The Daily Show exposed the McCain hypocrisy in full detail. Their recent attack ads against Obama that included Paris Hilton might make the Hiltons a little unhappy since they donated the max to McCain's camp. Attacking their daughter wasn't so nice. Then Stewart takes a look at all the uppity remarks that McCain has made about the McCain Presidency.

It's another brilliant segment on the election. The GOP knows that anything they float out there will be debated by the media like "Is Obama arrogant?"and they will fail to look at McCain's own arrogant behavior when Obama hasn't actually been arrogant.

WTF?!? Are there issues in this election?

I mean besides an extra half hour fur lunch...

This needs to be seen. By all. Everywhere. ASAP. But I am not holding hopes the "liberal media" will cover it. /snark

This only shows the fear the MSM has if Obama becomes President. He might actually reinstate regulation of the FCC and anytime remarks and failure to report real news gets broadcast, they might either get hit with massive fines or actually get their licence to operate yanked.

Works for me.

What are the Hilton's gonna do to mccain

Make him appear in Paris's next internet video?

That would be hott.

I am so very disappointed in John McCain and all his supporters. I'm disappointed in America and I am not ashamed to say that we have lost our way. This entire country is arrogant beyond belief and the self-importance we exude is disturbing. American's are selfish, greedy and small minded.

Shame on all of us and shame on those who rule our governments. What a complete letdown this entire American experience has become.

Maybe everyone in the left blogosphere should print out a picture of McCrazy and Ms. Hilton with "JOHN MCCAIN IN CELEBRITY PORN SHOCKER" -- or something clever -- printed in huge lettering across the bottom, and staple the copies to every telephone pole in America. Hey, they lie... why not use their tactics against them?

Would it be such a stretch for the Obama media peeps to make a cheap ad, either for television or the intenet, ridiculing McCain with footage featuring both him and Britney Spears praising Bush, and noting his ties to the Hiltons?

If it is, then this race is going to the wire.

One of the thousands of conventional wisdom's that are not true that I wish we could settle once and for all is the idea that you can increase revenue by lowering taxes on the top 50%. That will not work, it has never worked and will never work. I am really sick of hearing the Fascists say  that crap every election cycle. I am also sick of the media just letting them get away of saying it like it's true.

Jon Stewart also had a great piece earlier this week: TDS showed a clip of Wolf Blitzer saying Monica Goodling "may" have broken the law by just hiring Republicans to work in the Justice Department. Stewart pointed out that it wasn't "may" have broken the law: she did break the law.

I don't know why the MSM is so timid.

Unbelievable how stupid this election can quickly become with the help of the "media."

Just turn off your god damn teevee's out there. This country is so thick in the skull when it comes to TeeVee. Just because something is on tv, doesn't make it true, and doesn't make it honest. I just wish this election would stay on the issues instead of floating to US weekly-type gossip.

I used to be an AZ resident and respected McCain once upon a time. He has become so so low and NO SUBSTANCE any more. If we get him, this country is going to really see what it means to take a dive. This man has no interest in the future. He's so god damn old -- why would he? Most old people don't give a flying fuck about the next generation. So it's very telling that this guy is way up there and has no plans for how to fix problems that are going to send us into some very difficult times in the very near future.

Americans are so stupid.

Shame on all of us and shame on those who rule our governments. What a complete letdown this entire American experience has become."

Unfortunaltey for the rest of us, they are the more powerful half. The corporate controlled and funded few who control the moronic half. Those of us with any brains, education, common sense, faith, hope and charity etc are frowned upon. It's all about the money baby, the rest of you get f*^% out of the way.

And nobody understands the value of hard work and success than a chronic fuck-up who spent his entire adult life riding on his father's coattails, and Grampa McCurved-Talk who married his way into wealth. Which of the two candidates got where he is today through hard work and success, again? Which of the two candidates is ready to raise his own taxes so that YOU can get a tax break?

Even if there was no Democrat running for President, I'd vote for Ralph Nader ahead of Cynthia McKinney... I'm sure almost everyone here would. So a vote for McKiney would still be a wasted vote that would contribute to putting another anti-choice neocon lunatic in the White House with a couple of Supreme Court Justices to appoint. But you go ahead.

The clutching to the bibles and guns must be cutting of the blood circulation to your brain, the last thing I am is a dem. Though that you attempt to incite the typically ignorant american understanding (or lack there of) of socialism and attribute that to a americon democratic ideal is hilarious. With people like you about it's easy to see why the US ranks the lowest in the western world in education and why the country is the laughing stock of the world.

GOP what a hypocrite, much like all Repukes. What about all that corporate welfare. You Repukes really talk a good show about the open market, but as soon as the banks and corporations get their ass in trouble the gov't bails them out. And that is a shitload more welfare cost than what is distributed to those in need.

And just in case you think I'm all about welfare let me tell you, I and my wife have worked all our lives. From mid teens to our retirement and I don't sweat the taxes because that's the way the world should work. It's not just I've got mine Jack the rest of you f*^^off, which is the Repuke mantra.
