"that one" is THE one that will sink McCain

[doh_phooey]

THAT ONE

Put it in the books!!!!

Along with "There you go again" and "Senator, you're no John Kennedy."

[malaise]

1. Yep

Big mistake. KO and Rachel will skewer him for 'that one'.

[Orrex]

2. Clarification, please?!

I'm unable to watch the debate at the moment...

[doh_phooey]

3. McCain referred to Obama as "that one"

Usually you refer to your opponent by name, or Senator such and such.

McCain called him THAT ONE.

[Orrex]

6. Holy shit! Was he waving a noose when he said it?

What an asshole! :mad:

[godai]

5. McCain said...Guess who voted for it...That one (Obama).

He was making a contrast for voting against a bill which Obama voted for. He crudely used the term 'that one' while pointing at Obama.

[Orrex]

9. Again, what an asshole!

The only way such a phrasing would be correct is if only one Senator voted against it, and Obama was that one.

What a fuckhead!

[dweller]

14. no, still not appropriate

there are tooo many impications involved in it.

that 'one' what?

(insert word implied and not spoken)

mcCain't is simply a rascist.
dp

[Orrex]

17. Oh, definitely not appropriate

But at least in my whacked-out hypothetical, it would have been technically
Except to the Republican base, of course.

[doh_phooey]

20. now they're saying he meant "the one"

from his youtube video

Reminds me of how they redefined "fundamentals of the economy" to mean the workers.

[Orrex]

33. That makes even less sense

:shrug:

[doh_phooey]

34. they're desperate

[SammyWinstonJack]

35. That pic!

:scared:

[doh_phooey]

36. Invasion Of The Body Snatchers

[no1dolo]

4. I missed it! What one?

[malaise]

7. He referred to Obama as

'that one'. Big big mistake. That one is leading in all the polls. STFU McPOW.

[DemoRabbit]

8. AGREE! Super offensive!

[reger60]

10. That one WHAT???

That ni**er? No, not THAT ni**er. THAT ni**er.

Geez, what an asshole.

[eowyn_of_rohan]

21. You won't believe this

Supposedly it relates to the McCain accusation that Obama is "The One" - as in, AntiChrist. Makes me absolutely sick.

[Sequoia]

39. Hey look, a new person! Welcome!

[chupacabranation]

11. What about (while pointing at O): "We don't have time for on-the-job training." n/t

[Beregond2]

12. Especially after that "You've probably never heard of

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac" line to the black guy. He might as well have worn a hood tonight.

[orleans]

16. i found that terribly insulting to the audience guy too.

like the guy is so fucking stupid he's never heard of fannie and freddie before. why didn't mcfuck just say: "i know you're a fucking idiot, so let me draw you a little picture..."

what a dick!

[road2000]

30. I'm glad others noticed this, too.

KO, Tweety & Co seemed to miss it, among all the other monumental garbage moments, but one of Diane Rehm's guests pointed it out this morning.

[orleans]

32. oh yes, people noticed it. i started yelling at the tv.

he was so condescending. he's such a shit.

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. Loved the dog whistle, NOT

[Stinky The Clown]

15. This is different from "boy" ..... how, exactly?

Motherfucker.

[Dukkha]

18. "That one" = "You people"

[EvolveOrConvolve]

19. He said it the same way

my racist grandpa does when he's talking about an African American and he doesn't want to come right out and drop the N-Bomb.

[noonwitch]

22. He should have said "That guy".

That was bad on his part. I doubt he intended racism, but it will definitely be interpreted that way by black people.

[begin_within]

23. He'll never live it down

[Sequoia]

41. I love the ceiling cat!

[doh_phooey]

24. What did McCain mean when he called Obama 'that one'?

A growing perception that Republican presidential candidate John McCain is outright disdainful of having to share a stage with -- let alone losing to -- Barack Obama is gaining more traction after McCain dismissively referred to his opponent as "that one" during Tuesday's debate.

Andrew Sullivan pronounced it "the moment the contempt spilled over."

"Did John McCain just refer to Obama as 'that one'?" campaign spokesman Bill Burton asked in an e-mail to reporters just minutes after it happened. A video of the exchange wound up on YouTube before the debate was even over.

After a previous debate appearance in which McCain seemed unable to even look at Obama, some are wondering whether McCain's "that one" quip reveals more about his character. Brian Beutler notes the phrase is "a singular rendering of the phrase 'Those people!'"

25. That One Pic

[Sabriel]

27. Yep, THAT one!

I voted for THAT one absentee yesterday. Fun, fun.

BTW, I also liked McCain's snarky comment to Brokaw that he wouldn't pick him.

Jerk.

[DevonRex]

26. When the clip was played for the 3rd time last night, I looked at the black

young man who was behind Obama at the time. The look on his face was one of incredulity. He composed himself well and did not allow himself to display outright shock or anger. But you could clearly see that he was insulted, as we were.

Next time you see the clip, focus on that young man. It will be an eye opener.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

28. I saw that too...

He had a very visible response to what McCain said. I couldn't believe McCain was stupid enough to say that.

[DevonRex]

31. I can't believe it either. If he had planned to use a this one/that one

contrast I see that it would have been a bit less offensive. But he had to know that he needed to say it just right for it to be barely acceptable. So, my opinion is that he said it how he really meant it. Freudian slip kind of thing.

And it's very telling, isn't it?

[joeunderdog]

29. If they give half the airplay to this gaffe as the famous Dean rallly

comments, it'll be hard for McCain to overcome it. It was at the very least disrespectful and unpresidential and at most a contrived racial slur. Take your pick.

A lot of pundits (from both sides) did talk about it last night.

[XemaSab]

38. The difference:

Nobody in the audience heard the "Dean scream."

I think quite a few people there heard "that one."

[Sequoia]

37. McCain didn't shake hands with him afterwards either.

He is such a bad sport among other things. I'd like to hear about his military years and how he treated black soldiers back then.

[Contrary1]

40. I hope Obama starts referring to himself as

"This One"

[doh_phooey]

42. McCain

"The None"
