The most dangerous, incendiary, racist talking points

Your Modern Republican Party, as described by a Republican:

Republican consultant Michelle Laxalt was particularly critical of McCain's decision to employ Palin as an attack dog. "They have send this young, naive -- very confident, perhaps in Alaska -- young woman out with the most incendiary talking points, the most dangerous racist talking points and I think they should be ashamed of themselves."

She sounds right on to me. They'll call her a traitor, too.

Palin pimps out her children at Flyers' game

I'm just using Gunny Bob's terminology.

McCain goes mavericky, urges respect for Obama, gets booed by Republicans

John McCain palled around with a terrorist -- LAST YEAR

G. Gordon Liddy:

In the 1990s, he instructed his radio audience on how to shoot Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agents ("Go for a head shot; they're going to be wearing bulletproof vests." In case anyone missed the subtlety of his point, Liddy also insisted: "Kill the sons of bitches.") During Bill Clinton's presidency, Liddy boasted that he named his shooting targets after the Clintons.

A leading Republican instructing his large radio audience in how to kill federal agents. Sounds like a terrorist to me.

An online video labeled, "John McCain On The G. Gordon Liddy Show 11/8/07," includes a discussion between Liddy and McCain, whom Liddy described as an "old friend." During the segment, McCain praised Liddy's "adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great," said he was "proud" of Liddy, and said that "it's always a pleasure for me to come on your program."

Peter Boyles' obsession with race continues - now his target is Barack Obama

Peter Boyles, who made his bones on the murder of JonBenet Ramsey, is quite obviously afraid of people with more pigment in their skin than a northern European. He rails lies about immigrants and has made numerous false charges against those who aren't of the privilege class like him. Boyles' latest smear comes in a set of interviews that claimed Barack Obama is not a citizen and shouldn't be eligible for the Presidency:

BOYLES: Good work; Mike Rotollo's got the con [console], he's speaking with Mr. Berg right now. On this birth certificate story -- Jerry, what do you believe about that? What do you know about it?

CORSI: Well, the main issue on the birth certificate: If there's nothing to hide, why won't the Obama campaign release it? That's what I keep saying. There's something there that is being hidden.

[...]

CORSI: There's something on that birth certificate. You know, maybe Obama was born in Kenya; I don't know what it shows. But why hide a document that should be as transparent as your birth certificate?

BOYLES: Yeah. What is your gut reaction? Not what you know or anything, but what's your belief about this?

CORSI: My gut reaction is that Obama was either born in Kenya, 'cause his mother came over prior to his birth and couldn't get back home before he was born. Because what's filed on his website appears to be a registration of birth --

BOYLES: Yes.

CORSI: -- not the document generated by the hospital when you're born.

BOYLES: That's right. That's right.

Here's Barack Obama's birth certificate from the state of Hawaii:


It's plain and clear and legal and legible and it should shut up anyone but the worst demagogues. I guess they want the log sheet for the night Barack was born. Do any hospitals release that? Maybe they want the original tattered copy that's been in someone's drawer for 48 years. But somehow I feel it won't make Boyles and his boys happy.

There it is: the legal birth certificate of Barack Obama. Repubs are on a hate and fear sojourn this year. They'll lose those voters they once courted. They'll also lose this election and what's left of their credibility. Where's Peter's? In the toilet, right next to Jerome Corsi's and the rest of the race-baiting right's.

What's become of the modern Republican Party?

.....you know the economy is heading straight for the crapper.

Obama corrects Palin's lie about his health care plan

Just because she's a female and tried to wink her way to office doesn't mean Barack Obama and Joe Biden shouldn't kick the crap out of her multiple, debunked lies about the Democratic ticket.

This lie from Sarah is on their health care plans:

Sarah Palin = Bush 2K

Countdown noticed:

Joe Biden speaks from experience as Sarah Palin speaks from the same old Republican script

Joe Biden is just real and honest and has ten times the experience that Sarah Palin and her lies falsely project.

NORAD debunks another Sarah Palin lie

Thanks, Airmen (and Airwomen):

When Russian bombers approach American airspace and U.S. Air Force fighters are scrambled, Sarah Palin's phone doesn't ring.

The Alaska governor has no command authority over the guardians of U.S. airspace despite her recent suggestion otherwise.

"She doesn't have any role in that process," Air Force Maj. Allen Herritage, spokesman for the Alaska North American Aerospace Defense Command, told the Daily News.

Republicans truly will lie about any and every thing.
