Let the smearing commence. This is a truly pathetic attempt to connect Obama and Bill Ayers.

The EXTREME RIGHT Nazi mainstream press will try anything to scare the crap out of the American public.

TERROR ALERT ORANGE!
AVIATION ALERT RED!

Anybody hear the robo call the RNC is using? It was featured on Hardball this afternoon. Disgusting!!!

"Hello. I'm calling for John McCain and the RNC because you need to know that Barack Obama has worked closely with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, whose organization bombed the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, a judge's home and killed Americans. And Democrats will enact an extreme leftist agenda if they take control of Washington. Barack Obama and his Democratic allies lack the judgment to lead our country. This call was paid for by McCain-Palin 2008 and the Republican National Committee at 202-863-8500."

Heard Dashele on the radio today lamenting that making these calls against the law runs afoul of the first amendment.

Bummer that.

How about limiting their time? We don't let free speech get in the way of shouting "bomb" or "fire" in the theatre, so why can't we carve out some quiet time for ordinary people to limit this thing?

During those times, many could choose to not answer the phone, for example, or look at the caller ID. Anything but just randomly hammering people day in and day out, trying to flip a few morons...

If these were the good old days, someone like Captain Crunch could knock out the robohaters. Or better yet, bury them in bills by rerouting the calls somewhere that is long distance and really expensive. Preferably a place where they do not speak English.

The reactionary scary terrorist pot-stirring lunatic of the day award goes to Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota. I think somebody might have missed their medication and deserves the benefit of the doubt. On the other hand, maybe she really is that unhinged all the time.

Michele Bachmann is one of the lamest human beings on this earth. I can't believe she holds an elected office. I hope her district punishes her for such ridiculous remarks. I'm pretty sure Chris Matthews was ready to punch her out if she had been there in person.

Wow! I just skimmed through her background and no wonder I can't stand her. She's a religious zealot nut job to the max. Karl Rove probably gets a woody just thinking about her (and so does James Dobson and George W. Bush).

Well then she should start campaigning against her own party members that have aligned themselves with Obama, eh? Sure. Why not? Really be that maverick. Show some spine.

I do LOVE how these issues are forcing people to go on record. Hopefully people will remember this kind of shit in every election. I know that I will.

" I know that I lied and tried to scare you before. Sorry about that. I was just kidding...please vote for me this time though. I like power so much and I really don't know how to be a voice for you unless I can, you know, put words in your mouth."

Elwyn Tinklenberg’s congressional campaign received roughly $450,000 in contributions in the 24 hours following U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann’s controversial talk show appearance on Friday afternoon, campaign officials said today.

More than 9,000 individual donors contributed to the DFL- and Independence Party-endorsed challenger’s campaign from around the country, mostly through the Internet, said Tinklenberg spokesman John Wodele.

“It’s phenomenal what the Internet has done to politics,” he said. “I don’t think all these contributions are a result of her comments. But she put fuel on the fire. No doubt.”

The one-day haul would exceed what the Tinklenberg campaign raised in the last three months and total nearly half of what it has raised to date.

On Friday, Bachmann, R-Minn., told MSNBC talk show host Chris Matthews she thought Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and his wife Michelle “may have anti-American views” and said the media should investigate whether members of Congress are “pro-America or anti-America.”

A candidate’s personal relationships can tell you what kind of philosophy and decisions they would make if elected, and that’s what Bachmann was saying, said Michelle Marston, Bachmann’s campaign manager.

Marston said the campaign has received donations as well as phone calls in support and opposing Bachmann’s remarks.

“It’s that time of year,” she said. “The spin machine kicks into overdrive.”

Tinklenberg received about $250,000 of the donations directly through the campaign’s Web site, while another $200,000 came through ActBlue, a progressive political action committee that allows people to donate to particular candidates online, Wodele said.

One of those donating to ActBlue was Mark Fullerton, a Minneapolis resident who said he was offended by Bachmann’s statements.

“I just think the kind of dialogue we’ve descended into the last couple weeks is not good for the country,” he said. “Voters should be aware of the comments she’s made and the attitudes she has.”

Fullerton said he had followed Bachmann’s record and statements for the past two years but had only a passing familiarity with Tinklenberg’s campaign before Friday.

The donations will allow the Tinklenberg campaign to run more television advertising in the closing weeks of the campaign than would otherwise have been possible, Wodele said.

Backtrack coming from Michele Bachmann in 5, 4, 3, 2...

Michele Bachmann is a piece of shit. Rumor has it the RNC has cancelled her ads. Her opponent has raised over $1 million dollars in the few days since she spilled her vitriol. I hope she loses.

That is so cool!

Money talks and bullshit walks. Ever wonder why there is so much discussion about net-neutrality?

This is a big part of why. If we have a tiered Internet, this kind of organization won't work all that well, leaving the big money at an advantage.
