McCain's Brother Says N. Va. 'Communist Country'

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican presidential candidate John McCain's brother made an apparent joke at a campaign rally this weekend that might not play well in parts of newly competitive Virginia.

Joe McCain, speaking at an event in support of his brother, called two Democratic-leaning areas in Northern Virginia ''communist country,'' according to a report on The Washington Post's Web site.

''I've lived here for at least 10 years and before that about every third duty I was in either Arlington or Alexandria, up in communist country,'' Joe McCain, a Navy veteran, said at an event in Loudoun County, Va.

Not only is this an incredibloy stupid thing to say, but it really speaks to the McCain camp being out of touch....Hell, they are still fighting the Vietnam was to hear these bozos talk.

2. Republicans are weird
They are insulting bitter crybabies who think the world is against them even when they are in power. The most childish people I have ever seen are Republican politicians.

3. So do you have a lot of Olympic figure skaters in your community?
It'd be cool if you could convince them to defect before the next Winter Olympics.

6. Wow, so he insults a state that his brother needs desperately?
No matter that he was supposedly only referencing NoVA. Divide and conquer a state don't work.

Way to go you McLames! :applause: :sarcasm:
