Let’s sort it out then. mac is saying that these things make ALIPAC racist and bigoted when the clear explanation is right here.

“ALIPAC organizer William Gheen said the group did not delete the term “Operation Wetback” from postings because it referred to President Dwight Eisenhower’s historical effort to remove a million illegal immigrants from the country in the 1950s.”

“’The term wetback appears on our website as well as 90,300 other sites, according to Google,’ Gheen said. ‘The moderator didn’t remove it because it wasn’t used as a pejorative racial slur. Our moderators do their best to remove any racially insensitive comment but the website is clearly marked as an open-source comment section.’”

It’s the latest iteration of one of McCain’s most consistent messages: that Hayworth, a vocal immigration hawk, holds views that go beyond the conservative mainstream and into the fringe.

So how do you “misinterpret this crap? It says what it says and mac is a lowlife liar. Period.
