By this logic, if someone is beaten or victimized by African-Americans, than that person has a right to use the N word.

Blah blah blah, and canada (lower case by intent) was voted the most boring place in the world, any wonder why they still suck up to the Limey masters monarchy, eh?

But his nephew is. Think they'll become butt buddies once again when this is all over? Will Ayres be sleeping in the Lincoln Bedroom? I just gots to know.

He went thru years of brutal captivity at the hands of the North Vietnamese.

I think anyone would hate the gooks after what he went thru.

So what exactly did the Vietnamese do to you? Or does McCain's use of this racist slur somehow give you a get out of racist slur free card?

There are some really sick folks on this forum.

He may have been tortured and held captive by the North Vietnamese military, but he offends all Vietnamese people by having used the word 'guuk'. Those people were victimized by their communist party and our government, and we should apologize to them rather than insult them by using that term. Has he repudiated it recently?

Canaduh is not only bigger and brighter than the USA, we're on top. Canaduh is booming, the USA is busted. We're still number 1. We have no army and an unguarded border and the USA is still to afraid to invade us.

That's part of what scares me about this man. It seems like when he goes into a rage, objectivity goes out the window along with tact, and he starts bellowing out what he "really" thinks. Loudly.

I just can't picture this disorganized, non-objective hothead in the middle of foreign relations. Good God, we have enough enemies already.

lets be fair. if you get imprisoned and tortured for a year you are guna say not nice stuff about your tormentors. i really think making an issue of this is not fair to mr mccain a real live hero and a good american.
mccain is scarred for life, he does not want to leave bagdad, not ever. he has a score to settle about vietnam. that is why i support so strongly obama. the war must end, we are going broke fast. nothing personal its about the money show me the money.

Well, of course, the Constitution guarantees to all of us the right to use whatever words we choose.
