McCain is losing his cool live on TV

[thewiseguy]

He was talking at a picnic in Maine and then angrily said there was this ad about General Petreaus on NYT last year by Moveon.Org and that Sen Obama refused to vote on a resolution condemning that ad!

Fox News cut away from McCain's picnic rally and they began to repeat the story that NYT would not publish McCain's essay. They sound so pissed. :rofl:

Just for McCain's eyes:



Bottom Line: Shut the fuck up McCain

[gateley]

1. Great pic -- where did it come from?

And that IS Patraeus between Obama and Hagel, right? It occurs to me that I never saw him smile during the SFRC hearings, so this is a new look for me. :7

[my3boyz]

4. I know! I was thinking the same thing! Betcha he never smiled for McSame! nt

[thewiseguy]

5. That picture is from CNN and it was taken this morning

Petreaus and Obama smiling together has made McCain lose his freaking mind. He was looking so desperate trying to bring that old story up.

I am sure Petreaus would have told him to shut up if he was there.

[Ganja Ninja]

11. I don't think that's Petraeus.

He's wearing an Army Rangers patch and Petraeus is a Marine.

[thewiseguy]

14. Thats Petreaus

He accompanied Obama on a helicopter from the airport to the greenzone today, before Barack met with Maliki.

[Ganja Ninja]

32. What do you know, here I thought he was Marine all along.

I guess I wasn't paying that close attention.

[TwilightGardener]

15. Petraeus is Army, and that is Petraeus.

[Vinca]

36. I didn't recognize him with the smile. It speaks volumes. nt

[flpoljunkie]

2. McCain sounded a more than a little desperate

[TwilightGardener]

3. Hagel sitting there is a giant stick in McCain's eye. Lovin' it.

[Eurobabe]

say when they get home. Give us the facts please.

[Eurobabe]

6. Awesome pic!

Suck it McCain't!

[ErinBerin84]

8. the right wingers have been trying to use that trick on both Obama and Clinton forever

McCain actually said this? Good news! He is really desperate and clinging to the bottom of the barrel now!

On the April 9 edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe, author and Fox News contributor Bernard Goldberg falsely claimed that Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama "didn't condemn" MoveOn.org's 2007 newspaper advertisement, which criticized Gen. David Petraeus and referred to him as "General Betray Us." Goldberg stated: "hether you're a Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative, you just don't -- you don't take out a full-page ad in The New York Times and refer to a man who's dedicated his life to his country as 'General Betray Us.' But two people didn't, didn't condemn the ad: Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama -- who not only want to be president, but commander in chief." In fact, both Clinton and Obama voted for an amendment offered by Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) that condemned the ad, among other attacks on past and present members of the armed forces.


The Boxer amendment "strongly condemn attacks on the honor, integrity, and patriotism of any individual who is serving or has served honorably in the United States Armed Forces, by any person or organization." Of the MoveOn.org ad it stated: "On September 10, 2007, an advertisement in the New York Times was an unwarranted personal attack on General Petraeus, who is honorably leading our Armed Forces in Iraq and carrying out the mission assigned to him by the President of the United States" It also criticized Republican-backed attacks on Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) concerning his military service, as well as attacks on former Sen. Max Cleland (D-GA), a veteran.

[thewiseguy]

16. I bet you he was angry about that picture.

There was no other reason for him to bring up the Moveon ad and Obama's response to it.

[ErinBerin84]

20. heh...McCain reminds me of that little Teapot song!

"When I get all steamed up, then I shout...tip me over, and pour me out!"



and in the mean time, more glowing reviews from Obama's trip to Iraq! Just saw on MSNBC that Vice President Tariq al-Hashimi called Obama "precise" and "specific" in their meeting that just took place, and praised him for being aware of issues in Iraq.

[President Decider]

9. Make no mistake about it ... McCain will lose it on national TV

The guy is a walking powder keg ready to go off at any time. Soon, his people won't be able to save him from getting caught in one of his infamous angry tirades.

Once this happens, McCain's ship will sink fast.

[my3boyz]

12. I can't wait for that to happen! My mom (58 yrs old) said that

that old man needs to go sit down somewhere. She said he is not going to win. LOL

[bdamomma]

28. yea, and the Dean scream will mean nothing.

[VolcanoJen]

29. Welcome to DU!!!

You're so right.... man, it was only a year or so ago that I kept saying, "The best thing that could ever happen to the eventual Dem Nominee is if the GOP is dumb enough to nominate McCain."

Sometimes, dreams really do come true!!! ;-)

If we're really lucky, the biggest meltdown will come smack-dab in the middle of a Presidential Debate being watched by 40 million voters. :-)

[elehhhhna]

38. the second bet thing wil be if he makes Rdy his VP candidate...

the old Cripsy Critter and the Lispy Lizard. Quite a pair!

[Tempest]

10. If they wanted McCain's OpEd printed

The Repugs should have never done away with the Fairness Doctrine.

Let 'em cry all they want about it.

[depakid]

25. The fairness doctrine has never applied to the print media

[VolcanoJen]

13. Just saw it on MSNBC... he looked like crap and he sounded like a desperate fool.

I was really hoping he'd repeat his "The situation on the Iraq-Pakistan border is perilous" gaffe. :-)

[katmondoo]

17. Will Patraeus get into trouble for this photo

Looks like he is enjoying being with Obama.

[thewiseguy]

19. McCain was as angry as I have seen him

He was angry and desperate, addressing a picnic rally while Obama and the 3 major TV anchors are on a tour. :rofl:

[SeaLyons]

34. Awesome pic....

K&R
:kick:

[hlthe2b]

18. I know I loved the subject line, before I even clicked through!

:rofl:

[Maccagirl]

21. General Petreaus, I'd like to introduce you to your next CIC

Barack Obama.

[FogerRox]

41. Exact-a-mundo. I'm sure the General was happy to get some face time, with the eventual 44th Pres.

[high density]

22. Yes that seems to be the current McCain attack: The "Betray us" guilt by association tactic

I saw a clip of McCain saying the same thing on CNN HN this weekend.

[librechik]

23. that damn liberal media! Always favoring the Dem over the GOP !

:sarcasm:

well, there's always a first time...

[PearliePoo2]

24. Oh! I sooo have to recommend this one!

The tide is turning baby and it ain't going back out!
Feel it! Feel it!:toast:

[Skidmore]

30. Is there onea video of this somewhere? Anyone?

[uponit7771]

35. I heard a part of it on radio, he sounded artificialy "angry" and yelling for some reason

[Imagevision]

33. can you imagine the one on one debates? McCain will blow it bigtime, can't handle exposed as wrong

[ForeignSpectator]

37. Yeah, a simple headshake supposedly cost Gore the election... I am soo waiting for McC**t to blow...

:popcorn:

[unblock]

39. mccain never HAD cool.

[Voice for Peace]

40. I imagine Petraeus is immensely relieved to be meeting with Obama.

I remember seeing him being questioned in Congress & he had a look of relief when talking to Obama, like here is finally someone I can work with.
