McCain asks aides not to rebut Palin (as McCainiacs continue to attack her)
NBC / The Hill, Washington, DC ^ | 2009-11-16 | Eric Zimmermann

Posted on 11/16/2009 11:36:19 AM PST by rabscuttle385

John McCain has asked his former campaign aides not to speak out against the charges Sarah Palin levels in her book, NBC news reports.

This news comes after a number of former staffers anonymously blasted Palin's recount of the 2008 campaign.

"John McCain offered her the opportunity of a lifetime, and during the campaign it seems that, for all of her mistakes, she is searching for people to blame," an aide said last week. "We don't need to go through this again."

Even as NBC reported McCain's request, they included another swipe at her book from a former campaign aide.

"It is unrecognizable at every instance. There is not one truthful account as it relates to any conversation I ever had with her," the aide said.

NO , NO. PLEASE keep attacking her. The more press the better.

The RINOS define themselves by their attacks, we want more of that.

McCain could have just said "no comment", thus giving his aides a green light to continue bashing.

I credit him for telling them to shut up.

I hope McShame realizes that I would not have voted
for him had he not chosen Palin.

Palin was the Hope and Change for the GOP.

Without Palin there is no Hope and Change in the Republican Party

Who are these anti-American left wing pig faced Nazi fascist, that say they were aides? Never should they be allowed to be in or around the Republican party and should be shipped to their homeland. I will write the RNC to toss these dumb asses out as they should not be getting more money for their Nazi lies and help for the left wing fascist who want to destroy the country.

Good point. Of course NBC/The Hill are just making this stuff up ~ and I believe that’s the fundamental charge Sarah makes ~ that the McCainiac staffers, and NBC, The Hill, et al, just make stuff up ~ which they do.

McCain’s little monkeys are still climbing around in the campaign tree that got cut down. The purpose of the maverick express was only half successful. The useful idiot, the media darling, the aisle crossing acrobat and compromising wonder crashed and burned with the Republican Party. Conservatives were supposed to go down with him, clinging onto Sarah’s skirts, but that didn’t happen. Sarah didn’t go down. Now the little monkeys, the beltway intellectuals are twisting in their knotted panties. How could this have happened? Where is the next useful idiot to represent the Republican Party? They know they can’t push McCain on us again. ...Keep your eyes open, and pay attention to where the beltway flatulence blows. See which Republican becomes the next media darling. That’s who the McCain monkeys and state media will set up to knock down. I wonder sometimes if McCain is wising up to the fact that he was taken down from the inside, by his own people who had a different allegiance.

If he had not selected her I would not have voted for President just for the others on the ballot.

McKinnon was hostile from the start, especially after he dumped McCain and embraced Obama.

As we say in the South,...

Sarah has a perfect comback everytime she is confronted by something one of these weenies said.

SP: Oh really? Who said that?

Interviewer: Someone who refuses to be identified.

SP: Well, that tells you something about their character, doesn't it?

"John McCain offered her the opportunity of a lifetime, and during the campaign it seems that, for all of her mistakes, she is searching for people to blame," an aide said last week.

LOL. This one's a laugher. McCain campaign accuses Palin of making mistakes. Pot ... Kettle...

Ah, Palin won her debate. Palin created the only excitement in the campaign. The choice of Palin pushed McCain/Palin ahead in the polls for two weeks, the only time McCain was ahead.

And it wasn't Palin, who decided to suspend the campaign, run back to Washington to save the economy and prompting disappear and say nothing. It wasn't Palin who decided to back TARP. It wasn't Palin who didn't want to attack Obama during the campaign. It wasn't Palin, who ran the campaign, came up with the strategy for the campaign and carried out that ... ahem, losing ... strategy.

And coming up to date, it isn't Palin, who's said she's trying to re-make the Republican Party. It isn't Palin, who's trying to push conservatives out of the party. It's McCain. The worst Presidential candidate since Mike Dukakis.
