Nadler on Obama and Reverend Wright

Is there still time for the McCain campaign to make an ad out of this?

Only if Obama is has a chance to get some footage of Pam from Atlas shrugged out there as well.

I don't think Mccain wants to go there.....

Tapper's using Atlas Juggs as a source? Wow. Ad buys are closed, we were told yesterday.

Jake Tapper hates Obama for some reason. He has turned from a kind of down the middle guy to a definite right leaning to sometime wingnut guy. He was the one that made the leap that Obama was saying that wanting to keep money you earned is "selfish". He is a major RICHARD!

What is it with ex-Salon writers.....?

So silly. I can't thank Senator Clinton enough for getting all this stuff "out there" months ago. For the people who want to care about this stuff they are already in McCain's camp. Everyone else either never really cared or dismissed it as not terribly important.

Tapper was a bulldog during the cigarette-gate.

I wish everyone was as politically courageous as Nadler. I hope that my sons grow up to have as much couragitude as this great, great man of courageosity, for he is truly a towering figure of couragehood - as shown here carelessly popping off against his party's leader so as not to leave those five votes on the table.

NNTO--

Re thanking Clinton. You're so right. Dragging this out one more time just makes them, once more, make them appear backward looking and confused.

One more reason to stay out of church.

That period reminded me of the Ned Lamont "He has a messy desk!!" ad.

McCain won't have to cut an ad, this will be all over Fox and talk radio for the next 24 hours. Too little, too late, though.

Tapper's story was unclear as to the date of the remarks. If Nadler just said this, it's perhaps legitimately interesting. If it dates to the original Wright flap, and Gellar (or her source) has been sitting on the footage ever since, far less so.

And, really, if there's gonna be clips of Congresscritters nobody has ever heard of saying embarrassing and stupid things, well, there's motherlode of republican content out there.

(Not to say Nadler's not well known here in NYC or the left blogosphere--like Rush Holt, he played a key role in the FISA fight. But your average Ohioan is gonna say "who? And why should I care?"

Tapper's story was unclear as to the date of the remarks....

They refer to "this weekend". No reason to doubt that this is current.

I'm not sure this even calls for an update to my "Opinions of Jerrold Nadler About Which I Do Not Give A $hit" because I think my first entry - "1. ALL" is inclusive.

I'm sure Faux news will flog this like a dead horse but the vast majority of Faux viewers are not going to vote for Obama anyway.

The networks might pick it up but I think they will probably go with overviews instead of last minute gotcha stories.

ya know, I am trying to get some work done during the day and a bit of sleep at night, and I just don't need any more of this.

Hey! I found the rest of the video!

I really don't think there is a foundation for the Republicans to rebuild the party, without a long period of purges and spiraling downward. Safe seats for republicans are going to turn out not to be safe seats for incumbents, as registration numbers continue to drop. And if they follow-up by becoming even more unhinged, which is the trend, recovery may be a decade away.
.
All that's gonna keep them above water is concern trolling Villagers who insist on continued capitulation to what is now a shrinking Republican minority.

I'll just repeat what I said on Tapper's post:

"Jerry Nadler is a buffoon. I don't say that because of these cluelessly critical comments about Obama. Obama certainly has his faults. But for those of us from NYC who are exposed to Nadler's idiocy on a regular basis, this is just another incident in a long line of incidents that Nadler's been pulling for years. It's like every other comment out of his mouth is based on some fantasy created in his mind. We have these kinds of guys in both parties, the guys who are really too inept or too impolitic to be in elected office, but to our continuing amazement they get elected. They should really be riding on a special short bus and put somewhere they don't harm themselves or others."

This is just to give some context to people who aren't really aware of Nadler's history. Coming out of another more credible politician's mouth, I would consider the truth of it. But from Nadler, you can pretty much dismiss it out of hand. I'm serious. He's that moronic."

I should also add that I wouldn't put it past him to say this garbage to earn brownie points from the Clintons. It fits right into his modus operandi.

I think the clock has ran out. This years October surprise will be that there wasn't one.

Uh - Long live PUMA?

These people [enemies of Israel], if they indeed announced it [support for Obama], they are not stupid. They know that if they endorse Obama, everybody's going to say, 'Oh my God, I'd better vote for McCain.' They're playing head games," NY Rep. Jerrold Nadler said at a synagogue in Boca Raton.

Prediction: John McCain doesn't want to push anything that says a vote for John McCain is a vote for the enemies of Israel.

Perhaps Nader and Tapper would like to speak to the lack of political courage that leads you to abandon every principle you ever held to run a campaign of character attacks and smears, staffed by the very people who tore into your own campaign and family in 2000.

I hope that the McCain-leaning media spend the last day before the election talking about this and SNL. Because none of it matters to people, it really doesn't.

I guess there's good reason I've never heard of Nadler before. It sounds like he did all his thinking about Wright in about 5 seconds 7 months ago. Just because you're a member of congress doesn't mean you're not stupid, I guess.

We have another Obamacon defection

Throughout Biden's speech, about 25 students supporting McCain waved Republican campaign signs and a yellow Gadsden flag, used during the Revolutionary War, by the back fence of the arena.

“It stands for preserving liberty,” said Bryan Griffin, UF College Republicans chairman, of the flag, adding that Obama's policies would strip Americans of some liberties, such as choosing how to spend their money.

Not all Republicans were there to protest.

“I wanted to see the next vice president of the United States,” said Josh Simmons, Gators for McCain chairman.

Simmons said he voted for Obama about two weeks ago.

“I've seen a different John McCain than the one I signed up to work for,” he said.

Simmons said he submitted his resignation Sunday night and will no longer be chairman for the group, which has more than 1,000 members.

“I expect them to be incredibly pi$$ed off,” he said.
