When I saw the video, it was obvious his comment was being taken out of context and people were hearing only what they wanted to hear. This is not the gotcha we’ve been waiting for!

I don't know. I listened to the context, and it is true that he was talking about people calling him muslim in radio talk shows, but McCain hasn't said anything directly. But to say a line like "...it's true that McCain hasn't said anything about my Muslim faith..." instead of something to distance himself from calling himself a Muslim is quite a gaffe. Why didn't he say "my supposedly being a Muslim" or "McCain hasn't spoken about me being a Muslim"? Either of those would never have had the interpretation that "my Muslim faith" does.

If you think that it shouldn't have been interpreted as a gaffe at all, then why did Stephanopoulus immediately correct him?

FNC ran back-to-back one hour documentaries Sunday, first on John McCain, then another on Hussein Obama.

By coincidence, there was one bit of tape of Hussein (in Chicago I think) in which he uses the exact words “my Christian faith”.

I was intrigued by how very carefully Hussein mouthed the words, like he slowed down for a microsecond to review what he was about to say first — almost as if he knew he was treading in dangerous territory.

He’s a muslim. He’s hiding that. And he goofed this morning, letting out the truth.

Couldn’t be more obvious.

Go to the original thread titled “Freudian Slip” and follow post #750. It explains everything pretty well.
