McCain's Latest Endorsement

[SoonerInKCMO]

Comes from none other than Al Qaeda (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/26/opinion/26kristof.html?em).

[JohnnyMack]

Heh.

[LosAngelesSooner]

:rolleyes:

Come on, guys. This is just as lame as the last election when the Bushies tried to say that Osame Bin Ladin was rooting for John Kerry to win.

Al Qaeda hates ALL OF US. Republican and Democrat and Independent. They don't want McCain any more than they want Obama. They just want all of us to die.

You all (and me included) bitched like crazy last election when some doofuses started similar threads regarding Kerry, but now you think it's okay to do it?

This is VERY Karl Rove of y'all to start this thread.

That is why its funny.

[LosAngelesSooner]

And hypocritical.

[Frozen Sooner]

Like I said last week when someone pointed out that only two organizations have ever bombed the Pentagon:

Now both candidates can claim endorsements from one of them.

;)

And hypocritical.

You did it first! Nanny nanny boo boo! Stick your head in doo doo!

:D

[LosAngelesSooner]

Except I didn't. I condemned it when the neo-cons did it last election. I'm condemning it when you guys are trying it.

Endorsements-schmorshments. They're terrorists who hate all of us and I hope they all die.

[Vaevictis]

... and this is exactly the reason why when folks were saying "Well, Al-Qaeda supports this candidate, you shouldn't vote for him," I responded with:

Why the hell are you worrying about which candidate your enemy prefers? Worry about which candidate you prefer.

[Howzit]

Just another reason I voted early for Bob Barr. I couldn't figure out which way Al Qaeda was trying to steer me.

[Fraggle145]

I dont think anyone is taking this as far as the neo-cons took it...

This story came out on the 23rd and it just now ended up here.

And at least I am not taking it that seriously. Its not surprising that they would endorse McCain.

[LosAngelesSooner]

Still, stooping to that level, regardless of when or with how much passion, is STILL stooping to that level. And it doesn't make it any less wrong that you're "Not taking it seriously," when you're still posting it.

Now, to discuss the pros and cons of Bush's diplomacy with regards to assisting Al Qaeda's recruiting and what effect a Black President with a Muslim Grandfather would have on that and whether or not McCain would continue those policies...that is a fair topic. (and an interesting one, I might add)

[PalmBeachSooner1]

William Ayers- no big deal. Reverend Wright- no big deal. Distribution of wealth- no big deal.

Palin's outfit- OUTRAGE.

[LosAngelesSooner]

Where did the n00b who says dumb stuff come from?

That makes two this week. One here and one laying seige on the Football boards, defending all things Venables. Weird.

So reporting it at all is wrong?

Did you read the op-ed piece that was linked to? Because what you mention above is pretty much what Kristof does - just using the Al Qaeda endorsement as a lead-in.

[LosAngelesSooner]

Don't be deliberately dense. There's a difference between "reporting something that really, really evil people who hate all of us said," and saying that McCain was endorsed by terrorists.

You hated it last election when the far right wing crazies did it to Kerry, it's just as despicable now.

[PalmBeachSooner1]

Just because we disagree doesn't make it "dumb" pal.

Regardless, you know this is going to be reported no matter which candidate it is...

[LosAngelesSooner]

Did you read the op-ed piece that was linked to? Because what you mention above is pretty much what Kristof does - just using the Al Qaeda endorsement as a lead-in.Yes, I did. Which is why I brought it up.

But, again, talking about the ISSUES is a far cry from saying, "McCain's Latest Endorsement is Al Qaeda" and then grinning and laughing about it.

Al Qaeda wants all of us to die. McCain and Obama equally.

Be an American first, not a partisan. And if you (rightfully) cry about the neo-cons saying Kerry was endorsed by terrorists then you can't turn around and be a hypocrite and do the exact same thing 4 years later when it benefits you.

I shouldn't have to spell this out to you guys.

[SoonerInKCMO]

Just because we disagree doesn't make it "dumb" pal.

But it being totally irrelevant to the discussion at hand does.

[LosAngelesSooner]

Just because we disagree doesn't make it "dumb" pal.No. It's dumb entirely on it's own merits of stupidity.

And I'm not your pal, n00b.


Regardless, you know this is going to be reported no matter which candidate it is...But it's bad reporting. Stupid and sensationalized. Unfair and partisan. It's the worst of politics, like calling Obama a socialist or saying he "pals around with terrorists." It's crap.

[SoonerInKCMO]

I don't recall doing this. But I drink a lot - so I'm not saying I didn't.

[Fraggle145]

Yes, I did. Which is why I brought it up.

I'm not disagreeing with you and I already said that I didnt care about this issue and that it wasnt surprising. But that I think that it is ironic and funny. What more do you want?

[Fraggle145]

But it's bad reporting. Stupid and sensationalized. Unfair and partisan. It's the worst of politics, like calling Obama a socialist or saying he "pals around with terrorists." It's crap.

And you are really surprised by this? Why?

[PalmBeachSooner1]

No. It's dumb entirely on it's own merits of stupidity.

And I'm not your pal, n00b.

You keep saying it's a stretch but he IS friends with a known and admitted terrorist.

[Vaevictis]

And you are really surprised by this? Why?

Nobody's surprised. Some of us are offended though.

It's bull****, pure and simple, and it would be nice if a certain set of Americans engaged their brains and stopped lapping it up.

[PalmBeachSooner1]

...pal

[PalmBeachSooner1]

Keep defending him libs.

[Fraggle145]

On both sides there are a lot of stupid people.

[LosAngelesSooner]

Not surprised, but I expect more from my fellow Americans.

[LosAngelesSooner]

You keep saying it's a stretch but he IS friends with a known and admitted terrorist.
Except that he's not.










n00b.

[LosAngelesSooner]

Lord. Another Troll.

[PalmBeachSooner1]

L.A. can we just agree to disagree?

[LosAngelesSooner]

We can agree that you're obviously someone's Troll handle.

[LosAngelesSooner]

And before you deny that you're a Troll, realize that it makes it VERY obvious when you go from DEEP red to DEEP green within one post.

Just wonderin' which one you really are, that's all. (You're probably the same one running Sooner Stew. You have the same M.O.)

[PalmBeachSooner1]

We can agree that you're obviously someone's Troll handle.

I don't even know what that means. Am I new here, yes. So what?

[PalmBeachSooner1]

And before you deny that you're a Troll, realize that it makes it VERY obvious when you go from DEEP red to DEEP green within one post.

I noticed that too. I have no idea how any of this works man. I certainly wouldn't know how to change it. What happens, do you get banned if it goes all red or something?

[LosAngelesSooner]

Lord...

[PalmBeachSooner1]

Why are you coming after me so much man?

This endorsement may just tip the race:

Al Queda trying reverse psychology after they learned their lesson in 2004.

That's funny.

That's funny.Oh, Jesus Lord. I was WAITING for someone to pull the "reverse psychology" card.

That's funny.


What lesson did they learn? They've only grown stronger, so I don't think 2004 hurt them a whole lot.

[Jerk]

They endorsed Kerry right before the election.

Kerry lost.

Put 2 and 2 together.

[LosAngelesSooner]

They endorsed Kerry right before the election.

Kerry lost.

Put 2 and 2 together.So now they're endorsing McCain for an Obama victory?

Dude...take the tin foil hat off and walk away...slowly...

[SoonerInKCMO]

I think they were using reverse psychology in '04; now is when they're telling us who they really want in office. ;)

[Vaevictis]

They endorsed Kerry right before the election.

Kerry lost.

Put 2 and 2 together.

What makes you think they weren't doing reverse psychology in the first place?

... or, maybe they just endorse whomever they think is going to lose so that they can claim that their endorsement threw the election.

I wouldn't try getting into their heads on this. Who knows what their motivations are for any given endorsement.

[JohnnyMack]

Osama bin Laden and John McCain reenacting that one scene from The Princess Bride.

Awesome.

[LosAngelesSooner]

Oh, no! It's the old Double Switcheroo/Double Reversal/No Whammie/Switcermabob!!!!

We'll NEVER know what those rascally terrorists truly want!
