I think McCain's attack on John Lewis insured

[thevoiceofreason]

The AA vote will go more than 95 - 5 against him.

He is an amoral slug.

[anonymous171]

1. He was trying to get Obama to talk race.

Of course, Obama didn't fall for it. He countered and made McCain look petty.

[Arkana]

14. And he flat out LIED when he said that he condemned all the racial crap

from his campaign. He has NOT done that and for him to say that absolutely infuriated me.

[Justice]

2. why does McCain lie about the situation - he plays the victim -

I wanted Obama to say - hey, didn't you say Lewis was one of 3 people you admired the most?

[gabby garcia]

John IS a victim...

“I’m hurting and angry. My feelings are hurt and I’m angry. It’s not fair that people don’t like me.” John Martyr McCain

“People don’t care about our feelings, John. They care about the issues.” Barack the next president Obama

[NoSheep]

8. Because he's a fucking republican. Or Visa Versa. Chicken and egg thing I guess,

[yourout]

3. 99.9 - .1 would be nice to see.

[liberalmuse]

4. But he told that Rev Rick guy...

that John Lewis was one of the top 3 people he admired!

[thevoiceofreason]

6. His bullshit keeps bumping up against his past.

[chelsea0011]

5. That was nasty considering Lewis took back some of what he said.

And McCain flat out lied that the Obama camp never responded to Lewis' remarks.

[thevoiceofreason]

10. I like the way Barack presidentially corrected him on that!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

7. I think the Republicans are saying who cares

[ecstatic]

9. He knew that Lewis already reissued a statement. It was a pathetic attempt

to race bait. And he FAILED as usual.

[FloridaGrl]

11. He ain't going to get 5%

[tigereye]

12. why is he attacking and alienating everyone who could possibly vote for him?

it's so bizarre. Women, immigrants, Musilims, educated voters, independents who despise the "culture wars." All he has left is the fundy vote and the paranoid folks terrified of diversity vote - these will only take you so far.

[mucifer]

and mcstupid is soooo proud of his little lynch mobs.

[PerpetuallyDazed]

13. And Obama handled that remark brilliantly.

Something along the lines of: "I don't think the American care as much if our feelings are hurt." BOO-YAH!!!

[thevoiceofreason]

15. It was subtle.

Like a litigation trainer told me years ago - use an icepick, not a sword.

[Ikonoklast]

16. I'm glad he brought that up

It backfired in his face.

If I was Obama, I would have asked McSame if he thought I was the King Of All Blacks and was personally responsible for everything every black person ever said.

McSame looked foolish on that one.

[Fleshdancer]

17. McCain owes Rep Lewis an apology and a little gratitude...

Imagine for one moment how bad it would have been if Lewis didn't step in to stop the hate rhetoric when he did.

[thevoiceofreason]

18. Rep. Lewis is a great and gracious man.
