How many other plants are there at McCain's town hall meetings?

James T. Harris is a conservative talk radio host in Milwaukee: So why do we care about this man? Well, this is the same black man that stood up and told John McCain to go after Barack Obama. Now, no one in the McCain camp has said one word about Mr. Harris, or that he was a conservative talk show host in Milwaukee. John McCain wanted 10 of these "town hall meetings" with Barack Obama. How honest do you feel the McCain campaign has been with calling these "town hall meetings" when they have people like Mr. Harris in the crowd?

Are you saying that just because the man is a talk show host that he can't go to McCain's town hall meetings? Should he sit by and be quiet? I'm afraid I don't see what is wrong with him being there.

What I am saying is that someone from McCain's campaign should have come out and said that this is man is a conservative talk show host. It doesn't matter if they told him to ask the question, or if they didn't. It just doesn't look good when CNN has to find out who this guy is, and it wasn't very hard.

Now, TGD, you know the McCain camp wouldn't resort to something like that, how dare you even imply such a thing! McCain and Palin are all about honor and honesty, they're mavericks and reformers, it's Obama that couldn't be trusted! People like us are just stupid no-good liberals to even suspect such a thing about McCain - he's a POW, don't you know?

Ok, we can play this game. Let's extrapolate this a bit. How many plants at McCain rallies can we atribute to the Obama campaign? Like the people hollering out racial slurs or screaming for Obama's execution? Seems to me if I wanted to make my opponent or his supporters look bad, this would be a pretty effective tool. Nothing I have proof of or believe whole heartedly, but it would seem to me to be very well with in the realm of possibility and even probability.

Thank You, xfahctor,
I have been thinking the same thing. And don't worry, Your assertion is just as valid as any that the Democrats have brought up.

X, if these people were Obama supporters they would have been removed, and the other people in the crowd would have booed them. But, nothing like that happened, they were actually applauded in two of the meetings that I saw. With Palin's terrorist comments, hate speach would be a natural progression for the McCain people. Don't you find it interesting that we never heard anything like this when McCain was leading in the polls? But, I am sure this makes perfect sense to you X. Can you please explain this one to me?

What proof do you have that he is a plant? Is it because he is black Or Because he is a conservative that you think he can't form an opinion on his own? I had not seen this before but thanks for bringing it to our attention. I may just listen to him tomorrow.
Here is his show's website: I love the entry titled "The 3:00 am call?" Story Published: Sep 25, 2008 "Call me if you need me."
LOL I thought exactly the same thing.

A sampling of the comments left by open minded liberals:
"This guy is the biggest *ss kissing,sellout, wannabe white, beggin *ss c**n I have ever seen."
"Dear Lord, Uncle Ruckus is that you!? Silly negro. What an a embarrassment that house negroes like that still exist."
"1:24 looks like a fu**in dog waiting to be pat on the head by their owner."
"James...how do you like this "*ss whooping" you getting???? u got ur 5 mins of fame begging "sir McCain"...massa massa sir..."take it to him" i"m begging you. can i suck yo d!*k....massa..James dog...Dont ever beg another man for nothing, that aint cool."
"Wasn't this clown a fu**in disgrace. WOW!"
"this guy needs to hop off mccains balls and realize he's makin an *ss of himself "take to him...I'm beggin you" this guys a disgrace to black people everywhere he makin himslef look like Mccains house slave LOL."
And one more, remember these were just on the first page. All within 50 mins.
"Fu**in "house ni**er"!lol!! I try not 2 label anyone, but this guy just disgraced his ancestors and offspring indefinitely.Black republicans think they're brave for being the minority at these events.But, the fact is that those same white people give less than a f**k about issues in the black community.I bet Jeremiah Wright has
contributed far more 2 the black community than this monkey a** ni**a!
"What more can I say???

Oh now those comments shouldn't surprise you at all. You see, much like Sarah Palin, he violated the liberal code. Liberals are all about equal rights for black people and women... except when those people are republicans. Racism and sexism are permissible amongst liberals when directed at female, or black republicans. Colin Powell got no shortage of that garbage when he considered running for president and it's sad that black Americans are practically forced to be democrats lest they endure such treatment from the left. I still hear people like Chris Rock make jokes about how he would have been the first "brown" president because he's not "really black".

"Republicans, especailly whites, are alway throwing b.s. out about Black people, and Sen. Obama in particular. He's a 'terriost', 'pals around with terriosts', or 'lies about terriost activities', etc without offering any PROOF at all."
If you're such a fan of proof, perhaps you could provide some to back up your ridiculous statements just now?

Ever heard RUSH talk about the NAALCP?
The real problem with masterdebaters premise here is that he says there would have been plants in all of the town hall meetings that Barry chickened out of. But I guess he doesn't understand,that If BarryO HAD accepted the multiple challenges from McCain, the audiences would have been selected by a "neutral" (IOW Liberal) third party. Like someone from NPR. Where the "N" stands for Liberal.
Also Taskr, reread the new guys post. He is defending Truth. (haha New guy. like I'm an old veteran lol) still. Almost 500 posts baby. Cuttin' an pastin' I'll be doin' yeah!!!
