Maybe the educated elite libruls devote their time reading more academic elitist works as opposed to lowest-common denominator political gotcha books.

John McCain has the strength to keep America safe and the courage to secure the peace.

I actually think this is the funniest post I've seen in a while.

Especially with that source too quoted as support.

You couldn't make stuff like this up if you tried.

Stephen Colbert would be pissed that he’s not in both lists.

U2Fanatic4ever · 09-10-2008, 08:08 PM

well if amazon states it must be true.. and I think they should just throw out the whole election in Nov. and call Mc Cain the new president of the United States..

Please tell me that you're an alter just trying to fuck around, and that you don't really believe any of the crap that you write.

8872 posts is a lot of fucking around.

Tonight, Chris Matthews was absolutely brilliant. Perhaps the best piece of tv journalism ever.

Watch both of these (they're part 1 & 2). Amazing.

If John McCain is going to feed the media bullshit stories that don't deserve to be newsworthy, it looks like the media is going to fire back. Good for them.

Before someone posts an article supporting their point, they really should read the whole article.

This is the one that I've been worried about for awhile now - so much so that I wasn't even going to mention it on FYM - hoping against hope that it just might be overlooked (ya right, who was I kidding? Myself obviously.) I first read this about a month ago and after reading numerous articles on it decided to dig deeper. The thing is, after reading several articles on it I still didn't quite know what it was about. It sounded horrible. If it was true I really had my doubts about Obama. Why would he vote this way on something so obviously wrong? This is one that you can expect the Republican's to air ads sometime in October - probably middle to late October - so the public has no time to research it properly. They'll gasp and think he's a monster. Once again I hear the sound of Karl Rove cackling. Shit.

That's classic

Thank you, I thought you were actually serious for awhile.

I would love to see some McCain supporters parading around with big signs that say OBAMA EATS BABIES.

That would be just really, really great.

anitram · 09-10-2008, 08:29 PM

I almost felt sorry for that Republican shill in that clip.

John McCain is a liar. Hey if repetition works for them...

namkcuR · 09-10-2008, 08:31 PM

Olbermann's special comment tonight, tearing not only McCain, but the whole GOP really, for the way they've turned 9/11 into 9/11 with a trademark, a political tool. I think it is phenomenal, but I'm sure a good deal of you will think it's over the top.

That's the problem. It worked in the previous two elections.

I'm wondering, what do Democrats think regarding ways of preventing these lies from becoming ingrained into the American consciousness? Is there any way to stop this happening for a third time?

Yeah, me too. Sure, I'm biased, but I typically find that most of the Republican spokespeople on these shows come off as slimy, plain and simple. This guy, on the other hand, actually seemed like he might be a nice guy in real life. But he should've expected it--he was booked to defend a bullshit accusation, one that the McCain people thought was so important that they pushed it all morning.

Honestly, I think that the media have every right to start cutting through the crap. Get rid of this bullshit about dodging questions and spinning answers. Who the hell cares if some dumbass Congressperson doesn't come back to your show if they never give you an answer in the first place? Frankly, I'm happy that Campbell Brown has started to take this approach, as well as the obvious characters of Matthews and Olbermann. The rest need to get on board. Enough with the bullshit.
