McCain: racist, bigot & homophobe - nasty jokes he told that I hadn't heard before.

Took out the best of McCain and pasted here, more @ the link.

He's such a marvelous maverick isn't he? :sarcasm:

A typical McCain joke (overheard at Bullfeathers):

Two dykes are talking at a bar and one leaves. As she walks toward the door, the other watches her leave and says out loud: "God, I've love to eat her out."

Two men are standing near by and one turns to the other and says: "I'd like to do the same. Guess that makes me a dyke."
---------------

Or another (also overheard at Bullfeathers):

Question: Why does Mexican beer have two "X's" on the label?

Answer: Because wetbacks always need a co-signer.
---------------


When he ran for the Senate, I attended a gathering of GOP operatives at the National Republican Senatorial Committee where McCain outlined his campaign strategy:

I play to win. I do whatever it takes to win. If I have to fuck my opponent to win I'll do it. If I have to destroy my opponent I won't give it a second thought.

McCain's so-called sense of humor has no limits when it comes to simple human decency. Shortly after former President Ronald Reagan announced he had Alzheimer's Disease, McCain told this joke at a GOP Fundraiser:

Do you know the best thing about having Alzheimer's?

You get to hide your own Easter eggs.

------------------

This is the man the Republican Party thinks should be the next President of the United States. What else should we expect from a party that promotes racism, homophobia and discrimination against anyone with a different skin color, sexual orientation or ethnic origin?

So we shouldn't be surprised that McCain's campaign strategy seeks to raise racial fear about Barack Obama, the first African-American with a serious shot at the Presidency of the United States.

1. Standard when white folks think they're safe from "oversensitive" people hearing.

12. Bullshit
I'm white and so is my husband. We don't tell each other racist and sexist jokes when we're alone.

It's not "standard."

2. How much of this is actually true?
Capitol Hill Blue has a long track record for making things up out of thin air.

4. This is supposedly from the 1980s
even if he did overhear some offcolor jokes, I'm sure time may have exaggerated the details. I can't imagine anyone overhearing such things and not coming out with it before.

3. It's becoming more apparent every day that McNasty is a fraud. Hope his 'base' has figured it out.

5. Not saying this isn't true but Capitol Hill Blue is not a reliable source.
I'm pretty sure that Doug Thompson is, or was, a freeper.

7. Obviously Young At Heart
judging by his juvenile attempts at humor.

9. The Nixon tapes proved what he thought of blacks and Jews
13 May 1971 President Richard Nixon: "We're going to more of these little Negro bastards on the welfare rolls at $2,400 a family

26 May 1971 President Richard Nixon observes: "You know, it's a funny thing, every one of the bastards that are out for legalizing marijuana is Jewish.”

13 Sep 1971 President Richard Nixon tells Bob Haldeman: "Now here's the point, Bob. Please get the names of the Jews. You know, the big Jewish contributors to the Democrats. Could you please investigate some of the cocksuckers? That's all."

NIXON: What about the rich Jews? The IRS is full of Jews, Bob. Go after them like a son of a bitch.


Nixon: "They (Mexicans) don't live like a bunch of dogs, which the Negroes do live like."

11. But it's apparently acceptable for Bayh and Kaine to be anti-gay bigots
as I certainly see lots of DUers advocating for them for the VP spot.

15. Some other McCain gems that aren't sourced to Capitol Hill Blue
Wikipedia has of McCain's "controversial remarks", with citations.

The best-known is probably the one that the PUMA people want everyone to forget about:

In 1998, McCain made a joke during a speech at a Republican fundraiser about President Clinton's daughter, Chelsea, saying: "Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno." The joke was thought so offensive that many newspapers declined to print it verbatim....


About that one, there is absolutely no doubt. McCain has admitted it and apologized for it.
