Mike's Blog Roundup

Editor&Publisher: Finally! The MSM will grudgingly report that St. McCain actively sought and accepted the endorsement of a couple old pals of the Bush White House. This minister is anti-Semitic, anti-Catholic, and wants war with Iran now. The sainted solon has dubbed the other radical cleric a "spiritual guide." Neither, however, is a scary black man.

Do we honestly think that MSM will pick up on McInsane's less than honorable supporters? Their having to much fun smearing Obama, and inflating the race issue. I'll think i'll gag right about now.

scary AND angry. shudder.

McMSM is to busy trying to confuse Obama supporters.

"Among Obama supporters, 20 percent said they would vote for Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the Republican nominee, if Clinton beats their candidate for the nomination." March 21, 2008

(So take our advise and don't think twice, then we and your money will go someplace sunny!)

Ya know, Rev Wrights comments arent that bad when given IN CONTEXT. Especially considering he was referencing Ambassador Peck's comments. Note how he said how angry Fox news was at Peck.

All of the points that have been brought up about John Hagee are certainly valad but I have yet to see his claims about rock and roll music's rythems summoning evil demons that can inhabit young concert goers and that The Harry Potter books contain real witch craft that can put evil spells on good Christian families. I am not saying that these crack pot claims are as dangerous as the ones that keep being reported but it would put his world into the light.

God Damn! All I hear on the news is Obama! What about McCain? The media's diferrence to McCain is so obvious! It's starting to piss me off. Even my father noticed the bias. It's disgusting.

Exxon loses Venezuelan asset freeze and ordered to pay compensation.

Yep... just as I thought: When Chavez threatened not to sell oil to Exxon last month, it wasn't a threat against the US, but a tiff between two oil companies: Citgo (wholly owned by the Venezuelan govt) and Exxon.

Most people aren't real big on the Fire and Brimstone approach many preachers engage in.

How come KBR (electrocuting troops with ungrounded heat-pumps and giving bad water to the troops) and Halliburton (stealing US assets and not paying their people or proving insurance) aren't on the "Hall of Shame"?????

McCains getting a free ride. As long as the Dems can be painted as out of control maniacs from now until Nov John can then be presented to the public as the Calm, Centered, Decisive one best qualified to lead the Nation through the harrowing times yet to come.

PD... You wrote, "Do we honestly think that MSM will pick up on McInsane’s less than honorable supporters? Their having to much fun smearing Obama, and inflating the race issue. I’ll think i’ll gag right about now."

I saw the below cut/paste on a different blog ... thought you'd like to see it.

cut/pasted from diff. blog.

COMMERCIAL YOUTUBE CHALLENGE: John McCain, Iran, Rod Parsley, John Hagee & Armageddon. Yes, Armageddon and their desire to invade Iran to begin Armageddon. Scenario and Details below.

Factual SCENARIO
John McCain falsely claims that al Qaeda is in Iran. Is McCain making those false statements because he believes the same things his spiritual guide Rod Parsley and John Hagee, who both want American son's and daughters to invade Iran to "usher in Armageddon," believe. Yes, you read that right, Armageddon.

* McCain's spiritual guide, Rod Parsley said, "Israel must be defeated by a Russian-Arab military alliance, perhaps preceded by a U.S. invasion of Iran, in order to usher in Armageddon and the second coming of Jesus."

* John Hagee said, "The United States must be in a pre-emptive military strike against Iran to fulfill God's plan ... a biblically prophesied end-time confrontation with Iran, which will lead to the Rapture, Tribulation, and Second Coming of Christ."

Look, McCain actively sought and fought for the endorsement of both Hagee and Parsley.

McCain knew before he actively sought and fought for their endorsement that BOTH Hagee and Parsley have wanted for YEARS for America's sons and daughters to invade Iran to begin "rapture, tribulation and the second coming of Christ." McCain knew their desires of Armageddon for years now and in spite of what he knew, McCain sought their endorsement and he named Parsley his spiritual advisor.

I mean, it wasn't like they came to McCain. No, McCain went to them, met with them and broke bread with them. The whole while McCain knew, in advance, that both those men want the world to end and they want American sons & daughters to be the first ones at ground zero invading Iran.

Now, while I think they're both crackpots, what a SCARY thought if John McCain became president and his spiritual advisor wants to invade Iran to begin Armageddon. And John McCain is walking around lying about al Qaeda working with Iran. That is the same false scare tactic Bush used to invade Iraq.

John McCain either showed WAY BAD JUDGMENT or he wants to invade Iran to being Armageddon too.

No one can say McCain was having a senior moment when on March 20, 2008 McCain said, without a flinch and without correction, that Iran is working with al Qaeda. He had said that 4 times in 1 day prior to that only to be corrected all 4 times ... then finally the 5th time he said it he said it was TRUE, no corrections, no senior moment. It was a deliberate untruth from McCain. Even the generals in Iran on the ground say al Qaeda is not working with Iran.

Does McCain have a hidden agenda to lead Armageddon? I am not sure America is safe with a President who thinks like that.

DETAILS
My COMMERCIAL YOUTUBE CHALLENGE: Use the facts above and make as many creative commercials as you can with McCain, Parsley, Hagee, Iran & Armageddon on YOUTUBE so we can watch Sean Hannity air those commercials incessantly while simultaneously listen to Hannnity talk about McCain's poor judgment for going out of his way to seek out Parsley & Hagee. Get some popcorn because you just KNOW Sean Hannity go in detail about how scary it would be to have a president like John McCain and his spiritual advisors in the White House.

YouTube Challenge and Popcorn

No wonder we're screwed with YouTube being the totality of U.S. GDP.

The British polling firm Opinion Research Business (ORB) asked 1,720 Iraqi adults last summer if they had lost family members by violence since 2003; 16% had lost one, and 5% two. Using the 2005 census total of 4,050,597 households in Iraq, this suggests 1,220,580 deaths since the invasion. Accounting for a standard margin of error, ORB says, "We believe the range is a minimum of 733,158 to a maximum of 1,446,063."

Remember when Rice claimed 70% of AQ had been "killed or captured" and then a little while later said she didn't know how large the AQ organization was? Crickets chirped.
Yet the Lancet studies ( two of them) and this ORB estimate is being challenged by La-Z-Boy epidemiologists

Sure. The Cons will be saying, "look at the Democrats they are fighting amongst themselves like a bunch of spoiled whiny children arguing over a play toy. Are these the kind of people we want leading this great Nation?"

It's so predictable it's ludicrous.

While Hillary keeps pointing to the Rev. Wright remarks as a means of comparing her judgement with Obama's, is anyone going to ask her about her own religious affiliations? The Nation has a story up, by Barbara Ehrenreich, detailing how her affiliations make her much more vulnerable to criticism:

“through all of her years in Washington, Clinton has been an active participant in conservative Bible study and prayer circles that are part of a secretive Capitol Hill group known as “The “Fellowship,” also known as The Family....

The Family’s most visible activity is its blandly innocuous National Prayer Breakfast, held every February in Washington. But almost all its real work goes on behind the scenes–knitting together international networks of right-wing leaders, most of them ostensibly Christian. In the 1940s, The Family reached out to former and not-so-former Nazis, and its fascination with that exemplary leader, Adolf Hitler, has continued, along with ties to a whole bestiary of murderous thugs....

That doesn't mean nuthin........because Hillary and McCain represent Corporate America.....everyone knows they is ultra religious and untouchable in that dept.....nobody mentions the nice quiet televangelist that used to advise every president for almost 40 years......water under bridge

They don't even have to be decent.....just no "fire and brimstone" ministers allowed I guess. Pretty pathetic that it is even an issue at all. Damn liberal media.

I hope that Hagee story runs. Meanwhile, I'm pretty sick of reporters covering for McCain and his gaffes, including his latest one.
