I agree with you. I was responding to a FReeper, not McCain. I think the old lady sounded dumb, her comment was ill-conceived and inappropriate. I think she was probably reaching for “Muslim” rather than “Arab,” but it still shouldn’t have been said.

McCain was playing some immediate damage control. What choice did he have? On another thread people are saying he’s “surrendered” b/c he didn’t say, “Damn right he is! Down with the Arab!”

Political expediency trumps “tough talk” every day of the week. FReepers need to understand it, live with it, and work with it.

Don’t “sumbitch” the system, find a way to make it work to your advantage.

The media is playing word games with their criticism of the Mc Cain Palin campaign. They are itching to brand them as racists. Mc Cain is playing it cool to keep them from having anything to trumpet.
