    It started with Gingrich and Tom Delay. The right wing racism got worse when Obama became president.

    And there is of course Karl Rove, famous attack dog for GWB. John McCain had to endure his attacks during the primary, alleging that McCain had an African American illegitimate child.

    Of course, we all know who this dog whistle was for: The bigots and racist segment of the Republican party. And it worked.

    I gotta ask again. Can you give examples of the right being civil, or was that just another right wing lie?

    If I had a dollar for every time some stupid right winger grasped a piece of a paragraph and ran with it, I could buy a bigger house.

    Of course this begs the question, where was this level of support during his Presidential bid? This isn't the first time that this has been asserted by someone from the left. And yet, all we really need to do is return to the apoplectic hate launched at him in 2008 to remind us all just how phony and disingenuous these sentiments really are....

    It wasn't there. Both the LWLs and RWNJs have been crapping on McCain and calling him names since 2000.

    I actually remember him getting flak from the left because he didn’t repudiate that woman forcefully enough.

    See, there’s no winning with left wing extremists who aren’t even advocating for the good of the nation, and are, in fact, attempting to deconstruct it. They can pretend to respect a fake conservative Republican like McCain after he dies, but while he was alive and running as a threat to Democratic control, he was “an old white guy Republican, Bush 2.0”. You’re not fooling anyone.

    I guess that explains the name { Bathhouse Barry }.
    Plus Barack Obama even denies the name Barry Soetoro.
    McCain was so " mushy " he made sure that Bill Cunningham
    was roundly denounced when he was given the chance to warm-up
    a McCain crowd in Cincinnatti with some political " red meat ".
    Bill Cunningham { Popular Talk Radio host at The Big One
    700 WLW }.Cunningham blasted McCain's opponent
    Barack " HUSSEIN " Obama.Using the middle name ": Hussein "
    repeatedly.Letting the crowd in on the Real Obama.The one who
    was a Community activist in Chicago.Palled around with a
    Weather Underground leader { Bill Ayers } and got this super
    sweatheart Property deal with shady felon Tony Rezko.
    McCain showed up late to that event and Cunningham was already
    gone,heading back to his WLW studios to do his mid day Talk Radio\
    show.McCain was supposed to meet Cunningham on stage at around
    11 am.Bill Cunningham was greeted off stage after his warm up the
    crown for McCain appearance by Rob Portman who shook his
    hand and thought it was just great.
    However things were not just great.The Media got wind of what
    Cunningham said about their Boy { Obama } and McCain got
    all " mushy ". McCain had his " Sista Soldier " moment after
    Cunninghams spiel.McCain was scared silly to go after any
    thing known about the Real Barack Obama.
    McCain did not act like someone who spent over 5 years
    as a POW in the Hanoi Hilton.
    he acted like a giddy grade school kid getting his first gold
    star for tattling on a fellow grade school student.
    He's been acting like that most his Senate career.

    Which should be the lesson.Many republicans like McConnell and
    Paul Ryan and surely John Boehner never let that simple lesson
    sink-in.That there is No way on God's Green earth to cooperate
    or work with the Democrats or this MSM.
    They are fully committed to their way or the Highway.
    Donald Trump ran on and had changed all that.
    For the betterment of the Country as a whole.
    There is no debating that.

    Agreed. Same that there's not winning with right wing extremists "who aren't even advocating for the good of the nation, attempting to deconstruct it." They'll spread hate, divide the country and spew lies AKA "alternative facts" to push their authoritarian agenda. Both forms of extremists are bad for the nation.

    “Right wing extremists” want America to be like it was for 80% of its existence so far. What’s so extreme about that? I think it’s more extreme to support the deconstruction period of America, which was the mid 1960s onward, when a foreign force hijacked America.

    God would give him cancer because he was gracious about losing and refused to take part in the pettiness promoted by members of his party? What God would that be? Maybe people should try Christianity. The Christian God would never tolerate such hateful and divisive political rhetoric against a man who showed some maturity.

    No, they don't. They want it to be like Germany circa 1939.

    So when God gives women breast cancer resulting in double radical mastectomies is it because they have no compassion?

    Which, at that time, was a reactionary rejection of the kind of society that had taken over Berlin.

    Which explains the Tea Party { Not one shred of violence or calling
    others Nazis or Fascists } VS. Antifa or BlackLivesMatter or
    Occupy Wall Street who act no different than Hitler's Storm
    Troopers.

    McCain was referred to as a Nazi racist during his campaign for the Presidency.

    How quickly they forget.

    "McCain...[is] running a campaign on partisan division, class warfare and even hints of racism.” —NYTimes, "Obama for President,” 10/23/08

    NOW “McCain...gave hope for the future. His example still does.” —NYT, "McCain, A Scarred but Happy Warrior,” 8/25/18

    I already commented on this point in another thread. McCain made the mistake to try to pander to the extreme right during the primaries and partly throughout the main campaign, including selecting Palin, a grave mistake. I think he tried to be someone he was not, to attract the far right voters.

    Cons can't hide the ugliness of their ideology based on hate, fear, selfishness and ignorance.

    She got it correct although her choice of words and labels was poor.
    Obama is hardly :flagus: in spirit and displays having spent his formative years in a Muslim backwater.


    Obama was a Black Nationalist in deeds!
    Consider his appointments of lesser qualified and often inept Black persons.
    Holder.
    Lynch.
    ObamaCare computer geniuses.
    Too many Federal judges. Not just Supreme Court.


    Consider his foreign policy.
    I did not understand "anti colonialist" until I witnessed it via Obama.
    He treated Western Nations that might have had colonies at sometime in their history
    plus Israel as "second class nations".


    Moi :oldman:
    Voted Obama in '08 only
    What "Hope", "Change"?
    The illegal foreclosure epidemic.
    Obama lied to me.

    Hiring black people =/= black nationalist.
    Being anti-colonialist =/= black nationalist.

    Odds were stacked against him.

    Two terms of a Repunlican in office will put you at a disadvantage.
