What is up with this garbage? McCain and Palin have to put their foot down to stop this. McCain bears some responsibility because his campaign has fostered nasty rude attacks that dehumanize Obama. But at least McCain was man enough to realize the monster he has created and McCain tried to calm down his angry mobs of supporters.

Palin, on the other hand, doesn't seem to know or care how to act like a decent human being. She is really scary.

>>> WOW, well thanks for sharing the ugliness of the right-wingers!!!! ZOIKS, your email is MEAN!!!

Well, I guess a liberal could consider it "mean" to point out the deplorable behavior of other liberals. I just considered it the truth.

>>> as for me being a non-reader or uninformed, that's just laughable. i havent read other threads on here lately, but if people are saying nasty things about bristol palin, i think attacking children is horrible, no matter what your party affiliation.

I agree. But the fact remains, that there have been several threads on the board, not to mention many, many others across the media, where liberals have attacked the kids.

>>> i'm not sure what you are trying to say, but governor palin IS a supporter of teaching abstinence to teens, which is a completely ridiculous and ineffective approach to teaching teens about sex. i never said she was a bad parent, i dont know if she is or isn't, but having a pregnant daughter doesnt make the palins bad parents in my book at all.

My point was one of clarification. While a proponent of abstinence, it doesn't appear that you or I know if that was the ONLY information that Palin provided to her children. I also disagree with your assessment of abstinence as "ridiculous" or "ineffective." Quite simply, it is the ONLY approach, if practiced, that guarantees ZERO teen pregnancy and ZERO transmission of STDs (except maybe mono). It does have to be accompanied by a strong moral teaching and the support of the community...something sorely lacking these days. Your approach, on the other hand, seems rather absurd...teach the kids about sex, hand them condoms and pregnancy tests, and then "hope" that they don't use them...and then act astonished when they do. I hope you use other methods when dealing with drug use or alcohol consumption.

>>>the reason it's okay to call palin on this issue has nothig to do with her parenting, it has to do with the fact that she wants to be VP of MY country, and will have a say in supreme court choices, how schools are run, legislation, etc.

I agree, it's completely valid to challenge her position on the issues.

>>> it shows a lack of judgment on her part, nothing to do with pregnancy per se, but believing in abstinence-only as she----and bush-----does despite what the FACTS show shows she isnt a critical thinker.

If you think the current methods of dealing with teenage sexuality are effective I'm afraid I'll have to disagree with your definition of what constitutes a "critical thinker."

>>> it's so weird when righties accuse us libs of personal attacks that go way way way over the line, when it's FOX, limbought, beck, that michele malkin or whatever her name is, hannity, oreilly are so disgusting in their hatred and fear.

I'd go through the ENORMOUS list of liberal media that is "so disgusting in their hatred and fear" but somehow, I doubt you'd agree. ; )

>>> we're the pacifists, not haters.

Wow...you really do need to get out more. Peek at the KOS, or watch Olberidiot or any one of a plethora of lib blogs...the hate is palpable.

>>> when you're at an obama event, the feeling is about excitement and hope for the future abd it's WONDERFUL, it's not about anger or hate against people. it's the mccain and palin events where ugly people are yelling dangerous and ugly things.

Unfortunately, Obama has a lot of dangerous and ugly things about his character and associations that raise the ire of conservatives. McCain, on the other hand, does not, so there's no reason for that kind of anger at an Obama rally. Besides, the Obamaniacs are too hopped up on kool-aid to be feelin' much pain. ; )

>>> that's a huge----not to mention extremely ugly and vicious----assumption to make about the obamas and abortion. if i had read that part of your email first i wouldnt even have bothered to respond to you.

Oh well, yet here you are. As for the Obamas and abortion, sorry, but they're responsible for their position on the issue, not me.

>>> i am sorry for you that you are so unhappy and angry, someone has really done you wrong somewhere, some time.

Not yet...but we're doing all we can to make sure Obama never gets the chance. LOL!

Well actually, the flag beside my name indicates that I'm a Canadian. So, I'm not a Republican or a Democrat, I actually identify myself as an independant and my candidate was Stephen Harper, not Obama or McCain.

Thanks for the explanation - I wasn't aware that Obama identified himself as Barry.

>>> OMG! What a conglomeration of confusion. No one is being hypocritical, because they would never have an abortion, but refuse to judge others for their CHOICES. It isn't being judgmental! Quite the opposite.

I didn't say they were judgmental, I said they were hypocritical...and they are...unless, of course, they view a baby's life as inconsequential, like so many other liberals. They'll keep their baby if it's convenient, but want the right to discard it if it isn't.

>>> How vicious? By claiming you know the Obama's beliefs.

I know he supports a woman's right to kill her baby on demand...and if by chance the poor thing survives the first assassination attempt, Obama supports the right to kill it again.

>>> It may surprise you to learn; not all liberals are pro-choice.

I did hear about that couple in Kentucky.

>>> Conversely, not all conservatives are pro-life. So, for you to jump to conclusions about what the Obama's would do, in the snide way you posted, was mean spirited, and a vicious attack on them.

Heaven's me! How silly it was to presume that Obama could be trusted to behave according to his words. I should have known better. So should you...vote for McCain.

>>> You have no idea what the Obama's would choose to do.

I know what policies they endorse...and a pro-life position isn't among them.

>>> It is beyond ridiculous, to think every pro-choicer would choose to have an abortion if faced with an unwanted pregnancy. That isn't hypocritical at all. It's being pro-CHOICE. The CHOICE is choosing what to do..keep the baby, give it up for adoption or abortion...hence the CHOICE. Your assertion, people get abortions for convenience, demonstrates a lack of understanding and of empathy.

Well, again, I'll try to explain...if ANYONE, even a "pro-choicer," believes that there is a sanctity to life, so much so, that THEY would choose not to have an abortion, then they are hypocrites for supporting another to violate that sanctity of life.

On the other hand, if they see life as a matter of convenience, i.e. we'll have a baby if it's convenient and kill it if it's not, then you're right, their view isn't hypocritical at all...but it is pretty disgusting.

>>> Again you are wrong! I am NOT hypocritical. Pro-lifers sit as judge and jury, and try to force their opinions/beliefs on others. What gives pro-lifers the right? I would do my best to try to talk someone out of getting an abortion, but in the end, it's their CHOICE...not mine.

What gives you the right to push your "convenient perception of life" onto others? You expect people who believe in a sanctity of life to stand by and watch "pro-choicers" violate that belief. How arrogant.

>>> You are missing the point! If the situation was completely reversed, as I already described, Obama never would have been nominated, because they are BLACK...NOT because they are pro-choice.

Um...I hate to break it to you but Obama IS black and he IS the nominee.

>>> Let me give you some other examples. If Obama had been the one to cheat on his wife for three years, divorced, re-married to the woman he had the affair with, you can be sure he never would have been nominated.

If McCain had dumped his black girlfriend because she wasn't "white enough," or if McCain had a close friend and mentor who was a racist and America-hater, or hung out with terrorists and bought his house with the help of a felon, he never would have been nominated.

>>> If Michelle had been the one to steal thousands of dollars from a charitable organization, to support her drug habit, she would be in jail. Being white and rich, does buy you privileges. BTW: I am white.

If Cindy had only ever worked for her own ambition and self interest, and received a million in earmarks for her company, or was involved in a shady deal to buy her house, and who has called America a "downright mean country" and said she's "never been proud of her country," she'd have been crucified in the press. Being black and rich, does buy you privileges.

>>> Please refrain from insulting me in future posts. TIA.

Calling a spade a spade isn't an insult, it's the truth.

>>> Not everyone knows Barack's nickname in college, was Barry.

Then they should read more before voting for a guy they don't know. BTW, it wasn't his "nickname" in college...it was his "nickname" throughout his childhood, until he came home one day and decided it wasn't black enough and changed it to Barak. His grandmother still calls him Barry.

>>> It has nothing to do with not knowing her candidate.

Yeah, it kind of does. The name of a candidate is pretty fundamental. If you get hung up on that, I wouldn't suggest trying to dissect the lies and propaganda that make up the rest of his campaign.

>>> It would have been nicer to just answer her question. His legal name is not Barry Hussein Obama. I'm sure you know that.

Ask his grandmother. ; )
