HANNITY SPOONFEEDS PALIN "GOP TALKING POINTS"

This is NOT an interview and don't let anyone ever tell you the "meeting" between FOX NEWS' Sean Hannity and GOP Vice President candidate Sarah Palin was an "interview."

In this video snippet, you see Hannity reading GOP "talking points" to Palin and then just as she has been coached and rehearsed Palin parrots back what Hannity supposedly was asking her.

It is beyond pathetic and should be sent to every journalism school in the nation as an example of what is NOT an interview.

Sean Hannity NEVER took a journalism course in his life and has never worked in the real news business at a newspaper. He came to FOX NEWS from his job as a chattering disc jockey with just a big mouth and a sarcastic way of dealing with Democrats.

Is there anyone with an IQ over 75 who doesn't know the reason why the McCain campaign picked Sean Hannity to do an "interview" with Palin?

The GOP and the McCain people knew it would be a softball "meeting" but to insure it still didn't get off track they wanted a list of questions and topics Hannity was going to talk about with Palin so they could coach her on what to say.

GOD HELP AMERICA. FOX NEWS is now the 21st Century version of Hitler's Third Reich propaganda machine under Minister of Propaganda, Josef Goebbels.

VIOLENT, VIOLENT VIDEO: US TROOPS IN COMBAT IN IRAQ (VERY ROUGH LANGUAGE)

There is still a war going on in Iraq and this violent, violent video shows a US combat team in action in Iraq.

With a the military stretched to the breaking point, a vote for McCain/Palin will most certainly be a one-way ticket to reinstating the military draft.

In the heat of the race for the White House, we wonder just how many Republicans and some Democrats who plan to vote for McCain and Palin and have draft age children or grandchildren realize their loved ones will soon be fighting in either Iraq, Afghanistan or possibly even Iran.

HERE IN THIS VIDEO IS WHAT YOUNG PEOPLE CAN EXPECT TO FACE SHOULD McCAIN AND PALIN WIN THIS ELECTION:

8 FAMILY MEMBERS KILLED BY US CHOPPERS IN IRAQ

SALAH EL-Din, Sept. 19 (VOI)- Eight members of one family were killed on Friday when U.S. helicopters shelled their house in south of Tikrit, a police source said.
“U.S. choppers shelled a house in al-Dour district in south of Tikrit, killing eight members of the same family, in addition to destroying the house,” the source, who preferred to remain anonymous, told Aswat al-Iraq – Voices of Iraq (VOI).

WATCH AS SARAH PALIN FAILS TO ANSWER SEAN HANNITY'S QUESTION ON "THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE."

Toward the end of Sean Hannity's interview with Sarah Palin, he asks her if she first supported "the bridge to nowhere." Instead of answering the question, Palin goes off on a tangent talking about building a ferry between the two islands. Hannity NEVER pinned her down and on why she didn't answer his original question: "Did you originally support "the bridge to nowhere?"

This is NOT reporting, but a glaring example of what happens when a former disc jockey like Sean Hannity attempts to play reporter without the credentials.

The whole one hour interview with Sarah Palin by FOX NEWS' Sean Hannity was scripted with Hannity using RNC "talking points" and Palin allowed to know what questions she was going to be asked in advance of the so-called "interview."

In short, the Sean Hannity interview with Sarah Palin wasn't an interview but a gabfest.

VINTAGE VIDEOS: IF WE DON'T REMEMBER HISTORY, WE ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT

There is a frightening similarity between the way the GOP and RNC are going about trying to win the 2008 election and what took place in Nazi, Germany in the 1930s.

Here are a few vintage videos that should be seen as a reminder of what can happen when power mad people try to seize a country:

2,000 DOCTORS CALL ON McCAIN TO RELEASE HIS MEDICAL RECORDS

LOS ANGELES -- Over 2,000 MDs and other degreed medical professionals have signed an open letter calling for a "full, public disclosure" of John McCain's medical records. Brave New Films will release the complete list of names to reporters this Thursday. The text of the letter is viewable here.

Editor's note: The following is a press release from our friends at Brave New Films:2,000 Doctors Call on McCain to Release his Medical Records

The state of McCain's health has become an increasingly important issue in the general election. In an interview with George Stephanopoulos last Sunday, Senator Claire McCaskill pointed to McCain's advanced age and history of melanoma as "a reality here that we have to face."

Responding to a question about McCain's cancer, Senator Harry Reid told blogger Matt Stoller last month, "Health issues are extremely important. . .There should be total transparency when a person is running for President of the United States." Senator Chuck Schumer told Stoller, "When you're running for president, everything should be public including your full medical records." Video of the remarks by Schumer and Reid is available here.

In May, the McCain campaign allowed a small group of reporters to review over 1,000 pages of McCain's medical records from 2000 to 2008 in just three hours and under strict prohibitions.

In an interview with the Columbia Journalism Review, Lawrence Altman, M.D., medical correspondent for The New York Times, described the event as such: ". . .to have a slew of reporters and give each individual reporter three hours to go through what was said to be approximately a thousand pages - that's 333 pages per hour, and I don't think speed readers can read that much that fast. . .[the time limit] doesn't allow anyone, in my mind, to make a thorough analysis and recording, which is what you'd want."
