CINCINNATI, Ohio (CNN) -- A conservative radio talk-show host said that "he's had it up to here" with Sen. John McCain after the GOP presidential candidate repudiated the commentator's remarks about Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama at a campaign event.

"John McCain threw me under a bus -- under the 'Straight Talk Express,' " Bill Cunningham told CNN on Tuesday, referring to McCain's campaign bus.

Earlier Tuesday, Cunningham spoke at a McCain campaign event in Cincinnati and called Obama a "hack, Chicago-style Daley politician."

"I have nothing but respect for my Muslim brothers and sisters," he said. "The ones who oppose that particular name, they're the ones with the problem, not me. His name is Barack Hussein Obama."

The radio-show host also compared Clinton unfavorably to first lady Laura Bush during the rally.

"I absolutely repudiate such comments, and again I will take responsibility -- it will never happen again. It will never happen again," he(McCain)said.

Cunningham said McCain "ought to attack Democrats and quit attacking conservatives like me."

"I, for one, regret that John McCain is the nominee of the conservative party," he said.

"But I'm not going to meet him again. I've had it up to here with John McCain. I'm joining Ann Coulter in supporting Hillary Rodham Clinton," he said.

1. All I have to say is this:

:rofl:

[fascisthunter]

2. "conservative party"? What's conservative about it

it's nothing more than an erroneously marketed label for idiots, bigots and fascists who are not proud enough to admit what they really are.

10. The Only Thing They Conserve Is Decency!

[fascisthunter]

17. Somehow They Confused Conserve with Preserve

as in preserving Leave it to Beaver fantasyland.

:silly:

3. (to "Bill Cunningham"): Hey, asshole ...

you threw yourself under the bus with your "comedy bit" (don't worry, he'll resort to that soon) ... McCain, belatedly (and not "quickly" as the MSM is saying) scraped your smelly carcass off the bottom of his shoe like the dog crap you are ...

4. When I was listening to this guy on TV

He sounded nuts. I know he's a radio shock-jock but that type of talking head style doesn't work in person and away from the radio.

5. Suck on it, Billy...

6. This is tag teaming. They're feeding the "he's a moderate" lie. It's deliberate.

This Cunningham person is into it, I bet my left nut.

11. I agree 100%...

its all in the plan!! And how many stupid Americans will fall for it?

[tridim]

7. Keep digging that hole, jerk.

This guy still doesn't understand that his brand of "entertainment" is a huge part of the GOP's problem. None of these RW radio idiots get it, America has rejected old-skool hate politics, yet they just keep plugging along as if nothing has changed.

8. Bill Cunningham is piece of dung

Race baiting, gay bashing, global warming denier, and friendly host
to the Swift Boat Vets for the Truth in 2004 Cunningham is clown who
targets the "meat heads" who don't want to think too much.

Since his stupidity was put on display yesterday he has reveled in his
"fame" and has gone on to say that he had "taken his life in his own hands,"
because the section of the Cincinnati where McCain's speech was,
"Over the Rhine," is an area that is mainly black.

The man surrounds himself with sycophants on air who act as an
"echo chamber" to his hate and ignorance.

9. Good post!

15. Saw him interviewed on CNN

He's disgusting. Kept bringing up the Hussein thing. John Roberts pointed out that Obama is not a Muslim. Cunningham described Hussein as a "proud Muslim name."

[Botany]

16. The man is an idiot.

The boy's name Hussein \hu(s)-sein\ is pronounced hoo-SAYN. It is of Arabic origin, and its meaning is "good; small handsome one"

Also with everything that has happened in the past 8 years America voting
for somebody w/ the middle name Hussein might show the world that we
are adults.

12. Me and my friends in front McCains bus the weekend before the NH primary

13. All I have to say is: ONE DOWN!
