Notice how both Biden and Obama use the verb "lurch" in interviews right after the town hall debate, in which McCain walked the floor and obviously displayed a gait afflicted by his torture at he hands of the VietCong (see rest below)
Obama
Frankly, you know, Senator McCain ended up lurching from place to place on this issue,” he [Obama] said

Biden:
Biden said you cannot lead the nation when you “lurch so rapidly from one fundamental position to another.”

I call this a low blow and possibly mockery of his sacrifice as a POW.
It’s kind of ironic that the Dems should suddenly find the word “lurch” so acceptable.
They didn’t like it at all during 2004 Prsidential election when their candidate was John “Lurch” Kerry.
Matthews uses various code terms to denegrate McCain also.
Hats off to McCain for not calling them on it. Unfortunately, I know the message gets processed at a subliminal level.
This is the kind of thing we can expect from them in the white house. They hate handicapped people. I believe that the Final Solution is coming with them. Cripples, babies with birth defects, elderly, poor, uneducated, etc, will simply be “eliminated” by them. Because they are not part of the “elite”
yeah - it’s like Axelrod said, “People saw how he walks like a cripple. Let’s all work the word “lurch” into our interviews. Who cares if it’s because he broke his legs in a plane crash and got tortured for years by the VietCong?”
Axelrod said, “People saw how he walks like a cripple
What about FDR??
Sorry - I meant “It’s as if Axelrod said, “Let’s use a verb that reminds people how he walks funny cuz of his war injuries.”
It’s like Sesame Street, Barak Obama style:
Today’s episode was brought to you by the word “Lurch” and the number “Zero.”
