Ugh. McCain invited accusations of elitism by calling Obama an arugula-loving, berry-tea-drinking, Starbucks-swilling, elite liberal know-nothing. But watching the left attack McCain for having multiple houses and $520 shoes is not exactly uplifting either.

The money quotes: But then there was another interview – this is yesterday, same day – where somebody asked John McCain, how many houses do you have? And he said, I'm not sure. I'll have to check with my staff. [Audience laughs.] True quote. I'm not sure. I'll have to check with my staff. So they asked his staff, and he said, at least four. At least four. Now, think about that. And by the way, the...

The hardcore LCR crowd is beginning to look more and more like the 20% Freeper base -- blind devotion to their candidate regardless of how craptastic (or in the case of the LCRs, publicly homophobic) the pol is.

On Saturday at Saddleback Church, John McCain blurted out that he thinks anyone making $5 million or more qualifies as rich. If that response doesn't reveal just how out of touch McCain is with the reality of regular Americans' lives, I don't know what does. Over at The Real McCain , the always reliable Brave New Films has released a well-timed video hitting McCain for his lifestyle of private jets...

Guess what? McCain's rich, and he also probably cheated at the Saddleback Church forum. As the Huffington Post notes, a man's shoes say quite a bit about him. MCCAIN'S HOMES Phoenix $4.6 million Coronado, CA $2.1 million Sedona, AZ $1.9...

Pastor Rick gave Obama and McCain the same questions Saturday night at the Saddleback mega-Church. Even though McCain, who managed to evade the "cone of silence," had an opportunity to hear the questions as they were being asked of Obama, he must have not thought the one through where Pastor Rick asked him to define "rich." Obama had explained that to pay for the functioning of government-- the international...

This video deserves to be passed around to all your friends and co-workers who still think John McCain is a man of the people. If the Republicans can take issue at a $400 haircut, I think it perfectly pertinent to bring up John McCain's multiple million-dollar homes. Especially as so many Americans are facing the real danger of foreclosure, on their one, non-million dollar homestead. Hat tip to the...

From The Real John McCain : John McCain is soaring to new heights of hypocrisy on his wife's personal jet. He flies around the country bent on duping the public into believing he's "one of them," a regular guy who can empathize with Americans facing an overwhelming economic crush. What's more, he disparages those who oppose his ridiculous policy proposals as "elitist." But who's the real elitist? The...

In the past week, Sen. John McCain has proven repeatedly he just doesn’t get it. He’s said, once again, that the economy is strong . He thinks you're “rich” only if you make $5 million or more a year. And, in the thick of a housing crisis, he’s made a startling admission: He doesn’t even know how many properties he owns . McCain told a reporter in New Mexico yesterday, “I’ll have my staff get to you,”...

Yesterday, Politico posted a story that John McCain didn’t know how many houses he owned. It turns out he doesn’t own any directly. His wife Cindy owns at least eight, some of which are occupied by her children and some of which are investment properties. In any case, within 24 hours the Obama camp had [...]

Robert Greenwald's Brave New Films is doing some great video work during this campaign, like this one, which demonstrates the disconnect between John McCain's rhetoric about the housing crisis and the ten homes John McCain enjoys, not because of his own hard work, but because he dumped his first wife to marry an heiress: I only wish that Barack Obama and his campaign would take a page from Greenwald's...

Coming from the candidate who called for a high-minded campaign, then almost immediately kicked off a shallow and continuous string of character attacks, however, McCain has specifically determined that privilege and elitism would become central themes in this election fight.
