I don't think McCain had any racist intentions in his comment about "whipping Obama's you-know-what" BUT. . .it was the first comment I've heard in this campaign that brought a visceral response from me. It may not have been intentionally racist but it felt racist to me. That kind of phrasing is reminiscent of the kinds of things I've heard when someone wanted to "send a message."
__________________I didn't get that sense from the "that one" comment in the debate, but this statement--yeah, there was the familiar mix of anxiety and sick-at-your-stomach that comes when someone makes a racist statement. |

Oh and this from my spokesman:

much how Obama is dominating this election. perhaps the reason why there are so many Obama supporters in here is because there are so many Obama supporters out there. |

Ah, the good ol' Virginia GOP. They're going to get a rude awakening on my birthday...November 5th. When the rest of the country has moved on they'll be left in the dust wondering what happened.

its easy to rag on mccain, but i actually like him a bit more after reading this and seeing a few clips of him on tv where he does his bit to quell comparisons to him to a terrorist.
McCain tussles with Palin over whipping up a mob mentality - Times Online palin is the one who's gone absolutely mental, on the other hand. |

Shouldn't "Honesty" include understanding context and true meaning? Republicans seem to love taking a phrase, twisting it, and then playing that phrase as if it's the essence of what someone has said. Look at Palin---she took the one line of the Troopergate report that said it was within her power to fire the guy, and she's touting that line to say that she's cleared of all charges---while the report ALSO said that she's guilty of violating ethics law, which was the point of the report in the first place. The FULL Obama quote from the debate in which he talked about Ayers in his neighborhood: Quote:
You're so full of spin, it's sickening. Again, if we're really going to assume that Obama and Ayers shared anti-American ideas and philosophies because they sat on the same educational board together, then we must also assume that: 1). John McCain believed in the philosophies of the Apartheid 2). John McCain believes in eugenics 3). John McCain believes in white supremacy 4). John McCain applauds those who shoot abortion-performing doctors Riddle me this.

I agree completely with that article. It's ridiculous that in a country that hangs by the thread of the Constitution, which apparently most Americans aren't acquainted with,(they've been too busy falling off turnip trucks, I'm guessing) someone's race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, etc. is a factor in determining their qualification to be president. It's a slap in the face to the democracy and equality that is supposed to be embedded in the fabric of our country.

On a side note, I usually can't stand Campbell Brown. She's too Diana Christensen a la 'Network', but she's really been on top of things lately.

Even if they generally lean more to the left than the right, there are many things that are simply unknown about their political views. Many Republicans would be considered socially liberal when it comes to social issues, but on economics and security, they are definitely not liberal. I'm sure if U2 took the politicalcompass.org test, they would test somewhere in the liberal quadrant. But, guess what, so did I. But I don't consider myself to be a liberal. The reality is that much of U2's political views are unknown and they have views than range from being liberal to conservative. |
