    Default McCain's political hypocrisy

    During the 2000 Republican primaries, Karl Rove launched some viciously personal ads against John McCain. While the fight was dirty on both sides, many felt the Rove ads helped tip the scales in favor of G.W. Bush.
    McCain himself felt such. He later stated that "there is a special place in hell for people like Karl Rove."

    So who is directly McCain's current smear campaign against Obama? The same Karl Rove.
    I suppose the shit doesn't fall far from the GOP tree.

    Sorry, but you are missing a very important piece to this puzzle. Nothing liberals say can possibly be a smear against any human being. Only conservatives smear just as only whites can be racist.

    Get with the program Yurt!

    Why do you bother, Yurt? In case you hadn't noticed, Gabs has evolved into a hit and run poster. Odds are, she will not respond to you. Her recent pattern has been to post a topic, hoping conservatives will find it inflammatory, then she retreats, never to be seen in the thread again. Occasionally she will respond, but the response is usually a reference to the person being in denial, a racist, delusional, or stupid.

    It's sad, really. There was a time I enjoyed engaging in discussion with Gabs, I even liked her online persona, but this recent change in her style leaves me thinking her threads should be left to shrivel and die on the vine.


    Oh, and Immie, it's White conservatives that are racists, not Whites in general.

    Not according to the University of Delaware. But, also, I didn't say "ALL" whites just that no one else can be counted in that number.

    Is the truth a smear?
    If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin

    Hit and run poster? WTF? Unlike many posters on this board, I have a job and responsibilities. I can't sit here all day responding to your idiocies.

    Not that arguing with you makes any sense. What is the use of debating people who have already made up their mind about everything? I already know what kind of responses that I am going to get.

    If you think so lowly of everyone here, why do you come here??

    isn't the dailykos and hufferpost enough for your jollies.
    "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."

    She just comes here to show off her ignorance.

    Like you're the only one? I have a job, the same one for the last twenty five years. Five days a week for twenty five years. You've been working for how long? I have responsibilities. I've had responsibilities for twenty six years. Whoopdee do! Welcome to adulthood, Gabs. If you're going to attempt engage in some sort of discourse, at least hve the nerve to stand up for your beliefs and your opinions.

    Brilliant question. She finds everyone so contemptible, yet she keeps coming back. Go figure.

    BTW a smear requires something to be untrue and unsubstantiated. Where has McCain used either?
