Once again proving that the GOP is the the party of sleeze and low moral values. What else can you say about a people who claim a "right to life" that exists only for unborn life. Adults only have that right if they are right-wing christians. Of course the people of Mayanmar are not christian so they have no right to expect basic human dignity.

If Goodyear was an Obama person, he would be front and center with Rev Wright and the cable networks would be on it 24/7. Hardballing Chris would would be calling for Obama's superdelegates to run to Hill. But it is John Mac and "my friends" let me tell you something, Mac is bought and sold by "his true friends", the American lobbyists. As always the American press will give him a pass. The straight talker will just laugh it off the Bush way.

Interesting how McCain did not ask this man to resign or denounce him. I guess that is hard to do when you hand picked him. I bet we don't hear one word about this on MSNBC Morning Joe, Hardball or Race for the White House.

Wake up America! John McCain is no maverick. He is just another one of the many, typical Washington politicians run by and supportive of the big Lobbyists. Indeed, he is just another reason why Americans hate Washington.

Yes, McCain is foolish for his someof his associations, but so is Obama. In reality, so are we all. If the worse person you ever called friend, or aquaintance was put forth as a tie to your charachter we'd all look bad. Obama is not Rev. Wright, and i understnd how so many of you get offended by this unfare coverage and association; but don't go down the road of partisan hypocracy, thats why you hate the other side. There is nothing more negating of credibility than excusing yourself and attacking someone else for essentially doing the same thing as you yourself.

I find it hilarious that so many republicans and democrats consider their side persecuted by the media. You never hear a blind democrat admit that Keith Olberman (whom i find brilliant in his lambasting of many fools involved in the political process) is biased against the right. You can't get a diehard republican to own up to the fact that Fox News (which is hands down the most successful cable news organization) is so slanted that it is has sloped to complete verticality, in effect creating a wall that keeps any kind of objectivity out. You all need to stop diluting yourselves and the country at large, because this conception that your side is always right makes you sound like stubborn 4yr olds; you all sorely need a spanking of the mind, or at very least apreverbial bar of ivory in your mouths to shut you the hell up.

Actually everyone knows the media is biased and that goes for all sides. The real issue here is that McCain is more of the same we've had for the last seven years. They labeled Kerry a flip-flopper but this guy flip-flopped more times than an intern burger flipper with Parkinson’s at a newly opened Burger King. Maybe we can just call him King Flipper of Flop!

Actually, if you listen to people, many (not everyone) think the media is biased against them, thats the problem. Yes Obama seems fresher than the other two, but he's still a politician. Clinton and McCain are more of the same, and sometimes i get the sneaking suspicion that they are in fact the same person. However, i think you could probably get that point across without providing fodder for the Parkinsons comment. Im not sensitive about that type of thing, but Michael J. Fox is suffering from that man, have a heart.

I've rarely seen such inane reportorial comments in any piece from Newsweek. The mag must be slipping after reading ..."Further complicating matters: Isikoff's revelation that DCI was paid $348,000 in 2002 to represent Burma's military junta, leading "a PR campaign to burnish the junta's image, drafting releases praising Burma's efforts to curb the drug trade and denouncing 'falsehoods' by the Bush administration that the regime engaged in rape and other abuses." Ouch. "....

that element is a freestanding report, but then Newsweek aka Isikoff blows away all his credibility by adding ..." Apparently, Goodyear agreed." ...apparently ? Don't you think a "yes or no Goodyear agreed" would have been a more professional ending ?

McCain is as phony as a three dollar bill. He is on both sides of most issues with his campaign infested with special interest lobbyists. He cannot be trusted to do a single thing for the hard working Americans. As a multi-milliner he is simply out of touch and takes no responsibility for his absurd statements and shameful attacks on Obama, while promising to conduct a clean campaign. In his old well past the retirement age for most people, how can he be trusted to carry out enormous responsibly of such a demanding job for the next four years, when has seem to have already lost his bearings.

I really have to laugh at all of this. If the worst thing you can say about a guy is that six years ago he did some PR work for a group that turned out to be a bunch of slimeballs, then I would sya he is a pretty good person. The media is making a big deal out of this so the guy resigned to spare his friend (McCain) any further embarassment. I say that make him a pretty stand-up person; he saved his friend from having to make a hard call on whether this information warranted asking for his resignation.

I look at this alongside Obama taking months before he distanced himself from Rev Wright and ask you who is the bigger hypocrite.

The sad truth is that like the situation in Darfur, Myanmar has been a festering sore on the conscience of the World for longer than the six years that have elapsed since tMr. Goodyear's lobbying and P.R. assignment. He must have known he was representing a despicable regime.

Obama is no more a Muslim than John McCain is a war hero. Obama, as a child, spent two years in a public school in a Muslim country. McCain, as a prisoner of war, gave aid and comfort to the enemy by giving written and taped confessions that his country was engaged in a criminal war and that he was a war criminal.

Neither Obama nor McCain were in total control of their environment.

It is just as ignorant to say that Obama doesn't love America as it is to say that McCain doesn't love America.

People who still say the Obama is anything but a patriot tot this country or that he happens to be Muslim is plain stupid and anit-AMerican. Racists, Bigots and the like are people who should have been rooted out of this country when Hitler was destroyed. Obama is not a muslim, but that doesn't mean he is better than someone who is. He is Christian, but that doesn't make him better than those who aren't.

Define GOD. What color is he? What religion is he?

Some of you bigots are just plain ignorant. All men are created equal - and in GOD's image.

Obama represents ALL that America is and is going to be - a leader of the free world.

75% of the men and women in Iraq are voting for Obama - that should tell you something. They write from the battle fields to express their support of him and our great nation.

Anyone who says Obama is not a patriot are just unpatriotic Americans who spit in the eyes of our men in uniform who fight to defend our country on a daily basis and those who have died for our freedoms. You rip out the pages of our Constitution and burn it out of hate and stupidity.

SHE’LL HAVE WELL OVER 300 SOON, A LANDSLIDE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION. ALSO, MOST OF THE STATES OBAMA WON VOTED REPUBLICAN IN THE LAST ELECTION AND PROBABLY WILL AGAIN. THE SILLY CAUCUS SYSTEM REALLY SKEWS THE RESULTS AND ALLOWS ACTIVISTS TO UNDULY INFLUENCE THE NOMINATION, BUT THESE ACTIVISTS STILL ONLY GET 1 VOTE EACH IN NOVEMBER. OBAMA IS EASILY THE WEAKER CANDIDATE, AND IF HE LOSES IN NOVEMBER, THE SUPERDELEGATES WILL BE SKEWERED FOR NOT DOING THEIR JOB OF PICKING THE MOST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE.

I find it amazing that good investigative reporting can be categorized as "attacks" from the left or the right, depending on who your politcal hero is. This should be welcomed as it simply states the facts about these people running for politcal office and most often exposes their true colors. It is for us to decide if these facts are relevent and will have any bearing on our perception of the candidate as an idividual and as a potential leader of the nation. If Rupert Murddock acquires any more media outlets, there will not be any more unbiased reporting if it does not agree with his politcal views. So welcome these "attacks" from the left or the right as it is a sign no one politcal view has control of the information available to us - freedom of speech and freedom of press is one of this country's most endearing assets!

Thank you Newsweek for being willing to report the facts. The press has been negligent in giving voters a total picture of the real McCain. The thorough vetting of both McCain and Obama by the press is the only way voters can make an informed decision.

Facts are facts. Those who want to spread inuendo and false statements are the ones who really hurt our country in the end. I hope more voters will be willing to ignore the misinformation and obvious slurs, and pick the candidate they really believe will move our country in a new direction and away from the misguided paths of the Bush administration.

Obama is a communist muslim terrorist sympathizer? McCain admited the u.s. offensive in vietnam was a war crime while in a prison camp for years? Obama is a very successful and decent American, and John McCain served his country with honor and courage and survived through conditions that no one (myself included) could possibly imagine. I feel it is appropriate to explain the origin of the electoral college system; it was designed in order to hold the power of overruling the voice of the people if the powerful deemed the people were foolish in their choices.

Good point, Cookie.

This past Friday, Obama had to get rid of one of his campaign staff due to their connections to Hamas. It seems the media has chosen to sleep through that story, yet Newsweek devotes a whole column to a McCain staffer.

Of course, this comes after the puff piece done by Evans & Wolff about the wonders of Obama and how those nasty Republicans will attack him.

Hmm....seems Newsweek does not even try to hide their obvious bias towards Democrats and Obama in particular. Nice "news" magazine. It's just about as embarrassing as MSNBC, which has become the TV arm of the Democrat Party.
