Video: Pastor Rick confirms McCain NOT in "Cone of Silence" during Obama Q&A

By GottaLaff


Video via CNN.

Of course, there would be no access to the televised Fake Forum Q & A with Obama in J Sid's limo, right? So he'd have absolutely no idea about the questions that were about to come his way, nor any chance of his "people" prepping him.

Of course not. Because straight-talking P.O.W.s and pastors don't lie. And the audience didn't pay $2000 to clap extra loud in support of their guy. And Orange County, CA (where I happened to have passed through yesterday) isn't skewed Republican either.

All in all, this was a fair and balanced forum, wouldn't you agree?

Busted. So much for faith.

Adrienne said...

Liar, Liar...what if the shoe had been on the other foot? Can you even imagine the outrage, and the accusations of media favoritism?

Pastor Warren just admitted he lied. And now we're supposed to believe that he's telling the truth about McCain NOT watching the first half hour or so? How'd they flip that coin if McCain wasn't even there? BULLSHIT, PURE BULLSHIT.

GottaLaff said...

Yep. And nothing will come of it. Just another pack of lies, same ol', same ol', move along.

I've just spent the last forty five minutes buried at DailyKos reading about the McCain-Solzhenitsyn story, and i am really in a sour mood, snd then I read this, and now I'm bordering on revenge fantasy. No one messes with one of my favorite authors. NO ONE! YOU HEAR ME, JOHN McCRIBBER!!!!!

I really need a chill pill.
Liar, liar, JSid's pants are on fire.

GottaLaff said...

Oh, they burned long ago. He's been running around nakers for years. Shhh.

Ew. Okay. Really bad visual.

Kirsten said...

But it made me laugh, which I needed.

I need to go make some lunches for my babies.

GottaLaff said...

Kiss 'em all for me. Even if they hate it.

Uh, trust McCain's campaign not to cheat?

That's what an Evangelical debate boils down to? Just trust Republicans? No checks. No balance. Just trust em?

Yeah, that's what their government policies boiled down to as well, and look where it's gotten us.

We already KNOW we can't trust them, so this isn't even a debate.

GottaLaff said...

No, but it is the status quo.

Anonymous said...

Yes Adrienne,

The Pastor just admitted he lied. On national TV, a pastor lied.

I guess it'd be news if it wasn't just expected at this point.

But nobody should just gloss over the fact that CNN just caught Warren in a flagrant lie that goes to the heart of the extremely questionable integrity of his debate.

Also, if the debate was rigged, and the pastor knew about it, then his bias makes his entire church a target for any IRS agent that has any integrity at all.

Political bias from Warren puts the tax exempt status of his church in peril. And cheating for McCain or helping McCain get away with cheating that night is political bias.

How can you ever trust someone who counts on being forgiven every Sunday? Wonder if this is the same kind of ministry that Rev McCain ran in the Hanoi Hilton?

shaddomagg said...

I cannot believe what I just heard. No one was watching McC*ntry for the period preceeding the conversation,and yet we are to believe he was honouring the rules of the game? Give me a break people!! This is just simply too much!!

Adrienne said...

Anon, I agree. I just wish those in the media would do their damn jobs for once.

Note to Sanchez: Follow up question to Warren's revelation that Senator McCain wasn't even at the church when the forum began, should have been--So you LIED to your congregation and all the teevee viewers? You LIED, sir?

cone of fucking BULLSHIT.

GottaLaff said...

He cheated on Cindy McMealTicket, why wouldn't he cheat on his Religious Exam?

I just emailed K. Olbermann about this and begged that he cover it. I heard the interview by Rick Sanchez this afternoon. Rick Warren sounds as if he was really trying to minimize the whole thing. Warren made such an issue of both Obama and McCain being isolated and not knowing the questions in the lead up to this forum.
I remember thinking, when McCain was answering that he sure was quick with his answers, answering before Warren stopped talking. Now I know why.
I've been looking all afternoon and this is the first mention I've seen of it on the blogs.

Anonymous said...

1. Warren says he thought McCain was in the building.

2. In the next sentence he says he gave Obama a question in advance because McCain wasn't in the building.

Hmmmm... whoops. Warren isn't a very good liar. He did know McCain wasn't there.

And it bothered them enough that they "flat out asked him" about not being there and did he hear any of the questions.

So Warren did just lie. He did know McCain wasn't in the building when he said on air that he was in a "cone of silence." He lied on TV to millions of people in order to preserve the fake integrity of his sham debate.

GottaLaff said...

Anon, thanks. Rick Sanchez was also the one who practically hyperventilated to the point of wheezing when he accused Wes Clark of Swiftboating Saint POW:

geha714 said...

Integrity? He trusted McCain's integrity? Really?

Republicans have no integrity...

He knew the questions, period.

Adrienne said...

Now, my blood pressure is through the roof. I always manage to get worked up late at night.

Warren can't get his lies straight. McCain won't be able to get his lies straight b/c he won't remember what he said. And the media will look the other way and/or accuse Senator Obama of whining. Just watch. First out of the gate will be Morning Joe, if the Olympics aren't on instead.

In what chapter of The Purpose Driven Life does Pastor Warren cover honesty and integrity?

sour grapes..your messiah can't handle the heat...sour grapes! rflmao..LAY OFF THE KOOL AID!!!

If you can handle it, check out what the McCain camp says about this right above. http://thepoliticalcarnival.blogspot.com/2008/08/mccain-didnt-cheat-because-hes-former.html

I can't take this much longer.

That would be Chapter 42, "The Purpose Driven Lie"

Adrienne said...

lol, The Purpose Driven Lie.

For some reason, I keep hearing that Doobie Brothers song in my head ..."Jesus is just alright with me, Jesus is just alright, oh yeah..."

Anonymous said...

"Pastor Warren, you're a good man." Ugh..what kind of reporting is that?

Adrienne said...

Rick Sanchez isn't a journalist. He's just another corporate coward...or whore.

CNN even took the story off it's website b/c the McCain campaign has gone apeshit and threatened them. So, naturally, CNN caved. McCain's campaign also sent a threatening letter to Steve Capus at NBC complaining about this story. I wonder if they'll fold like a cheap lawn chair too.

writerross said...

Total difference between Warren saying they had a sense of where the questions would be heading in advance of the "forum" vs complete black out from the 2nd to Go on stage. How could they have flipped a coin to see who goes first if Old John was sitting in his limo en route to the church while Obama was walking and talking on stage? Damn those damn liars.

Out out with the trash they go.

Anonymous said...

Obama got to the forum on time, prepared to follow all the items that were negotiated in advance with Pastor Rick Warren and was told, "We had a coin toss with someone playing you and you lost and McCain decided to go last." I can imagine how steamed Obama & Co. were and then he has to go on TV and be respectful towards lying sack of sh*t Rick Warren.

Adrienne said...

Anon, that was how that "coin toss" worked? Seriously?

Ah man...what a farce.

Jayne4Obama said...

I am so sick and tired of the set ups laid at McCain's feet. Obviously his party knows he's not capable of handling this stuff without cheating!
He answered the questions before Rick was finished answering them - how obvious can you possibly be?
I can just see how these strategy sessions went "ok, we know Obama is a thoughtful man - we'll give you the questions and prepare your answers to make you look concise & certain and have him look unsure"
What a crock of bull!

David G. said...

Boy, Rev Rick sure was mealy-mouthed and double talking in this post event interview. He double talks just like a politician. And not a well prepared one. D.

So wait a minute.. I'm supposed to trust a national pastor (when virtually every single pastor in the past has been a complete lying twit stealing money from his congrgation) and trust a republican (when republicans have been lying so much they cant even keep thier lies straight) and im supposed to believe that a debate held on known republican stronghold in an evangelical church will have a fai and non-partisian audience willing to listen to both sides? Okay sure I buy all of that.. By the way..since I am in NJ, I have a couple of bridges and tunnels I am trying to get rid of...at a fair price I'm sure.

Paul said...

I KNEW IT!!!

After the first couple of questions I immediately knew that McCain knew the questions before they were asked.

It was soo obvious!

The only way a Repuke can be elected it to Lie, Cheat and Steal!

mark said...

McCHEATER

NBC and NYT backed up that McCain wasn't sequestered. Even Bill Kristol had to revise his snide(does he have anything else) column in the online version....HA!

McCain wouldn't cheat...(ix-nay on-way ich-ray onde-blay istress-may)
