Its so easy to do with days left and no time for people to call you on it. Its the same thing that happened with swift boat, which we found out was paid off by Bush but only after the election was over. Now you're just making things up.

He gave the guy almost 450.00 in funding.... this ticket is not even smart or competent enough to pull off McCarthy like lies and accusations.

Every other news organization covering this story included it when they covered it. I thought you were fair and unbiased!!!! If you are going to feature a story, tell us everything and then let the reader decide. McCain is desperate, causing a racial divide, and running a negative campaign. I hope on November 5th, after Obama wins, he finds himself again. He is certainly not the same John McCain we knew in 2008.

Whatever that truth is? There may not be anything but some people having dinner at a party. Then again the tape may show alot of off color jokes at the jewish peoples expense with Barack laughing. None of which is the point. The point that is being missed is all too often when someon looks into Barack's past the door gets slammed shut by whomever. Does noone on this board see an issue with that? I didn't know we wanted to live in a communist state. Listen, Noone seems to understand that suppression of the truth is the problem.
