Flashback: McCain Calls Vietnamese "Gooks"
January 15, 2008
The John McCain campaign is on a roll, and here's even more good news for his 2008 race to be President. He's no longer calling Vietnamese people "gooks" - at least not in public.
Back in 2002, the Senator told reporters, "I hated the gooks. I will hate them as long as I live." While McCain was referring specifically to unsavory prison guards during his time as a prisoner of war, his comments made Vietnamese people go crazy. You can still read some of the accounts at AsianWeek.com and AsianAM.org.
A day after his comment hit the papers, John McCain released a statement saying, "I apologize and renounce all language that is bigoted and offensive.”
According to onlinedictionary.com, the word "gook" can also refer to "any thick messy substance". There is no information at this time as to McCain's feelings on that kind of gook.
Please return to VoteForBreakfast.com in the coming weeks to see what Hillary Clinton says she never said about a Jewish guy.
Presidential candidate Mr Breakfast will continue to point out the foibles and goofs of all the candidates (regardless of party) until they reveal a position on the importance of breakfast.

He should know that racial slurs don't just attack individuals -they attack an entire race. I suppose if a black guy rear-ended him on the street he could start using the n-word too?

Well good for him, he fought them chinks in war so he has the right to call them slanty eyed people whatever he shall see fit.
