MEDIA HYPOCRISY: McCain's Crazy Advisor
14 comments on this postSince everyone seems to think guilt-by-association is fair game in 2008, it's time to focus on McCain's friends. Here someone the mouthfoamers (this the term I give to those that are irrationally outraged by the Obama's ties to Rev. Wright, all despite Obama doing nothing but denouncing Wright's out-there statements) keep ignoring: RICHARD QUINN.
Among Richard Quinn's many insane endeavors, he has published racist writings opposing Martin Luther King Jr (did you know: King is why blacks are lazy?), he rooted for KKK presidential candidate David Duke (who Quinn calls the original maverick), and seems to celebrate the murder of President Lincoln (you know, because he let all those slaves get free). Worse, those are just his words; his magazine the "Southern Confederate" supposedly has way more racist stuff (imagine that, a magazine called the Southern Confederate having racist stuff in it).
So here's the thing: all of Quinn's racism was public knowledge (reported by the New Republic, NYT and Newsday) back in 2000. This never stopped McCain. In fact, back in 2000, as this was started to filter out, this scumbag and some racist buddies got dressed up in Confederacy military uniforms to pass out literature in South Carolina, explaining McCain was all for the confederate flag (of course, the sleazeball McCain has flip-flopped on that position, since losing that election). Now that is dedication; someone McCain can truly call "my friend."
Okay, but that was back in 2000. McCain, with the heightened media scrutiny, couldn't possibly have a nut like this as part of his campaign, right? I mean, the media would have trashed him by now if he had not disowned this guy, right? WRONG! In 2008, McCain is still paying Richard Quinn's consulting firm thousands of dollars.
So here's a guess: prior to this, nobody had heard of this racist that John McCain describes as a "fine man" and pays to help his campaign, right?
Way to go liberal media! Maybe when they get over Rev. Wright we will hear more about Richard Quinn, Rod Parsley, John Haggee (okay, I did hear him brought up like twice), Charles Keeting, Terry Nelson and the rest of the goons that McCain considers "my friends."

DEAR HILLARY SUPPORTERS:
I am going to do my best to call a truce. I keep mocking your hopes for her getting the nomination, but the fact is, I would probably keep fighting and hoping if Obama was trailing by the same margin. I still think she has no chance, and I do think Hillary is doing a lot of dumb things that hurt the Democrats as a whole.
But instead of worrying about that, I am going to try to focus on John McCain. He is such a bum and I cannot stand the thought of him being President.
Plus, I am starting to think Obama may pick Hillary as VP, if things don't get too out of control in the next two months.
did you see the kentucky derby?
The horse Hillary picked came in second place, and then they had to kill the horse on the track.
I hope the convention doesn't get that bad for you guys that you euthanize Hillary in Denver

Good one Chuck : you just uncovered the NEW political mafia...Throw in The Manchurian Candidate as their frontman
Good point about the so called "Liberal Media"
I will lead off the mudslinging:
SHAME ON YOU! slamming a fellow Arizonian..there podner
I have a feeling that the Democratic Party will either ridiculously self destruct or do something (VP nomination) incredibly winnable.
Hell Where the hell is H. Ross Perot when you need him?
Have patience Chuck. The media is exploting the Dem. race for ratings and $$$$. You heard little about the Preakness leading up to the Kentucky Derby. Once the conventions are over the press will find a new target to entertain us with their character asassination. They will pick the bones of J. McCain clean. In addition they will sensationalize race, gender, religion, and class differences to entertain the viewers. By the time this election is over the progress this country has made in the these areas will be in peril due to the absurd actions of the press and the overreaction of the populace.
Chuck,
If Obama wins
If Obama asks Hillary to be V.P.
If Hillary accepts
I will not support the Dem. ticket
but in honor of your amazing prediction I will vote for Obama.
I would put that prediction right up there with me becoming the Pope.
Race, gender, religion, and class differences are sensationalized in this blog just as much as it is in the main stream media.
its not so much you need to call a truce, just stop vilifying others who don't agree with you. I reread my comment about your job-and although I apologized there I will say it again here, Your job is a noble and necessary one, despite what I think of your politics and demeanor, I am glad you do it.
Second T-Dawgs comment Chuck, You as pointman/frontman get my respect - Keep up stimulating people to think
The apathetic lumps who are just occupying space in this country are dragging it down.
Praise the Lord that the Project for the New American Century has had its teeth pulled (for now anyhow)
If Fred votes for Obama I think Jesus may arrive at CAK gate D soon
Praise the Lord
PS: all this race, gender demagoguery - I just virtually ignore it and discount the character of those who do it
Praise the Lord2
Petey,
Jesus refused to pay more so he wouldnt be stuck in the middle seat. If he makes to town it wont be by plane.
He is actually here. Never left. You'd never know it
Jesuits and Sisters of the Humility of Mary told me.
I bet he is seriously pissed (if He does "pissed")
Chuck,
Some advice: While your post comparing Obama and McCains "friends" makes a great point, when you constantly use demeaning language i.e. scumbag, losers, ...etc. it takes any seriousness away from your writing and makes you sound like a raving lunitic. Instead tone down the name calling and present your case/arguement. Responding to name calling with name calling makes the whole process look like a couple of 7 year-olds(olders) fighting at recess. Which, by the way, is a big reason I have yet to vote in a Presidential election.
If I were a first time visitor of this site and didn't actually know you, I would read what you had to say and instantly ignore it no matter how good of a point you made.
Sounds like solid constructive criticism to me from one that knows the real Chuck.
constructive criticism from someone who has lived out of the country and not talked to chuck for probably 5 years, but he knows what he's talking about
