McCain Campaign & VP Palin Crushed by CNN- McCain Cancels Larry King Live Interview Due to Embarrassment

[jennied]

1. If McCain can't handle that interview, how can he handle running the country??

[D23MIURG23]

22. Seriously.

If he can't face Larry King, how will he face Bin Laden?

:evilgrin:

[sasquatch]

2. Typical McCain totallitarian tactics

[Gato Moteado]

3. what a weak campaign they have

campbell brown just asked this dimbulbed dipshit a simple question and he couldn't answer it.

i guess McCorpse was afraid someone on cnn might actually ask him a question during the course of the interview. i've seen McCorpse respond to questions....he always seems to have problems.

[RoyGBiv]

4. Cute little microphone ya got there ...

He must have been the only one who had one o' them thar nifty gadgets in the car, so he got the spokesman job by default.

I got to play a vampire once when I was a kid 'cause I was the only one who had the fake teeth.

'Course I wasn't really a vampire.

5. bullsh(t this makes me so angry

WTF? McCain is blackmailing a NEWS station. NEWS is the foundation of our democracy. He is saying if you DARE ask a question about a statement they have put forth, he will pull his interviews from the entire network?

A question any REASONABLE journalist would have to ask in order to maintain their own integrity, as the statement was blatantly false and misleading.

In other words, if you won't go along with MY LIES, I will punish you via blackmail of no-access to the republican party nominee? This is the most outrageous thing I have ever heard. He should be asked to step down for this. I mean, it is literally spitting on the rights of a free press.

CENSORSHIP thy name is MACCAIN/PALIN

this is so ANTI-AMERICAN I am outraged.

[CitizenPatriot]

6. seriously, I could use some words of comfort here

I thought the palin thing enraged me more than ever, but now I am watching the very last vestige of our democracy being publicly shite on and NO ONE will say shite about it!

WTF? I think I am going to cry.

[pokercat999]

16. Relax the President and most of his administration are

war criminals responsible for 100s of thousands of deaths if not more than a million. Most of the Democratic party officials in the congress went along to get along. This (refusing to go on CNN) is small potatoes. You have been screwed first by the rethugs then by Polosi and crew and in the near future by McSame and company should they "win".

Do everything you can to insure a Obama/Biden win that cannot be stolen. Should Obama/Biden be elected we need to do everything in our power to help them remember their promises to us. That's all we can do.

[CitizenPatriot]

21. I iam working every day on the campaign

I posted about that yesterday

I know how they've fuc*ed our constitution
our doj
our occ
our 3 arms of govt

some semblance of a free press is all we have-- without that, we really are a fascist country.

I'm sorry, but this upsets me deeply.

Mostly because it will never be discussed for what it is - blackmail of the country's press.

I am in the media, so perhaps this upsets me more than others. I've been watching this go down the shit*er for ten years. the fact is, people will talk about how he is whiner, a baby, etc -- and that's great. But no one will say he is manipulating the press by denying them access. a President isn't supposed to do that. Is this how he's going to govern? pick and choose his media? yes, we all know * does this. But this is taking that policy to the next level.

well, thanks for trying anyway - but I am working everyday on the campaign. our team got a call from Obama himself yesterday for setting some records in the country. I'm very happy about that.

[L. Coyote]

29. This too will pass (in Nov.)

Think ahead. Plan for a shining city on a hill, and a new Attorney General hunting criminals.

[CitizenPatriot]

34. thank you:-)

I needed that. Some days are harder than others. It;s a new day -- and I'm off in a few hours to go round up some new voters. woo hoo!

gotta keep the crazies out of the wh.

[4lbs]

7. Is this 'hiding' a code word for something else?

Like say, getting an MRI done so that his handlers can figure out what the heck he was thinking and what was wrong with him in choosing Palin?

[americanyouth]

10. Does anyone else think that Palin was a last minute image choice that was supposed to make mccain

not look like such a crusty old white man?

[4lbs]

11. Then it failed miserably.

Because nothing says "old dirty geezer that is out of touch" like a 70 year old gray-haired white guy hugging a 40-something naughty librarian. :D

I've seen Cinemax late night movies like this.

[Forrest Greene]

26. Maybe Not So Much Crusty

...as crusted?

[asdjrocky]

8. You've got to be kidding.

With all the crap they've said about Obama, and the cry about this? Unbelievable.

[4lbs]

9. It's the classic bully mentality.

Bullies can dish it out, but if they get any in return, they whine then run and hide after being proverbially "punched in the nose".

[Muttocracy]

12. I don't know much about Campbell Brown but she's having none of this Palin shit

This is the 2nd video I've seen her on where she's grilled them and pointed out the absurdity.

[cynthia]

13. a link to the first video?

you say this is the second video, what was the first? I like her perseverance. She's not having any of their bullshit. In the end it seemed like she let it go because they ran out of time.

[Muttocracy]

14. I probably won't be able to dig it up - sometime a few days ago

it was nearly an identical situation - some McBush rep talking over her and not answering her question.

[4lbs]

17. Here it is....

It was the "Campbell Brown smacks down Tucker Bounds" thread posted earlier this week.

[Muttocracy]

24. thank you!

[IndependentDem]

15. if Obama backed out of an interview he would be labeled as a "Liberal Pussy"

and it would be all over the place. I guess McCain expects the media to edit every interview to make sure they look good.

[janethussein]

19. I just read some of the excerpts of missy "soul-mate's"

speech tonight and I AM PISSED ! All of the b.s. about how Biden should walk on egg shells when they debate is pure crap. missy soul-mate is going for Obama's jugular tonight and she damned well better be prepared for Biden's retaliation.
:mad: :mad:

[IndependentDem]

20. yeah, but she will just play the gender card... i hope people don't fall for it. nt

[Jack Rabbit]

18. Tucker Bounds was indeed embarrassing

The argument that Governor Palin has more command experience than Sentaor Obama or Senator Biden because she is the CiC of the Alaska National Guard and more foreign policy experience because Alaska shares a border with Russia is a parody on itself. Does this shit come from the McCain campaign or Saturday Night Live?

The most casual observer making any attempt whatsoever to be objective will conclude that Senator Obama is lightyears ahead of Governor Palin in his qualifications to be president.

[L. Coyote]

30. Harvard Law summa cum laude vs. a BS in journalism at Boise State!

I think people know the differnce between the head of the class at Harvard Law and a beauty queen runner-up.

At least Bush got into the Ivy league. Oophs, his daddy got him in.

[Jack Rabbit]

35. Oh.

I know you mean Barack Obama as opposed to Sarah Palin, but as a caveat I am not impressed with comparing the credentials.

These days, it is almost safe to assume that anybody with a Harvard MBA or a degree from Yale is an idiot.

[Seldona]

23. Someone call the WAMBULANCE!

Great! The less coverage the better. The fact that he couldn't answer the question is hilarious!

[stark6935]

25. You gotta be kidding me.

I knew they said they wouldn't do an interview over something stupid like that, but... The guy was a total fool, and they did nothing wrong.

[Plucketeer]

27. SO..... McCain withstood the torture of the Hanoi Hilton

but he can't take half an hour with Larry King? LOL!!!! :rofl:

[L. Coyote]

31. Putin must be ROFLHAO too!

[Third Doctor]

32. Awww

He has another meltdown didn't he...

[Alcibiades]

28. What a whiner

Calling a governor someone who has has "military command experience" is a lie. To stick with that lie, and then whine about being called on it....

What a baby. No, that's disrespectful to babies. So much for McCain and his "straight talk." Obama's going on Fox, and McCain won't even speak to CNN.

Can we have more journalists with the spine to call them on their BS now, please?

[L. Coyote]

33. Whiners grow up to be .... Never mind, they don't.
