Woman Denies Treats to Obama Supporters on Halloween

Shirley Nagel of Grosse Pointe Farms refused to give candy to Obama Trick-Or-Treaters this Halloween. Although this woman is not a candidate, we had to include this here as another example of the divisive mindset of many McCain supporters. It's us and them, Pro-America and Anti-America. Her actions will likely influence a generation of children in her neighborhood, scarred by her hate, who will grow up to be life-long Democrats. These children will forever remember the Republican witch who wouldn't give them candy on Halloween, I bet they really wish they could vote in this election.

McCain supporters like to pass around an email about how the Obama house does Halloween ~ "Take candy from the big bags, and pass it out to the kids that did not go trick or treating" ~ a sick attempt at humor about Obama being a socialist. Well, here you have a shining example of McCain's capitalistic communism (it's no accident that they are the Red States) at work ~ "Only those who think like us and look like us are allowed to participate in the sharing of the candy".

Interesting that this story broke on a Fox (Red News) affiliate, did they think this was a good campaign tactic?

Note: While we acknowledge this woman's right to exercise her free speech, we are still appalled by the divisive way that she chose to exercise it. We need to strive to unite, not divide. In one of the latest (vile, divisive, hate-filled, full of lies and distortions) Anti-Abortion fliers to make the rounds in PA, it says "As Americans, we are taught to love our neighbor.", is this what they mean? Protect innocent babies from abortion (which nobody, including Obama, is against doing), but once they are born and alive here in our world, it's okay to be vile and cruel to these innocent children?

New Poll Shows Bachmann's (R-MN) McCarthyist Comments are Widely Known and Hurting Her: Bachmann Adds Lies to Her Arsenal

79% heard or have heard of Bachmann's comment, 68% disagree with it. Voters are punishing Bachmann. Nearly 4 out of 10 voters report that they are now less likely to support the Congresswoman compared to 8 percent who indicate they are more supportive.
see poll here...

First McCarthyism, now lies. Bachmann uses a TV commercial and a new web site to repeat the allegations of wrongdoing. But there's no indication Tinklenberg broke any laws, only that he was trying to streamline the bid process and save the taxpayers money. Bachmann and Tinklengerg debated today on Minnesota Public Radio and, from what we've seen and heard so far, there was no mention of MNDOT in the debate, apparently not a valid enough allegation to bring it up to Tinklenberg's face.

Elizabeth Dole (R) NC Stoops Below the Lowest of the Low, Portrays Opponent as a Godless American

First of all, this is a free country, with laws about separation of church and state, that should preclude this from being an issue at all. It's even more egregious because it is absolutely and completely false. Dole shows us that she is the Godless one by stooping this low.

Dole's new ad falsely accuses Kay Hagan of being an atheist when the fact is that she is a Sunday School teacher and an elder at her Presbyterian church. It is one thing to question your opponent's record and ideology, it is beyond despicable to bald-faced lie in your attempt to do so.



This from Dole's own website:

"Kay Hagan is trying to run a campaign in North Carolina that casts her as a moderate but the money that's paying for it is coming from the left-wing fringe of political thought," said Dole Campaign Communications Director Dan McLagan. "You can tell a lot about a person by their friends and these are friends most North Carolinians would not be comfortable having over for dinner."

Hagan's campaign is being largely funded by labor unions intent on ending North Carolina's status as a right to work state, liberal trial lawyers and ultra left wing groups like MoveOn.org which is a deeply anti-military organization. Now Hagan has added anti-religion activists from Boston Massachusetts to the list.

"Kay Hagan does not represent the values of this state; she is a Trojan Horse for a long list of wacky left-wing outside groups bent on policies that would horrify most North Carolinians if they knew about it," McLagan said. "This latest revelation of support from anti-religion activists will not sit well with the 90% of state residents who identify with a specific religious faith."

Kay Hagan's response (maybe you helped to pay for this?)


Help show Dole the power of the "left-wing fringe of political thought", show her that there is a VERY "long list of wacky left-wing outside groups", don't let her ridiculous, divisive, Godless rhetoric help her win.

Bryan Rudnick Republican Political Consultant

McCain campaign stoops to its very lowest yet in bid to win Pennsylvania. Rudnick takes the fall, but ask yourself if you really believe their plausible deniability.

From an e-mail was sent Thursday morning to 75,000 Jewish voters:

"Jewish Americans cannot afford to make the wrong decision on Tuesday, November 4th, 2008," the e-mail reads. "Many of our ancestors ignored the warning signs in the 1930s and 1940s and made a tragic mistake. Let's not make a similar one this year!"

The email says "Paid for by the Republican Federal Committee of PA - Victory 2008."

It warns "Fellow Jewish Voters" of the danger of a second Holocaust due to the threats to Israel from its neighbors and touts Republican presidential candidate John McCain's qualifications over those of Obama.

The e-mail also accuses Obama of teaching members of the community group ACORN "to commit voter registration fraud" during his years as a community activist.

Republican officials say they've fired Rudnick and that he was not authorized to send the emails. Rudnick claims that he had authorization from party officials to send the email, but declined to say who they were. Looks like he's willing to take the fall to save the other guilty parties.

Florida WFTV anchor Barbara West Makes FoxNews Actually Look Fair and Balanced

Watch this ridiculous excuse for a news anchor interviewing Joe Biden. We had to make a new category just for her: ludicrous insanity. She digs with John McCain's talking points and lies in a way that is absolutely shameful. Joe Biden was absolutely masterful.



Watch her softball John McCain in a way that is more like a job interview for press secretary than any form of journalism.

Send a complaint to her general manager now. Here's the link to the contact form: http://www.wftv.com/contact/

Look for the checkbox "WFTV/WRDQ General Manager" (the 5th one down on the contact form). If you prefer to call, the news director's name is Bob Jordan 407-841-9000. If the offices are closed, dial 8 after the message for the station directory, enter Jordan Bob (567326262) to be put through to an operator, tell them you want to leave a message for Bob Jordan on his voice mail.

Here's what we sent, to help get you started:

Dear WFTV Gen. Mgr. - I have just watched the videos, online, of the interviews your Barbara West conducted - one with Sen. John McCain and one with Sen. Joe Biden. With all due respect, [add your own comments here]

Update 1, 28 October, 2008
We received this response from WFTV today:

From: "Eyewitness News (CTV-Orlando)"
To: redacted
Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2008 08:31:51 -0400
Subject: Web Form Submission Response
Dear Viewer:

Thank you for taking time to contact us regarding Barbara West's recent interview with democratic Vice Presidential candidate Senator Joe Biden.

The Obama campaign contacted us last week offering Senator Biden, via satellite, for a short interview. Barbara West, one of our most experienced anchors, was asked to interview Senator Biden, just as she had been on previous occasions.

It is our goal at Eyewitness News when interviewing any political candidate or public official to ask them a direct question about an issue currently in the public debate. Last week, when much of the political discourse centered on Senator Obama's statement to 'Joe the Plumber' that he thought 'sharing the wealth' was a good idea, Barbara decided to ask Senator Biden just how far an Obama-Biden administration would go in 'sharing the wealth'. What followed was very pointed, provocative question. We allowed Senator Biden to answer, fully unedited.

We tell our reporters and news anchors to ask the questions that one of our viewers might ask. For example, when Senator Obama visited Lakeland recently, Barbara (knowing her time with a presidential candidate would be limited) asked Senator Obama two questions: first, about drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico; and, second, about his position on the space program. The Senator's answers dominated the news cycle for the next day.

You can see all of Barbara's interviews with political candidates at WFTV.com including one she just did Monday with Senator John McCain.

Perhaps more than any other presidential election in recent memory, this current election has stirred passions - some of them quite partisan - in many people. Through it all, we believe our mission is to address vital issues that we will face together, regardless of our own personal views with thorough, even handed reporting.

Again, thank you for taking the time to contact us.

Barbara West's husband, Wade West, is a Republican political strategist. Here's an excerpt from his SolgamesUSA company website (his political and media consulting company website now gives a "Forbidden" error):

His media communication and fundraising skills have made him a popular consultant for political candidates ranging from local elections, to more than 85 [Republication] members of Congress and members of the President’s [Bush] cabinet.

Here's an excerpt from Barbara West's bio on the WFTV website:

I am married to Wade West, an international media consultant to politicians, professionals and organizations. Together we often serve as auctioneers at various fundraising events throughout the state.

The fact that West's husband is a [Republican] political strategist, and that there was no mention of this, nor even a hint of an apology, in their response indicates to us that WFTV "News" are also Republican political strategists. At the very least, they believe that the fact that they interviewed John McCain as well as Joe Biden means that they are fair and balanced journalists. The antagonistic nature of the questions to one vs. the softball nature of the questions to the other is not relevant to them.

Elizabeth Dole (R-NC)

North Carolina Republicans send out homophobic mailings against Democratic Senate candidate Kay Hagan.

The North Carolina Republican State Executive Committee has sent out homophobic mailers targeting Senate candidate Kay Hagan (D), who is challenging Sen. Elizabeth Dole (R).

The mailings warn that Hagan seeks to advance a "radical homosexual agenda" that includes legalizing gay marriage, removing "Under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance, and forcing the Boy Scouts to accept gay and atheist troop leaders.

"Empower Texans" chaired by Tim Dunn (R) of Midland, TX

Swift Boat funder Robert Perry, a top national Republican donor, is funding overtly racist attack mail, it's not Swift Boating, it's Race Boating.

A group called "Empower Texans," chaired by Tim Dunn of Midland, an associate of Republican Texas House Speaker Tom Craddick, attacked Democratic state House candidate Joel Redmond of Pasadena with a direct mail piece featuring fuzzy images of black and Hispanic lawmakers (plus Barack Obama), several black birds resembling crows, and a picture of the white Redmund. The tag line: "Birds of a feather flock together."

Anyone with any racial sensitivity gets the meaning of the mailer: Redmond has betrayed whites by befriending people of color. He can't be trusted.

This mailer attack was to smear Joel Redmond (D) TX

Michele Bachmann (R) MN

"What I would say is that the news media should do a penetrating expose and take a look. I wish they would. I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out: Are they pro-America or anti-America? I think people would love to see an expose like that."
