Is McCain a p****?

When the "real" reporters won't do their jobs, sometimes average citizens step up to the microphone. And then get rousted by the Secret Service.

By way of comparison: How much of this uncomfortable question asked of John McCain -- about his own reported poor behavior -- have you seen reported in regular news outlets, such as daily newspapers? And think back about whether you've read in daily newspapers about uncomfortable questions posed to Chelsea Clinton in open forums -- questions not about her behavior or her mother the candidate's behavior but about her father's behavior?

The question for the fall remains: Will McCain continue to receive a media pass because of his popularity with the Washington press?

Comments

Oh oh.....Cheney has pulled the video quicker than you can say no bid contract. It's missing from Huffington too. Where can we see it now? What was it all about? Oh the power of the dark forces in America strengthens rather than declines. We're in for a rough time of it.

Now the Secret Service is protecting the Rethuglican candidate from tough questions? Although the language was presumably crude, the book The Real McCain charges that McCain called his wife that name. I see nothing wrong with asking McCain to comment on the allegations. He ought to be able to handle it without "SS" assistance. Maybe he should take lessons from Chelsea.
BTW, if I were Cindy McCain, I would have pulled him up short and fast in front of those five guys -- an icy "John, that was uncalled for." And we would have talked about it later at some length. No one, man or woman, should have to put up with that nonsense.

The networks in North Carolina and Indiana are raking several hundred thousand dollars a day.. Why on earth would facts or distractions, or good of country be allowed to get in the way of a financial boon?

When one considers the level of incompetence displayed by the likes of Hannity, Blitzer, Russert, Couric, etc etc. and the millions each they are paid, it's obviously intentional design by their corporate paymasters who earn more by insuring folks know less.

Somewhere between 50 and 80 lobbyists work on McCains campaign.. They wrote his "health care " proposal for him. Imagine for one moment if the sexy little lobbyist affair mentioned in the NYT had involved any Democrat? The infotainment value would have been deemed as big a news story as a plague.

Obama has dark skied preacher and the GOPers are running awful brown skined ads.. yet McCains brown skinned children are never mentioned... and McCains adopted children have parents who are royal hypocritical bigots willing to throw them under a bus for political gain. What do we hear from the media about this and much more? *crickets*

The list is so long, the propaganda so blatantly egregious.. We must take back our airwaves from the same war / oil / media profiteers who earn billions while killing our troops and millions of innocents around the world on our dime and our ignorance.

DBI - Max messed up his link to the youtube.. Click on my name to see it.

Notice a preacher asked the C word question.. Imagine if it had been a black preacher who had asked the question

Notice McCin never answers

And kudos to Doigatta for nailing the SS who are criminal in their ongoing assault on the first amendment!

ARK. BLOG: Link works for me.

Yes.*

*(Answer to Max's question)

I didn't give a damn about what President Clinton did privately and I don't give a damn what McCain may or may not have called his ex-wife.

Sometimes this country seems like one big kindergarten class.

So it's okay that McCain dumped his (C word) first wife in the hospital for another super rich woman?

McCain crashed a couple of jets in training and tore up a bunch of power lines in Italy carelessly flying too low. A regular pilot would have probably been assigned desk a job, but his daddy was a 4 star Admiral, and his Grandpa a 4 star Admiral. Were strings pulled to get him back in the air?

Was he tortured?

He broke a leg and two arms ejecting from his plane after bombing a power plant. Hell the civilians nearly beat him to death before the army got him. After they found out his daddy was 4 star Admiral, he was their prized prisoner and received their best medical care.

Finished 4th from the bottom of 894 in his class.
Member of "The Century Club". (over 100 demerits)
Nickname "McNasty"

In front of 5 guys he says to his heiress trophy wife, "At least I don't smear the make up on like a trollop, you cunt".

He's a f*cked up little dude.

Real B&B, he didn't say it to his ex,,,he said it to Cindy, his present wife.
I don't give a thot to what peeps do in private but, this was in a public setting
CALLING ALL GEEKS.....how do I block my address from someone I no longer wish to get
mail from????
Just had a letter from a KIN, making fun of all those poor folks who lost everything yesterday
and telling me all the RICH DEMS should help them but she knows they won't. I have kin who
can turn any subject to a slur against the DEMS, AND I'M TIRED OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
I try to let so much slide but, when I've had a gut full that's it, FINI
Oh, I read the Mcbush's just have a sham marriage & will divorce after the election, who
knows??????????????????????

While I think we should pay more attention to the harmful things McCain might do to America and the world, this C word business is a tad more important than what Obama's preacher says and does. Obama isn't married to Rev. Wright, Obama doesn't sleep with Rev. Wright, Obama isn't living off his preacher's 100 million dollar fortune, Obama's attitude towards preachers isn't as important as a man's attitude towards his wife or women in general.

I've been married for going on 26 years and we've had some rough patches along the way. We've had some knock-down drag-out fights in our time, but never ever no matter how reeling drunk I might have been....never did I ever think to call my wife the C word. And certainly we've both had sense enough to not say mean things to each other in public. The rich live by different rules, I understand, but most of them know better than to denigrate their wives or husbands in public. Jesus!

Oh...one more thing....if I was to ever call my wife the C word, I'd be typing on here with the tip of my nose cause she'd pull my arms off and beat me with em. McCain.....what a FK'ing creep!

jazzy, depends on your email account... but look for a settings area on your inbox or email home page, then you can get into settings for each individual in your address book and perhaps block them there. Hope this helps.

Oh and thanks for pointing out the dying first wife John McCain abandoned in her hospital bed for a rich woman.. was not the same wife he called a "C" in public.

Got to keep the facts straight...

I had to learn to fight first hubby, to save myself and the kids, same as my mom had to
fight my dad to defend herself and me.
Now Frenchie is another bird altogether, still stands when a woman enters the room, runs to
open doors, says, *I beg your pardon?* Me, I say, HUH or if I want to make him smile its,
*Eaaaah.*

Thanks, Eureka,,,I'll play around with it tonight, know there is a way to block unwanted
mail from @#$%^& REPUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today's mail brought a nice letter from the Republican National Committee that started out saying they don't want to believe I've abandoned the Republican Party. They then ask if I've given up? They're worried because their records show they haven't received my membership renewal for the "critical" 2008 presidential election year. Do tell!

This asswipe, Tim Morgan goes on to say that he's just so surprised because he KNOWS how generously I supported President Bush and the RNC in the past. (how FK'ing high is this dude?) The letter goes on to say they know I've probably just been real real busy (yeah, polishing the Rolls) and they just know in their hearts I want to help the RNC elect a Republican President and a Republican Congress because the Democrats are determined to put a liberal like Hillary or Obama in the White House and push our country to the left with their agenda of high taxes, big government, weakened national security, big labor, radical liberal protest groups and Hollywood elites. Do tell once again!

Yeah...nothing a Democrat likes better than weakening our national security! Us liberals are hoping and praying that someday we'll see American cities in ruins and if we're really lucky we'll see our own kids blown apart in what used to be our living room. Who would be dumb enough to fall for this horse shit? The American people have been dumb enough to believe in the McCain myth for 21 years. The man's as phony as a 3 dollar bill. He was unfortunate enough to be shot down and be a POW like hundreds of our soldiers in the Vietnam War. I'm sorry about that, I'm sorry about every single one of them. I'll never forget sitting in front of the TV and crying and crying the summer of 1973 when our POWs came limping home.

But this is a good time to point out that like the mess in Iraq, the Vietnam War didn't have to happen. We lost 58,000 men and women for NOTHING. John McCain could have spent his time calling college girls the C word instead of rotting in North Vietnam. One of those dead 58,000 might have found a cure for cancer if they had lived. One of them might have changed the direction of the Republican Party, keeping it from turning into a force for evil, if they hadn't died in an unnecessary war we lost....we lost and lost and lost.

Now we have John McCain, who should know better, wanting to lead our country into a mess in the Middle East that could dwarf the disastrous Vietnam War. If we just keep stirring the shit, we will ignite the entire Middle East and life as we know it will be over. John McCain did one good thing in his life according to our twisted way of looking at things, he rotted in a POW prison for 5 years.

Other than that he's been a wealthy pus-pocket of corruption on our political system. If only he'd got a little jail time back in the Keating 5 days, our country might have been spared. Oh I know.....let's issue a Letter of Caution to him! That'll fix everything! Do not vote Republican...ever.

Meanwhile (at my name) the bombing of civilians in neighborhoods and HOSPITALS continues in the GOP DLC genocidal neo family values tradition.

I am so proud of our leaders who fund and order our troops to murder innocent human beings for years on end for robber baron purposes.

It's just makes me giddy and all warm and fuzzy inside imagining a US soldier shooting children. God bless America. Have you bombed anyone today? Yes, you have.

Happy Mission Accomplished, John McCain

New DNC Web vid features an unfortunate 2003 clip of John McCain telling FOX News that "the major conflict is over" in Iraq. He said the Mission Accomplished banner hanging over President Bush's head five years ago today was "very appropriate."

It is a damning quote, indeed, but as Americans grow ever more concerned with the country's sputtering economy, it's still unclear if the Dems can turn McCain's support for the Iraq war into the albatross it would certainly be in a different political climate."

To view the two Anointed Ones proclaim Mission accomplished! click on blue name

" ... there's people here who don't respect that kind of language ... " -- himself excepted, I guess.

Jazzy - look at the top of your page where it says Inbox-Outlook Express. Below that you will see message(click that) now click on block sender. Hope that helps.

McCain should answer the question directly.

And Bill Clinton should respond directly to the allegations that he raped Juanita Broaddrick thirty years ago. Her accusations have never been disproven.

"Just had a letter from a KIN, making fun of all those poor folks who lost everything yesterday and telling me . "

jazzy, remind this pathetic excuse for a human being that the sun dries without prejudice the garments of the rich and poor.

I don't have an outlook express, Goof.
I should just grow a spine, write the bitch where she can stick her letters and be done
with it.........
gotta watch the Derby.

Some days just not worth gettin out of bed, now my horse is dead.

So if we are going to relish in the fact he may or may not have called his wife that, I guess Republicans are going to relish in the admitted fact that Obama was a coke head.

Again, I don't care if he called his ex-wife or current wife that. Given that our potential nominee admitted to illegal drug use, these sorts of things might be best left alone.

I found it, I found the BLOCK,,,,mine is under OPTIONS.
Now the wench will pro'bly call me!!!!
I think I must be adopted, Durango, just not like the other family members.
How can anyone see suffering and not DO something?
She said, *They will just have to pull themselves up by their boot straps.*
Hell, those poor folks, I saw on t.v., don't have any boots.........
just heartbreaking.

So a young man, Obama, tried drugs and rejected them early in life.. Then he has the integrity and honesty to write and publish about it himself... That's worse than an adult man (McCain) who dumps his disabled wife, marries his mistress, a very rich gal, and trots around in public calling wife II a "C" for her application of cosmetics? And McCain wont admit it when directly asked by a citizen preacher in Iowa?

And the media who fails to lay all facts about each candidate on the table in a somewhat balanced manner, is not a problem?

I've said it before.. I smell a troll

Obama did much more than try or experiment with them by his own admission. I'm just saying I don't think we want to be having a discussion about the candidate's personal lives. I think Obama has a lot more to lose if we do.

So the short mean spirited temper of a neo nut should be ignored again?

No thanks

So, this is what it all boils down to; Razzle Dazzle..........

>>I don't have an outlook express, Goof.

What I've been doing is responding with facts to my kin who occasionally send the stuff. Last one was
about how important being a Muslim is to Obama, how he will be more faithful to the Muslims than to America.

I sent back 3 photos of GW Monkey Boy 1) holding hands with Muslims, 2) Kissing Muslims, 3) media reports of Muslims' overnight visits to Crawford ranch.

I do that, L.wood...when the Rev. Huck was in the running I sent out all kinds of info about
his ties to Lord's Ranch, everything we know about that family, living under the burden for
what? 10 pitiful years.....know what they wrote back????????????
LIBERAL CRAP.
I'm through....those folks are bought and paid for.
One tiny bright spot today.......Liz Taylor backs Hillary, she has always backed a repug.

What's the question, exactly? Prick or Pussy?
We here at the old homestead say yes to either/both.

I'm surprised that Max did not mention that Marty Parrish, the Baptist minister who asked the question of McCain, is from Arkansas. He moved to Iowa to worked on the Biden campaign last year and stayed. Oh, those pesky Arkies.

Wow, that sure was classy. Liberals really know how to demonstrate decorum.

Since when is John McCain a liberal?


The party of "family values," indeed.

Someone who calls their wife that name in public is someone would would likely beat their wife in private. Abuse is abuse.

Re: Obama -- I wouldn't vote for anyone who hasn't tried drugs, because that person is vastly out of step with the majority of the American public. God knows all three of them look like they need to kick back and fire up a big joint, relax a little.

There's a difference in trying drugs and using drugs.

We have the issues on our side. Why do some insist on talking about personal matters? It makes no sense.
