A few diaries have tried to get this noticed, but with the Bail Out and the Polls, I'm afraid it's getting lost.
So, I'm going to try to rescue Cobalt's catch. Hopefully, a Kos heavy or KOS will see this and get it the serious attention I think it deserves.
McCain said in a VIDEO taped interview, yesterday, in Iowa: "I've always wanted to be a dictator."
He is NOT kidding as he says it. He appears angry, and I don't think he is even aware it slipped out of his mind and through his mouth.
This is not hype, or gotcha stuff -- it is just downright freaking scary!
Go below fold for link to Cobalt's catch.
UPDATEL Keith thought it was worthy of coverage, tonight, so I feel a little better that maybe we aren't so far gone as a nation that it has become okay for a POTUS candidate to "josh" about being a dictator. I remind you that Bush "joked" about the same thing and no one took him seriously, either. Then, we all went nuts about FISA among other aspects of the Imperial Presidency.
Three cheers to Cobalt for catching this, and pardon me if this is a "not usually done" Kos thing. I'm a history and government teacher, and this video clip sent a chill through my soul.
Also NOTE: The only un-embedded clip we currently have is to a blogsite by "Saradevil." Now, I want this to go viral, but it simply can't with a link to a blog site titled "saraDEVIL" or it will be immediately discounted by religious fundies. The point would get lost in the backlash noise.
I know, mutter, mutter, mutter, but let's be real about our whole, potential audience.
So, we also need a techno saavy kossack to get it onto YouTube without the link to the word DEVIL in any way.

And, mea culpa if I broke some repeat rules or whatever.
