John McCain Calls Our Beloved Capitol "The City of Satan."

[David Zephyr]

Associated Press has reported that in a move to pander to religious conservatives today, Republican presidential candidate John McCain made the following statement regarding the Capitol of the United States of America, the home of Arlington Cemetery, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the White House, the Supreme Court of the United States and both Houses of Congress:

"It's harder and harder trying to do the Lord's work in the city of Satan," McCain said of Washington.

When your name, McCain, is Irish for "Son of Cain" which means the son of Satan in the Bible which would be the Anti-Christ in the Book of Revelation; when the "Mark of Cain" is used interchangeably with the "Mark of the Beast" in Christian eschatology, one would wonder why this man who wants to be the most powerful man on earth would refer to our beloved Capitol as "the City of Satan."

Please pass this along to everyone you know.

1. look for him to use more of this jargon...

probably this same term for more than one city....


his Jesus is probably REAL PROUD of johnny today

[SKKY]

2. Already pandering to the Huckabee crowd I see...

[Disturbed]

4. Why does he want to reside there for another 8 years?

:shrug:

[katty]

3. City of Satan chief occupant: bush - hard to do ANY work,mac

[OwnedByFerrets]

5. That one line should completely disqualify him

from being president. FUCKER!!

[David Zephyr]

7. Thank you! The Lincoln, Jefferson & MLK Memorials! The "Wall" JFK's Gravesite.

What a jerk.

I love my country and our historic capitol is not "the city of satan".

Maybe I am a nut, but that statement has me furious. How dare he say this!

[goclark]

9. Is it still debateable if he is eligible to run for President?

:crazy:

[kevinbgoode]

25. Exactly. McShame is obviously a terrorist representing some

jihadist religion bent on taking over the U.S. government and destroying America.

[TZ]

6. One of Satan's minions checking in!

Fucker. Way to insult a truly nice city. I love politicians who want to be President but treat the locals like dirt. And people wonder why DC residents want voting rights. Cause of jackasses like McCain who don't know a fucking thing about the city and its people, yet want to dictate to residents how to live!!:grr: :grr: :grr:

[Voice for Peace]

8. I refer to it as the cheat and deceit capital of the world, sorry to say.

[TZ]

13. And the bunches of us hard working non political professionals in DC

say take your broad brush and STFU...

[Voice for Peace]

18. LOL please, it is humorous and apt.

[Voice for Peace]

19. (I live here... if that helps)

[The Backlash Cometh]

10. McCain proves the adage that actions speak

louder than words.

[olshak]

11. Do you have a citation?

The only item I can find is from 2007.

[David Zephyr]

15. Sorry. Here is the link to his statement today from the Associated Press:

12. Awesome....

I am totally voting for him now... Gotta usher in that Apocalypse, ya know! But seriously, I think there are some tinges of racism about his comments, considering DC has a majority black population. Back in the "good ol days", Blacks were constantly referred to as "Children of Satan" because of their skin color. I'm so glad to see the real straight talking McInsane.

[primavera]

14. Capital

The Capitol is the building where Congress lives.

But what an asshat: the Lord's work?

[Wizard777]

16. HUH? The mark was placed on Cain by God. Not the devil.

God placed that mark upon cain to protect him from the men that would see the blood of Able upon his hands and kill him. The mark of Cain has nothing to do with the mark of the beast. The mark of Cain shows God's opposition to the death penalty.

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. OMG! Man that rings hollow from him. (Not that it should sound solid, either.)

[Flubadubya]

20. Capital... not Capitol

The city is the capital, the building is the capitol.

I remember learning the difference in elementary school when a teacher told us to remember it as the "ol(d) building" and "al(l)" the people in the city.

Have a nice day! :)

[RIDK]

21. Your Cain History Is Incorrect.

Cain in the Bible is the first name of the World's first Murderer, that is different from the Irish surname McCain which is the Anglicized version of the Irish Gaelic O'Cathain, Mac Cathain, and Mac Eain. Eain is taken from the Latin Joannes via Aramaic and the Hebrew y'hohanan, which translates into "Jehovah has favored". Before you begin spouting false aspects of a surname, learn its true history. You have offended many in Ireland with your ignorant talk, and I truly wish for you to step foot in Northern Ireland and learn of what you know little.

[SlowDownFast]

22. He would know.

He regularly communes with him.

They're like real good buds 'n all:

[Hekate]

23. Bush-Cheney will soon be gone back to the bowels of Hell whence they came, so it should improve. nt

[kevinbgoode]

24. What a tool . ..

Well Mr. McCain...perhaps you can explain how you have done the "Lord's work" over the last two dozen years. . .and then please explain how you could dump your first wife and commit adultery - before you were in the city of Satan?

Americans don't want to hear that crazy-ass wingnut shit any longer. I hope he keeps spouting that bull, because he'll lose so big in the general election that the fundies will be exposed for the tiny, bitchy little minority they are. . .

[noel711]

26. Let the Pander-Fest Begin!

Alert the press! John McCain is on his knees,
worshiping the neo-con fundies!

[Virginia Dare]

27. The beautiful city of my birth is SOILED by cretins like John McSHAME!

I spit in his general direction.

[Laughing Mirror]

29. Richard Nixon called it the "crime capital" back in 1968 and he got elected

Will McCain's hatred direct at the District of Columbia 40 years later help him too?

DC is my birthplace too, Virginia Dare, and where I grew up. It's nice to meet a fellow native. I was born at the old Sibley Hospital on North Capitol Street. What about you?

[ensho]

35. I was born at the old Emergency hosp. before air conditioning

and my father, sitting outside (night) heard me cry through the open delivery room window.

tales from the 'olden days'.

[Laughing Mirror]

36. Where was the old Emergency hospital?

I don't remember it, but remember the name.

When I was born there was no air conditioning either.

[ensho]

37. don't know. the family house(s) were at 8th & East Capitol Sts.

my mother's aunt was head nurse at one of the hosp. for a time. (homeopathic?)

I'm dredging up memories of long ago conversations.

[spanone]

28. john who?

[DawgHouse]

30. I'm sure he meant to say City of Santa.

:)

[myrna minx]

31. Ha. Or the Santabot.

[ensho]

32. I was born in Wash., D.C. - it's not Satan's city. at the moment the

neo cons occupy and own it (like they do Iraq).

rid D.C of the neo cons and guns and it will be a pretty city again.

(everyone always thought the nation's city was so pretty with all the tree lined streets)

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

33. This has to be used in an anti-McCain ad. It will show what a pandering wacko he is.

BTW.. I do agree with him as long as one realizes he is one of the devil's minions. :)

[undeterred]

34. Since when is pandering to lobbyists is "the Lord's work"?

The Lord wants to know.
