Debate's next Friday...hang in there kids...It will be fabulash.
McCain is debating himself every day with his congenital flip-flops due to a simple lack of mental acuity. A very sad excuse for a candidate with an extremely incompeteent vp running -moose.
That said, the article also says McSame acknowledged Hispanic History Month. GLBT History Month is in October. Bets on if he acknowledges that? (I'm a contractor at one of the only Federal agencies that posts Pride posters in June... just sayin')
If you're going to make the use of "SPIC" or "SPCI" or "whatever" an issue, at least tie it into saying that he may have a propensity for using racial slurs. Otherwise your story just looks uselessly inflammatory and a waste of time.
I wouldn't read that much into this, though I doubt McCain had an actual Macacca moment. What I wonder about more is that McCain acknowledged Hispanic History Month. Any bets on if he'll acknowledge LGBT History Month in October?
McCain just thinks it'd be fun to be president (much like Bush) and, mentally, really isn't 'all-there' to be it (also like Bush). Becase of that, he hired a staff that could do all of the thinking for him. They just prop him up and feed him what to say. In result, he doesn't really know what the hell he's speaking about (or he would have recognized that he shouldn't be saying "SPIC") and can't discuss other issues beyond what he's been told because he really has no idea (unless it pertains to war).
My favorite from 3/16/07...
Q: "Do you think contraceptives help stop the spread of HIV?”
McCain: (Long pause) “You’ve stumped me.”
One thing we did learn is that the kids called themselves Hungook (sp) which meant the Korean People and Americans were called Meegook.... the word "gook" meant people..... as far as I know the term originated from the Korean War..... it may have been imported into Vietnam from military who served in Korea...that means that term was totally racial where in Korea you could (in a stretch) that it was a shorten word for the Korean people.
As announced by the White House, Bush was scheduled to make comments to a pool of reporters after huddling with a key financial working group led by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. Its members include Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and other key government figures in the field of commerce.
Yet after the session began, the White House told the media to never mind.'

This is scary shit. If Bush is afraid to get up and lie to the American people, the economy must really be bad.
Of course we knew that Johnny Mac was a racist but he is an incompetent racist as well. I thought he knew everything because he sat on the Commerce committee?
The larger point is that he doesn't recognize what he's even reading on the prompter. Do you think Obama would make the same mistake? I doubt it since he actually knows what he's talking about.
I think John is trying to parody how Republicans can take something like Obama voting for informing kids about sexual predators and them twisting into Obama wanting to teach your children about sex almost in a lured, pedophile way.
About twenty-four or so years ago, I was doing volunteer work with the Claremont, CA branch of P-FLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays). I helped them put out their newsletter to the membership and supporters, and prepared press releases to local newspapers. In the latter function, I routinely sent notices of upcoming meetings to include in the community calendar of our local newspaper, The Daily Bulletin. One time, when I checked to make sure it had been printed (The Daily Bulletin didn't always do so, even when we carefully followed all their guidelines), I saw it there, but headlined as follows: "P-FAG" Group to Meet."
The person in the McCain campaign may well be the same Right Wing wiseguy whose idea of humor is to change SIPC to SPIC and P-FLAG to P-FAG. With a mind like that, one can very far up the GOP career ladder. The entirel McCain/Palin campaing seems to be run by minds like this.

You're better than this.
No need to knock around millions of Hispanics to take this cheap shot.
The comments slamming John for posting this seem to come form those who would rather lose again than to play winning politics as required in this day and age. He didn't out and out call McCain a "Lation-hating racist.." Rather, I see it as a bit of ironic bemusement inferring the Pig with Lipstick hullabaloo.
By the way - the lipstick on a pig story died a fast and violent death and in the end looked worse for McCain than Obama -because it was based in demonstrable bullsh*t.
What's more damning about him to me, and what you should focus on instead, is how easily flustered he is these days. It's not just his age. He is a shell of a man, driven only by his pathological ambition and completely in thrall to the special interests that run his campaign.
By the way, please fix the comments section. I posted this twice before and it did not work. Not that I have anything of real value to say. :)
My opinion of this site has gone down again, this is not the first time.
How can any voter take the McSAME / PALIN ticket seriously ? Only the very rich ( over $ 5 million per year ) could possibly have the greed sufficient to support this incompetent extreme who is anti-people.
WANT MORE PAIN????????????JUST VOTE McSAME / PALIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
