McCain has no comment on anti-Obama book (actually says: "gotta keep your sense of humor")
Source: AP

ASPEN, Colo. (AP) — John McCain's presidential campaign had no comment Friday about a controversial book that attacks Barack Obama and many say is riddled with errors.

Jerome Corsi's book, "The Obama Nation," depicts the Democratic candidate as a dangerous, radical figure filled with "black rage." It repeats numerous falsehoods, such as the claim that Obama, who is a Christian, is a Muslim.

The Obama campaign and its allies have criticized the book forcefully, citing dozens of assertions that they say are inaccurate. Corsi has espoused a number of unorthodox views, including claims that the federal government was untruthful about what caused New York City's Twin Towers to collapse after being struck by hijacked jets on Sept. 11, 2001.

...

An Associated Press reporter tried to ask McCain for a comment Friday in Aspen as journalists were being escorted from a brief photo opportunity. McCain smiled and said, "gotta keep your sense of humor."

Campaign spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan said McCain did not hear the question, and the campaign had no comment.

Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor said in a statement, "What does John McCain think is funny about an intolerant smear artist who called Pope John Paul II senile and claims the government lied about 9/11?"

14. Those aren't fair

Most of those things are true. To be a good comparison, you'd have to tell all lies.

3. I think McCain's sense of humor leans toward
wife beating, water-boarding and Chelsea Clinton jokes. He is an evil despicable man, POW or not, he does not have my respect anymore. It's funny because I used to say he was the only puke I might ever consider voting for (back in 2000, right before he was lobotomized :crazy: )

24. And don't forget...
this is the same asshole who thinks a joke about a woman being raped by a gorilla and liking it is a real knee-slapper. I'm so sick of hearing what a hero this piece of shit is. He is a sick (mentally and physically) old man who embodies pretty much everything that makes me HATE republicans. We've already had one immature, ignorant, dishonest and completely morally lacking president for 8 years, how can ANYONE think that 4 more years of the same fuck 99% of all Americans and the rest of the world (except the Saudis) is a good idea is beyond me.

4. Sense of humor?
Okay, asswipe...

You rape little children. I have unimpeachable sources and multiple footnotes.
You've killed six people while driving drunk. I haven't heard you refute that yet.
Your wife, whom you accurate refer to as a cunt, is current screwing Bill Clinton and Rush Limbaugh in a threesome while the Pope looks on. It was posted on a website by someone with logon name wryter2000, so it must be accurate.

Finding any of these funny, asshole?

6. Sense of humor... like calling his wife...
a cunt, divorcing his first wife because she was disfigured, having an affair in the meantime, joking that his current wife should be in a wet tee-shirt contest, and bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran.

Let's hope he keeps his sense of humor when he gets crucified in debate.

21. I'd never ask for anything again if he went nuclear at one of the debates.

Of course, that's if he can get over his case of Fred Thompsonitis...

15. Wish people would stop calling this POS a 'controversial book'
that gives it FAR too much legitimacy - as if to imply there's any question of whether the content is anything but a bloated sack of LIES.

17. This will be the standard response for all of McCain's gaffes.

"Campaign spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan said McCain did not hear the question, and the campaign had no comment."

If he didn't hear the question, why did he answer it?

18. BTW Gramps, how's that sweet little lobbyist you're nailing?..
Vicky somebody? Looks a lot like Miss Cindy did about 20 years ago. What'd you give her in return for her favors, a little quid pro quo between the sheets?

Keep your sense of humor Johnny-cakes!
