McCain Plans to Whip Obama

Seriously? 

In an effort to energize supporters at his campaign headquarters in Arlington, Va., John McCain on Sunday may have also whipped up a little controversy with a remark that he’d “whip” Barack Obama’s “you know what” at the next debate.

The presidential candidates are meeting Wednesday in their final televised debate before the Nov. 4 election.

But McCain’s pledge—coming after two days of racial grievances aired by McCain’s camp over a comparison made by Rep. John Lewis of McCain to the late Gov. George Wallace—has sent shivers down the spines of some Republicans who find the racially charged verb may be used against the candidate.

The phrase “whip your butt” or “I’m going to whip your butt” has been a part of the lexicon for what…. two centuries?  And now it’s suddenly racist when talking about DEBATING a biracial presidential candidate?

Please.  The Obama outrage machine is officially in overdrive.
