Ass John McCain says Obama would rather lose the war in order to win election

By Langston in Society No Comments Tags: , ,

I’m a bit late with this, but it only came to my knowledge this morning. During a town hall speech last week, Republican presidential nominee John McCain said, “I had the courage and the judgment to say I would rather lose a political campaign than lose a war. It seems to me that Obama would rather lose a war in order to win a political campaign.” Check out the footage:

Woooow! What a mean-spirited, desperate, assholish thing to say. He’s basically accusing Obama of treason and questioning his morals, character, patriotism, and manhood. According to McCain, Obama is so selfish that he values his quest for presidency over thousands of US and Iraqi lives. What a H.A.N.

Obama’s well crafted and articulated response:

Prior to his current presidential campaign, I had a lot of respect for John McCain. Back in 2000, I thought he might have made a better president than both Bush and Gore, although I ultimately supported Gore. I was 16 then, so it didn’t really matter anyway. I also lauded his bipartisan efforts over the past few years. My respect for him has lessened over the course of this campaign and with this statement, it has damn near hit rock bottom.

In closing, my frat brother sent me this dope video that compiles some of McCain’s missteps and attempts at manipulation.

Peace

“Obama is My Slave”

Obama ‘slave’ shirt sparks lawsuit threat

Designer claims unhappy customer got assaulted, now wants to sue.

JUL 17, 2008

When a 25-year-old Manhattan graduate student who was assaulted Tuesday night got dressed that morning, she probably didn’t anticipate that her T-shirt would provoke four teens into shoving her, pulling out her earphones and spitting in her face.

Then again, with a shirt sporting the slogan, “Obama is my slave,” it may have been wise to consider the possibility.

Now she’s suing the $69 shirt’s designer, Apollo Braun, for “all he’s got,” the designer claims.

But the Israeli-born Braun — born Doron Braunshtein — says what allegedly happened to his now-disgruntled customer isn’t his fault — and that his outrageous design reflects not his views but those of “ordinary WASPs.”

“For a lot of people, when they see Obama, they see a slave. People think America is not ready for a black president,” Braun told Metro from his five-year-old Orchard Street boutique.

Braun claims that after the customer — who did not return repeated calls from Metro — threatened to sue, he contacted his own lawyer, who assured him he was shielded by the

First Amendment from any legal action.

The ugly incident over the ugly shirt took place at 8:30 p.m. in Union Square, Braun told Metro, when four African-American female teenagers accosted the student, cursed at her for her shirt and pushed her. According to the designer, the student walked away, but the girls followed her, one pulling the earphones out of her ears, another spitting in her face.

This isn’t Braun’s first sartorial criticism of the Democratic presidential presumptive nominee. He has also sold shirts with slogans such as “Jews Against Obama,” “Obama = Hitler” and “Who Killed Obama?” — which he claims was so popular, he moved 1,200 pieces.

“I can’t stand Obama,” Braun says, adding that it’s not because the Illinois senator is black. “That’s the only thing I like about him. He opens the door for other minorities.”

“He reminds me of Adolf Hitler,” Braun explained, adding he does not like Obama because “he is a Muslim” — a thoroughly debunked myth.

Wow, I’ve never heard a story where every character is completely wrong, but this is one. The t-shirt designer is an idiot who’s attempt at satire was an EPIC FAIL! The customer is a dumbass for paying $70 for a raggedy t-shirt that I could have pressed up. Even stupider for wearing it thinking that there was not going to be any retribution. And, although I hate to say it, the black girls were wrong for assaulting the student. Violence isn’t the answer. Increase the peace.

What a dumb story.
