Jeremiah Who? Did You Hear What an Unrepentant Supporter of JOHN McCAIN Said?

Stick this in your pipe and smoke it, FReepers...

April 28, 2008 – Hollywood (HuffPo / apj.us) – Last month, replicating what's been tossed incessantly across the media, MSNBC political analyst Steve Adubato wrote about Jeremiah Wright’s comments and Barack Obama’s reaction to them.

... it's not simply about race, but about judgment and the courage to stand up and confront a longtime friend and supporter who is prominent and influential, and who has also been divisive and dangerous. Wright may have done good things for many poor people in Chicago, but this in no way excuses or explains what I and every other person in the media, as well as every interested American, saw on tape from his disgraceful sermons. It’s inexcusable. It’s unacceptable. While Obama isn’t responsible for those comments, his feigning ignorance that he wasn’t in the pew listening to Wright on a particular day, or that he didn’t know how bad Rev. Wright’s hateful rhetoric was makes him look very un-presidential.

Try this on, Steve...

The same folks that are bombing innocent people in Iraq were the ones who attacked us in America on September the 11th.
— John McCain’s friend and supporter, George W. Bush, July 12, 2007

While Senator McCain has yet to admit to the dazzling comments of his unrepentant friend, he had to have heard what this guy has done. He didn’t have to sit in a pew to hear it. He must have known that his friend has repeated the lies that have mislead the American people into a continued war, dismantling America’s well-being and allowed the man behind the murder of nearly 3,000 Americans to remain free.

1. Excellent perspective. Sadly, this will probably sail right over the heads

of not just Freeepers, but 90% of Amurrika.

Bush LIED. Thousands upon THOUSANDS have DIED. And we the people re-selected the man in 2004.

Bush LIED and our economy is totally in the toilet, Americans are getting their houses and cars repo'd, and vets are sleeping under bridges or in shelters, if they are lucky. Again.

We've had 6 years now to see the shit-storm of American wrath and outrage of THAT in any MEANINGFUL WAY.
