McCain and His Band of Pedophilers

I would suggest putting John McCain's soul up on eBay. But it's no longer worth two cents.

The despicable Obama Sex Education ad by the McCain campaign shows that McCain is willing to scrape down to the bottom of the filthiest latrine. His fingernails stink so much, he must need air fresheners strapped on round the clock.

What McCain has done is embrace Karl Rove's brand of politics. Steve Schmidt, his senior adviser, is an old Rove colleague -- I mean henchman.

This sex-education smear is straight from Karl Rove's playbook. From his resume. Rove seems to have a thing for pedophilia. In 1994 in an Alabama Supreme Court judge race, he used a pedophilia smear against his opponent, Democratic Judge Mark Kennedy, running for reelection and known for his work with needy children.

From Joshua Green in The Atlantic:

Some of Kennedy's campaign commercials touted his volunteer work, including one that showed him holding hands with children. "We were trying to counter the positives from that ad," a former Rove staffer told me, explaining that some within the See [Rove's client] camp initiated a whisper campaign that Kennedy was a pedophile. "It was our standard practice to use the University of Alabama Law School to disseminate whisper-campaign information," the staffer went on. "That was a major device we used for the transmission of this stuff. The students at the law school are from all over the state, and that's one of the ways that Karl got the information out--he knew the law students would take it back to their home towns and it would get out." This would create the impression that the lie was in fact common knowledge across the state. "What Rove does," says Joe Perkins, "is try to make something so bad for a family that the candidate will not subject the family to the hardship. Mark is not your typical Alabama macho, beer-drinkin', tobacco-chewin', pickup-drivin' kind of guy. He is a small, well-groomed, well-educated family man, and what they tried to do was make him look like a homosexual pedophile. That was really, really hard to take.

What's next, John McCain, beside the Rovian big lies and smears and sneers: Goons in funny shirts smashing up Democratics gatherings?

This isn't "bare knuckles" politics -- this is much darker and disgraceful.

John McCain has lost his claim to honor. He is a dishonorable man, unfit to be president. He is Bush's moral clone.

Abraham Lincoln, American and Republican, pukes in his grave.

Thank you! I immediately wrote to Senator McCain to tell him exactly how disgusting I found this ad of his. It doesn't matter who in his campaign thought of it, although his team is a band of criminals, I am sure he gave his approval and he is the 'leader' here.
He has proven himself to be a lying, sick, filthy, dishonorable, vile, sleazy, dirty, old man.

We need to fight back hard to make sure that Senator Obama wins this election so that John McCain can go search for his lost honor.

I have question about the networks agreeing to carry this ad. I think that the media needs to have standards that review all election advertising broadcasting on radio, television, and via stations online that review the facts because in my view if any station runs these malicious, sick, false ads, they are perpetuating slander and sharing responsibility for their content! We need a referee of sorts in the media that says 'that's out of bounds' and we won't run it!!! I see no other way to stop this lowlife politics. We as the american people need to demand it! I am going to research where this ad is playing... on what media stations and that is where the american people need to start focusing our attention. We have to fight back!!

I am sick of he lies, the abuse of power, the hypocrisy, the wasting of our money and energy, and the sleaze!
Enough!!

So...tell me all you folks who are "undecided­,"........­..are you willing to subject America......in her time of great need....to four more years of Republican bullshit? These are not Americans.....they are crass opportunists who care not a whit about their country. They are pure bullshit!

[brief candle]

He is an evil man cloaked in religion. Why do people keep falling for their lies? 9/11 happened on their watch, but by way, we're the only party that will keep you safe. They lied about going to war and the economy is in a downward spiral. They call tax cuts for the wealthy, economic stimulus, but call tax cuts for the middle class socialism. Unbelievable.

Karl Rove. He lives to see how badly he can hoodwink the American public.

And Why not? It worked twice with George W Bush.

[JTaverner]

There is a special, special place in the Hell realm of the Cosmos reserved with great anticipation for Karl Rove.

McCain was desperate. He tought bringing a babe with an empty title "governor" even without real executive experience (apart from oil, drill, but a failure in other social problems of her state) he can pull the wool over voters' eyes for the short time until the GE. But just one week passed already their Rove-creat­ed-persona had proved to be a straight-faced liar worse than McCain in that she disguises it under the guise of a pitbull with lipstick. Her story are full of half truths and the lies are disgusting. Men may be hoodwinked by her beauty but women are suspicious. It turned out, this governor worked only part-time staying home with her children but claimed per diem allowance anyway on top of her full-time governor salary. That is very different from all the women who either have to work without their children hanging around to distract them or they don't get a job. And earmarks from federal? She had 450 millions during her two years just as Obama, 500M for 2 years but her state has 670,000 persons while Illinois has nearly 14 millions. No wonder her earmark is the highest per person over the other 49 states. And, she is still spewing out the lie about the Bridge to Nowhere!

What is it with neocons and their repressed sexual urges?

[schatsie]

What I want to know is if that SlimeBall Jeff Gannon will be in the next white house visiting Karl...

[batguano]

Tell it like it is Barry! The McCain/Palin/Rove slime machine is working overtime (along with bald-faced liars like Rudy) to bring us 4 more years of disaster for our nation that was the last 8 years....and maybe worse. McCain has lost all right to any claim of honor and his ( or Roves) pick of the utterly unqualified "religious" extremist moose/wolf killer shows that in spades.....his astonishingly bad judgment for our republic and people......our future.

4155 American soldiers have been killed and...what 35,000 maimed.....the suicide rates are astronomical and the Bush regime gives them nothing....and John McCain supports Bush all the way.....maverick my ass! Honor? .........the way we regain honor is to call the war what it is, a war for profit and power, begun by lies and deceit.

McCain - Palin.....­.....Empty suit - empty skirt.........NOT change, more of the same!

[Rjchinook]

I love your grit! Thank you Barry & batguano for writing what I hope & pray most of us are thinking and what the Polls aren't polling!

[PADDYWHACK]

To support his raison d'running as a war hero and man of honor he should open his service records.

Go to this web address and tell John McCain to fire Steve Schmidt. he is the one responsible for destroying a true patriot, John McCain.

http://www.johnmccain.com/Contact/

Schmidt is one of Rove's henchmen and will do anything to get someone into office. He has a satanic ability to rile up the perpetually pissed off right.

[JillQ]

Don't lame Steve Schmidt. He's doing the job he was hired to do. Blame John McCain. He is the despicable one and a disgrace to any and all who have served, are serving and will serve.

[mommadona]

Hell, no.

I want to see them go down flaming. Together.

[Rollah]

Then to Rove and his henchmen, their mission is accomplished. They all bet on how long it will take to destroy the country via their lies and how gullible (lazy/racist/insert Rovian term here) Americans have become...
