McCain Refers to Opponent as "Barack Hussein Stalin Robespierre Hitler Pol Pot Idi Amin Gaiseric The Vandal Obama"
Wheeling, WV—John McCain told supporters today that Barack Obama is a "good and decent man," but that he "fundamentally disagrees" with what he termed "that one's plan" to "crucify untold numbers of Christians when he seizes power."
In a rambling and often contradictory speech, McCain praised Obama for "raising two wonderful daughters." Yet he quickly added, "What I fear my friends is when he and his hordes sack Washington. How they will smash our statues and melt down our gold. And the impaling my friends. Ohh the impaling".
When questioned about the seeming incoherence of McCain's speech, campaign lobbyist/manager Rick Davis denied both that the speech ever took place and that the technology exists for a linear method of storing information on digital tape.

Marvelous! You will be depressed, though, to hear that if I posted this in my faculty lounge, at least three of my colleagues would take the quotes as factual and be-spittle the furniture with self-congratulatory comments about how hateful and vile McCain and Palin are, and how gloriously right they are for backing the valiant (and pure-of-heart) Obama.
And I would have to risk injury by stepping in, "no, guys; you see, it's an hyperbolic satire..." I love a piece that can cut both ways, gigging the haters on both sides.
