Ass-Hole NAZI Bill Cunningham Attacks OBAMA , McLame apologize
Edited on Tue Feb-26-08 03:28 PM by hasssan1
CINCINNATI (AP) — Republican John McCain quickly denounced the comments of a radio talk show host who while warming up a campaign crowd referred repeatedly to Barack Hussein Obama and called the Democrat a "hack, Chicago-style" politician.

Hussein is Obama's middle name, but talk show host Bill Cunningham used it three times as he addressed the crowd before the likely Republican nominee's appearance.

"Now we have a hack, Chicago-style Daley politician who is picturing himself as change. When he gets done with you, all you're going to have in your pocket is change," Cunningham said as the audience roared.

The time will come, Cunningham added, when the media will "peel the bark off Barack Hussein Obama" and tell the truth about his relationship with indicted fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko and how Obama got "sweetheart deals" in Chicago.

7. Good cop/bad cop--get surrogates to smear Dems, and then look like
a hero by telling the press you don't agree with it--don't buy it. It's a tactic.

8. McCain told a rotten "joke" about Chelsea Clinton some years back and lost any
respect I had for him. This is typical republican campaigning: put on someone to trash Democrats the "apologize". His "apology" is fake.

10. I call bullshit on his faux outrage..
why didn't he denounce him from the stage in front of the audience who had just been cheering him on?

2. Saw that on CNN
And if McCain is so sorry, why invite that guy in the first place? He is a righty talker and they usually have nothing but derogatory (slanderous?) remarks about any Democratic candidate. So I bet McCain at least had a clue about what that guy would say. If not, he certainly isn't fit to be president.

5. "all you're going to have in your pocket is change,"
Stolen from a poppy bush speech toward the end of the 92 campaign. Idiot asshole can't even come up with his own rhetoric.

6.  The Four-Hour Flap

The Four-Hour Flap


That was fast. In a mere four hours, an insult was hurled, an apology offered, and an acceptance announced. That could well be a record for presidential campaigns.

At an event in Cincinnati, talk radio host Bill Cunningham gave a speech endorsing John McCain in which he referred three times to “Barack Hussein Obama.”

Before the story could make the rounds, McCain’s people said they “do not agree” with Cunningham’s statement. “I never met Mr. Cunningham,” McCain said, “but I will make sure nothing like that ever happens again.”

Obama’s camp was equally quick with an acceptance. “We appreciate Senator McCain’s remarks,” said spokesman Bill Burton in statement. “It is a sign that if there is a McCain-Obama general election, it can be intensely competitive but the candidates will attempt to keep it respectful and focused on issues.”
