OMFG! Did McCain just refer to the American people as his "fellow prisoners"???

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

I wasn't paying 100% attention... anyone hear that?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

1. Now that would be accurate after the last 8 yrs. nt

[cliffordu]

4. Really. Bout time Gramps started telling the truth.

[Whalestoe]

2. Yes. He did.

Have you been looking at Palin behind him? She keeps making the dumbest fucking faces I've ever seen.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

5. If so, that's YouTube Gold

[stevil]

3. Yes he did

Heard it also. Youtube moment

[louis-t]

6. The men with the white coats should be along soon.

They really are losing it.

[Roxy66]

7. Yes!!! He just said " Across this country, thats what I've been telling my fellow prisoners

OMFG!!! A little PTSD maybe?

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

10. Incredible

[VolcanoJen]

11. In what context? I kinda zoned out

Was he actually talking about his POW experiences when he made that gaffe? Or was it a totally disassociated senior moment?

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

13. No, he was talking about voters he has met across America

But instead of "My fellow Americans" he said "My fellow prisoners"

[VolcanoJen]

14. WOW! Well, that makes his gaffe even more remarkably creepy!!!

:wow:

[Hieronymus]

22. I heard it too ... poor old bastard.

[Barney]

8. Yep. I heard it, too.

He is so focused on mentioning his POW status that he got a little ahead of himself. Saying "prisoners" meant the line didn't work like it was supposed to, so the crowd didn't know how to react. They were silent before they realized they were supposed to yell.

[KayLaw]

9. I'm sorry.

I really don't get it.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

12. He wasn't talking about being a POW, he was describing the whole American people as prisoners

[KayLaw]

15. Okay.

That's just weird.

[TooRaLoo]

16. Kick nt

[WA98070]

20. OMG...your "bumper" sticker...That is the BEST!!!

[crossroads]

17. kick

[Democat]

18. Someone post a video link!

Sounds funny!

[prolesunited]

19. I thought I was just hearing things

Definitely will be viral by the 6 o'clock news.

[Lars39]

21. So we've gone from US citizens, to 'Muricans, to fellow prisoners?!

:wtf:

[krkaufman]

23. Yes, he did. And I have no idea what he was trying to say.

Is he losing it?

[deminks]

24. Video will be here shortly

In most political speeches, the common refrain is "my fellow citizens".

John McCain just referred to the country as "my fellow prisoners."

Video shortly.
