[quote who="Tova7" reply="14" id="1861569"]I agree...but then maybe they leaked the wrong speech...hahahah....that'd be so funny! [/quote] lmao, they could leak a speech ranting and completely discrediting herself but then use the real one just to embarass the liberal media which has been smear-campaigning her [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
Yes it is unprofessional. But as a journalist, you must know how many lazy people are out there, writing our news :) I think it's quite an odd thing to do (leaking, not reporting on it). Like Daiwa, I would let the anticipation build to ensure people watched the program and got the whole thing (plus cheering crowds) as opposed to the excerpts from liberal media.
Hehe, they'd still be smacked on something :-) Just goes to show the danger of listening to rumours! :P
Most of the speeches have been leaked already. CNN were talking about the theme of each of the speeches, while not giving it away. They were discussing how her speech could be delivered completely differently despite that that's her final version. From what the media are saying, it sounds like she'll be pretty good tonight.

Firstly: After McCain went all soft during Obama's big day, what does Obama hope to achieve by trying to steal McCain's? Secondly: Is Obama out of his mind? O'Reilly may be a hot-headed interrogator, but he's not that big
While it is impossible to stop protestors with the constitution in the U.S.A, why are they being given so much freedom? An 83 year old Republican delegate had to be treated for breathing difficulties after 'anti-war' and 'anarchy' protestors assaulted civilians. If they are protesting in favour of anarchy, shouldn't they be given zero-tolerence as they are, in fact, treasonous? Just what, precisely, are the Minnesotan police doing to protect these
Well I think the media (especially types like CNN) are being hugely hypocritical of Palin/McCain considering earlier in the campaign all they would cover is the 'evil old boogey man' McCain insulting their 'bright eyed boy' Barack who they seemed to think walked through the world completely innocent and sinless. I wouldn't have a problem with their aggressive and ridiculous techniques if they were used on both parties.
How many of the nations/people who people want to give reparations are Christians? Because Jesus overturned the Jewish belief in collective punishment and collective guilt. Therefore how, religiously, can reparations for slavery be justified? Are we our parents/grandparents/great grandparents and, secondly, how can it be rationally/secularly justified? Many black slaves were captured and sold into slavery by rival tribes in Africa who gained from the slave trade, which
[quote who="cactoblasta" reply="7" id="1859870"]Part of the problem is, there could be thousands of arrests from profiling, but as soon as there is one wrongful arrest or a case where somebody kicks up a fuss about being picked on, the media will be all over it. The problem with having plenty of arrests is that you might not be picking up terrorists. Guantanamo Bay is a case in point. Thousands of arrests, thousands sent home without charge after years of miserable treatment. More time n

http://atheismnews.wordpress.com/2006/10/24/the-doomsday-code-tony-robinson/ The embedded video on that site is a BBC documentary, it's reasonably credible - Tony Robinson isn't known to doctor facts, etc. It gives an interesting reason for old GW's 'end is nigh' terms, and bearing in mind how religious the stereotypical Republican can be, it's so insane it could be true! For those who can't be bothered watching it, Robinson basically goes over the Israel and looks at
MI5 are great, so long as they don't step foot in the London Underground. Don't portray the UK's services as being good just because they have a history of this stuff, the UK isn't the same as it was even twenty years ago, and it's history with the IRA is hardly a gleaming report. MI5 simply instigated mass-tortures of Catholic Irishmen the likes of which make Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay look perfectly normal. MI5 have gotten so disjointed in no
[quote who="Leauki" reply="19" id="1858340"] I guess that is the world liberals want for handicapped children: stories about their parents. [/quote] It's a good point. I can't see liberal nutcases (i.e. bloggers) helping their candidates by banging on about this. The thing that they don't understand is, bloggers and overzealous supporters do more harm than good. Madonna disgraced herself, the Republican priest praying for rain during the Obama speech sof
Everybody who has ever had kids knows that at the end of the day, kids will do what they like once they're 'adults.' Palin's kid having a kid really isn't that big a news, she had sex out of wedlock, I don't think there are that many people in the world who would refuse to vote a candidate because of what her daughter has done - especially considering she's now marrying the father.
The images look like they support it, sure, but since when don't pictures lie in political commentary/conspiracy theories? I know a lot of people who could make a believable doctor of an image like the one we see and with politics so important in America, I think it's entirely likely someone has doctored the image of her daughter. If it was a realistic claim, left-leaning media would have jumped on it already, media on both sides
I have the same problem, it's quite irritating. But at least TPM08 opens quickly when you quit and then load. I've had games over the years where it took a good 3-4 minutes just to load (though I really shouldn't have been playing them on the machines I had :P)
And in English politics, the Liberal Democrats (the major third party) still aren't seen as a serious party. It's all very well having promising parties which have good policies on paper, but unless you get amazing circumstances like George W Bush being the Republican bet for reelection this year, you will never have a major rebellion in either party where they set up a third group. Even if they did, it would only last one election. Third parties are nice to think about
