Remember, my post a complete sweep by the liberals! When a liberal newspaper, can imply that a lady like Mrs. Palin does porn movies, and the person that does it, stays employed, enough said!

yon's said:

congratulation for obama :-)

John Robinson said:

Doug, the newspaper published no such thing. It was a link on a blog called Culture Shock. Note the second word in the name of the blog.

Joe Killian said:

Also, it didn't imply she did porn movies. It explicitly stated that Larry Flynt was financing a spoof porn movie with a faux-Palin character.

And I was in good company in pointing it out. It was covered internationally by everyone from The Guardian to Fox News covered it.

And what would have been the front page had Sen. McCain won? "McCain Finishes Next-to-Last?"
Please show us the McCain front page you had pasted up in case he won, inquiring minds want to know.

John Robinson said:

We didn't finish the McCain page...only sketched it out. It was designed with the top half-plus of the page with a photo of the victorious McCain, with a story about the race at the bottom.

The two fronts are different because the Obama election is a first for America.

jaycee said:

So what was the headline? "McCain Triumps" or something a bit less enthusiastic?

John Robinson said:

We didn't write the headline, but it would have been something close to what we had this a.m.

Do you have a problem with the headline this morning?

jaycee said:

Nope, I don't have a problem.
Do you have a problem with what you would have had to print if Sen. McCain had won? Why are you so defensive about it?
Sounds like you might have had something sticking in your craw had that happened...

John Robinson said:

Nope. Just by your questions it seemed as if you were trying to get at something,and I wanted to help. I'm glad you liked the front.

Concerned for Our Constitution said:

Obama has been elected. There is however a huge question that hangs over his head. I thought about that question as he made his acceptance speech. The question is about his "natural born citizenship" status.

He has basically declared that his granadmother in Kenya is not telling the truth about his birth that took place in Kenya. He delcares to be a "natarual born citizen" of the USA. Important because it is "required" by the constitution.

In court documents submitted by Phil Berg, former deputy attorney general, of Pennsylvania, there is a recorded conversation with Obama's grandmother, that was witnessed by a bishop (also in court documents) stating that her grandson, Barack Hussein Obama, was born in Kenya.


Why the Democrat Party is NOT concerned with this is beyond interesting, especially since it could possibly unseat him. I


So, Obama, is declaring that his grandmother is NOT telling the truth, because he insist that he was born in Hawaii. Guys, I don't know about you, but there are not many grandmothers that are confused about their grandchildren's birthplace. She is pretty adamant that he was born in Kenya. Why would she lie?

The case has been appealed to the Supreme Court. Visit obamacrimes.com and justia.com (berg v obama) for information on this case. There are millions of Americans waiting and watching the outcome of this.

Your page is also in this collection from papers across the state:

The News & Record is the only one to go with the "poster" layout. It really stands out.

There seem to be a lot of concern regarding Obama's citizenship. I understand that his mother was an American citizen. Has anyone stated that his mother was Kenya. His father was from Kenya and attending school in Honululu.I also learned that McCain was born in South Central American - that is not in this country.

At any rate, I am very proud of this United States of American. It seems that God heard the cries of the oppressed (not only Blacks) but all "cries" and has empowered someone to try to help us.
