McCain: Don't blame Palin

AP on Bakersfield Californian ^ | 11/11/08 | AP

Your assumption that McCain’s people were behind this is false.

Therefore, your outrage is misplaced.

[Old Sarge]

So what. Prove me wrong.

[NormsRevenge]

If he had turned out to be a Truman, we’d all have been better for it... not sure he was even a Teddy R.. definitely not a bull moose ;-)

[Cedric]

Every lie and rumor has been denied and/or debunked.

[CAluvdubya]

Yep. He’s been bitter towards Bush for 8 years. Now he’ll transfer that to Sarah. I think deep down he does blame her in some way.

[MinuteGal]

"Maybe I should trademark the phrase....."

You should, LOL. It's SO funny.

I'm trying to figure out how to convertly steal it from you and work it into my tag line. Don't tell anyone.

You know, it isn’t a hoax that all the ugly things said about her was all over the tube. THAT’S when McCain should have come out and spoken against the nasty talk.

[saganite]

You don’t have to steal it. Feel free to use it.

[CedarDave]

The smear was so patently false it bordered on satire. Who in their right mind actually believes she didn't know that Africa is a continent? If any member of the Palin family had set foot in Neiman Marcus it would have made news the day it happened. And divas do not live in Alaska, let alone shoot caribou, or work on fishing boats. They don't have husbands who leave them alone to race at breakneck speeds across the countryside on snow machines. And they sure as shucks don't have Down's babies.

Good comment!

[Las Vegas Ron]

Do you have any proof?

We all know this is McCains MO

And talk about poetic justice, the very, uncontitutional bill he and Fiengold passed doomed him.

[Cedric]

Maybe she wanted to acquit herself.

Precisely.

There's no question the McCain/Palin people discussed the best way to handle this assault.

I always thought she should be the one out front , in that it was her who was besmirched.

And I'm glad she did so.

[Cedric]

It doesn’t matter who made the accusations.

Gee, four days ago, the ALL that mattered.

[xlib]

I get the “duped” part, such as it is:

http://hotair.com/archives/2008/11/10/greta-on-the-palin-smears-carl-cameron-told-me-i-messed-up-on-this-one/?print=1

I don’t get how O’s people could have been behind it. Cameron surely knows who’s on McCain’s staff. I don’t see the link you’re making to the Obama campaign.

[Cedric]

The staffer “Eisenstadt” was outed as a HOAXER!

[Navy Patriot]

The leak was engineered, however the sniping behind it was real.

Loose lips, and big egos sink ships. Liberal egos are huge.

McCain should have punished the loose lips as he would have as a Navy officer and a gentleman.

[Cedric]

HERE'S YOU MO:

Obama came out of a meeting and leaked to a reporter that Bush is a RASCIST because he applied hand sanitizer after shaking Obama’s hand.

I suppose you believed that one, too.

[CedarDave]

The staffer “Eisenstadt” was outed as a HOAXER!

Indeed, but Cameron got his information not from him but from McCain insiders. This was verified by John Gibson in an email to one of our FR members. I'll hunt up a link to the FR post and get back to you.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Your all talk and no proof. And watch your tone with me FRiend

[Cedric]

Probably the same “insider” who leaked the Bush DUI story to “Campaign” Carl.

Carl CLAIMS they were “insiders”. Yeah, sure.

All I’m saying is that after all she did for him, the least he could do for her is defend her. Whether the accusations came from the left or the right.
