Thumbs up McCain shows brilliance of character

McCain apologizes for one of his surrogates.




I am deeply impressed by this. Have to give McCain a lot of credit here.

I actually caught that on tv yesterday morning. I was impressed as hell too. The guy in question was one of those talk radio, Rush-wannabe fucktards. After this though I might have to give McCain another look. You'd never see Hillary do something like that.

McCain is a man of respect and honor

And i would bet that if McCain were on that stage when that jerk was talking his trash,McCain would have kicked that guy in the ass and had him dragged out of there by his feet.

McCain knows he isnt getting the hardcore conservatives votes so he has to distance himself from guys like this to try to play to the moderates.

I was being a little sarcastic. If it were Hillary, she'd just deny having anything to do with it.

Rush Limbaugh on Today's Show:

"Okay, so his name is off limits, can't use Hussein. You can't call him a liberal. What other fact about Obama are we not going to be allowed to talk about? That's right, can't talk about his ears, either, because when Maureen Dowd made some comment about his ears, he went straight into the crowd and said, "I'm very sensitive about my ears." She said, "We're trying to toughen you up." Well, it hasn't worked. Can't use the name Hussein, can't call him a liberal, and this is the kind of thing -- look, it's brilliant on Obama's part. He's setting the rules, and everybody's going to abide by them. Republican National Committee, "Okay, we can't call him a liberal because he's going to tear into us, we don't want him tearing into us." Well, I don't know how you're going to characterize his policies if you don't call him a liberal. And, by the way, what's so bad about being a liberal? How come none of these liberals want to be called liberals?

See, Obama's no different than any of the rest of them, folks. No different at all. Nothing new here. The only thing new is the Democrats have now made it official that their guiding principle is "America sucks." But they have to mask who they are, they have to disguise themselves, camouflage themselves, whatever, you call them a liberal, and it's a personal attack. So Obama's now said liberal is off limits, can't do it. What will Republicans do? Your guess is as good as mine, but I hope they don't shy away from that. This Hussein business, that could backfire. It's so charged. It's almost one of those things that could arouse sympathy for Obama, but regardless, I can't believe that somebody's name is off limits. I just don't believe it."

I don't see anything wrong with what Cunningham said. It sounded like an accurate portrayal of Obama to me.

Yes Limbaugh listeners like to be told what to think.

Ive never understood why anyone would listen to Rush or air America or any of them. Soo... you know youre getting a one sided story, right?
