UPDATE at 12/20/07 9:48:41 pm:

Your Presidential campaign has drawn the enthusiastic support of an imposing collection of Neo-Nazis, White Supremacists, Holocaust Deniers, 9/11 'Truthers' and other paranoid and discredited conspiracists.

Do you welcome- or repudiate – the support of such factions?

More specifically, your columns have been featured for several years in the American Free Press –a publication of the nation’s leading Holocaust Denier and anti-Semitic agitator, Willis Carto. His book club even recommends works that glorify the Nazi SS, and glowingly describe the 'comforts and amenities' provided for inmates of Auschwitz.

Have your columns appeared in the American Free Press with your knowledge and approval?

As a Presidential candidate, will you now disassociate yourself, clearly and publicly, from the poisonous propaganda promoted in such publications?

As a guest on my syndicated radio show, you answered my questions directly and fearlessly.

Will you now answer these pressing questions, and eliminate all associations between your campaign and some of the most loathsome fringe groups in American society?

Along with my listeners (and many of your own supporters), I eagerly await your response.

Special Alert

Representative Ron Paul (R-TX) has just introduced an amendment to  end all U.S. aid to Israel.  The amendment could be voted on before the  day is over.  I need your help right now to stop this ill-conceived  proposal!

Please click here to quickly and easily send a message to your elected representative urging them to stand with Israel.

Don’t be deceived.  This Ron Paul proposal would not lower our budget  deficit.  By abandoning Israel while its enemies are gaining strength,  the risk of a major war in the Middle East would increase. A major war  would cost the U.S. billions and billions of dollars as we have already  seen in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The U.S. gives billions of dollars a year to foreign countries that  hate us and regularly vote against us at the United Nations.  But,  Israel votes with the U.S. 97% of the time.  They are a loyal ally that  shares our values.  The aid they receive is used to buy military  equipment from U.S. companies so the money comes back to us. Ron Paul’s  proposal makes no sense.

Please right now go to www.cwfpac.com to tell your congressman to stand with Israel.

"Sick outs by Madison teachers were initiated by the rank and file. By Tuesday evening, so many had called in to say that they would not be at work the next day, that the school district cancelled classes. The teachers stayed out for the rest of the week and the following Monday, with union leaders scrambling to catch up, and teachers from other districts around the state joining the action as the week progressed.

The occupation [empahsis added] of the Capitol building began on Tuesday night, with hundreds of protesters staying inside demanding to testify before the Joint Finance Committee, which was required to hold hearings on the bill. The occupation [empahsis added] was initiated by students, but soon had enthusiastic labor participation, with particular unions designating certain nights for their members to sleep over.

This huge and militant [emphasis added] response led all 14 Democrats in the Wisconsin Senate to leave the state on the third day of the protests, depriving Republicans of a quorum necessary to pass Walker’s bill. For nearly three weeks the legislature was gridlocked. In response to threats of layoffs, the South Central Federation of Labor passed a resolution saying that it would support a general strike. Others pointed out that the budget deficit would disappear if corporations and the wealthy paid their fair share of taxes.

The mood to escalate action was there [emphasis added], but union leaders were terrified of things going too far. From the beginning most said they would accept the economic concessions contained in Walker’s bill in exchange for the preservation of collective bargaining and other union rights, sacrificing their members’ paychecks to defend their own positions.

After the teachers returned to work, union officials were unwilling to call more job actions, and instead starting channeling resources into recall campaigns against eight GOP senators. This allowed Walker to wind down the occupation [emphasis added] by slowly making access to the Capitol more difficult. Rallies continued outside, but on March 9, in a legislative maneuver, the Senate detached the anti-union sections from the rest of Walker’s bill and voted to pass them without the Democrats present.

"It has become commonplace to call the tea party faction in the House 'hostage takers.' But they have now become full-blown terrorists.

• In 2008, it was a generally accepted fact that the future Chairman Obama had ties to domestic terrorists (Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn) and an Islamic terrorist (Rashid Khalidi).
• In 2008, it was generally known that the future Chairman Obama had used cocaine.
• In 2008, it was known that a young Barack Obama liked hang out with Marxist college professors and discuss the works of Frantz Fannon, a favorite writer of Leftist terrorists the world over.
• In 2008, it was common knowledge that our future Dear Leader had strong ties to "Reverend" Jeremiah Wrong, a vicious race-baiter who not only believed that the United States deserved 9/11, but also the government created the AIDS virus to kill off the black community. (Basically, Jeremiah Wrong is a one man Moveon.dork rally.)
• Oh yeah, before I forget, no one was sure that Obama was born in the United States or whether or not he was even elligible to be president.

You know, it's funny, but I don't remember ABC News or anyone else from the arrogant and lazy mainstream media assigning an investigative reporter to any of the above stories. I do, however, remember Obama's sycophants covering up for him. (A great example of this is when the Los Angeles Slimes refused to release information about our Dear Leader's ties to Rashid Khalidi.) You'd think someone would have wanted a Pulitzer, right ? With what passes for journalism in the United States, it's liberalism first, partisanship second, and then back to liberalism. It's truly a sad state of affairs when the media thinks migraine headaches are more newsworthy than ties to terrorism or a presidential candidate who may or may not have been born in the United States.

God help us all.
