"Why would they try to make people hate us?" Michelle Obama said to a top campaign aide.

-- The Obama campaign was provided with reports from the Secret Service showing a sharp and very disturbing increase in threats to Obama in September and early October, at the same time that the crowds at Palin rallies became more frenzied. Michelle Obama was shaken by the vituperative crowds and the hot rhetoric from the GOP candidates. "Why would they try to make people hate us?" Michelle Obama said to a top campaign aide.

Mother/Father God, protect us all from those who might do harm.

1. In my experience most republicans are childish.

They cant control their emotions and react instinctually. Of those I know, the vast majority do not have post high school educations. At McCains speech they were booing Obama, which is absolutely pathetic.

They absolutely would trade liberty for security. I have a very low opinion of them.

3. wow.....SO many interesting thing in there.

"-- On the Sunday night before the last debate, McCain's core group of advisers--Steve Schmidt, Rick Davis, adman Fred Davis, strategist Greg Strimple, pollster Bill McInturff and strategy director Sarah Simmons -- met to decide whether or not to tell McCain that the race was effectively over, that he no longer had a chance to win. The consensus in the room was no, not yet, not while he still had "a pulse"

Also, if McCain didn't want to attack Michelle Obama, as the article claims, maybe he should have told his wife to put a lid on her stupid little comment that she repeated very recently. Also, McCain DID attack Obama for not serving in the military in his response to Obama calling him out on the GI Bill.

Palin launched the Bill Ayers attack before the campaign was done coordinating it.


Also...WTF?
"As Editor-at-Large Evan Thomas writes, FBI and White House officials told the Obama campaign that they believed that a foreign entity or organization sought to gather information on the evolution of both camps' policy issues--information that might be useful in negotiations with a future administration. The Feds assured the Obama team that it had not been hacked by its political opponents (Obama technical experts later speculated that the hackers were Russian or Chinese). A security firm retained by the Obama campaign took steps to secure its computer system and end the intrusion. White House and FBI officials had no comment earlier this week."

4. I think they got a lot of McCain insiders talking

people who didn't like Palin and want to create history in such a way as to continue a false narrative that beatifies John McCain.

5. So, Failin lied to the media again, and again, and again

An angry aide characterized the shopping spree as "Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast," and said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Party audits its books.

I recall one of her last interviews about the clothing, she stated she only had them for 3 days, for the convention. And they were returned.........wonder who the donor was?

According to two knowledgeable sources, a vast majority of the clothes were bought by a wealthy donor, who was shocked when he got the bill.

Damn good thing we kept this fiscal conservative reformer out of the WH. If McKKKain had let the media have her, she'd of had less time to shop!
