CNN

ever wonder what's going to be in George W's library? pop-up book and coloring books. he shouldn't expect the people to read any more than he has.

There are plenty American Muslims that speak out on radical islam, unfortunately the press never seems to cover it. It's always the crazies that seem to get the attention of the media. They always go straight to the crazy groups with m-16's yelling "God is Great" and never show the sensible Muslims in the background shaking their heads in disgust. Trust me there are US Military Muslims like myself who've served in Iraq, and abroad who have been more than outreaching to the community to get the message across that like Timothy Mcveah, the ku klux klan, Abortion Clinic bombers, and George W. Bush who are supposedly was outspoken christians – there are nuts and zealots in every religious lot. Islam does not have a monopoly on that.

What a shame for McShame surrogates. Not all muslims are out to get the us. What to you expect form 2 old goats.

There is nothing called extremist radical muslims, its all western media created these terminologies. In every belief or sect there are bad people, such Hitler a Christian, American Whites also discriminated blacks in USA. Similarly among muslims there are bad people, so don't blame to the religion on what ever bad things people do. There are good muslims in USA as well.

Sorry stuff Bud. Get a life E. W

A person can only be frightened if one let's themselves be frightened. It's getting old and quite frankly, very annoying. Wake up people. You have nothing to fear but fear itself.

This is not fear mongering, though not said in a politically correct way, it is the truth. Too bad more Americans don't have that kind of backbone.

If we, the US, need to play cowboys and muslims for keeps, there won't be another Alamo, I can promise you that.

Hey, give the poor old goats a break. They were referring to all those Muslims in Czechoslovakia!

tell it like it is...
there's nothing wrong with the truth. The Muslim extremist hate America and all Americans and we can't afford to let our guard down.

And, Obama will kneel to the Muslims.. he'll kneel to just about anyone who hates America – because you know America is downright MEAN.

Anthony,

Muslims definitely have come out against Islamic extremism. If the 9/11 attacks didn't occur, they would be living more peaceful lives. The September 11th attacks and other acts of terror have hurt them. Anti Muslim hate crimes grew 1700% in 2001 after the terror attacks. I'm positive that the vast majority of Muslims in the US hate what the terrorists did and continue to do.

While I thank Day for his "past" service to the nation, his actions as a swiftboater and his current actions are a disgrace. I can say no more, while some have provided honorable service to the nation in the past, the past is the past and current actions are neither honorable or for the good of the nation.

Anne E.
You are as dumb as a stump in your absolving the Muslims of owning the franchise for terrorism against Christians and Americans by citing McVeigh and others. Not even worth a debate. Pure stupidity.

mcsame/mcwar/mcbush–this is what the country will get if somehow he got elected! just look at who he surrounds himself with!

Bud, Tell it like it is. CAIR does not have American interests at heart.

I'm a 27 year veteran of the AIr Force and still serving and I do not care for McCain whatsoever. Obama has proven that he cares about the people in the military and not just the machine. I would not personally disparage Bud Day as it is inappropriate to smear a veterans service even though he chose that route. I know a great deal of folks in the military that are supporting Obama, in fact it has already been shown that he is getting a larger share of donations from your serviceman than McCain. Unfortunately while the republicans always scream about supporting veterans it is tradionally democrats that support legislation for the rank and file. Not exclusively but I could cite numerous efforts in the past year that McCain and Bush have been against.

Day needs to kneel allright. He needs to kneel and pray for forgiveness for this hateful and racist bungling. But, hey, this is only the beginning. Just wait for the race bating to begin later this summer and watch the corporate media sit by and give these old men a mouthpiece to spread fear and hatred against muslims and anyone else who wants a real change in foreign policy and a decent distribution of wealth in this former democracy called the USA.

Time for the old home Bud!!!!

"How meny Medal of honor were awarded at Wonded Knee when the military killed woman ,children and unarmed men? Remember this is USA history and yet this recipient spews this venom in the name of patriotism God help us"

Ouch!! Even I felt that.....

Leave it to LIBERAL media to screw up the service of a HERO...Bud Day was awarded the MEDAL OF HONOR for his service in Vietnam NOT THE MEDAL OF FREEDOM...

I'm sure there will be no correction of this mistake...of course why would there be when 99% of the people on this post have never heard a shot fired in anger!!!

Get a life, rayster. How many medals of honor were awarded in the Garden of Eden - remember this is "world" history, in a manner of speaking. You really take the cake! By the way, consult a dictionary for spelling, please! You DO know what a dictionary is, don't you?

more of the same it's time for these old goats to be in rocking chair
on the front porch in the country with no near neighbors. tHIS COUNTRY DO NOT NEED THIS KIND OF TALK.

McSame and Company! The Club of GRUPPY OLD MEN!

How can McSame be commander in chief? He can't remember countries, can't remember what he says or does, and surrounds himself with people who are as just as big a bunch of losers as he is. Remember America, we are a bunch of whiners who are having a mental depression.

It is the extreme fundamentalists that are the threat. He is only speaking the truth. When is the truth racism? FREE SPEECH!

I spent 22 years in the US military and 6-plus years in Saudi Arabia, a feat not many people can match. I am not an Arab nor a Muslim, but I do know about many of the problems the West faces when dealing with Arabs and Muslims. I seem to know more than just about anyone running the federal government about the Middle East – I definately know more than John McCain and any of his headless henchmen. We all need to pay attention to what the candidates do and say about themselves, rather than what they say about the competition.

McCain has adopted the same campaign strategy as Dubba – which is scare them to death – and since Obama has a strike against him to begin with, it should be easy to scare many "patriotic" Americans.

"CAIR would like to see Senator McCain come out and make a clear statement repudiating these remarks," he said. "We don't believe they're helpful at all in either putting out the campaign's message or winning the hearts and minds in the Muslim world that America needs to be winning.".....excuse me? What does this fellow, Corey Saylor, mean? Is it the mission of Americans or the western world to win the hearts and minds in the Muslim world? I think not! The Crusades ended centuries ago. I am not aware of other religions or cultures that are threatining the Muslim world with terror tactics and swords. If anyone honestly believes that the Muslims will accept other religions in their culture, think again. The Muslim long-range mission is to dominate the world and drive out all non-belivers with whatever means are necessary...including the eventual slaughter of all men, women and children who are not Muslims.

How meny Medal of honor were awarded at Wonded Knee when the military killed woman ,children and unarmed men? Remember this is USA history and yet this recipient spews this venom in the name of patriotism God help us

Right on--when Obama brings the troops home, Al Qaeda will be right behind them. We'll all be wearing flak jackets and dodging roadside bombs.

Hey CNN, get your military decorations straight!

Colonel Bud Day did not receive the Medal of Freedom for his actions in Vietnam...He received the Medal of HONOR!!!!!

Hmm how many Hindu suicide bombers have attacked the USA or its military in the last few years? It isn't "fear mongering" when it is the truth. Islam is going threw the same thing Christianity went threw during the middle ages. Now you can either ignore the truth and "hope" things get better or you can confront the truth and take action. I would guess most of the Leftists who post here are in favor of the "give them anything they want so they won't hurt us" option.

We are already in poor standing with the rest of the world. The two
"oil pimps" in the White House have done enormous damage.
And now this guy says this. What a crock! I am to going to live in
another country. Maybe( Czech).

MCAIN IS ALREADY TOO OLD TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE USA
It’s almost guaranteed that McCain will lose. He won’t be able to run in 2012 as he will be way too old. Right now he is just viewed as too old. Only 2% of people polled think someone in the 70’s is the best age for a President. So he has questionable health, is already viewed bu others as too old, and even states so himself: In the 2000 race he stated that he would be too old in 2008 to run again. So he is not trying to build momentum for a later victory, a-la-Reagan.”

CLOSE COMMENTS ALREADY.

Who cares about what this RACIST man has to say?

You know Bush loves WWII comparisons well i have one for him. in WWII the NAZI's made up a reason to invade poland Bush made up reasons to invade Iraq. how's that for WWII comparisons?

More wisdom from the Bush, oops, I mean McBush camp! Who is it again that has a better picture of international diplomacy and getting along with other parts of the human family?

What is this guy thinking saying things like this? Does he live in a bubble or a cave somewhere?

Sheesh.

Comments like this exemplify the ignorance of Americans. The Muslim religion does not support violence. However, as with all religions, including Christianity, there is a small percentage that are radical extremists. I think the events of 9/11 erased the memory of the Oklahoma City Bombing, which claimed the lives of 168 adults and children, from the minds of many Americans. That was a domestic terrorist attack by a radical Christian terrorist. Nor should we forget Waco, Texas. It is important not to target an entire religion because of a handful of individuals who twist religious conviction to suit their own purpose. Likewise, we must remember that America has it own home grown terrorists.

"All the deluded, anti-American Obamabots on this blog seem to care more about being nice to terrorists than calling them out for the despicable cowards they really are.

Good job liberals….national security is not a popularity contest…being nice to terrorist organizations and those that support them will never ever work and you are on drugs if you think it will"

First of all, what does this has to do with the topic??? And by the way, it seems to me that President Bush also wants to talk........

Why is the US economy collapsing in so many ways? A government is not run by one person. It is run by a whole collection of people, so it is vitally important that the leader appoint good people to help run it. What has Bush done? He has appointed

1. Diplomats who don’t believe in negotiation;
2. Climatologists who don’t believe in climate change;
3. Banking regulators who don’t believe in regulation;
4. An Environmental Protection Agency which doesn’t believe in environmental protection;
5. A justice department that doesn’t believe in justice (unless torture is justice);
6. An education department that doesn’t want to fund education;
7. A veterans administration that doesn’t support veterans;
8. A food and drug administration controlled by the pharmaceutical industry;
9. A defense department controlled by the weapons industry;
10. An energy department controlled by the oil industry.
11. A transportation department controlled by the auto industry;
12. Judges who don’t believe in the law (except for the Bush Doctrine);
13. UN representatives who want to destroy the UN;
14. An Agricultural Department controlled by the agricultural industry.
15. Intelligence agencies that punish intelligence.
16. Biologists who don’t believe in evolution (like physicists who don’t believe in gravity?);
17. Historians who believe the world is 6,000 years old.
18. Futurists who believe the end is just around the corner.
19. Economists who believe that the best way to stimulate the economy is to cut corporate taxes, wage endless war, and borrow as much as we can from foreign countries.
20. Lobbyists to every regulatory position in government to regulate exactly the same industries that they worked for before the government job and will work for after the government job.
21. An entire collection of staff members chosen based on their ability to overlook the obvious if it contradicts “the world according to Bush.”

Well, we could go on all day, but you get the picture. And Americans are confused by why the US economy is collapsing and we get no respect in the rest of the world? It seems pretty obvious to me. And McSame will be, well, pretty much the same (if not worse).

This is what McShame and his hooded friends want you to hear. they want you to think everyone is out to get you and Obama is leading the pack. Lets call all Muslims evil and lets say that Obama is Muslim he must be evil to. Lock the doors Obama is black and a Muslim he must want to kill you. Republicans want to to live in fear that way John Mcshame doesn't have to really talk about policy just point fingers. I'm sick of this crap. I sorry to say I was once a repub. but what is going on the left makes me sick.

MCcane will make a good leader,I thank he know what he is doing..You OBAMA people don,t mind to call him dirty names,shame on you..We need to know OBAMA hes young and does he really know how to leade our country...something to thank about..

True Americans will vote them out from the stage this year. America can't efford further with such resistic attitude. America needs change.

UNITE AMERICANS for change.

These 2 geezers look like those 2 old men in the balcony in the

MUPPETS.

Glad I don't live in YOUR world, Travis. Now go back to Big Bird and your lollipops!

"When American Muslims get as vocal as the rest of us in condemning their radical brethren, it will be they who change the truth. Until then, quiet Muslims deserve no apology. Radical Muslims are our enemy."

That is very disrespectful, you know that? You should be ashame for what you said...

Most of you writers don't belong on the same earth as our national hero Bud Day.

I may not agree with all he says, but I'll defend to the death his right to say it.

Why is it whenever anyone mentions obama, he is charged with racism.

It is sickening to me to hear all the crap that some of you write. i wish you could have shared a cell with Bud and John. Think about what you have now because of guys like them, You have freedom. With people like obama in charge, you probably would be on the plantation picking cotton.

What is CAIR's public position on religious persecution in predominantly Islamic countries ...... i.e. Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc?

Touche, Becky- see below: I say that goes for Michelle Obama as well- if SHE says ignorant hateful bigoted things on behalf of a presidential candidate- then SHE is fair game too? Why does Obama and his supporters want to define/ control free speech?

Becky July 18th, 2008 3:38 pm ET

Johnny Mac July 18th, 2008 3:09 pm ET

The dems are attacking another war hero.

despicable and desperate

________________

The "war hero" you speak of says ignorant and racist comments on behalf of a presidential candidate. Fair Game.

I thank we have ever right to know all we can about OBAMA..The country dosen,t know him..WE don,t know if he is ready to lead our country..You OBAMA people thank its alright to talk about MCcane,shame on you for all the dirty names you have call him..I thank he will make a good presdent and i thank he know what he is doing

Islam means submission. Any questions?

"Sounds like you are very angry and bitter. Do you undestand the magnitude of frustration in Mideast, because of our addiction to oil and their authoratarian rulers. You can go back to where you came from, but i doubt that anybody will take us, with this much of hatered towards US,when your buddies are in power."

You can thank my boy President Bush....

Jeff:
Don't worry they will rot in hell! To make the smarmy remarks they make about a true hero is lower than low. My 21-year USAF husband will also drop his retirement papers should Obama be elected RSINC....Rock Star In Chief! Who really wants to repeat the anti-military days of the Clinton Administration that only those in the military remember? The esteemed title of CINC should never be used with one who cannot distinguish between a battalion or a squadron!

"am a 19 year veteran of the US Air Force,"

How the hell did you become a veteran?? At what age did you join, 12??? And by the way, if that's the only way you're gonna protect him from his service, you're just way off....

People think Obama is lieing when he says Mccain is for the 3rd Bush term. Mccain is using the very same people Bush used to defeat MCCAIN.

What he said happens to be a sad fact. Obviously, he was referring to Muslim extremists, of which there are, unfortunately, too many !

JEFF,
FYI...EVERYBODY ON THIS BOARD IS A HERO! WE ALL SERVE THIS COUNTRY IN EVERY RESPECT B/C WE LOVE IT. YOU CHOSE THE MILITARY AND SOME OF US CHOSE TO BE TEACHERS, MEDICAL DOCTORS, NURSES, CONSTRUCTION WORKERS, GARBAGE COLLECTORS...WE HAVE AND CONTINUE TO SERVE THIS COUNTRY JUST AS ANY MILITARY PERSON...WE DESERVE THE CREDIT, TOO!!!!!!!!

Is it these idiots say these comments as they want their photo / name in the headlnes same as all others that do terrible things just to read their name and see their photo on front page .
They are idiots to begin with .

Fearful people do stupid things... or in the case of the present administration-Stupid people do fearful things

You old folks sound like the Talibans. I think you should retire in Afganistan! If you like there so much! Or probably Iraq? Since you're war hero, and all waiting to die, why not replace our younger soldiers and be shot dead over there? At least you'll save some Social Security money for the next generations?

Hey Travis: I agree with your muppets comments! LOL

Bud Day is a blithering idiot. Anyone who pays attention to him deserves to be shipped to Iraq on the next thing smoking.
The way to fight terrorism is up close and personal.

Two things:1. Hey Gabe, last time I looked, our servicemembers were actual US CITIZENS with the RIGHT to their own opinion. I know, cause I am one. If anyone has a right to speak about who the next President are the people who serve our nation. 2. Having served in Iraq, I ahve to say Col. Day is totally right. The radical muslims want nothing more than to destroy anything and everything that the US stands for. The Council on American and Islamic Relations needs to rupudiate every attack on the US and US citizens made by radical Muslims. I find it rather convient that when the citizens of this country exercise their actual rights, someone stands up and says that we are hatemongers, racists, etc. Yet the "religous scholars" of the Middle East can call for the killing of Americans and it's the "word of God" that they are speaking. When I say 'they' I mean any Arab who calls for the destruction of the United States. Find them all and send them to Hell. By the way, I'm only 37 yearsold and not some 'old fart' as some of these other posters have called Col. Day. God Bless him.

"The Muslims have said either we kneel, or they're going to kill us."

Which Muslim said that? Are we sure old Buddy didn't fall asleep last midday watching Superman II. Maybe he thinks General Zod is a muslim. Someone please stir him from his forth nap and tell him that it was just a picture show and we don't have to kneel to Zod or any of the other muslims from Krypton.

Bud: Your 30 minutes are up. I'll give you 30 vs. the usual 15 because of the medal but seriously...go home and take a blue pill.

I forgot something, many Muslims DO condemn terrorism. Once again, these guys fall under the silent majority.

Were supposed to be an understanding nation, this sure as hell does not help.

Obama '08

You know, I used to go along with calling McCain McBush and implying that it would be another four year of W if he was elected. Now we see what's REALLY the threat here – call him McHITLER – at long last – has this idiot no shame at all? Is there no limit to the depths that this man and his supporters will sink? What a bunch of fascist idiots these people are!!!!

THis is the most ignorant, racist thing I have ever heard!

He believes all Muslims want to destroy America and us, well this is simply not true! Have any of you idiots ever heard of "the silent majority" which is the 99.9% of Muslims who follow their faith peacefully and actually want to improve relations with the west! No, well that doesn't surprise me in any way! This is why McCain and his cronies should NOT be elected. You ignorant people, why don't you meet a Muslim and I think you're in for a real surprise (and if you are, you're just plain stupid!)

Muslims worship the same god! And did it ever occur to anyone that if all were terrorists, wouldn't we be dead? Finally, what happened to the KKK, the IRA, the Kosovo incident? They were conducted by Christians, why can we look past that? Oh... a few did it. The same goes for the Twin Towers and the Taliban, what's the difference?

In case a few educated people here did not make this clear:

ALMOST ALL MUSLIMS ARE NOT TERRORISTS!!!

Obama '08

Let McCain boys keep this type of attack up, stereo-typing all Muslims to be killers, is only helping Obama. Keep up the good work Ye ole farts.

My father was a republican. When talking about the middle east he used to say "lets sell both sides weapons so they can kill each other". I was sick when I was old enough to realize that is just what "we" did.

Now morons wonder why they are mad at us.

Hitler used fear just like "they" have. Of coures they are republicans.

Freedom of speech isn't free. Just ask the Dixie Chicks.

Sam: You are clueless. I too was a military officer and no Lt (Kerry's rank) has the power to do what you suggest. You are feeding on the average person's lack of knowledge about the military...you have no honor sir...none!

PUMA nuts

Think HRC will ever get my vote? No way.

Better try to think again.

Go Obama

Anyone who calls themselve muslim and does not live by the koran is considered an infidel & in ways worse than a Christian or Jew. A true muslim lives by & obeys the koran. All of you people that don't know what islam is should study up on it. Then maybe you would have a different opinion on it.

Since when did moth balls get such a bad name?

Since when did moth balls get such a bad name?

Griff: That is like saying "all whites are bigots" "all blacks are uneducated" etc, etc, etc, You can not lump all Muslims together. Not al Muslims are alike as not all Christians are alike. You cannot generalize. And you said Arab and he said Muslim, but not all Arabs are Musli!!

EXCELLENT AD!!!

Not all muslims are terrorists. However, most condone the 9/11 attack on America.

McCain and his campaign are despicable. I can't believe that I once respected this guy.

What world are you people livng in? Most of the comments on here are delusional. Obviously these people don't like truth.

CNN, hurry, dust off your "analyst" Carl Brenstein for another "hatchet job" mission. That is, unless he is only capable of attacking the Clintons.

Bud Day is lying scum.........his brand of insanity is what has made a mess of our country.

This comment is not a surprise. I am sure as the campaign progresses we will hear more of these types of comments, the fear factor will multiply tremendously. Expect terror alerts to go up and phantom terror threats.

His remark is absolutely accurate.

McCain has not repudiated or denounced this comment. Is this the "change" that we can trust? Think again. McCain is just another politician who allows his buds and himself roam around and make very unfortunate comments, statements and mistakes. Let me make a list of them:

Gramm
Hagee
Falwell
Parsley
Loren Davis
Cunningham
La Raza
Fiorina

and now this fear mongering 527 fool Bud???

Why is this controversal? This is the truth spoken. The very definition of Islam is submission.

This makes me want to go to Obama's website and pledge some more money... except that I already did that very thing this morning when I read about McCain's "socialist" comments (...'cause he might just be right...)

What angers me is that nobody is bothering to point out the obvious, smack-yourself-in-the-head flaw with this whole "Well, we can't PROVE that Obama is a muslim..." nonsense:

So what if he is? Am I to understand that the republicans would like to toss out Freedom of Religion along with the other rights they've decided we can do without? Say he is a muslim: are they implying that muslim's don't have the the same rights as christians? Or jews? Ask a republican the next time they bring that up. Make them explain how we send people half-way around the world to die for "liberty and democray" in Iraq, but they want to do away with those same ideals here...

Once again the hypocrisy of the Obama followers is showing:

Call Hillary any name in the book.
Label those who disagree with you as racist.
Insult others.
Demean, mock and debase Hillary and her supporters...
Defend the hateful rants of Rev Wright as freedom of speech.

Defend the ugly comments against Hillary and America made by Michelle Obama as cool and true and freedom of speech.

BUT do not say anything against Obama or Michelle- that is disrespectful and unfair.

Don't speak out against our sworn enemies- that is bigotry.

Practice the tolerence that you preach- be kinder and more respectful to your fellow Americans and your fellow democrats... then you can cry foul at any perceived hatred.

I don't love McCain BUT, Unfortunately, the Koran does indeed require that all peoples in Muslim lands either convert to Islam ( i.e. "kneel" ) or to live in segregated communities known as "Dimi's" where they are taxed and enjoy less rights. It is a simple fact that Christians and Jews in Muslim countries have been forced to live in this fashion for centuries. Read the Koran or a history book if you don't believe me.

You guys at CNN are being grossly dishonest in order to cater to the Muslims.

Dang these old warriors are ignorant. In the rush to "talk tough" couldn't someone explain the word "Muslim" to Colonel Swiftboat? Are we at war with a country called Muslim-kovakia now?

Another so called hero turned coward,painting all muslims with a broad brush.God will decide who lives and who will die not man.

Add it to the list of stupid comments.

Ignore him – he's old – just like his lying war-mongering best buddy.

What about it is controversial?

Don't the Islamist say so themselves? Don't they attack civilians? Don't they kill authors of books they label offensive? Don't they kill people for cartoons that depict religios topics? Don't they impose Sharia Law that demands beheadings and stoning?

Don't they try to bring the entire world that disagrees with them, down on its knees?

Why is it controversial?

The extremists themselves state that as their goal- destroy the evil satan... death to America...death to the West.

Islamists have killed people over writing a book or printing a political cartoon.

Why pretend otherwise?

All the hateful Obamabots- who rained vulgar, foul, insults on Hillary and her supporters- will now denounce this simple comment as bigotry.

How hypocritical.

Look at your own selves- calling other democrats racist, and calling fellow Americans dirty white trash, inbred rednecks, ignorant morons etc etc.

Chill out- FREE speech goes both ways. The extremist Muslims DO want to bring all NON-Muslims to their knees- the Koran tells them to eradicate all infidels and Jews where ever they find them.

So?

Give it up Obama slaves.

Barack, the arrogant, obfuscating pretender with a single priority of winning, has no moral center, no core principles, questionable relationships, no judgment and egomania beyond belief!

And, he will not win! McCain 08, the only wise choice!

I have no problem with someone speaking their mind. However, this is not someone McCain should allow to speak for him. This is a guy who alleges to be a super-American when in reality he was responsible for the attacks on Senator Kerry’s military service. I am proud of McCain’s service. I am proud of Kerry’s service. Attacking a war hero’s service is simply just wrong…McCain needs to pull this guy!

No wonder the world views America as an ignorant, racist country.

McCain cheerleaded for an illegal invasion to try to change the Muslim way of life and the way America is going who would want to emulate this country?

Swift Boat attack was totally truthful,"

spoke Bud Day.

Weird, McCain comdemned their crap in 2004 and now he hangs with them.
Hypocrite.
As for Mr. Day, he is delusional or lying. He is like Lillian Hellman.

Good! I will not bow or kneel to the Islamic terrorists, either - and neither will my country with McCain.

I grew up in East Germany, which was under communist dictatorship, and I know first-hand what that's like - where family and friends suddenly "disappeared" in the middle of the night and were never seen or heard from again.

YOU people who compare America to the terrorists are truly ignorant and should be ashamed of yourselves! You need to spend just one week under a terrorist regime - you'd change your tune in a hurry.

Evil is REAL and thrives on complacency! And it is NOT called "America."

Let us hope American voters are up to the challenge this time - we need Sen. Obama in the White House ... We cannot fall for this type of campaign again. Hate breeds hate ... We need intelligence/judgment and ethics!

Bud Day was a war hero...thank you for that Sir. Now, Bud Day is an out of touch senior citizen like John McCain and should NOT be looked upon as any kind of sage.

.McCain is just desperate and grasping to stay in the media while Obama makes History. The reason McCain could not get as much coverage while on his experience tripping is because basically he has nothing to say that folks really want to hear. Believe me, no one even wants to see him coming or going

Everything that he is promising are lies, none of them will be met because he cannot and will not win.

He is just being allowed to the best that he can until the final day to say "Adios Amigos it was a good race while it lasted"

Tara you comments as a black sister is so very sad, you talk just like McCain maybe you should run with him and his step ford Wife.

As for as Lou Dobbs well, he is just another prejudice red neck who is so obvious every night. I have all my friends changing channels until his segment is over.

Those old guys have more balls than any of you will ever have! You should be thankful to them for the freedom to express yourself no matter how wrong you all are. They gave more for this country than any of you have ever done or will ever do.

Vote Libertarian

Let the RACIsm begin!

For all of those who see fit to dishonor this man remember he is a war hero and a medal of honor recipient. If these detractors added up all of their accomplishments throughout their lives it wouldn't equal what he did during that period. He should be given the respect he's earned.

It is claimed that in America there is freedom of speech.
However there seems to be an immediate angry and abusive backlash whenever someone exercises that freedom by saying something unpopular even if what is aid is factually correct.

More fear mongering by the Republicans. This is really getting old, and certainly is not working this time around. Have the Republicans ever heard of diplomacy? If diplomacy does not work then America needs to do what needs to be done, but at least try diplomacy first....who knows, it could just work.

Bud Day is whats wrong with america. He served a country he helped ruined...I don't know how that man sleeps at night.....esp cause the "muslims" are coming for him...as they should..its people like him that invaded their country...not us liberals. We know the differnece between muslims and islamic extremist...you know like christians and evengelicals...

John McCain's regard on GI and Veterans affairs:

*AWOL for May 22nd vote on GI Bill. Expressed opposition to bill saying "it was too generous to Veterans".

*Voted against Bill in September that would have mandated adequate rest for troops between combat deployments.

*Voted No on $1.5-billion increase for Veteran Medical services (money would have come from closing corporate tax loophole).

*Voted No on establishing a trust fund to bolster underfunded Veteran Hospitals.

*Voted No in May 2006 against $20-billion allotment for expanding Veteran Medical Facilities.

*Voted No in April 2006 to increase Veteran Outpatient care.

*Voted No in March 2004 another $1.8-billion reserve for Veteran Medical care (again funded by closing corporate tax loopholes).

Bottomline, McCain is more interested in taking care of big business then the men and women he wrongly sent to fight in Iraq.

I Agree , alot of folks are blinded by the " change " theme that they can't see that several delegates have said he is muslim ....Now New york comes out with muslim satire .....he's lost alot of super d's according to noquarter usa ... just can't wait to see what is next..

Add Bud Day's name to the list of Republican Leadership Posterboys.

So according to McCain advisors, now all Muslims want to kill us and Americans feeling the current financial pinch are all whiners.

I used to like McCain, but now I fear the idea of him as President.

Keep in mind the BUSH administration is buddying up to some of of Obama's foreing policy ideas. Pulling troups out of Iraq and putting them back in Afganistan and negotiatting with Iran (or whatever spin they try to put on dimplomats inside Iranian border). So McCain is looking more and more out of touch on foreign policy.

These old war birds are owed a debt of gratitude. Not political power.

Thankfully, all of these surrogates and advocates are all over 70 years old. Not that age is a problem, but the fact that the world is very different than in their day. My Dad was so afraid that people would be breaking into his house, so he had guns hidden everywhere for safety. They just can't accept that they aren't everybody's bullseye.

So much for detente, diplomacy, etc. McCain gets in office and he will continue to call Iran and all other Muslim countries, "our enemies", and they will refuse to talk to us, and through his lack of respect for someone different than him, he will get us into another war. The world is a different place than it was in '43. We have to learn to get along, something McCain is having difficulty with.

mr mr,

Allowed? ALLOWED? WHO ALLOWS YOU TO MAKE CHILDISH REMARKS?

Another Fear Lie, republicans will steal your social security.

The dems are guilty of fear tactics too. Black Churches will burn if you elect republicans (St Louis 2000) and Republicans will drag blacks behind picup trucks (Texas 2004) and republicans created Jim Crow (Democrats prior ot 1968).

Since when does being a POW buddy make someone McCain's "surrogate?

Once again the McCain immature hours has not failed. Not all Muslims are out to get us.....WOW!! And I thought the GOP wasn't going to fear monger this election.

It age factor..... give him a break.

"And who took the twin towers down?? And other bombs in the New York area??? And who wants to bow down to the terrorism and have in the past? Who wants to make slaves here in the U.S. ?? Is it Ted Kennedy & Kerry,??? And now Obama.? McCain was held as prisoner, and who should understand freedom better than McCain, not Obama for sure. Obama wants to give the U.S. way in taxing us for the U.N. ect. I hope Ms. Rice could be V.P. with McCain. She is everything Obama is not, to being in the potical area and saving the U.S. freedoms. Once the freedoms are gone you will not get them back, Like Cuba and some in South America. Think careful, before you make a choice."

First of all, I could tell by the way you wrote that, you just don't care! I guarantee you! Second of all, explain to me the difference between a Muslim and a terrorist??? Because there is a difference. Third of all, can you explain to me how much money the U.S have wasted so far?? Fourthly, have you seen the economy lately??? I dont know if your family is struggling because it sounds like you don't...

No offense but I'm Catholic, O.K? My god DOES NOT, I REPEAT, DOES NOT tell me to condemned people, O.K? So to portray Muslims as people who wants us to be slave states, and so forth, I hope you believe in a God....

Day's cooments are horrible and racist. That's the most outright plain bigot I've ever heard of!!!

Telling it like it is Baby! What's so controversial for telling the truth?

Dems can't take the truth because they are not used to it!

vote Libertarian

It seems that all the people that McCain surrounds himself with think alike. He has had to distance himself from a lot of people. If he is elected (God forbid), will these people be put in positions of power? I fear he won't feel the need to distance himself then. What a scary thought.

I respect the Congressional Medal of Honor, but recipient Mr. Bud Day is a total turn off. The fact he wears the Congressional Medal of Honor as he actively engages in this offensive, dishonorable behavior is a travesty. As a veteran I am personally offended.

On a lighter not this could be a possible cover for The New Yorker: Bud Day with his Congressional Medal of Honor as he is dressed in Muslim garb, in a Swift Boat with the name "Straight Talk Boatway" yelling offensive slurs and innuendos as ordinary appearing boaters are paddling like crazy to get away.

I'm really sick and tired of the media dissecting every single word that comes out of BOTH campaigns. It's bordering on ridiculous now.

Anyone who loves America and who is truly disheartened by the current state/course of America, will not vote for John McCain in November.

“The threat we face is from radical Islamic extremism,"

For those who like to refer to Day's comments as being negative, hurtful, hateful, or any other slur, bear in mind that it was in fact RADICAL, EXTREMIST MUSLIMS that flew our planes into the WTC, and have actively engaged in acts of war against the United States any anyone allied with us. Please quit being so thin-skinned. For those Muslims who are neither radical, nor extremist, why are you offended by this comment? It obviously DOES NOT refer to you.

Does anybody remember what happened on 9/11? If Muslims are so "peaceful" why do they terrorize their own people (women, children) let alone those they see as their enemy? – Even young muslim men are afraid to defy muslim leaders. Well, American Christians are not afraid of them!!!!! That is why we need a brave American leader like McCain – not someone that more interested in what The World thinks of America than it's own citizens. Go get em, McCain!!!

A group, like the PUMA's, who are bent on only destruction.

This election will come down to a vote between people who think like Bud Day and people who reject his thinking. The McCain campaign cannot point to anything positive from the last 8 years of Republican rule so must instead disparage Obama. Sad that politics has become the art of making 51% of the voting public frightened and hateful of the remaining 49%. I hope we can get past this...

Hi Jake,

I'm a Muslim. I am not an extremist. In the twenty-plus years since my conversion I have met no violent extremists–a few who were extreme in their thoughts, maybe, but they were only irritating. (There are people like that in every religion.)

It's not political correctness. I'm an American as much as you are. I was born here and so were my parents. I was raised Protestant but I chose Islam as a young adult. Oh, and in case it matters (it shouldn't) I'm white.

My six kids are also native-born Americans. There are millions of us. Doesn't our citizenship count as much as yours?

There are more than a BILLION muslims in this world. I am ready to bet my paycheck that not ALL muslims are terrorists.

Can we go for at least one day without a single gaffe from McSame's campaign??

Islam IS the threat...not radical islam, not fundementalist islam, not the "highjackers of islam". The threat is in the Quran, a "good" muslim
reads and follows the Quran. To do otherwise is blasphemy and blashemy is a punishable offense. Read what W. Churcill wrote of Islam. This is simply the continuation of a 1400 year old war against the infidels. Islam was spread by Muhammad and his followers by the sword and continues to this day. Religion is invoked by the islamic terrorists worldwide, NOT by the Americans fighting them. The intolerance of muslims toward anyone not in step with islam is remarkable. I urge all of you to read the Quran. "Converted" muslims are a joke, unless and until one has lived in a totalitarian islamic country under shari'a law then one is not a real muslim. Despite simply saying, "I'm a muslim." I am not a christian nor a jew and certainly not a muslim but an American and it is my right to critisize any and all religions. Despite the Quranic edict for muslims not to kill other muslims such is not the case. During the "so called golden age of islam" the so called rightly guided caliphs were murdered by other "loving" muslims. Sorry. enough.

Just more reasons why we need a NEW, fresh leader in the white house and around the world. Stirring the pot in the middle East will NEVER bring peace and stability to the region or make us any safer at home. God Republicans are just clueless. Time for America to stop with the 20 second soundbite and wedge issue, and really pay attention to the opportinity that is right in front of our faces. OBAMA '08. Oh and to the Puma folks, McCain can't stand Hillarycare. Still wanna vote for him you fools?

The terrorist have stated in their audio and video rants that they will kill the infedels unless they fall to their knees and worship Allah. Its fact, look it up! You Obamites might want to pull your heads out of the sand long enough to look up facts before spewing your usual ignorance.

So, all he forgot to add was the word 'extremists'?!? Other than that, I don't hold his comments against us, considering he was probably led into this statement by earlier conversation about extermists or terrorists. A muslim practices Islam. 99% of the terrorists in that region are muslims. Save for John Walker Lindh-types & influxes of new recruits.

And yes, I am voting for McCain; I need someone who knows what and how to change, rather than just knowing how to repeat the word over and over from 2007 to November 2008. Like Pelosi, Barack knows a bad idea – it is any one that isn't his, trouble is, he has no original ideas, just disregard for anything from GOP or whitey.

Pelosi – grow a pair and let your ego down and drill, baby.

Obama wants to rid the world of nuclear weapons – WOW, does he also want everyone to be nice and stop using drugs and having sex.

Has he ever REALLY experienced the human nature of our world. We fight. We hate. We have sex. We drink the booze. And we always disagree.

The beauty of US and F-ing A is that we have the freedom to do these things. I love every legal American; even if you hate whitey. This honkey loves ya. Keep REAL freedom alive, brothers of all kinds of colors.

"All the deluded, anti-American Obamabots on this blog seem to care more about being nice to terrorists than calling them out for the despicable cowards they really are."

No one wants to be "nice to terrorists". What we WANT is for hate mongers to stop clouding our vision.

A terrorist is a terrorist. Period. Muslims dont own the patent on terror. Terrorist dont believe in Islam. They believe in terror. For them, Islam is just a tool to be used for their own ill gotten gains. True Muslims, Christians, etc believe in peace.

Open your eyes and see past your fear, and your true enemies will be easy to identify.

they all look like a bunch of fools

Ok. Now who ever wheeled Mr. Day out of his nursing home unit needs to take him back in. It's time for some strained peas and bed.

I suspect that there are people in the muslim world saying the same thing about christians. But consider this: Most of America's (Christianity's) bad experiences with the dreaded muslims have occurred within, say, the last 25-30 years. The bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut is probably a good starting point.

Their problems with us (Christians) go back to the Crusades. Big difference. Shouldn't be relevant today, you say? Old history??? Okay, how about the CIA engineering the ouster of Iran's democratically elected President Mossadeq in the 1950's. Aren't we the ones who are supposed to be supporting and defending democracy? Only when it suits us, I guess.

Like it or not, our chickens are coming home to roost.

The worst part is that simple-minded people like Day only fan the flames with their belligerent, undereducated ramblings. And worse still is the large number of even more simple-minded Americans cheering on this kind thinking. Then again, how many Americans think "professional wrestling" is real, or are unable to locate their home state on a map of the US.

It'll probably always be too much to expect them to ever locate, much less care about, a country like Bahrain.

What a group. So people think these guys are representative of USA. These guys were the ELITES of Vietnam they were the OFFICERS. Were are the foot soliders the one that were in the jungle. These guys got shot down from 30,000 feet. Why are we still listening to guys about a War that occurred almost 30 years ago. We might as well listen to guys from WWII about what they think. These guys are not news get some real soldiers.

How is the comment controversial? Convert or die is the mantra of many Muslims. Have you not been listening to them?

It will certainly help him and all of us,for once the world will cheer at our leaders after eight year of cowboy diplomacy and mispronounciation of neuclear for(nucular)we need an articulate leader who will restore our image and put us back to role of leadership in the world affairs.He will make the world open their mouth and listen again as we(America)shape the affairs of the world again.Remember,great leaders are born once in a century.Collins(Tx)

Matt, You are displaying your ignorance by lumping Muslims, gays, and atheists in with grown men who advocate sex with children. Try to understand that one is against the law (pedophilia, in case you are confused) while the others are 100% legal. Except in the America that you would like to see, I guess.

what's the big deal? The radical Islamic extremists are Muslim. What is so offensive and racist about this? If this is insulting, I'd rather insult radical extremist than insult the US citizens by stating they cling to their guns and religion and have apathy toward immigrants.

these old senile people are going to be the death of us all

And Gina, sorry but I think you are being ignorant to the fact. The terrorist are not all Muslims. Al Queda the terrorist group – get it straight please.

If you are not a dem, please log into Fox News. You will get all the praise you would like there.

The terrorists have already won because we are being led by people who dwell on making us afraid.
Does anyone really believe terrorists can take over America or our way of life? Only if we let them by being afraid of our own shadows.
The terrible events of 9/11 have served the terrorists purpose well. Fear and terror is the mantra of the decade.
We could learn from what the British citizens endured during WWII.
The Muslim comment was just plain stupid!

Perhaps Colonel Day simply misspoke....I mean, if the writers of this article (with presumably an editor or two looking it over before publishing it) can mistake the Medal of Freedom for the Medal of Honor......

HAHAHA...look at these old farts!!!!

Ah yes...The Republicans up to their old dirty tricks again, trying to instill fear and hate. Isn't going to work this time.

OBAMA 08!

Aside from the insane far left liberals who do not make up much of the population, this gentleman's comment will have people nodding their heads in agreement. We are at war with Muslim Extremists!!! He is telling it like it is, there is no "fear-mongering" here. WE ARE AT WAR WITH MUSLIM EXTREMISTS! This is a fact, not a race bashing comment.

Birds of a feather .... in this case, McCain and Day are both delusional, perhaps the result of their joint POW experiences.

Just another bigoted republican stating his true thoughts!! They are the reason we are, where we are , in the middle of wars everywhere!

I agree, and to all the racists who posts Barack "H" Obama to imply that Barack is a terrorist, TIMOTHY IS A LOCAL TERRORIST which means all "TIMOTHY'S" ARE TERRORISTS ? Go figure.

Please people we need to stop this hatred. Please stop. We have spent billions of dollars in Iraq for muslim freedom. Now we want to group them all as terrorist. Please stop the madness. Please stop.

Bud Day has more hero bona fides than McCain – shows how being a "hero" bears on being president. Bud Day was one of the original
swiftboaters and was also McCain's divorce attorney

Get real.....it was radical Muslims that attacked this country and have made a mess of the planet....I'm not about to kneel either and I think most Americans agree....and yes, we are winning in Iraq.

Hillary Clinton Supporter for McCain.

Wher do these morons come from? There isn't a day missed that some moron (idiot) says something totally stupid. These are the same fools that elected bush (Twice)

Bud Day, his actions and views are a return to the Cold War mentality. In his active military service days he may have performed heroic actions for which he was recognized by his country. Today, as his distasteful and hateful participation in the 2004 Swift Boat Of Lies campaign, this Dinosaur rears its head and makes it more sounds of nonsense. If McCain is intent in loosing in November, his campaign will do itself well to continue embracing this well over-the-hill-warrior.

10. Texas, 28.1

FAT=REPUBLICAN

I should have said Zealot's of any bent.

Let me say this in the end....

I did not hear the word Terrorists, O.K? And last time I checked, I read that Senator McCain won't kneel down to Muslims...

Tim McVeigh was a Republican (and a supposed "Christian").

He single-handedly blew up hundreds of innocent Americans, including babies at a day care in Oklahoma.

So all republicans are terrorists? All "christians"?

Or is it just the hateful fear mongering right wingers in both religions, both muslim and christian, that seek to "terrorize" us through fear both here and abroad.

Just say "no" to the politics of Bush-McCain-Rove-binLaden-Dobson.

There we go. another uneducated dumb remark by an old white guy whose probably on more medications than the local pharmacist can provide.

Thats really like saying all americans love cheeseburgers...i mean what type of stupid rasict remark is that. Like Islam is the ONLY religiion with a radical wing of believers that like to run their mouth off.....

These tired old hen's need to go back to chasing golf balls. I don't care if he's a war hero or not, his remarks were out of line.

And in all honesty, when do you think any of these old white guys (who still cling to the belief that they can remain in power as some sort of rite) have ever really sat down and had a conversation with a muslim here in america. Maybe if they left their retirement homes and met some hard working muslims...they might find that we're their doctors, nurses, pharmacists, bankers...and yes even police officers and firefighters. Normal people just trying to earn a decent living.

So to this man i say....Careful grandpa, cause the next time you get admitted to a hospital for bowel incontinence, you might find yourself next to one of those educated, dedicated and concerned "Muslim Desert People" that you were so afraid of.

"The only thing we have to fear. Is fear itself" –FDR

I never thought I'd quote FDR. I also never thought I would decide that I will never identify myself as a Republican again...

Obama/Clark

TO GRIFF -
Get Real – go vote for McShame and take your hate/fear mongering with you -

The Constitution never said a Muslim can't run for Presidency. Why the WASP are so biased to denegrade Muslim by all means? A Muslim has a perfect right live in this country or to be a president. The only reason we are in Iraq is for the Oil and very importanly, for all the profits of the Defense contractors. The arms industry profits enormously from the war. Nobody has said anything about this. The deal is very secretive. Say we are a open democratic country!???

Is this all the Reps just think about??? They just think about war??? Can someone tell them what the heck are they doing?? First of all, this ain't the first time something like this has happen. And if I were you Reps, you better hope it don't come back to bite you later on....

These 2 geezers look like those 2 old men in the balcony in the

MUPPETS.

WAIT FOR IT PEOPLE....if this doesn't stick to Obama....McWar will say...

THEY DON'T SPEAK FOR ME......duh

The ignorance is astounding. Colonel George "Bud" Day is a true hero of America. A Marine in World War II, a Korean War fighter pilot and Medal of Honor winner for his efforts as a POW in Vietnam. All of you people who are saying hateful nasty things about this HERO should rot in well.....

I am a 19 year veteran of the US Air Force, not particularly a big fan of John McCain as a politician, but I can tell you from the "inside" there are many people in the military today who will drop their retirement/seperation paperwork if Barrack Obama gets elected. This is an election where I have to vote for the lesser of two evils, the last time that happened I helped elect Clinton the Clown by voting for Perot, who was the better of the three major canidates.

By the way I support everyone's right to be ignorant, so blast away, unlike most of you I have served this great country!

abe lincoln is rolling in his grave at his current party,

*Sigh*

More ringing endorsement for McCain's foreign policy advantage, right?

But really, I love Bud Day. His racist good ol' boy-ism is doing great things for the Obama campaign.

this what u get when u have a campaign full of folks that are recieving social security checks

Sounds like you are very angry and bitter. Do you undestand the magnitude of frustration in Mideast, because of our addiction to oil and their authoratarian rulers. You can go back to where you came from, but i doubt that anybody will take us, with this much of hatered towards US,when your buddies are in power.

"We don't believe they're helpful at all in either putting out the campaign's message or winning the hearts and minds in the Muslim world that America needs to be winning."

It is not possible for the west to win the hearts and minds of the Muslim world. Zealot's minds are not open to messages.

McBush's platform-hate, kill, smear. It's just more of the same fear mongering.

Too bad all that time in prison bred a bunch of angry old men. Guys, you lost that war. It's too late for glory. Get over it.

I find sad, disgusting and disgraceful the way these old guys conveniently forget terrorists on our own soil - like Timothy McVeigh;
and home-grown religious extremists, like the ones in the standoff in Waco (and other places); and how about the serial killers, like Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer and others - they, too, were "terrorists," terrorizing women, children, neighborhoods. Were ANY of these men Muslim?? Or is it okay that they did what they did because they were "ours"?

THE "SWIFT BOATERS" WILL BE HISTORY AND WILL NO LONGER HAVE ANY VOICE HEARD BY ANY SENSIBLE AMERICAN.

McCain and his cronies no nothing about the Middle East or Islam, so I'm not surprised by this ignorant statement. These people should not be running our country.

"Wild Burka Babes Go Gonzo" by Phil Gramm and coming to an "art theatre" near you. Bow down and fact Mecca bozos. Show you best side!

Seriously John McCain, why don't you just give these bozos more airtime. You really didn't want the job did you. Yuck!

Amy – you are one of the most intellegent people on here –

thanks. Everyone whould read that – honestly

It would help if Muslims came out against Islamic Extremists and maybe we wouldn't mix them up.

So CNN and the media have been criticized for all their glowing stories on Obama and a minuscule number of stories on McCain. How is CNN fixing that? By posting negative stories about McCain so the Obama fans can slam him. You gotta love it !!!

Not sure what is so off-color about this. The extremists have said they want to destroy us–he didn't say all Muslims....call it what it is–people trying to kill us are bad, whatever they call themselves.

Day is absolutely right on the money! The ignorance of the posters here doesn't bode well for the safety and well-being of our country. With limp noodles like this holding the microphone, it's only a matter of time until we're overrun.

Sad.

Bud Day sez "listen to me or I'll gum you to death" Jeez, could the Swift Boaters ever look more elderly and feeble?

George "Bud" Day was also, and this is NOT a tasteless joke, McCain's divorce lawyer when McCain divorced his first wife because John wanted to marry a gorgeous young heiress. Bud had been McCain's friend even before that. That's how far back these two guys go–the idea that Bud Day is on a different wavelength than John McCain is ridiculous. They are peas in a pod.

Not only is Bud Day a SwiftBoater but... he's the guy who McCain brought out to (attack Wes Clark's military service) while (saying Clark shouldn't attack McCain's military service) while (Clark did not actually attack McCain's military service). And at that time, McCain said that Obama should remove Clark from Obama's campaign, while he has obviously continued to keep Day on his own campaign. Whew!

Mr.Day
This is a man that should be honor for service to country but
when you are wring you are wrong.There is no way McCain support
this guy now

The old guy told the truth. The only active arm of the Muslim religion right now is the "radical" one, while all the rest say nothing in dissent. How many Arabs do you need to see dancing in the street celebrating the release of a baby killer ? When American Muslims get as vocal as the rest of us in condemning their radical brethren, it will be they who change the truth. Until then, quiet Muslims deserve no apology. Radical Muslims are our enemy.

what's next McStain, lynchin? pathetic

Sheik Yourbootie like Obama...he like me...praise Allah!!

I have no idea where these idiots come from. If this is the best that the Republicans have, then they need to buy an island somewhere and put up a fence to keep everyone else out.

Dems are stuck in the fix they rigged,

The rules of the primaries and caucuses were set up by the DNC, which was controlled by Clinton's supporters. If you don't believe me, try to remember which candidate had the most declared superdelegates at the start of the primary. It was not Obama; it was the "inevitable nominee" Hillary Clinton. The Rules and Bylaws Committee, which finally decided on how to seat the Michigan and Florida delegations and essentially ended Hillary's candidacy, had 13 Hillary supporters and 8 Obama supporters.

Stop threaten the rest of us that you won't vote for Obama. We know that because you kept on posting the same messages over and over, and CNN kept on posting them. Just remember Hillary can't win either, in 2012, without the support of Democrats who did not vote for her. She could not even win enough votes in the Democratic primary to fend off the Republicans and Independents who did not like her and voted for Obama, how is she going to win the general election, now or in 2012? These people vote in the general election too. Remember, most of Hillary's haters are not in the Democratic Party. They are in the Republican Party that has been demonizing the Clintons for years. Republicans have already started the campaign against Michelle Obama. They know how to attack a political spouse because they have had plenty of practice in the 1990s with Hillary.

Jeremy, NY July 18th, 2008 5:23 pm ET
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
It's hateful remarks like this that makes me want to shift my vote to Obama. I've been a very devoted Republican all my life, but this race baiting and this nastiness that people are not voting for Obama because he's muslim is beginning to get to me. So what if he's muslim, being muslim does not make you a bad person. Being a moron, an ignorant psycho and a bashing fool does make you a bad person.

Enough already with these anti-muslim/anti-black/anti-semantism and racial hatred.

I'm glad the young generation is learning how these older generation really feel.

=====================================

I couldn't have said it better myself. The more hate these republicans spew, the more powerful and stronger our party grows.

Were any of the 9/11 hijackers not Muslim?
Were any of the suicide bombers in the Middle East not Muslim?
Were the “people” who beheaded Daniel Pearl and others not Muslim?
Are the “people” of Al-Qaeda Muslim?

Bury your head in the sand or stand strong like Bud Day and call it for what it is.

This guy lied in 2004 and is still lying.
I think his cooperation with the VC ruined
his brain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is really sad .. Old WAR VETS with OLD LIKE MINDED Solutions.. FEAR and WAR...

My view is: The POTUS should be proud to take on the new and up coming challenges and be proud to see the accomplishments their inspiration and ideas bring to Americans..

I look forward to the end of this election season and the the bogus people getting back to the daily bogus lives and leave the 15 mintues of shame to ex-presidents..

Yes WE Can...

Jessica Lynch was a POW. Should I vote for her?

Give me a break!!! President Bush and Republicans have basically been saying the same thing for the past seven years and only now it's a problem?
How about CNN concentrating on problems that real people are having like filling their gas tanks, paying their high utility bills, food medicine. WHAT ARE McCAIN AND OBAMA GOING TO DO ABOUT THAT?

Linda who are we at risk from? I saw we are at a greater risk of being attacked by our government rather than another terrorist attack. Last place a terrorist can affect us is on or with a airplane. Let me educate you.. 9/11 only happened because Bush allowed it to, so HE would have a justifiable excuse in his own mind to bomb bomb bomb, bomb Iraq... I ask you this, what do the Twin Towers and Pentagon have in common? NOTHING.. 1 is our military headquarters and the other is a capitalist made building. I don't see the relationship between the 2.. . Its sad that McCain keeps surrounding himself with people who go to the early bird dinners at 4pm at Sizzler and are in bed by the time Nightly News comes on..

Thanx CNN for pulling my post about Col. Day's MOH info.. everyone needs to see what he got his MOH for, only seems like it was given for him trying to break out of the POW camp and nothing heroic.. I served my country during the 1st gulf war..

Moderates Unite.. You seem to think the US government isnt a terrorist either.. We are the only country to use a Nuke on a civilian target. At least the Japanese attacked our military in 1941 not civilians. Not saying its justified either way.. just a point!!

Would there have been an uproar if he had said something deemed offensive to Christianity?

Christianity is fair game, but oh no, can't say anything that might offend Islam.

MAKE NO MISTAKE.
WHAT HE SAID IS THE GOD'S HONEST TRUTH.
NOT THEIR "GOD" BUT YOUR GOD AND MINE.
SCREW THE MUSLIMS AND LET'S GET THE HELL OUT OF IRAQ LEAVING THEM TO THEMSELVES AND THEIR GOD.

WHAT IT IS THE PROBLEM IN THE U. S. A. TODAY? NOBODY IS ALLOWED TO SAY ANYTHING, IN MY OPINION WE ARE SHUT UP ON THE FREEDOM OF SPEACH IN THE U.S.A. THAT WITH ALL THE DIFFERENRENT RACES, RELIGIONS AND FREEDOMS AT THE END WE ARE TO BE SLAVES OF OUR OWN FREEDOMS. WHY? BECAUSE NOBODY IS ALLOWED TO OPENLY SAY ANYTHING.

I see General McCain still wants to rule the world

Other than it is "insensitive: not "politically correct" to say it out loud, I don't understand the outrage! I think 9/11 is proof Islamic extremists are set to destroy us...I think they're succeeding! Not liking the words doesn't make it any less true..they want us (infidels) to kneel before them and they want to our heads...in fact they've already had a few kneel before them and took their heads! Not sure what you people are not getting...let's see how "sensitive" they are to you and your families when you beg for their mercy...fools!

"Hey Bud, wear your medal of honor and flight jacket so we can look authoritative."

Wow I didn't realize all Muslims werer radical homicidal maniacs. They should give this guy a cabinet position. Now I can go and blow up the Muslim preschool down the street without feeling bad.

Wake up America! You elected George Bush based on this idiot's remarks - are you going to let him influence your vote again?

I am really disappointed by this remark as it is a sign of ignorance that promulgates hatred toward Muslims. I am a Muslim who is disabled United States Army Infantry Veteran and loves this Nation and would give up his life of her. I consider Bud Day a hero of mine for the scarifies he made on behalf of our grateful Nation but, I urge him to pay attention the next time he visits our Arlington National Cemetery and he will find the graves of Muslims who have fought and died for this great Nation.

"Gina,
who was the bomber in the Oklahoma City bombing???

A young white American guy…."

And a decorated veteran as well..

It's hateful remarks like this that makes me want to shift my vote to Obama. I've been a very devoted Republican all my life, but this race baiting and this nastiness that people are not voting for Obama because he's muslim is beginning to get to me. So what if he's muslim, being muslim does not make you a bad person. Being a moron, an ignorant psycho and a bashing fool does make you a bad person.

Enough already with these anti-muslim/anti-black/anti-semantism and racial hatred.

I'm glad the young generation is learning how these older generation really feel.

The threat we face is from radical Islamic extremism...that is what the guy said. He didn't say anything about ALL Muslims.

He spoke the TRUTH...problem is, most of us Americans can't handle the TRUTH

McSame is like an old drunk that walks into a bar and picks a fight with some young guy and winds up getting the crap kicked out of him, by the young guy's girlfriend.

Let's see some consistency Muslim hatters, almost all of the 9/11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. When will you demand that oppressive regime be taken down?

The McCain campaign is a debacle. He may have the resume but he proves his incompetence daily. This is not a viable selection for The President of The United States. All of this experience and less command of the issues and foresight than the average voter. Obama runs circles around him, Republicans and PUMAS are lying to themselves to a level to now unseen on the earth.

No one behind a campaign this inept, is capable of leading this country. You see it and still deny it. I have to ask how?

RIGHT ON !!!!

What he said is prety right on. There are more Muslims in the world than any other religion. Why is it that we only hear from the radicals? If the Muslims want to truly improve their image in the world then QUIT BEING COWARDS and VOICE IT AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Otherwise this image will never go away.

JAKE: ANYONE WHO USES ALL CAPS TO MAKE A POINT IS EITHER A STRIDENT ROBOT OR IS SIMPLY NUTS.☺☺☺☺

Another senile old man. No surprise coming from a "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" scumbag.

We haven't seen this kind of religious intolerance in our country for a very long time. And, of course, the New Yorker cover just feeds this kind of bigotry. That's exactly what it intended to do.

This is not fear mongering but truth told in black and white. As a peaceful nation India has withstood this islamic attitude for generations.
But that does not mean, we need to teach them a lesson.
They need to be dealt with politically and some tolerance of their peculiarities, while making it clear to them that such violence has no place in civilized world.

For ALL those who keep calling Obama "an empty suit" let me say this. I will gladly take an empty suit ANYTIIME over one filled with moth baths. At least there is a chance "that empty suit" can be filled with modern ideas which WE can all benefit from vs. the one filled with moth balls (from back in the day) which is too out of style to even consider.

I love how all of you self rightous people on her call for the end of negative comments and hate mongering when, if you read your own comments, that is exactly what you are doing. Take a look in the mirror!

It Be Me -

you make an excellent point, we also have many serial killers that turned out to be white men as well.

I think everyone is missing the point here so I'll spell it out for you:

NOT ALL MUSLIMS ARE TERRORISTS OR RADICALS. PERIOD!

Rob Moss – You have no clue. You were not there. I'll bet on it. Kerry "created" those citations. For his political career.

Self inflicted wounds never resulted in a Purple Heart for any officers in my unit.
(Retired Navy veteran)

I am a Muslim living in America. There are approx 3 to 6 million Muslims in America, and over 500 million in Europe. There are over 1.4 billion Muslims world wide. Does this old man really think that all Muslims have that mentality? If we all thougth like Osama the idiot, the U.S. and Europe woudl be up in flames right now. The fact is that 99% of us are law abidign hard working people, both in the West and outside of it. This bigot should be careful that his prejudice doesn't become some horrible self fulfilling prophecy.

It's just what McCain and his blood squad thinks ... War On Muslims ! Extermination of Muslims and continuing the Bush Crusade! War for the sake of War ! War is what we do !

Add McCains Rape jokes and you have yourself a party.

KOOK. Nothing else to say. KOOK.

This is John McCain's FRIEND. >>>> KOOK.

at least get your facts correct about Col Day. He was awarded the Medal of Honor (not Freedom). Also, someone doesn't "win" that award. They are awarded the medal.

This man knows nothing of Islam. He is spewing hatred because he needs someone to be the "enemy" to justify this ridiculous war.

Islam is not the enemy.

And he will kneel before Allah on the day of judgement.
This is certain.

Enough with the war. All these people want is war war war. Let's get those muslims before they get us! What in this world is this? It's 2008 for God's sake, not 1945! Enough is enough!

ARB is a closet muslim.

bud day probably has a t-shirt that says 'strap 'em all to a board!'

And the problem is?

Another hate filled warmongering racist in the McCain camp! We cannot afford more wars. Get it? We have to find another way.

MCCAIN/ROMNEY ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE.

MCCAIN 08!
HILLARY 12!

Before all you self-righteous, chest thumping McCain haters get too carried away about intolerance toward Muslims in this country, just remember that every time the Islam terrorists proclaim "Death to the Americans," they don't add "Except..........." They mean "all" Americans. To be sure there are good and bad in every ethnic group, but even in a political race, we Americans must stand up for each other and cut out the name-calling. I would really like for someone to tell us how many America-living Muslims rose up and publicly condemned the terrorists that attacked America, and continue to do so? If and when that ever happens, I honestly believe it will result in more tolerance for Muslim citizens by Americans. However, in America, what mafr it so great in the past was that citizens stood up and defended each other. That seems to be lacking more and more often.

What it the problem with the comment? The 911 folks were muslim. The folks we are fighting in Iraq and Afganistan are muslim. The leaders of Iran who vow to squash America are muslim.
True, not every muslim is bad, nor do we have a problem with them, although, they should publically denounce those who are intent in destroying our country.
In WWII, we were at war with Germans. Not everyone of them, but that's who (among others) we were at war with.
He didn't say we were at war with ALL muslims, nor that we want to wipe all of them out.
Get a grip folks, and quit looking to be insulted.

Funny, but what he fears, being forced to kneel to a Muslim god, is the very thing I fear... but from a Christian god.

Just because they are Muslim, does not make them terrorists. Why do people often forget this. Afterall, this is a country that subscribes to the freedom of religion doctrine.

MUSLIM does not equal TERRORIST.

Let's be fair: McCain wants more war, Obama wants more economic recession. They both have short-term goals that are easier to achieve if things get worse for us, one way or the other. Obama must be disappointed that the success of the surge in Iraq is not an illusion and will likely hold through the election. McCain must be disappointed that we're negotiating with Iran.

ref: Al, who wanted the MOH winner to "drop dead".

So, how much time have you spent in service to your country? Do you have any idea of what real sacrifice for your country means?

I would much rather have this man covering my back than "young once" who reflect your views.

The swift boat story is a lie. There were others that were actually there and they know the truth. This group of liars was back by T Boone, the fascist dog, Pickens. These guys are scum, scum, scum,.

The words of the DAY come straight from McSame's mouth.
McSame – the author of evil.

Wow how ethnocentric these poor creatures are...

Some of these comments on here attacking McCain are so ignorant. McCain did not make the comments. Seems like the more liberal someone is the less common sense, or just any sense, they have. The truth hurts. Yes, Im sure there are peaceful Muslims, but the cult itself is bent on forced and violent (if need be) global control.

Re: Col. Bud Day

The photo says "Medal of Honor" and the text says "Medal of Freedom". These medals are not even close in stature and I believe Col. Day received the lesser Medal of Freedom.
Get it right CNN. Which is it?

Good for him. About time.

Everything he said was accurate! Is there another group we are at war with that I don't know about? Besides the enemy within!

duh, we are not fighting the Germans. To the libs: truth hurts'

How is it that a man can grow this old and be so repugnantly ignorant?

I love how McKane's campaign keeps shooting themselves in the foot over and over. All these mishaps just take time away from the real campaign that Johnny boy should be focusing on. The way I see this, McKane cannot keep his staff under control and have them promote a uniform message. If he cannot organize a group of 50 advisers how is he going to run a country of 300 million?

..... "I don't intend to kneel, and I don't advocate to anybody that we kneel, and John doesn't advocate to anybody that we kneel," ...... of course not.... they'd never be able to get back up!

the McCain "joke"- if it can be called a joke- was posted on Alan Colmes blog LiberalLand yestereday, along with a few of McNasty's other caustic remarks.
http://liberalland.com/2008/07/17/how-funny-is-john-mccain/

Wow, Gabe, you would think that the military would be the ones who really earned the right to say what they think, evidently you don't think they should have that consideration, something tells me you were going to vote for Obama all along, and that you are just being a little melodramatic here! As for old, we are all going to be in their shoes one day, think, is that how you want to be treated just because you are no longer one of the beautiful young people? God , please spare me from the so called liberals, they are the most less tolerant bunch of people in these United States!

Shame on John Mccain for using his surrogates to do his dirty tricks for him. Bud Day was not speaking for Bud Dau rather for Mcshame no McBush oh! no McIdiot and Mcsame! Is this what the Republican party is all about now? What happened to winning an election by speaking the truth and letting americans know what you have to offer? CNN needs to put the McBush and Mccain and Mcsame and McIdiot campaign on a microscope just like it has done with the Obama campaign.

Obama '08

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."

Franklin D. Roosevelt, Inaugural Address, March 4, 1933.

Time for another Democrat in the White House.

No more hate, no more war, no more fear. For the sake of the world's children, please.

Swift Boaters are a major reason I donate regularly to Senator Barack Obama's campaign. Swift Boat politics is disgusting.

Save America from these fear mongering white headed neo con old farts. They are the biggest threat to the very survival of America.

I THINK "SOMEBODY" FORGOT TO COME BACK AND GET THESE OLD GUYS OR MAYBE THAT "SOMEBODY" DOESN'T WANT THEM EITHER. I GUESS THEY'LL JUST GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS BEING MENTALLY DERANGED.

Okay wow CNN could you not be more obvious. First McCain camp complains about news and air time and now this whole blog is about him. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!

it seems to me that Bush has just made an announcement regarding decreasing troops. This would be a blow to McCain and his idiotic supporters.

i love america.why do you hate me?my aunt was killed in the 9/11 attacks.i want to bring the terrorists to justice ,too.why do you hate me?i was born here,as well as my father ,who served in ww II,and fought in north africa,until wounded ,in battle.he was crippled for the remainder of his life,but,was proud of his service ,to this country.why do you hate me?

senator hothead will have more time in his hands to insert foot in mouth while obama is away.

CAIR, does not want McCain to repudiate the MOH winners comments, CAIR wants McCain to "Kneal" to their demands.

Grandpa McSame is a warmonger.

Keep it up Bud!!! You just keep espousing your hateful bile so that everyone knows what kind of small minded, insignificant troll you are. Oh ya, dont forget to keep mentioning how much John McCain thinks like you. All help appreciated, The hate-talk express rolls on!

Hey Bud, thank you for your service to our country, as I always am sure to thank all veterans, however, I can not forgive you or the John Kerry swift boat attacks on his character. Although you may debate his service record, there is one thing you can not debate...John Kerry was in Vietnam whereas George Bush was not. Unfortunately John Kerry did not ardently state this in his Presidential bid, which could have helped get him elected and our country would not have fallen in to the "dark ages" we now find ourselves in. Thanks Bud !

Told you, all of them are senial, they don't even have common sense. And if McCain by chance win the election now you see what old fogies he will have in his cabinet. LOL.

Obama please 08

Just what does this old fart think comments like this do? It surely does not help McCain/Bush? Fear mongering or trying to put all Muslims in one category does not improve our nation's image.

A change for what? Nothing positive I can see.

All the deluded, anti-American Obamabots on this blog seem to care more about being nice to terrorists than calling them out for the despicable cowards they really are.

Good job liberals....national security is not a popularity contest...being nice to terrorist organizations and those that support them will never ever work and you are on drugs if you think it will

Okay should we allow McCain and his cronies perpetuate the fear of terrorism as well as the apparent deep seated hate in some Americans for any religion except their own. These comments are discusting, ugly, hateful and completely unacceptable for any political figure especially from the camp or surrogats of a presidential hopeful.
McCain should publically appologize to all muslims and completely disaccoiate himself from Mr Day, the swift boaters and the 527 group.
Day is an old, die hard hateful man that has no place talking for any one except himself and then he should keep his mouth shut.

I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS POLICE THAT THINK WE CANNOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT ANYBODY ANYMORE. WHY SHOULD MCCAIN OR HIS ADVISOR APOLOGIZE? FOR SAYING WE WILL NOT BE DEFEATED BY MUSLIM EXTREMISTS? IF ANYBODY HAS A PROBLEM WITH THAT STATEMENT THEY CAN GO BACK TO WHERE THEY CAME FROM OR MOVE TO CHINA OR RUSSIA WHERE YOU ALSO CANNOT SPEAK YOUR MIND.

Does the McCain camp want more war? Making jokes about killing Iranians and now this? Is he that blind to the tragedy of war? As a military man and POW he of course shouldn't be, but how he's acting now makes me wonder how much he remembers that war is nothing to joke about or to provoke enemies for no good reason.

The people in the middle east want us to leave them alone. Not kneel to them. I spent some time there in the 80s and this guy is trying to use fear to push McCain and the Republican's agenda.

"The threat we face is fear, from fear mongering leaders."

Yeah, fear mongering is beheading infidals. Get real, pull your heads out of the sand, and stop letting PC blind you to the obvious, like who the enemy is and who want you dead.

the mccain supporters or camp,every time they see their candidate loosing ground or not getting enough attention,they always come with these kind of fear statements just to keep up with Obama.

So, this guy won a medal of honor and should therefore be allowed to say stupid, ignorant, and borderline racist things and get away with it?

Finally. Someone who calls it the way it is! As long as Americans deny the reality of the threat, we are at great risk.

Gina,
who was the bomber in the Oklahoma City bombing???

A young white American guy....

does that mean that all young white American guys are terrorist??

Look around in Iraq and Iran and most of the Middle East. You don't see many Christians getting to practice their faith there. If they do, it is done in secret or they have to PAY .. Muslims can practice theirs here. That's the big difference in Religion, not Race, in the Middle East. Religion is a very BIG part of their government. America has some things that do not need to be changed, but perserved.

********************************************

YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE IGNORANT MENTAL STATE OF THIS OLD GUYS.

WHY CAN'T THEY JUST DROP DEAD?

GIVE THE YOUNG ONCE AN OPPURTUNITY TO HAVE A MORE FORWARD MOVING COUNTRY AND DON'T GET STUCK IN THE ICE AGES.

STOP THE MADNESS. VOTE OBAMA.

Day is NOT truthful; the swift boat attacks were total lies!

The ignorance, racism and arrogance of that segment of society revealed here in support Bud Day's smear of an entire people and religion is eventually going to bring this country down., not "The Muslims."

you know what i think is ironic? that a bunch of islamic radical extremists attacked the twin towers and suddenly all and only muslims are terrorists in the eyes of americans. but the fact that our government goes over to afghanistan and iraq and drops bombs on innocent people is "defending the country" and NOT terrorism? if WE think THEY are terrorists, don't you think THEY think WE are terrorists? we are doing the same thing over there but probably to an even larger extent.

whatever happened to the rest of the terrorists in the world? it's NOT only muslims. colombia? israel? sri lanka? cambodia? if you dont even know what im talking about (with the exception of maybe israel, then maybe go look up some history books). do none of these places even ring a bell? terrorism is invoking fear or terror in another person. i can sure as hell bet that we are doing the same thing in afghanistan and iraq.

it doesnt matter where you're from or what religion you profess to follow. do you think that the taliban and al-qaeda are really following islam? no, they are interpreting the religion the way they want. they are using and abusing it for their own personal benefit.

Day is truthful; the swift boat attacks were total lies!

Typo Mohammed create

Do not be ignorant. Terrorists kill innocent muslims more than they do ANYONE else. Everyday you hear about the number of soldiers killed, ALONG with the innocent Muslims. What about the group of men who set that little MUSLIM boy on fire????? He's muslim and they still did it.

For the McCain camp it's a matter of expediency: there are only 2% Muslims in America, the Evangelical Christians hate those Muslims, so McCain's camp has made a tactical decision to bash the Muslims to get the Evangelicals to agree with them on something. McCain's Pastors - Rod Parsley and John Hagee - have both bashed American Muslims in their church.

Not all muslims are arabs. Most majority of muslims are non arabs. Ignorance at best.

Say you hate them all you want, but you know what? They're speaking the truth! Too bad most Americans are pathetic slobs that are too obsessed with political correctness to realize the real circumstances of any situation.

Remember that in 2000 McCain used a racial sure (which I will not repeat here) to refer to Asians. The candidate and the people around him have a history of xenophobia. It's time to join the 21st century McCain!

That man is trash.

McCain's judgement is way off the scale – in a bad way. Why is he choosing to surround himself with people such as Gramm and Day? Why is he making all those off-the-wall remarks lately too?

If he is going to make such a racists generalization, the least he could do is take off that prestigious medal around his neck before he does it.

It disgraces all MoH recipients.

McCain '08

He simply said the truth. He just failed to say radicle muslims instead of just muslims. He is a winner of the Medal of Honor and quite frankly a better americian than any of us who have not so I for one am willing to overlook a simple wording mistake.

Wow. Do we ever need a change!

Go Obama!!

Ignorant old man. The things he would say a do to win. God do like ugly.

Enough with the democrat's politically correct B.S., and it's higher concern for the sensitivities of enemies, than they are with our own soldiers who are being killed and wounded. Who in the hell do they think the terrorists are ... Eskimos?

McBush speaks with forked tongue!

WOW--TALK ABOUT RADICALS--ALL OF THE ABOVE COMMENTS
ARE EXTREME TO SAY THE LEAST. THIS ELECTION PROCESS IS
THE MOST RADICAL I HAVE SEEN IN MY LIFE TIME. ALSO THE
MOST DISHEARTENING. "ANIMAL HOUSE" WAS ONE OF THE BEST
MOVIES IN MY MEMORY, ALSO AT THE TIME IT WAS MENT TO BE
FUNNY. THE IGNORANCE OF OUR PRESENT TIMES SEEMS TO
BRING TRUTH TO PRESENT DAYS. WE ARE ALL AMERICANS. EACH NEW CITIZEN WE EMBRACE TO OUR COUNTRY IS HERE
TO HAVE BETTER THAN FROM WHERE THEY CAME FROM. WE
EXPECT A LOT FROM THEM TO JOIN US. WE SHOULD EXPECT MORE
OF OUR SELVES AS WELL. TOLERANCE IS SORLEY MISSING OF
US THAT WERE BORN HERE. TOLERANCE OF ONE AND OTHER
AND OUR NEW MEMBERS AND OUR NEW MEMBERS TO ALL OF US IS NOT TO MUCH TO EXPECT. - NAM VET IN NH--

Does Senator McCain have any young surrogates who are intelligent instead of the old geezers who come out and say stupid stuff and are obviously out of touch just like the person they are speaking for.

If this campaign is sorrounded by such ignorance what does it say about what McCain's administration would be????????? shuder!!

good grief....

Hillary supports, get over it!!!!! She lost!!!! She isn't running any more....

there were two strong canidates.....Obama and Clinton....some people were for Obama and some were for Clinton....

How does that turn into Obama dividing the party??? Why isn't it Clinton that divided the party??? Just because Clinton thought she was a shoe in for the nominee, doesn't mean that Obama some how did something wrong.....

More people were for Obama, than were for Clinton.....thank God!!!!

Move on with your life.....coulda, woulda, shoulda isn't going to work....

This is the exact type of mentality that we DON'T need.....it's become very clear that McBush has terrible judgement in the people he chooses to surround himself with......

Obama '08!!!

What an ignorant statement. I have several Muslim friends who do not agree with his remark and are the most peaceful and delightful people I have ever met.

Way to make the image of "The Ugly American" evern stronger.

Old fool. Shut up and drink your Ensure and leave the rest of things to people who actually KNOW better.

let's see what McCain is really made of – if he does not fully repudiate these harmful and hurtful and wrong remarks his true character will be shown.

That picture is to funny.

More hate mongering by fearful people who claim to be Christian. Why are they so afraid...in my opinion they are weak in their own faith.

Are these guys stuck in a time warp?

All they know is death, war and not surrendering
John and his surrogates are all about killing they are about as scarrie as the terrorist.

God help us all

Go Obama

The McCain campaign has endorsed these comments.

Enough said.

Annoy the media, vote Obama.

"He was also a member of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth " well now, a confirmed liar making bigoted remarks for McCain. What else is new?

last time I checked obama supporters that's just freedom of speech at its best!!! nothing racist about it, whether you believe it or not.

This is what we get to look forward to for another 4 years if the rednecks in this country have their way again

Read the article again, "Phantom of the Oprah". Bud Day said Muslims, not radical Islamist extremists. There is a difference. If you don't understand this, there's no hope for you.

Obama is an idiot for want to release the prisoners in G Mo. I suggest they move into his neighborhood in Chicago. Yeah that;s the ticket. Most of them should move there. The rest could go to San Frnacisco and Pelosi's Neighborhood.

Obama has never commanded anything except maybe the debate club. He has no experience. He is as green as the corn in July.

Now he has made his policy, he is going to the Middle East to tell the war lords that if they wait a few weeks and if he is elected he will pull our troops out of Iraq and let the Iranians have their way there.

He is a girlie man with no morals and no scruples either.

People only fear what they don't understand. Obama 08!

No one will vote in Nov but the extreme left for Obama and the right wing for McCain.

All the sensible voters have NO candidate in the major parties. This will be the year for "none of the above" as we vote the GREEN party, or Nader, or Barr.

Hope the new democratic party learns its lesson from this mess they created. Hating fellow democrats and insulting and debasing them AND their preferred candidate- will NOT win you their vote.

Thats the Republican campaign we all know and love ..."taking the fight right to the Muslims..err... right...umm...yeah???" John McSame

I swear its like people are surprised that the Christian right has this view.... where are the issues we dont already know?

'The Muslims' include rougly one-fifth of the World's population, Mr. Day.

Being a true patriot may comprise sacrificing for your country, but it sure as hell doesn't comprise being a bigoted idiot.

"The bottom line is this: 527 groups can do very effective, truthful things, and the Swift Boat attack was totally truthful,"

You know, one of them first senators to speak up against the antics of the "Swift Boat Veterans for Truthiness" was John McCain. Even he admitted to the attacks as being dishonest and dishonorable.

Noone who carried out the attacks in the SBVT proved Kerry to be a liar, and virtually none had first-hand knowledge of the experiences w/ Kerry either. Some of the claims were even contradicted amongst members, and w/ vets that actually witnessed the incidents.

Take your medals and go home, Mr. Day. You are a shameful man.

What an insensitive and calous statement.How can this old surrogate castigate the entire muslim world as terrorist.?Does he have a clue how many muslims there are in this country and how many more around the world ?I don't think so.Not this time old man! I do not believe Ameicans are going to fall for this fear mongering this time.Preach love and not haterd.Unity and not segragation.We are all face a common enemy and that is extremism and this swift boater is no doubt an extremist.We are tired of war.America will always remain tthe land of the free and home of the brave.

The Muslim terrorists have said that!

i agree with iraq war vet,and a muslim.bud day dishonors the medal he carries.

The epitome of hypocrisy. He was apart of Swift Boat Veterans in order to spew out lies and now he apart of another 527 to speak truth?

We respect you and your service to this country, but you have failed the test when it comes to respecting all people and fellow servicemen such as John Kerry. John Kerry wasn't hiding behind his daddy's money and influence when America called on him to defend his country like our present leader Bush. Yes, the same Bush who attacked not only John Kerry, but also John McCain during the 2000 primaries.

Sir. Your service to this country is greatly appreciated, but the content of your character is questionable.

He speaks the truth. You say "not all Muslims" hate us? Not all Muslims are out to get us? Have the Muslims denounced the extremist? I think not.
And before you get on your high horse. I have as much right to my opinion as you do yours. So get over it.

I'll see you in hell Bud Day with the rest of the terrorists.

To New Yorker Rocks guy: You do understand that cover was satire making fun of your backwards beliefs, right? Just like a lot of us thought, some people obviously didn't get it. Obama isn't the butt of the joke, YOU ARE.

This year the new democrats have proven themselves to be as hateful and as fearmongering as the Republicans.

So who can the lifelong democrats vote for?

Obama has all the negatives that McCain has- plus HE stole the nomination by playing dirty and by dividing the party and by trashing his better opponent.

The republican party needs a better candidate than McCain.

These kind of stupid comments what help extremist recruit. I hope those idiots should think hard before saying anything, or better they should get lost.

Absolute nonsense. Bud Day you are disgracing your children, grand children and great grand childgren.

Read this, Uncle Day: I Do Not Respect You Anymore. You are done as far as I am concern.

Danny Pearl

And furthermore, if John McCain does get elected, the kind of people he is surrounding himself with now are the kinds of people he will have advising him in office. You're looking at examples of his cabinet. Wake up all you whiners!

I could not care less what CAIR thinks or wants. This man is an American hero and what some radicalized muslim group thinks is irrelevant. This country does not want or need the hearts and minds of the muslim world, except on a platter in a desert. And the sooner we make that absolutely clear, the better.

Well....what's to retract from those comments?

Aren't our Jihadi terrorists killing Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan closely linked to radical Islamic terrorist groups, organizations, or clerics who clearly portray a violent and unreasonable vendetta on western infidels?

We are at work against radical Islamic terrorists–as well as any other kind.

i dont care if he did win the MOH.that doesn't give him the right to spew hate on an entire religion.he does that medal dishonor ,with his hate,for all muslims.i am ashamed ,today,and will be changing my vote for barack obama.i thought mccains military service would make him a great leader,in a time of war.but,this trash i cannot support.

I'm worried about John McCain. He surrounds himself with morons, lobbyists, liars and crooks. What happened to the straight-talking maverick of 2000?

Newsflash: not all Muslims are terrorists.
Newsflash: Christianity has had its extremist moments (anyone remember the Inquisition, the Crusades and/or the Salem Witch hunts?)
Newsflash: Religious extremism is the ultimate terrorism. Any religion.

BTW, I see Phil "Nation of Whiners" is back to being BFF and economic adviser for the McCain campaign. Some more Truth-saying, no doubt. Another flip-flop, John? Or will you just gag him so "he doesn't speak" for you?

Casey | Missouri

I might agree that there are some radical Islamic extremist terrorists who would like to see America weakened and/or defeated. But what is this about Muslims wanting us to kneel? There are a lot of Muslims that are U.S. citizens. Do they want the rest of us to kneel. Do all Muslims want us to kneel. I think that ole Bud Day speak with a predjudice over-generalize forked tongue.

Typical McCain supporter. Everything to them is black and white. No gray areas. No room for differences. All Muslims are murderous terrorists. All African Americans are radical rappers. All Native Amercians wish to scalp white men. All women belong in the kitchen, etc., etc. Now that is how Bud Day and his buddy John Mccain really think about this world and the people who live in it. Over-genealized preudjudiced categorizations. They are unable to think with any deeper,. Unable to think with any sensitivity or empathy .

It was Muslims that created 9/11. It was Muslims that destroyed the barracks in Beirut. It was Muslims that took Americans hostage in Iran. It's almost always Muslim so at some point it becomes worthless to pick the bad apples out when it's more practicle to just throw out the whole bunch. The Muslims brought this on themselves by not taking care of their own problems and now they're stuck with the stigma.

This is just another tactic that republican trying to create fears and get vote. Those extremist are killing Muslim people as well in Muslim countries. Those extremist using religions name to fulfill their ill desire. Yes Muslims are anger against USA because of their blind support toward Israel’s illegal occupations of Palestine (core issue) and now Iraq. I think USA should review their foreign policy to be neutral so that those extremist can’t use any excuse to brainwash young Muslim and turn them against USA and other Muslims.

What"s the problem, with telling the truth? that is what "they "said...........now, If you don't want to,or you are "to unwilling" to believe "them", and take "them" at their words; then "you wait" til "they" confront "you", and want to chop "your" head off....................but.myself; I'm not that dumb, or too willing, to take that chance! Speak for yourselves!

Just what is controversial about those comments by Day? Every utterance by a friend of McCain is up for controversy? Liberals grow up and get a life!

THE ONLY DEM who can lose in NOV

funny thing you talk about theocracy, because plenty of Christian groups are promoting that we should have a type of Christian regime, rather then keep church and state separated..

Why don't these old men give it up? This is totally inappropriate, and if he thinks he's helping, someone tell him the swift boat thing won't work this time.

Yup, these are the folks who would be advisors and leaders in MacBush3. I think not, the lead with there vocal cords not their minds.

Scary how Obama can fail this NOV- in a year when no Republican can win and no Democrat can fail.

But that is the price to pay for selecting the nominee who was NOT elected by the voters.

Thanks Oprah, Caroline, CNN, MSNBC, Pelosi, Dean and the DNC.

Now we true democrats have NO good choice. We will NEVER vote for the thief- the one that destroyed our party and divided the democrats.

Freedom and justice is too important to allow this travesty to go unchallenged.

This is how the old fart really thinks.. it sad, that this is the type of company that McCain Keeps.. Name calling is not going to fix the problems facing America.. Obama is not a Muslism.. McCain needs to stop spreading these rumors..... thru his friends...

Did we so quickly forget that it was the Obama campaign that prohibited women in Muslim garb from sitting behind him on stage at a campaign rally. Nobody has a monopoly on prejudice.

Fearmongering!
NOT THIS TIME!

McCain's new campaign advisor Schmidt must be so frustrated that both McCain and his surrogates keep getting off-message. Remember that they were going to relaunch and keep tighter control on their message? Instead it's like they just say any random thought that pops into their head, whether it's related to the current sitation or not. Yesterday McCain said 'we have succeeded in Iraq', today he says to expect spectacular attacks later and now this from a surrogate. So just what is McCain's current position on the Iraq situation, because his campaign is right now just putting out any old random idea to see how it goes over.

There are extremists of ALL religions (including Christian)

Is anyone trying to make this guy "kneel" in the USA? Why does he want to kill all Muslims – especially in their own homeland?

An even greater threat to the security of this country is to see the world through the rigid mind of xenophobia and military agression. I respect Mr. Day's service, and heroism, but jeez Louise, it doesn't make him an expert on geopolitics.

Let these 527s waste money on the 'fear factor' vote–it already belongs to McCain.

The Swift Boaters are a pack of rat's and liars with a political axe to grind. Every single one of them contradicted thier sworn Navy statements about John Kerry. This man is a liar. Just becuase you win a medal does not make you honest

The fact is ISLAM/MUSLIMS and Jews are used by these politicians in the last few campaigns than before; Did it help ? They should focus on IMPORTANT issues that we are facing here like Gas price, Economy, Grocery price Increase, Job loss etc., rather talking about Islam/Muslims/Jews... Shame!!!

And who took the twin towers down?? And other bombs in the New York area??? And who wants to bow down to the terrorism and have in the past? Who wants to make slaves here in the U.S. ?? Is it Ted Kennedy & Kerry,??? And now Obama.? McCain was held as prisoner, and who should understand freedom better than McCain, not Obama for sure. Obama wants to give the U.S. way in taxing us for the U.N. ect. I hope Ms. Rice could be V.P. with McCain. She is everything Obama is not, to being in the potical area and saving the U.S. freedoms. Once the freedoms are gone you will not get them back, Like Cuba and some in South America. Think careful, before you make a choice.

Geez! Just cause the guy was a POW certainly does not make him a leader or a spokesperson.

It is good to honor and respect those that serve either in justified or unjust conflicts. But it does not mean we have to make them into idols or believe every word they utter as truthful.

But.... then you read these blogs and realize the simple minded people that flock around and agree with such stupidity. Maybe we should at least have a minimum intelligence to vote. Such low-information fanatics are what the likes of Hitler in power.

One could also define Chistianity by the klu Klux Klan, which is a Christian organization. It is inaccurate to define a whole religion by a fringe group.

Shasta--That was funny..grapes.

What is the issue here? Muslims HAVE said they were going to kill us and make the USA an islamic state. Since when is stating a fact considered "controversial"?

McCain needs a better casting director for his commercials. A bunch of old geezers, led by a former member of Swift Boaters for Truth, an attack he JUSTIFIED in a recorded interview...can you say "FIRING squad?"...John's "Truth Squad" should keep to what they signed up for in this regard, which is to tout McCain's crowning credential–he was in the military and a POW.
OBAMA '08 & '12 YES WE CAN AND YES WE MUST!!!

Actually, the biggest threat to America is from radical right-wing extremists. Pity they hate this country so much.

CNN have the guts to post

is swift boating like saying John McCain was responsible for the tragedy aboard the USS Forrestal July 29, 1967 killing 134 men and injuring 161? i am just asking.
or is it like saying the truth squad is ready to release McCain's long hidden Military records?

when u r so old, is easy to be so hateful?
Jesus! You actually need Him!

Senator McDUFUS and Mr. Night are still fighting the Vietnam War. Somebody please tell them it's over! He's free in the America he did
not respect until he was captured. There's a meeting on Afghanistan
this weekend and I hope you can attend after your two year hiatus.

The democrats played with the sanctity of the vote and they manipulated the democratic process and they sabotaged their own best candidate.

Thinking this was the year that EVEN an unqualified, inexperienced, cocky, self-serving, egotistical elitist COULD win.

So much for just going to the booth and looking for the big "D" lever to pull. America is not that far left. We want Hillary Clinton. We will NOT ever vote for Obama.

Insult us or threaten us or force us- we will NOT bow down to the installed puppet nominee.

Why do people just blindly attack anything that is said (on both sides)? For those who don't really know anything about Islam – the faith advocates a permanent revolution against all non-Muslims until the whole world is Islamic. Most Muslims interpret this as a peaceful revolution. Islamic Fundamentalists interpret this as a violent revolution against all non-Muslims.

Oh yeah, the terrorists are going to get us. All this party does is launch fear bombs. I can't wait for Obama to rip McCain apart in those debates.

Obama/Sebilius 2008/2012.

That's why Obama is getting all of the attention and he isn't war monger neocons get out of office now and take Bush with you...

Obama is self-centered and only tells his people what he thinks they wanna hear.

Let's see how shrill liberals will get over this. God forbid anyone speak out even remotely against Muslims, gays, atheists, NAMBLA, and the like.

Old men with old attitudes.

I respect and appreciate what they did, but that was the past. Time to move forward and beyond Swift Boaters, hate mongers and plain old ignorance.

He is and old decrepit man just likes McCain why should we be shocked. McCain is out dated and out of touch with the rest of the USA and so is all of his inner circle

In less than 4 months, this will all be over....

Get out and VOTE people.......don't make us go through another 4 years like the last 8....we won't survive.....

What ever happened to "We have nothing to fear but fear itself"?

Obama 2008

If a Muslim had said: "the Christians have said either we kneel, or they're going to kill us." what would we label them? Extremist. This label fits both ways, ladies and gentlemen. Bud Day is an extremist and he works for McCain.

FACE it- without Hillary Clinton- the choices are dismal.

The nation is the loser in Nov.

That is what happens when the cheater wins the preliminary trial games.

The Nominee is and always WAS, Hillary R. Clinton.

Obama is an imposter who forced his way to fast track his self-important self into history.

Will NOT work.

As bad as McCain is, he is BETTER than Obama in the eyes of MOST Americans.

We are no longer concerned with your pointless war a–hole!!

Since when do Christians act like this? Does he even know one Muslim?

These men are DECADES away – much of the world is trying to unite despite differences now adays...

tell this oldies to go home. its our turn to lead our country. obama 08!!!!

This is out and out "racsim" I'm sick and tired of these old White men that think they can say and do anything Don't these idiots realize that it's not all Muslims? Don't they also know that there are Muslims with white skin?

The Obamanuts are at it again...the major reason not to vote for Obama.

Hill would have won back the Obama supporters.

Obama will never win back Hillary's people- not after the disrespect, and not being so far to the left.

Centrist trumps extremist any day.

Never Obama- he is an iligitimate installed by force and propaganda nominee.

don't be afraid you old geezers. america is changing before your very eyes. ONE AMERICA, ONE PEOPLE. unlike your beliefs.
obama 08

Bud Day also condones calling a traitor, one who made 32 propoganda films for the enemy, a 'Hero".

Sorry BUDdy, you are the worse form of enemy the united states has ever seen. I would much rather vote for a Barack Hussein Obama, who has never committed treason then a man with a proven track record of committing treason.

McCain is no hero, his acts against the USA during his time as a POW prove the exact opposite. Hero's do not compromise their oaths, nor do they degrade their country while held captive, that is what enemies do. Hero my butt!! He got shot down due to incompetence and turned on his country. That you served with him, and campaign for him only goes to prove what your values and morals are. You too are a traitor Mr. Bud!

He's NOT a Hero, He's just a ZERO

Bud Day, an old Swift Boat Liar make the news once again.

Time for the whole bunch of them to find a nice rest home with shade treea and a big front porch to rock back and forth on..............

It is amazing how political analyst sit on all of your shows and give thier opinoins on all the topics of Barrack Obama and don't anaylize this countries horrible past. To ask Senator Barrack Obama for any more history than what he has is not only funny but sad. If I recall this country it was not until National Voting Rights Act of 1965 outlawed discriminatory voting practices that had been responsible for the widespread disenfranchisement of African-Americans in the United States. So please stop asking for experience and the relating it to time served. It wasn't until 1965 that all minorities actually had the freedom to vote any way we wanted bieng republican or democrate, so for analyst like Lisa Sanchez who support thier party but not the country who created these parties stop!!! Becuase if that was you up there and they ask you about experience, I hope you pick up a history book and see that even those who had all this experience and wisdom serving all those years, that even they( our fore-fathers) made foolish choices. So change is not so bad!!!!

I'm not fooled by Obama supporters who worship his socialist ideas so much they will forgive him for Wright, Ayers and all the fear he tries to stir up about Mac being a third term Bush. Obama will ruin this country as we know it and some people are happy with that.

WOW,
and these are the people we've voted in for the last 8 years. I'm not a bit suprised why we're still in the middle east.

IGNORANCE IS BLISS, BUT IT WILL NEVER SET YOU FREE
Maybe Bud also does not speak for McCain.

Too bad the haters bashed, trashed and destroyed the one true leader. She was the HOPE of millions.

Obama will not get the votes of even his own party... much less be able to apppeal to the rest of America.

We are NOT AmeriKans just yet.

Bring back Lady Liberty and get this country back on the right path.

McCain: Go Home.

These neocons are completely ignorant. Can someone pull them off the national stage with a cain ASAP?

There is a HUGE difference between a Muslim and "radical Islamic extremists"...if that is what he meant, then that is what he should have said..not all Muslims are out to hurt someone...IGNORANCE AT ITS OLDEST....

We would now have a valid choice and a winning nominee if the DNC had not decided to fix the primary for Obama.

If only Oprah and Caroline and the media and the DNC had NOT interfered with and forced the process... we would now be rejoicing that Hillary Clinton- a dedicated servant of ALL Americans would soon take the helm.

As it stand, we must work to make her the nominee at the convention in Denver.

Never Obama... Will settle for McCain.

Bud Day would be a perfect VP candidate for McCain. He has all the qualifications of a GOP presidential and VP.

Why is the press so negative about McCain? Because he and his cronies shows themselves that way.

griff?ever feel lonely?

Kinda one of those things you think of but better left unsaid.

We do have to remember – American Islam is very different from Middleastern Islam. We are one nation under God.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

The rich white men should pull the sheets back up over their heads before the boogey men get them. BOO!

Hey Dan-

It appears you can do your own colonoscopy by just opening your eyes. McCain made the statement you quoted, but Bud Day just said 'Muslims'. Get a clue....

Another old burned out psychologically damaged POW spreading hate and fear. McCain really needs to re-examine his staff. They are giving Obama & his staff some substantial ammunition to use once they fully engage.
McCain talks about running a clean campaign while at the same time he surrounds himself with the mud slinging CREEPS from the BUSH/ROVE camp. That's OK because Mccain can dish it out but he cannot take it but Obama is going to SOCK IT TO HIM and he is going to have a melt down for all of America to see.

This guy is nuts. I hope McCain keeps him.

Not all Muslims are terrorist but a vast majority of terrorist are Muslim and since my ability is limited on who the terrorist might be I will just be suspicious of them all.

A swift-boater on a truth squad, now that's ironic.

LOL they look real upset...LOL

If the threat is from from radical Islam, then moderate Islam shares the responsibility since they don't seem to do anythings to curb the radicals. Bud Day is right. Ultimately it will be us or them.

Remy, Muslims aren't a race any more than Protestant is.

This old moron has one leg in the grave and is still preaching hate?
Should be asking god for forgiveness for all his sins.

wow... i wonder if this stupidity will get any air time? doubt it

Obama is so divisive that he is forcing life-long democrats to chose McCain over him.

Both are bad, but Obama is worse, and an installed nominee.

The democrats messed this up bad.

"Medal of Freedom"? Don't you mean "Medal of Honor"?

Keep is comming Bud, and all the rest of you morons.

Hate-mongering = An Obama presidency

Were not gonna take it...............ANYMORE!!!

OBAMA '08 + '12

It really does not make a difference what McCain (or surrogates) say or do. The media will give it very brief coverage then go directly back to hammering things about Obama that are not really an issue but if you look at themt from twenty-five different ways, under three microscopes while standing on one leg, come possibly be strecthed to be an issue.

McCain jokes about bombing people, killing people and yesterday it was reported that McCain, in the past when running for Senate, told jokes involving women being rape and beaten. If that was Obama, he would have to leave the country..

It is so ridiculous these days it is funny.

"...who received the Medal of Freedom..." should read "...the Congressional Medal of Honor". Who writes your articles, CNN? Anybody edit them?

Bud Day has done more for veterans than the entire 435 members of Congress combined - Tricare for Life, being a prime example. Those who write in to criticize need to research before you sling mud and besmirch an American hero.

I am sick and tired of senile old men sticking their ridiculous political notions into the heads of Americans.

Nominate Hillary Clinton in Denver and knock McCain out on his butt and give this country a fighting chance to move forward.

Stick with the installed puppet nominee demanded by 12 %of America and the newbies who never before cared enough to vote, and watch the chaos.

We do not want LEFTIST- we want liberal moderate democratic leaders who can appeal to moderate republicans as well.

Obama will divide the Nation JUST like he has divided the democratic party.

I guess Bud Day is the Phil Gramm of national security, completely out of touch w/ reality. McCain may want to vet Steve Schmidt, as bad of a president as Bush is, his campaign was never run this poorly.

He is right. Islamic extremism has a simple policy – you agree with them for you die. There is nothing wrong with what this gentleman has said. Look around the world, in almost all conflicts one of the participants are muslims. Why is that? We may not like the implications, but this old man is right.

I am horrified at the ignorance of my fellow Americans and more especially at their eagerness to display it.
Islam is one of the fastest growing religions in the world so it behooves us to understand it and YES even appreciate it. Fewer than one percent of its followers are fanatics and it is just plain stupid to condemm all Muslims because of them. Islam is actually a very beautiful religion if we would only take to trouble to learn about it.

Johnny Mac July 18th, 2008 3:09 pm ET

The dems are attacking another war hero.

despicable and desperate

________________

The "war hero" you speak of says ignorant and racist comments on behalf of a presidential candidate. Fair Game.

The truth doesn't hurt.....only when you lie to yourself does the truth hurt......the GOP is lieing to itself.........it has managed to deflate the economy unless you make or sell bombs and bullets.......then you are part of the 1% growth that they talk about.......so what about the rest of us.........well it is time to get the good-ole-boys off of Pennsylvania Ave........

Oh, that's beautiful. And on top of this, McCain is now trying to mock Obama for going to Iraq. McCain dared Obama to visit Iraq, and then as soon as Barak takes up the challenge and goes there, McCain starts trying to make fun of him for going there.

This is all so transparent and weak. I'm starting to think McCain doesn't even want be president. And I can't really blame him, considering that a lot of Bush's disasters are still in "seed" form, and McCain wouldn't want to have to take credit for them.

I am really horrified by the unabashed and ugly ageism that comes into play whenever John McCain or his spokesmen are in the news. Really amazing that these commenters call themselves Democrats – the caring party. Yeah, right.

So McCain has a swiftboater on his "truth squad" ... now that just has to be the most ironic thing I have heard all week.

...But what's the connection BUD? Are you saying Muslims are bad so vote McCain? What's next? Latinos are lazy? Blacks are too radical?

When does dissecting differences among friends AND enemies become a REASON to elect McCain? Or do you think that McCain is bankrupt of (good) ideas for a (new) America.

What muslims, catholics, protestants or jews feel is no reason to vote McCain. So I'll save my vote for the candidate gives me a grip on the American dream, and an America we cal all be proud of.

now they tell us to kneel ,or the'll double the price of the oil you are trying to steal from iraq.

Although he is correct in that radical Islamic extremism is a threat, it does not follow that staying in Iraq decreases that threat,

What is really pathetic is he still insists that the Swift Boaters were telling the truth when they were really exposed as a bunch of liars. Of course that was never played up by the press because it is much easier just to report the accusations than to do the research and then have to admit everything was just a bunch of hype.

See U.S. Senate candidate Al Franken's book, "The Truth" for the story of the degraceful deceit of the swiftees. who hated what Kerry represented so much that they believed their own fabrications instead of those with actual knowledge of what occured.

At least McCain's surrogates, unlike Obama's ( i.e., Jesse Jackson), don't want to "cut his nuts out!"

He may be a hero, but he's an ignorant one. I can't imagine this guy in Vietnam, not knowing or caring which Vietnamese were on our side and which were the enemy combatants. There was a difference then, just as there is now, and Bud Day's view only expresses the ignorance of a few Americans who don't/won't take the time to learn about those differences.

Everyone needs to simmer down here for a minute. Perhaps he used the word "muslims" because the people that have attacked us in the past were muslims, although extremists. I for one do not think Day meant all muslims throughout the world when he was speaking of the 'enemy.'

Maybe we could 'swift boat' Bud Day, McCain, and the rest of the group back to 'Nam. What a sorry bunch of worthless losers – even if he was decorated with many medals.

Grandpa's Unite to lead the next generation. LOL hahahahaa.
These dudes look ridiculous with their angry, old faces. Not to worry, they won't be around much longer.

Unfortunately, this man is deranged. If McCain doesn't remove him, it speaks poorly of his judgment.

That is why true democrats are wanting to bring Hillary back at the convention in Denver.

Neither Obama nor McCain are desirable.

The ONLT true, unselfish, dedicated, champion of the people is HRC.

Without her as nominee, the democratic party WILL lose in Nov, and will be destroyed for decades to come.

Poor Dan . . . you think all Muslims are the same, too, doncha? Day said "Muslims." It was the damage control guy trying to clean up the spill who said "radical Muslims." Sure it's not radical Christians?

I'm confused, the CNN report says he won the medal of freedom? What? Yet the picture says he won the Medal of Honor. Does CNN even know what a Medal of Honor is? I would be surprised if they did, yes very surprised indeed!

Ah the good old GOP scare tactics.

Now CNN is flip flopping; first McCain cries he doesn't get reported on like Obama, then all we get is what McCain said or did. Try a balance.Don't support either candidate, just report the news unbiased. That is all any of us want.

John McCain more of the same Grand Old Party = Good Old Boy's
What kind of change does anyone really expect from McCain. If McCain gets into office the same greedy people Bush has help get richer and richer (American gouging Americans). These are the same people McCain has already surrounded himself with....MORE OF THE SAME .....

Don't forget they are getting richer off of these wars while hard working americans suffer because of these old white men greed and lack of morality. It's not financially beneficial for the GOP to end these wars....

Thanks Bud, for another fine contribution to American politics. Without the success you and your like-minded Republican advocates had with the Swift Boat campaign, we might actually not be in quite such a tremendous mess as we are today. And yet for some reason, many voters will still think your insight is of some value. Maybe it's not the Muslims (does that include the many American citizens who follow Islam, yet abhor terrorism as much as you do?) we should be so afraid of.

There wasn't one ounce of "truth" to the "Swift Boat Veterans" and there is not any truth or legitimacy to this man. He and they are liars of the highest degree. The Karl Rove machine is fast at work and the only thing to compare to them is Joseph Goebbels and the "Big Lie"..."tell it long enough and loud enough and people will believe it."

Bud Day is a decorated Viet Nam vet. John Kerry is a decorated Viet Nam vet. If John Kerry's medal is bogus, then how do we know Bud Day's medal (or any medal awarde in Viet Nam) isn't bogus?

Being retired military, I agree with the senator, he knows what fanatics are like. Muslims is a a way of life thats not like our way it's their way or else. They do not except other religions, they have committed an act of war on us, so we have defend our selves or else.

Again...
McCain and Obama are just not viable candidates for MOST Americans.

Bring back Hillary Clinton and give this country a fighting chance to succeed.

We want the MIDDLE GROUND.

I hate extreme positions.... it doesn't matter left or right.

I want the person who can govern all people and lead from the middle ground where all of America meets.

hurry-up debates..

McCain's campaign is failing! And that's OK with me.

The Straight "Fear" Talk Express coming to a town near you.

YOU DONT SCARE ME! . . . YOU IDIOT!

PUMA people where are you? You will fit in good with your new party. Both of you are full of HATE.
Obama08 with or without the PUMA people

PLEASE PLEASE do not apologize either Sen McCain or Mr. Day. I am soooooooooooooooooo sick & tired of everybody apologizing for any & everything that the media makes into an Obama insult I could just spit. Obama apologizes for nothing & neither should McCain.

Muslims are bad people out to get us. Yet, it was a Christain President that lead a Christian army that caused the death of over 800,000 Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan alone.

Bud Day is right. All those Muslims in Vietnam held him as a POW.

Thousands of Turks died in Korea with the Christians.

AND it is a Muslim in Saudi A. that our good old President goes to every year and kisses his face.

Old fools.

McCain mistakes are becoming over the top. Another thing can McCain make a speech pointing out his plan without attacking Presidental Elect Barack Obama. Today McCain is attacking Obama's plan to take a trip to Iraq and the other countries. McCain is using pshycology by repeating himself 2 -3 times a pshycology used on the minds of people to get the brainwash or point to stick. Now my opinion of McCain about the trip is that he should of took the high road in congratulating Obama's efforts. McCain seem to never take the high road instead he come of as a god attacking everything Obama attempt to do. He's DAM IF HE DO OR DAM IF HE DON'T. What a ignorant Senator!!!!!!!!! OBAMA JAN. 20, 09.

The Obamatons breathing fire right now should go to Iraq or any other Middle East country and see and hear for yourselves how much we are liked or disliked over there. What a naive lot.

Wow! This is an old angry geezer. This Former retired colonel is very ignorant. What do you expect from someone his age. All Muslims are not terrorists. My God, he is back in the sixties like his comrade John McCain. Obama is not going to have to say anything else. McCain and his "good ole boys" big mouths are going to lose the election for him. All these grampa men need to shut-up with their superior than thou selves! Please CNN, do not post another old geezer comment from these senile men.

these people just NEED to hate someone – get over it. It a rediculous statement to say "the Muslims" anything. Not all Muslims are the same. Idiot!

Isn't that true?

Don't radical Islamist extremists clearly state that?

You know... death to America. Death to the great Satan.... anyone who is NOT Muslim is an infedel...

Did they NOT state that they would bring us down in Iraq?

Theocracy is NEVER the way.

Church and State MUST be kept separate.

Who wants Islamic rule, Sharia Law, and brutally enforced worship of a certain God in a certain way by ALL of humanity?

Not this true democrat for liberty and freedom of religion and freedom of speech.

Obama seems willing to abandon both just so HE can be the Supreme Leader- after all he is infallible and has perfect judgement.

What is this, "Fear Friday"? First McCain talking about spectacular attacks during the election, now this windbag telling us all muslims want to kill us. Talk about what really matters, like how I'm going to be paying off my student loans for the next 30 years just so I could get a decent job.

You really have to wonder if some of these Obama supporters weren't also dancing in the streets right after 9/11.

Typical FEAR MONGER politics. America, I have one question: will you continue to elect your leaders based solely on FEAR based on untrue propaganda? Show some backbone people.

Isn't it great that old people should just go away? You people are scary!

Are we now scared to even speak the truth? Are we supposed to make everyone happy or not speak?
Can anyone imagine an Obama Presidency when everyone is scared to say anything? Good Grief!

This guys older an dumber than McCain...Now thats something. Are we scared now.....

WAKE THE HELL UP AMERICA!!!!!

John McCain can distance himself or denounce the comments made by his friends, but make NO MISTAKE that these are his friends adn they are only saying what McCain cannot say himself if he has any hope of getting elected in November.

DO NOT BE FOOLED that he does not believe the same as they do. If he were not a candidate he would be saying it himself. BUSH and McCain......one and the same.

McCain is no less dangerous, even more so, because he has a brain.

Not a surprising comment from the party of the 19th century

Do you "Arab Haters" not realize that the Muslim and Christian religions are extremely similar on many different levels, and that is why the extremists are so at odds over who is right and who is wrong? They are essentially the same religion, only one of them became the strongest after the Crusades and the other did not, which is why Christianity is the "popular" religion. It won out. Read your History people

Who is going to protect the "Truth" from these "Truth Squads." They did a filthy hatchet job on Sen Kerry's military record now they are trying to scare up more rants and ravings. I'm a retired military vet and these guys shame me. Now naturally I'm not as old as these crypt keepers are but I'm white and I have two sons in the military with three tours in Iraq between them. I was in during the first Persian Gulf War, stationed in Saudi. These old jet jocks during Vietnam (I was also in during Vietnam) are kind of clueless as to the Middle East, or even a sense of fair play. It really is dispicable for any military vet to cast dispersions on another military vets career as long as they were both awarded honorable discharges. Military service being denigrated for political advantage is the same horror to me as someone burning the American Flag. Lower than low!

wow its seems everyday, someone in the McCain camp says something totally ignorant. People get a clue, what you are seeing is the real deal here. Same on crap...just like Bush.

no more.

Barack Obama for President of the United (Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Atheist and whomever) States of America!

One America!

If the McCain campaign thinks this sort of strategy will win in November, it is very misguided. McCain got the nomination becasue he was seen as more level headed and in touch with the concerns of voters. After he gets the nomination he reverts to Rove-style tactics? If he keeps it up until November, he has no shot.

From someone who has known McCain for a very long time. Is that what he thinks of all Muslims? Because not all Muslims are like those we are fighting and it is very dangerous to group people together.

Oh my god HERE WE GO AGAIN FEAR FEAR FEAR listen up america most of you voted for bush out of fear dont make the same mistake again and yes you should be in fear if you vote mccain because we would probabaly end up in ww3 wake up america their starting in vote obama 08 for peace and prosperity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is what you get with the Republicans....fear, hate, lies, hypocrisy. I hope the voters are paying attention.

These old men and their fading glory need to go away. In a few years, their ilk will be off the planet and a new generation can bury their outdated ideas and cold war rhetoric.
Their time is over.
A new generation is rising without their bigotory and penchant to promote fear.
There way of life as they idealized it in the1950's is over and they dont like it.
Tough

Well Radical Islamic Extremists did fly planes into the Twin Towers, or is my believing that it was not our goverment include me in the low informed, racially prejudiced and ignorant Americans that should not be allowed to vote in Election 08.

I speak for myself, and I will not kneel for any country or man on earth. Iwill saulte the flag of the USA, and I will praise our son's daughters and ask God to watch over them. AMEN

I agree.

Who wants to live under a theocracy? Obama?

Who wants sharia law?

Who gets upset at political cartoons?

How unfortunate that he is spending his golden years in a cloud of ignorance, hate and fear.

Talk about out of touch old-timers still running the last campaign! Not this year, my Swift Boat Buddy. Retire in peace and QUIET, you've earned it.

I AM FED UP WITH HATE AND FEAR MONGERING. THE PEOPLE THAT SPOUT THESE LIES AND HATE NEED TO STOP RUINING THE UNITED STATES!

Obama a practicing Christian is also not advocating that we kneel before Muslims. John Maccain has become so desperate now that Obama is going away briefly. he has stepped up his negative attacks.

Yes, let's keep giving McCain, his surrogates and the rest of the dirty bunch more media coverage so that we are more aware than we already are how inept, misguided and unqualified they are for anything but the next remake of Walt Disney's "The Apple Dumpling Gang".

Such an ignorant thing to say. I guess these guys don't mind insulting the very Iraqis they must depend on for their failed policies in Iraq to have any hope.

July18, 2008
ABC News’ Z. Byron Wolf reports from Capitol Hill:

The McCain campaign criticism of Sen. Barack Obama’s hearing record on Capitol Hill led us to put the shoe on the other foot.
It turns out that presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain, has attended even fewer Afghanistan-related Senate hearings over the past two years than Obama’s one. Which is a nice way of saying, McCain, R-Ariz., the top Republican on the Senate Armed Service Committee, has attended zero of his committee’s six hearings on Afghanistan over the last two years.

Move over McCombover...let REAL MEN take over!!!

I'm all for Obama and I would vote for Ghengis Khan before I would ever again vote for a republican, however there is much more in the Koran about killing infidels, (non muslims) than there is about getting along with them. There is some truth to Days comment this time.

He is just stating what the muslim extremists said in2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2007 and again in early 2008.

Nothing new here.

If you don't believe me, then do a little research.

A campaign that is made up of old people what do u expect?
Mcsame = Old Man
Charlie Black= Old Man
Budd= another Old man

These people need a to take some meds.

"The Muslims have said either we kneel, or they're going to kill us." - Bud Day “The threat we face is from radical Islamic extremism," is the clarification from McCain spokesman Michael Goldfarb.
TGIF! Happy Hour must have come early today for the McCain talking heads or they are indeed morons. Bud makes up a statement, a McCain communicator re-frames the fabrication, and that is continuing saga of the McLame campaign. It never offers hope or solutions just criticism and sarcasm. Grumpy old men need not occupy the White House.

Really tired of seeing people dealing with the world using their prejudice and global ingnorance instead of with their brains. Can't wait for some people of intelligence to represent the United States in the world.

This Is Another Sign Of A Dying Mccain Campaign!

wow....busy day for McCain....
To bad none of it is good....

how can ANYONE actually vote for this person......

somewhere, there is a village missing their idiot......from the looks of things, there are several.....

exaggerating the truth is a lie
misrepresenting oneself as an 'expert' is a lie
taking comments out of context is a lie

this idiot is doing all of the above

however, i think we know there are enough stupid Americans that will believe him and that will vote because of what he says

Will somebody get this old bird off the stage?

what good can you expect from this idiot???

Devoid of ideas or real solutions FEAR CURD is a staple for the ignorant sheeple base of the Reich Wing.

So Impotent
So incompetent
So Irrelevant

When did the Muslims say that "We kneel or they are going to kill us?"; and where was it said?. Was it said by all the Muslims? Just curious.

This is real fearmongering by extremists who are desperate and will say anything to willify muslims and get votes, McCain should condemn this statement but then he may like it so he can please people like Haggie

If Obama the former playground supervisor gets elected we'll all be issued prayer rugs anyway.

LOL.............I know I shouldn't be laughing at this old guy but is he serious?..........McCain's old war buddy was joking,right?

He's trying to get the uneducated ignorant narrow minded white vote. Hate everyone who's not a straight gun toting white person.

He speaks the TRUTH! America better wake up and smell the camel dung before it's too late.

America goes from one race to another when it comes to racism. We need to stop the ignorance and unite under a real Christian country, Muslims in Iraq never did anything to us. I am tired of Bush and Mccain we need to out these fools and have 16 years of Democrat control with Barack and Hillary. Let's Roll

McCain also said that we can expect hundreds of wonderful suicide bombers to attack and the damage from the explosions will be lovely. Most pressingly though, McCain called for stupendous efforts to fight off these phenomenal terrorists.

It's good to see McCain is using the Word-A-Day calendar I gave him for the 4th of July.

@Dan, apparently you don't read b/c this is what the article said...Asked to respond to Day's comments, the McCain campaign issued a short statement from spokesman Michael Goldfarb.

“The threat we face is from radical Islamic extremism," he said.

Which means good ol Bud didn't say this, the McCain campaign issued this statement after the orginal statements had been made

What's wrong with people speaking their minds, obama supporters? The last time I checked we still have freedom of speech, but if Obama gets elected im sure that right will be taked away from us.

Seems like birds of a feather do flock (and grow terribly senile) together.

Freedom of speech is no longer a right. Must we continue to bow down to political correctness? Next we will have to bow to Muslims if someone does not take a stand. GOD Bless Bud Day!!!!!

McCain and Day: Please shut up. You're giving us old people a bad name.

A more fitting name for them should be:

Swift Boat Veterans for the killing of truth.

Sorry guys, I appreciate your service to the country but, you don't nor have you ever spoken for this vet.

One can hardly expect someone behind the Swift Boat slander to be truthful about anything. The only question I have is: do these people simply believe their own lies as soon as they spout them, or do they actually realize that they are lying through their teeth about absolutely everything?

Gotta love the Republicans.... haha

Is everyone connected with the mccain camp, as old as dirt??? And do they have any inspring to say, maybe something uplifting for the country, something to move this country in a new direction??

PS...
That picture looks like an ad for a retirement home.

BARACK THE VOTE!!!!!!!!
BARACK / SEBELIUS 08

Oh, just so all of you know......there is a difference between Muslims and radical Islamic terrorists. Of course uneducated people do not believe this.
There are thousands of innocent Iraqi citizens that were killed in this war as well.

But unfortunately, most of our society believes our lives are more important than theirs because they are Muslim. sad – so sad

Impossible for the repubs to tackle the issues. Why?
Because they have failed.
Now they are spreading fear and scare tactics on a grand scale.
When all else failed for the repubs, fear is the only motivating factor that lead to hate and demonizing your opponents.

But I am doubtfull it will work this time, not after the last 8 years of the repubs rule. No more repubs this year.

Go Obama go.

Obama 08 & 12.

If Obama made any of the multiple errors that have come out of the McCain campaign this week it would be repeatedly blasted into our living rooms on a continuous loop. McCain should stop complaining about the press paying more attention to Obama. If anyone was paying attention to his campaign they would realize it is a complete mess, just like how the republicans our leaving our great nation after 8 years of incompetant rule. Its time for someone new to takeover.

THE OLE BOY NETWORK AT IT AGAIN.

FEAR MONGERING THEIR WAY TO THE PRESIDENCY..

THESE GUYS ARE ACTUALLY COMICAL.

A BUNCH OF GRANDPA'S STUCK IN THEIR WAYS.

OBAMA 08

A FRESH BREATH...

Oh and lets not forget that Oslama is NOT going to pull the troops out of the middle-east, just move them over to another country. Can you say the 3rd war with the middle-east?

McCain is the biggest threat to the United States and the World.
And to Griff, Arabs don't want what you have, they want us to leave them alone. They want peace and not an invasion of their nations by a people that don't believe they way they do.

So is that what "the Muslims" said? Hmm. Over the past twenty-five years I've met thousands of Muslims from all parts of the world and I have never heard one who said that. It's not in the Koran and Muhammad didn't say it, either.

We have suffered for eight years under the reign of one ignorant administration. Let's learn from our mistakes and not elect another.

And Mr. Day–Maybe you should actually talk with some real live Muslims and find out what they really say. Just check out your local mosque. I promise they won't bite.

America has a bunch of idiots to contend with.mcWAR and his surrogates should eat their heads.

"and the Swift Boat attack was totally truthful,"

Perhaps. I find truth in the notion that being shot down and captured makes you a failure rather than a hero.

What about what he said is untrue; it is not fear mongering to point out the obvious. Liberals want to ignore the bad men and hope they go away. They tell us not all Muslims are bad, I beleive that is true. Not all Nazi's were bad either but in war there is no way to determine which is which.

To Griff,

With all do respect, have you ever been to the Middle East? Before you make judgements about others, let us look at the extermists in this country – the Olympic Bomber, the Oklahoma City bombers. They too filled with a "hot bed of anger."

WOW, McCain puts one of the Swiftboaters on his "truth squad" – and despite the fact McCain is vet and has spoken out against those who would question the military service of our honored veterans! That is just priceless.

Can someone please give these people a "surge" of common sense?

"the Muslims have said either we kneel, or they're going to kill us." McCain, let say it another way.....“The threat we face is from radical Islamic extremism. " It is the same inference, but McCain's verision "DOESN'T" upsedt the Muslim community. Just another aim of practical politics to alarm the populace with a series of hobglobin words.

The truth hurts

nitwit

Wow!! Obviously, there was a meeting at McCain HQ last night where they decided that Johnny Boy's declaration of victory in Iraq yesterday might make everyone too warm, fuzzy and safe-feeling to want to vote for a Republican, so they resolved to get out there today and scare the Hell out of everyone about terrorism.

First Johnny Boy with his warnings of "spectacular" acts of terrorism in Iraq, and now this cretin Bud Day demonizing the entire Muslim world with a broad brush.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IS MEANT WHEN SOMEONE OBJECTS TO THE "POLITICS OF FEAR"! Right out of the Karl Rove playbook!

Please, America: Don't fall for it this time!

From the Party of Family Values...........

CNN do your job. Phil Gramm and Granpa McSame have kissed and made up. Can't wait for America a country of Psychotic Whiners Part II.......
Dem/08

Make sure you take it in context. Also, he was awarded the Medal of HONOR, not Freedom. The Medal of Freedom is for civilians.

Angry old white men....I hope this time the American people will say enough is enough of this kind of ignorance that breeds hatred. I also hope McSame makes a definitive statement about this idiot as well as this kind of campaigning. And, Congress should have the guts to shut down these 527 groups.

WOW the ignorance of the posting here. I guess none of you really read the article, typical dems. He said that, "The threat we face is from radical Islamic extremism." Not all Muslims like the way you try to twist it. You people make me sick. Why don't you all just leave the country, we would have a much better place to live in. I know, you can move to the middle-east and hang out with all the nice Muslims. That is until they rape and murder you.

We are ready for truth. Big lies worked in 2004, in 2008 they will work no more.

Don't get it twisted...Some people will actually fall for ads like this...They wouldn't do it if it didn't work to some extent...I'd love to believe that people are smart enough not to fall for the fear-mongering tactics...but I wouldn't be realistic...

Please be smart, people...

Griff July 18th, 2008 3:05 pm ET

One thing you can be sure of. Electing Borack Obama, into any High Office, would be the most stupid thing, they have ever done….

-–
No you have that backwards. It would be the best thing for this country. Your guy, McCain would be most stupid thing they have ever done.

He's become the laughingstock.

Just go away

Bunch of morons and hate cow boys,

There is a difference in this election. You've got the candidate of fear or the candidate of hope. I don't know about you all, but I'm tired of the war mongers continually beating the drums of war.

Wow, is it just me or am I having flashbacks from 2004?

LOL – I can't believe the GOP plans to use the SAME tactics to win this election, especially when McCain promised to run a more respectful campaign. What a joke!

Obama 08'

Is there no end to the Swiftboaters indecency?

Please, for our sake Americans – get out there and VOTE in November. The Republican dirty tactics machine is just revving up, and you better believe that they will be out there on Election Day trying to throw monkey wrenches into the ballot boxes .

GET OUT THERE AND VOTE IN OVERWHELMING NUMBERS SO THEY CAN'T MESS THIS ONE UP!!!!

Fear monger is what fear monger does. Will the republicans ever learn. They try to scare the american people into voting for them.

Mr. McCain, when General Wesley Clark made the comment that just because you were shot down doesn't make you a good president.....he was right! You don't have to have serve in the military or get shot down or visited the middle east to be a good president......just ask McBush and the others.

You republicans are always trying to use the fear tactics to get votes.

Sorry, but OBAMA will be president! The american people can't stand another moment with this administration or the republicans.

Another Antique Swift Boat punk is taking on water ond slowly sinking like the American economy into the sunset...

Wow! This was no-mistake remember McWar said last week he wants to send more cigarettesto Iran to kill them all. McWar really said that people.

Mean-while back at McWar’s Iranian death camp, McWar pushes his final solution for all Persians and Iranians.

The Mc Pol Pot Regime has a new plan for Iran
McWar now wants to commit genocide on all Iranians and Persians. His new plan includes nicotine gas chambers and giant potash plants for there burned up bodies. This man does not care about human life at all. Just his family fortune and his wealthy lobbyist friends

Would someone please tell McBush to just give up. Its over. He can't win.

Can you Senile? Just like Grand Pa McCain. zzzzzz

I wonder just how much all of you who are labeling this coment as 'hate' truly understand how Islam is taught in most of the world.

Just because you don't want to believe that forced conversion is an integral element of Islam, doesn't mean it isn't.

I can't imagine anything more hypocrital than a Swiftboater professing to be against unfair attacks on anyone's military service.
God don't like hypocrites and Mr. Day is going to find that out one of these days. Hope you like it hot, Bud.

Yeah, dude. "Muslims" are out to get us. Let's re-open Manzinar and lock them up.

McWarmonger.

"Asked to respond to Day's comments, the McCain campaign issued a short statement from spokesman Michael Goldfarb.

“The threat we face is from radical Islamic extremism," he said."

...What? What kind of response is that? Am I missing something? It's like saying "What do you think about the price of grapes?" Answer: "Grapes cost money"....okay.

im so through with this election.. can november please hurry up and come so i can cast my vote for the best candidate of the united states!?!?

OBAMA 08

Speaking in a general disrespect manner about any group/people who are not like you is pure ignorance!!

I'm more pissed off that McCain has a Swift Boater on his "Truth Squad." I respected the man in 2000, but he has made too many deals with the devil to satisfy his presidential ambition. McCain is a man who should shun those who attack the military service of others.

Ignorant Moron!

What does that have do with the Iraq war? Nobody there was threating to attack us. No of the 9/11 attackers were from Iraq. There was no Al Queda in Iraq until we got there. Thank you Bud for your services in defending this nation but Please let Bud go home and sit on the porch and sip some lemonade.

We are one nation under God, God is for all people, we are all the children of God. My fellow Americans please do not let Republicans divide us by race, religion,gender,age we are better than that.

What a piece of garbage. I respect other military vets (active or retired) but revoke any appreciation for what he did for this country (if anything–let's do a little research on his 'swift' record). Bud Day's service means nothing to me. Shoulda kept your ignorance to yourself.

This comment does not surprise me coming from a McSame surrogate as they want to win on fear tactics as that is all they have to offer.

Dr Phil is also back so he can say we are whinners again.

Give it up McSame...we don't want you!!!!!!!

Welcome to the Republican party, my friends...we are full of hate, ignorance, and deceitfulness.....and oh yeah, we can't read...

If those radicals really hate America as McCain wants us to believe, how come it is easier for our soildiers to walk up and down their streets than it is for them to get across the Atlantic. Reality is that they hate how the U.S is supporting Israel, even though we know Israelites murdered lots of them and seized their land. But we expect them to be quiet.

What's next from this bunch?

Check back next hour!

Bless his service to this country of ours. Much respect to Bud Day. But, His statements are that of old school thinking and not all Muslims are out to get us. Just fader for the right wing neo cons.

It says Medal of Freedom in the article, yet their is a photo of him with the Medal of Honor – the highest award in America. What kind of reporter could get this wrong?
This guy fought for the right for all of you to make your ignorant comments........

sorry JOHN, we aren't fighting the entire muslim world, we're fighting a small group of people who killed 4000 of our people. at least obama has it right, we need to catch osama bin laden, not wipe out an entire race of people.

This has got to stop. Yes, the terror groups are RADICAL Islamists. Not all Muslims are radical. We have great American Muslims right here in the U.S.

His statement would infer that ALL Muslims feel the same about the US. People, I fought in the Gulf War with several Muslims. They prayed to Allah everyday and picked up an M16 ready to defend America. He would have had my back in an attack as I had his. We were both AMERICAN soldiers.

Did he have some feelings about fighting Muslims? Of course, but he also knew he was American and had to follow the orders handed down to him.

This is what is wrong with America. We tend to lump all into one group. Let's make sure we distinguish Radical Islamic terrorist vs just people who worship in the Islamic faith. Muslims come in all nationalitites, inclduing Americans (I work with a white guy who is Muslim).

There he is again–Bud Day–of the Swift Boat liars, part of McCain's so called "Truth Squad" (They do love their slogans.) Just goes to show the quality of the people who advise McLiar. The vial lies against John Kerry, in 2004, a war hero who came back and protested another stupid war, were sickening and now they are at it again. I hope the people won't continue to be fooled by these charletans.

"...the Swift Boat attack was totally truthful." That statement by itself is a flagrant lie. Who's he trying to kid?

I predict that mean-spirited liberals will jump all over this guy in a spasm of self-righteous political correctness. Speaking of mean spiritedness (and I see that that is a basic characterist of liberals...), now I know why Michelle Obama said that America is a mean spirited country. She's been hanging out with nothing but liberals all these years. Ohhhhhhh....

"Changes you'll never believe!"

The dems are attacking another war hero.

despicable and desperate

Be careful what you wish for...I knew as soon as the media starts to focus on MCCain people will start to know the many gaffes and that he does not have any policy for Americans

Why are military veterans getting involved in political campaigns?! They use their service as a wedge to advance political views, this goes against the honor and duty of the military and should be seen as a disgrace to all Americans in uniform.

The Democrats need to enjoy the next few months because there is no way Obama is going to be elected. His radical/racist connections will come back to haunt him. The polls are showing a close race and Obama is declining.

to campaign for McCain

Anyone who votes for this war monger and his rant every day about victory deserves to wallow in the misery and increased terrorism the Bush administration has caused the last 8 years
Anyone who supports him and Bushs immoral and illegal war. Take a close look at the next vet whose face is burned beyond recognition because Bush decided to go into war for his own selfish reasons *Oil and revenge for Sadam* for nearly killing his daddy, over 4000 troops killed, thousands maimed for life. 200000 innocent iraqis killed and 2 million displaced and then ask yourself if you even have a conscience to support MCBUSHs continuing the war
How many more honorable troops have to die and be maimed , how many more innocent iraqis in the name of McSames so called excuse *Victory*
Anyone in that administration who supported this immoral war and continues to and that includesMCBush Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and yes even pretty face Rice does not have a moral fibre in their body...that may seem harsh but its REALITY ....
kudos to anyone hopefully Obama who steps up to the plate and tries to end this war bc its morally responsible that not one more troop die in this FIASCO.

“VENGEANCE IS MINE”, sayeth the Lord. From Leviticus in the Old Testament

By the way, those are some of the angriest at and bitter faces I’ve seen in a long time n that picture. Put a smile on your face, grandpa darling. At least we still have enough Social Security and Medicare (good socialist programs!) for your generation…I hope it’s the same when its my turn. So turn the frown up side down .

You see. I told you that John McCain and all of the other POW's who support him and the war are war mongers. That's all they know. They are thinking in the past. That's normal for them. I have no problem with that but I do have a problem with them always wanting to fight. Fighting is NEVER the answer however this country has to protect itself. But come on, these old men need to stop and think about trying to set an example before they leave this world. GEEEEZZZZZ......

I guess McCains personal rev. wright had to make their appearance at some point.

I don't judge McCain because of this guy just as I don't judge Obama for Wright.

keep giving these people the microphone...they only benefit the Obama campaign. There are many new truths people like this need to start accepting...starting with the old scare tactics will no longer work except on the ignorant. Instead of trying to change their minds we took a new avenue...we brought in new voters far more educated and more open to the reality of living in today's World. Old solutions no longer work.

Mccain Has The Same Belief. . . They Are Hoping For More Attacks So We Can Stay At War! Even After Mccain Claims We Have Succeeded!

Trouble is everyone knows how well Mr. Day's 527 group manipulated the voters in 2000 and 2004. In speaking with voters, I have found not one voter liked feeling they were played like a piano. No one likes to feel manipulated. It's 2008 Mr. Day. Your game is up and you are out of time. Furthermore, your candidate Mr. McCain is out of gas.

Would someone please give Mr. Day a rocking chair and a piece of wood to whittle.

Lying sacks of snot. This means Bush is going to have the CIA fake up some more terror attacks so McDumb can have a chance. Day is an example of the kind of lazy shirtbag that lost VietNam for us.

Love the scare tactics. Playing off American Fear to sway voters. Then of course what better then to follow up a prediction with a stupid stunt like this one. Republican Election Strategy. Scare you into voting republican...

Not anymore.
How low will he stoop before this is over.

Can someone make these old, tired, creepy, crazy war mongers go away....wake me up when this nightmare is over on Nov 5!

No disrespect but do we really want to leave the coutry in the hands of a few old farts that think of internet as an underground organization

we need to put all these old guys McCain, Gramm and now this nut, into a home for seniors before they get us all killed and run this economy into the ground. This generation wants to get past the Vietnam era the cold war era and move on with our lives.

One thing you can be sure of. Electing Borack Obama, into any High Office, would be the most stupid thing, they have ever done....

Thats the truth squad loool woooww...just another day in the life of an american muslim, dealing with idiots

and I finally thought living here would be safe for me...I guess not if John McCain is President!

Any time an organization or person has to keep saying how truthful they are, methinks they doth protesteth too much. Sort of like how dictatorships like East Germany, North Korea, China,and the Congo always put "republic" or "democratic" in their names.

Swift Boat. Old as swift.

Okay, how is this different from what Bush has said?

Why is everyone upset? He did not mention anyone by name.

McCain and his band of old ignoramuses

This senior citizens need to chill, why are the lose anyway they need to be a the nursing home and monitored so they do not hurt themselves.

The question is: Is Bud Day now swiftboating the McCain campaign from within?

Not that I don't trust Bud....................BUT................if Bud is quoting "THEY" .........just who is "THEY "??? If you are going to make comments that could infuriate muslim's in this country and around the world....He Had Better Know whom he is quoting....and....WHO that individual(s) is. Bud the voter today is asking questions like NEVER BEFORE. YOU CANNOT SHOOT FROM THE HIP AN LONGER. WE ARE DEMANDING TRUTHFULNESS.

Just another old man losing his bearings

Bud need to shup up you old fool

The Fear-mongering Express stricks again.

This guy is an idiot, but of course what can you expect, he's a friend of John McCain's who has made disgusting jokes about other people. Here is the disgusting comments he thought was funny: But of course CNN will keep this disgusting comment quiet.

"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno".

War and hate mongers...

The threat we face is fear, from fear mongering leaders.

Senile Old Men speaking for a senile old man running for President. Yes, their heroes but even heroes get TOO old.

The 1960's were such a time of hope for this country.

It's sad to see that the group of people that had stood up for a greater vision of what we could be are now a bunch of fear mongering angry old men.

We can do better. Vote Obama and end the fear!

Bud Day. Hate spokesperson. Fear monger. Extremist.

It's statements exactly like this that show a need for a new diplomatic approach that Obama will provide.

McCain is on a rolllll today!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everybody be afraid!!!! PATHETIC!!

Someone has got to tell this moron that not all Muslims are extremists and that the U.S. is dependant on improving our image in the Arab World.
We need all the allies and support we can get in the Muslim World – NOT to fall into the stupidity of that statement and get into a religious war like the Crusades. This statement is exactly what our enemies want to hear and helps them recruit. Moron of the year award to the McCain camp.

very ignorant of him!

Something I would expect from that side. It seems like all of McCain's ads are more attacks on the other side and less of what he can do. While I do expect some attacks, this is just dumb.

This is why Obama gets my vote, he is so much more diplomatic.

You know, I used to ask if the McCain campaign could go one day without making some sort of mistake.

Now I'm going to start asking if they can go one day without making multiple mistakes...

This is really getting silly.

Muslim comment is something racial, I believe.
Why do CNN promote this kind of ideas in USA?

Really? and just when I was beginning to believe Drew Griffin was our major threat. Ha Ha Ha

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!

These people are all truly evil... after 8 years of this crap can we please get these simple minded ignorant idiots out of office?

He needs a hood and a white robe. A brown shirt under the robe would go nicely too.

This is McCain's intolerate, dull as hades, America I suppose.

We have had enough hate.

How about hearing from the Budists, The Hindus, the Christian radical skin heads. I think this is getting rediculous and all muslims are not out to get us! Hope America takes this with a grain of salt. They have nothing else. AND the swift boaters are starting to look really OLD!!!

This Guy spoke thetruth.... The Arab's want what you have....
No Controversy! Only to people who believe in some God...
The Middle East is a 'Hot -Bed of Anger'.....

Wow...the ignorance. The fear mongering. It will not work. Not this time. Not this year!

Barack Obama for President of the United (Christian, Muslim, Jewish , Atheist and whomever) States of America! One America!

fear-mongerers....hateful repugs
