John McCain Fails Leadership Test.................

GOP Rep. Slimes Obama, John McCain Fails Leadership Test

"The rank and unrepentant racism of GOP Rep. Steve King has presented John McCain with his first test of leadership since securing the Republican nomination. And he's failing miserably.

Faced with King's vile and imbecilic assertion that "the optics" of a Barack Obama presidency would encourage "the radical Islamists" -- and that al-Qaeda "will be dancing in the streets" if Obama wins -- McCain had a spokesman tell Fox News that McCain "doesn't agree with King's comments," and offer the toothless bromide: "He intends to run a respectful race and keep it about the issues."

"Doesn't agree"? That's the strongest response he is willing to offer? Where is the unequivocal repudiation? Where is the insistence that terrorism is a real threat this country is facing and should not be toyed with for repugnant partisan attacks?

McCain's half-hearted tsk-tsking is all the more inadequate given King's defiant "I'm right" defense of his comments and his assertion that voters "should be looking at" Obama's middle name because "there is an implication that the identity that [terrorists] would infer in that name is different in the rest of the world than it is in the United States... Our enemies will view this differently, and I think that's something we should be looking at."

This speaks volumes about the grimy reality of today's Republican Party, where the lunatic fringe has become the mainstream.


If the Lunatic Fringe was main stream as Huffingdrugs stated, we would not have "McPains me to see him as Republican Candidate", as our candidate .... it would be more like Pat Buchanan or Ron Paul .... not this milquetoast loser we have .......... Lay down the Crack Pipe Arianna

No offense to Ron or Pat ..........

Are you saying that you would rather have Ron Paul or Pat Buchanan as the republican nominee..

Ron Paul... Bring everyone home here and we can just be by ourselves?

Pat " everybody has to go to church" Buchanan...

I can cite people who can "prove" that the moon landings didn't happen or "prove" that the Government blew up the WTC. Does that make it true?

Nope, the bluffington post is worthless drivel, and it doesn't matter if a bunch of bad toothed, kidney pie eating brits say otherwise.
