Manners, Manners: McCain Refers To Obama As "That One"

Holy Jeebus, is the McCrankypants going to yell at him to get off his lawn next?

UPDATE: And he won't shake Obama's hand at the end of the debate either. Afraid of cooties?

UPDATE #2: You gotta love the entrepreneurial spirit of Obama supporters

My friends.

My friends, I'm an asshole, I'm an asshole, my friends.

hahahaha. awesome. so perfect.

My FRIENDS, go to cnn.com and VOTE ! Right hand margin clique..

Who fared better in Tuesday's presidential debate?

Sen. John McCain 16% 22239
Sen. Barack Obama 80% 113347
No clear winner 4% 5276

uhhh, at 14 seconds does mcnasty tap obama on the left shoulder... like we did in elementary school? made you look!

To be fair, I'd believe McCain is petty enough to not shake his hand, but McCain tapped Obama to shake. Obama was too quick on the draw and thought he got snubbed, so moved on to Cindy.

You can see McCain say to him something about it like 'oops, you're too quick' or something to that effect, realizing Obama thought he got snubbed.

I think McCain is a dick, but let's not get carried away here and try and twist things.

I love how Wolf couldn't say the obvious about what was so apparent and just danced around it by talking about how McCain apparently isn't so fond of Obama. Quite clearly he rejected the handshake and redirected it to his wife.

Also, the context of the photo posted here is not explained. I assumed it was part of the debate, thinking, "Well, he must have shook his hand at some point." However, in the photo McCain is wearing a yellow tie, and in the video he is wearing a red one.

My friends, do I have a load of crap to sell you!

McCain sounds like a used car salesman, the pushy guy who never met you but acts like he is your best friend in order to sell you a lemon that he just fleeced some other guy for.

I have been watching this mess that McCain have done during the election and his attack on Barack Obama is crazy. John McCain is not only out of touch but he is racist. What he is doing is a disgrace to his country with his disgruntle ways is disgusting. Not to shake his hand and push is wife up to do it is a good sign that he like pushing people around. His wife body language was apparent as well. She had her hands behind her back. If you think you are better than everybody else that's the way you act like the McCains. She not only didn't want to shake Barack Obamas hand she did not shake anybody's hand but Brocoff willing. McCain need to learn how to respect everybody including the one who is winning right now in the polls. Barack Obama. Let be real if Obama had act like McCain it would be a lot of bad things being said about him in the media. What was very noticable to the veiwers was overlooked by the panel last night. That is McCain and his wife don't like Barack and his wife and whats scary is we don't know why. What is it really!

This man would shoot me in the face to become President, if he thought that was all it would take. He has nothing left but hate and bluster. His motto would be "McCain First!" if he had to tell the truth.

I expect that a lot of people, including Senator Obama, would be willing to shoot you in the face in order to become President.

LOL!

I have to admit, for pure comedic snark value, that was a pretty funny response.

But McCain is still a crank.
;)

When I heard that my head popped. The only time that happened in this otherwise boring debate. Could be said that he didn't mean anything by it, but I think he hates Obama and that slipped out.

Watch C-Span 2 and see the surrogates spinning it

and Liebermann? Independent my ass!

FRIST!!

Yes, the old FART did it !!

C&L seems to be still not up to speed?

" The site is currently not available due to technical problems." All the time, and as slow as during previous debates..

I'd hate to guess how many people were on tonight, constantly updating. I didn't have any technical responses until page 6 of the open thread, and only one after that. Good job tonight.

I thought Obama was The One...

I thought Keanu Reeves was The One. :-D

I thought Keanu Reeves was One Half of Bill & Ted

I thought he was the lesser of those two evils, too.

And that will slow down any site.

After His Latest Debate Performance, McCain Considers Suspending His CHAMPAGNE
http://satiricalpolitical.com/?p=3622

I think McCain meant to call Obama "one of the good ones." ;-)

POW McCrankypants did not have a fine night.

Y'all mean, that boy, ovah theyah? Y'all be skeert o' him, ya heah?

Is he running for junior high school class president? What a graceless dope.

I wish I could see a repeat of that moment.

It's on Andrew Sullivan's website. We just watched it. What an ass.

...TPM has video up of McSame refusing to shake Obama's hand after the debate....

Thanks!

The same thing McCain says when he points to the black waiter at the country club who didn't serve him his cocktail.

That one!

have you ever driven home in the evening and
along the streets are alot of scantily dressed
women. and as you pass them they most often do
something to attract your attention.....what is that?
they wink at you. ms. packit-right-in palin reminds
me of all the whores and prostitutes that wink so
mechanically.

if she keeps up this frequent winking,she will
need eye iud to protect the socket and some
superglue to pin up that curtain stretch for an eyelid.

I think she has a nervous tic.

As an eye care pro, one must consider the possibilty she's Esophoric and does that to get 'em working together again.

But then.....

FRIST!!

Yes, the old FART did it !!

Gramps just got knocked the fuck out tonight.
But it's not over yet.

True, they've still got Diebold on their side.

eom

As a nurse and one of the 50,000,000 Americans without health insurance right now, it was when the question was posed, "Is Heath Care a Right or Responsibility?"

Obama: "A Right".

McCain: "A Responsibility".

Obama wins. McCain loses.

THIS is what they'll be discussing tomorrow.

THIS is why thinking in such a simplistic fashion is so ....

....banal, primitive and unproductive.

Health IS

BOTH!

A right to get meaning yes everyone should be cared for..

however if you do not take care of yourself then you are being

unresponible. And quite frankly and leech.

For example .....

I have a freind whom needed replacement knee surgery

that cost 50k. The state of California paid for this...

but

It shouldnt have becuase his knee problem was caused by his OBESITY.

Sorry I don't like paying for people that refuse to take no personal

Resposibility.

Remember words you have written, should it ever come about that you are denied insurance coverage, because the insurance company decided that you have a pre-existing condition that was some how self-inflicted.

to sleep and into a coma

I guess we can make up or try to convince ourselves how great, energizing, and inspiring it was now.

What the fuck was McDepends doing wandering around the stage ?

He have a map that pointed out the precise location of buried treasure or something on it ?

And 2nd ..........

I'm interested in knowing the amount of alcohol poisoning that occurred with those playing a drinking game where the phrase "My Friends" were the key word(s).........

I had to quit after 8 in the first half hour!

Boooozzze murkl biff frnd!

he was like a blind lame chicken scraching for the seeds.. Or, his full Depends were itching .. He didn't 'maverick' too much tonight.

Who You Callin’ a Maverick?

By JOHN SCHWARTZ
Published: October 4, 2008

There’s that word again: maverick. In Thursday’s vice-presidential debate, Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, the Republican candidate, used it to describe herself and her running mate, Senator John McCain, no fewer than six times, at one point calling him “the consummate maverick.”

But to those who know the history of the word, applying it to Mr. McCain is a bit of a stretch — and to one Texas family in particular it is even a bit offensive.

“I’m just enraged that McCain calls himself a maverick,” said Terrellita Maverick, 82, a San Antonio native who proudly carries the name of a family that has been known for its progressive politics since the 1600s, when an early ancestor in Boston got into trouble with the law over his agitation for the rights of indentured servants. "'

CONT ..

Fantastic piece w/cattle non-branding as origin of "Maverick" !

“It’s just incredible — the nerve! — to suggest that he’s not part of that Republican herd. Every time we hear it, all my children and I and all my family shrink a little and say, ‘Oh, my God, he said it again.’ ”

“He’s a Republican,” she said. “He’s branded.”

I'm just sobering up! ;-)

Hahaha!

"Stagger, stagger, stagger. Crawl, crawl, crawl..."
-Yellowbeard, 1983

I counted!! it was 21 times. People had to be passed out by the first quarter!

Sometimes it's hard to understand exactly what McCrusty is saying.
He says "my FRINGE", not my friends.

I couldn't believe it when mccain, responding to an individual in the audience, drove his point home by saying ... yada...yada...yada..."my friend"

He is just a cranky, elitist old bastard. That remark...a remark of contempt...wasn't racially based...it was based all in elitism.

Grandpa is just like every other old CEO, athlete, etc. that has been around too long...and has this air of arrogance...along the lines of..."that thing shouldn't even be sharing the stage with me".

If he won't retire and just get the fuck out of the way...then he should just pass on into history.

I worked for a few years in L.A. with a white asshole who used the term "that one" in a derogatory manner towards Latino employees. The asshole had previously spent 17 years in South Africa pushing his black employees around. He migrated there from Austria. He was a self proclaimed Hitler loving bigot."That one" is definitely racist!

mr crankypants indeed-- john mccain is a rude, ignorant, sob --

a very effective technique... if this were the 40s IN MISSISSIPPI!!!

Take away that rich old bastards healthcare. We are wasting public money on an old coot that can afford his own care.

I just saw the video on another site.

Is he intending to be the President of just the white Republicans of the United States?

FYI - Check out Chuck Berry's "Maybelline" on the Late Night Music Club.

No surprise. Rude as most of what I know about this nasty little man.

Obama was the clear winner of the debate. Carville just said it's over for Gramps, he can take his rude self and plan on starting that Wal Mart greeter job waiting for him.

the obamas stayed after the debate and shook hands with everyone in the audience...the mccains were late for either an elite cocktail party or perhaps it was time change johnny boy's loaded diaper.

You know, johnny was walking around impatiently during the debate (it looked strange seeing McCain on camera wandering around aimlessly when it wasn't his turn) so I believe probably your poopy pants theory or having to pee really badly was on his agenda....

Cindy rushes to his side at the end to get him back to the home before he forgets what he was there for.

McGramps did not come through tonight for his supporters; hes done.

I thought you guys would like to see some of the opinions from the darkside. This one is a mild one. But it does show their ignorance.

Where are Obama’s school records?

Where is Obama’s admissions records?

Where is Obama’s bar application?

Where are Obama’s records from his years in the Illinois legislature?

Where are Obama’s scholarly works as a law professor?

Where is the list of clients and cases Obama was directly involved in as a lawyer?

Where are Obama’s accomplishments?

Why will Obama not tell us what he beleives? What is Obama’s ideology?

Why do we not know anything about Obama – except he has black skin?

Comment by Judy for McCain/Palin2008-2020

grasping at straws... they are desperate and lost. It's over already, I'm shocked. Then again, it's not called an "october surprise" w/out reason... but, McSham looked as pathetic as always. Barry seemed to fade a bit about 2/3 of the way in, but picked it up again towards the end. McSham was rambling, took full advantage of Brokejaw's mancrush, but even the horrible moderation couldn't help him. He's toast....

My friends, I fear it is more and more likely. Cheney and the rest of the PNAC crew probably turned off the debate halfway through so they could sacrifice another puppy or virgin and get back to deciding who we should bomb next.

what do you expect from people who would support a dude who graduated at the bottom of his class?

do we need TWO presidents like that? apparently some people think so.

fkin racist pigs.

can anyone (30+%?) say McCranky won? Am I in Bizzarro world?

No. You're in America. Shit like this only happens here.

the obamas stayed after the debate and shook hands with everyone in the audience...the mccains were late for either an elite cocktail party or perhaps it was time change johnny boy's loaded diaper.

They did more than that. If you looked closely (and i did) they talked with everyone as well.

Enough of this cranky old bastard. At least Reagan had manners.

I no longer want McCain to lose bladder control...I want him to pitch forward and have an aneurysm on camera.

What a miserable old bastard.

Racist. Sorry to be the one to first use it, but it was shockingly disgusting.

No, that was me I think. In so many words.

So that was the fight of the Century?

I better lower my standards down to flat line if that's the case.

Speaking of..the CNN reaction lines have to go.

Agreed. Even if you don't want to watch them, you can't help it.

As I couldn't help it, I noticed McCain flat lined a lot. All of his "zingers" fell flat, so did his ideas, so he resorted to rudeness and racism. Ever the Republican.

riiight...what's he gonna do...have a mission accomplished moment and crash a fighter plane on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier?

Crashing a fighter plane on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier would be NOTHING compared to the damage he will bring to our country if elected.

Racist. Sorry to be the one to first use it, but it was shockingly disgusting.

Sorry, get in line! :)

am i the only who thought mccain was on wheels?

I thought McCain resembled a marble on a plate, with a giant child trying to balance the plate and keep the marble from flying off the edge.

how about showing the post debate handshake

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI0iIOqPGak

Than schmoozing with the crowd and making yourselves accessible the way the Obamas did with those in attendance afterwards , Mr and Mrs GOP Elitists ?

What a pair of shitbags ..........It is going to be a pleasure watching McDepends give his concession speech with his teary-eyed wife behind him on the 4th .............

You've already got a small group of weapons-screened voters who will likely vote for the first candidate who makes an attempt to reach out and greet them. Blowing them off or looking insincere WITH THE CAMERAS ROLLING is fatal.

Looks like the old fart got his clocked cleaned tonight--in his favorite debate format, no less!--and wasn't too happy about it. While I'm leery of making too much of this one event, the trend lines have been in Senator Obama's favor now ever since Caribou Barbie has been shown up for a fraud and this debate did NOTHING to change that.

I do believe all will be well in November...

Just for fun, I went over to Foxnews.com just to see what the wingnuts were saying. Surprisingly, there were many (rough estimate 40%) who think Obama won! Also found this:

John McCain seriously violated the Military Code of Conduct by trading “military information” and making numerous public statements that appeared favorable to the communist war effort in exchange for “special treatment.”during the Vietnam war.

MCCAIN YOU ARE A COWARD, AND THIS IS FROM A 26 YEAR OLD IRAQ VETERAN THAT SERVED 2 TOURS, AND LOST A LOST OF BRETHREN IN COMBAT!! MAY GOD FORGIVE YOU ONE DAY! MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS AT IRAQ NEVER GAVE UP INFORMATION FOR SPECIAL TREATMENT YOU COWARD!!!!

if you dont believe me then visit, http://www.usvetdsp.com/mcianhro.htm

Interesting.

MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS AT IRAQ NEVER GAVE UP INFORMATION FOR SPECIAL TREATMENT YOU COWARD!!!!

Seriously - there are American POWs in Iraq?

Did anyone catch the "hair transplant" crack? Clearly a dig at Biden!

I wish I had been in the washroom, and missed it. But I wasn't. Tacky, cheap, un-funny. Republicans should steer clear of attempts at humour.

Truth be told, it is one of the defining attributes of sociopaths that their humor invariably requires a victim in order to be considered funny. What passes for humor to the sociopath/psychopath is marked by a seeming compulsion to degrade, humiliate and shame. Presummably, it makes them feel better by comparison...building oneself upby knocking others down. Also, the timeless response of the sociopath when caught in an act of predation or when called on an anti-social act is invariably, "But I was just joking",as if the act could be excused if it were accepted as being funny by other sociopaths. The sociopaths remains oblivious to the fact that not everybody else are a fellow malignant personalities, so it never occurs them that the excuse won't fly: when McCain's joke fell flat, he probably thought to himself that he was dealing with a bunch of clueless idiots with no sense of humor.

He is a very twisted personality.

Wow sounds exactly like the last Republican asshole to occupy the Whitehouse.

Is everyone sending this to the undecideds on their Email list?

I changed the mind of a patient in our office today by letting her sit and read it at my computer. She had tears in her eyes when she got up.

The best thing about the debate is that Palin wasn't in the news.

through the show without collapsing or keeling over.

I kind of feel sorry for the guy.

Why? To quote McCain..."this is a tough business."

WHO WON THE SECOND PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE?...

MCCAIN
68% 66,197
OBAMA
28% 27,028

The snap polls I'm seeing are FAR different:

FOX News focus group for Obama

CNN focus group for Obama

CNN National Poll: Who do you believe won the debate?

Obama: 54

McCain: 30

CBS News Poll: Undecided voters

Obama: 39

McCain: 27

Oh it's on Drudge. I think it's funny.

... and quit wasting our time.

what a joke. i'm sure they don't expect anyone to believe it. it's like one of those fake polls to try to sell you something. vote - and win a chance to win a million dollars.

That means that he lost 28% of the 22%ers.

LOLOL. Clearly...he is THE MAN for the extremist of the extreme.

Buchanan may have said that McCain won on points, but he was clearly disheartened.

He knows this is OVER.

man, he must be exhausted from the water he's been carrying as of late. Won on points? MY ASS! Just stage presence alone pointed to a clear winner, and when we look to style points as far as speaking goes, and mastery of policy, McCain lost in every way possible.

Buchanan and that blonde woman Monica Whatshername (the Nixon chick) appeared deranged on the Sunday morning talk shows talking rapturously about how real and genuine and.... and.. REAL Sarah Palin is. It was like a comedy sketch. SNL impersonators couldn't have imitated Buchanan and Monica as badly as Buchanan and Monica imitated themselves pretending to be enamored of Governor Mooseburger.

When he said that the main mistake this country has ever done was to not end Watergate with firing squads.

Buchanan, Rumsfeld, Cheney, heck even Rove... they are all the gift that keeps on giving from that vermin Nixon.

Thank goodness he was not around to see what the idiot son of that Bush asshole has done to this place.

Should have been allowed another question , of McDepends only.

He should have asked Johnny Boy if his Chief Petty Officer is the one who taught him how to crash so many planes so very well........

He didn't crash them...he landed them forcefully...in that mavericky way of his.

Quit trashing a true American Hero!! He didn't crash them - liberals moved the landing strips!

LOL

LOL!

I strongly disagree that the words "that one" weren't racially based as a previous writer proclaims. To reduce Obama to a "thing" is absolutely racist !! "That one" -> "one of those" -> "those people". John McCain is absolutely disgusting!

I think he meant to say "that c*nt"

it wasn't "that Negro"?

Turn off the sound and I can honestly hear him saying "we represent the lollipop guild".

And he won't shake Obama's hand at the end of the debate either. Afraid of cooties?

Maybe if McNugget would touch Obama, some of Obama's style would rub off and McWorse would look quite so bad

Check out the CNN.com home page poll.

Obama 83% (60,000 votes?)
McCain 13% (10,000 votes?)

Wow.

Obama'
