Its true that weve asked quite a lot from our countrys men and women in uniform these last few years. But, remember, the cause was good, and therefore highly worthy of the sacrifice involved, especially because that sacrifice was all yours, not ours. You may have come to think that you were fighting and dying for nothing, but in fact your service has been helping to make sure that we were continuing to win elect... er, that American corporations were continuing to domi... er, that the US was continuing to bring freedom and democracy to the world. Yes, thats it, thats it! Some of you have criticized us for not providing you with adequate armor in this war. Remember that grunt who publicly embarrassed Rumsfeld with his question about that, right before Rumsfeld publicly embarrassed himself with his answer about how you go to war with the Army you have? That was years ago, and we still havent gotten you the stuff you need. The important thing, thou Clip Source: www.smirkingchimp.com Greetings, American Servicemen and Servicewomen (those of you who are still alive) - Happy Memorial Day. This is a message from your good friends in Americas conservative movement - otherwise known as the regressive right - and our nice team running the countrys government, the Republican Party. You remember us, dont you? Were the folks who very much like to have our pictures taken with you, especially right before elections. Youve been voting for us for years. Your drill instructors get you all pumped up with testosterone and adrenaline and then were kind enough to provide outlets for your energies in extended quagmires like Vietnam or Iraq. We want to let you know, especially on this Memorial Day, that the rumors youve been hearing about us these last few years are not, um, exactly correct. Just mostly. zum Artikel... Anzeige "I hate the gooks," McCain said clipped by: rustajb clippers remarks: No world leader can speak openly like this. Clip Source: www.sfgate.com McCain Criticized for Slur He says hell keep using term for ex-captors in Vietnam "I hate the gooks," McCain said yesterday in response to a question from reporters aboard his campaign bus. "I will hate them as long as I live." Since then, reports of McCains language have been circulating on Internet chat sites and e-mails among Asian Americans, many of whom find the the term offensive and inappropriate for an elected official. "The use of a racist slur cant be acceptable for any national leader, regardless of his background," said Diane Chin, executive director of the San Francisco-based Chinese for Affirmative Action. "For someone running for president not to recognize the power of words is a problem." While McCains words may have little effect in conservative South Carolina, where few Asian Americans live, they could come back to haunt him in other states. "While it might not hurt him now, Democrats are not going to have any hesitation about using this stuff to string him up later." zum Artikel...
