MSNBC doesn't encourage these witch hunts at all. Sheesh
Convention III of the Geneva Convention has to do with treatment of Prisoners of War.
Identifying who is to be classified as a POW is specifically called out in detail in Art 4 of Convention III.
The AL Queda and Taliban rogues, and other ''terrorists'' DO NOT fall under the protections of Convention III, commonly referred to as Common Article III.
Perhaps....and perhaps it is a witch hunt....
we'll see.
Not as old as the witch hunt and
At least JTBB posts factual verifiable information and attempts to engage intelligent and informed discussion.
Rhymes with witch.....sm
Our Founding Fathers are probably spinning in their graves to see what has become of the country they so proudly fought for.
It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.
Wicked Witch of Wasilla
She is being further investigated on yet more incidences of abuse of power. The fact that she and Todd built their brand new home using the same contractor that just happened to get the contract to build a new 10 million dollar sports complex in Wasilla simultaneously has led some to question the whole deal, and possibly acquiring, shall we say, the means to do so through this contractor. That's just one of them. Watch Keith Olberman tonight on MSNBC. They have her all figured out! Obviously someone believes this woman is shady enough to warrant this further investigation.
Th witch hunt is getting desperate.
Such thoughtless ignorance, such little time. Where to start? Obama's father left him mom when he was a baby. He is a child of divorce. In his entire life, he knew his father for 1 month. He has some communication with Kenyan relatives but not all of them. It is not surprising that they would not have that much in common, having been raised by different parents of different races halfway around the world from each other.
So, against this background, consider if you will how divorced families in the United States relate to one another. If you yourself were from a divorced family, would you necessarily keep up with the whereabouts of your dead father's HALF-sister wh you never knew? Would you even know her last name, her husband's name, how many children she has or even her hometown?
I would not expect him to even know she was in the United States, much less her legal status. Furthermore, I would not be sticking my nose into an elder relative's personal affairs, asking such questions as to her legal status. I would probably respect the elder and give her the benefit of the doubt. In fact, it would ot even cross my mind.
Having said that, there is another aspect of this family situation that comes into play. African family structures operate much, much differently than American families. Many tribes in Africa reckon the identity of their children through the MOTHER, not the father, like we do here in the west. Wives do not take their husband's names and neither do the children. Therefore, kinship via the mother's ancestors is central. So here we have a combination of divorce, death of a relative who abandoned his son, geographic separation, racial separation (being raised in a white world) and cultural separation. It is not at all hard for me to understand that he would not have known her legal status or even that she was still here. If the contribution came from a New York address, there would have been no reason for campaign workers to question its legality, nor would they have know she was his aunt.
All I need to know about Obama's family values is the way he treats his own wife and children and what he says about responsible parenting. I think is is ridiculous that you have the gall to sit in judgment over something you have no way of knowing anyhing about. Grasping at straws in the 11th hour of the campaign will not win any elections.
The witch hunt is getting desperate
While I realize that Obama's book is WAY over your head, you should be able to grasp at least its title...DREAMS of my father, as in how an abandoned son might imagine his father and feel the need to understand the parent he never knew. Unlike you, I do not get my information from YouTube, fringe chat rooms and Fix Noise, errr, I mean Fox News. I actually read BOOKS and have read up on Obama enough to know a little bit about the estrangement he feels from his Kenyan family and when I wrote that, I had Maya Soetoro-Ng in mind who maintains a relationship with Obama.
I studied African tribal family structures and America family structure in (now get ready) college...cultural and social anthropology, cultural geography and sociology of family courses for starters and have maintained an interest in cultural studies for more than 30 years, so I CONTINUED to read about these subjects of interest. Survivor TV would be on your level, not mine. Obama supporters are, how should I say this, known to be a tad more educated than (how did that political analyst says it yesterday?...oh, yes) the downscale McCain voter and as such are much less prone to the mob mentality that adopts and chants flock buzz words such as "sheeple" and the like. Then again, I would not expect you to be ale to wrap you brain around African tribal customs and how kinship reckoning affects cultural family value systems, especially outside of the lower 48, but I do think that Obama's global mentality probably get the gist of it.
Now, if you don't mind, I need a breath of fresh air and a little distance between myself and this ignorant post of yours.
And, there were also the Salem witch trials.
Do you know anything about them? They persecuted 19 people because they were thought to have cavorted with the devil, and it all started with a little girl lying about a woman in order to save her own little a@@!! Lies, religion, politics.. don't mix very well.
I dont consider that witch to be capable of
seem to recall someone else protecing herself again a WITCH...haha
hmmm, real sound judgment there. So if Palin wins and decides to seek advice from shamans or witchdoctors, you are okay with that?
On Palin, AKA The Wicked Witch of Wasilla
For someone that we collectively have only known now for 8-9 weeks or so, we sure have discovered a lot of very questionable things about her that blatantly shows her lack of integrity, her intelligence of matters of the country (and the constitution), the many, many lies that she has been caught in lies, her very un-Christian-like behavior that provokes people to such a base mob frenzy (all done with a simpering smirk), her very obvious hunger for power and the spotlight, and now she is even turning against her running mate trying to make him look bad in a very sneaky backhanded way in order to further her own very demigogic agenda. I, for one, cannot understand that there are still so many people out there that just will not see the truth. Trust me, there is lots more to come in the next 10 days!!
The Wicked Witch of Wasilla, talk
about goulish!!
It is a witch hunt. If you were interested in the truth
drawing all these conclusion about a story that has not even come out yet. The lady says she'll spill the beans after the 5th, but looks like waiting that long would take the winds right out of the sails of the impotent smear campaigners.
Ann is a biterr and jealous petty little witch.

Witch hunt on previous administration?
Ah, for the waterboarding? I would suggest you acquaint yourself with the fact that America put Japanese war prisoners to death, yes executed them, for the same thing as your previous administration now stands accused of, torture. Strange how it was horrible when it was done to Americans but now it is ok? You, dearie, need to be off the panic button. This is like mass hysteria with people running scared, of what? Oh, I saw yesterday where Obama has now been called the superpresident, nice sound, huh?
Witch trials in 1692....constitution 1787...
puritanism gave way to Christianity. You got it backwards. Respectfully.
thou shalt not suffer a witch to live
who or what is considered a witch?

My goodness. O witch hunt sure is keeping you busy.
It is in its 3rd day. No comments on the discussions regarding party revamp? How about today's agenda? Keep your eye on Jindel. He did a great job in Louisiana with disaster mgmt...and GOP will be neding plenty of that in the 2008 election aftermath. Seriously, as a left-wing commie Marxist terrorist unAmerican anti-patriot, he has GOP leadership written all over him. Mayb you should take a hate break and take a look at him.
It was a witch hunt plain and simple. But the bad thing about it???
He just commuted their sentences. They will not get their jobs back again because they were not pardoned. I did not know there was a difference, but evidentally there is. So....they might be walking free, but who's going to pay all the bills? And make up for all the missing family times? Not Bush 2 that's for sure. Nor the "Anointed One." He has his own set of problems.
Author of this link is an acid-mouthed witch hunting hate monger
has made a career out of spreading division and hate. She makes Michele Malkin look like a Marxist comrade. She is Anti Obama, Anti-Hillary, Anti-Democrat, anti-liberal, Anti-McCain (he's too "liberal", Pro-Palin and (gt this) Pro-Bush. She positively worhips the guy.
I reviewed the titles of her newspaper articles and WITHOUT EXCEPTION she publishes these types of articles. Some of her more notable titles:
1. Obama's Contempt for our Constitution.
2. In Palin-Gibson Throwdown--Gov Get A, Media F (I am SO SURE).
3. Where is Obama's TESTICULAR Fortitute? (little trash mouth).
4. Ding Dong, the With Is Dead...referring to Hillary's defeat in the primaries.
5. Barack Obama's Snake Oil.
6. Is Hillary Mentall Ill?
7. Hillary's Slapped-Around-By-Men Problem Bodes Ill for the Presidency.
8. The STELLAR Legacy of George W. bush.
9. The Rest of the World Loves President Bush (this woman needs some serious antipsychotic drugs).
10. Liberals Don't Support Our Troops. If she were in the same room with me, the only way I could control my urge to deck her would be to remove myself from her presence over this outrage.
11. Pathology of Liberalism.
12. Hillary: Typical Actions of an Abused Woman.
13. The 7 Deadly Sins of Liberals.
You see, this is why citing sources matters. Credibility....NOT. She is a fanatic hawking a hateful agenda. No surprise there that she would be onboard with this BC lunacy.
Pathetic, isn't it?
They want TOTAL control over when we're born, who we love, which God we worship, when we die, and now they want to control what we're allowed to think is funny. Soon, they'll want a mandatory chip to be implanted in every American who doesn't agree with them in order to whip us into submission. 
How pathetic....sm
That's laughable.
Next you're going to spin it that republicana framed the son of the democrat congressman that hacked into her email.
Good grief!!!
Pathetic.

There is nothing pathetic about
the human instinct of survival. They've been sold up the river 9 ways to Sunday over the past 6 decades in those so-called peace initiatives, lied to continuously by Israel and western peace brokers, occupied, controlled, invaded, their country shrunken and cut to shreds, starved, held hostage, demonized and dehumanized by their hostile, blood-thirsty captors. THAT is pathetic. Expecting an occupied population that has been subjected to this kind of cruelty to fall in line and behave intelligently, rationally or logically is also pathetic, and pretty STUPID, if you ask me.
You know how the saying goes. Desperate times call for desperate measures. If you torture an entire population of people over this extended period of time, don't you think it is a bit, shall we say, PATHOLOGIC to expect anything less than violence, contempt, determination and resolve to destroy the perpetrators in return?
It's not your genocidal military whose notice they seek. The whole world is watching your barbaric nation do what it does best...Goliath bullies David into submission, leaving their killing fields soaked with rivers of fresh blood and scattered with human remains, buried under the rubble of countless bombed-out, shell-shocked buildings and whole neighborhoods laid flat in their dust. Lebanon is still pretty fresh in their memories.
The Palestinians know full well the sacrifices they have to make. God knows, they have been making them now for generations. But whether you are big enough to admit it or not, it is Israel who pays the ultimate price in this tragedy. Just like Bush squandered the whole world's sympathy in the wake of 9/11 by using it as an excuse to butcher and maim in the name of democracy as a cover for imperial conquest, Israel has spent all its compassion capital in the aftermath of the Holocaust to become one of the most reviled nations on the face of the earth. There is no effective way of dealing with that, my dear, at least not in your lifetime.
Despite Israel's best efforts, they have not been able to break Palestinian spirit of unity and/or national identity.
To Beyond pathetic
How fitting. You really didn't read the message. Looks like your one of the Obama cult worshippers. I didn't say happyness, joy, and hope creeps me out (in fact I didn't even use the word hope). I said the cult worshipping of Obama creeps me out. Think you really need to lay off the Kool-Aid and come back to earth.
Pathetic....(sm)
This is actually an old e-mail. It first came out not long after the election. So, here's my question. Does this refer to the millions of jobs lost during the previous administration or just those within the last 60+ days? Less than that if you count when the e-mail actually came out.
If you're going to go back and point fingers, at least point them in the right direction -- that would be towards the guy who not only lost jobs (and did nothing about it) but lives as well in a war that was completely unnecessary that did absolutely nothing but cost lives and run up the deficit. (Interesting that Bush didn't bother to put the cost of the wars on the balance sheet, by the way.)
This board has turned into an absolute repuke joke.
Pathetic!
I feel sorry for our country because of all the traitors residing here now...disguised as reporters.
LOL. So right... they are pathetic.
nm
Right back at you....it is just as pathetic that you...
as a group with that group bully mentality trying to bully the one opposition voice into submission, all the while preaching about individual rights. Please. You don't give a darn about individual rights. What a joke. Par for the course for left-wing do-as-we-say, not-as-we-do. Our way or the highway.
That was kind of pathetic.
I'm reminded daily on this board, how most democrats refuse to allow any opinion other than their own, without some form of negative name calling or put down.
Most of you dems are downright mean and nasty.
I thought you were the party of hope, change, love, and social equality for everyone.
Seems if one is republican or in the middle, leaning to the right, you have no rights at all, in you dems' minds.
Unbelievable.
petty and pathetic.

Keep up the pathetic arguments. It does not help
nm
That's pathetic. (where's my hammer?)
Are you really THAT ignorant? I'm sorry for you. Pathetic.
That is just plain prejudiced.
Do you not understnd just how pathetic
Grasping at straws 10 days out will get you where?
The only one pathetic are people like yourself!
xx
Pathetic parrot. Get over yourself.
Your 'new government' is nothing more than Clinton 2.0
Obama sold you all a bill of goods. Change. Hooray. Only took a matter of weeks for him to admit that the only 'change' was ... well ... him. Well, duh, Sherlock. By his standards, even electing Daffy Duck would have been a 'change.' I kind of think the people were expecting a bit more.
But, yes, Dems, let's let Big Government 'fix' all our problems. Let's start by taking away the credit cards and zero-down home loans that all the lazy slackers were given to 'stimulate minority homeownership.'
Gee. That sure worked out well.
Can't wait to see what's next.
Maybe Michelle will put out a cook book - 1001 recipes for government cheese.
Embarrassing and Pathetic
This is only the second time that I have posted, and it is only out of dismay that I do so now. I am absolutely dumbfounded, shocked, amazed, and disgusted by the utter and complete
cluelessness, simplemindedness, closet racism, backwardness, and close-mindedness displayed in numerous messages on this board over the past few days. It is people like you who are truly the scary ones!! It is truly sad that at a time of crisis like this that we cannot come together. After eight years of Republicans having their way and making blunder after blunder, which has lead to this, why can't our new president be given the support, the respect, and the chance to move the country out of this mess?
It is amazing to me that as long as we were being lead by a president of utter incompetence, out of touch and completely wrong, that you were perfectly content. You were perfectly
content with our economy sinking, content with innocent men and women losing their lives fighting a war that should never have been fought, content with our educational system languishing, with millions of your fellow citizens losing their homes and losing their jobs, and content with the country being the joke of the world and the target of intense loathing and hatred.
Now that we have a president who actually has the intelligence to make informed decisions and is surrounding himself with people of equal intelligence, a person who is inclusive and
realizes that all of us need to succeed so that our country can succeed, a man who wants to restore our standing in the world, who cares about our children in the inner cities as well as our children in rural America, who understands that diplomacy matters much more than "tough" cowboy bluster, who embodies those "family values" that those very superior
conservative folks so love to talk about, a person who understands that a good education for ALL of our children makes our country better and more secure, a person who understands that our environment matters to our national security, NOW you have the nerve to be frightened. What
utter drivel!!
Some have had the nerve and the gall to compare him to Hitler. What ridiculous nonsense!! He is a positive, inspiring person who has allowed millions of children to dream and hope and imagine their future in a way that they did not before. Hitler he is not, and those statements are truly the dumbest, most asinine statements that I have ever read on this board. What stupidity and hate you are spewing!! He is black, big deal!! Get over it.
He is intelligent, compassionate, has great ideas, and is open to hearing others' viewpoints. He loves our country just as you say you do.
You should at least have the nerve to speak your truth, which is that you are afraid because he is black. In case you didn't know, there are millions of black people who are intelligent and bright, creative, hardworking, law abiding, family oriented, well spoken and articulate, and they too love our country just like you and just like our president.
I do wholeheartedly agree that God will protect us,. He will continue to protect our country from people outside our borders who wish to do us harm, as well as protect us from those within who let ignorance, hate, and bigotry cloud common sense and good judgment.
It is pretty sad and pathetic
that people are suffering daily and are losing hope and all our congress can do is pass bills full of pork for ignorant things like why pigs smell. It is pretty obvious to me why many people are participating in the tea parties. Obviously a lot of people have a problem with this. This isn't extremist behavior. This is telling our government to stop the crazy spending. This is just WAY out of hand. For people who don't get this....I just feel sorry for you. Obviously you would rather bankrupt the country and continue to praise Obama than to hold our government accountable for all the out of control spending that they are doing. You have no problem bringing up the amount of money Bush spent in 8 years but when it comes to facing reality about Obama and the amount he has spent in a few months and how it exceeds any spending Bush did....you turn a deaf ear and a blind eye. Double standards. I don't care who is doing the spending whether it be dems or pubs. We don't have any more.....both sides need to stop spending....PERIOD!
Not as pathetic as your interpretation of
Or do you think there are not extremists among the pro-life movement? (And before you start your usual rebuttal, I am not an Obama supporter, and no, I don't think all pro-lifers are extremists.)
I would call that a pathetic try....sm
The funny thing is that you are obviously soooo out of touch with the black community that you don't even have a clue how much of an insult your message is. I love it when people try to pretend to be black on a post, especially when done badly, because that's when you see true ignorance. And before you start proclaiming your "black-ness" and trying to be all indignant, you should realize that after that post, its quite obvious who and what you are, regardless of what you say. 
This poor little Sam person is really pathetic. (s/m)
It seems this person's whole identity & self-esteem revolves around monopolizing this little medical transcriptionists' politics forum. Seems like a waste of your time & energy. If you REALLY care so much about your views & your party, instead of wasting your words on an obscure little politics forum, why aren't you out volunteering for your candidates? Your 24/7 comebacks to nearly EVERY post on this board that disagrees with YOUR beliefs suggests that:
a) You have no job.
b) You do not sleep, eat, or go to the bathroom.
c) You absolutely CANNOT let a person with different ideas have the last word.
Therefore, it seems that you would be the ideal choice for ANY political party to be out canvassing your neighborhood, organizing fundraisers, distributing propaganda (um, I mean literature), etc. to support your candidate.
So the question is, if you are such a 'talented' and 'knowlegeable' political afficionado, why do you waste your time & energy here?
You should know. Obama sheep are pathetic.

Pathetic, self-absorbed little housewife.
+
You people are really pathetic. You always attack
nm
You are wasting your breath on these pathetic
people. They have no life, or such miserable lives that they have all the time in the world to scour the Internet for more garbage to spout, so now this is what consumes their lives. How sad -- NOT! The people have spoken. If you're not happy with the outcome, then MOVE OUT OF THE COUNTRY. Maybe you can start a revolution somewhere else.
Pathetic is not wanting to know the truth
FOS back at you - whatever it means. I'm sure it's not nice.
I meant pathologic, not pathetic.
x
Turnout for tea parties is pathetic!
I just saw coverage of some of the Mad Hatter's tea parties, and the turnout is pathetic. I also don't see any government agents harassing the crowds, as some paranoid posters here claimed they would. Much ado about nothing!
Gore is laughable and pathetic anyway.
