I think neither one is true necessarily. We all see people how we want to see them. In some respect McCain is a hero (those that can't believe I said that feel free to faint). In other respects, he has done things including painting Obama as Anti-American, which is disrespectful. Do I think Obama's perfect, no.

This is a radical board where many of the posters given a choice would see McCain dead than Ayatollah Ali Khamani.

McCain's not a villain. What he is, is an incompetent politician trying to run a negative campaign. Now, if he were running this campaign competently, people would see the nastiness, but they would also see the effectiveness, and he would garner a certain respect(grudging in some cases, to be sure) for his political skills and acumen. As it stands, though, all people are seeing is the nastiness, because there has so far been no tactical payoff.

As a comparison, imagine a comedian goes on stage, and tells the most revolting, scatological joke ever heard, and manages to bring down the house with it. The critics will hail the guy as a comic genius. But if another comedian goes on, tells a similar joke, and nobody laughs, he'll get written off as a foul-mouthed old hack. McCain is the comedian who keeps telling the same revolting, scatological joke over and over again, long after it's become apparent that no one is laughing.

Gopher.
I'm gonna tell you honestly. I thought you had a lot of integrity with your posts. You still do. But, you have become soooo mainstream. What's this new avatar?
It doesn't suit.
I just saw a little of that thread on the other page and there is a hostility that comes out that you can't shake off from others and you are not expressing yourself.
If I think when the change occured it was when that melancholic fester filled your left side of the screen. Although I dislike Nicholson, and had aimed insults as much to him as much to anything in your topic, please go back to him. The touching Obama photo is revolting.
I always thought you were a hard core Republican. Now it seems you are a namby pamby.
Obama looks like a fag in that photo.
Hey, is that the real reason you are using him?

Cheonmunka: thank you for your post. I like this shot of a pensive B. Obama and like to hope it reveals something about how he will approach the responsibilities that are about to devolve onto him.

As far as my earlier position on this thread goes: I saw four pics in a university building: B. Obama, J. Biden, J. McCain, and S. Palin. Guess which ones had the usual "devil" and "demon" marks penciled onto them? And guess which ones remain untouched?

It is hypocrisy for the left to claim that it is not constructing McCain-Palin as the villain, even in everyday settings like the one I reference, here.

Do Americans really see McCain as a villian? I think he is an ok guy, just he'll probably keel over before the end of the next term and would never vote for Sarah Palin.
