Ms. Touchet’s commentary “Look beyond the lies, vote Barrack Obama,” provides interesting observations. Ms. Touchet is right on the mark in her assessments of lies, facts, mud-slinging and the like,
but well off the mark in blaming the Swift Boat guys and the Rove attack machine for most of the problems in the media. I’m sorry Ms. Touchet; I like others have seen through the “smoke and mirrors.”
When one seeks the most important job in the WORLD, character becomes an important issue. Any person who would attend a church for over 20 years, the same church where he was married and his
children were baptized, and proclaim the pastor as his mentor, praise him, liken him to his grandmother and then the following week “throw him under the bus” for political expediency, needs to be
examined carefully. In all my years on the face of this earth I have met pastors, priests, and rabbis and even met a few atheists and agnostics, none of whom EVER blasphemed their own country. Have
you?
Barry’s association with Bill Ayers, from the former Weather Underground, who instigated the riots at the 1968 Democratic National Convention and in 1970, was quoted as saying “Kill all the rich people.
Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that’s where it’s really at.” Now I ask you Ms. Touchet if Barry was your son, is that that the kind of friendship that you
would want for your son to have and one that you would take pride in? I think not.
Barry is short on experience, about three years in the Senate and NO military experience. “Packaged” by his campaign manager, David Axelrod (to his credit, GREAT job of marketing), long on rhetoric
with a “tainted” background too boot. I think the American people are smart, well versed and will read through “the smoke and mirrors.” In fairness to “Barry” and his campaign staff, they were to have
produced a 40-page document refuting some or all of the information I outlined above. Haven’t seen that document and if what I say isn’t the case, I will stand corrected.

SamuelB,
I told you to get off of moveon.stupid. Quit with the talking points already. BHO knew exactly who Bill Ayers was. BHO is a radical and no amount of BS from you Libs is going to change that. I thought BHO was done with the Washington Insiders SamuelB. He picked Joe The Cheat Bidden who has been in the Senate 10 years longer then McCain. He is a trumped up media candidate and you guys know it. Just look at the faces of the Hillary supporters SamuelB? They look real excited to be there.
I see where Roncharest is still living in the past. Kerry lost and you can blame the Swift boat guys all you want. That sorry sob came home and lied on the very men he served with. Lied about throwing his medals over the White House Fence which we later learned belonged to someone else. I guess you don’t ask don’t tell Navy guys see it differently but my father is a Vietnam Vet and is disgusted with the likes of Kerry & Jane Fonda who are Traitors for undermining those soldiers. And Ron, can you please spell BHO’s middle name for us?

Great letter Vic. This is what you bring to the table when your candidate is running on eight years of the most disastrous presidency in American history.
Keep slinging mud as long as you can and hope that people will lose sight of the big picture: the utter failure of George W. Bush and the Republicans.

Once again I find myself agreeing with Vic. Character IS important. For me, I want a man with strong family values to lead our country, not some bozo that had the “character” to dumped his family and began chasing skirts like a 19 year old. Yes character counts. Do we really want a whore as first lady - even if she is rich? Not me. I’m voting for Obama.

I agree. I have looked “beyond the lies”; the Obama lies & I have seen the darkness.
I find that the “95 percent” he speaks of is for one of the eight years George Bush has been in office. I have seen that his responsible end to the war in Iraq is no more responsible than the ends to the wars in Korea & Vietnam; resulting in the enslavement of millions to brutal dictatorships, mass murder, & mass starvation.
I have seen the ageism, I’m older than Sen. McCain, the racism, the class warfare.
I have seen the spawn of Bill Ayers, marching through the streets of Denver,
wearing masks, shouting, “F*** America!“
& menacing news media. I have not seen a condemnation of their actions by Sen. Obama, but he has not condemned Jeremiah Wright either.
I have seen the thousands of lobbyists,
supposedly disdained by Sen. Obama, partying in Denver; they know a lie when they see one.
But, Vic, please stop calling him “Barry”. Barry Goldwater is one of only three Republicans I have voted for in 50 years; Sen. Obama will never be half the man Barry Goldwater was.

Mr. Poillucci,
If you’re going to insult a United States Senator and leading presidential candidate, could you at least spell his name correctly? It’s “Barak,“ not “Barry.“
Oh, and if you haven’t seen Senator Obama’s 40 page document (which has been published and is freely available on the Obama for President website) which fact-checks Swift boat writer Jerome Corsi’s latest book, perhaps you shouldn’t be commenting on it. I suspect if you did read it, and kept your word, you would stand corrected.
Thank You,
Ron “Captain Grammar” Charest

“Viccy,“ you do realize that Sen. Obama was about 8 when the Weather Underground was an active terror organization, right? Ayers is currently a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago and active on the boards of a few civic organizations. It would have been impossible for Obama to not have some interaction with him while rising through the ranks of Chicago politics. Their relationship consisted of an introduction by a state senator at an Ayers house party and three years of quarterly board meetings with an anti-poverty grant-writing organization. The senator does not count Ayers among his close friends. Additionally, I think that Sen. McCain’s former relationship with John Hagee puts him on equal footing with Sen. Obama on the issue of controversial clergy.
The real smoke and mirrors here, Viccy, is the sort of character assassination committed by people who assume the American people are too dumb to examine candidates’ platforms and can be directed to vote based on vicious sound bites.
