Time to Grow a BackBone McCain [UPDATED]

in: Election 2008, Global War on Terrorism, John McCain, Presidential Candidates

When it comes to apologizing for comments made by others, McCain set a precedent when he apologized for Bill Cunningham’s use of Barack Hussein Obama’s middle name 3 times at a Cincinnati rally prior to the Ohio Primary. Now Barack Hussein Obama wants McCain to apologize for comments made by Iowa Rep. Steve King who reportedly said…

“The radical Islamists, the Al Qaeda … would be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on Sept. 11 because they would declare victory in this war on terror.”

On the use of Obama’s middle name King also chimed in,

“His middle name does matter,” King said. “It matters because they read a meaning into that.”

No matter how much he declares himself to be a Christian, Obama would be seen by the radical Islamofascists as being sympathetic to their cause because his name, all of it by the way, sounds Islamic. The other reason for them to “dance in the streets” is because Barack Hussein Obama would pull our troops out of Iraq prematurely thereby surrendering to the Islamofascists that nation. That is irresponsible and dangerous to the safety of Americans here at home as well as abroad and the Islamofascists understand that.

McCain needs to grow a backbone and ignore what Barack Hussein Obama wants. If McCain would capitulate to Obama and issue an apology, he would in effect surrender the election because he would be seen as someone who could be pushed around by the political opposition. That is not a characteristic of someone who is qualified to be President of the United States.

An Obama Presidency represents a victory for al Qaeda because Obama would surrender. It will be Vietnam all over again. The troops win the war but the politicians lose it.

UPDATE: 2144

It seems that McCain didn’t grow that backbone since FoxNews.com is reporting that he is distancing himself from King’s comments.

John McCain’s campaign distanced itself Saturday from a supporter who told an Iowa newspaper that terrorists would be “dancing in the streets” if Barack Obama is elected president. SOURCE

While McCain’s backbone failed to materialize over Congressman King’s statement, he did repudiate the anti-Catholic statements of one of his newest supporters in Texas.

McCain has come under fire since televangelist John Hagee endorsed him on Feb. 27, but until Friday his response had been tepid. The Arizona senator merely said he doesn’t agree with everyone who endorses him. He said Friday he had been hearing from Catholics who find Hagee’s comments offensive.

Hagee, leader of a San Antonio megachurch, has referred to the Roman Catholic Church as “the great whore” and called it a “false cult system” and “the apostate church” — “apostate” means someone who has forsaken his religion.

On Friday, McCain took a stronger stance on Hagee’s views in an interview with The Associated Press.

“We’ve had a dignified campaign, and I repudiate any comments that are made, including Pastor Hagee’s, if they are anti-Catholic or offensive to Catholics,” McCain said.

“I sent two of my children to Catholic school. I categorically reject and repudiate any statement that was made that was anti-Catholic, both in intent and nature. I categorically reject it, and I repudiate it,” McCain said.

“And we can’t have that in this campaign,” McCain said. “We’re trying to unite the country. We’re uniting the country, not dividing it.”

It became necessary for McCain to address this because of none other than Nancy Pelosi making issue of the remarks from Hagee. Pelosi who lives in a state of perpetual mortal sin because she supports abortion on demand has been instructed to not receive Communion by a Priest in her own district. And she is the one who has come to the defense of our religion? I’m shocked. She undoubtedly was grand standing and only said these things for political gain.

“She made the attack. I am responding by saying that I am against discrimination and anti-Semitism, anti-Catholic, anything racial, and I have proved that on the campaign trail,” McCain said. SOURCE
