Study: Media coverage has favored Obama campaign
Comments made by sources, voters, reporters and anchors that aired on ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts over the past two months reflected positively on Obama in 65 percent of cases, compared to 31 percent of cases with […]

(Disclaimer: I’m paraphrasing but I got the gist of it right) “I saw two kids trick or treating, one was dressed as Mickey Mouse, the other was an ACORN volunteer trying to register him to vote.”

Michelle Malkin reports that the Ohio employee who searched state records for dirt on Joe the Plumber, did so under orders:
(Ohio Department of Job and Family Services) Director Helen Jones-Kelley said her agency checks people who are “thrust into the public spotlight,” amid suggestions they may have come into money, to see if they […]

A Washington Post blog I just posted about, on how media coverage for McCain has been far more negative than coverage for Obama, has a comment that is so on the money. Scroll down a bit and look for beezdotcom’s comment from 7:14PM:
They could do a story on each candidate kissing a baby […]

No, not the headline–Study: Coverage of McCain Much More Negative Than That of Obama–but the fact that it was published on the Washington Post’s website!
Here’s a little snippet:
Media coverage of John McCain has been heavily unfavorable since the political conventions, more than three times as negative as the portrayal of Barack Obama, a […]

If Michelle Malkin hadn’t posted this item on her blog, I’d never have believed it. The New York Times–THE freaking New York Times?!?!–looking into ACORN’s shenanigans?
Yep:
An internal report by a lawyer for the community organizing group Acorn raises questions about whether the web of relationships among its 174 affiliates may have […]

The Military Times newspaper published the results of a presidential election poll of military personnel from all branches of the military (link in PDF).
Guess who our troops support by a nearly 4 to 1 margin? Awwww, c’mon, guess!
That’s right: McCain. Let me say that again: our troops support McCain […]

One at a time:
I know a young man who is in desperate need of help. His name is PFC Hunter Levine. He is 20 years old and hails from Houston, TX.
He was in my company and was wounded on 9 May, 2008 while conducting combat operations in East Baghdad. He received a very serious […]

Looks like somebody has finally put together a repository of Obama’s shady past.
ObamasPast.com includes videos, links to sites where he is quoted saying scary stuff (but ignored by the MSM, of course) and more. We’ve added a link to our sidebar as well.
Hat tip to a good friend who wishes to […]

Iowahawk nails it.
He was a guy tossing a football with his kid in the front yard of his $125,000 house when a politician picked him out as a prop for a 30 second newsbite for the cable news cameras. Joe simply had the temerity to speak truth (or, if you prefer, an uninformed […]

This is awesome.
Army Specialist Stephen Fortunato gave his life a few weeks ago fighting the bad guys in Afghanistan. He blogged when he had some spare time and his mother released his August 30, 2008 entry to the Boston Globe (I know, I was shocked too that they’d actually publish it). […]

Thanks to Americans for Limited Government for the cartoon.

This is scary news from McClatchy newspapers:
A growing al Qaida-backed insurgency, combined with the Pakistani army’s reluctance to launch an all-out crackdown, political infighting and energy and food shortages are plunging America’s key ally in the war on terror deeper into turmoil and violence, says a soon-to-be completed U.S. intelligence assessment.
Yep, a nuclear power […]

Via Michelle Malkin, we learn today that Jack Murtha–you know, the Pennsylvania Congressman known for calling Marines murders–has, in essence, called his constituents racists:
…Murtha made the following statements to reporters regarding Barack Obama’s prospects in the upcoming presidential contest: “There’s no question Western Pennsylvania is a racist area.”
Another reason for Western Pennsylvanians to vote […]

…for now, at least:
…Sixth Circuit court ruling tonight, which orders fraud-friendly Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner to implement a new system to verify voter registrations.
For a little background, Brunner–a Democrat–has been fairly partisan as the head of elections for the State of Ohio. You may recall Brunner was the one who wanted to […]

Guess who’s voting for Obama?

The logo says it all. Hat tip: Michelle Malkin.

Quote:
“I think that when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”
Yeah, Obama said that out loud. That’s what happens when he goes off script/teleprompter.
Hat tip to Michelle Malkin.

Here’s the ad I wish the RNC and McCain campiagn would run to counter the gazillion Obama ads airing now on TV and radio:
:60 RADIO
ANNCR: By now, you’ve seen or heard the Barack Obama for President ads. It’s hard not to. They’re all over the air.
ANNCR: […]

This is what the flag will look like if (Heaven forbid) Barack Obama wins:

One hammer and sickle for each of Obama’s 57 states.

I’m shocked that AP let this one slip through. The editors there must be asleep at the wheel or something. Because they published an article admitting that Obama gave a $75,000 grant to a cousin of his wife Michelle while he was an Illinois state senator.
Of course, all kinds of folks defending […]
