Video: McCain's YouTube Problem Just Became a Nightmare

Video: McCain thinks Putin is the President of Germany


I'm speechless.

[cliffordu]

1. McCain is a shill. I figure there'll be a September suprise.....

He cannot serve and they know it.

[Oceansaway]

2. i agree...n/t

[SwampG8r]

28. i went on record here

a couple of weeks back saying the same
needless to say i was jeered for the idea

[cliffordu]

30. Yeah, I got a raft o' crap a couple of weeks ago for the same thing.

Any critical look at what the fuck he is about and it becomes obvious.

[Narkos]

34. What do you think the GOP will do if they kick McCain out?

[cliffordu]

35. I don't think they'll have to - He'll pick a vp, then have some sort of

'episode' or some sort of sickness... have to drop out and the vp selection will take over...It'll all be too close to the election to run more primaries.....

The powers that be will have their hand picked candidate and the base will get energized and vote "For Johnny"

[Eric Condon]

38. And the VP will be some young, charismatic guy who's also a hardline neocon, just like Bu$h in 2000.

[cliffordu]

39. I do believe you are correct.....

A Religionist....to help with the end times....

[Narkos]

40. "to help with the end times" LOL!!

[dana_b]

3. I'm telling you guys, he is not unknowledgeable, he is displaying

real symptoms of dementia. This is not ageism, just judgement based on what I've seen in the hospital and personal experience in my own family (as many of you have probably seen in your own lives).

[Voice for Peace]

21. or.. is he a manchurian candidate? serious question

[ProSense]

26. McCain will implode before the GE is over. n/t

[Window]

4. Dear Lord! He's pitiful.

[cbc5g]

5. I hope Obama's team has all of this.

[Carrieyazel]

7. They should. The gaffe happened in February 2007 and the MSM never touched it.

If this isn't a recent gaffe, don't expect the MSM to even care.

[ProSense]

8. The MSM doesn't have to care. The video is out there now

People will reference it. This is a crazy gaffe.

[Carrieyazel]

10. Yeah, but the video has been out there since last year.

He needs to make more gaffes now.

[ProSense]

11. Why are you trying to excuse McCain? It doesn't matter when he said it.

He said it, and what he said was bizarre.

[hendo]

37. but a low-informed voter will never see or hear of it. n/t

[DeschutesRiver]

6. I am on dialup and can't access you-tube with it

Can someone tell me about that second video - do they have John McCain on video SAYING that Putin is the Pres of Germany? If so, when was this?

I can't fricking imagine it - I want to tell dh, but don't want to mis-state it, because this has rendered me speechless just readig about it.

[Massacure]

12. I'll transcribe a script from the second video for you.

The second video is 11 seconds long and is of McCain saying:

"I was in a conference in Germany over the weekend, and uh, President Putin of Germany gave one of the old Cold War style of speeches, uh, as he addressed the conference there."

There is also a C-Span logo on the video with a caption "Road to the White House, 2008"

[DeschutesRiver]

20. thanks massacure.

I wonder then if that is senility or a mis-speaking like Obama did when I heard that he increased the number of US states.

I wish he'd said it more than once to be certain. I've heard other things that make me wonder about the state of his mind but am unsure whether this has enough lead to be ammo against him.

[FrenchieCat]

9. Make that 2nd one viral!

McCain is no foreign policy anything. He really isn't!

[SwampG8r]

29. could the gods have smiled on us with any other candidate

as they have with mccain?
the guy is selfdefeating

[sandnsea]

13. Obvious misspeak

When he says something truly stupid, and he will, we'll have cried wolf so many times no one will pay attention.

[mikehiggins]

14. crying wolf implies that there is no wolf. Take another look, dude. n/t

[sandnsea]

15. There is no wolf here - dude n/t

[ProSense]

17. So you're saying that McCain continually disowning his previous statements and

lying is not stupid?

What McCain said was bizarre by any measure. It's not like he accidentally mentioned Putin's name. He prefaced where he was and mentioned Germany in conjunction with "President Putin."

[sandnsea]

18. I'm saying his reference to Putin and Germany

was a misspeak. He was in a conference in Germany, spoke of Putin, and accidentally said Germany instead of Russia.

When you lump an obvious misspeak into truly bizarre statements and outright lies, you give people the justification to ignore it all.

[ProSense]

19. McCain misspeaks a lot

That's the point, and this one was truly telling.

Not sure I understand how choosing to ignore what you refer to as "truly bizarre statements and outright lies" qualifies as "crying wolf."

[sandnsea]

24. Maybe you should read again

I didn't say we should ignore truly bizarre statements, like not knowing anything about the economy or picking lettuce for $50 hr. I'm saying we diminish the impact of the truly bizarre statements when we blow an honest mistake out of proportion.

[madrchsod]

16. mitty is waiting in the wings

[ProSense]

22. McCain denies criticizing media, even though he actually did.

McCain denies criticizing media, even though he actually did.

The collection grows.

[LBJDemocrat]

23. First video, good; second, not really

Focus on the real issues, like having Lieberman correct him on Middle Eastern affairs.

[ProSense]

25. Repeatedly misspeaking is a real issue, and both tapes will come in handy as

McCain and his advisers continue talking about what terrorists want.

27. Holy shit! And I thought Hillary was a liar!

At least she's consistent (and sane!) McCain can't even keep his positions straight.

McCain: 'I will veto every single beer'

Watch McCain's comments Tuesday.

(CNN) – John McCain issued a promise Tuesday that may cause a bit of unrest with a broad swath of voters:

He'll veto every single beer?

In a slip of the tongue while railing against excessive earmarks at the National Small Business Summit in Washington, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee inadvertently pledged to veto the popular alcoholic beverage.

Watch McCain's slip of the tongue

"I will use the veto as needed. I will veto every single beer — bill with earmarks," he said, as rumblings from the crowd could be heard. "And every single bill that we have come across my desk I will make them famous. I will veto them, you will know their names."
