Worse Than "That One"

huffingtonpost.com — The one moment that was jarring for most was McCain's "that one" comment. Some questioned if it had racial implications.

  • elsonero, on 10/08/2008, -3/+6Of course it had racial implications.....lets just see if this media talks about.
  • emilyerin, on 10/08/2008, -2/+6I went to bed after the Fannie Mae comment. I couldn't handle it any more. just ridiculous.
  • mana66, on 10/08/2008, -2/+5McCain's way of "connecting" to ordinary Americans is patronizing. I was surprised to see on the CNN ticker that more men seemed to respond to him than women, though.
  • ajwysocki, on 10/08/2008, -2/+1Cenk hits it out of the park, as usual!
  • silverzone, on 10/08/2008, -2/+2I caught that as well. I think it should be brought up more.
  • cg4et, on 10/08/2008, -1/+3I noticed the Fannie Mae comment, too. It struck me as elitist and condescending. Even though I don't live in Washington, DC, I can read a newspaper every once in a while.
  • btschul, on 10/09/2008, -0/+2Oh for ***** sake.
  • zombies187, on 10/09/2008, -1/+2FTA: For me, the more worrisome moment of the debate came when McCain told a young, black questioner, "You've probably never heard of Fannie Mae."
    At best this shows that McCain has contempt for Americans intelligence.
  • ldmyers, on 10/09/2008, -1/+0I was at the actual debates, too bad they cut the part out when McCain grabbed a bucket of chicken wings and watermelons and started throwing them at Obama.
  • algaeturd, on 10/09/2008, -0/+2It's hard to draw the line on this man. He's so old, he's able to use confusion as an excuse. Plus, when he was in his hey day, people used words like, '22-skidoo!' But one thing is for sure, he's confused and he's very, very condescending to anyone who isn't white and old.
    "MY FELLOW PRISONERS..."
    Wow. Just wow.
