"Obama retracted his [racist] accusations and we're thankful and ready to move on."
Tucker Bounds just said that. As did McCain yesterday. Obama retracted NOTHING because he never accused McCain of being a racist. What BULL. Even the media (of course) is playing Obama's remarks as "stepping back from his accusations." He did NOT! He just repeated what he said, but said it s-l-o-w-l-y so everyone could understand, and they paint it as "retracting his claim of racism." It's unbelievable how unfair the media is to Obama.

1. Disgusting.
They not only engage in vicious, unfounded attacks, they lie and put words in his mouth. Fuck McCain. I have nothing but contempt for this piece of shit and his fucking minions. If they manage to steal the election, I'm going Bolshevik on their asses.

8. I'd have to disagree with that statement...
...They're not a bunch of fucking paid liars.

I doubt they get much sex at all. They're a bunch of pent-up, sexually frustrated, overpaid lying jackoffs.

Nice to see your posts again! :)

19. You may have just hit on something!

Perhaps we should just hire hookers for the media?

3. Unfortunately it's not unbelievable to me..but
it is getting more and more outta bounds as their desperation excelerates.

The media who got away with giving Americans 8 years of bush and the War On Iraq and now they want to give us the doddering liar whose reputation for a hair trigger temper has some republicans voting against him.

You know mccain's on his best behavior now and it ain't pretty. What would happen if he gets all the power his grubby hands can imagine?

9. Maybe because the media wants the narrative that a guy whose party has only a
25% approval rating could beat the "super popular" Obama.

6. Yeah. He called Obama a "celebrity" again and his supporters "fans."
And when Obama calls him out on it the media claims HE'S "going negative," too.

16. He is one smiling liar.
Lying out of his ass and trying to blame Obama for what the McCain
camp is doing.

Any link to his bio?

7. I think that the McCain campaign is playing to the
low-information voter. I expect they will have some success, but I hope that success will be limited to the states that already are solidly Republican. I would guess that these states have more low information voters than blue states.

No better than the band of criminals who have occupied the White House for the past eight years.

21. The mainstream media bias is obvious, they want McCain.
I don't think many people will be swayed by the latest horseshit about the racist comments made by McCain's campaign, but the media has decided that they want McCain.

Obama should stop the daily "tit for tat" with McCain.
The media only reports if from McCain's perspective.

24. Exactly how can a Black man be a racist
unless he says something like "Kill Whitey" ?

Obama is a racist like I am a magical elf. :banghead:
