'"I've had it with McCain. I'm going to throw my support to Hillary Rodham Clinton."

Voting for John McCain is going to be extremely difficult.  Extremely:

Radio talk show host Bill Cunningham's mocking and harsh criticism of Democrat Barack Obama upstaged Republican presidential candidate John McCain's rally today in Cincinnati.

Sen. McCain apologized for the remarks by the WLW radio talk show host.

"I take responsibility and I repudiate what he said," Sen. McCain told reporters after the rally at Memorial Hall.

Cunningham came out on stage to whip up the crowd as he often does at Republican campaign events in Cincinnati.

Cunningham was critical of the national news media, saying that sooner or later, the media would begin covering Obama's "sweetheart deals in Chicago and the illegal loans he got in Chicago."

He also called Obama a "hack Chicago-style Daley politican" and twice used Obama's middle name Hussein, referring to him as "Barack Hussein Obama."

McCain was not on stage when these remarks were made but was told of them later.

"I will not tolerate anything in this campaign that denigrates either Sen. Obama or Sen. (Hillary) Clinton," McCain said after the rally.

Cunningham's blistering comments were carried by national news media, including CNN.

Cunningham said later that he stood by his comments. He told his listeners: '"I've had it with McCain. I'm going to throw my support to Hillary Rodham Clinton."

Cunningham, a conservative Republican who also hosts a Sunday night syndicated radio show, said he was asked Monday "by a McCain operative" to introduce the Republican front-runner.

He spoke to the crowd and left, without meeting or speaking to the candidate. McCain also said he had never met Cunningham.

Cunningham said his talk about Obama was "the same stuff" that he says "to you listeners" on radio, including referring to Obama by his middle name, Hussein.

Cunningham also mocked the Illinois senator's foreign policy statements about his willingness to meet with the leaders of rogue nations. He said he envisions a future in which "the great prophet from Chicago takes the stand and the world leaders who want to kill us will simply be singing Kumbaya together around the table with Barack Obama."

No one should be surprised by John McCain's actions here.  No one. 

He's doing what he does best, run and I do mean run, from a conservative perspective.  And to think that he'd run from stuff said at a political rally where the words he's running from are said purposely to distinguish himself from his opponent and to pump up the audience.

It's just pathetic.  Seriously pathetic.

We're probably looking at an Obama landslide in the fall folks.

Sickening.
