1. Theoretically
He was not suppose to listen to the questions ahead of time. But actually......?

14. As heard on the Thom Hartmann program
Warren sent out a press release with an outline of the questions to be asked. They, as stated in the release, had to do with the war, the economy, health care, etc. "The issues" as it were. While I can't believe Obama actually prepared for just these, he might have been taken off guard but the totally different line of questioning that that liar Warren presented. McCain on the other hand was "johnny quick" ready to jump on the questions Warren DID ask. It does make me wonder, no, I know they are all a bunch of conniving liars.

2. The issue that goes to the heart of this is that Warren said McCain was IN the "cone of silence"
If Fixed News knew McCain wasn't going to be in the building for Senator Obama's segment then certainly Warren knew, wouldn't you think? And if the "pastor" knew shouldn't he have been HONEST and forthcoming with that information? But he wasn't, was he? Instead, Warren told his live audience as well as the entire TV audience that McCain was in this ridiculous "cone of silence" when even Fixed News knew well beforehand that McCain was going to be in transit for the first half of Senator Obama's segment.

IS AMERICA GETTING THIS? Warren lied because if Fixed News knew then I guaranty that Warren and his people knew too.

One other point, the coin toss that decided who was first wasn't conducted in an honest fashion either. Warren was asked how the coin toss was handled yesterday -- I don't remember where I heard it, it might have been on Larry King -- and Warren said the coin toss was done privately by him and his staff. That's like having the coin toss at a football game done by the referees before anyone shows up at the stadium. It doesn't take a genius to realize that this was fixed right from the start because if Warren lied so easily about McCain and his "cone of silence" then it's logical to assume that he lied about the coin toss too.

Coin toss -- FIXED

"Cone of silence" -- A LIE

Even Fixed News knew.

This is getting more ridiculous by the moment. "pastor" Warren is nothing more than a lying shill for the McCain campaign and the sooner the Obama campaign makes these facts known the better.

4. Oh, I'm not surprised
I'm just completely disgusted that so many Americans lack even the rudimentary intelligence necessary to figure this out for themselves.

If America elects this bumbling bozo we will wind up with another four years of Bush -- OR WORSE!

If America can't figure that out, with the already abundant and ever growing evidence at hand, then there is something very wrong with us as a people.

6. And Theoretically Carl Cameron is a
REAL journalist working for a legitimate news organization.

But reality spills the beans that he's just another political hack
working to install yet another round of fascist leadership
upon a witless uninformed America :wtf:

15. I wish this could be titled differently, i.e., Faux News announced that McCain would be 30 minutes
late to civil forum. The title as it is won't generate much activity, I'm afraid, and I think this video needs to be recommended to the max! Can you cross post on the GD: Presidential and copy this link?
