McCain's Mum: 'Johnny' Is The One
Roberta McCain: Campaigning for her 'Johnny'

{snip}

"Mrs McCain is not unimpressed by the family history of Barack Obama."

She criticises his father for getting both Mr Obama's mother and another young girl pregnant at an early age and leaving his wife and child for another woman.

She also describes Senator Obama's background as "white".

"Come on," she says, "he went to Harvard University paid for by people like me and your family while my daughter couldn't go to Harvard, couldn't think about it.

"He is more white than you and I and my son are!"

She also criticises Mr Obama's treatment of Hillary Clinton: "She was not treated nicely at all by Obama and it bothers me a lot.

"I don't think my son would treat anybody that way because I didn't bring him up that way."


. . . old woman, but c'mon. It's clear where McCain is coming from.

[Fuzz]

4. Please

[DS1]

3. Okay, raisin, how did Barack get into Harvard when your daugther could not?

And who pays for Harvard scholarships?


Idiot.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

8. Back then, women weren't admitted to Harvard.

[DS1]

9. oh. haha

still, I doubt she helped pay for Barack to go

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

31. That mean old bat was probably implying he got into Harvard through Affirmative Action, which he

didn't. It was all through his own brilliance. Just imagine, her lily white son got into the naval academy because daddy was an admiral. He finishes almost at the basement of his class. And who's running against him, this black man who finished first in his class at Harvard Law..it really gets to her caw.

[Tallison]

23. Nice racist implication that Blacks don't go to Harvard?

And that Blacks who do are really white? I'm so tired of that ignorant shit.

Die out, old woman, and take your bigotry with you.

[bluethruandthru]

5. So that's what she's mad about.....

Obama went to Harvard on a scholarship..but her daughter was too stupid to get in even though they had plenty of money! :rofl:

[malaise]

6. Is this woman serious

She criticises his father for getting both Mr Obama's mother and another young girl pregnant at an early age and leaving his wife and child for another woman.

Didn't her son leave his injured wife and kids for a trophy wife with money?

[DireStrike]

7. Wait, McCain's mother is ALIVE?!

What the hell is she, a mummy? She must be thousands of year old! She probably knows people from the bible!

Jeez, it's like that one episode of the simpsons where you hear that Mr. Burns' mother is alive.

"All she can do... is dial, and yell."

[nomorenomore08]

13. "Your mama's so old, she went to the Virgin Mary's baby shower!"

Sorry, sorry, old joke from elementary school... :P

[jeff30997]

10. His mother is still alive ?

Wow!She must be...well, so old that Johnny is calling her mummy.:evilgrin:

[Gwendolyn]

11. Huh? Her own son left his severely ill wife and kids for a younger woman.

By all accounts he's called his second wife a c*nt in public.

And what's she implying about him going to Harvard when her daughter couldn't? Hmmm...

Incredible.

[nomorenomore08]

19. It's okay for Republicans to do that, because Jesus knows they're good Christian people deep inside.

Unlike, you know, those godless Democrats. :sarcasm:

As for the Harvard thing, it's the same old myth that affirmative action gives minorities an unfair advantage, when it's really just an attempt (maybe sometimes flawed, but well-intentioned) to level the playing field. But since these lily-white Republican types tend to be born on third and think they hit a triple (wonderful expression, that :)), they see it as an already level playing field being manipulated for the sake of "political correctness." Of course their argument is total bullshit, with obvious racist overtones, but that doesn't stop them from making it over and over again.

[Gwendolyn]

26. I see someone else posted that women weren't allowed in back then.

That makes what she said even more racist, if it's possible.

Btw that is a great expression. I think I'll be passing it on. :)

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

12. Did it ever occur to her that perhaps, just perhaps

the reason Obama got into Harvard and her daughter didn't had to do with his BRAINS??????

[patrice]

14. That is a frightening face.

[jeff30997]

18. Yes it is !

I'll never be able to sleep tonight.:scared:

[Arctic Dave]

15. This is the nag without her make up

Warning graphic

[nomorenomore08]

20. Yeesh... Is that a cenobite (from the "Hellraiser" movies)? Sure looks like one.

:scared:

[Arctic Dave]

25. I believe she is the mother of the cenobite.

Don't quote me though.

[theoldman]

16. I would like to introduce her to my wife's niece.

A poor young girl who graduated at the top of her class and won a scholarship to yale.

[renie408]

17. If her daughter was anything like her son, she was too stupid to go to Harvard. n/t

[bigtree]

22. he has one fucked up family

Joe "McCarthy" McCain with his Virginia "communist" crack . . .

[mitchum]

21. Queen Victoria always said that she was a bitch

apparently, she was right

[Catherine Vincent]

24. Oh damn. I kinda liked McCain's mom.

She appeared to be a very nice lady.

[City Lights]

27. Your daughter couldn't go to Johnny's high school either, dearie, so WTF is your point?

Why are you comparing your daughter to Obama? Why didn't Johnny go to Harvard, Roberta? Couldn't pull any strings there, eh?

Ugh. This is a clear case of the turd not falling far from the asshole. What an angry, bitter, old woman. She's McNasty the First.

[kiranon]

30. Daughter also couldn't have gone to any military academy and we all pay for that.

McCain was educated on the people's dime.

[LynnTheDem]

28. A wee bit of an elitest racist person.

[stillcool]

29. So Johnny has a sister?

Strange I know alllll about Obama's family, but very little about Johnny's.

[brettdale]

32. I felt like Homer in that simpson's episode

"Mr Burns has a mother?????"

[JanMichael]

33. but, she raised a loser who left his disabled first wife and then sued her

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/08/18/mccains-mother-sued-his-f_n_119548.html

uh huh.

[Political Tiger]

34. She's more senile than "Johnny"

"I don't think my son would treat anybody that way because I didn't bring him up that way."

Ummm, hello?? Has she not watched her son's campaign which has consisted of nothing but lies, smears and blatant racism?

[KitSileya]

35. "I don't think my son would treat anybody that way because I didn't bring him up that way."

?! This from a woman who abused her kid by putting him in ice cold baths instead of getting him professional help for his temper tantrums? And she criticises Hillary Clinton for embracing Obama while her son hugs Bush who smeared his wife and daughter?

As all repukes, she's a big old hypocrite!
