AIM: AP Lies About Obama’s Red Mentor
by

on Tue 05 Aug 2008 09:12 PM EDT
The influential Associated Press (AP) wire service has belatedly run a story about Barack Obama’s Marxist mentor without mentioning the smoking-gun evidence that the mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, was a Communist Party member. The dishonest story, which represents damage control for the Obama campaign, was written by AP writer Sudhin Thanawala. More>>>
IBD: Pelosi's Planet
by

on Tue 05 Aug 2008 07:00 PM EDT
When challenged in an interview with Politico.com about her bullheaded refusal to let Republicans submit energy policies for approval, Pelosi resorted to risible hyperbole to justify her iron-fisted rule of the House parliamentary process. "I'm trying to save the planet; I'm trying to save the planet," she responded. Maybe she should just try to save herself from the embarrassment that comes with spouting such inanities. More>>>

ABC News' Gregory Wallace and Sara Just Report: Sen. John McCain, R-Az., perhaps unknowingly, volunteered his wife for a beauty pageant on Monday that often features contestants topless -- and, occasionally, without any decency -- at the Sturgis, South Dakota, motorcycle rally. "I was looking at the Sturgis schedule, and noticed that you had a beauty pageant, so I encouraged Cindy to compete," McCain told an audience at the rally. "I told her [that] with a little luck, she could be the only woman to serve as both the First Lady and Miss Buffalo Chip." More>>>

Russians are 'systematically doping': Olympics drugs czar

"I find it frustrating that such planned cheating is still going on. I am very disappointed. "Of course, the procedure is still going on and it is for the Russian federation to find out what was going on," added Ljungqvist, who said that at the Olympics there would be targetted dope testing based on informatinon gathered. The Russian scandal arose last week when the IAAF provisionally suspended seven leading Russian female athletes - five of whom were in the Russian Olympic squad - for the suspected switching of urine samples in drug tests last year.

A man who wore press credentials and took photographs from a platform interrupted Barack Obama's town-hall meeting Tuesday by shouting complaints that the Democratic presidential candidate had not called for the audience to say the Pledge of Allegiance. Obama invited the heckler to lead the audience in the pledge, and he did. Attendees at the gathering in the gymnasium at Baldwin Wallace College in this Cleveland suburb rose to their feet and recited the pledge. "Thank you, sir, appreciate it," Obama told the man. More>>>
Why Cover the Edwards Scandal?
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Tue 05 Aug 2008 05:03 PM EDT
Why write about the Edwards scandal? Here's a short clip-and-save response to those (including many friends) who argue the Edwards scandal shouldn't be pursued--or at least pursued too vigorously-- even if it is true:** 1. No"private citizen": Edwards was certainly a contender for VP, or a big cabinet post like Attorney General, or even the Supreme Court, before the scandal first erupted in the "undernews" in late 2007 More>>>

U.S.: Iran's Response to Incentives Package Unacceptable
by
Riley Jones
on Tue 05 Aug 2008 03:51 PM EDT
Iran's response to an incentives package aimed at defusing a dispute over its nuclear program is unacceptable, making the prospect of new sanctions more likely, U.S. officials said Tuesday.
The officials told The Associated Press that a one-page document that Iran presented to European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana is not a definitive reply to the offer from major world powers but rather a restatement of Tehran's earlier insistence on the right to conduct peaceful nuclear activities.

GOP'ers protest over energy -- best show in town
by

on Tue 05 Aug 2008 12:28 PM EDT
This is Day Two of the GOP revolt over energy, and the debate is taking place in a darkened House floor with no microphones, no lights and no C-SPAN cameras (on orders of the Democratic speaker). So Republican congressmen pushing for an up-or-down vote on offshore oil drilling have taken to twittering...posting Qik and YouTube videos and corralling unsuspecting tourists to plead their case to the public.

Pelosi firm: No vote on offshore drilling
by

on Tue 05 Aug 2008 12:08 PM EDT
Pelosi called proposals to allow more offshore drilling a deceptive "decoy" rather than a solution and indicated she would bar a vote on any bill that included it. "I'm not giving the gavel away to a tactic … that supports the oil (companies)... In other words, the average workaday American can expect no relief from this beholden-to-the-environmentalists Congress - Roland More>>>

Thousands of motorcyclists greeted Republican presidential candidate John McCain with an approving roar Monday as he sought blue-collar and heartland support by visiting a giant motorcycle rally.

Does a Poll Drop Count As an Emergency?
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Tue 05 Aug 2008 11:12 AM EDT
I know I've been away for a few days, and while I was gone, no running mates were picked but polls shifted in McCain's favor. But let's ease back into the Campaign Spot with the latest edition of our continuing series, Obama's statements and their expiration dates. OBAMA'S STATEMENT: "The reserve should only be used in the event of an emergency, and that we shouldn't be tapping the reserve to provide a small, short-term decrease in gas prices." — August 31, 2005 EXPIRATION DATE: Today: "Democrat Barack Obama called today for tapping the nation's strategic oil reserves to help drive down gasoline prices, a shift from his previous position on the issue." All Barack Obama statements come with an expiration date. All of them. UPDATE: Of course, the RNC notes Obama was arguing against tapping into the strategic oil reserves a lot more recently than August 2005: "I do not believe that we should use the strategic oil reserves at this point. I have said and, in fact, supported a congressional resolution that said that we should suspend putting more oil into the strategic oil reserve, but the strategic oil reserve, I think, has to be reserved for a genuine emergency. You have a situation, let's say, where there was a major oil facility in Saudi Arabia that was destroyed as a consequence of terrorist acts, and you suddenly had huge amounts of oil taken out of the world market, we wouldn't just be seeing $4-a-gallon oil. We could see a situation where entire sectors of the country had no oil to function at all. And that's what the strategic oil reserve has to be for." (Sen. Barack Obama, Remarks At Media Availability, St. Louis, MO, 7/7/08) More>>>

Web loggers who are campaigning against Senator Obama's presidential run are accusing Google and Obama supporters of silencing them after their Web logs were marked as spam and their accounts temporarily frozen. On Thursday, hours after publishing a post about an online petition demanding that Mr. Obama publicly produce his birth certificate, an associate professor of business administration at Brooklyn College, Mitchell Langbert, found that he could no longer access his Web log.
