“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.”
I can’t think of a better reason to disqualify him from the office of President of the United States.
The ‘Gooks’ are economic allies of the United States, and I would prefer to see us send manufactuing business to VietNam than to China.
By the way, does ‘Gook’ include all Asians? Just Charlie? The Japanese?
See how this gets messy?
The pejorative term “Gooks” has but one connotation: NVC, North Viet Cong Commies... aka “Charlie”
“The ‘Gooks’ are economic allies of the United States, and I would prefer to see us send manufactuing business to VietNam than to China.”
They are. And I have a feeling this will send rumbles through California, which has a pretty freaking massiave Asian population.
Please don’t make us defend him. Even if we don’t want to, on this, we will.
Hillary or Osama-Obama will bring this up in the General Election.
I would think it meant "Charlie". So what if he said something? Way too much is made of what a person said. We see people branded as racists for some remark, and it's like they should go hang themselves over someting they said. Then you have people who commit outright crimes (in this case war crimes), and people are supposed to forgive and forget, yet condemn as unforgivable the things a person said.
The president of Iran was a freakin' hostage taker for Pete's sake! He violated Int'l Law, and we are supposed to treat him like a lawful head of state. I think it would be interesting for an Asian trading partner to know the guy across the table may have been tortured by him or his buddies, and that he's still pissed off about it.
Yeh, that has no impact on ppl
His Senate record does, though.
