McCain claims he was in "cone of silence," then lies about POW story. If Obama did anything like this, his campaign would be doomed.

Dylan opened his set at the controversial 1965 Newport Folk Festival with the song, formally notifying the people of the folk world of his departure. As Obama gears up for the big election, does his love of the song mean he too will be abandoning the movement with which he is associated?

Why Won't The Media Pursue the Pentagon Propaganda Scandal?: "The last ten days have been among the most shameful in the history of American journalism. On April 20th, the New York Times published its expose of the Bush administration's use of Pentagon-approved, prepped, and financially-enriched 'military analysts' to appear on TV to help sell the invasion of Iraq, and then put a positive spin

Clinton is so desperate, she will blow any little thing out of proportion to an an advantage. Seriously, Obama's comments were not that bad. And really, who is telling people what they should think?

Sorry you don't get it. And sorry the New York Times has sunk to the point they print your petty little articles on their once respected pages.
