McCain, as a politician, has been a huge disappointment, but he is a genuine war hero, and for that, I salute him.

Pretty good response for a narcisstic megalomaniac hanging to sanity by a thread. Who’d have thought he’d invoke his “hero status”? Color me surprised.

John McCain Hates everybody who does not worship John McCain.

Is Drudge supporting McCain? This article seems like a cheap shot to me, almost overly so. What would one expect a man who had been tortured to say? I am no fan of McCain by a long shot, but his statements about his barbaric captors will certainly not keep me from voting for him.

Anyone who thinks McCain will apologize for this is a fool for bringing it up. Hell I agree with McCain here.

I can’t fault him for calling those commie bastards “gooks.”

I find it hard to believe that John McCain has done anything in his life that he is honestly proud of.

As for his medals, it is almost impossible to prevent someone from receiving a star once he has been recommended for one.

Mark Levin had good little rant about McCain this evening. I enjoyed it anyway.

I’ve been one of McCain’s harshest critics but, on this I would not fault him in the least. If I would have went through half as much as him, Gook would be one of the milder terms I would use.

Well at least we can count on no mass illegal immigration of N. Vietnamese on his watch.

And if anyone has any criticism of that, I can only say I stand on my record and my Silver Star, my three Bronze Stars and my Distinguished Flying Cross

Who said that? John Kerry?

Why does he keep reminding people that he’s a hero. Real heros don’t act like that. They are humble. He is so smug and you’d think after being a POW for five years he’d have developed a humble spirit. I really do not like this guy!!!

If you were tortured by the Vietmanese, I think you should get some slack on the word gook.

No slack for being a gun grabbing Constitution shredding free speech killing member of the Keating 5.

Given the fact that McCain was regularly tortured by the Vietnamese, it is certainly understandable why he would have such feelings. There are far better reasons to vote against Mr. McCain than this verbal outburst.

The column, by writer C.W. Nevius, quoted the Arizona senator, who was tortured during five years in solitary confinement in Vietnam, as saying, "I hate the gooks. ... I will hate them as long as I live."

I intensely dislike McCain and there are plenty of things for conservatives to hold against him.

That said, this isn't one of them.

McCain answers every question with “I’m proud of my record”....I can’t stand him.

You can bet we’ll hear a lot about that one.

Personally, I’m not deeply bothered about it. My old uncle could never refer to the Japanese as anything other than “Damn Japs.” He suffered terribly in WW2.

"I hate the gooks. ... I will hate them as long as I live."

That doesn't bother me a hell of a lot. What DOES bother me a hell of a lot of the idiot supporting SlicKKK KKKlintler's insane bombing campaign against Yugoslavia. The last thing, and I mean the VERY last thing I ever want my tax dollars being used for is bombing Christians for the benefit of slammites, and that goes quadruple when the Christians in question are totally innocent and the slammites are basically savages and narco-terrorists with a political organization which is basically a branch of AlQuaeda.

While I respect McCain’s service during the Vietnam War,I do not support some of his RINO activites in congress. Hats off to the hero - but he will not get my vote.

Is this the best they could come up with? Good Lord, I don't blame him if he does.
