Media/McCain Missed the "Lipstick" on Obama Friday Night!
The talking heads missed something Friday night (or are afraid to bring it up)..and McCain walked right squat into it!

Recall that after the debate, the media began to spin a McCain victory/or tie...and then the polls came in. They switched to "mentioning" that it could be due to McCain's "condescending" tone. Here's what they missed:

First..think "Palin". Think how Biden has been warned by the media not to be "condescending" or "arrogant" with Palin. Now, go back to Friday's debate:

Obama, so to speak, was "the Palin" (only with brains) on that stage. McCain's arrogant, condescending, dismissive attitude toward Obama screamed "racism" just like that attitude toward a woman would scream "sexism". Every Black in the country (and minority) had to be enraged at that treatment of a Black man. Every White (except the bigots) had to be terribly uncomfortable with watching this and embarrassed that a Black man would be treated this way on national/international tv. It made McCain look like something out of the 1950's when dogs were let lose on Blacks.

Yup..this was McCain's "lipstick on a pig" moment..but this was done deliberately and it was done for 90 minutes in front of the world. Nice job, asshole.
