NEW PORT RICHEY, Florida (CNN) - With a smiling Gov. Charlie Crist at her side, Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin kicked off a three-city bus tour of central Florida on Saturday by focusing on the financial concerns of the nearly three million Floridians over the age of 65.
Palin promised that she and John McCain will “keep our defining commitments to our senior citizens.” But she wasted little time on the Republican agenda and turned her sights, as usual, on Barack Obama, who has accused McCain of wanting to cut Medicare funding and place Social Security benefits in the stock market.
“Barack Obama goes around promising a new kind of politics,” she said, “but then he comes here to Florida and he tries to exploit the fears and the worries about Social Security and Medicare to our retirees and that is the oldest and cheapest kind of politics there is. And enough is enough of that.”
Palin added that Obama favors a government takeover of health care, an accusation that drew boos from the audience.
Referencing New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, who said this week that Obama’s tax cuts would only go to those making under $120,000, Palin called the Democratic tax plan “so phony” and said she was thankful that “it’s starting to unravel” and that “the light is being shown on his tax plan.”
According to the Obama campaign, Richardson meant to say that people making under $250,000 won’t see their taxes increase.
Palin also repeated a debunked claim that “according to an independent analysis, our opponent’s new policies will destroy nearly six million jobs over the next decade.”
That analysis was actually conducted by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, which concluded in a recent report that “total employment” would fall an average of 589,000 a year under Obama's tax plan.
According to Heritage, that number represents the number of jobs that would exist over a ten year period, compared to the potential number of jobs that would exist under current tax law. The study itself says that while McCain’s plan would create more jobs, the number of jobs in the country would grow under either candidate.
As Palin wound down her remarks, a group in the rear of the audience began a noisy chant of "John McCain! Not Hussein!" - but the governor did not appear to hear or acknowledge them.


Can we just send her back to Uncle Ted? Let them secede. We'll be better off.
great. now shes down there lying to old people.
Palin is a fraud – plain and simple.
Of course she didn't acknowledge the bigots in the back – they were planted by the RNC to incite hate, fear, racism, and division. Everything the McCain camp intends.
I voted early for the guys that will protect my constitutional rights to own guns and read my bible.
Thanks but no thanks, you power-abusing, unethical ditz.
Obama/Biden '08
Don't fergit to tell 'em this, Mrs. Clampett...er...Palin:
The report states: "I find that Governor Sarah Palin Abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act.”
Seniors don't like cheaters...
--palin= liar
--palin=divider
--palin=power abuser
--palin=anti women
--palin=power hungery
and the list goes on and on...
I hope she spoke loud enough because some seniors have hearing problems and it would be a crying shame if every word she said fell on deaf ears!!
How could you live that long and not see right through that fraud? I can't imagine any senior citizen being drawn to that hatemonger.
I think America needs to do away with social security and let people invest their own money in the stock market just like George Bush suggested years ago. Its just one more socialist program that needs to be cut. Actualy we need to do away with government all togather and let the markets decide what best fits the needs of Americans.
Only 3 more days and we can send this smart mouthed, dim witted, power abusing, ignorant, arrogant clown back to her igloo!! What a complete and total joke! I am not sure what is worse? Her or the 35% of the people who think she is a good pick?? GREAT choice McBush!
"But she wasted little time on the Republican agenda and turned her sights, as usual, on Barack Obama"
This is what is wrong with the Palin/McCain ticket. They have nothing to offer other than a warmed over Bush plan so they always spend most of their time talking about Barack.
Palin/McCain – The choice of the timid and scared
She said she would release her medical records last week, when is the media going to do their job and get them? She is hiding her mental illness as well as not being Trig's real mom. I should know I work at Mat-Su Hospital.
She was addressing seniors.
Her comment that Obama favors government takeover of healthcare was greeted with boos.
These are seniors.
Who get their healthcare from the government in the form of medicare.
Head.
Explodes.
Palin can not tell people what she intends to do without talking about Obama. What a looser!
With 3 days left until election, why hasn't Sarah released her medical records? During her last interview on the 23rd, she said she'd make them public. 9 days later, still no records?? What is she hiding?? More lies!
only Richard Nixon told more lies than my gal, Sarah.
Gov. Palin you need to come clean, remember one thing you point your finger at someone and three fingers pointing at you. You used Alaskan taxpayers money for your personal uses. You had your own workers to commit criminal acts in the Troopergate.
Obama has never went after you nor has Biden that was mean spirit. You said he pals around with domestic terrorist, what about AIP?
You scare me alot and if you are VP, you are a heartbeat away from the Presidency.
Plaease vote for Obama/Biden08/12
Does this woman even know what the word "phony" means? In the dictionary you would find a synonym for phony is palin.
Hey Maverick ..... WHERE are your medical records ?
WHY are Palin's medical records not made public?
She has less then a week ....................... and still no record hhmmm
I am so sick of her. Her only talent is memorizing lines and then spewing them out in her condescending, shrill, annoying tone.
Go away already. People with more than 2 working brain cells don't want you.
"That analysis was actually conducted by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, which concluded in a recent report that “total employment” would fall an average of 589,000 a year under Obama's tax plan."
I gotta say, that's an improvement!! Considering were on pace losing a million jobs this year...that's a major improvement. In this pace, we're on pace on losing over 5 million jobs over the next five years!!! Now people should be afraid of that but let's not get ahead of ourselves...
anyone hoping to retire anytime soon would be stupid to vote for B.O. If you have enough money to retire, he'll take it and give it away. We do not need Robin Hood as a president.
Good to see the GOP sticking to their campaign of lies and race-baiting all the way to the bitter end.
Sure we'll keep our promises - our promises to privatize Social Security and cut back Medicare coverage.
Yew betcha.
Go away, Palin! We don't want you here!
The republican party today, at this moment, are blocking voters in Georgia.
lets vote these jerks out of office.
call the GOP offic ein Atlanta and demand an explanation.
call the mccain hotline and demand an explanation.
8 years of peanuts and 8 TRILLION dollars of debt.. good job elephants
What is complicated about a income range that doesn't see an increase or a decrease???
Only three more days left. Three more days of hearing this ignorant, unethical, lying woman. This woman still hasn't released her medical records and continues to spew lies and her memorized talking points. To see that she doesn't cease the crowds from their ignorant rants and name calling amazes me. And yet she still cannot put together a coherent sentence explaining the role of vp. *Sigh. Only three more days and she will go back to shooting moses and attending AIP meetings with her husband.
Palin does get to me. She is really a "fly in the ointment". Wouldn't it be better if she set out the plan which John McCain has for seniors then compare them with Obama's plans, and show advantages that Seniors would have under McCain? She has not got the patience and dignity to do this. her upperrmost task is to get after Obama like a bad dog. She is a virago.
Nasty, Nasty campaign can you afford four more years of this mess. After this eight years term this republican president will still have his mension and guess what? that mension is pay off for. Some of you already lose your home and some of you will. Some of you already lost your job and some of you will while the people that cause this financial mess are getting richer. The president which is partly to blame for that mess is still getting his fat pay check every week and never think one day how his bills going to pay for because you are paying for them. These republicans claim that they are conservative and religious and the democrats are not while all of them are doing the same things. What is the difference by telling abortion is wrong when you doing it behind the close doors. These are selfish republicans behavior. According to statistics abortions, divorce, gay and lesbian have almost the same proportion among church people than non church people. You need common sense leadership. We do not need selfish leadership.Can you afford to have this selfish leaders in office again.
they had tried everything and I tell you it is nasty. These republicans believe that they have not done enough damage to this country and they are trying to scare you. What is that mean now? When they say that his aunt is here illegally. If you an American you an American and I think your background, your religion, and race should not be matter.
Now that socialism, terrorism do not work they want to bring these nonsense to scare you America. The economy is issue # 1 and they had choose not to talk about and try to scare you with these nonsense. This war need to come to an end because $10 billions dollars a month can do a whole lot here in the US from job creation to education and infrastructure improvement. Our current president is a republican and they had done enough to our economy and job market.
She can lie every time she opens her mouth but Obama is being unfair when he tells the truth. Just like her not knowing that the Media has the right to call her on her negative spewings. But she tinks HER First Amendment rights are being violated. Sarah my dear our rights are being violated by having to listen to your string of out right lies and muckracking. Give us a break and keep your mouth shut.
When are the people of the rest of the US going to receive our welfare checks like the people of Alaska.
No taxes, all DEBT, vote for the elephants! 8 Trillion and counting
Isn't time to fly to Alaska and cast your vote. Your buddy Ted needs your vote.
This lunatic is using material which has already either (A) ran its course or (B) been proven to be false as a method to spew her hatred and ignorance. ALSO why can't she use Barack Obaama and John Biden's names instead of "our opponents"
this is the kind of woman who is going to work to put country first? Do you realize that this woman has no clue of what she's doing, much like her running mate John McCain? YOU ALL can help us take the trash out on Tuesday!!!!!!!!
Watch out Gov. Christ. Are you sure you want to be in attendance at these racist Palin rallies?
I hate to yell, but... CAN SOMEONE MAKE THIS WOMAN GO FAR AWAY SO WE DON'T HAVE TO HEAR HER BRAY NONSENSE ANYMORE?
Palin, you are truely a remarkable, outstanding, incredible pig with lipstick. What more can we expect from you?
Hey, what are your plans after loosing this election ? Are you going to continue with your Alaska Independence Party and be the Traitor you always were?
The opinion that Palin is completely incompetent seems to be the one thing Dems and Repubs SHARE-–can't wait til her plane LEAVES and does not return!!!
You wind her up and she can go all day just spewing hate.
Now I hope you all down in Florida are enjoying this "maverick" because you won't see much of her soon. Please don't ask her about her clothing, billing her state $60/day for sleeping in her own house, her witch doctor videos on the internet, anything regarding the Alaskan Independence Party, or the sanctions she just received for abuse of power. And for God's sake, please don't ask her if she has any specific plans to help America!!
Just keep enjoying the shows and feel free to yell back. It's just so much fun to watch!
CNN can you do us a favor and dig up all Mccain`s extended family and tell us how they live and how close mccain is to them.
Bush admin. break the law to report this internal issue to AP in the first place to help Mccain.
This can`t save mccain who was just reported to have gotten $70,000 from a foreign national.
There would be backlash against mccain if this is his October surprise
Palin wouldn't know what to do if she had to to war. She can't take care of her chidren. She should go home and take care her down sydone child. MCCAIN IS NOT THE ONLY A P.O.W. AND YOU ALL KNOW HOW MANY HAVE BEEN IN THIS WAR AND THEY GOT HURT BUT MCCAIN IS THE poor little old man that should get the President. how about the other that don't get to tell there story
She is for kids and seniors. That is great. She is more qualified than many think.
Blah Blah Blah, Obama is a socialist. Blah Blah Blah, Maverick. Blah Blah Blah, Alaska. Blah Blah Blah Shank things up. Blah Blah Blah, You Betcha. There, no need to post any more about Palin's speeches. They are all the same and I just summed it up very nicely for you.
McCain and Palin – Divided we stand.
What they have done to divide this country goes against everything our founding fathers fought and died for.
racism and ignorance rears its ugly conjioned head yet again. This beast seems to follow Palin wherevever she goes. Very telling, I think.
Sarah, pack your bags and your children. You're homeward bound. Not just to vote, but for good!
Good riddance!
If You Vote For Mccain You Will Loose Your Medicare! He Will Privatize Your Social Security And If The Stock Market Drops You Will Loose Everything! Mccain Will Tax Your Health Case For The First Time In History! A Mccain Presidency Will Be Bad For Senior Citizens And Bad For The Country!
oh please, what does brainless has to say that is important?
i find it rather offensive, this person is even inthe news, given that she has no clue of anything, that if questioned could not tell you what the capital of Iran is, or if Georgia is here or there
it appears, CNN is in love with her, all articles are about her, not the candidate,
mmm sounds strange to me,
no wonder Cindy mccain is looking awful these days,
palin jane has not only stolen the spot light for her old grumpy husband
the husband is looking at Palin differnetl, mmmm
have you all noticed that cindy is ALWAYS there when palin jane is there??
mmmmmm
lots of things going on

The people that have, and are going to ,vote for Obama are going to be so disappointed if he get's elected--You have been lied to ,we are all going to get screwed,then 4 years later we will vote him out and he gets retirement from us the rest of his life.
Obama will be the biggest political mistake you will ever make!!
Anybody that loves jobs and hates employers is an idiot-THINK !!!
Please ask Palin to address the privatization of Social Security to the very concerned citizens of Florida ... if Bush had been successful in his privatization plan, which obviously McCain supports completely, the entire Florida population would face a "depression era" situation with the stock market downturn. This once again highlights that Bush and McCain are same in their policies and lead America to further destruction.
All I can say is if the GOP embraces Palin beyond this election I may never go back. She does not represent me at all. McCain made a fatal error in his campaign by selecting her. Her extreme views will never serve all the people...
all they want is to keep this country fighting and i pray every night they just STOP with all the Hate!
I do not know why McCain/Palin is still out there. It is over. Many people, stars and media have stated that Obama has won.
.

It just might be very funny to see there faces come Wednesday. The day that will be called "USA is full of racist" Day. Keep all the mess up. That only makes more people see libs being bullies and that fear tactics will not work.
This chant shows ignorance, stupidity, and lack of intelligence. The blind leading the blind.
It's been shown time after time that 90% of Americans would get a bigger tax cut under Obama's plan than they would from McCain's. What's really "so phony" and "starting to unravel" is the tired rhetoric Palin keeps spouting. The Republicans are the ones trying to exploit people's fears and worries. But thankfully, this time it doesn't seem to be working.
If you were running job interviews or going on a job interview, would you spend the entire interview talking about why YOU are the best person for the job or would you spend the time trying to convince them of all the reasons your competing candidates are bad for the job? Anyone knows if you are on an interview, if you have nothing to offer you try to bring down the competition.
How sad that this woman is even taken seriously by the voters is a testament to the level of collectice ignorance among so many people in theUnited States, it only shows the world how backwards the populace is in this country.
McCain's helathcare "plan" sucks!!!!!!
Signed,
healthcare professional
http://taxcut.barackobama.com/ Here you go sarah, a website just for you!! put in your 200,000 income you showed last yesar and you get $500 more dollars this year than you did under bush. Maybe you should think about changing you vote to Obama.
oh my goodness..waht I want to read more about, is MCCAINS BLACK DAUGHTER AND OTHER BLACK RELATIVES, AND PALINS MEDICAL RECORDS AND OTHER CHARGES AGAINST HER IN ALASKA, AND IF FAMILY IS NO LONGER OFF LIMITS, TELL US MORE ABOUT CINDY AND HER DRUG HABITS..
Voted OBAMA already in TEXAS because I DONT BELIEVE THE LIES AND FILTH NOW BEING GENERATED AGAINST OBAMA !
Sarah Palin is the real deal. No wonder liberals are terrified of her. She is going to carry McCain over the finish line herself. DemocRats are starting to wet their pants as they realize its all slipping away.
I hate Palin...she makes me sick!
She's a Whack Job. I'm so ready for this to be over. We need to be focusing on my pressing issues, like who's going to be the new Mariner's coach.
For all you undecided voters: this is the same ole rhetoric that has been heard from McCain/Palin. Consider the source and then remember this: Palin does not have the backing from some of those previous senior officials and diplomats that McCain has stated are supporting him. They have stated that she is unqualified to hold the position of Vice President. So if you vote McCain, you vote for Palin and she has been called out for her lack of qualifications by the same people who have been in the White House in some form or capacity in the previous administrations. So who do you believe? Just think about it. McCain is a man who could be the President, but, he is aging and has health issues that could compromise his administration if he were elected. And then who takes over? Palin? Now that's a scary thought and Halloween is already over. And its still a scary thought. People – like McCain said, "PUT COUNTRY FIRST". Vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Let's play it safe and do the right thing.
I'M A KENYAN.........This country is doomed because of stupid thinking white trash. Decent whites foward thinking will not pay attention to this god******m trash and will vote the issues not stupid trash. So many LEGAL IMMIGRANTS here including myself are working hard, paying BILLIONS in TAXES and social security which we will leave in the govermnments purse because someone who retires in another country except the U.S and Cananda isn't entitled to social security.
Chew on that.
Since Palin has more "executive experience" than McCain,
shouldn't she be at the top of the ticket?
John from IL
Can't wait to see this moron shipped back to Alaska. Hopefully to be censured or impeached for her utter corruption.
Did Palin happen to Mention how Mccain is going to cut Medicare?
Palin is pathatic, she is bringing down McCain's campaign in more way than just being brainless. Of course she would not say anything about that type of chanting or pretend not to hear it because all she stands for is hate. The party that is suppose to be christians has the most hate in their heart. How can you pretend to be a christian and run a campaign full of so much hate towards your fellow human being. It is written in the bible "love you neighbour as you love yourself" I guess the GOP ripped those pages out of their bibles.
Obama supporters get out the VOTE! Send Palin packing back to Alaska.
There yah go- McCain's plan will create more jobs.
My outlook is that both of them are throwing blind darts when it comes to the economy. For me it boils down to McCain being a hothead and Obama being able to be calm under pressure. Sorry McCain for all your experience I don't trust you, and if you're not Bush why didn't YOU run against him in '04?
lies and hate: the republican party.
buh-bye, GOP.
I am truly ashamed at this country sometimes. We are supposed to represent the "Melting Pot" and it makes me want to throw up when I hear about stories like this.
It wouldn't surprise me if Palin was a closet racist; she doesn't seem to do anything about comments like that.
The article states that Palin was speaking to Seniors and "Palin added that Obama favors a government takeover of health care, an accusation that drew boos from the audience."
Isn't medicare a government run health care? Would this be a change for Seniors?
She never "appears" to hear the chants. What away to continue to separate the country.
Of course she didn't notice the chants, her tunnel vision doesn't see obvious hatred and racism...
This woman is so divisive. The type of anger and hate she stirs up is frightening. God forbid something should happen to Senator Obama, but if it did, Sarah Palin should be tried as a conspirator.
There's nothing left to comment about on this lady....
How come this is the first time Palin or McCain have made a promise specifically to seniors? Pandering at its finest.
I am an engineer who has been involved in alternative energy technologies for over twenty years. Since when does being the Governor of an oil-producing state make them an expert on energy?
Please do not think for a second that drilling for oil somehow gives someone knowledge on energy technology expertise, especially alternative energy.
It is an insult, I repeat, an insult to remotely suggest that Palin is an expert on energy.
She really hears only what she wants to hear!
Palin is dumb as dirt and expects that us seniors will be also. We ALL know that John McCain wants to cuts medicare (he says the fraud part) but we really know he wants to cut some benefits. He also has said in the past that he wants to cut some benefits of social security – he wants to lower our payouts. We can barely make it on what we get as it is!
Obama is the only one who is looking out for OUR interests.
Palin chose not to hear the Hussein chants because she has been encouraging bigotry all along and apparently feels that the smear strategy is the only one that really will get her elected.
My goodness! What a clever insight! And, from one of the great minds of our time! I shall have to write this down so I do not forget it. Will our Sarah be remembered for how smart he is or how honest she is? I just hope everyone, like me, is voting for Mr. Obama so Ms. Palin can take her smart and honest self back to the far north...
Typical...accuse opponent (Obama) of false claims and in the same breath make false claims of your own.
Contrary to Palins beief...the job of the vice president is to be ready to be president. She's definately not ready...
Voting for McCain would be a dangerous thing.
"she wasted little time on the Republican agenda"
Palin doesn't believe in the Republican agenda, so why should voters?
Is this what American leadership should look like? Remember, people, politicians govern the same way they campaign, and McCain campaigns exactly the same way Bush did.
There, there you go Palin, attack, attack, attack, lies, lies lies. What about you, how come you don't want to release your medical records, election day is Monday. How about your husband's relationship with AIP?
Scary Palin is still talking....no one is listening to her.
Go home to Alaska, and please do not come back!
Scary Palin will go down in history as the biggest moron next to Bush!
She has no credibility. I don't believe anything she says.
wow,
So Palin proudly gives "facts" that have been proved by several sources to be false then her devoted floowers start to chant inflamatory remarks that insinuate ties to terrorists, also basless.
It says alot when a candadate and their followers are so proud to be ignorant.
...but Palin did not appear to hear or acknowledge them
Hmmmm... I believe that she heard it and that operatives inside the McCain camp are intentionally encouraging this type of behavior. Now who is trying to "scare seniors?"
I still don't hear anything from the McShame campaign except for bad-mouthing of Obama. I hear no solutions for the economy. Just mudslinging. It is sickening.
Okay she still telling fibs about job cuts! Then her crowd goea and says that and she doesnt even say a word. She is a pethetic human and I cant wait till she is back on her broom headed back to Alaska. Maybe she can take Sen. Dole with her. The problem her is she needs to stop racist comments at here rallies. Apparnetly everyone and she says nothing as usuall. Simply deplorable of this so called woman!
Oh she heard them – loud and clear, and probably had them planted there. I voted today – stood in a very long line to do so. NC is energized for Obama!!! I will really be suprised if NC does not take OBAMA to the top. All down 95 from northern NC to SC were Obama signs in yards. GO OBAMA!!!
FL, don't let the Rebuplicans still your voice!!! VOTE!
When it comes to tax policies of Sen. Obama, who knows what tax mine field one's going to step on. After all money has to be generated for all the free stuff he promised during the campaign; where does the money come from?
Other issue is the so-called windfall taxes on oil companies. It's absurd to be saying successful enterprises doing normal business would be punished for being successful.
After all, many people have stocks of successful companies, so what it translate to is, if your stock has good value, Sen. Obama vows to bring them down. And then you also pay capital gain tax, and on and on. The bottom line is, should Sen. Obama become the President, the personal economics paradigm changes; “Fair is foul and foul is fair in terms of your good earnings and bad earnings”
What if Exxon-Mobil announced a $10 Billion loss this quarter, and planned to cut thousands of jobs. Obama has plans to give them back something?
this moron palin is a terrorist
If Palin were truly a good person or a Christian, as she claims, she would quickly ask her audience to stop hate-mongering, ethno-centric chants. Any rational person, with reasonable intelligence, would probably agree that using Senator Obama's middle name disparagingly (which is obviously the case here) is an explicit sign of ethnocentrism and implicit of racism. Neither of these should be welcome in America. These evils must one day be abolished, or the American vision of our forefathers will be gone. Shame, shame on Sarah Palin! Obama/Biden 08!!
I find it to be appalling the kind of hate that is expressed at all of Sarah Palin's rallies. She claims to be a Christian, yet seems to encourage this "lynch mob" mentality.
The McCain Palin ticket is really frightening.....
Facism will come to America and she will be draped in the flag and carrying a cross
I'll be so glad when Shrill-zilla goes back tpo Ak!
Her supporters chant "John McCain! Not HHussein!". No divisiveness there.Send this woman back to Alaska so she can pay her back taxes. We need to look toward the future of working together. People like Palin do not, and will never have the same morals as I. Vote for your children's future
just shows again the ignorance of the hate-filled fear mongering 'disciples' of the McCain campaign...
This ticket has driven racism 20 years back....
Praying the final outcome will send it 20 years ahead...
Obama/Biden
this woman is aliar
SAME SPIRITS DRAW ONE ANOTHER, SO BIAS PEOPLE DRAW NEAR HER, SHE NEEDS TO TAKE THAT BACK TO ALASKA, THESE TYPES OF THINGS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE SHE GOT HERE
Michelle Obama's wardrobe since June has been paid by the Obama campaign.
Didnt they just make a movie about W? Maybe nobody went to see it.
of course she didnt appear to hear or acknowledge them... its all an act. she acts dumb on purpose when it comes to smearing...trying to act all innocent.
mcain/palin = dishonerable, disrespectful, desperate and pathetic
Palin and joe the plumber 2012.
Let's NOT vote for Mccain to make this happen
Palin is mindlessly encouraging dangerous hatred from the more minimally intelligent members of her audience.
Obama has INTEGRITY. He immediately shuts down hatred from his audiences.
Why aren't we still talking about Troopergate? This woman has no ethics. None. Zero. Nada. Zip. Now we're talking about Obama's half-aunt who he last saw 2 years ago. If we're going to get into families (distant relations in fact), let's go back to Bristol – my mama is for abstinence only education – unwed, teenage mother to be. I find it absolutely mind-boggling that no one cares that Palin believes the best course of action for these two is to drop out of high school and get married! This woman is white-trash personified!
Gov. Palin-nothing is unraveling about Obama's plan. I look forward to Tuesday. We can get this behind us and move on as a nation.
Vote for Change! Obama-Biden!
Glad to see that Obama can count on CNN to explain away anything Palin says that might show Obama in a bad light. I can't remember seeing them debunk anything about Obama. I guess CNN thinks he's just perfect, so therefore he couldn't say anything that was true.
As this is gong to be "reviewed" by CNN before posting, I also guess it will never see the light of day. After all, we know what "Deemed Appropriate" means to CNN (GO OBAMA!).
This woman continues to repeat the same tired lies hoping that people will believe her.
The sad part is some fools still do.
She incites violence and hatred, encouraging people that they are "more American" (indicating that those who don't support her are somehow not American enough), and not directly and strongly speaking out against those who call Obama "terrorist" and racial slurs and to "kill him".
The woman is a nightmare... god save us from her followers.
yes, i'm pretty sure Palin heard the "Hussein"
chants and did or said nothing about them. I'm just so sick of this her "playing deaf" to issues said in her campaigns. By the way, Palin promised to release her medical records. Why has she not done so till today? She's sleak, a pure liar and a smear. Gimme a break!
By the way, i'm actually preparing to go cast my early vote and i will be voting for Obama/Biden.
A hundred and twenty, two hundred and fifty... yeah I can see how Richardson could have messed that up. But hey, Obama said it was a mistake, let's just take his word for it and move on without any further probing.
So? Why are you trying to make this an issue, CNN? After pushing the Ashley Todd hoax and publishing the nonstory about Obama's aunt, don't you think your McCain bias is becoming a little too obvious?
Your job is to inform the electorate, not INFLUENCE it to avoid corporate tax hikes.
You all are corrupt. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Palin hears it , incourages it / shelives and breaths lies ,negative ,hate, ,warmongering .all low road .
On a closed site on here you call this news ? Since when would anyone be responsible for what others do yet you single out Obama as being responsible for some off connected relative of his biological Father and he saw this biological Father for (1) ONE MONTH in his life.
But you never print Cindy McCain that grew up knowing 2 half sisters and Cindy taking whole hog the millions left by their parents .
What a terrible sound and accent she has.
And what if she becomes President of the USA.?
The world would think she is a joke like the
drunk Jeltsin was.
Glad to see that Obama can count on CNN to explain away anything Palin says that might show Obama in a bad light. I can't remember seeing them debunk anything about Obama. I guess CNN thinks he's just perfect, so therefore he couldn't say anything that wasn't true.

All the Grand Wizard, David Duke in drag knows is how to lie and since she cannot read, she does not seem compelled to read the FACTS. Someone just pulls her string and out come incoherent phrases to fire up the Klan rally.
Yo’ moose(my heartfelt apologies to all mooses or meese, whichever) mom, with you being found guilty of abuse of power for trooper gate, and your mentor Stevens from whom you obviously learned your ethics in government dealings, now has 7 felony convictions under his belt, it is revealed today, that there has been another ethics violation charge filed against you. Seems the Alaskan taxpayers are a bit peeved that you spent 21K of their tax dollars flying the kiddo’s around the country on their dime, especially, now that it has been revealed the kiddos were not invited and in one case, not wanted at the event. Seems that most popular governor title is also in jeopardy, latest poll shows you down to 60% from 80%, but of course, no one can take that Miss Wasilla title away from you.
So, was this whole VP gimmick worth it to you and your family?
Remember, if you lose the day job, your back to being the average Alaskan fishwife, albeit, a very well dressed one.
Which brings me to my question, just what Valentino frock does one wear to gut fish?
Obama does not favors a government takeover of health care. People that like their current insurance can keep theirs as is. Government will try to negotiate a lower cost insurance, which will cover pre-existing condition for people can't afford insurance now. Obama has stated this numerous times and it is also clearly stated on his web site. Palin really has comprehension problem.
Sarah Palin is just a big idoit, beause when McCain loses she will be thrown right under the bus ,where his camping been for the last 2 months.
all mccain and palin do is spread fear and hate
Desperation and blatant racism are hallmarks of a Palin rally, and this is one reason why she is dragging the ticket down.
SKANK 1111
She heard the chants alright; Its all over in a few days, this wont be close. Palin have fun back in Alaska and forget 2012 you wont stand a chance. McCain you lost all kinds of respect for the campaign you ran. IF you have any doubts on how people feel about you and the campaign.. Look at Arizona.
McCain/Pailin: Keep feeding the beast. When you don't deliver, your rabid supporters will be the first to turn on you. Nothing is as easily enraged as those gullible cultists whose leaders fail them. Enjoy your reward!
Unless they stole the election from obama ,there is no way macain and that his lipstick on a pig can win this election .
Sarah like to rally hate and she just ignore it purposely. She is part of the lunatic fringe of the Republican party. Hopefully on November 4th, Mrs Palin(Bush&Cheney all in one) goes back to Alaska and continues to abuse power, spread wealth and over charge Alaska taxpayers for unauthorized trips. She needs to be impeached by the Alaska Legilature but becuase the REpugs control the state it will just be covered up..
Palin continues to allow her supporters to make outlandish and sometimes racist comments and she refuses to acknowledge the nastiness. Palin is a disgrace.
This chick does not know her butt from your nose!!!!!!!!!! Why would i listen to her...GO LEARN THE 1ST AMENDMENT THEN COME AND LECTURE US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a bunch of scumbag haters.
Obama '08
Ms. Palin, if you do not make an effort to STOP the hatred, you are just as responsible. I hope for your sake that after the election, this does not disrupt into hateful race riots due to your inability to show respect for your component.
Well sarah had no knowledge of these people in the back yelling. Sound familiar?
I hope her pantyhose match her dress or CNN will put it on headline news and run it longer than Obama's auntie story.
The Republicans reveal their lack of education both academic and religious everyday.
Lying, promoting greed, ignoring the needy. Palin even came out and said she thought it was a waste of taxpayer money to invest into genetic research. The same research that led to our understanding of Downs Syndrome.
Only a Republican would be uneducated enough to stab their own children in the back for political gain.
This dishonest woman is insufferable. I will be so happy when she is out of the daily news cycle. She'll have time to take a course in civics and perhaps read the Constitution.
Haters! Obama All Day Baby!
Hussein is just a name is that suppose to scare people? when you are a baby you do not choose how you want to name yourself this is just good sense. In America you will find different name from Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Peter, George Bush, Sammuel Alito and etc. This is a multy culture country and people from different part of the are leaving here and they name their kids accordingly. That do not make the kids bad or a terrorist; in fact they are American like all of us. We have people from Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea, Lybia, Venezuela leaving in the USA and the fact that they have roots from these country do not make them bad people.
"he tries to EXPLOIT THE FEARS and the worries about Social Security and Medicare to our retirees and that is the OLDEST and CHEAPEST kind of politics there is" (my emphasis)
does she think no one has been watching the rest of the campaign to this point? I'd say she and McCain (oh yeah, and their fountain of political knowledge, Joe the Plumber) have been using this scare tactic to the point where everyone who can think clearly is completely disgusted. There is a huge difference between raising relevant concerns about the future of social security that many people have been worried about for years, and telling people that Obama's "socialist" tax plan is essentially going to destroy the fabric of our capitalist economy. (Never mind the fact that we have been paying taxes for over 200 years, and the way in which taxes are paid has obviously been tweaked multiple times. The sky has not fallen yet, and I'm pretty sure we're still a capitalist country) Oh yeah, and the fact that he wants to explore all diplomatic options, even with foreign leaders who don't like us very much, prior to bombing the crap out of someone somehow suggests that the world's leaders and terrorist groups are going to be more likely to attack us? Some extremists are going to hate us no matter what, just because of what we stand for. But it seems to me that most people might actually like us better if we talk to them, hear what they have to say, rather than immediately trying to kill them. We might actually learn something from the discussion, and if worst comes to worst, we can always bomb the crap out of them later.
But now Sarah is going to complain that I'm violating her first amendment rights, since she thinks that amendment allows her to say completely stupid, nasty, or false things without anyone calling her out on it.
It's amazing that she hears those that chant 'drill baby drill' or something complimenting her on her looks, but she becomes deaf when they chant something vile . . . and since neither she nor McCain do anything to try to stop it, they are encouraging it.
Obama is 10 up in both the likely and traditional gallup tracking. He is 11 points up in the registered voters poll. Is that a sign of a narrowing race? Or should we take a look at the electoral map?
Who can believe Palin.........when she abuse her power she can talk the talk but can't walk the walk........now 3 days left and she is making vews where was her vews 5 week ago.........she a liar and she needs to go back to AK, where her husband was a member of a group that believe that the AK was not apart of US, She heard them that was she did not ackowledge them she want to keep the ball going..........
THIS IS 11/01/08 1:OO P.M. AND I WAS WATCHING CNN ON MY TV.
YOUR TV SYSTEM WAS SHOWING A McCAIN SPEECH THAT YOUR SYSTEM SHOWED FOR 2 1/2 MINUTES THEN THEY SAID "OUR TIME IS LIMITED BUT NOW WE HEAR A FEW WORDS FROM SEN.OBAMA. THESE "FEW WORDS" LASTED FOR 13 1/2 MINUTES. I DON'T THINK THAT 2 1/2 MINUTES VS 13 1/2 MINUTES IS FAIR AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT EQUALITY....YOUR CHANNEL IS VERY MUCH BIASIS TOWARD OBAMA CHANNEL BUT AS A PUBLIC SERVICE BUSINESS YOU SHOULD GIVE EQUAL TIME TO BOTH SIDES OF THE ELECTION. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR REPLY TO THIS LETTER.

I agree, she is a "wackjob."
Sarah Palin is digging her own political grave allowing her audiences to get away with that behavior unchecked. Just last night, my most conservative friend, a Catholic, prolife voter, told me that this was the hardest election decision she's ever had to make...she just can't tolerate the the thought of putting a woman who inspires so much hatefulness so close to the presidency.
So is the "federal law enforcement" that outed Obama's aunt the same person who outed Valerie Plame?
No matter. Since smarter people are more likely to vote, that means the ignorant ones that flock to Palin won't have the wherewithall to stand in line and vote.
She may pitch all she wants...The recent gallup poll (11-1) has Obama up with an average 10 point lead among all voters...
The McCain/Palin ticket is in dire...very dire straits !!!!
Go home, Sarah......You give a whole new meaning to the word "disgusting."
Palin and McCain condone the ignorance of their supporters.
What a lunatic!
No one could ever accuse Palin of being honest. I wonder if she told them about freezing benefits in order to balance the budget.
Ms. Palin...I am a senior and YOU represent the REPUBLICAN party. The REPUBLICAN party wants to TAKE AWAY SOCIAL SECURITY as we know it. THANKS BUT NO THANKS... We seniors don't need your help. YOU REPUBLICANS WANT TO CUT OUR MEDICAL BENEFITS. Thanks but NO THANKS. YOU REPUBLICANS want to TAX OUR SOCIAL SECURITY .. Thanks but NO THANKS... YOU REPUBLICANS are RESPONSIBLE for our SAVINGS/RETIREMENT FUNDS STOLEN BY WALL STREET... SO I SAY TO YOU ONCE AGAIN MS PALIN.................THANKS BUT NO THANKS..........
VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN
VOTE DEMOCRATS...... THEY ARE TRYING TO STEAL THE ELECTION
SO WE MUST VOTE..... DEMOCRATS..... VIRGINIA.... VOTE....OBAMA.
I pray we stand up and send Palin and Friends packing on Tuesday. I'm so hurt by the hate I've been hearing. Intolerance is alive and well is unified behind Palin.
All have been fact checked and you are so called wrong Sarah Palin.
You call yourself a christian..(than I'm ashamed to be one!) you are twisting, lying and spread hate. You and McCain are the ones who talk fear into people. Shame on you. You lack any common sense.
The whole world hear and see you. That's why we want Barack Obama to lead.
The Straight Lie Express wheels are falling off, its almost out of gas, and the rats are jumping off.
Sarah Palin is fading fast, and she knows it....
Palin and McCain condone the ignorance of their supporters at these rallies. They are feeding these hateful groups.
I'm sure Obama will give McCain a job....perhaps he can lead a committee on Post Traumtic Stress Disorder....not sure what he can do with Sarah though. Maybe she can sit in her living room and keep an eye on Russia...her fear mongering and hatred really make me sick.......
what does the last line of this article have to do with the previous portion? While I am not a McCain supporter I think it really does show the bias, even if subtle. And I think it is tacky that even though it (final sentence) is not the meat of the article it IS the thrust of the headline. I am just tired of both sides demonizing each other. CNN among other media outlets have lost all credibility with me and it concerns me b/c I should not have to search around for my own news verifying everything I read with cross checks.
Seniors who want to have to keep working and never see retirement should go ahead and listen to Failin' Palin.
CNN why you have so many article on Palin? I'm tire of seeing her and her negativity. Its like we see 10 mccain/palin article to 2 obama/biden article. the only time you guy do an article on obama is when is kind of bad. You betcha Palin heard them yallin that but she won't say anything just like how in Alaska when the Dj was talkin trash about the lady she knew
McCain/Bush and their daughter Sarah will say anything to win an election. Not this time. The Americans do not need division. Let's go to the poll on Tuesday tell the Right wing haters, not this time. Let's vote for change, bring fresh ideas to the table. Let's project a new image of America around the world.
Just a couple of more days, I can only hope we come through and elect Obama. This is one Republican who is leaving the party and going independent and this year, hell even 2012, I'll be supporting Obama. Learn your lesson GOP, it's over.
in Florida.
just wait till they hear about palin's own real anti-semitism!
can't wait for the anti-christian zionists and the anti-semitic evangelicals to go after each other's throat, LOL
She didn't respond to the Hussein chant because that's what
Caribou Barbie and McWar want to hear......2 hatemongers
GO OBAMA
I think Adam & Eve may have met Sarah in a different form in the Garden of Eden.
John McCain – Not Hussein
Pretty legit if you ask me
She continues to spread lies, inpsire the Rght -wing so-called "Christians" to behave maliciously, and act as a lightnening rod to the Ignorant.. You go girl.. you have two more days to oblivion or maybe a modeling gig bringing you a future Mrs. America title..
When Obama was in Florida recently there were a lot of senior citizens in his audiences and he did not ONCE play on anyone's fears the way Palin and McCain like to do. They are nothing but fearmongers and it makes me sad for the future of this country that children are being taught such intolerance and hatred from the likes of their supporters. For once I would like to hear a coherent sentence come from that woman's mouth and for once I would like to hear what McCain plans to do if he is elected. Instead all we hear is bashing of Obama and his supporters. It is disgusting. I will make a decision of who I will vote for by listening to what each candidate has to offer, NOT by what you think I want to hear to make me fear the other candidate. Stop the petty BS and state your case McCain, otherwise Obama gets my vote.
More smears from Palin and McCain. I wouldn't pay John and Sarah a moment of my time to listen to them. How low and childish. Barack Obama was born in Hawaii and is a Christian and is not a Muslim. Are there any more lies that Sarah Palin and John McCain care to try to fool us with?
*PLEASE POST CNN As a democrat, i am glad I casted my ballot for Mc Cain. Obama's aunt is here illegally, she has contributed to his presidential campaign, which is also illegal. what else are we going to find out about him. his connections to acorn and he lied about that. what else? come on americans, wake up before it is too late. OBAMA IS TOO RISKY FOR THE USA.
Here's a question:
Where are Sarah Palin's medical records that were promised to us last week by both her and her campaign staff?
What is she hiding?
Fear is the central virtue of the right. She's a pile of doggie doo lies. I know you won't post this, but it's so true.
Just sad once again. But that is ok. keep spreading the fear and hate because it just makes me get on my computer and give Obama MORE MONEY!
It continues to amaze me how hypocritical the McCain/Palin ticket is. While both sides are guilty of misrepresentation, it would seem that to accuse Obama of doing what she herself was in the middle of doing is beyond the pale.
I've no doubt that should the GOP win the presidential election, they will again claim they have a mandate from the people even though they have waged a completely divisive campaign and have worked to tear apart the US as no other campaign has done.
I truly fear for the US under another 4 years of GOP leadership and sincerely hope that even if Obama doesn't win, the Dems will have the 60 seats they need in the Senate so that McCain/Palin will be unable to completely destroy this country.
I think it's more McCain and Palin that are unravelling.
This woman has alot of nerve accusing the Obama campaign of using cheap politics.That is all the GOP has had to offer since this shrew was added to the ticket.Fear,fear and division with no substantive policy to state how they are going to right a badly listing
ship.The job of the next President is goung to a long and arduous one
and is going to need co-operation from every citizen who resides in the country.And quite frankly,after eight years of the most ruinous
administration in the countries history,the GOP is not in any position to
clean up after itself.No matter who is on the ticket.
I have no respect for Palin at all. Her innuendo, distortions and lies (all while claiming to be a christian) are simply disgusting.
She and McCain and their vile nasty campaign has proven them unfit to lead our country and the world.
They should hang their heads in shame.
Go, baby, go!! Home that is! She can't even be honest in her dealings with the state she is governing. What makes you think she will be any different over 50? No thank you!
Sorry, Sarah, I don't believe you have the brains to help me as a senior.
Palin makes me ashamed to admit I'm of the same gender as hers. Her smear tactics and racial innuendo are appalling. Now she's pretending that Republicans will protect those over 65. Well, I'm not quite there, but I feel strongly that social security entitlements need to be modified. People are healthier for longer today, and there's no need to enable people to retire at 62 who are capable of working. We can't simply fund for a world which is no longer real. I intend to keep working till I'm 70, and see no reason to have our politicians pretend that modifying social security a bit further, as has already been done earlier, would endanger me or my future, or my friends' futures. Isn't Palin ashamed to lie so regularly???
I want to go on record to letting you know that my son is in the air force and he is due to go to Afganistan in Feb 2009. It makes me very proud when I hear him say he does not want John McCain or Sara Palin as his boss when he leaves. He believes that McCain is way too angry to be in charge and Palin has no experience. If my mind was not made up before then is sure is no. May God Bless Barack Hussein Obama and Joseph Biden when they take the oath of office to fill their terms in safety and good health.
So Barack presumably "exploiting the fears of seniors...is the cheapest kind of politics there is" but spouting a proven lie from the podium is ok??
go home please you are very unplesent person
Well, there are so many things we can't say about Obama. His middel name for one thing, anything about Michelle or his connections to Kenya and cousin and good friend Odinga. Obama has had a judge seal his birth certificate, never heard of that before. No medical records were released. People want higher taxes I guess and are not taking to Palin because she is a woman who can do it all and have five kids and a happy husband. With Obama's camp the tax cutoff goes up and down mainly down, probably will reach 42K soon. Obama will take this country to a place we will never get out of: socialism. With all his risky friends, after reading his books..I don't know how anyone could vote for this very strange man.
Why so much coverage of Palin? She's a VP CANDIDATE. Geez. Everytime I go to CNN I see 10 Palin stories. She's given you guys 1 shady interview and no press conferences and CNN contiunes to cover her like she's running for president.
This woman is absolutely ridiculous, will she not resort to just about anything. I certainly don't buy the fact that she did not hear the cheers in the crowd, the people of america is not as stupid as she thinks. This is clearly grasping at straws and evidence of a campaign that will lie about anything because they didn't do such a good job. She is helping to divide this country, instill fear when there should be none, attack someone who obviously is more of a quality person than she is. She should clean up around her own backyard before she goes out to bad mouth Senator Obama. I am so fed up with this nonsense, I can't wait until this is over, so this unqualified, scandal prone woman does not take up anymore of the airwaves.
Same old tired GOP– When you don't have any new plans and can only run on the failed, phony policies of the last eight years, attack your opponent's character.
Of course, asking Cariboo Barbie to discuss policy is like asking a pig to make you a ham sandwich. While it might be entertaining to watch, the results are likely to prove less than appetizing.
Oh the Ice Princess didn't hear them shout this racist chant..yea right! Republicans are the biggest group of biggots!!!!
Sara Palin and family are planning to take up residence in the WhiteHouse! (It ain't gonna happen!)
I love Republicans that pose as Democrats on boards like these. It is turley like the wolf cloaked in Sheeps Skin.
Scarey Palin is just ONE BIG MOUTH.
I still haven't heard anything accurate or of substance from the GOP VP.
How the heck did she get onto the national stage?
That is the real question.
I can't wait until Tuesday and she will be off the stage forever. I continue to marvel at what we learned about John McCain's lack of judgement demonstrated by the Palin choice.
Joe the plumber...Sarah the dummer...
Please keep doing that, you bigots!
Every time an extremist radical chants a racist or hateful comment like "kill him" or "off with his head" or "no hussein" at a Palin rally, 1000 sane voters who used to support McCain realize they want to be no part of that, and start considering Obama.
Keep it up!
The Economist, The Financial Times and Ben Bernenke all Endorse Obama.
So how could Obama be a socialist and also, why is it that the MSM hasn't reported on this?
The Queen of Hate riles up her troops yet again. Can't wait to never see her again, go ahead and secede from the US sarah, good riddance.
President Bush actively promoted the privatization of Social Security and John McCain actively supported investing SS funds in the stock market. Of course since Sarah Palin doesn't read newspapers or magazines, she didn't know. Now McCain has promised to do the same things Obama promises, but he plans to accomplish this by doing it the same way Bush did. Boooooooo.
Palin supporters = Racist, hateful, mean spirited bigots. Definitely not representative of the America that I fought for in Iraq.
In 3 days we can move past the politics of hate and take America in a new direction.
OBAMA/BIDEN '08!
So how did she explain that their plan would be better??? Did she bother to give an explanation of how her plan works and who it works for in comparison to Obama's? can she even explain their plan? I'm tired of people saying she she is qualified or that she is competent when she can't even deliver an outline of their policy...
What a nasty, not to mention racially-motivated, divide-and-conquer campaign she is running. Come on FLORIDA - do the right thing and go vote for Obama/Biden (right now if possible!) and show the country we are better than this!!!!
Please don't keep me in forever moderation CNN
Palin is such a light weight.......just go away.
It seems I'm the first to comment. It look like no body is listen to Palin anyway.
What an awful shrill voice. I think I would rather listen to Hillary and her fake southern drawl than Mrs. Moose Killer
It doesn't matter what she says. The McCNN and Palin team will serve up anything at this point
this woman IS NOT THE KIND OF WOMAN I want to see in the White House. She is a DISGRACE and is doing a great DISSERVICE to every woman in this country. How disgusting.
I was little bit confused whether CNN is impartial but nowadays CNN is clearly siding with Mccain and company. This is good for Obama. When you clearly side with somebody, your influence is less. that 's good .
His name is Hussein, isn't it? Why so sensitive? Also, do you really think Palin told them to chant Hussein. You are voting for a person called, Hussein....get over it!
Once again misleading the people and allowing for fear and hate to be spewed at the rally, and they all stood by. No wonder my elderly inlaws are scarde to vote in Florida and leave there elderly only gated community.
Palin misleads and instills hatred wherever she goes. There is no place for a presidebtial team that INCLUDES her in this country.
Queen Parrot, will say anything. Even if we can neither hear her nor she can neither hearself, she keeps spewing promises without detailed explanations as to what specifically she and her partner will do to accomplish those promises. That's what I call empty promises. At least I can go to their opponents(Obama/Biden's) website and figure how exactly their tax policies will affect me. They(John and Sarah) can twist the truth of the Bush's economic policies, which they now advocate, all they want. The facts are there, the experience of the last eight years is there. The same tax break advocated by G. W. Bush who against our will sold us the idea that a tax break for the rich will generate jobs has not penned out. We are experiencing the worst economic tumble of the century. The GOP, John McCain and Sarah Palin inclusive lied to us about this before. They are lying again and we refuse to buy it no matter how hard they try to repackage it. So, please, please SENIORS in FLORIDA AND ELSE WHERE, beware of WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING. Their promises are as EMPTY as a shell. This is a party of ideology not a party of common sense.
nancy hughes
you are a racist.
Another day and another rally of selective hearing and outright lies.
What's the difference between Palin and those ignorant hatemongers at her rallies? She has a microphone.
To Shane:
Please, do you realize how ridiculous you sound. We should hold you accountable for every thing a member of your family does. You certainly are not a democrat, we all know that trick. Ridiculous
This is at least the third rally at which racist and threatening chants and comments have been reported. Her lack of response shows her personal racial bias and her "winner take all at any expense" mentality. She not just scary...she is Hitler scary!
"John McCain! Not Hussein!" ......
the breakdown of our moral fiber shows in the ignorant people that attends the Palin rallies...at least Mc Cain spoke up at some of them and told the crowd to cool it.....
I'm sure she heard it and just blew it off. It is those horrible racial comments that make her ego grow...and that's why their ticket is bad for this country.
when you watch the coverage of these rallies, it's is amazing and yet, scary to look at the big difference in the crowds. at the Mc Cain/Palin rallies...there aren't a lot of minorities....at the Obama/Biden rallies...the is a sea of diversity!!!...it is once again amazing how one party can bring so many people to the table & one can't...or won't.
If you want unity in this country after the is long trip down the campaign road....think about it .......
and BARACK THE VOTE
Get out of my State with your poison terrorist mouth, you are not wanted.
Where is the promised Palin's medical record? Is she afraid of it showing she didn't give birth to Trig? Or she had an abortion after her affair with Todd's business partner? Plain, let get transparent! If you don't show it before the 4th, lots of people won't vote for you. You shoed too many times you are not to be trusted. McCain-2008 and Palin: a double fraudulent act that even McCain-2000 would NOT approve of.
As in Sadaam McCain's REPUBLICAN GUARD!
Only the CORPORATE/MILITARY RICH will benefit under McCain.
What does Palin think SHE'S doing by saying Obama is playing on theitr fears about medicare?Just by saying that,this twit just did that herself.
HEY SARAH,GO HOME AND WATCH SNOWBALLS MELT IN THE OVEN!
She makes my head hurt worse than Bush and Cheney used to.
Hey, JAMES N. HALULA November 1st, 2008 1:22 pm ET
Guess what? CNN is not going to reply to your "letter" so I will. CNN is not a public service. You may be confusing it with C-Span. By the way, and out of curiousity, what level of education do you have? Oh, just as I thought, another Palin flocker.
Sarah Palin is just a big idiot, when Mccain loses she will be thrown right under the bus, just like the Mccain camp has been for months!
This "Not Hussein!" business is horrible. Aren't these folks ashamed of themselves? I guess I can start yelling "not son of Cain!", which is what "McCain" means. Oh yes, I'm talking about the first murderer, the man who killed his brother. Whatever does it mean that John McCain would go by a name like that?? How can I trust a guy who shares a name with the first murderer??
McCain and Palin are closet rascist..come on her stuid husband wanted the freeze state to secede..let them. It is amazing how one so stuid can be used so easily they all must be on crack! or hitting up Cindy's meth stash
This is a campaign headed for ruin and I pray that they do and in the meantime take FOX News and al its rascists commetators with them (Leave Shep and Alan alone). Dick Morriss, Karl Rove and Rush Dickbaugh deserves to be castrated!
Palin heard the chants, she just does not have the morals or ethics to stop them. At least McCain was decent enough to correct the lady that called Obama an arab. Palin only knows how to incite divisiveness and encourage hate....she has no business in national/international politics.
Divided we fall, no?
i am a devoted Christian and i am appalled by the invective and
pure evil that this woman stirs up against obama and even anyone
in this country and believes differently than her narrow interpretation
of the world. the unmitigated lying by her makes me utterly terrified
of what she would be like as an activist vp or president, God forbid.
she pretends not to hear the chants and defamatory cries lobbed
from the heart of her constituency. truly abbhorant!
Can't wait to see you Obama spammers blow up when McCain wins on Tuesday. Half of this board is on Baracks payroll.
She is Dividing this Country she has to go no more fallin palin
That is so FUNNY! A rep. acussing a dem. of using fear in a campaign. I love this election. The chickens have come home to roost!!
Palin has acted more and more like a trailer trash. She has spewed so many bitter words and twisted lies about Obama that at this point she is totally irrelevant. I hope republicans are dumb enough to keep Plain in future tickets, that is a sure guarantee they wll lose every election. Trailer trash politics of bitter words/twisted lies has not impressed majority of Americans and isn't that sweet?
Mark,
Obama-not Alaska Mama
How about that?
Where's "Fibber McCain"? We've obviously found "Molly".
John SIDNEY McCain, a train wreck we can believe in.
Whack job is too kind for that hate spewing, ignorant, power abuser! What a light weight! Shame on her!!! She claims to be a Christian? What a joke! She has declared WAR against intelligence!!!
I feel sorry that the people of Alaska have to put up with this woman! She is a disastrous choice as a running mate; the woman has no shame!
Go Obama/Biden '08!!!!
Of course she pretended not to hear it. They continue with their evil ways. I feel sorry for our country if this ticket of Gidget/Grandpa gets elected. 8 more years of the same old crap, wow that is depressing!!
The last losing VP candidate who went on to get a nomination was Walter Mondale, and we remember how successful he was. Geraldine Ferraro, Dan Qwayle, Joe Lieberman, and John Edwards were magnificent flops. Sarah Palin will join them on the trash heap of history. She will be shooting wolves from a plane for the foreseeable future.
I know that CNN (which for whatever reason wants to censor non-rightwing comments, aka Moderation of your comments even when you use non-incendiary language; thank God, there are more respectable organizations on this planet) will probably never allow this to be posted, but I'm going to say this anyway.
I am totally fedup with the ugly fear-mongering, race-baiting, bigoted campaign that McPain/Palin have run. Anyone with an IQ above 75 knows that my description of this campaign is correct. They have offered NO hope for the future, just smear tactics against their opponents. It is time for REAL change. A time when we can talk about REAL issues, not Karl Rove-type attacks.
I'm a registered Republican who will NEVER vote Republican again until the party returns to the PRINCIPALS upon which it was founded!
Whatever is going to be left of the wreckage that is going to be GOP after this election and sixteen + years in political wilderness , will hopefully force this ostrich to pull its head out of sand and face the realities of twenty first century.
WHERE ARE YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS MRS PITBULL THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO BE RELEASED LAST WEEK WHAT ARE YOU HIDING CNN DEMAND PALIN RELEASE HER RECORDS!
If McCain wins, expect one DRAMATIC change: name tag replacement
Yes, and everything will be the same, after all, the fundamentals of our economy are strong, right?

Just to be clear, Nancy Hughes, this is America, and many of us have "funny sounding names" because we hail from all over the world. It is anti-american and thoroughly bigoted of you to suggest only WASP names are American
Further, Sarah Palin, it was announced on NBC News, 8 days ago promised immediate release of her medical records. Last night, NBC News broadcast that she had yet to release her medical records and the McCain campaign had snipped at them when they asked, "We'll release them when it's time" which of course means after the election, if at all. So, get better educated about your facts.
Well, there are so many things we can't say about Obama. His middel name for one thing, anything about Michelle or his connections to Kenya and cousin and good friend Odinga. Obama has had a judge seal his birth certificate, never heard of that before. No medical records were released. People want higher taxes I guess and are not taking to Palin because she is a woman who can do it all and have five kids and a happy husband. With Obama's camp the tax cutoff goes up and down mainly down, probably will reach 42K soon. Obama will take this country to a place we will never get out of: socialism. With all his risky friends, after reading his books..I don't know how anyone could vote for this very strange man.
McCain/Palin . . . heroes of the lunatic fringe.
With McCain, all we get is a NAME TAG REPLACEMENT for change
If McCain wins, it's going to be because of xenophobia.
Maybe she has a hearing problem since She's always the only person who never hears these ugly chants
Even in Obama's half-hour ad he said families making less than $200,000 would get a tax cut(not $250,000). The reality is that people who find equality in a potential Obama presidency do so because of who he is. I agree that symbolism is desirable for our country. It's unfortunate though that his means towards achieving change in Washington involve rejecting public financing after he went with his ideals originally and was for it. Now his tax pan won't subsidize his policys and of course he will have to find other sources of revenue to pay for his programs. The fact is for Obama's supporters his symbolism and words speak louder than his actions.
If this is the GOP' s future...then its not looking to bright for them. She appears to galvanize the bigoted part of the electorate. With a country growing in diversity. I'm not sure thats the smart route to take.
Where's your flag pin, once again, who seems more american Obama, wears flag pin, Obama legitamately cares about people and gets out there and talks to them, I have yet to see you go door to door or talk to normal middle income family, the only thing you care about is yourself. Where are your full medical records, fake, snake,
So, in a nutshell, Sarah Palin is bound and determined to finish her hate campaign as vile, dishonest, disreputable, un-American and divisive as she began the campaign. Good luck with your future, Sarah. The American people saw through it. Are we tickled red, white and blue never ever to have to see your pageant tactics and $150,000 wardrobe again? YOU BETCHA!
Go away already! You and McGimmick never talk about the Republican agenda, only about Obama, while instilling hate, fear and division of our country. Besides, no one believes you would ever keep a promise. Abuse of power, ties to AIP, forging expense reports for your kids, extreme wardrobe makeover. And, what about release of those medical records you promised Brian Williams???
Seniors and all minority groups will be worse off under McCain/Palin than they were under Bush.
Vote. Vote early if you can. Whatever you do vote. Yes we can. Yes we will.
Obama/Biden '08
Isn't that his name?
Yesterday, Palin stated that criticism of her by the media for her statements about Obama chilled her First Amendment rights. Now, this means she knows nothing abouat the First Amendment which protects freedom of the press. But it also shows her complete hypocricy–she can criticize Obama but nobody can criticize her?
Palin is a dreadful combination of ignorance, stupidity, and arrogance. Thank God she will not be in a position of national influence and I hope that she will soon lose her position in Alaska. Let her be the female equivalent of Limbaugh or Hannity–pandering to the lowest elements of society.
My question which I hope somebody can answer is: how will the exit polling be affected by the fact that just in the state of florida, there has been overwhelming early votes for the democratic party candidate, will CNN take that inot account during the regular exit polling on November 4th, or will it make it look like the repubs are wining?
Shane you are toally pig ignorant thinking that McCain is great and illiterate to boot. A small spelling lesson for you, It is cast not casted. The only people McCain and his blow up doll can get is ignorant bigoted idiots with brains the size of peanuts.
it has always been that way.
that's why few except zionists care what CNN has to spin about, LOL.
google democracy now, and get real info and perspective!
The Republican campaign has been nothing short of disgraceful. Never before have I seen and heard so many misrepresentations of the truth, even after the misrepresentations have been identified to the Republicans as such.
Sarah Palin has been especially guilty of this dishonesty, which is usually intended to play to people's fears and prejudices. How do you spell D-E-M-A-G-O-G-U-E?
For a woman who professes to be religious, she is a disgrace. Then again, so is Senator Dole.
McCain/Palin could regain some respect back from this independant voter if they nationally renounced these outburst from fringe goups at their rallies. Instead, they pretend they don't hear or know about them, even though it is widely reported. I don't remember white men with the name Timothy being slandered after the Oklahoma City bombing. This type of behavior needs to be addressed by the GOP.
SEND THIS woman back to Alaska. She is a RACIST PIG.
All McCain and Palin can do is lie about Senator Obama. This is part of the neocons' goal to distract from their abyssmal record. McCain, with 26 years in Washington, can hardly call himself an agent of change.
McCain is part of the problem.
Palin is hateful and divisive.
Their supporters aren't thinking for themselves.
If McCain wins, I'm moving to Mexico
This woman does not know when to stop the lies. The truth would never leave this woman mouth. Cheney just endorse Mc Cain today which is no shocker. Cheney is just looking after the investement with the war. As long as there is a way that man is making money off of all the soilders being killed over in Iraq. My nephew died just 2 weeks after his ninetheen birthday in Iraq and so are many other Americans. The man has no soul.
So, if you value your sons, daughters, husband, wife life; and you want to vote for the canditate that wants to keep the war going because it is making money for his buddies, then vote for Mc Cain, Bush and Cheney.
i'm tired... so tired of this parrot mouth. Now she has useless Crist hanging in view like he did everytime McCain was atn the podium with his stupid little smirk.
I, unfortunately, voted for him for his stand on the insurance industry.
Do you know why residents are leaving in droves? Our state legislature has done nothing about our insurances OR the taxes despite his inflated claims he has done so. No one can afford to live here anymore and other states are offering much better incentives for retirees!
I can't wait to hear what he'll be spouting when he comes up for re-election. He'll probably tap Palin for his spokesperson... kind of like JTP for Mccain. I really can't believe he said JTP was his role model!
I can't believe he's still mentioned.I really can't believe that many ignorant people are concentrated into one area...
Well the HOPE for CHANGE will soon be over... The CHANGE will be here in THREE more days!!
We need OBOMA to make this country UNITED, AGAIN!!
Have we gone soft in the head. We just had eight years of the guy we most wanted to share a beer with. Now we're dealing with Joe Sixpack and Joe the Plumber, anti America and pro America, a couple of mavericks and a cast of shady characters, all in 1 hate rally after another. This is a circus, and people are actually buying into it.
McCain and Palin have made a mockery of our election process and have run the ugliest campaign I've ever seen. Their only plan seems to be attack Obama from every angle possible every single day.
Wake up America. The GOP has dummied down our education system to the point where our kids aren't learning how to learn, and now they're dummying down our political process to the point where the least intellectually curious people running have a chance to win the most powerful positions in the world.
Isn't anyone else out there the least bit disturbed by this process? They're herding us, and we're letting them.
November 1st, 2008 12:48 pm ET
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Of course she didn't acknowledge the bigots in the back – they were planted by the RNC to incite hate, fear, racism, and division. Everything the McCain camp intends.
I voted early for the guys that will protect my constitutional rights to own guns and read my bible.
Thanks but no thanks, you power-abusing, unethical ditz.
Obama/Biden '08
If you want to see the face of hate, the voice of division, the language of smear, the idolatry of intolerance, and the inflaming of fear, just listen to Palin. This is what it looks like, this is what it sounds like. In the political sphere, it doesn't come as a ranting skinhead, it comes like this. There is nothing positive that she is appealing to; merely the fear of the unknown, the fear of the alien, the fear of the unpatriotic – but really the Republican fear of losing their hold on power for power's sake. They have done nothing constructive in their 8 years but destroy the fabric of our government under the guise of the same kind of rhetoric we hear spewing from Palin. Enough is enough. Isn't it time to put this toxic stew aside and come together again as a country with common purpose? ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! We are better than this. Palin and her minions have shamed America and it needs to be taken back.
Pander you little puppet, PANDER!
Did you notice that McCain team has hidden the daughter?
Think she's too dark for the racist folks in their rallies?
Obama is going to spread the wealth.As I recall the story,the people loved Robinhood. Now its Obamahood.
I've got news for Sarah Palin– I live in Florida– in a 55+ retirement community, and I voted early for Obama, and so did my sister, and so did my mother, and so are everyone else I know in this community. Go blue Florida!
Three more days, and Sarah can take her lies, deceits, hate speech and fear-mongering butt back to Alaska.
Obama '08
What we're seeing here is the result of all the commentary in the news lately about how the media has been in the tank for Obama and shielding him from scrutiny. It isn't their fault that UNBIASED reporting favors the better candidate! But in order to shield themselves from the perception that they're biased, the media's suddenly giving more focus to McCain and Palin as well as pushing the non-story about Obama's aunt.
Sad.
"John McCain not Huessein!!!" You have to give these right wing conservatives credit they do have the most divisive rallying cries. Look at the democrats chant of "Yes WE can". I think that's the fundamental difference between the McCain campaign and Senator Obama's. While Obama and the Democrats cleary want to bring all types of people from diverse backrounds and cultures into the political process the right wing conservatives,lobbyist and special intrest groups like things just the way they are. It's like the other mantra from the GOP "drill baby drill" in other words the McCain/Palin ticket is (Bush) politics as usual.
Sarah – time for you, John and the rest of the GOP to pack your bags for 8 or more years.
The GOP should stand for Get Out Palin.
Give it up – you lost.
Obama/Biden 2008/2012
Hey Nancy Hughes
If you can even define Socialism, or any of you McCain puppets can, I'll personally stock your 401k
Does the quickly approaching end of this election mean Sarah will take all her Hill Billy supporters back to Alaska with her? Please lets hope they all follow her to her home!
Turn away from the racists. as a former republican, I refuse to be identified bya racist women who gets to bash a Columbia professor and department head because he disagrees with american policy (which I thought was legal and a right of americans) and because he has a funny name she gets to pick on. I refuse to be deifined by these racist comments, I refuse to identify with calling american senators socialists when it is clear they are not. I do not always agree with Obama, we disagree in several areas, but I will not stand for racism and fear mongering as a desider of an election. Not all republicans are racists, but doing nothing about theses comments like McCain and helping them like Palin is just as bad. If not worse when you are the trend setter. I rufuse to stand by and take the idea that it is worth it if we win. It is not worth it.
while I'm all for candidates showing transparency, the LAST thing I care about right now are Palin's medical records. She's young and statistically, proably healthy, just like Obama is probably healthy.
I worry much more about her comfort level repeatedly spouting lies that have already been identified as such. I worry, as someone mentioned, about her failure to admonish supporters who say hateful things about Obama. I worry about her lack of intellectual curiosity (not to mention her complete lack of intellect, period). I worry about her refusal to see, listen to, and appreciate the validity of other points of view. I worry abou the Supreme Court should McCain and she be elected. I could go on, but I'm getting depressed.
Hey folks with doubts (lies) about Obama perpetuated by the opposition – go to OBAMAS web site and (if you can read) there is is the "tax plan proposal" -- but maybe you knew that already and can't admit that he has a good point.....maybe there is another reason for not voting for Barack? anyway – done deal here......OBAMA/BIDEN 2008!!
Get out of my state!!
Mc Insane and his poorly chosen VP ARE SPREDING RACISAM and have to be held acountable for that . There is not place at this time in history if wont YO BE PERCEIVED AS CIVILIZED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These two just go from state to state spewing hate, racism and lies.
Where are her medical records? Is she hiding abortion, STD, or life threating condition such as diabetes? What? Or is she just set herself above the rules?
mc cain just wanted another bush next to him......he can not get away fron the bushes!
We DON'T want Sarah Palin as VP otherwise she would continue to have wild shopping spree with OUR taxpayers money. She is NUTS.
John McCain & Sarah Palin are not trustworthy just like President Bush & Vice President Cheney.
Hussein is just a name is that suppose to scare people? When you are a baby you do not choose how you want to name yourself this is just good sense. In America you will find different name from Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Peter, George Bush, Samuel Alito and etc. This is a multy culture country and people from different part of the world are leaving here and they name their kids accordingly. That do not make the kids bad or a terrorist; in fact they are American like all of us. We have people from Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea, Lybia, Venezuela leaving in the USA and the fact that they have roots from these country do not make them bad people. Nasty, Nasty campaign can you afford four more years of this mess. After this eight years term this republican president will still have his mansion and guess what? that mansion is pay off for. Some of you already lose your home and some of you will. Some of you already lost your job and some of you will while the people that cause this financial mess are getting richer. The president which is partly to blame for that mess is still getting his fat pay check every week and never think one day how his bills going to pay for because you are paying for them. These republicans claim that they are conservative and religious and the democrats are not while all of them are doing the same things. What is the difference by telling abortion is wrong when you doing it behind the close doors. These are selfish republican’s behavior. According to statistics abortions, divorce, gay and lesbian have almost the same proportion among church people than non church people. You need common sense leadership. We do not need selfish leadership. Can you afford to have these selfish leaders in office again?
They had tried everything and I tell you it is nasty. These republicans believe that they have not done enough damage to this country and they are trying to scare you. What is that mean now? When they say that his aunt is here illegally. If you an American you an American and I think your background, your religion, and race should not be matter.
Now that socialism, terrorism do not work they want to bring these nonsense to scare you America. The economy is issue # 1 and they had chosen not to talk about and try to scare you with these nonsense. This war need to come to an end because $10 billions dollars a month can do a whole lot here in the US from job creation to education and infrastructure improvement. Our current president is a republican and they had done enough to our economy and job market.
She never "seems" hear the chants at the rally. Of course, not but she does, just won't say anything. She and her grandfather will not win. And if she runs in 2012, she won't win either, not after her divisive campaigning. I don't care if she spends these next fours years gaining some intelligence. Don't forget how she was, she will change alright to win your votes, but don't let this "she devil" fool you.
Sure, she didn't hear them chanting. More likely she's proud of inciting that kind of response.
She can play up the "gee golly" hockey mom bull or hide behind her gender all she wants. More people are seeing through it by the day. Sarah Palin is dangerous, corrupt, ignorant, and unqualified. That people are waking up to this will likely cost McCain the presidency. I bet he regrets his decision now!
It's funny... but her response to what her role would be as VP in creating policies truly sounded like a beauty pageant contestants responses. NOT like the serious responses of a national level politician.
Sarah, what about AIP?! You know the seccessionist group that is sooooooo very American?!
By the way, Sarah, nice job throwing McCain under the bus to feather your position in 2012, but wait until your own party deals with you then!!! *WINK*
I'm surprised how ignorant democrats are. Most don't know Hussein is Barrack's middle name. Since everything, according to democrats, is a code word for some for something derogatory towards Obama let's just call him "that one". Wait that's bad too. In the spirit of Holloween, let call him "He whose middle name shall not be mentioned".
PALIN HAS MORE EXPERIENCE THAN BOTH OBAMA AND BIDEN. YOU NAIVE MORON SUPPORTERS OF OBAMA ARE JUST LITTLE PUPPETS AND HE IS THE MASTER. THE RACE ISN'T OVER UNTIL ITS OVER. IF OBAMA GETS ELECTED YOU BETTER WORRY ABOUT OUR COUNTRY BEING DONE. HELL IS HEADED ON AMERICAN SOIL AGAIN.WE THAUGHT 911 WAS BAD ,WAIT UNTIL OBAMA GETS ELECTED.
I can't wait t'ill this is all over! I've never been one who had any interest in politics – I find myself constantly on CNN waiting for breaking news… all the name calling and put downs by the so call GOPs. ENOUGH!!! – 2 more days to go! let us all pray and visualize Obama/Biden winning at a landslide…
CNN, your coverage of Obama is increasingly negative. My suspicion is that the following CNN journalists secretly work for the McCain campaign: John King (chief), Wolf Blitzer. Keep up your biased work. Each night you people at CNN talk about a "rogues gallery" . CNN is also responsible for the mess this country is in. Remember you guys sold Bush/Cheney and their lies to the American people. CNN also served as a conduit the Bush white house used to sell the Iraq war. Now you are trying to sell the most incompetent ticket ever to run for the highest office to the American people. Well, whoever pays the piper dictates the tune. CNN go ahead and play the tune of your boss, the RNC.
lol, let's shock 'em (mccain and palin) and barack 'em.
Get out and vote! especially young people like me! let's start a new era- NOT continue the same error! This thing is NOT over. we have got to get our friends and neighbors to the polls. our future depends on it!
"The day that will be called "USA is full of racist" Day. Keep all the mess up. That only makes more people see libs being bullies and that fear tactics will not work."
This is not about racism. This is about the people of the US potentially making a very dumb choice. Neither choice is great, I think the selected presidential candidates are both farrrrrr from ideal options. And neither will bring true change or reform to the US, I'm afraid.
What a moron. A bag of peanuts would make a better VP.
This woman is just plain dumb, along with the rest of the Republicans in this great country.
What is the latest information about the state legislation of Alaska on Sarah's unethical firing of Trooper Walt Maneegan.
This woman is vitriol. She should be marginalized and ignored. Unfortunately, this is unlikely to occur, as too many extremists in the Republican party do not even know what sort of fire they are playing with in Sarah Palin. She is an absolute poison to the future of American unity: Charming to some, attractive to others, ignorant, ineloquent, and most importantly - divisive.
She is wholly unqualified to unify anyone under any banner - extreme or otherwise. The extreme and ignorant people who rally behind her deserve the status quo.
So, the last report said that Obama aunt gave money to the campaign. Not the report says she is in the country illegally. Should we be looking at his campaign financing a little more closely?
you're an idiot Palin please leave florida as soon as possible we don't need your kind here...... narrow minded, fear mongering bush tacktics at the last minute, racist inspiring, unqualified, and will hopefully get booted for her lying about trooper gate and she should see what her senator is going through, Sarah you can't have the same no bid contract builder of your hockey rink build your house using the left over materials to use on your house for free and have your kids fly around for free and use tax payers money to pay it you are gonna be sooo busted when this is over... typical republican miss use of power you should be ashamed
We had George Bush make America ns look bad in the eyes of the world, and McCain/Palin making Americans look bad in the eyes of Americans. McCain wasn't here in the 60's – and wants to bring back the riots.
In 3 days you will be able to make HOPE triumph over HATE. Its in your hands. O/08.
The fear and out right hate on display at Palin rallies should be proof enough to America that a McCain/Palin administration would bring utter disaster and ruination upon America.
When a candidate panders to our most base fears and prejudices via distortions or lies, they don't deserve a single vote.
When McCain/Palin level a charge at their opponent it is important to remember that they are likely doing so because they themselves are guilty of that of which they accuse Obama.
Chuck Jones, famed director of Warner Bros. Looney Tunes, said that there's a little bit of Daffy Duck in everyone, whereas Bugs Bunny is beyond the reach of most. He summed it up this way: Daffy Duck is realization while Bugs Bunny is aspirational.
McCain/Palin are a realization and Obama is aspirational.
To describe Sarah Palin, I would like to quote a statement Judge Judy often uses on her show, "Beauty fades, Dumb is forever!"
September 19 is "Talk Like a Pirate" Day.
November 1 must be "Chant Like a Racist" Day.
I am so tired of the B.S. These people lie and mistate and no one say a thing about it. CNN and others allow the flacks for the candidates to come on and perpetuate the crap. Shame on sara hate and shame on you cnn.
Nancy Hughes , you are so lost in translation it's unreal. Alot of people don't have seals,my daughters birth certificate didn't either.And what the heck does that have to do with anything anyway? John MCCain was born in Panama.Obama was born in Hawaii,thats a state.Panama isnt.anyone can read a darn speech,This women is dumber than a box of rocks,and John MCCain is running the biggest,lying campaign in history,according to Bloomberg.com,
Her speech at Children's Hospital in PGh will go down in history to,as the stupidest.She was telling a room full of epidemiologists,biologist's,and parisitologists like myself, that fruit flies were a joke. and why do they fund research.IQ- 80 at best hahahahaahah
Its Over
Obama won
The awakening is happening
powered by the people
John judgement is the reason for his loss
and to throw GOPers who switched under the bus sealed the deal for you McSame.
Outrageous! To persecute a man for his name...McCain-Palin looks more and more like Mussolini-Putin every day. Sen. Obama is continually labeled with the term Socialist. Sen. McCain and Ms. Palin are doing a fine job of labeling themselves as fascist extremists. Horrible.
Their supporters are just as stupid and vapid as they are. Maybe even more so!
OBAMA-BIDEN 2008!!
It's absolutely ridiculous to even imagine this woman running for an office as important as the VP. If someone can tell me how Sarah Palin is in any way qualified to run a state like California then I'll begin to see her as anything but a tabula rasa. No disrespect for the state of Alaska but that's the only state this woman is worth a penny.
On another note, has anybody noticed that this woman cannot even compete a simple English sentence before jumping to another unrelated and further incomplete one?? This is such a shame that will let the rest of the word even contemplate the possibility of Sarah as a potential VP. This show of foolery ends in a couple of days when the better set of candidates gallantly win .
God Bless America and may God Bless President Obama !!!
ITS A LIE DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE
It seems the Republican Party has lost its way; it’s up the real Republicans to take their party back from the ultra right wing, conservative, religious, know nothing, nut jobs.
Democracy needs differing points AND the ability for us compromise. That is what our founding fathers intended.
Remember it all started with three words: We The People
If Seward had any idea about Palin he would never have paid what ever for alaska, Alaska's folly is Sarah, and I pray to God ever day that she doesn't become a heart beat away from the highest office in this great land
The more seniors forced to keep working beyond their capabilities, the fewer jobs for younger people. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to do the math.
Cut the crap McCain. You are the best example of "The peter principal" I have ever seen.
she didn't appear to hear or acknowledge the chants of "not Husein"? it happens at all their rallies. it's racist and it's unacceptable. and they should be called out for that. after McCain called Obama "that one", Obama didn't even hold that against him. the GOP has turned into a racist xenophobic klan, which is why it's unraveling-moderate republicans are leaving and the GOP will finally be the White Party, War Party. pathetic that's coming from our nation, the "greatest nation on earth" as the rest of the world laughs. if hate and racism were a fuel the US would be energy independent. but it is a fuel that only scares people and appeals to their worst instincts.
Yes we can/Si se puede
Obama/Biden
IM MORE AFRAID OF THE HUSBAND THEN PALIN...HE IS THE DARK SECRET THAT WILL HARM US ALL. A VOTE FOR HER IS A VOTE FOR HIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE...PLEASE REMEMBER THAT FOLKS!
Why has the Republican party become the party of toothless banjo pickers? I used to really admire the core principles of the "old" republican party.. but the hardcore anti-intellectual side of the party is officially steering the bus these days.
Absolutely NOT TRUE!
Not only is she continuing to spout debunked claims, she obviously, is not educated on the common Republican ideas of privatization of our Social Security program.
How people, seniors or otherwise, can take her seriously, is beyond this 56 year old white woman, business owner.
She's a crock and I'm truly amazed as a woman that this is the best the Republicans could come up with.
The more I hear about this woman the more I despise her.
Well that is his middle name. Funny how he doesn't want to advertise that! It is what it is! and you will get what you vote for!!
I just feel sorry for all the lost souls who cannot figure out who truly loves the United States of America and not himself!!!
Go away!!!! So sick of Palin. What a loser. Hope she gets recalled in Alaska.
I am very upset by McCain's and Palin's incendiary methods of campaigning. They rev up their base in a very divisive manner. They pit republicans against democrats in a way that demonizes democrats as being un-American. American against American. In these times that require unity? How dare they? They incite hate and violence. To hear someone yelling "terrorist" or "kill him" about another American is disturbing. Worse yet, it went unanswered as this is what they are aiming for. This is unacceptable behavior for two people who want to govern all the people. They have no business being rewarded with the responsibilty to lead. They also stir racial tensions by preying on people's fears. After all the reason why some people would fear Obama is because they believe that he would not have their best interest at heart. McCain and Palin are less scary because they are white. However, there is a long list of not questionable but factual dealings McCain has in his past and present. As well, there is a long list for her young years that Palin has from accusations of abuse of power to her involvement with a group that wants to separate from the U.S. Separation is an ideology that doesn't just go away. I am from Quebec, Canada so I know about this. We have to deal with this endlessly. She is dividing America and the Republican party. She is for Alaska first.
Obamacan November 1st, 2008 1:34 pm ET
I was little bit confused whether CNN is impartial but nowadays CNN is clearly siding with Mccain and company. This is good for Obama. When you clearly side with somebody, your influence is less. that 's good .
---------------
It's been going on forever. Have you not seen Campbell Brown or Loozer Dobbs? They worship McCain's dirty feet.
Please tell me how McCain is going to pay for all the tax cuts he plans to emplament. Bush doubled our deficit and if McCain wins he will continue down that path. I would just like to hear how he plans on lowering the deficit instead of just attacking Obama. Does anyone really think a spending freeze would work? Wait all the earmarks. No that is only 0.1% of our budget. McCain has no idea how to fix this budget. Obama will reduce the deficit by ending the war (a war that no matter what happens we do not win) and increasing taxes for the wealthest americans that can afford to pay more. He is removing bush's tax cuts that caused so many CEO and wallstreet fat cats to make more money than could ever of been imagined. They could have easily given some raises to their other employees but instead kept it all to themselves. Great idea.
The hate will stop on Tuesday, or at the very least be quieted a little I hope. Daily Scandal Palin supporters are just such nasty people. It goes hand in hand with the findings of the ethics committee on Daily Scandal Palin's Troopergate scandal. Just a nasty woman with nothing but hatred in her veins. I hope for the sake of this country, and all of us, that McSame & DSP go back to where they came from.
Palin promises to keep her commitments to seniors but fails to tell voters just what they are. Probably thinks no one notices her lack of specificity. Just goes from empty promises to outrageous lies about Senator Obama. Won't she be surprised in a few days when she loses and the Republican party blames her for the loss.
Sarah Palin is an obvious bigot and pretends to "not hear" racial slurs and physical threats toward Obama during her stump speeches.
She's a modern day, female version of Adolph Hitler who fortunately lacks the ability to organize millions of people to buy into her hatred filled convictions.
Send her back to that isolated, almost completely uninhabited Alaskan island so she can spy on the Russians.
Red is the color of hate, division,anger,and the past
Blue is the color of hope,trust,prosperity, and the future.
Palin simply is a person that in no way should ever in be in the Whitehouse.She is of the past and just because she has had some executive experience does not mean she should have the keys to the free world.The Enron crew had exec experience as well as many others who would not be trusted but have executive experience.
Love it.....she states Obama's message is divisive, yet it is her supporters who inject things into their chant to continue the divisions in this country.
She is clearly unfit to be on the national stage. Please send her home on Tuesday.
If the Republicans think she is their future, the future must look like something from "Mad Max".
I dont believe anything this snow queen has to say, McCain, Obama and Biden also fit into this group. Both camps have sponsered misleading and dishonest ads and speeches with a rare truthful statement in there some place. To many important issues have been marginalized into sound bites, ignored or turned into attacks by both campaigns so much so I dont really know where any of them stand. Whatever the outcome Nov. 4 hard times are ahead for most of us. I have voted early and encourage everyone to do so.
Whats wrong with saying "Vote McCain, not Hussein"?? Is Hussein not Barack's middle name???? Why is that not ok, but calling McCain, McBush or McSame, fine, funny and edgy??
You liberals are a bunch of hypocrites...champions of tolerance? Yeah you only tolerate those you think the same as you. How pathetic...
It's amazing how she is such a witch! No one has said a word about her lack of mothering skills with the knocked up daughter... at 17!!! What trash!
I don't think I've ever seen such a divisive campaign. I can only imagine how much more division would happen if Palin and McCain take office.
anyway, since she said she would release her medical records did she?
Will she ever accept responsibility for her unethical behavior in Alaska?
Still the "Wicked Witch" of the North!
Palin demonstrates what is wrong with America and represents divisions and hatred. She can go back to Alaska soon where they can deal with her as she is done in national politics unless the Republican Party wants to get killed again in 2012. Palin has not figured out that the Republicans are not going to win by going even further to the right. The demgraphics of America has changed and the Republican Party is going to have to reconsider their platform and representatives as they are on the verge of a huge fall for the enormous failures of Bush. Good bye McCain. Good riddence Palin.
in defense of CNN they are doing their job and should have been doing all along! reporting the news fairly. You Libs are just upset they are not agreeing with you. I have never met such a group of people that cannot listen to someone's else's opinion without spewing off at the mouth about how wrong we are. This is why we live in the United States, "Democracy" or did you eliminate that word and replace it with Socialism!!!
I wake up each day just hoping that by some miracle that Palin will just go home and leave me alone –
the thought of her being Vice Pres just totally makes me very ill – I do believe that I have felt this way about any politician since Richard Nixon was in office – The idea that she could be the President absolutely scares me worse than anything that has ever bothered me in my entire life that has now gone past 60 years. Pls Sara give yourself a "DARWIN" award and go away.
How can she possibly claim to be a women of faith when she not only allows, but encourages such racist, degrading, hate filled comments from her supporters? She and her other so called faith followers need to read their bibles again. When I see her face it makes me want to vomit.
we constantly hear about how palin draws such big crowds and is so great at rallying "the base", but the truly disturbing element to all of this is her knack for attracting the bigoted and hateful, the bottom-of-the-barrel of her party. she riles them all up then says nothing and shows no decency when they turn ugly.
this is disgusting, the constant shouting of "terrorist!" and emphasis on obama's middle name of "hussein" by these people. how is this not racist? how does this make you so much more patriotic than a liberal?
so what, obama's middle name is "hussein", mccain's first name is "john" and so was the guy that shot president reagan. does that mean anything? no, its simply a name. what they are really saying when they do it is this: he is different, he is not white, he has a foreign name, he cant be trusted....
no matter who you are voting for that is just plain wrong, and it sickens me to think there are still so many people left like this in our nation. i had naively thought we have made so much more progress than this in recent generations. you are certainly entitled to support the candidate of your preference, and this is not an attack on all republicans, because there are many out there that are bigger and more intelligent than tthis.
if you have republican ideals and support mccain on issues then i can respect that and simply agree to disagree, but these people are despicable.
I believe in my heart the Republican party has been hijacked and is being held hostage by small minded, extreme thinking folks who really want to stuff God down our throats…there is NO place for their religious rapture in our lives…do not tell me you go to church and are a Christian and in the next breath…spew hate…I'm not fooled…
Republicans! …take back your party…rid yourselves of the Demons hiding behind the Bible..return to loving your neighbor as yourself…go back and ponder the likes of Tom McCall from Oregon…Ronald Reagan…good and decent men., true Republicans in the best sense of the word…separate religion from politics…there is good in all manner of individuals…please become someone we can debate and find our way with…the world needs what we had before these nasty folks took over…find your hearts…and redeem your souls!
You people (anyone who would say or chant this) are the MOST ignorant people I have EVER seen in my life. I truly, really get amazed at all of the IGNORANCE and sheer HATRED that I see expressed here in the United States. You would think that we would have some of the most educated and intelligent people in the world, yet I find example after example of the most STUPID and ridiculous things in my life. It just shows that ignorance and fear go hand in hand. If anyone ever had a BRAIN and did some real research instead of listening to their ignorant buddies and friends, they would know so many of these things are not true. Unfortunately I guess some people just prefer to remain in darkness, in ignorance and in hatred. God bless you.
McCain/Palin and the current Republican leaders are the most divisive, unethical politicians I've seen in my lifetime. They will say anything, do anything, alienate anyone to get elected.
Why anyone other than a judgmental, evangelical Christian would belong to this party is beyond me! Tthe Republicans would never-NEVER-put a person on the Presidential ticket that wasn't a white Christian. Not a black. Not a hispanic. Not a Jew. Not a Muslim.
This is the party that is anti-American.
“but then he comes here to Florida and he tries to exploit the fears and the worries about Social Security..." – Is that kind of like trying to expliot fears and worries that Obama is a terrorist sympathizer or a socialist?
Palin added that Obama favors a government takeover of health care – An outright lie, anyone who wishes, including Palin can read all about Obama's health care plan from any number of reputable sources.
Palin called the Democratic tax plan “so phony” and said she was thankful that “it’s starting to unravel” – Wrong again Ms. Palin, Obama has been clear all along about whose taxes would not see an increase, as far as getting tax breaks, well that number may be lower but there will most likely be some people making just under 250,000 who neither get a break OR an increase. I know this is difficult to understand for some.
“according to an independent analysis, our opponent’s new policies will destroy nearly six million jobs over the next decade.” – Anyone who thinks the Heritage Foundation is "independent" as far as partisanship goes is truly ignorant.
"John McCain! Not Hussein!" — but Palin did not appear to hear or acknowledge them. – Of course she didn't. This is exactly what she wants and unfortunately a small group of yahoos have chosen to go with it as if Obama's middle name is a good reason to not vote for him or he had anything to do with naming himself.
She still doesn't get that her "swift-boat" style politics just aren't cutting it this time around. People seem to have had enough of it.
If we are going to pick a woman, she has to be a little bit close to Hillary Clinton stature and weight. Palin is not even close, not to mention her support primarily amoung the repubs base.
The repubs are doomed this Tuesday.
oooopps Type O
OBAMA... must spell the name of our next President correctly
Sorry, Barack..
This shows a total lack of respect for Senator Obama. These type of fools should not be allowed to vote period. And what an excuse, she did not appear to hear them. Quite disgusting. Obama is a better American than any of those people that are a sorry excuse of an what Americans should be about.
We wonder why the world is looking at us with disdain, yes, the world does not really look at the US in any good light and now we can see why.
Are we going to make the same mistake for a third time and vote for these racist bigots. I am losing all respect for the Republican brand.
C'mon Ohio and Florida! Please be smart enough not to get suckered by the Republicans a third time! Win your states for the Dems! These are the final days to get out and make the case to anyone still undecided. Turn the lights out on no-brains Palin and angry old man McCain!!
republican crowds are hateful. they make jesus cry.
Palin will bring a new level of hate to the U.S. if she is elected, may god save America if this happens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is dividing Americans and now the Republican party. Palin does not put country first, she puts Palin first. She is a hate-monger. She stirs anger and violence everywhere she goes. She should never be put in a position of authority.
This woman is a total whack job! Is Sarah Palin truly a Christian? Not in my book...
Surely almost anybody must be saying something more interesting than this nitwit Palin. I don't understand CNN... lately it seems it's feeling very sorry for McCain and trying to give free cover to an angry old man and this idiotic Barbie.
All who are reading this – BE SURE TO VOTE. and ask your friends and relatives also. This will be the only way to insure that McCain/Palin go away.
Pack your bags Palin and turn in your clothes you and Mcdaddy are done end of story
So what? Hussein is Obama's middle name, get over it.
She was responsible for the hate filled mongers in the first place when she started her mantra of" paling around with terrorist". Three more days of puting with this crap.
So what? Hussein is Obama's middle name, get over it. And it rhymes when you say it.
I'm voting against the angry old negative has-been and his celebrity sidekick.
She heard the comments. She just chooses to ignore it. They is how she motivates for "base".
Even after all the McCain/Palin falsehoods have been brought into the light; she's still out there saying the same thing. I'm sick of the smear campaign and I'm a Republican. It is very obvious that McCain and Palin have no use for one another. She is not ready to be VP; let alone President. I'll get a bigger tax cut under Obama and NOT have to pay taxes on my health insurance premiums. Can you guess who I'll vote for. Wake up America!!
Who cares really what this empty head has to say? She's the dumbest candidate in the history of US Politics and I for one will be glad to get rid of her annoying voice on Nov 4th...
Mclain been telling all the lies from the start wake up people and there will be more lies if he is in the White House he's another G. W Bush we the people can not afford four more years it would be bush all over again and look were bush has put the American people in the crapper with his spending.
John McCain NOT hussien!!!!
GUYS PLEASE VOTE.
Please do not comment until you VOTE.
PLEASE PLEASE
So it didn't work on the Women so play the seniors.
It sound like Floria the Day after Easter.?
While I was in line waiting 3, 4, 5 hours- I started to hear other people telling story’s on why they would stand in line so long in the hot Florida sun. I met this woman in line. She encouraged me to sit down and stay in line and vote. She was voting for John McCain and I asked why.
She told me he was a Republican and she had no other choice. I stood in line and talked hours with this woman about taxes, jobs, housing, healthcare,evening voting. At the end, she told me that she was Never voting for McCain she just wanted someone else to re-enforce her support for Barack Obama.
She did not think I was voting for Obama and she used me to tell her why she should. This woman had so many of us crying in line because she had just lost her mother. She had to be about 28 years old. She was on her own. She said the reason she was voting for Obama was health care. Her mother died of cancer, but lost her job and insurance, and they could not afford $13,000 a month for her care. This woman told me she can not wake her mother up from her grave, but if her vote will keep one more person’s mother, child, father, grandmother, friend, from going to their grave-She would wait years just for her vote to be counted.
So while you are waiting in line, remember this woman. Vote for your story. Vote for Obama. Talk to others in line and tell them why you are voting for change. I started the conversation like this, This line proves people want change.
Palin has stopped at nothing. Again and again she'll say and do anything to attract a vote. She has no clue as to what she'd really do.
her promises will be empty.
Palin surely knows how to excite the base. Unfortunately the average IQ of the base is below that of a rock. Nothing rouses the ignorant like good old fashioned hate speech.
More and more it becomes evident that this vile female Sarah Palin is a race baiting verbal volcano of lies, distortions and outright falsehoodes. The lower 48 does not need such illprepared, politically ambisious people who do not know fact from fiction and will mouth off on anything the Karl/Rove traind handlers give her as talking points. God only knows how happy I will be Wednesday the 5th after which i do not have to hear her SHRILL voice again. Sarah go back to Alaska where your major newspaper i n Anchorage has firmly indorsed OBAMA/BIDEN. stating that with their knowledge of you you are firmly unqyalified for National Office.
Palin is a pig just like the rest of the Republican Party....
Palin will be revealed as McCain's worst political move of his career. A regret that will be irreparable on November 5, 2008. It would have been an entirely different race with Obama had McCain's most important first political decision been a qualified republican VP candidate. He trumps Obama in terms of sheer years, but has failed on the campaign trail to show his ability to lead by poor choices in actions of character. And Palin followed suit.
She would have worked fine in the old world of politics but baby, we've come a long way and you aren't it.
Apparently the slogan 'Country First' has been replaced with 'Palin First." Out of her league.
This is absolutely disgusting. Shame on Palin and Mcsame for standing by as silent witnesses to the hate their campaigns insight.
I find it really amusing when these racist come out making inappropriate comments like this, it fuels the democrats to go out and vote!!! keep it up racist republicans, your giving the democrats the boost that will take us all the way to the white house!!!
CNN – WHERE IS SARA PALIN MEDICAL RECORDERS SHE WAS SUPPORT TO HAVE LAST WEEK. I just watched on Fox an interview with Sara and her family and not onces did Sara hold her new sick baby. This baby is not Sara and she knows that her medicals recorders will show this.
she always deaf to the voices of hatred!!
she is a vile human being.
I can't stand that women!
Sure–first thing they will do is turn social security over to Wall Street–that's been the republican plan for 20 years–Palin just defines "protect" differently

“so phony” ………………….This woman is a JOKE. THANKS MCDONALD’S….ops……….McCain……….No Palin what is Phony is you trying to run for VP, and more phony is your LIES about loving our County when you and your first dude worked hard to get Alaska DIVDED from the USA. The worst phony about you is LIES about you didn't know how MUCH your cloths cost, when half those mothers in your crowd can't afford to feed their families and have no job. YOUR thousand of dollar for hair do's...ops....that right you didn't know what the cost was. And your LIE about McCain will get rid of the THE Repubs TRILLION dollar debt in HIS first TERM, Maybe for ONCE you need to speak with HIS top financial ADVISOR before you speak again, NO truth to that either. What something to talk about..............how many grandkids DO you have???????????
LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope our seniors who have lost so much already don't fall for this crap. She and her fellow Republicans are the reasons our country has hit an all-time low. Her priorities will not be with the Senior crowd....
Even if she had heard the chants, she wouldn't have asked them to stop.
She relishes the division she's created.
Seniors becareful .....Palin will say anthingt o attract a vote.
Does Obama not realize that raising the taxes on the wealthy will cause jobs to be lost? It is the wealthy who invest and create jobs.
REPORT REAL NEWS CNN.
Who do Republicans think the best President of the United States was? Did they also know that FORMER REAGAN ADVISOR ENDORSES OBAMA?
Former Reagan chief of staff Ken Duberstein told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria this week he intends to vote for Democrat Barack Obama on Tuesday.
Duberstein said he was influenced by another prominent Reagan official – Colin Powell – in his decision.
“Well let’s put it this way – I think Colin Powell’s decision is in fact the good housekeeping seal of approval on Barack Obama.”
Powell served as national security advisor to Reagan during Duberstein’s tenure as chief of staff.
Duberstein spoke with Zakaria about his final days in the Reagan White House. The Reagan official, along with Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and Carter National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, also discussed the transition process to a new administration.
What does Joe the Plumber have to say about that? Are you calling Reagan's advisor a socialist?
Amazing. All things Plain said and CNN choses to make some hecklers in the back row the headline of this story.
It seems that nowadays republican brand consists of 1/3 of lies, 1/3 of fear mongering and 1/3 of name calling all delivered at maximum pitch.
Sad; it used to be party of financial conservatives now it a party of hysteria; reminds me of Hitler in 1933
Barack Hussein Obama
Isn't that his name?
Get over it.
McCain/Palin 08
Those of us who follow the campaign closely have been aware for quite some time that Obama has been misleading and scaring older folks and retirees, saying the McCain plan will negatively affect their social security and medicare service.
Untrue.........and a cheap trick.
Just as untrue and cheap are the spanish language ads the Obama people are putting out misleading latinos that McCain doesn't support them. It is Obama who I believe voted down a work bill.
CNN BLOGS STINK. THEY FILTER OUT MY COMMENTS! GO TO BARACKFORUS.COM FOR MY POSTS SINCE CNN DOESN'T POST MINE!
A campaign indicates how people will govern. Obama talks of bringing people together, hope, and what he proposes to do. Palin and McCain have never told us what what they propose to do (beyond continue Bush's failed economic policies and fight war without end) but preach divisiveness and hate. One cannot govern by attacking everyone. It's time to end this by giving a decisive victory to the forces of hope and optimism.
Go to a McCain rally, but please don't take your kids. Just heard from friends who did and were sorry they did, because of the vulgarity, shouting Hussein, and worse. I was one of the undecided but my husband and I are voting for Obama.
