I believe that is the opposite of a Very Serious Person.
That U-S-A chant just sends an ugly shiver down my spine every time I hear it.
Me too.
The Republican party is going to whip up a new civil war for no real reason if they continue on their current course.
They do seem to sink to new lows with every passing election season.
Well, you can’t really blame them for being mad after the centuries of struggle the white man has had to endure in order to gain a foothold in this fledgling democracy. And all that can be ripped away by Nancy Pelosi.
May I ask honestly–what the fuck does he have to be mad about–other than being a repulsive piece of shit? Guess I’d be mad, too.
But really, I am so, so, sick of these people’s bullshit. On and on it goes, without ceasing.
Enough.
John McCain, that noxious, overgrown spoiled brat punk ass, has NO honor, NO morals and NO courage. And neither do his enablers. If McCain is content to go suck up to these dead-end Idiocracy rejects, then so be it.
Really, I can only get so mad at McCan’t because I never doubted he’d go there. Thinking he’s better than this or is somehow “different” now than in the past. Bollocks! He’s always been a nasty, whoring piece of shit, and will die a nasty, whoring piece of shit. And these inbred ratfuckers who get up and yell and spew–well, they’re just dumb. Catering to these types have gotten in the mess that we are in. And of course, the McCains won’t get any closer than a Klanpaign stage with these bottomfeeders, yet they willingly fall for the okeydoke every time.
What burns my hide is that his actions aren’t being condemned. Where are the other “sober,” “responsible” voices out there condemning these Klanpaign events? He needs to be called on this hatemongering, self-pitying bullshit, and it must be by people other than the usual suspects.
It was not McCain that but the guy in the crowd who was mad about socialism. McCain did not get the point and did not provide a response.
That would be why McCain immediately responded by said, “Well, I think I got the message. Could I just say, the gentleman is right.”
He got the point, and he responded.
The mad guy said “…it’s not the economy. It’s the socialist taking over our country.” That got a standing ovation. Then nothing of substance from angry guy. After the throwaway line ‘the gentleman is right’. McCain says nothing about socialism to reply:
“The democrats have been in the majority for the last two years. Have you seen any improvement? The point is Americans are angry … we’ve got to act together because we’re all Americans first … I will work with anyone to fix these terrible (economy) challenges.” The angry man said he was not angry about the economy but socialist taking over our country. McCain did not provide a response. McCain wanted to get away from this issue for good reason.
I would not call “the gentleman is right” a ‘throwaway line’ – I would call it an unqualified affirmation of everything that the “gentleman” said.
Some people – large swaths of people, IMO – are beyond “rehabilitation.” You don’t converse with these people. You don’t engage in dialogue with these people. You don’t waste your time trying to understand or change these people. You defeat them, you interdict their influence over the culture and you ignore their cries for relevance. Anything else enables them and frustrates you.
More succinctly: fark ’em.
If the remarks of the guy with the mike were really felt, I would just say he’s stupid and pitiful. But he’s not. He’s a plant, the whole thing is planned, including McCain’s cutesy boyishness. Remember georgie? From beginning to end, the McCain/Palin campaign is now theater meant to enrage, destabilize, confuse. They are seeking to provoke an ‘incident’ to change the subject and grab the frontpages. Don’t ask me what they have in mind.
