Re: Another Schoolyard Taunt…

McCain responds to the White House flack by stating “I haven’t got the time or the inclination to respond to the White House flack.”
Stop feeding the beast and quit quoting this media wh0re$ every utterance!

Seconded.
.
Reports like this debase journalism and serve only to encourage meaningless, adversarial soundbites over substantive discussion.

Of course he has time to respond. How long does it take to say no?

Seriously, who cares what McCain says? He doesn’t offer anything to the national discourse but spite. Let him take his ball and go home.
.
Assuming he can pick one of his eight homes to go home to, of course.

Does John really think his campaign is going to benefit if he publicly states that’s he’s going to oppose everything? “I promise to throw a monkey wrench into every piece of legislation” may appeal to the “get off of my lawn” crowd, but isn’t he handing his opponents ammunition and then saying “shoot me”?

McCain has not had anything useful to say in a while, yet the Village continues to give him time to blather. Is Gregory on the ‘phone booking McCain for next Sunday’s MTP?

I’m with sacred — why doesn’t the media ask the right question, such as how could it possibly be in the interest of the country he supposedly puts first to stick his fingers in his ears and shout la la la la?

Think about it Dee: when has the media held McCain’s feet to the fire? After his unfortunate treatment in North Korea he is treated with kid gloves. And he is good with barbecue tongs.

North Korea?

That, and he’s already told us he’s not going to do anything to earn his salary for the rest of the year.

Apologies SacredH: North Vietnam, Mea Culpa!

Longer McCain:

I’m not going to respond because I’d have to then address the substance of Gibbs’ comments. And Gibbs is right – I am acting like a 6-year-old. And I have no justification for acting this way other than that I’m a mean tempered jerk who still hasn’t gotten over losing to this guy in 2008. So I’ll just give an “angry-guy-who-knows-he’s-wrong” response to your inquiry. Btw, did you know I’m the original maverick? Want to ride on my bus? Do you like tire swings?

Only if Coburn andBoehner are unavailable.

Of course, the reason Gibbs is a White House Flack is because his side won the election and McGrumpy lost.

No apology necessary. I thought maybe that he had been passed around like the whore that he is.

How does that saying go? If it’s Sunday….. it must be Meet the Press with President McCain

From maverick to moron. The journey continues.

Please!!!!!!!

He has already responded. Did he not release some statement that called Obama weak??

McCain and Republican leaders are responsible for the out of hand actions of their BASE base.

I am constantly amazed at the ignorance of the so called Republican base and their abject foolishness.

Here is the deal, if some hot shot Senator or Congress man is inciting the lowest rung of the party and throwing out vociferous and wild comments geared to insight civil unrest, right minded people do not go hurling rocks and acting in a vile and savage manner.

If the Congress man or Senator feels so strongly about all the violence they are stoking then THEY should throw the rocks and commit these heinous acts themselves.

At least that is what I would suggest to ANYONE who thinks making a fiery statement would drive me to committing a crime??? How foolish!

McCain is part of the leadership of the Republican party and in addition to everything else he has not done for his home state, and everything else he has done to throw conservative positions in the toilet (until recently) he has shown his bitter defeated soul in the remarks he has made about our able President!

McCain is the poster child for the anger they are trying to inflict on and ascribe to the “American People”. They do not speak for all right thinking Americans. The people they are speaking for, at least for the most part, are the “Rock hurling bigots”.

McCain is a member of the old boys club, an angry rich and bitter man who feels the Senate seat he currently occupies is his birthright!

All right minded people should recognize the vitriol from McCain as the “Republican Party of Opposition” tack.
Oppose, abuse, insult and be a BRUTE in all things. Abandon civility in discourse and go for the jugular and everything else in the crassest way possible in pursuit of your political opponent.

This is the DEMOCRACY we are trying to ram down the throats of other countries???
This one that involves gorillas and savages who act like beasts in this so called “civilized system of governance???
absurd!

Shorter McCain: If elected I will not serve.

Even shorter McCain. If elected I won’t do anything so that makes you an idiot for voting for me.

Or: Meet the Press with Loser McVain.

It wouldn’t matter if it were North Vietnam, North Korea or North Dakota..according to the press his middle name would still be “war hero”

I would third queencersei’s motion but there’s a certain morbid fascination watching McCain’s slow-motion breakdown.

It seems to go beyond, say, Boehner’s “No we can’t!” or Romney’s flip-flopping, or Cantor’s relentless stupidity, all of which seem more or less calculated.

But that said:
.
The fact that Republicans refused to hear testimony from Army, Navy, and Air Force commanders is bigger news than McCain’s latest temper tantrum.

McCain’s acting like a guy that survived a train wreck and then jumps in front of a semi truck. It wouldn’t surpise me if his next coat ties in the back.

I suggest his next appearance on Meet The Press be billed as Meet The Focker.

Please let little Johnny alone , all the little guy wants is attention. Let him go play with his little friends (read GOP) in the Senate.
By the way has little Rushton gone to Costa Rica yet?

Just for another prescription refill.

Has anyone else noticed how much this McCain quote owes to Jack D. Ripper, the general played by Sterling Hayden in Dr. Strangelove, who ordered a nuclear attack on Russia? I think it’s both fitting and revealing.

He is elected and not serving

Too bad Art Linkletter is still not around

I can’t wait for the 2008 election to be over so that every little McCain utterance isn’t reported as news anymore.

Shorter Liberals: Just because your faithful, most omnipotent Messiah is simply screwing up, it’s not a reason to get your panties all in a bunch.

OK we have the Republicans with schoolyard taunts and the DEMOCRATS acting like school yard BULLIES and gangbangers with their SEIU members.. Nice government huh? DON’T throw stones when you live in a glass house.. another good reason to be an independent you can call them like they really are..

Adam, please don’t follow along in Michael’s silly footsteps.

This clip was only a short blip from the interview. It’s worth watching the whole 8 minute reel, if only to watch a testy, short-tempered grump try to respond to perfectly reasonable questions.

Newfreedombra,
“Just because your faithful, most omnipotent Messiah is simply screwing up….”?
…
We’ll try to get you some percription lenses and, maybe, a hearing aid. The man this is about is “…your [Republican] faithful, most omnipotent Messiah…” John McCain screwing up.
…
Obama isn’t in this story.
…
I know that you have him on your mind constantly, but this story is about “are Republicans handling this well”: Y/N.
…
You really need to proof read.

Icy,
“gangbangers”?
That sounds like it has racial overtones and seems very excessive.
…
I can’t speak for anybody else, but, as far as being a “Bully” I was just sarcastic to people I knew who were conservative during the six years of both houses and the White House as I am now.
…
I am prone to being sarcastic to ideas I find ignornat.
…
You will notice, on a different post, I lead a conservative to a link making fun of Democrats.
…
It’s a part of the game.
…
The thing that is not a game is getting quality legislation passed and executed to best serve the people. It appears that Republicans consider that a game and elections alone the only measure of success.

To all the above people who have made negative comments about John McCain.

Your lack of respect for a man that has served his country in a Vietnam prison and still his the physical handicaps from the torture he endured show how ignorant and morally corrupt all of you people on the left who have made these the4se posts are. McCain is a man that was given the opportunity to be repatriated to the USA by the Vietnamese, but turn it down and chose to say with the other American prisoners. The Vietnamese made this offer for propaganda purposes because McCain’s father was an Admiral in the US Navy. This honorable man chose to say and was punished severely by the Vietnamese government.

Not one of you has shown the courage to tell your peers these comments are way over the top and should not be used about this American Hero. Calling him an American Hero is a statement made by President Obama.

Those of you who continue this kind of immoral trash talk about McCain are low life that do not deserve to be citizens of our great country.

Now let’s see who is the first morally corrupt person to defend all of the disgusting comments you have made about this honorable man.

First, how many amazing combat heroes – not generals, just combat heroes – make good political leaders?
…
No more than your average lawyer or doctor.
…
Second, if we think that way, where were you when John Kerry – actually a personal friend of McCain from when they helped open relations to Vietnam – when Bush attacked him every which way?
…
If you were not a Kerry supporter in 2004 for the same reasons you have explained above, then you are just finding a reason to say liberals hate America.
…
If you were a Kerry supporter, then I take my hat off to you.
…
None of us know what we would have done in war if we were not there. However, that does not mean that those who were there must be a pain in the butt as US Senators.
