McCain’s Racist Surge
Huffington Post ^ | 11/15/2008 | Joe Cutbirth

As I watch John McCain’s presidential campaign degenerate into a dark, disgraceful display of veiled racism unworthy of the hero who suffered in Vietnam, I’m reminded of the late J.J. “Jake” Pickle, the venerable congressman who represented Central Texas from 1963 to 1995, and a story he once told me about the toughest vote of his career.

TOPICS: Government; Politics/Elections; US: Arizona
KEYWORDS: johnmccain; mccain; racist; strawberries
The article is from November 2008 but it is very relevant today.

From the article:

"He (McCain) should apologize to Barack Obama. He (McCain) should apologize for insulting him by dismissing him as “that one” in front of 60 million Americans last week, and he should apologize for unleashing Palin to whip up that old racist division and see if he could get a vote out of it."

When McCain was alive the media called him a racist and a race baiter. Now that McCain is deceased, the same media is using him a a weapon against President Trump.

No no no... they only called him a racist when he was the (R) in the presidential race. After that, it got back to the old love fest because he went back to attacking Republicans.

Racist, racist, racist

But NEVER a word on the OBVIOUS racism in “Affirmative Action” or “Diversity” programs.

NEVER a word on the disgusting (and frequent) racial pandering to bigoted groups like naacp, la raza, et al

NEVER a word about black racism, asian racism, latino racism . . . it’s only Whites who are racist

And this jerkov talks about “division”

Outright laughable

Another breathless report from that planet we call Bizarro World where there are events that are only revealed to liberals.

I held my nose real tight, and voted for McCain in 2008. I still believe that McCain most likely voted for 0bama in 08 and 12, and voted for Clinton in 16.

He (McCain) should apologize to Barack Obama.

Can we get an apology from Barack Obama for lying about being a naturalized American citizen and fraudulently running for office?

The mere act of running against Obama was racist! Oh, except for Hillary in the primaries. To vote against her was sexist, against him was racist...lose - lose proposition for RATs.
