From someone who was actually at the rally where John McCain's words about the economy were immediately twisted around and used against him, I support this. The people should be deciding this election, not the liberal media. The leftist journalists are like slimy snakes when they are around McCain/Palin and like cuddly cute teddy bears when they are around Obama. Maureen Dowd deserved what she got and so do the rest. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Sorry. From someone who was actually at the rally where John McCain's words about the economy were immediately twisted around and used against him, I support this.

If so, it is troubling. Depending on the venue, can a campaign even do this legally? Anyway, we will see if it holds up and go from there.

And yes, this is reminiscent of Red China or Russia at its worst eras of oppression.

All in the name of “freedom and democracy” “dontcha know *wink*”. And here I thought “freedom and democracy” couldn't be sucked any drier of meaning.
