You can't get any more unbiased than "liberaland."

Just watch the damned video. It speaks for itself.

[The_Noble_Cause]

Let's see if ABC, The Associated Press, The Washington Monthly and MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann will make a correction.
Don't hold your breath.

Can't speak for the other news outlets, but Olbermann just made the correction.

Not that I care but from Drudge:

GALLUP SHOCK: 49 OBAMA, 47 MCCAIN WITH LIKELY VOTERS

Um...sorry, wrong again.

Latest Election Composite Polls

* McCain (R) 42.7% 164 electoral votes
* Obama (D) 49.5% 344 electoral votes

[treetopovskaya]

biden thinks *j-o-b-s* is a 3 letter word. hehehee. }:C)

obama thought (at one time... maybe still does... ha) there were 57 states.

palin isn't the only one having brain farts. }:C)

The only flaw in your argument is that McCain selected a dope, with a box of rocks in her head, as his running mate! I think many people in this election will be voting against Puppet Palin and not against John McCain!

Honestly... could she be any worse than VPs before her... Quayle, Gore, Cheney... they're all blockheads too if you ask me.

What's your point? The guy is probably a plant, and is full of shit anyway - he had no intention of buying that company.

The point is, most plumbers don't make that much money.

This does NOT compare, sorry. No way, never in a million years. Wrong, wrong, wrong again, Lie Finder.

Not the same thing at all. Obama meant he had criscrossed into 57 states (i.e. seven of them twice).

Obama's toenail clippings have more intellect than Palin. She is a dolt.

Whitman, on the other hand, is brilliant. She would have given McCain the Presidency.

[treetopovskaya]

so full of hate. sad.

Well lets see...right this minute Sarah is speaking to 15,000 in Bangor,Maine. Some 20,000 saw HER in Penn. Close to 30,000 saw HER in Va at the race track. On the other hand Biden WITH Bill and Hill drew 3,000 the other day. Hmmmm.....

Virginia International Raceway

Listen Republican Ass Kisser...I could give a fuck how many people Puppet Palin draws. She drew 12 people at Salem High School in New Hampshire yesterday, and 11 of them were custodians, washing the floor I don't care if Palin fills a 100,000 person arena. It doesn't change the fact that she's a fucking moron, who needs to get back to Alaska to kill some animals, before hunting season ends!

Dude, feel free to be stupid enough to actually believe this. But don't expect anybody else to. You've got to be kidding me. You're bending over backwards to excuse his stupid comment is.....uh, nevermind you're hopeless.

She hasn't said anything half as stupid as Obama or Biden.

Negating capitalism and calling a good American with no blemishes on his record a terrorist, and subsequently calling for his assassination, are in different moral hemispheres.

This is the most ludicrous claim you've ever made.

In her two months in the limelight, she has said more stupid things than Biden and Obama have, combined, in their careers.

Pandering to lowest-common-denominator racists at political rallies with outright lies is equivalent to inciting a riot.

[The_Noble_Cause]

She hasn't said anything half as stupid as Obama or Biden.

Not being able to name ONE single news periodical is an all time low for American politics.
Palin is in a backwater league all her own.

[treetopovskaya]

which brings up a point...

i thought clinton was the first black prez? }:C)

no one is naive john from b town... we all know too painfully well that racism does indeed exist... but to imply that ALL reps must be racist or even saying the majority must be is just wrong. remember the whole arnel thing? people were thinking all us here were racist (in some degree) because of a few mean comments? was that fair? tho some comments were racist... i would never call someone out & put that label on them. some peeps just speak without thinking i guess. anyway... those idiots (at the mccain rallies) that yelled out such hateful things in no way whatsoever now or will ever speak for me.

you are VERY naive if you think that there won't be a percentage of people who don't vote for him, because the color of his skin!

As are you if you think the 90+ percent he received over Hillary during the primary wasn't because the color of his skin. Especially after all that the Clinton's did for blacks.

There's a difference between not being able to and unwilling to. She explained that she was torn whether to answer the questions or divert the conversation to push the campaign's agenda. Now would either you or 7 Wishes like to dig for some dumb Palin quotes while I pull out my Obama/Biden 1/2 hour comedy hour?

Just like I told TNC. Go ahead and pull out some stupid Palin quotes and I'll start reply with my Obama/Biden 1/2 hour comedy hour and prove you wrong AGAIN!!!!!

Exactly, she's a christian who feels that are troops in Iraq are doing the Lord's work. If the WMD'S were moved to Syria, how come we're not over there? They have done more covert damage to us than Iraq ever has. Did God leave that part out when him and George were having their brain storming session about invading Iraq?
You don't need to feel sorry for us. As you Christians always point out, we'll get our just deserts. After all, God is not only just but very petty and vindictive isn't he?

Listen asshole...don't question my dedication as a sports fan. I picked the Rays to win, because they are simply the better team, period, end of story. I don't predict victory for my hometown team, just because of geography. I have eyes, and have an opinion as to who should win what. It doesn't mean it always works out that way. I thought the Patriots would beat the Giants in the Super Bowl, and still believe the Patriots had the better team. Sometimes in sports, the better team doesn't always win. In this case, it is working out for the Rays. I like their team a lot. They have a solid field manager and a good young team. Because Philadelphia is one of the great sports cities in America and has MUCH better fans, I'll be pulling for the Phillies in the World Series, but wouldn't be shocked if the Devil Dogs pulled it off! Also, Philadelphia hasn't won a single championship since I believe 1983, so they are WAY overdue!

For the love of God, don't get your twat in a twist.
You and I have differing philosphies on our levels of team devotion...I'll leave it at that.

I'll ask you again...what wasn't negative about this comment?
John from Boston

Nothing was negative.
Play your game on someone else, son.

Bullshit, bullshit, BULLSHIT!

She could have damned well answered the question with ONE WORD...ONE EXAMPLE...

and THEN "pushed the campaign's agenda".

She is a MORON. Pure and simple.

That might've been her convenient post-facto spin fed to Sean Hannity, but when the question was asked in real time by Couric (3 times, no less!) Palin froze.
Like her non-answer answer about Supreme Court history, there was nothing pre-meditated about it.
Elections shouldn't be made or broken by trivial shit, but c'mon, really?
Not even one newspaper?
Or website?
Newsmax?
WND?
Free Republic?

I don't have anything against Christians but I think Palin's brand of Christianity is too extreme. I don't want her in the White House influencing anyone. If I'm a bigot, so be it.

Fact Finder, if Angelina Jolie sat on your face, but right before she did, Sean Hannity told you it was actually Rosie O'Donnell's ass, would your gag reflex kick in before she did the deed? A pile of dog crap is a pile of dog crap.

This is the most ludicrous claim you've ever made.

You can back up this comment and expose my claim ludicrous.

So you know -- going through the history of America, there would be others but--"
Couric: "Can you think of any?"
Palin: "Well, I could think of -- of any again, that could be best dealt with on a more local level. Maybe I would take issue with. But you know, as mayor, and then as governor and even as a Vice President, if I'm so privileged to serve, wouldn't be in a position of changing those things but in supporting the law of the land as it reads today." --unable to name any Supreme Court decisions other than Roe v.

We-- we do-- it's very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where-- where do they go?

i did & saw/heard nothing like what is being shown on tv... not saying it's not happening but i thinks it's just a handful of idiots. racism is spread all over. sad. it is sad.

It was on MSNBC over and over all day long.
