What A Viral Video Says About McCain's Character

Okay, I'm going to start this post with a naughty word warning:

Warning: Naughty Words!
Do Not Continue If Easily Offended!
Now that that is out of the way, I should make it clear that these aren't my naughty words, they belong to John McCain, and I don't approve of them, and I'm only repeating them here because I don't believe in censorship either. You will find no sugarcoating with cute little ***'s here, nope, I'm going to be true to reality, and serve it up unabridged. So here we go.

Many people are aware that John McCain called his wife, Cindy McCain, perhaps the most offensive (to women), misogynistic word out there, a cunt:

In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain’s hair and said, "You’re getting a little thin up there." McCain’s face reddened, and he responded, "At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt."

Now to those who know about John McCain's character, this should come as no surprise. A) He is NOTORIOUS for his vicious temper, B) He is notorious for his potty mouth, and C) He has repeatedly shown his disrespect for women by repeated cheating on his first wife with many women (including current wife Cindy), and then divorced her after a car accident for a skinnier, much richer wife (again, Cindy).

Now there is a viral video out on the internet which is a critique of the media's silence on this horribly offensive comment coming from a presidential candidate, even though they had an orgy of Obama bashing for nearly two months over a couple out of context sound bites from his former pastor that had absolutely nothing to do with him. So this video has a legitimate point, several actually, but some may find it offensive (because it repeatedly uses McCain's naughty word), or a bit over the top, which it may be for some viewers. I went back and forth with myself over whether or not I'd post about it here, because I wasn't sure if it was too much, but in the end I decided it was fair game, for the following reasons:

• It isn't just sliming McCain for the sake of a cheap attack, it actually has a point, and unlike many right-wing smears against Barack and Michelle Obama, which try to paint them as terrorists or militant angry blacks, this is actually true and has been confirmed by several witnesses.
• It highlights the double standard the media used in attacking Obama over ridiculous guilt-by-association smears, while essentially ignoring ANYTHING negative about McCain, especially his past (while they have picked Obama's apart).
• It highlights a part of McCain that most people don't know about (because again, the MSM doesn't even talk about it), which is his explosive temper. While this shouldn't be a major campaign issue (there are so many more important issues out there), it should at least be known, because having a hothead like McCain in the White House with a history of yelling obscenities at people his disagrees with is a bad idea. We need someone who can calmly negotiate with foreign leaders we disagree with, someone who won't jump to name calling or reckless decisions fueled by rage or hurt pride instead of facts and judgment. Obama has shown himself to be just the kind of leader we need in the White House, but McCain has a long history of having very poor character when it comes to judgment, his temper, and his arrogance. The voters have a right to know more about the person who wants to control the most powerful military in history.
• Women deserve to know, specifically the minority of women who supported Hillary and were angry at her loss, and now intend to spite Obama and the Democratic Party by supporting McCain, even though Hillary lost according to the rules, and there was no unfair treatment, and sexism had nothing to do with her loss. These people deserve to understand more about the person they intend on supporting, they deserve to know the low regard he has shown for women, repeatedly, just as they need to know that he is against reproductive rights for women, and would extend Bush's policies toward limiting choice, and would likely have it in his power, if elected, to overturn Roe v. Wade. Before they rush into supporting him out of spite, they need to be well aware that they are hurting themselves in doing so.

So the video is funny, but is also serious. Many may not get that it is intended to provoke a more serious look at John McCain's character, especially from within the MSM which has had a love affair with him for years now. It is vulgar, but only because McCain's comments were vulgar, and its true purpose is to educate, not just get cheap laughs. And people should also be mindful that "cunt" is a horribly offensive and misogynistic word, and it not OK to use against anyone, especially not your own wife. People made a big deal about some people, generally Republicans, calling Hillary a bitch, and needless to say this word is a lot more offensive than even bitch. It should also be noted that this video has no relation to Obama's campaign, or any fixture of the Democratic Party, unlike the majority of the smears coming from the right-wing, most of which seem to originate from the Tennessee GOP. Anyway, without further ado, the video (do NOT watch this at work without headphones):



Okay, for the weak-hearted, here is the censored version.

And for anyone who doubts that the word "cunt" isn't always resting on the tip of his tongue, watch this.
