McCain asked the crowd "who is Barack Obama?" Immediately you hear a supporter yell "terrorist." McCain pauses, the audience laughs, and McCain continues on, not acknowledging, not chastising, not correcting. Oh, but McCain does say in the next sentence that he's upset about all the "angry barrage of insults." Is McCain losing his mind, or just a liar?
[...]
We'll hear it said that McCain can't be held responsible for what people in his audiences say. Right. Cause it's never happened before. Oh wait, it did. When an audience member asked, speaking of Hillary Clinton, "How do we beat the bitch?" McCain said it was "an excellent question." McCain fosters hatred and negativity by not standing up to it. He should know better. It's appalling and is destroying whatever is left of his reputation
Barack Obama, she told 8,000 fans at a rally here Monday afternoon, "launched his political career in the living room of a domestic terrorist!" This followed her earlier accusation that the Democrat pals around with terrorists. "This is not a man who sees America the way you and I see America," she told the Clearwater crowd. "I'm afraid this is someone who sees America as imperfect enough to work with a former domestic terrorist who had targeted his own country." The crowd replied with boos.
[...]
Worse, Palin's routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her "less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media." At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, "Sit down, boy."
[...]
The reception had been better in Clearwater, where Palin, speaking to a sea of "Palin Power" and "Sarahcuda" T-shirts, tried to link Obama to the 1960s Weather Underground. "One of his earliest supporters is a man named Bill Ayers," she said. ("Boooo!" said the crowd.) "And, according to the New York Times, he was a domestic terrorist and part of a group that, quote, 'launched a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and our U.S. Capitol,' " she continued. ("Boooo!" the crowd repeated.)
"Kill him!" proposed one man in the audience.

14. Fourteen friggin' friends. Seriously, though, I think that vodka had lost some of its potency. I was drinking my cheap, use-only-for-vodka-cream-sauce vodka. It may be time to get more, 'cause Daddy needs a Screwdriver.
Quote by Scoopster:
Morning all!What a lovely hump day it is! :airhump:
So.. McBitter didn't formally drop the n-bomb, so I managed to stay quite sober last night. But cmon Johnny boy - are you seriously that pissed off that you've lost your two best chances to become President while you're still alive?!
Let's think about this for a second. McCain ran in 2000 and the race came down to him and Dubya.. and he got beat out by that numbnuts moron mommas-boy after a bullshit racist campaign that insulted his adopted child. He watches from his sideline perch in the Senate where he's forced to watch - and by ideology to participate - in the demolition of this country's moral and economic foundations. He watches as his party's fate leads them to the gutter, and then to the exit door of the halls of power.
And then he comes back now, years later, addled by age and illness and fury over the chance that was stolen from him by a fucking idiot. And he watches the country pass him by, because of that idiot's legacy, for someone so full of energy and promise and intelligence and sheer force of will.
And he stands there, the anger rising in him day after day, to the point where he can't even say the man's name or even shake his hand after a spirited discussion of the country's issues and concerns.
No, I don't think John McCain is a racist. I think he's just another victim of the Bush Legacy - a man whose best chance to satisfy his greatest ambition was spirited away by a imbecile, and whose second best chance happened after his own time had run out.

McCain last night said that Teddy Roosevelt was his "hero".
All politics aside, wasn't Teddy the youngest man in history to assume the office of the Presidency? If he's McCain's hero, then shouldn't he not have any issue with Sen. Obama assuming the office, being somewhat older than Teddy? (Of course, the second Sarah joined the ticket, you'll notice the "experience" talking point went poof.)

[Sarah Palin] represents a fatal cancer to the republican party. When I first started in journalism, I worked at the National Review for Bill Buckley. And Buckley famously said he'd rather be ruled by the first 2,000 names in the Boston phone book than by the Harvard faculty. But he didn't think those were the only two options. He thought it was important to have people on the conservative side who celebrated ideas, who celebrated learning. And his whole life was based on that, and that was also true for a lot of the other conservatives in the Reagan era. Reagan had an immense faith in the power of ideas. But there has been a counter, more populist tradition, which is not only to scorn liberal ideas but to scorn ideas entirely. And I'm afraid that Sarah Palin has those prejudices. I think President Bush has those prejudices.
