when do you think McCain will fully apologize for callling the Vietnamese gooks

Probably when the Vietnamese government formally apologizes to him for brutally torturing him for years. Imagine a man having unkind words for the nation that deputed sadists to torture him! What gall! It's not as if he had a good excuse for that kind of language, like having a newsletter for example.

BTW, the torture of McCain started around the same time that Ron Paul was sitting around in an air-conditioned National Guard examination room doing things he didn't believe in in exchange for cash.

McCain did forgive the Vietnamese govt.

He went with Kerry to get the trade normalization pact done.

McCain opened Communist Vietnam to trade with the US.

So you think its okay to call the Vietnamese Gooks (still not fully apologized for), but not okay for Paul who unlike McCain, has fully apologize for his newsletters, eh? McCain can be a racist and that's okay with you.

Caught you in another lie.

"Dr. Paul's medical training was interrupted when he was drafted during the Cuban Missile Crisis into the United States Air Force. He served as a flight surgeon out of Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, from 1963 to 1965, attending to the ear, nose and throat problems of pilots. He remained in the military during the early years of the Vietnam War. Paul's active duty service took him to countries such as South Korea, Iran, Ethiopia and Turkey. He then served in the Air National Guard from 1965 to 1968 while completing his medical residency in Pittsburgh. He achieved rank of captain during his service in the Air Force."
