Just because McCain uses the word "gook," please don't hold him responsible for saying "spic" twice today
John Aravosis (DC) · 9/16/2008 11:44:00 PM ET ·

John McCain is very careful about his words, and his campaign only lets him say exactly, and only, what they want him to say. McCain never says anything any more that isn't 100% scripted, no press conferences, nothing. So, I mean, he did use the word "spic" twice today, so I'm just not sure what else we're to think other than John McCain is a Latino-hating racist.

McCain Slips in Citing Investor Protection Agency

When Senator McCain delivered a speech this morning on the upheaval on Wall Street, he referred to several federal agencies and regulators that he pledged to reform to better serve both investors and the public. But in listing the organizations, he didn't get all of the names right.

He referred twice to the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, a government-mandated non-profit entity that restores funds to investors with assets in bankrupt or failing brokerage firms, according to its Web site. The acronym is SIPC, but Mr. McCain reversed the letters and both times read the initials aloud as "S-P-I-C."

The acronym was also listed incorrectly in the speech text e-mailed to reporters, a glaring mistake because the word as printed is identical to a derogatory term for Hispanics.

For Mr. McCain, the slip is doubly unfortunate coming just one day after he issued a statement in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month.

1. Fucking racist bastard.

He said that on purpose. Asshole.

[whistle]

2. Wait until he calls the Pope a Mick

:wow:

[evlbstrd]

7. Mackerel Snapper would be more appropriate.

Cuz the pope sure as hell ain't Irish.

3. I know Repukes are racist, but....

I do think this is more in line with that other Republican trait: Total fucking stupidity. You know, like saying "nucular" instead of "nuclear".

Gotta say, though, the timing is priceless! Let's hope he keeps alienating people left and right before November! :rofl:

5. D'oh. You beat me too it. Was just gonna post the same thing.

Fascinating, isn't it?

6. Naah, This is more easily explained by dumbfuckery

and confusion. Grampy couldn't remember the acronym. Never attribute to malevolence that which is more easily explained by stupidity.
