Is It True That McCain Had an Affair????? Oh My.....

[fascisthunter]

and yet the media ignores this story.....hmmmmmmmm?

[gratuitous]

1. Not so surprising that the media are ignoring the story

But the fact that my thread on this topic continues to plummet (see it here):

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3760294

And yet, there is thread after thread after thread of all this ginned-up "outrage" over a former candidate and now private citizen lying to us! Oh, the vapors! The dudgeon! The acrimony and self-loathing! It's a wonder to me how some people can even get out of bed in the morning, the world is such a disappointment to them.

Methinks the sock puppets are out in force right now. I don't envy the moderators one iota.

2. I Think it's faux outrage.....

concern trolling.... or just mere boredom without thinking it through. I just kicked your post to make it more obvious. I think most folks do not even know who Vicki Iseman is.....

8. Feigned outrage over a former candidate. Oh but some are genuinely *hurt* by this .

:eyes:


Oh, the vapors! The dudgeon! The acrimony and self-loathing! :spray: :rofl:

10. I imagine that if they confirm that McCain had an affair eighteen months ago

while running for President, people who supported him with their time and money will feel outrage. Since the confirmed McCain affair was with his current wife something like twenty years ago, NO, it isn't getting as much attention.

3. At least one...

almost certainly two...
and probably several.

He's a GOPer...it's not newsworthy because everybody know Republicans are moral. It's the Democrats who have to prove their morality by acting morally. :sarcasm:

5. IOKSHAR

It's OK Since He's A Republican. Lather, rinse, repeat.

[mother earth]

6. Not letting it plummet....kicking this one up.

This fact needs to be brought up each and every time anyone comments on the Edwards story....I'd like to see the salivating republicons from yesterday confronted with a McCain question or two, or three....or four....damn that liberal media.:kick:

[fascisthunter]

7. thank you... you get it

[renie408]

9. It was a big story...twenty years ago when it happened. Edwards' affair came out

yesterday. And actually, I was surprised to see that my local news mentioned McCain's affair when covering Edwards.

11. Actually, Vicki Iseman was just earlier this year

You DO know who Vicki Iseman is, don't you?

[fascisthunter]

12. I Guess Not...

Here she is:

[renie408]

14. Wow. She looks creepily like his wife. But actually, I do know who she is.

That affair is still in the 'unconfirmed rumor' stage. And when Edwards' affair was in the 'unconfirmed rumor' stage, it wasn't headline news, either.

It wouldn't hurt my feelings any if Edwards' situation caused SOMEBODY to look more closely at the Iseman thing, though.

[renie408]

13. Yes, and I also know that affair is not confirmed. Until Edwards

admitted his affair, it wasn't news either. You DID notice that, didn't you?

[gratuitous]

15. And . . . ?

When was the first, last or anytime in between that you saw a major media person asking McCain about Vicki Iseman? Because the next time will be the first time.

Sort of makes me wonder why the talking chuckleheads got on no-longer-a-candidate-and-now-private-citizen John Edwards, yet they can't be bothered even to ask about John and Vicki? Of course, if McCain simply issues a non-denial denial, that will be sufficient to end the matter forever.

18. When did a major media person ask Edwards about Hunter?

AFTER HE CAME FORWARD.

Jeez, why is that so hard to understand??

[fascisthunter]

16. um..... McCain is Presently the Candidate for the GOP

He is running for President of the United States of America. Why do you favor bashing Edwards but not the Republican candidate? Why the excuses?

[renie408]

17. When did McCain publicly admit to the Iseman affair? And when did the

full court media press on Edwards start? Until Edwards came forward, this was being treated strictly as a tabloid rumor. I didn't know who Rielle Hunter was until I came HERE.

If McCain admits to Iseman, it won't get ignored.

[fascisthunter]

19. you really do invest a lot of emotion on Edwards

why is it so important for you.... are you related to the man? You do realize the media is using this to tar Democrats in general. Enough is enough...

20. Well, actually, McCain's first wife was the divorcee of one of his school chums, wasn't she? n/t
