What a bitch.

Here's another unshockingly shocking tale of an evil McCain supporter.

Even McCain realizes his supporters are lunatics...

I guess he hasn't lost all of his humanity. Nevertheless, you reap what you sow...

McCain booed by rabid supporters for defending Obama as a "decent person" (video)

LAKEVILLE, Minn. - The anger is getting raw at Republican rallies and John McCain is acting to tamp it down. McCain was booed by his own supporters Friday when, in an abrupt switch from raising questions about Barack Obama's character, he described the Democrat as a "decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States."

On Friday, McCain rejected the bait.

"I don't trust Obama," a woman said. "I have read about him. He's an Arab."

McCain shook his head in disagreement, and said:

"No, ma'am. He's a decent, family man, a citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with (him) on fundamental issues and that's what this campaign is all about."

He had drawn boos with his comment: "I have to tell you, he is a decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States."

Q: Which part of Virginia is communist country?

A: All of it.

News item: Sen. John McCain's brother, Joe, made an apparent joke today that Democratic-leaning Alexandria and Arlington are "Communist country."

News item: Key finding: McCain no longer leads in any region of the state.

Daddy!

I don't think that paternalism is the right word, but it was scarry to me to hear the constant lulling reminder of how strong McCain is and how he will keep this country safe from all the people who want to hurt us. What a view of the world.

And I liked how Chris Matthews used the term "communitarian" to refer to Democrats. So true, and yet still ringing with the slur-filled promise of "communi(s)t."

Hate Week begins for McCain's Republicans

Thanks to the nomination of Sarah Palin, we already know how it will end...

On the sixth day of Hate Week, after the processions, the speeches, the shouting, the singing, the banners, the posters, the films, the waxworks, the rolling of drums and squealing of trumpets, the tramp of marching feet, the grinding of the caterpillars of tanks, the roar of massed planes, the booming of guns - after six days of this, when the great orgasm was quivering to its climax and the general hatred of Eurasia had boiled up into such delirium that if the crowd could have got their hands on the 2,000 Eurasian war-criminals who were to be publicly hanged on the last day of the proceedings, they would unquestionably have torn them to pieces - at just this moment it had been announced that Oceania was not after all at war with Eurasia. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Eurasia was an ally.

There was, of course, no admission that any change had taken place. Merely it became known, with extreme suddenness and everywhere at once, that Eastasia and not Eurasia was the enemy.

The candidate who has repeatedly attacked his opponent for lack of experience is choosing a running mate with similarly little experience.

The candidate who has claimed that the overriding issue of this election is the threat of international terrorism -- and that his opponent is, because of a lack of experience, ill-suited to face down that threat -- is choosing a running mate who literally appears not to have formulated an opinion on the country's ongoing wars.

The candidate who has derided his opponent for not providing details on the "change" he would bring (despite that candidate's thorough public documentation of his specific differences with the policies of the current administration) is now preparing to stake his claim to the Presidency on the entirely vague notion that he (an ardent supporter of the current administration and longtime member of Congress) will bring "reform" to Washington.

Almost all of this candidate's partisan supporters are sure to accept this instantaneous, complete reversal at the end of their upcoming weeklong celebration, which will be punctuated by the moment the candidate becomes the nominee. Together they will stand, cheering, buried in confetti and balloons, never having been at war with Eurasia.

It was sabotage! The agents of Goldstein had been at work!

Watch a true asshole!

He even hints at the new welfare queen! The American family farmer. I mean, at this point, it's not even grasping at straws - it's just humping the money barrel.

hey, don't blame John Hagee, he didn't write it -- Jeremiah wrote it

Going in and out of biblical verse, Hagee preached: "'And they the hunters should hunt them,' that will be the Jews. 'From every mountain and from every hill and from out of the holes of the rocks.' If that doesn't describe what Hitler did in the holocaust you can't see that."

He goes on: "Theodore Hertzel is the father of Zionism. He was a Jew who at the turn of the 19th century said, this land is our land, God wants us to live there. So he went to the Jews of Europe and said 'I want you to come and join me in the land of Israel.' So few went that Hertzel went into depression. Those who came founded Israel; those who did not went through the hell of the holocaust.

"Then god sent a hunter. A hunter is someone with a gun and he forces you. Hitler was a hunter. And the Bible says—Jeremiah writing—'They shall hunt them from every mountain and from every hill and from the holes of the rocks,' meaning there's no place to hide. And that might be offensive to some people but don't let your heart be offended. I didn't write it, Jeremiah wrote it. It was the truth and it is the truth. How did it happen? Because God allowed it to happen. Why did it happen? Because God said my top priority for the Jewish people is to get them to come back to the land of Israel."

and if you believe Zogby, Kerry is running for his second term
