    "Racism should never be tolerated (see the obama arab thing)."

    Uhh... I may be mistaken, but didn't McCain very publicly refer to Vietnamese as "removed?" and stated that "(he) will hate them as long as he lives"? Like what the fuck lol.

    edit Oh damn. Did not realize that was going to be censored, I hope I don't get nuked by the mods for using a slur in a quotation. But I think anyone reading this will get what slur it was through the use of context.

      The "obama arab thing" wasn't even good???

      “I can’t trust Obama. I have read about him, and he’s not, um, he’s an Arab,” a woman said to McCain at a town hall meeting in Lakeville, Minnesota in October 2008.

      McCain grabbed the microphone from her, cutting her off. “No, ma’am,” he said. “He’s a decent family man [and] citizen that just I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues, and that’s what the campaign’s all about. He’s not [an Arab].”

      That's ridiculously racist. "He's not an Arab, he's a decent guy!"
