I will vote for McCain if Hillary can't become the nominee of Dem. My friends and I will never vote for Obama. I think Hillary always puts Amrica's interests first.

Is Hillary going to reject Willie's support? Maybe denounce…

Maybe Cunningham will vote for Obama now, just like everyone else is doing.

Will still vote for Mr. Cool Obamarama, but gotta respect McCain for rejecting this. Cunningham made a fool of himself. Now, only if McCain could convince Ann Coulter, Rush, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly et al to announce their support for Hillary, he (McCain) would probably win a few more votes.

it is interesting that this guy repeatedly used the senator's middle name, trying to make a connection with the former Iraqi dictator. As if the american people are that stupid……….oh wait bush was re-elected and 19 guys with box cutters outsmarted the CIA. MAYBE WE ARE!

I thought that people like Cunningham were scary enough. But then I ready Sandy's remarks above.

Is this indicative of the general level of intelligence to be found in the American public? We shouldn't elect someone because of their middle name? Are you kidding me??

And what's with all these so called Democrats who say they will vote McCain out of spite if their candidate loses the nomination?

You would rather have a continuation of the failed policies of Bush for another 4-8 years? We can't afford that.

Come on folks. Time for this country to grow up and start thinking like adults and not reacting emotionally like children.

Did anyone notice that the CNN reporter apparently had never heard the phrase "threw me under a bus" — or was it the editor who felt the need to add, erroneously, I would guess, that it was a reference to "McCain's CAMPAIGN bus" ??

I understand John McCain is a war hero but with all due respect he was involved in the two most unpopular wars in the history of the United States, Vietnam and now Iraq. Now is time to move on,its a new begging go Obama.

Cunningham just did the right thing. He said the truth. We need to know more details about Obama. Why we can't say some people's middle name? What's wrong in our country? Cunningham is my hero right now.

I guess I need to come out from under this Oklahoma rock more often - Who is Bill Cunningham? Am I to suppose to care?

I still don't understand why no one can mention Barack Hussein Obama's middle name? His parents proudly gave him the name, why is he running from it.

Who care is Cunningham is upset? He was way out of line. People get fired from jobs for talking like that now, and the racist name-calling he did has no place anywhere today. I'm appreciative that McCain apologized for him so quickly–much better than Clinton ever did. She always let her stuf fester for a day or so and make an impact. For shame on anyone who criticizes McCain for acting appropriately and trying to make this right. Let's have a civilized campaign for once.

GOBAMA!

All these liberal whites and proud blacks are so desperate to have a black president the they're blind to the obvious fact that Obama is not qualified to be president. Give me a break, two years in the Senate! Talk about a thin resume and the biggest affirmative action hire in our history. Let's all feel good about ourselves and get inspired by some recycled Deval Patrick speeches. This Obama is so full of hot air and I am just amazed at how many naive people are buying it up… it like beanie babies… a craze one day, can't sell it in a garage sale the next.

Who is to say that it wasn't planned by McCain so he could look good apologizing. Politicians they will do anything to get voted in. Dem and Rep alike

Hey Bayou Joe,

Remember that there is a large Muslim population in this country. "Exposing" someone's middle name that sounds Muslim is racist. The people we are at war with are not senators with the middle name "Hussein." If you want to play that game, I'll just call you ignorant because youre from the bayou.

King Hussein is also the leader of Jordan, one of our key allies in the Middle East. Hussein is to the Middle East as Smith is to America. It's just a common name.

It's Conservatives that went after Hillary Clinton like she was the anti-Christ and now they may get something even worse, Barack Hussein Obama, a left-wing liberal too far left for many Democrats. It's too late for choices now since many Republicans and Independents came into the Democratic primiaries and gave Obama the edge. That's real fair… People other than Democrats deciding the Democratic nominee. Now the Republicans have to choose between John McCain and Barack Hussein Obama. You don't have Hillary to kick around anymore. Hillary Rodham Clinton 2012!

Interesting he is choosing Clinton to support. This must be due to her similiarity to Republicans in economics and war hawk.

sometimes media can get on nerves. Diana died bc paparazzi. Media thinks they can influence, manipulate everybody. But this is not right, it is wrong. We can see it in Hillary's case, she is so much put down, scrutinized, badmouthed, that some switch to …. ( the ones without back bone).

Someone should have thrown this nut job off the stage.

It's time for Hillary to "reject" Cunningham. Sound familiar?

The further McCain moves and distances himself from the far-right and therefore stays true to his core beliefs, the more electable he will become in the general election.

Is that the best he can do? That Obama's middle name is the same as the DEAD Saddam? Okay well then McCains first name is the John and since that was also John Hinckley Jr's first name that means McCain is also crazy right? Jodie Foster better start hiding.

Ken in Dallas:
Incidentally, how do Christians get "conservative"? Wasn't Christian charity the ethical underpinning of liberalism?

Actually, that "ethical underpinning" was fascism, back before it got ugly in the 1930's…

My message is how do yal know whos going to win before all the results come in? I think TV is pushing for Obama to much talking good things about him and negative about Clinton. Im a liberal democrate if he gets the nominaion I will not vote in November. So put Clinton on the pedistal for a change. I really think there is a lot of people share my views, If Obama is the nominee Mc Cain will probably win as the winner.

Why does the media now demand an apology for using Osama's given name (three times)?

Hey, at least Sen. McCain had the balls to denounce, reject, repudiate Cunningham's comments RIGHT AWAY! The same can not be said about Saint, oops, I mean Sen., Obama.

Americans are rejecting the politics of the hate-spewing, fear-mongering extremist right wing in our country. Outbursts like these further galvanize the majority's opposition to their byzantine tactics.

I feel for McCain… he has to cater to these groups' whims but can't accept their support. The republican party is truly in tatters.

These republicans are trying to run a politics of fear. But America is smarter this time around. The republicans are the ones destroying America.

Yes we can 08.

McCain knew this guy would start a fire and allowed it.

Why is this jerk even getting any attention? Don't we have better things to focus on?

Cunningham got exactly what he deserved. For a guy who likes to dish out out, he certainly can't take it when the love is reciprocated. Grow a pair, buddy. No one wants to deal with your hatemongering. Your fifteen minutes are up!

McCain knew what Cunningham said and shame on him for not calling the jerk out in front of the crowd. Instead, he waited to talk to his people to see what they think is the best action to take for the public. Just like Bush - who let Rove,Rush and FOX run the smear campaign against McCain while he denied having anything to do with it. It's called Republican tactics and it's just as disgusting coming from McCain's campaign as it was coming from Bush's against McCain. McCain should know better and DO better.

In case you didn't know.

Do you think Barack's mom would had some vast conspiracy to name her son after a dictator, such as Suddam Hussein? Barack did not name himself–he was named by his parents.

Someone said it's like schoolyard bullying to shout his middle name. It's so ridiculous. There are a lot of people named George, but we won't hold that against them because of our dictator president.

Think America, we are going off the deep end.

If McCain didn't know what type of rhetoric to expect to come out of Cunningham's mouth he isn't as intelligent as I want a potential president to be. But if he did know what to expect, he used it to his political advantage. He got out a message. And then apoloigized for it having been stated with the public praising him for doing the "right" thing.

How ironic is this?! As much as I think what he said is detestable and as a black educated male, nor do I agree with Farrakhan's views, does this lead credence to Obama essentially saying you cannot pick and choose who supports you, nor can you silence their right to free speech? Sensing a double standard here. Just a thought. I'm not an "Obamabot" and actually straddle the fence as an independent.

Sandy,

Are you serious? Your argument concerning Barack's middle name are about as lame as Mr. Cunningham's tirade yesterday. And no, America has not forgotten about Sep 11. Have you heard of heritage? Jeez

Although, I am not a Republican, I appreciated Senator McCain's remarks yesterday. It shows that we can possibly have a presidential race that focuses on the issues and less with personal jabs regarding someone's extramarital issues, fashion when they visit foreign countries, and speeches that don't credit the author.

Shannon

So McCain threw Bill Cunningham under the bus. At least now Cunningham is better off there than he was before … in the gutter with the rest of the traitorous anti-McCain "conservative radio and television talk hosts."

Conservatives are terrified that McCain will win the primary and take the White House without their help. Then the decent majority of the GOP will realize that they don't need conservatives and their poison to win.

Hopefully, the unemplyment propanganda will not be used to block people at texas work places. With that problem of computers everything can be expected such as hacks, manipulation of personal information and etc. It is just weird that some people apply for jobs and they don't get a phone call right away within three weeks of applying for a job. Also some emails are send along with online applications and then some people never get a replied online or by phone. Hopefully everything is okay for the people. Hopefully computer systems will not be a major factor with all that media manipulation of national polls as well as to electrnic voting nowdays. Everything can be expected from electronic voting!! All people would agree that they would like to vote the old traditional way paper ballot and pencil. What do you all voters think??

Did Hillary Denounce or Reject him yet? How about Ann Coultier? Right.

Everyone saying he shouldn't be ashamed of his middle name have lost the plot. It's not about being ashamed of anything. It's the context in which it's presented or the picture earlier in the week was presented. It's put out there to play into people's fears. It's just bush league and offensive. No one refers to him by his middle name, so what's the motivation for doing it here? Aren't we all sick of this kind of stuff?

His use of the word "prophet" and consistent mention of Obama's middle name is clearly expressing contempt toward Obama and was an attempt to ridicule him in front of the predominant Christian society of USA. I'm glad the Republicans are smart enough to understand the true nature of Cunningham's speech regardless of his justification or intention.

For Sandy and whomever else who likes to play the name game. If you are judging the man because his middle name reminds you of Saddam? Then you are as ignorant and shallow minded as Cunningham! Grow up! That is beyond the poorest excuse I've ever heard. You should be ashamed for thinking that let alone putting it in print. Jeez!

The people are ignorant and always have been. The press decides who is going to win. Business has always wanted a Republican in there - in order to get the democrat votes they have to steal either Clinton or Obama voters. They know that Clinton voters, being older and more moderate would be easier to go for McCain. The press continues to kill Clinton's campaign so that Obama is the candidate - then McCain wins - order has been restored and meanwhile all you Obama supporters go home scratching your heads wondering what the hell happened.

I voted for Clinton as she was the only one who could have beaten McCain and they knew it - that's why all the support for Obama so that he would lose.
As long as McCain doesn't pick Huckabee then he will probably be president if Clinton doesn't win the nomination.

This incident is just a clear indication of where so-called neo-cons are coming from. It points up that if you can't win on issues, you have to resort to such infantile tactics such as dirtbag (Cunningham).

It's too bad that his IQ is a negative number.

Congratulations to Sen McCain in taking issue with Bill Cunningham's vicious, raciest and inappropriate remarks; although Mr. Cunningham is not worth anyone's time.

It's ironic, that people tend to overlook the fact that Hillary praises Obama then slams him.

let the games begain i just love politics you find out all the good stuff hillary for president oklahoma is with you.

Most of the comments I have read are from people who do not know mr. Cunningham, other than the loud manner in which he spoke, all he really did was use Obama's real middle name. While Mr Cunningham has a unique way of getting his point accross, he is also a very polished attorney and is intelliget enough to not say anything that isn't fact. Mr Mccain wold have been much better off to say nothing of the comments, and would have looked better to both parties.

good one Cunningham, im rooting for you or Hil, keep exposing these losers

Cunningham will be like any other conservative when the time comes to praise McCain, when the time comes to say "I was there behind McCain", and when the time comes to take credit for all the good things that McCain will possibly have accomplished. He, like most other conservatives I hear bad mouthing their canidate, will try to take credit when all they did was almost literally tear their party down.

Despite having a radio spot nation wide, Cunningham still felt the need to scream to get his 15minutes of fame and then whine when what he said wasn't praised.

Never heard of Cunningham before and I hope to never hear from him again.

McCain has my full support as a Purple Heart wearing Viet Nam veteran.

IF I was a democrat and had to vote I would mark "none of the above"!

I really must be idealistic. For people to vote based of Ideas (Obama is specific he has a whole book out about each thing and how he'll do it, just need to read it and not accuse him) then actual race. Even some people going as far as saying Hussein like it shows what the tru person is. My Middle name is Brian what does that show of me? Does that make the person i am? You know how much easier it could have been for Obama just to change his name to better fit the scared americans. Basing a decision off a middle name or color or even gender is the worse thing you can do for the country. Voting for McCain over Obama because Hillary lost is doing the exact opposite of what you really want so there must be something else behind it.

I'm A white, Veteran American. I did not fight for this country so it could say that Middle names, gender, and race means the quality of the person. Grow up.

Someone said that Obama would have to give money to his tribe in Africa…What a racist argument. He was born american raised american and is fighting for america…..Grow up america, or it will leave you behind

Obama (AKA "Speeches") will not last one debate with MCcain. Hillary will not be there Speeches to agree with. Speeches will have to give a speech or fumble all over himself as he did in last night's debate.

John Mcain is taking the right tack. The US got where it is today by working together. What hurts the US is partasianship. IF the Democrates and Republician go for the Win/Win instead of the Win/Lose scenario then more would get accomplished. Reaching across the aisle is what is needed, particularly at this time in US history. The ultra conservatives do not speak for the majority, they just speak louder and more often. I am a Republican, but the ultra conservatives do not speak for me.

John McCain again shows why he is so respected by all Americans, Republicans and Democrats alike.

Cunningham should have known better.

It is one thing to demonstrate contrasts and voice disagreements. It is quite another thing to introduce "shock jock" tactics in a forum where the international press is in attendance.

If he can't take McCains denouncement–he hopefully will listen to mine.

Grow up and act like an adult.

I'm so proud to call myself a "LIBERAL"

CNN PLEASE SHOW MY COMMENT.

Well McCain isn't going to commit political suicide.
With Obama running (for the most part) a clean campaign, McCain can't win through slander and he knows that

McCain SHOULD have thrown this moron under the bus, then backed up over him twice. But one thing the senator did that is not accepted by far right conservatives is that he apologized. You would NEVER find the likes of Rush, Billy, Ann, or Sean say "I'm sorry" for ANYTHING that they say or do and they can be wrong as two left shoes. These people are so mean-spirited and spiteful that I can't see how they can live with themselves. Sorry John but I don't thnik they ever will accept you because you have a HEART and they don't!

Regarding Cunningham's rantings, it is a true indication of what the Republicans truly feel about Barack Hussein Obama whether it is overt or covert.

There is a spiritual truism; The trust shall set you free!

BYE BYE OBAMA

Cunningham is a loose cannon ball, capable of sptitting unadulterated garbage and if McCain was really unaware it means that John has lived on planet Mars for the last decade or so!!!!!!!!!!!!

I may not agree with John McCain's politics but I do think he is the real deal. I think it was very impressive that John McCain denounces the negative ethnically motivated remarks of Cunningham while practically at the same time Hillary's camp is sending out the picture of Obama in Kenyan garb. It just shows that this race should be between McCain and Obama, two serious candidates who want to win on issues ,not all this other garbage. The Hillary camp doesn't seem to get that it is not winning, if to get it you have to do it dirty!!

There is one thing for sure! Cunningham showed his ignorance, and then some!!! But then, he's a Republican!!! DON'T go figure!

Kathryn Irby
Metairie, LA

hillary supporters are so desperate to accept the endoursment of these idiots like Cunningham.

Cunningham is a racist, xenophobic, sexist wacko…..what a disgrace and a loser……

McCain should have thrown that idiot under a real bus. It just shows how certain segments in our society are desperately trying to hold on to the "politics of division". Cunningham's actions were nasty and mean spirited. But I don't see any difference in what he said versus the picture that surfaced about Obama over the weekend. The intent of both actions is really issue. Both actions were intended to play on the American people fears on ethnicity and race. Both tactics should be reputiated and dismissed as simple "ignorance".

Sandy:

are you suggesting that Obama is a terrorist dictator trying to take over this country?!?!

how utterly silly you sound. Can we now please get back to this election?

the ignorance and hate, and utter ridiculous nonsence that people write on this blog should be denounced and rejected!!!!

I have to say - that with the recent criticisms of Senator McCain - his immediate denouncment of Cunningham's remarks - showed an integrity that is admirable.

Sandy: what a sad comment. You don't think we should vote for Obama because his middle name reminds you of Iraq? I hope you're kidding.

Hillary reminds me more of Iraq, because she voted to authorize it. Thousands of innocent lives and nearly ONE TRILLION DOLLARS later, she wishes she could "have the vote back"

Talk about a deluded idiot "Richard Michael" and his comments to BayouJoe are so sad that there are just so many stupid people in this country, this jerk is another example of millions of Americans who are duped by BHO. Like it or not his name is Hussein and I hope we still have a country left after four years of his type of leadership, the only enjoyment until '12 will be telling these dumbocrats is "we told you so".

Now that Cunnighan has decided to support Hillary, can Billary denounce/reject him for his kind of racial, bigotry and hateful comments?

I know at least McCain did!

Sandy February 27th, 2008 11:44 am ET

Hillary, my vote is with you and I am backing you 100%.

Sandy,

Have you forgotten the name of the person that caused the war in Iraq? His name is Bush.

Call me crazy but if I were campaigning for President of the United States you can BANK ON IT that I would know everything about any person who was going to announce me at a rally for votes!
Just another cheap shot to be able to be the "Good Guy" and get free press!

The important question is how will conservatives respond to McCain "throwing Cunningham under the bus". Many Independents and conservative Democrats like McCain's repudiation of Cunningham, but will conservatives, especially radio talk-show hosts, see this as another reason to not vote for McCain.

John McCain, FYI, you have more conservative bigots you can throw under the bus -
Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Hugh Hewitt and Lars Larson.

Hey Di, any so called person that enjoys that type of extreme behavior and utter disregard for human respect is not the type of moral fiber any candidate would want representing them. Good for you, McCain.

Not only did McCain throw him under the bus, McCain rode off into the sunset leaving the skid mark (Cunningham) as the trash along side of the road. And what a great place for him to be with the OLD way of doing things.

i wish al gore would run.
better yet Lou Dobbs.

let's just get a separate party started.

call it the REAL party.
Lou Dobbs for President!

Cunningham, McCain and the rest of ALL the politicians need stick to the issues.

We need a government of people who are willing and able to work together for the country.

Aren't we all sick of this back and forth banter and attacks? It gets us nowhere …

Obama 08

Someone's picking on Oblahma again. Boo Hoo.

I don't call what Cunningham is spewing "straight talk". It's bigoted hate speech at best and SHOULD be repudiated by all, including McCain.

Thank you Bill for doing what the media will not. And that is making this a fair contest by showing the true side of Obama (AKA "Speeches").

Fantastic job!

So what's new?

Right wing radio hate mongers are still doing their thing and Sen. McKain continues to occasionaly take the high road.

Cunningham has no dignity, and the demagoguery in which he indulges would rob McCain's campaign of credibility. McCain had no choice but to repudiate Cunningham.

Incidentally, how do Christians get "conservative"? Wasn't Christian charity the ethical underpinning of liberalism?

Any point he may have is lost by the fact that he is yelling the entire time.

I don't see the big deal. If the guy is ashamed of his middle name, then change it.

Let denounce and reject the comments made by Cunningham. I am sure jesus will denounce and reject him on the time judgement.
The sad part in all of this is people like this guy try to score cheap politics using the faith of christianity very sad indeed.

If he is a consevative and I think he is thank god I am a Liberal !!!!!!

Hey Ron you said:
"Of course McCain rejected the comments to reports when no one else was around. Why not when he spoke in front of his supports and before he talked to the press. If you are at the place something like this happens and you are shocked by it and don't accept it, why not say it up front instead of after everybody leaves. Maybe we should ask Romney what a great honest person John McCain is."

Well obviously the course he took worked very well in getting out the word that he completely disagreed with Cunningham's comments. You obviously heard about it, as well as did most of the country. You make it sound like he rebuked him in private hoping nobody would hear. Obviously everyone did hear and I'm sure McCain could care less about your worthless comments.

If the Media, and Obama, dose not want any one to use his middle name. All, should find another line of work. Obama, gets all of the free rides. I hope Bill Cunningham, provide full support to Hillary Clinton.

Willie Cunningham is kidding. Well, he is a conservative, but the comments are his schtick - he's been a radio personality in Cincinnati for ages, and he does this kind of thing all the time. If you asked him to speak at a Bengals pep rally, he'd deliver essentially the same kind of speech about the Browns, etc. His rhetoric is always somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but you'd probably have to listen to his show to pick up on it. You shouldn't take him too seriously, though I wonder who thought he'd be a good fit for a McCain rally in Cleveland…

Anyway, I'm voting for Obama - he's truly a Great American

So, because John McCain apologized and did not showi Bill Cunningham submissive respect, Bill Cunningham will snub Mike Huckabee (a fellow Republican and devote conservative) and instead support Hillary Clinton.

It looks more like Bill Cunningham threw himself under the Straight-Talk Express and out of the Republican Party. All because it wasnt fair to disrespect Barack Obama by poking fun at the name his two parents gave him forty-something years ago.

I have great respect for McCain now, even more so than before, because of this. Good man.

To be honest, despite me being mostly a Democrat, I would be okay with McCain, as well.

At least he came to his senses and endorsed Hillary.

It takes a hack to know a "hack". Cunningham siad nothing of substance, and his rant was as empty as he says Baracks' speeches are.

I have MORE respect for McCain now. McCain, unlike most on the 'right', knows the difference between right and wrong.

Why is everyone afraid to say Barack's middle name ? Hussein Hussein Hussein. Ah, how refreshing. Haahahahaaa !!!!

The snakes are turning on one another. Great.

Are there really people that listen to this garbage on his radio show? Doesn't say much for the people that listen to him.

This guy and his ilk are like a disease that attempt to fear monger and brain wash citizens. I am proud that McCain took the high road and has said he will run his campaign with dignity. I am a Republican supporting Obama but if McCain happens to win I would be happy with that too. They are both honest and dignified leaders. After 16 years of voting for the lesser of two evils I am happy that there will be two good candidates this year.

Lastly, to the people supporting this hate monger, don't you ever wish that you could find the security in yourself to be able to accept other people without tearing them down to build yourselves up? America needs to stop letting these far left and right fringes have so much voice. This country is made up of mostly moderates and it seems to me they are finally finding their voice and using it to tell these people to pack up and go home.

I am a moderate democrat and am wondering what Cunningham said that wasnt true. I'm not buying Obama's "Hope of the World" label either. I have not voted for 1 republican in my 30 year voting history but will be voting for McCain gets the nomination. I think it's really funny that anyone who has anything to say against Obama is automatically labeled a "racist" by the Obamazombies. I think Obama is a con man and it wouldnt matter what his race. I urge all Clinton suporters to vote for McCain if Obama wins the nomination.

Hate-filled public commentary is un-American. Corporations and organizations that allow their own to spew hate in the public domain should be held accountable as much as the spewer.

yes, keep cunnigham the right-wing bigots under the bus; crushed!

OK Bill Cunningham, why don't you ever say John Sidney McCain III? You say there is no reason you use Barack Obama's middle name. You obviously mean to portray him as a closet Muslim extremist. So stop putting emphasis on his middle name and say John Sidney McCain III's full name.

Have americans forgotten the name of person that caused the war in Iraq - Saddam Hussein. Why would you want to vote for someone who reminds us of our enemies. If he is elected you may be seeing that instead of Britain being our best ali, we will be having Iran instead. Do we have such short memories that we forget the enemy and instead we have decided to vote one of them into our top official position. This may definitely be the change that he is advocating. A change to turn to our enemies and soon we may not have any say in the running of our own country.

You had better stay wise with your vote and stop the band wagon and think things over before its too late.

Hillary, my vote is with you and I am backing you 100%.

Hillary's point on reject versus denounce is stop being so wishy washy on important issues. Take a stand for what is right. Trying to be someone for everyone, means you are no one for anyone. That was the point. Something is wrong, it is wrong–fight for it!

well bill….i really would have done the same as senator mccain….loll..u over did it buddy lol

I applaude John McCain for the way he handled the situation. I am a "Ronald Reagan" Republican but I am sick and tired of the conservatives like Cunningham, Limbaugh and Ann Coulter threatening everybody that does not walk lock-step behind them. I thought only extreme left wing liberals did that. Go ahead and vote for Hillary, Mr. Cunningham. You are giving us Republicans a bad name.

A fine example of American's Underbelly of society.

I'm probably not voting for McCain, but I do respect him for taking the high road here.

Good, conservative Republicans in Ohio and Texas go vote for Hillary. It is to the Republicans advantage by prolonging the Democratic contests and it sends a clear message to McCain.

What a hypersensitive ninny. What's in a name? Does not a rose by any other name smell as sweet? Is it not insulting to those who share his middle name, to see one so insulted by that very name? Many candidates have used their middle names. Do you think anyone would be proud to have the name "Milhouse"? I would rather be called Hussein.

I am so proud of Senator McCain for doing this. I am glad we have an extremely dignified candidate as the GOP nominee.

Aren't we tired of these radio guys trying to take over the conversation and make the story about them? This two-bit Limbaugh wannabee is insulted? Hey, he had no right to go off on a diatribe and use McCain's presence as a way to get attention in this way. It's guys like you who have ruined our politics, and there is no place far enough under the bus for you to be thrown.

Cunningham is beneath comtempt. Nothing more need be said.

Bayou Joe you made your 15 minutes of fame. It's to bad you are not smart enough to realize how the repuglicans are minipulating you. You and your ilk would not know the truth if it hit you smack in the kisser. You repuglicans have your own truth and the rest of the world has theirs. It's too bad your truths are lies!

I guess Bill Cunningham is getting exactly what he set out to get when he pulled his stunt. Publicity.

McCain wasted no time denouncing AND rejecting him.

McCain '08

I thought it was a hoot!!! Someone with a dispairaging word for Barack….its about time!!!

Well said, Kevin!

I don't think McCain is losing anything by losing the support of this one. Let Clinton have him - he'll go great next to Ann Coulter.

These comments by Cunningham says more about Him and his Evangelical Christain conservatives. To put Christain and conservative in the same jucstaposition is a contradiction in terms. These people are neither Christian nor conservative a more accurate description of both would be raving hypocritial bigots.

The best event so far in the primaries , Sen John McCain proved himself as real politician
We can’t trust Mc Cain we don’t know when he will throw us also . We have to join with Bill Cunningham and support Hillary Clinton

Mr. McCain does not need support from the likes of a fringe element "hack" like Mr. Cunningham. Mr. Cunningham makes his living on lies, distortion and slander. The sad part is that this just gives Mr. Cunningham publicity.

But wait! Did McCain denounce AND reject Cunningham's comments or just denounce, or just reject?

We need Hillary over here stat to clarify this situation.

John McCain just gained a little respect from me for throwing this guy under the bus. He clearly deserved to be thrown under the bus, would have been better if someone put the bus in reverse and ran him over again though.

bayou joe, i reject and denouce you

It's like Cunningham speaks in YouTube comments.

That's what happens when you get idiots to speak on your behalf. You apologize for them.

Let me be the first to apologize for McCain's apology. It appears to me that many people in this country cannot handle the truth. We are at war with an enemy that will resort to anything to destroy this Nation.
McCain should be doing everything to expose Obama and Clinton instead of praising them as fellow Senators. Just because they are in the Senate does not mean they have the best interest of the United States at heart. As president they can do more harm to our country and that is what we should be concerned about.

If he goes with Hillary Clinton that means he was for her all the time. Is he a real conservative? Please this guy is joke!!!

this guy is clearly nuts…how does he not see what he said as wrong…guys like these ruins the spirit of patriotism and honor this country stands for

SHAME ON YOU!!!!

Bill Cunningham is an idiot.

Yes We Can.

Obama '08!

if you think this is ugly, just wait. I'm sure its only going to get worse. I don't know why anybody thought this year was going to be easy.

Cunningham is a man infected with hatred. Look at the symptoms everyone, and be able to identify this illness, because we're going to see a lot of it in the coming months.

I'm actually proud of McCain for stepping up and denouncing Cunningham. The Bush administration tended to silently approve some of the vicious and divisive attacks that conservative talk show hows made on prominent democrats, and I think that contributed to the polarization of the American political scene that has occured over the last 8 years. McCain has made it clear that he's not the kind of republican that believes that all democrats are devils. That's encouraging.

I'm still not going to vote for him because I don't agree with his politics, but I was encouraged by by McCains comments.

Cunningham is a wacko. McCain would do better to tell the radical conservatives and evangelicals/Pharisees go to stuff themselves, and instead court the moderate voters in both parties.
