The lefties keep playing the race card....

[TheRightGuy]

eff’em

[Mojave]

McCain should have said “that The One.”

[Future Snake Eater]

What you said.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Oh yes, “they’re” always SO “offended”

Address problems in “your own” backyards then get back with us.

I’m so sick of this.

[MrB]

if you are a person of colour [who sees EVERYTHING as a race issue], and someone trots out the 'that one' remark, you instantly take it as racist. I know that I did.

[DogBarkTree]

Nationwide polls indicate McCain lost a total of 1 black vote from the debate comment.

[lonestar67]

Wait, McCain’s campaign was accused of racism?

This is news— rush this to the front page.

[Maverick68]

So what. Some of us simply don’t care anymore. I’m tired of the racialist crap...

[rintense]

I called it last night on the debate thread as soon as he said it. Predictable.

[airborne]

Big deal. Just another thing they have in common with extremist Muslims.

[ArrogantBustard]

Those two small words didn't just leave many pundits cringing, but more significantly, they caused some in the African-American community to demonstrate that it is the last home of racism in America.

[avacado]

"Regardless of intent, it showed Senator McCain to be culturally ignorant, and completely unaware of the implications of what his off-the-cuff statement meant to people of colour," he wrote."

What a moron! McCain has a daughter of "color!" These people need to move along. This institutional whining is getting old.

[Larry Lucido]

Well, there goes about 90% of the black vote.

[MarkT]

That damn McCain making that remark....we were so close to getting a majority of the black vote and he spoiled....damn.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

These are the same folks, who, if 0bama is elected, will busy themselves creating the paradise on earth you and I have always imagined could be, if only.....

/s

[svcw]

Well in reality he is only half black, so they should only be half offended.
It amazes me how flipping thinned skin people in the USA have become.

[wiseprince]

Did they threaten to vote Democrat this year?

[Retired Greyhound]

This kind of crap will NOT help Obama.

It will just remind voters how touchy an issue race is.

[Gator113]

LOL....
