Bubriski steps back from Palin comment

Barack Obama's FL Communications director Mark Bubriski the other day e-mailed the Herald his defense of Robert Wexler's comments about Sarah Palin:  "Palin was a supporter of Pat Buchanan, a right-winger or as many Jews call him: a Nazi sympathizer," he wrote.

Today, Bubriski said this: "My previous statement about Gov. Palin is not only factually incorrect, but it also does not at all reflect Sen. Obama's views or the position of his campaign."

Some more background  on the Palin/Buchanan connection is here.

"My previous statement about Gov. Palin is not only factually incorrect, but it also does not at all reflect Sen. Obama's views or the position of his campaign."

Now, this is a news flash.

WEXLER IS AN IDIOT RACE-BAITER.

COUNTRY FIRST

Nice move!!! Psot this story late at night. More media bias. He was wrong about Palin and this is just another pathetic example of media bias!!!!

Wexler the democratic Congressmen that does not even live in his district in FL, is a hate monger that will get ousted soon.

Great Convention Tonight,

Thompson laid out why Palin is a GREAT choice over The One.

She's managed a $2.5 Billion budget and 25,000 employees in direct contrast to Obama's Community Organizing where he ran the Annenberg Challenge for Terrorist, William (Bill) Ayers and promptly missed the goal by 85% and shut down 4 years early.

Lieberman..."he's a nice young man".

Why's the Democratic ticket upside down?

[Bob]

I don't see why Bubriski had to retract his comment. Palin/McCain clearly will have a problem with Jewish voters. Not only did Palin support Buchanan, but her nutty church preaches ugly anti-semitic views. Palin sat in church the same day her preacher described terrorist attacks on Israel as "God's judgment." Disgusting. McCain should push for Palin's withdrawal, although it's probably too late already.

Already been debunked, "Bob". She wore a button because Pat was in Alaska for a stop.

Lieberman supports she and McCain and this picture clearly shows an Isreali flag in her office:

Good try, though!

[New York Times...Palin Unqualified]

If John McCain wants voters to conclude, as he argues, that he has more independence and experience and better judgment than Barack Obama, he made a bad start by choosing Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska.

To us, it says the opposite. Mr. McCain’s snap choice of Ms. Palin reflects his impulsive streak: a wild play that he made after conservative activists warned him that he would face an all-out revolt in the party if he chose who he really wanted — Senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut.

For Mr. McCain to go on claiming that Mr. Obama has too little experience to be president after almost three years in the United States Senate is laughable now that he has announced that someone with no national or foreign policy experience is qualified to replace him, if necessary.

Mr. McCain’s hurdles are substantial. To start, he has to overcome Mr. Bush’s record of failures. (The president addressed the convention Tuesday night and now, McCain strategists fervently hope, will retire quietly to the Rose Garden.) That record includes the disastrous war in Iraq, a ballooning deficit, the mortgage crisis — and the list goes on.

To address those many problems, this country needs a leader with sound judgment and strong leadership skills. Choosing Ms. Palin raises serious questions about Mr. McCain’s qualifications.

THE NEW YORK TIMES

Sorry, NYTimes,

You're opinion doesn't carry weight here.

You've had writers resign over plagiarism and now you're supporting a candidate that a) hangs out with racists, b) works with terrorists and c) plagiarizes others' work.

Americans want REAL people with REAL problems to help get things done.

Obama is a blank slate supported by racists, terrorists, and corporate hacks (aka George Soros).

McCain SERVED his country and Mrs. Palin IS her country.

Obama's not ready now, GET GONE, NY Times.

Why's the Dem ticket upside down anyway?

11:58 conveniently skipped over Bob's (11:47) mention of Palin's wingnut anti-semitic church because he knows that it's absolutely true. It should be in all the media by now.

So how was Bush's address? I didn't watch because I can't stand to listen to his lies any longer. Is he still unrepentant for the murder of the 4000+ troops he sent to die in Iraq for Exxon-Mobil profits?

Wexler should apologize publicly. Bubriski should resign.

12:45 who cares about Bush? He's nut running. Get over yourself.

Thompson is right. The media are in a frenzy over Palin. McCain outfoxed the Dems. They are going to lose in a landslide and the lefties (Dems and media) know it.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Let's not forget who got the BUSH endorsement and hired Karl Rove]

McCain = McBush = McSame

That's really all you need to know to make your decision.

I believe it's Barack Obama that hangs with Racist Preachers, Terrorists, and Corrupt Billionaires.

In addition to Rev. Wright calling our great country the US of the KKK A and Bill Ayers bombing our Pentagon and killing innocent folks, Billionaire George Soros bought over $1 Billion worth of Petro Bras (found 2 HUGE offshore OIl fields) and Hess Corp. stock in the last 3 months. I bet the folks over at the Left Wing Loon web blogs would like to know.

Though, probably not, they hate this country and it seems you do, too.

Obama and his Cult Hate America

In my mind, McShame has clearly shown that he is not qualified to be President.

He would put this country in serious jeopardy and leave our safety at stake should his understudy take the lead. He gave up his duty and honor for the big prize; country be damned.

He has never deserved to lose more than at this moment.

John McCain: Prisoner Of W

Well after 2 Alaskan daily Newpapers came out against Palin it is going to be pretty hard for anyone else to editorialize in her favor.

[McToady = Traitor]

McToady - Skip, skip skip. Nobody pays any attention as soon as they realize it's you blathering. It's even easier for readers to skip than it is for you to cut and paste. You are a losing proposition. You're the epitome of what everyone hates about GOP politics. You're a traitor to the idea that we should elect the best candidates to office. YOU are the traitor, McToady. YOU hate America.

How many times are you going to post Obamabot?

The Dem ticket is upside down.

Obama cited his campaign as his experience today! Laughable! He gives speeches and a CEO runs the campaign.

Governor Palin has a $12 Billion budget and 15,000 employees.

Why's the Dem ticket upside down?

Why apologize for speaking the truth?

[McCain takes one for team USA.]

I still think McCain must have decided to "take one for the team." He knows this country can't survive another GOP administration. He chose Palin because he knew that would be the same as throwing the election. No other logical reason for such an absurd, flawed VP choice.

Yep....truth is, Obama's a community organizer.

He's not ready.

Dems screwed up big and they know it.

Shoulda chosen Hillary.

[Palin Forces her Daughters Lover to Quit High School]

Forced to Quit High School:

"Levi Johnston, a hockey player for Wasilla High School, is not listed on the team roster for 2008-09, and his mother wouldn't say if he graduated. She said simply he's no longer a student and any further information would have to come from him."

Yep, McCain is trying to lose. Even Gus Bilarakis would have been better.

What a joke, just like the anonymous haters above.

[Jason Straight]

The phone rings at three in the morning Palin answers out of a deep sleepwipes the sleep from her eyes "Are those Bears Eatin Trash Again..I told the chief to shootem from the Wasila Helicopter if they did that again"..As her thoughts clear she notices she is in the white house and another crisis occured ..she thinks "Oh My God Im not in Wasila !!

"Country First" sounds a lot like the empire records slogan...

"Damn the Man, Save the Empire"

Everything the McCain campaign does is old and lame.

He should be fired

Anyone is better than RACIST Obama.

Obama is NOT supportive of Israel. His "spiritual advisor", of 20 years, the Rev. Wright feels we deserved 9/11 because of our policies which support "state supported terrorism against the Palestinians". That's code for "supporting Israel".

As a Jew, for Wexler to support this man is handing Israel up to its enemies.

For shame!!

[Dave]

It is unbelievable to me that the press and these liberal blogger idiots are delving into this womans family, yet they leave out Obama's association with RACISTS, FELONS and TERRORISTS.

Their excuse: We have already looked into to all that, so it is old news.

Bull, so there is a pregnancy in her family, big deal. That is less of an issue to me than the thought of Bill Ayres and Rev Wright staying in the Lincoln Bedroom and helping the ONE make policy.

If you liberals would have just watched the speeches from Thompson and Liberman last night, you may have an idea why John McCain is the best choice for this country.

My guess is that most of you have never had to sleep without air conditioning let alone be tortured for almost 6 years.

Wake up, this man and his family are true American heros.

[BO's Dresser]

Jason---Have you purchased that pink Obama jacket yet? You are more and more sounding like our kind of guy. You need to contact us.

How much of a Nazi can somebody be if their hsband is an Eskimo??

Step down, step down, step down.

[Dave]

This is what you liberals are suffering from:

Cognitive Dissonance: an uncomfortable feeling or stress caused by holding two contradictory ideas simultaneously.

Obama said that we can not expect change if we keep moving the same people into different chairs.

Are you for or against bringing new people and ideas to DC or not? OR BOTH?

As a member of an Assemblies of God Church - and a Democrat, I am completely disgusted that someone would say that an AOG church is anti-Semitic. The AOG Church not only strongly supports Israel, but has supported many Jewish causes over the years. We love our Jewish brothers and sisters.

I really havent made up my mind in this election. I've been leaning towards Obama because I think change is good. But some of you are causeing me to rethink that with this vitriolic nastiness.

Obama would not be proud if he read these written comments.

[Dem thinking about voting against Obama]

If Obama is going to surround himself with people like Bubriski and Wexler, I might not vote for him. Wexler is a loose cannon like Bill Shaheen and should be treated the same way. Bubriski should be fired. Show some class, Obama campaign.

Good call, 8:57. I'm basing my vote on the the communications director in a state saying something stupid. I mean, I could vote on things like the war in Iraq, jobs, the environment, energy, taxes, education and nuclear proliferation, but the issue that sticks in my craw is the state-level staffers! Barack, you had me all the way until Florida's spokesperson said something mean.

9:05

You are right on one thing: Obama will be all over taxes; raising them on all of us and putting us into a DEPRESSION.

Don't fall for the "he will bring equity to taxation, or only the rich will be taxed or we will raise taxes on corporations" bit, he will hit everyone who pays taxes directly and everyone else indirectly.

[Daves not here]

"My guess is that most of you have never had to sleep without air conditioning let alone be tortured for almost 6 years"

Along with the rest of the country, I've been tortured for about 8 years now. But I guess to mooks like Dave it's just a little fraternity hazing.

9:12 how else do you propose to pay for infrastructure and services? Maybe privatize everything and sub it out to China? Pay as you go? Why do you hate your country so much that you dont want to pay for what you get out of it? Freeloading toe-tapper.

[Dave]

9:13 As always, you prove to be a mindless Obamabot. Younever discuss or debate the facts and always turn to name-calling.

I will take a true American Hero over some fairytale that the your butt-buddies in the liberal press invented.

[Dave]

9:25

Hey idiot, I know you do not read, but last fiscal year the feds took in record taxes. And yes, that was mostly from the EVIL RICH. I personally pay more in taxes than you earn.

You are a typical liberal; soak the producers in this country and then complain it is not enough.

Our Government is bloated at all levels. Mostly due to 80 years of tax and spend liberalism.

Learn the facts, get a job, and feel free to pass 100% of your earnings to your friends in DC.

Try a little history: Ever hear of JFK? He cut marginal rates to improve the economy. Guess what Einstein? It worked as it does every time it is tried.
