Here they are!!! Racist, Religious and extremely Dumb!


Makes you really wonder if they will give Obama a shot (no pun intended) but, if I were Obama I'd be more scared about winning then losing. CRAZY...CRAZY Americans on the loose with guns and god by their sides. This ought to get really interesting.

Supporters had shouted "terrorist" and "off with his head" at the mention of Obama's connections to former Weather Underground member William Ayers, whose group bombed federal buildings in protest of the Vietnam War when Obama was a child. The two had worked together on community projects in Chicago, and Obama has denounced Ayers' violent past.

Throwing another bag of microwave popcorn in the nuker. WhoooHooo! Can't wait for the fun to begin.


"And Lord, I pray that you would guard your own reputation, because they're going to think that their god is bigger than you, if that happens. So I pray that you will step forward and honor your own name with all that happens between now and Election Day," he said.

A McCain spokeswoman distanced the campaign from the remarks.

"While we understand the important role that faith plays in informing the votes of Iowans, questions about the religious background of the candidates only serve to distract from the real questions in this race about Barack Obama's judgment, policies and readiness to lead as commander in chief," Wendy Riemann said.


This is just beginning to get interesting. McSames riding the jesus bus.

You spelled "Jebub Sub" wrong!


Anyway, it appears he's trying to put the Genie back into the bottle. Probably got freaked out by the recent events. For that he deserves some credit.

"I would also pray, Lord, that your reputation is involved in all that happens between now and November, because there are millions of people around this world praying to their god ? whether it's Hindu, Buddha, Allah ? that his opponent wins, for a variety of reasons," Conrad said.

:laugh:

This just in: Hindu and Buddha are now gods.



"No, no, he's a decent man. I would never say that he was a terrorist, or that he's a radical Muslim, or that he wishes death to America. But my campaign certainly will hint at such things nonstop, and I approve of those messages."

Hahha... And suddenly Allah is a different god??

I do not think we understand what McCain is doing. Its McCain's job to appear Presidential and above petty personal attacks against Obama. Its the job of various GOP running dogs, especially Palin, to engage in
sleazy attack on Obama and dimocrats in general.

And when the peanut gallery crowd watching McCain's speech wants to hear nothing but sleaze from McCain himself, it knocks that above the fray message off the tracks.

McCain already has that 26% lunatic fringe vote locked up, and now McCain worries that the behavior of the 26% crowd will alienate the other 74% of the electorate.

He is right to worry.

You can see the actual video of the Reverend giving his "prayer" before the rest of the McCain event at this link.

Note how everyone cheers and applauds at the end of the prayer, which frankly says something about the audience at the event in general.

Does it matter what God thinks? The Rev Conrad does God's thinking before God.

Hmm. I must have missed something because I didn't have any problem with the prayer. I thought it strange that people applauded at the end, but outside of that......

DID YOU ACTUALLY LISTEN TO IT?!

Admittedly the about first 50 seconds come across as pretty normal, with the exception being he says that God will directly cause the election's outcome, but then he says the following among other things.

I would also pray Lord that your reputation is involved in all that happens between now and November, because there are millions of people around this world praying to their God -- whether it's Hindu, Buddha, Allah -- that his [McCain?s] opponent wins for a variety of reasons.

And Lord I pray that you would guard your own reputation, because they?re going to think that their god is bigger than you, if that happens. So I pray that you would step forward and honor your own name in all that happens between now and Election Day.

Especially if you listen to the whole video its clear he's actually threatening God if God doesn't have McCain win, which seems to make the Reverend a Christian heretic if anything. He also implies that everyone who isn't Christian supports Obama and suggests there is some sort of religious war going on with the election among other things.

n another exchange, a woman told McCain that she didn't trust Obama because "he's an Arab." Shaking his head and taking the microphone from her, McCain replied: "No, ma'am. He's a decent, family man, citizen, that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues and that's what this campaign is all about."

There are many ways he could have gone on that, what he did was admirable. I like Mac, I have since I read about him back in the 90's. I am disappointed about the trade offs he has made, to get his shot at becoming C&C, but I still respect and admire him. Had he gotten the nomination in 2k, I'd have assuredly voted for him.

However, this election, due to his choice of VP, his advanced age, and the fact I disagree with his stance on some of the important issues, I cannot vote for him.

You sum up my own feelings here as well...
However I must say that I am severely disappointed in the way he has run this campaign. Some of his choices this time around have seemed far less honorable than I expected from him.
