Barack Obama played the "me too" game during the Friday debates on September 26 after Senator John McCain mentioned that he was wearing a bracelet with the name of Cpl. Matthew Stanley, a resident of New Hampshire and a soldier that lost his life in Iraq in 2006. Obama said that he too had a bracelet. After fumbling and straining to remember the name, he revealed that his had the name of Sergeant Ryan David Jopek of Merrill, Wisconsin.
Shockingly, however, Madison resident Brian Jopek, the father of Ryan Jopek, the young soldier who tragically lost his life to a roadside bomb in 2006, recently said on a Wisconsin Public Radio show that his family had asked Barack Obama to stop wearing the bracelet with his son's name on it. Yet Obama continues to do so despite the wishes of the family

This might very well be the BEST comment that McCain can make in his next debate.... “ OH by the way Barak.... half of your bracelet belongs to ME”!!!!!!
What a great TV ad if this father will come on with McCain and MAKE A AD Stating this to the NATION.... a fallen soldier’s memory being ABUSED???? WOW!!!
I have to agree with your analysis; I saw it and enjoyed the Gutfeld discussion.
RedEye is one of my guilty pleasures—when I waken in the middle of the night, I can’t help having at least one good laugh.
>>Where is Media?, <<Actually, this is starting to get ALL OVER YouTube:here you go.

At least the MSM used to try and deny their bias.
This year, they really don’t care how obvious it is. They don’t deny it at all.
That is what is different about this time.
Bottom line: If one parent of a fallen soldier tells you to stop politicizing his or her son's death, you stop. Period. Both parents need not be in agreement on this issue for the candidate to know the right thing to do.
I’m going to start recording it—Greg was really good.
HA HA brillaint, I neevr get chance to see the show at the weekends.
agreed Steve is great, just wish E.D. was still around
any idea what she is doing now as she seems to have disappeared?
There only one way to deal with this &*it MSM folks. Stop watching their crap: news, sports, entertainment, etc. Economic and viewer embargo. What chance do you think we’ll stop?
Yes, I'm aware of that. I said nothing to dispute that. I was disputing media distortion and Barack Obama's credibility. Again.
We're on the same side. Act like it.
I think E.D. is on during the day; I’ve seen her fill in on Newswatch and The Factor, too.
I was just chatting with a co-worker a little while ago and he's convinced that McCain's going to win this in a landslide. He's said that all along and he still maintains that.
I told him I hope and pray he's right.
I have not met a single Obama supporter here. Even the government people I know who tend to be Democrat say they're either not voting the top of the ticket or they're voting McCain this year.
Its insane. The liberals have Pravda, they are using intimidation to stop political free speech and shut down opposition. This is Chigaco gangland style politics. Saul Alinsky, Marxism. Get in their face.
I used to think the Rats were the Girly men. Recently the Republican Women (Sarah Palin) have acted stronger then Republican Men.
This is why I am surprised
They say my state is close and yet no one here or they do not know of anyone who is voting for obama.
not one.
no one here or no one knows of anyone who has been polled
so the questions is who on earth is being polled ?
I just can’t see obama taking Fl and then I am surprised to hear NC is close and VA is a draw.
Remember when they said obama would win big time in NH and yet he lost big time. Well I think this will happen in this election.
the media are helping him out and yet he still can’t do better than he is.
You know if people actually found about obama and his censorship, his lies, his connections, his no experience then I would be surprised he have actually took more than 3 states
course the media won’t do their job as they know they could never get the truth out
Remember the Dubai Port World arguments? Or prior to BOTH the 2000 and 2004, the accusations that there were no witnesses to President Bush being at the Alabama National Guard base. Or while there were no WMC=Ds and no nuclear programs in Iraq, just before the 2004 election the outrage at the President for not safeguarding the MDX and RDX?
Send to Drudge, Rush, Hannity, and BOR
Yet more proof BO uses our military for his own personal gain and casts them aside when he hasn’t the time for them.
