MSM Calling Bullshit on the McCain Camp Claim of Sexism
Showing at least TWO videos of McCain using the same phrase against Hillary Clinton.

Saying McCain is losing credibility. I'm watching MSNBC right now.

I think this will backfire on McCain.

1. Morons!
I am still calling for a Democratic landslide. The GOP is pandering to its shrinking base. The lies and shennanigans will not attract any independent voters, so they are fighting a loosing battle.

3. Obama drew McCain camp into a trap, and they acted as predicted
Now they look like silly unhinged clowns complaining about a common and mild phrase, demanding apologies for nothing. Plus, whenever they play the clips, they have to show

1) Obama making the strong case for how Mccain is the same as Bush
2) McCain complaining about Hillary's healthcare plan, thereby further alienating Hillary voters

Oooops, freepers: YOU GOT FUCKING PLAYED.

4. I hope you are right. I really do.
I don't have much faith in the American people.

7. Stop hoping and start fighting
The nervousness you have is a condition. Fix it by fighting and asserting.

6. Brilliant! Every insult should be vetted to be sure that McCain has already used it.
That's the perfect strategy. :bounce:

8. Losing credibility? When did he have it?
Maybe you could say he had some back in 2000, but even then, it was questionable.

16. That's what the MSM is saying, not what I believe. No, I don't think he ever had it.

9. Even NPR is calling McSame out on this...
told listeners that the pig reference was in connection with McSame's policies... and mentioned McSame's usage of same line against Hillary.

Mark.

11. McCain/Bush and the GOP are trying to hide behind Palin's skirt.
The war President and the War Hero are afraid to come out and talk about the record.

18. It's called "vetting," McCain; The Obama campaign had a clip of you in hand
saying the same thing, to respond to your inevitable whining.

No way Obama would have said this without it. Well played.
