[...] last touch of crazy, congressman says "Liberals hate real Americans." Honestly I don't hate many people in the world right now. But I will laugh [...]

I guess we should all be "true Americans" like the KKK and the neo-Nazis? Hopefully, between Hayes and Bachmann, the Dems pick up two more seats in the House.

McCain accidentally agreed: Western Pennsylvania Is Racist

then catches himself – "Western Pennsylvania is the most patriotic, most god-loving, most, most patriotic part of America,"

I don't fault the G.O.P. for rallying the "real" Americans. Honestly, that's all they got left. It's either that or go home.

The republicans have divorced from the party ideals. The culture of corruption we have witnessed in these past 8 years, supports this statement. Mark Foley, Ted Stevens, Larry Craig and the list goes on.

Have Americans finally gotten fed up with Conservatives' 20 year old attempt to paint anyone who disagrees with them as "the Enemy." Can you picture this behavior during the Continental Congress? "Mr. Jefferson, you're not only wrong, you are evil and I call upon the nation to destroy you, burn your house to the ground and spit on the ashes." This kind of rhetoric is how dictators grab and hold onto power. Does the Republican National Committee have no shame? Seems they never ask themselves if these tactics are good for the country -- only if they work.

However, all this is adding up to one thing: bitterness from the Republican Party.

Stupid is as stupid does and they just keep on coming out of the Republican Foot in Mouth Club. McCain and his surrogates are taking advice from the Malcolm X play book. Win by any means necessary. Thirteen days to go, too bad, so sad for the McCain/Palin team. One voice, one nation, one people, Obama-Biden, now that's the ticket!

Well, I guess I must hate America because I am voting Democratic this time around. I must also be considered a "Liberal" because of my choice of candidate.

I will also tell you that I served this country during time of war, am a member of the VVA and fly my flag everyday.

This coming from a man who never served one day in the military.

This was on here yesterday, GO get something good to talk about. Like maybe the voter sites that the machines aren't working. This is old. We already know the Republican party are big jokes.

Talk about big spending Pailn who bought her and her five children clothes on tax payers dollars, over 150k report about that. She is a big liar and McCain should take his money and help Pailn and her five children and first bum dude Todd. This is news

Whatever happened to "By the people, for the people" ? a true democratic society. The Republican party is for a select few and could care less about america and the people in it, they are the party of "ME", not "WE" you guys are so over.

Pretty much why I voted straight Democrat yesterday for the first time in my life. I will be out of town on business on election day and I voted this early to be sure that my vote counts that is if the Republicans don't mess with my ballot. I am tired of Republicans being very out of touch with real Americans. I guess I am a liberal now!

Quick question... what does it mean when over half of Americans are 'anti-American'? It is amazing that the GOP is embracing this idea like they are.

By: Dave

Dave — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 13:40:11 +0000

I am a Democrat, a Christian, a former Combat Officer in the US Army. I guess since I am a Democrat and lean liberal that makes me un-American?

The "Real" America??? All right, that does it. Since the whole freaking country is all ready broke, let's have a civil war. Let's see how bad these neocons are. They need a heavy dose of "reality."

Funny how these Republicans – who at one time recently tried to sell control of US ports to Dubai, an Arab nation, are the ones questioning anyone's patriotism, or whether anyone else is "Anti-American."

How quickly they forget – but we don't!

By: Markus

I'm sick of being told I'm not American or patriotic because I don't vote for hate and decisiveness. This is a ploy, nothing else, played on unsuspecting people that just love their country. Nobody should believe this, but some people do and the Republicans just play off this every time. Anyone remember Kerry being labelled as unpatriotic by W? By the guy that was AWOL from his military service? It's despicable.

Keep it up folks, you will help us win the election! These comments and others in recent days -- like "the news media should investigate the congress to expose those who are pro American and anti American", show the true character of the fanatic and paranoid right wing. Oh, those would be the same ones that support the secessionists that the Palins "pal around" with!

Another incumbent that should be examining future career opportunities in the exciting field of garbage collection.

Of course, Fox is always looking for news analysts, but that's a step down from trash removal.

Thanks for the hate, Robin! See you on the unemployment line!

Typical right-wing conservative christian in the same fold as Palin, Dobson, Falwell, Robertson. If you don't agree with them, you don't belong in this country, it's theirs and theirs alone. No wonder Republican ranks are on the decline.

Start giving to the Dem running against him!

It's working here in Minnesota...after Bachmann opened her McCarthy-like mouth El Tinklenburg got close to one million bucks in 3 days! He now has ads on local TV, which he couldn't afford before this week.

In seems like making outlandish statements – then retracting them a day later – is a common theme throughout the McCain campaign. If they just stuck to the facts and the issues they wouldn't have this problem.

You didn't mean it? You didn't mean it? I work,achieve,believe in God,
and certainly don't hate Americans-–you complete and utter moron!

You are the hypocritcal epitome of that you profess to oppose. Came
out the wrong way? You meant we have political differences?

First you didn't say it and then you did say it but it doesn't mean
anything like what you really mean? Huh?

Be afraid North Carolina, be afraid.

Excuse me, Congressman, but I am a liberal, I work, I achieve, I believe in God, and I consider myself a REAL American. I certainly don't hate other Americans. Stick to the issues, please. It sounds like you are the ones who hate people who don't agree with you.

Let me try this again - I'm sure the soldiers and their families who are risking and giving their lives to keep even the neocons free, will appreciate hearing that if they are liberals they "hate America". Hope CNN actually prints this.

Speaks to his lack of intelligence that he would deny saying something in the YouTube/cell phone camera age.

When will the right-wing whiners learn that this country was founded on the premise that poltiical dissent is not only permitted but required. They would all have us marching the goosestep with whoever's in charge? That, my friends, is fascism.

Liberals don't hate "real Americans"; neocon whack jobs like Congressman Hayes do. They hate any real American who dares to criticize them; further, they say offensive things like Hayes did because they think their own constituencies are so stupid and gullible that they'll believe anything they say. That's not standing up for Americans; that's the desperate words of a Republican politician trying to keep his job. Hopefully this clown will be out of a job next month.

help pull the cart or get out of the cart – liberals want government to control everything and think big government is the key to their happiness.
