"I mean... Spain! Spain is a NATO ally!"

[redqueen]

:rofl:

That was good, too! :7

[Lex]

1. It was beautiful! Obama was all OMG! WTF?

[redqueen]

2. Yes... at first it was just that McCain said he wouldn't even sit down with the leader of Spain...

and then came the WTFness... because really... WTF?!

[roguevalley]

35. while barack was saying that, mccain was muttering 'horseshit'

[Swamp Rat]

3. LOL!

:D

[grannylib]

4. When that reporter asked McIDIOT about Europe and he heard "You(something)"

and replied, "What about me what?" in a rather testy voice, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I don't remember the M$M pointing out that part of his lunacy at all...WTF???

I did love that line! Obama kicked him to the curb on that one.

[Snazzy]

8. europe

My what?

C'mon senior moments are funny stuff... C'ept for potential leaders of the free world.

[Politicalboi]

5. I wish he would have

Brought up the fact MaGoo mixed up Spain for Latin America.

[mrsteve]

6. That may have been a bit of a dog whistle

As much as the Republican use coded speech for racism, this could very well have been Obama implying that McCain is just not quite mentally here any more.

The difference - racism is completely unacceptable in any context. Possible mental infirmities, however, should be legitimate issues in a national election.

So, therefore, the correct response is "Woo-hoo Obama - nice hit!"

[redqueen]

9. Interesting way to put it...

[lumberjack_jeff]

21. In a way, yes. I think mostly it was bait. It's a pity that McCain didn't really bite.

his possible answers: a) backpedal. "oops. I forgot that all those hispanic sounding names aren't all latin american despots".
b) bluster "uh... well spain, home of generalissimo Fransisco Franco (who is still dead, btw) has a track record of icky-ness"

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

23. He didn't bite? Maybe not bite but check this out!

[lumberjack_jeff]

27. I don't see the connection to the bailout bill. Can you check your link? n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

34. Oops! Wrong link! Check out the thread where McCrash mouths horsesh*t, not once,but twice

when Obama was talking about Spain. :)

[ladywnch]

41. he more than mouths it.....he verbalizes it!!!! twice. n/t

[Frank Cannon]

33. He didn't bite because he knew he was busted...

for being a geographic moron.

[JI7]

7. i thought it was one of the best parts

this wasn't just about ACH MAD DANIJIFAFDJACD , but he was not willing to talk to SPAIN .

[lonestarnot]

10. I mean REALLY! FUCKING A! GOOD!

:rofl: :P

[redqueen]

11. I saw someone's comment earlier - 'no zingers'

Someone wasn't paying very much attention!

Or doesn't know what a zinger is... :P

:hi:

[iamthebandfanman]

12. but but but theyre socialist! oh noes!!

lol

oh wait, so are we now... but only the horrible bad parts of socialism...
you know, the parts where the workers get nothing and still suffer...

OH WAIT, its fascism. oops.

[JBoy]

13. That comment seemed to get McCain's goat the most.

[unblock]

14. mclame's so old he remembers when spain was on hitler's side.

maybe that's why he had to dodge the original question.


i'm not exaggerating, btw; he was almost 9 when wwii ended.

[iamthebandfanman]

15. if theres anybody who knows about fascism

its the republican in the race ;)

[redqueen]

16. Hahahaha... dang.

Just another reminder of how close Palin could be to the presidency.

:o

[kenny blankenship]

28. Actually he never got over the sinking of the Maine

William Randolph Hearst told him personally that Spain did it, and despite studies, now 30 years old, that suggested that a coal dust explosion could have been responsible, McCain believes the Perfidious Spaniard theory to this day.

[central scrutinizer]

17. I wish he had mentioned that Spain has 1000 troops in Afghanistan and have lost soldiers

It would have been another chance to bring it back to Afghanistan. But that was my favorite moment in the debate and I loved that the split screen showed McW mouthing, twice, "horseshit"

[barbtries]

18. is that on youtube yet?

i quit watching for 5-10 minutes, and missed one of the few really priceless moments apparently.

[redqueen]

19. Yup... it's near the end.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wIsKm1AA_8

:)

[barbtries]

20. thanks i will check it out

[barbtries]

22. oh, it was the horsehit comment

on a different thread someone said he didn't say horseshit, so i got my son out here and made him listen with me.

i actually thought mccain had said the rain in spain etc or something like that.

[redqueen]

25. Is that what he's saying?

:o

[barbtries]

26. yeah, i think so

the first time under his breath the second time audibly.

[Sydnie]

30. I wish that was what he was saying but he appears to have said

"of course" meaning that he would meet with Spain.

Love the split screen though. Who broadcast it that way?

[redqueen]

31. MSNBC... that's where I watched it.

I didn't hear "horseshit" either... :shrug:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

24. Check this out. :)

:)

[helderheid]

29. You forgot Poland!

:rofl:

[codjh9]

36. Yeah, that was great - too bad Obama couldn't have actually said 'So what the fuck

was THAT all about, McPuke?'

[MadrasT]

37. That was my favorite debate moment. n/t

[redqueen]

39. Mine was "... I think we can take a look at our judgment."

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x7212660

[MadrasT]

42. Woot! That one was awesome, too! n/t

[johnlal]

38. North Koreans are shorter...

The North Koreans are three inches shorter than South Koreans. McCain argued this in support of his argument that we shouldn't have talks with the North Koreans.

Incidentally, John McCain is several inches shorter than Barrack Obama. Should they have even debated?

[redqueen]

40. ...

:rofl:

[Monk06]

46. "They're almost as short as the gooks, uh zipper heads, uh rice munchers .... well you know "

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

43. Did McCain even respond to that? I don't think he rebutted it at all

To me, that was even more amazing than Obama bringing it up.

[On the Road]

44. I Wish McCain HAD Tried to Rebut it

McCain was obviously confused by the original question and thought Zapatero was a hostile Latin American dictator or rebel leader.

But he couldn't admit being confused about such a basic fact. So his campaign "confirmed" he was talking about Spain.

It makes him fair game. He can only deny it by looking at an idiot whose campaign was trying to cover for him.
