Old news, not even relevant to Obama’s playing the race card AGAIN.
Reply
The only one being a racist in this campaign is Obama, and the American people see it, That’s why Obama has DROPPED 10 points since coming back from his European tour.
From an interview back in April of this year. There is nothing ya can say that is more damaging then what McCain said about himself.
April 3 2008
McCain has said on a number of occasions that he regrets his original 1983 vote and told reporters this week that he is “very proud” of his record of support for King.
“I voted in my…first year in Congress against it and then I began to learn and I studied and people talked to me. And I not only supported it but I fought very hard in my home state of Arizona for recognition against a governor who was of my own party,” McCain said during a media availability aboard his plane Monday (video above). “I had not been involved in the issue. I had come from being in the military to running for Congress in a state that did not have a very large African American population and it had not been in issue. It just simply had not been.”
But among other issues critics raise are McCain’s vote against the 1990 Civil Rights Act, which sought to curb discrimination in the workplace (and eventually passed as the 1991 act), as well as his short-lived support for South Carolina’s right to fly the confederate flag over the statehouse during the 2000 primary. He later reversed his position on the flag and called for its removal, referring his initial position an “act of cowardice.”

Is there nothing he won't claim to have supported when facts show he clearly didn't? The man must have evolved into a serial liar. McBush has been a closet racist his whole life and there wasn't a civil rights bill that he wouldn't vote against.

Nice! A bona fide senior moment--no, moments, in which the veil suddenly falls over cognition/memory--followed by...invention, let's call it, to be charitable.

In sum, the guy isn't sufficiently fit, in every sense, to be president. Though of course WHO he is is less important than which interests he represents to those who will vote for him. -

The major networks are giving McCain with all his mistakes a free ride. The conservative network media are now on a vendetta to bring down Obama with negative reporting while only showing McCain's speeches blasting Obama. I've never seen them report a mistake Mccain has made but have seen plenty of them nitpicking Obama's speeches..

automan909- That is exactly what is wrong with America TODAY. If it does not affect me directly, I don't give a damn. Unfortunately, history shows us that if we do not speak up about injustices that affect others horrible events like the holcaust happens. Too bad you don't get it. I hope you never find yourself in a situation where your constitutional rights to vote, own property and live any where you desire comes under attck.

"Lots of people in this country don't support MLK day. Whats the big deal?
He never did anything for me."
Now here we have an individual who is completely bereft of any compassion and , understanding of what Dr. Martin Luther King gave his life for.
The kind of person only Karl Rove could relate too! -

''He never did anything for me.''

MLK did something for all humanity by helping to improve racial justice. He helped you by leading a movement that improved the country you live in. He did something for you by addressing injustices that were eating up both sides of the racial fence, injustices that were a blight on the soul of the country
he helped you out more than you know, by helping out humanity thru self-sacrifice
If you're human, he did something for you
shoot, just the advocacy of change thru non-violence helped you-suppose he advocated violent upheaval and popularized THAT instead of sit-ins?

Olbermann is one of the most biased people I have ever watched. He may even be worse than Fox when it comes to cheering for a certain candidate. Not once have I heard him say one negative thing about Obama, but comment after comment is made blasting McCain. He comes off as an arrogant a** and makes me sick. I honestly can't stand the man.

(sorry if I sound a little angry, I'm actually in the middle of watching Countdown so the feelings are a little fresh.)

This is one really biased, racist board. You will lie, cheat, and do anything to get that complete waste Obama elected. If he wins, the KKK and the American Nazi Party will see a vast increase in membership.>>>>
Reply
Did you not see the video? Clearly, something is wrong. You can't see that? And good if the KKK & nazi party increases. More to bring down at one time, rather than them hiding in the shadows. What on earth is wrong with you?

There is a difference, Ani, between the kinds of breaks in speech flow that indicate that one is taking time to frame the appropriate response and the McCainian lapses, which indicate a temporary thought shut-down.

But I do concur that O. hasn't, for example, Hillary's ability to extemporize smoothly-cogently, her easy articulation....-

I respectfully disagree. Obama appears to actually digest the question, think about it and gived a thoughtful answer to the question posed. In my opinion, Hillary, due to her experience, appeared to speak more in prepared sound bites as she had probably already faced the question previously. Regardless, she was much more intelligent and a better speaker than McCain.

Geez newbie, I don't know where black people would get crazy ideas like that.
Reply
Maybe because their own government used them as human guineau pigs for 40 years in a medical experiment?

That's a tired excuse using an isolated event from many decades ago. The federal government also exposed soldiers to radiation as a part of scientific tests. Basically, scientific ethics were to blame, not simply racism. The belief that the federal government created AIDS is ignorance that anyone with the most rudimentary education should do their best to dispell. It ranks up there with the 9-11 unTruther crackpots.

Bad, bad, bad, and getting worse.

Sad, sad, sad, and getting sadder and more pathetic.
This man is the biggest potential threat to the United States of America since George Bush.
Truly dangerous.
"Stumped and Confused and Caught Lying AGAIN!" That's the Repuke slogan for 2008!
And while this man is running loose, Repukes are having fun playing "Teacher's Out Of The Room" in Washington." They have become the laughing stock of the world today!-

The DenOrats are getting as sad as Obambi's poll numbers. The more I read this vitriolic crapola, the harder I laugh at your increasing desperation. "Goddam America!", that's the DenOrats' slogan for this election and it's costing them dearly.
