McCain is whining because Andrea Mitchell reported that he was not in the "cone of silence"

This is a repeat post by the anti Israel/ Jew activist HOT HEAD ALERT, a resident of Stanford

Ignore it!

"McCain may have had ability to overhear what questions were put to Obama, even though McCain wasnn't supposed to hear the broadcast feed."

The reason that the Obama campaign is making this charge is that they realize that McCain won the night.

Let's just put it another way: Suppose McCain heard all of Obama's remarks. The Obama folks have been suggesting that he is too old to be mentally sharp, yet he suddenly got on point, and said what he believes, and what he normally says, because he believes his stuff. That does not sound like a feeble mind to me. In fact, if McCain was of feeble mind, how did he suddenly memorize his lines, including the body language?

To put it simply, McCain won the night. No excuses are necessary, even if NBC wants to propagandize to the contrary.

nbc is a shill for obama, pure and simple. look at the clown walter-cronkite-wannabe keith olberman - -what a hysterical farce the man is. mcnbc and nbc were so clearly biased against hillary clinton that they fell to last in quality of all networks. they're a joke, and so is andrea mitchell. i never thought i'd see the day when fox outreported and out-newsed nbc, but that day is here. what a bunch of losers!

obama = different? remember? where are all his cult members now? cowering in a corner, now that obama can be pressed hard, without hillary having to soft-pedal for fear of being called a racist by obama's cultists

Obama may well have lost the election by his pathetic performance on Saturday, it was a Dukakis moment, and he looked like Carter.

He has lost the fly over states and the Electoral College.

Billory in 2012!

Yes I feel Obama and his his supporter make a powerful and, am I being to gushy? ethical case right here Web Link

I am so proud of that man and our nation

The thinly-muted hysterical tone of this thread shows how scared the McCain people are as they look desperately for any firefly of hope in the darkness that Bush, Cheney, Abramoff, Foley, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Condi, McCain, and the rest have brought on the once-grand ol' party.

paul appears quite naive about the democratic party's contribution to this mess, and the failure of both parties to tell americans the truth about anything at all. thinking that what our country has come to - i.e. and imperial presidency - will change things, no matter who the candidate is, is naive. paul, why do we hear almost nothing in the mainstream media about the congressional races? think about this as you fawn after obama, or your fellow gop citizens fawn over mccain. as of now, most americans have been duped again.

I have no intention of either sleeping with or partying with McCain or Obama. Politicians hide their intentions like virgins hide their goodies. As the Great Lee Rodgers often says, "never fall in love with a politician, they'll break your heart every time."t

Try researching the facts...all of this started by a "misunderstanding" ( on purpose) of Rick Warren making a joke. Anyone remember Get Smart? For Pete's Sake.

Web Link An interview with Rick Warren, who started the whole thing with a little joke

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hannity: Let me first start with the controversy over Obama backers crying foul and the accusation, the undertone that has been out there all day, that, in fact, John McCain had heard the questions beforehand.
WARREN: Well, Sean, and Alan, it's good to be on the program, but it's a totally bogus issue. It's challenging the integrity of the Secret Service, challenging the integrity of -- my security staff, and challenging the integrity of John McCain of which both Barack and John agreed to the terms right up front.

There's no way he could have heard the questions. The fact is that John McCain did get there a little late, and the truth is, I actually got to tell Barack Obama about one of the questions in advance that I didn't get to tell John McCain about because he wasn't there.

I intended to tell both of them about my challenge to ask for a commitment regarding orphans, and because John hadn't arrived when we went on stage, he -- you know, he didn't get to hear that question, so actually, it was Barack who got a question answered in advance, and John McCain did not.

............................................................
ALAN COLMES, CO-HOST: Hey, Pastor, it's Alan Colmes. It's good to have you on the show.

WARREN: Hi, Alan.

COLMES: The first issue that Sean brought up and [NBC's] Andrea Mitchell who said the Obama people felt that he didn't do quite as well as they might have wanted and so they have been privately saying that McCain may not have been in "a cone of silence," as you put it, quoting get smart.

What do you think about what Andrea Mitchell said?

WARREN: Well, in the first place, I don't know that you can attribute to the Obama campaign. I don't know. I do know that somebody was systematically calling around telling people McCain -- in fact, one of the questions I was asked on an interview today was, "I heard that McCain was watching a monitor in his green room," which was in a total different building than the building the forum was held in, watching on a monitor.

Well, that was absolutely impossible because two days before we even set that up, Chuck Taylor, one of my staff members, went in there, totally disconnected it from the source, so if they had turned on that monitor, if anybody had have turned it on, all they would have gotten was static.

COLMES: Did you know that McCain was not there yet? And would you have phrased it differently had you known?

WARREN: Oh yes. Like I said it was just a joke, it was just silly, to say the "cone of silence." What we're -- we knew that the moment he came, the Secret Service was with him the entire time, and then they put him immediately in the other building, so I wasn't even sure that he hadn't arrived by the time we were moving on stage.

I knew probably 10 minutes before the time that he wasn't there yet, but by the time we got on the stage, I assumed he was there.

COLMES: Who do you think did better?

WARREN: Oh I think they both did outstanding, and I think they both really showed -- they're both men who love America, I think they're both very smart men. I think they both have different visions, and what I wanted to do is show that you can have a civil debate without demonizing and destroying each other.

These guys went an entire hour each explaining their positions, their world view, their vision for America without ever attacking the other person, which I thought, that's a good thing.

COLMES: You said on Sunday morning, don't look just at the issues, look at character. Part of what you're delivering.

WARREN: Yes.

COLMES: ...words on -- on Sunday morning.

WARREN: Yes.

COLMES: And you stead it to 3,000 people at your congregation. You said look at the candidate and say -- does he live with integrity, service, and humility? Does he share generosity or not?

Do you think one more than the other came off that way?

WARREN: I wouldn't say that. I would say that everybody's going to have to make their decision on -- and I was encouraging my people to use that as a grid.

Too many people today are -- politicians are emphasizing image rather than character, and yet it is character that counts -- by the way, character isn't made in a crisis, it's revealed in a crisis, so when you get a 9/11 or you get a Katrina, or you get a war or a you get a disaster, that's where character is actually revealed.

But it's not built there, it's built in this day-to-day everyday experiences of life.

COLMES: We're going to pick it up.

WARREN: And the most important thing.

COLMES: Yes, go ahead.

WARREN: The most important thing that a president has to do often is what happens in the things that we don't plan, that we don't know about that are going to happen in the next four years.

COLMES: We'll pick it up there with Pastor Rick Warren in just a moment.

Of course McCain didn't har the questions. This is all Obama/CNN/NBC/CBS et al trying desperately to divert attention from the fact that Obama completely failed...revealing himself to the American people.

You can bet much of what he said will be replayed repeatedly through the next 2 months.

I didn't highlight it, so let me point out this part

Warren: I intended to tell both of them about my challenge to ask for a commitment regarding orphans, and because John hadn't arrived when we went on stage, he -- you know, he didn't get to hear that question, SO ACTUALLY, IT WAS bARACK WHO GOT A QUESTION ANSWERED IN ADVANCE, AND JOHN MCCAIN DID NOT.
