911review/election

exactly what scares the hell out
of the "Republic Right".
watch Sean Hannity talk about Bill Ayers, it gores much deeper in his psyche than a disdain for the man becuase of his actions.
Hannity, and the rest of the RR, are actually SCARED of Ayers, becuase he represents something they dont understand, and are not used to.
Some people abhore change so much they will deny their own philosophy until a deep hypocrisy sets in.
When they can not rectify this hypocrisy in their own lives, they point the finger externally, and it becomes HATE.
This is why Hannity, and others like him are filled with hate, and it is apparent when you watch him.
Open yourself to reason, change, compassion, understanding, and wisdom will follow.

Ayers hated seeing people dying en-mass in the war, and his actions possibly helped stop some of this.
We may never know how much, but he did what he thought necessary at the time, then, selflessly turned himself in.
(i do not beleive in violence though) and i dont think Ayers ever actually tried to hurt anyone

Police say a campaign volunteer confessed to making up a story that a mugger attacked her and cut the letter B in her face after seeing her McCain bumper sticker.

At a news conference this afternoon, offiicals said they believe that Ashley Todd's injuries were self-inflicted.

Todd, 20, of Texas, is now facing charges for filing a false report to police.

Todd initially told police that she was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield and that the suspect became enraged and started beating her after seeing her GOP sticker on her car.

Police investigating the alleged attack, however, began to notice some inconsistencies in her story and administered a polygraph test.

Authorities, however, declined to release the results of that test.

Investigators did say that they received photos from the ATM machine and "the photographs were verified as not being the victim making the transaction."

This afternoon, a Pittsburgh police commander told KDKA Investigator Marty Griffin that Todd confessed to making up the story.

Todd told investigators that she didn't remember what happened.

Police say they do not believe any other people were involved; and her friends believed the story about the attack.

According to police, investigators working on the interview process detected several inconsistencies in Todd's story that differed from statements made in the original police report.

Pittsburgh Police Public Information Officer Diane Richard released a statement earlier today, saying: "Because of the inconsistencies in her statements, Ms. Todd was asked to submit to a polygraph examination which she agreed to do."

No photos of Todd are being released by Pittsburgh Police at this time.

Oct. 6: Countdown's Keith Olbermann points out in a Special Comment that while John McCain might want to use Sarah Palin to hit Barack Obama below the belt and accuse him of terrorist associations, he overlooked the unfortunate fact that "pallin' around with terrorists" is one area where Palin has more experience.

WASHINGTON - The federal government on Friday determined that a species of beluga whale native to an inlet off Anchorage, Alaska, is endangered and will require additional protection to survive.

The finding could even have presidential implications: Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Sen. John McCain's running mate, had questioned scientific evidence that the population was declining.

The listing has the potential to affect major Alaska projects including an expansion of the Port of Anchorage, additional offshore oil and gas drilling, a proposed $600 million bridge connecting Anchorage to Palin's hometown of Wasilla and a massive coal mine 45 miles south of Anchorage.

From the page: "Ode to Sara Palin
From the cold up north comes a woman who hunts
she was very good at Karl Rovian stunts
She attracts conservative crowds far, wide, and big
Not bad for a candidate, with an IQ 3 more than a pig

She barks so loud - Don't, Don't, Don't vote for him
He eats Arugula salad, and has black skin
He is a terrorist, a liberal, he's different you see
He cares about the poor, He has a college degree

It's about HOPE, and CHANGE, thats OUR message TOO..
But the difference is, is that We're red white and blue

Its taxes, the economy, that big money tree
We can fix it, like before, just look at Bush 1, 2, and three"

From the page: "Based on the documented analysis I posted on my website finebergresearch.com [finebergresearch.com] ) Sept. 27, I feel compelled to oppose Governor Palinâ€s candidacy for national office. For case studies that call into question Governor Palinâ€s management of major oil and gas issues, please check out the facts and documents I have assembled and posted. My analysis identifies and documents:
• fundamental flaws and inconsistencies in the design of Governor Palinâ€s major oil and gas policy proposals;
• disappointing implementation failures;
• a strangely reclusive management style; and
• potential staff and consultant conflicts of interest within her administrative team that sully her image as a reformer.

The story line on my website is simple: The events I have documented and reported suggest that problems I first dismissed as anomalies in 2007 turned out, in fact, to be harbingers of dubious policy outcomes in 2008. In my estimation, Governor Palin is extremely adept at using public relations to mask problems that result from an apparent unwillingness or inability to roll up her sleeves and deal with the all-important nuts-and-bolts issues that are essential to good governance."

Alaska governor Sarah Palin may be in even hotter water over a Yahoo Mail account she used to conduct state business. One can hardly blame her for using Yahoo Mail, gov.sarah@yahoo.com, to handle official state business. Everyone loves to complain about the email provided by one's employer, and evade it when can. But for a state official, now a vice-presidential candidate, the practice was always questionable. Yahoo Mail is not archived as scrupulously as official state email accounts, which are covered by laws requiring the retention of government records. And her advisors specifically discussed using Yahoo Mail to evade archiving requirements. Here's where things just got worse: Palin, according to a discussion on /b/, an Internet messaging board frequented by online troublemakers, used a second account, gov.palin@yahoo.com, whose password users of the board say they hacked. Emails, allegedly Palin's, are now circulating on the Net. The whole thing could be a prank. But both accounts are now gone -- which raises a much more serious issue.

In the aftermath of the supposed hacking, someone deleted both the gov.palin@yahoo.com and gov.sarah@yahoo.com accounts. Emails sent from Palin's Yahoo account made up part of a government inquiry into the firing of a state police commissioner; deleting the account would wipe out any emails investigators haven't already obtained. Could this be considered obstruction of justice?
