SOME TALKING POINTS:

I’m mentioning some of the stories below, how their rallies are inciting people to violence, how he seems ill and out of sorts, the AIP story.


McCain Sat On Board Of Radical Group
AP: Organization "Linked To Former Nazi Collaborators And Ultra-Right-Wing Death Squads"

“The U.S. Council for World Freedom was part of an international organization linked to former Nazi collaborators and ultra-right-wing death squads in Central America. The group was dedicated to stamping out communism around the globe.

The council's founder, retired Army Maj. Gen. John Singlaub, said McCain became associated with the organization in the early 1980s as McCain was launching his political career in Arizona. Singlaub said McCain was a supporter but not an active member in the group.

"McCain was a new guy on the block learning the ropes," Singlaub told The Associated Press in an interview. "I think I met him in the Washington area when he was just a new congressman. We had McCain on the board to make him feel like he wasn't left out. It looks good to have names on a letterhead who are well-known and appreciated.” CONT….

PAlIN’S SECRECY

“Sarah Palin's promise for a new era of government openness as the reform governor of Alaska started to crack even before Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign built a wall of protectiveness around her.

Palin was elected nearly two years ago with splashy moves like publishing the state spending checkbook online. She kept a campaign pledge to allow the public to view online communications between state officials and potential bidders on a major gas pipeline, a contrast to her predecessor.

But her administration has claimed broad exceptions to Alaska's freedom of information rules to keep government e-mails secret, and it's shown reluctance to disclose documents about sensitive topics, ranging from polar bears to policy issues. And her state's online checkbook is limited in its detail.” CONT

1. Ok I wrote to ALL OF THEM..
This is what i sent if anybody wants to copy it or change some words.. don't want them to think we are a group out to "get them"

____________________________________________________________________________________
When are you going to begin working for the American people? Can you report the facts? Can you actually, for once do your work and make the McCain/Palin accountable for the violence they are igniting in their political rallies? Do you have any guts and some journalistic integrity left? We all know McCain's campaign is desperate, but how low can they go to win the presidency and retain power? Their rallies have become "hate" rallies. Their words are angry insinuating Senator Obama is a terrorist to the point where some of their supporters have replied "kill him" in the last two days, and JOhn McCain did not do anything to denounce this garbage. Senator McCain did the least presidential thing of his entire campaign by not stopping and admonishing the crowd for shouting something as reckless and hate-filled as "kill him" or Terrorist.

It is important that you, as our news-outlet, to hold them accountable. You must not let them get away with this. Should we start mourning for our country? Have our country become the thugs of al Qaeda or the clergy of Iran ? -

The question then should not be, who is the real Barack Obama, but who the real McCain/Palin base is?.

Until when will the media let McCain and Palin continue to incite violence and get away with it? Just remember, if the Media and the press fails the American people, Democracy fails.

Sincerely,

A very concerned Hispanic -American
