<<<In defense of McCain (shudder), the word "gook" was almost universally used by in country GIs to describe not the Vietnamese people but rather the guys who were shooting at Americans.>>>

It was not that long ago when I lived in a period when the "N" word was universally used with no thought of real malice. I am pretty sure it is still used in the homes of a lot of decent people.

I can understand it if you go out with the guys and talk that way in bars and other private get togethers.

But don't you think that if you are running for president that your thinking process has to be engaged?
