McCain's Palestinian ties of his own

Typical of the Republican=Hypocrite agenda. McCain has lost all respect he ever had with the American People with his dirty, lying, manipulative sleazy campaign!

I doubt that any media outlet could obtain a videotape of John McCain praising any Palestinian.
But if they could they would play it, even if they had promised the source confidentiality.
Why?
Because the media wants Obama to win and will go overboard to ensure this happens!

Lets' see...How would the republicans handle this information? We have not heard enough about McBushs ties to the terrorists. The conservative contolled media has not vetted this candidate properly. All these associations with terrorists need to come to light for the American people. What do we know about this candidate?

So you're saying that McCain would never praise ANY Palestinian? Sounds like you think he's a real bigot. Do you really want a President who doesn't think there is a single member of any particular ethnic group who is praiseworthy?

Ladies and Gentlemen John Sydney McCain has reached a new low. Mr. McCain is a sitting Senator running for President of the USA. He is attempted to force/shame the LA Times into releasing media content. This is an attack on the First Amendment. A private citizen may try to force/shame a news organization but a representative of the Government? No way, no how, no McCain. That is a direct violation of the First Amendment and it is the First Amendment for a reason. This reeks of Fascist Totalitarianism.

If McCain feels he's the better man for the job, he should start acting like it instead of someone who graduated fifth from the bottom of his class. People want substance, not sleaze. Time and again, his dirty campaigning has backfired, but he's too dim to understand that. Guess nothing more can be expected from someone who graduated 894th out of 899 from Annapolis.

A way for the money-losing Tribune to cut costs:

Outsource The Swamp to the Democratic Party National Committee.

Since all the Swamp columnists do is rejurgitate DNC talking points (see above article for a prime example), why not replace them with an intern who'll repeat whatever the DNC says?

The Swamp content wouldn't be changed--it would be 100% Democrat either way. And the Tribune would only have to pay one intern's salary.

Bruce....Do you have any "cost cutting" ideas for the rest of America since your party drove our economy off the cliff?

Hitler to Newspaper: "Release the pictures of my political enemy"
'
Mussolini to Newspaper: "Release the pictures of my political enemy!"
;
Stalin to Newspaper: "Release the pictures of my political enemy!"
;
Castro to Newspaper: "Release the pictures of my political enemy!"
;
McCain to LATimes: "Release the video of my political enemy!"
;
That's some great company McCain likes to fashion his policies to resemble.

Because the media wants Obama to win and will go overboard to ensure this happens!

I agree completely. Honestly if McCain's ties were made known then why not Obama's? What does he have to hide? I think that as voters we should know both sides to really be objective. Making one or the other look like a bad guy is ridiculous and childish on both parties. We should be able to find out what we are getting into before we vote for either of them.

The Obama campaign and their supporters can't tell the truth, much less the whole truth.

The International Republican Institute isn't a "McCain organization". Under Reagan, Congress authorized the National Endowment for Democracy , which essentially disburses funds, more accurately our tax dollars, through four sub groups, one Republican, one Dem, one Labor, and one private enterprise. And yes, as a Republican legislator McCain has been involved with the IRI, and whether McCain made it or not, I might support the decision to "fund" Khalid's group. They were hired to do polling in the West Bank. The fact that the Obama campaign doesn't understand that, when polling in a nest of terrorists, you either deal with terrorist supporters or don't do the polling. Same goes for distributing aid. Lots of bad guys cash our checks. That's the real world, if you want Goldilocks you need Obamaland. In his double super secret plan to take out bin Ladin, who does the Senator think he'll be dealing with, Nancy Pelosi?

Toasting the spokesman for a terrorist and wishing him well, perhaps validating his opinion that Israel shouldn't exist, is quite another thing.

Retirement plans are swirling down the toilet and the costs of groceries and utilities have skyrocketed to ridiculous amounts. The last thing of concern to me is an old story that was written in April and one that the McCain camp suddenly thinks is now an issue. If it was so important, McCain should've brought it up before the end of the election.

A couple of items:

-- Sen. McCain seems to have a more intimate relationship with Rashid Khalidi than Sen. Obama through McCain's International Republican Institute. Money passed hands. Only words passed between Obama and Khalidi. And perhaps a plate of dinner rolls.

-- Gov. Palin was a journalism major at one or more of the many colleges she attended over the years. She even worked as a journalist. I guess she forgot that if a journalist burns a confidential source, and the word gets around, that's the end of future confidential sources ever coming forward. And since the potentially damaging Obama-Khalidi information contained in the tape was reported months ago, claims of an L.A. Times coverup are specious. I guess the governor was busy practicing her beauty queen runway walk when she should have been in a class discussion of the issue.

Oh, well. Tuesday awaits.
