VA GOP Chair Tells Troops To Compare Obama To Osama
If John McCain has decided to go out with a modicum of decency, the troops on the ground haven’t received the message. Virginia GOP Chairman Jeff Frederick gave instructions to 30 door-to-door canvassers, as Time’s Karen Tumulty reports:
He climbed atop a folding chair to give 30 campaign volunteers who were about to go canvassing door to door their talking points – for instance, the connection between Barack Obama and Osama bin Laden: “Both have friends that bombed the Pentagon,” he said. “That is scary.” It is also not exactly true – though that distorted reference to Obama’s controversial association with William Ayers, a former 60s radical, was enough to get the volunteers stoked. “And he won’t salute the flag,” one woman added, repeating another myth about Obama. She was quickly topped by a man who called out, “We don’t even know where Senator Obama was really born.” Actually, we do; it’s Hawaii.
Frederick says he stands by the analogy, and John McCain says he “needs more context” before he can condemn it:
Wait just a ding dang minute here. I just realized… Obama… Osama… Obama.. Osama.. Obama. Osama. Obama Osama. Holy Crap!
Has anyone seen the two of these guys in the room at the same time?

Oh, I’m feeling some state pride now!
When will we find evidence to prove Obama crucified Jesus?
I know it’s out there.

This is so unAmerican to ? Sen.Obama’s right to be the canidate for president. Is this nut brain saying that the American ppls are so stupid that they haven’t checked to see if Sen.Obama is a citizens of the US before now to be elgible to run for the highest office. Do Fredrick not know that even if he wasn’t born her but has establish his citizenship then they are egible to run for any office in the US.Well let’s make it clear Yes he’s not like all the other presidents, because God made him in is own image like all of us the way God wanted him. This is so paletic to use any and everything aganist Sen.Obama. Do you all realize that if he’s elected he will be all of the US’s president. Don’t call all americans stupid like this fool Fredrick. Who ever is elected we will have to deal with it and remember God is still in charge. Just remember “PUT YOUR TRUST IN GOD” because he’s the only one to get us through this mess!!!

“And he and his underwear-gnome friends steal my briefs at night!”
Oh, heaven help us and save us from the black man with the odd-sounding foreign name, because his mother didn’t see fit to name him Trig, Track, Willow, Frick or Frack.

Interveiwer: “Senator McCain, do we know for certain that Barack Hussein Obama is not, in fact, Osama bin Laden himself?
Senator McCain: “Well, my friends, Senator Osama says he’s not Osama bin Laden – so that’s what he says, my friends.”

I think this is obama’s strong point
hire a terrorist to catch a terrorist
osama 08

he shouldnt tie obama to osama…he should tie obama to carter. they both have the same economic plan. since obama always wants to compare mccain to bush. heh, at least bush did serve two terms.

I just read the headline and sighed. I’m not even going to bother with the article.
Sorry, Big A.

Alanisaconservative is a master strategist:
Yes, brilliant strategy. Jimmy Carter is absolutely top of mind to the average voter. Attention Republican strategists! Pay attention to Alanisaconservative’s idea, he is really on to something!
Ladies and gentlemen, we have seen the birthing of the new ‘architect’ and it is Alanisaconservative.

Mccain will loose if he doesn’t stop repeating the Sean Hannity’s talking points.
October 13th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
Obama = socialist. Obama worked with Bill Ayers = terrorist. Ayers has not been on foxnews, has he? put Bill Ayers and his wife on H&C. you wont.
Alan quit being a hypocrite!! If you think Ayers is so wonderful and upstanding then get the lousy terrorist scum on your show, you wont because you are paid billions with a B to cover up the scandal you know will harm the terrorist Obama’s chances for election. If you harbor terrorists then you are one.
Osama and Obama are both tied to bombing the USA like Pentagon and WhiteHouse, since Obama will not renounce Bill Ayers and he is being hidden from the voting American public
What govt office are you being offered for your yellow journalism work, Alan? or is it just billions with a B? Or are you buddies with Bill Ayers also and want to promote your pal and hope others follow his goals?

um cara do you wanna go out on a date?
October 13th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
he actually did go on “the factor” to steer viewer numbers away from mccain’s acceptance speech
October 13th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Alanisaconservative propositions me:
um cara do you wanna go out on a date?
I go out on dates all the time, but I’m pretty sure you are a dude, and so am I, and that isn’t my thing. Plus I live in Brazil.
You’ll have to look elsewhere, AIC.

I dont watch the Factor every day, its too full of fluff and promo feeds. if its tivo’d I watch 10-15 minutes of the hour
why isnt there a Factor show for serious viewers?
only sometimes watch H&C because a guest comes on gets 1 sentence, someone says no youre stupid they all talk at the same time, then the segment end.
H&C pay per view with more anger and more shouting and 3 hours of show with no commercials? Id pay for that.

It goes to show how dumb some people are when trying to compare Barack Obama to Usama Bin Laden. If people are going to talk about Obama and Usama please spell their names correctly

isnt this liberal land we can swing both ways um cara. its the IN thing to do in America
October 13th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
Alanisaconservative swings both ways:
isnt this liberal land we can swing both ways um cara. its the IN thing to do in America
Sure, if you are one of those people who can ‘chose’ their sexuality, go for it! I was born heterosexual, not bisexual, personally, and have never been attracted to other men.
As far as it being the ‘in’ thing to do in America, there are still quite a few places where a gay or bisexual person such as yourself would be made to feel very uncomfortable, should they be open about it. I’m not sure why so many people care who other people are attracted to, but many do, unfortunately. If you haven’t experienced that bigotry, you likely live in a major metropolitan area.
But don’t forget about your brothers and sisters who aren’t so lucky as you to be around those so accepting of gays and bisexuals.

I have concluded that McCain and the Republicans are just crass, crude, rude, repulsive, and offensive! That’s all I have to say on the matter!
October 13th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
Frederick forgot to include another important fact for his door knockers to inform voters – Obama is BLACK!

The Pentagon was bombed by Bin Laden? Who knew, I thought they said it was hit by a plane. (Or was it a rocket?)
October 14th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
I don’t know about the Pentagon, but there’s a federal building in Oklahoma City that was bombed by right-wing militia terrorists.
