During the campaign: Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, accused Mr. Obama of “palling around with terrorists.”

Now: “Barack Obama has been elected president,” Ms. Palin said. “Let us, let us — let him — be able to kind of savor this moment, one, and not let the pettiness of maybe internal workings of the campaign erode any of the recognition of this historic moment that we’re in. And God bless Barack Obama and his beautiful family.”

NOTE: Sarah, not too long ago you were inciting LYNCH MOBS to KILL OBAMA (see video below)

During the campaign: “You see, he believes in redistributing wealth, not in policies that help us all make more of it,” McCain said of Obama. “Joe, in his plain-spoken way, said this sounded a lot like socialism. And a lot of Americans are thinking along those same lines. “At least in Europe, the socialist leaders who so admire my opponent are upfront about their objectives,” McCain added.

Now: Mr. McCain, of Arizona, referred to Mr. Obama’s victory Tuesday night as “a historic election” and hailed the “special pride” it held for African-Americans.

During the campaign: Attending an event with Mr. McCain in York, Pa., in August, Mr. Lieberman (The worst Democratic Traitor Ever) said the race was “between one candidate, John McCain, who has always put the country first, worked across party lines to get things done, and one candidate who has not.” Lieberman went further, lying that Mr. Obama “voted to cut off funding for our troops on the ground.”

Now: Mr. Lieberman, who may lose his position as the chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, because of his support of McCain, released a statement congratulating Mr. Obama for “his historic and impressive victory.” It continued, “The American people are a people of extraordinary fairness.” … adding that he believes that “President-elect Obama — and, then, Senator Obama — is a genuine patriot and loves his country”

NOTE: The Senate majority leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, said in response to Lieberman ….F^7!#CK THAT!

During the campaign: Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota told Chris Matthews of MSNBC that, when it came to Mr. Obama, “I’m very concerned that he may have anti-American views.”

Now: After narrowly escaping defeat because of those comments, she now says that she is “extremely grateful that we have an African-American who has won this year.” Ms. Bachmann, a Republican, called Mr. Obama’s victory, which included her state, “a tremendous signal we sent.”

During the campaign: In May, George Bush gave a speech before the Knesset to celebrate Israel’s 60th anniversary, he indirectly criticized Obama by comparing U.S. diplomatic efforts to engage with foreign leaders as the equivalent of “appeasing the Nazis.”

Now: President Bush has hailed Mr. Obama’s victory, saying his arrival at the White House would be “a stirring sight.”

Well, is Barack Obama still a Terrorist, ……you Mother&!!$$**F!!$%IN MORONS?

JIM RUTENBERG writing for the New York Times states: “There is a great tradition of paint-peeling political hyperbole during presidential campaign years. And there is an equally great tradition of backing off from it all afterward, though with varying degrees of deftness.” “But given the intensity of some of the charges that have been made in the past few months, and the historic nature of Mr. Obama’s election, the exercise this year has been particularly whiplash-inducing, with its extreme before-and-after contrasts.” — [READ MORE]

Notable Exceptions

   Sean Hannity | Rush Limbaugh
The sickest Morons on TV/RADIO — Rush “Fat” Limbaugh, Sean “Syphilis” Hannity, Laura “I used To Be A Man” Ingraham, Bill “Mealy-Mouth” O’Reilly ……and many more RIGHT-WING SCUM BAGS scattered all over America, are still vomiting garbage into their microphones with ANIMAL FEROCITY.

These RATS don’t give up!

They have intensified their obsessive irrationality — and are still calling President-elect Barack Obama a TERRORIST, among many other lies and innuendo.

The sick SYPHILIS infected Sean Hannity, of FOX News said yesterday: “I want Barack Obama to succeed.” … just a moment later, he was back parroting the failed campaign argument that Obama is a “mystery“? “I fear [this] is the guy that has these radical associations 20 years ago,” Hannity added, an odd way of demonstrating support for the new commander in chief.

Opening his first post-election rant against the president-elect, Limbaugh launched in with a certain relish. “The game,” he told his radio listeners, “has begun.”

What game Rush? Pill-Popping?

“The Obama recession is in full swing, ladies and gentlemen,” Limbaugh told his radio audience of 15 million to 20 million on Thursday. “Stocks are dying, which is a precursor of things to come. This is an Obama recession. Might turn into a depression.”

You mean the Bush Recession, you drug addicted, racist moron!

Sarah Palin is a strikingly beautiful woman, but her campaign rhetoric was ugly and frightening. With a smile and a wink she got away with uttering the most vile, contemptible and baseless accusations against Barack Obama.

Many times I would listen to Palin speak, and smile at her hokey charm. It wasn’t until a few moments later that I would think: Wow, she just called Obama a socialist who pals around with terrorists.

Sarah Palin is perceived by the press and most thinking Americans as a harmless intellectual lightweight, but her ill-chosen words are destructive. Palin is a very dangerous demagogue, and the GOP is playing with fire if they seriously consider her as a future presidential candidate.

“Sarah Palin’s attacks on Barack Obama’s patriotism provoked a spike in death threats against the future president, Secret Service agents revealed during the final weeks of the campaign.

The attacks provoked a near lynch mob atmosphere at her rallies, with supporters yelling ‘terrorist‘ and ‘kill him‘ until the McCain campaign ordered her to tone down the rhetoric.

But it has now emerged that her demagogic tone may have unintentionally encouraged white supremacists to go even further.

The Secret Service warned the Obama family in mid October that they had seen a dramatic increase in the number of threats against the Democratic candidate, coinciding with Mrs Palin’s attacks.

Michelle Obama, the future First Lady, was so upset that she turned to her friend and campaign adviser Valerie Jarrett and said: ‘Why would they try to make people hate us?’” — [MORE]

Palin’s over-the-top attacks on Obama could very well have inspired some of her more crazy fans to kill Obama. Yes, Palin is beautiful and charming, but what comes out of her mouth is ugly and dangerous.

Now that the McCain/Palin obituaries are being written, thinking conservatives should condemn Palin’s hateful speech. There should be no place in a presidential campaign for groundless vicious attacks.

George W. Bush failed to live up to his promise to be a “uniter and not a divider,” his disastrous decision to invade Iraq, and his economic policies that favor the wealthy have polarized this country like never before.

John McCain and Sarah Palin are doing little to unite this country, in fact they continue the GOP tradition of trying to win elections by pitting one section of America against another.

“As a proud resident of Oakton, Va. , I can tell you that the Democrats have just come in from the District of Columbia and moved in to northern Virginia. And that’s really what you see there. But the rest of the state, real Virginia, if you will, I think will be very responsive to McCain’s message.” — McCain senior adviser, Nancy Pfotenhauer

Pfotenhauer, is a proud resident of the heavily Democratic northern region of Virginia, and I’m a proud resident of Central Virginia, the “real Virginia” according to her. I agree with her that the overwhelmingly Republican residents of Central Virginia are hardworking and patriotic. The county that I live in has less than a one percent Hispanic population, but the fine folks here have made this Latino from San Francisco feel right at home. I’ve visited northern Virginia on many occasions, and I can testify that that region of the state with its large Hispanic population is just as patriotic and hardworking as any other part of the commonwealth.

“Northern Virginia, Arlington and Alexandria are communist country.” — Joe McCain (John McCain’s brother)

When I first heard Joe McCain’s comments a few days ago, I couldn’t believe that someone could be so ignorant as to portray northern Virginia as “communist.” But now we have the spectacle of John McCain making the ludicrous charge that Obama’s economic policies are “socialist.” How low will John McCain sink in a desperate attempt to win the election?

“This is not a man who sees America as you see it and how I see America.” — Sarah Palin referring to Barack Obama before an overwhelmingly white audience

When Palin uttered this ridiculous comment, it was a none too subliminal reminder that Obama is black. Palin is portraying Obama as a black man who palls around with terrorists and is probably a Muslim. Instead of reaching out to African Americans Palin is writing them off, and playing the race card to appeal to working class whites. Palin is implying that black folks don’t think like whites, they are different, scary and unreliable.

No wonder some yahoos at McCain/Palin rallies scream “terrorist” and “kill him” when Obama’s name is mentioned, Palin and McCain have convinced them that Obama is a Muslim socialist who palls around with terrorists.

“We believe, we believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard-working, very patriotic, pro-America areas of this great nation.” — Sarah Palin

There are no red states and blue states, there is only the UNITED states of America. Our great nation isn’t divided into pro-American and anti-American regions, my birthplace of liberal San Francisco, Ca., is just as pro-American as the small conservative town in Virginia where I now live.

After eight years of the politics of division, it’s time we elect Barack Obama — a statesman who is truly a uniter and not a divider. Obama has run a civil campaign, he transcends race and political parties, and he’s the only one who can bring us together at this critical juncture in our history.

Robo calls are a very invasive approach to political campaigning, it’s equivalent to the approach that Jehovah’s Witnesses take to sharing their faith: Banging on your door and disturbing your family dinner.

Automated calls from political parties should be outlawed, they are a nuisance and they do nothing to enlighten voters about the issues.

John McCain is down in the polls, and out of desperation he is blanketing the battleground states with automated calls that portray Obama in the worst possible light.

Here’s the text of a typical John McCain robo call:

‘Hello. I’m calling for John McCain and the RNC because you need to know that Barack Obama has worked closely with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, whose organization bombed the U.S. capitol, the Pentagon, a judge’s home and killed Americans,’ the recorded message said. ‘And Democrats will enact an extreme leftist agenda if they take control of Washington. Barack Obama and his Democratic allies lack the judgment to lead our country.’

The call ends with the legally required disclosure, informing the listener that the call was paid for by McCain-Palin 2008 and the Republican National Committee.” — More Here

This robo call is replete with errors, lies and exaggerations. Barack Obama has never had a close working relationship with Bill Ayers, and we don’t need to hear McCain’s pack of lies. Ayers was a terrorist in his younger days, but today he is a respected college professor. Obama had the good judgement to oppose the invasion and occupation of Iraq from the start, McCain has marched in lockstep with Bush’s foreign policy.

When a Jehovah’s Witness disturbs the peace of my home, I quickly get rid of him. Every voter who is a victim of McCain’s robo calls should get even by voting for Obama.
