Nice write-up by C.N. Le on McCain and his use of the words "That One":
What else could he have meant by calling Obama “That one?”Read the full post down at Asian-Nation.
In case you did not already know, there has been much discussion about John McCain’s use of the racial slur “g**ks” when he used that term back in the 2000 presidential campaign in talking about his North Vietnamese communist captors when he was a prisoner of war: “I hate the g**ks. I will hate them as long as I live.”
So in other words, McCain has a history of racial prejudice. It is also clear from watching his interactions in Obama’s presence that he clearly has a lot of contempt for Obama. I’m sure much of it has to do with the adversarial position they’re in as competitors to be the next President. But ultimately, there is a racial component to his contempt as well — that he, as a White person, is getting beat by a Black person.
