ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) -- Republican John McCain vowed Sunday to "whip'' Democratic rival Barack Obama's "you-know-what'' when the two presidential candidates meet Wednesday in their final televised debate.
McCain made that pledge as top advisers said he is weighing new economic proposals to help the nation weather the financial crisis. The Arizona senator refused to answer a reporter's question Sunday about what plans he might be considering.
"We're a couple points down, OK, nationally, but we're right in this game,'' McCain said to cheers. "The economy has hurt us a little bit in the last week or two, but in the last few days we've seen it come back up because they want experience, they want knowledge and they want vision. We'll give that to America.''
"We're going to spend a lot of time and after I whip his you-know-what in this debate, we're going to be going out 24/7,'' McCain said.

40. It's Not A Racist One, That's For Sure.
Some of you want to convince yourselves that it is. You want to twist it into having racial intent. But that's just flat out wrong. If you choose to stay convinced of such a flawed interpretation, then you are being willfully ignorant.
The phrase "whip his ass" has no origins that relate to racism whatsoever. Ass is a donkey. It's about having control by whipping someone elses donkey etc.
McCain said it, he knew what he said, and it has the meaning any rationally thinking individual readily knows it to mean; which is to simply win handily.

89. Is there any kind of metaphor for defeating a black man that CAN'T be interpreted as racist?
Beat, whip, trounce, trample, stomp, clobber, hammer, hang out to dry...
How long will it be, how many generations have to pass, until the hypersensitivity (being pointed out to us by someone of unidentified race but who certainly is NOT Barack Obama) fades away?
Oh, am I allowed to say "fade away"? I don't mean to say that black people should start looking like white people...

88. Your Laughter Makes You Look Silly And Shows Your Ignorance On The Subject.
The origin of the phrase goes back to an ass being a donkey, not a person's ass. You might want to educate yourself let you continue to look like a fool.
Slaves weren't whipped in their asses. They were whipped on their backs.

90. Your posts are what make you look silly and ignorant
You might want to get in touch with the real world today, but I doubt even that would stop you from making yourself look like an ignorant fool.
I'm gonna whip his ass = I'm gonna whip his donkey..
Only a complete ****ing idiot could draw to the conclusion...
Ghostboy is super duper pissy now!

95. Wow, Are You Embarrassing Yourself.
Are you so closed minded as to not be able to grasp the simple concept that when I state that I'm referring to the ORIGINS of the phrase? Are you so foolish as to imply that I'm inferring that's the context in which McCain said it? My god, how silly.
The point is that it has no roots to racism. As it's developed over the years, it now means to beat one's opponent handily and is not racial in context whatsoever. McCain spoke it in the same manner as anyone else would speak it, as trash talk and overconfidence stating that he's going to win the debate. Nothing more, nothing less. Calling it racist is silly.
