Right wing talkies attacking McCain
Poor Hugh Hewitt and the rest of right wing talk radio. They are very upset by McCain and are trying to torpedo his candidacy.
Conservative talk radio is ganging up on presidential candidate John McCain, attacking him for joining Democrats to push liberal legislation and opposing bedrock Republican positions from tax cuts to immigration.
I guess Hewitt was hoping his Mitt book would have landed him the lead position of "The Department of Right Wing Blogger Noise," in Romney's administration.
aint just hewitt....its all of them
funniest one is hannity, who has taken to begging his listeners to vote for romney, and is also begging the huckster to drop out
whats really funny is how unliberal mccain really is
they just cant take the fact that he isnt a lockstep neocon facsist ahole that wants to give money to every corporate stooge and waterboard every political prisoner
if i wasnt so freaked about the economy, i would really be enjoying this election cycle
The Righties just don't understand . . . theirs is a dying religion. Conservatism fears looking forward. Fortunately, the upcoming generation does not. See ya Repugs. You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.
The opposite of the love boat.
Man overboard!!!!
Why do these conservatives keep heading out to sea for their conferences? Do they need to be off shore to engage in their illegal agenda?
I'll bet you're sorry you missed this cruise sponsored by the National Review:
This will be a Titanic affair that you’ll remember long after the Global War on Terror has metastasized into a perennial nightmare that your children’s children will still be fighting.
Heh. "The Hate Boat."
Hugh Hewitt's 1-share radio show displays exactly how disinterested corporate radio is in actually making a profit. They simply care about pushing the ideological bullshit for their corporate overlords.
poor neocons... most of them are suffering undiagnosed "baghdad bob" syndrome.
It's been fun watching the pundits squirm as their man Giuliani went down faster than Monica Lewinsky. Ironic, no?
Let's hope they keep it up. Mittins couldn't beat Mike Gravel. McCain will be a tough fight.
The latest Rasmussen Reports survey of Election 2008 shows Republican frontrunner Senator John McCain with single-digit leads over Democratic Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. McCain now leads Clinton 48% to 40%. He leads Barack Obama 47% to 41%

Snowball @ 8:
as an obama supporter, i relish the opportunity to demolish mccain. there's no republican candidate i'll have more fun antagonizing, ridiculing and demoralizing...
talk about a boatload of assholes
Will the implosion of the Republican Party make any noise if there’s no one around to hear, or care? These pundits would realize they are on a sinking ship if they had any semblance of self awareness. And that’s what makes this so entertaining. Turn ye worms, turn.
Uncle Joe Mccarthy @ 1:
Not to mention the non-compassionate assholes HATE McCain for his mercyful "amnesty" for illegals.
Well, we will have to put up with this shit until November. These idiots are going to go nuts! And now all those stupid negative ads aren't going to scare the crap of average Americans anymore. They have played the fear card to many times. And that was all they had going for them. Lets hope 2008 bringa a new age. I'm praying for it.
that link makes no sense.
Hate,exciting and new,
Come aboard.
We're expecting you.
Hate, life's sweetest reward.
Let it flow,
it floats back to you.
The Hate Boat
soon will be making another run.
The Hate Boat promises something for everyone.
Set a course for adventure,
Your mind on a new romance.
Hate won't hurt anymore
It's Dick Cheney's frown on a friendly shore.
It's Haaaaaaate!
Welcome aboard - It's Haaaaaaate!
wait, this is really rich, so now that their boy rudy is history they're going to try to convince their minions that a viable alternative to mccain is "i used to be a liberal but i ain't one anymore" romney? right. ok. did they get him past that jesus is brother to satan thing with the baptists yet? no? get back to me when they do.
Another Mitt-head heard from. This may get me in trouble here but I think McCain is the least offensive of the republican candidates. Romney strikes me as just too facile, oleaginous and untruthful. Ron Paul, while admirably frank has such profoundly demented economic policies that he just plain scares me.
The Pud Boat.

man Ill say,, I was just driing down the 405 out here in LA and there was some wild man rightwinger on the AM dial doing a point by point comparison in realtime with the demo debate.. they had maccain onboard with all the "liberal left " agenda..
This is part of the right-wing talking points. They WANT you to believe McCain is working with liberals -- to get Dems to vote for him.
Peter G @ 17:
I'm with you on McCain. If the loony bastards on wingnut talk radio hate him he's fine by me. Path to citizenship for illegals - check. Protecting the right to filibuster when Democrats were the minority - check.
And as far as the surge goes I guess I was on the fence about that anyway. The war was a disaster at the time and we could have either picked up and left or put in reinfocements to try to get the situaution under control. It was a CRIME to go in there in the first place under the bogus reasons they gave us. But we owed it to the Iraqi people not to leave the place broke. It may not be perfect now but it IS better than it was pre-surge.
McCain is a guy I could live with - not my choice ut if there MUST be a Republican in the White House...
He'd be a FFARR better president than any Republican president since and including Reagan, that's for sure.
Okay, let the extreme right wingnuts fret but it's actually a public relations ploy to portray the war criminal, Mad Dog McCain, as a "moderate" and "centrist". He is anything but. Anyone who gleefully sings, "Bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran" and then announces he wants to stay in Iraq for a hundred years is a psychotic, preliminary Alzheimer's asshole.
LMAO! They're standing behind the slimey and "formerly liberal" Mittens.

Peter G @ 17:
Looks like their tactic is working. McCain's image as a moderate is as phony as Bush's image as a Compassionate Conservative was. McCain will be sure to appoint a far right Supreme, pursue loony economic policies and likely start a war with Iran. Can you live with that?
Curiouser and curiouser.
I can't understand why Poppy Bush and KKKarl don't have these minions whipped into proper shape. They'll support duhbya but they won't support McCain? What's the difference?
I think they know that by painting McCain as a "maverick moderate" and the non-Republican Republican, he can win the general election. They know the more they do that, the more acceptable he becomes to the American public.
Any enemy of Fox News is a friend of mine.
I can only assume one thing: Republicans are tired of Conservatism after 7 years of Bush. It certainly isn't the Liberals fault.
See, it's working.
Different Anonymous @ 25:
Actually McCain is probably not as bad as Bush - so to the wingnuts that translates to probably not as good as Bush.
Wait a second, Tom Hartman and Randy Rhodes have attacking Clinton for weeks. Have some honesty.
Snowball @ 26:
NO - trust me, the McCain hate coming from loony wingnut talk show hosts goes WAY back before this election campaign. They despise him for cooperating with Dems on ANYTHING in the past. (amnesty / "gang of 14") They hate liberals (fellow Americans) as much as they hate Al Qaeda.
Snowball @ 28:
True dat.
KO just mentioned this blog.
Clinton won .
When they promote these cruises, do people actually want to hang out with this guy? Does this guy actually want to hang with his listeners on a cruise? The whole concept is a little weird
WinSmith @ 5:
Well said. These corporate media assholes would pay Beck, Hannity, Limpballs and the rest 20 million a year, even if they only had 6 listeners. Then they would say that the reason they keep them on, is because no one wants to hear progressives.
They just want to tie-up the airwaves with the sound of their own Orwellean bullshit. They could care less about what the people want to hear.
Given McCain's flexibility the skipper of the Hate Boat has misgivings about McCain's commitment to war, greed, and righteous evil in general.
Timmy_D11 @ 21:
I may get flamed as well, but McCain (only if we must live with a repug) and an absolute majority in congress wouldn't be the end of the world
Guess what, who just endorsed Hillary?

That's right, haha.
Leave to "Hugh Blew-it" to join the rethuglican circular firing squad.
I think the best reply to this one is the first that popped into my head....
Who?
Could it be that people aren't paying attention to them and their hateful venom?
No thanks. The Repubs can keep her.

Just a thought----if Bush wakes up tomorrow and sees his shadow, can we put him in jail?
Arizona senator with a reputation for candor, a sharp tongue, and a willingness to buck popular opinion threatens to capture G.O.P. nomination. Party professionals are aghast. Arizona senator wins nomination without their support, then loses election in landslide.
2008? Or 1964?
John @ 38:
You do understand that Hannity and Coulter are just using Hillary - whose name alone drives conservatives into paroxysms of rage - to scare their sheep away from McCain, right?
The Larry Craig Memorial "Love Boat 2008"! Kills two birds with one stone: Pick up on some of that hot men's room action and do their "planning" outside of the 12 mile terretorial limit, so that nobody can later be charged with conspiracy.
This is right out of South Park.
McPain is one of the founders of PNAC, and his leadership of the CNP is what funded PNAC's creation. He is possibly worse than Bush. He has been positioning himself for the Rovian Spin we know see and hear. Liberal my hairy ass.
Romney gets the kiss of death from Cheney, the repub talking heads put down McPain to attract the moderates of all stripes to McPain. It's a sick and twisted reality they create and all we can do is sit and watch it happen. McPain is as bad a neocon as they come and the operative word is CON as in Con-Man.
McPains deep ties to neoconservatisim wil be buried for sure by the MSM...that you can count on.
Ship of Fools
I knew it was just a matter of time before the right wing hate turned in on itself.
not really, john mccain is the reich-wing neoncons wet dream...four more years of bush...has cheney been hired/retained by john to select a vice-pres candidate?
McCain Confirms It: A Vote for Him Is a Vote for a Third Bush Term

A BUZZFLASH NEWS ALERT
DNC Press
Washington, DC - During appearances on Fox News Sunday and CBS's Face the Nation, John McCain made it clear: a vote for him is a vote for a third Bush term. Echoing his earlier statement that we could be in Iraq for 100 years, he said again that he would continue Bush's never ending civil war in Iraq. "We have to take care of the world's security," McCain said.
"The choice between the Democrats and Republicans couldn't be more clear. A vote for John McCain is a vote for a third Bush term with a never ending war in Iraq and an economy that favors those at the top. A vote for a Democrat is a vote to bring our troops home from Iraq, for an economy that works for all Americans, and a return to America's priorities," said Democratic National Committee Press Secretary Stacie Paxton.
McCain: A Third Bush Term
"They want to have the government run the health care system in America. I want the private sector to do it. On the issue of national security policy, there are very sharp differences... They want to withdraw from Iraq and if we do that al Qaeda wins." [Face the Nation, 2/3/2008]
"I have a strong conservative record and I'm proud of that record and I also believe on the national security side it's going to be a clear difference between me and Senator Clinton or Senator Obama. A clear difference on whether we're going to increase spending or decrease spending, increase taxes or decrease taxes, whether we're going to withdraw from Iraq or we're going to see this thing through to the success." [Fox News Sunday, 2/3/2008]
McCain's 100 Year War in Iraq: "We have to take care of the world's security"
"...This strategy is succeeding. Ad I believe that if we had set a date for withdrawal or if we do set a date for withdrawal, al Qaeda will then win and we'll see chaos and genocide in the region. That's another significant difference that Senator Clinton and I have...and I look forward to discussing it. It's not a matter of how long Americans stay. It's a matter of American casualties. And those casualties are coming down and we can eliminate them. Look, we're in Kuwait right next door to Iraq. We're in turkey. We're in Bosnia. We're all over the world. One of the obligations, unfortunately, of being a great superpower is that we have to take care of the world's security." [Fox News Sunday, 2/3/2008]
McCain: More of the Same Bush Supreme Court
"I would appoint justices such as the ones I've strongly supported and gotten through the Senate with the help of many others or help along with others. Only those who strictly interpret the constitution of the United States and do not legislate from the bench... If you have justices that have a clear, conservative, a clear, strict interpretation of the constitution of the United States, then you don't have to worry about what their decisions will be." [Fox News Sunday, 2/3/2008]
