"That one"

I have no idea how but in same insane way this has apparently gotten tangled up with the "Obama is the anti-Christ" woo.

I was aknowledging the truth of what you said and then talking about political reality which usually has nothing to do with truth.

Anyone who sees that remark as "racial" or even derogatory, must be wearing special glasses.

I'm not a McCain fan, but insinuating that there is any malice, intended or otherwise, in that remark, is just ridiculous.

When you couple it with all the other stuff, you can start wondering if McCain is trying to dehumanize Obama, and if this was a part of that "strategy".

Generally something simple, like the word "him" or "her" comes to mind when a name is forgotten, it seems. McCain could have even defaulted by just saying "the Senator".

Or, like you just said, maybe McCain had a senior moment :o

... I just think it's less likely. McCain seemed fairly accusatory in the statement that preceded his possible forgetfulness with Obama's name.

But you know what? What you've come up with is a theory. It's possible you're right. But it's also possible you're wrong. I don't think it's fair to label someone's actions as racist until you have proof.
 
Watch the video and you can see the 'smirk'.......

Grampa knew what he was saying, and what it would imply. He even dissed Bush and Cheney in the same sentence. ;)

I would wager that Grampy wanted to say "that N*****"...but he held back.

McPhuch you John. Turns out 52% of Americans AREN'T RACIST BIGOTS.
 
I am confused. Why is saying "that one" a big deal, or even something to be scrutinized and analysed?

It's not really a big deal. It just showed McCain losing his cool. He's known to have a bit of a temper. The harm for him is more from a Presidential image standpoint. It was bad decorum in a setting like that.

That's kinda what I thought. It was just an awkward moment because it seemed to me he lost his train of thought, whether forgetting his name (possibly, but probably not), or just not sure where he was going with it ("Quick, think of something clever! Him! That guy! That there person! That one!").

I don't understand why it's a sign of him losing his cool... perhaps I'm dense.

Dude, are you actually Tom Waits?

If not, your name should be altered here....because you are NOT speaking for Tom.

I like Tom Waits...and he doesn't profess the moronic beliefs that you do. ;)

Dudes, let's remember to be civil, attack the argument, and stay on topic. Thank you.
