McCain surrogate says it is outrage for Obama to use 767 jet to "visit grandma"

[SuperTrouper]

His name is Brad something and Shuster was just laughing at him. This Brad a-hole was defending Palin's $150,000 Wardrobegate and attacking Obama as "spending money like a drunken sailor". It is shocking how unhinged these people have become! :wow:

[graywarrior]

1. He was laughed at.

It was great!

[alsame]

4. Shuster was great, wasn't he? "Nice try, Brad". LOL

[skooooo]

5. Yeah the MSNBC guy said..

..."I'll give you points for trying."
:rofl:

[Cha]

12. I'll give him demerits for being an

a$$hole jerk.

[high density]

2. Umm, it's his charter jet

What do they want him to do, start flying on commercial flights? I'm sure the press and secret service would love that.

[skooooo]

8. Yes the Repub. said Obama ought to be schlepping onto a commercial flight..

..instead of wasting money and energy. Can you believe that??

[high density]

21. So stupid

Obama is very likely going to be president elect of the USA in a few days, and they want him to start flying on commercial flights? That's insanity.

[Supersedeas]

37. and schlepping the Secret Service with him....if there is room...if not...too bad...right Bradley

[justiceischeap]

39. So, how does that work with a Secret Service detail

and a small press pool? Does this nitwit really want to get people to start looking at McCain's* jet usage? Or Palin's? Did her preggo daughter fly home on a commercial flight? Did Levi come to the convention on a commercial flight?

Yes, let's open this can of worms when the AP reported just yesterday that Palin used taxpayer money to fly her children around Alaska.

[Dr. Death]

3. They're just mad that humans came down out of the trees

and started using fire.

McCain remembers what it was like before that, by golly, and he'll take us back to the good ol' days!

[liberal N proud]

6. How can they make such attacks while defending their own?

It is mind numbing to try is determine these creeps thought process

[ellie]

7. What is he

supposed to do? Swim?

[skooooo]

11. Evidentally, he's supposed to get on ...

...Travelocity and look up a commercial flight.

[jberryhill]

16. Call William Shatner and negotiate airfare on Priceline apparently /nt

[Cha]

18. Yes.

[ericgtr]

9. Republicans have black hearts

They would sell their mothers soul for nothing more than a single vote. Fuck this guy and fuck his party.

[ErinBerin84]

10. it's ok.

Brad is notorious for being a Repub strategist who "goes there", looks ridiculous, and generally gets made fun of. He was a Bush aide for Christ sake.

[skooooo]

13. He's not as nasty as some of them....

Some of the Repub. pundits are just completely vile and nasty about everything.

[ErinBerin84]

19. true

Lars Larson is worse..

[madaboutharry]

14. Brad Blakeman is a wacko.

I have never heard him make any sense.

[TornadoTN]

15. Priceless, especially in the wake of Palin's $150,000 shopping spree and makeup expenses

I can imagine the throngs of Americans groaning at this bullshit. They are out of touch and on their way out. Suck it up and get on board, or get the hell out!

[City Lights]

17. McScum spokesbots are so out of touch it's almost unbelievable.

I'm glad Shuster is laughing at him to his face. What a great insult! :rofl:

[SmokingJacket]

20. I would donate specially for a "OB's Grandma Fund."

So I, as one donor, am not outraged.

[DeschutesRiver]

40. I am not outraged either. And for all we know, Obama may be footing the bill for using the plane

it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. If I were Obama, and needed to pay someone to fly me to Hawaii to visit a sick relative, why wouldn't I pay for my campaign plan to do so, instead of paying American Airlines or such to do it? I'd imagine anytime for the last year or so that Obama wanted to do anything personal, he would have been smarter to pay to take his own campaign's plane; commercial flight becomes a logistics nightmare once you run for office. Is he supposed to walk everywhere? But that gets outside of the point of who said he wasn't paying for his flight there?

Has this Brad douchebag even addressed the issue of how he knows that Obama is or isn't reimbursing the campaign for this use? Is Obama going to combine visiting his grandma with campaign business?

Did this guy address any of that? Or just say, because he is flying on the plane, he must be charging his donors for it, like Ms. Palin is?

[Parche]

22. I Thought Obama Had 757?

:shrug: :hi:

[bklyngrl60]

23. I've been lurking here but am posting now because I just gasped out loud when he said this...

You need to correct to your subject line, Blakeman didn't say "sick" - he said: "visit grandma" and that Barack should be "humping his bags on a commercial plane". Holy Moly it was a vile sentiment. I'm still slightly nauseous.

I nominate Brad Blakeman for tonight's Worst Person in the World.

[nc4bo]

24. Welcome to DU bklyngrl60!

:hi:

[SuperTrouper]

25. Correction doe. And indeed he is today's Worst person in the World

[Left Is Write]

27. Perhaps Keith will mention him in worst persons tonight.

[skooooo]

28. Welcome!

Yeah, they're just in complete meltdown and saying stupid things all over the place now!

Glad to have you at DU!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

29. Welcome to DU bklyngrl60l!!!

:hi:

[Pirate Smile]

31. Welcome to DU, bklyngrl60.

Blakeman is a slimeball.

I think if they go after Obama on this, most people will just think they are assholes.

:hi:

[kestrel91316]

33. In that context, I'm surprised he didn't call him an "uppity n----r".

The nerve of that BLACK MAN to be able to charter a jet to fly him around.........

[Rocknrule]

26. I guess it is possible to remain alive with no heart

[ShortnFiery]

30. Gutter politics! Shame on ---> Brad the Asshole Extradodinare.

:grr: :nuke:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

32. They can try to spin, but they look stupid

[WinkyDink]

34. WTH CARES ANYMORE what Republicans THINK or SAY?? They are EVIL, LYING LOSERS.

Why post every jot and tittle of thier moronic, ignorant rants??

[calmblueocean]

43. "Evil, lying losers." So succinct, so true!

Gotta work that into my conversations a little more. Once the election is over. :)

[chomper]

35. Obama is superman

I think he wants Obama to put on a superman outfit and fly to Hawaii without an airplane. Nut!

[barack the house]

36. There attacks are just becoming funny now. No issues no ideas.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

38. As someone helping to foot the bill for that 767, all I ask is Obama say "hi" to grandma for me.

Then get back on that plane and finish McCain's asswhuppin'.

[applegrove]

41. Like the SS wants Obama on a commercial jet LOL!

[Deep13]

42. Someone has to stand up to Obama's wanton grandma-visiting.

Damn, looks like McCain is courting the anti-grandma vote.
