McCain Camp Re-Thinking Decision to Not Use Rev. Wright as ‘Wedge’ in Attacks on Obama

Re:sisterdearest09
"Folks, these are the statements Congressman Lewis made (below). In no way does he say "McCain & Palin are like George Wallace"."
Then she says,
"Lewis didn't accuse McCain of imitating Wallace, but suggested there were similarities."
For your information, similar and like are synonyms.
Obama is like a bad boyfriend. He'll tell you whatever he thinks you want to hear. The only way to get to the nitty gritty & really know the heart of the man is to look at his history.
Well, Wright is a BIG part of Obama's history.
The liberal based media is like the sucker girlfriend that believes everything the bad boyfriend says. Hit me again,...please.

Let's hope McCain holds onto his last island of honor in the sea of muck he has allowed his campaign to become.

McCain really is determined to go down in a beautiful sunburst of flames with Caribou pulling the sleigh ever-downward as Rudolph did for Santa.

Bachman to McCain: throw ME some coal Santa!!!

Rev. Wright is definitely relevant. Do you really want a president who subscribes, or is influenced, by those views? Oh, but to bring it up is to be "racist and negative..." Oh, the irony is so rich! By claiming that, you are saying that what Wright spewed was NOT racist or hateful. It's all very sad that ANYONE would listen to that for 20 years; nobody I know would have sat there for 20 seconds...

VOTE EARLY!!!

NOV. 4TH = OBAMA/BIDEN08

Folks, these are the statements Congressman Lewis made (below). In no way does he say "McCain & Palin are like George Wallace". He expresses his legitimate concerns for the tone of GOP rallies and lack of leadership McCain & Palin are showing to control hateful outbursts in their rallies. That kind of dynamic can progress into horrible actions. Putting a STOP to that kind of language and hate is critical to preventing a progression of hate and violence. There is nothing wrong with an African-American man in the South feeling afraid when he sees similarities between the 2 situations. Let us never, ever forget that the South engaged in systematic violence against African-Americans for decades.

From 1882-1968, 4,743 lynchings occurred in the United States. Of these people that were lynched 3,446 were black. The blacks lynched accounted for 72.7% of the people lynched. These numbers seem large, but it is known that not all of the lynchings were ever recorded. Out of the 4,743 people lynched only 1,297 white people were lynched. That is only 27.3%. Many of the whites lynched were lynched for helping the black or being anti lynching and even for domestic crimes.

"What I am seeing reminds me too much of another destructive period in American history," Lewis said in a statement issued today for Politico's Arena forum. "Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin are sowing the seeds of hatred and division, and there is no need for this hostility in our political discourse."

Lewis didn't accuse McCain of imitating Wallace, but suggested there were similarities.

"George Wallace never threw a bomb," Lewis noted. "He never fired a gun, but he created the climate and the conditions that encouraged vicious attacks against innocent Americans who were simply trying to exercise their constitutional rights. Because of this atmosphere of hate, four little girls were killed on Sunday morning when a church was bombed in Birmingham, Alabama."

McCain run with the Jeremiah wright issue "____America" It's obvious it would crush obama.

If you think the McCain camp has waged a despicable campaign, I am certain they have saved the worst for last. I hope McCain loses in a landslide.

Just stick to the facts and stump! None of this sideshow stuff has any bearing on the population that will decide this election!!! Former Senator Robert Dole, Senator John Kerry lost with respect, If it is to be it will, but dont go down in flames in a shameful way...It just goes to show you what would have been or would be in he is elected...

I have never liked Rick Davis. In fact, I really dislike him. I watched his interview with a FOX NEWS anchor where he was being plain rude to the guy- this is Fox News, as I've said, when he was asking whether they could have Sarah Palin do an interview on Fox.

This low-life, in a Fox interview with Axelrod and the same anchor kept trying to shout down Axelrod when he was talking and kept on rudely interrupting him, while Axelrod did not do that. Even when the Fox News anchor told him to tone it down when Axelrod was talking, he continued shouting. These kind of people who try to drown out their opponent by shouting them down- well, that's pathetic.

Davis is a lobbyist for Freddie and Fannie who was getting quite a bundle of green from them, eh? This liar, when confronted in that interview over the negative ads, instead of attempting to explain himself, said "The Obama campaign does it too!"

What an idiot.

Davis, I'll love to see your face turn the same interesting shade of blue as Virginia and perhaps Missouri turn as the votes are tallied on November 4th.

"He made me do it" is usually the justification of a ten-year old school yard bully, not a Presidential campaign. When McCain started going negative, he claimed that Obama made him do it because he wouldn't attend his town meetings.

John Lewis' comments on the tenor of some of the campaign's rallies are now making the McCain campaign reinject Rev. Wright into the campaign.

What's next? Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah!
Are there any adults left in this campaign?

Why on earth will right thinking People want to stay Republican?

I have asked myself a couple of times but I don't seem to be getting answers.

May be the GOPers on this thread will be willing to tell me why they are still in a Party that spread so much hate and lies?

No Country can progress without love. If there is so much hatred from a group of People such as this, how can we justify the motto "In God we trust"

Isn't God about Love? Didn't the Bible say Love is the most important of the Commandments?

Why do we have so many Evangelicals in the Republican Party who are pro-life but who so willingly kill with their thoughts and words?

Why is their so much hatred from this group for a fellow Christian, who may, If GOD ordains it, be the President-elect of the United States of America in a few days?

Has God's name become just a tool to garner votes now? Is he no longer in our hearts?

We can disagree without being disagreeable.

Whatever the outcome of the Election is, America will remain one and indivisible.

But let us not guile ourselves, we can't continue with so much hatred i our hearts and expect prosperity to abound.

I wonder how one can have so much love for Dogs, Cats and other Pets and yet have so much hatred for a fellow Human being.

What hypocrisy!!!!

I reckon they must be worshipping another God than the one we read about in the BIBLE.

Let McCain bring up Wright and he will be seen as a TRUE RACIST but we already know that!!!!! sister smearest

Right!

Clinton is a racist, and McCain is a racist.... but Wright is not a racist... nor is Obama, who has played the damn race card from the very inception of his run!

Many years ago, McCain adopted a black daughter with a harelip, and he and Cindy made her whole and beautiful and gave/give her their love.

Have YOU done as much for the white race?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

Are you surprised?

it will only hurt him

re read the next to the last para.
just because john lewis said what he said, mccain made his statement of his displeasure with what lewis said. and lewis appol. for it.

if they are now thinking about using wright (not that it really matters, or will make much difference,) except, it is going to make mccain look like a vindictive type of person also.
as a person who has admired mr. mcain, and always did see him as a pretty stand up kind of guy, i hope he does not choose to do this.

While I am sickened at the thought of seeing Rev Wright spew his anti-american hate and racism about whites and Hillary in particular knowing that Obama and Michelle had their 2 little girls listening in the pews, I think it is important for the American people to know who mentored Obama.

If Barack Hussein Obama is going to be trusted to lead this country, we have a right to know where his moral foundation came from and what he saw that was so great about Rev Wright and his good friends Louis Farakhan and Father Phlaegar.

My gut feeling is that Obama is only telling people what they want to hear, once he is in, he will just be a puppet to Pelosi and the other radical liberals in the Senate. We have all suffered for the last 2 yrs under their rigid agenda. They have not lsitened to the American people when they were in favor of drilling or creating nuclear energy, thus creating more jobs.

Obama has no record for us to go by, we are just suppose to except his word that he will do the things that he has promised. Something just doesn't smell right with this and Pelosi already planning for Obama to be president and writing up and expansion of the welfare system before he is even in just sends chills up my spine. They are planning the biggest government expansion in history. And frankly we cannot afford it.

At least Americans will know what they are getting when they vote for Obama.

Rev Wright will be in the White House if Obama is in it

Which surrogate gets to say...USS Forrestal. McCain killed 133 sailors. Hid below deck while ship burned. ... James B. Fowler. Indicted heroin trafficker. McCain asked to help get him out of jail... F i r s t ?

You have no idea what you are talking about. McCain did not kill 133 people, he barely escaped his plane before it exploded after an electrical problem discharged a Zuni rocket (didn't come from his plane), on the flight deck. 143 people were killed and McCain's aircraft was hit, he escaped by walking down the nose of his plane with seconds to spare.
Get your facts straight, you sound ignorant.
