Obama Campaign Cuts Off TV Station After Anchor Asks Biden About Marxism

After this interview the Obama campaign canceled a scheduled interview with Jill Biden: "There's nothing wrong with tough questions, but reporters have the very important job of sharing the truth with the public -- not misleading the American people with false information. Senator Biden handled the interview well; however, the anchor was completely unprofessional. Senator Biden's wife is not running for elected office, and there are many other stations in the Orlando television market that would gladly conduct a respectful and factual interview with her." "This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election."

Real journalism LIVES!!! Can’t we give this woman a show???!! Where has she been! These are hard hitting questions. She isn’t looking down her nose at her guest like Gibson, Couric and that pathetic bunch…SHE IS ASKING REAL QUESTIONS. NO GOTCHA STUFF, JUST INVESTIGATIVE, REAL, TIMELY QUESTIONS! Poor Biden, he was expecting the, “What’s your favorite bread?” type softballs reserved for liberals from liberals.
THIS WOMAN IS FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!

How DARE anyone question THE CHOSEN ONE?!

You shall pay for your impudence, lowly TV station!
Verify we will smite you for your unforgivable transgressions, for we are your DESTINY, and shall trample all those before us with our Chariots of Change!!

BOW BEFORE US OR WE ARE THE NEW AMERICA!!

Barack Barry Hussein Soetoro Obama proclaimed The “Messiah of Islam” by the Minister Louis Farrakhan in his church and on videotape…also stating that the “Messiah of Islam” has “captured” the “youth” of America and the “Messiah of Islam” is speaking!
America…if he is the “Messiah of Islam” shouldn’t he be running for office in an Islamic Nation?
—————–
BRAVO…BRAVO…BRAVO! Finnaly a news anchor not afraid to ask the tough questions that people want answered! I don’t know who she is but she is a great news anchor!

Joey looked like he’d been hit by a train…the train of truth! Not the usual pat questions that he can be so glib on….!

America…if we would have had these types of questions that got down to the heart of the matter, on his affiliations, friendships, policies, etc. he might not be where he is today…and that is probably why they won’t do another one without having the questions ahead of time.

America…the “Messiah of Islam” is playing a game…of “do it my way or the highway”!

If you are tired of playing this game, join with me and millions and millions of the other “silent majority” in casting your vote for the only “all American” candidate, President Elect McCain.

GOD BLESS AMERICA THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE…MAY OUR GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS OUR GREAT NATION…AS WE LOOK TO HIM FOR GUIDANCE

Of course they’ll tell you Obama only used them to steal the primaries from Hillary so they’re really telling the truth.

If McCain or Palin had acted like this, the MSM would be livid. Instead, they are RUSHING to defend Biden and accusing Barbara West of, hold your lunch, BIAS!
This just shows what spongecakes the Democratic ticket are. If they can’t man up to a non-enraptured reporter, how fast will the fold when confronted with a Putin or a Chavez?

Oh, that’s right. Putin and Chavez are in their corner.

1.) muzzle the press so they won’t ask you real questions. and since they are desperate for ratings, they’ll fall in line.

2.) charge the press money for access on election day.

3.) spread the wealth

Bush screwing up EVERYTHING he touched for eight LONG years hadn’t given Democrat voters quite the level of intensity to come out voting in MASSIVE numbers, so McCain campaign gave us that little kicker of a PHONEY racist scare story.
NOW we have just the correct amount of INTENSITY to stand in line 12 hours (if need be) to get you all OUT of our government.
I suggest Democrats go to the polls with a backwards Mc drawn on their cheeks, it will be great psy-ops for Republicans, and make that tedious exit polling UNNECESARY

Phil   October 25th, 2008 - 8:09 pm

Our economy flourished under Clinton with the rich paying their fair share. Under Bush, they paid less and supposedly the economy was supposed to prosper because of supply side economic theory. Now the economy is in the tank, supply side theory has failed, and it’s time to go back to Clinton tax rate on the rich. The rich during WWII paid high tax rates and everybody flourished. It’s time once again for the entire economy to flourish.

This anchor is a strong argument for cloning. The lefties sure can dish it out but they can’t take it.Conservatives are much tougher as they have to defend/answer strong questions like these all the time. When Obama states 95% of taxpayers will get a tax cut coupled with 4.7 trillion in new spending on pork barrel projects, he’s like Joe Isuzu…LYING. It just doesn’t add up. Now I know why the NEA wants to teach kids about how to put condoms on bananas rather than advanced (heck,even basic) math. Anyone with any remote calculating ability would know it just can’t happen….not even close.The dumber the indoctrinated student, the easier to manipulate with propaganda.Yes, Obama, the slick snake oil salesman with the entire MSM at his back will likely win.Not all,however, will be lost… In a way, it will kind of be fun.Can you imagine O’s fear setting in when they announce he has won the presidency (on the backs of derelicts, drunkards, anarchists, layabouts and felons). He will be sitting in the oval office when a crisis comes up, he’ll stare in horror at his desk as there will only be a “yes” or a “no” button.Yep, Prez O…welcome to the NFL…there will be no “present” button…Talk about buyers remorse….the pied piper will be exposed for all to see, and in 2010…. a landslide back to sanity…

Dear Elder Statesman at 9:14 p.m….never, never give up…there are millions and millions of us “silent majority” out here in the heartland just waiting for election day!

We will be heard and heard loudly…we will out vote all the anti-American malcontents…we will out vote all the illegal votes of ACORN…the alma mater of the “Messiah of Islam”…we will out vote all the racist black on black vote…we will win and will win solidly!

We will be victorious in electing President Elect John McCain and Vice President Palin into the White House.

You know why…cause John Wayne always won! Good always triumphs over evil…and we have the only “all American” candidate…President Elect McCain.

He has experience, he has integrity, he has honor, he has given his life to the service of his country…first in the military for over 22 yrs with 5 1/2 of them as a POW in Vietnam and over 23 yrs as a legislator and now he is volunteering to serve as our President.

Hang in there…don’t believe the biased daily up and down polls…we are going to be victorious…you can count on it…we all know the continuance of our democracy and our freedoms depend on it and “we” will get out there and vote and take others with us!

GOD BLESS AMERICA THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE…MAY OUR GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS OUR GREAT NATION…AS WE LOOK TO HIM FOR GUIDANCE

*APPLAUSE*!!!!! Finally SOME BRAVE SOUL steps forward and asks some tough questions on behalf of the suppressed. Did you see the indignation on Biden’s face?? Mrs. West was FAR more classy and professional than Biden and I THANK her for having the courage to speak up. What Biden and Obama don’t “get” is that these questions ARE on the mind’s of American’s and I’m insulted that they want to silence them. I will be forever changed by this election and now my eyes are WIDE open to the liberal media and the blatant corruption, lies and deliberate cover-ups by Obama. He disgusts me, not because he’s “black”, because he is a crook and wants to fundamentally “change” what we are as nation. What he doesn’t “get” also is that it’s not about race, it’s about HIM. he is being judged on his CHARACTER, not his color. As for Mrs. West, she is a TRUE journalist and a patriot. I know now Obama the Dictator will seek to destroy her life and I will pay a heavy cost, perhaps even her job. I hope her colleagues will rally around her and support her. After all is said and done, the world is now watching Obama and the small man behind the curtain has been revealed for what he TRULY is…a radical socialist who despises America and will silence dissent. If you hate America as She stands, one Nation under God, Indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for All, than Obama is your man. You live with your conscience and I will continue to pray for this great nation.

Manchurian Candidate   October 25th, 2008 - 11:06 pm

The Phillip Berg lawsuit demanding proof of citizenship from candidate Obama has been dismissed by a Federal judge who said a “citizen has no standing to police constitutional requirements for president”. Berg plans to appeal the case.
To date, Obama has produced no bona fide, certified physical evidence of citizenship. Questionable image files from the internet are not ceritfied physical evidence.
McCain has been pronounced by both parties in congress as being eligible to run for president. Obama has not.
Some speculate whether the trip to Hawaii might have something to do with that other than visiting a sick grandmother.

PALIN "GOING ROGUE"?!   October 25th, 2008 - 11:17 pm

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/10/25/mccain-aide-palin-going-rogue/

Wow, who wouldda thunk it??!

PALIN, a ROGUE!??

“Several McCain advisers have suggested to CNN they have become increasingly frustrated with what one aide described as Palin “going rogue” recently, while a Palin associate says she is simply trying to “bust free” of what she believes was a mishandled roll-out that damaged her.

McCain sources point to several incidents where Palin has gone off message, and privately wonder if they were deliberate. For example: labeling robo calls “irritating,” even as the campaign was defending the use of them and telling reporters she disagreed with the campaigns controversial decision to pull out of Michigan.

A second McCain source tells CNN she appears to now be looking out for herself more than the McCain campaign.”

then i will be smarter than anyone, just hope i don’t bust another blood vessel, and wind up talking like a righteous wind behind my Saviors back, and can kiss Hillery and pat her on her ass, when she leaves the stage, so people can think i’m a real man, bless my savior Obama!

Republican fears of historic Obama landslide unleash civil war for the future of the party

“Aides to George W.Bush, former Reagan White House staff and friends of John McCain have all told The Sunday Telegraph that they not only expect to lose on November 4, but also believe that Mr Obama is poised to win a crushing mandate.”

“They believe he will be powerful enough to remake the American political landscape with even more ease than Ronald Reagan did in 1980.”

“Democrats lead in eight of the 12 competitive Senate races and need just nine gains to reach their target of 60. Even Mitch McConnell, the leader of Senate Republicans, is at risk in Kentucky, normally a rock solid red state.

A private memo on the likely result of the congressional elections, leaked to Politico, has the Republicans losing 37 seats.”

“Ed Rollins, who masterminded Ronald Reagan’s second victory in 1984, said the election is already over and predicted: “This is going to turn into a landslide”

No, no, Mark, don’t say that.

We are the ones going to win by a landslide. Obama will lose because that’s what losers do, lose. We will win, because that’s what winners do. Conservatives are winners. We are. We ARE. You can tell by all the intelligent stuff all of us write here. We know where many of the keys are on the keyboards. Some of us even know where the shift key is. That has to count for a lot. Losers don’t know that but we do. It proves we are winners. We ARE.

During the Carter years the dems had control, they passed the deregulation bill that caused the mess we are in and gave social security to illegal immigrants that never paid into the program. Now obie wants to set up free health care which will be neither free or healthy. Medicare doctors have so much oversight and regulation that nobody wants that job because there is no money in it. So they open up their own practice. If you would like to wait in line for health care for months, be turned down because they wont cover that, and get shoddy at best health care, go ahead and vote for obie.

and may God Bless this woman for her wonderful jounalism.

There’s nothing embarassing about Biden in that video. All this crap about socialism. Hey, if free market capitalism held all the answers to our problems, we wouldn’t be in this mess right now. At this time we need different ideas and strategies from anywhere we can get them. I don’t care where they come from. The conservatives have had enough time to figure things out, and here we are. If socialsim is good enough for bailing out these banks and good enough to provide healthcare for Congress, could it really be that bad for the rest of us?

Mark is so consumed by his hatred of Bush that his first post does not even address this story. Day after day, I read his posts, which are filled with lies and hatred. He’s not even smart enough to realize the danger of an Obama presidency. The proof is out there but low IQ people tend to ignore the truth as they are incapable of any comprehension whatsoever.

Felicia   October 26th, 2008 - 2:01 am

So I take it from what Biden is saying this time I can count on a “middle class tax cut”! This is not the same one Clinton promised in his ‘92 campaign, right? Of course we never got that one and there was not much mention of it for the next 8 years (of course Clinton had other people er things on his mind) but this time around we can believe the Democrats….so relieved now I can’t wait to see how Obama is tested. Makes me wonder what went on in those transition meetings!!! Guess we don’t dare question these people though.

Chris Jones   October 26th, 2008 - 3:00 am

We had to wait until 9 days before the election, but at least one member of the media decided to ask some tough questions. Nicely done!

SB   October 26th, 2008 - 3:52 am

Real journalism actually still lives in the USA.

In the UK, these kinds of direct questions are asked to politicians directly on television all the time.

Obama/Biden should have thanked the reporter for the questions and not attempt to punish reporters who ask real questions, something that happens to poitcians about .05% of the time.

Good for this reporter!

And what a sexist remark by Biden, “I don’t know who is writing your questions…”

Obama will make gay marriage legal throughout this country. I met the most wonderful man in the bus station bathroom last week.

mark you ignorant $!#t, did you see the VP debate?
Biden says in that debate that his ticket DOES NOT support gay marriage, take a listen to this~
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9ZYWY3UnNk

IFILL: Let’s try to avoid nuance, Senator. Do you support gay marriage?

BIDEN: No. Barack Obama nor I support redefining from a civil side what constitutes marriage. We do not support that. That is basically the decision to be able to be able to be left to faiths and people who practice their faiths the determination what you call it.

The bottom line though is, and I’m glad to hear the governor, I take her at her word, obviously, that she think there should be no civil rights distinction, none whatsoever, between a committed gay couple and a committed heterosexual couple. If that’s the case, we really don’t have a difference.

IFILL: Is that what your said?

PALIN: Your question to him was whether he supported gay marriage and my answer is the same as his and it is that I do not.

IFILL: Wonderful. You agree. On that note, let’s move to foreign policy.

I was going to ignore all of marks postings until I saw the the one I posted a comment to, admittedly before I read to the end, because the beginning sounded just like the dumba$$, now I see it was his alter-ego posting.
my previous stands because he most likely does believe Obama will allow gay Marriage.

>>>Our economy flourished under Clinton with the rich paying their fair share. Under Bush, they paid less and supposedly the economy was supposed to prosper because of supply side economic theory. Now the economy is in the tank, supply side theory has failed, and it’s time to go back to Clinton tax rate on the rich. The rich during WWII paid high tax rates and everybody flourished. It’s time once again for the entire economy to flourish.<<< Wow…where to begin? Forst of all, Clinton had nothing to do with the prosperity during the 90’s – it was the tech boom created by the Internet, cell phone usage, business efficiencies through use of desktop computers, etc. If Clinton were such an economic genius, why didn;t he prevent the tech bubble burst in 2000, while he was in office? Second, how quickly we forget that under Bush, between 2002 and 2007, there were 5 years of unparalleled prosperity which came to an end only because the garbage mortgage loans banks were required to give under the Democratic Community Reinvestment Act finally collapsed the real estate market and the rest of the economy with it. And stating that everybody flourished during WWII is an absolute fantasy. WWII saw price controls, supply shortages, Victory Gardens, etc. Yikes. Learn a little history. And while you’re at it, review the Carter years with its gas shortages, lowered thermostats, the orime interest rate at 20%, and Iran walking all over the U.S. That’s what we will be repeating if Obama and a Democratic Congress are elected.

Thought Bidens forehead would explode. Sending botox all over the camera. What a loser. Sad to say he is one of my senators.

Roberto   October 26th, 2008 - 8:12 am

Finally a terriffic investigative journalist! This woman has guts! I’m sure if Obama and Biden get elected she’ll be working at Wendy’s after January. The left piles it on but just like communist Russia don’t you dare question them!All my Jewish friends…..who had bewitched you! You are flocking to vote for this guy who surrounds himself with anti-semites! WAKE UP AMERICA! YOUR FREEDOMS ARE IN JEOPORDY!

claspur   October 26th, 2008 - 8:31 am

Roberto: Not all that investigative…I’ve known about all of this, for months now….see just had the stiff Flaps to ask the questions.

Biden useing the term, Double-Down is Blackjack lingo, btw…
Hey! Joe Blowden got those humongoid eyebrows trimmed down….finally.

GET THE IDEA?

Jimbo   October 26th, 2008 - 8:55 am

My nose is sore from rubbing it on a picture of obamas nethers. I love the idea of a marxist president.

Flyoverman   October 26th, 2008 - 9:02 am

This is just like Joe the Plumber. It’s not the questions, it is the reaction that’s important here. How many “confrontational” interviews has McCain and ESPECIALLY Sarah Palin endured?

Compare the reactions from the two camps.

If you can justify the Obabama campaign’s reaction then you definately are on the Kool Aid.

What will they do to critics when they get in office and have the Treasury, the FBI, IRS at their disposal? you only have to look at recent history from 1972-2000 to answer that. Exhibits A and B are Nixon and Clinton.

jbh50   October 26th, 2008 - 9:45 am

Amazing that when we actually see a REAL journalist ask REAL questions, the BO/JB campaign is offended!

Karl Marx would be proud of our MSM these days!

Joe from Orlando   October 26th, 2008 - 10:51 am

i thought Biden answered the questions as a professional would.

If anyone in this stage of the game is asking these questions, then they must of been living under a rock.

WFTV will NEVER get my Neilson rating viewer numbers.

WFTV’s sponsors will never get my business.

NBC’s WESH 2 News in Orlando with Martha Sugalski is the number 1 rated news show thanks to my neilson rating support.

MSNBC is also my favorite neilson rating show.

WFTV, foget ablout it I’m donw with you, as Tony S. would say.

Frank   October 26th, 2008 - 11:25 am

Are you kidding me! Did you happen to notice the condecending look on this amateurish news anchors face…..though questions fine, but to get that look and a questionable quote by Kark Marx? I almots fell out of my seat….Congratulations Sen. Biden for handling this attack with professionalism and class. What’s next a so called quote by Lenin ? Joe ” The Plumber” Stalin..Now I can clearly understand why Jerry Springer is so popular in Florida…

Bill Chicago   October 26th, 2008 - 12:13 pm

Biden acted as you would expect: As an angry, cornered elitist forced to face someone who doesn’t see his candidacy as a coronation.

The only difference between what we see now and what we will see under an Obama Presidency is that she would be jailed for Anti-State Activities.

Ted Collins   October 26th, 2008 - 12:16 pm

This is exactly what the cool-aid drinkers will do if they control the House, Senate, and White House. There will be NO free speech; there will be NO tough questions allowed on any broadcast medium if it doesn’t fit the cool-aid drinkers’ agenda. They will deny the public the truth and this once great nation will slide from being a democracy to a socialistic state with communism waiting in the wings.

Matt R   October 26th, 2008 - 12:29 pm

You people are all nuts. Just remember, it’s the conservatives who have run this country into the ground over the past 40 years. It’s time for a change.

Man there are alot of desperate republicans here LOL

angel   October 26th, 2008 - 12:36 pm

I don’t know the name of the anchorwoman, but could someone please thank her for me for being a true American. We need more journalists like her to “spread the truth”. Obama is a dangerous creature and needs to be stopped. May God help America on November 4th.

Bill Chicago   October 26th, 2008 - 12:47 pm

I am neither Democrat or Republican. And, unlike you Obamatrons, I am not stupid either. I see Obama for what his is: A petty dictator in waiting and the single greatest threat this Republic has faced since Hitler.

The media has tried to jawbone Obama into the White House. Unfortunately for them, the American People will have the final say. And the answer will be No Obama.

Shishi   October 26th, 2008 - 12:50 pm

The thuggery is unreal. I cannot tell you how much this interview thrilled me. If I was Chris Matthews I would say it sent tingles down my leg. The smarmy,smirky dingbat had his come uppance. I cannot believe that they are such big babies. In all the abuse the Sarah Palin has taken she has always kept her cool and handled each sabotage with the dignity of a real lady but this scumbag starts whining and asks about who wrote the questions. Maybe he was saying” Did the Obama gestapo not give you the approved list?” This is the best got ya.I just wish that O’Reilly had done the same thing with Barry.

jandj   October 26th, 2008 - 1:03 pm

MARK THE BEST PART OF YOU WENT DOWN YOUR DADDY;S LEG AND A BIG OOLS PURPLE LIP KENYAN WAS THERE TO LICK YOU UP

Eileen for McCain/Palin   October 26th, 2008 - 1:19 pm

America, it has been said that those of us who oppose the “Messiah of Islam” do so because we are racist and bigots. I wanted to put something down of why I really, really do feel that this man is dangerous to our country and that it is not because of racism or bigotry.

RED ALERT, RED ALERT, DANGER, DANGER, WARNING…TAKE HEED!

Each situation around the world that became a major catastrophe…had warnings…signs of impending danger. Look at our financial crisis today, Hitler’s rise to power, Jim Jones in Guyana, look at what is happening in Russia under Putin, how about Chavez and his socialist rise in Venezuela? In each situation there were signs of impending danger. But each time…the citizens failed to act…each time they said…not here…not here! And then it happened…the fall took place…just like the signs predicted. And those few that had the courage to speak up to try and stop it…were ridiculed…continually…by those who went to bed with the situation. They would not heed the warnings of doom! They would not look back at history to see how nations rose and fell and learn from their mistakes!

Many, many warnings are being sent here to us today, America. We must face up to what is coming and be prepared to accept the end of our democracy and our freedoms, as we know them, if we are not prepared to fight for them. I, for one, choose to fight! I, like President Elect McCain and Vice President Elect Palin…can take the heat from the fire in the house…in order to prevent the house from being destroyed!

What are the “red” flags in the candidacy of the “Messiah of Islam” that are sending off warnings of danger?

1. A man gives one speech at a convention (4) yrs prior and then is propelled (4) yrs later to be the candidate for the highest office in our land.

2. This man has no experience on the executive and/or administrative level. Never ran a company, even a division of a company, never ran a city, never ran a state . Claim to fame is a “Community Organizer” to help rally the citizens to get them involved…get monies for them from the government. As ACORN tells it, never employed by them, but worked for them as a community agitator and then a teacher of the posse to agitate to get out the vote. Now this organization is being investigated for accepting taxpayer funds to specifically get this candidate elected. Lying about the registrations for voting they were supposed to produce and voter fraud. This biased ACORN funded with taxpayer monies gotten for them from Senator Obama, now endorses him for the Presidency with our taxpayer money even if we don’t support his candidacy…our monies are going to him!

This man spent about 24 mons in the Illinois Senate where he was helpful in getting some legislation passed. The most public being the legislation that permits a “botched” abortion baby that was born alive…to not …not get any medical attention…just let it alone until it dies…just let it die alone!

Then this man spent about the same amount of time in the US Senate doing nothing to speak of except vote “present” more often than not. Present meaning…no opinion. The rest of this man’s term has been spent doing nothing for the people except run for the highest office in our land.

3. Starts out his campaign with nobody knowing anything about him and ends up the same way.

4. Declared the “one” by Ms Oprah herself…maker of best sellers!

5. Goes out campaigning saying….and reiterated by his opponent Hillary Clinton…”the skies will open up….etc. Speech!

6. Then he creates his own “new” Presidential seal…the seal of the highest office in our land has been changed…the seal that has been a part of our Presidency for decades is now being altered by the “one“. Has to take it down when there is such an uproar.

7. Refuses to wear a United States flag pin…until absolutely forced to do so! Refuses to put his hand over his heart (a normal procedure that we were taught since elementary school as an act of allegiance) in stating the “Pledge of Allegiance to America”!

8. Takes the United States flag off of his plane…at the cost of thousands and thousands of dollars…why is no one saying anything about this money foolishly spent like they do Governor Palin having to get a wardrobe for $150,000? Puts on his plane his new “interpretation” of the flag.

9. Goes overseas in the middle of an “American” election to pander for the hearts of the Europeans and Middle Eastern countries. America, when oh when has this ever, ever been done by any man campaigning for our Presidency? Wanted to actually stand before the Brandenburg Gate in Germany…where previous Presidents Kennedy and President Reagan stood to make historical speeches…thank goodness the Chancellor of Germany put a stop to that one. Meets with world leaders as all world leaders do…but he is merely a “candidate”….that is all! Just a candidate.

10. Refuses to release any information about his past. His birth certificate…which should be the very first item of identifying whether or not he is legally a US citizen and can run for the Presidency. His Kenyan grandmother swears she was there at his birth…and she held him after his birth. Is he throwing yet another grandmother under the bus? His past papers at his colleges or work experiences and medical records have not been released, even though all other candidates have done so as past candidates did.

11. Lies continually about his anti-American friends and his associations with them. “I didn’t know him well, lived in my neighborhood, was on the same board, only went to the church on occasion“. Remember, when he got on national TV and said he didn’t know the Rev Wright that well…then when all the inflammatory remarks of Rev Wright came forward he was forced to say…“well yes he married me, baptized my children, I was a member and attended for 20 yrs but never knew him like that“! Then he had to get on national TV to explain his former lies and confessed with yet another lie…“that was not the man I knew”!

America, how many past Presidents had even “one” anti-American friend? Eisenhower? Reagan? Truman? Roosevelt? Kennedy? Not one…America…not one…but this man has many…too many!

12. How many times in the history of our nation, America, do you remember one of our enemies endorsing one candidate over the other or any candidate at all? Never…it never happened until this man. Take the likes of Castro, Putin, Kadafi, Chavez, Hamas, Hezbollah and how many more, America, want “this” man to be our Commander in Chief? Then ask yourself, America, why do they prefer this man over a seasoned experienced military hero in our country?

13. And the most important of all…just recently proclaimed the “Messiah of Islam” by Minister Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam in America. America…many religions are looking for their “Messiah”…the coming one to save them! The Jews are looking for their Messiah…the ruler of Iran is looking for their Messiah…and in their case…they believe that they have the power to bring him to the forefront by creating chaos and tragedy throughout the world…a very dangerous belief, America. The Christians are looking for the “return” of Jesus Christ as predicted in the Bible…and the Nation of Islam…has now declared their “Messiah” has arrived in the form of the one Barack Hussein Obama. This is a very, very important declaration by the Nation of Islam. Do not take it lightly, America. This is not a foolish title pronounced upon him…this is the man they have been waiting for! They believe this is the man that will propel the Islamic people to take over the world.

America, wake up…the warnings are all over the map! Just pick anyone you want…they are there and telling us…red alert…red alert…danger…danger…warning…take heed!

Join with me and the millions and millions of the “silent majority” in our country and cast your vote for the only “all American” – non messianic – candidate for the highest office in our land – President Elect McCain and Vice President Elect Palin to continue our democracy as we know it and continue our freedoms that have been provided for us by the shed blood of the thousands and thousands who came before us! What will you do to honor their sacrifice…throw it all away with a vote for the “Messiah of Islam” or stand with us and vote for freedom and independence…it is time to take a stand and be counted…let’s get it done!

GOD BLESS AMERICA THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE…MAY OUR GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS OUR GREAT NATION…AS WE LOOK TO HIM FOR GUIDANCE

VOTER REVOLUTION HERE AND NOW!

Steve   October 26th, 2008 - 2:11 pm

If you think the Obama team reaction was negative to this, wait until the FAIRNESS DOCTRINE is enacted. That name along with Obama policies are a joke. I still use Biden comments that Obama is too inexperienced to be President, but that ws before hair plug Joe joined the man of steel’s( Spine at least) ticket. BTW. 10 percent variance is a great deal, after all, our DNA is only 2% different from a chimp. So the tired argument about McCain being only 10% different from Bush is weak. 10% on critical and key issues is a great deal. Obama is 100% democrat, all the time.

mee   October 26th, 2008 - 2:33 pm

all you people need to see “Oprah’s church exposed” you-tube..in it u see a woman name Marianne Williamson who claims that she can become a Witch at night and cast spells and Oprah promotes this woman on her website..the eeriee
thing is this woman started a peace alliance with the DEPT.OF Peace (sound familiar like Obama’s dept.of peace)but is just a big drive to rake people away from believing Christ is salvation..remember both Obama and Oprah have said Jesus is not the only way>>>>on u-tube video u can see pix of Dept. of peace and if you see Obama’s dept.of peace…too freaky just another of Chicago’s pay-to play with Obama “paying” Oprah back..her and her weird GURU Eckhert Toille..peoplle wake up Oprah’s NEW AGE church is
startrd in Marsch so this dept.of Peace was already planned…

michael   October 26th, 2008 - 3:27 pm

Outstanding!! Finally true investigative journalism!! My hat is off to you folks for scaring off Obama and his cronies. Obama has been coddled this entire campaign. Again my hat is off to you folks for finally taking the gloves off!!!
awesome!

jay   October 26th, 2008 - 3:36 pm

Congratulations to this reporter and WFTV for shining a light upon the Obama/Biden campaign! They must be commended for their journalistic integrity and asking honest questions the rest of the MSM dare to ask! We need the nation to rise up and the truth be heard.

God help our country if Obama gets elected.
Their administration would censure anyone who does not share their viewpoint. They plan to shut down talk radio with the “Fairness Doctrine” and it appears now that they would pull FCC licenses of TV, radio and – dare I say – they may attempt to censure free discussion on the internet and block web sites as they currently do in Communist China.

My relatives barely survived the Nazi slave labor camps and I be damned if we let this blatant Marxist gain dictatorial control over the United States of America!!!!!!!

Wake up people, enough is enough – or we might wake up tomorrow having elected Hugo Chavez II as dictator of America!

Civil rights groups also reacted today saying Eslocker’s arrest is the latest in a series of incidents at the DNC that exemplify an assault on the First Amendment.

Asa Eslocker and a camera crew were attempting to film and talk to Democratic senators and VIP donors leaving a private meeting at the hotel as part of a nightly news series on the corporate lobbyists and wealthy donors at the Democratic National Convention. Police arrested Eslocker and charged him with trespassing, failure to follow a lawful order, and interference with a police officer.

to Matt R —> “…40 years of conservative rule” ???

Good grief, almighty – where in the name of the lord did you receive your education? From one of our numerous failing public schools?? :)

That time span includes the waning year of dear LBJ, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton! All of whom do not appear to me as blazing conservatives by any stretch of the imagination.
And to top that off – we have had almost complete domination of Congress by the Democrats (minus 1994-2006) that dates back to the presidency of Harry S. Truman !!!!

What an example of our hard-earned tax dollars at work in public education and socialist indoctrination at our institutions of higher learning.

SuperSarge229   October 26th, 2008 - 3:54 pm

So much for freedom of the press under this new dictator! I wonder if we’ll ever get to have another election? It’s pretty obvious that it won’t matter once the liar is elected and puts ACORN in charge of helping the UN monitor all future US elections. I just can’t help but blame all the treasonous morons that elected the bastard!

pills9667@aol.com   October 26th, 2008 - 3:55 pm

I have heard it said lately that the Obama campaign has gone without a hitch…remarkably smooth. But this isn’t true. No more than a boil that is forming underneath which hasn’t gathered yet. Why do you think Obama is in such a rush for early voting? Could it be that he is afraid of what we will find out given just a little more time. Perhaps what the media has reported has given the impression of messiah Ogama, but the undersurface repressed information has been probably the most upsetting of any election we have known. Do I overstate this? I don’t think so. Just a little web surfing and it is SO there. And the people who are horrified by the signs of what they fear is happening will be joined by millions after just a few more slip ups like Biden has made along with the campaign’s facist reaction.
The kind of journalism in this broadcast is so rare these days with the “bought” stations that it gathers to it all truth seekers. They should have “prepped” poor Biden for questions that aren’t fashioned to flatter. Although I am concerned for the upcoming time of censorship of any voice that differs with the Obama administration, I am also reminded that truth repressed becomes much more precious, and actually fuels its strength of clarity. God be with us all. Suze

Peggy   October 26th, 2008 - 4:11 pm

This woman is a TRUE JOURNALIST! It should now be obvious that not a single member of the leftist media “has a set!” They are all drooling “thrill up my leg” Obama sniffing leftists who have soft-balled this Marxist Messiah from DAY ONE! Joe Biden came off looking like the fool he is and it now looks like the liberal bloggers and the Chicago Obama Machine will try to destroy this womans character much like they tried to do to Joe the Plumber AND to Sarah Palin! Is this how an Obama Presidency would operate? ABSOLUTELY! This team cannot allow hard, legitimate questions of their “leader” because it would reveal his true leftist, radical agenda for this country. And it would shed daylight on his America-hating, radical cohorts from Chicago, Bill Ayers, Rev. Wright, Tony Rezko, and ACORN!
Barack Obama and Joe Biden are bold-faced LIARS when they say they didn’t give ACORN over $830,000.00 to “get out the vote.” They even tried to cover it up by falsifying federal disclosure documents. When they were caught they did what they always do, LIE, OBFUSCATE, MINIMIZE AND COVER-UP! The hard questions of Barack Obama are coming about a year too late. It just may be the leftist loons among the liberal elite and the so-call “JOURNALISTS” of this great country will get what they have wanted all along, but I am hoping the GREAT SILENT MAJORITY of the 70’s will arise once again to knock this phony Messiah on his radical butt!

David   October 26th, 2008 - 4:44 pm

Say what you want. You can spread hatred and negativity, but I listen to the polarization of the two parties and it astounds me. If I take the issues (yes, the issues) and compare side by side, that is what I will use to base my vote. Not ridiculous questions from someone who can’t even write or ask a pertinent question. Mark, I’ll be standing next to you and Obama to help clean up the mess that Bush made. I do not think that Mc Cain woulsd make a bad President. I do not agree with many of his policies, but should something happen to him, are you kidding me. And I do not need to point out every mistake that Mcain has made. This has become ugly and partisan. No one could debate me and change my mind. I’m like a right wing Republican. I can’t hear you!!!!!! I am a registered Republican and I am embarreassed of my party, I mean, the Republican Party. Go Obama, Lets shut all of these right wing wacko’s up!!!! It’s going to be soooo sweet!!!!

Neal E   October 26th, 2008 - 5:39 pm

I notice that McCain/Palin didn’t cutoff CNN after that ambush interview with Palin, basically calling her stupid, disguised in a misquoted comment.

McCain /Palin are not afraid of reporters.

nichelle   October 26th, 2008 - 7:00 pm

Eileen, the Patriot, the one who speaks truth…

Along with all of the others who are opening our eyes to the blasphemy, hypocrisy, and deceptiveness of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, the Democrat party, their cronies and leftist followers. They may not see your message, they may not take your words to heart, they may not heed the blatant messages of danger in your posts, but they will surely feel the pain of regime like no other if we elect one of the most corrupt and disingenuous, unvetted, unscrupulous, inexperienced, waffling persons to ever run for public office. Thank you for your insight.

Fight for our democracy….

This site Ran THREE threads on Ashely Todd’s bogus mutilation story. THREE!
So attempting to demean MY IQ, when mine is the FIRST post on the FIRST thread that called the story complete BULLSH*T, tells EVERYTHING about who has the superior IQ.

Elizabeth   October 26th, 2008 - 9:12 pm

This is a truly frightening series of events!! How can anyone defend this blatant smothering of legitimate questioning of a candidate? The anchor woman was fair, candid and unrelenting in her questions.She was far more courteous than many of the MSM journalist have been. These are the questions being asked all over America, and they have been dodged, deflected,sneared atand dismissed. I am particulary concerned at the VOTE EARLY drive of Obama’s campaign. Does this also mean VOTE OFTEN. Of course, he would want to get the votes before the truth is discovered!! We are in a bad place, folks, when such stonewalling can be practiced in the “sunshine” of television coverage.

cablegirl   October 27th, 2008 - 6:39 am

I find it VERY interesting that Obama has not had an interview in 1 month except by softballer Mario Lopez. The liar said he could not get Jennifer Hudson’s telephone number to call her!~?! C’mon liar your crew was able to dig up plenty on Joe the Plumber!! Tell the truth Just once please you lying leftist liberal!!!

gw   October 27th, 2008 - 1:31 pm

It’s all our faults for allowing liberalism to get to where it’s at today. The folks that contribute the least to our great nation get promised the most by the dems and that’s who make up most of their voting block. The illegals are their next heroes. Teachers and women mean well, but blindly follow the gimmie crowd, I deserve it…

Sigh   October 27th, 2008 - 1:57 pm

Outside of Barney Frank, Biden’s the biggest jackass that the Democrats have. “I don’t know of anybody that believes that except the far right wing of the Republican Party.” Well, surprise moron, so do I, and I am an Independent. Both parties are full of crap. But to stop the bleeding we need to send this lying airbag home with his unqualified Messiah. Then we can work on kicking out ALL DEMOCRATS AND ALL REPUBLICANS since they are actors who work for the Globalists who want to tear down our great nation and make us submit to the UN in the name of “FREE TRADE”.

Ruth   October 27th, 2008 - 3:29 pm

Thank you, Barbara West, for asking a hard question. I support you 100%.

Ed   October 27th, 2008 - 4:42 pm

I don’t know if anyone in the comments section saw the same interview I did. She asked stupid questions, ridiculous questions, and Biden called her on it and shut her up. How in the world you could think Biden lost his cool is beyond me. Tax increases and tax breaks are not socialism, people. It’s America. Look it up, during Ronald Reagan’s term the highest tax bracket was 70%. In the 40’s through the 60’s, the highest tax bracket was in the 90% range. I guess those administrations, including Ronald Reagan’s were more socialist than Obama’s proposed adminstration. Get real. Obama’s statement was very simple, if you look at it in context. He said, if we grown the economy, everyone will do good, and we can spread the wealth around. The question might have been a tax related question by fake plumber, but the answer was all about growing the economy.

Virginia   October 27th, 2008 - 5:33 pm

Poor Ed of 4:42pm, you tried, Kid, but it just doesn’t fly. Your Boy Biden was completely livid, as described by even your synchophants the MSM. Read Obama’s own words, before you mouth off. The truth always hurts, and sniveling about it doesn’t change it!!! Kill the messenger, Right???

Jim Gammon   October 27th, 2008 - 5:57 pm

I heard what Obama “said” relative to spreading the wealth around, and if I recall correctly, that was also when he “said” he wanted to take the Rich Tax dollars and give them to people so they to can reach the American Dream.(paraphrased)

When he said that I told my wife that I could’t
believe he was Dumb enough to state his real purpose. I believe away from a microphone, he answers questions truer that in his speechs, which are scripted, reviewed, practiced, with more changes, and probably reviewed again.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING THIS WHOLE CAMPAIGN FOR JUST ONE PERSON TO ASK OBAMA HOW HIS PLAN DIFFERS FROM THAT SENTENCE IN THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO!

Joe Biden gave credible anwsers to the questions, but saying that all Obama wanted was to give the Middle Class a tax break was a lot of B.S. In addition to money he plans a whole host of Programs for the inter-city. Go to his Campaign Web Site and look under “Issues”. I was making a list and just quit around 20! It seems to be a Socialist Welfare Program that goes much further that providing a Safety Net for those who can’t make it.

GO MCCAIN!

Ed   October 27th, 2008 - 8:50 pm

Poor Virginia–I did read it. I am not sure you did. It is very clear that he is talking about a healthy economy being good for the middle class. If you are in the upper class, good, you can be mad. If you are in the middle class, you ought to be voting for Obama, as he wants the middle class to thrive.

“Because my attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody. If you’ve got a plumbing business, you’re gonna be better off if you’re gonna be better off if you’ve got a whole bunch of customers who can afford to hire you, and right now everybody’s so pinched that business is bad for everybody, and I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”

jg   October 27th, 2008 - 9:41 pm

i like how he says the next president will be McCain “and/or” Obama. Joint presidency? humm great concept! Good thing he’s the smart one! lol
