Fox News clears up the "that one" comment......(insert epic eye roll here)

[mckeown1128]

They quickly read a statement from the McCain campaign that explained that it wasn't a gaff at all... the memo read something like "that one...is the new phrase for Obama as in... that one's friendship with unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers... or that one's radical pastor etc"

Fox News getting on top of this fiasco for McCain... they literally and admittedly read the McCain campaigns press release/talking points out on the air to "clarify"

[grannylib]

1. ROFLMAO...what a bunch of shit. It's Faux - what else but to repeat

Reich Wing Nut talking points?

[av8rdave]

2. YGTBSM!!!!!

[CoffeeCat]

3. You're joking....right?

That was a statement from the McCain camp?

That's unbelievable...if it's true.

[Mike Daniels]

20. Jesus, that press release makes it worse.....

It basically says that the McCain campaign is no longer going to directly refer to Barack Obama by name.

Wow. Whoever signed off on that needs to be shown the door now.

[NotThisTime]

24. It's got to be a joke...

[Bicoastal]

4. WHAT? That doesn't even make sense!

[Marsala]

5. So it was an INTENTIONAL slight

Gotcha. :eyes:

[krkaufman]

38. Well, look how they responded to the Zapatero/Spain slight.

Same way. It wasn't a gaffe/mistake, we really *are* that big a group of d**ks!"

[Jennicut]

6. huh? It still makes no sense.

Typical faux shilling though.

[tridim]

7. Are you serious?

THAT, was their talking point?

[AspenRose]

8. Heh. Good luck with that, guys.

That cow's out of the barn and she ain't comin' back, you betcha! :rofl:

[central scrutinizer]

9. and that is supposed to help?

makes it even worse

[Curtland1015]

10. Hilarious!

:rofl:

[Drunken Irishman]

11. Wouldn't that be. "the one"?

[BumRushDaShow]

12. LOL!! Rachael had just said that they would have to have some 'splaining to do.

That was fast! :rofl:

[TheCoxwain]

13. The Apologist for McASSHOLE can FUCK themselves ...HARD!!!

BASTARDS ....

Their hatred just bubbled over ..and we saw them for who they really are

[PermanentRevolution]

14. How is that better?

So it's now McCain's official campaign policy to refer to an esteemed colleague in the Senate by a completely dismissive and belittling label?

[Bensthename]

15. Soooo, that is suppose to clear that BS up??

[Joe the Revelator]

16. That really just makes it worse for McCain...and its a dog whistle.

[SIMPLYB1980]

17. This shit is crazy!

[high density]

18. hahahaha, they're making it worse

[Occam Bandage]

19. So...it's now the McCain campaign's official position to belittle his fellow Senators?

Yeah, that's much better!

[lxlxlxl]

21. no f@#$@#g way...

are you kidding ?

[frickaline]

22. whaaaaaaaa? o.O

That makes no sense.

[BlueIdaho]

23. His name is Senator Obama - he has a title and He's certainly earned it - ass holes.

But soon you can call him Mr. President.

[TennesseeDem]

25. huh?

What the fuck does that even mean?

[Cha]

26. Fucking mccain either had a senior moment or

he's the rudest motherfucker to walk the Planet.

[Higher Standard]

27. So, not only does he "pal around" with terrorists

...but now he does not even warrant an identity. What, do they think he's Patrick McGoohan? He is not a number, he is a free man!

[Arrowhead2k1]

28. You've got to be joking. That's pretty fucking pathetic McLame.

:rofl:

[Erin Elizabeth]

29. Doesn't matter one bit.

All anyone has to do is watch the video clip of it to see and hear for themselves how condescending and arrogant it was.

[Sparkly]

30. Huh???

That doesn't even begin to make any sense! :crazy:

[bigwillq]

31. There's spin...and then there's SPIN

what bullshit. It was a disrespectful comment..McCain should be ashamed.

[bmbmd]

32. Clearly, it means "that one"

you know-"that one in the woodpile".

[krkaufman]

33. Sounds like the McCain campaign realizes what a pile McCain left on the stage with "that one." n/t

[cameozalaznick]

34. When you have to issue a comment, you know it's bad

[Higher Standard]

37. Even Rove would tell them that

His mantra is that if you have to explain and defend your comments, you've lost.

[TexasObserver]

35. THAT ONE (the excuse) is not going to sell.

[BlueStateGirl]

36. I think maybe I get it. McCain handed out cuff links to the press

making fun of Obama and calling him "the one".

Maybe that's how they are trying to spin it.

They are attacking Barak for being messianic.

Idiots.

[workinclasszero]

39. Of course Fox is a front for the Rethug party

right?:shrug:

Piss on Faux "News"

[Ilsa]

40. It just means that McCain can't adjust to new or evolving situations.

He has to have everything scripted for him, or he falls on his ass.
