Awesome vid, Jed. Maybe your best yet! This is something that needs to get on the air, and spread as far and wide as possible. Sarah Palin is far more of a terrorist that Barack Obama ever COULD be!

Guilty by associations. Yes, lets say they're wrong, then do the exact same thing. www.filthyrichmond.com
Why doesn't someone send this to MSMBC or CNN? Anyone wanting to secede from the US is certainly not patriotic.

If you're going to poke around the AIP then you should mention Volger's murder after a botched plastic explosives sale in 1993; this happened 2 years prior to McVey and in the middle of a growth of right-wing Clinton hatred. Who knows what Volger was planning but I'll bethcha' my next PFD check those explosives weren't for fishin'.

akiceman - Actually, it was the growth of what was called back then, "the militia movement". Those people were usually remnants of neo-nazi groups from the 80's that reformed into "militias" and were particularly energized by the death of Randy Weaver's family during the stand-off at Ruby Ridge, ID and of course the Branch Davidians in Waco. There was another compound in MT that got taken down, that had a massive weapons stockpile.
These groups twice bombed the Federal Courthouse in Spokane, WA. A group in the process of acquiriing bomb making material was caught in Bellingham, WA and there are so many incidents that I cannot even name them all. If you want to find out more about these types of groups, you should read David Niewart's blog "Orincus". AIP is no different.

This part of Milbank's article makes it sound like Secessionist Sarah is throwing McCain under the bus...
As the donors sipped their bloody marys and mimosas, she added, in a conspiratorial stage whisper, "I'm sending the message back to John McCain also: Tomorrow night in his debate, might as well take the gloves off."

Jed - I figured that out when she refused to defend McCain in the debate, then immediately following, volunteered twice in two days that she was out of the loop on MI and wanted to continue to campaign there. Then went to Omaha and told them that the only reason she was there is because she just wanted to come and see them today. Nothing to do with that one EV at all.
I guess she figures that perhaps if she attacks Obama enough and they pull out a win, she can be President, but if she also makes sure to leave little hints along the way to every constituency that she visits as little chits for later. I hope like hell that investigation brings her down on Friday. But, wiith her checkered "Alaska First" past, drug selling son, pregnant teen daughter and everything else, there is a lot of grist for a vicious Republican primary in 2012. And if she does not do enough to distance herself from McCain during the next 4 weeks, and this thing ends in a blowout, she could have a lot of baggage following her around for 4 years.

I thought this was really good, too. (and I guess her hatred of country is how she justifies federal tax evasion and, don't forget, illegal use of government staff to babysit for her kids while she works.)
BTW - I know it is that Milbank sleezeball, but this story is truly disturbing. They are taking Hillary's white grievance campaign to a whole new disturbing and demagogic level. Like it wasn't bad enough then. It feels like we are on the brink of corporatist fascism and McCain and Palin are enlisting their brownshirts. Political violence cannot be far off. I know that Richard Cohen is a dimwit, but he was absolutely correct here.
The Great Depression was not just a period of wholesale unemployment and incredible poverty -- of bread lines and apple-peddlers and women selling brief intimacy for 10 cents a dance. It was also the period of Hitler and Mussolini and, in this country, of Huey Long and Father Charles Coughlin, and the belief among otherwise sane people that communism was the remedy for what ailed us. An economic crisis is like war. It's impossible to contain. It affects everything it touches. Even Peggy Noonan is afraid of her brand of "populism", if you can call it that. The veiled undercurrent in that Ricahrd Cohen article is the similarity between her language and the language of demagogues and anti-semites almost a century ago (I wonder if that is what is making so many Jewish people uncomfortable with her, the ease and vitriol with which she rails against "the elites" is disturbing). And Roger Cohen has her dead to rights as an anti-semite, although he doesn't fully come out and say it. But Palin sure seems to have a habit of using quotes in her speeches from anti-semites or quotes that just diminish the Jewish experience.
And of course she sat in the pews and did not get up after hearing multip sermons at her church that blamed Jews for their own deaths from terrorism because oftheir lack of faith in Christ and a sermon that was right out the Protocols. Yikes.

I know it's going to be unpopular for me to say this, but I think that although Milbank was totally wrong when he did his presumptuous article, the response was a bit much -- this cycle other than that one article, he's been pretty solid.
For example, if it weren't for Milbank, donuts wouldn't have ended up becoming the perfect symbol for the AP (he wrote about it).
But I won't waste my time defending him.
I totally agree with your larger point. The site of that cop on stage --- WITH A LOADED FUCKING GUN --- at a rally, and then for someone to yell "KILL HIM".
These guys are fucking fascist wannabes.
And they have no sense of irony, for what is it other than ironic when a guy yells out "KILL HIM" at a rally designed to portray the opponent as a terrorist?

Jed - Not to re-prosecute the "presumptuous" thing, but it was sleazy. And then the press reaction to his article was even worse, they loved it, snickering at the "uppity" undercurrent it presented and being able to run with it with legitmacy. And then of course, he flatly refused to engage readers in a discussion about it and instead called everyone reading his online chat at the WaPo "whiners" and a couple other things. The whole thing was bad.
What is disturbing to me though is that Milbank is the only one in the press, aside from Peggy Noonan, that appears at all concerned about this. All of the cable news shows loved it and all of them conveniently cut out where the person yelled "terorist" in response to "who is Barack Obama" from McCain. There is something extremely disturbing with the dynamic of this race. Everything about it, including the fact that the media, instead of hounding her every day for not giving one press conference (is it possible that we could have a VP that did not have a single press conference or answer a single tough adversarial question in an interview?), they are cheering her on. She didn't make any sense last week and the public have weighed in and she resoundingly lost the debate. However all the media now love her because she can "perform" and make vicious, untrue and unfounded attacks against Obama without reprisal.
Every time she says Ayers, someone in the media should be asking the rhetorical question to the audience, what about AIP? And note as Wolf Blitzer loves to do that they were invited to give their side of the story and declined. She even has a tax problem, which is a classic political scandal. Except for Palin, the tax problem is no problem for the media. After what Palin has been able to get away with, if I was a politician, I would tell every journalist to screw themselves and give them Sarah Palin as exhibit A.

Debrazza, I have to agree, this is frightening to me. I watched HRC dance along the racial/cultural divide. This gave the republiKLANS (who are widely viewed as separtist by many minorites) permission to open the flood gates. The "girl next door" Lipstick, is playing a divisive game she's not equipped to handle.
I DO want to know why they are not addressing head on the issues you've outlined. Do we have a verdict on Trooper-gate this Friday also?
Genevieve....I truly believe if Lipstick continues on w/her nasty rhetoric she won't stand a chance in 2012 either. She's too divisive. She's good for solidifying the base. My gosh if it were to come true, it would be frightening for the masses in the streets. After how she's played her hand, there'd be civil unrest in the streets.

I don't know about wannabees -- the seem to pretty much be fascists. To be able to utter these types of epithets in a public gathering and nobody condemns it in the crowd. Palin was silent, and then continued to whip them up. McCain paused, and then continued. Both had the opportunity to stop, and say that this is not condoned, nor allowed. They didn't.
Palin is in the South no less. Promoting the "otherness" meme. Heck, she might as well have put a white hood on her head to match her outfit.. and they can hand out torches.

Thank you Jed for your time and talents.
A few points: --No, don't waste time defending Milbank. Perhaps he could be encouraged to apologize, explain his moral breakdown, and then he could rejoin polite company.
-- Guns, uniforms, secessionists at the head of government, cries of "kill him". This is all incredibly disturbing. Pitchforks and burning crosses next.
-- The MSM's self-imposed gag on all of this amounts to collaboration with the rise of fascism. Frightening thing but I fear it is not an overstatement.

I think McCain doesn't know what his campaign is up to and is being played. The Republican big-wigs (Rove et al) know McCain isn't going to win so they're making sure to set up Palin for a 2012 run.
Why else is she being sent only to Republican strongholds even in swing-states? Why else is she playing only to the base knowing that's not going to get them a win?
I'm watching Maddow's show her interviewing Wasserman-Schulz, and Schulz says that Palin's rallies are in Republican strongholds, and indeed McCain's brainiac idea to cut Medicare to pay for his health plan obviously won't play in Florida.
There's some Machiavellian shit brewing amongst the Repubs and it's got me worried.

Buddy - the interesting thing is that I was thinking the same thing when they announced that she was in Clearwater, FL. Of course the strategy could be that they need her to excite the bas to turnout or else they lose big, which is why she is going where she is going.
If you want something to be worried about, I have a sinking feeling that they setup the Obama donor list with fraudulent donations. It is a straight Rove move, small donors are Obama's strength, they are going to try to make it s scandal. And it would not be hard to make a lot of fraudulent transactions from non-existent people. Or even from recruiting Nigerian identity thieves or even making donations under names of Islamic terrorists. If there is something to be worried about, that is it. Rove does not want to go to jail and that is what he and the rest of them are fighting for.

Mmm because whipping up the base is exactly what McCain was unable to do. Trust me, using her to whip up that frenzied mass of lunatics is exactly what the McCain campaign needed. What he's losing in the meantime is the independents, but they're betting that the base will move out in numbers greater than the independents are walking away.
WASHINGTON - GOP presidential nominee John McCain has past connections to a private group that supplied aid to guerrillas seeking to overthrow the leftist government of Nicaragua in the Iran-Contra affair.
*snip
The U.S. Council for World Freedom was part of an international organization linked to former Nazi collaborators and ultra-right-wing death squads in Central America. The group was dedicated to stamping out communism around the globe.
(after reading the entire article.... I'm sure there is no joy in McCainville over this one)

The Milbank article showed these whacko kook-jobs to be who they really are. They are getting frustrated and angry that their negative and sleazy tactics have not worked...and indeed may have alienated more moderates (even traditional Republicans) with their slime than they have converted. They are starting to act like caged wild animals. The McSame crowd gave up on trying to argue with facts and logic months ago. They are running out of time and they know it. Evidently, McSame is doing worse with woman now in the polls than before he chose Lipstick. No doubt many hardcore Palin supporters would love to see Barack end up just as Bobby Kennedy did.
Jed, AWESOME video! I was wondering when Sarah's AIP problem would get some legs. We need an all out massive campaign to make this the most viewed video on YouTube. People need to know the truth about Secessionist Sarah. I'm tired of the MSM giving her a pass on everything and not holding her to the same standard and scrutiny of every other major politiciain to seek high office. This video should be the tip of the iceberg in exposing Secessionist Sarah for who and what she really is: A wolf in sheeps clothing!

Jed, that's a great video, editing and music are just right.
I really, really wonder at the McCain strategy, especially in light of the debate. Doesn't McCain box himself in? He has viciously attacked Obama and in the last debate dripped with contempt. How will he react now? If he continues on this way, he scares off independents and moderates, and if he somehow turns around and just for that night suddenly becomes friendly, he appears totally schizophrenic, wedged as that is between attacks before and certainly afterwards.
johnwest

Buddy's point is thought provoking....no doubt the realists among Republican strategists know McSame's boat is sunk barring massive voter fraud. But to position this ignorant, self centered, unworldly pit bull lady as the heir in waiting....astounding, almost suicidal....dumb enough to actually maybe work.
Palin for President 2012? That sounds nuttier than McCain '08. But no one knows where our economy will be in three years. Any way you look at it, Iraq and Afghanistan will not end up pretty under President Obama, after he hopefully extricates us from those messes. Of course, as usual, the Republicans will not offer anything positive to move the nation forward as a minority party in Congress, unless the traditional conservatives reclaim their party from the right wing wackos. Unfortunately, election 2012, and all the dirty politics it will entail, is going to begin in January of 2009. What a dumb-assed system.
At least we can probably look forward to three reasonable Supreme Court picks from the Obama Administration over the next 4 years.

Ruh Oh, here's another one. McCain, you were warned.
Presidential hopeful John McCain has a connection to a former Alabama state trooper charged with the murder of a man at the height of the civil rights movement, according to documents obtained by The Star.
In the early 1990s, Sen. McCain, R-Ariz., wrote a letter to the State Department regarding James B. Fowler, who was at the time imprisoned in Thailand on narcotics charges. McCain's State Department letter was dated Nov. 15, 1991. It briefly explains Fowler's situation and asks Assistant Secretary Elizabeth Tamposi of the Office of Consular Affairs to look into his case.
In 2005, The Star published an interview with James B. Fowler who admitted publicly for the first time that he shot Jimmie Lee Jackson during a melee in February 1965 in the west Alabama town of Marion. Fowler insisted it was in self defense.
Why does McCain have connections to racist murders? Why was he a member of an organization of racists and antisemites? Why was he opposed to MLK day all the way up until 1989? Why has ne never visited or had contact with AZ miniscule Black community when Sen. Kyle has no problem doing it? Why does he hide his Bangladeshi daughter and pretend he only has one, Meghan? And why exactly is he so angry and dismissive about Barack Obama? We know that he has no problem using the word "gook" during his campaign in 2000 without apologizing. I am beginning to think that John McCain is a first class racist.

Ruh Oh, Part II. A day after the WSJ killed McCain in FL by reporting that he was going to cut Medicare by $1.3 trillion dollars. They are the first daily to report on Palin's wee little tax problem. Yeah, this is a problem and it should not go away. This is a slam dunk scandal for the media. This is classic political scandal and it really should end her candidacy, just like Ferraro's husbands tax problem ended hers.
And it is not a minor problem, she owes taxes on $25k of travel reimbursements for her kids. Which begs the question as to why in two years her kids have racked up $25k in travel charges. Were they collecting per diem for staying home in Wasilla too? If the media let this one drop, then they are completely incompetent.
looks like the kitchen sink is beginning to back up. Don't forget that the Alaska Supreme Court is supposed to issue a ruling on Thursday (I believe) regarding the Legislature's Investigation.
Alaska Supreme Court pending, and the economy isn't looking so hot.

MCCAIN CAUGHT IN A LIE
Sorry for the caps, but I think we just caught McCain in a lie. Here is what the AP reported about his involvement with USCWF.
McCain has said previously he resigned from the council in 1984 and asked in 1986 to have his name removed from the group's letterhead.
Singlaub tried to cover for him, saying this.
We had McCain on the board to make him feel like he wasn't left out. It looks good to have names on a letterhead who are well-known and appreciated.
But we have proof that McCain was active in the group in October 2005. On October 3rd, he as in Pakistan on a CODEL to preside over a ceremony giving an award to mujahadeen on behalf of USCWF. Juan Cole has the article from the AP.
Rep. Tom Loeffler, R-Tex., presented the "Freedom Fighter of the Year" award to Afghan resistance leader Wali Khan on behalf of the U.S. Council for World Freedom on Oct. 3.
Loeffler called on Congress and the American people to "broaden support" for freedom fighters in Afghanistan, reminding listeners of America's own fight for freedom.
Congress has agreed to give $15 million in covert assistance to the Afghan cause, the first time the legislators have "stepped forward" with aid since the beginning of the conflict, according to Loeffler. . .
Accepting the award on behalf of Khan was Pir Syed Ahmed Gailani, head of the National Islamic Front of Afghanistan, for which Khan commands 20,000 resistance fighters.
Other congressmen who joined Loeffler included Rep. Eldon Rudd and Rep. John McCain, both Arizona Republicans.
McCain on a CODEL to present an award to Afghani mujahadeen from this group where he said his only was a name on the letterhead? This was from 1985. I wonder if any of those people are now either Taleban or al Qaeda. That would be interesting and worth investigating.
Last week, on the second day of Eidul Fitr, the Muslim celebration to mark the end of the holy month of Ramadan, a suicide attacker tried to kill Asfandyar Wali Khan, the chief of the Pashtun sub-nationalist ANP, at his home about 20 kilometers from the NWFP capital, Peshawar. Four people were killed, but Wali Khan was unhurt.
Although the main target was missed, the attack had the desired effect - Wali Khan, an important American asset, has taken refuge in the capital Islamabad. Wali Khan had been groomed by the US after the September 11, 2001, attacks through many visits to the US, including this year's trip to Central Command headquarters in Florida.
Great video Jed, awesome work as usual. I want to also give my appreciation to everyone posting on here. You all have become the place where I can get the best reality of my day.
4 1/2 years ago, I lost my husband to the Irak war. 2 years ago, I lost my younger son to the Afghanistan war. I still have my oldest son in Afghanistan and of course, I'm desperate for him to come home soon. He is my only child left. Right now, I'm in Canada, with my daughter in law and my grand children waiting for his return.
I'm talking about this because you could say that I see all that is going on a bit differently. I know the economy is in a real bad shape. I know that.
When I was looking at the Democrat's convention, I smiled because for 4 days, we saw and felt Hope. Then I watched the Republican's convention and in the pit of my stomach I felt something was very wrong. For the first time I was actually seeing people do their very best to divide us. I saw the crowd cheer and chant at everyone's speech. I think what got to me the most was those reactions, coming from the crowd. I was actually feeling the beginning of a new fear in me. It's been getting worse.
And now, we have this new strategy of smears and fear coming from McCain and Palin. We are seeing the crowd react with "he is a terrorist!!" and "KILL HIM!!". I admit, it's working real good with me. I'm scared of where all this is going.
I refuse to accept that I lost my husband, my son that fought and gave their lives for those crowds. They died to keep them safe from terrorists. I refuse to believe they fought and died for the division and fear McCain and Palin are creating.
I'm not alone. Over 4,000 of our soldiers gave their life for us. I know the economy is issue number 1. I'm just asking that we do not forget our men and women that are fighting against the very reasons that McCain and Palin are trying to install in us.

Kimberly - Spot on! Our young men and women are fighting to keep us free. We must never forget the reason so many are involved in this campaign is for the hope change can bring if we pull together.
I'm a child of the depression. From '57-'63 I was a NYer living in Mississippi. The remembered fears that McCain/Palin are touching reminds me of FDR: "The only fear we have to fear, is fear itself."
The difference now is Obama/Biden offer real hope as we move through these challenging times.

debrazza,
I’m not worried about the donor issue for several reasons:
1. The FEC board is totally undermanned so they can’t accomplish a whole lot very fast, if anything at all
2. If a candidate discovers that they received illegal funds all they have to do is give it back. McCain has given back over $1.2 million
3. The Obama camp will demand that they also audit McCains campaign
4. This is not an issue that would get resolved in the next 20 days.

Thank you for your post here. I cannot imagine the suffering you've had to endure, and I pray for the safe return of your son still in Afghanistan. I don't usually post here or even necessarily ready comments because I can't even keep up with the great folks over at Mudflats as it is, but it's voices like yours that make such a difference in helping to get through this crazy time. It's become clear that the GOP ticket this year has alarmed great numbers of people, inspiring them to political activism, whether donating, volunteering, or blogging (or all of the above) for the first time. I can only hope that McCain-Palin are soundly repudiated Nov 4. Of course, I'll take a squeaker win too, as long as we win, but I'm so angry at the dishonor and dishonesty being spewed on this country by the Republicans, and the last thing we need right now is people stirring up divisions strictly for their own political gain. To repeat Andrew Sullivan's words of encouragement from the other month: patience and steel.

"Palin was a member of AIP before she got the job as mayor of a small town"
The blue tarp and duct tape in which the remains were wrapped, officials said, matched a description given by a convicted thief, Manfred West, who confessed last summer that he had killed Mr. Vogler in a plastic-explosives sale gone bad and had then buried him.
she was not just palling around. Sarah Palin was a member of the AIP

Jed, *great* video--it really does need to go viral! I'm sorry I went to turned in last night and missed all these great links. Ya'll are great and such a great source of support amidst this shit storm.
I was seething yesterday after I saw what happened at McCain and Palin rallies. I decided to write my GOP senator--I know it won't amount to anything but at least *I* feel better about doing it! LOL
Senator Grassley, in full disclosure I am a supporter of Senator Barack Obama. I was a caucus co-precinct captain here in and have revived my duties for the general election.
I have never written previously but feel compelled to do so following today's turn of events in Senator McCain's campaign. An audience at Senator McCain's event loudly called Senator Obama a terrorist. Governor Palin incited an audience by stating that Senator Obama pals around with a terrorist. The crowd reaction of "boo" is normal--but then someone in the crowd yells "Kill him!" A chilling outburst that deserved a rebuke.
Senator Grassley, I urge you as a highly regarded and respected member of your party to contact Senator McCain and tell him that there is no place in this campaign--or ever!--for fear mongering or for hate mongering. Dismissing hideous, hateful comments as if they aren't being heard is utterly despicable.
I understand that both campaigns have passionate supporters, but when audiences yell out "terrorist" or "kill him", I don't care which party it is--the messages coming from that particular camp are responsible for creating that appalling, threatening environment.
Senator Grassley, I urge you to contact Senator McCain and inform him that his scare tactics are not what Iowans want to hear and are truly appalling. Senator, thank you for your time and thank you for all you do for our great state.

Shouldn’t whipping up a crowd (at your political event) into a hate-filled frenzy until they start shouting “Kill him…kill him” (when talking about your opponent) be of concern to the United States Secret Service? McShame and Palin are encouraging violence against Obama as far as I’m concerned, and that’s not only despicable, it’s a Federal crime. I think they need a little “talking” to by law enforcement and the Secret Service.

"The Subject" ad does it again. I shows McCain deboarding a plane clutching the rail with the wraparound glasses with the text "out of touch". Last time that same photo accompanied the word "erratic". It is a devasting ad and that kind of stuff I know gets in McCain's head.
Pete - laws against inciting to violence require the actual violence. If they actually ran over and beat up the press, then yes. There is a claim for intional infliction of emotional distress (a tort) for the black sound guy who had racial epitets hurled at him, however he would have to show injury, like visits to a counselor.

COLORADO: Per the Rocky Mountain News: "More than 100,000 Coloradans registered to vote in the past five weeks, leaving the state almost equally divided between unaffiliated, Republican and Democratic voters." Democrats led the charge in the last month, outregistering Republicans by a margin of 2-1.
In Denver, the looming registration deadline has phones ringing off the hook. "The Denver Elections office received more than 6,000 registration or mail-ballot applications from voter drives alone on Monday. More than 95,000 forms have been received in Denver since May." It was so busy yesterday, an election clerk told the Rocky, "It sounds like Las Vegas in here."
.. much more here, including the some stories looking into the truthiness of Palin and Union connections..
What worried me most about the Palin rally were the reports that the media let the campaign block their access to supporters. I remember the days when we had media people who lived to confront fascist crap like that. All we have now is a bunch of spineless sycophants who acquiesce to every request. Pitiful.
I'm not worried about the donations thing. While the RNC is trying to raise doubts about Obama donors the FEC has demanded answers from the McCain campaign for its own illegal donations. Many of his supporters are thousands of dollars over the donation limits.
The third point I want to make is: this final stretch is a fight for the independent voters. The personal attacks may help solidify the GOP base but they turn Indys off bigtime.

What is even more pitful eclectic is that the event was in a public place. A public place. This is not some private event. It is a public event in a public place and these people voluntarily allowed themselves to be told where they could go and who they could and could not talk to. What's the point of a first amendment really.
BTW - Palin is on TV right now and she was reciting her smear about "air raiding villages" and a man yelled "treason".

And if they want to play guilt by donor association, how'bout this one from a few months back, right around the time McShameful went to Columbia::
"McCain Backer's Firm Pleaded Guilty To Funding Terrorist Group In Colombia"
"Late last week, Lindner co-hosted a $25,000-per-person fundraiser for McCain and the Republican Party in the wealthy Indian Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio. The event raised about $2 million; Lindner also serves on McCain's Ohio Victory Team...."
"...That the Arizona Republican is raising funds from a man whose company once paid that very same terrorist group seems likely to sully his charge."
I agree however, we have a lot of people who would rather cut off their noise to spite their faces

Perhaps they will cease and desist if their own questionable associations are paraded with equal vigor, but this middle school behavior does NOTHING to move this country forward and I for one am so tired of the slime and smear and just want the whole mess to be over...and to have Barack Hussein Obama, proud American and Patriot, as our next President

Don't freak out though. The problem appears to be that Obama is losing his advantage on the Economy. The CBS/NYT poll that had the race at 3 has found the same thing as this Hotline Poll. Obama's advantage on the economy has evaporated.
The "raise your taxes" lie is probably starting to set in and work. Obama needs to hit back hard on this. He should have been out in front on this months ago instead of letting McCain lie all summer about his tax plan. Why not do TV ads about tax cuts instead? That may just be a strategic error in a campaign with few of them.
Zogby has a new tracking poll with the same result as the Hotline and CBS/NYT.
Enjoy today folks because we are likely to see the numbers drop dramatically come tomorrow. The press will say it is Ayers, it isn't. But it is notable that Obama has been mostly in the national news since the VP debate (they love Palin and love to show her lying about Obama) and Biden has been off the trail.

Voters, the survey finds, believe Obama responded to the crisis more effectively than McCain did. Thirty-four percent say they felt more reassured by Obama's approach, versus 29 percent who said they felt less reassured.
That's compared with just 25 percent who were reassured by McCain's response, versus 38 percent who were less reassured.
Pete - understand, today is the highpoint so it can be difficult to see it turn, but if you look carefully at the cross tabs of the most recent polls and particularly the ones showing a tighter race, there are distinct similarities. Both the Hotline and CBS/NYT polls show that Obama's edge on the economy has shrunk and that both candidates are even. This was exactly what voters perceptions were about the economy before the meltdown started and the two were tied. It is not inconceivable that it would revert back to that because McCain's message that Obama will raise your taxes is getting through. They even report it on the news without qualifying it, that it is only for the rich. And Obama has done nothing much to define himself on the tax issue, except for the convention and the debates. He needs to drop the 95% line and just say "I will cut your taxes" period.
Plus, it seems clear that the media is turning against Obama, because all they want to talk about is Wright and Ayers. Despite the fact that neither are "news stories". Why did the NYT write that story when they did? It had no news value and was just a give back to McCain because the McCain campaign had tarred them as in the tank for Obama. And now, that story is the leading thing that is driving Ayers. Palin cites it and the rest of the media follows.

I do not believe that McCain/Palin will the next President/ Vice President. If the are voted America is finished. I think that the Republican party is racist and their comments are racially undertoned. I think the Republican party is sexist because of the jokes made about Chelsea Clinton, and it's treatment of Sen Clinton. The jokes made by McCain about rape is horrible. I think it is sexist in the way that they use Palin to become the voice for the accusations against Obama. She wasn't allowed to speak at all, and when she does it is with bitterness and racial comments. We are going to end up with a "Lynch-Mob-Kill-Terrorist". because of this, and if it becomes into a nation of hate, than The McCain Palin ticket have only themselves to thank.

SUSA PENNSYLVANIA O:55 M:40
Pennsylvania Whites Switch Horses, and Suddenly Obama is 15 Furlongs Ahead: In an election for President of the United States in Pennsylvania today, 10/07/08, four weeks to the vote, Democrat Barack OBAMA defeats Republican John McCain 55% to 40%, according to a SurveyUSA tracking poll conducted exclusively for WCAU-TV Philadelphia, KDKA-TV Pittsburgh, WNEP-TV Scranton, WHTM-TV Harrisburg, and WJAC-TV Johnstown. Compared to an identical SurveyUSA poll released twelve days ago, Obama is up 5 points; McCain is down 4.
Off Topic: So in the last 2 days, this is what can be overheard by McCain and Palin supoprters: "Kill Him!", "Terrorist!", "Treason!" and "Sit Down, Boy!". When will someone in the MSM pose this hypothetical: What if, God forbid, something tragic happens to a President Obama. Will McCain and Palin be able to shoulder their part of the blame for whipping their supporters into a bunch of frothing-at-the-mouth lunatics?
They are getting down right disgraceful.

Things John McShame should have done before announcing his running mate: VET her.
Ayers has no legs because most people already know about it and Obama has denounced Ayers' past activities, besides Obama was only 8-years old at the time all that stuff was going on. Also there is no indication that Ayers has been involved in anything like that since. So in most people’s eyes, trying to tie Obama to a terrorist is like saying he has a secret hideout in the Bermuda Triangle and he's responsible for all the missing planes and ships.
Wright has no legs either. All the people that will not vote for Obama because of Wright have already made up their minds. Independents and most undecided voters are well aware that these are old tired issues being used by the McCain camp as a distraction.
The timing of the debate is perfect. Once again, it seems like the stars are aligned against McCain. Obama will get a chance to comment on both issues in front of millions of people. He will be able to cite that McCain has admitted that their game plan is to turn the page on the economy and put the focus on him. And he will be able to set the record straight on Ayers and Wright for anyone who still see it as an issue.
If Obama exposes McCain's plan to forget about the economy and put the focus on him; and if he Obama does a good job of putting Ayers and Wright to bed, I think Obama will go even higher in the polls.

These "anti-americans" are just merely even more pissed off about the federal government in this country than liberal democrats.... the difference is these "secessionists" are actually trying to do something about it.. That doesn't seem anti-american to me at all..... In fact that is precisely the way that the founding fathers viewed the rule of the king..... so contrary to this video if sara Pallin is buddying up to these (although, I kow for a fact that she isn't) it would mean that she is even more of an american for it.

The Palins' un-American activities Imagine if the Obamas had hooked up with a violently anti-American group in league with the government of Iran.
Oct. 7, 2008 | "My government is my worst enemy. I'm going to fight them with any means at hand."
This was former revolutionary terrorist Bill Ayers back in his old Weather Underground days, right? Imagine what Sarah Palin is going to do with this incendiary quote as she tears into Barack Obama this week.
Only one problem. The quote is from Joe Vogler, the raging anti-American who founded the Alaska Independence Party. Inconveniently for Palin, that's the very same secessionist party that her husband, Todd, belonged to for seven years and that she sent a shout-out to as Alaska governor earlier this year. ("Keep up the good work," Palin told AIP members. "And God bless you.")
While I agree that Sarah Palin is not be trusted with national powers for the good of all, I'd like to say a word for Secession, which, in the case of Californiamigh tnot be a bad idea. California is ripped off by our federal government, while producing much of the union's wealth. If we were to seceed, the federal gov't would have diminished capabiltites to harm the people of other countries. California would also be a less attractive target for terrorists. So - while the irony of a secessionist running for federal office does not escape me, neither does the benefit of my state giving it a loud voice, if only to get a little real attention.

Hi all...
Nice work Jed. Very sharp.
For all you people worried about Palin 2012, don't be. Keep the pressure up, keep the information flowing. You'll see that you have some very surprising allies in this fight - the GOP itself.
Palin was not the Rove choice. Palin was a tantrum choice made by McCain when he couldn't swing Liebermann. Rove and the Bushes wanted Romney instead.
Believe me, the sludge coming out of Palin is noxious enough that GOP politicians (who, whether we care to admit it or not, at least think they are serving their nation) will fight tooth and nail to take her down.
Expect a serious number to be done on Palin's reputation before 2012 that permanently disqualifies her. Expect it to have a GOP source. They know she is dangerous. They just can't politically touch her now. And they didn't want her there anyway - after all, the religious right are supposed to be unthinking foot soldiers in the Bush view, not commanding officers.
Who are Sarah Palin and Todd Palin? I think we need to investigate more about them, Troopergate investigation, their association with AIP, THE WITCH HUNTER, KILLING ANIMALS FOR SPORT RATHER THAN NEED, etc. Evidently they think they come as one package, or Sarah is as incompetent as she seems, and Todd has to do her work for her.
I also think since John is 72, we need to know as much as we can about THESE TWO QUESTIONABLE PEOPLE. McCain, himself, is not without SUSPICION! What is his association with the Iran Contra and the US Council for World Freedom? IS HE REALLY A TERRORIST? ARE the Palins REALLY TERRORISTS, SINCE THEY WANT TO SECEDE FROM THE US?
Cindy needs to STOP THE HOLIER THAN THOU WITH HER RECORD OF BEING A DRUG ABUSER AND THIEF! SHE NEEDS TO CHECK HER ADULTEROUS HUSBAND'S VOTES BEFORE SHE BLAMES ANYONE ELSE! Since we are CHECKING ON PEOPLE, LET's CHECK them out!
Since they are inciting the crowds with vicious HATE SPEECH AGAINST OBAMA, WE NEED TO KNOW THEIR TIES TO TERRORISTS TOO!

As I posted to RFK Jr's companion piece on Huffpost, Bob Schiefer has the power to end this election cycle next Wednesday with a single question (not that he will, he also apparently is McCain-leaning), something like:
"Senator McCain, recently your running mate has been attacking Obama for what she claims are links to a domestic terrorist in his past, Bill Ayers. Because of this she is now coming under scrutiny for her own more recent ties to a secessionist organization, the Alaskan Independence Party. It seems in all fairness you should have the opportunity to respond in her defense, since Senator Obama is already on record condemning Ayers past actions before they ever met.
"So are you and Governor Palin willing to condemn this group that she has had associations with as recently as March of this year? Or if elected would you condone (and would Vice President Palin pursue) a plan of removing Alaska from the United States, with all the possibilities for Russian intervention and threats to our domestic oil supply that would follow?
"Two minutes, Senator."
- that would deliver the game three weeks early.

Barack Obama arrives at the Pearly Gates and is greeted by Saint Peter: "May I go in?" asks Obama. "First I must ask you a few questions" answers the heavenly gatekeeper. "O.K." replies Obama, "I'm pretty good at Q & A." "Well," asks the saint, "What did you accomplish in your time on Earth to merit spending eternity in Paradise?" "I was elected the first Black president of the United States of America!" proudly states Obama. "A Black president in America!" exclaims Saint Peter. "When did this happen?" "About 20 minutes ago" Obama answers.

These groups twice bombed the Federal Courthouse in Spokane, WA. A group in the process of acquiriing bomb making material was caught in Bellingham, WA and there are so many incidents that I cannot even name them all. If you want to find out more about these types of groups, you should read David Niewart's blog "Orincus". AIP is no different.
I guess she figures that perhaps if she attacks Obama enough and they pull out a win, she can be President, but if she also makes sure to leave little hints along the way to every constituency that she visits as little chits for later. I hope like hell that investigation brings her down on Friday. But, wiith her checkered "Alaska First" past, drug selling son, pregnant teen daughter and everything else, there is a lot of grist for a vicious Republican primary in 2012. And if she does not do enough to distance herself from McCain during the next 4 weeks, and this thing ends in a blowout, she could have a lot of baggage following her around for 4 years.

BTW - I know it is that Milbank sleezeball, but this story is truly disturbing. They are taking Hillary's white grievance campaign to a whole new disturbing and demagogic level. Like it wasn't bad enough then. It feels like we are on the brink of corporatist fascism and McCain and Palin are enlisting their brownshirts. Political violence cannot be far off. I know that Richard Cohen is a dimwit, but he was absolutely correct here.
For example, if it weren't for Milbank, donuts wouldn't have ended up becoming the perfect symbol for the AP (he wrote about it).
But I won't waste my time defending him.
I totally agree with your larger point. The site of that cop on stage --- WITH A LOADED FUCKING GUN --- at a rally, and then for someone to yell "KILL HIM".
These guys are fucking fascist wannabes.
And they have no sense of irony, for what is it other than ironic when a guy yells out "KILL HIM" at a rally designed to portray the opponent as a terrorist?
What is disturbing to me though is that Milbank is the only one in the press, aside from Peggy Noonan, that appears at all concerned about this. All of the cable news shows loved it and all of them conveniently cut out where the person yelled "terorist" in response to "who is Barack Obama" from McCain. There is something extremely disturbing with the dynamic of this race. Everything about it, including the fact that the media, instead of hounding her every day for not giving one press conference (is it possible that we could have a VP that did not have a single press conference or answer a single tough adversarial question in an interview?), they are cheering her on. She didn't make any sense last week and the public have weighed in and she resoundingly lost the debate. However all the media now love her because she can "perform" and make vicious, untrue and unfounded attacks against Obama without reprisal.
Every time she says Ayers, someone in the media should be asking the rhetorical question to the audience, what about AIP? And note as Wolf Blitzer loves to do that they were invited to give their side of the story and declined. She even has a tax problem, which is a classic political scandal. Except for Palin, the tax problem is no problem for the media. After what Palin has been able to get away with, if I was a politician, I would tell every journalist to screw themselves and give them Sarah Palin as exhibit A.
I have to agree, this is frightening to me. I watched HRC dance along the racial/cultural divide. This gave the republiKLANS (who are widely viewed as separtist by many minorites) permission to open the flood gates. The "girl next door" Lipstick, is playing a divisive game she's not equipped to handle.
I DO want to know why they are not addressing head on the issues you've outlined. Do we have a verdict on Trooper-gate this Friday also?
Genevieve....I truly believe if Lipstick continues on w/her nasty rhetoric she won't stand a chance in 2012 either. She's too divisive. She's good for solidifying the base. My gosh if it were to come true, it would be frightening for the masses in the streets. After how she's played her hand, there'd be civil unrest in the streets.
Palin is in the South no less. Promoting the "otherness" meme. Heck, she might as well have put a white hood on her head to match her outfit.. and they can hand out torches.
A few points:
--No, don't waste time defending Milbank. Perhaps he could be encouraged to apologize, explain his moral breakdown, and then he could rejoin polite company.
-- Guns, uniforms, secessionists at the head of government, cries of "kill him". This is all incredibly disturbing. Pitchforks and burning crosses next.
-- The MSM's self-imposed gag on all of this amounts to collaboration with the rise of fascism. Frightening thing but I fear it is not an overstatement.
Why else is she being sent only to Republican strongholds even in swing-states? Why else is she playing only to the base knowing that's not going to get them a win?
I'm watching Maddow's show her interviewing Wasserman-Schulz, and Schulz says that Palin's rallies are in Republican strongholds, and indeed McCain's brainiac idea to cut Medicare to pay for his health plan obviously won't play in Florida.
There's some Machiavellian shit brewing amongst the Repubs and it's got me worried.
If you want something to be worried about, I have a sinking feeling that they setup the Obama donor list with fraudulent donations. It is a straight Rove move, small donors are Obama's strength, they are going to try to make it s scandal. And it would not be hard to make a lot of fraudulent transactions from non-existent people. Or even from recruiting Nigerian identity thieves or even making donations under names of Islamic terrorists. If there is something to be worried about, that is it. Rove does not want to go to jail and that is what he and the rest of them are fighting for.

How will he react now? If he continues on this way, he scares off independents and moderates, and if he somehow turns around and just for that night suddenly becomes friendly, he appears totally schizophrenic, wedged as that is between attacks before and certainly afterwards.
Palin for President 2012? That sounds nuttier than McCain '08. But no one knows where our economy will be in three years. Any way you look at it, Iraq and Afghanistan will not end up pretty under President Obama, after he hopefully extricates us from those messes. Of course, as usual, the Republicans will not offer anything positive to move the nation forward as a minority party in Congress, unless the traditional conservatives reclaim their party from the right wing wackos. Unfortunately, election 2012, and all the dirty politics it will entail, is going to begin in January of 2009. What a dumb-assed system.
At least we can probably look forward to three reasonable Supreme Court picks from the Obama Administration over the next 4 years.

Why does McCain have connections to racist murders? Why was he a member of an organization of racists and antisemites? Why was he opposed to MLK day all the way up until 1989? Why has ne never visited or had contact with AZ miniscule Black community when Sen. Kyle has no problem doing it? Why does he hide his Bangladeshi daughter and pretend he only has one, Meghan? And why exactly is he so angry and dismissive about Barack Obama? We know that he has no problem using the word "gook" during his campaign in 2000 without apologizing. I am beginning to think that John McCain is a first class racist.

And it is not a minor problem, she owes taxes on $25k of travel reimbursements for her kids. Which begs the question as to why in two years her kids have racked up $25k in travel charges. Were they collecting per diem for staying home in Wasilla too? If the media let this one drop, then they are completely incompetent.

what about forward it to the pundits and cable news ?
I think people need to watch it, on TV.
Great job !
Sorry for the caps, but I think we just caught McCain in a lie. Here is what the AP reported about his involvement with USCWF.
Singlaub tried to cover for him, saying this.
But we have proof that McCain was active in the group in October 2005. On October 3rd, he as in Pakistan on a CODEL to preside over a ceremony giving an award to mujahadeen on behalf of USCWF. Juan Cole has the article from the AP.
McCain on a CODEL to present an award to Afghani mujahadeen from this group where he said his only was a name on the letterhead? This was from 1985. I wonder if any of those people are now either Taleban or al Qaeda. That would be interesting and worth investigating.

This should be investigated. We have an association to nazi's and death squads and covered up with a lie.

Ok, it gets more interesting.... this article is from today.

Last week, on the second day of Eidul Fitr, the Muslim celebration to mark the end of the holy month of Ramadan, a suicide attacker tried to kill Asfandyar Wali Khan, the chief of the Pashtun sub-nationalist ANP, at his home about 20 kilometers from the NWFP capital, Peshawar. Four people were killed, but Wali Khan was unhurt.
Although the main target was missed, the attack had the desired effect - Wali Khan, an important American asset, has taken refuge in the capital Islamabad. Wali Khan had been groomed by the US after the September 11, 2001, attacks through many visits to the US, including this year's trip to Central Command headquarters in Florida.

4 1/2 years ago, I lost my husband to the Irak war. 2 years ago, I lost my younger son to the Afghanistan war. I still have my oldest son in Afghanistan and of course, I'm desperate for him to come home soon. He is my only child left. Right now, I'm in Canada, with my daughter in law and my grand children waiting for his return.
I'm talking about this because you could say that I see all that is going on a bit differently. I know the economy is in a real bad shape. I know that.
When I was looking at the Democrat's convention, I smiled because for 4 days, we saw and felt Hope. Then I watched the Republican's convention and in the pit of my stomach I felt something was very wrong. For the first time I was actually seeing people do their very best to divide us. I saw the crowd cheer and chant at everyone's speech. I think what got to me the most was those reactions, coming from the crowd. I was actually feeling the beginning of a new fear in me. It's been getting worse.
And now, we have this new strategy of smears and fear coming from McCain and Palin. We are seeing the crowd react with "he is a terrorist!!" and "KILL HIM!!". I admit, it's working real good with me. I'm scared of where all this is going.
I refuse to accept that I lost my husband, my son that fought and gave their lives for those crowds. They died to keep them safe from terrorists. I refuse to believe they fought and died for the division and fear McCain and Palin are creating.
I'm not alone. Over 4,000 of our soldiers gave their life for us. I know the economy is issue number 1. I'm just asking that we do not forget our men and women that are fighting against the very reasons that McCain and Palin are trying to install in us.
Thank you for your very touching, thoughtful and insightful comments.
My heart goes out to you for your losses and for what you have had to endure, as well as what must be an agonizing worry for your other son.
I teared up from just reading your words, yet you live with this reality every minute and you seem to possess an inner strength and grace that is truly inspiring.
Wishing you a peaceful heart and praying for your son's safe return.
Let's continue to 'hope' for a better day!
Again, thank you.

10/7 Daily Kos R2K Tracking Poll: Obama 52, McCain 41
I'm a child of the depression. From '57-'63 I was a NYer living in Mississippi. The remembered fears that McCain/Palin are touching reminds me of FDR: "The only fear we have to fear, is fear itself."
The difference now is Obama/Biden offer real hope as we move through these challenging times.
I’m not worried about the donor issue for several reasons:
1. The FEC board is totally undermanned so they can’t accomplish a whole lot very fast, if anything at all
2. If a candidate discovers that they received illegal funds all they have to do is give it back. McCain has given back over $1.2 million
3. The Obama camp will demand that they also audit McCains campaign
4. This is not an issue that would get resolved in the next 20 days.
You out did yourself on this video. It has to go viral. It's not even negative, it's just the damn truth.
you are the man, this v ideo needs to be posted everywhere.
BTW, is it a coincidence that both, at the McCain New Mexico and Palin Florida rallies, someone shouted KILL HIM?? Do you think they are intentionally trying to provoke Obama's assassination??
Thank you for your post here. I cannot imagine the suffering you've had to endure, and I pray for the safe return of your son still in Afghanistan. I don't usually post here or even necessarily ready comments because I can't even keep up with the great folks over at Mudflats as it is, but it's voices like yours that make such a difference in helping to get through this crazy time. It's become clear that the GOP ticket this year has alarmed great numbers of people, inspiring them to political activism, whether donating, volunteering, or blogging (or all of the above) for the first time. I can only hope that McCain-Palin are soundly repudiated Nov 4. Of course, I'll take a squeaker win too, as long as we win, but I'm so angry at the dishonor and dishonesty being spewed on this country by the Republicans, and the last thing we need right now is people stirring up divisions strictly for their own political gain. To repeat Andrew Sullivan's words of encouragement from the other month: patience and steel.
It's almost anti-Christ-like w/that music. lol This "group" that's segregated. They actually HATE the United States. But the most damning of all comments was when he said basically to put the RepublicKLAN brand on it. These people are FRIGHTENING!!! And their base LOVES it. That's even More frightening.
Again, Jed...this video IS perfect. lol
And when McLipstick comes after Barack w/Ayres, Rescko and Wright....he needs to ask them while Rome's burning is that all you've got????? They really SHOULDN'T throw stones....in fact...they shouldn't even kick one in front of them...just step over it. Don't even glance down.... lol I told you all this was ganna be a lonnnng episode of Beavis and Butthead. lol
Palin interview in Florida. What she says they are going to do and what they are doing are polar opposites.
LOL she can't tell the guy what they will do. She is just saying the SAME stuff she says on the stump. Pathetic.
When he asks her How is she qualified -- she doesn't answer... more talking points. She's a disaster.
(I had to turn off the digg features on the site because it was slowing everything down.)
So please help get the word out by just forwarding it to friends -- hopefully when I wake up, digg will be back online, and I can turn it on.
Don't mince words, Jed!
John - Your right, why mince words? Great job of vetting on McCain's aprt. It all has to underscore what a loose canon he is.

I was seething yesterday after I saw what happened at McCain and Palin rallies. I decided to write my GOP senator--I know it won't amount to anything but at least *I* feel better about doing it! LOL
Senator Grassley, in full disclosure I am a supporter of Senator Barack Obama. I was a caucus co-precinct captain here in and have revived my duties for the general election.
I have never written previously but feel compelled to do so following today's turn of events in Senator McCain's campaign. An audience at Senator McCain's event loudly called Senator Obama a terrorist. Governor Palin incited an audience by stating that Senator Obama pals around with a terrorist. The crowd reaction of "boo" is normal--but then someone in the crowd yells "Kill him!" A chilling outburst that deserved a rebuke.
Senator Grassley, I urge you as a highly regarded and respected member of your party to contact Senator McCain and tell him that there is no place in this campaign--or ever!--for fear mongering or for hate mongering. Dismissing hideous, hateful comments as if they aren't being heard is utterly despicable.
I understand that both campaigns have passionate supporters, but when audiences yell out "terrorist" or "kill him", I don't care which party it is--the messages coming from that particular camp are responsible for creating that appalling, threatening environment.
Senator Grassley, I urge you to contact Senator McCain and inform him that his scare tactics are not what Iowans want to hear and are truly appalling. Senator, thank you for your time and thank you for all you do for our great state.
Pete - laws against inciting to violence require the actual violence. If they actually ran over and beat up the press, then yes. There is a claim for intional infliction of emotional distress (a tort) for the black sound guy who had racial epitets hurled at him, however he would have to show injury, like visits to a counselor.
In Denver, the looming registration deadline has phones ringing off the hook. "The Denver Elections office received more than 6,000 registration or mail-ballot applications from voter drives alone on Monday. More than 95,000 forms have been received in Denver since May." It was so busy yesterday, an election clerk told the Rocky, "It sounds like Las Vegas in here."

I'm not worried about the donations thing. While the RNC is trying to raise doubts about Obama donors the FEC has demanded answers from the McCain campaign for its own illegal donations. Many of his supporters are thousands of dollars over the donation limits.
The third point I want to make is: this final stretch is a fight for the independent voters. The personal attacks may help solidify the GOP base but they turn Indys off bigtime.
BTW - Palin is on TV right now and she was reciting her smear about "air raiding villages" and a man yelled "treason".
"McCain Backer's Firm Pleaded Guilty To Funding Terrorist Group In Colombia"
"Late last week, Lindner co-hosted a $25,000-per-person fundraiser for McCain and the Republican Party in the wealthy Indian Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio. The event raised about $2 million; Lindner also serves on McCain's Ohio Victory Team...."
"...That the Arizona Republican is raising funds from a man whose company once paid that very same terrorist group seems likely to sully his charge."

Don't freak out though. The problem appears to be that Obama is losing his advantage on the Economy. The CBS/NYT poll that had the race at 3 has found the same thing as this Hotline Poll. Obama's advantage on the economy has evaporated.
http://hotlineblog.nationaljournal.com/archives...
The "raise your taxes" lie is probably starting to set in and work. Obama needs to hit back hard on this. He should have been out in front on this months ago instead of letting McCain lie all summer about his tax plan. Why not do TV ads about tax cuts instead? That may just be a strategic error in a campaign with few of them.
Zogby has a new tracking poll with the same result as the Hotline and CBS/NYT.
http://www.pollster.com/blogs/us_obama_48_mccai...
Enjoy today folks because we are likely to see the numbers drop dramatically come tomorrow. The press will say it is Ayers, it isn't. But it is notable that Obama has been mostly in the national news since the VP debate (they love Palin and love to show her lying about Obama) and Biden has been off the trail.
That's compared with just 25 percent who were reassured by McCain's response, versus 38 percent who were less reassured.

Plus, it seems clear that the media is turning against Obama, because all they want to talk about is Wright and Ayers. Despite the fact that neither are "news stories". Why did the NYT write that story when they did? It had no news value and was just a give back to McCain because the McCain campaign had tarred them as in the tank for Obama. And now, that story is the leading thing that is driving Ayers. Palin cites it and the rest of the media follows.
The WSJ poll on the economy hasn't budged and shows Obama with a commanding lead on the economy. Also Obama has his biggest lead to date in the general election poll.
I got the "Oops!" page too on Digg. But I did a search to pull up the page. Here is the link:
http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Sarah_Palin%3...)
Oops, what you're looking for isn't here!
Read in an earlier post from Jed that digg was having problems so maybe that's it.
I fully agree that if this Ayers thing goes unchallenged (even though it has already been fully debunked), that the numbers will tighten up some, with the total cooperation of the Reich-publican-owned media.
I think the Obama campain needs to hit back on Palin's AIP membership. The media will focus on a topic once it's (the topic) been pushed enough.

Pennsylvania Whites Switch Horses, and Suddenly Obama is 15 Furlongs Ahead: In an election for President of the United States in Pennsylvania today, 10/07/08, four weeks to the vote, Democrat Barack OBAMA defeats Republican John McCain 55% to 40%, according to a SurveyUSA tracking poll conducted exclusively for WCAU-TV Philadelphia, KDKA-TV Pittsburgh, WNEP-TV Scranton, WHTM-TV Harrisburg, and WJAC-TV Johnstown. Compared to an identical SurveyUSA poll released twelve days ago, Obama is up 5 points; McCain is down 4.

Wright has no legs either. All the people that will not vote for Obama because of Wright have already made up their minds. Independents and most undecided voters are well aware that these are old tired issues being used by the McCain camp as a distraction.
The timing of the debate is perfect. Once again, it seems like the stars are aligned against McCain. Obama will get a chance to comment on both issues in front of millions of people. He will be able to cite that McCain has admitted that their game plan is to turn the page on the economy and put the focus on him. And he will be able to set the record straight on Ayers and Wright for anyone who still see it as an issue.
If Obama exposes McCain's plan to forget about the economy and put the focus on him; and if he Obama does a good job of putting Ayers and Wright to bed, I think Obama will go even higher in the polls.

A ravenous wolf in sheet clothing. You know her by her fruits. The ACCUSER from the Bible.
Imagine if the Obamas had hooked up with a violently anti-American group in league with the government of Iran.
Oct. 7, 2008 | "My government is my worst enemy. I'm going to fight them with any means at hand."
This was former revolutionary terrorist Bill Ayers back in his old Weather Underground days, right? Imagine what Sarah Palin is going to do with this incendiary quote as she tears into Barack Obama this week.
Only one problem. The quote is from Joe Vogler, the raging anti-American who founded the Alaska Independence Party. Inconveniently for Palin, that's the very same secessionist party that her husband, Todd, belonged to for seven years and that she sent a shout-out to as Alaska governor earlier this year. ("Keep up the good work," Palin told AIP members. "And God bless you.")

They are all idiots, when I see they do something against the grain I am impresses. I am impressed by Obama's relationship with the "terrorist" and I am equally impressed with the association of Palin to the "Secessionists".
It will be a cold day in hell before I vote for either. The linkages in the video are weak. Politicians pander to anyone who will vote for them.
Does anyone think they have any agenda but power?
Secession is an important component of the "consent of the governed" approach, which is often considered a componenent of a government's legitimacy.
Nice work Jed. Very sharp.
For all you people worried about Palin 2012, don't be. Keep the pressure up, keep the information flowing. You'll see that you have some very surprising allies in this fight - the GOP itself.
Palin was not the Rove choice. Palin was a tantrum choice made by McCain when he couldn't swing Liebermann. Rove and the Bushes wanted Romney instead.
Believe me, the sludge coming out of Palin is noxious enough that GOP politicians (who, whether we care to admit it or not, at least think they are serving their nation) will fight tooth and nail to take her down.
Expect a serious number to be done on Palin's reputation before 2012 that permanently disqualifies her. Expect it to have a GOP source. They know she is dangerous. They just can't politically touch her now. And they didn't want her there anyway - after all, the religious right are supposed to be unthinking foot soldiers in the Bush view, not commanding officers.
I also think since John is 72, we need to know as much as we can about THESE TWO QUESTIONABLE PEOPLE. McCain, himself, is not without SUSPICION! What is his association with the Iran Contra and the US Council for World Freedom? IS HE REALLY A TERRORIST? ARE the Palins REALLY TERRORISTS, SINCE THEY WANT TO SECEDE FROM THE US?
Cindy needs to STOP THE HOLIER THAN THOU WITH HER RECORD OF BEING A DRUG ABUSER AND THIEF! SHE NEEDS TO CHECK HER ADULTEROUS HUSBAND'S VOTES BEFORE SHE BLAMES ANYONE ELSE! Since we are CHECKING ON PEOPLE, LET's CHECK them out!
Since they are inciting the crowds with vicious HATE SPEECH AGAINST OBAMA, WE NEED TO KNOW THEIR TIES TO TERRORISTS TOO!
"Senator McCain, recently your running mate has been attacking Obama for what she claims are links to a domestic terrorist in his past, Bill Ayers. Because of this she is now coming under scrutiny for her own more recent ties to a secessionist organization, the Alaskan Independence Party. It seems in all fairness you should have the opportunity to respond in her defense, since Senator Obama is already on record condemning Ayers past actions before they ever met.
"So are you and Governor Palin willing to condemn this group that she has had associations with as recently as March of this year? Or if elected would you condone (and would Vice President Palin pursue) a plan of removing Alaska from the United States, with all the possibilities for Russian intervention and threats to our domestic oil supply that would follow?
"Two minutes, Senator."
- that would deliver the game three weeks early.
You shoul hope this girl will just do a seccession, but i am afraid it's not the case.
"May I go in?" asks Obama.
"First I must ask you a few questions" answers the heavenly gatekeeper.
"O.K." replies Obama, "I'm pretty good at Q & A."
"Well," asks the saint, "What did you accomplish in your time on Earth to merit spending eternity in Paradise?"
"I was elected the first Black president of the United States of America!" proudly states Obama.
"A Black president in America!" exclaims Saint Peter. "When did this happen?"
"About 20 minutes ago" Obama answers.
