- Tribs, on 07/24/2008, -1/+2On a barrel roll?
  - sealink, on 07/25/2008, -0/+2More like rickroll, amirite?
- ZenMojo, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1If people keep asking why they keep linking to Huffington Post, THIS is why.
GoneGreen, on 07/24/2008, -8/+3Can I get a plexi-glass navel for Mr McCain?
dagnabbit, on 07/24/2008, -5/+24Sunni Awakening/Surge

Afghanistan/Iraq

Gosh I get so confused out here on the stump. Get off my lawn!
jwaf, on 07/24/2008, -6/+15Oh, McGoo you've done it again!
reflux11, on 07/24/2008, -5/+3Afghanistan the New Forgotten War,well hell an damnation at least Korea was forgotten years after the fighting was over not when US troops were still dying in Combat like in the Afghanistan (what to call it now since McCain has said Iraq is the first conflict after 911? Camp-out maybe,I'll go with that) Camp-out.
cybergal619, on 07/24/2008, -5/+4And I thought his photo op with Miss Lindsey in front of a sausage and fudge haus was the highlight of my day.
ObamAmerican48, on 07/24/2008, -6/+17What in the hell is going on with this man and his campaign? I'm almost to the point where I feel sorry for McCain because he's clearly surrounded by the same type of yes-men assholes who have surrounded Bush for the past 7.5 years, but in this instance the yes-men are COMPLETE IDIOTS, as compared to the evil genius of Karl Rove and Dick Cheney.

Speaking of Satan's evil spawn (Cheney and Rove--Bush is just plain stupid), people like us (liberals, intelligent, compassionate, creative, kind) will never again make the mistake of trying to play nice with our opponents. We are now and always will be playing for blood. The Bush years taught us that.

Suck it, repugnantcan neocons. Go cry in your Wheaties.
- lowjeep, on 07/25/2008, -4/+1Are you speaking English? Or is this Obamics?
  I wonder if i can speak Obamics as well?
  Suck this, Disgustingcrat NeoComm.
  I'd cry in my wheaties but the liberals would just want to tax me for it.
PolishLogic, on 07/24/2008, -11/+6Is this anything like ethnic cleansing being a "positive thing"?

Just out of curiosity, what was the Huffington Post's take on Obama leaving as many as 50,000 troops in Iraq after his withdrawal plan is done? I can't seem to find a mention of it anywhere.

So much for an immediate and complete withdrawal.
- mummbleswers, on 07/25/2008, -4/+8what does this have to do with McCain getting facts wrong? Again.
  - PolishLogic, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1Nothing at all, actually. I was just asking a question.
    
    No comment on this? Considering this was a man that championed implementing an immediate and complete withdrawal upon assuming office, it doesn't seem that was entirely true. Actually that now seems to have been completely false. Seems his new 16 month plan is now ***** too.
    
    Can't wait to see what he's got in store for us next.
vault, on 07/24/2008, -20/+12huffpo = buried as spam
reflux11, on 07/24/2008, -9/+4I know why Bush wants McCain to win he needs him to make the Bush terms look smart an good and to show people there's someone even more stupid an out of it than he is.
- vault, on 07/24/2008, -2/+4You know if you're going to call someone stupid, you should probably learn how to spell the word, "and."
- reflux11, on 07/25/2008, -0/+0"An" like in Bacon an Eggs,Smart an Good,stupid an out of it.Also When Grammer Cops like you try to demean something someone says or writes it means you have already lost whatever argument you are trying to make/win.
UtahApocalyse, on 07/24/2008, -3/+23Sorry but 1 mistake is a Gaffe, this is a pure sign of mental incapacity or ignorance... ether weay its not at needed in a President
- mummbleswers, on 07/25/2008, -0/+9It's even worse that this is THE ONLY THING HE'S RUNNING ON! Maybe if he kept getting the facts wrong on the economy or health care, but dude! This is your ***** McCain!
qxrt, on 07/24/2008, -16/+5Oh please...what's one missed McCain gaffe compared to the great Obamavoid?
- jabberwolf, on 07/25/2008, -10/+1You mean Obama's pathological lying?!
  
  I agree.
  - qxrt, on 07/25/2008, -0/+0What I'm referring to is the fact that Obama's speeches are all filled with generic platitudes and messages that you can't possibly go against. Change! Change! ...I don't need a politician to try to inspire me with meaningless words. All he is to me is a feel-good candidate with no substance.
- mummbleswers, on 07/25/2008, -0/+5One? Where the hell have you been the past two weeks, this is the third gaffe from this interview alone! Are you kidding me?
ThePerkins, on 07/24/2008, -11/+3BREAKING: John McCain farted at a family function!
jabberwolf, on 07/25/2008, -13/+4WAIT ITS HUFFINGTON -
Yes more accurate stories - oh wow!
for christ's sake knock it off, this is trash and inaccurate anyway.

Why not report on REAL stories and not just gaffs but thought out pathatlogical lies like:
Obama claiming to be on the Banking Committee and
being a part of a creation of a bill on it.

Both flat out lies!
- mummbleswers, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1Like when the awakening happened, and the sheik that was supposedly protected by the surge being assassinated, and then when the actual surge happened, and helping to pass the GI bill, and what he would do after Katrina as president, and what football team starting line-up he gave, and that he has a great record with veteran associations, and run a clean campaign, and would never give a speech on foreign soil, whether or not the media hates him and why the gas prices have been dropping... I could go on all day, Obama's mistakes aren't defendable, but McCain is plain out of control.
PuppiesSuckALot, on 07/25/2008, -6/+2god the young turks are so frustrating
waggdogg, on 07/25/2008, -9/+3How about when Barack Obama lied and said he was on the finance committee. What a JOKE.
More ***** from the Arianna Huffington far left internet Post.
mazaj423, on 07/25/2008, -1/+7hey digg please stop picking on McCain. Just because he's old and gets easily confused and has no idea what he's talking about half the time while he is running for the most powerful job in the world is no reason to make fun of him
- ZenMojo, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1But he makes great barbecue. We should have a beer with him.
Verchiel77, on 07/25/2008, -0/+5The man is an absolute buffoon.

Mr. Serious Foreign Policy Candidate either has an incredibly poor grasp of the facts, lacks the mental acuity to keep them straight, or sees no problem in lying about them at will in order to make petulant attacks.

Whatever the case: not at all presidential.

Embarrassing.
Fun4Two, on 07/25/2008, -3/+2Cenk Uygur?? I guess he's a long time John McCain supporter, trying to provide constructive criticism to his favorite candidate. HA!
- SoyJames, on 07/25/2008, -0/+3Actually, Cenk voted for McCain in 2000. Something a lot more of your SHOULD have done. Instead you let that buffoon Bush distract you with black babies. There ain't no make up calls in politics folks, it's been eight years and McCain has clearly lost his mental capabilities...
jonmlm, on 07/25/2008, -0/+5is there a site(besides digg) that's keeping track of all these gaffes?
Vandango, on 07/25/2008, -0/+7The presidential debates are going to be a circus. He's going to get skewered.
- MJG2007, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1Yeah, unless it's hosted by Faux News, in which case we'll get something like this:
  
  Host: Sen. Obama, please explain the relationship of string theory to the number of angels that dance on a pin. And off the top of your head, what is the 12,238 digit in pi?
  
  Host: Sen. McCain, some people say that Senator Obama's terrorist loving socialist American hating ideals make him unsuited to be president. Given that, which color in the American flag makes you feel the most patriotic?
- arvvvs, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1Theres a reason fox isn't so popular with debates.
  although I wouldn't mind a total liberal show hosting Rep. party primary debates, and fox with dems.
crackberri, on 07/25/2008, -2/+0Looking for a good time? Call 1 800 Ari-Anna.
davilliu417, on 07/25/2008, -0/+0it is not the true !!

ramiro, on 07/25/2008, -4/+2BURIED: Leftist brainwashing propaganda.
- augustcandi, on 07/25/2008, -1/+2Why do you have to announce it...do it and keep it movin. I bury ***** all the time but it aint that serious to let the worldknow..thats real thirsty of you
  - ramiro, on 07/25/2008, -1/+1I announce its burial just to see Obamaniacs trying to pull their pants over the head.
m0llusk, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1Blame the opium.
Pierremj2, on 07/25/2008, -0/+0Mr. McCaine (a.k.a. McBush) is suffering from early onset "Dimentia," manifested by short term memory deficit (Gaffes), confusion. Last week McBush made a Czechoslovia geography gaffe--a country that has not existed since 1993. People with dementia are not oriented to time, place, person, and situation. His dementia is further exacerbated by heavy drinking. Further, he has an Explosive Personality Disorder, manifested by belligerance, beating wives and children.
