This just happened in minute 26 of the debate, it was trippy. His eyes widen and then put his hand over his mouth (sort of rubs at his nose)...

It went just like this:

"...before the intervention (eyes widen, hand over mouth) the tragedy in Dallas".

Check it out....

Well that would be a pretty big goof up there.

Can anyone else point to a youtube video or something?

First a link would be good. And second, I'm suspecting the Russians are shooting their truth rays at him.

Wow. I read your post and then went to check for myself (I'm DVRing the debate tonight). It might be stretching to say that it was intentional or meaningful, but it's definitely an odd choice of words.

I think you ought to clarify his body language though. He reaches up ostensibly to scratch his nose (nervous response?), thereby obscuring the view of his mouth--he didn't put his hand over his mouth in the sense of being shocked at his own words.

Man, wish I was watching the debate.

I'd love to see a vid as soon as it gets here.

Yeah I just saw this live, his hands quickly came to his mouth when he noticed what he had said. He was saying that tragedies like the JFK assasination were interventions.....

It's not too far from interpretation to believe that he condones the actions of Lee Harvey Oswald or who ever did JFK in that day.

But I may be just jumping the gun and it was an honest mistake

He was talking about how Obama didn't take his offer to do more town hall meetings, he said Obama said he would do them anytime anywhere and then followed with this exact quote "the way barry goldwater and jack kennedy did before the intervention, the tragedy at dallas."

Not sure what McCain would really know about the Kennedy assassination though. He did touch his face and seemed to stop blinking for longer than normal after he said intervention, which might imply deception.

"The Intervention"!, "The Intervention"!

Are you kidding me?

Oh man, McCain isn't going to be let in on any more State Secrets, that's for sure.

First he calls Americans prisoners and now the JFK assasination was an "intervention"

What is with this guy?

"Interventions" aren't done by individuals. Sounds like McCain believes in the conspiracy theory of the Kennedy assassination.

Is it true that Kennedy had proposed disbanding the Fed right before he was killed? This would be the time in history for McCain to be thinking about the last guy who proposed such a thing, and what happened to him.

Either he is accidentally slipping up, trying to tell Americans the truth in the only way he knows how that won't get him killed, trying doublespeak and bad at it, he wasn't properly brainwashed and secret information is slipping out at the wrong times, or his conscience is really getting to him. Pick your choice.

Adding: Maybe in his own way maybe he is stating that there will be certain things he will have to do, or be killed. He doesn't want to end up like JFK, so he is agreeing to betray the people. Of course, I believe Obama would do the same thing also. There is really no choice between the two.

Too bad...
