"At least 41,000 people from all 50 states and 17 foreign countries have given money to support or oppose a same-sex marriage ban in California, reflecting broad interest in a race viewed by some as second in national importance only to the presidential election. Two weeks before the vote on Proposition 8, campaign finance records [...]

Another day, another misleading "Yes on 8" commercial! This latest endeavor repeats the oft-cited - and erroneous - claim that gay marriage in California will infiltrate public schools and force students to learn about same-sex "relations." We would be infuriated, but we're far too amused by the fact that the producers misspelled Sarah Palin's name. [...]

Yes, I do actually read books that aren’t gay themed — In fact I read more non-gay themed novels and non-fiction books.

The DNC came out with this hilarious ad featuring McCain toady Queen Lindsey Graham, called "More of the same".

Appearing on ABC's This Week, Senator Lindsey Graham said "John McCain is truly an independent, stood up to his own party." But on the same show back in June Graham was asked if John McCain would offer a continuation of President Bush's economic policies. His answer: "Yeah, absolutely."
In Senator Graham's defense, he is not the only McCain surrogate who has struggled to defend John McCain's promise of more of the same failed Bush economic policies. As a new video released by the Democratic National Committee today shows, McCain's own surrogates have repeatedly said that John McCain would continue President Bush's economic policies:

BIDEN: There's not one fundamental economic issue on which John McCain has challenged George Bush or his policies. [Biden Campaign Rally, 10/21/08]
CHYRON: McCain Campaign: Your Response?
QUESTION: Senator Graham, John McCain is calling for an extension, or maybe even enhancement of the Bush policies?
GRAHAM: Yeah. Absolutely. [ABC's "This Week," 6/8/08]
LIZ CHENEY: I think on the really important issues that face the country, on issues like the war on terror and the economy, Senator McCain in fact is advocating those policies that those of us who supported President Bush and the Vice President believe are the right ones for this nation. [MSNBC, 6/23/08]
QUESTION: So it would be in effect a third Bush term when it came to pro-growth tax policies?
HOUSE REPUBLICAN WHIP ROY BLUNT (R-MO): It would be. I think it would be. And I think that's a good thing. [CNN, 5/11/08]
QUESTION: Can you name one economic issue where McCain has been different than the President?
SEN. JON KYL (R-AZ): I don't choose to. [MSNBC, 10/21/08]
QUESTION: Are there any significant economic differences between what the Bush administration has put forward over these many years as opposed to now what John McCain supports?
GOV. MARK SANFORD (R-SC): Um, yeah. For instance, take, you know, take, for instance, the issue of -- I'm drawing a blank, and I hate it when I do that, particularly on television. Take, for instance the contrast on NAFTA..
QUESTION: I don't see, uh, he's a huge supporter of free trade, John McCain. The Bush Administration supports free trade. I don't see a big difference between the two on free trade.
SANFORD: No, I was going to go to a point, which was what you would want is consistency with regard to that position. [CNN, 7/13/08]

The second new one is out of the Obama camp and it goes after McSame's lack of new ideas.

Anncr (v/o): He's out of ideas.
Anncr (v/o): out of touch
Anncr (v/o): and running out of time
Anncr (v/o): But with no plan to lift our economy up, John McCain wants to tear Barack Obama down with scare tactics and smears.
Anncr (v/o): Why? McCain's own campaign admits that if the election is about the economy, he's going to lose.
Anncr (v/o): But as Americans lose their jobs, homes, and savings, it's time for a president who will change the economy, not change the subject.
BO (v/o): I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message.

The NYPD recently had to deal with a case of a Taser death of a mentally ill man, and the suicide of one of the cops as a result of the tragedy. Now another police brutality case puts the behavior and training and fitness to serve of other members of the force. (CBS):

Prosecutors are investigating allegations that five New York City police officers attacked a tattoo parlor worker and sodomized him with a walkie-talkie in a subway station. The 24-year-old man says the officers then wrote him a disorderly conduct ticket and abandoned him as he was writhing in pain.
...Lawyers say five police officers approached Michael Mineo on Oct. 15 around 12:30 p.m. because they believed he was smoking marijuana near a subway stop in Brooklyn. When the tattoo parlor employee entered the station, he claims officers jumped him from behind, handcuffed him and wrestled him to the ground, according to attorney Stephen Jackson.
Mineo told his lawyers that he felt a foot on his neck as the officers beat him, then yanked down his pants and sodomized him with the walkie-talkie. The lawyers say the officers took the bleeding Mineo into a police car, wrote him a disorderly conduct ticket and left him at the subway station.
"My God, this just sent chills throughout my body when I heard this," Jackson said. "This is one of the most horrendous acts of police brutality." Two witnesses reported seeing Mineo struggle during the arrest, a police source told the newspaper, but they did not witness any acts of sodomy. However, the police source said one of the witnesses saw Mineo's bare buttocks.

The NYPD denies the story of the assault, even though medical examinations of Mineo corroborate his story.

One of Mineo's co-workers took him to the hospital, where he remained most of the week with internal injuries. His attorney says the hospital administrator contacted the Brooklyn District Attorney's office because it appeared Mineo was the victim of a sexual assault.

"John McCain's Pennsylvania communications director told reporters in the state an incendiary version of the hoax story about the attack on a McCain volunteer well before the facts of the case were known or established — and even told reporters outright that the "B" carved into the victim's cheek stood for "Barack," according to multiple [...]

Whoa! We know the Log Cabin Republicans get a lot of shit from the more liberal lavender set and it probably hurts their feelings, but the group's reaction resembles that of the far-right.

Former Californian Congressman and current Senatorial hopeful Tom Campbell, a Republican, today came out against Proposition 8, which would overturn the California Supreme Court's gay marriage ruling.

We like freedom of speech. Hell, we've made a living on it, but some right-wingers are clearly abusing their American right when it comes to Barack Obama's short campaign break, which he's using to visit his ill grandmother: Michael Savage, Rush Limbaugh, and Jerome Corsi suggested or asserted that the true purpose of Sen. Barack Obama's [...]
