John McCain's campaign has apparently decided its last, best hope to defy the odds and prevail Tuesday lies in a distorted, out-of-context, months-old clip of Barack Obama talking about coal.
McCain has claimed Obama wants to "bankrupt" the coal industry, based on a clip from a January interview with the San Francisco Chronicle's editorial board. The clip was posted online by the same YouTube user who last month unearthed and heavily edited a 2001 clip of Obama speaking to Chicago Public Radio. This time, the coal clip followed the same path to prominence as the previous mini-scandal: from YouTube, to right-wing blog, to the Drudge Report, to Fox News to McCain stump speech.
Obama was discussing his support for a cap & trade system to reduce carbon emissions, which would create a market on which companies could trade emissions credits.

The union thugs’ tingle has turned into a tinkle.
Up is down, night is day, black is white...what a complete lack of intellectual honesty we’ve fostered in this country over the last couple of generations.
Well, when these union jokers are out of a job because their Obama boy enacts punitive emissions standards along with a Dem controlled congress they can cry about it then.
The Dems must be panicking because they’re out in force there with their comments.
I hope miners are not stupid enough to fall for this load of crap.
Bizarre...they hear Obama’s own words, then say that he didn’t mean them. And blame John McCain.
What part of “Bankrupt” don’t you understand Miners???
Headline: Miners Union gladly helps Obama put Industry out of business and moves into tent of Hussein’s half cousin in Kenya where they all share his wealth of $1 per year in earnings.
me too... however, if they are--then let the chips fall where they may... if they find their butts out of work and their towns closing down, well... we told them so...
Who gives a shit what the union says?
This proves one thing, FReepers should turn our focus to Digg articles, there has been an effort, but IMO must folks don’t understand what our weight could do to propaganda such as this.
These are the same idiots who would cut the treelimb they are standing on...
Up is down, night is day, black is white...what a complete lack of intellectual honesty we’ve fostered in this country over the last couple of generations.
Unions want Obama elected because they want/need Card Check.
Obama will create his New Deal and give his union thugs jobs and they will thank their Dear Leader.
Perhaps he will make them members of his “civilian security force”. AKA, the Brown Shirts. But, then what would ACORN do?
Problem is, Obama will probably start a government assited program for all of them, hand them free money and pat them on the head.
Headline should read:
PIG-HEADED UNION BOSSES SEEK TO DESTROY ANOTHER US INDUSTRY
Good heavens, when will all of these socialist clowns get a clue about what actually produces “jobs jobs jobs”???
hint: it ain’t socialist wankers like Obambi and Biden babbling about a 3-letter word:
J-O-B-S
Didn't I hear Dear Leader wants 26000 'security troops' PER STATE? ACORN will be their commanders.
