Grandpa Gets His Ass Handed to Him by David Letterman

...and reminds Grumpy that calling the into question the character of a person because of people they've met in their lives can be a two edged sword!

An Open Letter to John McCain from Frank Schaeffer

"I have posted this letter, which first ran in the Baltimore Sun as an op-ed on Oct 10, 2008, in its entirety. Frank Schaeffer is the author of Crazy for God: How I Grew Up as One of the Elect, Helped Found the Religious Right, and Lived to Take All (or Almost All) of It Back.

"Senator John McCain: If your campaign does not stop equating Sen. Barack Obama with terrorism, questioning his patriotism and portraying Mr. Obama as "not one of us," I accuse you of deliberately feeding the most unhinged elements of our society the red meat of hate, and therefore of potentially instigating violence.

At a Sarah Palin rally, someone called out, "Kill him!" At one of your rallies, someone called out, "Terrorist!" Neither was answered or denounced by you or your running mate, as the crowd laughed and cheered. At your campaign event Wednesday in Bethlehem, Pa., the crowd was seething with hatred for the Democratic nominee - an attitude encouraged in speeches there by you, your running mate, your wife and the local Republican chairman.


John McCain: In 2000, as a lifelong Republican, I worked to get you elected instead of George W. Bush. In return, you wrote an endorsement of one of my books about military service. You seemed to be a man who put principle ahead of mere political gain.
You have changed. You have a choice: Go down in history as a decent senator and an honorable military man with many successes, or go down in history as the latest abettor of right-wing extremist hate.


John McCain, you are no fool, and you understand the depths of hatred that surround the issue of race in this country. You also know that, post-9/11, to call someone a friend of a terrorist is a very serious matter. You also know we are a bitterly divided country on many other issues. You know that, sadly, in America, violence is always just a moment away. You know that there are plenty of crazy people out there.


John McCain, you're walking a perilous line. If you do not stand up for all that is good in America and declare that Senator Obama is a patriot, fit for office, and denounce your hate-filled supporters when they scream out "Terrorist" or "Kill him," history will hold you responsible for all that follows.


John McCain and Sarah Palin, you are playing with fire, and you know it. You are unleashing the monster of American hatred and prejudice, to the peril of all of us. You are doing this in wartime. You are doing this as our economy collapses. You are doing this in a country with a history of assassinations.


Change the atmosphere of your campaign. Talk about the issues at hand. Make your case. But stop stirring up the lunatic fringe of haters, or risk suffering the judgment of history and the loathing of the American people - forever.


We will hold you responsible."

The Real Threat to America's Future:

This was at a McCain 'Town Hall' meeting in Bethlehem, PA. Homegrown ignorance and bigotry...with just a dash of stupidity for good measure! This trash is little better than the people my grandfather fought against in WWII!

WARNING! The Breathtaking Ignorance and Stupidity You Are About to See are Disturbing!

This video was taken at a rally in Strongsville, Ohio during a McCain/Palin rally! With people as stupid as this, is it any wonder Ohio is an economic basket case even in good times? Actually, is it any wonder that with people like this voting, the United States is effectively in the shape it's in? If people like this decide the next election, is there any doubt that America is doomed? Finally, is it any wonder that the McCain campaign, while keeping Sarah Palin away from the media, is also desperately trying to keep the press away from their supporters like these?

Senator Mc(But-You-Have-To-Elect-Me-'Cause-I-Was-A-POW)Cain gets schooled by a young vet!

Beautiful! I'm glad to see there are some young people coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan not buying McCain's or the GOP's lip service about how much they 'value their service!'

John McCain and the Keating Five

...old Grandpa McSame wanted to go negative on Obama instead of talking about the issues, so the Obama camp is happy to respond by bringing the skeletons out of McCain's closet which not only question his integrity, but also his ongoing role in deregulation and the collapse of Wall St.

Senator McCranky...

During a recent interview with the Des Moines Editorial Board, the good senator showed why he may not have the best temperment to be our Commander-in-Chief. Soon this country will be liberated from eight years of rule under a petulant silver-spoon fed frat boy, do we really want to hand the reigns to a petulant geezer who's forgotten how many homes he and the beer heiress own?

Dear Sen. Obama:

Do not take Sam Nunn as your running mate. He is a bigot.

Via Balloon-Juice:
Senator Sam Nunn removed two aides a decade ago for being gay, and gay rights groups are now contending that his action disqualifies him from a post in a Clinton Administration.

Mr. Nunn, the Georgia Democrat who is chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has confirmed that he asked the two aides to leave because of their homosexuality.


He testified in favor of DADT "Don't Ask Don't Tell"
He supported DOMA "Defense of Marriage Act"
He fired aides for being gay.

FUCK HIM!

Thank You!
