I couldn't believe in the debate last night when he was talking about a vote on a 2005 energy bill, and without looking at Obama even for a second said "guess who voted for it? you might never know, THAT ONE"

What the heck is McCain trying to prove with his attitude? That was completely insulting to Obama, he might as well just call him the N word in public, it sounded to me like the ONE would have been replaced with another word if he wasn't on TV.

Old man, go away, we don't need your kind of hatred in the White House. You're kind of racism is the worst kind, sneaky and backhanded, given with a smile. You make me sick to be the same color you are.

Clarion Fund Puts Lipstick on Terrorism Pig Documentary

Who is the "Clarion Fund" and why is it paying for placing 28 million copies of "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West" DVD's in swing state newspapers?

The Clarion Fund, who's website only identifies the group as "a 501(c)(3) organization. We are independent and do not accept funding from the U.S. Government, political institutions, or foreign organizations." It does not identify who it's board of directors are, but says it's "mission is to educate Americans about issues of national security." Their focus "is on the most urgent threat of radical Islam. By utilizing the following three mediums, Clarion Fund is helping Americans understand that the mainstream media is not adequately conveying the reality of radical Islam."

Through some web digging, I was able to identify three players, Raphael Shore who is a Canadian citizen who is the producer/co-writer of the film and founder of the Clarion Fund, Wayne Kopping, a South African national, the director and co-writer and Gregory Ross, who is the communications director of this New York based non-profit group. Ross was "originally from Los Angeles and have lived overseas for many years. I moved back to LA from New York after 9-11, and a stint on Wall Street, and started working in the Hollywood Entertainment community." Ross does not disclose how the film was produced, but is quoted as saying "The film was financed by a concerned citizen who has a long standing relationship with our organization. The cost was under $500k and it took over a year to complete." Something about this group doesn't pass the smell test, particularly when no information is available about its donors and board of directors.

Maybe most concerning about this film is that, according to Ross "I know that the U.S. Department of the Navy uses the film and that it has also been shown on Capitol Hill on many occasions in order to education politicians. We have also screened it at countless universities and colleges. However we are unsure as to if it is being used in their curriculums � we certainly hope it is."

By law, 501(c)(3) organizations are not permitted to engage in political activity, endorse or oppose political candidates, or donate money or time to political campaigns, so it was surprising to learn that there was an article on the group's new Web site, www.radicalislam.org, that backed Republican presidential candidate John McCain. The article discussed both candidates and concludes:

"McCain's policies seek to confront radical Islamic extremism and terrorism and roll it back while [Barack] Obama's, although intending to do the same, could in fact make the situation facing the West even worse."

According to Clarion Fund director of communications Gregory Ross, the article "crossed the line" and was removed.

Gregory Ross also said in an interview with Frontpage magazine, a right-wing online publication, "we are just a few weeks from completing our next documentary, �The Third Jihad� - though it is not a sequel. This new film will take a look at radical Islam�s activities here in the U.S. We should be releasing the film in early October. So stay tuned."

Stay tuned indeed, as this group tries to scare voters with their own form of psychological terrorism.

Regarding "The 3rd Jihad",I have to wonder how this group could possibly know about "radical Islam's" activities in the U.S., in that all such information is classified with a high-level security rating (don't ask me how I know), and no one outside of the White House is being told anything. Hmmm...

Well, if you do get this, consider the source before you make judgements as to whether or not it's just another piece of propaganda from the Conservative party.

How can the Republicans do this? I understand it if they are just trying to make sure people are voting from the right address, but even a voting rights litigator from the U.S. Justice Department says about this..

" I don’t think a foreclosure notice is sufficient basis for a challenge, because people often remain in their homes after foreclosure begins and sometimes are able to negotiate and refinance.”

Are the Republicans that afraid they'll lose in key battleground states that they'd resort to things like this?

It seems like he's always had a right wing slant, but this is over the top. He should just consider himself a Republican and be honest about it.

Please, for all you women out there, you really need to read this. I suspected after seeing that Cindy McCain had that wrist injury and hearing it was due to a handshake that something was wrong. Now I read that he called his wife a c**t a few years ago in public, and won't answer the question when posed about it. See the link below...

What does this tell you about him? Would you really want a President like that in office? It seems to me that the wrist injury may have more to do with spousal abuse than a handshake.

If you listen to it all, there was NO, NO LIVE COVERAGE of the first plane hit. In the video, he talks about seeing the FIRST PLANE HIT THE TOWER in the classroom when he came in. Remember after that, he had his advisor come in and tell him about it personally. How could he then say he didn't know?
