McCain's Innuendo Campaign

[GoS]

This was a discussion that we started to have in the All Political Posts thread that I wanted to follow up on.

Also, notice McCain said "that one" but then said "me" instead of "this one" to refer to himself, which would have been the consistent phrasing At best, it should how culturally ignorant, out of touch and completely unaware McCain is. But, IMO, it was intentional and played into the hands of Palin, who is implying in no uncertain terms that Obama is a Black Muslim Extremist/Terrorist.

And another McCain quote that furthers his use of the innuendo:

Woman at rally: I don't trust Obama. I have read about him and he's an Arab.

Sen. John McCain: No ma'am, no ma'am. He's a decent family man, citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues. That's what this campaign is all about. He's not, thank you.

Never mind that he got booed for saying that, he only addressed the fact that she called Obama a bad person, not that he's and Arab. He knows that this is one of the reasons that he is still alive in the race and if he addresses it he would only hurt himself.
