AMERICAblog: McCain Finance cochair in Florida passes around joke about murdering Obama and his wife

  • gumbygirl · 1 year ago
    He claims he "didn't fully read it", but he sent it to a whole bunch of people. What a fucking liar.
  • sukabi1 · 1 year ago
    he didn't lie.... what he was referring to when he claimed he "didn't fully read it" was the list of recipients he sent it to... he meant to remove ALL the reporters from the list and missed a few....

    Why are the Rethuglicans inciting their followers to murder Obama? I thought they were the moral ones...NOT!!!

    I say we should start circulating jokes about McCain needing Viagra to satisfy Cindy.

    You mean Vicki Iseman
  • MC_Haiku · 1 year ago
    McCain wouldn't screw Cindy with Karl Rove's dick. Neither would Karl, but that's another story.

    I hope the secret service gets involved in this. These people are scary.

    Typical angry and violent Republican rhetoric.
    Followed by typical Republican lies: "I didn't read it" "I didn't mean to send it" "mistake".

    The GOP has nothing but anger, hate and violence to offer the Nation.

    When is a joke a joke? When it is funny and that "joke" isn't even funny UNLESS you are 100% racist and believe black people have no value as human beings.

    I put nothing pass these people who claim the moral high ground.

    After Obama is elected...I think the US will need to re purpose Gitmo.
  • hawkseye · 1 year ago
    The best idea I've seen in a long time.
  • ezpz · 1 year ago
    Will McCain be asked to *repudiate* this?

    Somehow I don't think it will even come up.

    But what WILL come up, I would bet, is whether Obama will repudiate John Lewis's comment.

    So the pro-lifers think murder is funny.......strange how they think life stops at birth...

    This is the beauty of the republican party. It is typical. I call them the three R's, the Rich, the Red necks, and the Racists.. Only they would think that was funny, and only they would pass it around. Thank God that type is in the minority. The one main thing I believe that seperates Democrats from Repuks is that Dems use their brains for thinking. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out what they use theirs for yet. I guess it is just to keep their ears apart.

    I hope this has been brought to the attention of the Secret Service as well as other LE agencies.

    This is NO joke!

    I just read that Dick Lugar endorsed Obama.

    http://www.cqpolitics.com/wmspage.cfm?docID=new...

    That's the ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, folks.

    Wow!
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    Ah, wait!

    I guess I read that wrong.

    He endorsed Obama's methods, not necessarily his candidacy.

    Wimp.

    I DANCE on the grave of the rethuglican party (hey-maybe a good idea for halloween)!

    OT:

    The California Teachers Association has given $1,000,000. to the No on Eight campaign. I am a Life Member and very proud of my union.
  • boloboffin · 1 year ago
    I almost believe that he didn't read it fully before forwarding it. I suspect that if he had, he never would have forwarded it to as many people as he did.
  • ChicagoKid · 1 year ago
    OT: On CBS when asked about politicians cheating on their wives, McCain said he wouldn't comment. I wonder why?
  • Soundboy_jeff_meanie · 1 year ago
    the man's obviously a complete moron...

    not only for the tasteless joke. but given the fact that he's a real estate developer in today's economy AND working to get another repugnican elected.

    masochist maybe?

    OT, but speaking of jokes, I just received this from a friend.

    The other day I went downtown to run a few errands. I went into the local coffee shop for a snack. I was only there for about 5 minutes, and when I came out, there was this cop writing out a parking ticket.

    I said to him, 'Come on, man, how about giving a retired person a break'? He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. His insensitivity annoyed me, so I called him a 'Nazi.'

    He glared at me and then wrote out another ticket for having worn tires. So I proceeded to call him a 'donut eating Gestapo.' He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first.

    Then he wrote a third ticket when I called him a moron in blue. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more I talked back to him the more tickets he wrote.

    Personally, I didn't really care...... I came downtown on the bus, and the car that he was putting the tickets on had one of those bumper stickers that said, 'McCain in '08'. I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm retired.

    The doctor tells me that it's important for my health.....

    There is no bottom to the cesspool that is the McCain campaign and the Republican party. Attwater and Rove trained them well.

    . . . and when does the U.S. Secret Service investigate???

    Or, are they part of the "club?"
  • hawkseye · 1 year ago
    I would imagine they are.

    McPantsonfire should have to pay the bills for Secret Service investigations for this kind of crap.
  • hawkseye · 1 year ago
    It makes me weak to think about this.

    Good God, deliver us from the Republicans.

    He will be visited by the Secret Service. This is a clear violation of law.

    Here is a very interesting detailed article about the Secret Service during this extraordinary presidential campaign.

    Note the following report from the article.


    The decision to protect Obama early stemmed from real worries that the first serious African-American candidate for president could face danger. The Secret Service says Obama never received a specific threat against his life before his Secret Service detail was assigned. But agents on the Secret Service’s Internet Threat Desk discovered a number of vaguely threatening and nasty comments about Obama on the Web. Many of the comments appeared on white supremacist Web sites.

    Earlier this month, the Secret Service arrested Raymond H. Geisel in Miami after he made a threat against Obama in a training class for bail bondsmen. A member of the class heard Geisel say, “If he gets elected, I’ll assassinate him myself.”

    When arrested, he had a loaded 9-millimeter handgun, knives, dozens of rounds of ammunition, body armor, a machete, and military-style fatigues in his hotel room. He was charged with threatening a presidential candidate, a federal offense.

    He will be visited by the Secret Service IF someone remembered to report this to the Secret Service. Hopefully, the Secret Service reads Americablog.
