McCain: racist, bigot & homophobe

It is now abundantly clear that McCain’s only campaign strategy is “vote for me I’m White”.

Even though racism and the Republican “Southern Strategy” elected Ronald Regan as President two times he managed to cloak racist code words in patriotic themes. But there was no YouTube and bloggers during Regan’s election or even Junior Bush’s elections.

The demographics in the South have changed dramatically with an influx of “Yankees” and immigrants. Many of the hard core racists in both rural Northern and Southern areas have literally died and will continue to die off. The Republican “Southern Strategy” may be dying with them.

With McCain's storied temper maybe all we need to do is wait for McCain's "Macaca-YouTube moment" and hope that the South has learned that the war is over and black people are no longer their slaves.

McCain: racist, bigot & homophobe
Created 08/01/2008 - 7:14am
John McCain, a member of the House of Representatives in the mid-1980s, often held court at a table near the bar at Bullfeathers, a popular Capitol Hill watering hole, telling jokes and matching hangers-on drink by drink.
As a Capitol Hill chief of staff, I often drank at Bullfeathers and was invited to join the throng at McCain's table one evening. A few minutes listening to the racism, bigotry and homophobia of the Arizona Congressman told me all I needed to know.
McCain loved to tell jokes about lesbians, blacks, Hispanics and the Vietnamese community that occupied a large section of Arlington County, Virginia, just south of the District of Columbia.
Of course, McCain didn't use polite language in the jokes: He used names like "fags" or "queers" or "dykes" or "niggers" or "spics" or "wetbacks" or "gooks."
A typical McCain joke (overheard at Bullfeathers):
Two dykes are talking at a bar and one leaves. As she walks toward the door, the other watches her leave and says out loud: "God, I've love to eat her out."
Two men are standing near by and one turns to the other and says: "I'd like to do the same. Guess that makes me a dyke."
Or another (also overheard at Bullfeathers):
Question: Why does Mexican beer have two "X's" on the label?
Answer: Because wetbacks always need a co-signer.
(McCain has a documented history of lesbian jokes [1]. He's also come under fire for other jokes about rape [2].)
Exampe:
Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?
