Cindy McCain calls Obama Campaign “The Dirtiest” in American History


Kate Howard @ The Tennessean reports on Cindy McCain’s visit to the Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt today, where she she described the Obama Campaign as “the dirtiest campaign in American history.”

From Howard’s report:

Cindy McCain said today that she expects her husband to clear the record at tonight’s debate and let America know where he truly stands.

McCain, who stopped to visit a half-dozen children at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt today, said the presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama has “waged the dirtiest campaign in American history,” and her husband Sen. John McCain will use tonight’s debate to correct the distortions.

“What I have found is that it’s necessary to make sure the American people understand what we have to say, what we stand for as a husband and wife, and what we will do for the American people if we’re lucky enough to be elected,” Cindy McCain said.

Cindy McCain, who has said she initially did not want her husband to enter the 2008 race after the contentious primary he lost to President George W. Bush, said this race is even nastier.

is she really living on this planet? - can you out of touch

 
Comment by mike

I have seen a lot of articles about race, tending to group white people together as prejudice when it comes to voting for the President in the Fall elections. Could it be that most Amercians do not trust Obama? Maybe it is his radical left wing ultra liberal policies that mirror socialism? Possibly his wrong outline on world affairs? Or his friends like Rezko, Wright, Ayers, and Farrakhan? I think it could be his flip flopping on every major concept/idea to appeal to all voters when he chooses to.

Cindy McCain is a wife supporter and defending her husband…kudos to her…..Obama/Biden 08/12

 
Comment by Rick Huffman

From an American hero in the lower 48′ an urgent call went out to the governor of a far northern state, “Our country needs a great VP, will this position you fill?”
A quick answer came back from the governor of a state known for its Permafrost, “Yes, I will.”

The two stood in unison, one a Vietnam vet, the other a Hockey mom, known for her true grit.

A campaign was raging, one to decide the vote. Would it go to a man of courage, or to one known for his association with those who support violent revolt?

The American people watched as this new VP candidate took the stage, “Who is she, what does she stand for? For our troubled country can she turn a new page?”
Without a moments hesitation Sarah went into battle, challenged by a biased press. After all, they said, “She’s a woman and even wears a dress.”

To defeat the accusations, many of them morally sick, she countered with a question, “What’s the difference between a Hockey mom and a Pit bull? Lipstick!”

Mainstream media still refused to accept her as a viable VP choice, using lies and innuendos in an attempt to silence her voice.

Her chance to prove them wrong came with a vice-presidential debate. A nation watched with apprehension as she spoke with surety and articulateness, giving intense support to her running mate.

History will reflect how effective she was. However, this much we know we need more Sarah Palins’. Moreover, yes, she has proven Alaska has more to offer than ice and snow.

I agree with Mrs. McCain and believe that Obama is unable to win by his own integrity, therefore, he has to cheat!

Comment by tina1

ummm so what was Bush “easy” claiming that you guys had a ‘black baby’ to scare those in the SOUTH please this should be NICE compared to this…

 
Comment by James T.

He runs a dirty campaign, yet she doesn’t elaborate on what she means? She sounds just like her husband. At the debate: McCain, what should we do to fix social security?: “It’s not hard to fix, we just need to make hard choices, and we all know what the problems are, my friends. — ” Yet he doesn’t say what the actual solution would be. Yes yes, we know the problem needs to be fixed and fast, but HOW to do you propose to do it!?!?! So I ask, HOW is it a dirty campaign. I mean, I can tell you HOW McCain has used tactics against Obama. Example: ‘The One’ commercial that McCain ran. If I was this lacking in references in a college paper I would flunk!! Give us specifics for goodness sake! I mean, they both are lying about each other and bashing each other. But seriously, saying this is the dirtiest election ever is a distortion itself and is a dirty tactic against Obama. Seriously. And she has to tell it to children because she knows adults with intelligence would get that statement itself is a smear.

Besides did she follow George Bush Sr’s campaigns?.. Now HE ran a dirty campaign.

 
Comment by Kat

Enough of the “My friend,” McCain is not the Maverick he once was . . and the condensending way he talks to Americans. Cindy McCain knows all about dirtiest talks, the Maverick started it . . .Why does McCain and Palin talk about the same things over and over, do they not have any new issues, or plans for us. McCain repeats and repeats his lies. In American History, McCain is the only one that has history.

Get back to the kitchen woman…..

 
Comment by Matt

Obama has carried out the dirtiest campaign ever? Has she been watching her husband’s for the past 2 weeks? They haven’t said anything of substance since the VP Debate and have sent Palin out touring the country with personal attacks at Obama.

 
Comment by GaYle Erdman

OH my GAWD! Cindy McCain, self-professed drug user, thief and adulterer is going to call Obama’s campaign dirty? The moralist Palin criticized Obama as she strips human being of their rights and rips off the American governement with her tax dodging? SHe is an attack mutt and a prostitue who has sold her soul to John McCain!

 
Comment by d

Cindy McCain has made a mistake. The nastiest campaign is the Palin/McCain campaign.

 
Comment by Gary

For the REAL truth, check out the Fact Check website. There you will see who has the ‘dirtier’ campaign.

 
Comment by Brian

I think cindy McCain is confusing Obama with her husband. John McCain was the first to go negative in this campaign and has been the one who consistaly stayed negative to draw the focus way from the “REAL” issue facing the american people like the economy. Which McCain admitted was weak on.

 
Comment by mike

Obama is running the dirty campaign? She needs to look at her husband’s campaign.

That is the funniest thing I have ever heard. She has one too many Budweisers from the family business.

Cindy McCain needs to look at her husband’s dirty campaign tactics. Talk about dirty….they are disgusting lies and half truths….. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Obama is one Democrat who will push back…..

 
Comment by Alexander

So the political scientists and historians who have been pointing out that the exact opposite is in fact historically true would be wrong? I suppose Ms. McCain believes that this absurd lie is legitimized and obfuscated by the proximity of sick children.

 
Comment by Don

She is right.
McCain is Bush…..
McCain “old” ideas
McCain ‘out of touch”
And so on and so forth using associations talking about the past while calling for change!

When you say something against Obama, oh no no! This is racism….
Give me a break!

 
Comment by john lightfoot

amazing mrs mccains remark.

having watched and followed this election build up extensively, the filth and dirt by and large is promulgated by the republican party.

i tnx the lord god we in new zealand did not follow george bush and go to war with u lot in iraq.

as donald trump, who i might say is a republican, said this was dumbest war of all time.

Comment by Dan

Is her memory as bad as her husband’s?

The attacks that Obama’s campaign have to do with policy and record.
Bush/Rove are the ones in 2000 that questioned McCain’s leadership ability due to his imprisonment. Bush/Rove are the ones that started the illegitmate black child rumor in 2000. Seems to me personal attacks like that are more dirty.

 
Comment by tech

Geezzzzzzzzzzzz, Is Ms. old Barbie dreaming????? Obviously, she and McCain/Palin are out of touch with reality! She needs to leave her country-club spa and watch some tv and read news before making accusations! Or is this just a typo from Old, Botox Barb? Did she mean Palin is running the dirtiest Campaign in American History? McShame is surrounded by dumb women! I am sure Cindy chose the running mate for her husband! So he thinks all women are dumb like Cindy! I miss Hillary! Atleast we saw some intelligent people on the campaign trail! Sick of seeing DUD-head Palin and her old companion McCain

 
Comment by jennifer

Helllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooo Cindy, your HUSBAND’S campaign is the one that started the trash talking. And speaking of nasty - he’s the one who makes up outrageous lies that are discredited again and again through fact-checking. We American’s are not stupid and we have more resources this election year than in the past. When McCain’s campaign lies, we find out about it, and we have no sympathy when he gets back what he dished out.

That is like calling the kettle black. McCain has run the dirties campaign that I have ever seen and it discust me………. McCain is old and out of touch. He doesn’t care about the middle class only the rich and privledge like his wife Cindy McCain.

 
Comment by Michelle Glenn

What makes it so nasty, Cindy, is that those of us who read are getting an idea of who Barack Obama really is. And the truth is ugly. He is the product of a very corrupt political machine, and Axelrod and his close advisors are presenting his pretty face and his sound bites to the American people. Twenty years sitting in a pew absorbing vile racist black supremacist doctrine. Associations with a host of VERY bad people. Up to his neck in ACORN.
But, a large segment of the American population don’t dig any deeper than the Socialist media.

 
Comment by Elicia Maddox

Cindy’s right about one thing… McCain should never have entered this race.

 
Comment by Noreply

I see her husband as running a dirty Campaign.

 
Comment by WOW..What!!!

You got to be kidding me. Who started this mess………

 
Comment by Reese

Does she really have the nerve to regard another campaign as ‘dirty’…. McCain/Palin campaign sickens me with the amount of dirt they try to sling at Obama instead of focusing on the issues of what they would do for this great country.

Sorry Cindy!!! I don’t have respect from the likes of a married mistress speaking to the American public about dirty. Shut up and just look pretty….

 
Comment by Nicole

Cindy McCain has a lot of nerve (or elitist cloudiness from too much time in the spa), saying that Obama’s campaign is nasty. Has she seen her husband’s ads, or has she heard Palin’s stump? Perhaps Cindy should look at her husband’s nasty campaigning before she accuses. Although maybe she is stealing percocet again, or lying about her age, etc.

 
Comment by Bob

Bull. It seems Cindy is projecting. It’s McCain running the dirtiest campaign in American History, so naturally she going to point the finger the other way.

 
Comment by jason

This woman is hilarious. I suppose she thinks that jm is running a squeaky clean campaign right? She needs to go back to doing in the past shut her mouth and watch from the sidelines just as Mrs Obama has done. It gets under my skin when someone who has been silver-spoon fed tries to pretend to be ordinary. Mccain needs to pack it up and go home because his campaign is about to flatline. Beep beep beep beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

 
Comment by Hugh P

Mrs. Mccain is obviosly missing the early Monday mud slinging her hisband’s campaign started, and after reviewing this, my feeling, if she is honest, will agree her husband needs to honor his wish for a clean campaign and not act so desperate.

 
Comment by Bill

Well Cindy McCain is pretty dirty herself, having wooed a married man away from his first wife. She has about as much credibility as Lynn Forrester DeRothschild. In fact, why are all these uptight, conservatard women invariably bleached blonde and nasty looking?

Cindy McCain
Lynn Forrester DeRothschild
Laura Ingraham
Elisabeth Hasselbeck
Ann Coulter

They are just all scowling, nasty women.

No one listens to her. Besides, McCain tossed the first mud.

Cindy, open your eyes, your husband has been pretty nasty to “that one”. !!!

What is Cindy McCain talking about? Obama waging a dirty campaign? She is delusional.

 
Comment by J.B. Mason

That’s laughable… this is going to look so funny in the light of history.

 
Comment by spike***

This one is absolutely astounding. I didn’t think I could be surprised by anything in this campaign. But I was wrong. Totally, totally amazing!!!!

 
Comment by Andrea

Does Cindy McCain not watch her husband’s ads, or listen to his running mate? How can she say that the Obama campaign in nasty? These people do not live in the same world that I do. I doubt that this will be posted as Fox is so blatantly biased toward the RADICAL RIGHT.

 
Comment by Seenu Subbu

It’s POT calling the KETTLE *BLACK*.
While John McCain plays the nice guy, the loose canon Palin goes around vilifying this campaign, and Cindy in all her honesty and integrity calls Obama campaign dirty. Shame on your campaign, McCain and Palin.

 
Comment by Darkridr

Im not sure where she has been, but there are no clean hands in this one. Even as she is protesting some Obama compaign skullduggery, her husbands VP pick is falling back on the “personality” politics that John McCain disdained so very much after he was raked over the coals in 2000. If he wants to be a clean candidate, he should stop running all the dirty negative ads in Ohio and tell his VP to get back to the issues that are driving our lives, not who someone stood next to 20 years ago. This petty behavior is continuing to bit his campaign in the butt every day.

 
Comment by Gina Latour

OMG. She’s as delusional as her husband!

 
Comment by Jason Smith

Wow this is a completely false smear.

Obama’s campaign has been very fair, especially compared to the sick diseased mud that McCain and Palin have been slinging.

Mrs. McCain is just throwing desperate propaganda to the mass media.

 
Comment by John

That’s the pot calling the kettle black.

 
Comment by Dr. Schleppenbach

Cindy Mccain is saying Obama is running a dirty campaign? The only thing coming out of Mccains “lipstick on a pig” running mate is negative. Ayers, Wright, Flagler, etc. It’s obnoxious. And now Cindy Mccain is saying obama is dirty.

She should look in the mirror. I’m sure if she did she’d realize the Mccain campaign, and herself, is the one who needs a shower.

 
Comment by Ryan

Don’t worry, Cindy. At least neither candidate has called the other a “trollop” or dropped the C-bomb. You’ve heard worse, honey. Now bring daddy a beer.

 
Comment by Diane

Cindy McCain started dating and sleeping with John McCain while he was still married and living with his children and his first wife who was handicapped. He left them all for much much richer and younger Cindy. After marrying John, Cindy McCain became dug additct have become addicted to prescription drugs and even stole them from a medical charity that she ran. While most people would have received jail time for the amount of drugs that she stole, she got to go to rehab. Cindy McCain was also tied into the Keating 5 scandal and was also close friends of and vacationed with Charles Keating who went to JAIL. Though Cindy McCain has a step sister with whom she shares the same father, Cindy McCain tells people that she was an only child. John McCain cheated on his 1st wife numerous times before he went to Viet Nam and after. Cindy was only one of the women that he cheated with after he go back from Vietnam. We all know that with cheating, comes lies and deceptions. It is Cindy, John and Bridge to No Where Sara Palin who are wallowing in dirt, lies, and deception. Look it up on google.

 
Comment by BJ

She must be on the wrong planet…. The only campaign nastier than McCains I can remember is the Helms/Gant senatorial race. It’s ridiculous.

 
Comment by C Monare

Oh, please!

Has the McCain camps completely lost it?

They’re down the rabbit hole and no way back…

 
Comment by Bill S.

Well, don’t look for debates to correct the issues. NBC is moderating this debate. You will not get any questions on moral issues or anything to set any record straight. The mainstream media is in the tank for Obama, as most everyone knows. How can you get out issues like Obama opposition to the Child Born Alive act if the media decides the issue should be hidden. Or Obama’s support for California’s Gay Marriage ruling. People that I talk to have never even heard of those issues, nor Biden’s many lies. Why? Because the mainstream media is 100% in Obama’s camp. Good luck getting coverage outside of Fox News.

 
Comment by ginololoya

I share Cindy’s views. Obama’s campaign tactics are so dirty that people like me have given up sending any comments to any news or tv media. Tons and tons of Obama surrogates take up all of the space below and above you to haunt you. His surrogates are none other than those Acorn individuals that Obama has given funds to when he was distributing someone’s wealth in good faith. When he wil become the President, we will see these surrogates rise to power and the country will be in a great shamble. Dark clouds will surround us and we will not even know where to begin. All of the Middle East is waiting till he becomes the President. Obama’s socialist ideas will take away what we learnt living in a Capitalistic country.

 
Comment by Angie

Cry me a river Cindy! Lipstick Dog calls Obama a terrorist AND you think the Obama campaign is dirty because they’ve spoken the truth about Keating?! Obama was 8 years old…John McCain was 58! He’s a thief and liar.
Cindy, why don’t you just focus on the sale of your 13 bedroom compound in Arizona!!!

Comment by Michael

Cindy McCain is calling Obama’s campaign dirty? Unbelievable. Her husband has called Obama a liar, his running mate says he pals around with terrorists, and Cindy thinks Obama is dirty?

Yet more double-talk and hypocrisy on the part of the Republicans.

 
Comment by Farhan

Classic political ploy — accuse your opponent of doing something that you yourself are guilty of. Simply despicable.

 
Comment by vvm77

The McCain campaign is far dirtier and anyone with a brain can see that……. they’re grasping at straws now.

 
Comment by Andrew

Is this some sort of joke? The wife of the man who’s actually running the dirtiest campaign I’ve ever seen (that’s John McCain, guys — yeah, the one whose campaign is basically going around calling his opponent a terrorist) is seriously calling Barack Obama’s campaign dirty, not to mention the dirtiest?

Look at their ads next to each other, and there’s not even a contest for who’s dirtier. Not even close.

 
Comment by Jason

Really? The dirtiest ever? Although neither McCain nor Obama are really running the positive campaigns they said they would at the outset, that statement is widely hyperbolic. I think it would be tough to argue that Obama’s efforts are any dirtier than McCain’s. It has certainly gotten messier lately, but if anything it’s the duo who are behind in the polls who have more interest in employing character assassination-type tactics.

 
Comment by Justin

Is this the pot calling the kettle black??

After slipping in the polls McCain regresses to the same old tired name calling and finger pointing. Business as usuall..

 
Comment by Jeff

The only dirty campaign around is the McCain/Palin campaign. They don’t want to take the American voters seriously and deal with the issues that are affecting our lives. They want to spen all of their time saying “golly gee”, “doggone it”, winking, and trying to link Obama to terrorists even when they don’t have any facts to support it

 
Comment by Ad Nauseum

Cindy’s absolutely right, especially if she is including the no-holds-barred, any-vile-lie-will-do treatment Sarah Palin and family are getting from the rabid dogs on the lunatic left.

Hopefully, I am not the only other American who can see that John McCain & Sarah Palin are head and shoulders above the competition. If I could vote multiple times, I certainly would.

 
Comment by indianamomforobama

are you kidding me! she must be talking about her husband and his low down dirty, disrespectful and racist campaign. give me a break barbie and go do your hair!

 
Comment by NC Undecided

I think there has been too much mudslinging from both sides. Palin has taken a lot of awful hits regarding her family and Obama has taken a lot of hits from left field. Unfounded ridiculous words like “terrorist,” “socialist” etc/ Ridiculousness. I had been leaning toward McCain, but I think his negative attacks are the worst. I wish McCain had maintained his high road approach he had at the beginning of the race. The past few days have been an embarrassment with the personal attacks. At least the Obama camp as of late has focused on the issues.

 
Comment by John Walker

I believe it was actually Michelle Obama who said that about Mc(Should Carry a)Cane. Well … at least that’s the only thing that would have any credibility.

Comment by Bob

To Cindy McCain,

Your husband has made every race he’s in very personal. Look at his track record. Even against fellow Republicans he’s mocked them and at times acted like a mad man in my opinion. Thanks to your husband and other Republicans leaders that think like him. I have decided to join the Democratic Party and vote for a real leader in Barack Obama. A man of class. A man who doesn’t want to punish his opponent or trample his soul in front of millions. And by the way, John McCain is no Ronald Reagan either.

Christians for Obama unite.

Comment by marmoset

Cindy has got to be kidding. McCain campaign is the one that signalled that they need to go negative or it is over. McCain hit first. McCain didn’t even stay after the debate. McCain/Palin are pathetic people who will stoop to anything to get elected. 10 points behind nationally, not because Obama is negative, but because McCeain/Palin have nothing to contribute to the country’s future.

 
Comment by Michelle

I agree. He has run a dirty campaign that doesn’t give voters the facts, just the portion of the facts that he thinks will make him look good. He distorts the truth so that he looks like the “savior” to the world. Unfortunately, he will probably win and when he does, he’ll implement the kind of policies that his record (all 2 years of it) has shown, not the kind he promises. He made the same promises to us in Illinois when he ran for Senator and I haven’t seen a single one come to life, probably because he’s spent his entire time trying to climb the political ladder instead of help the people who put him in office. He couldn’t wait and run for re-election as a Senator because his record would be one that flaunted broken promises and too many eloquent words that won’t hold any clout. Maybe he should stop, take a breath, and do the job that we elected him to do. Instead he grabs with his power-hungry hands, the next highest position he can get into with his flowery Harvard-taught words and extreme-liberal agenda. Keep in mind, the last extremely liberal President we had was the precursor to the greatest attack in this generation’s history. Good to know we’re going to end up back where we started with little national security.

This woman is what epitomizes America, she has done so much good in her life. She is the woman I want as our next First Lady. Someone who has helped people less privileged and managed to raise a family with a husband working to keep America on track. Their entire life has been a life of public service. As an Air Force wife, I know the kind of sacrifices he’s made and it’s not easy.

 
Comment by Jack

Wow, talk about irony.

 
Comment by Astounded Voter

Really? Cindy McCain thinks Obama is running the dirtiest campaign in history? It’s painfully apparent that she hasn’t been able to get away from her spa treatments and shopping to have read any news lately. Obviously she didn’t hear how “Lipstick Pitbull” Palin smeared Obama with those ludicrous Ayers accusations, or how her beolved hubby has sunk into the mud to desperately try and salvage his impotent campaign.

Cindy should do what she does best: shut up, smile, wave, look pretty, and count her money, because she is clearly as uninformed as her vapid expression indicates.

 
Comment by Jackie

I agree with Cindy McCain. Obama is a DISGRACE and very SCARY. He does not have one shred of honor. I want John McCain watching out for me as President. Not Obabma. Can you imagine how he will react if there is another terrorist attacke? God help us!!!!

 
Comment by Adam J

Wow, people in 7 glass houses should not throw stones!

 
Comment by Rand Knox

Dirtiest in history? That’s a stretch–what about just eight years ago, when George W. hinted that McCain had fathered an illegitimate child in the South Carolina primaries? This is to say nothing about some of the other legendary tricks that Rove and Lee Atwater have pulled…Cindy obviously hasn’t been following politics for very long.
