What did you expect? He barely understands the Intertubes



This is freaking hilarious.

It seems McCain’s website resorts to bizarre, arcane filtering in its comments section. Waaaaay too many words are “poison words”:

Apparently, any word containing combinations of letters like ‘net’ or ‘org’ or ‘gov’ gets rejected. Likewise: “Just to add a couple more that trip the filter: words that contain the three letters such as in com.p.a.s.s as well as anything requiring an .a.n.a.l.ysis.” This leads to considerable frustration: people find themselves posting comments like this:

“Y e p, h e a r d i t a c o u p l e d a y s a g o. S e e m s t h e y w a n t t o a d d m o r e t a x e s to f i x r o a d s. The s a d p a r t i s, i f y o u c a n ‘t a f f o r d t o d r iv e, r o a d s a r e k i n d o f a m o o t p o i n t, d o n ‘t y o u t h i n k? Y e t t h e y w o n’ t r e l e a s e t h e b u d g e t on w h a t h a s b e e n s p e n t o f t h e r o a d s, n o r w h a t i s a c t u a l l y n e e d e d m o n e t a r i l y t o f i x t h e m.”

Here are some words I suggest they add to their poison-word list:

  • McSame
  • Sidney
  • bomb Iran
  • Double Talk Express
  • McLame
  • McPain
  • senile
  • gramps
  • Insane McCain
  • Mister Magoo
  • walnuts
  • Popeye
  • McCain’t
  • fossil
  • McBush
