Today's ‘Freak Show’ News

What's this rusty pile of discombobulated spare parts lying on the ground?

Oh, it's the Republican Party.

is that a real black eye?

this girl could have been an obama or
mccain vol.

she just happened to be a mccain

she needs some help.

but the sad thing is,

i know fox, the rnc, and mccain/palin
thought they were about to get the gift of a willie horton.

not about race, is this
to kill a mockingbird time again?
a white woman claiming a black man did something to her.
a 6 foot 4 black man.

Already Voted, I had not read or heard that until now. It's exactly what connecting the dots seemed to lead to, though.

If anyone in the McCain campaign was behind this, or complicit in any way, criminal charges should be brought against them. My hope would be that the Secret Service might be interested, considering the apparent goal.

Jake, once again, this is much more than a freak show.

Bill Clinton was talking obout the earth quake today, just right after the rightious wind in Florida.But Im hoping for the bridge in Alaska, that would connect right into Russia. So I could just drive over all the way to Moscowa. Or go to Cuba for my vacation.

Here's more from TPM:

John McCain's Pennsylvania communications director told reporters in the state an incendiary version of the hoax story about the attack on a McCain volunteer well before the facts of the case were known or established -- and even told reporters outright that the "B" carved into the victim's cheek stood for "Barack," according to multiple sources familiar with the discussions.

YOU LEAD WITH KERRY TELLING A STUPID JOKE????

YOU LEAD WITH KERRY TELLING A STUPID JOKE AND BURY A POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE HOAX AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR POST??????

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU??????

Jake: the McCain campaign signalled a week ago that they were going to try to flip Pennsylvania. McCain himself tried to get this going a couple of days ago by making a joke about Murtha's racism comment, but he screwed it up som bad that he himself (McCain) became the joke.

Now we have a McCain supporter trying to fuel racial tensions in a political contest featuring a black man running against a white man, and you treak this like a stupid joke??????????????

FIRE YOURSELF!!!!!!

FIRE YOURSELF AND BLACKBALL YOURSELF FROM THE INDUSTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jake, a false police report -- which is a crime -- is not something to be lumped in with these other stories. They are in no way equivalent.

I want to know who gave the story, complete with photo, to Drudge, Fox, and the McCain campaign. The police say they found her story suspect from the beginning, so it seems highly unlikely that they gave the story to anyone. Or did an individual within the police department send it out? Can you try and find out?

It matters. It matters because this young woman AND the people disseminating the story tried to Willie-Hortonize Obama. Only in this case, the Scary Black Man becomes the candidate himself.

In this political climate, in an election during which people yell "Kill him" in the presence of presidential and vice presidential candidates, that's an extremely dangerous thing to do.

The AP was unable to find the young woman to interview her. How did the McCain campaign find her?

THE "B" IS FOR "BUSH".

ROTFLMAO

Raising taxes on the wealthy - McCain said it back in 2000. On October 12, 2000, on the Hardball College Tour, at a stop at Michigan State University, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., defended progressive taxation from the charge of Socialism. It's really quite a remarkable clip; he sounds like Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.

Just another fact the McCain campaign is trying to hide. HE said it- very clearly and now that Obama says it "he is a socialist!
Why there are more nut jobs in the GOP than ever - starting with another new star - the soon to be ex-chairwoman of the Otero County Republican Party - Marcia Stirman,who says ''I believe war is a fact of life and we should always win.'' coupled with fact that Obama is a ''a Muslim socialist.''
She said of Muslims: ''I don't trust them at all. They've sworn across the world that they are our enemies. Why we're trying to elect one is beside me.'' This lady fits in nicely with Palin, McCain and Rush Limbaugh! Way to go idiots - you'll lose this election on your own merits!

And in other freak-show news, GEORGE W. BUSH VOTED FOR McCAIN TODAY.

TALK ABOUT SHADY ASSOCIATIONS.

BUSH = McCAIN

McCAIN = FAIL

Ugh. Reading Republican slurs is embarrassing to all patriotic Americans. Not only are their attacks almost always full of made-up "facts" (that's political-speak for "lies") and offensive opinions, their stories are so absurdly false that a complete imbecile would be hard-pressed to believe such nonsense. Don't these people have any self-respect? Clearly they have no respect for other people or they would not be trying to sway others with such grotesque and obvious lies, but such deceits usually come only from those who have very little respect for themselves. Sad, sad, sad. And very embarrassing for America.

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN HOAX.

The NeoCons laughed at the "reality-based community".

THEY DESERVE THIS.

Reality has a way of intruding on the fantasy-based community EVERY TIME.

Fox News said if this turned out to be a hoax, it would be the end for McCain.

THE END.

SAY GOODNIGHT JOHN!!!

Concerned -

The last Democrat to cut spending? His name was Bill Clinton. You remember Welfare Reform? And a host of other programs.

Geevil -

If you want to play a semantic game, Obama is not raising taxes, he is proposing not to renew Bush tax cuts that are set to retire. And, actually, as projections have shown with the phony "Joe the Plumber" example, many (like Joe) will actually see reduced taxes under Obama's plan.

And why did Bush's tax plan include expiring tax cuts? Because to project them out as permanent tax cuts ruined their budget deficit forecasts. And what do we have now? Record deficits.

Obama Backers own the news agencies.

They have no scruples, no sense of fairness, No Respectable Jounarlism, and do not care about the american people.

The media is out to make a bucks and Obama big money backers line their pockets.

Obama is a national infomercial, High pressure sales of something you wish you never bought into.

judging by this girl you must be mentally disturbed to be a repub----now he is trying to throw his buddy bush under the bus---mccain mccain how far will you go.what will you say next---he is getting like a cartoon on fast forward.

where is the 70 point font update on the drudge site like he had when this story was first breaking?

oh thats right now this story makes mccain supporters look like freaks and that ruins drudges MO...

sooo disgusting...

all these mccain people frothing at the mouth going crazy about obama supporters, and then... no apologies just... find the next thing to attack

Why do liberals never ever even remotely consider cutting spending?
-----------------
So CONCERNED:

Name the last Republican President to cut spending.

Bush II - no
Bush I - no
Reagan - no
Ford - no
Nixon - no

What was your point again?

Oh yes, that Republicans "consider" cutting soending, they just NEVER do it.

will we ever get past the CRAP talk---if mccains crew can dream it up they will......kerry had it right mccain is full of crap.

Okay read Kerry's comment. I don't care that he made the joke, but it is funny reading him explaining it...I hear Kerry's voice in my head...

"As a double-entendre, actually, it is pretty funny."

Heh.
