McCain cancels event with fundraiser who compared rape to the weather.»

ABC reports:

Sen. John McCain on Friday abruptly cancelled a Monday fundraiser that had been scheduled at the home of a Texas oilman, after ABC News contacted the campaign inquiring about a verbal blunder the Texan made during an unsuccessful 1990 campaign for governor.

Clayton Williams stirred controversy during his 1990 campaign for governor of Texas with a botched attempt at humor in which he compared rape to weather. Within earshot of a reporter, Williams said: “As long as it’s inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it.”

McCain’s campaign spokesman said he wasn’t sure what the senator would be doing with the more than $300,000 brought into the campaign by Williams. (HT: The Back Forty)

    Repugnican crass and vulgar comments certainly belie the ‘family values” and “christian” morality they boast.


  2. blue state bob Says:

    Sweet Jebus, I remember that idiotic comment when he said it. No surprise he’s a McCain supporter.

    As for the $300,000, what $300,000 says the McCain campaign

    I think we all know what will happen to that money. Duck Michelle, incoming!

    $300,000? Why that is about the weekly income for the K Street Lobbyist/whores on the McCain Straight-talk Express train (to oblivion in November.)


  7. The Shadow Says:

    They are going to keep the 300 grrr and they know it. McCain doesn’t care about women other than Cindy and his family. He is just like Bush and every other republican in history. They care about when only to get votes and then they dump them like a bad habit. Only stupid women vote for republicans anyway.

  10. LibertyLover Says:

    I, oh-so-remember this comment because I lived in Texas at the time — it virtually put Anne Richards in the Governor’s mansion.

    But I’m not sure why McCain is choosing to distance himself from Clayton, anyone who would call his wife a trollop and a C* word can’t be too far from agreeing with Clayton and thinking that rape is OK.

    “Lay back and enjoy it?” Isn’t that what the corporate media and many Republicans are saying about the rapidly climbing gasoline prices? Now every American driver is being assaulted every time we buy gasoline. The Royal Corporate Chronicle newspaper finally decided to give a bit of coverage to the growing electronic oil futures trading scandal today in a page 3 article entitled, “Bill would limit trading in energy markets.” Even corporate Feinstein and corporate Liberman want to crack down (a little).

    To help get you up to speed on this amazing electronic ripoff, here are my repeated words:

    We’re being ENRONed again: this time by oil futures contracts speculators who are unnecessarily and very profitably driving up the price of crude oil and hence retail gasoline prices. Curious as to why you are suddenly paying over four dollars a gallon for gasoline? No, it’s not due to “supply-and-demand,” no, it’s not due to “OPEC,” nor is it due to “peak oil.” It’s due to totally unregulated electronic oil futures trading in world markets. Check out the very lucid article that explains the unseen financial machinations in oil futures markets written by F. W. Engdahl on May 2, 2008, entitled, “Perhaps 60% of Today’s Oil Price is Pure Speculation.” It may be viewed at .
    http://www.financialsense.com/ editorials/ engdahl/ 2008/ 0502.html

    In a nutshell, he suggests that the Bush Administration dropped the ball in January 2006, when they allowed totally unregulated electronic trading of oil futures contracts in New York. Previously these electronic trades had been made at the London Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) Futures Market. With that decision by the Bush Administration, all of the world’s oil prices were then opened to upward pressure from speculative futures contracts. In essence, oil futures contracts made by speculators, banks, hedge funds and pension funds all competed with real demand on the spot markets and had the effect of driving up both wholesale oil prices and retail gasoline prices. Speculators have made billions of dollars on their trading of oil futures contracts. All of their profits come right out of our pockets.

    Even with a stable oil supply, there is a slow worldwide increase in demand for oil, which creates a long-term upward pressure on oil prices. However, with the relentless saber-rattling and war-mongering by Bush and Cheney in the last several years, and the more recent war talks by McCain and the Israelis, the oil futures markets are rife with speculation and paranoia. This war talk keeps ratcheting up the prices on the oil futures contracts and hence the wholesale spot market prices. It is an endless spiral of greed and paranoia.

    As long as there is no tough and effective oversight of the electronic oil futures markets by the Bush Administration, the oil prices will climb endlessly. These oil prices will be quickly followed by hikes in the retail gasoline prices at the pump. The 60% speculation share of the $4.25/gallon gasoline price, is about $2.55/gallon, which is what we consumers are paying to these oil speculators as a “service fee.” Not a bad “fee,” since the speculators produce no usable goods or services…Just a few large greedy oil futures traders helping themselves to your gas money.
    Without this added-on oil futures “service fee,” you would be paying about $1.75/gallon for gasoline. Write, call or smoke-signal your Representatives and Senators today and suggest that they read the June 2006 report by The U. S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations entitled, “The Role of Market Speculation in Rising Oil and Gas Prices.” Then demand that they investigate and then force the Bush Administration to firmly regulate the computerized oil futures contracts trading in New York, London and Dubai.

    This electronic oil price futures scandal is costing US drivers about $969,000,000.00 per day! That number is based on 60% speculation fee of a gasoline price of $4.25/gallon and on US 2004 consumption of 380,000,000 gallons/day. Tell you Senators and Congresspersons to simply shut down this unregulated electronic oil futures contract trading market. Then the price of gasoline will slowly drop to about $1.75/gallon…The only way that oil price futures contracts make money is if the price of oil goes up in the future, say, 30, 60 or 90 days later. This futures market serves no social need. It is just for corporate greed. The corporate speculators are probably also gaming/ENRONing the wheat and corn futures markets the same way.

    roger2 “…are you saying its wrong for candidate supporters to express such strong views?.”

    What strong view?
    The comment in question is anything but a strong view. It is a weak, demeaning and sick attempt at humor.
    It’s not a statement by any stretch of the imagination.


  37. Fred Says:

    As long as it’s inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it.

    Is this not exactly what a serial rapist would say?

    A strong view would be what Rev Wright has said when he speaks to the inate racism that exists in republican white America, but that will not be allowed because obviously the white racists are in power.


  38. christopher wiwi Says:

    Me thinks the troll went trolling elsewhere…..


  39. Freedom Rebel Says:

    Williams said that he needed to help McCain raise money to stop an Obama campaign that would enact “socialist” policies if elected to office.

    “Much of the media, particularly the TV media, are to the left,” Williams told the newspaper. “To combat that we must have money to put our case to the people. We are way behind on [fundraising]. If Obama wins, it could move our country to the left, from which we will not recover.”

    Williams needs a reality check, I think the Texas sun has completely fried this man’s brain. And there are actually Republicans on the ABC website posting comments to this original article that aren’t taking issue with what he has said about rape. Oh NO, they are bashing Obama about Rev. Wright, like there is anything to compare. In the same breath calling Obama a social elitist, those people are nuts. Not one of them expressed any outrage whatsoever.

    On another note, don’t any of his many campaign workers do a background check or research on a person wanting to host a fundraiser? I think it’s time he found some new help, the lobbyists he hired don’t seem to know how to use Goggle.


  40. Dr. Hussein Matt Says:

    Just imagine the fake outrage from Faux if Obama was closely tied to a fund raiser that said “Rape is like the weather, if it’s inevitable relax and enjoy it.”

  53. 5th Estate Says:

    According to ‘Rogerese’s Thesaurus’:

    Rape: Coerced sexual activity, invariably violent.

    Synonyms:
    1)Favorable mortgage
    2)Political nepotism

    Example: “A Central Park jogger who was found bruised and bloody and currently lies in a coma was determined to have recieved favorable mortgage terms furing the attack, according to doctors. Police suspect an agressive mortgage broker with political ties and are canvassing the public for information.”

    As to McCain’s reaction, all he has to decide is whter the money os worthy more than the ‘guilt by association’ charge.

    300K is a lot to turn down even for a front runner. Clinton returned far less than that in similar circumstances and Bush if I remember rightly donated a couple of grand to charity but kept 80% of a donation from a dubious source when it was publicized.

    300K though is a lot of money from a single source, and a hell of a lot given McCain’s finances. I’ll bet the McCain campaign will rely in the MSM to completely ignore this “gotcha”, do nothing for a week and it will all be over. He’ll keep the money.

    Personally I don’t care about the money, and the guilt by association game is easily played but rarely of any real use–politicians have to lie down with dogs to gwt elected–it’s whether they get up with fleas that matters and McCain has plenty of fleas already so one more isn’t a big deal to me in this circumstance. There are bigger issues to challenge McCain on–huge ones in fact.

    pmavrk,

    Dude, you need to chill!

    Talking to the leaders of other countries isn’t appeasement. If it is, then Dubya is doing that as we speak on his farewell personal space invading dog and pony show.

    And which terrorists are being appeased? Maybe OBL, but that is because Dubya “Doesn’t care where he is and doesn’t think much abiout him anymore”. Maybe because of the Bush Crime Family ties to his family?

    And social programs like retaining Social Security, a national health care plan like almost every other industrialized nation has or maybe a decent GI Bill for us returning combat veterans to use? Guess those aren’t as important as funding an illegal invasion, a bridge to nowhere, no-bid contracts to Halliburton and Blackwater.

    And if you are so worried about your own safety, it is probably because if someone does shoot you or rape your family, it will be with a gun they bought from a gun show fanatic because they could.

    As I say, this is too easy.

    http://www.dailykos.com/ storyonly/ 2008/ 6/ 10/ 10532/ 8283/ 610/ 533309

    The Lugar-Obama Cooperative Threat Reduction.
    Introduced by Sen. Barack Obama, Sen. Dick Lugar and Sen. Tom Coburn. First introduced in November 2005 and enacted in 2007, this bill expanded upon the successful Nunn-Lugar threat reduction, which helped secure weapons of mass destruction and related infrastructure in former Soviet Union states.
    Lugar-Obama expanded this nonproliferation program to conventional weapons — including shoulder-fired rockets and land mines.

    Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006
    This act of Congress, introduced by Senators Obama and Coburn, required the full disclosure of all entities or organizations receiving federal funds in FY2007.

    Democratic Republic of the Congo Relief, Security, and Democracy Promotion Act.
    This law helped specify US policy toward the Congo, and states that the US should work with other donor nations to increase international contributions to the African nation.

    Honest Leadership and Open Government Act
    In the first month of the 110th Congress, Obama worked with Sen. Russ Feingold to pass this law, which amends and strengthens the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995.
    Specificially, the changes made by Obama and Feingold requires public disclosure of lobbying activity and funding, places more restrictions on gifts for members of Congress and their staff, and provides for mandatory disclosure of earmarks in expenditure bills.

    The Obama-McCain Climate Change Reduction Bill
    The Obama-McCain bill, which is co-sponsored by Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., would cut emissions by two-thirds by 2050.

    The Comprehensive Nuclear Threat Reduction provision.
    Working with Sen. Hagel and Rep. Adam Schiff, Obama authored this provision, which would require the president to develop a comprehensive plan for ensuring that all nuclear weapons and weapons-usable material at vulnerable sites around the world are secure by 2012 from the threats that terrorists have shown they can pose.

    prn etc: Democrats as well as Reblicans have skeletons in the closet.

    Indeed they do, and progressives complain about them ad-nauseum, all the damn time; “simeless democrats” is a common refrain, “Clinton = Bush” is another common charge.

    The things that separate McCain from Osama are very clear. McCain was a war hero who spend time as a POW.

    ‘Cute’ transposition of ‘Osama’ for Obama, moron.
    Obama was 16 when the Vietnam war ENDED, you dumb f–k! And like you and a hundred million other Americans he never joined the military–so not a lot of opportunity to become a war hero, was there?

    McCain’s 6 years as a POW doesn’t qualify him for anything other than sympathy and admiration at his endurance. Anything he’s done since for the common good has been negsted five-fold by every self-serving utterence and action over his entire political career and most expecially since 2004.

    Saying that rape victims should “lie back and enjoy it” is merely a “strong view.”

    John McCain taking money from a person with such a “strong view” is doing “the right thing.”

    However it is important keeping the comments open. It is important to hear the ‘Right’s’ arguments–sometimes they can catch one off-guard, (though I’ve invariably I;ve found a claim about which I was completely ignorant I’ve found through research to be easily debunked).

    I think that LFG is in support of the premise that MLK, Jr. was most likely not a Republican. In his time, neither was he a Democrat. His primary goal was equality for everyone in every sense.

    Maybe we ought to be thankful that Dubya went AWOL from the ANGUS. With his limited intelligence and total lack of common sense, who knows how much damage he would have inflicted on our troops and weaponry.

    Ohhhhh, wait …… He has done all that damage, just 35 years later.


  105. pete Says:

    Ah yes. The fear of “change” that drives the conservative.

    First, just to get it out of the way, the biggest “change” offered by Obama is a return of accountability to the Executive Branch. We the People need to take care of weeding the Legislative Branch.

    The Judicial Branch is where the real battles will be fought and Obama’s, hypothetical, first hundred days will largely depend on how swiftly and ruthlessly he purges appointed Bushbots. If there’s a single Liberty U grad left after, say, 6 months? He’ll be in serious trouble.

    Second, the “change” offered by Obama is an honest assessment of remedies to existing problems. And, unless he takes on greater dictatorial powers than Bush himself, he will still need Congress to draft the legislation. The Reichwing hysteria that seems to include fears that, with a pass of his pen, Obama will force wholesome youth to marry animals of the same sex and he’ll take away our cars and boats; are ridiculous.

    Third: The next President is going to have to devote his entire term to fixing emergencies inherited from Bush including what could well be a full-blown depression and two occupations of hostile lands. Where the Hell would they find the time to promote: atheism, immorality, communism, Islam, black racism, white racism, radical black Christianity, abortion, gay marriage, polygamy, bestiality, pedophilia, misogyny, miscegenation, kiddie-porn, socialism, globalization and foreign languages?

    Speaking only for myself. I am thrilled at the opportunity to vote for someone who might take risks to fix things that are effed up. And I’ll tolerate beginners mistakes. But there’s no way in Hell I could conservatively support letting things ride and hoping the law of averages will eventually help. Four more years of neocon control could well destroy what good is left in the grand American experiment. I am not willing to risk that.


  106. ninique Says:

    Ok, so I know this sounds corny but-

    Tracy Russo, you go girl!

    Senator McCain should publicly reject and denounce this man.

    And he should apologize immediately and completely to his female supporters for daring to entertain the thought of keeping company with this despicable, disgusting individual.

    Rape isn’t something that’s funny, it’s tragic. It’s a blight on all of society. Women should be able to trust Senator McCain to recognize that, and to do the right thing.

    Good to see that you are back in action and strong as ever.

    Here is my take on these wack jobs…

    Blue State Bob on #62,
    Don’t forget about the 58000 Americans that died when the democrat Lyndon B. Johnson sent them to Vietnam. pmavrk is not such a knucklehead when you compare the 4100 military deaths under Bush to the 58000 caused by your democratic president.

    Chocolate Jesus on #50,
    Better do some research to find out who the real racists have been in American history. I get the feeling that your ancestors were on the wrong end of some very bad acts by the racist democrats, who incidently started the KKK. I also get the feeling that your liberal friends on this board and in the media have failed to tell you the truth.

    Woodguy on #113,
    You are a socialist of the worst order. Did you grow up in the former USSR? You are surly not an American. I pray that our nation will not fall for the idiocracy that you believe in.

I already get mad at my pay stubs for taxes and ending tax cuts and having new government programs wont help that cringe.

    First, as has been pointed out, the bill is coming due and no matter who becomes predident, they will raise taxes. Who gets elected will just decide who will bear the brunt of the taxation……simple if you think about it and oh so obvious.

    Oh and those government programs that you hate….like the FDA and FEMA. Those were valuable programs that did essential tasks for Americans. Under the republicans they have been defunded and rendered utterly useless just so they can be called a failure and abolished…….sorry I want them back and you guys are going to help pay for them…..wait and see.

    Care to explain why we are in the economic crisis today? Please this should be good……lets’ see…..hmm…yep Clinton did it….no no, it was the democratic congress that took over in 06, yeah, that’s the ticket….it’s their fault.

    What kind of facts are you looking for. the fact that Obama hangs out with terrorists like William Aires. The fact that Obama went to a racist church for 20 years. How about Obama’s association with Tony Resko?

    Obviously, Troll Central is trying to save money on paper and no longer printing up their talking points. That leaves pee mavrk to try to transcribe names from the morning briefing.

    How else to explain his consistent misspellings of the names of tangential (at best) figures that they’re desperately using to try to smear Obama?

    Not even serial numbers, Nevar. I think the numbers are a scorecard of how many blogs they’ve been banned by. Or chicks that told them to get lost. I’m not sure the troll brain can tell the difference.

    Either way, when a person takes a number, instead of a name, it indicates an ant-like hive mentality. A communist drone of the first order. And our trolls don’t even realize they sacrifice the best part of their humanity in order to conform. The world would be richer without them.

If they chose to believe the crap their masters feed them? There’s not a lot we can do. But, the truth of the matter is, Bushco has ravaged the wealth of the future and the trolls will hurt just as much, if not more, than anyone when the bills come due. The only conclusion a rational person can make is that they plan to die before the collection agency starts calling. I guess it just sucks to be their kids.

    exactly they think big government will solve all the problems. unknowingly it only has a negative affect on an economy. Or is that their Goal?

    This troll, for instance, doesnt realize that liberal government isn’t expected to solve ALL problems, but the conservative government isn
    t expected to solbe ANY. In fact, its track record is that of creating many more.

    It also doesn’t realize that, based on results, government has a negative effect on the economy primarily when REPUBLICANS are in control.

    Yet it thinks that, because Republicans are incompetent at governing, this means that government can’t work. Silly troll. Perhaps it ought to adopt more evidence-based practices. But then that would make it a liberal…


  148. pete Says:

    Walt. Do you have any idea what he’s complaining about?


  149. pete Says:

    You make many inaccurate presumptions pmavrk. I’m an old school conservative who voted against JFK. Today? I’m a one issue “liberal” who wants our government to be accountable to the people who employ them. And I God damn well guarantee that I’m more conservative than any Bushbot neocon.

    They are reckless radicals who have defied the will of the People. And they have made us pariahs on the world stage. And I will gladly pay for any half-baked social program to begin atonement for the idiotic crimes committed in our name.


  150. ralph the wonder llama Says:

    pete, it’s kind of funny the trolls keep trying to tag you as a “big government lib”.

    Just goes to show they don’t pay attention to their surroundings.

    Of course, their support of the “Borrow and Spend” big-government Bush administration is adequate proof of that.


  151. pete Says:

    Perhaps I wasn’t clear? Bush invaded an innocent nation in MY name! That is unforgivable. Period. End of story. No negotiation.

    Then there’s the whole issue of defying the subpoenas of our duly elected legislators. Every little nuance of our democracy makes oversight explicit. Bushco has defied oversight. So? They have to go. They are criminals by definition.


  152. pete Says:

    ralph, it’s the whole, “with me or against me” mindset. They can’t conceive the idea that the good ol’ U.S.A, God and Jesus could be wrong. Then there’s faulty education, bad parenting, and a juvenile avoidance of responsibility.

    Ho Chi Minh was killing south vietnamese

    What is the difference? Sounds to me that the democrats are not as peace loving as most would believe.

    WTF? Are you retarded or just illiterate?

    I have tried to explain that I don’t see our country’s immediate future in “left/right” terms. I think in “right/wrong” terms. Any honest assessment will conclude that our government has done much wrong. It’s going to be drawn-out, painful, and expensive to right those wrongs.

    I can’t make this any clearer: I would vote for a amoeba who promised to start paying our legitimate debts. No one in the GOP has proposed any such thing. They lose.

    I agree with you, pmavrk. Many of us don’t actually worship Clinton or the ground he walks upon, but actually disagree with him on a lot of this. NAFTA was one of them for me personally. If corporations want subsidies, they should not be allowed to outsource jobs or something,imho…


  159. ucsbclassics53 Says:

    but I wonder if any Republican or Democrat would have the guts to actually write a law about that…

    One good thing about Bush’s oil price revolution is that; the profit margin will go up on domestic goods! If profit remains king? That’s a good thing. Too bad every other good, and most services, will go up too.


  161. pete Says:

    BTW. Our pet troll may want to do some research on paying debts as we go and avoiding lawful oversight. Two categories that neocons have been found lacking.


  162. ucsbclassics53 Says:

    Contrary to popular opinion, the ACLU does defend Christians…including one Christian who was protesting Walmart’s stance on TEH GAYS…


  163. pete Says:

    Ya’ gotta givem credit, usb. That evil ACLU has set policies that have nearly bankrupted the country.

    What’s that? he ACLU doesn’t set policy? Why are they evil?


  164. pete Says:

    Oops! That should be “the ACLU”.

    Who cares? They are all just Islamofacists anyway, sarc/off


  165. pete Says:

    Hello? No devastating response?


  166. pete Says:

    Ya’ got two minutes to reply or, you’re a commie, fag, junkie with the brain of a lancelet.


  167. Gregor Samsa Says:

    There you go again, ucsbclassics53, trying to inject facts into the discussion.

    Why, oh why, do you hate America?


  168. pete Says:

    Ding! Ding! Ding!

    We have a loser! You win a “Cheney” for outstanding cowardice in the face of reality.


  169. Gregor Samsa Says:

    So the troll is saying that FoxNews made the ACLU toe the line?

    LOL

    That must be one of the stupidest statements ever typed by a mindless conservatroll & Bush boot licker.


  170. pete Says:

    But Gregor. We must make an occasional attempt at educating the bottom 25%. The sooner they become 24% the better.

    I must admit this “new” breed of troll is not very challenging. But? Much like roaches, you stomp the trolls that remain when the light goes on.


  172. pete Says:

    I just might agree with you, pmavrk, except for one thing.

    I’ll begin by saying we would be in far better shape if McCain had received the nomination in 2000. However, McCain has a 30 year history of saying something while voting against it. That’s how he received his “maverick” nickname.

    And, his lust for the Presidency has driven him mad. Since he announced his candidacy he has managed to contradict every “staunch position” he’s ever propounded. At least once.

    In fact, he seldom gets through a speech, interview, and sometimes a single sentence, without contradicting himself. He’s no “maverick”. He’s a loose cannon who promises more reckless policy. And his selling out American soldiers is beyond treason. It’s just plain, mean, political hackery. He could have built a future in 2000, but, he squandered his ability to fix Bushco’s follies in gaining the nomination. And he’s made it worse since.


  173. pete Says:

    Rambling? If you can’t keep up go to bed.

    You display more of your ignorant, primitive, fear with each post. I couldn’t care less if you are a realist or delusional. If you choose to vote? Vote your conscience.

    But. If you want to spread lies and fantasies? Pick a less relevant forum. Try Psychochristians(TM) and fools for your obsolete subservience. I’ll choose to remain active in shaping the future.


  174. pete Says:

    G’night good people.
    You too trolls.

    ucsbclassics53 —

    ohm you mean that same ACLU that tried to tear a cross off of a war memorial in San Diego. That same ACLU that sued the boyscouts because they would not hire a gay boy scout leader? That same ACLU that sued a city forcing it to paint over the crosses on patrol cars but does not bat an eye when the koran is required reading in public schools?

    http://www.american-partisan.com/cols/2002/king/qtr3/0819.htm
    http://www.traditionalvalues.org/pdf_files/ACLU.pdf

    Finally, THAT SAME ACLU that allowed muslim foot baths in the University of Michigan without batting an eye. Please do not tell me that the Anti Christian Liberal Union is not anti christian. They are anti christion at the core.

    They may have taken on very few cases to appear fair. However, if you take your head out of the sand, you will see thta their actions speak volumes about where they really stand.

    Perhaps YOU should take your head out of the sand…They have a clear stance when it comes to individuals practicing their religion and getting persecuted for it. But when governments like city and state governments try to impose religion, then they step in. Your myopia over the issue is astounding, and your attempts to brush off these clear examples as mere posturing shows your inability to see past your biases and objectively look at the facts.


  176. ucsbclassics53 Says:

    your myopia and inability to look past your bias and ignore the facts for mere talking points, drock23 are a joke…


  177. ucsbclassics53 Says:

    but I’m sure if Bush and his administration told you that if they needed your records to keep you safe, you’d be fine with that…
