Well, first of all, he didn't call "Asians" "gooks".... he called the North Vietnamese "gooks."
And considering how he's subsequently had lots of contact with the Vietnamese and seems to be well on the way to reconcilation and a leader for the normalization of relations between the US and Vietnam (his captors endorsed him for president, btw)... I'd say you're getting a bit desperate.
If you didn't know, North Vietnamese are Asian. The comment you made was retarded.
I've heard my Dad say the word "****" on many occasions. But he was in the Vietnam war and fought in close quarters with them. Hate dies hard. My dad wasn't captured and tortured for years either. McCain probably secretly wants to tie some of his captors up and beat them with canes. I can't say that if I was in his shoes I'd be able to let that go either.
If those little bastards (VC) were torturing you every day, what would you call them, "honey"? Obviously, you are a saint. I don't hate Michele Obama. I just hate people like her with that pissy attitude. I know nobody that ever assumed she was a member of anything. Of course, in this society, it doesn't matter as to what organization a black person belongs. Just don't let a white person call a Vietcong a ****. By the way, black soldiers called them gooks as well. I know, I was there. Get over it.
If a candidate in Vietnam who was tortured by American soldiers during the war called all Americans fat stupid pigs would you feel the same about his views?

Quit bieng so obtuse! The reason that the OP said "Asians" instead of Vietnamese is now McCain is guilty of slandering not just the Vietnamese who tortured him for 5 years, but also Japanese, Chinese, Laotions, and Koreans. It was deliberatly said in that fashion so that the ignorant, uninformed people in this forum now think McCain is a racist for no reason.
