Tea Party Leader on Anderson Cooper

"Tea Party" leader Mark Williams was on CNN"s Anderson Cooper 360 yesterday:

You can see some of the offensive rally signs they are referring to on Huffington Post (which is a far-left blog, so expect heavy bias).

Additional interviews/footage of the rally.

This is Straight Talk?

Check out this McCain campaign ad:

As of 10:30pm tonight you can still see this ad directly at McCain's site (it's the featured video on the homepage). To the casual observer this video sure makes Obama look like he said some pretty sexist things...

This is the "straight talking" McCain? This is how he wants to change our politics? How, for the love of all that is holy, did McCain allow such a BALD and DISGUSTING LIE to be released by his campaign?

Obama had some very good things to say about this whole nonsense:
