Has McCain addressed his campaign's racist attacks on Obama?
Edited on Sun Oct-05-08 08:10 PM by ProSense
October 05, 2008

Why We Campaign...

Bobby May is part of the John McCain-Sarah Paliin Virginia Leadership Team, and Treasurer of the Buchanan County (VA) Republican Party:



Abraham Lincoln, William Seward, Thaddeus Stevens, and Ulysses Simpson Grant are rolling over in their graves as I write.

John McCain: Despicable, dishonest, dishonorable.

Has McCain addressed this racist asshole's column?

McCain's entire campaign is taking on a racist tone.

“The last four weeks of this election will be about whether the American people are willing to turn our economy and national security over to Barack Obama, a man with little record, questionable judgment, and ties to radical figures like unrepentant domestic terrorist William Ayers. Americans need to ask themselves if they’ve ever befriended an unrepentant terrorist, or had a convicted felon help them buy their house — because those aren’t smears, those are true facts about Barack Obama.” —Tucker Bounds, spokesman McCain-Palin 2008

5. Well, if he approves of those messages,
he's a racist. Why is the media giving him a pass on this column?

7. LOL - just caught a glimpse of the nutso article under "statehood"
one listed was Bugtussle. I laugh because that is the Oklahoma hometown of former speaker Carl Albert.
