WOW!

It's amazing how quick people are ready to throw out the 1st Amendment when it effects their favorite candidate.

It's amazing how many things you can't say about Obama.

1. Can't mention his former pastor and mentor, Reverand Wright.
2. Can't mention his middle name is Hussein.
3. Can't mention his questionable Muslim roots.
4. Can't mention he is one of the most liberal Senators.
5. Can't mention that he voted for infanticide.
6. Can't mention that he is closely associated with terrorist Bill Ayers.
7. Can't mention how he worked out a deal with slum-lord Bill Rezko to obtain his mansion.
8. Can't mention he has big ears....just ask Maureen Dowd.
9. Can't mention the possibility that he is not a natural born citizen, and is not eligible to run for President.
10. Can't mention his lack of experience.
11. Can't mention that he tried to legislate defeat in Iraq.

This is just right off the top of my head....I could go on and on.

NO ONE is saying anything about disregarding the first amendment!
This very discussion proves the CONTRARY.

WHAT YOU SEEMED TO BE SOUR ABOUT IS NOT THAT YOU CAN"T SAY THESE THINGS (YOU JUST DID BTW) BUT RATHER THAT YOU ARE CHALLENGED TO SUPPORT HALF TRUTHS AND BIAS STATEMENTS WITH FACTS AND ACCURACY AND WHEN THESE CLAIMS EMERGE FROM THE FILTER OF OBJECTIVE THOUGHT AND FACT CHECKING ...WHAT IS LEFT ARE THINGS THAT THE VAST AMOUNT OF INTELLIGENT AMERICANS THINK ARE IRRELEVANT.

For example....Can't mention his questionable Muslim roots.
(1) Does he have Muslim roots? (Accuracy)
(2) If so, why is having "Muslim roots" or people in your ancestry that described themselves as Muslims a "questionable" thing? (relevancy)

What is left but to believe the unfounded claim is an appeal to intolerance and racism?

Just a theory of mine but what if the Republicans want to lose the election. I mean from a logical standpoint their was much better candidates in my opinion to choose from. If you follow the neural programming on the left that McCain is 4 more years of Bush than that connection would mean that he is on what Bush and company are doing with the economy. Basically they don't want a republican in the White House when it gets really bad. I think their strategy is that after 4 years of Obama handcuffed with a depression voters will be ready for another change and in the process make Obama and his administration a laughing stock.

The thing that drives me buggy is denial.

We have an old saying down here that "birds of a feather, flock together."

When you look at a person to consider his nature, you look at who he hangs around with, socializes with, shows up at the same places as, and conducts mutually beneficial activities.

Early documentation indicate that Obama was raised a Muslim, and even had a slip of the tongue, " . . . as a Muslim . . ."

Obama kicked off his political career with Ayers. Ayers later had Obama distribute millions of dollars he had raised. Ayers did the same thing the 9-11 attackers did, but he was too stupid to be efficient. Ayers should be shot.

How about Rezko extorting others to raise money for Obama? When you look at the twisted connections, well, let's just say that Obama was created, bought, and paid for.

For 20 years, Obama has as his mentor another radical, hate-filled man who detests not only America, but whites. For 20 years, Obama never hears a word of this? No, Obama is lying.

Then there are his ties with Louis Farrakhan, our local brand of Islamic America haters.

All America haters.

Obama is the choice candidate of Muslims around the world. Need I say more?

I certainly hope Obama is well protected tonight. I am ashamed that things like these happen in this country. The pure filth emminating from BOTH oponents, nothing letting us know, exactly what they plan for the country but the constant shots at one another. tsk tsk.

Anything goes...Absolutely no class in expressing differing points of view on a civil level.

Just trash. And i still say that people are not ready for Obama.

Man, Obama kicks ass!!! I dunno why the republicans are trying to say hes a terrorist when clearly he is not. I hope Obama wins personally.
