LAKEVILLE, Minn. -- Sen. John McCain spoke out against the growing nastiness his Republican crowds have been demonstrating toward Barack Obama, asking that his presidential rival be treated with respect.
At a town hall meeting Friday afternoon, he took four different opportunities to promise that he will treat the Democratic nominee with respect and to ask the same of his supporters.
Still, his campaign is hardly backing down. On Friday, it released a TV ad linking Sen. Obama to a 1960s radical.
At the town hall meeting, one audience member said that he and his wife are expecting a child next year. "Frankly, we're scared. We're scared of an Obama presidency," the questioner said.

If he should win[ steal the election ], Hussein will NEVER BE MY PRESIDENT!
No neoMarxists.
No ACORN.
No Obama.
He is dragging his chances down like an anchor.
If I was Sara Palin I would be pissed he asked me to take so much flack then he puts up so little effort.

Sorry, he has to earn my respect. Which he has not, yet. I can respect him as a human created by God (one that got through his own partial-birth abortion fingers) but he is a sleazy, lying, conniving piggie at the trough and I do not respect that, no how, no way.
I’ll show him a moon.
Same here.
That's why "The Great Uniter" is only going to make matters worse in this country.
I didn't like Clinton but he was still the President of the United States to me.
This isn't going to happen with Barack HUSSEIN Obama and I'm sure we are not alone in our feelings.
I intend to treat Comrade Zero with all the deference, respect and cooperation the left showed President Bush from day one.
Obama, the guy who told his supporters to “get in their faces” deserves respect. Give me a break.
Don’t you know any one that can NAIL a person and still be a lady or gentleman....?
IMO All Mc Cain has to do is state short facts about each controversy and Obama’s reply/excuses : ACORN, Africa/Cousin,Ayers and then state: “That’s the “A”, We haven’t gotten to the “B” yet .... pause....Obama’s a Chicago Politician. America knows how to use the internet!
Actually it would make a great SNL skit if it weren’t so serious.
Funny, I’m watching Sarah’s speech today in PA and she just mentioned the movie “Slapshot.” If you know the movie, this is just like the scene in the locker room where Paul Newman has finally had it with “clean” hockey and decides to let the Hanson brothers play.
here here
I feel sorry for Sarah, she must be thinking WTF
where did the fighter go instead we have someone who seems to be running scared of obama
remember obama saying the other day that MAC should say it to his face.
well all MAC had to do was say I have been in tougher positions than telling you about your radical racist connection and please show your birth certificate
I just hope MAC wins and after 4 years it goes to Sarah
Hey John: STFU

Why is okay for Congressman John Lewis to make false charges against John McCain?

I just wrote this in another thread too.... I think McCain could have sounded tough but not personal by reassuring scared supporters of his that America will *overcome* problems created by 0bama. The nation through its greatness and strength of its people will be OK even if this loon gets elected. If he worded it that way it would have sounded better than his ringing endorsement of 0bama’s character.
I just wish I believed we will be able to overcome. I’m not so sure.

Another thing: Did you see the Sean Hannity interview segment aboard the campaign plane with McCain and Cindy? Well, guess who was riding upfront with the boss, laughing and joking with John and Cindy? — Lindsey Graham, original member of the gang of 14. If ‘no nuts’ Lindsey is a senior adviser, then we’re all screwed. Good grief.

Stop reposting yesterday’s news. All we do it stir up the hornet’s nest. McCain said today he is angry.
Again, McCain’s instincts lead him astray. If there is no reason to be scared of Obama, then why does the election matter except as a change of parties and personalities? Obama and his crew have the potential to do grave damage to the county, and with McCain’s faltering in the polls, there is good reason to be scared.
Why should I respect a liar who thinks he has the RIGHT to be President? Barack Hussein Obama has not earned the respect, nor the right to be near the White House, let alone CIC. The only reason he loves the USA is for the power it would give socialists when they take it over.
He may not deserve it, but that has nothing to do with Senator McCain maintaining respect for his opponent, in and during the campaign.
It is a Presidential campaign, and deserves respect, even if the Dems and MSM don't think so.
Since I’m not a McCain supporter, then I guess this directive isn’t for me.
The media is trying to write off people against Obama as racists and fabricating that the KKK is just around the corner. McCain as usual doesn’t deny the narrative but accepts it and urges it to stop.
Whatever.
Not playing the game.
The topic of the week is Acorn and Ayers and the economy and I’m not shifting gears to defense.
Why should I respect a man who openly campaigned for a MARXIST in Raila Odinga? Worse, Odinga was running against a PRO-AMERICAN leader who was dedicated to fighting Al-Queda in Kenya. Obama is a TRAITOR.
he doesn’t. but the last thing we want is for Obama to do a little jujutsu and take all this anger and use it against it...making us look like a bunch of desperate kooks.
Let Sarah and the campaign take care of the attacks. He needs to at least for now seem logical and even serene.....Look what they did when he went back to Washington.
“All we do it stir up the hornet’s nest. McCain said today he is angry.”
Well, that’s a little to late, don’t you think?
The time for pushing Obambi’s shove was two months ago with a constant, constant refrain over socialist philosophy that Obambi believes in. This campaign was a Dole moment. I’m beginning to think that our hard work was just marking time and place for the future.
The campaign is definitely without an overarching theme or ability to connect with people. Palin’s arrival proved that and then, she was squandered.
Angry. Heck yes because of what we may probably have to live with politically.
I’m a student of Russian history in all its guises and forms over its history. Once upon a time, decades ago, it was to be a profession, now it is simply an avocation. This scares me. It also scares me because of the possibility of reprisals.
Why, why, why, why???
It seems to me that, so called, asymmetric warfare is extremely effective going by the left’s influence over (many would say control) the judiciary, academia, the media as well as conducting widespread voter fraud and even wrecking the world’s greatest economy via the Community Reinvestment Act with the help of ACORN thugs. Finally, the ongoing vicious bile hurled for 8 humiliiating years against a decent and honorable president (Bush) as well as Sarah Palin and her innocent family has been a complete one way concerted assault by the left. Conservatives don’t need to scream shrill lies like the left have - they can actually nail this prick Obama with the truth about his scumbag associations, his activities with ACORN, his socialist political history and even his nationality and true religious leanings. Hell, McCain has to realise that this is no ordinary fight following the Marquis of Queensbury rules among gentlemen or some such. The destructive filth surrounding Obama has to be exposed loud and as often as the public is given rare and candid access to McCain and Palin. As I said, the media is in the left’s pocket. Come on McCain, fight, fight hard and at times fight dirty, even if you have to draw a long bow at times but for God’s sake, not only for America, fight!!!
Hey, John, Obumwad is evil incarnate and undeserving of respect from any honorable person. He also scares the crap out of me as he does every truly patriotic American. So keep your mealy-mouthed, craven comments to yourself if you still harbor any hopes of winning this election. If not, give Sarah the point! Because then, win or lose, we won’t feel like we’ve been abandoned.
“If he should win[ steal the election ], Hussein will NEVER BE MY PRESIDENT.”
Yup.
Well what do you propose the theme should be?
“Why is okay for Congressman John Lewis to make false charges against John McCain?”
Why? Quite simply, because John lewis is black. He can say whatever he wants, no matter how outrageous, and he suffers no consequences (he is, by virtue of who and what he is, immune from criticism). Welcome to the New America.
“Well what do you propose the theme should be?”
You should have asked 18 months ago.
Then tomorrow he can apologize for his “anger”.
McCain gives his supporters a lesson in decorum? Who is working for whom around here? We aren’t in servitude YET, John, so ‘Go to your room’!
M-O-O-N
That spells moon.
McCain to Campaign for Obama Two Days Each Week
Will rebut Palin's anti-Obama comments
I wonder if anyone has asked McCain point blank what do you think 0bama’s involvement was in that Missouri incident where the campaign wanted to prosecute ads with “lies.” How can McCain possibly think we do not have to fear 0bama with a record like this??
McCain is taking my life, my family and my future and killing them. Just killing them.
WTF is he doing talking like that? He should be shouting at the top of his lungs PEOPLE GRAB YOUR PITCHFORKS. THE CRAZIES ARE A COMIN AND THEY WANT YOUR MONEY AND YOUR FREEDOMS.
The effeminate RINO Senator from South Carolina has been hangin' out with Juan and advising him from day one.

Dear John,
I am concerned that you are being now portrayed as not willing to be tough.
As a retired executive I never asked a subordinate to do something I would not do myself.
You have asked Sarah Palin to appropriately attack Obama for his nefarious relationships.
Now it seems you are backtracking.
That is not the type of executive I want.
Please change course now.
Respectfully,
Sorry johnny I’m not voting for YOU, and I sure as hell am not listening to you.
My vote is for Governor Palin.
hussein is communist filth of the lowest kind and it needs to be pointed out loudly and often.
