7. He's been fighting back. Where have you been?
Since his return from vacation, he's been beating McCain down himself, in ads, and with the help of surrogates.

12. He needs to take the gloves off. Attack McCain's character directly
Attack his perceived strength: National Security
Attack attack attack. I don't want to hear about how good Obama is, I want to hear about how bad McCain is.

14. Heard this on Thom Hartman
that McCain came out with a new TV ad, saying something like these kids are cute, but are ready to lead or something like that.

McCain is a filthy disrespectful man if he does come out and does this ad.

26. I do-
I didn't at first, but the 'cabbage patch' kids 'celebrity' part gave it away. I hope that is all there is to this.

27. It's supposed to be funny. It's Andy Borowitz.
But... hey, I'm not above trying to figure out how to use whatever might be at my disposal to poke a big hole in the other guy...

13. McCain's kids are just as precocious.
His son is just about to receive his first indictment.

17. The Andy Borowitz piece is SATIRE.
Borowitz only posts satirical Onion-type pieces.

18. I think this may be an error
I did a quick Google search on this subject. I found this, which was posted today, but it's satire. Is this what Thom was referring to?

25. It was a JOKE..... Geezus, some people have no capability to discern satire from reality
Edited on Tue Aug-26-08 01:19 PM by scheming daemons

It was from a comedian. It was a joke.


Come on... I became a Democrat because Republicans are soulless, low IQ, no sense of humor fuckheads. Don't be like them.

31. GET A GRIP PEOPLE -- ITS A JOKE FROM A COMEDIAN
Sorry for shouting, but since people are continuing to post their "outrage" over this after a dozen posts pointing out its satire, I figured maybe yelling would help.
