The McCain campaign is out with a new ad calling Barack Obama “too dangerous for America”:
The Washington Post’s Howard Kurtz argues that McCain isn’t exactly telling the truth here:
Analysis: This John McCain ad blatantly distorts Barack Obama’s words in an effort to paint him as callous about the role of the U.S. military.
The commercial truncates a comment that Obama made to a voter in New Hampshire in August 2007. According to the Associated Press, the Illinois senator brought up Afghanistan when asked whether he would withdraw troops form Iraq to fight terrorism elsewhere: “We’ve got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we’re not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous pressure over there.” In short, Obama was saying he wanted to avoid just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, not that this was all that American troops were doing. His meaning was the opposite of what is portrayed in this spot. Civilian casualties have been rising in Afghanistan this year, and Defense Secretary Robert Gates last month apologized for U.S. airstrikes that have killed civilians.
Obama voted against Republican legislation to continue an open-ended commitment in Iraq after President Bush vetoed a Democratic bill to link funding to a timetable for withdrawal. He did not intend to cut off funding for American troops any more than McCain did in urging Bush to reject the Democratic measure.

Questioning the American Bolshevik views
1. Is wealth redistribution taking money from stockholders and redistributing it to those who don’t pay taxes?
2. Is it more important to make sure that illegal votes are not disenfranchised or making sure that groups like ACORN do not nullify honest votes.
3. Would premature U.S. withdrawal from Iraq grand jihadists a victory and make all of our accomplishments, money spent and lives lost a big waist?
4. Can this country afford to grant socialist Democrats total control of the government and allow them to sacrifice our safety by cutting the military budget by 25%?
Now comes the big question. How do we stop socialism from ruining our lives?
The answer is simple. Don’t vote American Bolsheviks into power and boycott the socialist propaganda media into bankruptcy.

I agree. You are totally on. Today is our last chance to spread the information to our less informed friends –especially youth. Don’t give up. Why not organize info parties? Everyone will be camped in long voting lines. All you need to do is be organized. Carry a laptop. Share some choice links with the surrounding people. Show these nice strangers all that the media has been hiding. Explain what totalitarianism will look like in America.
Show people that Obama will set back even blacks hundreds of years –productive, successful blacks will lose everything and everyone will live like a Cuban –desperate, half-starved, lacking basic incentive, barely alive.
Come on, America. Today is our big day. We can get rid of this thug by voting for the better choice!
