US democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama’s “Punjab jab” against his rival contender Hillary Clinton has made it to Time magazine’s list of Top 10 Campaign Gaffes.

Listed No. 9 on Time’s list of presidential campaign trail faux pas is “The campaign of Democratic Senator Barack Obama referring to Clinton as ‘Hillary Clinton, D-Punjab,” in a jab at her work on behalf of Indian-Americans.”

Wow. So far he's managed to alienate European-Americans, Jewish people and Indians. I can only assume Hispanics will be next.

I never imagined it would be this much fun watching someone self-destruct...

Watching someone self-destruct by posting something that he never said personally, denounced, and distanced himself from 2 years ago?

Sheesh.

LMAO! In case you haven't heard there's a list of his many lies and flubs about a half-mile long. Would you like me to post it here? I'd be happy to.

Don't you think you ought to fix the title of that other thread? I mean it still says Lieberman (D-IL). It not only looks foolish, but it reflects poorly on any posts you may make in the future....just saying.

That remark did not even come directly from Obama, self destructing, indeed

FYI - McCain is at #4 for his "BOMB BOMB BOMB IRAN" song. Did you even look at the entire list, or just giddly single out Obama? Pretty much every candidate from this year is on there.
Quote:
"Bomb, bomb, bomb ... Bomb, bomb Iran"
— John McCain, singing along to the Beach Boys tune Barbara Ann in response to the question, "When do we send them an airmail message to Tehran?"

He stopped short of supporting an invasion of Iran, saying only "I totally support the President when he says we will not allow Iran to destroy Israel." Later, McCain campaign spokesman Kevin McLaughlin told ABC News that the Senator "was just trying to add a little humor to the event." When asked if his joke was insensitive, McCain responded: "Insensitive to what? The Iranians?" Liberal organization MoveOn.org later used footage of the comment to create an ad arguing against "another reckless President."

Would you like me to link you to the snopes.com page that debunks the first #11 entries, and then, with 10 minutes of simple internet research, tell you the rest is BS as well?

That's addressed in *that thread*. Perhaps you should try glasses.

One of us certainly looks foolish now, don't they?

Yes, it's all BS, it's all made up, I know, I know, it's all a vast right-wing conspiracy.

Yawn.

So, what do you think about McCain being at #4 on the list? For a comment spoken from his own mouth?

If you fact check - you will see it's 95% made up. But instead, you believe a chain letter.
