Two republican congressmen were at their best today at a McCain rally in NC:
Quote:
[First, Representative Patrick McHenry cheered what he called the “biggest crowd John McCain has gotten in North Carolina” and emphasized that this was a critical election with a stark choice between the candidates.
“It’s like black and white,” someone in the crowd at the Cabarrus Arena & Events Center yelled out, laughing. McHenry let the remark pass and finished his speech.
He yielded the microphone to Representative Robin Hayes, who prefaced his comments by saying it was important to “make sure we don’t say something stupid, make sure we don’t say something we don’t mean.” Republicans, he reminded the crowd, were kind people. Plus, he added, the liberal media had shown itself eager to distort such remarks. With the crowd duly chastened and put on best behavior, he accused Obama of “inciting class warfare” and said that “liberals hate real Americans that work and achieve and believe in God.”

Is it just me or is saying "liberals hate real Americans" kinda stupid?

I guess it makes sense at this point of desperation to incite the feeding frenzy and say what the "people" want to hear...particularly following earlier comments made by a Republican Congresswoman from Minn who said this weekend, "Senator Obama and his wife Michelle may hold anti-American views" and they, along with liberals in Congress who share those "anti-American" views should be investigated.
The silence from McCain on these latest comments by surrogates is deafening.
