McCain targets liberals in sharpened stump speech
By GLEN JOHNSON – 23 minutes ago

ST. CHARLES, Mo. (AP) — Republican John McCain and his supporters on Monday branded Democrat Barack Obama a liberal and criticized feminists and the media as they rallied their conservative base in Missouri, a hotly contested bellwether state, two weeks before the election.

In a stump speech sharpened for the second week in a row, the GOP presidential candidate defended his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, against attacks from the "feminist left." And Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., introduced McCain by declaring him under siege by the "liberal elite media."

"John's been there and he's met a little tougher people in his life than the liberal media," Graham said in an allusion to McCain's years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.

Taking aim at Obama, Graham implored the crowd: "Show us that you understand and see a liberal when he's standing out there in front of you. Make sure you show America that it does matter that you keep your word if you're president of the United States."

Why should only the liberals have all the fun?

[louis-t]

2. They are officially taking talking points from rush.

So full of hate.

[BOSSHOG]

5. YO Lindsay, I'm a liberal and I'll stand up for ya and you can suck my DD-214!

Actually lindsay what you are seeing is the next president of the United States unless those of you with "conservative values" perpetrate more crime.

[emulatorloo]

6. Liberals keep their word, Lindsey. EOM

[no_hypocrisy]

7. And that's supposed to get independents to vote for McCain?

[VWolf]

13. LOL My thoughts exactly. n/t

[aquart]

19. They know the independents are gone.

They're now hoping not to lose the Republicans.

[Stargazer09]

36. They've probably given up on the independents

After all, independent voters aren't gullible enough for the GOP.

[Lerkfish]

9. odd. I thought they picked Palin to appease the feminists

[Connie_Corleone]

10. A truly unhinged campaign.

I hope McCain is proud.

[jaxx]

14. Official Victim Status now awarded to McCain.

I hate whining.

[fjc]

15. This gets more pathetic all the time.

I guess they now believe that calling him a liberal is somehow worse than calling him a terrorist.

[SpiralHawk]

16. "We are dividers, not uniters." - Republicons

Ptooey...

[gratuitous]

17. So now they're targeting not just Obama, but us

Well, forewarned is forearmed, as they say. Thanks, Mr. Graham. I'll be sure to keep a closer eye on your supporters, knowing that you're inciting them to violence not just against the Democratic candidate but anyone who votes for him.

And spare me "that's not what I said" ersatz innocent routine Mr. Graham, or I will take it as explicit permission to kick you square in the nads.

[htuttle]

18. Which channel is the 'liberal elite media' on?

I don't think my cable company carries that one...

[SargeUNN]

20. John McCain = Mussolini ????

Fascism which was not afraid to call itself reactionary ... does not hesitate to call itself illiberal and anti-liberal. Mussolini

Maybe McCain hasn't heard of Mussolini the "Father of Fascism" but he should learn about him since he is saying things and even doing things Mussolini believed. These type show their lack of knowledge and the same stuff that has set up fascist take over every time. This shows McCain is too uninformed to be President!

[Mark E. Smith]

21. blah blah blah

That's a11 you get from McStrange, a
steady diet of nothing.

[maxsolomon]

22. booga booga! get scared, murka!

that dog don't hunt.

[darkism]

23. Oh no! Not a LIBERAL! ::gasp:: n/t

[Aristus]

24. Dear John. I am a liberal veteran. And fuck you.

Adopting the tactics of your captors......really bad form...

[argyl]

25. Hey Lindsey,I'm a liberal and damned proud of it, you fascist dickhead.

[madmom]

26. I'm a liberal AND a feminist!

[endarkenment]

27. commie jew faggot n* c* terra-ist bastards for obama!

Oh wait, Lieberman, scratch the jew.

[Bluebear]

28. Go on, just say "Feminazis", McCain. Megadittos!!!!11 Maverick!!!

Loser.

[yellowcanine]

29. McCain has the misfortune of being an undisciplined campaigner running against a very

disciplined campaigner when the economic fundamentals are also against him. The only thing he has going for him is a quasi-racist appeal based on fear.

[alcibiades_mystery]

30. Please remove parenthetical commentary

Violation of LBN rules.

After all this time here, you still can't follow the board rules?

[Dr Fate]

31. I wonder why the "elite Liberal media" never asks why Lindsey never married.

And I wonder if this audience is even aware of that. I'm sure most of them assume he is married.

Sure would be interesting to hear him explain why.

Considering his voice & mannerisms, I'll bet at least 2 or 3 of the conservatives in his target audience could put 2 & 2 together.

LOL! Whenever a conservative cries "Liberal media is out to get me" I have to wonder what a real media that was advesarial to Republicans would do- if it existed...

[TheEuclideanOne]

32. "Attacks from the feminist left". Ahh coming to grips with the fact that Sarah

Palin clearly didn't appeal to ANY of the women you thought that she would attract?

Heck of a vetting process, dumbass.

[Faygo Kid]

33. Building that base of dittoheads, aren't you, John?

Astounding. Anything to keep from talking about health care, financial security, the war, etc.

Nothing about the issues. Nothing.

I hope the asshole gets smoked Nov. 4.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

34. I don't get them using this angle this late in the game

Loss of jobs, flat wages, deteriorating retirement funds, massive deficit levels and foreclosures. That's what's on the majority of voters minds right now. All this "liberals are bad" talk is just fodder for the base that already plans to vote Republican. This is the stuff you spew to bring in donations and energize your base, not win over undecided voters.

[FreepFryer]

35. if the vote spreads should prove too wide to steal, it's about de-legitimizing an Obama presidency.

[scarface2004]

37. run for your life....the libruls are comin!!!!!!!

mkane is a total asshole right wing stooge...i love liberals!!!!!

[felinetta]

38. Blah, blah, blah!

[felinetta]

39. Blah, blah, blah!

[CitizenPatriot]

40. dude, stop with the "feminist left" business

already.

We get it. You hate women. Next.....

[Doodler71]

41. WTH is the feminist - left?

Feminism by nature is a progressive movement. Conservative feminism is an oxymoron.

[silverojo]

47. We already know he hates women

After all, he called his own wife a c*nt in public. Enough said.

A(lways)B(roadcasting)C(rap) Evening sNews just tried to say McShitman had a crowd as large as Obama's was in KC on Saturday.

What are these people smoking?

[LSparkle]

43. WHA??? Obama drew 100K to St. Louis yesterday!

"Media" my ass! These partisans are culpable ...
They're not giving us the TRUTH.

[MrsBrady]

44. McCain really knows how to campaign. I voted for Obama today!!!

[tledford]

45. "Liberals" aren't the bogeyman any more.

Now it's tax-cutting, big-spending pseudo-Republics that scare the shit out of normal people.

Oh, that would be like you, Linds, baby. And your boy Johnny.

[Odin2005]

48. Hate and fear, it's all they have.
