McCain Offended by Lewis' Comments; Calls On Obama to Condemn

Obama owes those bigots no apology; McCain/Palin owe him and the American public one!

I look forward to Palin's apology for all the lies she's told about Obama during her public vetting process. I look forward to Palin's apology for her participation in AIP functions and other anti-American terrorist organizations. I look forward to McCain's apology for his associations with his best bud the spying, stealing Liddy and anti-American Singaub.

Those are the apologies and condemnations necessary.

Obama/Biden 08!

McCain doesn't like to be compared to someone who had a bad reputation 40 years ago. He wants Obama to humbly apologize for the words of someone who does not speak for him and yet McCain is not apologizing for the inflammatory words that his own partner says, the inflammatory words that he has said himself. The attacks on Obama are not legitimate questions about Obama's character, they are simply attacks aimed to make people equate Obama with a terrorist.

I see way too many people saying that the press is on Obama's side, simply because they have found no evidence that Obama has real, substantial ties to Ayers. These people are so afraid of Obama that they want there to be something there so badly that they won't accept anything else. Forget the facts, let's convict him on the basis of contact alone.

Are they convicting everyone else who has any connection to Ayers as a terrorist as well? Are the students who take his classes all terrorists? Do we really want to live in an America where the thinnest of connections can be sparked into guilt. Like it or not Ayers has never been convicted of a crime. His actions took place 40 years ago, when Obama was a child. Obama has repeatedly denounced Ayers and yet none of that is enough.

Niun another reason why this is true because Mccain had to tone down his supporters in Wisconsin....Mccain has created an environment off of ignorance and pure hate rather than....thought, research, and issues!!

stephen..I am still trying to find this quote can you direct me to the website. The only quote I could find is this about Obama and the flagpin:******

Barack Obama has an unexpected ally in the spat over his decision to stop wearing an American flag lapel pin, which he says has become a substitute for "true patriotism" since 9/11.

Chris Wallace, host of Fox News Sunday, said this morning that he doesn't wear a flag pin either "because I kind of agree [with Obama] to the extent that I think that you can be a true patriot and not wear it."

Fox News has been covering Obama's flag pin comments heavily today, far more than the other cable news nets. At one point, Fox legal correspondent Judge Andrew Napolitano declared that Obama was "disrespecting the American flag" to appeal "to a hard-left audience." (Strangely, Napolitano voiced the very opposite opinion during the same segment. "I don't think it makes you less patriotic at all," he said. "I don't wear the pin, and I'm a patriot." Huh?)

Watch video of Wallace:

chattyway...sure! whatever you want to discuss..Mcain and Palin's hate rallies?

If the below happened on Meet The Press, what was the date? And why is this guy even in the race? And now once again Obama plays the race card. This is America, Right? I don't mean he can't run. Just does'nt seem he should repersent a major party.

Quote from the mouth of Sen. Obama himself from Sundays Meet the Press:

"As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides, Obama said. 'There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. 'We should consider to reinvent our National Anthem as well as to redesign our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we as a Nation of warring people, should conduct ourselves as the nations of Islam, whereas peace prevails. When I become President, I will seek a pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation have placed upon the nations of Islam an unfair injustice. My wife disrespects the Flag for many personal reasons. Together she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past, many years ago. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path of hope. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's First Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America." unquote

Caroyln...You are missing the whole point!!!! Mccain agree to talk about Obama instead of the issues(economy, oil, health care). He agreed to talk about his associates...FINE! He was walking a thin line!! Somehow Palin started the "name calling" and Mccain followed and it has gotten out of hand!!! Now this government it's not in the presidential race, but he is voicing what other people are saying(not in exact words). Mccain is not the honorable man that we use to trust. He just hit a all time low and people are sick of it and are going to stand up to it!!! Mccain cant handle his oun smears. He wants this guy to apologize, but Mccain cant even stop the crap he is pulling....there is no comparison!!! sorry!

Wonder if anyone in the media will report or show pictures of the hateful t-shirts worn by obamabots at the McCain/Palin rallies? Saying things like "Palin is a C**T" or "Palin is a B***H" (except they don't use the ***'s)

Oh wait...that might interfere with the media's grand propagandist theories that the "hateful racists" at the McCain/Palin rallies have anything they might have been ticked off by as they entered into the events....

We're three weeks away from the annointing of Farrakan's "Messiah"... God have mercy on us all...

Votes count...care to post a link? HMM???

>>How come Republicans can't respect the personal property of others?

Posted by: Lotus | Oct 12, 2008 12:26:24 PM

Night before last my yard sign was tossed into a nearby storm drain and a bumper sticker torn off my car. I assume it was the same person that stole a half a tank of gas the same night.

Oh... btw, it was a no-obama09.com bumper sticker and a McCain/Palin yard sign... the 3rd one torn down or stolen.

I could say... 'how come Democrats can't respect the personal property of others' but that would be stupid and pointless. No one 'side' has the monopoly on, or a mandate for, ignorant behavior.

If there was not so much at stake for our country this election, this matter of John Lewis questioning the McCain-Palin speechifying tendency to incite or inspire would all be laugh out loud funny. We have a candidate who, based upon his campaign and political history up to now, likely would not even be a serious contender for the office of President of the United States but for the race (ethnicity) of the other candidate. What reasonable person believes John McCain would ever have had a shot at winning this race had Barack Obama been white, named Joe Schmoe, with Barack Obama’s middle class focused politics, academic credentials, humble beginnings, and steadfast temperament?

We have another candidate who would be a heart beat away from the presidency whose only claims to fame are an insubstantial populist “ism based” agenda and unspoken religious beliefs that scare the “bejibbies” out of anyone who can foresee a sad moment when she has to take over the reigns of the presidency because John McCain succumbs to one or more of his existing ailments or disabilities.

So now when John Lewis calls McCain and Palin out on their last ditch effort to get the Republican vote out by “sowing the seeds of hatred and division,” I am supposed to what, see John Lewis as playing the race card?

John McCain, please! One of the only reasons why you are still a serious competitor in this race for President is the race card, which according to the polls began being played in your favor from the moment it became clear that Barack Obama, a black Senator from Illinois, would be your competitor. Furthermore Sir John, you should thank your lucky stars that race and gender hatred both came up in the Democratic nomination process making it possible for you to almost legitimately claim your undeserved and all but unchallenged 6 or more point boost in the polls because Obama is black and Palin is not Hillary.

It's amazing that Obama supporters don't have a problem with accusing McCain and Palin of racism when they talk about Obama's relationship with Ayres but defend Rep. John Lewis when he spews vile incendiary remarks about them and compares them to Gov. Geo. Wallace in the 60's. I see hypocracy. I hope McCain and Palin keep bringing up the bad people Obama has associated with over the years and we will keep digging until we find out every thing he is trying to hide.

I knew Obama would be playing the race card often.............I think he and his people would lie about racist remarks in order to try hide behind the race card when facts about how slimey Obama is started to surface. It's the same bs they did with Bill Clinton.

Why is it after McCain and his Unethical sidekick Palin throw matches into the crowd put on this act of being surprised a fire has started? Their attempt at plausible deniability is laughable. They knew it was going to ignite something, but the backfire caught them off guard. Then when sternly rebuked by a man of honor Rep. John Lewis for match throwing. McCain calls on Obama to “Personally repudiate these outrageous and divisive comments” as if Obama uttered them himself. And in some way act, as he never did anything to justify the scolding.
I stand by my post of Friday in describing the atmosphere of the McCain / Palin campaign:
(You reap what you sow…
What has become the Church of the Angry Base the McCain/Palin revival is showing it’s true colors. Rev. John and the Deacon of Deception (Palin) have promoted anger to advance their cause. Now the Rev. has seen the light of hate he’s exposed within the ranks of his blind followers. He needs to dim the spotlight exposing his soul!)

anna...thank you for the information on the Anneberg project.

Niun, I was wondering why there was no tape of this rally where that was supposedly said. It is just obama and his flunkies trying to distract from the real facts coming out about Obama.
BY chattyway
~~~~~ I KNOW if people were saying kill him why don't they show the tape?Where is the proof they know this i fabricated! People called the radio and said this never happened and couple people not only one. The media is so protecting obama that it is so sad!

All of you cut and paste Palin lovers give it a break , we have read all of this crap back in the primaries , dont have a McCain plan on the economy , I didnt think so , VOTE OBAMA

What will McCain do about all the other sympathizers who worked at the Annanberg Foundation? Will he smear them too? American condemns John McCain and the way his campaign carpet-bombs rational discussion with lies, smears and conspiracy theories.

If we could just "rip" all those liberal Demos out of the Senate and Congress we could reform America. They vote down every good idea.
It's ridiculous to continually blame the Republicans for the war. The record shows Democrats start most wars:
FDRooservelt (DEMOCRAT) led us into World War II. Germany never attacked us; Japan did. From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost ... an average of 112,500 per year. Truman (DEMOCRAT) finished that war and started one in Korea. North Korea
never attacked us. From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost ... an average of 18,334 per year. John F. Kennedy (DEMOCRAT) started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam> never attacked us. Johnson (DEMOCRAT) turned Vietnam into a quagmire. From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost ... an average of 5,800 per year. Clinton (DEMOCRAT) went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent. Bosnia never attacked us. He was offered Osama bin Laden's head on a platter three times by Sudan and did nothing. Osama has attacked us on multiple occasions. (Think about what else was going on during that time in the Clinton Whitehouse!!)

You are still so funny. I remember finding a 'Benz' hood ornament one time when I was young. I glued it to my toyota. You get the drift....maybe not.
