Bill Cunningham viciously attacks Obama while introducing McCain: McCain repudiates him
John may be rethinking his position on sucking up to the right wing talk show hosts after today. Walkie-Talkie, Bill "teachers should beat students" Cunningham went into a typical wingnut rant against Barack Obama as he warmed up the crowd at a Cincinnati/McCain event. He used the Coulter method on Obama (middle name emphasis) as a start. After McCain finished speaking---he found out how whacked out Cunningham was and repudiated him. One has to wonder if McCain really is unhappy about it though...You know what I mean?

"Now we have a hack, Chicago-style Daley politician who is picturing himself as change. When he gets done with you, all you're going to have in your pocket is change," Cunningham said as the audience laughed.
The time will come, Cunningham added, when the liberal-leaning media will "peel the bark off Barack Hussein Obama" and tell the truth about his relationship with indicted fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko and how Obama got "sweetheart deals" in Chicago. He said he envisions a future in which "the great prophet from Chicago takes the stand and the world leaders who want to kill us will simply be singing Kumbaya together around the table with Barack Obama."
Cunningham later attacked McCain for "repudiating" him on his radio show. That one had me rolling. I wonder how the rest of the Noise Machine will feel about that after they stuck up for McCain over the NY Times story. This is the part that will infuriate the Limbaugh's:
"I did not know about these remarks, but I take responsibility for them. I repudiate them," he said. "My entire campaign I have treated Senator Obama and Senator (Hillary Rodham) Clinton with respect. I will continue to do that throughout this campaign."
McCain called both Democrats "honorable Americans" and said, "I want to dissociate myself with any disparaging remarks that may have been said about them."
Asked whether the use of Obama's middle name — the same as former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein — is proper, McCain said: "No, it is not. Any comment that is disparaging of either Senator Clinton or Senator Obama is totally inappropriate."
How quickly McCain forgets about one of his supporters that called Hillary Clinton a "Bitch."
What will the talkies do now? He's cutting out most of their racist material. Obviously, McCain would like nothing more than for the walkie-talkies to go on attacking Obama this way. How else can he win? It's interesting how Ohio Rep. Rob Portman praised Cunningham after he finished his childish tirade.
Willie, you're out of control again. So, what else is new? But we love him," Portman said. "But I've got to tell you, Bill Cunningham lending his voice to this campaign is extremely important. He did it in 2000, he did it in 2004. It was crucial to victory then and it's even more important this year with his bigger radio audience. So, Bill Cunningham, thank you for lending your voice."
Will these types of attacks have any effect in a general election on Obama if wins the nomination come November? Take the "Hot Seat" AOL Poll below the fold.
oooh what a man!
The 20% Nation of idiots and Morons.
I love it when these idiots reveal themselves.
Repudiation is the first necessary step. Now, what is the penalty that Bill Cunningham suffers from the McCain campaign? Is he prohibited from further involvement?
And is the rest of the McCain campaign instructed that no such statements shall be tolerated by any other surrogates on pain of ejection from the campaign?
Or is this the prerequisite empty repudiation, to be followed by the inevitable repetition?
McCain nobly attempts to rise above the stench by ascending to the top of the dung heap.
Nice try, John.
Man the American Majority needs to stop stopping to these morons.
I have seen this man on Fox several times when we used to tune in for a laugh to see how apoplectic O'Reilly was that night. This man is terrible like this every time he talks. This is nothing new for him. He just talks this way against democrats constantly no matter who they are.
Great republican lie..
We get caught more with our hand in the cookie jar because people are watching us more closely.
I believe Cunningham had just come from a Klan Meeting and was still riled up from it. What a complete ass. McCain was a little taken back from his behavior. I would have held that McCain sign in front of my face if I was standing behind him during that pathetic speech.
Bill Cunningham is in the bottom 10% of Right wing radio. That is the lowest of the low.
Cunningham is vermin. But McCain's apology was unambiguous and prompt. He should be given credit for that (especially if he follows through with his promise that it won't happen again)
Even the prop audience in the background seems a little put-off by this raving lunatic.
Is this the best you've got Cincinnati?
Jared Wolfhope @ 10:
Jared: I disagree, cunningham is not "the lowest of the low". That dubious honor goes to michael weiner aka savage, who noses out coulter for the most hateful bile spewer in media.

McCain is the best of a sorry heap of candidates; think mittens would have disowned cunningham? [Who can forget "not osama, Obama or Hillary's Moma"(sic)]
Why are McCain's arms so goddamned short?
Must be he's just a short-armed vulgarian.

Wow. What a fine example of wingnuttyness.
That's an old game. Get some jerk like this to attack your opponent, then apologize. You win 2 ways. You get the negative message out there, and you look like the class act for your apology.
Don't believe a word of it.
Chelsea's Moma (sic) - Sorry, my bad.
I see no difference between him and hannity.
Yeah, and Mccain says he knew NOTHING about it. Sure, Just like Bush knew nothing about the Black Baby whisper campaign against McCain in 2000. It's out there, that's all that matters. WINK WINK NOD NOD.
Give McCain credit, most would have let the remarks slide and gladly accepted Cunningham's support. It took guts.
Isn't he also viciously attacking the Clintons, claiming they control all of the media? (The whole "Clinton Machine," "liberal media" canard.)
Obviously, he's being a scumbag by trying to make hay out of Obama's middle name, but why isn't anyone noticing the attack on the Clintons?
#10:
"Bill Cunningham is in the bottom 10% of Right wing radio. That is the lowest of the low."
Really? Because what he said really is not far off at all from what others like Beck, Limbaugh, Coulter, etc. say on a daily basis. I don't see this guy as any different other than the size of his audience. He's just like all the others and has shown himself to be so. I can't see how he's any less cretin than the others besides the relative dimunition of his bank account.
Also, it's hard to get lower than Freeperville. This guy would sound at least demonstrative, if not high-brow, over there.
gumby @ 27:
It took calculation. After not responding to the "bitch" comment from one of his questioners he is weighing out the possible damage before making a statement.
That's what we call setting the stage.
oh, the crocodile teer I shed for *gag* compassionate McCain.
#23 got it just about right that "That’s an old game. Get some jerk like this to attack your opponent, then apologize. You win 2 ways."
It's actually much better than that. With 24-7 cable news replaying the clip over and over and over, not to mention YouTube and all the rest, you win more like 2 million ways.
I don't believe for a moment the McCain campaign wasn't privately gleeful about the episode.
Cunningham got his lines from Jon Stewart. Serves him right.
Why was this video cut off?
Where can we get the rest of the damn video?
Hey....Cunningham...
BOO!
Looka' the wet spot!
Don't speak for me and mine with all of your fears of death and terr'st attacks, you ranting, bedwetting, craven little coward.
And by the way, just because a bloviating loser like yourself could not manage any kind of diplomacy with other world leaders, doesn't mean it isn't possible.
Am I the only one who finds it strange that the radical muslims of the world haven't pronounced a death sentence on Obama for having left the "faith" as is their standard practice for lesser muslims who aren't in line for the US presidency? Could it be that there's some kind of back room deal going on?
Cunningham is a Great American and a pillar of Ohio. McCain took some bad advice and made a bad knee jerk reaction. McCain reacted based on the flack he received last fall for not reacting to the Clinton "bch" comment. He should have simply stated that Billy was only repeating what he has said on his talk shows. Barrack Hussein isn't embarrassed of his name, why should McCain be. Also, if Obama was a truly deserving of being president, he wouldn't back down from the mention of his middle name. Both men lost my vote. When will we get a decent presidential candidate?
#357: Arrogant? That's your own opinion. At least Barrak isn't telling everyone he wants to be dictator.
This report is definitely NOT objective ... it clearly shows the LIBERAL DEMOCRAT LEANING of CNN, or as Bill Cunningham calls it, the Clinton News Network. It's not the info it contains but the way it is said...
IT IS HIS MIDDLE NAME! Get over it, what's the big deal, for example:
1. William Jefferson Clinton (any flack over that- no)
2. Hillary Rodham Clinton (any flack - no)
3. Geogre Herbert Walker Bush (any flack - no)
4. Barack Hussein Obama (any flack - just don't get what the problem is - OH, unless they're trying to hide something!?!?!)
["IT IS HIS MIDDLE NAME! Get over it"-That's what the left is saying to whatever you guys are. We're SO over it. Tell your BFF, Cunningham to get over it. BTW-Hillary Clinton took all kinds of flack for using Rodham in 92. You must've been in diapers then, kiddo-Sitemonitor]
For God's sake! It was a name given to him by his parents when he was born..how many years ago??? How can he be blamed for that? And how does this have any bearing on his ability to run this country? I find this ridiculous.
What is all the discussion about? His name is Barack Hussein Obama. It would have been newsworthy if he had called him Sam or Joe. How can it be so terrible to call somebody by their given name?
People such as Cunningham are a true disgrace, but so are the likes of Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage, Coulter, etc. For the most part, they are nothing but individuals who either have more mouth than brains or who have never bothered to engage their brain, if they even realize they have one and that it should be used. They are great contributors to the discord in this country and all they do it for is the money. All that has to be done is to turn them off and stop calling in. As I like to say, this country has a "Hannity headache" because it has been consuming too much "Limbaugh lard."
As a teacher I respond to students who make fun of my names by sharing other parodies students have used, and replying "Yeah, that's what my parents named me!" That usually gets a great sympathy vote. Think about removing the "li" in Alice and speak it outloud. Then try the other spelling of Merry before it. You get the picture.

369 continued: The name may be a great advantage should Mr. O. achieve the Presidency. It can open many door in the international world because it will be a common ground upon which to build negotiations. It is a conversation STARTER, not a conversation KILLER.
I wonder if Bill Cunningham is any relation to that oh so honest ex senator Randall Cunningham. No matter. Bill is a Bill O Reiley wanna be, but since Cunningham is an Idiot, he has alot of studying to do to reach the Moron status of O Reiley. Just another right wing nazi bastard.
Man o man....we cannot have a President that will not honor our flag....big mistake
[Deleted. Abusive-Sitemonitor]
I can see why McCain did not thin using Hussein's middle name was appropriate-McCain's Middle name is Sidney. John Sidney McCain, Kinda goofy.
Cunningham is the fringe of the right and likes to bash the Democrat candidates. No where near as bad as the Bush bashing that has been going on for seven years by the left: puppet, monkey, idiot, moron, incompetent.
Then the puppet, monkey, idiot, moron, incompetent vetoes their bills, sends them back to the Hill and waits for Nancy, Harry, Hillary, Barack, John, Teddy, et.al. to rewrite it the way he asked for it in the first place.
He could care less about their name calling, stomping, crying and whining. Just stands by his convictions, gets what he wants and moves on.
Your leadership is pathetic. We won't need to use Barack's middle name to win in November. The preview on his superior "judgement" will start with the Iraq War funding debate commencing shortly, much to the surprise and absolute astonishment of Fiengold and Reid. Barack and Hillary can tell us again that the war was lost and the Surge would never, ever, work. Nice "judgment, Barack . We need a real commander-in-chief, not some Eastern Establishment Liberal golden boy
[Deleted. Off topic-Sitemonitor]
So I guess the whiners will say using Hussein is using the "Muslim Card". Think back to 1960. When you heard the name John "Fitzgerald" Kennedy, was that using the "Irish Card"?
Old adage: "Judge a man by the company he keeps." John McCain is that man. Bill Cunningham is his friend. Sleaze. Enough said.
On another issue, The name "Hussein" is probably as common to people of Obama's father's background as John or Joseph is to my Christian and Irish heritage. Whoever makes an issue of Barack Hussein Obama's name is not intelligent enough to vote, although I would stand by his right to vote. If you watched Barack Hussein Obama debate Sen Clinton in Ohio, what you saw is the most mature, genuine, self-controlled and intelligent political candidate the USA has seen in many decades. Obama should be our next President of the United States.
I say "you go Cunningham". The media is overlooking any of Obama's Past while targeting all of Clinton's faults. How is that a fair race. At we know what Clinton is all about, and she has experience, yes, I said the word. Obama has nada. I am afraid for my family if someone with the name Hussein runs this country, an thanks to Bill for saying it.

The "Right Wing" Republicans (are there any other kind?) are so scared of Barrack Obama winning the Democratic nomination for Ptresident in November they are attacking him left and right and some are even giving Hilary Clinton hints on how to beat Obama during what is left of the Primaries. They know Hillary has a lot of "baggage" and would make an easier target to beat in November. Give it up Republicans - come November 2008 your candidate (McCain) is going down!!!!! Eight years of Hell under the Republicans is enough!!!
I'm sorry, but this is politics and since the beginning of time these people use whatever they can find to make the other guys look bad, whether they deserve it or not. To call it racist against Obama is a misnomer, to call it sexist against Clinton is a misnomer, it is politics ..... By the way we have a right to know everything about these people that may affect our country.
But good Lord, listening to that loudmouth piece of shit was like attending a Nazi Party rally in Nuremburg during their rallies. Did you see the people on attendance to this clown watercarrier?
The sad thing is male Ann Coulter relishes this attention as a shill. Why must we all be reminded of these people? Lets shorten 15 minutes to 2 seconds. Go away Billy Boy.
I think he should change his name to Chad Beamimgs. I like it, I could live with that.
On the campaign trail…the candidates should accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative.
The allusions to depicting Barack Obama’s cultural heritage in the news media as unfit for the Presidency of the United States of America—is a nefarious xenophobe act of bigotry. Learn more from the author of… You’re a Worthwhile Person in More Ways than a Million!

There are a lot of theories out there that suggest McCain is trying to win both ways: get misinformation out through a surrogate and then look good by denouncing it. If that was the plan, it failed to work very well. A day later, Bill Cunningham is attacking McCain because of his repudiation of the former, and his fellow nuts on the radio are echoing his opinions. Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity have piled on in their assaults on John McCain. Unless he really wants the opprobrium of part of his base, going against Cunningham did not help McCain. We can all dive into conspiracy theory, however, and say the McCain campaign benefits among independents when obvious crackpots criticize him.
Congrats to Bill Cunningham. You have gone from a local asshole to a national asshole.
How's cousin Duke doing? Still locked up like a good conservative.
Bill's a charter member of the 'Hate Mongers' along with druggie Rush, Ratty Hanratty, Numbskull O'Reilly & knuckledragger Savage.
These clowns are going to save America like dear old Adolph save Germany.
The only difference between this crew & the KKK is they're too cheap to buy sheets!
I agree, using his middle name is perfectly acceptable, as it outs those using it as what they are, racist, jingoist, right wing wankers and makes it reveals quickily to anmy thinking person they are Bushite neoclown supporting cocksuckers.
By all means, let the towelboys keep saying it.

gumby @ 27:
It takes guts for McCain to keep embracing the world of wingnut attack dogs -- but distancing himself when it gets embarrassing?
Just like it took guts to challenge Bush on the Military Commissions Act... for a few hours, before totally caving in after he seized control of the issue and got some more Moderate Maverick Myth points?
Imagine being a victim of torture, and thus claiming the high ground on the issue... and then turning around and personally being responsible making it the law of the land.
What he does takes balls. But not guts, and certainly no heart.
@ #28:
It's not that we don't notice the Clinton thing. But that's beyond obvious they'll go that route now. They've blamed the Clintons for so many things it's nearly a form of bigotry at this point. Clinton and Obama would be best to let this sort of thing just disappear into the abyss this guy inhabits. He's irrelevant other than being a simple tool to keep perpetuating failed ideology and thinking.
The "liberal media" charge is of course intellectual garbage flaunted about as proof the cards are always stacked against them. They're projectionists; repugs play the victim card faster than anyone. The entire world is supposedly stacked against them; they have no proof of this, but that doesn't matter. They'd rather keep making money off of the idiots out there that take their verbal vomit at face value.
I'm frankly suprised this guy didn't include PBS in his slurs as the network that's "Published By SClinton".
They all read from the same talking points, some of them just shout a little louder and "mispronounciate" a few more words, but it's all the same adolesent name calling that passes as Republican social discorse.
So much for:
"RNC Orders Diversity Training for the Party of Hate."
The people gathered there to hear McCain were lovin' this guy. They were clapping and yucking up everything he said.
Can I get his number I need someone to introduce me at my divorce hearings......
It's only just begun, by November we will all know what Obama's stuffed with, and it won't be pretty. An arm here, a leg there, and pretty words everywhere, better take a picture, you are about to see the disassembling of Barak.
Cnn has invited this guy to be on one of their shows tonight.
This guy is NUTSO. How anyone can take this cat seriously is beyond me.
We all know that no matter who wins we lose right?
I mean c'mon we all know that the Rothschilds and fellow elite are the winners, right?
its Alien vs Predator here
Nope. Sorry. Ain't buying McCrabby's apology. It's just his way of trying to appeal to the Independent voters. He's flipped-flopped to many times.
Nice try though.
McCain called both Democrats “honorable Americans” and said, “I want to dissociate myself with any disparaging remarks that may have been said about them.”
Asked whether the use of Obama’s middle name — the same as former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein — is proper, McCain said: “No, it is not. Any comment that is disparaging of either Senator Clinton or Senator Obama is totally inappropriate.”
AWwwwwwww......isn't that nice? McHeadUpAssSoFarThatYouCan'tEvenSeeHisDamnShoelacesStickingOutOfHisOrifice
why are we chastising someone because of what his mother/father named him? He did not pick his middle name for God's sake!
What a joke this article is. It is obvious that whoever wrtoe it is a liberal hack and does not do the proper research. No surprise there. I guess it is an attck now, whrn you call a candidate for president by his full name. Obama is going to wish that was all he was being attacked for during the real campaign. He has alot to hide. Ever meet someone like him? Very likeable. Very proper. Then you find out your daughter is knocked up and the car is missing. I know the type.
McCain is becoming more and more like Hillary--bipolar. He's good cop one day, bad cop the next. If you vote for McCain (or Hillary) which one will you get?
Mr. Amato left the best answer out of his list of choices....It's stupid.

what is wrong with this picture ? isn't that obama hussein's nane? i do not know who cunningham is, but, i did not see the outrage,,, when hillary was called a bitch.
but she is not made of glass, like hussein is. boy do we need her.
my advice is, if they can't take the heat, they should get off the kitchen.
him and his stupid wife should go back where they belong and crawl back under a rock
i can not stand it if you do not agree with the snake, you are a racist,
I know one is Democrate and the other is Republican, but I have to say I think that both Mccain and Obama would make fine presidents. Both could do great things for our country. I am fully for a women president, but I have to agree with Mccain's supporter. Hillary Clinton is a major bitch!
Ok Cunningham is a nutcase BUT Obama's middle name IS Hussein, and his father is a Muslim. Why is this being so downplayed by the Media???
Is he/the media ashamed of it?? Are his roots intentionally being hidden from the Public.
Many people made a big deal over Romney's religion...so???
And is Cunningham worse than Farrakhan, a supporter of Obama? I think not. That being said I have nothing against Obama as a person, and his color is irrelevant to me, but his lack of experience is a problem for me

"Why would any American want a president with the name of Hussein Obama. Hussein Obama is a double wammy of our 2 worst enimies for the axis of evil"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
You stupid fucking idiot, go waterboard yourself!!!
As-Salaam-Alaikum. Imam Wallace Deen Muhammad in a khubath (Lecture) given over thirty (30)yrs. ago, referring to the so-called African Americans as Joseph' Coat of many colors, that the whole world can find their likeness in us. The whole world can be seen in us.
Obama is reflective universally also as Joseph' Coat of many colors. The people in the world are finding in him their likeness, and here not only physically but in the spirit of humanity which is what Joseph' Coat represented. That one would come into government to represent the human aspirations, the human concerns and human sentiment and stand for justice with the people.
He is loved in Africa. He is loved in Europe and in the Middle East, etc. Each people takes from him that part which belongs to them and he (Obama) puts it together as the concern of one family, The Human Family and perhaps for the first time in this countries history there will be a Head Of State whose leadership will be for the people and of the people in truth and in spirit. As-Salaam-Alaikum.

You could also try using that grey matter inside your nugget for a change and get educated, which means turing off FOX Noise and your local AM radio blowhards, in addition to actually spending some of your time actually READING the posts on sites like these so you can be enlightened to how the Republican Party is rampant with immorality, corruption, and fealty to neoconservative criminals who are likely the worst administration in the history of the United States.
Old ass McCain is as malleable in this regard as any Republicans.
He will make sure the military industrial complex will not be interrupted of its cash flow, as much so as the Bushies, as well as making sure more and more Americans are killed in wars we start and perpetuate all over.
No wonder the world hates us, why shouldnt they? I remember being told how evil the Soviets were for being in Afghanistan. The only thing different about Iraq today is new, more deadly weapons.

"I was well aware of everyone else's opinion and everyone else's second guessing, but my faith protected me and gave me the space and the time to really come to an understanding of what was right for me and my family"on Christian Broadcasting Network's "700 Club" Hillary talks about how faith had helped her through Bill's infidelities.
this is only going to get worse. once it becomes obvious that obama will win,the shit that will come from the right will become beyond deplorable and the msm will sit back and allow it to happen. btw, fuck mccain, that was all a set up.
Yes! As long as these fuckin pigs out into the light, Obama will be riding high.
And McCain....Maverick my ass. He's a sorry old pandering fool.
wouldn't McCain's statement have had more "straight talk" meaning if he said it when he took the stage immediately after the introduction.
I think McCain has a decent human being in there somewhere, but he aligned himself with the party of evil, which was the worst mistake he ever made.
pissed off patricia @ 40:
The amazing thing is how these people don't see how their intellect is disparaged by people like Cunningham; how people like him basically are calling his audience a bunch of bafoons. Then again, if after 8 years you're still a republican.......
I imagine we'll be seeing alot of this, probably on both sides, this Fall: each candidate trying to stay on the "high road" as they disavow the mudslinging and pure BS from their subordinates and other shills.
Until and unless proven otherwise, I think that McCain met the definition of "Class"
inasmuch as he did the right thing; distancing himself from that wingnut Cunningham. He should be admired for his position and we can only hope that
his promise that "this will not happen again" will be factual; to the extent he
can control idiotic people like Cunningham.
wow mccain almost looked like a stand up guy....almost. its funny, the louder these apologist wastofspaceicons bark, the more ignorant they, their ideals, and their party expose themselves to be.
This is why John McCain is still a Maverick and why republicans will hate him for it in November. Any other republican would of gave some half ass remark and brushed off the comments. McCain stood up and refuted those comments, that took a lot of guts knowing that he's going to get bashed for it from the right tomorrow.
John McCain, one of the few Repubs that I won't say I like, but I won't say I hate him either.
Mr. Amato - When will you post a positive story about Obama?
Expect more of this, and other blatant attempts to "ni@@erize" Obama as November draws near. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised to see GOP speakers wearing white robes and pointy hoods to show up in September.
No way that was a set-up.
Come on, folks. If you want to be listened to when it matters, don't attack everything just out of habit.
I am far from a McCain fan (and growing even less so by the day) and all my donations go to Obama.
But give credit where it is due... it is important that the kind of bile that Cunningham spews is reputiated publicly... something the current administration doesn't do. McCain went a few steps farther than he had to, and I think it behooves us all to assume he was genuine. Because we WANT the idiots like Cunningham marginalized.
McCain went further and said that it would not happen again. So, I'm willing to take him up on that and see if he keeps his word.
There will be all sorts of thrid-party ugliness in the upcoming election, swift boat jerks, etc... but I really believe that McCain and Obama are going to run the cleanest presidential campaign we've seen. I think these two actually do have some mutal respect.
(by the by, McCain seems far more genuine in his repudiation of these kind of tactics than, say, Hillary's campaign does... just saying...)
Aaargh! Stop with all the McCain praise, commenters!
Why do you think they'd have an a**hole like Cunningham opening for him? Because he's the standard bearer for that same brand. Have we suddenly forgotten what that brand is?
Consider how loyal McCain stayed to that brand as it trashed him and his family, started a disastrous war of whim, and rallied around torture and the suspension of habeas corpus. He is not a gentleman.
#42 hit it dead on !!!!
This is only the beginning !!! Should have nominated Edwards or Clinton. Both have been thoroughly vetted !!!
Obama is the new McGovern ant-war candidate !!! Remember what happened to McGovern in 72 ??
Anyone familiar with what happened to Harold Ford ? (and his name was more american than indiana Jones . wait 'till they swift boat Obama's name)
remember California Governor race in early 80s? Black candidate Tom Bradley? Ahead in polls till the last day and got creamed. They call the BRADLEY EFFECT !!
Dems should have nominated Edwards or Hillary !!!
56: Doggie bobo: I think that McCain met the definition of “Class”
inasmuch as he did the right thing; distancing himself from that wingnut Cunningham
Go read the post at my place and see if you still feel the same way. The McCain camp invited Cunningham, and if they didn't know that's what they were getting thy're idiots. McCain wants to have others do his dirty work and then act shocked that it happened.

Slabo @ 63:
Dems haven't nominated either one yet, if you hadn't noticed...
I think the "Festival of Ignorance" tag Lee Camp gave to Fux should be extended to the entire repug crime gang.
The party of hate and lies. When is the last time you saw a major Democratic national contender introduced by such a pathetic, hate filled, sneering snarling, innuendo throwing clown?
This jerk is simply that...a jerk. And all the chucklers and amused idiots in the background are true die hard repug scum as well. This is who they are.
And as for mccain, he's a pussy, weak, wimp. Hasn't got the balls to put a stop to it, but he slips in his "I apologize for him" bullshit at the end after all is said and done.
This is how the repug machine works. Lie, distort, spin and say ANYTHING. There will be enough idiots to believe it, even though the whole world of educated and knowledgeable people know it's a lie.
My friends, please welcome Mr Cunningham. My friends.
Ohdave@64: You are entitled to your view/opinion; just as I am to mine.
How do you know McCain "faked shock"? You can be bitter/angry/disgusted
as much as you want, but don't try and feed me your biased/slanted bag
of BS.
Vicious is a little over the top, pathetic is more apropriate.
Cunnnigham - What an absolute TOTAL DICK. I just hate those loudmouthed LITTLE TWERPS who hide behind large crowds and big hairdoo's as they spew their bigoted rhetoric about things they know NOTHING about.

Anne, Barach and Michelle are both extremely well educated, graduating from top schools in this country, both from Harvard Law, and they have served the people. Compare that to the history of G.W. Bush. I'm voting for Barach. I'm a 67-year old white male. I'm also a Harvard Law graduate but that has nothing to do with my decision. I'd vote for Barach if he had gone to the University of Texas Law School as well. Well, just because I'm a 6th generation Texan doesn't factor into the decision either.
