I especially love her last sentence. Pretty much sums up the whole thing.

Sad but true article-my Jewish relatives have decided to vote for McCain. They've voted for the Democrat's candidate in every previous election, however, Obama's ties and especially his ties to Rev. Wright scare them. The civilain militia idea has them referring to Germany.

She's a columnist for the Daily Wail. Enough said. She's caused huge controversy within the Jewish community alone. She's about as unbiased as Fox.

Ah yes Melanie Phillips! She is so far right she might fall off the edge some day. Not too many people here even take her seriously. She is always good for a laugh though. You are very welcome to her if you want her.

Rush, Rush Limbaugh is that you? (the author of the article, not the OP) I have relatives in the UK, let's just say she's not known for being fair and impartial shall we say.

Would anyone care to respond to the allegations rather than just bash the author?

Why waste your energy? The author is so absurd and ridiculous that she's a laughing stock. The allegations aren't even worth refuting.

And how is she absurd and ridiculous? Oh, wait, I know....because she's calling Obama on all his sins. If she wrote a similar article about McCain, you'd be singing a different song.

The author is telling the truth. It's sad that you Obama supporters are so drawn in that you still refuse to acknowledge this.

I am NOT an Obama supporter. I simply cant take Melanie Phillips seriously because of her sometimes 'lunatic' views. She is shunned by many conservatives here in the UK. I cannot comment on her allegations here. I just cant ever take her seriously whenever she opens her mouth. My ultra conservative son wont even give her breathing space.

Hang on one moment - I'm British, I don't get a vote either way.
This woman is known for absurd and ridiculous views in the UK. She has offended a great many people. She is so far right only one UK paper will not print her - one which is well-known for scaremongering. I'm not prepared to address anything this woman says because everything that comes out of her mouth is there to serve her own, warped political agenda and her deluded egotism rather than to create constructive dialogue. She's really not worth the time, much like this argument she's presented here.

Agreed.....I've even heard of her. She's a complete lunatic. McCain voters shouldn't be happy about this endorsement.

Ok fine,
You're absolutely right Obama is a under ground racist who hates all white people, jews and America. Ladies be careful when he's elected we will all be required to walk 10 paces behind men and wear full body burkas. Melanie Phillips is correct, we will turn into a Marxist, communist country the nano-second after Obama (if he is elected) gets sworn in.

NOW, if you have some real solutions to our unemployment, to our mortgage crisis, our energy crisis or perhaps you'd like to tackle the fact that most people will not be able to retire any time soon because their pension plans have lost 25% of their value in 2 months or how about the pesky little problem we seem to be having with health care over here.

Boston,
The reason why we don't care is because the argument is STUPID!! and while people are seriously hurting Ms Phillips wants to play 6 degrees of seperation.

If McCain spent 1/2 as much time trying to explain how he was going to fix real problems instead of trying to scare me with the bogey man next door, he might have different poll numbers.

I WANT SOLUTIONS NOT MORE OBAMA IS THE ANTI CHRIST CRAP!

Oh and since you want us to read endorsements I've got a fairer balance one for you.

Oh come on now. Obama has done more flip flops than the Chinese Olympic Gymnasts.

Even a lunatic has her day.

What I know is that I'll start sharing the wealth right after Mr. Money Bags cuts loose some of the "change" from that huge campaign fund 'o his.

He's not the second coming. He's a polished public speaker spewing rhetoric that has become the opiate of the masses and has spent less time in the US Senate than McCain spent in the Hanoi Hilton.

A president doesn't need all the answers. That's what advisors and cabinet members are for. What I do demand is someone who puts America first and has more than just a passing love affair with liberty and justice for all.

M'am step away from the keyboard!

BTW, I don't think the Democrat's nominee hates all white people because he's half white. That would mean that he's a self hater and I think he loves himself too much for that to be a possibility.
