Thread Name: BS: Palin quotes are a hoax
Subject: RE: BS: Palin quotes are a hoax
"...Arabs aren't good family men.."---this post is either a) not serious or b) stupidly PC.
McCain was not addressing the domestic behavior of Arabs. It was an off-the-cuff remark--meant to imply Obama was not a terrorist or a Moslem--as I somehow think the poster knew.
Obviously" Arab" or "Moslem" is not synonymous with "terrorist", and in the best of all worlds, McCain would have addressed this also--as Colin Powell did.
But to tag McCain as racist on the basis of this remark is just more-PC-than-thou. Spare us.
