The Truth About ACORN October 29, 2008
Posted by youns in Politics, election.add a comment
The attack on ACORN (The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) is shaping up to be the most vicious of the 2008 election. The problem is, we will have to suffer the consequences long after the election is over. This video about ACORN debunks the outrageous lies:
ACORN is accustomed to opposition. They’ve been educating, organizing, and empowering low-income communities for nearly 40 years. When you advocate with and for poor people against policies and practices that discriminate and keep communities from thriving, you make some enemies. But they’ve never seen anything like this.
When John McCain’s presidential campaign began sinking in the polls, they looked for a scapegoat. They picked ACORN. And now, in the past few weeks alone, ACORN staffers have received death threats in Ohio and Rhode Island, and offices have been vandalized in Washington and Massachusetts. Numerous threatening and racist phone calls have been made to ACORN offices across the country.
And then there’s FOX news, accusing ACORN of all kinds of criminal activity hundreds – HUNDREDS – of times during the past few days. You know what FOX news isn’t reporting? This: Just two years ago, John McCain himself stood in solidarity with ACORN, saying of our members, “they are what makes America special.”
McCain’s attacks have to stop. They are wrong, and the results for hundreds of thousands of people with whom we work will be disastrous.
Are You a Real American? October 21, 2008

Although a comedy show, John Stewart of The Daily Show has a point that goes beyond the majority of mainstream reporting.

Check out the “Real Americans” in Wasilla, Alaska. According to Palin, these are the “Real Pro-Americans”, not those commies in cities like New York (you know, the one that used to have the twin towers).

And finally, take the “Real American” test yourself. Are you part of the “Real America” or “Real Virginia”?

McCain and Palin: Politics of Hate October 7, 2008
Posted by youns in Uncategorized.add a comment
Let’s call it for what it is, “Hate Mongering” and Enticement to Violence. These are the Supporters of McCain and Palin. They have the audacity to call anyone “Terriorists” when they themselves are promoting the hate. It is vastly coming to reality to all, that they are bigots and racists let alone liars. It’s a disgrace and shows what Nazi’s McSame and Failin Palin have become. These people aren’t Christians by inciting Murder.
In Palin’s speaches she is inciting hate and whipping her racist supporters to a frenzy. In the latest instance of inflammatory outbursts at McCain-Palin rallies, a crowd member screamed “treason!” during an event on Tuesday after Sarah Palin accused Barack Obama of criticizing U.S. troops.
In every case, McCain and Palin ignored the hate that they were whipping up and therefore promoting the mob to further actions. When will they be satisfied – when someone has been murdered? That’s their brand of Christianity – more like the anti-christ then Christ.
The Truth Behind Barack Obama and William Ayers October 7, 2008

Right-wing smear groups along with Palin and McCain have tried using guilt-by-association to connect Barack Obama to Professor William Ayers. For those not familiar, William Ayers was a Vietnam War anti-war activist who advocated violence to stop America’s involvment in the Vietnam War. He’s much like John Brown during the Slavery Movement. Would we label John Brown a terriorist or did he fight for the right and justice on behalf of slaves?
Smears about Obama often spread as part of a broader, shadowy strategy to scare people who aren’t very familiar with Barack by spreading false information. It’s time to learn the truth instead of the lies spread by someone who advocates herself as a Christian.
Here’s the truth: the smear associating Barack to Ayers is “phony,” “tenuous,“ – even “exaggerated at best if not outright false.” Ayers and Barack barely know each other. They served together on the boards of local charities, but do not know each other well.
William Ayers is now a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Barack has publicly denounced the acts Ayers committed in the 1960’s (when Barack was only 8 years old). As reported in The New York Times, the two men do not appear to have been close. Nor has Mr. Obama ever expressed sympathy for the radical views and actions of Mr. Ayers, whom he has called “somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8.”
You can get more details and help spread the truth about these shameful attacks:

Together we can make sure these negative and divisive attacks don’t affect this election.
If it’s going to be guilt by association, then let’s talk about Palin and her Witchdoctor Pastor!
Sarah Palin Can’t Name a Newspaper She Reads October 1, 2008

COURIC: And when it comes to establishing your world view, I was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this — to stay informed and to understand the world?
PALIN: I’ve read most of them again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media —
COURIC: But what ones specifically? I’m curious.
PALIN: Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years.
COURIC: Can you name any of them?
PALIN: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news.
Sarah, how do you spell your name?
Oh, you know… pretty much the way you would. It’s a very common name, you know, not — I mean a lot of people have heard one like it. I spell it the same way I always, the way my mother taught me, just like you and everybody else. There’s this, you know, crazy perception that we, Alaska, you know we spell just like everyone does. It’s not this strange foreign country unlike Washington. But, you know, like, I, you know, I get it–this gotcha journalism we all have to deal with these days. Plus, you know I can see that Russian guy in the morning from where I live. Nkay?
