US Republican presidential hopeful John McCain has caused an uproar after he laughed when an audience member called Democratic rival Hillary Clinton a "bitch" instead of telling the woman off.
At a campaign event on Monday, the woman asked Senator McCain, "How do we beat the bitch?''
Senator McCain laughed along with the crowd as he said, "May I give the translation?''
"That's an excellent question,'' he said.
"I respect Senator Clinton. I respect anyone who gets the nomination of the Democratic Party.''
Overnight, Senator McCain said his response to the woman's comment was "appropriate", the Associated Press reported.
"She made a comment, I made light of the comment, and then I said very seriously I treated and continue to treat Senator Clinton with respect and I've said that many times,'' he said.
When asked whether he thought the woman's comment was funny, Senator McCain said he laughed because he wanted to move on.
"I can't dictate what other people say - that's not my business,'' he said.
Yesterday,CNN journalist Rick Sanchez raised the question of whether Senator McCain should have admonished the woman.
"Most people who have seen it are looking at it as a real mistake on his part in terms of the way he handled it,'' Sanchez said on the cable network's Out in the Open.

Vindictive, power-hungry socialist ia acceptable. No point in lowering our vocabulary standards to those of profanity/obscenity-obsessed liberals.
It’s inappropriate. She is a US Senator deserving of respect due the office.
She is innapropriate. Most current senators, especially the beast, do not deserve our respect.
It’s more okay than advocating shooting someone. I don’t recall the cows when a Hillie supporter suggested that Tim Russert ought to be shot.
Hillary is a WINO (woman in name only). Bill is a HINO (husband in name only). Neither has earned respect.
Why nit? Anyone doubt her husband has done so multiple times?
I do.
I think he calls her “sir.”
Only to her face...(chuckle)
It’s not very handy or catchy . . . but could we call her . . .
her unroyal lowness; her hideous heinous—BWitch SHRILLERY Antoinette de Fosterizer de Marx de Machiavelli de Pol Pot de Stalin de Lenin de Arafart de Castro . . . de Sade
???
“Hillary is a WINO (woman in name only). Bill is a HINO (husband in name only). Neither has earned respect.”
lol
1). I don't think the word is strong enough to describe my dislike of her, what I think she'd do as president, and what she'd do to our country.
2). It plays directly into the "Men are call Strong, Women are called Bitches" thing that feminists throw around. Like it or not, that kind of thing resonates with women whether they support Hillary Clinton or not. Do you really want to anger women into supporting her?
3). Shrill Harpy sounds just as good and a bit more original.
I don’t understand ... isn’t “bitch” a term of endearment in the modern-day US?
Why is it OK to call McCain Nutso, but not call Hillary a bitch?
What Nutso McCain, War Hero and Loose Cannon has just done is assure Bill Clinton's wife more sympathy.
She IS a bitch, is she not?
If your answer is no, then what DOES constitute a bitch?
4 seconds apart! Great minds...etc.
“Calling her a bitch is going to be as winning of a strategy as Kerry calling Bush an idiot.”
That about sums up my thoughts on the matter. Pubs just don’t learn their lesson about this woman. Calling her a bitch is a gift to Hillary. Remember how she got elected to the senate by crying during her debate with Lazio? Why don’t you just give her the country on a silver platter?
On the upside maybe this will finally kill the McCain presidential campaign, probably forever.
I saw a bumper sticker once that said, “I’m not a bitch. I’m THE bitch, and it’s Ms. Bitch to you!”
I’ll just call her an immoral, wishy-washy, whiny, valueless, unprincipled, obtuse, self-righteous, doormat. She’s an oversensitive, craven, pusillanimous, spiritless, boneheaded, pathetic, sorry, miserable, petty, juvenile, paranoid, dull, cheerless, bitter, depressing, gloomy, delusional, impaired loser. A pessimistic, depraved, hapless, degenerate. She’s a boring, annoying, dishonorable, shameful, disgraceful, sleazy, questionable, thin-skinned, hypersensitive, ineffective, laughable, absurd, mediocre, incompetent, incapable, defective, deficient and lacking beotch.
Feel free to quote me, LOL! :)
If they took a poll on whether or not the public thinks Hillary is a witchy-poo or not, what would the results be?
My father, who was an old-fashioned mostly proper sort of guy, used to occasionally call me and my mother by the affectionate term. I considered it a badge of honor. In Hillary’s case, I think the term fits on an around the clock basis. That’s not so good.

Rick Sanchez asked yesterday what would conservatives reactions be if someone called Laura Bush or John McCain’s wife a bitch. He misses the whole point there, these women are not candidates so that comparison isn’t valid. Like you say, where’s the other side’s outrage when the conservative side is called names or worse.
