Despicable: McCain & child sexual predators

I wonder why I’m always surprised. I saw it before, I expected it, saw it coming, and yet here it is, and I’m surprised and shocked. No, I’m fucking stunned! I see it, I’m looking right at it, and I still don’t quite believe it.

Maybe its kind of like the old Russian peasants, starving, cold and miserable, yet still believed that the Czar loved them, it was his minister’s fault, if he knew how his people suffered, he would be furious, he would have those lying courtiers knouted.

I’d still like to believe John McCain doesn’t know whats being done in his name. There’s still some of that left in me, something that still wants to believe that this is a contest between honorable men who simply disagree.

And the horror of horrors, the cherry atop the turd sundae? Obama refuses to fight shit with shit, and may lose because of it. I love democracy with every fiber of my being, but God Allmighty, what a bitch she can be!

Elaborate, pretty please.

There’s this one and there’s this one.

Rove is starting to feel his oats, I think. Of course, he’s also trying to keep himself out of prison, so I guess he’s extra motivated.

I think Obama’s official response was good, but he better not let this go.

From here (bolding mine).

I can’t think of the last time that Scylla and Diogenes the Cynic agreed in a political thread. Maybe McCain really is bringing Americans together.

Hold up, I want to clarify this: Obama wants to pass pamphlets out to kindergarteners warning them of Mr. Badtouch, how to avoid him, and what to do if he comes a’callin’?

I don’t know. How many times can you let a guy slime you and still keep giving him the POW Honor Pass? McCain damn near called Obama a child molester in that ad. For a guy who promised he wouldn’t go negative, that seems kind of negative.

Don’t worry, friend 'luci, the gloves have come off. Not only have the come out with an ad that actually doesn’t pull any punches and outright calls McCain and Palin liars, but they’re now pegging him with having no honor, and they’re hitting him hard.

And the best the McShame camp could come up with was yet another version of Noun Verb P.O.W.

I have a feeling that Karl Rove has finally met his match. Not in getting down in the dirt along with him, but for strongly, angrily and vehemently calling them what they are - dishonorable, filthy liars.

Had to look to be sure, but there it is: “I’m John McCain, and I approved this message”.

Damn.

Sam Stone too. And Sam agreed with me TWICE today. I wonder if it has anything to do with that atom smasher they’re turning on tomorrow.

Thank you for putting that image into my head.

Well, even if it was more comprehensive than just teaching them to avoid pedophiles/sex offenders, is that so bad? Learning about sex ed doesn’t mean doing it.

All the more reason not to vote for that bastard McCain. I’m getting more and more fed up with him every day. I’m going to write-in a candidate instead. I was going to vote for Tom Laughlin but now I’m contemplating going for Mickey Mouse or The Incredible Hulk.

Anybody? Bueller?

Well, I doubt there would be pamplets. Most kindergarteners haven’t started reading yet.

No.

Oh…you were serious?

No.

This is negative campaigning at its finest/slimiest. Poor show, McCain.

Yeah, but you’re going to vote for him now, because of how rude you think Obama’s supporters have been, in calling out his cynically political and deeply offensive pick for a vice president.

You’d rather subject the rest of us to having a dishonorable prick like him running our country, than for yourself have to put up with people being mean to someone you don’t even know on a message board. Boo fucking hoo and fuck you, you jerk.

I don’t get it. I don’t like the ad either but the ‘one accomplishment’ says simply teaching sex education to primary schoolers. Nothing about sexual predators. Seems more like an attack ad that purports to highlight Obama’s lack of accomplishment.

Seems to me you guys are reading far too much into it.
