John McCain might have been a good US President but the people in the US does not need another Republican, that is why he lost in the election. Obama perfectly states the need of the people in his campaign slogan and that is “change we can”.

Imagine you replace the word “gook” with “nigger” or “cracker”. “I hated the niggers. I will hate them as long as I live.” “I hated the crackers. I will hate them as long as I live.” I don’t understand how he is still able to be run for President. Either he has a lot of money or he has a lot of friends with money because this makes no sense whats so ever. I’ll try those two sentences out tomorrow and see if I make it through the day much less an election.

[...] white as he possibly could in his selection of a running mate. He admits that he still “hates the gooks.” He can’t look at Senator Obma, or even utter his name out [...]

to Paul:
hate or hated, doesn’t really make any difference given the next sentence is “I will hate them as long as I live.”

Sorry but he said. “I hated the gooks” not “hate” and was speaking of those that tortuted him.

“Judging an entire ethnic group based on the actions of a few is wrong.”

That’s not really what he’s doing though, is it? Clicking thru to the actual Chronicle article, it turns out that McCain wasn’t talking about all Vietnamese. He was talking specifically about his torturers. He thinks these men are monstrous and describes these particular men with the worst epithets in his language. Okay, fair enough.

What baffles me is that McCain seems completely oblivious to why some people might take offense to this. I don’t think I’d call McCain racist on this alone, but he’s definately guilty of using racially charged language in a thickheaded manner.

No, I totally agree. It’s not something a president of any country ought to be saying.
