There are two interesting things that came out of John McCain's last appearance on The O'Reilly Factor. One, he clearly lied about voting for Bush in 2000. Arianna Huffington said earlier this week that he told a table full of guests at a dinner they had together that he did not vote for Bush in the 2000 general election. Since then, there have been four other witnesses that corroborated Huffington's story to The Washington Post, New York Times and LA Times.
That's part of the reason why McCain looks and sounds so nervous below, which leads to the second interesting point. He has entered the maniacal laughter competition with Hillary Clinton. His laugh below is so forced and awkward that it's a little painful to look at. So, check out the video below and then tell us who has the weirder laugh, McCain or Hillary:
So, who gets your vote?

You are a Dim Wit beyond belief
You cannot remember what you read or do not comprehend what you read
You quote me as saying
Right Wing Christians Love America
Left Wing Christians Hate america
What I said dim wit is
Religious Right-pro america
Religious Left-anti america
Very easy

62. Okane, you moron, that's why I wrote...
"paraphrasing" and did not put quotation marks around the words.
Could you be any dumber?
Thanks for providing an accurate quote PROVING that you are a hate-filled, right-wing, radical.
As always, you've been REALLY, REALLY easy.
Captain Negative at 4:28PM on May 12th 2008
63. Captain Negaive, have you checked into whether Obama visited all of the other 7 territories or "states" as he said he did?

“My Fellow Americans”
As we all know the one group who truly is entitled to utter these three little words are actually Native Americans and no one else.
I always wonder why in our nation we are either Americans or African-Americans or Mexican-Americans. For example, we do not address our whiteness as European-American, or German-American etc. etc.
I find this rather interesting; however, I mostly find it extremely presumptuous on the part of the Caucasian/Anglo segment of our population.
I just felt a need to share this with my fellow bloggers, one other reason why we are trapped in an inferno of ignorance, prejudice and sadly self-destruction.
Moreover, when I read the following, quote “Religious Right-pro America, Religious Left- Anti America.” End of a very hateful, very divisive sentiment filled with nothing less than ignorance. This may be “very easy” for the person who wrote it and feels it. It only manages to convince me that we are trapped in an inferno of hate and ignorance.

65. The winner is the one who's the biggest all-around fake -- Mrs. Clinton.
You know, the Chicagoan who is the big Yankees fan.
The duck hunter.
The politician who tried to save health care from those no-thing doctors who merely went to med school ...
That's our gal, the real thing.

66. Skipping over Stank's again-worthless reporting, I'm most impressed with cappy's athletic move back in post #31. He quickly removes his face from Obama's lap and goes on full spin/attack mode, obviously never seeing the YouTube video of Obama. Special mention goes to his 2nd-grade writers for the clever "Republi-tard" reference...
Ignorance and arrogance in one fluid motion-great job!
BirdmanJones at 5:11PM on May 12th 2008
67. Birdman, of the, "my feces isn't malodorous school," you never cease to never amaze me.
When I used the term, "republitard," I had you in mind.
Captain Negative at 5:34PM on May 12th 2008
68. Davidg, I'll leave you and the other Obama-phobes to count states and territories. It will keep you occupied while the astute people weigh in on the more important issues.
Issues like,
"What effect will Ron Paul have on the Republitard National Convention?"
and,
"What extreme measures will the Red-publicans take to silence Ron Paul and his many supporters?"
and,
"What effect, if any, will Bob Barr's entrance into the fray have on the Repugnican Party?"
Yeah, Davidg, you just go ahead, trying to get traction on such a ridiculous issue as the number of states and territories. It's something you can easily do even with your thumb inserted firmly in your posterior.

69. To the young turks- decendents of the muslims:
Here is the last words from one of the supporters of Hillary Clinton- and who we appreciate has the right words to fit your disgusting blog:
On behalf of millions of Clinton supporters who have made it very clear that we will vote for a cockroach before we vote for Barack Obama, I would like you pieces of Obama crap to know that you can kiss our asses. We will collectively do everything in our power to see to it that you and that mysogynist, bigoted, race-baiting pig you worship, the fraud who has already set gender and racial relations back thirty years, goes down in flames in a big way. And there are millions of us. Millions. The kind of millions that brought his type down before from the voting booth.
So kindly don’t bother trying the Nicey-Nicey. We are not your wives you can beat the crap out of and later come back and get back together with. You are so vile you give yourselves away by the third comment, so really it’s a waste of time. You don’t even know you are offensive because it’s in your DNA or something. So really, there’s no sense of stressing yourselves trying to hide your disdain for us. It’s not necessary. We hate you even more than you hate us and all of you only serve to solidify our resolve. And when Barry Obama goes down in November, kindly remember why. Or don’t remember why. Nobody cares.
Jaki Baez at 6:15PM on May 12th 2008
70. Jaki, it is the Hillary supporters (read: "radical feminists") who have set gender politics back 30 years... OR MORE!
Personally, I think one benefit of a Hillary presidency is that it would give you radical feminists less to bitch about.
So now you girls are going to act like desperate housewives and figuratively relegate your hubby's to sleeping on the couch.
Obama has done nothing detrimental to feminism. You're doing it to yourselves. And while you are doing it, you're making a whole lot of people say, "See, women really can't govern. If they don't get their way, they pout, subvert, and act like....well.... women."
Why feed into stereotypes? Women deserve better treatment than you afford. Intelligent women will disavow you and your bitter ilk.
Captain Negative at 6:36PM on May 12th 2008
71. What is most absurd is the fact that everyone knows McCain campaigned and voted for Bush. So what is the big deal? One thing I know for sure is that Obama doesn't laugh...heck, he barely smiles. He's such an unhappy cigarette smokin' guy! And, why is it that no issue is made of his nicotine habit when everyone deplores second hand smoke, cigarettes. If McCain or Clinton were smokers, you can believe a HUGE issue would be made of it.
Donna at 7:03PM on May 12th 2008
72. Cenk, Instead of spending your blog time on the important issue of whose laugh is more nearly fake, why don't you explain how the candidate you support is going to pay for his agenda? How is he going to get us out of Iraq? Nancy Pelozi and Harry Reid could have defunded the war in this year’s budget. They chose not to. You could ask Obama why that is. The answer might just be the consequences of ending the war abruptly may be worse than the cost of continuing it. Whether he was smart or lucky enough to realize it was wrong or wrongly executed is actually irrelevant to solving the current problem. How he will get past Pelozi and Reid and their lobby friends from K Street. Of course with his Washington experience he probably can't find K Street. We know he says he does not take money from them. They have to give it to someone else who gives it to him. The employees at the law firms for the lobbyists that give him money do it why? Everyone knows that only US citizens can donate to a candidate in an election. How is that being checked in a campaign that is largely internet funded?
We have so many important issues, like why we reduced the amount Americans can save in Savings Bonds while increasing our borrowing from China. Maybe you can tell us how Obama intends to change the spiraling costs of Medicare or SS either of which exceed the cost of the war by several times or maybe how he will enforce immigration law or will he give us back Al Gore's program of legalizing felons and registering them as Democrats. Maybe he can talk to us about how the Chinese build 4 submarines every time we build one and what he thinks that means to Taiwan. Maybe he will tell us what he will do when China invades Taiwan. If he becomes the titular head of the Democratic party by being elected, will he reform at least his own party to end the caucus system the super –delegates and the exclusion of whole states voters? Lets see… it got him in…I predict that will stay, because the party you believe in does not believe in democracy.
The questions are not whether or not there will be change we can believe in, but rather what will he change to what and will Congress let him change anything at all.

All that other stuff will have to wait.

Dear Jaki Baez,
Frankly, I am at a loss for words. The first thing I thought about advising you to do is to go out and buy several of Joan Baez’s records, listen to them carefully and chill out. As a woman, I am appalled at the things you have expressed on your post.
Furthermore, I have to admit that while I was a bit put out by the way Captain Negative expressed himself regarding “some women and feminists” he is 100% right on the with his none-sugar-coated remarks. If you are so concern with women’s rights and being treated as equals, stop spewing your ignorance and your ridiculous assertions about Senator Obama. The only thing you are managing to accomplish is the fact that you are making us women look like idiots and you are hurting our party. That is if you really are a Democrat, or even a woman for that matter.
Alternatively, should Hillary not win the nomination (and frankly we know that the odds are very much against her pulling this off), do you not realize that she will be out there campaigning for Senator Obama, the man you have insulted with your small-minded and childish remarks. With a Democratic president, (even if it is not Hillary) your rights as a woman will be defended and respected. Hillary will be able to achieve things that she would not be able to do so if McCain should win the presidency. Is your mind able to wrap itself around this concept?
As a woman, I thing you have just shown a lot of disrespect for our gender. We are so much better than what you have displayed on your post. Honestly, I cannot understand where your head is at and how you cannot be embarrassed by the hateful, divisive words, you chose to write.
Patty at 10:37PM on May 12th 2008
75. Why feed into stereotypes? Women deserve better treatment than you afford. Intelligent women will disavow you and your bitter ilk.
Captain Negative at 6:36PM on May 12th 2008
Dear Captain,
Thank you for recognizing that women deserve better treatment, we most certainly deserve better representation than that of Jaki Baez.
Furthermore, you are correct, intelligent women will disavow anything the Jaki Baez’s will spew with their bitterness. Unfortunately, so many women make up a large portion of demonstrating repeatedly that we women can be our worst enemies.
Furthermore, I am certain that Hillary Clinton would disavow anything that can potentially set women’s rights back and hurt the very struggle we have worked for to break that glass ceiling that has held back so many worthy women regardless the field of work.
