(Washington Post) Interesting Krauthammer: "If a Republican candidate had launched his political career at the home of an abortion-clinic bomber -- even a repentant one -- he would not have been able to run for dogcatcher in Podunk."   (washingtonpost.com) divider line 325

Give it up, you retards. It's over.

What if a Republican had been endorsed by a women who defended a woman who attempted to murder an abortion clinic doctor?

Someone the judge referred to, hesitantly, as a "terrorist"?

Fark off Krauthammer. You were pathetic the other night on Fox when you looked like a ghost after McCain lost the debate...I saw it in your eyes right there that you knew McCain had just lost the election. I hope you cry on election night.

John McCain has personal ties to G. Gordon Liddy and Charles Colson.

Look 'em up, McCaintards...

It's something that I have never considered in my opinion of JM, and it's something that Obama has never tried to capitalize on. That's my point.

From all accounts, Colson is reformed and is now a pretty good guy (he was born again - while in prison I believe - and know counsels/ministers to prisoners). By all accounts, Liddy is still a flaming douchenozzle.

yeah i agree with all, including your view on Obama's relationships....non-issues that get blown out of proportion...last gasp I guess

Damn shame JM went down this path. It's clear he's very uncomfortable with it (Palin doesn't seem to mind, though), but he's in charge, and he's allowed it. I'm glad he applied the brakes today...we'll see where it goes from here...I really miss liking McCain.

I'm shocked that Charles Krauthammer would preach a version of reality that seems different from all those around him.

Actually given their recent track record I'm surprised the neocons haven't run someone with these credentials.

I wonder why McCain never brought any of this up until last week? This is an old story...he didn't say anything during the RNC, or anytime up until AFTER the VP debate...which is coincidentally about the time that he started getting his ass kicked in the polls...if Obama really was a dangerous terrorist-lover, you'd think it would have been a bigger deal for McCain BEFORE he, you know, started losing the election...

I love how the talking points have not been to deny it, but rather change the subject to "why bring it up NOW?" lolz

McCain and Keating


20,000 people lost life savings... I call that an economic terrorist.

Ayers is a freedom fighter just like Che!
Hillary already tried to tell us about this and we don't care!
Go Obama!

"Racism is treating people differently and invidiously on the basis of race. Had any white presidential candidate had a close 20-year association with a white preacher overtly spreading race hatred from the pulpit, that candidate would have been not just universally denounced and deemed unfit for office but written out of polite society entirely."

Just saying (new window)

 
DarnoKonrad 2008-10-10 11:25:01 PM  
You know? It's worth thinking about.

What kind of nation would McCain win with this shiat?

What kind will Obama?

/Country First. nothing is sacred in politics.

 
anfrind 2008-10-10 11:25:01 PM  
You think the Ayers connection is damning for Obama? McCain was actively involved in an organization that carried out multiple terrorist bombings in 1967.

Yes, you can look it up.

I love how this "story" is suddenly the most important thing out there after all these months.

On a side note...I assumed they would have went with the wright story instead of the WU thing that very few people know about.

 
MBK [TotalFark] 2008-10-10 11:26:42 PM  
Look, do you elect dogcatchers? I have never seen them on any ballots. I have never seen any campaign ads for them. It is time to retire this pharse.

Eidolon 2008-10-10 11:27:07 PM  
Hmmmm, what if the Republican candidate hadn't actually launched his career there, but was tangentially tied to it?

Oh, Republicans would be calling it a baseless, bullshiat attack.

 
jjorsett 2008-10-10 11:27:13 PM  
Krauthammer is right, although I'd have used the example of McCain kicking off his political career in the home of the more-equivalent Timothy McVeigh.

Too good of an excuse to rebroadcast Obama's excellent speech on the subject of race and Wright.

Demetrius [TotalFark] 2008-10-10 11:28:20 PM  
Are you kidding me???

The GOP would have portrayed this fictional person as some type of hero who managed to come out on top of all the corruption even though they were entrenched in the middle of it all.

Sorry, -1.

John McCain accepts money and an endorsement from the woman whose family foundation put Bill Ayers on the education board.

Oh, and Krauthammer is a tool.

ConservativesBlow 2008-10-10 11:29:05 PM  
Name one person that Bill Ayers has killed.

If you want homegrown terrorism, the right's Tim McVeigh is leaps and bounds ahead of the Weathermen.

 
FlashHarry [TotalFark] 2008-10-10 11:29:24 PM  
mccain served on the board of a neo-nazi-affiliated far right organization. so what?

 
muck4doo [TotalFark] 2008-10-10 11:30:06 PM  
Most of Fark has already gone full retard and is supporting Obama without question. We will get the government we deserve. The Fark politics page is a dead cause, and has already been taken over by the stupid. Let the Morans have it, they worked hard to make sure they dominated it.

i'm a conservative and i think krauthammer is the biggest neocon-cheerleading douche of the last three years, even overcoming Kristol.

This shiat would work with no wars, a fairly stable economy, etc...it's farking stupid in the current climate.

Your use of the word "socialist" as a derogatory term belies your petty narrow-mindedness.

 
log_jammin [TotalFark] 2008-10-10 11:32:34 PM  
True. But does the average person know or care what a bunch of college kids did in 1969?

Then again even if the average person doesn't know it still gives mccain the chance to say "terrorist" over and over again.

 
DarnoKonrad 2008-10-10 11:32:34 PM  
muck4doo: socialist puke

An excellent argument.

Bonus: doesn't even mention the GOP's hatred of America's fine state troopers and police officers. Seriously, why do you hate American jobs?

 
hyperspacemonkey 2008-10-10 11:32:57 PM  
The first paragraph shows the author is an ignorant idiot or baldfaced liar. He can't think of a presidential candidate who spent time with more execrable characters.

My vote if liar. He has to be at least a less literate than a grade school graduate though if he thinks nobody else can think of worse characters that presidential candidates have chilled with.

 
Clonod 2008-10-10 11:32:58 PM  
For the last farking time, he did not "launch" his career there. Th event wasn't even for him. It was for the person he succeeded in the State Senate. She showed him around.

I might be more willing to accept the inherent problems of the Ayers connection if the right would treat it honestly. But they don't. Every time I've looked into it, I find that they misrepresent one aspect of it after another. So I don't care. Sorry Krauthammer. Go back to defending horrible wars.

Oh, and by the way, if a black candidate had a 17 year old pregnant daughter, he couldn't be a dogcatcher in Podunk either. It works both ways, prick.
