A Fishmonger Sells Fish. A Warmonger Sells War. Obama Distancing Himself From Schultz Remark Stinks Like a Dead Fish

Diary Entry by Sandy Sand



Shame on the Obama camp for backing away from Ed Schultz' "warmonger" comment.

snip

While warming up the audience prior to Obama's appearance, Schultz flat out said that John McCain is a "warmonger."

Distancing Obama from Schultz, Jen Psaki, an Obama spokeswoman said, "John McCain is not a warmonger and should not be described as such. He's a supporter of a war that Senator Obama believes should have never been authorized and never been waged."

Wrong! A warmonger is exactly what Johnny "GWB" McCain is.

McCain is selling Bush's war; Bush's march to war against Iran; war against anyone who doesn't keep in step to their warmongering tune.

A warmonger sells war.

1. Let Obama take the high road. Schultz got the frame out there.
The media ran with it. Obama looks good and McCain is from now on, the War Monger.

3. That's what McCain does, and it seems to work for him.......
I'm not sure why this article writer would want a pile-on on McCain when Obama still has an election to win. It is not Obama job to side with every comment made by folks that might support him. He's not in this campaign to see who can call who the biggest name. That doesn't win votes. The author of that piece should ask Hillary about negative campaigning......

really look at the quote here:

"John McCain is not a warmonger and should not be described as such. He's a supporter of a war"


Very clever....he did not fully distance from it.

In other words, while Barack Obama will not call him a warmonger, it is subject to interpretation.

You don't have to call someone a warmonger, to know that, they are in fact the definition of one.

5. Once again Obama shows us why he is the man for the job and why he has won the nomination.

There is no place for ugliness, partisan bickering, empty rhetoric, childish name calling and the unusual bush/clinton shit slinging in Obama's camp!!



He is a true leader.
