FOX Invents Story About Obama Giving The Finger During Rally
April 22, 2008
By Rob @ 10:27 a.m. The FOX network is promoting a story suggesting that Barack Obama made an obscene gesture during a campaign appearance.  FOX's picture of Obama supposedly flipping the bird is above, and should be compared with these other famous fingers:  George Bush flipping off the camera, Pat Robertson's unfortunate choice of scratching finger while on live TV, and former Vice President Nelson Rockefeller letting hecklers know his inner thoughts (that's Bob Dole in the background).

April 21, 2008

See it asks a question: Are they brothers? In other words, is he Muslim ? I don't know. He says he's not. I hope he's not. But I don't know. And it's just something to try to stir people's minds. It was never intended to hurt feelings or to offend anybody."

Twice-Divorced, Pro-Choice Giuliani Takes Communion During Papal Mass
April 19, 2008
By Rob @ 9:22 p.m. In violation of Catholic Church doctrine, Rudy Giuliani, the twice-divorced, pro-abortion rights former GOP presidential candidate was allowed to receive communion during a mass celebrated by Pope Benedict.  Church rules preclude a person who has divorced and remarried without obtaining an annulment from taking communion.  During the 2004 election campaign, St. Louis Archbishop Raymond Burke forbade Democratic presidential nominee Kerry from taking communion while campaigning in the area due to Kerry's stance on abortion and stem cell research.  Numerous Democrats were also threatened with denial of communion in 2004 by the Archbishop of Washington, D.C., and one GOP operative suggested Kerry had "earned excommunication."

McCain And Clinton Call Obama An Elitist
April 12, 2008
By Rob @ 8:47 a.m. John McCain and Hillary Clinton are attacking Barack Obama as an "elitist" after Obama said that some people in small towns are "bitter" and "frustrated" because of their economic problems and the feeling that no one is looking out for them. 

McCain's old Phoenix mansion appeared in Architectural Digest, though he now lives in a more modest Phoenix condominium purchased by his beer-fortune heiress wife for $4.6 million.  They also have a ranch on 15 acres in Sedona, Arizona, a favorite vacation spot for the rich and famous, and a private jet at their disposal.  Hillary Clinton, after making $109 million since her husband left office, is one of the richest members of the U.S. Senate, which is essentially a millionaire's club.
