	<p>Poor Obama! Where’s HIS country music? Can a man be elected president of these United States without the backing of real American music? I don’t think so. Those Germans and Euro-peons may love the guy, God bless em, but these folks here in this video get to vote for the Leader of the Free World. So long, it’s been good to know ye, Obama. &#8220;Auf Wiedersehen&#8221; until we all learn to speak French or one of those other useless Euro-lingos. For now - we’re all just raisin’ McCain.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Al Franken, after becoming known from his performances on the comedy show &#8220;Saturday Night Live,&#8221; attempted the writing of some books on comedy. When those books failed to bring him much success,  Al Franken discovered that he could ride the road to riches and success on the coattails of current popular conservative political pundits and others by including their names in the title of a book. </p>
	<p>His first big success was &#8220;<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?path=ASIN/0385314744&amp;link_code=as2&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;tag=neddsnookonth-20&amp;creative=9325">Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=neddsnookonth-20&amp;l=as2&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;o=1&amp;a=0385314744" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />.&#8221; That book set the stage for his continuing attacks on conservatives, as it played into the hands of those on the left who had already coined the gratuitous smear which was Franken&#8217;s choice of a title. Although totally without experience in political punditry, Al Franken became the &#8220;official expert&#8221; on Rush Limbaugh, whenever one was needed by the &#8220;in the tank&#8221; media, even though he had done no in depth research on Limbaugh, nor knew him personally. </p>
	<p>Franken then presented himself as the Liberal alternative to Rush Limbaugh, again without much success. When the outspoken Bill O&#8217;Reilly topped the media charts, Franken again rushed to write another book hoping to once more glide to the Best Seller List whilst standing on the back of a popular conservative pundit. The repeated accusations in a Franken book are that the subjects of his books are liars, one and all. Yet, he describes himself as someone who holds himself  &#8220;<em>to an impossibly high standard when it comes to telling the truth.</em>&#8221;  That statement may be the only &#8220;<em>truth</em>&#8221; that Franken has ever spoken or written, as obviously his &#8220;<em>impossibly high</em>&#8221; standard has been impossible for even him to reach. </p>
	<p>Alan Skorksi tells the truth about Al Franken and his &#8220;lying lies&#8221; in his book. Skorski&#8217;s book cannot be expected to be the big seller that Franken&#8217;s books about George Bush, Bill O&#8217;Reilly and Rush Limbaugh have been, because Skorski&#8217;s subject, Al Franken, is not at all a peer to any of them. However Mr. Skorski set the record straight by telling the truth about Al Franken and his &#8220;<em>lying lies&#8221;</em> and &#8220;<em>smearing smears.</em>&#8221; <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?path=ASIN/1581824807&amp;link_code=as2&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;tag=neddsnookonth-20&amp;creative=9325">&#8220;Pants on Fire: How Al Franken Lies, Smears And Deceives</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=neddsnookonth-20&amp;l=as2&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;o=1&amp;a=1581824807" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />&#8221; by Alan Skorksi.<br />
<blockquote>&#8220;<em>Skorski reveals that Franken himself regularly lies, smears, and distorts what others say and do, ultimately discrediting himself as a &#8216;truth teller.&#8217;</em> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?path=ASIN/1581824807&amp;link_code=as2&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;tag=neddsnookonth-20&amp;creative=9325"></a> </p>
	<p><em>&#8220;Al Franken was a &#8216;nobody&#8217; in the arena of political punditry before he wrote two best-selling books, Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot and Lies and Lying Liars Who Tell Them. Now one of the most prominent figures on the liberal Air America radio network, formed to counter the mostly conservative voice of mainstream talk radio, he consistently boasts &#8216;I tell the truth&#8217; and &#8216;I hold myself to an impossibly high standard when it comes to telling the truth.&#8217;&#8221;</em></blockquote>
 &#8220;<em>Until now</em>,&#8221; says Alan Skorksi, &#8220;<em>Franken&#8217;s continuous smears against his enemies while promoting himself as the &#8216;ultimate truth teller&#8217; have gone unchallenged by the mainstream media. Surprisingly, even conservative or right-leaning media have not challenged the falsity of much of what he says, although Franken does not define what he believes is a lie, except to say that conservatives &#8216;get away with it.&#8217;&#8221;</em> In contrast, Skorski defines a lie as &#8216;<em>intentionally telling an untruth with the purpose of trying to cover up or get away with something,</em>&#8216;  which he then accuses Franken of doing with impunity.

Or are they? “A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.” -Gerald A. Ford ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>To catch wild pigs one goes into a forest where the beasts freely roam, to sprinkle some corn upon the ground. The pigs will soon discover your gift of food and return day after day, as long as you continue to replace the corn. Finally, when they become accustomed to receiving their daily free lunch, you install a fence along one side of the sprinkled corn.</p>
	<p>When they lose their fear of the fence and begin to return to eat the corn, you construct another side of the fence. You continue this maneuver until there are four sides of the fence firmly standing with a gate in the final side. The pigs become so used to the free corn that they pass right on through the open gate. That is when you slam shut the gate, capturing the entire herd before they know what is happening to them. It is all accomplished without a shot being fired.</p>
	<p>Humans have learned long ago that there is no such thing as a free lunch, that is why they are smarter than wild pigs. Or are they? </p>

		<description><![CDATA[The Edwards Audacity of Hope Timeline: The John Edwards campaign website proudly tauts his Father of the Year Award among the beautiful senator’s many accomplishments. Who’s Dumber than Dirt? John Edwards or His Supporters?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p><strong>Who&#8217;s Dumber than Dirt? John Edwards or His Supporters?</strong></p>
	<p><strong>The Edwards Endless Audacity Timeline:</strong> </p>
	<p>July 6, 2004: Senator John F. Kerry, the Democratic nominee, selects Senator John Edwards as his running mate.</p>
	<p>Nov. 3, 2004: John Kerry concedes defeat to President Bush. Edwards&#8217; wife, Elizabeth, is diagnosed with breast cancer.</p>
	<p>February - March 2006: John Edwards meets Rielle Hunter in a bar at the Regency Hotel in New York City. &#8220;<em>She enjoyed sex, drugs and had fun, but that doesn&#8217;t mean she robbed banks,</em>&#8221; says Rielle&#8217;s best friend, the aptly named Pidgeon O&#8217;Brien. </p>
	<p>July 2006:  The contributions of Edwards&#8217; supporters enable the John Edwards&#8217; One America Committee to pay Rielle Hunter more than $100,000 to produce four videos about Edwards. </p>
	<p>Dec. 28, 2006: Edwards announces his candidacy for the 2008 Presidential nomination.</p>
	<p>Dec. 31, 2006: The Edwardses celebrate New Years Eve with John confessing his affair with Rielle Hunter to Elizabeth.</p>
	<p>March 2007:  Elizabeth Edwards announces that her cancer, formerly in remission, has returned and there is apparently no cure. </p>
	<p>May 2007: Two months <strong>after</strong> the sad announcement by John Edwards&#8217; wife, his mistress, Rielle Hunter, miraculously conceives a &#8220;fatherless&#8221; child.</p>
	<p>June 27, 2007: John Edwards is honored by the Father&#8217;s Day/Mother&#8217;s Day Council as &#8220;Father of the Year,&#8221;  which is great timing for the &#8220;Two Americas - Two Families Candidate!&#8221;</p>
	<blockquote><p><img src='/images/johnedwardsscreenshot1.jpg' alt='Father of the Year' /><br />
The John Edwards campaign website proudly tauts his Father of the Year Award among the &#8220;family values&#8221; senator&#8217;s many accomplishments.
</p></blockquote>
	<p>August 9, 2007: ABC News gushes over John and Elizabeth Edwards&#8217; Renewal of their Wedding Vows. The countdown begins for the birth of Rielle&#8217;s &#8220;fatherless&#8221; child in seven months.</p>
	<blockquote><p><a href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/scott-whitlock/2007/08/09/abc-gushes-over-very-personal-photos-john-edwards-wedding-renewal"><img src='/images/20070809ABCEdwardsWedding.jpg' alt='Edwards Wedding Vows' /></a></p></blockquote>
	<p>Oct. 10, 2007: The National Enquirer reports that Edwards had an affair with Hunter. Edwards dismisses the story as trash talk telling reporters: &#8220;<em>The story is false. It&#8217;s completely untrue, ridiculous.</em>&#8221; Rielle Hunter also denies the allegations. Knowing that her husband is lying to the American electorate, Elizabeth says nothing.</p>
	<p>Dec. 19, 2007: The National Enquirer reports that Rielle Hunter is more than six months pregnant and has revealed to a close confidante that Edwards is the father of her baby. The scandal is squashed as ex-Edwards aide and family man, Andrew Young, 41, claims paternity.</p>
	<p>Jan. 30, 2008: Edwards ends his campaign for the Democratic nomination, throwing his support to Obama. Hillary Clinton&#8217;s supporters feel slighted.</p>
	<p>Feb. 27, 2008: Rielle Hunter gives birth to her daughter, Frances Quinn Hunter. Although Andrew Young claimed to be the sire, Ms. Hunter does not record a father on her daughter&#8217;s birth certificate.</p>
	<p>July 22, 2008: The National Enquirer, acting upon an inside tip, confronts John Edwards, in the wee hours of the morning, secretly leaving the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.  John Edwards runs and hides in the men&#8217;s restroom. The Enquirer claims he was visiting Ms. Hunter and &#8220;their&#8221; baby daughter.</p>
	<p>July 23, 2008: At a news conference in Houston, Edwards says &#8220;<em>the tabloid trash is full of lies</em>.&#8221;</p>
	<p>Aug. 6, 2008: National Enquirer publishes photos that it says are of Edwards with Rielle Hunter and of him with her baby.</p>
	<p>Aug. 8, 2008: Edwards finally comes clean, sort of, and admits to having had an affair with Ms. Hunter while stating that the possiblity of him being the father of his mistress&#8217;s baby is quite impossible.</p>
	<p>Aug. 8, 2008: Elizabeth Edwards in a blog posting writes that her husband made a &#8220;<em>terrible mistake</em>&#8221; but that the healing process was &#8220;<em>oddly made somewhat easier</em>&#8221; after her diagnosis of breast cancer in March 2007. She blames the media for the harm done to her family.</p>
	<p>Aug. 8, 2008: Speaking to Bob Woodruff of ABC, John Edwards, 2007 Father of the Year, denies Rielle Hunter&#8217;s baby. &#8220;<em>I don&#8217;t know who that baby is, I have no idea what that picture is.</em>&#8221; Woodruff asks <em>&#8220;&#8230; are you saying you don&#8217;t remember holding that child of Miss Hunter?&#8221; </em>Edward answers <em>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know who that baby is.&#8221;  </em>The reporter continues: <em>&#8220;&#8230; you don&#8217;t remember a baby being there?</em> &#8221; For the third time John Edwards, Father of the Year, denies the baby: &#8220;<em>No</em>.&#8221;</p>
	<p>Aug. 9, 2008: Big time John Edwards supporter, Dallas lawyer Fred Baron, reveals that he paid for Rielle Hunter and Andrew Young to move to California because they were being hounded by tabloids in North Carolina. The trial lawyer added that he paid all expenses directly, using his own money and not campaign funds, and that John Edwards knew nothing of it. He thereby saves John Edwards&#8217; sorry hide from doing prison time. News outlets report that Rielle Hunter and Andrew Young are living in multimillion-dollar-homes and that each is receiving towering financial payments; Ms. Hunter&#8217;s amounting to $15,000 a month.</p>
	<p>September 2008: Continuing with the audacity that never ends, religious politician John Edwards appears on the cover of  the magazine of  faith, culture and politics, &#8220;Sojourners&#8221; with his preaching inside. In a piece titled &#8220;The Right Thing to Do,&#8221; John Edwards explains how we can do something about poverty.   </p>
	<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.sojo.net/index.cfm?action=magazine.home" title="September Issue"><img src='/images/sojourners.jpg' alt='Sojourners Magazine' /> </p></blockquote>
	<p>Feel free to add to this timeline, as I cannot possibly keep up with the strange and complicated activities of the Edwards family. <strong>Two Americas Indeed! There is the America of the Edwardses and the America of the rest of us peons.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p><strong>Who Needs a Birth Certificate? Not John McCain Nor Barack Obama!</strong></p>
	<p>Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States requires that the President of the United States be a ‘<em>natural born Citizen</em>:’ “<em><strong>no person except a natural born citizen … shall be eligible to the office of president</strong></em>.” Now, some mean ole meanies have demanded to see Barack Obama’s Hawaiian birth record to discern if he is in fact eligible under the U.S. Constitution to be sworn in as President. Seems that the state of Hawaii will not release birth certificates to anyone outside of the immediate family. </p>
	<p>WorldNetDaily.com is reporting that the birth certificate copies supplied by the Obama campaign were forgeries made from a copy of the birth certificate of Obama’s sister:</p>
	<blockquote><p><em>the birth certificate posted on the Daily Kos website and later on Sen. Barack Obama’s “Fight the Smears” campaign website is fraudulent, and now two different actions have been launched to try and obtain the truth about the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee’s birth.</em></p></blockquote>

	<p><strong>Constitution - Constitution?  Who needs a Constitution when we have the United States Senate and the Supreme Court to boot?</strong>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p><strong>We must forgive John Edwards as he is a narcissist. However, should Elizabeth Edwards be forgiven for her lies to America?</strong></p>
	<p>Who are you going to believe - former Senator and Presidential candidate John Edwards, or the &#8220;National Enquirer?&#8221; That was my dilemma a few weeks ago, when I read conflicting news reports on the very same day that the Obama Campaign was considering John Edwards as its choice for Vice Presidential candidate. Because John Edwards condemned the National Enquirer revelation of his mistress, Rielle Hunter, as trash talk, I did not accept the story as true. Like many other Americans, once again I was taken in by a political liar. Because the mainstream media will no longer reveal to us the known moral failings of Democrats, we the American public must now learn to trust the &#8220;National Enquirer.&#8221; The Enquirer is correct now, and it has been correct in the past, a la Jesse Jackson.</p>
	<p>The mainstream media is finally following the National Enquirer&#8217;s lead. See ABC News: <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=5441195">Edwards Lied as Presidential Candidate</a>.</p>
	<p>Now to get to the &#8220;Rich Wretches&#8221; part of this story. It is agreed by all, including John Edwards himself, that he is a &#8220;Rich Wretch.&#8221; But what about Elizabeth Edwards? Is the picture painted of her by the mainstream media as the sainted, heroic, long-suffering wife, an accurate one? Incredibly, Mrs. Edwards has just published her diary at <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/8/8/193337/7354/473/564989">&#8220;Daily KOS&#8221;</a> wherein she places most of the blame for the current Edwards scandal and its harm to her family on &#8230; you guessed it &#8230; the media! She even refers to America&#8217;s interest in the character of a Presidential candidate as &#8220;<em>voyeurism</em>.&#8221; At the very same instant she writes of her husband: &#8220;<em>I am proud of the courage John showed by his honesty.</em>&#8221; Mrs. Edwards even validates her husband&#8217;s claim that because he betrayed his marriage vows whilst she was in remission from cancer, not in the throes of the terminal illness, that it was somehow okay. No, I do not understand the meaning of that pronouncement. Perhaps America&#8217;s strong, liberated feminists, such as Elizabeth Edwards and Hillary Clinton can explain that one to the rest of us.</p>
	<p>Elizabeth Edwards has every right as a private wife and mother to forgive or not forgive her jerk of a husband for cheating on her. However &#8230; her decision to publicly broadcast her support for John Edwards as a staunch family values candidate, when she knew he was nothing of the sort, shows her to be as much of a narcissistic deceiver as her husband. Her media-tauted courage in dealing with the loss of a child and her own cancer should not be a subterfuge for her deliberate attempts to mislead the American public into electing such a lying wretch as President.</p>
	<p>Narcissist John Edwards felt he was entitled to cheat on his wife and family, and keep it secret from the American voters, because he was a Golden Boy who could do no wrong. Besides, he had incredible monetary resources from campaign donors and his own family&#8217;s wealth to pay any hush money needed. Elizabeth Edwards agreed that they and their accomplices in the media could keep his mistress and her baby hidden while he was running for President of the United States. Surely the mainstream media would not stoop so low as to tell its readers the real sordid truth, they believed. Because Elizabeth Edwards has known of her husband&#8217;s betrayal at least since last fall when the National Enquirer first broke the story, it shows that she was an accomplice to the Edwards Campaign sham. Elizabeth Edwards knowingly encouraged her husband to enter the Presidential campaign and enthusiastically propagated the false image of John Edwards as a devoted husband and family man.</p>
	<p>Elizabeth Edwards was so ambitious of her husband gaining the United State presidency, not even her own metastasized cancer stood in the way. Facing a terminal illness, she was still willing to lie to all America about the character of her husband.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Please be aware of the following fraudulent and dangerous email supposedly from CNN. This has just recently started within the past week. I am receiving dozens of these a day, and although I have not clicked on any of the links, I have had to delete my email account from my computer. I now only fetch my mail on the Internet. This story has been verified at TruthOrFiction.com which follows:</p>
	<blockquote><p><strong>Email Offers Links To The CNN Top 10 Stories-Virus!</strong> </p>
	<p>Summary of the eRumor:<br />
A message appears to be from CNN and shows links to videos linked to the top 10 CNN stories. </p>
	<p>The Truth:<br />
This email is a virus that began circulating August 6, 2008.</p>
	<p>The email includes graphics that appear to be from CNN and claims to be talking about the Top 10 stories as well as offering links to videos about them.</p>
	<p>If you click any of the links, however, a message appears telling you that you do not have the correct version of Flash Player as well as a box you can click to download it.</p>
	<p>That click, however, does not download Flash Player, it connects you to a web site that can infect your computer with malware.  Security experts are still trying to pin down what code is downloaded to your computer, but it could be the type that connects your computer as part of a massive network of home and business computers that are used to send out similar fake emails, spam, or to try to harvest personal and financial information.</p>
	<p>One frustration was that when you clicked the link and got the phony Flash Player warning, you could not get out of it, even if you chose &#8220;cancel.&#8221;</p>
	<p>Samples that we have gotten were titled &#8220;Top 10&#8243; when in fact 20 stories are listed. </p>
	<p>One security company estimated that more than 1,000 hacked web sites are hosting the fake Flash Player program.</p>
	<p>Adobe.com, the makers of Flash Player, warned not to download Flash Player from any source other than Adobe.com. </p></blockquote>

First he bounces two women from an audience where he is speaking because his campaign was fearful and or offended by their Muslim head coverings.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p><strong>Reaching Out to HAMAS to Win the U.S. Presidency</strong></p>
	<p>Add this to the reasons Kerfuffles has already given (see &#8220;<a href="http://kerfuffles.blogsome.com/2008/07/18/the-big-black-hole/">Black Hole in Dallas</a>&#8220;) that Obama cannot be elected President of these United States: <strong>He offends Muslims</strong>. First he bounces two women from an audience where he is speaking because his campaign was fearful and or offended by their Muslim head coverings. Then his campaign brings on board a &#8220;Muslim Coordinator&#8221; to help with &#8220;Muslim Outreach.&#8221; However, the Muslims he is &#8220;reaching out to&#8221; are NOT your so-called mainstream Muslim-Americans. </p>
	<p>According to today&#8217;s WaPo, he hired a Chicago lawyer, Mazen Asbahi to coordinate relations between followers of Islam and the Obama campaign. When the media inquired about Mr. Asbahi&#8217;s relationship with Jamal Said, Mr. Asbahi promptly resigned from the Obama campaign. Why? Obama&#8217;s Muslim Coordinator had served with Jamal Said on a board of a subsidiary of the North American Islamic Trust. It seems that the innocent-sounding trust, which owns mosques, Islamic centers, schools, and other United States real estate, was named in an investigation of alleged Hamas fund-raisers, which ended in a mistrial last year.</p>
	<p>See WaPo&#8217;s <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/06/AR2008080601081.html">Obama&#8217;s Muslim Coordinator Resigns</a></p>
