John McCain's unrepentant use of "gook" lasted until his presidential run in 2000. I found this video of Irwin Tang, author of "Gook, John McCain's Racism. And Why it Matters" in a blog entry on <a href="http://www.racismreview.com/blog/2008/08/25/john-mccains-racism/">Racism Review.</a>.</p> <p><object width="425" height="344"><param value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Z2rpvj9NSXM&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" name="movie"></param><param value="true" name="allowFullScreen"></param><embed width="425" allowfullscreen="true" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Z2rpvj9NSXM&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="344"></embed></object></p> <p>Tang quotes McCain: "I hate the gooks, I'll hate them for as long as I live." He adds that McCain used the racial slur for 27 years until he realized that it would put his presidential campaign [in 2000] in jeopardy.</p> rss@dailykos.com (breaker1nine) AndWhyitMatters gook IrwinTang John McCain JohnMcCain JohnMcCainsRacism KatieHong polticalwar racismreview Racist SeattlePI Vietnam _626578 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 20:31:28 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/10/9/625032/-McCain-really-is-a-Terrorist-how-McCain-helped-murder-Benjamin-Linder-and-Sister-Maureen-Courtney <p>John McCain did not load and launch the explosives; John McCain <strong>supplied the explosives that killed Benjamin Linder and Sister Maureen Courtney. &nbsp; <br /></strong></p> <p>Watch the video and then click on "there's more."
