- Baconbuyer, on 10/05/2008, -6/+169Bad judgment by McCain. What else is new?
- rald84, on 10/05/2008, -7/+144not only that but look at what Obama's running mate said 2 or 3 months EARLIER
Told of these criticisms, Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (Del.), ranking Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, branded them "preposterous," and noted that Osama bin Laden, suspected of bankrolling the installations that were bombed, "is one bad mother." - flr666, on 10/05/2008, -8/+128Good find... I bet THAT is going to turn up in an ad.
- cg4et, on 10/05/2008, -9/+71I heard he is best friends with the notorious felon G. Gordon Liddy (of Watergate fame). Plus he doesn't wear a flag pin. And he wasn't even born in the United States anyway.
John McCain obviously hates America. - LainyD, on 10/05/2008, -8/+67This guy is clueless. Self-serving and clueless! How can people not see how badly this guy flip-flops on SO MANY important issues?!?!
- MediaWeasel, on 10/05/2008, -5/+60Oh there's more to bin Laden than meets the eye I reckon. Same as Saddam Hussein.Useful until he wore out his usefulness.
Weren't the military about to capture bin Laden in Afghanistan when suddenly the focus changed to Iraq, and bin Laden "slipped away" instead .. - texasred54, on 10/05/2008, -7/+57In 1998 McCain does not think Osama bin Laden is a bad guy? How many times will McCain be caught with his britches down?
We all need to send this info to the media. Before the debate on Tuesday. And, email this to friends. - flr666, on 10/05/2008, -4/+48Actually! I hope it comes up in the debate!
- lapdogs, on 10/05/2008, -4/+41This is the type of news that gets found when you've been around for 25+ years in DC.
Having you running mate try to smear the opponent, only brings to mind the old saying - "What Goes Around, Comes Around". And then it whacks you back, in the back of the head, when you least expect!! - kuusta, on 10/05/2008, -7/+40Got it wrong in 1998.
Getting it wrong today
Yup. Gotta love McCain's judgement. - erasedgod, on 10/05/2008, -4/+36Shut yo mouth!
- stonecircle, on 06/11/2009, -3/+34You could say, Look, is this guy, Laden, really the bad guy that's depicted? ~ John McCain.
- Mattwdj, on 10/05/2008, -4/+33He was being a maverick.
- BishkekBuddy, on 10/05/2008, -4/+32It will - if McCain ever tries to take the conversation back to his "strength" - national security!
- ZenMojo, on 10/05/2008, -4/+32Maybe the rhythm method ain't all it's cracked up to be, doggone it...!
- TunaFishGangsta, on 10/05/2008, -4/+31And then after bin Laden masterminded the 9/11 attack John McCain decided that we must invade Iraq. Double-you tee eff question-mark exclamation-mark one one one.
- iliketowin, on 10/05/2008, -5/+31I love The Onion. Oh wait.
- gsadamb, on 10/05/2008, -5/+30You're implying she was thinking.
- lapdogs, on 10/05/2008, -3/+27Rummy had to keep the war going. With OBL killed or captured, Congress wouldn't have voted for the Iraq War - - thus, let Osama been Forgotten get away to prolong the "Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid" threat.
- DD2CC2U, on 10/05/2008, -4/+27
This guilt by association path is going to be trouble ultimately for the McCain campaign. You know, you can go back, I have written a book about McCain, I had a dozen researchers go through him, I didn't even put this in the book. But John McCain sat on the board of a very right-wing organization, it was the U.S. Council for World Freedom, it was chaired by a guy named John Singlaub, who wound up involved in the Iran contra scandal. It was an ultra conservative, right-wing group. The Anti-Defamation League, in 1981 when McCain was on the board, said this about this organization. It was affiliated with the World Anti-Communist League - the parent organization - which ADL said "has increasingly become a gathering place, a forum, a point of contact for extremists, racists and anti-Semites."

Saddam Hussein
Manuel Noriega
Carly Fiorina
Boy - there are so many, my brain has just clogged! - flr666, on 10/05/2008, -3/+25Or "judgement" lol!
- friscos, on 10/05/2008, -1/+23The more I learn about Joe Biden, the more I love the fact that he's going to be the next VP of the United States!
- Eagle193, on 10/05/2008, -9/+31Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I did not see McCain explicitly state that Osama bin Laden was not such a bad guy. It looks like he was saying that there are bigger fish to fry.
- zoeific, on 10/05/2008, -2/+23heh. Those who base their vote on a flag pin deserve to be ruled by a pinhead.
- kraetos, on 10/05/2008, -1/+22Lets try and remove flip-flopping from our insult repertoire. Someone who continually updates their opinions based on new information isn't someone who should be maligned. I am continually amazed that so many people consider blindly and unconditionally "staying the course" to be a virtue.
- ShaneinNY, on 10/05/2008, -7/+26Poor John McCain. He mixes up the most lethal terrorist of our time (bin Laden) with a two-bit terrorist from 40 years ago (Bill Ayers) and then makes his pit bull, unqualified VP nominee attack Obama for what Ayers did when Obama was 8 years old!!! His judgment and behavior are becoming more and more erratic as his campaign continues to tank and the Republican party heads towards an epic wipeout in November 2008.
- gsadamb, on 10/05/2008, -3/+22Cry some more. Your tears are all you have at this point.
- Eugenitor, on 10/05/2008, -6/+25Love the trolls coming out of the woodwork for this one.
KEEP EARNING THOSE MCCAIN POINTS, DOUCHEBAGS! - twiztidsinz, on 10/05/2008, -0/+18Or "anything" lol!
Except crashing planes..... he's an expert at that. - JRandomDigger, on 10/05/2008, -6/+24The Republicans were too busy going after Clinton (remember Monica Missiles?) to let Clinton go after Bin Laden.
- dericko, on 10/05/2008, -1/+18Or rather she was concerned with her house remodel and the $55,000 of city money she spent doing it?
- Quasic, on 10/05/2008, -4/+20You have to wonder what Palin was thinking in 1998.
- boombye, on 10/05/2008, -0/+15I can digg it.
- buckpower, on 10/05/2008, -5/+20You are a liar, Jim.
- inactive, on 10/05/2008, -2/+16oh no! not a flag pin!
- norbiu, on 10/05/2008, -0/+14He had been the #1 most wanted on the fbi site way before 9/11.
EDIT: Or at least 2 years before: http://web.archive.org/web/20000229083622/www.fbi. ... - SSPink, on 10/05/2008, -0/+13Joe Biden has always been miles ahead of John McCain on foreign policy issues.
People need to realize that being a P.O.W. is not foreign policy experience and has nothing to do with judgment or education on foreign policy issues. - Acewrap, on 10/05/2008, -0/+13He's just talking about Joe.
- Volatile36, on 10/05/2008, -0/+13He's not a democrat, so his mind-numbing flip-flopping doesn't matter...
- kloche, on 10/05/2008, -2/+15I am not that sure that it will turn up in an ad. Dems are still trying to play a refined game.
While Republicans and their right wing voice boxes aren't afraid of wallowing around in the mud. I want to see the Dems take the gloves off but still keep their eye on the issues. - buckpower, on 10/05/2008, -5/+17Can you say BACKFIRE?!?
- RedHawk911, on 10/05/2008, -5/+17I don't think she knew who he was. Or maybe she saw him in all of those newspapers she reads.
- Sornos, on 10/05/2008, -0/+11I agree wholly. Politicians should not be a set series of values but representative of the people they represent. If the people change so should they.
- buckpower, on 10/05/2008, -1/+12Hey Jim--you do realize that Bin Laden had already attacked us in 1998, right?
It's OK if you didn't. Neither Bush or McCain seemed to realize it, either. - bluesman3535, on 10/05/2008, -3/+13"The enemy of my enemy is my friend" later becomes 'I'm not so sure about my new friend' then becomes 'Damn it I funded my own enemy'
- twiztidsinz, on 10/05/2008, -1/+11He was for Osama BinLaden before he was against him!
- inactive, on 10/05/2008, -9/+18Zeitgeist debunked:
http://www.conspiracyscience.com/articles/zeitgeis ...
Go spread your propaganda elsewhere. - nihilville, on 10/05/2008, -2/+11McCain didn't think a terrorist was a bad guy WHILE he was a terrorist, planning an attack on American soil.
That's a HUUUUUGE "lapse" in judgment there, buddy.
Obama was the neighbor of a former, REFORMED terrorist, CURRENT college professor, who ended up throwing a fundraiser for him back when Obama was a newcomer trying to start his career in Chicago politics.
I'm sorry, but you're just making McCain look worse with these pathetic attempts to distract from McCain's own failings. -
