In fact, it would surprise me if the AJC doesn't have a member of it’s paparazzi, I mean editor staff along with Obama too.... Has anyone seen Ms. Tucker lately? All further proof that America’s major networks and media outlets no longer represent the diverse thought of Americans.

What is McCain's plan to get us out??? Since he is so experienced, why hasn't he been more specific on how to 'win' as he puts it?? What does success mean and when do you know you are closer to it?? It's not just based on the fact that violence is down!!! That's my question too.... What is McCain's plan to get us out???

The LEFT wing media is in love with Obama. They loved him more that Hillary and it showed. Now they are showing their true colors again. In an article dated today, it showed that Obama is getting 66% of the news coverage while McCain is only getting 33%. Where is the FAIR and BALANCED coverage the media is "supposed" to give its audience?? The answer: there is none, the media loves Obama. Par for the course.

This is not an issue of "free speech" or "censorship". McCain has the right to say whatever he wants to say, but he doesn't have the right to have an op-ed printed in the NY Times. Privately owned media sources have the right to set standards, and in this case, the editor is doing what an editor commonly does. Of course, none of this will matter to the crowd who constantly advance the "left-wing media bias" trope. It does, however, have the advantage of being the truth. Let's be clear.

He can't remember what he voted for on Viagra for men and birth control pill for women. His votes were yes and no correspondingly. He doesn't know history nor geography. Czechoslovakia has ceased to exist since 1993, Iraq and Pakistan has no border. He flip flop on immigration, taxes and Evangelical friends. Wesley Clark was absolutely right to remind us that being a prisoner of war does not make him qualified to be commander in chief. All the Republicans can do is complain, tear down and make false accusations. The result of 7-1/5 yrs of Republican administration will cause this country thirty years of misery.
