Apparently, the father felt differently, so Obama was wrong to refer to it. But I could overlook that, since it could be an innocent mistake.

On the other hand, this “making stuff up” claim by the Obama campaign is nothing but a lie. Gibbs tries to have it both ways, claiming she didn’t want her son’s death politicized, but it’s “making stuff up” to say that she didn’t want Obama to mention her son during a very political debate. Which, of course, is politicizing her son’s death.

It wasn’t just spin, it was bold, slimy, audacious spin that insults the hearer’s intelligence. No one should have let him get away with it.

Kilmeade was

McCain was wrong. Hussein was wrong.

I think the difference is that when the mother gave her son’s bracelet to John McCain, she asked him to do everything he could to make sure her son didn’t die in vain.

I believe and it seems that others do as well, that it is important to elect John McCain in order to finish the job in Iraq and not come home too soon.

So, I don’t see what John did as crass politicization, but an attempt to impress upon the audience how seriously John feels about this conflict and the young men and women who have died. He could have been one of those lost in war, but he survived and he knows the ramifications of leaving too soon.

Sen. Obama on the other hand used the young man’s bracelet as a cheap political one-up-man-ship and didn’t even know the name on the bracelet.

That’s the difference.

The Obama people are so arrogant.

The Jedi mind trick………FAIL!!!!

So, what does Obama do, he politicizes it.

She (the mom) wanted Obama to remember her son, so what does Obama do…I got a bracelet here to, John, it’s hmmmm….haw…from…the mother of

Doesn’t sound like he remembered it.

What’s that pin on the guy’s lapel? It looks like the one Obama had on at the debate, but I couldn’t make it out clearly in either case. It doesn’t appear to be the flag of the USA, though it seems to incorporate the US flag as the left half. I see a round blob or circular marking in the right half on a ligher background. Rising Sun? UN globe? Hammer and Sickle?

Can anyone forget when Brian Kilmeade took on the lefty loon Janeane Garofalo?

LMFAO! Should I be worried? Naaaaa. Though I do wonder why you thought about me

lol

No….no creepiness intended! “Upinak” is literally the only person I know ‘up there’, and I just wondered whether the whole freaky vampire scenario struck a chord with you s’all!

Does it really go totally nighttime dark up there for 30 days? I thought it just went like a dark twilight….

The point that I see is that now we know the father certainly does not want his son’s name used or the bracelet worn, I think Obama should take it off. I’m sure he can find parents of a fallen soldier that both agree that Obama should wear it.

Imagine this for yourself. Imagine that your ex-wife gave Obama this bracelet with your son’s name on it. It was wrong of her to do such a thing without her ex-husband’s permission. Just wrong. This was his father. She knew he disagreed with Obama.

Now it’s embarrassing for everyone and I just feel sorry for the family.

let’s invite on the loser from Everybody Loves Raymond.

For those of us here in reality, I think that “Raymond” went off the air two or three years ago. Not sure for those in Liberaland. What else do you watch there?

Gibbs is such a self rightious jerk, he came on with the attack Fox News mind set and looked like a toold for doing so. Brian atleast called him out, you need guys on these news shows who aren’t gonna let the campaigns spin lies, other stations take the few McCain people to task for everything, Fox News needs to start pointing out when these people come on and straight lie.

This woman asked Barack not to use her sons name because she thought it disrepected families who believed in the war, a noble way to say “My Son believed in this war even though I didn’t” Barack in turn disrespected her wishes and all the families she mentioned. Too bad in the last 6 months she too has downed a little too much Obam-aid and is now spinning her own thoughts.

Just saw “30 Days of Night” yesterday and thought of you….even though I have no idea who you are! :)

LMFAO! Should I be worried? Naaaaa. Though I do wonder why you thought about me HA! I live in Anchorage, about 1200 miles south of the fake (did you see breath at -40?) and yet mildly rejectable Barrow area.

Unfortunately there are still blood sucking rejects far and wide… even in Barrow.
