McCain And Hussein Go Nuclear: “McCain’s Campaign The Sleaziest In History”
Politico:
So much for nuance, or elevating the dialogue.
Locked in a political death match with 52 days to live, the presidential campaigns went nuclear on what looked to be a quiet Saturday, with stumping curtailed because of Hurricane Ike’s catastrophic overnight hit on Houston.
Sen. Barack Obama’s national press secretary, Bill Burton, accused Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) of “cynically running the sleaziest and least honorable campaign in modern presidential campaign history. His discredited ads with disgusting lies are running all over the country today. He runs a campaign not worthy of the office he is seeking.”
That was prompted by a McCain campaign statement about remarks Obama (D-Ill.) made in Manchester, N.H., on Saturday morning.
McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds thundered by e-mail: “During the event, Barack Obama showed zero restraint in the ferocity of his attacks despite the wreckage in the gulf and his running mate’s cancellation in reaction to it.
“It says a lot about Barack Obama’s judgment that while his campaign canceled his appearance on ‘Saturday Night Live’ and his running mate stayed home, Obama went ahead and delivered a series of scathing personal attacks. Today’s attacks mark a new low from Barack Obama.”
Oh good. I hope Obama goes negative. Obama has so far given away or had taken away everything that made him stand out. Being a “new kind of politician” was all that was left. By going negative, he will squander that advantage as well. Look at his poll numbers. Until the Republican convention, McCain’s numbers didn’t go up, Obama’s went down. That’s because the more people learn about Obama, the less they like him. When he goes full bore trashing a former POW and a hockey mom, that will put his candidacy away for good.
September 14th, 2008 at 4:29 amThat’s rich Barry a pathological liar accusing others of lying lol.
Obama overlooks that pointing out his shortcomings, broken promises, poor legislative and non-executive records, his obsession for celebrity and cult of personality, his poor judgment and self-afflicted gaffes, his pandering ways and abuse of identity politics be it race, gender or age - is not lying, is not false, but an accurate description of a stuttering lightweight political hack and fraud chosen to to lead a morally, intellectually bankrupt Democratic party.
Btw, has anyone seen Michelle Obama?? She’s gone awol. I wonder if Obama, Biden and the Dems know a little something something the RNC are withholding for good measure…
September 14th, 2008 at 5:12 amBarry is a tool and his “followers” are tools of the tool…Barry also has a growing awareness of his own mediocrity which should big us plenty more Barry-The-Asshat moments. The media will continue to say NO LOOK OVER HERE AT THIS SHINY NEW ANTI-PALIN STORY!!
September 14th, 2008 at 5:16 amCloset muslim Obama must not be elected President…He will destroy America as we know it…
September 14th, 2008 at 6:04 amObama, the sleeper cell Democrat. He will do anything to get to the whitehouse.
Does anyone know if he still uses Nation of Islam members from Lewis Farrakan church as security guards?????
September 14th, 2008 at 6:34 amSo they’re accusing McCain of running a sleazy campaign when Obama is calling McCain out of touch because his war wounds make it hurt like hell for him to use a keyboard and mouse? Little bit of cognitive dissonance going on, isn’t there?

Don’t know and don’t care. Anyone who would even consider having a Supremacist group provide security for their presidential bid doesn’t even deserve to be let inside the gates to the White House.
But then again the Nation of Islam can’t possibly be a hate group after all, they’re Muslim, and black. And we know that they never commit ANY crimes. And if they do it’s because us white people are so oppressive.
September 14th, 2008 at 7:44 am“Does anyone know if he still uses Nation of Islam members from Lewis Farrakan church as security guards?????”
That comes AFTER he’s elected. National Civilian Security Force.
September 14th, 2008 at 8:27 amAnd Hussein’s campaign is absolutely holy and incorruptible.
September 14th, 2008 at 8:39 amThe messiah is as much the nihilist as was his mentor the late communist fuck Saul Alinsky.
“In Artful Dodger style, Barack Obama, plays down his mentorship with Communist author Saul Alinsky. But Alinsky’s son, L. David Alinsky, credits Obama for “learning his lesson well” from the Communist guru.
Indeed, Alinsky Jr. who credits his late father for the success of [the] Democratic National Convention, may have done something that Obama’s detractors couldn’t: blown the cover on the presidential hopeful’s communist leanings.”
Yeah, that’s no shit.
September 14th, 2008 at 11:41 amYesterday or the day before I read here that if Hussein applied to the FBI or the Treasury Dept. for employment he wouldn’t be accepted because he’d wouldn’t pass the FBI background check.
Which by extension means that any job in the Federal Gov. that required a background check Hussein would be disqualified for.
Including the Dept. of Justice.
And Hussein is a Harvard trained Lawyer, think about it.
The media, the Dim. party and most of H-wood want him as POTUS?
WTF?
Bubble of false reality anyone?
September 14th, 2008 at 11:36 pmI wonder why no one has slammed Obama on his 5-10 cigs a day habit? Not that I care if he smokes, but I’m sure many tree hugging save the earth lefties would. They’d ask, why doesn’t he have the will to stop using such a destructive behavior? What about global warming from cigarette smoke, aaaghhhhhh! We’re doomed.
