McCain: "Trade Burkas"

[hopeful]

McCain just lost every single Arab in Michigan haha.

I heard on the news today that Michigan has a high Arab population

anyone have a youtube of this yet? we need a youtube video specifically made to point out the racism inherant in the remark.

unbelievable that he didn't get booed for that

The funny part is Dr. Paul was talking about trading with Isreal AND Arab nations as opposed to funding them all.

We should make a youtube video compiling all of the Arab stereotypes interwoven into the other candidates' answers.

Combine the McCain clip with Romney's "Sayed Q-Tip" remark from the other debate (ABC).

It is disgusting not only that these guys would say this, but they obviously understand it will score them points with their audience to use these sort of epiphets. Its a sad commentary.

He doesn't want to trade with them but wants troops there for 100 years. How in the hell is that not imperialism?

I want the Huckabee response about the gates of hell and sand in their faces.

it doesn't matter what a dictionary says. it matters what was in his heart - what HE meant.

that was a racist comment because HE is the one who confuses islam, with arabs. it was meant to demean arabs.

HE IS A RACIST!!!

but then, i guess it all depends on what "is" is.

Well, he sure does love those illigal aliens from Mexico. By the way, are Arabs a race of peoples? I know their skin colors seem to span the spectrum. My wife is an Arab (Lebanese) and any time she has to signify her race she marks the "white" box.

Frankly, I think you are too PC for your own good. Ya know, the term "racist" was dreamed up by the neo con god, Leon Trotsky, about 110 years ago as a propaganda tool to advance communism. Think about that.

people were stunned into silence. you could feel the collective guilt.

 

[thisisgiparti]

sorry. happy fingers tonight.

 

[davidhperry]

Who's racist now?

It's certainly not going to help him in Michigan - heavy Muslim population there.

 

[krott5333]

I love how he says they'll only trade burkas, but somehow theyre advanced enough to "come fight on our soil if we dont fight on theirs"

 

[RonPaulCult]

that was the most disgusting thing I've ever heard in a debate. I wish Paul had called him a racist right then and there but the response was still pretty good

can we get the exact text of what he said and make this viral?

"I'm not interested in trading with al Qaeda, all they want to trade is burkas. I don't want to travel with them, they like one-way tickets." -- McCain
