"Obama has never done a hard thing in his life."
That's what some Republican Strategist/tool/fool (who looks scarily like John McCain's brother) just said on MSNBC.
They are out of control with these overstatements.
I'm sure he was thinking "in Washington," but he said "in his life!"
Really?
Like graduating law school, let alone Harvard law, is easy?
Like even getting into Harvard Law school is easy?
Like being a minority and making it to Harvard is easy?
Like passing up literally HUNDREDS of high paying jobs upon gradutaing law school to become a community organizer is easy?
Please feel free to add to the list...

John McCain is a fool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=henMX35nkJg
Sarah Palin is a tool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdRrqkgTGNk
John McCain is a hot head: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_Dhxu-6l98

9. This is ugly
but it saved the taxpayers some dollars. Why they ever let him fly again after the second plane is beyond me.

22. I have to wonder if there is any other pilot in naval aviation history
that has crashed as many planes (outside of test piloting and combat situations) as McCain and not had his flight status revoked?

33. Look - it's a slam, a slur, another lie and that is all. It's so easy for pukes to
slap a label on people who don't travel the same life path's that they do, this is another example of turning one's strength into a weapon and THAT was my point.

11. Republican Racist Campaigning is in full swing. I hope it is out of touch
with a large majority of 21st century voters.

13. I think that statement is GOP code for "He's never been to war."
That's all.

27. He's been white.
This is all about spreading the "lazy negro" cliche that they use on Welfare recipients.

This is racism pure and simple.

34. That's not hard. Goiing to war is hard. Dubya would never know about that.
He wore a codpiece and jumped down on an aircraft carrier in San Diego.

30. McCain himself has pointed out that Obama has never served in war, never
Edited on Tue Oct-07-08 11:42 AM by wienerdoggie
served in the military--the GOP wouldn't use "code" for that, they'd say it outright. But that's not what this guy is saying. He's saying Obama has had a free ride all his life, despite his achievements. That's code for something racial.

19. It's a stupid, silly statement that serves to demean the life of one person over that of an other.
And, it's so damn typical of them.

26. Sure. If it's code for "not a veteran", then Palin should step down and Randi Rhodes should take
her place.

36. No, it's code for "He doesn't work hard like YOU do, he's an affirmative action layabout."
McFool gets no benefit of the doubt on this one.

18. That's a couple degrees away from "LAZY BLACK MAN!"
Cause I'd say busting your ass to get good enough grades to get a scholarship to college (since he wasn't born with a silver spoon up his ass like Dubya or Johnny Mac), becoming the first AA editor of the Harvard Law Review, and getting elected to the US Senate in a year that was, frankly, awful for Democrats is a decent laundry list by itself.

20. They are a pack of fucking rats in the corner
They are desperate.
All I'm hearing now on Cable is the constant repeating of how McNasty is tanking in the polls.
It is being aired in a repetitive loop.
They are losing and they damn well know it.
They are desperately slinging the mud and throwing the last second "Hail Mary".
They are TOAST!

They even took away the rake...he was so dangerous...he is reduced to picking up trash in those photo ops....

John Mccain behind by 7-9 points.ANd since when does a half Black half White Man have It easy?
