For that very morning, hours before Westmoreland made his gaffe in Washington, 8th District congressional candidate Rick Goddard of Houston County, the Republican challenger to U.S. Rep. Jim Marshall, used the same phraseology over the radio. Just not about Obama.
It was on the “Kenny B. and Charles E. Show” down in Macon, a strange hybrid of a morning news show that was only on its third broadcast. The program can be found on the Macon Telegraph web site, on 100.9 FM, and — for an hour each morning — on WPGA-TV. All at the same time.
Goddard was just back from the Republican National Convention in St. Paul.
This is the sound clip sent to us by the Telegraph. Here’s what Goddard said:
“I’ll tell you one thing, I think we’re going to have a very, very strong, capable president in John McCain. Last night, Newt Gingrich disarmed a very uppity newscaster who tried to question him on the capabilities and leadership of Governor Palin. There’s simply no comparison between a governor and a community organizer….”
Now, you could say that Goddard was referring to media elitism, a topic that was all the rage up in St. Paul last week. Then again, you could also say that Ron Allen, the MSNBC reporter in question, is African-American. See the clip in question below.
