some of the latest vile garbage from evil and insane rethugs:

"The latest fashionable right-wing conspiracy theory: Obama didn't write his memoir, Dreams from My Father, Bill Ayers did!

You can't make this stuff up--or, if you're a writer for the fringe website the American Thinker (a major promulgator of numerous Obama smears) I suppose you can. One of its contributors, Jack Cashill, compared Obama's memoir with Ayers' Fugitive Days and concluded that only the former Weatherman could've authored Obama's book (even though, for starters, Obama got the contract for his book in 1990 and didn't meet Ayers until 1995, the year his memoir came out).

Normally I'd just ignore such bogus drivel, except that Cashill's smear was picked up by Andy McCarthy of National Review, which still enjoys (perhaps unfairly) a modicum of respectability.

"Did Obama Write Dreams from My Father ... Or Did Ayers?" asked McCarthy on Saturday. "I don't want to feed into what sounds, at first blush, like Vince Fosteresque paranoia," McCarthy writes, and then goes on to do just that. (In case you've forgotten, some conservatives accused Bill Clinton of murdering his longtime friend, Vince Foster, in 1993.) "

2. I Was Shocked And Appalled By This E-Mail I Received From A Repug Friend Today........

BEGINNING OF E-MAIL

Please forward to whom you think is going to vote for Obama…wake them up!

Subject: FW: It's time to be AMERICANS

Everyone of voting age should read these two books. Don't buy them, get them from the library before they are removed from the shelves.



From Dreams of My Father:'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was integrating myself to whites.'

From Dreams of My Father : 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'

From Dreams of My Father:'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'

From Dreams of My Father:'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'

And FINALLY the Most Damning one of ALL of them!!!

From Audacity of Hope:'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

* If you have never forwarded an e-mail, now is the time to Do so!!! We CANNOT have someone with this type of mentality running our GREAT nation!! I don't care whether you a Democrat or a Conservative. We CANNOT turn ourselves over to this type of character in a President. PLEASE help spread the word
Send to all you can!

END OF E-MAIL

That was what he sent me. I was totally outraged by this and wanted to immediately send a response back to him - but I bit my tongue and didn't. I really didn't want to get in a pissing contest with him - nor even acknowledge that this got my goat for fear that he would unleash an e-mail campaign on me that I wouldn't want to deal with either.

I sat back and just thought that in 21 days this would be all over - and people like him would realize that when Obama wins - the world will not end.

3. Friends

Maybe it's time to reevaluate who your friends are. This kind of hateful drivel would seem to disqualify this person from being one of my friends. I feel very sorry for this person who evidently believes this stuff.
