McCain in 2000 "I hated the gooks. I will hate them as long as I live."

1. racist scumbag

wonder if he demeans his adopted Bangladeshi daughter like that...

2. no kidding

My uncle was shot several times by the Japanese in WWII and he was able to not hold a grudge to Japanese people. Granted getting shot isn't the same as being tortured but still. McCain is scum.

3. One of my daughter's teachers told the class that McCain wanted to be president....

...so he could "bomb his captives".

[Connonym]

5. in all seriousness, I wouldn't put it past him

not that his sole purpose for becoming president is to bomb the Vietnamese but I think if he has that kind of racist attitude it would certainly affect his decision-making ability when it comes to foreign policy.

4. Understandable, but Fatal

I understand why John McCain hates the people who tortured him. The problem with this statement, though, is the generalization it implies. Any reasonable person would understand why he hated the men who hurt him. But it is hard to understand how John McCain could, say, hate that 10 year old girl whose (now-famous) picture was taken as she ran down a road, screaming and naked, after being napalmed by American air forces.

This is not the temperament of a man who should have access to the Football.

6. Replace "gook" with "nigger" or "kike," and it's "former Senator McCain."

Regardless of situation and/or context.
