First thoughts: a bad week for everyone
MSNBC First Read ^ | March 21, 2008 | Chuck Todd and Mark Murray

A bad week for everyone: While it may be hard to compare weeks during this campaign, we imagine there haven’t been many that have been this bad for all three campaigns. It was an odd war of attrition, a contest of who had the LESS bad week. For McCain, it was his Shiite-Sunni gaffe, which allowed Democrats to have a field day criticizing his understanding of Iraq, as well as his commander-in-chief credentials. For Clinton, it was the failure to have re-votes in Florida and Michigan, which makes her path toward winning the Democratic much, much more difficult. But hands down, no one had a tougher week than Obama. Just look at the post-Rev. Wright/pre-race speech poll numbers that are still circulating; it's what makes the Clinton and McCain folks think their week went better than Obama’s did. That said, two developments that occurred last night -- the news that Bill Richardson is endorsing Obama and the breach of his passport records -- have changed the subject, at least in the short term. But we do have this question for the Obama campaign: Why did it leak that photo of Wright with Bill Clinton? Doesn’t that just give cable networks another excuse to run the video of Wright? How does that turn the page? It was an odd decision to say the least.

This is a laughable stretch to try to make it seem that McCain, who pulled ahead of Obama with a stunning 18 point turn around among Independents, had a bad week because these to liberal idiots wish he did. Notice they mention Mccain's supposed "gaffe" first. I defy anyone to find three people who are likely voters who have A) heard of this, B) care C) will now change their vote from McCain to Obama. Puleeeeeeeeeeeeze!

If this is the worst they have on McCain, they're doomed. Well, they're doomed anyway.

Liberals don't care about the truth if it's at odds with their agenda. They refuse to see the obvious link between Shia and Sunni terrorist. Only an idiot doesn't understand that moslums will always join with other moslums to fight against an infidel. The democrats are either too stupid or too arrogant to see that fact.

MSNBC as well as Stephanopolos are collective REALLY stupid people who are trying to convince us that McCain’s misunderstandings of two or three matters is as BAD as a potential Antichrist and his false prophet spouting racist and antisemitic hatred? And the fact that another Democrat candidate is bug-ugly and has a voice like an air raid siren?

I quote Ralph Kramden here, ANOTHER TV personality full of lies and hot air: Har-dee-har-har!

Here’s postmodernism delivered to your door.

Relativism: Obama’s lying and running for cover = McCain’s verbal mistake = Hillary’s attempt to have uncounted primaries count

How are any of these three in the same sphere?

Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes truth. No doubt this mother-f_cker will be on “Hardball” tonite repeating it again for the sheeple.

A bad week for everyone. I had a great week. First my libtard Gov. had to resign in shame. Obama has damaged his GE chances, but not his chance at the nomination. Hillary is encouraged to keep fighting, and the Dem civil war continues. Hell!!! Its been a great week.

Talk about bad weeks

Obama threw his grandmother under his “We Are the Ones” bus and the bus was killed.
