John McCain: 'I hate the bloggers'

John McCain, Town Hall Meeting, Merrimack, NH 12/29/07
Hey right wing bloggers. I think he's talking about you too.
JOHN MCCAIN: "Now we've got the cables. We've got talk radio. We've got the bloggers. I hate the bloggers. We've got all kinds of sources of information."
I'm giddy with the thought that he isn't very fond of me.
I hate John McSame!
He hates the bloggers because they call him on his Sh*t.
If only you could send bar-b-q ribs over the internets tubes.
So, St. John hates the internets? I thought he couldn't use a computer!
"The cables"
do you think he actually knows what "the bloggers" are any more than he knows that "it's a google"?
we can hardly afford to have a president who is only aware of the internet.
we need a president who is aware of all internet traditions.
Your giddy-I'm something but at least he doesn't like me either so that good.
The Cables??
What could he possibly like about a medium that will humiliate and embarrass him across every day of his decrepit frog march to ignominy when he can finally sit down with Bob Dole and discuss graceful retirement?
"But...but ..TV World oracles swore it was in the bag."
And I'll dance on the wreckage of the broken tin kazoo.
McCain is older than God. I suprised he knows what Blogs do!
When will C&L start an open thread today?
It´s early sunday morning here and I´m too tired to wait any longer.
OT, I do know that, but ....
Secret report: biofuel caused food crisis
Internal World Bank study delivers blow to plant energy drive
Biofuels have forced global food prices up by 75% - far more than previously estimated - according to a confidential World Bank report obtained by the Guardian.
The damning unpublished assessment is based on the most detailed analysis of the crisis so far, carried out by an internationally-respected economist at global financial body.
The figure emphatically contradicts the US government's claims that plant-derived fuels contribute less than 3% to food-price rises. It will add to pressure on governments in Washington and across Europe, which have turned to plant-derived fuels to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and reduce their dependence on imported oil.
Senior development sources believe the report, completed in April, has not been published to avoid embarrassing President George Bush.
"It would put the World Bank in a political hot-spot with the White House," said one yesterday.
The news comes at a critical point in the world's negotiations on biofuels policy. Leaders of the G8 industrialised countries meet next week in Hokkaido, Japan, where they will discuss the food crisis and come under intense lobbying from campaigners calling for a moratorium on the use of plant-derived fuels.

The bloggers hate you too, with a passion, and there are more of us than one senile, feeble McLame.
As a Republican John McCain relies on the public having fewer sources of information and fewer platforms for communication that cannot be controlled by a corporate filter. The Republican's ideal internet would emulate China's or Iran's tracking users and filtering out information that does not support the official dogma.
Of course Grandaddy hates bloggers. They call him on his lies and they aren't fighting to get to sit on his lap on his new plane, so they are free to tell the truth, even if he doesn't
Of course he hates the bloggers. You guys (from either side) don't live and die on "special access" the way the traditional news sources do. That means he can't buy you off with barbecues and threats of not talking to you if you don't print what he wants.
He want's everyone to be as stupid as he is. That's not possible.
"Now you bloggers get off my lawn".
Man shakes fist at clouds!
lol the feeling is mutual.
*entering shameless sally field mode*
yaaaaaay...he hates us...he really really hates us!
*mwah* we hate you too johnny!
*sniff*
Christopher Turkel @ 5:
Woooow... really didn't notice that one. Why do I get the idea that when he hears someone talk of watching 'cable', he would get an image of them literally looking into the end of one? I really think he's about a couple of decades past when he would've even been able to cope with the modern world, let alone run a piece of it.
"THE CABLES" ???????????????????????????????
really?? this guy really is the nominee for a major presidential party?
GET OFF MY LAWN YOU DIRTY FUCKING HIPPIE BLOGGERS!
Of course he does. The bloggers on the Left aren't going to like him, and the bloggers on the Right are - at best - slowly coming to accept him as their candidate while at worst, writing screeds about how he can still be replaced as the GOP's candidate.
TlalocW
I feel honored. This means that we are scaring the shit of out John McCain.
I hate an election system that only lets us vote for candidates that are choosen for us by the powerful. Be it "McSame" or "Oh-Need the religious nut bags"
We would have a better chance of getting a fair deal if we chose someone with a 130 IQ or better, off of the unemployment line. I don't think George Clooney is currently working.
Get in line, McCain.
justin @ 22:
You can upgrade from cables to tubes. You get bloggers with the tubes, it's part of tubes service contract.
Yeah, and he's the nominee and he came from a batch of other idjits like Fred the dead , Mittens, Guilianna, Tancredo!!!,etc
I wonder if his 2 piece VCR is blinking "12:00"
This is hilarious ... hahaha ! McCrazy must be getting computer tips from Dubya himself. Loser.
Yes, my friend Mr McCrazy, the bloggers have all the evidence we need right here on the cables to prove what an idiot you are.
P.D. @ 18:
grandpa Simpson lol
If McCain wasn't running for President I might brush off what he said as a joke.
Seriously though "I hate the bloggers" the pajama media is not going to be amused by such a remark.
McC*nt caught a McNasty case of the 'bloggers' once while on shore leave, in between napalming some
gookssorry Vietnamese insurgents nee peasants that were busy going about their lives and defending their country from McHotdog.Just like every other Republicans they forget everything, except nasty STDs contracted on sex vacations.
I just f**ked up a five paragraph essay on the bloggers by not submitting it correctly.
Now I hate myself, and therefore the bloggers.
Maybe McCain just can't type.
He hates the bloggers but he doesn't hate hate radio and the hypocritical pill popping moralists propagandists like Rush Limpnuts? McSame hates the truth that's what it boils down to.
Don from Canada @ 33:
Lengthy texts best done in notepad etc, then copy pasted.
He hates, me he really really hates me (I feel like Sally Fields at the Academy Awards). Good, it makes me feel like I've accomplished something worthwhile. I can only hope that the he internalizes so much hatred , that he eventually blows a gasket. If and when he does that, it is over.
he doesnt hate the bloggers. he's pimping the audience. i bet he doesnt even know he has his own blog on his own site.
get use to it johnny....he hates YouTube also because
he gets caught in lies
Oh it gets better, Gramps is struggling mightily with that old TV World essential, the teleprompter. Evidently it befuddles him and makes a Fudd of him as he ineptly pronounces 'Lexington' several different and exciting ways that would surely make old Elmer proud.
Gramps is doomed to be left in the dust by that 'wascawwy Bawak wabbit'.
From NYT a few hours ago,
Hey John, my mother blogs. You hate my mother?
oncall @ 36:
Not just you, but 10,000s of other Interweb denizens, not to mention all those thinking voters and news history website readers, all detested by McFlipflop and his fellow GOPpers and DINOsaurs.
Their worst nightmare is people with memories and reading abilities.
Piren @ 40:
Does her father own a brewery ?
The cables? Hahahaha....hey McCain!! There is even this new thingamabob that you can actually pick up a device and talk to people that are far away, even in another country now!! No shit it's amazing. This man should be in an old age home, not having his fingers near a nuke button.
McCain hates bloggers because they are the least he can influence..and they are the least his handlers can pressure.
Bloggers are more free to write what they want..and that's what bothers McCain.
i think he's thinking that he's talking about buggerers, which is a different thing all together.
he must hate the bloggers
they have the balls to tell the truth
and don't put with his f#cking bullsh*t.
the only donuts jounrnalists should
give mcfuckhead are the kind you sit on,
and have it permanently attached to
a training stool for incontinence.
it would be nice if you could get one
for his mouth too, since you can tell
which end the shadoobie is flowing.
His worst nightmare; he'd ban us if he could.... thank god for bloggers; (the dem ones) ; the nation will be better off for it....
Is he trying to say he hates "sources of information"?
I hate the bloggers too, because they haven't been able to stop fascism from coming to America.
Awwwwww, poor Johnny McTeleprompter. He can't compete with the bloggers because his teleprompter doesn't work that fast. Bah hahahahahahaha!
The feeling is mutual.
I would have thought that a Presidential candidate would feel some small obligation to praise blogging for the freedom of speech and free flow of information it represents.I guess as long as you joke about it you can say what ever you want.
I luvs me the bloggers. How else would I get any decent information? That's why he hates us. We're diluting the Koolaid. Before he could call Cindy a "C" without getting caught. Now everyone knows.
(Even if it isn't true, who cares? He's a schmuck and it's believable.)--(Sink that GOP ship.)
THANK GOD FOR THE INTERNET AND THE BLOGGERS
He also said he hated "the new fangled talkies". Says they've ruined movies. Not sure why that part of the quote was cut out.
John McCain: ‘I hate the bloggers’
I'm sure it's reciprocated.
Amazing how the gop has the only amnesiac pachyderms in existence.
Of coarse he hates the bloggers, because they research facts and provide links that we can click on and actually see or watch what was actually said. Of coarse that doesn't apply to right wing blogs that crop the real message just like the MSM does.
Johnny McTeleprompter doesn't understand bloggers because never in his life did he listen to his constituents and is surprised Americans have voices, opinions, and know more than he does. He's gotta be in shock.
McCain's not fond of bloggers because the internet is where right wing falsehoods go to die. We need a leader that will help tap the power of individual voices and grassroots organization, not a 72-year-old Luddite.
Conservatives cannot win online because they have no central message or philosophy other than "It's OK if you are a Republican". McCain can't win online because the Ron Paul supporters are still out there, and he can't use Fox news to reach them.
Maybe it wasn't such a good idea for the GOP to use identity politics to piss all over niche groups of people at the same time those niche groups were organizing at a historically unprecedented pace. Technology's like a wave. The Dems are surfing on it, while the Republicans stand in neck-deep water and pretend the wave does not exist.

That kind of thinking went down the tubes starting in January 2001. Of course, Georgie throws out the freedom of speech as a way to convince everyone that he the king is wearing clothes...

Don't worry. He'll change his mind six more times before the weekend is over.
That American flag in the background of the picture should be hanging upside down which would indicate the international distress signal that this country has endured for at least the past eight eight years.
What a useless out of touch old piece of shit that asshole is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL Exactly.
something is wrong with this picture , who would want a point man who stomps around looking for land mines ? .
"I hate the bloggers. They plug up the tubes on the Internets tighter than my colon was plugged after that 'Cheese Festival', happy horse shit in Monroe, Wisconsin."
I love the bloggers. Well, except for the batshitcrazyinsane righties. I'm unfond of them.
"We've got all kinds of sources of information." Huh....is there something wrong with that. If I know I'm being fed bull shit can't I look elsewhere for the truth? That's kinda the way it works, Senator McCain. The truth does manage to find its way to the surface of the methane pile and if the bloggers are the ones supplying it so be it.
McCrazy probably still owns one of those hand-crank telephones and thinks that Gertie down at the corner store puts his calls through for him.
The power of the internet in this election will be amazing. The rightwing nutjobs are finally realizing that the American people can think for themselves. It scares the hell out of them, too.
Doesn't Johnny's daughter blog? So, Johnny hates his daughter? Does Johnny even remember who his daughter is without her wearing a nametag that proclaims..."Hello, My Name IS........."
I hate the McBushes!
Hate...'nuf said.
digg it

More Jesse Helms "greats" http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2893560 A small fearful man who contributed nothing but hate and fear. He will be remembered as nothing more than a sad footnote in American political history of a bygone era. He's dealing with a lot of karma right now.
McCain hates the bloggers and Amato blogs the haters.
Nice symmetry there.
Sure he does! A well-informed person is his biggest fear.
karl @ 38:
never fear Viacom has rushed to McFlipflops rescue, soon there wont be any contrary McC*nt videos on Youtube Google et al, just the approved ones.
It's only natural to hate the truth bringers.
KayInMaine @ 58:
McNasty just listens to his constitution, ie his bowels and how they are swinging each morning.
Some days they are rather loud, louder than McNasty and his colourful invective.
We wont go down the road of McC*nts inner voices, some thing are best left to the
nightmareimagination.McAncient/McTelegram/McSmokeSignals!
Cables? I think poor ole John was referring to telegrams.
That's how he get all his important news.
Stop.
Lord please stop!

Well, for Father's Day she did give him a nice gift. She became a republican. Yuck. What a screwed up family that one is!

I bet Johnny McTeleprompter constantly hears an echo from his hearing aids. Another reason why he's gone batshit crazy! I'd go crazy too if I constantly heard that humming noise in addition to having to bang on the teleprompter to get the picture to come in good. Tough being McTeleprompter!
I saw McSame pounding on a log and I thought he was practicing his drumming but when I asked him what tune he was playing he said he was calling home!
Let me put it this way McShame.." Hate the 24 hr. cable news and I hate the
radio talk shows, but I love the bloggers since they are the only ones and source
we can go to in order to ascertain the facts." Put that in your pipe, or up you ass,
and smoke it.
Dear John, watch out! We are coming at you through a series of tubes!
"If we got the cables, what do we need them thar tubes for? Gabby Hayes didn't have no blog and lookit how successful he turned out!"
A vote for McCain is a vote for friggin' Abe Simpson!
" We' have Talk radio.
HELLO.
Is McCain dissing 'Limbaugh' ??
OR
FOX TV , and all the Fox TV Buffoons
No names mentioned , but you know who they are.
