TO STILL FOR HILL…

PLEASE WITH THE SICK BLOGS….CNN YOU SURE AREN'T MODERATING THIS BLGS WELL ENOUGH THAT A SICKO LIKE THIS CAN POST SUCH A DISGUSTING LIE…

MAYBE YOU ARE THE ONE ON THE DOWN LOW….

WOW! I am kind of taken aback at all the hate and BOLDFACE LIES on this page!!!

CNN please help all the candidates out and start censuring comments that contain at the very least OBVIOUS BOLDFACE LIES about any of the candidates still running. Visitors to the ticker, would be sure to appreciate it.

Most former Presidents had no problems using their full names. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry S Truman,Dwight David Eisenhower,John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Lyndon Baines Johnson,
Richard Milhous Nixon, Gerald Rudolph Ford, James Earl Carter,
Ronald Wilson Reagan,George Herbert Walker Bush, William Jefferson Clinton, and George Walker Bush Laura were not afraid to use their full names. WHY IS OBAMA AFRAID TO USE HIS FULL NAME??? Hmmm

Some people are so ignorant that the reason for the ignorancy is because the can stand to see a black man to be president well shame on you all.

To David O

Should have done what someone with common sense would of done and packed your stuff and left…….

I bet you were the tough guy on TV with no teeth that said "I gonna stick this them there storm out"

HAHAHA

Hey Bobby, first off the number is over $250K. My household income is over $250K and the point is to make sure people who are not as fortunate can still be able to go to the doctor or eat. You may have to cut out a couple of trips to Martha's Vineyard. Big deal. Your preident is the one hwo has us in a was that costs $12 bilion a month. First time ever t that a presiendt cut taxes while the country was at war. 80% of the people you would see their taxes go up are the same ones who elected Mr. Bush so now they have to deal with it.

This time the Democratic candidate has no intention of sitting back and letting the mongers have a field-day. This "Internet President" will fight fire with fire and the mongers can take notice now–IT WON'T WORK THIS TIME!

Boy! Obama is really a proactive leader who knows how to handle crazy, immature, and important issues. Unlike, some who don't even know how to get on the internet or operate a computer. I am one who takes my hat off to McCain for his great service in the military but he knows nothing about running this country. He is a follower and not a leader.

I mean to result to trying to get dirt on someone is pretty pathetic. I mean if this is the best they can do to try and eliminate their opponent then they are in trouble. Besides, his birth certificate is none of their business and neither ours. If presenting your birth certificate was an open policy then why do our government have it as a sensitive document; because it's fools like those who want access to someone personal information for their own profitable gain. Why don't we just put all our information out there for everyone to see? Idiots, as if theft identity is not on the high rise. There's no telling what they will do with this man information to distort him. We all no Republicans are a bunch of crooks and thieves trying to hide under God. That's why they do so well because they are a bunch of hypocrite who can deceive the best like some of you. Get a life!!!!

If people think Obama is on the down low how dumb or does it matter. Look at McCain, he left his sick wife for a wealthy young chick. So why personal life if you were not there first hand. People evern if we don't like a candiate what is this nonsense going to do for or to them. Mccain and Obama have to live up to a standard now, not what was or shoulda coulda in the past. Get a life.

Very smart move! I get at at least one email every day packed full of rediculous lies and misquotes about Obama. What's funny is, I NEVER see a lie-mail about McCain. I guess only Neoconservative Republicans are afraid enough to spend their time making up this garbage.

If you can't find anything REAL wrong with Obama, then why don't you just vote for him? The sad part is, there are a lot of people who are very easily fooled who actually take these liemails for fact.

R.I.F….You are the idiot. Rumors such as you attempt to use are really obvious in the stupitity of that type of rumor. I believe Barry is covering up the truth about himself. I have a gut feeling I can not shake about Obama. I do not believe the Larry Sinclair rumor. The drug use could be true based on his own admission, so there..

So, it's called a smear when you go after Obama, but it's called "justified and truth" when you go after anyone else…

yet again another reason not to vote for him.

Anyone anywhere with internet access can say anything they want. It's true - that is the down side of the web. As a web developer, I know how easy it is to fake things. But it is also a wonderful tool when used properly.

It's sad to see that there are people gullible enough to believe everything they read online - including stories based on racism, sexism and smears. Get the real facts.

It's one thing to be against the position of candidates or even to personally think someone is too old or too young or senile or too inexperienced or just to have a different stance. It's another to spread lies or just repeat them without knowing the facts.

When you make decisions based on race, gender or rumor, sorry, in my opinion, you don't deserve to vote. There really ought to be some kind of reality test for voting… like for driving.

These voters are just dangerous.

web site paid for by Hillary Clinton (well…she borrowed the money)

The people that just don't like Obama will believe anything they read. If you do believe everything Obama haters, I have a box of bricks to sell you. These bricks are worth millions. I'll sell it to you for just 100 dollars.

Marty wake-up! Glad that Obama is going to do this, so much of the crap we see and hear on TV is a figment of someone's imagination or an out and out lie, the problem is that the socalled news networks thrive on this garbage and do not bother to verify what they are helping spread. Hell the truth might hurt their ratings…Too bad it is not possible for a candidate to file suit against these liars.; wow then this crap would stop.. Imagine what a political campaign would be like if only the truth was permitted to be spoken.. WOW! McSHAME would not even get his mother's vote. The Republican party would be history…so to would many of todays socalled Democrats. GO OBAMA!
OBAMA will win in a LANDSLIDE! You saw it here first.

This whole "Yes We Can" approach is starting to get creepy. People are following this guy like he's some sort of "saviour." I think I remember another leader famous for his chanting supporters and dismissive of any dissidence. Can anyone say "Heil Obama"?

And why do some people here think that this "fact-checking" is in any way an original idea that shows "change" and "leadership?" Republicans have had such websites for years. Those were full of partisan bias, and I do not expect Obama's site to be in any way more reliable.
Oh, but it MUST be different because it's Obama…

If there is one rumor I'd love to see the fact-checks on is the number one "Obama is different." Over and over again we have seen overwhelming evidence against this. His platform and voting records are an almost replica of Hillary's. (CNN had a comprehensive, detailed article on this) He too voted for the reauthorization of Iraqi money and the Patriot Act. (you can check the voting record on the US Senate's website) He too has taken money from oil executives. (see a lovely Newsweek article on that one)
So please show me evidence that Obama is in any way different!

You want real change with a record that shows that actions speak louder than words? Vote Ron Paul!

Judy- please explain how tracking down bloggers = voter fraud??

OMG - I can't believe all the things that are being said here. What presidential candidate has ever had to make their birth certificate public? Are you asking John McCain to post his birth certificate? Did you ask Hillary? Because of Obama's name and background Americans think there is the big conspiracy going on. Educated yourselves - have a college degree doesn't mean anything.

Yeah some republicans are all over cnn.com to here and pure there hateful statements and lies.we the americans don't belive any lies that you neo conns are speculating on this blog.

If this dispels any of the rumors I would be surprised,if it works great,but then I would expect Fox news and the 3 networks to do 30 minute news shows about Obama and these rumors…I can hear it now"Are the rumors true?"and then 30 minutes of repeating the rumors,and nothing,not a word about how they are made up.
I am sick of the media in this country,tired of them manipulating our elections.
I think Obama has a good plan for America,and could care less about the other garbage even if it happened to be true.The fact of the matter is we cannot afford another 4 years like the last 8.I would have voted for Mickey Mouse if he was the Democratic nominee this year.I have voted for the best candidate all my life,sometimes republican,sometimes democrat.Now the choice is clear,mine is a vote AGAINST republicans more than it is a vote for Obama.

I am a republican, but I believe Obama will win. Everyone that considers themselves a victim will relate to Obama, such as women, certain ethnic groups, gays, legal and illegal immigrants. Since the majority of people in our country seem to be victims, I believe Obama will probably get the majority of the vote.

BOBBY:

I am a Hurricaine Katrina survivor displaced from my home…

So you and the GOP can go screw yourself!

Way to go Senator Obama!

This just shows the Democratic Party that you will NOT be pushed around and you will PUSH BACK!

I'm praying for you, your family but more importantly our beloved Nation. We need you in the White House in January 2009. We need a President who understands all people, who will end the war in Iraq and go kill Bin Laden, and who will provide Universal Health Care and repair our reputation in the World. "Morning in America, Democratic style.

God sees what these people are trying to do to you, and He is watching them and taking notes. From the lies about you being a Muslim to his very ill individual, Mr. Sinclair. God sees them and He will judge them for all their lies about you.

Barack is akin to a high school student who just graduated from "space camp" and now has been chosen to Command the next Nasa Space Shuttle Mission to Mars? His experience when this campaign gears up and gets closer to the fall will falter on that one note alone. He cannot ride above substance in a national campaign.

Some of these comments just amaze me! If your team loses a game do you cry foul too? Did the Red Wings honestly win the Stanley Cup, etc?

In every contest - whether a game or election - there are winners and losers.

I have rooted for candidates and teams that have lost but don't go around smearing the winners…let's see some maturity and reasonable thoughts in these comments!

"I am a believer in knowing what you're doing when you apply for a job. And, I think that if I were to seriously consider running on a national ticket I would essentially have to start now before having served a day in the Senate. Now, there are some people who may be comfortable doing that, but I'm not one of those people."
Barack Obama, November 2004 after winning his seat in the Seante

It's a shame that in 2008 the republicans still win an election without dirty tactics. That shows the true weakness of their brand and their party. If they were truly better for America and had the best course for America then they should be able to win with issues and solutions. This is why I will never be a repblican. Why be with a bunch of loser? When you lay with dogs you wake up with fleas.

OBAMA 08 CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN

Lets Go Dems!!!!

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS FULL OF MOSTLY BIGOTS, RACISTS, INBRED, UNEDUCATED, RELIGIOUS FANATICS, AND CORRUPT SWINE!

SOMEONE HAD TO SAY IT.

Obama dodges debates, lies systematically and media is not holding him accountable. How those paid Obama-campaigners smeared Hillary Clinton in this web channel will not happen again, if he tries the same crap on McCain.

What like this is going to change my mind? Unless you all plan to "debunk" his name might I remind YOU is muslim-he is not the right fit for America…

how about "debunking his arrogance…..

Remember our children, brothers and sisters who perished on 9/11 killed/slaughtered by muslims…..do not ever forget. Do not forget that right now-OUR soldiers are there fighting for YOUR freedom-don't do them an injustice by voting for someone like barak h obama

Well all of you can say what ever you wanna say about obama but god knows the truth.

To SANDI:

What you are saying is when Obama gets in I will get a pay raise……My family has an income over $200K and we have what is called a budget (try it) we allready pay a ton in taxes more the some people make it. If he raises my taxes to $40% I may not be able to afford my house I live in Boston and $200K a year is not that much

Explain to me how that is fair…..Currently I can afford my house yet if Obama is elected we will not be able to afford it. This is awful and because I am educated and make a decent living someone is going to take MORE of what I have earned and redistibute it.

If you like that kind of system you should move to Venezuala or Cuba. Democrats make me sick. Dont worry I will keep working to support you libs

Now that Clinton is out of the race we see where all the hate, fear mongering and smears were actually coming from; ugly, nasty, slimy Republicans. You have met your match, his name is Barack Obama. Be very, very, afraid.

once again the dirty republicans(KARL ROVE) have to play dirty cant they be decent about anything its not enough they destroyed us made us the laughing stock of other countries but now to attack obama with these thing this is all they got please UNITE DEMS GET THESE PEOPLE OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE OUR COUNTRY WILL BE BETTER OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KARL ROVE IS ALL BEHIND THIS AND WILL BE THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER HE IS HELPING MCCAIN SMEAR OBAMA REMEBER KARL ROVE KARL ROVE OH AND ANOTHER THING THEY ARE GONNA START PLAYING ON OUR FEARS TRYING TO INSTALL FEAR USING TERRIOST DONT FALL FOR IT WE DID WITH BUSH AND WE WERE MADE FOOLS OF NOT AGAIN PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHRIS……………..

I've read all his bookS and EITHER YOU have had trouble IN THE PAST with your comprehensive READING SKILLS or your just a freakin LIAR!!!!

STOP THE MADNESS

OBAMA /08

I do not think Obama is Muslim but there is something I don't just get. Do we have Americans that are Muslims or better still does an American have a right to be a Muslim? Are we saying that a legitimate American citizen, who is a Muslim can never run for presidency in America? Are we saying by reason of someone being a Muslim, they are automatically non-patriotic or that their mission for presidency would solely be to hand over America to terrorist? I guess we are just hypocrites! We advocate for freedom of religion, expression, etc. and then try to nail people down for their choices or even make their lives miserable.
By this I am not in anyway, suggesting a possibility of Obama being a Muslim.

Donna from miami…this is not news…ya sabemos que los cubanos votan por los republicanos….is your lost..we dont need you!

Carla - Fighting back is part it. Why don't you buy a clue.

***************************************************************
IM A REPUBLICAN AND I HAVE SEEN THE HOW TENACIOUS WE ARE IN WINNING BUT CONSIDERING THE CHOICE. STOP THE MADNESS. VOTE OBAMA.

Well, we are bitter here in the San Joaquin Valley. He can come here and say it , we won't take offense. Truth, above all, Truth.

Hey TESAP…actually, his middle name really is Hussein!!! Don't worry, nobody expects the Obama sheep to really know the truth.

Well charles ,why want anyone that has nothing to hide not post his birth certificate to public scrutiney. I can think of a couple of reasons. 1. It might show the real place of birth. 2. It might show his real name. 3. It will give the names of the parents listed on it. So if it doesn't have no negative information then go for it. Oh by the way everyone in this house including myself have college educations ranging from a bachelors degree to masters.

No smears necessary. In my book, ACTIONS speak louder than WORDS.

MCCAIN 08 HILLARY 12

We've not really had a battle in a presidential election for 8 years … an eternity with the pace of online technology. Very smart move by a very smart campaign. All those critics that though Obama would be a pansy, soft, vulnerable roll-over candidate for the GOP Mean Machine were dead wrong.

This campaign is tech-savvy and not STUCK in the PAST like the GOP. ( for example … McCain wanting to apply the Korea War model to Iraq on the sly … that's not what we signed up for … anyway)

We see how the speed of YouTube and bloggs has made this a more honest race. How tactics that worked in past elections won't work anymore. Lies & half-truths that use to be effective are revealled for what they are … for example a candidate saying that "when we bring troops home is NOT IMPORTANT" … I had to run from sniper fire … etc.

John McCain, I hope you can keep the GOP in order and stop their BS. It will be the death of you in this election if you don't. American is tired of it and the Democrats are pissed!

First let me say that I can respect those that vote for either candidate based on the values they have and the issues on the table.

I have no respect for Clinton supporters that choose to vote McCain out of spite for Obama. That clearly oozes with the puss of reverse sexism and racism. The next time you take out the trash, take those attitudes with you.

I for one have received hundreds of smear letters aimed at Clinton, Mcain and Obama in my email. Interestingly enough, without exception all of the smear letters that I received had no reference to what their source was. That says it all for me. If you cant quote a source then you have no basis in fact from which to justify your claims.

I chose to do the research myself on all three candidates through the internet and to spend the time listening to what they had to say in their respecitive speeches.

There is a whole lot of crap out there floating around that is totally unfounded and has no bering in any truth anywhere.

My put to all of us in this country is to do your own research, make your own decisions and pay little to no attention to the smear letters that come into your inbox…..unless of course they actually reflect their sources…those might just have an ounce of truth to them somewhere.

Shame on McCain
I'm sure it most be Mccain' s team who spread the rumors

Raymond Duke:
He stated that on fightthesmears.com, his birth certificate is made public. Did you even read the article? Its says it on this same page, and on his website. Are you delusional, or did you read anything this page says?

Most are true. The Democrats hate America. That is why the Hillary supporters came over to us. They were just looking for a reason and Obama gave them one. Now we will get it done. Vote McCain for a better America.
1 man 1 woman
pro-life and has no FEAR.
McCain08

Hey Michelle - News flash: Visit the website, and view a full PDF of Obama's birth certificate. Maybe you should have a little more information before posting your ignorant comments.

IF OBAMA CANT STAND THE HEAT IN THE KITCHEN, HOW WELL IS HE GOING TO HOLD UP WHEN THE HEAT IS TURNED UP IN THE WHITEHOUSE? Rumors, lies, distorting facts all go with the territory 'Politics'! Get used to t and get on to the REAL ISSUES. Please and thank you!

He's smoking cigarettes again!

________________________________________

I guess they decided not to poll the KKK.

So hes trying to fight the GOP smear machine.Whats wrong in that I ask? He has every right to do that and hes only doing that to save the american from being misled - like the past 8 years !
People who talk about Obamas lack of experience - Comon - we all did something for the first time - be it taking a job, being a father/mother….
Look at the way he has managed/organized his campaign - doesnt it tell you a lot about what he will be brining to the Oval?Discipline is what this country needs.

And yeah, I AM BITTER about the gas prices !

Let's get to work people. We need to encourage Unity and to those who are in doubt. Let's not get too comfortable simply because our candidate has a small lead.

From Saddam to Auchi to Rezko to Obama with links… Verify it yourself.

Google it and find out, if CNN moderator does not delete this.

What is so amazing about all these rumors is that they are directly contradictory… I mean… many won't vote for him because of his Christian pastor/church but they also think he's Muslim. It's just ridiculous.

I really don't see how anyone can read his stand on issues and listen to him speak and watch him and not see what millions see — that this is a truly gifted speaker, very intelligent and adamant that he will take a careful, considered approach to decisions with input from experts advising him. And the way he consistently was respectful to Hillary Clinton personally throughout everything — this will be a great man.

Free your mind of the old hates, fears and prejudices. I'm a white, 54yr. old woman born in Texas. I don't see his color - I see his spirit and drive and caring for the American public. If you've even a little bit curious - open your eyes and take a good look at this man.

Free your mind and the rest will follow. Be color blind, don't be so shallow.

Peter E -

You tell 'em! Ne timeas, ne paveas… be neither afraid, nor discouraged to tell the Obama-haters that you are opposed to them and their Hillary-hating… and also that you are opposed to having our nominees selected by the failed leadership of the undemocratic Democratic Party.

I won't be voting for Ron Paul like you, though.

I'll be voting against the sleazy tactics of my own party's failed leadership by voting for the most moderate and experienced candidate on the ballot in Nov - JOHN McCAIN.

Wake up People!!
Obama is giving us something to hope for and believe in again. We sometimes get so discouraged in our lives that we can't recognize positive influences when we see them. Stop the bitterness, it gets us no where.
You have my vote Obama!
God Speed!

I would like to know what he meant by Typ. White Woman. Does that make it OK to call some Typ. Black Man or Woman?

To those of you who believe Obama's claim that he has never changed his position on Iraq–you need to see an interview he did
on "Chicago Tonight." He says the opposite of what he says today.

I hope the video is still up on Youtube.

It is sad when someone go on the internet and lie on someone
without doing it in person is a ugly person. But this will happen
when a black candidate is close to winning the white house.

Another good strategy……

Folks, even if you don't like the guy you must admire the way he has handled his campaign…come on, you can atleast do that…..

"Behind every rumor is a little truth. We need to know about the real Obama. "
_________________________________________
What? So if I said that "you were really an alien from Mars that has come to Earth to eat people" I guess based on your statement, that would have some truth to it? YOU ARE AN IDIOT…PERIOD.

The funniest thing about reading this ticker is that the people like:

Peter E
Still for Hill
Charlotte
Chris
Praetorian, Fort Myers
One of the 18 million
Janey for Hillary/McCain
Uncle Sam, etc.

are the very reason why he set this site up. Crazy hate-filled right-wing bloogers spreading lies and hate. You guys amaze me. I'm just happy you idiots each only one vote. I'm sure you won't vote because you'll be locked in your closet on election day still sedning out hate e-mails filled with untruths. GET LOST!!!

Earlier a blogger stated to vote for Obama because our schools are falling apart.

Did anyone investigate the state of Chicago schools? Did anyone investigate Illinois schools? Did anyone investigate schools in his senate district? Please do yourself a favor and learn the real truth.

Try all they want to. You can't hide the truth. That is the good thing about the internet. If he wnats to confront my questions than he can answer these facts . Fact 1. Why did he attend a radical anti- American church for twenty years that call white people whitey. Fact 2. Why is he friends with People like "Ayers" who is a known domestic terriost. Fact 3. Why doesn't he want to use his middle name. Fact 4. why will he not release his birth certificate for public scrutiney. What is so damaging about it. As a veteran of twenty years who fought for this country I cannot vote for a man that holds these views, friends and hates america. I can't think of any reason a person would not release their birth certificate who is running for public office in the united states.

Rob,

Why do you think Obama doesn't want town hall meetings? Because he is absolutely dreadful in debates. He pulled himself out of debates with Hillary because he knew he'd make a stuttering fool out of himself AGAIN.

All Barack IS good at is reading prepared speeches. Oh, and I just crack up every time I see him holding his head at a "Presidential angle." He looks like he's posing for a statue.

What a clown!

I used to be Republician…a disabled, Vietnam Vet female….have been since Regan ran for President…however when a gentleman started running for the office named Obama…I started taking interest…went to his web site…listened to his speeches…he struck me as a 21st century Jack Kennedy…then both Ted and Caroline endorce him…then Caroline wrote her article…I was unaware of her article untill after I switched my party designation…some say he has no clear-cut solution on the issues…NOT SO…some say he has no idea what is going on in the Middle East…NOT SO…Obama is the best choice!!!

If anyone wonders why I left the party and became an independent, just read the hate filled comments coming from them.

I it it weren't that way. There are so many issues that we need to resolve and I just felt that the party was more interested in playing to the lowest level of supporters.

At this point the Republicans just remind me of a angry mob, tearing down anyone who isn't exactly like them and will not compromise or listen to reason.

TACTICS OF LAME DUCKS. WHOEVER THE PERPETRATORS ARE LET IT BE KNOWN THAT THESE TACTICS HAVE FAILED IN THE JUST CONCLUDED PRIMARIES AND WILL FAIL AGAIN AND AGAIN!

SMEAR TACTICS AND FEAR MONGERING CANNOT STAND GOD'S OMNIPOTENT HAND. AMEN!

IT'S OUR GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO DENOUNCE THESE RUMORS ABOUT OBAMA, THEY KNOW THE TRUTH.

Well its about time these rumors are getting ridiculous. Serious people had to setup a website for those who buy into the right smears attempt. And yes his middle name is hussein get over it! You know if he really wanted to take over this country and destory it like these people proclaim than he wouldn't call himself Barack Hussein Obama you know just a thought. I think he would probably have change his name to something less "threatening" you know just a thought. I mean this is not a good way to avoid attention with that name. I can't believe we are still talking about a name just when I thought the accusations could not get anymore dumb. I don't know how people can be republicans I respect their decision to pick their own party because it represents their values. But I wouldn't want to be apart of a party that spends more time smearing others with lies than talking about the real issues. It's sad what the republican party has become there use to be respect now they have gone too far with these ridiculous attacks.

Glad he open the new site but with the number of crazies out there not sure it will do much good.

It's so disappointing to see and hear the hatred that exists in the U.S. These blogs are seen and read all over the world. We look so dull to the rest of the world it is amazing. I hope our children do a better job of being united then we have done.

The hatred is just pathetic, simple minded and really, really sad.

By the way, who enslaved whom in the US. Seems to me the folks with a real axe to grind are not the crazies ranting and raving on this blog.

We have witnessed voter fraud in the caucuses and the DNC handing the nomination to Obama.

I am beginning to believe the polls are rigged and are in Obama's camp - another example of fraud?

Everyone I know says they will not vote for Obama under any circumstances.

Who are they polling?

McCain has NO economic plan for me, (income at 30,000 a year). Do you think taxing only 300,000 of the wealthiest people will take care of our country's debt. It's not enough. Bush has dug us in a huge hole.

Will you choose:

Mr. McShame (that works for Bush)

or

Mr. CHANGE (that works for us)

I will choose the honorable CHANGE!

:David

This campaign has brought out the worst in people. Statistics show that 1 in every 5 people have a mild to severe mental impediment. Some of those people like to blog. But for the rest of us fair minded Americans: we can no longer allow those who have divided this country along racial lines to live comfortably with their disease. If you disagree with Sen. Obama about the issues, that's your choice and right but the bile that comes from the mouth of some adult American people is repulsive.

“What you won’t hear from this campaign or this party is the kind of politics that uses religion as a wedge, and patriotism as a bludgeon — that sees our opponents not as competitors to challenge, but enemies to demonize. Because we may call ourselves Democrats and Republicans, but we are Americans first. We are always Americans first.” - Barack Obama, June, 2008

NO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Peter E - How do you expect Obama to police what people post on blogs? And please don't act like the Hilary supporters and McCain supporters are not on blogs posting hateful and nasty messages. And why anyone would choose a candidate based upon what that persons supporters are posting on a blog makes little sense to me.

To FLStormTeam:

I bet the CNN poll of polls is a better indicator than your "everyone I know…" survey!

Its the majority of Democrats who are ready for real change. You staunch Clinton "supporters" had better get used to the idea of President Obama. You will not hold this country hostage with your immaturity and vindictiveness. You may not believe its fair (although no one had a problem with MI & FL until someone was losing), but voting is a right people died for and you abuse it by using it against someone then for something. Not only that, but you insult me and others who have family in Iraq by supporting a man who says when they come home is "not important". It is IMPORTANT TO US EVERYDAY they are there. Not only do you disgust me, you disappoint me as a fellow American.

Well its about time these rumors are getting ridiculous. Serious people had to setup a website for those who buy into the right smears attempt. And yes his middle name is hussein get over it! You know if he really wanted to take over this country and destory it like these people proclaim than he wouldn't call himself Barack Hussein Obama you know just a thought. I think he would probably have change his name to something less "threatening" you know just a thought. I mean this is not a good way to avoid attention with that name. I can't believe we are still talking about a name just when I thought the accusations could not get anymore dumb.

Evelyn: Who cares about rumors? I do. Because of rumors, we had 7 years of Bush :'(

Go Bam! Great way to fight back!

UMMMMM his middle name is not Hussein………….. that's a republicrap rumor check your facts….. And what is wrong with being Muslim???????????????? Is that now a crime…. by the way he is a Christian……

Ft Myers check your facts…………….. 2 fathers ??????

Limbaugh and his dittoheads spread the rumors and lies,like global warming is a left wing hoax.

If we had never been at war with Iraq would Obama be accused of being a Muslim, of course not. However, someone would spread some type of rumor and hide their hand. Do Americans feel safer now, of course not, because if so false rumors of Obama being a Muslim wouldn't continue. This is all part of the Bush's administrations fear factor that was successfully planted in the heads of some Americans for re-election of Bush and war with Iraq. If we can't find bin Laden in the Mideast with all the intelligence available, don't you think with Obama living right under our noses as an American citizen our government would have undercovered the truth. Isn't it our Governments responsibility to denounce the rumors about Obama, yes it is, but they won't because they don't want you to know the truth.

Does Obama at least clarify why he is a socialist on this website? Promoting socialism is not something I expect from a United States presidential candidate. What a shame!

'The news on CNN Obama takes a lead in the poll. Where the heck do they get these polls. They must make them up to their own advantage. Everyone and I mean everyone I know WILL NOT VOTE FOR BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.

Hillary Supporter for McCain 08′

Who cares about your friends? You don't know everybody…

If you EDUCATE YOURSELF and go to his site, you will see that his middle name isn't really Hussein…

Why don't you educate yourself a little

Just because you put Mc in front of his name doesnt make you clever. It just makes you guys look young, childish and STUPID!

Oddly I haven't heard any rumors about McineedaCane….. I guess everything about him is true………….. Too bad for him

post please

I think that instead of providing an uneducated explanation as to why you won't vote for Obama such as, he won't show his birth certificate(which he has and i'm sure you feel very uneducated right now), his religion(you people refuse to believe the man is Christian when your so-called present Christian president could care less about you. Thats why he gave you $600 and Iraq billions). I don't care who you vote for. Thats your choice. But if you're going to give a reason, try not to make yourself look stupid by coming up with something that actually makes sense or just tell the truth about why you won't vote for him. Be grown ups for a change.

This is great work Obama. Since there is no such thing as "THE TRUTH," Obama is smart to start this website. At the end of the day, the only thing we can judge all of the presidential candidates is their word and their record of choices in government. Obama has intelligent answers for the issues, he can enjoy having sex with porcupines for all I care. Just get the job done.

Obama 08

It wont help those that want to believe the lies,many of whom have comments on here.

Obama is a DONE DEAL. I'm certain of that, but I love the way Americans are about their politics, except the Farbicated Lies.

Who cares about the rumors…that's normal of ignorant people.
Obama is the better choice & will be the best president for America…& Hillary as V.P.

'Can he do us a service and also add fact checks on the rumors HIS supporters spread about Obama's opponents? Oh, but those are against others, and I guess they don't need to apologize for them…'

MAYBE IF YOUR CANDIDATE WAS SMART ENOUGH TO DO THINGS LIKE THIS THEY WOULDN"T HAVE TO RELY ON OBAMA…

They wouldn't steal his 'Change' mantra…

They wouldn't steal his take on the war…

They wouldn't want him to pay their campaign debt…

They wouldn't want to ride his plane…

It's so funny because all of the candidates are stealing from Obama, and now you want him to worry about other candidates rumors? LOL

The messiah of smear cries foul.

How about a site on Obama flip flops. Let's start with the a flip and a flop on removing troops from Iraq. April 2004 video on Obama interview where he states: "no, no, no, I never said troops should be withdrawn."

country before party…vote McCain.

Hey Richard - if you are voting for a man of character IT DARN SURE AIN"T MCWAR!
BTW repub liars, Obama is a US citizen, born in USA! Stop the lies but I guess that is all you guys have…

He has no real experience.
Both of his father's were Mulim.
He has thrown all of his religious supporters aside. So what religion/order does he subsribe?
He has touted the values of Marxist ideals..and declared a Jihad on the 30% of Americans who create jobs in America.
Just who does Barrack Hussein Obam represent?

Now the problem is trying to get the stupid people to read.

It's like a commentator I heard on MSNBC about the Obama rumors. She said that its "we heard you did this", so he has to prove that he didn't, but even if he proves that he didn't, the implication is out there that he did it. This is what happened to Kerry. I'm so glad that Obama is being proactive. No more wimpy Democrats for us.

liers is a lier so have no place with O campain, M people need to know that they are already surrenderd.

Hey Hillary Supporters,

You voted for her, you wanted her policies to go into effect in Washington. Now that she has lost the primary and cannot be your president, you might as well make sure that none of her policies are reflected in the positions of the next president. IF you cannot have Hillary then you definitely do not want her policies to be enacted for the country. If we all suffer under McCain for 4 more years then Hillary will have a better chance of being elected in 2012.

Go Hillary 2012

Obama can't win this election - he is losing support daily

Donna-Miami

You have no idea what you are tlaking about Cubans have always voted Republican. Bill Clinton did the best out of Dems with this group and he only got 35-40%

LARRY SINCLAIR TOOK A LIE DETECTOR TEST AND FAILED… so ends that rumor N E X T!!!!

I am glad these were addressed.. i was worried about the Michelle tape myself(and i am a die hard Obama supporter) but that just goes to show you how smear attacked can only be as effective and they are allowed to be. Barak facing these issues(with proof no less) is by no means anything other than excellent leadership and great campaigning

GO BARAK AND MICHELLE!
GO DEMS UNITED!

All Republicans know how to do is attack democrats negatively because they know that democrats will always win on the issues. They try to scare white people with their attacks on democrats. Well this time it is not going to work because people are hurting.

Go democrats, Go Obama.

##############################################
Wrong. You just put all Republicans in the same box with your attack. You sounded very neg. and should look at what comes out of your mouth before lumping a whole group together with a blanket statement.

Could someone in all honesty tell me what is wrong, exactly what is wrong with being a Muslim? I thought we were free in this country to practice whatever religion we wish to. The founding fathers certainly thought so. This is surely a land of stark contrasts and MUCH hypocrisy.

America: The land of the free, unless you happen to feel differently than the majority of us, then you can get out.

This is brilliant, especially when one thinks of the power of the internet & search engines. The most vulgar rumors get traction when spread thru the net as most reputable media organizations won't air them on their networks or print publications. So, with this website, not only does Obama fight fire with fire but if someone wants to do an internet search on one of these "rumors" they'll be able to get directed to Obama's anit-rumor site. Brilliant!

Marty June 12th, 2008 9:45 am ET

What is wrong with people? Who would vote for Obummer?

WHy were people stupid enough to vote for Dybya? And some people stupid enough to vote for him TWICE?

A vote for Obama is the first step in undoing the damage caused by years of GOP abuse of power.

We're all Americans after all. This has got end somewhere. I can't believe the constant bickering between one side and the other. We're acting exactly like congress who we are tired of. To start false rumors about any candidate is despicable. Come on people.

I would never teach my kids to act the way we are, and I don't think anyone in here would either.

It's so cute to see the unoriginal Fox/rightie talking points re-posted here but equally sad that Jerry + Still for Hill still have access to computers.

Anyone for McCain, do not bother with CNN blogs–they moderate most of them–letting very few through–they love mean, nasty Obama bloggers-although I have seen less meanness and more begging and fawning toHillary supporters since he was given the nomination by DNC

Sandi,

Check your math. The government (state & local) get 15% of your money at the gas pump. The evil oil company take 4%, then invest in exploration and development while the government wants to hit them with "windfall profits" taxes.

The underlying problem is the the US won't allow for exploration and development in the US or offshore US (while Cuba is drilling 60 miles away from Florida in international waters).

Americans have become used to having someone "else" pay for their lifestyle. You can thank Greenpiece, the Sierra Club, and the liberal political establishment for the price of oil today.

He i a fraud, a liar and far more dangerous to this country then even Bush.
Open your eyes or else we are all doomed…

Time to push back, folks! My mom told me bullies are cowards, and the best way to deal with bullies is to fight back. Hate is all about fear - I'm not afraid, are you?

Barak around the clock!

Michelle,

Why do you think McCain want's town hall meetings? Because he is absolutely dreadful on public speaking and speeches. His own team pulled him from making any more speeches.

Quite ridiculous. I don't know about you but I am done with 8 years of not having an articulate president that misspeaks (lies) and exagerrates.

Obama is the only real choice to resurrect America.

OBAMA WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!

LMAO…must be a lot of stuff to smear, if he is dedicating a website to just try and block the truths from coming out!!!!

What do you have to hide Obama????

Larry Sinclair????

What else?????

IF THE ECONOMY IS THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE….PAY ATTENTION TO A POLL THAT A FINANCIAL NEWS NETWORK PUT OUT…….MCCAIN 68 OBAMA 32!!!!!!!!!………THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE MONEY IN THE STOCK MARKET,AND KNOW A THING OR TWO ABOUT FREE TRADE…TAXES…AND MONTARY POLICY…

THE REALITY IS THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS ARE CONSERVATIVE..INTELLIGENT….HARD WORKING.. THAT SPELLS A LANDSLIDE SHORT OF REGAN IN 80…..

GO AHEAD OBAMA SUPPORTERS YOU CAN BELIEVE IN CHANGE……I WILL BELIEVE IN A MAN WHO HAS CHARACTER WHO PUTS THIS COUNTRY AHEAD OF HIS OWN EGO

Theres rumors about all candidates whats new? Whats not new is how the media reports misfacts or statements, or give their personal opinion like they did with HC. The news media ought to be accountable for THEIR STATEMENTS. THEY SHOULD ALSO HAVE TO RETRACT ANY MISSTATEMENTS AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO VOICE THEIR BIAS OPINIONS…. good luck to you mr obama. I am still voting for HC

Who cares-but he's the man that's going to bring CHANGE to America-this sounds a bit like 2 kids called into a prinicpals office-"he did it"-"No, he did it"-NONSENSE!!!!

The dirt will surface on this man and his fanatics! and for once OTHERS-such as the Clintons of the McCains will not be held responsible for his lies or lack of telling the truth.

sison, news flash I am sure Obama himself did not create the website. I think they have interns do stuff like that.

Obama is the most exciting and brilliant candidate to run for prez since John F. Kennedy. I feel there may be hope for America after all. GO OBAMA!!

So, please keeping crying and whining even harder.

I too would be more inclined to support Obama if he stopped this "I'm a victim of a world conspiracy" strategy and instead focused on issues. Sure, it got him a lot of sympathy, but that doesn't make up for the fact that in debates so far he had a hard time answering any questions about his own voting record and his stance on issues. (the latter of which, for those who actually go into fact-checking, is almost an exact replica of Hillary's)
Obama supporters criticized Hillary when she started playing the "victim" game. It is time they applied the same standards to their own candidate.
Ron Paul for President!

I am going to vote for this crying baby.

d,

I'm not a Republican… I'm a registered Democrat who voted for Gore, then Kerry…. However, I didn't drink any cool-aide and have paid close attention to this race for president. Hillary told you all in a nice way that "she has already been vetted". She was giving all you idiots a clue to the fact that Obama has not been vetted.

I am a southern democrat, 30 year old male, with a top 40 college education.

I am very cinical of Obama. My family whole family is from a small town… I guess you can call us bitter b/c we are the ones who send are sons and daughters to Iraq. My brother served in the Marines for five years. I refuse to vote for someone who sat and listened to white hate speech, Anti-American, and Anti Jewish sentiment.

Call me old fashioned, but I'm voting for a patriot… That will either be Hillary or McCain.

Hillary at the convention or McCain 08

If Europe wants him they can have him.

The Republicans and their Nasty , Dirt Slinging, Personnal Attacks against other Candidates MUST STOP !!! The Republicans have managed to turn the public away from issues and the INCOMPENTANCY of the Republican Party to issues of Religion, Race, and Sex for many years now!! HOW DO I KNOW??? I am a LIFE LONG Republican who has made the change to Obama !! None of the PERSONNAL NEGATIVES affect my income, health insurance issues or Economic Future. WE must stop the DISTRACTIONS and SEE the differences in policy. Thanks Sen. Obama for taking the first step to stop NON-IMPORTANT JUNK. MY concern , as most Americans, is our Country and the Economy. If we can fix that as a United people I could care less if the the President is Green, Agnostic,Catholic, Buddist Baptist, or what ever. The Sooner we ,as voters, can show as much judgement in the voting booth as we do in our personnal lifes the better off we will all be !!!!

Judy -
It is voter fraud.
Do some quick research into Obama and his proven connections to the group ACORN…although don't look to the MSM for this information.

Obama wish to give $4000 tax credit each student, how is possible? Can he prove that? It is totally expensive deal, which will not work out.

I know why he said that, because he leading with younger vote, younger means 18-24, those are college student, most of the people of these age ran behind just with talk, they are not able to think, right and wrong, good or bad specailly in politics.

It is so sad this even has to be employed, but with the Repug slime machine in full gear and McSame's failure to show any real leadership, Mr. Obama needs to continue the fine balance between an offensive and defensive game. Game on!

Swiss in Canada June 12th, 2008 9:51 am ET

Marty: I WOULD! Unfortunately I can not. I am Swiss. Obama is the most fascinating person I ever heard of. He will be a great president.
He, and only he, could repair the American's bad reputation araound the world….

*********************************************************************************************************************************************

Another reason to vote for McCain. People who are so worried about what others think and then act a certain way to be liked is called a FLAKE!!!! That is what the US would be doing if the straw man AKA Obama wins. We made it through one Carter and will make it through this one if he wins. There is always a up side to things. This one being the the Red States will take back the Congress in mid-terms.

I'm still campaigning for Hillary!!!! In the hopes that Obama will drop out once he finally realize he's not qualified for the job. His supporters would understand. Go Hillary!!!!

"How fitting! An empty chair to represent an empty suit (Obama) giving empty promises."

Wow, now I see how Bush got elected twice. You're actually applauding a blatantly puerile gimmick. I always wondered whom this kind of grandstanding was aimed at. Thanks.

I was hoping we saw the last of "kitchen sink politics" when Hillary "suspended" her campaign. But I guess I'm just naive !!……..and by the way……you know she is still hoping for an Act of God to make her president !!!!!!

What a shame and disgrace to AMERICA…….Hussein [OSAMA]…………..Sorry I mean [OBAMA].GOD please take care of America.

I hope that his new webpage will convince some people that most of these weird lies are not true. But I think that the ones who do believe them, actually want to believe it. They likely wouldn't listen to the truth.

I find it fascinating that some posters taunt the other readers and posters with threats to vote for McCain or not vote at all. They sound like little children when they say 'just wait and see what happens when we vote for McCain or don't vote at all'.

Their comments are so ridiculous; who should wait and see? They will be the ones who suffer. Most likely they live their lives with this kind of childish attitudes. Do they really believe themselves to be so important?

Chris, the website is designed especially for people like you. Go read it.

NO, Obama is showing his leadership making a point that he will not be led around by someone calling the shots you idiots who think Obama is ducking a series of Town Hall meetings!! Barack can debate circles around McCain and he will when he feels the time is right. Right now he is getting his presidential campaign together and will not be side tracked by Mccain's antics and ploys to detract him. Mccain has had all this time to gear up. Now it's Obama's turn. When he does I feel really bad for old man Mccain….

OBAMA 08!!!

I hope that everyone realizes that a lot of the garbage posts you see in these comment sections are orchestrated to create confusion and doubts ala swiftboat style. A lot of the so-called Hillary supporters too are probably really GOP-based.

But do not despair, as the polls show, despite the vile efforts of the mischief-makers, Barack Obama's lead over McCain is actually growing.

I guess the only thing left for the mischief-makers to do now is to cry in their beer "oh woe is me"! As Mr. T might say, "I pity the fools."

I am astonished at the level of tech sophistication of the Obama camp.

Initially Obama used the internet to collect record donations. Now he is using it to combat racism in America.

WOW!

NO YOU CAN'T (say anything bad about Obama) !

HEY JUDY!

The media DOES dispell the dumb rumors.

Your point? lol

This is great! Obama's detractors can't seem to deal in facts…that leaves them nothing but the rumor mill.

Gobama

His relationships with hate mongers such as Farrakhan and Wright, which have all been true facts is what makes me not vote for this man. The fact that he called his grandmother a "TYPICAL WHITE PERSON that had made racist remarks that made him cringe…" in his so called GREAT SPEECH should show everyone that he thinks all whites are racist. Can you even imagine John McCain or Hillary Clinton saying somebody was a "TYPICAL BLACK PERSON" now that would have been a uproar and they would have had to apologize if not stepped down. This is all FACT and that is why this LIFELONG DEMOCRAT with his family and many friends will look else where this fall in the election. Now lets see if CNN will print this since they are wanting all the polls to show how well Obama is doing since Hillary stepped down.

This is about more than Roe vs. Wade. Obama has been endorsed by Planned Parenthood. While McCain has consistently voted against women's issues such as affordable health insurance for our children, equal pay for women, making birth control part of employee health care benefits and cancer screenings for low income women. Someone give me a reasonable explanation for why any woman in her right mind would vote for this man? You're a liar if you say you are supporting Hillary by voting for a man who is against everything she stands for.

Dream on CNN–as if Obama is above "smearing". He just doesn't want any more of his radical past to surface–and will think up excuses to throw them under the train –Join grandma, Wright, the Priest,Johnson, Rezko, Sinclair Ayers, Trinity and who knows how many others. Everyone but his deserter dad. He is so busy trying to cover up his past–he can't campaign on issues–just tries to smear Mr McCain.

All you republicans really don’t know a thing. You complain about the current economic situation, and then vote to have it continue. Quit your complaining and Grow Up! You are the people who got us here by voting for Bush, and all you so called democrats who say you wont vote for Obama if Hillary doesn’t win the nom..you are truely idiots! If you think McCain is going to offer you a better life in the next 4 years of the same..then you dont deserve to be and are NOT true Democrats!
Hillary and Obama are so similar on the IMPORTANT issues, that it really doesnt matter which one wins, as long as a Democrat wins.
You people need to THINK about the long term..and if you're pissed off that Hillary wont be the DN..too bad! Suck it up and be a REAL DEMOCRAT! Be loyal to your party..but voting for McCain is just stupidest thing you people could ever do. Then you deserve what you get if he wins…which will be not only recession, but most likely a depression. The war that never ends, gas prices over 10.00 gal, good luck getting any equity out of your homes. No good healthcare, and no SSI, and he'll probably enforce the draft, so say goodbye to your sons and daughters, because with this war going on forever, he will need more in the military.
GOD help us all!

OBAMA 08!!

POOR OBAMA. HOPE HE DOES NOT HAVE TO CRY TOO MUCH. IT IS WHAT I CALL EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY AND HIS TIME WILL COME. THE LIES AND HATE AGAINST HILLARY THAT HE AND HIS SUPPORTERS DID WILL COME BACK TO HAUNT THEM..

I don't get why so many people insist on including Obama's middle name when they reference him, like they're trying to insinuate that his middle name is proof that he's hiding some dark side of himself. By that logic, it's obvious then that people who who are named Charles are all psychotics, since they share the same name as Charles Manson.

Chris,

You sir are a liar! I have read his books and they said none of that. I think people like you saw the headline and decided to spam the blog with new rumors just for fun.

Michelle:

If you actually went to the page you would see that Obama has a copy of his birth certificate there to dispel that rumor.

Come on people is this the best hate you can come up with? Please at least put some plausible thought into your rumors before putting this stupid stuff up here.

I feel sorry for those Clintonites, Floridians and Michiganians that still hold grudges and swear they will sit home on jump to Mcsame train in November. Another Republican win will definte make them cry in the dark for another 8 years.

Vote Bush /Mcsame If you like.

Barack and Michele Obama should grow up. Barack is running for President and America cannot afford a President who will deal with personal issues before America's issues. Barack should direct the budget for tracking down rumours to a more useful project that will boost the economy.
Barack and Michele are rookies who need to prove something to themselves and to the public. This is the reason why Hillary Clinton would have made an excellent Democratic nominee against McCain. Hillary has been there, done it and she will be able to focus on resolutions and the real issues. Hillary truly loves her country and has displayed unselfishness despite the fact that the media and her colleagues treated her unfairly.
Hillary, we know you will rise again and this time as a better candidate and more love for your country. God bless you.

NickNas, I thought it was just me…………………

Who cares what religion he is anyway, you stupid bigots.
What makes any of you any better? I was raised Protestant and I realize that I live in 2008 and don't give a sh1t what another persons religion is. Religion is ancient hold-over that has no place in modern society anyway when used to justify attacks against fellow persons. What happened to "judge not lest ye be judged"??? Primative times and primative people wrote the bible, not God. I believe in a God but NOT the biblical interpretation.

And to all you HILLARY SUPPORTERS FOR MCCAIN! LOFL! Sorry the polls show you have NO IMPACT! Obama's numbers stand for themselves. Besides WHY would you vote for someone that Hillary herself denounces? You are pathetic.

I'm glad Obama's campaign will work to disprove the b.s. before it gains any real strength. So many of Hillary's sheep are still holding on to the hope fo the whole Larry Sinclair thing even though he failed polygraphs and said he had no real proof. They keep coming up with a new date where all will be told. It's dumb and beyond belief that someone would still believ that crap. Also, it saddens me that Sen. Obama's family is now having to endure the blatant racism of the right wing. His daughters are being referred to as nappy headed hos. His wife is being referred to as his babymama. And it's the MSM that's doing it at this point. Unconscionable acts of unforgivable, inexcusable bigotry that should have died a long time ago right along with Jim Crow. But the one thing this election season has done is pull the white sheets out of many Americans' closets and pull the wool out of many other Americans' eyes. And the world is indeed watching. The Republican nominee gets carte blanche to use a known racial slur against Asians because he was imprisoned by Asians. So if he had been captured and imprisoned by Africans, would it be acceptable for him to use the n-word? Publicly? I'm pretty sure he uses it out of camera range. Obama's new website is a necessity and I'm glad they have it.

Europe wants Obama for President.

Bush politics failed and McCain is a joke.

Go Obama!!!

I think it is frightening - he has teams hunting down on the blogs comments. sounds like the voter fraud deal - now we are threatening people for free speech.

Teresita~
