John McCain Waxes Poetic About Benefits Of Stockholm Syndrome

McCain speaks with the Ghost of Christmas Present

5/17/2006
Playboy - Evangelical Edition
Lynchburg, VA - On Saturday John McCain gave a speech to the faculty and student
body of Liberty University (formerly Brainwash Acres) in beautiful Lynchburg,
Virginia, named after the towns favorite past time. Though at points he broke
into talking in tongues, the parts that the audience could understand were
described as "Mesmerizing...the way his jowls shook while he spoke was hypnotic."

Senator McCain spoke about many things, but poignantly pointed to the Republican
Party, "Sure, I've spent a lot of time in this god-forsaken bamboo hut of a party
getting chastised, poked at, called a traitor, called un-american, and fed lies,
just to turn around and be forced to regurgitate what I know deep down in my soul
to be against everything I stand for. Somehow though, I feel sorry for them like
a wounded puppy. I should actually thank them for making me realize what a tremendous
cash cow racist fundamentalist nutcases like my new best friend Jerry Falwell can be."


Student prays for a husband...
and an "A" in Theological Logic.

McCain previously had experience being held captive in Vietnam (another totally
justified and legal war). Earlier this year he tried to stand up for the torture
of prisoners being held in American facilities around the world in which he was
quickly told to by the administration to "Shut the fuck up and know your place" to
which he replied, "Oh, when I'm President, you'll be sorry! I am totally going to
forgive the HELL out of all of you. THEN how guilty will you feel? Huh? I thought so!"

1. Did he reiterate how much he hates gooks?
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion/hongop.shtml

On his campaign bus recently, Sen. John McCain told reporters, "I hated the gooks. I will hate them as long as I live." Although McCain said he was referring only to his prison guards, there are many reasons why his use of the word "gook" is offensive and alarming.

It is offensive because by using a racial epithet that has historically been used to demean all Asians to describe his captors, McCain failed to make a distinction between his torturers and an entire racial group.

It is alarming because a major candidate for president publicly used a racial epithet, refused to apologize for doing so and remains a legitimate contender.
