If you're going to take umbrage with the silly statement by Meghan McCain, in her first interview, from what I can tell, on network television where she was clearly very nervous, and continue to drive home (by quoting your own posts since nobody else sees it as a big deal), then why can I not using Hussein when I refer to your candidate? He thinks it's a good way to get the world back on our side.

Use Hussein as many times as you want to. It offends me that you're trying to be offensive.

And yeah, I take complete umbrage with what Meghan McCain said. My son will be deployed next year. I've got friends & relatives in Iraq. It's a horrible feeling. So yeah, she can kiss my ass.
You should take umbrage. She clearly wasn't nervous, knew exactly what she was saying, and she meant every American...not just Barack Hussein Obama or Biden.

And she's clearly the mouthpiece of the McCain campaign.

Did it offend you that Barack Husseing Obama called Palin a pig yesterday or that Biden implied that she didn't really care about her disabled child?

Are you really going to use Hussein in every post? If so I'm 100% done with this thread.

McCain has already used the "lipstick on a pig" analogy twice. Seems like fair play to me. I think tha's a slippery slop that Biden is walking, and he was probably out of line.

I don't care if she's the mouthpiece of the McCain campaign or not. I'm offended that she said it. I'm offended that she didn't immediately correct herself. I'm offended that she's not informed enough to realize that Biden also has a son being deployed. I'm offended that she "really" thinks she knows what war is all about, considering she's never lost a family member to war, and thousands of families have. McCain is allowing her to be a mouthpiece for his campaign, and it's pretty clear that she's got no concept of what war is like, despite the entire campaign being rallied by war stories.

No, I won't. Especially since I can't even spell it correctly.

But I do find it odd that so many people are offended by it when he wants it embraced.

Well, until someone smarter than him told him it wasn't a good idea. It wasn't Republican bloggers or talk show hosts that started using it. It was him. And that cracks me up.

Of course he was. Haven't you made the connection yet?

McCain's running mate is a female, therefore Biden and Obama are sexist.

That's all you need to know. Don't complicate things by looking for logic.

I'm sure she didn't realize what she'd said. And she wouldn't have had time to correct it anyway. That was the end of the interview. Ever been on TV before? National TV? It's easy to get nervous. She was very, very nervous. And she was responding to a question where the host was asking her if her dad was out of touch since Obama said he was. I took her comment as saying that among the candidates that nobody understood more. She could be a complete flake, and I'd say that's a good possibility. She could have meant that nobody understood like her dad...and meant nobody in the country. I just doubt that's the case, as much as some want to believe it.

And Obama clearly meant Palin when he said pig and he clearly meant McCain when he said old fish. McCain's used it before, but not in the way Obama did. Just look at the way he phrased it, relishing in the crowd's response.

But it made a good commercial.
