Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting Your Republican Party
Posted by Jill | 8:12 AM




I don't care that McCain "apologized" later on. He should have renounced this guy right then and there. If he didn't know who the guy was, he should have made it his business to know. You want to ask Barack Obama to renounce and denounce guys like Lewis Farrakhan? Then McCain needs to take a stronger stand against guys like William Cunningham. He can't "regret the comments", he has to denounce them as the ignorant, bigoted, unacceptable swill they are.

As always, Keith and Rachel have it right about Saint John:

the hallmark of republican campaigns since lee atwater has been the cynical efficiency they have developed for getting their racist message across. this variation where the "unknown" makes the statements and takes the hits while the candidate pretends outrage usually means that the racist attack gets more airplay than the phony apology and the vow that "this won't happen again." yeah. right.

the only part of this whole charade that mattered is that a racist attack was made on obama.

Hmm, let's see now. "Lewis" Farrakhan has referred to Judaism as a "dirty religion" and Jews as "bloodsuckers." Cunningham used Obama's middle name. You're right, it's exactly the same.

And add the TN GOP that are going against the so-called McCain apology. According to the local paper:
The state GOP on Monday issued a press release under the headline "Anti-Semites for Obama" that begins:

"The Tennessee Republican Party today joins a growing chorus of Americans concerned about the future of the nation of Israel, the only stable democracy in the Middle East, if Sen. Barack Hussein Obama is elected president of the United States."
