For Independent Junkie,

We have to be careful how we define hurl and how we define invectives. We also have to be careful who defines what can and cannot be said. The constitution does not say freedom of speech has to be polite and defer to people in power. We do not have to sit down with tea with people who have made really bad decisions for the rest of us and refuse to admit their mistakes and clean them up themselves. Wright is yelling at an administration who dragged America into or kept America in a vulnerable situation in which another group of crazy people took it out on the American people in New York. No one in power tried to prevent the tragedy, and I don't mean through tighter security. Wright is yelling at an administration who dragged America into an unnecessary war for, well, the truth is still yet to be heard if we can save it from the shredder. Mostly people in power get psychologically sick with self-interest, power and greed. Look at Bush, who doesn't deviate from this political madness. Voters have to start with this idea as their base. We can't achieve everything all at once. But we can start at the best of what is possible at the moment. This time it is not the best of two evils. This is different. We can't lose sight of this truth. It's all we have. We have a chance for some real breakthroughs ahead that begin with this election process as long as we continue to participate. Recognizing degrees is our right to use reason and not media sound bites. Don't let the media steal your chance to take the first steps in participating in your own change.

McCain of course shouldn't even be considered as a serious candidate. He's not only had more time to become the most insane candidate on the scrolls, but he also has war issues he just can't kick. We shouldn't have to go to therapy for him while he shoots up his enemies.

Vote your choice.

My choice: Vote for the two democrats on the same ticket. Either way.

Hey Obama we pretty much know everything Hillary has done. I think its starting to come out just what you have done. Better hurry. A tit for a tat!

Clintonites, telling the truth is not playing dirty! I know when you are HRC or an HRC supporter, it may seem like it, but if you think so you are living in a bubble. Obama is simply taking Harry Truman's approach -- "I never give them hell. I just tell the truth and they think it's hell."

Ethical behavior and truth telling have always been a major problem for the Clintons. I hate to think what the GOP opposition research has dug up about their post presidential years.

We are still waing for this assault.

Is it going to be d-day or bay of pigs

SEX, LIES & VIDEOTAPE

Ok, less the sex, but plenty of lies and soon to tv's near you.............videotape. It seems that videotape does exist of Obama attending a sermon with Rev. Wrights preaching his hate speak. No wonder Obama is going all out to attack the Clinton campaign. Unfortunately for Obama, this just exposes him as who he really is.

He campaigned on change and the politics of hope. Now, he is resorting to cheap tricks against Hillary to try to minimize the impact the lies will have on his campaign. Needless to say, even his top advisors are concerned that this video does in fact exist and is going to be soon aired.

How will Obama be able to overcome this news that is completely counter to who he has run as?

Awesome! Now that's what I expect from a Chief Executive Officer, the President of the USA!
Inspirational, big picture oriented, exceptional organisational skills, lead by example, unblemished personal and professional track records, frank open hearted and transparent. I just can't wait for America to vote in Obama as President - what a breath of fresh air....

On another note, it amazing that McCain can so blatantly ignore the wishes of the maority of America's citizens - public support and approval for the Iraq quagmire is at record lows and yet he still throws himself fully behind this mess and travel to Iraq (which by the way is even deadlier than his last visit, and the same streets he strolled down last time under heavy guard is now under control of the Sadr Army, which is influenced by Iran, which has become the new regional power thanks to America.

Histroy will show McCain totally blew it by identifying himself so completely with Iraq that Obama completely trounced him being anti-War

Guess the high-ground was getting a bit lonely...

Too bad Obama doesn't speak with the same candor when addressing his attendance at a racist church.

Excellent plan.... good for Senator Obama.... tell everything there is to tell, then there is nothing left for your opponent to dig up..... unless of course.... gasp.... he gets a parking ticket or something horrible like that... heh.........

But, I have to ask Hillary.... gotten around to finding those tax returns yet? No.... Well how about those documents from the Clinton Presidential Library? Nope........ still waiting.............

how about hrc and bo both go after bush and the iraq war?????? how many here can say how many soldiers have died, ........without looking it up"

What happened to news about Iraq?

The reason Obama was encouraged by Ted Kennedy to enter the presidential race in the first place was because he hadn't been around long enough to collect much "baggage". Obama was encouraged to vote "present" rather than for or against an issue to keep his "baggage" light. I want more than an empty bag for President.

His pastor is saying what many Americans think. Are we now as bad as Zimbabwe when it comes to our freedom of speech?

Is this what we've become, - A society of echo-chamber zombies who do and say only what the TV and authority tells us to? We should be celebrating open debate and challenges to authority, instead, we chastize those who speak outside of cult norms and don't sing along.

Are we too afraid to stand-up for ourselves and our beliefs? Will we ever challenge overreaching power and oppression again in this country?

Where did courage go?

Clinton has ethics??? That would be the big story.

Damn!! I knew it! The Clinton supporters from KOS have all landed here! How many nuts have fallen from the clinton trees and think they are superior to the rest of us? Barack merely declared his form of war with gloves on. He has made his life more an open book than the books he already wrote. So clintonites, what has your candidate shared recently? Not tax returns, not library monies, not donors, not anything. Whine whine whine now as you don't has KOS to kick around for now. What did he do to you anyway? Maybe we can repeat it and get you to stop on HuffPo too? Please please tell us now!!
