Obama notes McCain's effort to temper GOP anger

"I appreciated his reminder that we can disagree while still being respectful of each other," Obama told supporters in Philadelphia. He said McCain "has served this country with honor, and he deserves our thanks for that."

[Seeking truth]

Our opponents try to stir up doubt and fear by questioning who Barack really is -- as if after more than a decade in public office, more than 20 months on the campaign trail, dozens of debates, two books written by him and dozens more about him, people still don't have enough information to decide for themselves who should lead our country.

Millions of Americans have gotten to know Barack Obama as an American who's devoted his life to things bigger than himself -- his community, his country, and ordinary citizens looking for a voice.

Our challenge now is to do the same -- to devote these last weeks to a cause bigger than ourselves.

These tough economic times make our cause more urgent and the stakes even higher. Barack needs your help to win this election and bring the change we need to Washington.

Can you give a day of your time during the last four days of the election?

We, "true Americans," need to ask ourselves this:

Do we really want to go ahead and toss all of our American values aside and put a man in the White House who the Muslims hail as "their messiah?"

A bit of history hiding behind the ideology of Obama's associate Bill Ayers…

Approved by the All-Russia Central Executive Committee of the Soviets of Workers’, Soldiers’, Peasants’ and Cossacks’ Deputies, April 22, 1918.

I__ a son of the working people and a citizen of the Soviet Republic, assume the title of a soldier of the Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army.
Before the working class of Russia and of the whole world I pledge myself to bear this title with honor, to study the art of war conscientiously, and to protect, like the apple of my eye, all public and military property from damage and robbery.
I pledge myself to observe revolutionary discipline strictly and unflaggingly, and to obey without question all orders given by commanders appointed by the Workers’ and Peasants’ Government.
I pledge myself to abstain from any action derogatory to the dignity of a citizen of the Soviet Republic, and to restrain my comrades from such action, and to direct all my thoughts and deeds towards the great goal of the emancipation of all the working people.
I pledge myself to respond to the first call from the Workers’ and Peasants’ Government to defend the Soviet Republic against any dangers and attacks from any enemy, and to spare neither my strength nor my life in the fight for the Russian Soviet Republic and for the cause of socialism and the brotherhood of the peoples.
If ever, with evil intent, I should depart from this my solemn promise, may the scorn of all be my lot and may the stern hand of revolutionary law punish me.

Some of the political views of Barack Obama's associate, Bill Ayers...

In an interview published in 1995, Ayers characterized his political beliefs at that time and in the 1960s and 1970s: "I am a radical, Leftist, small 'c' communist ...[Laughs] Maybe I'm the last communist who is willing to admit it.[Laughs] We have always been small 'c' communists in the sense that we were never in the [Communist] party and never Stalinists. The ethics of Communism still appeal to me. I don't like Lenin as much as the early Marx. I also like Henry David Thoreau, Mother Jones and Jane Addams [...]"[27] In 1970 Ayers was called "a national leader"[28] of the Weatherman organization and "one of the chief theoreticians of the Weathermen".[ 29] The Weathermen were initially part of the Revolutionary Youth Movement (RYM) within the SDS, splitting from the RYM's Maoists by claiming there was no time to build a vanguard party and that revolutionary war against the United States government and the capitalist system should begin immediately. Their founding document called for the establishment of a "white fighting force" to be allied with the "Black Liberation Movement" and other "anti-colonia l" movements[30] to achieve "the destruction of US imperialism and the achievement of a classless world: world communism."[3 1] In June 1974, the Weather Underground released a 151-page volume titled Prairie Fire, which stated: "We are a guerrilla organization [...] We are communist women and men underground in the United States

Barack Obama was not 8 years old when he launched his political career from the home of Bill Ayers. Or was Barack Obama 8 years old when he served on the board of the Woods Fund of Chicago with Bill Ayers. Barack Obama shares much of the political ideology of Bill Ayers...He just will not admit it just like it will not admit his association with Rev. Jermiah Wright was a mistake or that the Troop Surge has been successful or has he ever went against his own Party…he’s a stick in the mud.

[JohnInLa]

If Barack Obama had his way he would have denied Operation Iraqi Freedom and passed his fight with Saddam & Sons to today's little American kids who would grow up to face a much, much more costly and deadly Iraq war in the future...And if Barack Obama’s vote against the surge was followed it would have been disastrous resulting in more US Causalities with an eventual retreat and Iraq laid at the feet of terrorists…
Only a self-serving community organizer would leave the future that unorganized for their children.

How could we think about electing someone president whose name is OBAMA after 9/11? Does anyone see the irony here?

[Just An Observer]

That's how Hitler rose to power, economic hard times, and hatred mongering. We all know how well that turned out. We are Americans, and WE CAN DO BETTER! We are a beacon around the globe for a force of good and peacefulness. For compassion, for humanity.

If people wee informed, or knew the violent history of the far left, relatively few would vote for Obama.

Obama is the candidate the Left has been waiting for 40 years.

Don't you notice NO ONE on the left criticizes Obama...

Even the Communist Party USA, the American "branch office" for the massively oppressive Soviet Union - the most oppressive & murderous system of government is recorded history - says:

"The struggle to defeat the ultra-right and turn our country on a positive path will not end with Obama’s election. But that step will shift the ground for successful struggles going forward."

Yes, Obama needs more money to buy fake POLES. Fake POLES are very important during election time so they can prop up those slanted ads. I wonder if we can recognize a fake POLE when we see one? Maybe we could attach many fake POLES together and make a giant tent like the GOP!

[MyNameIsMO]

It's over, McCain is starting his concession speeches early it seems.

For what it's worth, Bill Ayers can be considered an American Hero for his work in stopping the VietNam war.

There will be sacrifices though, in the face of fascism.
Ignorant neocon morons today don't even remember what VietNam was all about. Here's a hint, it wasn't about communism or stopping it.

[Kehaulani]

Now that's the respectable McCain I know.

Kudos to him for showing his intergrity again and standing up to ridiculous claims against his opponent.

Plain and simple, both just need to stick to the facts and reiteritate your own policies while keeping the fight clean. Showing dignity to one another while still being able to be contrasting.

There's no need for either to display any abhorence when we have bigger fish to fry right now.

PoLEs?

Maybe it's pretty silly to acknowledge, but you're obviously trying to drive a point. A point that'll get lost in the mix because of the glaring mistake.(Not mention that the idea's absurd, but that's just the "cynical of hasty and unsubstantiated claims" in me.)

Here's a little help for you though, from the other side:

Lol, don't worry about John. Nobody really takes him seriously. He's just the equivalent of the crazy old guy in the park preaching about armageddon. People just walk by and don't give him a second thought.

If you give enough time, John can play 6-degrees-of-Obama with the best of them. He can connect Obama to Soviet conspiracies, crop circles, UFOs, Ayers, Hitler, the tooth fairy and the easter bunny.

He gets most of his material from Fox News and that annoying spam in your email account.

Don't be surprised if he gets on the board and tells you that he won 5 million pound from the UK lottery or that some Nigerian guy just notified him that he won 20 million dollars lol.

I don't believe this kind of stuff, but even if it were true, I'd say screw it. The GOP was handed the election in 2000, so this is karma coming around full circle, but the GOP will be on the wrong side this time.
