If we gave the western fifth of the United States to Native Americans to have their own state, would that be unjust? Everyone else could live there but most would have to leave so that Native Americans would always be the majority. The state would be defined as a Native American state so that other people would have rights, but could not participate in the national identity. They should have the right to their own state since they were the victims of genocide and forced relocation, just like Jews were. If you don't support the above, then you shouldn't support the founding of Israel.

No wonder America is going down the tubes the news medias are complicit out of fear of losing their corporate sponsors. Remember being cheer leaders for the Iraq invasion and now slamming Obama with anything they feel will benefit McCain. Shameful and disgusting antics from the comedy channel.

...hmmm, tell everyone, did Obama offer to turn water into kool aid and make bread out of a rock or something..!!?. According to his supporters, he's our savior that has all the answers where others in the past 60 or 70 years have failed. Remarkable.
We all can't wait to find out what this guy, who can't even unite his own party, pulls out of the air the solutions to unite us ALL!!

Hillary Backer for McCain July 24th, 2008 11:29 am ET

Hillary is loved and praised wherever she goes. She is so masterful in global diplomacy from her years of experience at the Whitehouse and Senate. She was robbed of her right to be President. Dark forces stole it from her.

To those who post in complaint that the media covers any one candidate more favorably than another, I suggest you consider the possibility that the candidate receiving such favorable coverage ACTUALLY IS MORE FAVORABLE than the other. I know it may be hard to fathom, but some people are better than others and handle themselves more appropriately, with more decency and in a more stately fashion than others. In fact, you should be suspicious of any news outlet that could find the exact same amount of dirt, mistakes, flaws, achievements, accomplishments, praiseworthy acts, between two totally separate and distinct politicians. True journalism reports the facts. It is absolutely possible that one person's facts can come out better than anothers.

The history of Jerusalem is extremely complicated. First, there were the Jews. Then came the Romans. Next, come the Muslims. Then, the British and French. And whoever decided that the land should again belong to the Jews. Men trying to rewrite history, and then others using the name of God to say that's theirs.

yeah, well, he needs heckeld. I am going to hecle him when he comes around my town again. I want to know more about this domestic security force he talked about in Fort Collins, CO last month. he claims he would want it to be civilian and it would be as large as the military with a like budget. Well, hello, the military is 500,000 strong with a $439 billion budget. Wehre is this money going to come from? And are we talking about spying on people as part of this force (looks too much like the Hitler Youth). Sounds like more population control. So we'll probably be arrested for talking about the Constitution because we are whacos if we do. And i find it interesting that quotes from him like this are swept under the rug by MSM.

Did Obama say Jerusalem for sale if he become president?

Further, 90% of the Israelis never born in Israel, but 99% Palestinians born in Palestine.

As usual CNN never publish the truths!

Do they have freedom of speech there? Even if they don't its the one guy's perogative to do so. At least it was 4, 5 or more like at one of Senator McCain's speeches as shown on CNN.

Neither was America but it didn't stop McSame- Bush and Cheney.. They sold us out every chance they got. Obama is repairing damage in one trip that Bush or Mccain couldn't over 4 years. Obama trip has restored faith in America abroad. You don't have to admitit The foreigners are telling. Don't choke or bit your tongue.

Was the heckler a Palestinian? That would make sense. Every Presidential candidate has confirmed Israel's "right to exist" but haven't said much on a Palestinian state. A stateless people, with no home, few allies, huddled in a cramped city with walls on all sides. Of all people, those of Jewish decent should be able to relate...

I'm pretty sure my comment will be erased again, but it is not just one person, but many people in Israel mistrust Obama. He was always pro-palestinian and just recently changed his position to appeal to the Jewish voters.

One heckler? How bout McCains really crappy speeches and his
ignorance of international affairs?
CNN is becomming irrelevant – out of touch with mainstream
America. Read the blogs – there 3 to 1 for the Dems.
CNN please please give McCain the same type of critical coverage that you give Obama, theres plenty of bad news there- or is CNN terrified of being labeled LIBERAL?
Obama by a landslide!

Those people who wrote "one man heckled Obama..." or "one heckler... big deal" don't seem to understand the point of the story. The story is NOT about one man heckling Obama. Rather the story is about Obama's inability to stick to one position on Jerusalem as to whether it should remain the capital and undivided or not. The heckler in the story is just used to highlight the apparent inequities of Obama's statements over the last few months.

I must say, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot or Hitler would have been proud to have some of you in their service. In addition to your unquestioning Obama-love, you virulently wish to deny Mr. McCain a voice in this election. Along with childish name calling, many of you want him to "shut up" or "go away", and were unbelievably glad when he was denied by the NYT. The People DESERVE to get the full explanation of both candidate's positions without slander, exaggeration and hyperbole. The best ideas will STAND ON THEIR OWN MERITS.

Dark Forces?? Seriously? Hillary is loved wherever she– WHAT ARE YOU BABBLING ABOUT? Hillary is one of the most contentious and divisive people in America right now. And seriously, if you PUMA people are going to vote for Pro-War, Anti-Choice McCain just to spite Obama, by all means go do it... and shut the hell up. No one cares. Remember it isn't Obama you'll be punishing, it's yourselves and your kids. America will get the president she deserves.

And why is this story called "News"?? The News is canceled.

Wait...ONE HECKLER is a news story?

Man, you guys at CNN are really taking McCain's tired little "the media hates me" thing to heart, huh?

This is really a reach.

Pathetic.
