele Obama’s boss. She is now Obama’s chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz, Iran! Do we see a pattern here? Or am I going crazy ?
On May 10, 2008, The Times reported Robert Malley, advisor to Obama, was ’sacked’ after the press found out he was having regular contacts with ‘Hamas,’ which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran. This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama’s visit to Iraq, he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will ‘Take care of things.’
Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that where born in Pakistan? They are in charge of all those ’small’ Internet campaign contributions for Obama. Where is that money coming from? The poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle East?
And the final bit of news.
On September 7, 2008, The Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made on ‘This Week’ with George Stephanapoulos.. Obama on talking about his religion said, ‘My Muslim faith.‘ When questioned — he “made a mistake.’ Some mistake!
All of the above information I got online. If you would like to check it – Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett: Daily Times – Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times – September 7, 2008; The Times May 10, 2008.
Now the BIG question – If I found out all this information on my own, why haven’t all of our ‘intelligent’ members of the press been reporting this?
A phrase that keeps ringing in my ear – ‘Beware of the enemy from within!’
For me, out of all of that the thing that stands out the most is George Stephanopoulos, who was once Bill Clinton’s senior political adviser but is now a ‘journalist’, corrected Obama’s verbal slip! He corrected him! And the rest of the news media didn’t take that and have a field day with it! That should’ve been all over the front of every newspaper and magazine for a month or more, but it got swept under the rug with the help of the news media at large – not just Stephanopoulos, all of ‘em. Hell, they recently admitted on CNN that all those polls they love to cite so much are slanted in favor of the Democrats so it’s not that big a stretch to think that the entirety of the television media has been pushing the Obama ticket shamelessly throughout the campaign.
At the end of the day, Barack Hussein Obama was born to an African muslim (African muslims are to this day beheading each other and annihilating villages with cheap Chinese AK knock-offs in the name of ancient tribal wars and Islam) and is himself an African-American muslim. Let’s look at the other e-mail I wanted to talk about to remind ourselves just who the muslims are and what their religion has been doing for the last few decades:
A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine that America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves.
Pause a moment, reflect back. These events are actual events from history. They really happened!!! Do you remember?
1. 1968 Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by a Muslim male extremist.
2. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and massacred by Muslim male extremists.
3. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over by Muslim male extremists.
4. During the 1980’s a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by Muslim male extremists.
5. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by Muslim male extremists.
6. In 1985 the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by Muslim male extremists.
7. In 1985 TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens , and a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered by Muslim male extremists. (remember the pilot of his flight was from Richmond, MO)
8. In 1988 , Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by Muslim male extremists.
9. In 1993 the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by Muslim male extremists.
10. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim male extremists.
11. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take down the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed by Muslim male extremists.
12. In 2002 reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered – they cut his head off — you guessed it– Muslim male extremists.
No, I really don’t see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people… Absolutely No Profiling!
They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President’s security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males alone lest they be guilty of profiling.
Miriam-Webster defines ‘absurd’ as, “ridiculously unreasonable, unsound, or incongruous.” We have a man with known ties to Islamic groups, but the press refuses to devote any substantial coverage and so the average citizen doesn’t know. He even praised a PLO official at a roast! (Palestinian Liberation Organization, remember Yasser Arafat and his terrorists? Those guys!) The LA Times has it, but won’t release it – why the hell not?
Is there concrete proof of a direct connection between Obama and the people who have been doing everything they can to specifically kill Americans for longer than I’ve been alive (since 1981)? Maybe there is, maybe there isn’t; average people like you and me will never know because the press wouldn’t report it even if there was. The press corrects his mistakes for him, as you saw George Stephanopoulos do in the video linked above.
But, concrete proof or not, the connection is there and it doesn’t get any more direct – he’s got advisors from Hamas and has documented links to the PLO, both of which are prominent terrorist groups that publicly praised al-Qaeda’s attack against the United States on its own sovereign soil on September 11, 2001.
If you’re an American and you don’t normally vote, make an exception this year. Barack Hussein Obama cannot become our president. November 4th is Election Day; please, do your part to see that Obama doesn’t win! Even if you don’t understand the Electoral College model and think that the individual vote doesn’t count, it does!
And before anybody accuses me of racism for saying anything negative about ‘the black candidate’, here’s a picture of myself taken with my Helio; I’m about as black as they come.

Havo…a thought-provoking post. Gee, if only Obama had been caught paying a prostitute with a check or getting a BJ from some intern…THEN the Press (and presumably the American public) would have something “worthwhile” to sink their teeth into!
Just two serious comments, for the sake of logical argument: Obama’s financial records for all those questionable years were certainly scrutinized by the Democratic party, non, mon ami? Maybe even a matter of public record, if one does the footwork instead of asking inflammatory questions, answers to which may or may not support the theory being advanced by the implied answers.
Also, the percentage of Muslims who are extremist and perform such dire acts as you list are a tiny, tiny percentage of the members of the Muslim faith. However, it’s the whack jobs who get the media’s (and therefore the public’s) attention and impact their percerptions of what “Muslim” is all about.
I’m not attempting to counter your position with pro-Obama arguments, just pointing out that facts, not presumptions, should form the basis of for decision-making. This election is probably the most conflicted I have ever been in the 32 years since I’ve been old enough to actually cast a vote.
And by the way, good for you for being willing to express your passionate opinion about this election. It’s refreshing to see that in younger folks…it pisses me off that so many in their 20’s and 30’s don’t seem to give a shit.
And on a totally superficial note…aren’t you a good-looking guy!
My friend I had already decided to vote for McCain-Palin and I am aware of all the information you have graciously provided to us in your post.
Stand fast, vote everyone and make sure you learn all you can learn about the dangers of Mr. Obama. He’s not to be trusted.
Thanks, both of you, for your replies! I was a little unsure of how something like this would be received.
To be honest, I haven’t looked to see if records of where he got the funding for his ivy league college tuitions at Columbia and Harvard, or his world tour through countries known for extremist Islamic groups (especially Indonesia). I admit to making the assumption that nothing before his actual campaign funding when he started running for public offices would be subject to official scrutiny which would mean nothing before that could be found. After I get some work done, though, I will try to see if there’s anything to be found through Google.
I understand what you’re saying, that out of 6.3 billion muslims world wide only a few million of them want to kill Americans and Jews but will be willing to settle for any westerners they can get their hands on (Ricin production busted in England a couple years ago, for instance). And I used to agree that the entire faith shouldn’t be singled out as a target for venom and persecution – I argued that many times. And over the last couple of months, I’ve wrestled with it and as politically incorrect as it is, I have to say that I do believe that the world would be better off without Islam.
It is in their holy book that a muslim’s duty is to convert infidels or kill them. There’s no telling when Joe the Muslim next door who never said an unkind word to me in his life will have his “Come to Allah” moment, poison my dog, plant a bomb in my car and behead my family in ritualistic Islamic execution style. I present a verse from the Qu’ran, 9:29:
“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”
They can justify that however they want, they can twist the words around and project more friendly “interpretations” onto it, but the words are plain. There are other plainly worded verses in the Qu’ran, collected here: http://www.faithfreedom.org/Articles/quran_teaches.htm. I used to dismiss that sort of thing as inflammatory. As I said, I used to believe as you do that most muslims are alright.
But that was before they set in motion a plan to install an American president.
Could I be wrong? Of course I could, I don’t know the man personally. I know he’s a muslim, though – when you’ve got a religion, you don’t accidentally misspeak what your faith is. Bush would never accidentally say he was a Jew. Tony Blair would never have a slip of the tongue and say he practiced Shinto Buddhism. But Obama said, without a second’s thought, without missing a beat, “my muslim faith,” which Stephanopolous quickly corrected for him. I find that genuinely frightening. If he does manage to win, I hope to God I’m wrong.
And thanks, I don’t like puttin’ my picture on the interwebs much (actually I don’t like having it taken at all, that’s probably the only picture of me that exists electronically anywhere! muwhahahahahaha)
I think my biggest problem with very large scale country-wide politics or media is simply the fact that it is virtually impossible to tell what is true or not. What in the hell do I or do I not know about some guy that I have only ever seen on TV or the radio? How can I trust or not trust information about him when I am only hearing it 2nd or 3rd hand through media or people knocking on my door and handing me pamphlets (which did happen yet again this morning).
Sure you can Google or read up all you want but no matter how certain you are of what you read, the bottom line is that it is information coming out of someone elses mouth and not information you directly absorbed and experienced. You are not really making up your own mind based on the person or people you are voting for but instead based on the representation of them given to you by reporters and websites and bloggers, etc. I find it hard to want to support or believe either of the presidential candidates let alone anyone in politics at all. I will go vote on election day simply because it is what I supposed to do and my wife would punch me if I didn’t but I have pretty much no confidence in the system or the people involved with it because it is simply on too large of a scale.
I have no idea how what I just said relates to your post so I apologize for rambling. While I don’t really think I can agree with your accusations of Obama, I really like the fact that you had the balls to come out and post something that is not very politically correct. I hope it won’t be the last time and I wish more people would do it.
I can understand that completely and you’re absolutely right. Once upon a time, there was a sense that the reporters at the ’serious’ news outlets had a responsibility to provide unbiased coverage, but now that sense isn’t there anymore – at least for me. Everything I hear a reporter say smacks of opinion and bias. When the candidates themselves accuse each other of voting for this or voting against that, they’re intentionally not telling the whole story and I feel like 90% of the media doesn’t bother trying to clarify anything for the common person like us.
An example would be Obama saying that McCain voted against a bill for funding for troops in Iraq. In reality, the bill Obama was referring to was a part of a proposal which included a timeline for pulling our military presence out of Iraq, which McCain has been vehemently against from day one; he didn’t vote against money for troops and their equipment, he voted against the ‘timeline’ that the dems are pushing.
I guess at the end of the day people have to vote their conscience based on what limited information we do have access to. At the same time, while you can’t believe everything you see/read/hear on television/internet/radio, there comes a point where we have to assign at least a little bit of trust to some source; assuming that everything is a lie doesn’t leave us in any better position than believing everything is true, after all. It’s almost like religion, where at the end of the day the book (be it Bible, Torah, Qu’ran, whatever) was penned by men and if you’re going to believe in what’s written inside it you have to trust that those men were telling the truth.
Your comment had everything to do with the topic of the post and your rambling is more than welcome! :D
You got to be fucking kidding me, you really believe in those emails? Ah well, more than enough people do, so it isn’t all that strange. But really, people like Obama met thousands of people, its a person that worked himself up in public life. Of course he has met (and befriended) people that can have dubious connections. You can link McCain with all sort of dubious people as well.
And about Obama connections with PLO or Hamas. Yeah right.. Both Obama and Biden got – very – strong connections with AIPAC. In 2007 Obama was one of the most frequent speechers at their meetings. The majority of these American Jews and other Israel lobbyists support Obama in this election. Watch this thing if you’re interested in this Isreal Lobby thing, its worth watching: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N294FMDok98
All with all it’s just stupid fearmongering. Linking Obama to being a muslim is ridiculous, but as if there’s anything wrong muslims, as if those people in the Middle East are ‘evil’ or something…
Anyway. Sarah Palin. Having her a 72 year old heartbeat away from being president. Now that’s a danger
“You can link McCain with all sort of dubious people as well.” Do it. I’ll bet none of ‘em are part of or affiliated with Islamic extremist groups.
“And about Obama connections with PLO or Hamas. Yeah right..” I linked it, and it actually got more than two minutes of attention on CNN this past week but of course Obama and his supporters just brush it off as unimportant (but those same Democrats took Dubya’s cocain use in college and beat it into the ground in the last two elections):
http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/10/28/la-times-refuses-release-tape-obama-praising-controversial-activist/
“Obama was one of the most frequent speechers at [AIPAC's] meetings” He’s also pretended Christianity for the last couple of years in perperation for this White House bid; just because he spoke at meetings held by one of the most powerful lobbying groups in Washington with regard to foreign policy, that doesn’t mean he likes them. It means he understands how to play the game of politics.
“Linking Obama to being a muslim is ridiculous” He said it, not me. Oh, and I linked the video where he said it and had to be corrected by the ‘impartial journalist’ interviewing him.
“but as if there’s anything wrong muslims” There is.
“as if those people in the Middle East are ‘evil’ or something…” They are. Did you read that link pointing out the hostile teachings of the “noble” Qu’ran?
“Sarah Palin. Having her a 72 year old heartbeat away from being president. Now that’s a danger” Why is that? She’s shown herself to be smarter than Joe Biden over the last three months, regardless what the slanted polls and wardrobe critics would have you believe.
Also, nice blog Nuyan, I can’t believe I’ve missed it all this time!
Thank you.
Seems my previous post was a bit butchered as well, but nevermind.
“Why is that? She’s shown herself to be smarter than Joe Biden over the last three months,” Hahah, yeah right: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nGlFxpgaw4
You can find links with dubious connections of Mr McCain yourself. I could also just say Keating Five, which is also directly much more controversial than anything Obama has ever done in his past.
But anyway, if you somehow really believe that Obama is a Muslim then it really isn’t much use for me to continue discussing it as it’s really way too fucking stupid.
And there’s nothing wrong with muslims anyway. Hell, I live in a neighboorhood filled with Muslims that politely say ‘hello’ everytime I see them. There are hostile teachings of the Bible as well, there are ridiculous fundamentalistic Christians, so what? Doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with Christians.
Thanks for reading though. :)
Hmm… A couple of new-age wannabe Jerky Boys make a get through the McCain/Palin campaign’s telephone screening process and make a prank call, and that makes Sarah Palin stupid?
If you say so.
“You can find links with dubious connections of Mr McCain yourself.” I put links to documented fact on a silver platter, you’ve linked Jerky Boys v3.0.
“Keating Five” You’re saying that the Savings and Loan scandal is more controversial than having staffers with direct Hamas ties, praising PLO members at official functions well before they turned over their “we’d better be good and get UN/US support for our cause” leaf and receiving the bulk of his startup cash from a convicted Arab felon with his own nefarious ties?
But I’m stupid… heh.
The naivety of believing that Obama isn’t a muslim is beyond sad; he said it himself without a second thought and without missing a beat and if Stephanopoulos hadn’t corrected him the statement would’ve stood. An unbiased media would have never let go of that, they would’ve shaken it ’til its neck broke and ripped him apart like a wolves on a rabbit.
In Nazi Germany, the Aryans would smile and politely say hello to the Jews. Then the camps went up and the veil of pleasantries went down. The only thing between any faithful muslim (that is, one who really believes that the Qu’ran is the word of Allah as written by the illiterate peasant he dictated it to) and your throat is a crazy dream. Nothing wrong with muslims… I can’t remember the last time any non-muslim suicide bombed anyone to promote the glory of their god and its prophet or kidnapped anyone and videotaped their beheading to post on the internet in order to promote the glory of their god and its prophet.
You implied that your original comment had been edited; it wasn’t. You double-posted that ending jab about McCain’s age and I deleted the duplicate. One more f-bomb and I won’t be approving anymore of your comments – I don’t mind you disagreeing with me (if I did, I wouldn’t approve your comments at all), but keep it civil.
As an afterthought, I’ve got youtube videos, too. My links are funnier than that Jerky Boys phone call, in my opinion:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxhYampIl7A
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yvc0tYG_YpA
Discussions like these always confirm my belief that the only hope for humanity is freedom FROM religion. Skepticism 4TW.
Ugh! It’s first thing in the morning, and I mis-clicked on Nuyan’s reply, deleting it as spam :(
Very, VERY sorry for that, mate – feel free to re-post it or as close to it as ya can. Meanwhile, I’ll quote from memory as best I can.
You said that believing Obama is a muslim is mindboggling. He was born to a black muslim, he grew up as Barry, he made a pilgrimage around the world to all the muslim countries after spending his first few years of college with real muslims from Pakistan (as opposed to so-called “militant black american muslims”), had a Malcom X moment and wants to be called Barack now. It is intellectually dishonest on your part to disbelieve what you can see with your own eyes and hear with your own ears in this clip: “Obama says ‘My muslim faith.’” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKGdkqfBICw
There’s no way to argue with that sort of blindness… forgive me if that comes off as insulting, because it really isn’t meant to be. I just don’t know what else to say about it.
You said that the way Palin spoke to the pranksters, as regular people, made her look stupid. You said that you found it outrageous that any vice president would speak to a world leader like that. I ask you, then, how do you think you’re supposed to talk to world leaders? Do you think they have some sort of super formal code of protocol for speaking? Do you think they all address each other only in Latin?
Of course not, that would be ridiculous. Every language has slang. Every elected official is a regular person. Every non-elected official is a regular person.
I apologize again for deleting your last comment – I meant to hit Approve but I just woke up and misclicked by a couple of pixels :(
Your opinion is based upon a smear campaign.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/money.asp
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snopes
for verification of the source.
This took me all of 5 seconds. Glad you researched it yourself….
Your first link has the Obamas and the Rezkos saying that they didn’t do anything wrong and presents this as ‘proof’ that no wrongdoing took place. If I kick you in the shin and say I didn’t do it, that proves that I’m innocent, right?
The second link cites examples of the http://www.snopes.com website playing host to hoaxes which are then aired as truth by various television agencies. Because that makes snopes.com the most credible thing on the internet. :)
Further, everybody’s opinions are based on smear campaigns. When 80% of the media coverage consists of one candidate or the other being dragged through the mud for flaws (both real and perceived), there are few alternatives. “When you live with apes, it’s hard to be clean.” That doesn’t make the ape in question any less dirty.
So you say absence of proof is not proof? You should apply the same level of criticism to the ideas to which you extol. Then again, this whole “Obama is a secret muslim” is nothing but cognitive dissonance, where logical principals are only applied one way in order to reinforce your “gut feelings”. If you don’t like Obama, that’s fine, but to reiterate falsehoods based upon loosely threaded rumors deserves the same level of analysis that you would levy towards any argument against your own ideas. The accuracy of your information is in the same realm as the 9-11 conspiracy theories, UFO’s, Bigfoot and the faked moon landings. They aren’t being covered by the mainstream media because there is no facts, only rumors pieced together by either fearful people, or being presented by people with vested interests to see the other side win.
Snopes.com confirms or denies urban legends. To simplify it, they are the “Mythbusters”(tm) of the internet. You should reread the description. They have made a decent reputation for themselves.
Further, you are making up statistics on the spot and presenting folksy proverbs that have very little to do with what’s being said. Either that, or quit trolling.
So him saying himself that he’s a muslim on prime time television is ‘loosely threaded rumor’? It’s not a fact that he said that? It isn’t recorded on video for posterity?
If you say so.
80% of media coverage being name calling and mud dragging isn’t ’statistics’, it’s personal perception from your average American watching CNN, Fox News and MSNBC – 80% of the coverage I see is negative. The reporters don’t talk about the issues, they talk about the dirt they just dug up on whomever, whether it’s John Edwards’s haircut, Dubya’s cocaine use in college, Palin’s wardrobe or Obama’s half brother in poverty. Little time is spent reporting about the baby kissing and good ideas a candidate has.
You saying that Obama’s innocence is rock solid based on nothing more than “Obama says he didn’t do anything wrong” is naivety at best.
Your next comment needs to have a name and URL (if applicable), not “Other Side of the Coin” otherwise I’ll be inclined to think that you’re the one who’s trolling ;)
lol… he posted again and said “My url is down, I’ll post my name when you post a picture of yourself holding a sign saying Havohej for McCain”.
This isn’t 4chan.
Grow up.
