What Did McCain Mutter At The Debate? |

When Barack Obama challenged McCain for not knowing whether he would meet with the President of Spain, did McCain actually mutter "HORSES**T" under his breath? You take a look at this video and decide what you think:

The colloquial equivalent of “equine feces”?
Sounded like the southern leavings of a northbound horse (X2)
I shovel horsesh*t nearly every day, Senator McCain, and what Senator Obama said is not horsesh*t!
He didn’t say it but everything else that came out of this mouth was horsesh*t.
Seems to me he said it twice. Now that’s mavericky if I ever saw it. I wonder how he’d react to Putin, fire off a nuke just to get a point across?
I’m feeling rather fond of the Republican Party at the moment, for dashing the bailout bill. But ultimately, this too shall pass.
I have strange bedfellows anxiety as well. When Donna Edwards, Carol Shea-Porter and Dennis Kucinich vote with Lynn Westmoreland, Michelle Bachman and Marsha Blackburn, it induces vertigo, to say the least.
No wonder Hot Hank Paulson had himself a woozy spell on Saturday night.
Guess he’s waiting until the 2nd or 3rd debate to call that trollop Barack Obama the c-word…
did McCain actually mutter “HORSES**T” under his breath?
Ain’t no bout adout it…
John was loosing lots of people lose it and swear, refuse to look at, lie, belittle others etc when they lose.
Now if John was a good loser that would surprise me.
Yeppur.
An’ ah’m gonna cahl da FCC.
Shovel (Digg) It Here!
This is good news we Know What pisses John off I hope Obama pushes his buttons and makes him say HorseSht louder!
There’s a case to be made that McCain said, “Of course it is” but I really don’t think that’s what he said. He said “HORSESHIT” didn’t he?
I watched it 4 times and I’m convinced that’s what he said. Even if he hadn’t, it pretty much goes without saying they should change the name of his bus to the Horsesh*t Express.
he said, “i was a pow!”
Horseshit McCain crashed how many American planes? If he was an enemy pilot they would have made him an Ace Pilot:) Giving McCain back to America would have hurt us more than keeping him prisoner.
OT – my fav video of the day. David Shuster blows up a McIdiot.
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/220700.php
heh.
Brutal.. Shuster rocks.
Man, he did light him up, didn’t he. These guys are gonna be punching bags for the pundits now. This is gonna be fun to watch. Evil, wicked, mean and nasty, that’s me.
Evil, wicked, mean and nasty, that’s me.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that, of course.
heh.
self-referential statement, eh?
If Obama had muttered the same.. there would have been loud bleeps entered immediately.. and even louder cries from Republicans and the media.
As someone who gets paid to transcribe voices I’m not sure about this one. Also, if you listen to the sound and watch the lips I’m not “seeing” him say “horseshit.” This is a time-wasting non-starter as far as I’m concerned.
I think it is intended for amusement only, nobody believes that it is a game-changer.
No, no — I think McCain should have to withdraw from the campaign and resign from the Senate!
Is he still in the Senate? I thought he just dropped in for the rare photo op.
Is he still in the Senate? I thought he just dropped in for the rare photo op.
Yes he did drop by – got all confused and ended up in the House.
oops.
Still remembers where all the best restaurants in D.C. are though, so – not to worry. The important shit? – he’s still got it.
Actually, jiltin’ Joe has to tell him where they are.
The thought of McSFB and Short Ride ridin’ around my hometown in a chauffeured waaaambulance is more than I can bear.
given my propensity to curse, it is no big deal to me
You?! I’m shocked
I can turn the air purple myself, and do so on a regular basis. It’s just that given the relatively crappy quality of both the sound and the video I’m not buying the premise.
Elmore ran it through the audio in the TeeVee truck….. it does indeed have McCain saying what you think he is saying….. My question is WHY wasn’t the audio guy on the Debate not catch it AND was it on a delay……. Why wasn’t McCain Bleeped?
Inquiring minds want to know……
I knew we could count on Elmore’s expertise!
I suppose we should all complain to the Commission on Presidential Debates and the FCC for allowing such pollution of our airwaves.
You should of heard Elmore roar with laughter….. BTW did you hear that Phoenix had the lowest viewership for last Friday’s Debate….. Hahahahaha
Most people swear….. the issue is that McCain is running for the highest elected office in our country AND his temperament IS an issue…
Going for a walk….. see ya’all later….
Those folks didn’t NEED to watch — they already know more than they need to about McSame.
Sounds like horseshit to me, but then so does everything McCain says.
Teddy, He muttered it once and clearly said it a second time.
Did anyone catch MCain doing the lizard at the debate last Friday? He also reacted to Obama uttering the word ‘orgy’.
ha
The question which quickly arises is
Does Republican John McCain know how many horses he owns?
I don’t think he owns any actual horses, just several metric tons of horseshit.
As the joke goes, where there is so much horseshit, there must be some horses nearby.
He is just holding the shit for his buddies on Wall Street who will be back any minute now. Honest, officer, it’s not mine. I don’t even know what it is – never even tried it. Just doing a favor for some friends….
LOL all that matters is that you know his horses shit does not stink.
Of course not.
They are Conservative, Republican horses.
Real values horses.
This goes to the same crap IOKIYAR
I want to know why the Audio guy on the TeeVee truck not catch it?
Was the Debate on a delay which was mandated after the Janet Jackson stunt?
If this was run through a professional audio system and you could hear the words then IS this an issue….
If Obama had said it there would be HELL to pay.
more free oppo from the Netroots!
Obama sure owes us now!
I’m with ES – he said it twice. I didn’t catch it during the debate, but on the replay it is definite.
During the debate, I thought I heard him say it, but then I thought, “Oh, no, he couldn’t possibly….” and things continued on.
But since Elmore’s run it through professional equipment and has no doubt about what he said, I’m convinced.
I’m sending a link to this post to rachel@msnbc.com
(You can too!)
Done.
…but its farts give it away.
MUST SEE video, from McCain’s days as a circus clown.
Did you all catch KO’s worst person tonight. Obama made the cut. Seems he was saying that it’s his anniversary and after 15 yrs of marriage, Michelle has trained him well. Only problem, he’s been married 16 yrs. Cute.
Musta been a slow day for worst people.
Just showing that he is fair and balanced.
Whatever he said, it was certainly a Popeye moment. The more calm and presidential Obama appeared, the more it looked like McTantrum was a can of spinach away from blowing his stack and trying to bite off Obama’s kneecap.
That’s a funny way of putting it, and yes it did.
You all know that KO said that what he heard McC say was ‘course not, course not’ with a sibilant s. As mentioned before, I have trouble hearing the sound on computer videos, does ‘course not’ seem a reasonable response to what Obama was saying?
HBP premiered tonight a documentary ”Taxi to the Dark Side.”
Every voter, every congressperson, every media person who fancies him/herself a journalist should be required to watch it.
Monsters live among us. Cowardly monsters. And their names are George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, John Yoo…..
should be HBO.
Sorry, it’s been a rough day for us.
I’m recording a later showing tonight for viewing tomorrow.
(watching a recorded Chris Rock – Kill The Messenger right now).
my sides are starting to hurt – but hell, I needed it.
O O. Where did I see a link today about POWs saying McCane got away with far more than others who confessed and were punished? Gotta look.
And yes, Teddy, it was horseshit. Why didn’t he refute Obama on the point then? Cuz he’s full of it.
Gotta be careful with those links. Couple of hate sites out there.
Mcnutjob is a smoldering pile of horses**t. Fitting that he would mutter it under his breath when he’s caught red handed in all his ignorance. What a complete ass. It’s gone past not being able to stand the sound of his voice, but when I see his face on my teevee I rush to get rid of it before I vomit.
but when I see his face on my teevee I rush to get rid of it before I vomit.
careful now – you’re starting to make him sound presidential…
i can’t tell. but ya know,McSame got criticized for not looking at Obama and he’ll probably do that and he’ll be more effective. All that blinkin’ might get Barack wigged out. But he might be too scaredy-’fraid to look Obama in the eye. Justy like he’s too scaredy-’fraid to let Dowd on his plane. I think the war hero has become quite the wus in his dotage.
Oh…and while I have little trouble believing that McCan’t said “horseshit,” I’m not sure it matters. The condescending attitude he clearly displayed Friday was enough to lose him the debate in my book.
McCain didn’t mutter horse***t.
McCain muttered “He’s right.”
Not.
I hope Obama comes up with a few digs for the next debate. I don’t know if McCrazy could contain himself if he received multiple digs. Probably not.
Dugg it!
KO speculating that there will be no veep debate. It was talked about in the last thread. She can’t possibly go through with it, but how is she going to get out of it? Mc’s campaign is on life support. There will be no hope after the debate.
But after McCan’t tried to weasel out of his debate, how can Palin dodge the bullet? Repeated debate-avoidance stunts aren’t exactly going to win friends.
I agree. They’re in an impossible situation.
Schadenfreudelicious!
Just saying that they’re in an impossible situation made me think of the last 8yrs. Not doing the prep work, acting impulsively, choosing people for ideology rather than competence, creating no-win dilemmas…..sounds like Bush.
My friends, as you can see our border with Russia from Alaska. I fear for the National Security of my state. I must rush back to Alaska to protect and defend her from the Russian Evildoers. Considering my state has been designated as the place to go in preparation for the rapture I must take this stand now. Tomorrow may be too late, therefore I am suspending my campaign and going into video discussion with the Alaska national guard to see what I can do about getting them home to defend our country from the terrorists. It’s a dangerous world my friends.
Sarah Palin
Oh, and, Hi, Teddy! Great post.
Yes he did. Indeed, he did.
Is the next debate on the economy? I think Obama’s going to mention the Keating 5. I think he’s saving it.
Probably debatable whether McCain remembers that he had a role in it.
Ha-ha!
“Keating Five, whatever are you talking about?”
Stayed here way too late last night. Not tonight.
Be good to yourselves, and all other living things.
Namaste
See ya, SD.
Nite, SD
Congress threw the Money Changers out of the Temple.
And saved $700 billions into the bargain.

Night SD.

Now that Oxdown is up, it’s a good place for those who want to blog along with Jon Stewart without incurring the spoiler wrath here. So I’m going to start up a thread in a few minutes over there. Anyone interested?
Excellent idea…but I’m going to watch him in bed. Goodnight all.
No.
tee-hee
But you East Coast elites have a great time! *g*
Southern Dragon, the site is down now. From over at EW…

This is damning of McCain:
It must have been a YouTube, which I cannot access at work. But the jist was about McCain closing down any further studies of POW/MIA investigations.
Link left off post above:
Yup, that was a double hosresh*t.
Now personally I like horse manure, it is good for the garden. McCain variety not so much. If Hillary was debating him rather than Obama he probably would have said c*nt.
He said “Of course, Of course not.” The audio is clearer on the NBC version instead of crappy hand held video recording of live TV.
Better video here.
Direct link here.
Skip to 4:30 on the nbc version. You’ll hear it. It’s clear.
Now let’s get hysterical about something else.
We like getting hysterical about this right now, but thanks for playing.
Sorry, I’m not trying to ruin it for those having fun, but someone is going to take it seriously the other way. If you don’t believe me check the youtube comments…
He said I’m not going to eat that Patty!
This post’s up to 22 Diggs, even though Oxdown diggs don’t show yet.
So — please Digg it up!

Watched it many, many times. Read his lips.
He said horsesh*t. He didn’t say “of course”, about the only plausible alternative, because that makes no damn sense at all.
Anybody look at it with closed captioning……..just wondering if they caught it.
Yes he did. I suggest we write letters of complaint to the FCC. I’m sure they’ll get right on it.
Sure he said horseshit. But you guys are whistling in the wind if you think that does anything for our team. The r-wingers will love it.
I personally wish more of these guys would call “horseshit” when it’s needed.
A fun post, but much about nothing if it goes beyond here. It’s maverick behavior. Leave it alone.
Yes:
1) he did say HS
2) B.F.D.
BUT– 3) IF Obama said anything even remotely resembling that, it would probably be game over.
the man mouths something that looks like HS, then he actually says it outloud. But the content of what Obama is saying trumps what McCain says by a long shot. the man is incompetent.
Could be a hoax, at least according to this post on Boing Boing -

Will need to cut & paste as link posting apparently is not working…
