Jul 19, 2008 - The reporter had to get a few compliments for McCain in there, didn't he? And make it sound like Obama was going to the dangerous parts of Afghanistan purely as a political stunt - essentially pushing McCain's exact argument about it being a photo op. The American media: truly the most vile band of fucks in the world. Thank them for everything that's happened during Bush's presidency: he would never have been elected without their help.

Jul 19, 2008 - "Some argue that..." "The perception is that..." Fucking CNN

youngflymista Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - Yeah why the hell are they talking about McCain. Wow they are really trying to shape perception.

Jul 20, 2008 - American media sucks.

ifaf23 Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - Obama is more likely to be shot in israel then Iraq or Afghanistan. I'm telling you mossad wants him dead

Hippystomper Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - I'm glad Obama finally made it back home. When is he returning to the U.S.?

HailTheSun Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - Nothing seems more genuine than flying with 40 reporters to meet the soldiers. McCain is followed by a single reporter, no surprise there. Obama the photo-op queen.

msemerson Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - Obama in '08!

FreshCliches Says:

Jul 21, 2008 - Funny, I recall all three major networks with footage of McCain on his last trip. Remember? No? Selective memory?

FreshCliches Says:

Jul 21, 2008 - Don't worry - he'll be back in time to mop the floor with Grandpa Cranky in November.

HailTheSun Says:

Jul 21, 2008 - McCain does not fly with reporters, if they want to follow him at their own expense they are free to do so. Obama's plane carries 40 reporters to play the photo-op game in his terms everywhere he goes. That's quite a difference. Now, why don't you go leaving mutilated rabbits behind people's doors, beating up people and slashing their car tires like oh so many crazy Obamabots are doing. You're out of control.

FreshCliches Says:

Jul 21, 2008 - When McCain made his April Fools Day stroll through the Baghdad markets, he was accompanied with a detail of 100 soldiers, THREE Blackhawk helicopters, and two Apache gunships, wearing a flak jacket. (That's when he declared the streets of Baghdad "safe".) In other words: your tax dollars at work. So much for the party of "small government". Obama can afford a private jet, paid with PRIVATE, record-setting campaign contributions. To paraphrase Reagan, "he paid for that microphone". Jealous?

FreshCliches Says:

Jul 21, 2008 - It's a darn shame that McCain can't stir up the matching funds OR excitement as your next POTUS, isn't it? So, why don't YOU go back to calling your wife a "cunt" and a "trollop", like that one GOP candidate does. What's his name again? McCain: Out of Touch. Out of Control. Out.

HailTheSun Says:

Jul 21, 2008 - Since when did this conversation turn into one about money? Typical Obamabot debate.. Ain't it cute how you're putting emphasis on the fact Obama flipflopped on public financing. All of the sudden it's a GREAT thing. Again, typical Obamabot behaviour. Our god does no mistakes, even if he's contradicting himself. It's also quite cute how you're presenting that "cunt" rumour as if it was a fact. How about a link? Didn't think so. Makes the rumours of Obama being a terrorist sound credible..

FreshCliches Says:

Jul 21, 2008 - PUH-LEEZE. You accuse me of "typical debate", while you NEGLECT to see your initiation of "mutilated rabbits", etc. Nice try, Skippy. You want citations? Here you go: watch?v=n6XRCex-bLc - notice how he does NOT deny, just dismisses the question. And the question was asked by a Baptist minister! Drudge (.) com slash archive slash 106692/ author dash mccain dash, called dash wife dash c; you should be able to build the link from this - remove the comma. It cites the WITNESSES.

FreshCliches Says:

Jul 21, 2008 - When did this turn into a conversation about money? When you cried like an infant about how McCain doesn't have the press entourage. DUH. Campaigning costs money. Meanwhile, where's your response to my citation that McCain received press coverage when he was in Baghdad? Oh, that's right. You don't have one. And you want flip-flops? Here are a sampling from McCain: Gay Marriage 1st Term Balanced Budget Social Security Privatization Telecom Immunity Defense Spending Dismissed.

HailTheSun Says:

Jul 21, 2008 - That's your evidence? "A random website says so" From now on I will present all the Larry Sinclair/Whitey-tape/Muslim terrorist -stories as facts because some random website has quoted *caps lock on* WITNESSES *caps lock off* So, Obama's not even American.

HailTheSun Says:

Jul 21, 2008 - I don't know where you're pulling your figures from but McCain and the republicans have raised more money than Obama & DNC. You should know, the figures were on Obama's site last week when he begged for people's money 'cause they were being outraised 3 to one. The fact Obama has press entourage is a different issue. Obama's whole career is nothing but one big photo-op. No need to do anything when you just look like you're doing something. Fortunately others have more class.

FreshCliches Says:

Jul 21, 2008 - Don't you know how to use, as the President would say, The Google? I simply entered "June McCain campaign fundraising", and voila!! I see that $22M is reported. The reports also state that it's his BEST month of fundraising. Best. Month. EVER. Then - and here's the difficult part for you - I *replace* "McCain" with "Obama", press "Enter", and voila! I see that $52M has been raised...close, but not his best month of $55M in February. From where I sit, you're looking pretty stupid.

FreshCliches Says:

Jul 21, 2008 - OK, it's remedial research, and I see that you're lacking. Your word of the day is: corroboration. Again, simply use "The Google", and you'll see that my "random" website was one of many. The WITNESSES are the key to corroboration, not the number of websites. You asked for "a link". I provided two. To respond with "that's all you got?" is disingenuous. It's like the meme of "What does Obama stand for? Nobody knows!" Well, go do your homework. I'm not responsible for your ignorance.

HailTheSun Says:

Jul 21, 2008 - Obama is a muslim terrorist, google it if you don't believe me. There's WITNESSES! I'm not responsible for your ignorance.

FreshCliches Says:

Jul 21, 2008 - And what's Your Word Of The Day again?

muis63 Says:

Jul 22, 2008 - McCain and his party are the responsibles for the current pitiful U.S. financial and social situation. Why would any sound American mind want this situation to continue?

blueguise23 Says:

Jul 23, 2008 - John "Dwarf Arms" McCain will be worse than Bush. A no one thought it was possible. He is dumb, more evil, a war-mongerer and even old! He only knows about WAR and he is so dumb he thinks this is all he needs to know to win! NO UGLY OLD DWARFS IN THE WHITE HOUSE! Obama '08!
