I'm curious about why a lot of people in St Paul can be arrested for conspiracy to riot, but nothing happens to Rush when he wishes for burning cars on national radio. (I just heard the answer to that in the video, but he's still a slimeball.) - sergiooo via Bookmarklet
From Huffington Post. Not sure what to make of it. Thoughts? - sergiooo via Bookmarklet

“I know my shares are pretty political lately, but I have a new interest in the language used after hearing the George Lakoff speech Mel shared. Must learn more.”
journalists and lawyers -- in addition to protesters -- have been detained and arrested even though not a single violent or criminal act has occurred. - sergiooo via Bookmarklet
The voice mailbox is full and the person taking calls phone line is busy --- These calls can be directed to: Chris Rider from Mayor Coleman’s office at 651-266-8535 and the Ramsey County Jail at 651-266-9350 (press extension 0). - LPH
"At a press availability in Monroe, Mich., Barack Obama said: "Back off these kinds of stories."
"I have said before and I will repeat again: People's families are off limits," Obama said. "And people's children are especially off-limits. This shouldn't be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin's performance as a governor or her potential performance as a vice president. So I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories. You know my mother had me when she was 18, and how a family deals with issues and teenage children, that shouldn’t be a topic of our politics."" - sergiooo via Bookmarklet
RIGHT ON!!! Brilliant.Now that is leadership. - melmcbride
this where I take exception not with the attacks, they should not be allowed, however this exactly a topic very dear to a large part of America right now - Fred Grott
Obama continues: "I am offended by that statement. There is no evidence at all that any of this involved us," he said. "Our people were not involved in any way in this, and they will not be. And if I thought there was somebody in my campaign who was involved in something like that, they would be fired." Makes me wish the bloggers DID work for him, and are now fired. - Josh Haley
Sergioo: sorry to repost but we gotta get this item into major circulation. In fact, I suggest that everybody here who has "liked" this item reshares it in their own feeds (Twitter, FF, delicious and elsewhere). - melmcbride
Mel: everyone who is subscribed to you sees everything you like. There's no need to reshare this. - Mark Trapp
I believe that the campaigns themselves will honor this. But how do you control the independent groups? Tell them that you hate them so much that they stop targeting your opponent and start targeting you? - Ontario Emperor via fftogo
MelMcBride , I agree completely :) Not bothered at all. Everyone should Digg it or push it, whatever they do. - sergiooo
Unfortunately, this is a noble idea that's virtually impossible to put in practice. The candidate himself can try to follow the rule, but the independent groups won't. And besides, at crunch time, every goes... - Rob Teixeira via twhirl
Great to see Obama resisting petty ad hominem attacks that plague US politics. - Adam Bohannon
People's families are off limits, I agree. But this why you keep your religious BS and family values crap off limits. - PC Easy via twhirl
