McCain hires Jew counter.
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) today announced that fund-raiser Fred Malek had joined his team as a national finance co-chair. David Corn reminds us of Malek’s history in the Nixon administration:
Nixon summoned the White House personnel chief, Fred Malek, to his office to discuss a “Jewish cabal” in the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The “cabal,” Nixon said, was tilting economic figures to make his Administration look bad. How many Jews were there in the bureau? he wanted to know. Malek reported back on the number, and told the President that the bureau’s methods of weighing statistics were normal procedure that had been in use for years.
Among Malek’s other highlights — being arrested as a young man for killing, skinning, and barbecuing a dog.

What. The. F*ck!?
April 4th, 2007 at 10:40 pmOkay, thats pretty messed up. At least McCain doesn’t have a chance at winning thank goodness.
April 4th, 2007 at 10:53 pmFred Malek–DEPRAVED HANNIBAL LECTER(tm)CLONE!!!!!
April 4th, 2007 at 10:53 pmMcCain left the Christians and now is on to the Jewish people. I guess he might want to do the same as Nixon with the Jewish cabal. Money buys people and helps invade countries that McCain learned from Bush/Cheney.
April 4th, 2007 at 10:55 pmMcCain will try every trick he can to steal the White House, but he has to watch out for tricky Mitt. Mitt is selling the Brooklyn Bridge and lying about everything. The Republicans need another Karl Rove. Rove used God to get Bush in the White House to do Satan’s work. Christians and all who believed in God followed the born again sinner and ended up saying God forgive us we know not what we’re done. Americans were fooled once then again so it’s possible that Americans will buy another Satan worshiper.
Sounds like McCain is preparing to follow in the proud footsteps of Team Bush when it comes to relations with Jewish Americans.
This includes James Baker’s famous “f**k the Jews†comment and W’s fundamentalist followers’ belief that Armageddon and the mass death and conversion of the Jews described in Revelation is soon at hand. Asked what he would say to Israeli Jews in 1993, the born-again Bush himself joked, “you’re all going to hell.â€

April 4th, 2007 at 10:56 pmKarl must be so proud *sniff* I wonder if he does a Malek dance as well?
April 4th, 2007 at 10:57 pmWhat kind of dog was it?
April 4th, 2007 at 10:57 pmSo does a Jew counter serve only Kosher sandwiches?
April 4th, 2007 at 10:58 pmSo? Clinton barbecued dogs too.

April 4th, 2007 at 11:07 pmJust another class act in the Republican party.

You’re overdoing it. We’re not in the sixties anymore. It’s supposed to be, if you’re trying to fit with this generation:
omg im so chiled it its like woa, i got sum paint thinnr 2day, lolzorz. ttyl, they r doing another vote
lollers,
mcain
As an example.
April 4th, 2007 at 11:10 pmWTF is McCain thinking?
Oh yeah, he hasn’t been lately……
April 4th, 2007 at 11:10 pmWhere is the happy tranny. I believe she made a joke about me eating dogs. Just wondering what her take on this one would be since she came down on the side of not eating dogs.
April 4th, 2007 at 11:19 pmWhat’s wrong with a little BBQ dog?
/sarcasm
April 4th, 2007 at 11:39 pm#21 - Truth
Your dog is first on the grill…
April 4th, 2007 at 11:44 pmOMG! We have long suspected McCain has been losing his mind, but this is further proof that our suspicions are correct.
April 4th, 2007 at 11:46 pmGood God! Just because Giuliani has a dog killer, McCain thinks he needs one too!! McCain’s nuts - that’s not exactly the type of campaign strategy you should want to copy.
April 5th, 2007 at 12:13 amIt appears to me all the reich is one of the following or all, relegious zelot’s, war monger’s, cat and dog killers, liers’ thieves, pedaphiles, phelanders, drunk’s druggies and totaly insane rich old fat, no neck white men…The one’s in office and one’s wanting to win look the same to me….Sure hope the public is awake for the next voting cycle, if we have one..Blessings
April 5th, 2007 at 12:24 am#25 Well, the Republicans have been successful with cat-killers before (we all know who I am talking about) so maybe they could get back to their hey-day with even more sickos.
April 5th, 2007 at 12:30 amIsn’t a “jew counter” also called a “kosher deli”?
(Ba dum dum.)
I’ll be here all week folks; please try the salmon.
April 5th, 2007 at 1:52 amMcCain must resign from the Senate for his stunt in Iraq and forget about ever being president. Shame on him!
April 5th, 2007 at 2:04 amGoogle Fred Malek and see for yourselves:
“13 out of 35 fit the demographic criteria we discussed”.
Three were then fired.
He is also part of the Carlyle Group and Bush cabal.
Mc Cain has sold his soul to win, he has so many pacts with the devil it is almost impossible to count, and they continue to mount.

April 5th, 2007 at 3:07 amBBQ’d a dog? WTF..
April 5th, 2007 at 3:47 amI guess pork just isn’t the taboo it used to be.
I love dogs, but you have to be objective about things. If the dog had been a pig, a squirrel, or a chicken, would it be that big of a deal? I hate the thought of a lovable dog being eaten, but we all eat BBQ pigs and cows all the time.
