Yeah, What About Obama’s Drug Dealer
Posted by Dirty Harry on Saturday, October 18th, 2008
Obama’s black bag men in the media demonize Joe The Plumber and dig into Cindy McCain’s past… Both get full vetting’s in the New York Times and today the paper of record ripped into Cindy McCain and still we know nothing about Obama.
Please tell me this is only the beginning of a McCain camp pushback:
These allegations and efforts to hurt Cindy have been a matter of public record for sixteen years. Cindy has been quite open and frank about her issues for all these years. Any further attempts to harass and injure her based on the information from Gosinski and Clark will be met with an appropriate response. While she may be in the public eye, she is not public property nor the property of the press to abuse and defame.
It is worth noting that you have not employed your investigative assets looking into Michelle Obama. You have not tried to find Barack Obama’s drug dealer that he wrote about in his book, Dreams of My Father. Nor have you interviewed his poor relatives in Kenya and determined why Barack Obama has not rescued them. Thus, there is a terrific lack of balance here.
I suggest to you that none of these subjects on either side are worthy of the energy and resources of The New York Times. They are cruel hit pieces designed to injure people that only the worst rag would investigate and publish. I know you and your colleagues are always preaching about raising the level of civil discourse in our political campaigns. I think taking some your own medicine is in order here.
I ask you to let Cindy McCain carry on in her usual understated, selfless and dignified way. The fabrications and lies of blackmailers are not fit to print in any newspaper but particularly not in The New York Times.
All the polls overpoll Democrats anywhere from 6 -13 points and I think they underestimate the growing, seething anger among rank and file Americans as they watch Obama and his surrogates in the media seek to destroy Sarah Palin, Cindy McCain, and a guy who was simply out playing football with his son when Obama came along — a guy who dared to ask Obama a pointed question.
Ace is right. We need our own George Soros to fund, vet, and expose a media so out of control and unjust it should take any fair-minded individuals breath away.
All Joe did was ask a question. That’s all he did. Obama approached him and now they’re gutting him on the front pages. Classic intimidation tactic. Don’t ask The One a question.

Major Grahamon 18 Oct 2008 at 2:01 pm 1I do really think this is the last gasp of the old media. They know their time is almost done. That is why they have gone “all in” for the lil’ messiah. Regardless of who wins I do think it is time for the conservative blogosphere and talk radio to start paying back individuals in the MSM in kind. Exposes of individuals who attack guys like JTP and Cindy are called for. See how they like it when their phone number, email and home address are given out. One of the things that I like about O’Reilly is how he has reporters ambush moonbat judges who let child rapists and the like off. We should start doing the same to other members of the left.
In the next election the Republican candidate should simply refuse to do anymore of these stupid debates with the “metamucil” members of the MSM (as Steyn puts it). Just demand 10 town hall debates with no moderator - just questions from the audience. Or better yet demand one of the debates be co-moderated by Rush and and whoever the dems want.
Nickolas Dilmoreon 18 Oct 2008 at 2:04 pm 2Ya know what’s funny? For nearly eight years, the left has been screeching about Bush taking away freedom of speech and the coming ReThuglican dictatorship … yet The One isn’t even President yet and has already threatened lawsuits for political speech he doesn’t like, and worse yet the Media — the apparatus the Founding Fathers envisioned as a bulwark against the abuses of the Powerful by keeping the citizenry informed has willingly decided to act as the Ministry of Propaganda for the One and begin squashing dissent — in the most insidious way possible, not through governmental means which has a check with the Constitution but by simply looking for the dirty laundry every one of us has and exposing it in the headlines.
The difference between myself and Bush haters is that while they hoped and prayed for W to fail, for us to lose in Iraq, for America to falter just to validate their own demented hatred, should Obama win I will hope and pray that he does well and the Nation prospers.
Dirty Harryon 18 Oct 2008 at 2:05 pm 3Nikolas — classic Commie tactic: accuse the opposition of exactly what you’re doing.
Jeff Baileyon 18 Oct 2008 at 2:18 pm 4If Obama has it won already, then why all the heavy-handed tactics from the NYT and other MSM outlets? Makes you wonder what their internal polls are really showing.
Great post here on Joe the Plumber:

johnmark7on 18 Oct 2008 at 2:24 pm 5Boy, I hate to get in the gutter with these bas***ds, but we do need a sugar daddy to fund a bunch of bloggers who are ready to do legwork, like when a reporter shows up to try and embarrass the next Joe the Plumber, we investigate every dirty detail of that scumbag journalist.
We can start with: It turns out that Billy in the Bagg for the L.A. Times is not a credentialed reporter at all! Working without any certificate of authorization from the city or state for journalism, Billy Bagg, it turns out, is a liar, a fraud, a drug abusing, adulterer according to his ex-wife. His young son replied, when asked about his dad, “I hardly ever see him. I wonder if he cares about me at all.”
You’ve got to fight fire with fire.
Opuson 18 Oct 2008 at 2:28 pm 6Major Graham
I hate to say it but I agree with you. We have a right to know about the people in the MSM who laughably claim to be unbiased.
A dedicated website to exposing each of them personally.
Tink in Calion 18 Oct 2008 at 2:31 pm 7Ace is right, as you said Harry. It is time for them to get a taste of their own medicine, but be prepared for a lot of whining, (why would they do this to us, why are they so upset, we are just doing our jobs, you can’t say that about us - we are not public figures, we just talk about them, the first amendment isn’t for them, it is for us - the real professionals, etc, etc.). I think “the masses” have had just about enough and critical mass is just around the corner. We just need to make sure our stomachs are strong because it is going to get real ugly (or uglier) and we will be bringing the pain this time.
maatkareon 18 Oct 2008 at 2:31 pm 8I just like the “Watchmen” logo there.
JohnLockeon 18 Oct 2008 at 2:41 pm 9Y’know, I think it’s just now dawning on me how real and how insane all of this is. I mean, I had never actually thought of it that way, but you’re right. This poor man is being eviscerated by the media for asking a politician a question. And yeah, it may not be the Obama campaign doing all of it, but Obama is just as guilty for not calling these monsters on their slime tactics months ago.
Nickolas also brings up a very good point: this is EXACTLY the kind of stuff the left feared the Bush Administration would do. Yet as comedians, television shows, and a major motion picture continue to savage Bush on his way out the door without so much as a word of condemnation from the man, the Obama movement is getting away with tarring and feathering a guy whose greatest crime was to ask a presidential candidate about his tax plan.
I refuse to be as paranoid as the left. At this stage of the game, I’m not living in fear of an Orwellian nightmare should Obama be elected. But I will say that if he is elected, I’ll be afraid to criticize him on camera.
Carolineon 18 Oct 2008 at 2:52 pm 10Isn’t there anyone who has the where-with-all to wear a wire or a nannycam or something to create an expose’ of editorial meetings at the majors, both broadcast and print? I mean, come on, they do it to conservatives all the time. Or maybe I’ve been watching too much CopTV.
Ohio Wolverine momon 18 Oct 2008 at 3:13 pm 11Where are Obama’s transcripts? Still can’t find record of them on NYTimes or any other website…….
By this time in fall 2004 we had been hearing for months how poorly GWB had been doing in school—-if Barry is so brilliant, why no transcripts? Or do they note this was an AA admittee? Or cover up just bad grades?
I want to know what her earned in Economics 101 myself—seems as though he would have a “W” but no letter grade.
thudon 18 Oct 2008 at 3:15 pm 12Reason number 1001 is if we needed another one for why we must fight these people to the bitter end. All elections seem critical and epoch changing…this one is certainly it…after this election life could be better or worse than anybody ever imagined….keep fighting.
Stephanieon 18 Oct 2008 at 3:17 pm 13I am making a big roast right now and am waiting for guests to arrive….however I want tio jump in and say these people are bottom feeding scumbags and tar and feathers is appropriate. I mean that to.
Stephanieon 18 Oct 2008 at 3:19 pm 14I feel like having a little revolution right now…….tar and feathers leftist newsdogs…thats what you all deserve. Tar and feathers.
wolfpackon 18 Oct 2008 at 3:26 pm 15no need to go after the old grey lady; he best way to dal with liberal has-beens is to ignore them in all ways. dont read anything from them. the NYT is going downhill financially, and it will soon die out. it bothers me, however, that even republican and conservative stalwarts will quote the NYT or refernce a story in it. to me it doesn’t exist, and when we finally reduce it to a left wing socialist sounding board, then we kill its reputation and eventually kill the old grey lady herself.
Michaelon 18 Oct 2008 at 3:28 pm 16The list of questions that have not been asked about Obama by the press, and then been thoroughly vetted and followed up on for accuracy is staggering.
Carolynon 18 Oct 2008 at 3:32 pm 17Shit! McCain gets NO sympathy from me for the Times’ attack on Cindy. For months, the Times has attacked McCain’s country - and McCain’s said nothing. Even when the Times attacked his Vice Presidential nominee, McCain still said nothing. In fact, when his own voters were enraged at the Times’ assault on their country, McCain not only refused to support the voters, he taunted them by saying he was going to ‘reach across the aisle’ to their attackers.
So now I’m supposed to applaud McCain for finally standing up to the bullies? Shit! Too little too late.
What makes it harder about witnessing McCain’s anger against the Times is realizing this means McCain CAN stand up to bullies - but only when they hit something he cares about - i.e., his wife. In other words, as far as his country, his voters and his VP nominee are concerned, McCain ‘frankly, my dear, doesn’t give a damn’.
Which pretty accurately describes my opinion of McCain.
Conan O'Lenomanon 18 Oct 2008 at 3:35 pm 18Journalism is dead. Gone are the days when young, aspiring reporters worked their way up the ladder toiling in the newsrooms. Now they go to college, get indoctrinated in left-wing propaganda to get a journalism degree, and get hired at newspapers based on their ability to upchuck bullshit.
We are entering a troubling yet exciting time of citizen journalists; bogs and bloggers performing the vital service of informing the public. We the people have to keep our eyes open, report and document irregularities, support our writers and bloggers (especially if the gubmint comes after them). That means Dirty Harry and the rest of them who do a fantastic job of being the underground voice of America.
Salon 18 Oct 2008 at 3:38 pm 19DH,
Anyone know how to tell the difference between an actual tactic and the mental projection of the unstable? Or does it matter, since the results are the same?
Bob Godwin is right- leftism is mostly a disease of the spirit.
But if we can’t cure it, we could contain it.
Re: the troll. I thought his name was the first tip-off. Don’t conjure up Reagan unless you mean it. You won’t be able to carry it off.
mjkon 18 Oct 2008 at 3:39 pm 20carolyn,
I have a slightly different view of all that. YMMV though. I think that McCain was trying to have a grown-up campaign. You know, one where childish and asinine accusations about Palin’s tanning bed and McCain’s loyalties to his country are dismissed as being stupid and inane.
I should think that Cindy McCain’s personal problems are a very sensitive spot for John McCain. Example: People can call me a Zionist bitch. They can question my intelligence and my obsession with dance shoes. But if they go near my cousin’s suicide or my family’s problems with drugs and alcohol, I will wipe the floor with them.
Palin and John McCain are probably used to unfounded accusations about their own lives, but personal attacks about Palin’s family or John McCain’s is beyond the pale.
Major Grahamon 18 Oct 2008 at 3:39 pm 21Carolyn - I am somewhat sympathetic to your views on McCain. But this issue isn’t really about him or even his wife. There needs to be overwhelming pushback on the MSM/NYTs because of what they are doing - not so much who they are doing to. They have institutionalized Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals into their reporting. They are trying to tear down the candidate they disagree with by humiliating his family, friends and associates while completely ignoring the other candidate. BTW - it wouldn’t matter who the Republican candidate was - they would be doing the exact same thing. In a way I am glad this happened because now McCain I think finally understands that the press was NEVER his friend. I suspect if he loses he will go back to the Senate and push for voter/media reform.
Major Grahamon 18 Oct 2008 at 3:51 pm 22addendum - when I say I am glad this happened I do not mean that I am happy someone attacked Cindy McCain - just that Mac is finally aware of who and what he is dealing with.
Michaelon 18 Oct 2008 at 3:56 pm 23Just some Obama questions off top of my head that the press has not pursued:
1.What was Obama, a U.S. senator, doing in Kenya (on our dime) in 2004 campaigning for the violent marxist candidate, Odinga, who promises to bring sharia law to that country?
2.Exactly how well did Michele know Bernadine Dohrn when they worked together in their mutual law firm, and did Bill Ayers and Obama actually meet ten years before they claim to?
3.In his druggie days did Obama ever deal drugs as well as use it? Have they even bothered to ask his old drug friends?
4.Are there any other business deals between Obama and Reszko that we don’t know about, and is anyone digging into this at all?
5.Why won’t Obama release his medical records?
6.After dating his white college girlfriend for a year, and even living with her, why, when the serious discussion of marriage began, was it not racist of Obama to break up with her by telling her, “I can’t marry you, I can’t marry a white woman.” (from his book)
7.Wasn’t it dirty politics to send lawyers to California to dig out the divorce papers of Jack Ryan, his only rival for the U.S. Senate seat, and then release Ryan’s wife’s (Jeri Ryan -7of9) private private divorce complaints to get Ryan to drop out of the race?
8.Where is his legal birth certificate?
Just scratching the surface of questions reporters ought to at least be curious about regarding our potential future president.
If anyone wants to add more to the list, feel free.
TROon 18 Oct 2008 at 4:03 pm 24Gallup tracking still has them within 2 points on likely (traditional) and within 4 points on likely (new fangled fancy).
This is great news.
billypaintbrushon 18 Oct 2008 at 4:07 pm 25Bambi said his missus was off-limits and it must be getting too cold in Wasilla to look for Bristol’s medical records. so the NYT had no choice but to go after Cindy.
Stanley Kurtz is shouting from the rooftops about Ayers, but the MSM is busy chasing JTP.
The Rezko appraisal?
The Obama Youth organizaton is needed now for crowd control to make sure we move along, nothing to see here.
Major Grahamon 18 Oct 2008 at 4:08 pm 26Another good result of this issue - I just saw a clip from Fox and Friends on the personal attacks by obambi’s campaign. The title of the segment was “The Obama Thug-ocracy” - taken from the article by Michael Barone. They had a conservative talk show host named James T. Harris (African-American) who was blasting obambi. I am certain O’Reilly will go off on one of his memorable tears and Hannity will be relentless too.

whiskeyon 18 Oct 2008 at 4:12 pm 27I think this is the victory of the Media.
First, the imposition of the Fairness Doctrine onto the Web and billions of bailout money to the NYT, CBS, etc. will choke off competition and insure ideological conformity and total media control of the nation.
Second, the Weekly Standard (via Ed Driscoll) have a great link about what this is all about … class.
Obama and Biden are upper middle class, as is Ayers. Heck Ayers killing people in service of radicalism is about as upper middle class as you can get. Palin is to those who make taste and those who follow them, in the words of Andrew Sullivan, “a cocktail waitress act.”
Now, I am proudly “White Trash” that is to say White Working Class background, even though I am ridiculously overeducated. I love Palin, and Joe the Plumber. But I’m a guy. Anyone observing urban single women knows that they (and the media that influence them) are solidly upper middle class aspirational.
The Left was right about one thing — culture and politics are linked. The global rise of the Sex and the City culture, with it’s consumerist materialism and social climbing, speaks volumes.
What this election will come down to is how many proudly Working Class folks like myself, Palin, and Joe the Plumber are versus how many Upper Middle Class and aspirational people there are, in reality. Since it is all about class.
I am hopeful but not optimistic.
Michaelon 18 Oct 2008 at 4:25 pm 28With the press as they are today I am anticipating this headline:
MCCAIN HAS CLOSE HISTORY WITH COMMUNISTS
Senator John McCain once had close associations with known extreme communists. In fact he spent six years living closely with them, even refusing to leave when asked. The Senator proves reluctant to give details when questioned.
Kenn Christensonon 18 Oct 2008 at 4:40 pm 29I think we may have all seen the hand of God, though. It’s always the little things that wind up tripping you up the most. And, Obama may have just tripped over Joe the Plumber.
rrpjron 18 Oct 2008 at 4:41 pm 30I’ve said it for 10 years — confront the media. Take them on in a comprehenive, sober, specific and relentless way. Call them out. Name names. Challenge Americans to take action, demand standards and fairness. This is a national crisis and has been for 20 years. And it’s not just patriotic duty to address this corruption. It’s a massive political opportunity.
But no one gets it. And I am mystified how this can be. Just on the basis of personal self-respect, how? How can any self-respecting political party — or any self-respecting conservative human being — countenance the systematic abuses and dishonesties of the media over so many years? The challenge is evidently beyond McCain, except maybe in these useless, florid and infrequent outbursts of his against the NY Times (which by the way, laughs in his face and will just pick up tomorrow where they left off today).
Major Grahamon 18 Oct 2008 at 4:43 pm 31whiskey,
Don’t look at this as the potential “final victory” of the media. Rather I think this is more of their Battle of the Bulge - the last counteroffensive with everything they have because they know they will ultimately be beaten. Any attempt to reimpose the fairness doctrine will be disastrous - so I really hope that if obambi wins (God forbid) he tries to do this. You would have hundreds if not thousands of lawsuits by every blogger and talk radio host at all levels. Plus every sitting Republican congressman and Senator would bang on this drum day and night. Most Republican governors (maybe some dems) would also publicly oppose this and refuse to allow enforcement. This would have an even bigger effect on the mid-term elections than Hillary’s disastrous health-care initiatives.
The fairness doctrine is so clearly unconstitutional that I am not really worried about it - raising taxes is what worries me more.
Glenn Kennyon 18 Oct 2008 at 4:53 pm 32Not to put too fine a point on it, but suppose one WERE to find Obama’s drug dealer? What would one expect him (or her; such things do happen) to say? “I sold drugs to Obama,” I suppose. And then what? “He always paid on time,” or “I had to hold a lot of paper for that motherf**ker”? In either case, what’s proven that we already don’t know?
The guy’s already admitted using drugs. An issue which, as we are all aware, a fair number of our politicians on both sides of the aisle have evaded.
Whatever. The spectacle of hundreds of people who are in line for a tax cut under an Obama administration flocking to align themselves with Joe the Plumber is a fascinating one, to say the least. The most explicit example of Thomas Frank’s theory about folks voting against their economic interests…
Ohio Wolverine momon 18 Oct 2008 at 5:20 pm 33Michael—great questions. I would like to add; where are Obama’s undergraduate and graduate transcripts? Who taught him at Columbia? It is said that Ayers was there at that time.
Kenn Christensonon 18 Oct 2008 at 5:26 pm 34“The most explicit example of Thomas Frank’s theory about folks voting against their economic interests…”
Not if they’re worried about their jobs. Take a look at what was done by the government to take a “depression” and make it REALLY “great.”
Mashaon 18 Oct 2008 at 5:27 pm 35I agree with Sean Hannity. Traditional journalism is dead. This election has proved it, and even if BO wins, the MSM is the loser in the long run. Yes, the Fairness Doctrine may be imposed, but the blogosphere will not be killed off that easily. It’s the wave of the future and anyone who thinks we’ll go back to the 70’s when it comes to getting the news is trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube.
Major Grahamon 18 Oct 2008 at 5:31 pm 36Glenn - the point would be to remind folks what a useless slacker he was and still is. As well as to inform a large portion of the population of his extremely shadowy past. “what’s proven that we already don’t know?” is precisely the point - we know very little about the lil’ messiah. He is a blank and there has been virtually no digging into his past by the MSM.
Oh, and quoting Frank’s book proves what a leftist troll you are. The man is a tool like obambi. The “little people” don’t know what’s good for them. The enlightened (ie - quasi-marxists) must spread the wealth around for them eh? Problem with Frank and other economic reductionists like you is that you utterly fail to understand that life is about more than money. BTW - Franks has never held a real job or signed the front of a paycheck either. Just another guilt-ridden academe who thinks he knows better than proletariat about what’s good for them. Steph is right - some people need a good tar and feathering.
Carolynon 18 Oct 2008 at 5:34 pm 37“I do not mean that I am happy someone attacked Cindy McCain - just that Mac is finally aware of who and what he is dealing with.”
McCain is FINALLY aware? We’re less than 20 days from the election - yet only NOW he’s smelling the coffee? What does that say about his fitness to be Commander in Chief?
The first duty of a CIC is to fight this nation’s enemies. Yet here we have a candidate for the Oval Office who is so clueless that he almost literally has to be hit over the head with a baseball bat before he even recognizes who the enemy is - and even then still waits until after the enemy kicks his wife’s butt before he finally fights them. If his intelligence is THAT dense, this isn’t a man fit for the office.
Look, I concede that Robert’s Rules of Order are well and good but if - 21 days from now - the Oval Office is handed over to a ‘God DAMN America’ racist, what good will it do my country to hear “Well, McCain sure behaved like a gentleman, didn’t he?’.
McCain for President!on 18 Oct 2008 at 5:41 pm 38NYT is a washed up newspaper. Obama is a fake. Possibly not even a US Citizen. How can he be elected president if he is not a natural born citizen? Where is his vaulted birth certificate from the hospital? Then show the American public proof! Were you Mr. Obama born in Kenja? What about your residential status in Indonesia with your stepfather and mother? The truth about Obama and his bad friends, past (?) drug use, and bad choices is the biggest cover up in a presidential election in our countries history. Talk about propaganda! Axelrod (Obama’s PR guy) is a Chicago PR scumbag and Obama has him to thank if they pull off this lie of a campaign to the road of the highest office. Post election-I can see them all now in the oval office after the election: Obama and his bad friends who hate America (but love power) and his cast of Obama characters invited to the Obama’s party: Bill Ayers who bombed our USA Capital, Rev. Wright who said GD America and other hateful rants, Louis Farrakhan who called Obama the messiah and who hates whites and jews, Father Phleger who hates his own church and Hillary, Tony Rezco, Obama’s business partner and campaigner, ODingo-Obama’s cousin in Kenja-read about him, he is evil! George Soros who funds moveon.org the radical website-he is evil too, ACORN community organizers who signed up dead people and mickey mouse and thousands of voter fraud registration new voters, and lets not forget Oprah Winfrey who sold out this election and white women-I threw Oprah under the bus, Michelle Obama “who, until now was never was proud of her country in her adult life,” mad woman! The media and Charlie Gibson, Katie Couric, Tom Brokaw, Chris Matthews, Oberman, ABC, NBC, MSMBC, CBS, etc. are losers and liars and cheats! They cheated the American public of getting real honest reporting and journalism with their Obama bias! Sickening! Senator McCain should be our next president because he has experience, knowledge, judgement and character and will lead and protect this great country of ours, The United States! I pray that on November 5th I wake up from this very bad nightmare of Obamaland and come to find Senator John McCain leading and running this country as our President! God Bless America!
Major Grahamon 18 Oct 2008 at 5:54 pm 39Cindy - I agree it is late in the game for him. But as a soldier I have ZERO doubt about his ability and intentions to defend this country from foreign enemies. He is just slow on the uptake when it comes to domestic ones. I do think he finally gets it.
He isn’t the perfect candidate - but he his far more fit than the alternative and he has brought Sarah Palin onto the national scene. We owe him for that if nothing else.
Glenn Kennyon 18 Oct 2008 at 6:17 pm 40Major Graham—I put up what I consider to be a perfectly civil post, citing one left winger’s argument…and I get called a “liberal troll” for my trouble. Followed by terms such as “tool” and “obambi.” Thanks for helping raise the level of discourse, sir.
Nickolas Dilmoreon 18 Oct 2008 at 6:25 pm 41Glenn –
Do you know who I work for? Rich people. A family-owned corporation. So guess what? Under an Obama administration, I may get a big huge tax cut, but the people who sign my checks will get the crap taxed out of them, both individually and the company as a whole. So, how many raises will I see? How much new equipment will we get? How many other businesses will have the capitol to buy our products? All the tax breaks in the world for me won’t mean squat if the cost of living goes through the roof while my paycheck stagnates.
Major Grahamon 18 Oct 2008 at 6:32 pm 42Glenn,
As my Colonel in Iraq used to say, “no one ever died of hurt feelings”. But point taken - I should not have called you a troll and I do apologize. But you are a liberal who is wrong about a very fundamental issue. obambi is what he is - a blank and an entitled punk (to quote Thomas Sowell). And Frank is very nearly the platonic form of a tool. You share his arrogance by stating that all these duped folks - most of us who post here as well - don’t know what’s in their own best interest. That is the very definition of elitist snobbery.
Who is obambi to think he knows better how to spend our money than we do? Who is Thomas Frank to think that? They and their ilk are a bunch of interfering busybodies who want to impose their ideology on the rest of us. For our own good of course.
Major Grahamon 18 Oct 2008 at 6:35 pm 43Glenn,
BTW - 74% of CEOs (ie - job producers) have stated that obambi’s economic plan would be DISASTROUS. How many of them will take their companies out of the country or cut workers if he gets elected? Hint - A LOT. Yeah - that will be great for the economic interests of the little people.
Mike Kriskeyon 18 Oct 2008 at 6:46 pm 44C’mon guys, leave Glenn alone. He’s the one honest leftist I know!
Hundreds of people would get a tax cut. Hundreds! Millions, of course, would get an (extra) welfare check, which is what a tax credit is to people who don’t pay taxes.
Michaelon 18 Oct 2008 at 7:00 pm 45Raise your hand. How many people out there cash paychecks from people who make less than them?
How does it help you if your boss or the company you work for gets slammed by the Obama soak the rich tax? Does it make you more likely to get a job? Get a raise? Hold onto your job?
Does it make it more or less likely for your employer to hire more people, or stay in an already highly taxed state like California. Or to even more out of the U.S. completely?
Does it make it more or less likely that the products you buy are cheaper or more expensive as corporations pass their expenses down to you?
More or less likely that the next time you call for technical support on your high tech gear that the person who answers speaks English, or has an Indian accent because the corporation has moved there because Obama’s anti-business taxes have driven them away?
Kiton 18 Oct 2008 at 7:21 pm 46McCain,
Hit ‘em!
Hit ‘em for going after your wife!
Hit ‘em for accusing critics of rascism!
Hit ‘em for digging up dirt on Joe the Plumber!
HIT ‘EM! HIT ‘EM! HIT ‘EM!!!

Jack Marinoon 18 Oct 2008 at 7:24 pm 47You guys are a bunch of blind horny men at a strip joint…..
McCain is going to win, stop reading LA, NY PRavda. Just look at the attacks on conservatives to see just how desperate. Where the hell were you people when Gore and Kerry won? They had the election in the bag too, they were a lot a head of Bush then Obama is of McCain.
I as so amaze at the lack of support conservatives have on here… “Obama has won’ I love the fact he is setting up a victory party on the same park the riots in Chicago took place. I would if Aryers have anything to do with that one.
Major Graham, thanks so very much for your service. My son is over their playing bullet catcher for these ingrates here in America and the rest of the worthless planet.
I can’t get over these conservatives, I wouldn’t want to stand on battlefield with these weak-kneed so called McCain supporters. I’d stand with you Major, Stephanie and whoever has the faith in our conservative ideals that won’t let the liberal mad dog gangsters steal this election. Obama is gone and don’t be surprise we stick it up Pelosi’s ass in congress too.
Major Grahamon 18 Oct 2008 at 7:35 pm 48Jack,
Thanks. Tell your son thanks from me as well. He joined when most of his peers didn’t. He didn’t have to but he did - that means something.
A little more realism on the polls as well:

Also, Michael Barone is saying this election is looking very similar to 1948.

Also, Harry, the blood splat on the Watchmen smiley face is on the wrong side.
The point?
USS Benon 19 Oct 2008 at 2:42 am 50“the NYT is going downhill financially, and it will soon die out.”
Yeah, so I keep hearing. For several years now. When will this happen again?
As long as the NY Slimes have millions of Leftists readin’ their propaganda they’ll stay in business.
The sames goes for the Leftist MSM.
They might be reduced in number, but as long as Leftists and ignorant
folks keep watchin’ they aren’t goin’ anywhere.
And to suggest not even mentioing the disgusting, lowdown tactics of the Obamaporters is frankly, not very wise.
To win elections or get the truth out we hafta know what the enemy is doing and saying.
How can we get other Conservatives and liberals with a concience fired up about the obvious bias, condenscension, and jack-boot tactics of the Left if we don’t know about it?
No, the Leftist media is hurting, but they are still here and it’s past time to go on the offensive.
Major Grahamon 19 Oct 2008 at 8:38 am 51A little more good news. Obama’s lead is slipping and Mac is gaining among independents and has solidified the base:

It ain’t over gang.
NavyMomon 19 Oct 2008 at 10:55 am 52I raced home from church today and fired up the computer hoping against hope that General Powell had had a “come to Jesus” moment and actually endorsed his longtime friend John McCain. Alas, my bubble was burst at the screaming headlines all over the web that gleefully shouted that Powell endorsed Obama. What a kick in the gut to Sen. McCain. Colin Powell, for all his posturing and preening about being above the fray, is just another political hack who sees politics through the lens of race. I am thoroughly disillusioned.
Davidon 19 Oct 2008 at 11:37 am 53There was a site setup out of ace’s post to start independent research to expose the frauds in the media and do the job the media won’t.
It is mediavetting.com. The number of volunteers and pledges for financial support has been huge. Please help join into the cause.

Well, now we know who will be SecDef in an Obama administration.
Glennon 19 Oct 2008 at 9:26 pm 55Major Graham and everyone else -
The person posting as “Glenn Kenny” is not ME, the “real Glenn.” I am the one who usually posts here three or four times a day.
The real Glenn (me) is a short pudgy little Italian guy, 48, looks 35, acts 14. You can’t miss me because I’m the only person in the west side (Santa Monica, Venice, Brentwood, etc) with a John McCain bumper sticker.
I always post under the name Glenn. But watch out - impostors have used “Glenn” as well. I wish this blog engine required unique user ID’s.
