"Republicans supposedly being christians, all I have to say is, "I am my brother's keeper," remember that, you hypocrites? Sure, stop people from getting abortions in the name of Christ, but when it comes to "when I was hungry you fed me, and when I was naked you clothed me," it's "you're on your own, to hell with you, make your own." AMEN cucarachita! AMEN Republican ethical sense does not go beyond the bible badge. That is the depth of their ethical sense. Of course pretty generous when it comes to diminish the rights of women.

Excuse me, but there are a limited amount of seats available, so he has to say no to someone at some point. Get over it. That line about "the redistribution of seats" or whatever is just so stupid. FOr that matter, about spreading the wealth around -- isn't that what taxes have always been? Only non-taxpayers should have a problem with the idea of spreading the wealth. And with all the Republicans supposedly being christians, all I have to say is, "I am my brother's keeper," remember that, you hypocrites? Sure, stop people from getting abortions in the name of Christ, but when it comes to "when I was hungry you fed me, and when I was naked you clothed me," it's "you're on your own, to hell with you, make your own." And when you're all old and broke and eating dog food because of this economy, you'll be glad to have me around willingly paying my taxes to pay YOUR way, and you won't even thank me for spreading MY wealth, will you, because I'm not white, christian, or republican, and I despise you even though I gladly pay my taxes to help take care of all you bigoted, ignorant pigs. Because yes, I am my brother's keeper, even if you're my idiot brother.

Hmmm. . . wasn't Obama the "change" candidate? I know I heard the word change somewhere. It was him, right?

don't hate the playa, hate the game. I surely doubt mccain has a much smaller plane. most jets have at least 100 seats. unless Obama has that new Airbus superliner. non story and stop whining.

If we're going to compare the two "kicked off the plane" situations, it should be noted that Obama's plane is substantially larger than McCain's, with 30-40 more seats.

Typical neo-lib tactics. People should expect more of this if Obama 'The One' is elected. Obama cult members will do anything to silence non believers. It is absolutely chilling.

It's his plane - he can bring whoever he wants. If the Post wants to cover him they can pay for their reporters to fly around.

Don't the republicans say that 99% of media outlets are against them? Republicans are so "good" at editing the information is feed to their hungry for "anti-biased" media that create their own outlets no matter how far away they are from reality. Taking out of the plane what represents a 4% of the media only hurts those hard core plot feeding republicans. The infamous "plot chaser" here was one of those journalist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrnRU3ocIH4

I can deal with this since there are limited seats, and 2 of those 3 publications are basically a joke in regards to actual journalism. But I hope that this kind of stuff doesn't continue on into the presidency. It would be a shame if we continue to see the same kind of policies towards the press that the Bush administration was so fond of continue on into either of the potential new administrations. Oh, and congratulations to #6 for actually spelling Nacogdoches correctly.

Good for them. They should also stop talking to Fox "News" as it is not a news agency but the official propaganda arm of the Republican party.

Why should Obama's campaign accommodate a rag like the NY Post which has been pushing the phony "Acorn is Gonna Steal the Election for Obama" BS Story? Good for Obama, he is classy and won't drag McCain through the mud, but he is not a pushover!

The papers pay for the seat; it's not free. Seat roulette is common on campaign planes.

Did I say #3? I meant #4. But #3 makes a good point too!

Exactly, #3. Who the hell invited those garbage papers onto that plane to begin with? The Washington Times is the bizarro freakish brainchild of Rev.Sung Myung Moon; the NY Post is a wholly owned subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch's cancerous colon; and The Dallas Morning News hasn't endorsed a Democrat since the last legal lynching in Nacogdoches. Fuck 'em.

Dems are the breaks, they're lucky it didn't happen earlier. freakin whiners. when did the GOP turn into the party of whiners. forreals. will a robocall come out on this, too?

Why was someone from The Washington Times ever given a seat on the plane?

you choose which side you want and live with the consequences, same as in real life. you get the perks when you're hot, and the kick in the ass when you're not.

It's funny they didn't bother list the reporters kicked off the McCain plane. Joe Klein from Time and Maureen Dowd from the New York Times to name just two. You gotta love the hypocrites . . . I mean Republicans.
