McCain giving the commencement at Falwell's Liberty Univ. is FAR worse than Obama/Wright assoc
First, McCain was endored by 2 religious kooks within the last few weeks....But more important than that, in 2000, John McCain called Falwell & his ilk "agents of intolerance"....Then in 2005, McCain gave the commencement address at Falwell's Liberty University (talk about flip-flopping)....We all know the repulsive statements Falwell made in the days after 9/11 (gays, ACLU, caused 9/11 blah blah blah), & I'm sure the tape is out there to refresh anyones memory...

So if Republicans make a big fucking deal out of Pastor Wright, just play the damn video of Falwell & his rants (not just the one after 9/11, but anything earlier that's equally stupid) & then show the video of McCain giving the commencement at his college - that would make for a great political ad, and Moveon.org (among others) would have a field day with it.....

Falwell spewed his hateful rhetoric for over 30 years before he died....And John McCain CANNOT escape his association with that SOB, he GAVE THE COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS AT HIS FUCKING UNIVERSITY!.......

2. I agree. This will be bumpy for a day or two but Obama will recover
Luckily, both sides have problems with the Religious people they are affiliated with but I think McCain has even more problems if they are brought out.
