320335, Report: McCain Stands By As His Supporter Calls Hillary A "Bitch"
Posted by antiimperialist on Tue Nov-13-07 11:27 AM

We've just obtained some video of a Fox local affiliate reporting on a McCain campaign appearance in South Carolina. In it, one of McCain's supporters emphatically calls Hillary Clinton, McCain's fellow United States Senator, a "bitch." McCain's response? According to the Fox affiliate's reporter, McCain "laughed off" the comment. Take a look:

We contacted the McCain campaign about this to ask whether McCain should have condemned the remark, whether he wanted to condemn it now, and whether the Fox affiliate's report had represented what happened accurately.

His camp declined to comment

She asks "How do we beat the bitch" and he first laughs and asks if she wants him to interpret that. And then he says it's a good question. Jeez!

DSB

along with the new footage.

That will sharpen the anger of so many women that are undecided and move them right into the Hillary camp.

Bill Press is a Dem who often shows up on MSNBC in the daytime.

about 10 years ago.

Underneath, he's such a jerk. The bomb-Iran thing. And then there's how he whistles when he speaks. Yeah, petty on my part but it drives me nuts. Gets to my eardrums so that I usually have to turn the sound way down.

I'll leave her alone... Thirteen year old Chelsea shouln't have been fair game either...

Matthews has bent over backwards trying to mend her gaffes.

Ha! Rudy has called her lots of names already - I bet you he will get to Bitch before this is all over.

Angry people do stupid things...

had it been the other way around, had a Clinton or Obama or Edwards supporter called McCain a "warmongering prick," and had the Democrat laughed, it would be a three day news story splashed on Sludge and kept alive by then interviewing the person and having them explain, in detail, what a "warmongering prick" is.

Then Russert would bring it up on MTP the following week.
