TPMtv: Sunday Show Roundup: Down n' Dirty

[tynertyner]

After the election this is fascinating. Talking points and talking heads collide again. These actors spit back the script with ease.

[ELowkey7]

The McCain camp and its supporters smoke crack, and sound like crackheads

[lastyearsheroes]

Talking point:

They are trying to change the subject; it's the economy, stupid.

[CuddlyPie1025]

it is so ugly of what sarah palin do, to personal attach Obama's character.

She is ugly.

[thereallurker]

The choice is obvious:

McCain will broaden the war and ignore the economy at our peril.

Obama will end the war and invest in America, giving us a renewable energy infrastructure and stop the oil wealth transfer to our enemies.

[DongFangShuo]

"Wow, right on, Heather Wilson! Death to all you dissenters!!"

And here we are wondering why certain countries look at us with disgust; it's amazing how she actually made it to the House of Rep...

[random0815]

mccain has killed more innocent civilians and damaged more state property than the whole weather underground

[Demotruk]

I'd say he crashed more planes than the 9/11 bombers, but that would be tasteless.

[crazyological]

Joe Liberman is not independent. He has been prostituting himself for McCain for months. It is a farce how he delivers the talking point. Commical...

[crazyological]

That republican woman is braindead and showing really sychopathic tendencies. Horrible... The republicans are acting so disgusting. Where is their integrity now?

[karldpeters]

McNasty/Poison: Nothing to offer, campaign imploding, all wrong on the economy and completely out of touch with what's going on with regular folks in this country.  This is all they got. Expect four more weeks of this nonsense and nastiness. They have to try somehow to distract from the fact that they have absolutely nothing to offer.

[mrbleedo]

TPM is pure communist driven crap...I think youtube should pull the channel...oh,wait...I don't have Herbert Sandler nor George Soros & the liberal brownshirts backing me...guess YOU keep to keep your freedom of speech...for now

[Jermbot15]

"guess YOU keep to keep your freedom of speech...for now"

I make only one request. Could you change your name to mrbleedoGOP, mrbleedoRepublican or mrbleedoConservative and then repeat this as many times as possible in as many different places. Thanks in advance.

[GretchenDawntreader]

mud and smears, which McCain himself earlier this year said was an unacceptable way to run a campaign.

[ILoveGoodFellas]

He is selling his soul, and integrity to try to win this thing. But he wont because, Obama is destroying him in every battleground state and in the polls - Matter of fact: Gallup Daily Got OBAMA @ 50% and McFull of Shit @ 42% for 4 straight days now !!! OOOOOHH, tonight is going to be good watching the debate

[thisisgraffiti]

Today it was 51% to 42%. :)

[micahgee]

=))

PWN'age

[youfave]

Joe Libermann is right, this is not over, it looks like the republicans want to give even more votes away to President Obama in november 2008, thank you, keep it coming.

[odannyboy000]

haha, nice

[arabjerk]

I got so happy that Mcain did not choose Tim Powlenty....SO HAPPY

[xlioilx]

When McCain gets into office he wants to start war with Russia there gearing up right now if hes elected he wants to attack Iran they will bomb Israel he wants to bomb North korea he hates gooks he also wants to take out Spain.

In John McCains head he wants WW3 so he can bring his Christ back before he dies in a month in office then Palin will use the nukes to cleanse the world like the bible says its all been planed by the christian right wing Nazi's to start their Armageddon and kill us all

[therealityimliving]

funny i want to see her saw when they going to brough mccain involvement with his past crimal friends,who's charge as criminal. gave 5senators money including mccain and also payed for mccain baramas vacation.how she's going explain that?

[MaxMackan]

I hope Liebermann is happy now when the republicans have corrupted his pal McCain into the old smear-machine they've always were, I hope he is happy with his chosen side. I can't help but to think Joe is trapped, he has to continue his support for McCain but deep inside he really thought McCain would be different and is not comfortable with the latest developments. That's what happends Joe. The republicans will stab you every time. Now pay the prize.

[nothankyoumam]

Sarah Palin pals around with secessionists in Alaska who hate America and our freedoms. McCain as recently as 1985 sat on the board of an organization of neo-nazis who hate America and our freedoms. Palin and her tempestuous sugar daddy from AZ are not fit to govern this country.

[cloud1232006]

haha funny how people still think republican/democrat have anything to do with anything... whoever's next in office will be dealing with the NAU... the us will be no more...

[pradeeptubeu]

These conservative Republicans are cretinous morons to the bone. All they will do as time goes by is show more and more of their moronic nature.

[SabuPtolemy]

The RepUGLYcunts are despicable, utterly predicatable lowlife shitheads.

Can't win on the issues so now it's 'let's swiftboat the nigger' time in GOP land. They did it in '04 to John Kerry, an authentic war hero - not a f'n worthless turd like McCain who got his ass shot because he defied orders! - and now it's Obama's turn.

Only this time it's not gonna work because enough people are finally seeing the cynical, demagoguing holier-than-thou GOP for what they are.

The McTitanic is going DOWN!

[sullyFL]

Donate money to Obama! Volunteer for Obama. Donate money to Obama! We can NOT let the corrupt Republicans run America any longer.

[SDgirl007]

GOD FUCK JOE LIEBERMAN!!

[empirical22]

What a desperation act from the right. Their last hope to come back in the polls is to attack Obama about petty things about his past. They can't win on actual talking points or debates anymore. How do these people sleep at night.

[legalass17]

Unbelieveable. Obama was 8 years old when Ayers was doing his dirty deeds. Oh lord. If these are the straws that Republican's are grasping at to try and win the election...then they mines well throw in the hat now. Talk about the economy folks. How fast do people forget about Charles Keating and McShames involvement with him and his cronies? Give me a break.

[zzbacardizz]

can obama really pick who endorses him? i'm sure the kkk endorses mccain.

[mikestky1]

I had no idea Heather Wilson was such a pandering moron. I always thought she was a 'moderate' Republican.

I'll be glad when she is no longer in Congress. New Mexico deserves better than that, as does America.

[ghezaet]

And the terrorist that they are talkin about is some white guy who was plannin to bomb the white house, when obama was 8 years old...now the guy is a productive citizin workin as a collage professor and met Obama at a chearity event. now i wander how many bad guys have i met in my life, and think if that would make me a bad guy too... Obama is the only the good thing that happend to American people in 2008, if you dont want him send him over to us, canada! psyco Americans dont deserve him!

[PVTSolis]

G. Gordon Libby.

[knixphan]

They underestimate US! I registered 10 people to vote last week.

Obama + the middle class = victory!

[atlantacurtis]

who's this crazy right wing wacko from New Mexico??...are these people so out of touch???

[cedarhurst1]

PERSONAL ATTACK AND SMEAR FRIST. HONESTY SECOND. COUNTRY THIRD.

I am John McCain and i approved this message

[thinkresultz]

"The McCain campaign received some not so good news today. The study released this morning that showed one in four mammals are in danger of becoming extinct included the McCain-Palin ticket."

[GradStud28]

Don't people realize that "liberal" and "socialist" are *good* things?

[knixphan]

exactly.

[PersonalJesus348]

right? I like like idea not having to worry about food, living, and other necessities. Doesn't mean I won't work but some work won't get you all that.

[dennisthapa]

these attacks make me like obama even more...

[Ender1zero1]

Obama in 8 point lead over Mccain and once again palin shows she is unable to show compassion.

Senator Biden I'm sure I speak for many people when I write we are so sorry for your and your family's loss. I hope you are able to take the time you need to spend with your family.

[colin72]

Read the new Rolling Stone article about McCain (Google it). It tells you everything you need to know about McCain's character.

McCain and Palin are pathetic.

[jay2thaudy]

This is truly pathetic.

[latentsun]

Who cares about Ayers?

Ayers is just sittin' pretty... lol

McCain is so scared of Ayers but isn't calling for any type of investigation.

What the hell?

[brawnymike]

I find it curious that this "unrepentent" Wm. Ayers surrendered to the authorities in 1980! Does someone who is unrepentent usually turn themselves in? An unrepentent person would "go on the lam" and continue their malevolent acts, would they not?

[mastercko]

I'm really hoping that this nonsense digs them even deeper into the hole the find themselves in. I personally think that this new tactic is completely counterproductive for them and will contribute even further to the Dem sweep in less than a month. Get your brooms ready guys.

[mamazma]

how about John McCain and Jerry Falwell??

when they try and point fingers they don't realize how many are pointing right back at em

[mastercko]

JEEBUS. This is absolutely dispicable.

One choice part:

Rep. Heather Wilson: "He's been critical of America's president and its [failed, btw] policies. That's unpatroitic."

No you fucking twit, that's the very core of patriotism. Challenging your country to be better than it is. Working to make your country better than it is.

[Salladsdressing]

If it isn't lipstick on a pig it's Obama being a Muslim or him being tied to terrorists.

What about the REAL issues!?

By the way, the Bush family had financial ties to the Bin Laden family but nobody seemed to have a problem with that?

STOP THE BULLSHIT! AND THAT GOES FOR BOTH SIDES!

[Trybrow]

Oh Nancy Pfotenhauer, your such a beautiful evil bitch.

[ver506]

Does anybody notice that William Ayers is NOT in prison?? If he is such a terrosist, helloooo.....?!! I can't wait for November 5, this BS will finally be over!!!

[lookslikepat]

Come on Barack! Go get 'em!!

[RecessMonkeys]

I wonder if, no matter how many showers they take, these Republicans ever feel clean.

[GimutheGreat]

LOL he was at one charity with the guy like 40 years ago. What the hell is that. Who hasnt been critical of the president he is a dumb ass.

[Scoppertop]

Tell me, Heather(s), if McCain had the popularity to have drawn a 200,000 crowd ANYWHERE else in the world, which he doesn't, wouldn't you be talking about how wonderful it was that the rest of the world supports your candidate, which they don't?

[saminmit]

so being critical of american policy NO MATTER WHAT IT IS makes you unpatriotic?! fascist much?

[jay2thaudy]

Yeah you didn't know...America is never wrong (sarcasm).

[sibbald]

not when youre wearing that lime green wallpaper missus

[anubisx00]

Wow, Republicans are acting like 4 year olds.

[bernlin2000]

William Ayers? Really? I do respect McCain for not dredging Obama pastor again, but this association is about as weak as they get.

[RZetlin]

So McCain wants to bring up guilt by association.

Let's bring up Keating 5 shall we?

[666killerninja]

only looking at the McCain supporters in this video makes me sick with their lifted (10,000 dollar) faces, fancy clothing, bullshit talk!

[EvanLarimore]

REPS ARE TRYING SO HARD!

[BurningLexicon]

Palin is a hypocrite: she's been proven to be somewhat involved in that succession group and yet she thinks she has the right to discuss Obama's patriotism?

[Scott3843]

Heather Wilson needs to realize that she needs to come out of the closet once and for all. My Gaydar goes off the charts when she speaks. Aside from that (because who really cares?) she should be ashamed of herself. Hey, shouldn't she be indicted soon for forcing the firing of Iglesias? (That was her and Domenici, right?)

Joe Lieberman. What a tool. Shame on you, Joey.

[REDGHOST8888]

they are pulling out the last of their guns there like the nazis in the last days of world war 2 very low on bullets and small amount of water no more gas.

[lamouchemorte]

America is a continent not a country. Stupid lip-sticked pig.

[Scott3843]

Wait. What??

[tim9798]

lol wut? its 2 continents, or the entire western hemisphere.

[huskercane]

What about Charles Keating, or to keep it current, Phil Gramm. The congressional champion of Credit Default Swaps, which sold phony non-regulated security "insurance" on all these risky mortgages. Ayers activities were back when Obama was 8 yrs old, and if he was such a "terrorist" why is he still free and teaching in Higher Education?

I'm just waiting for the "N" word to drop a couple times and a few more "uppity" blasts to hit. They are throwing up Hail Mary's now.

[huskercane]

Doesn't Joe Lieberman sound like Droopy Dog?

[Jzer08]

Obama '08!!!

[donk1ng]

republicans are on their last straw

[nadreev]

Who was pals with Charles Keating?

[cujothekitten]

and in other news, the dow dropped over 750 points. :-/

[cryptodud]

McCain is in trouble so out come more and more lies.

[modernkicks]

so they're trying to say that Obama launched his career with Ayers. Really? you think he would get elected anything because he was backed by a building bombing radicalist. They're defeating their own point.

Ayers is a used to be radical from the late 60's and is now a 63 year old distinguished professor at the university of Illinois.

I've never spent so much time back checking everything that's said in a campaign because its all overblown total BS. They really openly admitted to smear campaign

[EntropyGuardian]

"America has never done anything wrong. Every decision and action committed by America has been right. Every policy is correct and people who protest against the government should get out. Also, liberals aren't really Americans because they are always wrong." - GOP

[PAYNE227]

Read Obamas book and you will see what a racist Obama is and that he wishes his mother was not white. I am sure he has said a few amens to God Damn America at Rev. Wrights Church(20yrs a member) . You want hear this from the media. His ties to Ayers. Amazing they are talking about it here. Appualing.

[scbluesman13]

Payne, you're comment shows a grave lack of understanding in both Obama's book and his ties to Ayers (if any). His book is about growing up mixed race, and dealing with the identity issues that stem from that. It's not about hating one race or another, it's about finding one's place in the world.

[NOWTHATSFIRE815]

How is he a racist when he is both African American and White and he was rasied by is white side?Get ya head out the media.

[iamtheboha]

Unleash the zombie lemming hoardes.

[ThisguyQuake]

I can't wait to find out if Sarah was Palling around with her Husbands ummm pals.

[SkinsDeep]

Yep, there's some sound reasoning. We'll just turn the page on the unimportant issues like economic survival, and concentrate on the good stuff like slogans and slander!

We need to concentrate on this country not baloney... I would suggest a third party vote.

[patryklau]

my god. what a crock of bullshit that Heather Wilson just spewed out of her mouth. critical of the GOVERNMENT? OF POLICIES? isn't it a fundamental right of an American citizen like Obama, to have his own views on how his country is run? The Republicans are just throwing low blows because they're slowly losing the fight.

[AstoundedAtheist]

Someone is getting desperate!

[brownie8519]

there is no other way to say this..fuck Palin!

[vertigate]

Gallup polling Oct3-5 has 50-42 national lead for Obama. I believe that coincides with and shows the effect of their outdated and pathetic smears: NONE! This thing is rolling now and McCain can't stop it. Obama'08

Btw I like Heather Wilson's twist about criticizing Bush and American policies as being unpatriotic. Breaking news: Bush has the lowest approval ratings in history (23%). I guess a seizable number of Americans are unpatriotic by Wilson's standards. These talking heads crack me up.

[vertigate]

Oh and Pfotenhauer: she looks friggin sick. Like her glue is going to come off any time.

[vertigate]

zombie glue.

[alteredlame666]

I will say it right now, you can rate me down, I don't fucking care. I hope and pray to Jesus that some force, some sort of lightning, heat-seeker, some object of some sort, old age, diabetes, anything, really, will strike McCain down shall he win an election like this. He's no good.

Neither is that bitch Leiberman.

[iamtheboha]

Please don't say something like that if you're not going to include Palin.

[alteredlame666]

That's true. That would really be the end of all things. In my haste, I definitely meant to include Sarah Palin.

[Mel1334]

McCain is seriously going to lose and he knows it. That's why he just doesn't care anymore. I actually feel sorry for him. Poor guy.

[krammitAll]

stephanopolous has no credibility anymore. Why is he still on tv?

[jkdsifu]

Let the American people prove we don't care about this nonsense by voting for Obama in November! Obviously McCain so desperate that he's willing to throw the dice again on this Ayers gambit. Duh, Ayers is a professor at the U. of Chicago now, not a convicted felon. This is the best they can do? Obama has already won. Americans are so sick of this crap.

[josejloayza]

El Gobierno Norteamericano MIENTE, ellos dieron 700 BILLONES DE DOLARES a los Bancos Hipotecarios para ocultar la verdad de sus préstamos ILEGALES con COIMAS, y luego dicen que 10.000 dólares le costará a cada familia estadounidense. De donde sacará tanto dinero el mismo pueblo que no tuvo como pagar sus préstamos hipotecarios. Estos Bancos no volverán a prestar a nadie peor a los norteamericanos. Solo tomarán el dinero y saldrán corriendo. RAZONEN. No hay banqueros castigados.

[blaxican2000]

wow, more scare tactics = more bush nation

[coke2264]

WHAT? Ridiculous...is "America" going to fall this this Rovian nonsense again. Did anyone see the Couric interview? What else do you need? Palin has no plan, has no intelligence of her own and McCain picked her. He has the same judgement he had when he got involved with Keating.

[Waranle]

drukenhard Ironic right. Obama is not Kerry, he will fight back and he will fire back very hard. Republican have nothing else to say to american people other than smear tactics

[drukenhard]

It's refreshing to hear republicans trying to say that Obama associates with terrorists when we all know for a fact that the bush family has business dealings with the Bin Laden family and the Saudis (where most of the 9/11 terrorists came from).

Is the pot trying to call the kettle black?

How about discussing policies?

They probably don't want to since they will be continuing the ones that caused the economic failure and illegal war in Iraq and worse.

Republicans fail on the real issues!

[volumedealer1]

This is bullshit talk.

We are a exceptional country when we get rid of all these corrupt corporately owned puppet politicians and greedy bankers.

Down with the Privately owned federal reserve!!

We need real change and not as a one word campaign slogan

[terpis]

septic-tank politics--

The sad thing is that this'll resonate with lots of blue-collar, 'low-informaton' voters.

i agree with george Carlin (elsewhere on YT) that the pols (vouchers, anyone?) don't want good education in this country...really well-schooled people might wake up to how bad they're being F'd.

[Madmoe77]

This is absolutely ridiculous! I once toured a prison when studying to be a Military Police Officer; I guess that would associate me with criminals. how desperate do you have to get to not only ruin your own credibility to win but everyone elses to.

[valgehiir]

such an unpleasant bunch of people

[plankp]

This is pathetic. Republicans are looking for any and all ways to turn the people's attention from the economic crisis so they can pull some crap about association.

[toddspire]

What if Reagan never spoke to Gorbachev?

[DE19713]

Just follow the money with this talking head. Corruption and lies, Try to change the subject since he cant compete on the economy.

[prophet1023]

Shameless rhetoric.
