Reply #61: I agree with the "many other reasons" part. This single incident? Not at all. [View All]

Is this a trend in McCain? Does he have a history of flying off into racist diatribes? Does he see a person of color and instantly label them? We certainly have plenty of precedent for that kind of behavior ("Macaca"), and those idiots are flushed.

The strangest part of this argument is that DU is constantly repeating, "We understand why 'they' hate the United States." We tolerate being called The Great Satan or similar slurs because our government has done horrible things to a lot of countries. But, a political opponent is suddenly an intolerant racist bastard who is unfit to lead for doing exactly the same thing. I'm going for consistency on this one: I'll tolerate McCain's one-time usage of a racist slur because of the circumstance. I'll look for other reasons not to vote for him.
