Mccain: Reject, denounce and fire Charlie Black over these outrageous comments and apologize!!
Charlie Black said today that the deaths of thousands of innocent American men, women, and children would be a huge advantage to John Mccain. This is an outrageous statement that is beneath contempt and almost seems like the fool is hoping that the terrorists will dig Mccain out of the hole that the GOP has dug for the U.S. over the years.

Senator Obama and the democrats should launch a full-court press over this. Perhaps, they should even demand the resignation of Charlie Black for musing about murders helping his candidate and Senator Obama himself should demand a renunciation, reupdiation and apology from Senator Mccain directly to him but more importantly to the American people whose murders he would apparently welcome for the political advantage it would provide.

Outrageous and proof that the GOP thugs have used terror as a political card since Sept. 11, 2001.

I am so mad.

Still, they are playing the politics of fear with surrogates...

2. Why?
I love it that he has advisors that say really, really stupid things in public and do nothing but hurt his chances in the election. He should hire about a dozen more of them, as far as I am concerned.

3. That's a good point-I hope there's a mistake a day like this
from now until the election. However, Senator Obama should still pound him for it.

7. Well, yeah...
but in order for that to work you'll still need people to be outraged.

8. That's true.
Do you really think that most people won't be outraged by that statement. There is no way that I can think of to spin that into something that is just about the most inflammatory thing he could have said. He basically said that a terrorist attack would help his candidate.

9. I think most people will never hear it...
unless enough people get outraged by it.

4. Do you think he's "planting" these opportunities to denounce
talking heads such as this to make himself sound 'fair and balanced'? Can't remember quite what they were, but didn't he come out earlier in the campaign and say these 'heads' were unfairly criticizing something Obama said? I remember thinking at the time, "Well, that played right into your hands didn't it? Making you sound like one of the good guys." There have been a few other instances since then. Makes me think they're choreographed.
