State party chairman Linda Daves told McCain to butt out:
Contrary to any media reports, the 'Extreme' ad will run as scheduled next week. There has never been any intention to pull the ad and it will air. ...The Los Angeles Times reports the ad is part of a Republican strategy to define Obama as out of the mainstream:
People here in North Carolina should know that this ad is focused on Democrats Richard Moore and Beverly Perdue. By endorsing Barack Obama, they allied themselves with the most liberal person in the United States Senate. He is a candidate out of touch with the voters of North Carolina who does not share the values of North Carolinians. By refusing to stand up and rightfully denounce the statements made by his controversial former associates, Perdue and Moore are giving us the impression that they share these extreme views. The voters of North Carolina should be allowed to ask a legitimate question of candidates in North Carolina. ...
In Louisiana, a TV ad attacking Obama's healthcare agenda as "radical" proved so threatening that the House candidate it targeted, Democrat Don Cazayoux, distanced himself from Obama on Thursday, issuing a stern statement saying that he "has not endorsed any national politician."Meanwhile, Rev. Wright has broken his silence. In an interview with Bill Moyers, Rev. Wright said the attacks on him are politically motivated:
The flurry of attacks underscores how Republicans and their allies are sensing opportunity in the increasingly battered image of Obama, whom many Democrats have viewed as their best hope for appealing across ideological lines and helping their party win in conservative areas.
I felt it was unfair. I felt it was unjust. I felt it was untrue. I felt for those who were doing that, were doing it for some very devious reasons.Read the full story here. Rev. Wright's interview with Moyers airs tonight at 9:00 p.m. ET. To check your local listings, click here.

Well Well Well. Rev. Wright should be named Rev. Wrong
This is a classic case of "Crab in the Basket".This is a man of the cloth? Hate never wins Or did he just forget to take his Meds.
And how come he (Rev. Wright )gets to retire with a 1 million dollar Home and a credit limt of 10 million dollars. You pepole need to stop trashing Obama and take a look at the pimps you call Rev.

I AM ASHAMED OF ALL OF US RIGHT NOW. The truth is we all have a lot we still do not understand about each other. FIRST, please stop saying what GOD will do or not do because no one knows what HIS plan is. SECOND, everyone needs to stop summing all races into the "YOU PEOPLE" group. BILL THOMAS, there are things I cannot understand about your point-of-view, maybe I never will, but I respect your courage to speak. There are things about the AFRICAN AMERICAN culture that you clearly don't understand, and that's alright too. BUT LET'S ALL GET PASS THE ANGER AND BITTERNESS AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER BECAUSE WE ARE ALL AMERICANS AND THATS GOD DAMN AWESOME!

All of you Obama fanatics need to research a little about this guy - besides the fact he is not a U.S. citizen, and may be an illegal alien as he did not opt for citizenship after he traveled on his Indonesian passport, but he is a Marxist, through and through.
He believes in the Black Liberation Theology, which is a Marxist belief system, and he believes that Jews have a "gutter" religion.
His own VP candidate, Joe Biden, has "threatened" us with the fact that we will have another 9/11 in 6 months if Barack is elected. The only way another country will attack us is if they perceive us as weak, and they know Barack Obama will not stand up to anyone.
Did you know he was on a "fact-finding" trip to Kenya when he interfered in the elections over there? He was trying to influence the elections in favor of his "cousin", Odinga.
Is Odinga someone who believes in liberty and freedom? NO! Why do all of those communists and marxists and socialists, such as Louis Farakkahn, Khaddafi, and Hugo Chavez, support Obama? Why do they want him in office?
Do you not know that Islam is anti-Christian? That they view Christians as infidels, people to be killed? Obama was raised as a Muslim in Indonesia.
He comes over here, and worships 20 YEARS in a church espousing the Black Liberation Theology.
Check out his church's website! I'm not making this up! Look up Obama and Odinga!
We fought WWII against the Marxists and socialists - we beat them. Now, you want to elect that way of life into our country??
NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
