I cannot fucking believe this McCain campaign "Freudian slip" BULLSHIT.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

4146 U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq (http://icasualties.org/oif/)

An economy in which hard-working men and women must choose between heating their homes, putting gas in their cars, paying rent, or putting food on the table.

Jobs heading south at an alarming rate.

And this senile motherfucker's campaign wants to hammer Obama's "Freudian slip."

Fuck McCain, and fuck CNN for giving him the platform.

McCain camp seizes on Obama slip-up
Posted: 04:50 PM ET

From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney



The McCain campaign is seizing on Obama's slip-of-the-tongue.

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/08/23/mccain-camp-seizes-on-obama-slip-up/

(CNN) – Barack Obama accidentally introduced his running mate Joe Biden as the next president of the United States Saturday, a slip-of-the-tongue the McCain campaign is calling "Freudian."

“Barack Obama sounded as though he turned over the top spot on the ticket today to his new mentor, when he introduced Joe Biden as the next president," McCain campaign spokesman Ben Porritt said. "The reality is that nothing has changed since Joe Biden first made his assessment that Barack Obama is not ready to lead. He wasn’t ready then and he isn’t ready now.”

Another McCain aide told CNN Obama "slipped with the truth that his own experience is too underwhelming to be president."

The slip-up came earlier Saturday as the Illinois senator introduced Joe Biden for the first time as his vice presidential candidate, saying "The next president," before quickly correcting.

1. Stupid. They are just desperate.

[JerseygirlCT]

4. And it reads that way... desperation and pettiness.

They're good at pettiness, though. And whining.

[flpoljunkie]

15. Ignore it. Folks aren't accustomed to saying, the 'next Vice President of the United States."

as they are the 'next President of the United States.' It's tellingly pathetic McSame and his band of Rovian henchmen focus on a meaningless verbal slip, but that's what they do and who they are.

They are scared sh*tless of an Obama/Biden ticket.

[Heather MC]

53. I guess this means they have invented a pill to keep McCain from slipping up

:rofl:

[flpoljunkie]

57. As Frank Rich said today, in a must-read column, the media pretty much ignores McCain's slip-ups.

Even McCain’s most blatant confusions, memory lapses and outright lies still barely cause a ripple, whether he’s railing against a piece of pork he in fact voted for, as he did at the Saddleback Church pseudodebate last weekend, or falsifying crucial details of his marital history in his memoirs, as The Los Angeles Times uncovered in court records last month.

2. baha

I'm sure this is going to be a major issue in the election booth.

[babylonsister]

3. They really are grasping at straws; does sound pretty desperate

of them.

[eShirl]

5. they truly have nothing

[shadowknows69]

6. What do you suppose Mr. Freud would say about

Someone who has to wear their military service like a giant cock, sticking it in every hole it can find.

[Kali]

31. ...

:thumbsup:

[gateley]

7. ALL of their attacks are going to be bullshit. They have nothing of substance

with which to harm us. We, on the other hand, have OODLES of legitimate criticisms, and I hope we begin a relentless blanketing of the airwaves sharing this info with the public.

[Catherine Vincent]

8. Obama probably didn't get much sleep last night. Big deal.

McCain and camp are grasping. I'm just checking in....did everyone get their text message?

[blogslut]

9. Biden called our future President BARACK AMERICA

I thought it was the sweetest flub I ever heard.

As for Johnny McSame and the Mansions, keep playing the same old tune.

[Catherine Vincent]

19. What is this? Men in black? :)

They both have million dollars smiles. :)

[blogslut]

40. Thank you

I made it myself! Well, I stole the original and photochopped it. :)

[Kali]

34. Johnny McSame and the Mansions

Excellent! I love it!:rofl:

[Phredicles]

49. Beautiful; I do feel Obama represents many of the best things about us.

:thumbsup:

[TTUBatfan2008]

10. Obama should have paused after he said President...

and said "...of the Senate" and then said "Vice President of the United States."

[frogcycle]

23. that would have been a really cool recovery

but hell, he caught it - more than most would have done

he's heard himself introduced that way so many times it just rolled off the tongue


anybody remember Hubert Horatio Hornblower? :)

[ecstatic]

11. He's disrespecting all of us. Trying to play us for fools nt

[RoyGBiv]

12. Yeah, that's dumb ...

Really dumb.

The phrase "grasping at straws" was made for these people.

[Thrill]

13. ahhahaha weak

[americanstranger]

14. This leads me to make a prediction.

As we've seen since 'Seven Houses' broke, the Rove wannabes that are working on McCain's response team (hell, the entire media shop, for that matter) are in way over their heads. They can't drop a response ad or even a press release without it sounding like a pissy second grader wrote it.

So I predict that McCain will cross the Final Frontier and bring Doughboy Rove in to run his campaign himself - and he'll probably do it before the Dem convention has wrapped up.

Desperate times call for desperate measures - and McCain is for sure feeling all-new levels of desperation about now.

[symbolman]

28. My fellow American Stranger

has Nailed it.. "Rove Wannabees" don't even have the finesse that the original Basterd sheepfucker Rove had.. Even though Rove is a one trick pony, they can't even follow That routine..

Buncha pissy second graders, LOL!

There's a lot of piss in the McCain Kiddy Pool this morning :)

[RollWithIt]

16. I seriously think the Obama campaign should send TY notes to McCain....

It's pretty clear they completely fell for the bait on that one. You think that was a "Freudian slip." That was ON PURPOSE. The point is that we have two men who could easily be President of the United States tomorrow. Subliminal yet effective. Deal with it fucktards (These McCain people are actually getting paid for this shit???)

[nyc 4 Biden]

17. CNN Ticker = Joke

All one has to do is pay attention to the CNN Ticker headlines to see CNN for what it truly is, another broadcast mechanism for right wing talking points. I refuse to visit their site because of this blatantly biased bullshit. The recent Cafferty file comments against McCain were a rare beam of light though the CNN smogfest.

[Bobbie Jo]

18. They've got NOTHING.

....and this is just another example. This is all they've got left.

[LonelyLRLiberal]

20. Believe me - only political junkies would even notice, much less care.

Most folks are not glued to this coverage. They MAY hear about Biden on the evening or late news in a one minute segment.

[frogcycle]

21. agree with your reaction

fortunately, they are reduced to beevis and butthead - type potshots and snickers, because they have nothing - NOTHING else

[Minimus]

22. he is the next president - in eight years - right after Obama

[GrizzlyMan]

24. For every "swing" voter they attract, they lose two with their nastiness

Their campaign is over the top nasty. It's quickly becoming cartoonish in its bitterness and it will be their undoing. Mark it down. Tone matters.

[frogcycle]

27. yep

the hardcore beavis-and-butthead knuckledraggers will continue to snicker over this shit, while the actual human beings will see it for what it is.

sadly, that hardcore is some 35% of the population

[Amerigo Vespucci]

30. The McCain "clean campaign" broken promise:

Grampy McBush...as quoted in this video clip..."would love to" sit down with the Democratic nominee and promise not to engage in "shots at the other person's character"...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2BA_9QJRrE

[mzmolly]

25. I'm glad they admit Biden is ready to "lead." They'll have to find out the hard way

that Obama is too. :)

[Thrill]

26. Yeah because this will change the way people vote. Shows how worried they are

[lamp_shade]

29. Can't we just ignore the stupid thing? It'll be gone soon anyway.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

32. I personally wouldn't ignore it...

...I'd shove it up Grampy "Clean Campaign" McBush's wrinkled ASS.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2BA_9QJRrE

[lamp_shade]

38. How do we rebut something like this?

[Amerigo Vespucci]

41. You can't, it was a slip, BUT...

...the closest you can come to a rebuttal is to position it the way I have in this thread..."McCain focusing on the things that DO NOT MATTER while America is in PAIN."

:patriot:

[lamp_shade]

42. Then we need to start a list of all these stupid

McCain camp ads and "statements", list them in one all-encompassing ad, essentially making fun of their desperate attempts. It would be a hell of a lot cheaper.

[TTUBatfan2008]

44. Iran is helping Al Quaeda in Iraq...

That's the biggest one so far and it's a REPEATED one. Yet the media won't call him out on it. If you don't even know the difference between a Shi'ite dominated country like Iran and a Sunni-dominated organization like Al Quaeda, then how the fuck is it that you've been allowed to pass off the idea to the public that you are ready to deal with foreign policy?

[Cha]

54. Maybe Obama will come out and say something?

I haven't heard it..but, it sounds like one of those times when he said something about "57 states". Obama knows we have 50 states and he knows Joe Biden is going to be the next Vice-President of the US so it's really a non starter except if your name is desperate-mccain.

[lamp_shade]

56. I agree that's the best way to handle this crap. I have a real problem

spending good campaign dollars rebutting these crappy statements. We've got better things to do with it.

[Epiphany4z]

33. hell if that is all they got

we did good....they sound like they are grasping at straws.

[Life Long Dem]

35. Your talking about Obama.

Was it a slip of the tongue? I don't think so. Biden is now elevated to take on McSame and McSame is taking the bait. Next Obama lets Biden stretch his legs a little in attacking McSame.

And I saw how Biden handles himself against McSame. And all I can say is I LOVE THIS TICKET!

[thoughtcrime1984]

36. Time for for the Obama campaign to

grab some more shit out of the McCain Bag O' Despair to show the dimwits on the tubes. And I thought the Mark Penn-run campaign was bad, the McCain campaign is utterly rancid, which suits their candidate.

[Mark E. Smith]

37. Time to start working on McCain's "Freudian Slips" ..

All 900 of them.

[Overseas]

39. I caught the slip and wondered what some mean person would do with it.

They've got nothing else. Gotta keep smearing.

Made me mad that the cable news stations gave John Sidney McCain III's team so much free publicity for their next negative ad. I'm sure JSM III had a few ads ready to go too, based on different scenarios. They knew they could trust CNN and MSNBC to play the ad over and over as they filled up the hours of coverage time set aside for the announcement.

Gotta stop this thing of just putting a little TV-set frame around an ad then making it okay to play the ad over and over again. That was the big deal instituted a few years ago to show they were discussing an ad rather than just playing it full screen repetitions of yore.

Instead of just saying JSM III created a quick response ad... they play it over and over. Gee thanks fellas. Hope you'll play the quick response ad Obama's team sends you to play over and over when JSM III picks.

[Vinca]

43. I figured the old coot would pound Obama for picking on people

with stutters. That's probably coming.

[lamp_shade]

51. Faux interviewed a neurosurgeon an hour or so ago and

asked about aneurysms. The man confirmed that once they're repaired the probability of recurrence is negligible. She asked about Cheney's heart attacks and he said "Now that's an issue that stays with you forever". She ended that interview rather hastily. I laughed. BTW, don't tell anybody I was watching Faux. I caught hell here for that yesterday.

[Vinca]

55. Nothing like a neurosurgeon who won't go along with the plan. LOL.

[ladywnch]

45. skizzelbritches really wants to go there????? he really wants to go after

verbal gaffes?!?!?!!!!! he IS a walking verbal gaffe!!!!

[Cha]

46. mccain better watch his fucking mouth from now

on 'cause I guarentee his freudian slip will be epic.

[Phredicles]

47. Anyone remember Bush I saying he and Ray-gun had had sex?

Apparently he meant to say 'setbacks'. I don't remember the media probling the meaning of that little slip-up (in fairness, doing so would no doubt have provoked a massive national trauma, of course :scared::puke: )

[ladywnch]

48. skizzelbritches really wants to go there????? he really wants to go after

verbal gaffes?!?!?!!!! he is a walking verbal gaffe!!!!!!

[Barack_America]

50. "AS PRESIDENT, I WILL VETO ALL BEERS!"

LIVs don't know what a Freudian slip is, but they do understand when their beer is threatened.

[ladywnch]

52. skizzelbritches really wants to go there????? he really wants to go after

verbal gaffes?!?!?!!!! he is a walking verbal gaffe!!!!!!
