McCain Defends Obama as a Decent Family Man »

Posted By capj71 1 year, 1 month ago in News

For the past few days, I have been seeing signs that John McCain wasn’t comfortable with the insinuations that Barack Obama is a Muslim or a terrorist, and this evening at a Minnesota town hall meeting, he defended Obama when one of his supporters called him an Arab terrorist.

      This is seriously scary stuff. These wingnuts would rather murder a great man and a great American than lose a contest.

      Even their own candidate can hardly stand being in the same room as these nuttos, and he is no prince of integrity himself.

        Hats off to John McCain for cutting these idiots off before they really showed their ignorence. The old white broad was cut short before she had a chance to say n@gg#r plain and simple. Hell I'm white and I was ashamed by their comments.

        So, let me get this straight.

        John McCain spends a lifetime of doing racist things like consistently not voting for implementing Martin Luther King Jr. day as a holiday, and defending the Confederate flag being flown over the capitol in South Carolina. Then, he hires a racist "pit bull" to accuse a good, decent family man of being a terrorist.

        Now we are supposed to believe he is sorry?

        The articles should be investigating McCains ties to Hitler (yes he was alive then, too) or the KKK instead of Obama's acquaintances with Ayers.

        McCain's "Pretzel Talk" Express initiated the comments about Obama's Muslim and "terrorist" roots and those comments have lighted a fire among the anti-black and anti-Obama racists. Now McCain is aware those bigots are a menace for his campaign and the whole country!

          I saw clips of this on the news last night, and it was good to finally see McCain step up to the plate and face down his own people. Never mind they are simply following the lead set by his own campaign. It's good to see though that McCain is finally drawing the line somewhere.

          You know.....if he had run his campaign like this, like the REAL "straight talk express" instead of the pathetic alter-ego version of himself that he's sadly become, he might have actually won this election quite handily. Many democrats were supporters of McCain before he started playing politics and buddying up to Bush in his desperate attempt to win his final presidential bid. After his last loss in 2000, and how Bush shut him down using the crooked tactics that McCain has been trying to employ since, few who really did admire the man for his tenacity and character continued to. In the past few years, he's taken a career of solid "Maverick" credentials and turned himself into a "Beltway w-h-o-r-e" instead......its very sad to have seen happen. I'm glad to see, however, that he's at least trying to salvage SOME of his old self in the waning days of this election by disavowing these libelous comments being made by his supporters. Its too little too late for his campaign, but perhaps he can salvage at least some of his legacy this way, if he proves to be genuine in his efforts that is.

              See, that's how smart McCain is. You all were so wrong for calling him racist.

              to a choice dumb or dumber? This is the worst election ever and what makes me the most sick is how one sided everything is. The headlines are all about bad McCain/Palin and wonderful Obama, everyone has dirt and I have seen it and proved it on Obama but that dirt is not out on front page, it is swept under the rug. The only way that I can stay at peace right now is to know that I know Jesus and I talk to God and when the pooh hits the fan in this world I know where I stand. May everyone else find God!

              Look at what FOX, Limbaugh, Hannity and O'Reilly have accomplished. Yes, all guilty!

                No one's cause is helped with all the name-calling -- bimbo, terrorist, moron, over-the-hill, socialist, etc. If these are the people chosen to run for President in the primary process, the deserve a certain amount of respect, as do their choices for VP. Painting them as all one thing or the other creates stereotypes that are too easy to hate. Does no one remember what happened to Malcolm, Martin, Jack and Bobby?

                  When McCain defended Obama , I almost cried. I had the most awsome inner peace and satisfaction knowing Obama will make a great president for this country. I have watched Obama very carefully since this whole thing began. His transformation , conforming into exactly what Americans desire so desparately has been so awsome to watch. Change is very good. He is reasonable. He is flexable. With each moment of growth , He has only gotton better and better. I hope Obama gets in the white house and pulls out all the corruption by the very root. Line by every single line. We are going to learn alot about how our great country has been ran for a very long time. Obama will be the GREATEST president we've ever known...you wait and see. Obama has my vote. xoxo RumorsKari

                    Presidential contenders are supposed to moderate their gatherings and rein in the excesses. I think the fact that this has become conspicuous in the media is the main reason McCain has decided that it has gone too far. Its beginning to back fire. These are becoming like torch light rallies for the Klan or the Nazis.

                    The question is whether Palin has such discretion. Tact isn't one of her strong suits. If Obama and Biden were engaging in similar hate rallies, their would be outrage on the Republican side. Republicans are quick to get high and mighty when their tactics are turned on them. Otherwise, its anything goes. They can accuse Obama of being a terrorist, a homosexual, a communist, an elitist, an America hater, a Muslim, or any other label or allegation they can scrape together and its fair game, but you can't say anything about Sarah Palin's underaged child having a baby out of wedlock. When Wesley Clark made the perfectly valid and mild statement that McCains military experience did not make him automatically qualified to be president, Republicans were full of outrage. Republican's play the feminist card when it suits them then work to undermine womens rights, maternity leave, or any tangible measure that would support women in reality. They are so phony and hypocritical. But this is why they are going to lose the election big time. Even some Republicans are beginning to realize that they have to change their party or become a permanent minority. Their movement is dying. Their own extremism has killed it.
