Andrea said alot of people will take offense

[livedemocarticordie]

especially people of color because it was so dismissive.

.... hahhahahha

[bookman]

1. I took offense...

...and my color is white.

[lcdnumber6]

me too.

[bdamomma]

13. me too.

[sweetroxie]

33. Me too.

The man has no shame. And no class

[DemFromMem]

2. I don't know why "you people" are so upset.

Words don't matter, after all.

[Arugula Latte]

41. They're just uppity and they don't know their place.

:P

[nc4bo]

3. If you are a white person and were offended by the term "That One", kindly raise your hand. nt

[rateyes]

4. ...

:hi:

[salbi]

5. Raising both my hands!

[rocktivity]

8. .

:woohoo:
rocknation

[chitty]

6. I am white (whatever that supposed to indicate)

I thought McCain talking down to the young black fellow about Freddie Mac was more telling than that.

He just assumed that he, the black guy, wouldn't, couldn't, understand such things.

[TxBlue]

16. To Andrea it indicates

that racism is ok, at least, that's what her inane comments inferred to me.

[CitizenLeft]

36. shockingly...

Republican shill Leslie Sanchez brought that up on CNN, saying that McCain was patronizing to him, the only person to say so (that I heard). It was the one and only time I've ever agreed with her.

[BlooInBloo]

9. The idea that only black folks could possibly care about racism is....

really shitty one of the shittier parts of white racism.

[Left Is Write]

11. Raising my hand.

[nc4bo]

12. Andrea Mitchell makes my stomach ache. ITA w/fannie mae question. nt

[TooRaLoo]

14. Me.

I'm also Native American, but appearance-wise I'm a white woman.

[crispini]

18. .

:hi:

[jberryhill]

22. This One Is Offended

And You People who aren't, need to think.

[kestrel91316]

23. (raises hand and is blonde, blue-eyed WASP)

[stillcool]

24. highly offended here..

:hi:

[complain jane]

26. hand raised

[shadowknows69]

37. Hell yes

It was the most disrespectful thing I think I've ever heard in a debate.

[JeffR]

38. Hell, yes.

I heard crap like that throughout my childhood in the South. I know what it means and how it was meant. Couldn't have been much more blatant without the networks having to offer a retroactive apology for the live feed content. Disgusting display.

[Lugnut]

42. Hand up

:hi:

I thought it was very offensive and disrespectful of McCain to address a fellow senator in that manner.

[JBoy]

7. I took offense, and I'm not even American!

[TxBlue]

10. Andrea offended us by that remark

:hi: :hi: :hi: :hi:

[laruemtt]

15. i'm olive - and i took offense! n/t

[msongs]

17. big moan at our debate gathering (200 people) & boos for lieberman nt

[jab105]

19. I have two dogs...one bad dog and one good dog...

my husband and I call the bad dog "that one"...when he's being bad...

I would never call a person "that one"...much less the future president...McCain HATES Obama...

[complain jane]

28. Republicans = hate

John McCain just underlined what a weak spineless coward he is, caving in to his hateful Repuke base.

[crankychatter]

20. I have a ghastly green pallor, and I too, am offended - nt

[complain jane]

30. LOL

[Starry Messenger]

21. it was disgusting.

Angry and condescending.

[youthere]

25. I'm offended. I'm not white...I'm damn near clear.

[im1013]

27. Also offended here!

:hi:

[Supersedeas]

29. Ms Greenspan and her blaming the initial house failure to pass bailout on Black Caucus

some may take offense

[LiberalHeart]

31. Sounded dismissive and belittling to me; not racist.

[BuyingThyme]

35. Exactly.

[JeffR]

40. Dismissive and belittling are precisely the avenues racist speech pursues.

So I think you just showed why you're mistaken, respectfully.

[faithfulcitizen]

32. I took offense to her description "people of color". If you mean AA, sat that. I mean

are hispanics going to be mad too and my fairer shade of people are not? Just weird.

[montana_hazeleyes]

34. I make Dracula look tan and

I'm offended!

[Hekate]

39. Me and my red hair and freckles took offense. Gramps is a dismissive shit. Mean, angry, small. nt
