Obama Supporter Asks McCain if he Called Cindy an Expletive

Posted by: Matt Lewis at 9:22 AM

Gateway pundit has an interesting post today. Turns out that a questioner who asked McCain an embarrassing and crude question at a town hall meeting was actually a former Biden staffer.

Despite the fact that he is an Obama supporter infiltrating the event, The Des Moines Register took the bait, writing that he was, "a 45-year-old Baptist minister and technology business owner ..." However, the newspaper also noted he attended the meeting by passing himself off as a member of the press. The Huffington Post also advanced the notion that this guy is a "Baptist minister worried about McCain's temper."

By the way, I thought McCain handled it very well (so much for having a bad temper). If this was an attempt to demonstrate that McCain has a bad temper, it failed miserably. After all, if that sort of question doesn't make you irate, I'd say you're pretty unflappable.

Disrespectful
That question was as disrespectful as people asking Chelsea about her father's affair. This is an attempt by an Obamabot to drag another candidate down into the dirty mire that they find their candidate in. This was not the forum to ask that question and McCain was right to say that the language is offensive to people in that room. If a reporter or person wants to ask him that question in a more private setting that is fine, but this is the "gotcha" politics that all the Obamabots complained about after the last debate. This is why I can't stand Obama. He is the ultimate in passive-aggressiveness. He pretends to be something he is not and behind the scenes his operatives do all the dirty work.

When Will Somone Ask?
What comes after "Secure the border first?" Based on his prior actions, my guess is another disastrous amnesty. No Enforcement/No Votes!
