		<description>&lt;i&gt;Do you remember exactly how much you paid for gas 6 months ago?&lt;/i&gt;

Do you really want an answer to that? Because it just makes your team look even worse. I believe it was in the $1.97 range.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Gosh, ThinkProgress would never lie, would they?&lt;/i&gt;

McCain probably DID know last week. That was last week.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;half as concerned with al qaeda as he was about rounding 2nd base with whomever is currently in charge of Saudi Arabia,&lt;/i&gt;

HA!

&lt;i&gt;Several of the planners of the ‘93 WTC attack got clean away (one of them fled to Baghdad)&lt;/i&gt;

Yes, as I remember he was a &quot;guest&quot; of Saddam&#039;s. In prison.</description>

		<description>&quot;There is plenty of hitting in soccer, Oliver. The problem is every bump puts a player on the ground writhing in agony until the official makes a call or its clear he won’t then the player pops up, limps a few steps for the camera then goes on like nothing happened.&quot;

Officials should start throwing out players for diving. That would end that really fast.</description>

		<description>&quot;Explain why it matters that McCain doesn’t remember what the price of gas was several months ago...&quot;

Months? The way McCain made it sound, he hadn&#039;t pumped his gas in so long he couldn&#039;t remember doing it. If that&#039;s only months, then that&#039;s pretty sad. 

I think most people would know how much it costs to fill up their tank of gas, because that affects them deeply. Every time it goes up, it cuts deeply into their personal finances. McCain has been trying to paint Obama as some elitist who is out of touch with the common folk, but McCain is a multimillionaire who could care less about the price of gas, because even at $10 a gallon, it wouldn&#039;t affect his finances in the slightest bit. 

&quot;Based on the evidence that McCain DOES know the current price of gas, here’s the lie from ThinkProgress:&quot;

Interesting edits. Considering what the story actually said is different from how you are interpreting the headline, I think the problem lies with you.</description>

		<description>Explain why it matters that McCain doesn&#039;t remember what the price of gas was several months ago, especially when he stated several days ago that it was currently above $4/gallon. Do you remember exactly how much you paid for gas 6 months ago?


Based on the evidence that McCain DOES know the current price of gas, here&#039;s the lie from ThinkProgress:
1) Headline claims &quot;...I Don’t Know The Price Of Gas&quot;
2) &quot;...John McCain acknowledged he was unaware of the price of gas&quot;
3) &quot;McCain’s cluelessness about gas prices...&quot;
Seriously, you&#039;re going to defend this?</description>

		<description>&quot;ThinkProgress (and Oliver) are lying by trying to make it look like McCain doesn’t know the price of gas. McCain was answering a different question. And you fell for it, sucker!&quot;

Actually, if you read what was on Think Progress, you&#039;d know that&#039;s exactly what they said. So your strawman attack against Think Progress is a lie. Amazing, a right-winger doing exactly what they are accusing a left-winger of doing. 

McCain clearly said he doesn&#039;t remember what the price of gas was the last, nor does he think it matters. If you don&#039;t think that will hurt him politically, then you are deluded.</description>

		<description>North Africa actually had strategic significance and took some pressure off of Russia.

Bush would have invaded Turkey because they were an enemy from World War I and they has a history of using WMDs.  During the occupation of Turkey, Bush would probably awarded no bid reconstruction contracts to his family&#039;s business friends.</description>

		<description>Gosh, Sean -- McCain doesn&#039;t remember how much gas cost the last time he pumped his own gas -- how many candidates are out pumping their own gas for the past few months? He OBVIOUSLY knows how expensive gas is since he stated it less than a week before ThinkProgress tried to make him look out of touch.

ThinkProgress (and Oliver) are lying by trying to make it look like McCain doesn&#039;t know the price of gas. McCain was answering a different question. And you fell for it, sucker!</description>

SaveFarris: &quot;Unlike FDR, who invaded … Africa.&quot;

Did FDR invade Africa before or after Germany did?

Serious question... Do you have any knowledge on any subject?</description>

		<description>SaveFarris: &quot;I’d buy Oliver’s methodology if he were to stipulate that F.D.R. was the worst president ever.&quot;

How you figure? I would like to see your logic coming up with that argument complete with quotes. 

Personally, I think you are lying. I think you are twisting what Oliver said in a fashion that will be easy to disprove, but I&#039;m willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and I am willing to read and respond to your argument, if you are willing to give one.</description>

		<description>JWG: &lt;i&gt;Gosh, ThinkProgress would never lie, would they?&lt;/i&gt;

Gee, J (digression:  Does every body who posts these kinds of stupid easily disproven comments here have that initial?), why would ThinkProgress have to lie.  If you actually read the article OW linked to you&#039;d see McCain&#039;s own words:

&lt;blockquote&gt;WICKSOL: When was the last time you pumped your own gas &lt;b&gt;and how much did it cost?&lt;/b&gt;

MCCAIN: Oh, I don’t remember. Now there’s Secret Service protection. But I’ve done it for many, many years. &lt;b&gt;I don’t recall&lt;/b&gt; and frankly, I don’t see how it matters.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>Can you imagine if the Bush Administration was in charge during WWII?

With Pearl Harbor being bombed, Bush would have invaded Turkey and then turned it over to his family&#039;s business partners, aka the Nazis, with no-bid contracts.</description>

		<description>I posted a long list of terrorist incidents that have occured under the Bush presidency.  I left out the bulk of incidents in Iraq, which of course, the many mortar attacks, suicide bombs, IEDs, and small gun sniping in Iraq don&#039;t count for you guys for some reason.  Even those acts carried out against American civilians there.  Yet, when asked, you always say &quot;better there than have them follow us here.&quot;  Whatever that means.  I guess you guys think that the anti-American violence is justified because it&#039;s guerrilla warfare against a foreign occupying force.

I don&#039;t understand why you guys have so little respect for the Law Enforcement side of anti-terrorism.  I assume that includes go after the financials and rooting out the plotters in this country, tracking suspects through other countries and generally trying to take these people off the streets.  Trials are nice, because unlike these pro-war conservatives like JayTea and SaveFarris, lining suspects up against the wall and putting a bullet in their heads without a trial and at the say so of some arbitrary political appointee just seems plain wrong.    Meanwhile, bombing the piss out of some other country on the hope that we an occasional terrorist is among the many Iraqi civilian casualties.

Also, if you are complaining about a lack of response to the Cole bombing, blame Bush.  Clinton, as an outgoing president, didn&#039;t want to commit Bush  (the incoming president) to an action.  He left the response to Bush who decided that the best way to protect the country was to build a missile defense system.  Very nice of Clinton, not wanting to foist a fucked up action on the next president.  He certainly didn&#039;t learn it from Bush Sr. whose committed the US to Somalia before leaving office.</description>

		<description>McCain &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ens-newswire.com/ens/jun2008/2008-06-18-01.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;less than one week&lt;/a&gt; before ThinkProgress claims he doesn&#039;t know the price of gas:
&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;The price of a gallon of gas in America stands at more than four dollars. Yesterday, a barrel of oil cost about 134 dollarsm&quot; said McCain. &quot;And various oil ministers and investment firms have confidently informed us that soon we can expect to pay 200 dollars for every barrel, and as much as seven dollars for every gallon of gas.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Gosh, ThinkProgress would never lie, would they?</description>

		<description>Hmm... I&#039;m not sure about that, Save. Lincoln might actually be the &quot;worst.&quot; Counting both sides, the Civil War cost about 100,000 more American lives than World War II.

Limited to just the Union side, though, and FDR wins.
