WTF is up with John McCains MYSPACE page??

[platosrepublic]

http://www.myspace.com/johnmccain

His #3 friend is some crazy dude named " MadIrishmaninc"; if you click on his profile there are some anti UK pro IRA slogans with photos of people holding weapons, his profile picture is a peace sign with an AK 47, some photos of half naked women, and some racist photos that are anti Semitic/Arabic.

This is a huge political liability for the McCain camp, and i could only imagine the outrage if a democrat had a link like that on one of their sites; I'm assuming its gone unnoticed because of the lack of interest/visitors to his site. But he should be asked about who this guy is, and how he is connected to his camp.

1. If only we had a Sean Hannity in the media who could invite that guy onto his show.

[Olney Blue]

2. Does McCain know that he has one?

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

5. Exactly !

[WorseBeforeBetter]

8. Does he even know what MySpace is?

I'm betting not. Same with Smirk.

[Cheap_Trick]

19. Bushie says "My Space?"

"It's wherever I happen to look or wherever I happen to be."

3. strange (though I don't really want to click on the site, haha)

Also...WTF is up with John McCain doing a commercial on Lifetime to promote their series Army Wives? So fucking transparent.

[MadMaddie]

6. He is stupid...especially since he left his Navy wife when he

returned to the US from Vietnam.....she had a catstrophic car accident and wasn't pretty for him anymore so he started screwing around on her.

Man what an idiot.

[ima_sinnic]

26. but Obama also did one for Army Wives -- they gave them "equal time"

I got pretty twisted when I saw the one you;'re talking about and was about to send Lifetime an angry e-mail about it, but at the next commercial break, Obama was featured in a little promo for Army Wives, giving the troops a lot of respect, etc.

[ErinBerin84]

29. ohhhh, ok.

I don't really watch lifetime enough, and the two times I had it on, McCain was on. I was only watching because there was a movie on a 9th grade syphilis outbreak, and it was too hilarious to pass up.

[Breeze54]

4. Who cares????!!!!

:silly:

[PM7nj]

7. I bet that guy is from my town.

I think we have more IRA members here than in Dublin.

[hendo]

9. its myspace.

The order of the friends on my myspace page is the order they were added in. I think that is probably the case for many people.

10. Myspace is the sewer of social networking

It's such a cesspool...

[mcctatas]

15. I was driving my daughters home from school and on a fundie

church the sign said "Jesus died for my space in heaven", being that I have raised biblically illiterate but computer savvy kids, my 12 year old says "I wonder if they have facebook too, my space sucks"

;)

[WorseBeforeBetter]

22. You got that right.

I have no idea what would possess a 20-something young woman to post a pic of herself urinating in a parking lot (and without the Glamour Don't Eyes). Or one of her drunken friend hurling into a public commode with her pants down. And dear God... the "blogs." It is a sad state of affairs.

[and-justice-for-all]

25. Hey, I use MySpace for my station networking..

It is great for discovering new bands..

[symbolman]

27. Hey can you tell me more about that?

Im getting ready to release some music, and get it out there, I'd appreciate any info..

Thanks in advance :)

[and-justice-for-all]

28. What would you like to know...email me via DU..nt

[platosrepublic]

11. Its up to you to chose who is on your front page

It doesn't automatically populate it for you, they had to make a conscious decision to put that on the front page.

[hendo]

12. wierd, mine autopopulated. Then again, as I said, its frickin myspace

Does anyone really take myspace seriously anymore? Other than clicking that mccain link, I haven't visited myspace in almost a year now.

[LTR]

31. They can also be arranged in any preferred order

On the front page.

[Renew Deal]

32. That's not exactly true.

It will autopopulate, but it is up to the account holder to change the order.

[blogslut]

13. Any fool with an internet connection and an email address

Can join McSame's MySpace network. If his people aren't moderating it, that's their problem.

[countmyvote4real]

14. The McS*me campaign doesn't have a clue.

Maybe so, maybe not. I am sure the Grandpa McS*me has never personally longed on to myspace.( I don' t even want to go there and I'm more than 20 years younger.) I think its the FOX buyout that freaks me. Whatever.

McS*me is not stable. Never has he been stable. Never has he been this old and pretending to be stable. blah blah blah

Are we electing the leader of the "free" world OR the Crypt Keeper?

Oops. That was a bit over the top, but I still can't take it back.

[Occam Bandage]

16. Oh No The Myspaces Will Destroy McCain!!!!!!! Seiresly!

[On the Road]

17. It Would be an Entertaining Variation on a Google Bomb

if people started creating ghastly MySpace identities and friending McCain en masse. The best thing is that McCain might have difficulty understanding what happened even if it were explained to him.

[FlyingSquirrel]

18. Did you say "half naked women"?

I'm there!

:7

[bridgit]

20. oh.........my gawd, if that old schmuck thinks i will ask him to be my friend he's coo-coo...

for cocoa puffs :silly:

[Heather MC]

21. I figured he was going to get his message out using smoke signals and carrier pigeons!

:rofl:

[patrick t. cakes]

23. always thought the ira was kinda socialist in nature

no? :shrug:

[OneAmerica]

24. I guarantee you if Obama had a black militant or a crazy pastor on his Myspace

It'd be all over the cable news.
Another name for Hannity to add to his "20 year association" list.
And a talking point for all other race-baiters in his vain.

[LTR]

30. So, if they try to go after Obama for his social networking blog network...

...and some of the people that post there (I read a thread about it on here last night), then all one has to do is go through McDole's Myspace page and see what his supporters are advocating.

Interesting. I'll give the first rec.
