MSM fires warning shot at Mccain
2/21/08 | Bill Gunn

Posted on 02/21/2008 4:13:42 AM PST by Billg64

It is my thought that the NYT's un-substantiated story about a possible affair with the tele-com representative is nothing more than a warning shot across the bow of the straight talk express. I believe this was in retaliation for Mccain's direct assault on Obama's record or lack thereof after the recent primary.

The real media onslaught has not even begun. The truth or proof of allegations is going to mean very little to these people. The allegation will do the damage. It was a universal axiom that the MSM was going to turn on him.

The irony of the mains stream media's and the sheeple's love affair with Commrade Obama, is that socialists and communists severely restrict the freedom of the media and the freedom of the people to decide.( http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1973487/posts )

Anne Coulter had an article stating the reason (in her opinion) that there are no great men like President Reagan running for office today. Ironically or purposely, it is Mccain's fault because of the advent of Mccain-Feingold. Now the liberal media can fire at him with impunity. Looks like instant Karma is out to get him.

The big difference is that Rudolf Giuliani’s laundry is out on the line for all to see.

If there is something that we don’t know about presumptive nominee McCain, it would have been better to know about it by now.

Of course, I suppose that it may have better served the media’s purpose if they had kept their powder dry till late October. That way it won’t matter if the charges are true or false. Let’s keep in mind that the story is according to “unnamed sources close to McCain”.

It really doesn’t matter whether the charges are true or false, who the candidate is, except that he is a Republican; this is what we can continue to expect from the press.

I hope McCain and this lobbyist sue them for a bundle.

I think The NYTs was snookered by the timing of their release. It just happened that Bob Bennett was scheduled on H&C last night to discuss his new book. Turns out Bob Bennett was hired by the McCain camp to represent McCain and did an investigation of these allegations. He debunked the allegations as innuendo and with out merit. A smear piece!

This is interesting in that Bob Bennett is a democrat.

Again I’m hardly McCain’s biggest fan but I know what having a marxist as President will do to our troops and how much it will help Bin Laden.

But those who will not support McCain don’t give a crap about that.

Also remember I have lived in Illinois my entire life and for the last 4 years have been exposed to the real nature of Obama a lot more than most of you have or at least longer than you have.

The Republican National Committee and msm picked “this turd”.

Why the Republican National Committed picked him I cannot tell you.

The msm picked him because with the exception of Rudy, he will be the easiest Republican to defet in the general election.

"I’ll bring my brother over after the election and you can spit on him to his face."

Up yours! Go ahead and vote for McCain like a good sheep. HE's been spitting in YOUR face for years! You really think he's any different than either of the rat candidates?

If we're going to kiss captured terrorists and enemy combatants asses and give them lawyers, I'd prefer a democRAT do it, but that's all McCain ever has been anyhow.

Again since when is supporting a marxist being conservative?

I have actually met Michelle Obama. My sister in law used to work for her and she attended my brother and sister in law’s wedding. (Barack wasn’t there he was involved in something in Springfield. It was a long time ago I forgot exactly what. They did give a lovely vase)

My sister in law says she makes Hillary look like Ronald Reagan she is even more of a leftist than her husband.

Hey Buddy, how much has McCain been paying you to come on here and post for the last four months? Maybe you should ask for a raise. Idiot!

Inevitably it will become worse. McCain supporters were fools for believing that the kid glove treatment he enjoyed when he ran with the Liberal Democrat dog pack and restricted his attacks to Conservatives would continue when he ran against and attacked Liberal Democrats.

Now all will see the "Straight Talking", "Mr. Integrity" John McCain was a liberal media creation meant only to be used when he did Liberal Democrats' bidding.

If McCain doesn't fall in line (run a Bob Dole campaign) those same MSM masters will flip their script and show the world the Keating-5, skirt-chasing, mean-tempered, double-talking, lobbyist-friendly, wheeler-dealer John McCain instead.

Ha!

It is quite obvious in her remarks of late. She went on a socialist tirade in that speech at UCLA. Her correction to the “for the first time in my adult life....” was to say “I am proud” she did not clarify that she may have had any pride in the US before her husband ran for the position of president.

Why not just change the name of the site to spitonourtroops.com. Or craponreagansgrave.com (what did he say about supporting the party) Or Hillaryorobamaforpresident.com. I’m beginning to wonder if Jim Robinson gets money from Hillary or Obama.

Why don't you just ask him? After all, it is polite to ping another person when you mention them in a post.

I cannot believe the false shock and dismay of the McCainacs, everyone has said a thousand times that a senator has a hard time because of his record and McCain has a bad record. Did they think that the MSM wasn’t sitting him up.

Debate question tonight for Hillbillary..

If the bitch looks osamaobama in his eye tonight and asks him this question, "Senator Obama, in November 1999, Larry Sinclair, who passed a lie detector test today, claimed that you and he engaged in oral sex and used cocaine. Did you?", you will know that the real primary has just begun.

What fun.
