1. It is totally scarey, Carebou Barbie is a pull string doll being programmed right now on what to say for each possible question. What is even scarier is McCain saying he will veto ALL spending except military. Like whoa... the Hanoi Hilton GI Joe doesn't realize some of those pork projects are much needed domestic programs for our elderly, etc. Obama's words about a scalpel needed to trim the fat instead of an axe is right on target.

2. Cenk and Ana : If you keep on beating on Sarah Palin in this manner, you lower the barrier for her perfgormance. People who listen to you, and believe you, will be amazed if she gomes out and remembers her own name. By the way, Sarah Palin has debated before. She ran for City Council, Mayor and Governor. If she was so terrible a debater, how come she won those elections? Also, if she is so bad at debates, how come no one is running clips from the debates when she ran for governor. Surely some TV station in Alaska carried the debates. When there is evidence and the evidence is never shown, the statement is always suspect. Once again, thank you for your ignorance, Cenk and Ana.

3. LOOK AT HOW CENK TY-TURD GETS PAID ON HIS DAYTIME JOB....Air America Steals Half Million Dollars From Bronx Kids Charity
Posted by Kevin
Published: July 28, 2005 - 1:50 AM
And the kicker is they're not sorry...
Here's the short version of the story, covered first by Brian Maloney with followups from Michelle Malkin and Captain Ed.
The leader of the Bronx-based Gloria Wise Club, Charles Rosen, reportedly loaned $480,000 in the startup Air America radio network, at the request of Air America chairman (at the time) Evan Cohen. The Gloria Wise Club was to benefit from the interest that Air America would pay on its loan. At the time the alleged transfers of funds took place, Cohen was also board member of the Gloria Wise Club.
Evan Cohen was sacked at Air America, and the was company sold to new investors. No one knows where the money went (though it presumably went right into the kitty of the cash hemorrhaging radio network) , or if any of the money has been ever been repaid. Because the Gloria Wise Club depends heavily on federal and city funding for its operations, New York City's Department Of Investigation (DOI) is investigating the charity for financial mismanagement specifically related to the Air America debacle.
So what does the network of Al Franken, Janeane Garofalo, and Jerry Springer have to say about this "loan," which literally robbed seniors and kids of needed services? Brian Maloney received this response from Air America:
"On MAY 24, 2004 the newly formed PIQUANT LLC acquired the principal assets of AIR AMERICA RADIO from the prior ownership entities. PIQUANT has owned and operated AIR AMERICA RADIO since that time. The company that had run AIR AMERICA RADIO till then no longer had anything to do with the network.
"PIQUANT had no involvement whatsoever with funds from GLORIA WISE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB. PIQUANT neither received nor expended any of the sums that are the subject of the City's investigation of the CLUB.
"PIQUANT is not being investigated by the City, which is investigating a transaction that took place before PIQUANT existed."
Translation - We didn't exist as a corporate entity at the time of the swindle, so it can't be our fault. The Air America that stole that money doesn't exist anymore. Obviously this story is a diversionary tactic; plotted and orchestrated by Karl Rove to divert attention from his own troubles...
Action Items:
Call Air America (866-303-2270) on air and ask them "Where's the Gloria Wise Club's half million dollars?" You'll have to get by the phone screeners first - just say you want to talk about Karl Rove or Hillary Clinton...
Update: More information about Piquant and the purchase designed to screw the creditors (including the Gloria Wise Boys & Club) in, Air America's Charity Scam Denials Don't Ring True
Update 2: Air America defenders miss the point. It's not about "stealing" the charities money, it's about paying the money back because it's the right thing to do. For those who would like to quibble about the word "steal," think what would happen if you as an individual took out a loan under fraudulent circumstances, didn't pay it back, then skipped town...
Update 3: Air America now says they agreed to pay back the loan months ago. See Air America's Charity Scam Denials Don't Ring True for the details...

7. Keep talking numb nutts I guess Biden thinking TV was a household Item in 1929 and FDR was president is realllllll smart.. He has been on the wrong side of national defense for 25+ years --- and he thinks he is a healer stand up dude get out of that wheel chair stand up
Richard at 11:30PM on Sep 28th 2008
8. Watch the opposing viewpoints turn when Biden keeps talking about his "past" experience like McCain did & was blasted for sounding like he was living in the past.
Biden will get a free ride & be exalted for his grasp of the issues & his past senate performance. It won't matter if he comes up lame misquoting foreign affairs or his past different viewpoints with Obama. It'll all wash like Obama/Biden are two peas in a pod according to the lefties.
The same accusations that have been leveled against Palin being next in line won't apply to the idiocy of the gaffe king Joe Biden.
Imagine Joe Biden just as well standing before the U.N. giving an address of urgency of Russia's aggression. What a joke!
I'd take Palin's oratory any day of the week in that setting over scratch my head & throw me a bone Biden....
Bobby at 11:55PM on Sep 28th 2008
9. Bobby: You make some salient points. I think the biggest error made was not letting Palin just be herself. Tell Couric "No, I don't have any foreign experience but I'm not running for President. I can learn though." All these cheesecake answers were set-ups. Ask Couriic why she had her ratings go to the toilet, after all, she is a professional newscaster isn't she?
That's the difference as you pointed out. Biden can stick his head up his ass and utter the most inane statements and it doesn't hit the news. Palin's email gets hacked but hey, we don't want the government listening to our phone conversations do we? Double standards in the MSM and the blogosphere. Politicians always do the best thery can to not answer a question they can't or don't want to, yet no one says "You didn't answer the question lamer, do you know the answer?" Anyone that says "I can be President, no problem" is a liar unless they have been president. No one is ready for that office until they get in it and they better have some spine which is where I see Obama lacking. He can be as smart as Einstein, but Einstein couldn't tie his shoes. Age gives you experience because you have seen it all for 60-70 years. Does anyone think Putin is the "New Russian" now? Hang in there Bobby, it don't mean nothin' til the votes are cast and I don't think Obama is going to win. I could be wrong but after the first debate, McCain's ahead where they don't poll.

11. The ambush on the way to the ok corral. Sarah did extremely well in her debate while running for Governor. Yes, it was only for Gov. seat, but Democrats should not get overconfident with Joe "Gaffe a minute" Biden in the debate.
Did Cenk really get busted by the police???? Oh my God, oppps gosh, Cenk may have to be a Republican again. Hope that rumor is false.

13. Reverend Botts had said
Of course Obama has dual Citizenship. Are you retarded?
Reverend, I have been saying that all along with questions about his BC. Reverend, it was Hussein Obama who just acknowledged that on HIS web site, not mine. Obama is thus retarded, right Reverend?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
His father was a Kenyan citizen. This makes Obama a Kenyan Citizen as well.
Yes, wow, now you acknowledge it to, just a bit slow on your part Reverend.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Let me give you an example.
My Wife was born in Nigeria. She is a citizen of Nigeria. We have 3 kids. All of them are Citizens of the USA and Nigeria.
Reverend Botts, you are sharp as a tack. PS, none of your children are running for POTUS right now and that is the issue. And none may have another citizenship in question as does Hussein Obama with his possible citizenship with Indonesia.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I see since he's demolishing McCain in the polls, you have to resort back to your bigoted self.
Did not you say you do not believe in the polls? Or was it you do not believe in the polls only they show Hussein Obama trailing?
PS-still over one month to election day. This economic mess still has to be resolved and then see if it works. If we drop sharply into a recession or another economic crisis, history show us that the Republicans will take the hit, thus anger directed at McCain.
xxxxxxxxxx
How sad.

Still grabbing the free advertising??? You know, a successful business man as yourself can actually pay for advertising and get people to visit your web site. You know, cash out of your pocket instead of freeloading on AOL's website. You could could advertise on that other freeloaders website.

14. y'all need to all reserve your judgements of palin's intelligence until after the swimsuit competition.
Louis IX KingofFrance at 2:22AM on Sep 29th 2008
15. Yeah, Eric, despite the fact that nobody at Air America had ANYTHING to do with it, stealing from charity is REALLY low.
When Cindy McCain stole drugs from the American Voluntary Medical Team, she destroyed the charity, which had provided emergency medical and surgical care to impoverished children. Her husband, Sen. John McCain, used his resources and influence to cover up the drug use and then to hinder the investigation of the crime.
Yep, stealing from charity is really low.
