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/2008/10/7/622932/-CNN-Fact-Checks-Keating-Economics-documentary-Verdict-True <p>This may have already been diaried, it's already been dugg like crazy so I'll delete it if it's a dupe.</p> <p>In CNN's attempt to objectively uncover the truth in the '08 Presidential race, they take a look at the Obama campaign's high-noon documentary pointing our McCain's shady dealings with Charles Keating and how it affects our current economic situation.</p> <p>cnn link <a href="http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/10/06/fact-check-did-mccain-intervene-on-behalf-of-charles-keating/#more-23012">here:</a></p> <p>digg link <a href="http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/CNN_Fact_Checks_Obama_s_Keating_Economics_Video">here:</a></p> rss@dailykos.com (breaker1nine) CharlesKeating CNN FactCheck John McCain JohnMcCain Keating5 TomBrokaw _622932 Tue, 07 Oct 2008 19:24:08 +0000
