Full Video: McCain Says Supporter's "Bitch" Query About Hillary Is "An Excellent Question"

By Greg Sargent - November 13, 2007, 2:44PM

Below we noted that a local Fox affiliate had reported on a John McCain event in South Carolina where he'd stood by while one of his supporters called Hillary a "bitch." The footage the Fox affiliate used had been edited to make it unclear what his response was.

Well, now Tim Grieve at Salon has dug up a fuller version of the video from another local station.

(snip)

"How do we beat the bitch?" McCain's supporter asked him. And as you can see, it appears that after McCain joked about offering a "translation" of his supporter's query, he said:

"That's an excellent question."

(snip)

Amazing how some of the most rabid Clinton "supporters" accuse Senator Obama of being sexist while giving McCain a free pass. I've said this before, and I'll say it again, John McCain is basically Mitt Romney with a better relationship with the media. He will say and do whatever he needs to do or say, with no underlying principles guiding him whatsoever.

(Just to clarify, this isn't a thread about Senator Clinton. It's about the people who claim to support her who have taken it too far. I actually have faith that she will eventually say what needs to be said.)

1. That's because he didn't have to kiss ass for her votes back then. Now he does.

4. He'd suck Larry Craig's wanger in a bathroom for votes
even tho he doesn't share any of the goals of the gblt voting bloc.

I think it's pretty disgusting that all these Hillaristas are planning to vote for the guy who said that Chelsea (who was a teenager at the time) was so ugly because Janet Reno was her daddy.

Yeah, that's the man to vote for if you're pissed off about the sexism in this nation. :eyes:

5. I'll be sending you payment instructions for my keyboard.
I'm not sure it's going to work now that I spit Diet Coke up all over it after reading this.
