McCain taking talking points from Michelle Malkin - and lying
McCain says President Barack Obama failed to include Republicans in writing the big economic stimulus bill.

The Arizona Republican says the $787 billion measure will create what he calls "generational theft" — huge federal deficits for years to come.

http://news.aol.com/main/obama-presidency/article/mccain-obama-stimulus/344175

Once you get beyond the lie that Obama didn't include Republicans in writing this bill, you come across the "generational theft" term. It was coined by Michelle last week and posted by her followers all over the internet.

First Rush and now Michelle. Isn't it fun when the opposition party takes its talking points from hate mongering pundits? It's like shooting fish in a barrel. :)

1. "Tell them you heard it on National Hate Radio!!"
Forty years ago, the phrase was "as seen advertised in LIFE magazine!"

3. Color me surprised. You mean after that high toned campaign
that McCain ran he would sink to using talking points from that beacon of integrity and honesty Michelle M.

9. It's still a Michelle Malkin talking point.
Which is disgusting enough, regardless of who came up with it originally.

7. The Republican "leadership" is particularly unimpressive these days.
Limbaugh, Malkin, Palin, Joe the Plumber. And now Eric Cantor is moving up!

What a bunch of total losers. Yuck.

8. Generational Theft is what Bush did for 8 years
What these idiots don't realize is that we can tell the difference between someone investing our money in OUR country's future versus stealing it in order to devastate and then rebuild some other country, stealing lives and money from a generation.

12. McGramps has jumped the shark
As for the war supporting Malkin and Rush, they can choke on it. It is their Presidents who are behind most of the debt.
