A recently released audiotape from a McCain radio commercial taping provides startling insights to McCain's views, his "out of touch" speaking "style", and his hard-right wing associations like the World Council for Freedom. Transcription below.
"I'm John McCain, and I approve this message.
My friends, I'm a maverick. When, I get to Washington, I'm going to cut that pork barrel spending and those earmarks. Those crazy tattooed kids running around like savages. You see, I'm a maverick. Never been to Washington. I'm a maverick, who needs a maverick partner. That's why I have a lip-sticked filly named Sarah Palin. We're mavericks. We're mavericks you see, and we're going to clean up Washington.
Cut that pork barrel spending.
My friends, when we're done with Washington we're going to clean up the rest of America. That's right. We're going to get rid of those Public Enemies and those Ni@@ers With Attitudes. And, with all due respect to Senator Obama, we got to get rid of those ni@@ers.
Cut that pork barrel spending.
Senator Obama criticizes me for not talking about middle America. I don't like middle America. Those Hobbits with those large, hairy feet freak me out. Don't like middle America.
Cut that pork barrel spending.
My friends, I don't like middle America. That's why I have eleven houses and thirteen cars. I drive right through middle America to Arizona. Arizona, you see, my friends. Can't stand middle America and those large footed freaky Hobbits. That's why I married me a pill-addicted heiress. Have to stay away from middle America.
Cut that pork barrel spending.
I'm John McCain, and I approve this message."
There has been no official comment yet from the McCain campaign. However, campaign insiders say that this was not an official campaign commercial. McCain was merely joking while audio tape was rolling.
The Obama campaign released the following statement. "John McCain has always spoken his mind."
