Ha Ha Ha... I wouldn't watch fox news again if my life depended on it.. Sheeple vision.

Thank's for the post. I will watch it and I do hope that even the Dem's who are voting for Obama will have an open mind and also watch it .

cool..good info!

I hope if people do watch this program, they consider the source.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle:

While Obama's campaign has fended off racially rooted attacks since its inception, analysts say the ones surfacing in the past few days have been more overt, arriving as many undecided voters are making their final decision. They are part of a recent stream of attacks on his background, including his religion and his connections to a former '60s radical.

Other recent attacks include the unsubstantiated allegation on Fox News' "Hannity's America" Sunday that Obama's community organizing work in Chicago was "training for a radical overthrow of the government." The incendiary allegations - as well as the anti-Semitic background of the source of the allegation, commentator Andy Martin - went unchallenged and undisclosed by the host, conservative commentator Sean Hannity. Fox said that the program is the host's opinion, even though the allegation was presented as a documentary.

The article goes on to say:

Earlier this week, Palin told a group of donors in Colorado that "this is not a man who sees America like you and I see America." Obama, Palin said, "is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough, that he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country," a reference to Obama's connection with Ayers, now a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Conservative talk radio show host Rush Limbaugh echoed this attack by referring to Obama's "mentorship" by Ayers; Obama was in elementary school when Ayers and the Weather Underground were carrying out bombings.

Politico.com described Obama's relationship with Ayers: "There's no evidence their relationship is more than the casual friendship of two men who occupy overlapping Chicago political circles and who served together on the board of a Chicago foundation." FactCheck.org, a nonpartisan fact-checking organization, confirmed that description.

And during the week of Sept. 28-Oct. 4, "nearly 100 percent of the McCain campaign's advertisements were negative," according to the nonpartisan Wisconsin Advertising Project. "During the same period, 34 percent of the Obama campaign's ads were negative."

Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Joe Biden worried Wednesday that the Republicans are injecting "fear and loathing" into the campaign.

"The idea that a leading American politician who might be vice president of the United States would not just stop midsentence and turn and condemn that - it's just a slippery slope, it's a place that we shouldn't be going," Biden said Wednesday on NBC's "Today" show, referring to the shouts of "terrorist" at Palin's rallies.

"I mean, here you have out there these kinds of, you know, incitements out there - a guy introducing Barack using his middle name as if it's some epithet or something," he said on CBS Wednesday. "This is over the top."

These attacks are no different from the kind Atwater - the political mentor of Karl Rove - launched during the 1980s, said Stefan Forbes, director of the documentary "Boogieman: The Lee Atwater Story," which opens Friday in San Francisco.

"I don't see how the Democrats don't understand the Lee Atwater playbook. His tactics have been winning elections, even after his death" in 1991, Forbes said. The Horton campaign "represented the triumph of spin and smear over the issues. They know that if you wrap things in the flag, you can sell anything."

The key to Atwater's success was that the candidates themselves remained above the fray.

"They were friendly, like (Ronald) Reagan," Forbes said. "Just like now, Palin is the friendly face, or George W. Bush was the guy you wanted to have a beer with. They'll dance around it and say (these tactics) aren't racist, but they are.

"The next couple of weeks are going to be really fascinating," Forbes said. "If the Atwater playbook can destroy Obama when the economy is collapsing the way it is, then it can accomplish almost anything."

But Stanford University political science Professor Paul Sniderman, who recently completed a survey on racial attitudes of voters, doesn't think the attacks will work. He also said widely circulated media reports that said "Obama's support would be as much as 6 percentage points higher if there were no white racial prejudice" were wrong.

Is Mr. Hannity going to go back to when Barack Obama was 8 years old? Those early years. Mr Obama was a child when Mr Ayers was making bombs to protest the Viet Nam War. Is that who you are referring to when you spoke about "radical leaders"?

Rev. Wright has grown progressively more anti-social and exhibits more psychotic behavior. I hope he gets help.

My curiosity has been piqued. I will watch the show.

McCain has steadily declined in the polls since the ugly attacks have begun. This show may ruin McCain's chances completely. Today at a rally, someone in the crowd yelled out "bomb Obama" - and of course the other remarks that have become familiar, like "terrorist" - "kill him" , etc. were made. This is a disgusting campaign.

People are getting very sick of the smear tactics - even McCain's own party is turning on him because of it.

So you guys enjoy the show - and keep up the negative rhetoric - it's doing Obama a world of good. He's up by 11 points over McCain in the polls.

I really hope that the McCain entourage did not "plant" a person in the audience to say those nasty words. It made Sen. McCain look like he could control a crowd. Also, when he told people that Sen. Obama was a family man etc., it hopefully wasn't a ploy to negate all the other negative and slanderous talk that has been the mainstay of his campaign. I also hope that Sen. Obama has not done any of that errant and insidious campaigning. OMG...has our election process degraded to that low standard...God help us all.
