John McCain won't let the war stop <i>him</i> from golfing

Given the hysterical comments left on the John McCain Store page, perhaps the Arizona Senator would be wise to take a page from George Bush's playbook.
John Cole has them all, but here's a taste. You are hereby advised to put down any liquids you may be consuming:
For more fun in the John McCain store, see here as well.

I'm so glad you posted this. I saw it yesterday and laughed till I cried reading the comments at that site.
I can't believe the McCain site leaves them up, but I sure am glad they do.
lmfao!!!!
I think they've taken the comments down cause I don't see them.
The nautical flags bit John Cole has is great
but actually this is a great idea .. except I'd just take a sharpie to a tennis ball, baseball, softball, etc. and write McCain or actually Bush's name on it and then wack it with something .... great stress reliever.
I just won't pay JSM's campaign for the priviledge
HA!
Oh the comments were so funny. Guys talking about getting McCain's (golf) balls and saying all sorts of things that they did or were going to do with them.. There were comments about the little sack the balls came in to. There were some funny as hell and great creative minds displayed in those comments.
Yeah, I can't find the comments on the McCain site, either, how sad. Ya know, Obama's camp sent me a FREE bumpersticker (even before I donated), yet McCain wants to charge $5.00. Isn't that reason enough to vote for Obama?
Those aren't McCain's balls. His have got to be shriveled and discolored. Those aren't even a good imitation. What a rip-off!
I almost spit my coffee when I read the one about the official lieberman ball washer.
BTW, someone must have gotten a clue, they've taken the comments off line.
Yellow Elephant Safari @ 8:
You were warned.
Heh heh, ball washer.
My favorite was the one about the "Senator" saying the balls were modeled after his own...and could knock out a terrorist....classic
Now that I think of it, I'd love to see McGrumpy playing golf. It must be tough for him to hit the ball with those tiny, little T. Rex arms of his.
Hey, what happened? Just showed up here and all my info was gone. The stuff like my name, email address and website address. Whoever took down those comments at McCain's site must have grabbed my info too.
On tv they are talking about a decision handed down this morning by the supreme court and they sided with the gitmo detainees regarding their trials.
pissed off patricia @ 13:
Yeah, they said the detainees have constitutional rights. Too bad that Bush has shredded it.
Yellow Elephant Safari @ 11:
Funny you should mention that. While staying at the Hanoi Hilton (or wherever it was), his arms got injured so that he can not raise his hands above his shoulders (I remember reading somewhere that Cindy has to comb his hair because he can't). If this is the case, the only type of golf he can play is miniature golf because in order to drive the ball from the tee or fairway, you have to swing your arms all the way.
That being said, this is mere catering to those who do play golf, which the last time I checked was sort of an elitist sport. So much for caring about "the little people".
The Supreme Court has given the detainees the right to challenge their case in civilian courts. It was a 5 to 4 decision. Doesn't this override anything bush has said?
Blue Buddha @ 15:
Oscar Wilde once called fox hunting "The unspeakable in pursuit of the inedible". I have often co-opted that quote in reference to golf.
Of course, some might call ME an elitist just for knowing that Oscar Wilde made that statement.
pissed off patricia @ 16:
Everyting he's said.
McCain ice scraper?
The one I like is the McCain door mat. Someone should buy Obama one of these so he can practice wiping his feet all over McCain.

What the hell is wrong with this site?
All there is is McCain this, Bush that, O'Reilly this, Matthews that...
WHAT ABOUT PELOSI AND REID? You know, the democrats that the country elected to STOP Bush? And what do they do? Pelosi for example has threatened John Conyers with dismissal if he goes ahead and starts hearings on Kucinich's articles of impeachment against Bush! WTF?!?! Crooks and Liars, where the hell is the strong crooks and liars criticism on that? What the hell is the matter with you? Ever heard of a thing called "tough love"? It's called holding people accountable, and NOWHERE do I see ANYTHING about how Pelosi is PROTECTING Bush from being given justice!!!!!
HEEELLLLOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Anyone out there in flaming liberal land? Our country is being gutted from the inside out, and NOBODY is saying anything to stop it! Why? Because the people who are committing the crimes have the same "D" letter behind their name so they are off limits? WTF?
This site needs some SERIOUS attitude adjustments, because it is losing cred FAST...
Just came from the site, the posts are still there, you just have to sign up with some phony name to get in to view them. It's worth the look.
What is really worth a look is to go there (mccains site) and then go to Obamas site.
Mccains is pathetic, it looks like he had some grade school kids design it and it doesn't work too well. But the real humor, I agree, is in the comment sections.
The "Coalitions Apparel" is classic. I do see that the "Homosexuals for McCain" stickers and buttons are curiously missing (Must be on backorder). I cannot think of anything more delightfully fitting than buying one of these for every single person who is voting for this cock nozzle in November:
Fantasical!
I am inspired to start printing up my "Working Class Honkeys for Obama" shirts and stickers right now!
TruePatriot @ 20:
Maybe you could post a news link so we could verify the facts.
Ron @ 18:
Thanks! That's what I thought but I wanted to be sure.
Think I'll order one of those McCain night stand false teeth cups.
"Veto my beer?"
Out of my cold, dead hand.
TruePatriot @ 20:
Could you provide links?
comedy gold.
Breaking news! Al qaeda has acquired a weather control weapon from Iran causing tonadoes to rip through America. Not.
I think I just crashed the balloon-juice site by posting a comment. Beware of falling SQL Exceptions.
I'm saving my gas money for the official McCain Pharmaceutical Lock Box...it has secret compartments for Vicodine and Percocet .
$200 for a bad pin. that's not change you can believe in... that's hundreds of dollars to symbolize something you kind of hope doesn't suck as bad as the guy before him.
Yellow Elephant Safari @ 8:
So obvious, but so ingenious! I'm glad I heeded the warning about drinking and reading.
I also loved the posts that delicately point out the "elite" nature of golf. In this case, of course, elite doesn't mean "better or more capable," but "douchebag."
I wonder if the ball sack in the kit is extra wrinkly and low-hanging?
PS... i hope they print these AS they are ordered, but if not there will be enough left over metal that we can finally send some armor to the troops!

Hope they are printing this AS they are ordered, but if not we'll have enough left over metal to finally send some armor to the troops.
Very LOL-worthy, some of the posts people were able to make before the comments were removed. :D Wonder if when they put anything else out they'll have to make sure they don't have the same situation(least I hope not).
On an off-topic note, Barack Obama's to appear in Kaukauna, Wis today around noon Central time, and apparently WBAY, one of the local tv stations in Green Bay will have live streaming coverage, if anyone wanted to see his speech.

Still waiting for your citations.

Easy there....sometimes comic relief is a good thing...can't be serious 24/7...gotta take a break now and then.
Read what our good friends in New Zealand think about John McCains Lies.
Obama’s Readiness to Talk To America’s Enemies

This is just a sample of the news that can be found on Watching America a compilation of news stories from around the world about the USA translated into English.
Read, Gain Knowledge, Beat McCain and his Lie Machine.
Obama for President!
Yellow Elephant Safari @ 35:
he was referring to an old statement she made back in office but has since softened on.
♠Bangkok-Bob♠ in Chiang Mai @ 38:
man i want to see the Comments/Reviews that were left ....bummer
TruePatriot @ 20:
You know something goof, I think "red state" is full of shit too.... that's why I never go there. Why are you here? That's OK, don't answer. Elitist turd.
♠Bangkok-Bob♠ in Chiang Mai @ 38:
Yes, I know. It was back in August '07 in fact. I was just wondering in Trollboy @20 had anything more recent to add to the dialog. Or, is that too "flaming liberal"ish of me to ask.
Yellow Elephant Safari @ 42:
Well, he's a TROLL, thats what they do. Notice he is using the latest FOX news talking points, like the "D" thing.
Far Left&Far Left @ 41:
McCain doesn't even play golf, so the title of this thread is erroneous.
And if you think golf is elitist, you don't know the game.
Apparently Barack Obama doesn't think it's elitist. Or if he does, he plays it anyway, just the weekend after last when he secured the Dem nomination.
Apparently though, all it would take for him to swear it off forever is someone criticizing him for playing.
Items the McSame Store should stock.
Tooth yellowing paste to shake off any dentil elitist accusations.
The POW blindfold with handy Velcro tabs and completely reversible.
Hinged Golf Club Shaft for those with a limited swing.
Golf Score Card pencils with erasers.
TruePatriot @ 20:
No it isn't. You're just all worked up.
I agree with your comments about Pelosi, as I raised this issue a few days ago here. But the ranting way you delivered your message just doesn't fly.
And this McSame story is hilarious. Laughing = good.
dennis @ 44:
Golf. Is not elitist.
What is that, a 'straw man'? Are we all supposed to attack golf, or even you, now? Seems to me that one poster called the other an elitist, with golf nowhere in sight. I don't know, dennis: sometimes it seems like you are just picking fights. It's a shame.
TruePatriot @ 20:
you dont READ the comments on this site do you ?
try it sometime.
pretty elightening.
Golf is about as interesting as McCain's speeches...
Bonks@48-
That being said, this is mere catering to those who do play golf, which the last time I checked was sort of an elitist sport. So much for caring about “the little people”.
(Blue Buddha@15)
And then you, Bonkers, from the link above, from the Bush thread previously, when Bush said he had given up the game.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but:
Piece. Of. Shit.
This stack of turds thinks that giving up golf is a A) a worthy sacrifice in a time of war and B) something he should actually express OUT LOUD and they want to label Obama as the elitist? The mind boggles.
Bonkers Hussein@49.
So, no, it wasn't a straw man argument on my part. And the golf as an elitist, largely Republican meme is not foreign here.
How many times has Barry been to Iraq ???
Oh Jeeze we're in a war ??? Let's not play golf....um....
I just submitted a comment to granpa's site saying that I came to the site looking for the golf gear product reviews. I added that what I had about the gear was so hilarious that I wanted to see more. Alas, golf gear category has vanished.
I loved Cole's post the first time, and I'm still laughing.
There were a lot more of these, for every product on the site. It's a shame someone didn't archive the whole thing. Someone had something about "I'd much rather have these golf balls than college tuition once I get back from Iraq," and there was a t-shirt that said "Integrity": "What a great deal for Integrity. I'm surprised John McCain was willing to sell his for such a low price."
This election might just be a whole lot of fun.
