I'm not trying to start an argument, I think it's pretty witty actually. Equating him to a terrorist for doing it is just silly.

I equate him to a terrorist because he is a terrorist, as is mccain. two men who use fear for political gain. can't think of a better definition of a terrorist.

What do you mean "puts it in your face"? The man is running for President of the United States afterall. It's in your face every time you watch the news, read the newspaper, or post on the Presidential Election 2008 forum.

If you don't know what he's running for then you missed the point of that imagery. It's kinda obvious that he's been running for President to me and if you had any doubts at all in the past, that picture hits the point home.

Ummm.. what about that picture says fear to you?

What about that picture says terrorist to you?

Your comment resonates as slightly Freudian. Subconsciously speaking.

Your point sounds slightly Freudian.

There will be a backlash on this - guaranteed.
You are a poor soul. Just can't get over it can you. Too bad McSame have all those old folks working his campaign. I thought it was awesome. McCain needs to boot out some of those living in the past people in his campaign and get with it. Obama will flush him with all the money and ad's. He will be forced to put money in States that he thought was his. He's here in Canada today and I must say not very President like. He fits right in here with our slimy Prime Minister. Harper will his eye makeup on with suck up to whomever become the next President.

A lot of Canadian that I talk to love Obama. The Gov't will love whoever.
Most think McCain is Bush. And looking at his voting record I have to agree with them.

I agree, but even our slimy Prime Minister didn't meet with McCain today!

I lived in Canada for 4 years. Canada is full of liberals. Some of my best Dressage buddies were very liberal. They hated "W". I loved him. Made for some interesting conversation.

Really? How do you explain our conservative government? Or did you even know that fact?
