Are Obama Supporters the Biggest Hypocrites

...unfortunately, that's the nature of politics.. it's demonize any opposition for the sake of votes.. sometimes even demonizing our own country in the eyes of the world! Yet I still think 'both' parties (even the extremes of each) and most candidates mean well.. So I go with the party and candidates whose concern priorities match up closest with mine, and also I guess it's a what do I think can really work the best (or with the least disaster) or which answers and ways of looking at things will bring us to disaster the slowest!

Just curious what did Obama say on video camera? If an Obama supporter is wrong I'll be the first to say they are wrong. But when you continue to spew attacks with nothing behind them how are you surprised that Obama supporters will come back at you with facts and links? How is that hypocritical? Throw me a link of this 'hypocrisy' and I'll judge it for myself and then tell you where you're wrong. (jk) How does Clinton's 4 sniper 'misstatements' even compare to Obama directly quoting John McCain? Yes McCain later clarified that he meant to say he was talking about military bases. You can believe him if you want to, its impossible to jump inside his head, but then I see clips of McCain joking about bombing Iran and McCain continuing Bush's failed policies so I think his record speaks for itself. Will McCain keep troops in Iraq for 100 years? Definitely not, he'll only have 4 years in office if he elected. I believe he'll keep the surge there at least another 2 years and then if its looking real good over there start withdrawing troops. In the meantime who knows what happens to our economy or gas prices. Will McCain continue Bush's failed policies? Definitely, he's already changed his own views to match the far right trying to garner their united support which he still does not have. Remember 6 months ago McCain was against things like torture, the Bush Tax Cuts, the deport 'em all immigration plan. Will McCain invade Iran? Hard to say but his statements about Al Qaeda and Iran are very scary. Either he's confused or he wants the general public to believe that Iran is our next Iraq. No made up WMD's (yet) this time but they are building their case one could surmise based off recent events which is scary. It would be cheaper to invade Iran now that we have so many soldiers next door rather than withdraw them and invade later...

I get what you're saying but to be honest, it can get a bit exhausting to constantly find false accusations of a candidate you support. Imagine you believed a candidate had true potential but was constantly attacked by a strongly partisan media with false accusations, degrading your candidate's image. Then those who actually believe the propaganda go on to spread it onto the Internet, only to have it debunked a couple of hours later. Tiring, no? That's why I'll never jump straight away on anything the media says about an opposing candidate. Clinton's sniper statements, McCain's word errors, etc.. I know it's not what really matters.

I think it's a shame it's come to the point where people will call others names or insult them because they support a different party or even a different candidate from the same party. Each candidate has supporters who probably are a bit hypocritical but that doesn't mean for one second that all supporters of any of them are hypocrites. I've supported and voted for many people for many offices in my lifetime but I've yet to find one that never made a mistake or didn't say or do something that I didn't like or agree with. Nobody's perfect and no two people feel exactly the same way on every single issue. Obama addressed the whole "100 year" bit on Hardball last night and he stated it's his opinion that we shouldn't have a permanent military presence in Iraq. He also said we need to be "as careful getting out as we were careless going in" so he has no intention of pulling all the troops out in one fell swoop without giving any thought to it. I'm sure the same can be said about Hillary. I am concerned about McCain's "confusion" about al Qaeda/extremists or whatever he thinks are coming from Iran. No matter how you slice it, it's disturbing! Either he's trying to "ease us" into a conflict with Iran or he's lost it, neither of which is a pleasant thought. We all know what Obama meant by the "baby as punishment" remark. Could he have chosen his words more carefully? Of course, as I think most of us could now and then but there are no TV cameras to catch us in our slip-ups. My point is there are supporters and even campaign workers for every candidate who will stop at nothing to get their guy/gal elected. Some of them are hypocrites, some of them tell out and out lies but that doesn't mean that all of any of their supporters are like that. We all want what's best for our country, our families and ourselves; we don't all agree on what that is or how to get it but that's politics and that's why we have elections. Annie

Obama followers will defend anything and everything that he says. if he says something wrong they will downplay it as much as possible and quickly change the subject. they they see it Hillary is a liar and Obama is perfect. I do not understand nor will I ever understand why people are so smitten with him. He is the most liberal voting senator in senate. he is not a "new kind of politician" as his followers boast, he lies just like the rest of them. the wright story, how he came to America, the law professor story...all lies. not "misspoken words" as I have heard them called. You are right on gewcew. the media is so biased that they too work to lessen the impact of the fallacies Obama speaks. It is amazing how influential the media has been in creating this candidate. he has no real record of accomplishments that have had significant impact on the nation and the few things that he did do in his community are things that anyone can do. it is just amazing.

I knew you were posting this because you thought you were right about the Selma speech and JFK thing. But clearly you haven't read the speech and you don't know the history of Selma. Selma had been in the news and media before the bridge crossing. They started getting attention in the late 1950's because of the efforts to try and register black voters and the opposition they were getting from the KKK and the whites in the area. My suggestion? Before you accuse me of being a hypocrite make sure what YOU are saying is in fact accurate. I've never accused McCain of saying anything like being in Iraq for 100 years. What I've said about McCain has been completely truthful, as well as I what I've said about Obama and Clinton. Don't make generalizations about his supporters and please don't tell me what I am, what I think, or what I believe.

No wouldnt say that But they need to know Hes a musluim not sure if i spelt that Right But Nobody dares to Do some Background searching On him befor they vote or whatever
