Baptist minister asks McCain: "Did you call your wife a c*nt?"
Edited on Thu May-01-08 06:40 PM by ErinBerin84
I remember this story came up a month ago. A Baptist minister at a Town Hall meeting today in Iowa asks McCain if it is true that he called his wife a cunt. I can't watch videos on my computer, but the Huffington Post has the text of the exchange. Notice that McCain does not deny it, haha.

In an interview with IowaPolitics.com, Parrish said his intentions were simple in posing the question to McCain. The former Joe Biden campaign worker stressed he is very concerned about the Republican presidential nominee's temperament.

"We have a man whose temper can get the best of him," Parrish said. "What I am worried about is his temper. Our country is in a serious crisis. This election is the most significant one since 1860. It appears America is asleep -- so I stood up and asked the question."

2. I love how it is a Baptist minister, and not a college kid, who
asked the question. And he doesn't even shy away from the language (even though McCain used that as an excuse to dodge the question).

4. And the minister gets escorted out and questioned by the police!
But the worst part is the stupid crowd applauds McLame for saying that these folks don't respect that kind of language!!! The guy was quoting you - dumbass!

The Baptist minister took one for the team.

10. Can we get this 100 recommendations for this?. If this had happened to Obama
it would be all over the news. This is the sort of thing that could really catch on fire with the media if we keep it out there. We need to make this story take hold!

13. Sadly, I think the media spin would be to completely ignore
the story referenced in the upcoming book about John McCain, and instead say "Can you believe those Democrats had this commie liberal plant in the audience trying to push a complete fabrication against a war hero? John McCain handled it with class and authority"

14. Good point. The key is to find a witness who will talk about it or has written about it. nt
