OMG - another Obama rant from RIJ

[RIJIMMY]

Heard on the radio this morninr, Madonna kicked off her new tour by showing a massive video which shows McCain along with screens of Hitler and Obama with Ghandi and others. This is the type of crap that burns me up and is so hypocritical of the left. Has McCain ever been associated with any hate? Any racist division? No, but Obama HAS! There is NO doubt that Rev. Wright preached hatred and racial divide and was a mentor for Obama, 20yrs in that church. yet McCain is associated with Hitler. F'in morons.

"I hate the gooks," McCain said yesterday in response to a question from reporters aboard his campaign bus. "I will hate them as long as I live."

Wel, considering the intent of that intro was to get people worked up, I'd say to Madonna...a job well done

I'd also note that it doesn't appear she's saying McCain is racist, although you seem quite defensive of that parallel. She's just putting up the images, how you see them is up to you.

Madonna has a long history of manipulating the public via shock to her own end. They'll run that story right alongside the kick off of the DNC and it will be another well-played publicity coup for the Material Girl. Her last tour was the most profitable of 2006 - it was marked by blasphemy.
She rotates themes: political shock, sex, blasphemy - the standard attention grabbers. Given her income, I'd say she most likely is a closet republican - I doubt she believes in much other than herself.

source?

The "gook" comment is several years old, but it's a real comment. As usual, context is important here, and the context for this comment was that McCain was talking about his prison keepers in Vietnam, that to him that's what they were.

Considering what he went through, I can't blame him for having those feelings. Although as a public figure he should know better than to throw it about before a reporter.

"Its better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you're an idiot than open your mouth and prove it."

Or something like that.

Seeing how you just accused McCain of something that Spence showed to be wrong info, that's ironic.

Using " " is some communist hippy crap.
Carry on.

I thought italics always meant emphasis, which is usually called out if implied but the author.

Likwid, you posted your little blurb about McCain because you thought he said it "yesterday" and now you blame the source you got it from. Throwing out the bigot word like you know he's a bigot is BS. For what he went through, and what he did for the people of this country (all races and religions), for you to call him out for one statement made several years ago is pathetic. Thanks for explaining the italics for me. Just admit you were wrong to post your BS. Don't resort to calling names.

I never claimed he said it yesterday.
Nice try at flipping it around but as always, you fail.

Lets continue now on Palin.
This should be a field day.

Yes, but you can say you're sorry for the unintentional implied context
