Power Line

Our friend Jim Hoft has been doing a great job at Gateway Pundit examining the case of the dirty trick played on John McCain this week. I asked Jim to summarize his findings for us. Here is his report: On Thursday John McCain held a town…

A 20-year-old Maywood woman rescued from an abandoned South Los Angeles building, where her ex-boyfriend physically and sexually abused her for sixteen days, police said. Porfirio Izaguirre, 35, is being held in the crime.

Los Angeles — A 20-year-old Maywood woman rescued from an abandoned South Los Angeles building, where her ex-boyfriend physically and sexually abused her for more than two weeks, was hospitalized today, police said.

Porfirio Izaguirre, 35, is being held in the crime, Maywood-Cudahy police Chief Frank Hauptmann said.

The woman, whose name was withheld, is expected to be alright.

A friend reported the woman missing April 16, telling police the ex-boyfriend might have something to do with it.

The woman somehow got a cellular telephone on Tuesday and called a friend, telling her that Izaguirre kidnapped her from her Maywood home and locked her in a 12-by-12 room at an unknown location, Hauptmann said.

The woman said she was being starved and thought she was in part of a banquet hall, Hauptmann said. She also described what she could see out of a window.

Around 7:30 p.m. Friday, police working with FBI agents narrowed the possible locations to one on East Slauson Avenue near Mettler Avenue, he said.

As police were about to enter the building, Izaguirre showed up and was arrested, he said.

The woman was found inside.

“The victim was found in a traumatic state due to the ordeal of being held captive for 16 days,” he said. “She was relieved to see that the police were successful in locating her in such a short period of time.”

The victim was taken to the hospital for a thorough examination, he said, adding that “it was apparent that she had been deprived of food and was sexually assaulted numerous times.”

“She’s (the victim) very traumatized by the whole event,” he said.

My friends, I will have an energy policy that we will be talking about, which will eliminate our dependence on oil from the Middle East that will prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East,” McCain said.

So the MSM has stuck on the “war for oil” idea and McCain says he was referencing the first Iraqi conflict over Kuwait.

But I WANT TO KNOW what on earth McCain means, that our only conflict with the Middle East would rest SOLELY on oil? Idiots deny the existing intrinsic threat to the West of Islamofascism! McCain, STFU.

Online news organizations fought for years to gain the kind of access accorded to journalists from traditional media outfits. The irresponsible behavior of Parrish and the dishonest “journalism” of Dinsmore not only discredit HuffPo as an institution…

Tourette’s?

No, he’s a Soros operative, who’s for Obama.

Cheese and sleaze

The harlot church rises around us

WWJD?

“We have a man whose temper can get the best of him,” Parrish said. “What I am worried about is his temper. Our country is in a serious crisis. This election is the most significant one since 1860. It appears America is asleep — so I stood up and asked the question.”

So the Democrats are purposefully trying to get McCain mad..

We saw this with a reporter on an airplane badgering him..

I expect more stuff like this, I know that McCain has refused Secret Service Protection but he either needs to get some Secret Service detail or get some private security, he could even get some from like Rudy’s Security Firm.

Ouch. That’s gonna leave a mark.

And I wonder when was the last time that person read comments at Kos or HuffPo. I want to purge my stomach every time I accidentally end up there, which is rare.

All thing’s considered though, there’s really no point in taking the high road with these people. Just upbraid them with a “Get lost dumbass” and move on to the next question.

I agree that there is good cause to have responded with a perfect quip, and that McCain was obviously caught off guard with such an out of the gutter question. Had Fred Thompson been there, we’d have heard “the right words” to use. I am disappointed that the audience, in their shock, were quietly awaiting the answer instead of booing the cultural retard. They played the same quiet game as drive by gogglers eyeing a highway accident without the courage to dial 911. Their applause for McCain was polite and uncomfortable. But this pimple imploded on itself, providing another example of liberalism’s ugly mannerisms being accepted as the social norm, protected by “free speech”. Conservatives had better take note and prepare the response that will nip the boogers in their own bud since this experience is merely a token of how things will come to your own life and family in the given liberal society that corners conservatives into captivity.

The conservative community must draw the line. It has been crossed. Then again, McCain is not a conservative. And he walked away from the confrontation, being the progressive that he is. So he wears his rose boutineer, but he’s not inviting conservatives to the platform. Keep those billfolds shut.

But if McCain had gone over there and stomped that guy’s guts out and then pulled the spine out from his pulpy remains, well, that would have been cool too.

Oh ya, McCain played it very well!

Ace of Spades figures McCain’s non-response as admission of guilt, though it had no bearing one way or another. I would not assert that “meaning”, though. THIS is the prime example of refusing to dignify such an assertion with a response. Personally and professionally, McCain responded correctly, spot on. McCain also proved his ability to NOT succumb to angry outburst when provocated by the lowest and meanest trigger. So McCain came out smelling like a rose in a very Presidential manner.

I’m glad you brought up Carol McCain. Where can I find her positive feedback for her unstable, cheating husband?

Try the internet, it is something you may know about. You have a stupid habit of being coy…it is not my job to fully educate you, unless you want to pay me.
This will help from Nicolas Christoff (not a friend of McCain)

So John and Carol McCain managed to remain friends, and she has backed him in all his campaigns.

”I’m crazy about John McCain and I love him to pieces,” Carol McCain said, ”but I’m just not going to do any interviews.”

Now this is where Valiant, if he were a person of honor, would say, you’re right, McCain is a man of honor towards women,I can find nothing otherwise.
But you won’t because you are who you are, a little mini muck raker.

All thing’s considered though, there’s really no point in taking the high road with these people. Just upbraid them with a “Get lost dumbass” and move on to the next question.

That’s why McCain can’t answer that question, regardless of how untrue it is. Because then the story becomes “John McCain Denies Calling Wife Obscene Name”, with the built-in implication that he did.

A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention, updated throughout the day…so check back often….

Carol McCain was married to Bill Clinton?! Who knew?
