<div class="post_content">
<p>New Mexico governor Democrat Bill Richardson withdraws nomination for the Obama Administration's Secretary of Commerce amid a political scandal. More on this issue in the next video postings.
<br />_______________</p>
<p>Oh, the 64 million American voters didn't actually know what Barack Obama stands for, I'm sorry!</p>
<p>I am still kind of annoyed by this report from conservative talk radio host John Ziegler. </p>
<p>This moron created a site called:
<br />http://howobamagotelected.com</p>
<p>Alongside this guy, there's forever stuck on stupid Sean Hannity. The 2008 misinformer of the year, devotes a segment of his radio show and television program to demeaning supporters of President Obama. On Hannity's radio show he gets one of his workers to bother average citizens [who don't follow politics but support Barack Obama] in attempt to prove Ziegler's point.
<br />http://hannity.com
<br />http://mediamatters.org/items/200812170007</p>
<p>Also there a viral video circulating around YouTube. Last year a person posted a video with Peggy Joseph, an African American woman who reacted to an Obama event in this claim, she said that:</p>
<p>[Barack] is going to pay for my gas and mortage!</p>
<p>The Drudge Report puts up a link and it went viral. Over a million hits so far.
<br />http://drudgereport.com
<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P36x8rTb3jI</p>
<p>Could John Ziegler, Matt Drudge and Sean Hannity be apart of this new movement of uninformed McCain-Palin supporters? </p>
<p>I will offer my take on why I support Barack Obama for president and of course a rebuttal to the criticism. I give my personal opinion on the issue.</p>
<p>Now if you really want to know what a typical McCain supporter is, ask Ashley Todd, the woman who wouldn't give Halloween candy to children [whose parents] support Barack Obama, the man who held on a monkey with a Obama-Biden sticker, the PUMAs, and the Al-Jazeera video in which Ohio voters were being riled up by the Republican Alaskan governor Sarah Palin! Ok, McCain supporters how many houses does John and Cindy McCain own?</p>
<p>Thanks for viewing. Thank all the supporters of my videos. To all critics and those who blindly trust the media! Turn that television, radio and internet smear machine off. Let real media analysis do the work for you. I am not a fact-checker, journalist or media analysis. I am expressing an honest opinion about whats going on in my community, the government and the corrupt mainstream media. And as always, if present any errors in the making of this video, please don't hesitate to send a message and I will correct the record on the next video. For all the critics watching worldwide! Do me a favor by: "Proving Me Wrong"!</p>

We used necessary force in order to carry out that goal." </em><br /><br />Jonathan Moore, a former Vietnam-era conscientious objector, is the lawyer representing the Hempstead 15 on a pro bono basis. Moore has represented clients in many social justice issues from Agent Orange victims, environmental concerns, and protesters arrested during the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York City. <br /><br />IVAW member Sgt Adam Kokesh (Marines) was the first of the Hempstead 15 to appear before the courts on Nov 13. His trial was scheduled for Dec 11. The Court attempted to increase his bail amount. The protestors have had their dates spread out individually dating from Nov 13 to the end of January. <br /><br />Sgt Chiroux indicated that further actions are planned to raise awareness and funds in support the of the charged protesters, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/inbox/?ref=mb#/group.php?gid=84242710299&amp;ref=ts">noting in a press release</a> that <em>"Dec.10 and 11, and Jan. 5 thru 8 are the days set for the 15 of us to be tried. Each day, we will assemble at 8 a.m. to demand that charges are dropped against us and that the officers responsible for brutalizing us are held accountable"</em> <br /><br /><br />Regarding the separate trial dates for each arrested protester, Chiroux noted <em>"I have never heard of this being done before, though I have also never heard of veterans, peacefully assembling Constitutionally to redress grievances, being trampled by police on horseback before. There's a first time for everything and it appears the place is Nassau County."</em> <br />He does feel that there is a tactical component to the decision to hold scattered trials on different dates. In an open press event on the courthouse steps on Nov 10, as Chiroux took questions from a reporter with <br />the Nation, he took of his sweatshirt to reveal a tee shirt with the IVAW logo "You Are Not Alone". <br /><em>"Nassau County wants us to believe this statement is not true."</em> <br /><br />The press release also calls for supporters to contact "District Attorney Kathleen Rice at 516-571-2994" or to contact her through the <a href="http://www.nassaucountyny.gov/agencies/DA/contact.html">Nassau County website</a> at <em>"to demand that all charges be dropped against the Hempstead 15."</em> <br />Ultimately ,Chrioux hopes that the DA will see fit to drop these charges<em> "and hold their officers accountable for their crimes against veterans". </em><br /><br /><table width="620"><tbody><tr><td><a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/image/44642"><img src="http://www.digitaljournal.com/img/1/4/2/1/1/4/i/4/4/6/p-large/2952300185_3019afe33b_o.jpg" height="413" alt="" width="620" /></a> i-witness video Sgt Morgan Appears to be Trampled in Vid Still despite Nassau County PD's assertion that the injury is undertermined 1of 5 image:44642:1:1:1 </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br />Official comment from the Nassau County PD states <em>"The police have yet to determine whether Morgan was stepped on by a horse"</em> <br /><br />In a coincidental twist, Sgt.
