   Now if he would actually sit down with the vets who have fought and bled to defend the Constitution, maybe he would have some actual understanding of what it really means and just how valuable that “piece of paper” really is. Although, last I heard, you actually had to be a VETERAN to get into a VFW post. As best as I can recall, he has not been promoted commoded to Commander In Chief as of yet … and as the good Reverend Wrong says … no military service … no patriotism?

   Oh wait, the D behind the name gets a free pass right? I do not really want to see what it would look like if B. Hussein Obama tried to be all that he could be … though he may very well end up being an army of one.

   Ummm… who invited him into the VFW and allowed him a drink?

   He aint a Vet… he had to be invited.

   And a photo Op inside a VFW Hall? Who in the VFW approved this?

   I think he’s a liberal first and a Baptist second. A lot of liberal preachers seem to need their naughty-word filter replaced, e.g. Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

   I had one like that once. Smart guy, just occasionally enjoyed shocking the “squares” by dropping the s-word from the pulpit. It was in England, though, so maybe their rules are different.

   Are we sure this guy is a minister? Has it been independently verified or are we just going on his word? Forgive me but my b.s.ometer goes off when a caller feels compelled to give their resume on a talk show. It’s like the “I’m a lifelong Republican but….” calls I hear all the time. Some people think it makes their opinion sound more valid.

    Wonder if he knew that the national VFW is speaking out against illegal immigration and just came out with a 40 page book on their website.

    Check it out. Download a copy or contact the VFW for hard copy.

    Oh, that’s predictable. I’d ask you to look for and point out any “In Praise of McCain” articles on this site. There aren’t any. You know as much. Nobody here is really defending McCain…we KNOW he has a nasty temper. The point is the stooge used to ask that question, purely in an attempt to cause a scene. If he REALLY wanted to know, he could have phrased the question about fifty different ways, to avoid use of the word, to cite the source…all kinds of things.

    I think John McCain is a jackass. But, I think he is the best choice when compared to Obama and Clinton.

    If his temper were so “uncontrollable,” why didn’t he snap when asked this question? He showed admirable control.

    Deflection and personal destruction. The guy who asked the question is a bad person. Even though he doesn’t matter and the McCain character does, it’s his drawbacks you end up discussing.

    Huh. That sounds precisely like your comments here, particularly the deflection part, where you try to deflect reasonable discussion in direction you want them to go. And the person who asked the question is a bad person and a liberal Obama supporter, lest we forget.

    Gateway Pundit has an e-mail from Pastor Kirkland of First Baptist Church of West Memphis, Arkansas with more on Marty Parrish:

    He was licensed by this church at some distant past (he says tin 1980; those who were here at the time say earlier). Marty told me that he was licensed as a teenager just before he left on what was supposed to be a summer mission with some non-Southern Baptist mission in some state other than Arkansas.

    lgm said people here treat problems like global warming like Tinkerbell — thinking they will go away if you stop believing in them.

    As for the guy who asked the c-word question: is this politics or People Magazine. The guy is not involved in politics. He is not on the ballot anywhere and does not advise anyone. The only thing that matters about him is the question and how it was answered and what that says about McCain. Nothing about the guy himself — does he pay he rent or own a dog — will change that. Whether he’s a good or bad person, the question is the same.

    Really? How do you conclude that? He sure was before, as he was involved in the Biden campaign. I don’t know if he is or is not involved in Hillary’s or Obama’s campaign, but I believe he’s being used by someome to cause a stir. Frankly, the guy doesn’t seem capable enough to come up with this himself, unless he cleared it with his fiancee first.

    To answer the questions posted earlier concerning how Obama got into a Veterans Club to begin with:

    Here in Illinois, almost all of the VFW’s and American Legion’s are ‘open’ clubs. You can just walk-in off the street and get served. You can’t attend the meetings unless you’re a member, but other than that one day a month, it’s belly-up-to-the-bar. I have no idea why they’re like that in this state, I just moved here a couple years ago and don’t get time to go to them anyway. I ‘heard’ it was because the business was so bad, they had to open to the public or they’d go out of business.
    Not only that, but the few times my wife and I have been to any Veteran’s club here, we’ve found the few patron’s are decidedly liberal. Even the patron’s who were actually veterans. That alone was enough to make me want to stay home.

    Oh spare me. If there was an anecdote about Senator Obama calling his wife a “cunt” and a “trollop” and someone had the cajones to ask him about it at a photo op, you’d be calling him/her a great hero doing this country a great service.

    Senator McCain’s temper is not news to anyone on either side of the aisle. If he spoke to his wife in such an abusive way, he is certainly not fit to be president.

    And, by the way, John Gibson is the dumbest man in media. I wish foxnews.com still featured his “My Word” segment at the bottom of their webpage. It was consistently funnier and more outlandish than The Onion.

    LGM,

    I know you made a statement similar to that about GW — go back farther. Someone was blathering something like “why are you even here,” or something like that.

    You made a response that included “I’m always around, like Tinkerbell.”

    It was a while ago, but it was funny. I’m not taking anything away from you for it, me being self-deprecating myself and all that, so my comments are intended in good fun when they venture this way.

    Now I know you have a sense of humot, because I have seen it peek out once or twice, so I just wanted to elicit some laughs.

    As for this maroon that dropped the c-bomb, I thought McCain handled it rather well, given his past inclination to pop-off at people. (I still don’t prefer McCain, if that’s what you’re thinking. Just so you know, I only choose him this time because I do not believe in the policies of Obama or the Hildebeast. We have no good choices this time, IMHO.)

    You can’t be serious. Even if it was true, you think harsh language to a spouse is reason to disqualify someone to be president? I wonder what kind of kind words Bill and Hillary shared after Monica’s knee-pad-extravaganza was discovered? Obama has admitted to using curse words quite frequently…so does that make HIM unqualified? Or is the recipient the all-important guide here?

    Well, if that’s the measuring stick, sadly, you’ll not find a whole lot of politicians who meet muster. Not defending it, but in the big picture, it’s not that huge of a deal. Not like getting blowjobs in the Oval Office, though.

    Details, please. Of what do you speak?

    He has BETRAY the will of the people he’s supposed to represent. He has BETRAYED THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, he has BETRAYED our nation by actively working against its best interest

    Again, details, please. There are a LOT of things I don’t like about McCain. I didn’t vote for him in my primary. But of the three left, he is clearly the best of the three, at least to me. Doesn’t mean I have to like him, or that I agree with him on everything. I don’t.
