Where's the outrage over this remark by Sen. Claire McCaskill?

[Metric System]

“He, for the first time, I think, as a black leader in America, has come to the American people not as a victim, but rather as a leader,” McCaskill said.

1. um

:eyes:

[depakid]

2. I concluded long ago that's she's none too bright

so this remark doesn't surprise me very much.

[cali]

3. I'll condemn that

I don't like it one little bit.

[Guava Jelly]

4. obviously in th minds of those looking for something to be pissed off about

Can you not find a real issue to bitch about?

[LSparkle]

5. Hey, she's new at being a surrogate -- give her a break

We ought to be focusing on McSame's continual "senior moments" ... no excuse if he's the
"foreign policy expert" everyone seems to think he is.

8. we may eventually get to it LS

but first the non-stop attacks by the Clinton faithful on Obama must be dealt with...it's like whack-a-mole around here...you put them on ignore and they pop up again with a new name-same idiots, new names

[bunnies]

6. Outrage? No. Repulsion? Yes.

What a stupid thing to say.

[ecstatic]

7. It's a disappointing comment. I hadn't heard of it before

but unfortunately, many whites think this way about blacks.

That's why I'm glad Obama is opening up a dialogue about it.

9. I just read the article and saw the statement

Seems to me she is saying he deserves the candidacy because he is the first black man to reach this point in a presidential political race. There will be no outrage because McCaskill supports Obama.

10. OK that was in poor taste

But if you're trying to compare it to Ferraro's comments, it's apples and oranges, and not IMO worth getting outraged.

11. take that MLK Jr. nt

12. Don't sweat the small stuff.

There are real issues and more important people to scrutinize. Look at McCain, who does not know the difference between the Sunnis and Shiites. Look at Cheney, who doesn't care what the American people want, and has no problem saying so.

We should be forcing the media to focus on those types of things.

[Straight Shooter]

13. No outrage because she endorses Obama. n/t

[brentspeak]

14. Did Rush ask his viewers to post flamebait threads on DU, too?

[rodeodance]

17. I see you edited your comment from calling OP a troll to........ wise of you

[brentspeak]

20. Why's that?

[BeyondGeography]

15. She's from a tough neck of the woods...I give her a pass

on the assumption that she knows her audience better than I do.

[brentspeak]

16. The headline to that story reads, "McCaskill defends pastor’s ‘good works’"

Meaning, McCaskill is one of the few public figures who's actually sticking up for Wright.

[rodeodance]

18. too bad she used those words.

[Life Long Dem]

19. Who cares about that. Lets talk issues.

:donut: Doesn't it look like Bill and Hill are putting on the weight? Bill can't even button his suit coat up! :puke: I thought he was going to stop fast food eating. Must be the campaign trail.

21. Glad We Have Her, Not Talent (UGH!), But...

...I've been extremely disappointed in her over and over and over...
