Political Punch

Well, as its said...a snake in the grass will show its head...I'll give Sen. McCain his just dues when he had to stop that woman at his rally from continuing on with her blatant racism...I live the metro Detroit area that has the largest Arab community outside of the middle east...someone ask them how do they feel after that woman was so out spoken...racism in America is still alive and ugly and how so very unfortunate. Presently as it is McCain should apologize for the people at his rallies and I see no need for Rep. Lewis to do anything less than what he has done all his adult life, address racism in this nation

Sorry Jake..I had forgotten that I had already posted yesterday about Lewis..didn't mean to unintentionally "spam" with another post..(for all I know this post won't go through either lol).

Even if ACORN were filling out bogus registrations on purpose, you can't steal an election that way. Registration is not voting.

If you register and vote the same day you sure could vote as many times as you register. Absentee voting could be done the same way.

I guess Rep. Lewis is no longer one of McCain's men. Is the McCain campaign going to start huffing and puffing about all the conservative white guy columnists who are banging them on their inept and negative campaign?

Obama doesn't have the character to take a position and stand up against his party leaders. You can always count on a soft response. Obama has lied and lied and lied to us about Ayers. His story has been substantially changed since he 1st acknowledge Ayers. Today Mayor Daley said they were friends. For him to lie and then cry foul shows his true character. Of course, ABC will not accurately cover this or any other of his omissions and out and out lies. They are hot on the trail of frying Palin for standing up against a child abuser, drunk and armed maniac tough. Good job.

The only person in this endless election drama who can be legitimately likened to George Wallace is Jeremiah Wright, you know the bigot who was Barack Obama's pastor and spiritual mentor for over twenty years. But, Senator Obama simply had no idea he was such a virulent bigot. The "truth squad" demands you swallow this prevarication with no questions asked!

Remember, theenlightenedone is above any examination. Whatever he says is simply so!

Ryan C: I was just responding to the topic that JT and company have put out for discussion. You see the point of this topic is the fact that one of McCains supporters today on tv misspoke and said joe and immediatley said John in refering to John Lewis, who is one of my hero's because all that he did in brining about civil rights. I was just saying that everyone has embarrassing moments and I gave that as an example. I am not sure why you were offended. I just don't understand why ABC feels it so important of a gaff that they put 3 min of a Joe Lewis fight in order to make a point, it seems to be juvenile and not worthy of discussion. But they choose the topic not I.

If we want to go down the list of mistakes made by each canidate, like Obama saying that he has been to all 57 states we could but then I would be engaging in the very thing that I am condeming.

Unlike Obama and his surrogates McCain is no mysogynist and does not need to demean women like "

Yeah if you don't count him calling his wife the c-word or his laughing at a support of his calling Hillary a b%4#@ or his interupting of Palin during joint interviews, not allowing her to speak or his treatment of Palin in general when it comes to the media.

Oh and how could I forget that he cheated on his 1st wife and left her for a younger richer woman when the 1st wife was still recovering from a car accident.

Conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman is a punishable offense of the U.S. military defined by Article 133 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice as:

• "Action or behavior in an official capacity which, in dishonoring or disgracing the person as an officer, seriously compromises the officer's character as a gentleman."

• "Behavior in an unofficial or private capacity which, in dishonoring or disgracing the officer personally, seriously compromises the person's standing as an officer."

• "Knowingly making a false official statement;"

• "Using insulting or defamatory language to another officer in that officer's presence or about that officer to other military persons;"

Kravits: Unlike Obama and his surrogates McCain is no mysogynist and does not need to demean women like Obama did Hilllary and then ask them to support him. John McCain was in a POW camp when George Wallace was advancing his segregationist agenda. He to was denied his civil rights, and he knows all to well how it feels to have them taken away. No just like Obama and crew did to Bill Clinton they now attempt to do to John McCain. John McCain fought for all Americans and not just white america or Republicans. Mr. Lewis comparision is an insult to all those who foungt for civil rights in this country and all those who foungt on the balltlefield in order that we have the freedom to set around and call each other racist!

Russell,

Would you rather they focus on McCain not getting the name of the leader of Pakistan right or his seeming inability to pronounce the name of the leader of Iran?

Or how about when he addressed a rally as my fellow prisoners vs my fellow Americans as he intended.

If during Wednesday's debate, McCain goes negative, and Obama is forced to mention the U.S.S. Forrestal disaster where McCain is personally responsible for 133 deaths because of his careless hotdoggin' (erratic showoff flying crashed a plane into the ship,) it could be a not so nice drubbing to watch as a legacy crumples to the floor.

There is so much Obama has not done to McCain's reputation. The Contras. The Arizona organized crime connections. The Jimmy Johnson killing. The Ft. Ord land deal. Don Diamond. The undeclared gambling income. But the Forrestal is very devastating...it really does ruin the idea that McCain is a responsible guy. He sat downstairs while others perished.

Then again, with John Lewis, notice he said "Governor Palin and me" rather than put himself first. He's always hiding behind something. Whether it's the POW thing, or in this and other cases....hiding behind women. (Don't hit me!! Don't hit MEEEEE!!!)

Why don't you show the footage of the Republican turned Obama supporter who was given a script by the Obama campaign to introduce Joe Biden, but instead of say now here is Joe Biden the next VP of the US he said here he is the next VP of the US John McCain. Apparently JT and crew can't or do not want to show anything embarrasing about the Obama campaign. ABC Fair and Balanced as usual!

Unfortunately, there is too much truth in the comparison with George Wallace.
We remember well, the hate he stirred by his rhetoric, much as the words being used by Palin and weakly endorsed by McCain. McCain would like to have it both ways. This is NOT leadership- but, politics of the worse kind.

Palin would do well to take some lessons from Hillary Clinton. Today, she made some searing remarks about the economy in favor of Obama- without the character assassination favored by Palin and McCain.

Palin does not have the knowledge to do anything but use one line character attacks. McCain should and does know better.

"terrorist" "kill him" "off with his head" ---------- McCain/Palin the change we DONT need!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"so, the man made a slip up, said joe instead of john, ted kennedy almost called obama, osama when intro-ing him.
i don't understand the need for the 3plus minutes of joe lewis footage.

"

it's the columnist love of obama.. slips of the tongue by righties reflect their true feelings, slips of the tongues by obamaites are just accidents

let's be honest.. John Lewis is a obamaite.. what he said,combined with Obama's refusal to reject what John said, means it was a sanctioned obama statement.

Nice video of Joe Louis and Max Schmelling (fight two) Jake. One thing though, in almost 12 years as Heavyweight Champion of the World, Louis, The Brown Bomber, never hit anyone with a low blow. He didn't have to-nor would he.

Perhaps Rep. John Lewis should study some old tapes of Joe Louis, and he might learn a thing or two-especially something called the Marquis of Queensbury Rules.

I am sure the Congress has their version, and John McCain-a great fight fan from what I understand (as am I)has always adhered to those rules throughout his career, never hitting anyone with a low blow, and he's won plenty of fights on the Senate floor and elsewhere, without the use of such dirty tactics.

John McCain said it best-Lewis' remarks went beyond the pale, and he threw a cheap shot at McCain. It's time for Lewis to apologize.

Obama, "We've been seeing some pretty over-the-top attacks coming out of the McCain campaign over the last several days that he wasn't willing to say it to my face."

McCain, ""Congressman John Lewis' comments represent a character attack against Governor Sarah Palin and me that is shocking and beyond the pale." I call on Senator Obama to immediately and personally repudiate these outrageous and divisive comments that are so clearly designed to shut down debate 24 days before the election."

McCain attacks Obama, however he does it behind Obama's back.

Rep. Lewis attacks McCain, however McCain insists Obama talk to Lewis.

What's going on here? McCain campaigns he's the fighter, however in reality he's hiding getting someone else to do the fighting.

McCain presidential?

No, he's not. He's gutless.

Talk about a double standard. We must treat the old guy with respect. All the while they berate the other guy. What a load of crap. The old guy doesn't deserve our respect any longer. He's proven that he is no better than rove and bush. No thanks, we only have 100 more days of them. We cannot afford any more.
