youll never see a story like this from the NYT about any demoncrat. Had a story come out like this against one of the two demoncrats, the liberals would be up in arms protecting their shepards. Since this is against a Republican, it MUST be true, at least.... according to CNN and the other jacka$$ party (Democrats have the Donkey as a symbol)

Johnny's been caught yet again with his hand in the cookie jar! What else should we expect from him? Politics as usual is what you will get if you vote for McCain and Hillary. Everyone knows that the MCALL is a conservative paper.
On a side note:
I love how the right wing nutz use Obama's middle name, Hussein, like its an insult. It just shows how ignorant they are. Hussein is a very common muslim name. As if the names "Barak" or "Obama" do not remind us that his father was a muslim. And they would like for you to think that theres something wrong with having Muslim ancestry. Theres a picture on the web of Obama and his grandparents. His grandparents are the whitest of whites. Obama is not a muslim anyhow...nor is he black. Maybe in the back woods of PA he's black but to the rest of the world he is mulatto. Thats half white and half black if you don't know that term. And as Darwin states mixing always creates the best genes so I'd say genetically Obama is the best person to be president.

As a lifelong GOP'er, I am thoroughly disgusted with McCain and his rise from the ashes. The NYTimes would not be stupid enough to publish this story if they didn't have more info on this serial philanderer. McCain is parsing his words. Aside from the affair, is big claim to fame has been keeping his distance from special interests, they are ALL crooks.

McCain is just as liberal as that terror loving dem. Any supporter of McCain is a supporter of abortion, big gov't, and liberalism. My as well vote for Sadam's brother Barak.

First it was Hillary, not it's John McCain on the receiving end of a vicious, deplorable, cheap, smearing campaign by a newspaper i used to have respect for. The NYT has lost all credibility with the American people. If you thought Hillary could unite the Republicans...wait until you see how united the Republican party will be against this obvious political drive-by by the New York Times!

This is one democrat who will be casting his vote for John McCain in November, no matter how much the left-wing Media tries to smear this honorable man!

You watch, they have more on this deal between McCain and the chick, why do you think he was pleading with the Times to NOT publish the story? Why did he hire Bob Bennett if this is not true?

This smear came from within your party, numbnuts. The last thing the GOP wants is for John McCain to have even a CHANCE at the presidency. You wingnutters have a history of falling for BS and it seems history is repeating itself.

Do you remmeber the smear they brought on McCain back in 2000?
<gasp> McCain has a BLACK baby!!! Oh, the horrors.

You people are too frickin funny.

Rachel, look at his name!! He is a radical sheep. If Jesus Christ ran on the Democratic ticket, he would claim that Jesus was the product of an unmarried s l u t, who fornicated with some guy named Joe. With people like this guy, it's his party first, and his country last.

With that being said....The NYT really screwed up. I am embarassed for them. They should know better. If they keep this kind of crap up, they are going to have less credibility than the national enquirer

McCain bombs New York Times!
(Millions of Americans cheer)

They say “never pick a fight with someone who buys ink in barrels”.
Well, John McCain has never been afraid of a good fight. The New York Times started this battle and McCain intends to finish it.

The NYT has become just another left-wing rag. They are constantly putting their own slant on the news a only printing the news that serves their agenda. Consequently their subscription rate has tumbled and they have announced layoffs in their “news” department.

These vicious and untrue accusations about McCain and a Lobbyist can’t even be verified by people with names. It is is NOT news and is is only being printed because John McCain is is going to be the Republican nominee.

McCain has held a press conference with his wife where he denied all of the accusations by The NYT. He has stated that he is is “very disappointed” by The New York Times. I think the American people would say they are “very disgusted” by The NYT. The voters will side with McCain in this fight.

This is is one time where someone who buys ink in barrels picked a fight with the wrong guy.

This is is a great Political move!
By Bombing the NYT McCain gains attention that would have gone to the Democrats considering that he has the Republican nomination sown up.
Also, he turns the NYT into an enemy of his which puts him squarely on the side of the American people. Most of us are sick of the Liberal Bias in the MSM and especially the NYT.
It is is NO coincidence that today is is the first time I have ever defended McCain. I am much more conservative than he is is but I have rallied to him because he is is a victim of the NYT. Conservatives nationwide are doing the same.
The New York Times is is almost as hated by the voters as Hillary Rotten Clinton. This McCain article will serve to unite the Republican Party and the McCain camp understands that perfectly and is is using it brilliantly.
Of course, the Commie Pinko Meatheads won't understand any of this and will help McCain by keeping the story in the spotlight.
Keep it up, useful idiots!!! You are doing a fine job.

Huckabee is behind this smear. Clinton and Obama are too focused on each other. Polls of likely voters show Clinton and Obama beating McCain "if the elction were held today".

The GOP has made no secret of the fact they don't want McCain to get the nomination and Huckabee keeps getting the snot beat out of him by McCain.

This whole things stinks like a GOP planted smear. It's what they do best. They sure as he// can't runa country. All they got is hate.

McCain has some skeletons in his closet. He is a bad choice for a president. I have no intention of voting for him. For once can't we get a president who can tell the truth???

I wont hold this against McCain.
I like John McCain. I supported him in 2000. Even when I disagree with him, I respect him.

But I will hold this against the right wing blowhards who believe any obscure website that claims Obama is a terrorist, Hillary killed Vince Foster, and John Kerry burned an American flag.

Whats amazing is that the right wing nuts are suddenly concerned about journalistic integrity.
What a joke!!!!
