John McCain’s Brother Joe Says Parts Of VA Are Communist
October 5th, 2008, 11:09 PM EDT
He may have been joking, but then I’m not so sure.
“I’ve lived here for at least 10 years and before that about every third duty I was in either Arlington or Alexandria, up in communist country,” Joe McCain said at an event in Loudon County, Va.
Joe McCain then apologized, but the remark drew laughter at the event, according to the report.
Funny, John McCain has a condo in Arlington, right in the middle of Communist Country.
“This was Joe McCain’s unsuccessful attempt at humor,” said McCain campaign spokeswoman Gail Gitcho. “John McCain and Sarah Palin are committed to winning the support of voters in Northern Virginia and understand the region’s importance to victory statewide.”
Even if the region has commies living in it.
Alan are you denying that much of the DNC has strong communist tendencies?
Are you trying to insinuate that
1. you oppose America being communist
2. you deny communists live in the eastern USA
3. other
?

The right wing hates communist but love tradeing with them.I am confused.

How about the U.S. Council for World Freedom and it’s worldwide association. If you look at it’s present and past board members, you will find old Johnny there. Yep, he’s a member….also, check out some of the organizations that the council supports….

Good lord, I thought McCarthy was dead…although, I sometimes sense O’Reilly is channeling him at tense moments in his broadcasts.

Not a real smart joke to make in a state that is a toss-up for his brother. Maybe the joke will be on McCain and Virginia will go solid for Obama because of his “joke”? Gee thanks bro!

Why do some people have trouble with the shift key?

Thanks, Tome…
I can pretty much tell when people run out of rational argument….for you, it didn’t take long.

“YOU LIBERALS ARE TRYING TO KILL THE USA. WHY YOU GET THE HELL OUT AND TAKE ALAN WITH YOU.”
No, we’re just trying to make America stand up for principles like the radical right is always preaching about, but when push comes to shove you throw principle out the window and the ends justify the means every damn time.

Alan, you and Al Franken should stick to what you know best – comedy. You are both clueless when it comes to politics!!!

assuming this council exists, what are you saying they have done wrong? what has McCain done wrong?
what are some organizations to look out for?

loser Alan posted:
“We just don’t like Lindsey Lohan, Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Reverend Wright, Bill Ayers, and your principles. You’ll get it someday.”
I got mine, but you seems that you might be losing yours.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:06 am
Crap…sorry…that was a cheap shot. I apologize. My mom would be upset for me taking advantage of your weakness….sorry.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:07 am
Geez, I can’t even apologize properly…I’m afraid I have to call it a night. I actually wanted to apologize for flaming you, Loser Alan. I truly am sorry. It is the same thing that I don’t like about negative campaigning…it just isn’t productive.
I apologize.

Does borrowing billions of dollars from COMMUNIST China count as trade?
Our enormous trade deficit($21 Billion) with China is certainly trade.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:12 am
are you saying communism is bad?
and who wants trade with China? common sense says if they is a bunch of commies the democrats will be automatic friends with them. show us how you got China to be communist! we democrats want to apply the same techniques here in the US

Considering how important VA is this election, this was the wrong state to attempt a joke like that in.
With that being said, I’m not at all surprised. If you’re not a conservative, conservatives AUTOMATICALLY peg you as a stinkin’ commie.

“We just don’t like Lindsey Lohan, Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Reverend Wright, Bill Ayers, and your principles. You’ll get it someday.”
Here’s your problem. They’re all Americans. And you just can’t handle that.
October 6th, 2008 at 11:16 am
Yeah…great way to try to win VA McCain! But hey…you and Palin just keep up that dumb talk! Keep talking!!!!

Alsn I just want to ask Sean if would like to have some bring up his dirty pass. Obama pass should not be an issue because all of us have something in our past that we are not proud of and if GOD has forgiven Obama who are Sean to keep fishing in the contimated waters of Obama’s past when GOD said HE has forgiven him and put his sins into the sea of forgetfulness.This will not work because if it is GOD’s will that Obama be the next president nothing Sean dig up would stop it. So tick to issue like the ecomony and health care rather belittle peoples characters. Sean need to find GOD ask be careful on how he deals with GOD people. Again I would say if GOD put people SIN behind them who is Sean to go digging up again. Leave the DEAd buried.

Obama has approximately 264 of the needed 270 at this point. Time, events of the day, and momentum favor Obama campaign to win. Even John McCain has once suggested that negative comments and advertising don’t require honor or integrity…two characteristics of a president.
His brother’s misstatement is simply a symptom of a larger problem in the campaign. They are losin’ it..you bectcha
MCCAIN: “Uh, I, I just have to rely on the good judgment of the voters not to buy into these negative attack ads. Sooner or later, people are going to figure out if all you run is negative attack ads you don’t have much of a vision for the future or you’re not ready to articulate it.” [The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, 2/21/2000]

Another liberal flaw. No sense of humor. Unless, of course, they can all point at someone they are incapable of understanding, and like a bunch of baboons seeing a lighter for the first time, they’ll hoot, holler, throw feces at each other, and poke at it until a brave baboon kicks it into a hole. Then they’ll all huddle together, arms over shoulders, cold and shivering in the dark eating sap off a twig.

Sounds like you spent too much time in the “Monkey Bar” at Peral City.
October 6th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
Rats…that’s Pearl not Peral.

Alan no one can be as naive as you, without being on some real funny stuff, I can”t believe you are so far off center, it’s almost as if you are on someones or some groups payroll. How can you even think the way you do and not be getting paid to think that way.
Maybe someday you will realize how far you are off.

[...] last name? McCain. Yes, THAT McCain, the brother of John, who made an earlier Liberaland appearance when he referred to parts of Virginia as “communist”. Now, the would-be first brother [...]
