QuoteRight-wing radio host rips Democrats, McCain apologizes for the spectacle

Posted by John Caniglia February 26, 2008 13:06PM

On the day the Democrats are set to slug it out in Cleveland, a conservative radio host fired some haymakers before an appearance by Republican presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain.

In the GOP stronghold of Cincinnati, right-wing radio host Bill Cunningham whipped up a crowd of more than 300 supporters by using Barack Obama's middle name often, ripping Hillary Clinton as a first lady and referring to former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright as an "ugly, old woman."

Some people cheered, while others sat shocked.

"At some point the media will stop taking sides and start covering Barack Hussein Obama the same way they cover Cheney and Bush," Cunningham roared. "(Obama) keeps talking about change, but when he's done, change is the only thing you'll have in your pocket."

Cunningham also said the media haven't covered the good that has happened in Iraq because it is pushing for a Democrat in the White House.

When McCain took the stage, he spoke for 26 minutes to more than 300 supporters at the century-old Memorial Hall, hardly mentioning his likely opponents.

Afterward, he walked up to a crowd of reporters and apologized for Cunningham's words. He said he respects Clinton and Obama and called them "honorable Americans."

McCain said he had no idea who brought Cunningham on stage, that he didn't invite Cunningham and had never met him. He said it will never happen again. He said he refuses to make disparaging remarks about his opponents.

"I take responsibility, and I apologize," he said.

Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters introduced Cunningham to the audience, calling him his friend and a man whose face was made for radio. Deters also ripped Obama, saying "the only thing that he ever risked was a filing fee for an election."

Former U.S. Rep. Rob Portman joined McCain in talking with reporters. He said Cunningham is controversial, and often says things that are controversial. Portman didn't say why Republicans allowed Cunningham on stage.

FACT: The most entertaining thing about this process so far is watching Hillary go down in flames.

Actually, it was watching Tancredo give a speech, and the reaction of Ron Paul fans as they realized they were being scammed by their messiah.  Hillary ranks third, which is still very pleasing, but there other entertaining moments, and may be many more to come (wait until the media creates a narrative about Obama based on his ties to the ex-Weatherman terrorist/his UnAmerican wife/his UnAmerican background and the fact he thinks he is the 12th Imam come again).

They're only going lightly now in order to let him finish winning.  Then the real fun starts.

And if he really had anything to do with drugs they will be bringing a bunch of 'anything for a buck' witnesses to thr forfront for their day in the sunlight.  Once middle assmerica decides he's a drug dealer it could be a much rougher road for him.  Maybe Hil will bring it up before going down in flames.

People who watch Fox are already convinced he was a crack dealer in the 80s, I am reliably informed.

As the new site, Taegan Goddard's Political Insider reports "...Several new polls out today give the Clinton campaign some reason for hope. In Ohio, three new polls give Clinton the lead — SurveyUSA, Public Policy Polling and Quinnipiac — of which two actually show Obama stalling. In Texas, two polls shows a statistical tie — Zogby and SurveyUSA — while a third, Public Policy Polling, gives Clinton the lead. Polls haven't seemed very reliable during this primary season, but today's numbers may change the narrative as we await Tuesday's results."

Because the end of this whole Democratic primary fiasco would be a really, really good thing, it will be only appropriate if Hillary wins both Ohio and Texas to ensure that it drags on for a few more months.  So my pessimism is predicting that Hillary will indeed win Texas and Ohio.

So's mine.  But I'm ok with it.  I think the Democratic Party deserves what it gets.

They have fucked the people over too many times for me to feel sorry for them if they can't make up their fucking minds.
