"Is Craig gay?"

I am not sure, but from reading the story I'd say he isn't gay now more like mad! ;-)

This guy apparently speaks the way Obama bowls -- I mean, it's like watching the Special Olympics, right Barry?

Dems can make fun of the handicapped, make fun of someone s ethnic background, and can judge people on the color of their skin. It's OK. It's not fascist when they do it.

It sounds like it would be a blast to have Zero (without a teleprompter) and Deeds giving back to back speeches together. Kind of like watching Jimmy from South Park.

When the BET founder is mocking you and you're a democrat, that's when you know for sure that you're a loser.

Only one month until McDonnell cruises to an easy victory.

Democrats learning what it is like and feels like to receive the “cheap shots” that they have pitched at the Republicans for years.

I will be voting McDonnell, even though the Virgninian-Pilot is trying to convince me he that he is a misogynistic woman hater. Good try guys.

I think that the Dems do stuff like this to get their man the sympathy vote. Like Hilliary when her opponent (got in her face) and turned the whole race around.

IMO, it is a cheap shot, but then again, Dems are king cheap shot artists. Were it the other way around, they’d have started on it long ago.

People with speech impediments are not a politically protected class.

I'm going to get the M-m-m-umel T-t-t-tillis Channel.

(Quote)
In the 32-second YouTube video, shown on MyFOXDC.com, Johnson, who supports Republican candidate Bob McDonnell, is seen telling a group of wealthy donors that Virginians needs a governor “who can really communicate, and Bob McDonnell can communicate.”

Johnson then says, “The other people I talk to, especially his op-op-op-op-opponent, di-di-did this all through my interview with him.”

Groans and muted laughter can then be heard from the group of wealthy donors.

“He could not articulate what needed to be done,” Johnson continued. “So communication is hugely important.”

Am I mising something here? We were bombarded by the likes of Beckel, Begala and the rest about GW’s manner of speaking and now we are to get all wee-weed up about this? Geez, what a bunch of nano-thin skinned kitties, (explicative synonym)!

We shouldn’t let the bad guys be our teachers. If this was regarding something to do with strategy, that would be different. But if a person has a handicap of any sorts, we should let it alone.

She should just apologize and not let this bog down the campaign for even 1 minute. It was meant to be funny but it was rude, and the point should be made that it doesn’t matter how Deeds says anything - it is the content that is lacking.

Good. We need more cheap shots. Throw the sand back in their eyes.

Obama stutters, Biden grew up a stutterer, Marilyn Monroe stuttered. The only one I wouldn’t mind stuttering in my ear in Monroe. Even now, she would be preferable to the other two.

Zero stutters all the time without TOTUS. That never stopped him.
