Is McCain's whipping comment just stupid or deliberately inflammatory?

Those seem to be the only choices. Talking about whipping a black opponent is brain dead. If this *is* a deliberate tactic, here are some more phrases McCain might use to pepper his salty stump:

"My friends, in the next debate you'll see that upstart get a sound tongue lashing, then watch him get crippled with the polls afterward. I'll hang him with his own words. Stemming the economic bleeding will be the lynch-pin I'll use to send Obama's campaign to the gallows. The stark differences in my approach and that of Senator Obama have been drawn, and quartered within my staff are some of the best economic minds of our time.

"I plan to beat this guy, hands down. I'll thrash his policies and lower his public stock by running a civil, warlike campaign. Campaigning in Kentucky, I listened to a citizen named Jim crow about voting scams and labor costs. Obama is a runaway spender who wants to grandfather in clauses of legislation that threaten freedoms most of us have cherished for over 200 years.

"Times are tough, but we can hobble the Obama campaign if you'll give me some general leeway to stonewall this dark tide that threatens even the foundations of the White House. If not, you may find yourself slaving away for low wages in a market that isn't free.

"The choice this November is as clear as night and day. Your vote can help me put my opponent back in his place."
