Oh, here we go. First John McBush called Barack Obama the candidate of Hamas because someone within Hamas has apparently said they'd prefer him. As if Obama is courting the terrorist vote, his position on Hamas is no different that McCain!! So this accusation is so low rent and such a cheap shot that I almost would rather not even give it space on my blog except for one thing.Barack defended himself by saying that the McCain accusation shows that he is "losing his bearings." However, the McStain camp is claim his statement of "losing his bearings" was a veiled criticism on McBush's age. Wow, that's reading a lot into three little words don't ya think? Why is he so defensive? To me it's saying McCain is out of touch and is focusing his attention on silly, ridiculous things. It's not a knock on his age, Obama is saying he's a person who is off-track, losing his moral compass. It's a statement meaning that McCain is lost in the weeds of stupidity.
McCain recently called Obama, "naive" so I guess we Obama supporters are supposed to fly off the handle and say that was an insult on Barack's younger status. John McBush has to say stuff like this because he has nothing else to offer but more war and the same Bush economy. He use to be against the tax cuts for the rich but now he's for it. Sounds just like Bush to me!!
I think they are throwing this crap out there as cover to break their "desire" for a civil campaign by saying this "incident" shows that Obama fired first so that now it's all fair game. I'm telling you though, if they try and bring up the Rev. Wright story yet again, I think most Americans are going to make it clear that they're tired of talking about that issue . I think we've all gotten tired of that bullshit. So much for that "straight talk" that McCain claims to be about. This twist of words is about as straight as Elton John.
Meanwhile, Obama picked up five new super delegates today which puts him only 4 away from over-taking Clinton.

Yeah, it's politically incorrect to be seen as discriminating against someone based on race, religion, or even age, so it is a handy defensive strategy, to assert that one is being attacked due to those factors, when in actual fact the attack is based on logic.
This technique is often used by minority groups (many times they actually believe it too), because they sometimes are so paranoid about discrimination that they perceive it in any criticism directed at them or their beliefs. Also, a cry of 'racism', or 'agism', or 'sexism' puts the detractors on the defensive, diverting their attention from the real issues.
I have a friend here in Australia who is of aboriginal descent, and I have to be careful how I word criticism I may have of any individual who is also of this racial background, because my friend is extremely sensitive to it, and looks not at my arguments, but only at the fact that I am criticising a person who has dark skin.
He allows me to freely lampoon and criticise white people for some of their silly actions and words, but will allow no such criticism of anyone who doesn't have white skin.
I try to just ignore who says or does stuff and just look at what it is they said or did, but it is hard sometimes to separate the two - if I don't like someone (like Bush for example), then I am likely to immediately disagree with him without actually listening to what he says (in this example, this strategy is probably sound, so maybe not such a good example, lol)
Tex: Yeah it's a touchy issue for many people and a difficult needle to threat at times.
Some minorities believe that it is not possible for them to be racist which is of course absurd. Everyone has that capacity and I know of many minorities who are racist toward whites.
Then there are the bigots such as the gay haters. It always makes me wonder why they are so passionate about homosexuality, ya know?
I mean, if you're so secure in your sexuality and confident that it is the only proper way to express your love then why so touchy about what others do?
