I make no secret that I would like to see marijuana legalized, the magical herb is safe and therapeutic. But I am vehemently opposed to drugs like crack and heroin that wreak havoc on individuals and costs society untold billions in health care and crime-related expenses.
Drug dealers are the scum of the earth, and they should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Recently the mother of Bristol Palin’s boyfriend was arrested for allegedly trafficking in oxycontin - commonly known as the “hillbilly heroin.”
“An investigator and the Alaska State Troopers’ union say political interference delayed the drug arrest of the mother of the boyfriend of Gov. Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol.” — The New York Times
Was Sherry Johnston’s arrest delayed until after the election? Perhaps a more pertinent question would be: Why isn’t John McCain being castigated for doing a horrible job of vetting Sarah Palin?
Sherry Johnston isn’t just the mother of Bristol Palin’s boyfriend, she’s also a friend of Bible-toting Sarah Palin. You are known by the friends you keep and Sarah Palin is a buddy of drug dealer.
I can imagine the screaming headlines if it were discovered that President-elect Barack Obama had a friend who was a drug dealer. We would never hear the end of it, and it would be an albatross around Obama’s neck for his whole term in office.
This story shouldn’t be buried in the back pages of newspapers, it deserves above-the-fold coverage. The press must be vigilant so that the corrupt political establishment in Alaska doesn’t merely slap Johnston on the wrist. The media must also tie this story in with John McCain’s reckless selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate.
We came uncomfortably close to having the White House resemble the Beverly Hillbillies household. I can imagine Bristol Palin and her redneck husband sneaking out the window of their bedroom to attend a rave, and President Palin and her drug-dealing pal discussing the merits of oxycontin in the Rose Garden.
To those of you who think I’m being unfair to Palin, do I need to remind you how she condemned Obama for his associations with Rev Wright and Ayers?
Palin supporters let’s examine Matthew &: 1,2:“Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.”
The GOP goes back to its ugly roots — McCain is resurrecting the GOP’s oldest tactic: Smearing Obama as a scary black terrorist sympathizer. But he may meet the same fate as Barry Goldwater. — Gary Kamiya ..[ more ]
As Obama holds a steady lead in the polls, the slime-ball McCain campaign has switched gears — and become a decrepit and segregationist “swift-boating” morass of Racism.
Fear and Smear is the new economic policy of McCain and Palin.
At a time when most Americans are really anxious about their economic future, John McCain has unleashed the “racist syphilis” in him, which is being peddled from state to state by his wicked witch - the shallow fork-tongued interlectual midget, and now, the female-bigot from Alaska, Sarah Palin.
“Our opponent … is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough, that he’s palling around with terrorists who would target their own country,” Palin told a group of donors in Englewood, Colo. “This is not a man who sees America like you and I see America,” she said. “We see America as a force of good in this world. We see an America of exceptionalism.”
This despicable smear slyly suggests that Obama is a terrorist, scary, alien, un-American, a subversive, a traitor and a criminal….”like every other black man.”
McCain’s rallies have become HATE MEETINGS, with some braying for Obama’s life!
Last week’s VP debate, which only the “delusionally sick” believe Palin won, has emboldened Sarah the bigot.” She is now trotting around with the hardened resolve of a hardcore prostitute, squealing like a pig at feeding time.
Palin’s statement(s) seem to be the “whistle” the pack of Syphilitic Nincompoops at Fox News, led by the in-house Nazi Sean Hannity, have been waiting for.
They are trying their utmost best to portray Obama as some “Manchurian Candidate” who will sneak into the White House and then nuke every city in America. To them, Obama is from the “politically soiled and filthy culture of Chicago,” unfit to be an American — maybe he is a member of the Chicago mob, a recipe for a tragedy!
The sickest of them all at Fox news is Sean Hannity — who has repeatedly mis-characterized Obama’s “air-raiding villages” statement, among many other distortions and outright lies.
On his show, Hannity & Colmes (O’Hannity & Coward), Sean Hannity praised Gov. Sarah Palin for citing Sen. Barack Obama’s remark that more coalition forces are needed in Afghanistan “so that we’re not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous pressure over there.” Hannity did not note that Defense Secretary Robert Gates recently offered Afghans “sincere condolences and personal regrets for the recent loss of innocent life as a result of coalition airstrikes” and that news outlets have repeatedly reported that U.S. airstrikes in Afghanistan have resulted in civilian casualties….

On his radio show(s), Rush Limbaugh (the other big right-wing scum-bag on radio) has made numerous false statements about Obama’s health-care plan, his employment history, his legislative record, his work on behalf of veterans, and whether he puts his hand over his heart during the national anthem….

McCain is using the same tactics Bush used on him in the 2000 Republican Primaries, when Bush waged a nasty smear campaign against him.
In 2008 McCain has become McBush:
“What Bush did to McCain in the 2000 S. C. primary”
Bush Supporters Called McCain “The Fag Candidate.” — In South Carolina, Bush supporters circulated church fliers that labeled McCain “the fag candidate.” Columnist Frank Rich noted that the fliers were distributed “even as Bush subtly reinforced that message by indicating he wouldn’t hire openly gay people for his administration.”
Bush Supporters Questioned McCain’s Sanity — Some of George W. Bush’s supporters questioned Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s fitness for the White House, suggesting that his five years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam drove him insane at the time.
McCain Was Accused of Fathering Illegitimate Children and A Drug-Addict Wife — Among the rumors circulated against McCain in 2000 in South Carolina was that his adopted Bangladeshi daughter was actually black, that McCain was both gay and cheated on his wife, and that his wife Cindy was a drug addict.” Carl Rove (who is now working for McCain), Bush’s strategist took it further — claiming that McCain had committed treason while a prisoner of war, and had fathered a child with a black prostitute.”
The Bush Campaign Used Code Words to Question McCain’s Temper — Using the code word “temper,” a group of Senate Republicans, and at least some outriders of the George W. Bush campaign, spread the word that John McCain is unstable. The subtext, also suggested in this whispering campaign, was that he returned from 5 1/2 years as a POW in North Vietnam with a loose screw, and that he shouldn’t be entrusted with nuclear weapons.”
5. McCain’s involvement in the Keating Five - Savings and Loans scandal, which almost derailed his career. The Keating scandal is eerily similar to the financial crisis of today.

….and a lot more.
Obama being the “nice man” that he is, might not be willing to stab McCain right through the heart, but I strongly feel that he should at least kick him hard in the groin by bringing up the issue of Carol McCain — McCain’s first wife, who he dumped immediately after he came back from Vietnam, for Cindy and her “Beer Inheritance,” and because he couldn’t stand her disfigured body — after a terrible car crash in 1969.
John McCain is a sleazy, racist opportunist.

1.Will Palin’s Obama-Terrorist Speech Backfire? — John McCain occasionally looks back on decisions with regret. He has apologized for opposing a holiday to honor Martin Luther King Jr. He has apologized for refusing to call for the removal of a Confederate flag from South Carolina’s Capitol. When the 2008 campaign is over McCain might regret appeals such as Palin’s perhaps more so if he wins.
