(Former Senator Lincoln) Chafee: Palin a 'Cocky Wacko'
Boston Globe ^

Posted on 09/11/2008 12:35:53 PM PDT by nickcarraway

So much for a respite from personal attacks in the presidential race.

Former Senator Lincoln Chafee, the Rhode Island Republican who is backing Democrat Barack Obama, today stood by his remarks calling Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin a "cocky wacko."

Chafee told an audience Tuesday at the New America Foundation in Washington that Palin has revived a "lackluster McCain candidacy," calling her surprise selection "this firestorm, this tornado, into the whole presidential election."

Responding to an audience member's question, he said her speech at the Republican National Convention had also energized Obama supporters. "People were coming into my office, phone calls were flooding in, e-mails were coming in, 'I just sent money to Obama, I couldn't sleep last night' -- from the left. To see this cocky wacko up there," Chafee said, according to the Associated Press account.

Chafee - Who is this left-wing fascist? I know he was never a real Republican or an American so whatever he says is a total lie.

I had hope that we had heard the last from this sorry POS. One of W’s failings was his support for this POS in the 2006 Republican primary against a far better opponent. Not only was Chafee a closet Rat, but the SOB has endorsed ZeroBama. He is in the same category as John sKerry—a traitor.

I believe that if one posts what is is that they would be banned.

Well, you've got a point. I bet they would hang out at the same clubs.

Another reason why you need to give money directly to conservative candidates instead of the RNC.

You mean like “The Butt Hut”, “The Spanking Monkey”, “The Poop Deck”, or “Buttpluggers” (a fun queer rip-off of Fuddruckers)?

I LOVE the effect Governor Palin has on milquetoast, week-kneed, metrosexual urban men! They're afraid...they're scared! I LOVE IT!

Like wheat from the chaff, Sarah Palin separates real men from the counterfeits.

Isn’t HE what most people would consider a real wacko?

Yup. His opposition to the death penalty for Osama bin Laden qualifies him for that distinction.

Hell hath no fury like a dweeb scorned. Bet the guy never had a date with a pretty girl in his life. You can just see the nasty little wheels turning in his fatuous head: I”ll get ‘em all back for the way they shunned me. There, take that!

We have to find some way to make sure the opposition keeps calling Governor Palin names. What could be a better badge of honor than having Chaffee call you names?
