“Is that supposed to be a bad thing? If so, why?
That sounds almost as bad as saying, "Obama is a muslim"
Both statements seem extraordinarily ignorant IMO...
Which explains why so many republicans are comfortable using these statements quite effortlessly.”

“SEND YOUR GLENN BECK COMPLAINT TO FCC: http://esu pport.fcc. gov/compla ints.htm
-- Pass it on...
On Fox and Friends 7/28/2009 at approx. 3:07 PM EST, Fox host Glenn Beck accused President Obama of being "a racist."
The group was discussing the recent Gates controversy, and Beck exclaimed that Obama has "over and over again" exposed himself as "a guy who has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture. I don't know what it is..."
When Fox's Brian Kilmeadeon pointed out that many people in Obama's administration are white, so "you can't say he doesn't like white people," Beck pressed on. "I'm not saying he doesn't like white people, I'm saying he has a problem," Beck said. "This guy is, I believe, a racist."
Dear Sir or madam,
I find the racial hate speech spewed out by Glenn Beck obscene and disgusting and I do not want my children subjected to it . I believe the FCC has a responsibility to hold cable news channels, which regularly host elected officals at the federal, state and local levels on their shows throughout the day, accountable for programming hate speech to viewers. I would ask that you stongly consider fining Fox News for this offensive broadcasts, as well as take Fox News off "must carry" for basic cable.
Thanks for your attention.”

“Pulson's BLANK CHECK
The money is Paulson's to use for buying commercial and residential mortgages and mortgaged backed securities as he chooses. No one has any oversight over him, and he can pay any price he wants to, including face amount of the debt.
Courts cannot review his decisions, not can any regulators. He has to report to Congress once every six months.
He gets 700 Billion dollars to use as he sees fit, looking after the taxpayer is a "consideration" not a requirement.
Bet on that 700 Billion dollars being gone before January 20, 2009. Bet on Treasury asking for more.
That is $2,324 dollars per man, woman and child in America
There is no bailout for mortgage holders. Banks get bailed out, but not ordinary people.
Banks and brokerages made record profits these last eight years. Ordinary Americans barely broke even.
In 2007 Wall Street paid itself bonuses equal to the raises of 80 million Americans.
Banks bailed out by this plan need make no changes in how they do business.
Banks bailed out need not replace the management which drove them into insolvency.
Shareholders and bondholders of such banks do not lose a cent.
The securities which caused this crisis are still allowed.
Expect the 700 billion dollars to increase inflation, especially in oil.
Bush is asking you to trust his administration with 700 billion after spending 580 billion on the Iraq war. Do you trust him?”

Don't even menion the "Word of God" or your religon, if you can't even begin a argument with true facts.... When you start with lies as the basis of your principled positions, you don't get the respect you think your entitled too... Example: John McCain and Sarah Palin....

When they start speaking truth then maybe they'll be able to attract those who are truth loving patriotic Americans eager to change this country for the better, for their future...
