Axelrod Smears McCain/Palin
Posted by: Amanda Carpenter at 8:50 AM
David Axelrod wants John McCain and Sarah Palin to start taking responsibility for their "profane" supporters.

"There's absolutely no doubt that there's a kind of anger and resentment that is being stirred up with these rallies that's unhealthy and obviously Senator McCain aware of it
," Axelrod said on MSNBC this morning.

Perhaps Mr. Axelrod would like explain why his Obamamaniacs  threw Maltov cocktails at a McCain supporter's home then? Or apologize for the Obama supporters who vandalized the SC GOP headquarters?

Yes, such hatred from the right.....
The McCain camp could learn a great lesson about civil discourse from the libs. A great example would be Sandra Bernhard, whose very civil comments about "that f--king Palin b--ch" getting gang-raped are a great contrast to big bad Sarah's nastiness.

Amen screwtape


Plus Obama and CNN need to stop playing the race

card,

it is apparent that those who vote Obama

simply because he is black are ignorant of his

policies.

They would vote for Obama even if his policies

were John McCain's policies.


THIS IS CLASSIC!

Yes, I passed the test and one of the questions was how to spell democrat.
PC writes: Monday, October, 13, 2008 2:53 PM
Sherry - my top 10
McCain:

1. Campaign Finance Reform.
2. Gang of 14.
3. Amnesty.
4. Considered becoming a dem in 2000.
5. Contacted Kerry about VP spot.
6. Lied about Romney/timetables 2 days before FL.
7. Cheating in WV.

8. Using Romney 6 months, hinting that he would choose him for veep, then giving him the bum's rush. (Romney remains a faithful footsoldier, speaking for McCain better than McCain speaks for himself.)

9. Choosing the least qualified person EVAH for VP as a cynical gender/religious play for evangelicals and disaffected Hillary voters.

10. Wandering aimlessly in search of a strategy 3 weeks to election day.

Sorry. I don't see a real good reason to vote for McNasty/McNappy.

It's becoming crystal clear that the best thing for the GOP is 4 years out of power.

I passed my test. 20 years in the navy. Getting out, going to work in the private sector, giving THAT up to adopt a gaggle of kids AFTER I got married (to a man, I might add).

I have never voted democrate until this year. I passed my test. Have you?

I don't NEED to make Obama look any better than he does to the global community - the one that exists outside of your lizard-brained angry mob.

You COULD get a clue, LLR. The truth about your own candidate and HIS ties to terrorists, lobbyists responsible for our economic meltdown and corrupt backers IS out there once you step away from the Hannity clownfest of dishonored, anti-semitic, psychotic faux lawyers like Andy Martin: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/13/us/politics/13martin.htm l?ei=5070

or McCain's corrupt Fannie May lobbyist/campaign advisor Rick Davis, or McCain's "honorary campaign co-chair" Henry Kissinger, who is was involved in a terrorist act that was part of Operation Condor:

"Kissinger's involvement in Operation Condor has led to legal action on multiple continents. In 2001, a judge in France issued a summons for Kissinger, who was staying at the Ritz hotel in Paris. Kissinger left Paris that evening. Later that year, an Argentine judge requested a deposition from Kissinger. In September 2001, a civil case against Kissinger on the behalf of a Chilean family was filed in Washington D.C. On September 11, 2001, criminal charges against Kissinger were filed in Chile. Finally, near the end of 2001, the government of Brazil informed Kissinger that it was cancelling an invitation for him to speak in Sao Paulo because they could not guarantee his immunity from judicial action."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Condor

Charles Keating is one of the dirtiest players out there in McCain's history - and McCain has acknowledged his guilt as a member of the corrupt group that helped Keating advance his own cause.

Get a clue, LLR. Get a clue.

Will Obama take responsiblity for...
people throwing Molotov cocktails and spraypainting buildings? If not then he should shut the H@ll up.
BelleStarr writes: Monday, October, 13, 2008 10:35 AM
McCain and Obama can compromise
Here's a deal:

McCain will take responsiblity for the 1/2 dozen individuals he doesn't know (and how do we know they are not Obama implants), apologize and ask them to keep it civil (I think he already did).

Obama will take responsibility and apologize for (multiple choice, he can even choose the best answer):

a.) the people involved in the Anneberg Challenge and especially the well respected educational reformer William Ayers, who's progam seems to have been a failure (thank god).

b.) ACORN

d.) Barney Frank and Chris Dodd and the failure to support John McCain back in 2005 concerning Freddie and Fannie.

e.) Attacking Milt Rosenberg's show, intimidating McCain supporters in Missouri , and trying to eliminate free speech by actively recuiting via email people to get in their faces. A discouragement of the free discussion of ideas.

f.) Encouraging race to be used as a weapon against his ideological opponents.

I'm sure there are more.
Sherry writes: Monday, October, 13, 2008 10:27 AM
my two cents for two cents
You have got to be the best example of why people should have to pass a test before they get the right to vote. Your logic is so moronic that it is laughable. It is pathetic to think that you are casting your vote based on those reasons. God Help us if there are more like you out there.
LLR writes: Monday, October, 13, 2008 10:21 AM
Delusion
What a grand delusion that Obama has put over all the poor sheep that are following him.
Making Lies look like Good Will.
Obama has done nothing but taught all his young followers that it is ok to Lie, Cheat and Steal the Presidency of the United States.
ACORN being a fine example that is now being investigated!
They have taken an honest Election Process and made it a dirty process.
Chicago Thugs are the best at this and teaching it to your young people!
Wake Up AMericans!!!
Come out of your Obama Slumber and get back on the track of HONESTY!

Classless
I'll not be voting for McCain because in part, of the tastless and classless voters that think that Palin is 1. sent by god, and is a moral person. Now, I'm not her judge and jury on that front, but I can vote for someone who will be a good example to my family. Sarah and John ain't it. Both have had affairs. Sarah was expecting first kid before marriage, taught daughter it's just fine to sleep with hockey team, so long as you 'take responsiblity' and marry the guy, if yhou know who he is. (adoption is a better choice than a teen marrarige).

To hear these toothless wonders spout on and on, makes me wonder how our America got to be so stupid and vile.

Go Obama! I even sent him money in JSM and Palins name! (in memory of their failed campaign).

maybe obama
should control the people at HIS rallies wearing signs that say "Sarah Palin is a c*nt" and holding signs saying that Bristol Palin should have aborted her child.

And John McCain HAS asked his supporters to act respectfully.

Now why don't we talk about the conventions...in which just a handful of McCain supporters protested PEACEFULLY outside.

Then at the RNC, THOUSANDS of people protested VIOLENTLY and came into the convention (somehow obtaining press badges...hmmm...) screaming during Governor Palin's speech and during Senator McCain's speech.

That simply DID NOT happen at the DNC.

And Axelrod wants US to be respectful when Obama supporters are saying things like "Sarah Palin is a c*nt" and "Sarah Palin can s*ck it."

BTW Pamela Anderson, we all know that YOU can suck it. Most of America has seen!

and finally, amandahannity, dear
The reality is that McCain and Palin incited violence in their rallies with overt references to Obama palling with terrorists and questioning his religious affiliations. They've used the "keywords" - as your own Kathleen Parker puts it - to send a message to the basest of their base, and it's worked only to bring out the very, very worst in their supporters.

What's chilling is that when McCain belatedly tried to regain control of his mob, they wouldn't have it. They booed HIM for stating the reality of Obama's decency. His crowd is out of control and he is ineffectual in reining them in. Comforting thought, no? HE CAN'T CONTROL HIS ANGRY MOB. And Palin DOESN'T want to control it. She is openly gleeful in what she's wrought, isn't she? It's no wonder that the hockey crowd in Philly - and hockey fans are always the most honest in their sentiment - loudly in a prolonged and sustained manner, BOOED her the other night.
joe writes: Monday, October, 13, 2008 9:38 AM
re: the difference
the difference between the campaigns is that violent, racist comments are being shouted out WHILE McCain/Palin are speaking. And until Saturday, they said nothing in response. It took something utterly ridiculous (Obama is an Arab) for McCain to finally say something back.

These Repub rallies are a circus of nonsense.

You are a blind voter!
I don't understand why you come to this blog, you have decided on Obama, you know he is a NOBODY!
Stop trying to make your man look like something he will never be, and that would be an upstanding American!
Why are you voting for Obama, name something other than Bush/Cheney, He is first black running for office, you just like him, tell me something of substance, tell me what he stands for. What change will he make other than turning a wonderful country into nothing but a HUGE WELFARE PROGRAM!
Nero did you so conveniently ignore the blog that tells about YOUR people throwing bombs at peoples homes?
That was just a sample of what your party stands for!
I hope every Jewish Person votes for MCCAIN! Obama is associated with Farrakhan who is a well know anti semite!
Sean Hannity is a fair minded HONEST American who gives everyone a voice! How many of your MSM gives everyone a fair voice?
Nero you are a MUTE blogger, you opinion went down the drain when your Party showed their true colors!
NeroDavola writes: Monday, October, 13, 2008 9:35 AM
Rick Davis....
Lies with impunity. He claimed that Troopergate findings cleared Palin of wrongdoing, and wastes 1000 pages with no findings, while it in fact on page 8 of the PDF we get the first of the rulings that she "abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act. http://media.adn.com/smedia/2008/10/10/16/Branchflowerrepo rt.source.prod_affiliate.7.pdf
---Even Chris Wallace begged to differ with Davis' misreading [lies] of the rulings!

But the fact is Davis has been lying his way through the news cycle this week and challenging Axelrod on everything from McCain 'tackling corruption' [while Davis himself is implicated in selling lobbyists access to McCain - to the tune of several millions dollars - something he claims the McCain camp condemns] to playing Palin's Troopergate apologist.

Even Kristol is now flipflopping his way to pointing out how the dirty politics and inciting violence at the rallies has been a poor - albeit he once thought it a GREAT - strategy

Amandahannity & Andy Martin
Where is the link to these allegations against Obama supporters that you are throwing out to the frenzied RW mob? Neither takes on the same chilling violent message as the VERY DISTURBING cases coming out from McCain supporters, such as this one:
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2008/1008082vote r1.html

....and where, Amandahannity, has there been shouts of "Kill him!" at an Obama or Biden event?

Palin has whipped her base into a frothing, rabid mass of anger based on lies. Even your own Kathleen Parker has said as much when she stated:
"The McCain campaign knows that Obama isn't a Muslim or a terrorist, but they're willing to help a certain kind of voter think he is."

Hannity aired a show that featured Andy Martin, an anti-semite who started the smear campaign against Obama and now we find out that the man behind the 'Obama is a Muslim' whisper campaign is in fact a certifiable nutjob:

"He is a law school graduate, but his admission to the Illinois bar was blocked in the 1970s after a psychiatric finding of “moderately severe character defect manifested by well-documented ideation with a paranoid flavor and a grandiose character.”

Though he is not a lawyer, Mr. Martin went on to become a prodigious filer of lawsuits, and he made unsuccessful attempts to win public office for both parties in three states, as well as for president at least twice, in 1988 and 2000. Based in Chicago, he now identifies himself as a writer who focuses on his anti-Obama Web site and press releases."

Can Obama Take the Heat from the People?
Obama started this campaign calling McCain a liar and attempting to link him to George Bush. Now McCain calls him a liar and links Obama to William Ayers (read my blog why Ayers IS about the economy). Obama cannot take the heat. Obama's campaign from the get go has been about making the American people mad. Now if McCain gets people going, he has done something wrong and the corrupted media buys into it just because he said it. It's time for the people to rise up and vote to save this great nation.

A desperate attempt
A desperate attempt at trying to turn this thing around again for his candidate. He is just digging himself in even further. By ignoring his well-trained radicals on the left, he continues to confirm to the public that the unfair bias in this race will weigh heavily with the voters.

I am from Chicago and Mr. A. is practicing garden-variety Chicago Thug Politics. Go after the opposing party, intimidate them, use the race card, work the media and then stand back and act like you are above the fray.

I am so glad to see that the rest of the US isn't buying this tactic. Maybe that was his biggest mistake in assuming that rest of the country is like Chicago.
