Rush was discussing the similarities between Tim McVeigh and William Ayers on his show today.
Both bombed Government targets, both were extremists, both were domestic terrorists.
Can you imagine of McVeigh hadn't been put to death, if he had ANY interaction with McCain, how would it be handled in the Media?
New McCain ad, pointing out ties to ACORN:
Take a few minutes and contact the members of the Senate Ethics Committee, and voice your opinion if you feel Chris Dodd should have to take the stand to explain his involvement in the mortgage meltdown.
One indicator of his influence is the $165,400 in campaign contributions -- more than to any other politician -- that Fan and Fred have given him since 1989, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. These contributions are legal. But favors like those Mr. Dodd is alleged to have received may not be. Mr. Feinberg says he went public with his story because when he heard Senator Dodd on TV talking about predatory lending, he felt it was "hypocritical" and he says, "I just thought, 'This is wrong.'"
Mr. Dodd hasn't yet released his copies of the mortgage documents, though he promised to do so more than two months ago.His office told us this week they'd get back to us on that. Meanwhile, presumably the Justice Department can have Mr. Feinberg's Countrywide documents, if it's interested.
Here are the members of the Committee:
Barbara Boxer (D, CA), Chairman 202-224-3553
Take 5 minutes, and make your voice heard. Let these six people know that Chris Dodd needs to explain his involvement in the mortgage mess. Tell them you are upset that your 401(k) has lost over 25% since the bailout. Tell them you want answers.
A guy in Ohio was paid in cash and cigarettesto register and re-register (72 times in all).
"The ACORN people are everywhere, looking to sign people up. I tell them I am already registered. The girl said, 'You are?' I say, 'Yup,' and then they say, 'Can you just sign up again?' " he said.
Johnson used the same information on all of his registration cards, and officials say they usually catch and toss out duplicate registrations. But the practice sparks fear that some multiple registrants could provide different information and vote more than once by absentee ballot.
More fraud in Indiana, too.
More and more mounting evidence of voter fraud by ACORN, and we only hear crickets chirping from the Left. Unbelievable.
I'm guessing your Team might not fare too well in your upcoming game.
Perfect choice of words, Officer.
Fargo police said two men were arrested for drunken driving in the same vehicle. Police Lt. Pat Claus said an officer pulled over a 23-year-old man early Thursday morning. Claus said while that man was taking a sobriety test, a 24-year-old passenger got behind the wheel and tried to drive off.
Claus said the passenger was also arrested for drunken driving. Both men were taken to the Cass County jail.
Claus called the case "unique."

Even though someone has turned the guns on my girl, it still made me laugh:
Got this one from a co-worker:
David Harsanyi nails it:
This election has never been about John McCain — though his candidacy is sure to revive a debate about the worst presidential candidates of all time.
No, this is a referendum on Barack Obama. And many Republicans are exuding the confidence of a hopelessly quixotic sports fan — a person who watches his atrocious team struggle for three quarters with the false expectation that some miraculous comeback is imminent in the fourth.
It rarely is.
McCain has consistently remained inconsistent, vacillating between promises and populism. From his support of cap-and-trade to his actions during the bailout, McCain's positions seem entirely focused on winning the middle- of-the-road vote.
No modern Republican has ever won the presidency solely focused on the ambivalent squishy inattentive center. These people don't care enough to name their political party, much less pay attention.
But he's a maverick. One of McCain's central arguments has been his uncompromising valor in opposing the Bush administration.
Here's a newsbreak: Disagreeing with the Bush administration on a handful of issues (often the wrong ones, in McCain's case) doesn't make you a maverick, it makes you an average American. And, sadly, the second debate proved that McCain would be incapable of making his party's philosophical or political case even if he genuinely tried.
When Obama claims, as he did during the second debate, that raising taxes on the rich is the equivalent of giving them a "break," McCain, terrified of defending anyone in a Lexus, failed to make an assertive case that economic freedom helps everyone.
When Obama claimed he would lower income taxes for 95 percent of Americans even though nearly 40 percent of households don't pay a single cent in income taxes, McCain just smiled.
When Obama continued his absurd insistence that our financial mess was caused only by Bush-era "deregulation," McCain struggled to place the blame where it belongs: on government meddling.
And when Obama contended his economic plan would be a "net" cut in spending, McCain should have spit the water out of his mouth like a character on a TV sitcom — because that's exactly what the senior senator from Arizona is starring in.
Those Republicans anticipating a fourth-quarter comeback during the debate were instead hit with a wet fish. Did the putative Republican candidate just propose that the U.S. Treasury renegotiate millions of mortgages at a better price?
Was McCain simply unable to articulate a more complex position? It sounded a lot like a comprehensive nationalization of the mortgage industry. It sounded a lot like hundreds of billions of additional tax dollars.
Yep, he meant it. It's called the American Homeownership Resurgence. It will stabilize the economy. And Obama will stop global warming. And McCain will find bin Laden, even if he has to do it with his bare hands. And . . . well, at this pace, we're about two debates away from being promised free lemonade and snicker doodles.
None of these promises have worked. So now the McCain campaign will set its sights on Bill Ayers, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Tony Rezko and other members of the Legion of Doom. All of them are legitimate topics for conversation, but with less than a month to go, the conversation reeks of desperation.
In fact, the entire campaign has been one big act of publicity stunts. McCain's shining moment this campaign, as far as I can tell, was a funny ad comparing Obama to Paris Hilton.
What McCain's candidacy does tell us is that the Republican Party — even if it somehow miraculously pulls this one out — is in need of some creative destruction. Not ideological purity but ideological renewal.
Because being a "maverick" is a political slogan, not a political philosophy.
