I must have missed that part of Rush today. He didn’t rally behind McCain, he rallied AGAINST the NYT.

Its easy to rally to McCain when the choices are him or Hillary/Obama and the attack comes from the New York Times.

Vote GOP this November. Make them wallow in it.

I actually find myself enjoying the irony of the NY Slimes trashing the very candidate they promoted so soon. Am I sick?

As usual, they miss the point.

We hate the manipulation by the media. We don’t care who it is directed at or whether it’s positive or negative. We just hate the lies, the agenda, which is all too apparent.

It was predictable. I called this months ago, when the NYT originally spiked the story. It really wasn’t that hard to predict because the MSM is so predictable.

I laughed at McCain when I saw the NYT article. I wonder if he was surprised? Rush does tout himself as right 98.6% of the time but this time it was so obvious he was right to everyone. However, who here thought they would pick him over Obama? Maybe a 72 year old can learn something new.

Perhaps so, but I think both rallies are becoming one and the same.

Are we going to let one of our (most of the time) guys take all this incoming ordnance without us showing a little support/backbone?

I do NOT understand why conservatives would be up in arms over this. I for one am loving that McAmnesty is meing thrown under the bus by the lefty MSM.

It is really something to see the grasping at straws that goes on by the mccainacs.

“He didn’t rally behind McCain, he rallied AGAINST the NYT.”

I know what you mean. Politico often puts their own spin on things.

Rush said that McCain shouldn’t be surprised.

Rush predicted a long time ago, that the media would keep giving the “maverick” air time, but if McCain ever ran against a Dem, this is what would happen.

Once again, Thanks NYT for helping Conservatives find sympathy for McCain!

But he deserves it so very much. I am enjoying the hell out of this.

I almost fell for it!!! Yuk yuk yuk. Silly me. The Gray Whore has been working her manipulation longer than most of us have been alive. And she’s good at it.

Rush Limbaugh, who has been critical of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), embraced him Thursday now that they have a common enemy: The New York Times.

Rush "embraced" McCain? This sounds like it was written in the New York Times. Does Politico ever get anything right?
