THIS IS CALLED TREASON
Mark as offensive

Keep slinging and spending your energy on distractions. None of the bull will stick We are too mad about the economy to focus on anything else right now.

You bet it is Treason, and just one more of a hundred reasons why B. Hussein Obama is "dangerous" and the least qualified Presidential nominee in U.S. history. He shouldn't be placed in the Oval Office. He should be placed in a jail cell, along with his friends at Acorn and other friends like Tony Rezko.

Why is it that everytime Obama is caught in some wrong doing, it is always the fault of someone else. (His application to run for senator in Illinois - "someone on my staff filled it out" but it was his handwriting, Obama camp paid $800,000- Obama spokesman said Federal Election Commission reports would be amended to show Citizens Services Inc. -- a subsidiary of ACORN -- worked in "get-out-the-vote" projects, instead of activities such as polling, advance work and staging major events as stated in FEC finance reports filed during the primary. - that suddenly became a clerical error when it was reported - or how Obama lied and called others liars when they said he voted on infanticide in Illinois and then his own campaign had to admit to the truth - or how he said that he was going to bring the troops home by March 2008 and then in another video said he never said that. Thank goodness for you tube and the people who embed them so when they are "removed" they are still here for proof of words. There is not enough space to enumerate all of the lies. Just words - hmmm.

This is outrageous! How can America trust Obama? Why should we? VOTE McCain/Palin to keep America secure.

You know how you could really scare people from voting for him? Dogfighting. Try that. Make up a few sources, place Obama near a few dogs AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT and see if it sticks. I mean, hell, what do you have to lose? Oh yeah, an election.

Wake up America! Obama is not to be trusted. I pray that this voter fraud is resolved before the election. The breaking news tonight out of Ohio with the Secretary of State being ordered by a Federal Judge to stop the early voting registration and voting is an excellent example of FRAUD! This on top of a few other states doing the same thing and Obama paying ACORN to register voters is typical Chicago Politics.

Nice Repub hit piece to attempt to take attention from Palin's Troopergate investigation report being released tomorrow. But unfortunately it's not enough. Furthermore, what the "author" of this story doesn't seem to understand is that this story has been published previously, and was thoroughly debunked. Not the least of which because to even think that something like this would be done defies all logic and reason. But, because nothing Obama said to the Iraqi's was in line with the lies being spouted by the "journalist" who wrote this article. Because the fact of the matter is that other senators such as Sen. Lugar and Sen Hagel of Nebraska urged talking over any agreements that would commit U.S. troops and civilian contractors to Iraq , which is in line with what was actually done. What was not done though was the absurd conspiracy theory that seems to be the thesis of this "article."

This has already been debunked by Republican leaders. http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/09/undermining-mcc.html This is shoddy journalism based on one source which cannot be verified.

And for those yelling Treason. Treason is supporting secession from your country which is what Sarah and Todd Palin, as the former is a supporter of AIP (Alaskan Independence Party) and the latter Sarah's husband was a member. Now for those who don't know the Alaskan Independence Party is a political party started by Jon Vogler in 1973, whose stated purpose is to push for Alaska to secede from the USA. Now if that's not treason I don't know what is. And Sarah Palin just this year recorded a video welcome message for that party ( you can find it on youtube). And in the message she talked about Alaskan self-sufficiency. Now between this and her husband's Todd Palin former membership in the organization Americans should be quite worried and concerned that the potential next VP is engaging in treason against the USA.

This is as far as an article can be expected to be fair from the Washington Times. What I don't get is why this is any more news than when the New York Post reported the same story. Some guy overheard his superior on a call that he wasn't privy to the entire conversation, and is trying to stir up trouble in an election. It sounds like Obama was speaking on behalf of his congressional position and not a president, saying basically, don't bind our hands with a long term deal without consulting congress. Whooohooo, that's so scandalous.

Oh, for Pete's sake! This almost seems like plagiarism of the debunked New York Post piece from September 15. For cryin' out loud! People are losing their homes; the DOW is crashing every day; people I work with in Iowa who thought they would be able to retire are now contemplating working until they're 70 years old (or more); and you choose to REPEAT a story that had no merit from the start? You call yourself a journalist? This article is downright shameful. If this is yet another lame attempt to distract from the failed Bush/McCain policies . . . it won't work. There's too much at stake for common, middle-class, every-day Americans like me who have too much at stake this election. Talk about something that matters to common people. Good grief!

Treason doth never prosper: what's the reason? Why if it prosper, none dare call it treason. --Sir John Harrington

Wrong, A.Charney--Treason is "aiding and abetting the enemy" which Obama and the Democrats did in Congress for years, along with Code Pink. I will go further, because of these kinds of irresponsible actions, such as saying the war is lost, pull out our troops now,etc. OUR SOLDIERS TOOK MORE BULLETS. MORE SOLDIERS DIED. So, it goes something like this: "When Obama lied, soldiers died." That bracelet on Obama's hand could have been a soldier that was killed because Obama encouraged our enemies with his lies and reckless talk. What do these liberal idiots think? That we live in a vacuum? That you can't yell fire in a crowded room? The man got people killed.

Old story - Nothing new here. This is an old story and there was nothing illegal - see below - Amir Teheri is a know harsh critic of Obama's and is joining in the piling on fray. "Obama camp hits back at Iraq double-talk claim" Sep 15, 2008 PUEBLO, Colorado (AFP) — Barack Obama's White House campaign angrily denied Monday a report that he had secretly urged the Iraqis to postpone a deal to withdraw US troops until after November's election. In the New York Post, conservative Iranian-born columnist Amir Taheri quoted Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari as saying the Democrat made the demand when he visited Baghdad in July, while publicly demanding an early withdrawal. But Obama's national security spokeswoman Wendy Morigi said Taheri's article bore "as much resemblance to the truth as a McCain campaign commercial."

Question of the day

Supporters say Sarah Palin scored in her Tea Party appearance, while critics are having a field day with Mrs. Palin's "hand-o-prompter" (the notes she scribbled on her palm). Who is right?
