This is for you, Joe.

What if this was Obama instead of McCain? Would people cry foul and racism for making fun of him? The comments I have read so far goes to show how for one side it is ok, but for the other side it would be called racism, hate mongering, etc...

Please correct me if I am wrong and people would be laughing and making fun of Obama ON THIS SITE, if he were caught in the same position or would they go to the right wing sites and type, foul, crude, racism, etc...

This is absolutely in poor taste

mikeinmd's picture

The point is that it WAS McCain, not Obama. Obama doesn't do this crap, Obama is dignified and Presidential. McCain is a 10 year old boy inside, and sometimes it has to come out.

John's picture

The question is though, what if Obama was caught in this act and right wing blogs posted a picture and comments as I see posting here, would they be called racist? That is the question.

to both borrow from you mike and to paraphrase Drew Carey:

John McCain, somewhere there is a 10 year old boy inside him...and it's probably giving him indigestion...

Kathy Smith's picture

But go look at Redstate or some other place where they are accusing Obama of things no one would joke about. And notice that no one here is suggesting violence against Obama.

Life is all politically correct these days, but making fun of the opposing candidate has been going on since John Adam's campaign. You could check it out.

Kathy Smith's picture

no one is suggesting violence against McCain here. Dems don't get off on that stuff quite as much as the opposition seems to.

Liberalicious's picture

If it WAS Obama, it would be fair game. But, go on, keep whining. That IS all you can do, cry and pee and moan. Every comment you make is just pathetic. Go home to mommy crybaby and change your very smelly diapers, they are pretty rank. That aside, maybe no one said this is a neutral site, but you'd only be happy if everything was Pro-McCain. Maybe you'd prefer the "fair and balanced" Fox News web site. Please go their where your pathetic mewling and whining will be appreciated.

John's picture

I am sure you meant to say that this is not a neutral site, are there any really good neutral sites where there is actually video, postings, rants, and blogs of both sides?

Liberalicious's picture

Apparently, as well as being stupid, you can NOT read. I said, that NO ONE said this is a neutral site, meaning that it is NOT a neutral site. Can you comprehend that? Go search your self for a place where you can feel safe and secure in your whining. And don't presume to tell ME what I mean, when you so obviously get the facts wrong each time.

John's picture

Obviously when you begin to use name calling etc.. you sir, obviously lack intelligence. I have not and would not call you stupid, stick to points and try to be polite :)

Also, I presumed nothing, My opinion was that it was meant another way.

so much angst, geez.

Liberalicious's picture

So when you whine and you're called on it you play the victim. You cannot admit any mistakes either. I was totally clear in my statement and you got it wrong. Also typical. Why are you here? For self-abuse? You've had no points, and if i hurt you're itty bitty baby feelings, well, I'm sorry you feel that way. Angst? You dear sir reek of it, with you're incessant whining and playing the role of the victim. Please take it elsewhere you bore me now. Although, thank you for letting me know I got so thoroughly under your skin. Now you know how it feels.

Nicole's picture

So let’s talk about poor taste -- this is an actual picture of McCain, not doctored not photoshopped, behaving in a childish, immature way for the entire world to see. This was the way he chose to behave in the final debate, what many people were saying would make or break his candidacy. The fact is he went out of his way to make a fool of himself.

Now -- let’s go to the Sacramento County Republican web site. Bumper stickers linking Obama and Osama Bin Laden, and one that says waterboard Barack Obama and a fake ten dollar bill showing Barack as a donkey, surround by fried chicken, ribs and watermelon.
http://crooksandliars.com/john-amato/waterboa...

You tell me which is in poor taste.

And in aswer to yoru question, I think most people on this website would be pissed that our presidential candidate would make such a fool of himself in front of the country.

problem with the right right now is they dont have material like this. you cant make this stuff up. what the right does is pohotoshop and lie. we, otoh, just wait for material from the mccain campaign and the republicans to make fun of. there's plenty going around. "absurd republicans" has become redundant.

First of all I have never seen anyone do this is a public venue. I don't think Obama would be doing this. Other than the traditional greeting sign among the Tibetians, no one I know of does the tongue thing.

Most characteristic TIC associated with TARDIVE DYSKINESIA is the INVOLUNTARY TONGUE THRUST. Other associated TICs: EXCESSIVE RAPID BLINKING and JAW GRIMACE. It is UNMISTAKABLE and IRREVERSIBLE.

Many patients develop some side effects on these medications. Sometimes called extrapyramidal side effects, the milder symptoms also include:
Akathisia - a subjective feeling of restlessness with a compulsive desire to move the legs or walk around.

McCain Attempted Suicide Twice, But Won't Release His Mental Health Records During This Campaign
http://wizbangblue.com/2008/08/05/mccain-atte...
Posted by Paul Hooson
Published: Aug 5, 08 04:46 PM

The John McCain Campaign is hoping to ride the shallow message of don't vote for Barack Obama because he's young and popular all the way to the White House.
But this inch deep and very shallow campaign is also concealing some huge vulnerabilities of John McCain. Buried in the 1500 pages of medical records released by the McCain Campaign is information that McCain attempted suicide twice, yet his campaign won't release his full mental health records to the public.

This is a serious issue that the McCain Campaign hopes to skirt; his full mental health records after years of physical and psychological abuse by his North Vietnamese captors and whether McCain is currently receiving any psychiatric care or medications.
If you want to make John McCain go ballistic, just suggest to him that his campaign should release his full mental health as well as medical records..."" cont ...

Let's GO for this: demand release of McCain's full mental health as well as medical records. Go viral for MSMs to be pressed to demand this.

just think. we wouldn't be worrying about that hateful turd if he got the medical attention he needs.

:<[)

Ex-Canuck's picture

Are these 1500 pages of medical records available to the public? If so, can you provide a link.

If yours is a serious post, this is a very serious matter that should be looked into. We cannot have another mentally incompetent person in the WH. We already know what that can bring - e.g., Nixon, Bush lite, etc.

Kathy Smith's picture

that the 72 year old candidate will NOT release his medical history. He allowed 3 reporters a couple of hours to examine his medical record. The only doctor among them was Dr. Gupta of CNN. He said that the reporters were not allowed to take notes or ask questions, that the pages weren't numbered (therefore, there was no way to tell if these were complete records.)

The strange movements, tics,etc. and possibly hidden health problems of a 4 time camcer patient who endured mental and physical torture for 2.5 years makes the inexperience and other negative aspects of his running mate pretty troubling.

masha's picture

AND, this was only for the last eight years. his records before that have yet to be released.

Oh yes, that picture you are whining about is an actual unretouched pic from the debate. It IS taken out of context, but you can't deny McCain looks like a total ass in it. But don't let me keep you, you have more trolling and peeing in your pants to do.

.. or "terrorist" or "Vietnamese baby killer," (he dropped bombs in Vietnam before his capture) or any of the other equivalents of comments made at McCain or Palin rallies. When people started to boo McCain at an Obama rally, Obama quickly said, "No, no" and said that kind of reaction was inappropriate, quieting his audience. As for the picture, I am sure if Obama looked less than dignified, it would be all over the extreme right Web sites, with vitriolic comments to match. As it is, I think it's sad McCain was unable to keep his dignity.

please notify kurtz of your issues.

Friday, October 17, 2008; Page A24

THE NOMINATING process this year produced two unusually talented and qualified presidential candidates. There are few public figures we have respected more over the years than Sen. John McCain. Yet it is without ambivalence that we endorse Sen. Barack Obama for president.

The choice is made easy in part by Mr. McCain's disappointing campaign, above all his irresponsible selection of a running mate who is not ready to be president. It is made easy in larger part, though, because of our admiration for Mr. Obama and the impressive qualities he has shown during this long race. Yes, we have reservations and concerns, almost inevitably, given Mr. Obama's relatively brief experience in national politics. But we also have enormous hopes.
