Obama accuses McCain of 'losing his bearings' with comment
WOI-TV ^ | May 8, 2008

Barack Obama says that John McCain tried to "smear" him and was "losing his bearings" for suggesting that Hamas preferred Obama for president.

The Democratic presidential candidate told CNN that it's "offensive" and "disappointing" especially since McCain has said he's "not going to run that kind of politics."

McCain has raised questions about a Hamas adviser saying in an interview: "We like Obama and hope that he will win the election." The United States has labeled the Palestinian organization a terrorist group.

McCain said yesterday on "The Daily Show with John Stewart" that it shows how some enemies view America. He said "I guarantee you, they're not going to endorse me."

And a McCain adviser says Obama was referring to McCain's age with his "losing his bearings" comment.

Your right, but shhhhhhh!! Wait until he gets the nomination before we totally discredit him as the candidate that makes Dukakis look like a deep thinker.

As pointed out in your other excellent post, Obama is just using some of Saul Alinsky’s “organizing tactics”.

I take it that was the first interview you've seen him do?

Barack Hussein Obama is being swiftboated, that is, unpleasant political facts are coming to light and he denies them by attacking the messenger.

It is true! I met a Lebanese pastor from over there and he said they are all excited to get Bush out and BO in.

I also have a Muslim acquantance who says he is Muslim. Why do they think that? Someone must have told them for everyone to believe it. How do you get the info, do you have to go to the temple? Are they spreading the word in the churches?

No, I’ve seen several. I particularly liked the one on the Today Show with angry Michelle where he came off as a momma’s boy.

Conservatives need to boycott Time-Lies-Warner-Turner-CNN through the duration of the 2008 election. This means no cable/satellite bills to them or their networks. No movie tickets or DVDs. Starve the beast.

And this is not isolated to a single broadcast. HBO is showing the Gore perspective on the 2000 Election Recount (and will probably be airing their propaganda through the election eve).

"John McLame couldn’t beat a wet noodle if the Dems ran it for president!"

Perhaps not...but John McCain could and will soundly defeat whatever wet noodle the Democrats decide to run.

P.S. Just wondering...what's the point of all the posts about 'Juan McLame/McQueeq/Mc"Insert Insult Here", etc.

Does the name calling add to the credibility of the poster's arguments?

Is it supposed to be funny? Clever?? (It's getting rather tiresome, IMHO.)

Just wondering...

Thanks for the UTube link - Obama is intimately linked to the Palestineian cause.

Here is an article by Andrew McCarthy ( the Federal Prosecutor that prosecuted the "Blind Sheik" who bombed the World Trade Center (the first time) in 1993 ) that details some of Obama's close associates that have ties to anti-Americanism and even terrorism. An interesting sidelight to the story is his involvement, through William Ayers, with Rashid Khalidi, a longtime supporter of Palestinian “resistance” attacks against Israel.

Its a real eye opener as to Obama's continuous close contacts with the very far left anti-American establishment.

>>>Obama should also be careful about insulting older voters.<<<

I'm just waiting for McCain to use Reagan's "old age" line against Obama.

When asked by a reporter if he thought age would become an issue in the campaign, Reagan, totally deadpan, answered: "I doubt it, I certainly don't intend to bring up my opponents relative youth and inexperience".
