selection '08: debates, rebates, horseshit & more

obamccain clash over iraniraq in first debate
obamccain clash over iraniraq in first debatefrom dpa: Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain clashed in their first debate Friday night over the war in Iraq and whether the next person to occupy the White House should meet with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The two candidates disagreed sharply over the future course in Iraq, with Obama pitching his plan to set a timeframe for withdrawing most US combat forces from Iraq. McCain charged that any premature pullout would allow Iraq to slide into chaos and endanger US interests in the region. 'You were wrong,' Obama told McCain, who supported President George W Bush's decision to invade Iraq in March 2003 to topple Saddam Hussein's regime. McCain sought to emphasize Obama's lack of experience by saying that some of the foreign policies his opponent advocates are 'naive' and 'dangerous.'

mccain says 'horseshit' during debate?
from op-ed news: McCain loses his temper and says it not once, but twice. See the video, you be the judge.

tell the truth about obama in missouri & go to jail
from kurt nimmo: In Missouri, if you “lie” about Barack Obama the cops may arrest you. “The effort appeared to be part of a move by the Obama campaign to block advertisements to which it objects. The campaign also sent ‘threatening’ letters to several news agencies in Pennsylvania and Ohio demanding they stop airing ads exposing Obama’s gun stance, according to the National Rifle Association,” writes WorldNetDaily, never mind Obama is a gun-grabber who claims to support the Second Amendment.

fox tries to coverup mccain’s role in keating five
from raw story: The Keating Five scandal, and John McCain's role in it, has received relatively little mention in presidential campaign coverage, and at least one Fox News host seems dedicated to keeping it that way. Appearing Thursday morning on Fox & Friends, radio host Mike Papantonio tried to remind viewers about McCain's intervention with federal regulators on behalf of real estate mogul Charles Keating, who was trying to avoid regulations of a savings and loan he owned during the S&L crisis of the 1980s. F&F's Steve Doocy told Papantonio to "pipe down," called him "rude" and demanded he "cut it out." A show producer could be overheard saying "cut his mike." As Papantonio tries one last time to explain the details of the Keating Five scandal, Doocy again cuts him off. "This is not the History Channel," he says.
