McCain Ad: Obama A Hypocrite


Looking increasingly desperate, Republican presidential candidate John McCain today released another ad attacking rival Barack Obama, whom McCain and his ominous narrator call a “hypocrite” and a liar.

The commercial centers around a question McCain’s been raising a lot lately, “Who is Barack Obama?”
That line of inquiry is meant, of course, to raise doubts among voters who are inclined to answer in the negative.

GOP presidential nominee John McCain has past connections to a private group that supplied aid to guerrillas seeking to overthrow the leftist government of Nicaragua in the Iran-Contra affair.

McCain’s ties are facing renewed scrutiny after his campaign criticized Barack Obama for his link to a former radical who engaged in violent acts 40 years ago.

The U.S. Council for World Freedom was part of an international organization linked to former Nazi collaborators and ultra-right-wing death squads in Central America. The group was dedicated to stamping out communism around the globe.

Hypocricy? lets talk about John McCain. Who, before his campain really took off, promised the American public through an appearance on The Daily Show with John Stewart that he would NOT pander to the religious right and the likes of Jerry Fallwell, and then did just that after his campain picked up, even giving a speech at Falwell’s school.

And for those who want to know “Who Is McCain?”, they should do some research into the spoiled, erratic, hot-headed, reckless, destructive behavior Johnny Mac has exhibited throughout his life.

Rolling Stone’s “Make-Believe Maverick”:

Hardly an unbiased article but extremely revelatory. Read it. Share it.

So now he’s no longer a racist. He’s “desperate”.

He just should lay on the floor and let Obama walk all over him and not inform the American people about who really Obama is or at least try to decipher him. “Rolling Stone” “unbiased”, as unbiased as an african American once he/she enters the voting booth on November 4.

Do read and inquiry on both sides and you’ll see Who Is Who?

hahahahahaha

Accusations of bias from someone whose posts are skewed negatively against blacks about 95% of the time.

That is rich. Rich with hypocrisy.

Once again, Churchill-y, you got it 100% right:

McCain really SHOULD “lay on the floor and let Obama walk all over him”. It would be far less of a disgrace than having a proven hypocrite and liar, which McCain undeniably is, trying to make the case against his opponent with unsubstantiated claims that said opponent is a hypocrite and a liar. He would really save himself a lot of degradation by just lying on the floor. I’ve said it before, and I repeat it now, Church: you are good at this!

Looks like this year we are able to choose our candidate not only by his policies, but by thinking, is he a lesser liar. So, voters, defend your choice – who is competing honorably, and who is a bigger liar – Obama or McCain? http://www.votetheday.com/amer.....r-liar-282
