Oliver Clark, the African American man that McCain insulted during the second debate, is striking back on his Facebook page, per MSNBC:

How did I feel about Sen. McCain stating "You probably never heard of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac before this."
Well Senator, I actually did. I like to think of myself as a fairly intelligent person. I have a bachelor degree in Political Science from Tennessee State, so I try to keep myself up to date with current affairs. I have a Master degree in Legal Studies from Southern Illinois University, a few years in law school, and I am currently pursuing a Master in Public Administration from the University of Memphis. In defense of the Senator from Arizona I would say he is an older guy, and may have made an underestimation of my age. Honest mistake. However, it could be because I am a young African-American male. Whatever the case may be it was somewhat condescending regardless of my age to make an assumption regarding whether I was knowledgeable about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

McCain, like, Phil Bryant, can't stop talking about their hero, Ronald Pagan Reagan. If a dog racist is your hero, I know you can't think much of me, a black man.

McCain might not know what a "Facebook" is, but he does know what an invasive melanoma of the face is because he's had at least four removed from his face in recent years. Excellent article on McCain's cancer in todays Counterpunch.Org online. Six months to live after taking office is a possibility, as in President Palin.
