Freedom of the Press-Denied by John McCain
How Can You Sue to Stop the Truth? is This America We Are In?
Through their "lack" of awareness and irresponsible behavior in taking this line of attack, they have stirred up feelings and fear in America, like nothing I have seen since I was a child. People are turning on each other. Neighbors are calling each other names, black children are being spat on and called racial slurs from exiting McCain/Palin supporters and McCain has spoken out once and Palin has not spoken out at all against this example of just how poor these people's judgment truly is. They haven't stopped one time to consider the Pandora's Box they were opening. A Box which has been on a threatening simmer since Barack Obama announced he would run for the President's Office.
When Palin was introduced, the Republican Campaign clamped down on her like a Pit Bull in a Fight. They made sure she didn't talk to anyone or do interviews except with people they "thought" would baby her and not ask hard questions. As soon as they saw she couldn't do it, they shut her up immediately. Well, except for rallies and speeches.
They sent a horde of attorneys and big wigs to Alaska to squash the already breaking news about "Troopergate". They used every avenue available to stop it. They told witnesses to shut up and refused to let Todd Palin testify. No telling how much of taxpayer dollars were spent on that effort.
McCain stood at the last debate and NEVER said one word to Obama's face about the terrorist thing.
Now this thing with Rick Sanchez. OMG! You have to be kidding! If you don't know, Rick Sanchez, anchor on CNN, has been runnning truthful stories with facts to show, Sarah and Todd Palin's involvement with Joe Vogler's Alaskan Independent Party. I realize that some media spins one way and the others spin the other way.
However, the facts are that Sarah Palin and Todd Palin were involved with these people. Joe Vogler wanted to secede from the US. He stated he hated America and was not American but Alaskan. He said he wanted to rip the stars from the American Flag. He also said if it came to violence against America, he wouldn't hestitate. Sarah Palin did a televised speech in support of this Party earlier this year. Todd Palin only resigned as member in 2002. Many of their friends in Wasilla were associated with this group as well. She tried to have her friends in her group of government pals.
After Rick Sanchez has done several of these, the McCain Campaign has threatened to sue CNN if they continue to run these stories. Are you hearing what I am hearing. The SAME PEOPLE that ran weeks of ads saying Obama was friends with terrorists and had FOX NEWS drooling in their drawers about it 24/7, Obama the supposed "terrorist" did not say "STOP" or I"LL SUE"! Where are we America?
The Republicans say Obama is leaning to Socialism but what are they leaning to: COMMUNISM?
I can hardly believe that CNN actually took this off. No sign of it on the website or anything. It would be like it never happened except smart people put it on YouTube. Thank you for that people...Is John McCain and the Republican Party showing their "True Colors"? Will they go to ANY lengths to win this election. This is why America has fallen to the new low in respect across the World. It is coming out right here at home in this election.
The sad thing is Americans are NOT standing up and saying STOP. With the 9/11 thing we have lost almost all of our freedoms. We have allowed these clowns in Washington DC and across this country to run this country in the ground. We have stood by and took it up the wazoo without saying one damn word.
Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press are two of the most valuable rights we have left. The Republicans and John McCain are stepping all over these rights with this blatant act of Good Ole Boy tactics. They are telling America that they can potentially cause people to lose their lives and much more over statements that have proven to be basically bullshit. They are telling America that the Good Ole Boys can do what the hell they want. Just shut up and do what we tell you..........
Why can't we know about Sarah Palin? America does not trust Washington anymore. We want to know about BOTH sides. WHY can't Rick Sanchez run these stories. WHY can't CNN do their jobs, just like that stupid liar Sean Hannity? He lies and lies and lies, yet Obama hasn't threatened him.
America if you read this, please call the McCain campaign and protest. Call CNN and tell them you protest. This is a "FREEDOM OF SPEECH" issue.
John McCain and the Republicans who support him are saying they can play by different rules. That is what has been happening for 8 years people. That is why there are over 4,000 dead soldiers and many more wounded. Bush thought he could play by different rules and he has almost taken ALL of our rights away.
Whether you are Democrat or Republican(ME), this is wrong. This is wrong John McCain. What are you scared of? This is COMMUNISM SIR!

Post a Comment(continued) ...unjust war (does THIs sound familiar?) Someone left me a comment on an article I was writing today that was a blow-by-blow of things going on leading up to tonight's debate. It had NOTHING to do with KENYAN VOTER FRAUD ,but the comment was an attempt to 'smear' Obama with THAT charge! I mean: are the Republicans so far over the edge that they think that KENYAN VOTER FRAUD is our biggest concern in this country? I know I'm worried about my dwindling retirement savings after 36 years of being a good girl and saving them for my retirement (i.e.,. now) and having them all go down the drain in the recent stock market crashes. I'm also worried about my health care, after my husband, a John Deere employee (second generation there) had his health care benefits cut to the bone so that now, unless we get something terminal, we're on our own. THOSE are the issues...that and the stupid, costly, wrong war George W. Bush dragged us into. Nice work.
Dear Ranting Rose. I like your piece. I just typed (and posted) 10 pages of blow-by-blow, but it's too long and I got too carried away and I think I drove AC nuts with my inability to get "hyperlinks" in as requested. Then, I did a "once over lightly" piece, after watching the debate at my son and daughter-in-law's house. Now, she grew up in Mississippi. I am not stereotyping (this for someone who attacked me recently). It is a fact. She is a little to the right of Rush Limbaugh. However, I think she believes that Obama has the better grasp and plan and presentation. I know my daughter does, and I hope my son does. I did a piece on William Ayers after seeing an article on him in today's Chicago Tribune. You know ,when you have to pull out stories about a guy who, when he was a teenager, crossed the line TO PROTEST AN UNJUST WAR and, yes, did it in the wrong way, definitely (which Obama has said many times), but was, nevertheless, trying to get the United States government out of an unj
Thank you!
The only show on CNN I actually believe in anymore is Rich Sanchez's show. I admire his hutzpah! Standing up for what he believes in and exposing the facts so others can form their own opinions. He doesn't let himself be bullied into reproducing the Conservative propaganda!
I hope you both keep up the good work!
Keep it up Rose!
I haven't been watching CNN much and so missed it. Thanks for the link, Rose. And...yeah, it's onerous how McCain could even think of suing to get news he doesn't like off the air indeed. And you didn't even mention how the NSA has been eavesdropping on innocent phone calls by normal civilians, too. I'm surprised how that hasn't gotten much air time... We're just so lucky the Founding Fathers really made it hard for these folks to turn this country into a dictatorship, though as you said... our rights have been alarmingly eroding. Thanks again! :o)
