McCain's "Gay Darkie" Problem

This McCain misstep may not be such a little deal. At least not to anyone who gives a shit about race relations in this country.

Meanwhile, the McCain campaign has just named Hamilton County prosecutor Joe Deters as its local chair, a move which has already caused Ohio Democratic State Chair Chris Redfern to issue a denunciation.

Evidently McCain can’t remember why Deters might be the wrong guy for any position in his campaign.

McCain’s appearance in Cincinnati, shopping for Black votes, finds him steeped in controversy through the company kept by his local representative.

Back in February, McCain distanced himself from comments made by local radio personality Willie Cunningham. Cunningham kept referring to “Barack Hussein Obama,” which made national headlines. He later stated he was encouraged “to throw some red meat to the crowd… To get the crowd on their feet and get them happy.” Guess who made that suggestion? Joe Deters.

Read the entire post and the linked articles. Is this what we want from our President? I do not believe for one second that McCain is a racist. But his campaign (and by extension himself) don’t seem to be able to avoid people of questionable backgrounds. Is it just bad luck? Is it coincidence, or has McCain turned a blind eye to these sorts of things? Didn’t he just go through a few other SNAFU’s with Gramm, and then prior to that with other surrogates and staffers saying stupid things and/or having questionable ties to outfits that would contradict McCains stated policy positions?

Taken as a whole these lapses in judgment by McCain and his campaign should start taking a toll on his prospects for winning in November. But, alas, the press will have to remove their lips from his dick long enough to take notice.

My friends, the liberal media indeed. Well, I’m off the plaster the neighborhood with Che Guevara posters.
