FNC Embed Producer Mosheh just sent me this info…..scroll down to the bottom and you will see what Senator McCain says about ACORN (but he discusses other matters here as well): From: Oinounou, Mosheh To: Sent: Fri Oct 10 21:17:18 2008 Subject: URGENT: MCCAIN TRIES TO TAMP DOWN SUPPORTERS SAYING TAKE DOWN OBAMA FNC LIVE Lakeville, MN Town Hall Meeting McCain is trying to tone down the over-the-top, extremist and bigoted rhetoric coming from his supporters with a simple message “it’s got to be respectful.” It did not go over that well among some of his hardcore Republican base who repeatedly booed the GOP nominee and that message today. It was really a must see. At his second straight town hall meeting in as many days-McCain was repeatedly (6 different times in fact–including by former US Sen. Rudy Boschwitz) called on to fight harder against Obama and bring up the Democrat’s associations with Bill Ayers, Wright and others-but McCain tamped down his recent “who is the real barrack obama” rhetoric and begged supporters to conduct themselves in a respectful manner Friday. (SEE PLEA TO FIGHT HARDER VERBATES 1-6 below) But, he was booed multiple times for calling for respect and at one point had to grab the mic from one supporter who called Obama an Arab and defended him as a “decent family man citizen.”

And people wonder why I’m in the mood to cast a protest vote right now.
McCain disgusts me.
You’re an idiot McCain! Get some BALLS!!
R.O.M.A.
I could swear John McCain doesn’t really WANT to be the President -
He seems to be going through the motions and looking forward to returning to the collegiality of the Senate
and his self-imposed title of “Maverick”
Perhaps he is a man whose future is behind him
“Senator McCain Punts on Acorn !”
Where exactly?
Sorry. Gotta give McCain a break - at least for now.
ACORN is under investigation, and he did just come out with an advert. connecting 0bama and ACORN.
Seriously. Stop overacting.
Come on people!!! He’s got us. Do you actually think that these mushy middle of the roaders are going to be impressed with what you are suggesting? If you read that transcript, he does say that he’s gonna keep on keepin on about these red meat issues. He’s just practicing crowd control. Damage control. In front of the cameras. For the libtards who think they have something to salivate over. On t.v. In front of the mushy middle of the roaders. He saw it coming. Ya’ll need to get a grip, if he had to talk about this for a week (the rabble rouser narrative that is starting to emerge), it will no help us. Get a grip folks.
You said it.
Geez Louise, some people don’t understand much about politics. The over the tops slams on Obama takes away from the LEGITIMATE hits on Ayres, Rezko, etc.
Bump.
The crowd antics are actually HELPING Obama because the media focuses on that rather than McCain’s message. WHY do so many here miss this?
Obviously, McCain is still hoping to nail down a large portion of the black vote.
What a freakin moron.
Bob Dole II
Too many trolls here tonight and no mods around willing to Zot them.
McCain you a-hole you’re going into the whitehouse whether you want to or not!!
