Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice dismissed rumors that she is trying to become Sen. John McCain’s running mate.
“I very much look forward to watching this campaign and voting as a voter,” she said. “I have a lot of work to do and then I’ll happily go back to Stanford.”
Earlier this week, a Republican strategist said Rice had been actively campaigning.
On Monday, Senator McCain remarked that if Condi is campaigning to be his running mate, it’s news to him. Even if she isn’t, she’s already garnered the endorsement of Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform.
OBAMA DELEGATE RESIGNS
( Photo: Daily Herald )A delegate for Sen. Barack Obama stepped down after using the word “monkeys” to describe children playing next door.
According to the Associated Press, Linda Ramirez-Sliwinksi, a trustee in the Chicago suburb of Carpentersville, was issued a $75 ticket for disorderly conduct after neighbors complained to police. She says the word wasn’t meant racially and she will fight the ticket.
On Saturday, two children were playing in a tree next door to Ramirez-Sliwinski’s home. She said the parents were outside supervising the children, but she went over and told them to get out of the tree because she was concerned about the boys’ safety and because the tree was being damaged.
She said the father of one of the boys told her it was none of her business and “I calmly said the tree is not there for them to be climbing in there like monkeys.” What do you all think about this?
U.S. USED 9/11 AS PRETEXT?
( Photo: Viktor Drachev/Agence France-Presse )On Tuesday, according to the Middle East Times, Iranian President Mahoud Ahmadinejad accused the U.S. of using the attacks on 9/11 as a “pretext” to launch invasions and cast doubt on the accepted version of the terror strikes.
“On the pretext of this incident a major military operation was launched and oppressed Afghanistan was attacked…Poor Iraq was attacked. According to official figures…one million people have been killed,” he said in a speech marking Iran’s day of nuclear technology.
Ahmadinejad also said the names of those killed in the attacks had never been published and questioned how the planes had hit the World Trade Center.
“An event was created in the name of the attack against the twin towers. We were all sad. It was said that 3,000 people were killed,” he said. “But the names of the 3,000 people were never published and nobody was able to respond to the main question, which is how is it possible that with the best radar systems and intelligence networks the planes could crash undetected into the towers.”
In related news, Gen. David H. Petraeus recommended Tuesday that consideration of any new withdrawals of American troops be delayed until the fall.
Thanks you J for at least posting something with relevance regarding the 911 situation..
The answers for 911 are out there and if you do your research you will come to the conclusion that at the very least something isn’t right…pressure the candidates to answer these questions…… Katrina was the test for martial law and it worked cause people stopped questioning or reporting on the fact that the police had the “shoot to kill” pass…..Patriotism will be the end all be all because in a short time agreeing with a comment like the one made by Iran’s president will put you in the category of a alleged terrorist and terrorists can be
1. Tortured
2. Held without a lawyer or without formal charges
3. Searched and seized with no warrant
Fema camps are being built all over the country to house these prisoners and I don’t know about your area but here in New York they are building one in the city as we speak…This will not be in the news or reported on but you can’t dispute whats in front of your face….ask why you don’t hear about this BUT you are bombarded with celebs, and insignificant political issues (abortion, race, immigration, etc)…
Obama = Uniting of races under one common goal – PATRIOTISM
All you pro Obama peoples including this site need to put the pressure on him because he COULD be great but nobodys asking the right questions…….
WAKE THE FUCK UP
@ KAY KAY if you don’t know the answers why don’t you try researching them
Truth be told America is the greatest country in the world but we truly have our flaws. We have made many enemies with many countries over time. It’s to the point where we don’t know who has it out for us as a country.
If you look at other countries, notice how their politics are not masked. There is no mistaking the intent of heads of countries such as Iraq and Iran. The intentions of their heads of government are known. We can’t say the same here, who vote based on a lie. 9/11 could have very well been staged but I do know that the government knows more than what they told the public.
@ 29 that shit is the dumbest shit i’ve heard in all of my life. When has the U.S government ever been pure in their intentions for the advancement of people of color in the country, at the end of the day anybody who has ever fought for the true meaning for truth, justice and equality is dead or in jail, Martin, Malcolm, Fred Hampton. For you information there have plenty of conspiracy theories that have been proven to be true. COINTELPRO(GOOGLE IT), was J. Edgar Hoover personal playground to torture and destroy the black panthers, have you been watching the news? these muthafuckas are just now starting to admit to M.L.K WAS FOLLOWED BY THE F.B.I
At the end of the day there is war going on and I’m not talking about the war in Iraq I’m talking about the war for your mind. people are sacrificing not their only there civil liberties in this country(patriot act,real i.d act, patriot act II) they are sacrificing their souls for the illusion that everything could be o.k if we buy into these vain and selfish concepts of a captalist gain. how can we talk millions dollars when the economy is failing us we speak. And do you think that shit is by chance or design…….Of course its by design I don’t think David Rockerfeller is too worried about tho. look at Africa in some parts over 65% of the populations are affected with the aids virus, all these fucking eugenicist “scientist” are donating Billions of dollars for so called “aids research” For your information eugenics is the study of human evolution through self intervention which believes that human population should be monitored.and reduced (look it up) over 5 billion people live on this planet the elite want to reduce it to 1 BILLION, thats 80% of the fucking population, shouldn’t the aids epidemic in Africa tell you something, Darfur, the war in Iraq, 911, New Orleans(police state is in effect)Iran Contra- connection, the crack epidemic in the 80s, THESE MUTHAFUCKAS ARE TRYING TO KILL YOU. WAKE YOUR ASS UP
AND IT WON’T MATTER WHO WINS THE ELECTION BETWEEN, MCCAIN, OBAMA (stop treating this nigga like he’s the messiah), CLINTON, THEY ARE ALL PAWNS, START ASKING QUESTIONS AND DO YOUR RESEARCH. IF YOU THINK YOU CAN PUT YOUR TRUST IN POLITICS YOU BETTER THINK AGAIN, NAZI GERMANY, ROME UNDER NERO RULE, THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA, CASTRO AND CUBA. YOU CANNOT TRUST THEM. Fred Hampton said it best “POLITICS IS WAR WITHOUT BLOODSHED AND WAR IS JUST POLITICS WITH BLOOD SHED” -in and out
If it wasn’t her tree, she should’ve minded her damn business. Kids have been climbing and playing in trees since there have been kids and trees.
Obama’s delegate……….doesn’t sound like the whole story, but if it is then she should fight tooth and name.
The iranian president…….someone told him to say that, we already got a glimpse of his intelligence level……no homosexuals in Iran and the Holocaust never happened.
The guy is too backwards to think forward on his own.
Concerning Politics and the current state of crisis in the Middle East:
People, read the bible. The end is near so no matter who is in office and what events transpire under any circumstances, what is destined to happen is going to happen. Read Revelations. If you’re too lazy to read watch left behind. Although it may not play out exactly as it did in the movie/book series, in the end times we will see martial law as we did in New Orleans with Katrina, and people who are against the Government will be treated as terrorist. The lines will be drawn and those left behind will have to choose between death by torture (courtesy of your government), or conformity and eternal damnation. call me crazy but this is what i believe and what your King James Bible teaches.
9/11 i believe it
Shit, I would have said the same damn thing! Even worse! I only got a 07 Sentra but STILL! I would be like, you best tell ya monkey ass kids to get the fuck off my car before I sue your ass. Any black person would have snapped back like that if the parent was ignorant enough to act like it was nothing. No, even if HE was in the same situation, he would say the same damn thing TOO.
@66
I guess acceptance of gays is progressive thinking. Even though he’s the president of a a Muslim country that implements sharia law and the Qur’an does vehemently denounce homosexuality. What was he thinking? That Ahmadinejad needs to wake up and get with the times, with his backwards thinking behind.
