 Waah waah, you make nasty, bigoted statements and then complain when someone calls you on it? Boo fucking hoo. Props to McCain. -------------------- |

Good for McCain. It's those kind of talkshow hosts that irritate me.

I don't think they ever actually exchanged words (at least not publicly).

Yeah, I don't think they talked directly. Cunninham talked before a McCain rally started, then McCain said later that he apologized for the guy's comments.
I have no problems with candidates and political commentators exchanging barbs on policy issues, but racism, sexism, bigotry, and fabrications (alluding to Obama being a Muslim, what I gathered from this article) have no place. -------------------- |

QUOTE (jonathan83 @ Feb 27 2008, 09:54 PM) i dont think he called him a muslim, he just said "barack hussein obama" which is his full name. Sounded to me like he was implying it, even if he didn't say it outright. Anti-Obama folk have been spreading rumors for months (years?) that Obama is Muslim, in hopes of discrediting him in the public eye. Not that that *should* really matter, but it would. -------------------- |

This reaffirms my opinion of your intellect. It still confuses me how you can say two completely opposing things and believe both of them true. --------------------  QUOTE (jonathan83 @ Nov 16 2007, 09:22 PM) |

Do you use people's full name all the time when talking about them? People do that kind of stuff for a reason. I think it's obvious to everyone (except you maybe) that he was saying his middle name because he wants people to associate Obama w/Saddam. Do you also think Hillary has no motive behind calling herself "Hillary Rodham Clinton" when she's around liberals and women, and just "Hillary Clinton" when she's around conservatives & men? |

Hrm, I never really thought about that, but I guess Rodham is her maiden name, isn't it? What a lame-o.
