McCain Campaign Enters Bat-house Panic Levels!

[berni_mccoy]

I kid you not. I just listened to the McCain Campaign Press Conference on POTUS 08 (XM Satelite Radio). These guys have gone completely off the deep end.

First of all, they shouted at almost every question. SHOUTING. LOUDLY. SPEAKING. RAPIDLY.

I actually heard one of the McCain Campaign people sounding like he was out of breath as he responded to questions!

To summarize their answers:

WE ARE NOT LYING AND THE MSM HAS BEEN UNFAIR IN NOT CALLING OUT OBAMA'S LIES!

OBAMA HAS LOBBYISTS.

REZKO. AYERS! LOBBYISTS! LIES! TERRORISTS!

Keep in mind, these aren't tinfoil freepers. These are McCain's Campaign Staff! (on edit... well we don't really know that they aren't tinfoil freepers)

Chuck Todd was on the line and he asked who McCain was consulting with in Congress regarding the Bailout Proposal by Paulson. Again, in an angry, raised voice: "WE ARE NOT GOING TO DISCUSS THE DETAILS OF THE SENATORS DISCUSSIONS!" I could actually hear Chuck gasp a little.

To the McCain Campaign: Get. A. Grip. Yeah, you guys are down in the polls, but you are not doing your candidate any favors by sounding this desperate or freaked out. And, BTW, attacking Obama with Rezko and Ayers is not really a great idea. Just ask ABC how well that went for them. Ask them what the public thought about those kinds of smear attacks and they'll tell you they aren't hosting any of the Presidential debates. But, you go right ahead if you think that's best. Really. Do it. It explains why you guys are in the position you are.

1. The American people want to talk about the economy not Rezko or Ayers.

[ErinBerin84]

2. thanks for the recap!

haha...I want to hear Chuck Todd gasp. I'll listen to it later.

[MichiganVote]

3. Earth to McSame campaign aides: We're all about to go belly up. We know why.

[PetrusMonsFormicarum]

4. Schadenfreude

I used to think it was a dirty word.

BWA-HA HAH HA HA HA!

[Cha]

11. There's no schandenfreude strong enough

for these fascistwhore$.

Rec'd!

[berni_mccoy]

32. Mmmmmmm.... schadenfreude..... delicious.

[tekisui]

5. The Straight Lies Express is overheating!

Cut them slack, though. They are trying to run a campaign, and squash investigations at the same time.

[panader0]

6. Don't offer the mccane advisors advice

They're doing just fine. LOL

[berni_mccoy]

8. Just doing my part to reach across party lines LOL!

:rofl:

[babylonsister]

7. My advice to the McBush camp? Don't get a grip, party on! Show

that anger! Let's hear it! Go on cnn/m$nbc/faux and make bigger horses' asses of yourself. Bring it on! You report, we'll decide.:P

[Cha]

12. Yeah, let 'em go..

Show us how they feel the pain.

[Greg K]

amen!

Don't tone it down, get whackier! Angrier! Let it all out, that's how you'll win back the voters.

[alsame]

9. Gee, the entire campaign seems to have a temperment problem.

[Cha]

10. Bat Shit Crazy and spiraling down down down.

Good..chuckie todd needs to gasp at these mofos.

[DevonRex]

16. And ain't it fun to watch? Heh heh. Wonder who will be the first to

blow. Hopefully it'll be McCain, but hey, I'll be happy when any of those freaks goes psycho in public.

[Cha]

21. mccain should lead the pack

since he's the most volatile.

[KittyWampus]

13. Hey Berni, do you think they see something in their internals? hmmm, if your take is true to life

it might very well be they see him collapsing in a key state.

North Carolina?

[Blackhatjack]

22. An older Repub today said she did not like what McCain said about the Economy and...

... she was thinking about NOT voting Repub this time.

This happened in North Carolina ... yeah McCain is slipping badly here.

[berni_mccoy]

29. I think it was both VA and NC that has got their panties all in a bunch.

[H2O Man]

14. It ain't pretty,

is it?

[berni_mccoy]

24. Pretty? Nope. Damn great to see? Yeap! LOL!

[DevonRex]

15. I hope they don't get a grip. I hope they totally fucking lose their

miniscule minds and have embarrassingly freakish meltdowns. But then I've always had a little bit of wicked in me. :)

[phrigndumass]

17. They panic because they are used to being ahead in September

and also used to the success they've had in 2004 and 2000 in going negative against the Democratic candidate. "Not this time!"

:hi:

[Overseas]

18. The JSM III campaign team are those elite guys Rove talked about

lined up on the side of the room at a cocktail party making sarcastic remarks about the other guests. Rove pitched that image to represent the opposition, but it was more like a mirror. He was describing the John Sidney McCain III team to a tee. They think the public is stupid.

The public may have been charmed by Sitcom Sarah's colorful life, and they might watch the first ever reality TV show from a governor's mansion-- Governor Barracuda, premiering November 10, 2009 on the E! channel :sarcasm: -- but that doesn't mean they'd vote for the person to be Vice President.

[nc4bo]

19. The Mooselip/Deregulator rally today was particularly vicious

Just disgusting to the point where I just sat there staring at the monitor in total disbelief.

Makes me wish very bad things happen to the GOP ticket.

[MadrasT]

20. 5th rec because I love to see them sweat. n/t

[nichomachus]

23. Time for Obama to ramp up the pressure

They've got to make McCain blow his lid in public. We really need to see McCain screaming obscenities on the evening news.

When he calls a female reporter a c**t on camera, we'll know it's over.

[berni_mccoy]

25. We are almost there. His staff was Ticked. Off. You could tell they hated taking questions.

And it sounded like they were trying to do something else while giving this conference.

[nichomachus]

26. Yeah -- but they need to get McCain himself to the edge

[dgibby]

30. And the best way to do that is to impugn his "honor" and

integrity. How to do that? Accuse him of lying, say that it's unbecoming a US Senator and UNBECOMING AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN. Say that his recent behavior has brought dishonor to himself, his Party, the Senate, the US Navy, and this country. Say that his voting record proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that he has sold out the troops. Then, stand back and watch him self-destruct.:evilgrin: :nuke:

[berni_mccoy]

36. I think Obama knows just what to do at the debates now...

:evilgrin:

[nichomachus]

37. I'm guessing they will have McCain on some serious meds for the debates n/t

[JuniperLea]

27. Get Johnny all riled up for the debate on Friday!

Way to go, McCain campaign! Woot!


:rofl:

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

28. I want to hear Todd Palin's advice on the current economic crisis

"umm, blrrtt, zmmm, moose-burger, ahhhhhhh"

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

31. They are unraveling quickly...

And you know, I think the MSM is finally doing it's job. I see Meredith Viera put the smackdown on McDouchebagg over Carly Fiorna and her golden parachute. I read George Will et al. of the grownup wing of the GOP basically call Mooseburger a joke I've got to think something's afoot. The focus on McDouchebagg's non-regulating past and recent present is particularly refreshing. It goes to one of the basic differences between the left and right.

[unblock]

33. republicans are just adult versions of schoolyard bullies

[uponit7771]

39. yeah but some school yard bullies are smart....NONE of the McSame bullies have an independent though

[saltpoint]

34. Pretty smooth operators, those McCain staffers.

Yessirreebob.

[Danascot]

35. No wonder they lost it

They weren't being shown the proper respect and deference by the librul elite media.

[uponit7771]

38. The mindset comes from the top, a McSame presidency would be bad

[madwivoter]

40. McCain's temper is trickling down through his campaign

I think someone talked about it on KO last night (had it on in the background, maybe Jonathan Alter?). We can only hope his temper/uptightedness/attitude continues to rub off on his staff more and more everyday.

Thanks for posting!
