We can't sit and watch as a man that admittedly doesn't understand economics tries to get into the White House.

Bear Stearns, Fannie and Freddie and now Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers are all proof that Bush economic policies do not work. If McCain is elected things will only get worse.

If you're like most people and don't have any extra money to send to the campaign there's still a lot you can do.

Several Colorado media outlets and personalities uncritically repeated immigration-related falsehoods in their reporting or commentary regarding a fatal traffic accident allegedly caused by an illegal immigrant who reportedly was arrested 16 times but never deported. Newsradio 850 KOA's "Gunny" Bob Newman parroted the unsubstantiated assertion that illegal immigrants kill 12 Americans every day, KDVR Fox 31 aired the baseless claim that "25 to 30 percent of the entire inmate population in most jails are aliens subject to deportation," and columnist Chuck Green in The Pueblo Chieftain and the Aurora Sentinel repeated the myth that Colorado is a "sanctuary state" and Denver is a "sanctuary city."

Summary: Colorado media outlets published numerous falsehoods, provided misleading commentary, and uncritically parroted Republican talking points during the Democratic National Convention in Denver. Will media figures such as 630 KHOW-AM's Dan Caplis and KCNC CBS4's Raj Chohan correct their inaccuracies, as The Gazette of Colorado Springs did after Colorado Media Matters pointed out an error in one of its editorials?

Colorado Media Matters documented numerous falsehoods, misleading commentary, and uncritical repetition of Republican talking points during the local media's coverage of the Democratic National Convention, held August 25-28 in Denver. For example, as a guest columnist in the Rocky Mountain News and on his 630 KHOW-AM radio program, Dan Caplis smeared Sen. Barack Obama four days in a row by distorting his positions on abortion, energy issues, foreign policy, and funding for the armed forces.

Cross-posted on Grassroots Brevard, the official blog of the Brevard County Young Democrats

It seems one of our own Brevard residents has received the rare honor of nominating the Democratic nominee for President…and he’s a Republican veteran.

Watch It:

From the Florida Today:

DENVER — Brevard County’s Mike Wilson was supposed to be one of the unknown speakers who fill the pre-primetime hours at the Democratic National Convention, but he wound up nominating Barack Obama for president today.
