Good thing this is reprinted in its entirety on Free Republic. You cannot access the site from which this came for the time being anyway ... also there was a YouTube video on Barack Obama, William Ayers and Acorn at this link here that has been removed.

Don't forget, if he gets his way and doesn't bankrupt coal companies, we will absorb the carbon tax in higher energy costs. This should be a huge story for miners and the coal industry as well as utility companies and other industries who use energy derived from coal. It's a shame that it is surfacing so late, but maybe that will work in McCain's favor because the opposition will have less time to spin it.

I can tell you first hand that some coal burns cleaner than other kinds. We had tenants in a farm house, I accompanied my father to check on things. While my father talked to the husband, the wife took me upstairs. The walls, ceilings, everything were completely coated with filthy coal dust that had floated through the ducts.

On the way home, I told my father about it, and he put in a new furnace that could switch between propane and wood, I think that's what it did. It came out that they had purchased cheaper "soft" coal from somewhere in the south. Curiously strip mining was common in the area where the farm was but all the mines nearby had either shut down, been abandoned or mined out, never thought to find out about that. I'm talking Illinois. It still has a lot of coal deposits, especially in the southern part of the state.

For the comsumer, we could darn well freeze to death from his draconian idealogy if energy is rationed or energy bills go too high. The poor can't pay them already and have to go every winter and apply for help from the government, and when the allocation for that year runs out as it always does, they are SOL. Many around here where it gets freezing cold in the winter have already had their natural gas shut off, happens in Chicago, too.

MSM is going to spike this story.

You never know. About a third of the newpapers have endorsed McCain. Some will run the story.

All of us should be sending the youtube link to our state papers and tv stations.

I found the story via Google News with the keywords Obama and Coal.

When I went back to Google News it had been pulled in the very short time it was up.

I guess it was to be that I was able to find and post it so quickly.

Every family’s Electricty Bill will go through the roof, when Obama increases taxes on the Coal Industry until they become bankrupt.

All good stuff, but all too late. Where has McCain’s oppo-research been? This could have buried Obama in West Va and PA. and flat footed McCain is talking about it on Sunday before election day.

There was enough stuff in Obama’s background, from his own imbecilic mouth, not counting Sirhan Sirhan, Ayers, Wright, Khalidi and Rezko to bury him in this election. McCain can’t get out of his own way. If he wins it is divine intervention!

Heck, I believe his statements.

Obama doesn’t have much of a shot in West Virginia, anyway.

The timing on this story is brilliant.

Just as the American Public is breathing a bit easier now that gasoline is down to $2.50 per gallon or so, the last thing the American Public wants to hear is that Obama wants electricity prices to SKYROCKET!!!!!!

This stuff is not too late. Too many people only retain something they see or read in the news for 3 days or less.

Secondly, by releasing this audio of Obama now, he has no time to refute what he said.

Third, if Obama refutes what he said that only makes the story become more newsworthy and published in more places.

Use the internet to email this story to friends, bloggers, newspapers, talk shows, etc.

I just made a phone call to

Hazelton, PA 570-455-3621 Lucernemines, PA 724-479-8692 Glace Bay, NS 902-849-8692
District 12 (IL, IN, Western KY, MO, IA, KS, OK, AR, LA, TX)
3695 South Sixth St.
Springfield, IL 62703
217-529-8301

There is actually someone answering the phone who insists that Obama is a friend of the UMWA and will bring hope and change. Maybe the lil fella needs to hear from some more Freepers
