FRONT PAGE CONTRIBUTOR

Mark Warner: Christian Coalition, Right-to-Lifers, NRA, home-schoolers “threatening what it means to be an American.”

Yes, I'm aware that he's almost 30 points ahead in the polls, thus making this virtually moot.

RESIZE: AAA

It’s still a filthy thing to say. Filthy, partisan, and untrue.

That’s all. Just wanted to make sure that nobody reading this who planned to vote for Warner can ever claim that they didn’t know.

    Looking back in American History… I’d say that everyone of those organizations represents just about every plank of what it is to be a REAL American…

    … Not some wafer like this who goes soggy at the sight of milk.

    Somebody put a cork in that guys mouth.. he’s quite the bottle of whine!

    (These food analogies were brought to you on an empty stomach. ;)

    It was like in 2006 when FL Repubs put up a lousy candidate against Nelson. He was vulnerable, and ended up running a conservative campaign, with no one to call him on it.

  • glenn2m

    when Illinois Repubs ran an out of stater named Keyes against a no name called Obama.

    Yes, you can thank Illinois Rebublicans for this whole mess we are in. They would be called liberal democrats in any other state.

    ps. I live near Chicago….

  • Neil_Stevens

    Seven of Nine. He just couldn’t go home with Seven of Nine and be happy. Oh no.

  • David123

    The sound on it is terrible.

    So that is more Mark Warner’s “private” thoughts, his real thoughts.

    I thought Mark Warner was a pretty ok guy – he may still win, but not by 30%. Not once that gets out. And if WaPo emphasized this as much as “Macaca” Warner would be toaste.

    Why didn’t he just call them all bitter?

  • justnowawake

    who have voted for Democrats all of our lives and are tired of the lies, taxes, pork, terrorist associations, fixing of elections, and every other abomination my former party represents.

    I’m one Virginian who will not be voting for Mark Warner or Barack Obama or Joe Biden or any other closet socialist this year.

  • Martin_A_Knight

    If I were him, I would have so thoroughly trashed every single outfit and individual involved with every dime left of the campaign.

  • jsteele

    … of this kind of campaigning the more I think that we are in serious danger of a permanently divided nation. When things got wound up over the 2000 election it looked like maybe it was a temporary thing over a very close election. As time wore on it didn’t go away and I thought it was just Bush Derangement. And we went through four years of that.

    Then came the inarguable Bush victory of 2004 that turned out to be not so inarguable. So we went throught four more years but it will be over when Bush is gone.

    Fast forward to 2008 and look where we are.

    Maybe we are fated to be a house divided against itself and this is finally the end of the game. Campaigns like Warner’s certainly don’t give one hope for an alternative.

  • Martin_A_Knight

    Sub-text? “What Mark Warner really thinks …”

    “What do Mark Warner and Barack Obama have in common?”

    “Here’s Barack Obama …” {“Bitter” comments played}

    “Here’s Mark Warner …” {The above}

  • izoneguy

    Now call your friends and let them know. Better yet,
    send them this video.

  • glenn2m

    You are correct. Why would you do that???

    But….did you know the reporter who kept driving at the court to have his divorce papers opened, now (or has) worked on the Obama campaign?

    The guy never should have done what he did, no matter who his wife is…but the divorce papers never should have been publicized either.

  • RedFox84

    That even the supposedly ‘moderate’ and ‘centrist’ Democrats have far more in common with their liberal counterparts than they would like us to believe.

  • mbecker908

    we get some serious candidates with serious balls (see Sarah Palin) who will take these bastards on head-on and really do what’s necessary to destroy them. Destroy them politically, professionally and personally. Make them pay a real price for their crap.

    Until then, they will attack and our party will whistle in the wind.

  • Vuk

    of this kind of campaigning the more I think that we are in serious danger of a permanently divided nation.

    Unlike saying your opponent has “extremely extensive ties to terrorism”, right?

    Let’s not play. When it comes to divisiveness, all of us have to look in the mirror.

  • justnowawake

    I don’t have any friends since, like Ronald Reagan, the Democrat Party has left me.

  • mbecker908

    is muttering about supporting him.

    See Yahoo News…

    Retiring Sen. John W. Warner (R-Va.) beat his Democratic opponent, Mark R. Warner, by 6 percentage points in the Old Dominion?s ?Warner vs. Warner? race of 1996.

    Now, he might cross party lines and vote for him.

    Mark Warner, who went on to become a popular governor, is running to succeed John Warner in the Senate. Mark Warner?s opponent is another former governor, James S. Gilmore III, a Republican who has received little support from the state?s power structure and lags by 26 points in a new poll.

    ?I?m watching that race, following the positions of the two candidates,? John Warner told reporters on a conference call Saturday. ?There have been occasions when I have supported Democratic candidates. ? But I?m not there yet.?

    Remember that John Warner is the same jackass who refused to support Ollie North’s Senate campaign, and that handed a reliably Republican Senate seat to a Democrat.

    Good riddance Senator Warner. And while I’m at it, good riddance Senator Hagel. You guys should go on a cruise with former Senator Chafee.

  • GregInFla

    in the Ryan child custody hearings, IIRC. Where is that judge now? My guess, either living on a pacific island or under Millennium park in Chicago (maybe under the Bean).

  • spainishirish

    and 30 points down, I don’t see how this doesn’t wound Warner. Severely. It would cause damage to a Democrat even in New York or California.

  • spainishirish

    John Warner will not be missed, and the least of his misdeeds include his support of this moron.

  • glenn2m

    He retired this past September. He was appointed to a judge by Gray Davis.

  • Neil1030

    I wonder how many pro lifers, gun owners, and home schoolers are voting for Warner just because they don’t like Bush. Or Democrats are “better on the economy.” Whatever that means. They have only themselves to blame when Warner goes against their interests when he is in the Senate.

  • stephenhalsey

    I live in Richmond and am no fan of the Warners; one’s a first class RINO, the other a lying tax raiser. The lib Warner ran the same kind of campaign as our current lib governor Kaine, promising not to raise taxes, to review and eliminate government waste, etc.. the same crap they always run on and flip-flip on. And on Warner’s watch, he led the charge for and ushered in the highest tax hike in state history. I guess only saving grace in that was when Kaine flip-flopped a freaking week after he was inaugurated and proposed a $2B tax hike, the people were prepared and it went no where. So for that, thank you Mark Warner.

    I just can’t believe we couldn’t find anyone better than Gilmore to run against Warner. Pretty slim GOP pickins in the Commonwealth. Even so, this cannot play well anywhere other than Marxist NoVa and downtown Richmond. If the state GOP were smart, this should be used to tie Obama and Warner together to really solidify suburban and rural Va for McCain.

  • liberalrepublican

    This guy is pond scum.

    He is appealing to the absolute worst instincts in people.

    I hope the Democrats in that audience remembers their Grandfather who was in the NRA or their Little League Coach who’s wife home schools or that the Fireman who put out that fire last year is a “Right to Lifer”

    We, as a country, are too good for this.

    We need to let people know we won’t put up with this “hate 40% of America” crap.

  • acasilaco

    ….it would be the end of his campaign. Even so, this ought to at least make things somewhat interesting. I hope Gilmore puts his entire advertising budget into getting this on the air.

  • Anteater

    …can still lose.

    Blanket this all over the air now, and tie it to Obama!!!!!!

  • paint_it_red

    Well, the DNC keynote speaker is saying what he really thinks, just like Obama did in San Francisco. We may not be able to take him down this year, but I vow as a VA Republican I will never forget these comments. In time, we will bring him down.

    The problem is for some inexplicable reason, our state party saw fit to put up Jim Gilmore against him. Gilmore will also never have my vote. Though he is self described as “Pro-Life”, he supports abortion up to 6 weeks. I’m not sure if this is a position that makes sense to almost anybody.

    Virginians don’t love Mark Warner, but they have no love for Gilmore, who was an abysmal failure as Governor. It is sad indeed that we have such a poor candidate against the right little nazi Warner.

  • DavidSage

    McCain will most likely win Va, but if it’s close, this ad will remind people of the elitist views Democrats only share when they think the unwashed masses aren’t listening.

    Warner has his eyes on the White House, and this quote will haunt him.

    It’s just a shame the recording quality is so poor.

  • aesthete

    We’ll have a good ad for the midterms…

  • itrytobenice

    they’re all San Francisco liberals. This kind of explains why it is that the ‘moderate’ dems like the blue dogs can get to DC and support Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

    Someone save this tape for 2012 please. We may need it.

  • Scope

    Stephen Halsey- You mentioned Marxist NoVA and Richmond in your post. You can add the Charlottesville area to that list. I live 10 miles north of Cville in Orange County. Here in our more rural area there are alot of McCain signs, and I only saw 1 Obama sign.

    Cville and the surrounding communities have been taken over by the very liberal Yankees that moved here from mainly N.Y. and N.J. They came here for the lower taxes and costs, and brought their liberal ideas with them. They have driven up the taxes and costs that they came here to avoid. I know that for a fact as I worked for a former N.J. Liberal developer that moved here to make his fortune, and that he did. Most of his customers are all Liberal Yankees, and now he and they are screaming because taxes have gone up tremendously. Cville City Council has “one” Republican, and he is mostly ignored.

    I will never vote for Marksist Warner. John Warner only voted that way. Good riddance.

  • c17wife

    You are in VA. Please, please, please, implore the VA GOP to run with this. Fast and hard. Oh, and just maybe they could throw Barack’s comments in as well. You know, that guilt by association and such. And while you are at it, contact Eric Cantor’s office and John Warner’s. Yes, the John Warner that was considering a vote for long lost cousin Mark. Tell them you are livid and want this denounced loudly, by them both. Today.

  • itrytobenice

    This remark is at least as, a possibly more, offensive than BO’s gun/religion/bigot clinging comments in SF.
