Does anyone know of McCain gaffes that are insensitive?
Someone I know keeps bringing up Obama talking about he wouldn't want his daughters to be punished with a baby.

I've already brought up that he himself worded it wrong. Already brought up that repubs don't exactly value life either since they are pro death penalty and pro war (asked them how many innocent Iraqi children have we killed?)

I KNOW that McCain HAS to have had some major gaffes that were insensitve, there should be a huge list of them lol. Can anyone point me in the right direction??

1. Well, there was that little statement he made on 60 minutes during the 2000 campaign
"I hate the gooks. I will hate them as long as I live". He had to have lost some conservative Asian American votes over that one.

5. You're welcome. And quite recently he told an ethnic Irish joke.
that caused a minor flap.

You know about him not being willing to commit to a meeting with Spain's leader, right? It was gaffe-like in that I'm not sure McCain understood the question was about Spain, but Spain took it seriously.

4. Women just need more education and training,
the rape joke, calling Chelsea Clinton ugly.

Those are just a few I can think of off the top of my head

Obama was talking about prevention of pregnancies. He meant that he would not want his daughters to have an unwanted pregnancy. Do any of us want that for our children?
