Whoopi Goldberg puts her foot into her mouth again on The View.

The ‘Busters have the transcript. This isn’t quite the offensive idiocy it might seem at first blush; she’s asking a (mostly) rhetorical question about constitutional theory to challenge McCain’s stance on Roe, i.e. whether following the Founders’ intent is such a hot idea given that their Enlightenment views weren’t quite fully enlightened. One possible answer: We can correct the Founders through the amendment process. That’s what we should have done to legalize abortion and that’s what we did to ban slavery. Or did you miss that lesson in first-grade history, Whoopi? McCain’s response: Hey, good point! Groan.

John McCain did not help himself well on this idiocy by Whoopi and should have made the case that the legislative branch of the government both federal and state is in charge of making the laws NOT the courts who trump up unwritten rules from some perceived constitutional duty or right such as the “right to privacy” in the case of abortion. But, he didn’t.

Flap is sure that when Sarah Palin goes on The View she will be hammered on Roe v. Wade but the answer will be better framed and the groans from Whoopi louder.

Jake Tapper ridicules the Barack Obama campaign for “taking off the goves” to attack and fight back against McCain-Palin.

Like any number of Democratic candidates before him — Mike Dukakis, Al Gore, John Kerry — Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, is once again declaring that he is going to take off the gloves and fight back against attacks from the Republican party.

ut just so you know — this is by my count the 4th time Obama’s campaign has officially or unofficially made such a declaration that Obama will “take off the gloves” and fight back.

That’s a lot of pairs of gloves.

The Isotoner campaign, one might say.

Barack Obama has been sinking in the polls and is becoming desperate. The pressure from the LEFT is pushing his campaign to produce stupid and personally offensive television ads like the one above. Painting John McCain as an old fuddy duddy in a contemptible way will not win you many friends with American voters.

The LEFT is complicit in this new Obama/Democrat line of attack. Look at this piece that ridicules women who attended a McCain-Palin rally. The condescending tone of the writer towards women who like Sarah Palin is especially noteworthy.

So, Flap says don’t stop, Barry. The radical LEFT has the solution for your faltering campaign – OFFEND MORE VOTERS.

Good job!

Update:

Even some on the LEFT are shaking their heads at Obama’s approach.

And, Ace of Spades agrees with Flap that this could be construed as an attack on seniors.

Isn’t that AGEISM from the elite snob Obama?

• McCain-Palin Ahead in Ohio, Even With a Democrat-Heavy Sample
  In Ohio, they find McCain-Palin ahead of Obama-Biden up, 48 percent to 44 percent. But what makes those numbers really eye-opening is the breakdown of the sample: 576 (48%) identified themselves as Democrats; 444 (37%) identified themselves as Republicans; and 170 (15%) identified themselves as Independent or other party affiliation.
