John Mccain, 65 million years in the making.

I don't think McCain's age is an issue - I think his way of THINKING is old and his way of race relations is archaic in many ways - harkens back to the days of the confederacy - after all, he lauded the confederate flag, fought for its flying over the South Carolina capitol, then said that he his own ancestors fought honorably for the Confderacy, and he lied about his family owning slaves . . . he also supported GETTING RID of MLK Day in AZ

Irwin Tang is an interesting example of a 'structural racists'. By defending Obama simply because of his race, Tang perpetrates one of the most classic racist tendencies, that being to transfer a deep seated, almost sub-conscious, racist mentality onto a person who is willing to engage with another human being critically, not because they are of another 'race', but because of the merit in what they are advocating.

[IrwinATang]

do you have difficulty listening? I do not support Obama in any of my writings. This is about McCain, and I'd like to keep it that way. Don't distract people with your distortions. Like others, I find your sentence rather incomprehensible. But you think I'm racist because I have proven the racist tendencies of another. That's typical of the right wing. Read my book and then tell me I am wrong to accuse a supporter of white supremacists, Neo-Confederates, and racist religious warmongers

I STILL VOTED FOR HAROLD FORD! Tennessee is Racism! IM BORN AND RAISED IN NASHVILLE, I WAS SO PISSED WHEN I SAW THAT DAMN AD! MCCAIN CAN KISS MY ASS!

[IrwinATang]

Of course you were angry. i was disgusted by Terry Nelson's ad, and so were most people of color who saw that. it's obvious to many, but completely okay to some. Those some tend to be powerful - they continue to make racist ads and race-baiting ads. They choose the race and age and attractiveness of actors carefully. They know what they are doing. It's no accident paris is on a mccain ad. They both make pornographies when they should utilize their talents in another fashion

McAnger tries to use Joe the Bummer for his campaign and look where it got him and Joe the Bummer. LMAO. Basically, everything in the McAnger campaign went wrong. Bad choice of VP, no money, desperate for an icon like Joe the Bummer and stuttering problems, etc., etc.

This book is just typical anti-American drivel and how evil McCain is (Is he evil incarnate or just a little bit evil? You decide). Political opportunism used to sell books. Nothing more.

[bernardbeers]

Twat is an English word, so it's obviously Oxford.

[skcocemag]

No I don't think they are racists. I call them morons.

Btw, nice use of the word "twat." You must be very educated. Harvard? Yale?

[tigerwolf69]

Mhmm. You sound like one of those whiny twats who thinks that if you don't vote for B. Hussein Obama, regardless of the reason, you're a racist.

"Wahhhh he's using his full name." Give it a break.

[skcocemag]

The point he was making was how stupid it is to use his full name like the way it is being used. People only use it because of the association, which is horribly insulting.

[tigerwolf69]

Still irrelevant. He's comparing calling someone by a name that ISN'T their name, to calling someone by their full REAL NAME.
