Obama: McCain Scoring "Cheap Political Points" (challenges McCain to "say it to my face")
ABCNews ^ | Oct.. 8, 2008 | By KATIE ESCHERICH and LAUREN SHER

Sen. Barack Obama says the personal attacks levied against him by the campaign of his presidential rival, Sen. John McCain, particularly references to his association with 1960s anti-war radical Bill Ayers, are an attempt to "score cheap political points."

"I am surprised that, you know, we've been seeing some pretty over-the-top attacks coming out of the McCain campaign over the last several days, that he wasn't willing to say it to my face. But I guess we've got one last debate. So presumably, if he ends up feeling that he needs to, he will raise it during the debate."

Hey, if McCain doesn’t want to confront you Obama, I’d be more than glad to have a conversation with you about your role with ACORN, Ayers, Wright, and all your other Marxist and terrorist affiliations.

Reminds me so much of the school yard bully and then when someone does say it in his face, he runs away with his tail between his legs.

I apparently confused, a long time ago, DeConcini with Domenici.

There’s one more debate. McCain should turn to Obama and tell it to his face and see how he reacts.

Obama’s dream is slipping away now that voters are learning about his radicalism.

There's one more debate -- McCain can say it to his face then.

(After that, he pretty much has to, or else he looks like a chicken$#!^, which would pretty much be the end of it.)

Senator McCain would be smart to not take the bait on this one.

As I noted, he's pretty much stuck -- everybody despises people who go around talking trash behing somebody's back but won't repeat it to the target's face.

He’s probably betting that McCain won’t take the bait (and will look too chicken to confront That One face-to-face with his allegations).

It's considered macho in the black community.

It's not specific to the black community -- there's a general consensus that guttersniping (talking trash behind someone's back that you don't have the nerve to say to their face) is unmanly and cowardly.

Dunno how McCain is going to get around this trap.

Trying to hide behind Sarah’s skirts would make the problem worse, IMO.

and just like a cowardly bully, Obama waited to posture his might until the next day. If he was so willing to discuss it why didn’t he just bring it up during the debate?

The monster they have created will turn on them and bite them.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Agreed. Ane we know how that will end. All of the black campaign workers will turn on others and Obama will demand blood sacrifices to his ancestral gods, so he can win the election!

He won't likely find any virgins among 'em to throw into the volcano though!

Republicans HIDE YOUR DAUGHTERS!

LOL.

Seriously though, when his campaign fails, things will get very ugly, even before the election.

The Obabots are out there stiffling any further news about Ayers, Odinga, COLB case. They played the race card, they played the wife card. What is next?

Violencia. Its become a circus over in Obama Land.

Obama will keep repeating his mantra about being 8 years old and that he didn’t know about Ayers background despite being employed by and supporting him for over four years.

And I hope John Murtagh is sitting right there, front and center, looking straight at Obama with his steely eyes.

Beware the fury of a patient man.

I hear ya — Palin shouldn’t have to fight alone. ...and it appears she’s the ONLY prominent Pubbie to call a spade a spade.

Check out Mike Huckabee's show on Fox. You'll be shocked. He looks and sounds so mild, but his spine is titanium.

You’re right — I forgot about Huckabee. He hasn’t been the least shy about telling it like it is.

This just occurred to me but I just wonder how tense Barry was on the inside during the last debate?

He's a good actor and managed to pull it together, but I could see the narcissist was ready to jump out of his skin. I have one just like him in my family. He was teetering on the edge.

I can't believe his statement "I wrote a letter" would actually accomplish anything and McCain countered that a bunch of Senators "wrote a letter" and Obama wasn't one of them that signed it.

Obama is King in his own mind and busy brainwashing everybody else to believe it. May Almighty God stop him in his tracks, Amen.
