What amazes me, still, though I do not know why, is that folks will blast Mccain on an affair, his war record, the fact that he did not commit suicide, Cindy Mccain's money, her drug addiction, Gov Plain, her husband, children, even her little baby, her clothes
and on and on.
But when it comes to anything that questions Obama
well you are a right wing racist nut case.
Of course nothing biased there.

Are you stating that these are things that you wouldn't have slammed Obama on?

It's not an issue of "anything" that questions Obama. Have you not noticed that anything that is said about Palin (I notice you wrote Plain ) supposedly smacks of sexism? What's the difference? If you make racial slurs, you'll be called on the carpet about it. If we make sexist slurs, we will be. I see no difference here, unless of course someone can't think of anything better to do with their time.

WHAT a laughably lame attempt at covering your inability to answer a very simple question. It's your own ignorance of history that prevents you from answering.

A simple question that YOU have yet to answer, I'm not interested in some YouTube crap. It was a VERY simple question that you are apparently incapable of answering.

In the context of this thread about the 'great' communist threat::

Maybe because virtually all Americans have some small tie to communism thru their purchase of communist made/supplied products?

Maybe because many of those same people have profited thru stock ownership in companies trading with commusist countries?

Maybe because many/most of those same people have NEVER cheated on a spouse/lover and consider it wrong?

Maybe because many/most of those same people have NEVER abused drugs and consider it questionable behavior?

I personally feel the Cold War was a joke and a waste of the taxpayers's dollars... just more fear mongering... no reason to think that Communism would prevail in the end, if Democracy was/is a better deal riiiight? History is repeating itself now alright... more fear mongering... this time 'terrorism'. Most egregious terrorism happens at home and abroad, starting with big brother.

And once again you fail to answer the simple question about the debacle of chasing phantom threats of communist world domination in Vietnam.

If you do not know history I can't teach it to you on here with a few post. The best I can do is give you a 60 minute video and hope you do more research after viewing it. I know I know why try and help a liberal

I didn't read all those names, just skimmed them and I came across Joseph McCarthy! Now McCarthy was a lot of thngs, but he wasn't a communist! He was a communist witch hunter.
