CHARLOTTE, N.C. - A Democratic candidate for North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District stands by calling his primary opponent a coward and a derogatory word used to describe a female body part.

Christian Cano criticized Dan McCready on Facebook for not being tough enough on President Donald Trump’s Charlottesville remarks.

He posted, “Go on the record you coward! You’re running as a Marine veteran. Stop being a coward and stand up for something you (derogatory slur)!”

Dan McCready is Marine veteran who joined the USMC after 9/11 and fought in Iraq.

1. Sounds as if someone is ready

to switch parties.

That kind of talk might lose you a Democratic primary, but it might catapult you all the way to White House as a Republican.

2. This is so wrong to be name calling like this. Of course, the fish rots from the Trump head down and

yes, it applies to all, including Dems. I hope he apologizes --and quickly. Doubling down is not good in this case.

3. is "pussy" meant as a part of a womans anatomy or meant as "scaredy cat"

I believe the latter

8. Yes. You are right. In this context it has nothing to do with a woman's anatomy

and it is a direct reference to being a "fraidy cat" or "scaredy cat."

The term was used that way for decades. It's only in recent times - since some lost souls degenerated to the scumsucking level of republican "family values' - that you began hearing people use it to describe and deride someone in the context of a woman's anatomy.

10. Well, let's see. I was in grade school, about 1955, playing in the sandbox at recess. Suddenly....

...my brother and another little boy were rolling in the sand hitting each other. My brother's indignant explanation: "He called me a pussy!"

I had no bad associations for names of kitty-cats -- I had to ask Mama after school.

I'm not sure when the crossover was complete (if ever), because we were still learning childhood poetry and nursery rhymes featuring pussies that would claw if you were mean to them.

4. Shouldn't have used that word.

It was a good message up to that point, then he shit all over it. Too bad.

5. Hopefully they nominate McCready instead of this raging asshole Cano.

There was nothing wrong with what McCready said about Charlottesville.

6. hopefully they do not nominate McCready-we need all the republicans to lose

[geek tragedy]

7. Cano strikes you as more electable than the veteran? nt

9. oooh, nooo. We need Democrats just not this one.

Adopting trump tactics is not a good trait. If he's the best Charlotte has to offer then McCready will likely win.
