"That One"
Sounds a little condescending, don't you think?

1. It will define their campaign
"That one" will be the defining moment for one of the most vile campaigns we have ever endured.
Look for the repukes to repeat this on the campaign trail this week. The new "dis" is to not even mention Obama's name.
I opined a couple of months ago that there was only two real reasons to vote for McCain/Palin:
1) Die-hard republicans who never vote off the ticket.
2) Racists.

Even the die-hard republicans are fleeing now.

2. Apparently, the Obama campaign immediately seized on that remark.

3. Just a little.
It certainly shows a lack of respect, and if McSame can't respect a fellow Senator, I'm certain he has no respect for the American people.

The man is old, he's been in the Senate too long, he owes too many favors, and he's lost his way. He's shown poor judgement with his selection of Sarah Palin for his VP, which makes him unfit for the presidency.

That's about as nice as I can possibly put it.

4. this might be totally uncalled for,
but those words rang a bell with me,i very vaguely recalled sometime way back reading about an amazingly racist rhyme by a very famous author(turns out it was in and was was used as the title of a book by Agatha Christie in 1939),i had to google to remember it,i don't suppose mccain could have in any way ...?

"Ten Little -------



Ten little ------ boys went out to dine;

One choked his little self and then there were Nine...

...

One ...

...

One ...

...

One ...
...
...

...
One ...

...
...

...
...
...

One got frizzled up and then there was One.

One little ----- boy left all alone;

He went out and hanged himself and then there were None.



This is included not from racism, but because of Agathe Christie's detective story of the same name, and this rhyme not being in print anywhere, a lot of people in Austria have asked me about it. If you are offended about the text please accept my apologies."

And Then There Were None...


And Then There Were None is a work of detective fiction by Agatha Christie first published in the United Kingdom by the Collins Crime Club in November 1939<1> under the title of Ten Little Niggers<2><3> and in the United States by Dodd, Mead and Company in January 1940. The novel has also been published (and filmed) as Ten Little Indians. It has sold 115 million copies to date according to the editors of Publications International, Ltd., making it the world's best-selling mystery...
