….as McCain revs up his sleaze machine, with statements like: “Obama would rather lose a war in order to win a political campaign.” — essentially calling Barack Obama a traitor!.

Old man McCain has totally lost his mind during Obama’s European tour this week, and the press has constantly given him a pass whenever he drops the ball, flip-flops and/or sleazes Obama:

1. McCain cannot distinguish between Sunnis from Shiites

2. McCain thinks Iraq and Pakistan share a border

3. McCain recently declared on CBS that Iraq was the first major conflict after 9/11. Forgetting about Afghanistan!

4. McCain thinks Putin is the president of Germany

….and many more. Senator John McCain has become a Gaffe Machine since hitting the campaign trail last year — and he is getting away with it!

McCain was so desperate this week that he “bamboozled” a group of reporters covering him — lying that he might announce his vice presidential choice at a town hall meeting in Rochester, New Hampshire. Instead he escalated his childish attacks against Obama, at the meeting.

What more do the people of America need to hear/see to know that this THUG is too old to be president?

Meanwhile, Fox News, the Racist mouthpiece of the “Republican Bigot World” has been VERY busy — Trying hard to bring down Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.

The people at News Hounds — brilliant as always, caught this during a segment in Neil Cavuto’s “Business/Smear” show:

Being interviewed, was Arizona Senator Jon Kyl — talking about Obama being a “rock star over there,” and asking whether that is a “red flag for all Americans here?”

For the record, Jon Kyl is a big-time anti-immigrant bigot, a friend and regular guest of Lou Dobbs, the chief anti-immigrant TV extortionist — The Minister of Propaganda and Immigrant Xenophobia, “cholesterol laden” Lou Dobbs of CNN.

The imbeciles at Fox News will stop at nothing — they are like dogs infected with rabies — in perpetual sexual heat.

From 236.com: Fox News has nothing against the good kind of black people

Whatever they do — Obama will continue to shine — all the way to the white house.

Illegal immigrants face threat of no college

Some states are making it harder for illegal immigrants to attend college by denying in-state tuition benefits or banning undocumented students.

In the past two years, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia and Oklahoma have refused in-state tuition benefits to students who entered the USA illegally with their parents but grew up and went to school in the state. That represents a reversal from earlier this decade, when 10 states passed laws allowing in-state rates for such students.

This summer, South Carolina became the first state to bar undocumented students from all public colleges and universities.

North Carolina’s community colleges in May ordered its 58 campuses to stop enrolling undocumented students after the state attorney general said admitting them may violate federal law.

“The new trend is to kick illegal aliens out of college altogether,” says William Gheen of Americans for Legal Immigration Political Action Committee, which opposes taxpayer subsidies for undocumented immigrants.

Josh Bernstein of the National Immigration Law Center, an illegal-immigrants advocate, says sweeping anti-immigration bills are “a very serious threat” to the overall illegal population.

Georgia, which barred undocumented students from in-state tuition rates in 2006, enacted laws in May preventing them from receiving state scholarships and certain student loans.

This fall, the University of Arkansas will require students to submit Social Security numbers and proof of residency. In May, Arkansas Department of Higher Education Director Jim Purcell warned that students without documentation “will not be considered as legally enrolled students” when determining an institution’s state funding.

Opponents say students shouldn’t be penalized for their parents’ actions. Helping them is “the right thing to do even if it’s unpopular,” says North Carolina state Rep. Pricey Harrison, a Democrat who introduced a bill that would prevent state institutions from asking about students’ immigration status.
