Yeah, and I’m sure Webb has the best interests of McCain in mind when he’s offering him his sage advice. He...he only wants to...help him.

Webb is a weirdo who constantly uses his own service and his son’s!

What are you going to do, Senator Webb? Punch him in the face?

“Webb weighed in on the debate over retired Gen. Wesley Clark’s remark that “riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down” isn’t “a qualification to be president.”

Senator Webb, are you trying to convince me, myself and I, all three of us, that we should prefer an admitted dope smoking, cocaine snorting, community organizer instead of the guy you paint as a fighter plane passenger that ended up in a plane that just happened to get shot down?

In the vernacular of my wild and misspent Jersey yute: “you a funny guy”.

Oh I’m sure they want McCain to refrain from mentioning his military service, his days in the House, his time in the Senate...

Obama’s team is always good for a laugh if nothing else.

McCain’s team should make some demands in turn. Obama shouldn’t mention his oversight of a project developemnt. He shouldn’t mention his failure to vote many times in his state level office. He shouldn’t mention that he’s only been in the Senate for a few years, hasn’t accomplished anything his whole life.

Wasn’t it Webb who used sexual exploitation of children in one of his books? He should calm down about things like that before we are forced to remind him.

Yeah, and then there was that big rally in front of City Hall in Alexandria, VA the night before the election - starring Bubba Clinton(who was late - what a surprise). I have never heard such garbage in my life. And all the adoring, chicken sh*t lefties loved it.

Mr. Webb is a lousy senator and shall remain so. You’d never know the man was in office, except for imbecilic outbursts like this one.

Thank you for your anal retentiveness, Senator Webb. It has been a boon to the nation.

Desensitizing the McCain as patriot with character advantage. Say enough outrageous things so the fed up public (with MSM support) will want to remove the patriotism issue from political calculus.

That Clark and Webb are military men is disgusting. Blatant opportunists.

Some clueless woman just called Rush claiming that nobody cared about either Barry or McCain because people are suffering!

It already started with a woman caller to Rush.

"the Republican should avoid using military service in politics."

I guess it's OK for Webb and other Democrats to tout their awesome military accomplishments, regardless of the fact that many of them haven't supported the military since they left. It's only Republicans who aren't supposed to talk about their own service.

We must rally against the OBAMA machine. This is typical style of OBAMA campaign. Read his past campaign strategies.

He plays the good guy while his managers and minions tear apart the strongest points of his opponent. He takes whatever the media is presenting (out of his own campaign) and then sheds light...takes the nice guy approach disowning what was said.....he is ahead of the game.

It was Obama’s preacher that spoke out against AMERICA and Whitey....OBAMA makes the speech of the year!

Obamas campaign started the RACE card against Clinton....Obama comes back and Unites with her....

Obamas campaign cleverly had him go without a flag lapel and now WE QUESTION PATRIOTISM? So Obama speaks for the people who may not wear a pin, but are just as Patriotic!

NOW HIS PARTY IS SPEAKING ABOUT MCCAINS SHOW OF PATRIOTISM.... Obama gets to side with McCain and of course ride on the coattail of McCain....Because he sides with him.

HE IS CLEVER...BUT NOT TOO CLEVER...WE ARE CATCHING ON.

NICE TRY OBABA....YOUR CAMPAIGN IS FULL OF LIES AND SKEEMING
MEN. CLINTON SAW IT TOO LATE. MCCAIN AND HIS FOLLOWERS WILL NOT.

sorry for the caps......I am on to this turd!!

That is exactly what I believe why Clark was sent out to say what he did. The Obama folks thought they could set off the much-reported McCain temper.

Yet another “unofficial” member of the Snob’s campaign continues the theme for the week.

Hypocrite Webb should STFU about McCain’s military service.
