Wisconsin Welcomes John McCain with Patriotic Display of Outrage

POSTED BY: Mary Phillips-Sandy

The Dow may be plummeting, but there's one index that keeps going higher and higher: the collective blood pressure of John McCain's supporters.

As yesterday's rallies in Wisconsin proved, a lot of Republicans are angry. Very, very angry

There were shouts of "Nobama" and "Socialist" at the mention of the Democratic presidential nominee. There were boos, middle fingers turned up and thumbs turned down as a media caravan moved through the crowd Thursday for a midday town hall gathering featuring John McCain and Sarah Palin.

Did I say angry? I meant boiling over with fury.

"I'm mad! I'm really mad!" another man said, taking the microphone and refusing to surrender it easily, even when McCain tried to agree with him.

Rule number one: Never try to come between an outraged man and his microphone.

"Senator Obama has a clear radical, far-left, pro-abortion record," McCain said after being asked about the issue.

The answer prompted a shower of boos from the crowd members. They booed again when he mentioned William Ayers, who bombed U.S. facilities to protest the Vietnam War as part of the domestic terrorist group the Weather Underground. They booed again at the mention of Rep. Barney Frank, a liberal from Massachusetts.

To be fair, that last part is just a local way of honoring the Packers' victory over the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXI.

But seriously, what's the next move for John McCain, he of the bipartisan nature and aisle-reaching-across record? Well, here's the ad he's launching in Wisconsin today…

That should calm everybody right down.

  1. What is scarey and stupid is that we are recycling the Ayers issue. It has been discussed during primaries and even since then. What hasn't been discussed is anything about Sarah Palin since she seems to be off limits except to Fox. I want to know about the Alaska succession group her husband is involved with. Why she gave the opening remarks at the 2008 rally??? She told them "to keep up the good work". WHAT?? that sounds like treason.

  2. No, Obama's "association" with Ayers isn't an issue because, get this, THERE IS NO ASSOCIATION.

    Christ, people are stupid. Look into it sometime. You're sitting right here on the internet right now, you morons. Use that mouse clicky-thing your hand is on right now to click around the interwebs and actually effing look into the shit.

    There is no association. Having kids that go to the same school because you happen to live in the same neighborhood isn't an association. Just happening to serve on on the same large charity board isn't an association.

    THERE IS NO F*CKING ASSOCIATION! STOP BEING SO F*CKING STUPID FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

    Hey, scared shitless Republicans: Grow the fuck up you collective dumbass.

  3. To know Ayers is human
    To forgive is divine
    Remember Obama
    Was not even nine

    So don't mention Wright
    Or you'll have to come clean
    Secessionist Sarah
    And Keating-5 John
    We're all jus' wondrin'
    What planet you're on

  4. Obama + Ayers + Board = Terrorist Sympathizer? If that's true then:

    Annenberg + Ayers + Board = Terrorist Funder!

    The Annenberg's funded the board Obama and Ayers were on. The Annenberg's are John McCain's #2 Endorser according to the McCain Campaign last week. And if we use McCain's own logic he is supported by people who give money to domestic terrorists.

    Who else was on the board? Should we be looking out for them too? Ayers worked for the University of Chicago at the time. Should we get the President of UC fired for hiring and giving money to a known domestic terrorist? Think people! Put your brains in gear and take McCain's logic just one more step. It just doesn't work.

  6. Between all the hateful stuff we're hearing about the rallies and this add I'm truly disgusted with McCain's campaign. Enough, please stop hate mongering!!

    Myself and many friends have been laid off from our jobs, the economy is in the crapper, and is getting worse day by day. I need health care and to know my retirement that I've just begun saving is going to be there and not paying for all these past f**k ups.

    I too have lost all respect for McCain. He doesn't care about the people, or his country. He cares about Winning, and doing whatever it takes to do so.

  7. Please pay no attention to the half dozen republicans who also sat on the board or the director of the chairity who appointed everyone to the board and is an associate of McCain.

  8. Alec,

    If Ayers is/was so bad, why are you totally unconcerned with the Palin's association with the Alaska Independence Group or McCain's very cozy relationship with Carl Lindner.
    As head of Chiquita Brands, Lindner gave millions to terrorist groups while some were on the US Terror watch list. These groups killed thousands where Ayers group only managed to kill 3 of their own and hasn't even been in existance since about 1973. So I ask you directly Alec as a staunch Republican, which association is the more henious. Please Alec, I really want to know how you square this?

    Proof Obama backed ruthless, foreign thug
    Set up direct Senate contact for Kenyan opposition leader
    Posted: October 10, 2008

    Sen. Barack Obama designated a personal aide as his direct contact for the 2007 Kenyan presidential campaign of Raila Odinga, who later was appointed prime minister after his election loss was followed by widespread, deadly violence that destroyed or damaged 800 Christian churches, according to e-mails obtained by WND senior staff writer Jerry Corsi during a trip to Kenya.

    Corsi attempted to release this and other information at a Tuesday press conference in Nairobi. The WND reporter and No. 1 New York Times bestselling author was detained by Kenya security officers as soon as he entered the hotel to make his presentation. He was held incommunicado and without food for the entire day before being permitted to board his regularly scheduled flight out of the country to London, where he is currently recuperating from the ordeal.

    As WND has reported, Obama openly campaigned for Odinga during the Illinois Democrat's 2006 Senate "fact-finding visit" to Kenya.

    Odinga called for protests over alleged voter fraud after losing the December 2007 general election. The resulting protest violence left an estimated 1,000 members of the dominant Kikuyu tribe in Kenya dead and an estimated 500,000 displaced from their homes.

    The links between Obama and Odinga were documented by copies of two e-mails obtained by Corsi during his meetings in Kenya with various government officials and others.

    The e-mails, apparently sent by Obama himself, referenced the senator's aide, Mark Lippert. The e-mails were provided to WND by an insider in Kenya who fled Odinga's Orange Democratic political party and requested anonymity because of the danger of retaliation.

    The e-mails, identified as coming from Obama's Senate office, are addressed to "railaaodinga" at a yahoo.com address.

    A WND e-mail to the same Obama address generated an automated response and a list of contacts for Obama's offices. A WND e-mail sent to the Odinga e-mail address didn't generate a response.

    One e-mail purportedly from Obama, dated Dec. 22, 2006, read, "I will kindly wish that all our correspondence [be] handled by Mr Mark Lippert. I have already instructed him. This will be for my own security both for now and in future."

    Lippert is a long-term Obama Senate staff member identified by the Chicago Sun-Times as a member of Obama's "inner circle of foreign policy experts." The Sun-Times has said if Obama is elected president, his secretary of state and national security advisers are expected to come from this inner circle.

    In December 2006 Odinga was in the early stages of planning to run as the Orange Democratic candidate against President Mwai Kibaki.

    The e-mails from Obama's office to Odinga's presidential campaign seem to show Obama and Odinga, who once told the BBC he is Obama's cousin, had discussions about Odinga's 2007 campaign.

    WND was unable to reach the Obama campaign for a comment, as the campaign telephone system disconnected a WND call three times in a row without any provision to leave a message.

    The former Orange Democratic official who provided the e-mails to WND asked for anonymity because of concerns the disclosure of his identity could endanger his life in a volatile political atmosphere in Kenya where Odinga's fellow Luo tribal members staged sometimes violent protests against Kibaki's supporters, who primarily are Kikuyu.

    Sen. Obama's relatives in Kenya are Luo.

    The former Orange Democratic official reported abandoning the party and opposing Odinga because of concerns Odinga had manipulated tribal violence in Kenya to gain political power.

    During Corsi's trip to Kenya, WND also confirmed the role of the anonymous party source in implementing an Odinga campaign strategy which the source claimed was shared with Obama's Senate office. The strategy is described in a document titled "Executive Brief on the Positioning and Marketing of the Orange Democratic Movement & 'The People's President.'"

    The document at one point suggests: "It is possible to trigger a class war by painting the Kibaki Government as an insensitive, uncaring group of Muthaiga Golf clubbers. Available research also suggests that this strategy could also resonate with poor kikuyu youth who feel economically marginalized by their own government. As part of this strategy the party should seek to elevate the emotions within all youth constituents who may it successful, be willing to vote for us in the protest. Visible signs of class disparity will provide important fodder for this theme."

    WND previously reported Obama was in telephone communications with Odinga on nearly a daily basis during the Democratic primary in New Hampshire in January.

    The second e-mail, again from Obama's Senate address to Odinga's e-mail, stated, "Thanks for contacting me about Mr Lippert through email. Contact him through mark_lippert.obama.senate.gov."

    Chapter 4 of Corsi's "The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality," titled "Kenya, Odinga, Communism and Islam," refers to the strategy document, but its authenticity was confirmed by the former Oorange Democratic official during interviews with Corsi in Kenya over the last week.

    The document describes an Odinga strategy of exploiting "anti-Kikuyu sentiments," a clearly racial strategy aimed at inflaming long-standing tribal animosity to gain electoral advantage for Odinga.

    The last point of the campaign document describes what happened when Odinga lost the December 2007 election: "Ethnic Tensions/Violence as a Last Resort."

    Obama continued to support Odinga's effort to share Kenya's head-of-state with President Kibiki even after the wave of Odinga-prompted violence that followed his defeat.

    Some pundits in the U.S. already are suggesting that if Obama is not elected, there could be violence. On CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" show, James Carville said, "But you stop and contemplate this country if Obama goes in and he has a consistent five point lead and loses the election, it would be very, very, very dramatic out there."

    According to a Wall Street Journal article posted on the Obama campaign website, Lippert is doing double duty: in civilian life as Obama's chief foreign-policy adviser and in the military as a Lieutenant JG who is planning to serve as an intelligence officer for the Navy SEALS.

    The site gives Lippert, 34, credit for helping "hone" Obama's anti-war views.

    The website report states: "Over the past two years, Sen. Obama and Lt. Lippert have traveled around the globe together, played one-on-one basketball and shared each other's shoes. Lt. Lippert has continuing email exchanges with the senator's half sister in Africa. Sen. Obama encouraged Lt. Lippert to get engaged. Sen. Obama calls Lt. Lippert, 'one of my favorite people in the world.'"

    Lippert previously worked at the State Department and at the Office of Naval Intelligence in Suitland, Md.

    The report says Lippert accompanied Obama as an adviser to Russia and then to Kenya.

  10. With either Obama or McCain, we get:

    1) Federal Reserve servitude
    2) The foreign entanglements and cycle of war that comes with Federal Reserve servitude (every American war for the last 100 years was bailed out by the only thing that fiat currency can always buy: a war machine. Starting with WWI.) Intellectuals can read "The Creature From Jekyll Island" about the creation (on Jekyll Island Georgia) and operation of the federal reserve.
    3) The "war on (some) drugs" (really a war on the convept of private property ownership and privacy, to the detriment of the punished individuals for victimless legal violations that undermine legitimate law enforcement)
    4) gun control (really a war on the convept of private property ownership and privacy, to the detriment of the punished individuals for victimless legal violations that undermine legitimate law enforcement)
    5) A legal system without true and proper juries, without habeas corpus, and with asset forfeiture and arbitrary punishment for "civil offenses". (See http://www.fija.org )

    I could go on, but I know you're all getting very sleepy, since the schoolmarms at the government youth propaganda camps that raised you didn't imbue you with the capacity or desire for critical thinking. Sweet dreams!
