Sorry. The Compassion Forum. CNN is airing it right now. There's a live feed on their website, but I don't feel like touching that piece of crap right now.

Messiah College has been selected to host The Compassion Forum, an unprecedented bipartisan presidential candidate forum dedicated to discussing pressing moral issues that bridge ideological divides within our nation. Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator Barack Obama have accepted the invitation to participate in the Forum. Senator John McCain has thus far declined the invitation, which is still open. The Compassion Forum is scheduled for 8 p.m. on Sunday, April 13, in Brubaker Auditorium, and will be covered by mainstream media and religious media outlets alike. CNN is the exclusive broadcaster of The Compassion Forum and will televise and stream the event live from 8-9:30 p.m.



Huh.

I always love the term "moral issues," aka "stuff I don't like, and so I think other people shouldn't like it either."

Somehow it doesn't surprise me that McCain passed on a "Compassion Forum." He probably won't go to any about economics, either.

Let us not forget his rather enlightening opinion of the guards who imprisoned him during the Vietnam War.

Well, let's just hope he won't be President.... that way he can avoid needing to know anything important.

"I hate the gooks," McCain said yesterday in response to a question from reporters aboard his campaign bus. "I will hate them as long as I live."



Are you fucking kidding me? People actually want to vote for this man?

There WAS coverage of it, it aired eight years ago after he said it.

McCain does get a relatively free ride from the press. I should think that someone in the Asian-American community may bring it back at some point in the general election. How it's put out there (and by who, and per whatever the political currents are at the time) will probably determine how much mileage the press gives it. Though honestly, they don't determine how much press it gets. We do.

Apparently he confessed in a 60 minutes interview in 1997 that he is war criminal as well.

"I am a war criminal," McCain said on 60 Minutes in 1997. "I bombed innocent women and children." Although it came too late to save the Vietnamese he'd killed 30 years earlier, it was a brave statement. Nevertheless, he today smiles agreeably as he hears himself described as a "war hero" as he arrives at rallies in a bus marked "No Surrender."



I'm looking forward to clips of that turning up sometime soon.

No surrender must be a joke too. I'd still consider his capture and subsequent torture pretty heroic, the guy did wait a whole 4 days before he started giving up military information in return for medical attention.

Also, two years in solitary confinement is pretty extreme. Thats probably the source of his insanity.
Prolonged solitary confinement was known to cause severe psychiatric and even physical disturbances even before the 20th century.

How did a Democratic debate suddenly shift to a bash McCain thread? Not that there is anything wrong about bashing McCain (I prefer the ones where you bash his policies not the man himself) just wondering why the thread jumped tracks... also Obamas hands freak me out since they look tiny and boney on television O_o but I wont hold that against him

oh, well its his loss since he shouldn't think he will get the religious vote just because he is Republican and this should really help the Democrats get back some of the religious voters they have been loosing lately.

I put this on for about 30 seconds. The moderator asked Clinton something along the lines of "why would god make innocent people and children suffer?" WTF is that? A five year old asking questions?



Commercial over, back the the Sox game.
